A roadmap for research on self-managed abortion in the United States
(Posted August 29 2018)
Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH), Gynuity Health Projects, and Ibis Reproductive Health. A roadmap for research on self-managed abortion in the United States. August 2018.
Media coverage and research data show a growing awareness of the option to self-manage (or self-induce or self-source) abortion outside of the formal health care system; we are learning more about people’s experiences with self-managed abortion, and how often people choose this option in the United States. Recent evidence indicates between one and seven percent of abortion patients (see below) have taken or done something to try to end their current pregnancy. In addition, in 2015, there were more than 700,000 Google searches using terms related to self-induced abortion in the United States. The reasons women attempt to self-manage an abortion are varied, but they are often related to barriers accessing clinic-based care, as well as a preference for self-care.

Scottish women retain right to take abortion pills at home
Anti-abortion challenge fails as Westminster urged to follow Holyrood’s example
Libby Brooks, Scotland correspondent
The Scottish government’s decision to allow women to take the abortion pill in their own homes has been upheld following a legal challenge by the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) Scotland.
Doctors welcomed the ruling by the court of session in Edinburgh as “a very significant step forward”, after the anti-abortion campaign group argued that the licensing of the drug misoprostol for home use was “unlawful” and a threat to women’s health and that of their unborn babies.

Circle Square
Howard, Rachel
Rachel Howard plays with the tensions between control and chaos, order and entropy, making and unmaking, beauty and destruction. Working mainly as a painter, she revels in the joy of the material and the intense physicality of her process. Over the past 25 years, religion, repetition, mortality, fragility, uncertainty, madness and violence have been recurring themes in her works. Circle Square, 2015 comes from a series of grid and line paintings. These consist of intricate overlapping lines and disintegrated surfaces, which hint at unstable worlds, entropy and collapse. Howard often displays an irreverence for her material; for example, in the 1990s and early 2000s she used only household gloss paint, wanting to humanise this functional medium used mainly for painting doors and windows. Here, she used gravity as an invisible paintbrush to attain the desired effect, freeing herself from more traditional painting methods and nodding to her heroes, the abstract expressionists of the 1940s and 1950s. The past decade has seen Howard return to oil paint for the first time since her teens and, once more, a desire to use this medium in an obtuse manner.

Associations in Europe
Lymph is the poor relation of scientific research
Pressure groups remain the best weapon in the struggle for recognition of lymphatic malformations and their treatment. We are confronted by the obvious frustration of medical research funding.
Lymph malformations fall under the generic heading of “Lymphangiomas” which affect children and adults of both sexes and all ethnic groups. Their common factor is that they affect the development of the wall of the lymph vessel, affecting both superficial and profound lymph vessels. They are now classified, but cover a multitude of very diverse pathologies, because of their various forms, their degree of severity and in terms of existing possibilities of treatment.
The first step towards further research and more fundamental clinical work requires that health professionals, the general public and policy makers be made much more aware of the problems faced by families and researchers. The rare researchers into these pathologies suffer from a cruel lack of financial funding.
According to the key figures provided by the Alliance for Rare Diseases – a rare illness concerns only one person in 2000 in Europe, affects 3 million people in France, of whom 75% are children and 80% of cases present a genetic origin. The average time for diagnosis takes 4 years!
Late diagnosis or wrong diagnosis, a roaming mission in search of a diagnosis, followed by the rarity of hospital centres for treatment - these are the problems faced by patients with lymphatic malformation. Their struggle means that they suffer additional physical, psychological and social consequences and often feel that no-one is interested in their case. This complex pathology involving the lymph vessels motivates only a few rare researchers and professionals who are dedicated and passionate in their quest to understand the origins and causes of lymph malformation.
This is why we believe that the Lymphangioma Association needs to have an impact on the future of care and treatment of lymph malformation by, for example, raising funds to finance a fundamental research project on lymph and its malformations; also we need to advance the progress of work engaged in clinical research, but also campaign for the recognition of alternative therapies which can enhance and improve the quality of life of the patients.
This means that we have to inform the public at large, the health professionals, the politicians and public bodies in France and throughout Europe. The association campaigns alongside all concerned in order to find solutions for the treatment of Lymphatic Malformation.
"We are counting on your support"
The Lymphangioma Association (L’Association Lymphangiomes – A.M.L.A) unites various partners (including businesses, other associations, individual donors, public figures, politicians and sports personalities), all of whom support our actions and help us to raise funds for research
“It’s better not to treat than to mistreat”
This is the motto of those specialist teams who believe that any surgical intervention should be decided by an entire multidisciplinary team with sufficient experience and knowledge of lymphatic malformations to anticipate any possible consequences which could be serious and irreversible.
What do we mean by MULTIDISCIPLINARY ?
We mean a team composed of all specialities, such as radiologists, ORL specialists, surgeons, dermatologists, gastro-enterologists, pneumologists, psycho-therapists….
Lymphatic malformations are not particularly rare, but their complex forms are both rare and difficult to treat.

Fien Troch
KID is young director Fien Troch's third feature film. Her debut film SOMEONE ELSE'S HAPPINESS was screened in Toronto, Rotterdam, San Sebastian, and Gothenburg amongst others, and has received awards for Best Film, Best Screenplay and Best Actress in Thessaloniki. Her second film UNSPOKEN was shown in Toronto, Rotterdam, and San Sebastian to mention a few and has won Turin's award for Best Leading Actress.
Told through the eyes of Kid, the audience experiences a family tragedy. Seven-year-old Kid can only imagine the background of his single mother’s struggle. When she dies, Kid has to face his fears and the hardships of the world by himself. While still hoping to find his mother, he becomes more and more estranged from his environment.
This film is a simple reminder of what “being a child” really feels like. Kid, though naive and playful, is in the middle of an unfolding tragedy and unwilling to accept losses.

You are at:Home»Camp Pendleton»But will they be running (off) on Dunkin’?
But will they be running (off) on Dunkin’?
By Gidget Fuentes on April 6, 2012 Camp Pendleton, Food, Pop culture
When officials mark the opening of the new and enlarged Marine Corps Exchange at Camp Pendleton, Calif., in early May, they might want to brace for an unusual crowd: Dunkin’ Donuts lovers.
We’re talking coffee and donuts, and muffins and bagels, too.
Dunkin’ Donuts, a Massachusetts-based company, has more than 7,000 restaurants across the country, in 36 states plus the District of Columbia, and there’s even seven overseas. But there’s not a single one in California, a huge state where Starbucks and McDonalds are a dime a dozen. But come May, the state’s first Dunkin’ Donuts eatery will open inside the new MCX.
It’s been more than a decade since the company shuttered its few California shops, putting the nearest Boston Kreme, Powered Cocoa and Spiced Apple donuts in the far reaches across the border – no, not Mexico, although it might as well be – in Nevada and Arizona. Why they did that is just mind-boggling, even in a state that screams healthy and fit but gorges on In-N-Out burgers and burritos.
That gap in time has been agony for throngs of fans, East Coasters mostly, relegated to reminiscing about Dunkin’s Hazelnut coffee and Salt bagels and waiting for the day to travel back East, where a trip to the nearest Dunkin’ Donuts is a required pilgrimage.
But with the new Camp Pendleton store, the 64,000 people who work or live at the base will be the lucky ones able to get their coffee and donut fix daily. At least that’s what the corporate data keepers expect. “We are honored and excited about the opportunity to serve the 64,000 people who live, work and train at the military base and look forward to keeping the Marines running on Dunkin’ with our coffee and snacks,” the Dunkin’ Brands public relations manager, McCall Gosselin, said in a response to questions, picking up the company’s motto of “America runs on Dunkin’.”
Running they will be. At a base with quite a few transplanted East Coasters – including the base commander – and Southerners more familiar with the brand’s sweets, the official grand opening set to run from May 3 to May 6 just might become more of a swarm. A big one. It won’t just be base workers and residents who can access the store, not far from the main gate and Interstate 5, but thousands of military retirees in the region, which itself has a sizeable population.
“This will be off the charts,” predicted Brig. Gen. Vincent Coglianese, the Marine Corps Installations-West commander. The New Jersey native knows: He described his wife as a big Dunkin’ fan. And a recent interview veered off into warm memories of hot coffee and tasty pastries, and anticipation of the “VIP” opening on May 2.
Coglianese expects to see as big a reception to Camp Pendleton’s Dunkin’ Donuts as the Marine Corps has seen at the Camp Lejeune, N.C., store, which reportedly had more business than the Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants outside the base in Jacksonville. The company rep wouldn’t confirm but said there are 25 other Dunkin’ Donuts at U.S. military bases, and service members apparently don’t shy away from its goodies. “The military population is a great audience for us and we are actively looking to develop new Dunkin’ Donuts locations on other military bases,” Gosselin said.
The company’s original announcement that the Camp Pendleton location will be the only site in California had left die-hard Dunkin’ Donuts fans out West thinking: Are they hazelnuts?
But how soon new sites would open isn’t clear. “It will be some time before we consider expanding into California,” said Gosselin. “We recognize there is high demand for Dunkin’ Donuts on the West Coast, as evidenced by the fact that California is the #1 state for sales of our bagged grocery coffee. However, Dunkin’ Donuts is moving westward with focus on disciplined development in contiguous markets that are adjacent to our existing base in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic areas. We will enter the market once our infrastructure is established to meet the demands of our guests.”
Fans anticipate the reaction at Camp Pendleton will be hot. But if the it turns out to be more lukewarm, well, that means there’s just more coffee and donuts for the rest of us.

Poll: Marine Corps still most prestigious military branch
Eric on April 12, 2012 10:56 am
Just what the Marines need is that unhealthy garbage sold at our bases. Look at all the grease or oil seeping outta that bag and on that napkin. When you end up with diabetes or remedial PT from all the sugar and GMO’s and whatever else is hydrogenated in that crap be sure to thank Dunkin Doughnuts and your Base Commanders for setting you up for failure, just so Dunkin Doughnuts and the military can make a profit off your asses. (DISGUSTING)!!!!! Thought the Marine Corps was promoting health and fitness on Base guess I was wrong.

Ya Marines if doughnuts are your thing go to the MOM and Pa Shop in San Clemente off the 5 freeway forgot the offramp CHRISTIANOS or something (SURF “N” doughnuts) there real good and cheap. Fuck those corporate duschbags Dunkin Doughnuts, rather give my Money to one of the few remaining Mom and Pops then to see some Corporate dickheads in a suit and tie getting rich off us while pushing their crap down our throats.

This issue highlights the following significant developments here and in the Middle East:
The US and the rest of the world are closely watching the unrest in Egypt and the Middle East.
The abortion debate is heating up on Capitol Hill as bills to limit access are taken up in the House.
The systematic crumbling of the separation of religion and state violates two clauses in the Bill of Rights.
Senate women, through civility pact, manage to disagree yet still like one another.
A useful chart showing countries in the Middle East with political and demographic information may help explain current tensions and political outcomes.
Remember to check out our blog to keep up with current events, op-eds, reproductive rights information, sort fact from fiction in your inbox about Israel, and Presidential Ponderings - Gail's thoughts and observations.
ISRAEL & THE MIDDLE EAST
Mubarak resigns; hands power to Egyptian military
President Hosni Mubarak resigned Friday and handed power to the Egyptian military, setting off wild celebrations among protesters across the country who had demanded his ouster for the last 18 days.
Israel, Alone Again?
ISRAELIS want to rejoice over the outbreak of protests in Egypt's city squares. They want to believe that this is the Arab world's 1989 moment. Perhaps, they say, the poisonous reflex of blaming the Jewish state for the Middle East's ills will be replaced by an honest self-assessment.
What Israel fears in Egypt
One might expect that Israelis, who live in the only democracy in the Middle East, would turn out in the squares of Jerusalem and the gardens of Tel Aviv to show solidarity with the demonstrators in Egypt. The protesters, after all, are seeking to overthrow an authoritarian regime.
It's never been about Palestine
The anti-Mubarak revolution won't only topple an authoritarian regime. It will also topple 40-plus years of wrong-headed thinking about the causes of Middle East instability among the world's foreign-policy cognoscenti.
Is a Palestinian Statehood in the Near Future a Realistic Proposition?
On December 13, 2010 the European Union's Foreign Affairs Council issues a press release on the subject of its meeting held on the same day to discuss the Middle East Peace Process. The document included the following clause:
No room at table for Muslim Brotherhood
Free and democratic societies take chances. They guarantee freedom of speech and of the press, despite the risk that harmful, foolish, or depraved ideas may be promoted. They require due process of law before an offender can be punished, even though some who are guilty may go free as a result. They give citizens the power to elect their rulers, notwithstanding the possibility that voters will choose officials who are corrupt or incompetent.
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood: In Their Own Words
The Muslim Brotherhood has taken a greater role in organizing the protest against the Egyptian regime as it unfolds its independent political agenda. Rashad al-Bayumi, the Brotherhood's second-in-command, announced in an interview with Japanese TV that the group would join a transitional government in order to cancel the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, as it "offends the Arabs' dignity and destroys the interests of Egypt and other Arab states." He further stressed that Egypt does not need American aid.
Abortion debate heats up on Capitol Hill
A renewed - and heated - debate about abortion is underway one month into a congressional session that largely has devoted its energy to tackling economic issues.
Archaic attitudes in abortion bill
Under pressure from appalled voters, House Republicans have removed the most galling provisions from their "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act'' - the ones that would have changed the legal definition of rape and incest as exceptions to the funding ban. But there is still plenty to dislike about this outmoded bill.
It's Not About Who Pays. It's About Respect
Pro-choice clergy in the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice network are outraged at the lack of respect for women's lives implicit in HR 3 - the deceptively named "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act" introduced by Rep. Chris Smith. The injustice of this bill is appalling. Simply, it fails to acknowledge the worth - in religious terms, the sacredness - of women's lives. In that respect, it is immoral.
Texas Jumps on Anti-Abortion 'Sonogram' Bandwagon on Heels of Scary Ohio 'Heartbeat' Bill
This week, Texas State Senators will consider a barbaric new bill that would force women to look at a sonogram, hear a heartbeat and listen to their doctor's detailed description of the fetus just two hours before receiving their scheduled abortion.
SEPARATION OF RELIGION AND STATE
The Quietly Crumbling Wall of Separation
In his recent RD piece, law professor Bruce Ledewitz does a good job telling the story of the trend toward diminished protections for the free exercise of religion over the past couple of decades of federal jurisprudence. But it's not the whole story.
POLITICAL BYTE
The Koch Brothers' Vast Right-Wing Media Conspiracy
Last June, Glenn Beck paused in the middle of a rant about the economy and climate on his television show for an important, if rather unexpected, aside. "I want to thank Charles Koch for this information," he said.
Senate women's 'civility' pact
It's something you almost never see in Senate politics: one female senator attacking another, even when they're on opposite sides of an issue.
A region on the edge
The source of much of the world's oil, the Middle East has been riled in recent weeks by a surge of protests against entrenched regimes, most notable an uprising against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. (A helpful chart of the countries in the region.)
Battle over Mideast transit ads heating up across U.S.
With public bickering over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict already having spilled over into university student senates, corporate pension boards and even local farmers markets, the latest battlefield in the debate over the conflict is municipal transit systems.
Our members count on JACPAC to provide information on current events, candidates, and elections. JACPAC depends on membership support to make this possible.
If you have not renewed your membership, please consider doing so today, to help us pursue a strong US-Israel relationship, reproductive choice, and separation of religion and state. Together we can make this a better world!

Essays on the MILLENNIUM 2000
LOOKING FOR LEADERSHIP
By MICHAEL ADAMS
By CHRIS WOOD
Maclean's | January 25 1999
Essays on the MILLENNIUM 2000 (1)
Newsroom Notes (1)
Among the more than 80 social trends that my colleagues and I monitor is one we call “apocalyptic anxiety”— the fear that the world is rushing towards some as-yet undefined disaster. This anxiety has grown over the past year, with a sense of impending doom extending from coast to coast. By MICHAEL ADAMS
As a storm raged outside, the constantly ringing phones went unanswered at Environment Canada’s Toronto offices last Thursday. Like many other workplaces in the city, it was shut down—by the worst series of blizzards ever to strike Toronto. By CHRIS WOOD
Your articles on “Canada’s obesity epidemic” were both timely and informative (Cover, Jan. 11). I do feel, however, that among associated health risks, some mention should have been made of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Not all sufferers of those conditions are obese, but a significant majority would be helped by loss of weight.
‘HOMELESSNESS IS FIXABLE'
Timothy B. was taking the storm in stride. Home on this cold, miserable night, which had brought the country’s largest city to an icy halt, was a spot on the floor of the Moss Park Armoury in downtown Toronto, a few blankets for a bed. It was snowing so hard outside that his efforts to make a few bucks by sweeping sidewalks for merchants had failed. By WARREN CARAGATA
Statistics Canada reported that the prevalence of asthma among children under 15 rose to 11.2 per cent in 1994-1995. In 1978-1979, the incidence rate was just 2.5 per cent. Although Stats-Can did not offer any particular cause for the quadrupling in the rate, past studies have pointed to poor indoor air quality due to energy-efficient, airtight homes that trap mould, chemical fumes, dust mites and cigarette smoke.
The ranting 'redneck'
In his heyday as founder and editor-in-chief of the feisty, ultra-conservative Alberta Report newsmagazine, Ted Byfield was famous for his newsroom rants and rages. As deadlines approached, he would pace the floor, railing at editors to get their copy in on time. By BRIAN BERGMAN
A SHOCK DOWN THE LINE
Chris King expected to spend the afternoon talking wages and benefits when she sat down for a union-management bargaining session at a downtown Montreal hotel on Jan. 11. King, a Bell Canada operator from Windsor, Ont., was part of a 15-member team negotiating a new contract for 2,400 unionized operators employed by the Montrealbased telecommunications giant. By D’ARCY JENISH
Raising the stakes over magazines
Ask a Canadian government official to justify the proposed federal law designed to protect Canadian magazine publishers, and the answer often rises to lofty rhetoric about “Canadian voices telling Canadian stories.” Ask Richard Fisher, the second-highest-ranking American trade negotiator, why he is leading the fight against the Canadian law, and he also claims the high ground: of “upholding a significant principle.” By JOHN GEDDES

London Street Fighter IV Ranking Battles Season 1 (relocated) March 15, 2009
Yates's, Harrow
269-271 Station Rd
Harrow, Middlesex, England HA1 2TB
SF IV Ranking Battles will no longer take place at Gamerbase.
They will now take place on Sundays at 3PM at Yates in Harrow.
Due to the incredible number of people that attended our Gamerbase events over the last two weeks, we regret to inform you that we are no longer able to continue hosting events at Gamerbase. Trocadero and HMV security staff members raised a number of concerns and there was no viable workaround that would have satisfied both Neo Empire and both security teams.
But fear not, because the show WILL go on. We have decided to move the day of the Ranking Battle to Sunday, and the location to Yates in Harrow, where many of our previous tournaments and events have taken place.
In addition to try and apologise to you guys for having to make you come so far to play, it now costs just £2 to enter the venue. That lets you play casuals AND in the tournament.
We would like to sincerely apologise to everyone for the short notice of this announcement, but please try to understand that there was literally no other option available to us at such short notice. We will be continuing discussions with a number of parties to see if we can revive the possibility of a Central London location, but in the mean time, our hand has been forced.
Now whilst this may initially sound like bad news, if you really think about it, it really isn't. Here are just a number of reasons why moving to Yates is actually BETTER for our event than staying at Gamerbase:
More setups (including PS3 setups!) allowing more people to play, both in the tournament and causally!
NO MORE CAPPING!!! If 150 people turn up to play, 150 people enter the tournament!
More games! Although SF IV will make up 90% of the setups on show, we'll throw in a few PS2's with 3S, Guilty Gear, CvS2, whatever you want into the mix.
It's at a Pub! Food and Drink available all day long!
Plenty of spaces to park in the nearby vicinity!
So really the only issue is the location, which we will admit, is that Yates is not the most convenient place to get to.
However, if you want to level up and get better at Street Fighter IV, our events are THE place to be. Aside from moving to Japan for a year, nothing will improve your game faster than playing the best players in London, if not the UK, in a tournament environment on a regular basis.
So come on community, you have been FANTASTIC so far with the level of support shown at Gamerbase SF IV RB's. Let's keep the momentum going and keep the good vibes and good times rolling at Yates.
FYI, the venue will open at 3PM, with the Ranking Battle kicking off at 4PM. The event will close at 8PM.
Date: Sunday, 8th March 2009
Entry: £2
Venue: Yates's Harrow / 269-271, Station Rd, Harrow, Middlesex, HA1 2TB
No under 16's, no alcohol to under 18's.
No outside food or drink is permitted.
Anyone who does bring food or drink into the venue will be removed
Purchasing alcohol, if you look young please bring photo ID
Passport or driving licence only.
Game: Street Fighter IV Xbox 360 Pal
Format: Single Elimination. Top 8 players from current RB points are seeded.
Prizes: Top 3 Players receive 60 / 30 / 10 % split of total pot. Pot depends on number of attendees.
TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION CLOSES AT 3.45PM!

Stars explained: * A production of no real merit with failings in all areas. ** A production showing evidence of not enough time or effort, or even talent, and which never breathes any real life into the piece – or a show lumbered with a terrible script. *** A good enjoyable show which might have some small flaws but has largely achieved what it set out to do.**** An excellent show which shows a great deal of work and stage craft with no noticeable or major flaws.***** A four star show which has found that extra bit of magic which lifts theatre to another plane.

Marriages can be funny things
Sutton Arts Theatre
Ray Cooney's Run for Your Wife is one of the most successful stage farces of modern times, guaranteed to have an audience, and so it proved at a packed Sutton Arts Theatre.
First performed in 1983, producer Barrie Atchison presents it in contemporary style, rather than as a period piece. So leg warmers are out, and Charles and Camilla are in.
The script is not without its challenges for a modern production. The adult content is relatively tame, but attitudes to homosexuality, which are key to much of the humour, are very different now to thirty years ago.
Back then, the memory of Jeremy Thorpe's public ruination by homosexual allegations was fresh, now, no government front bench can be without gender, sexual and ethnic diversity.
Thus the casual prejudices of the past no longer have the same comic value. The failure of last year's film version highlights the dangers, but under the skillful direction of Atchison the carefully crafted comedy is polished and vibrant.
The tale is of London cab driver John Smith, with two wives, two lives, and a very precise schedule for juggling them both. He has one wife at home in Streatham, and another at home in Wimbledon, with occupants of the flat upstairs at both locations. So the stage is set.
HOPELESSLY ENTANGLED
Trouble brews when Smith is attacked, ending up in hospital. Both of his addresses surface, causing both the Streatham and Wimbledon police to investigate. Having upset his schedule, Smith becomes hopelessly entangled in his attempts, with his unemployed neighbour upstairs in Wimbledon, to explain himself to his wives, two suspicious police officers, and a gay couple upstairs in Streatham to confuse matters.
The split single set works well offering a comedic potential which is fully realised.
Richard Cogzel plays bigamist John Smith as a confused, bemused, wide-eyed observer of his own downfall, powerless to prevent events conspiring as his increasingly desperate explanations founder.
His two wives are a nice contrast. Rachel Duncan plays Mary, whose solution to most things is in the kitchen; Lin Tran plays Barbera, whose solution to most things is in the bedroom. The former favours sensible non-matching underwear, the latter sports stockings, suspenders and vertiginous red high heels.
Duncan’s quiet hysteria is well pitched and amusing, Tran's sassy sex appeal is wholly convincing. Neighbour and unwitting accomplice Stanley Gardener is well handled by Dave Douglas as he is transformed from louche layabout to reluctant gay consort.
Trying to make sense of the confusion are two detectives who offer the best performances of the night. Dan Payne's bluff and incredulous DS Troughton is a delight, Stuart Goodwin's well intentioned, but not so worldly-wise DS Porterhouse, is the perfect foil.
Richard Hamm has the difficult task of playing Bobby Franklin, the gay neighbour. Steeped in caricature drafted in another era. Hamm chooses a Louis Spence style persona whose rough edges are smoothed by the energy and brio of his performance.
Farces require plenty of movement, lots of doors opening and closing, and plenty of physical comedy. Atchison's production delivers this in some style. Although the first half of the night took a little while to warm up, by the end, the laughter was constant, clothes were off and a brilliantly handled confessional finale with all protagonists on stage was a satisfying end to a very enjoyable night.

The Breaking Wave sculpture is now part of Burning Man history.
After months of planning, preparation and wood gathering, the Wave was assembled and built in two nights on the playa. Since the daytime temperatures hovered around 100 degreesF. with blowing dust, we chose to work from sundown to sunrise using portable halogen lights.
The sculpture weighed approximately two tons when completed, 16 feet high, 20 feet long and 10 feet wide. The construction of the 10 support trusses and 5 box foundation frames took about 48 hours to construct at our home base, in Squamish British Columbia, Canada, about two months before Burning Man. On the playa the support trusses were erected on the base frames and then about 5,000 pieces of drift lumber of a wide range of sizes were screwed to the trusses. The Breaking Wave Team, with helpers, spun LED strip lighting and an array of strobes through the structure which delivered an amazing effect at night, powered by a generator we positioned about 150′ away from the sculpture.
The Breaking Wave stood for three days August 27 to 29, just off the Esplanade, at approximately the 4:00 entrance to Black Rock City. We burned the Sculpture on Wednesday midnight in a brief and very hot conflagration watched by several thousand people. Feedback from the Burning Man Organization indicated our presentation of the art and the burn were perfect regarding execution, fire safety, and cleanup.
The core members of the crew in alphabetical order were Kevin Curry, James Deane, Mike Hattingh, Jason Malo and Ron Simmer, with much appreciated help from Amber, Brandon, BT, Curtis, Greg, Jessica, Lilli, Ryan, Matthew, Percilla , Yvonne , Vertumnus and many other volunteers from Washington and Oregon. Ryan McCann of Documonkey TV has produced a Breaking Wave video documentary. The Breaking Wave project received no cash honorarium from the BM Org., and was financed in part by the art crew through fundraising efforts. We did receive grants from the Greater Vancouver Interactive Arts Society, while several of the crew made sizable personal expenditures in the thousands of dollars. All of the crew were motivated by their determination to deliver an outstanding art piece to the Burning Man Festival. The logistical problems in collecting and transporting such a large volume of wood were crushing but the crew came together and built a unique and amazing work of art. It is part of the Burning Man legend as a statement against ocean pollution.
The Breaking Wave sculpture created for Burning Man was inspired by the classic Great Wave of Kanagawa by Japanese painter Hokusai. We tried to capture and embody the image of Hokusai`s wave as a giant attacking claw. Mariners have always feared breaking waves as a sign of dangerous sea states or deadly shoals; the sculpture was intended as a tribute to those who lost their lives in the Japanese Tsunami of 2011.

Affordable Housing Insurance
School Board Legal Liability (SBLL)
School Foundation Insurance
Treasurer's Bonds
Illinois School District Treasurer's Bonds
Special Purpose (Surety) Bonds
Created for Illinois School Districts
Accepted by ISBE
One of the most important elements of managing a successful school district budget is to have all of the necessary components to make the system work. At Brokers' Risk, we can provide you with an important component - a School Treasurer's Bond.
Illinois school code requires school districts to provide a Treasurer's Bond covering their school treasurer for an amount of money determined by the State Legislature (see following for details).
Treasurer's Bonds Specifically Created for Illinois School Districts
The Illinois School Code, Article 8, Section 8-2 [105 ILCS 5/8-2], provides that "each school treasurer shall execute a bond," payable either to township trustees or "the school board of each district for which he or she is treasurer or its successors in office." "The penalty of the bond shall be 25% of the amount of all bonds, notes, mortgages, moneys and effects of which he [or she] is to have the custody," and "shall be increased or decreased from time to time, as the increase or decrease of the amount of notes, bonds, mortgages, moneys and effects may require, and whenever in the judgment of the regional superintendent of schools," the township trustees, "or the school board of the district by which the school treasurer was appointed or elected, the penalty of the bond should be increased or decreased; provided that the penalty of the bond shall not be increased to more than 25% of the amount of all bonds, notes, mortgages, moneys and effects of which the treasurer has custody at any time." P.A. 91-357, eff. 7-29-99.
School District Bond Highlights:
Up to $31.25 million of protection available
Higher limits are considered on a case by case basis
Bonds meet government requirements
Bonds are accepted by the Illinois State Board of Education
Bonds are offered at very competitive rates
Our underwriting staff provides professional and timely service
Special Purpose bonds available include life safety, working cash, and new construction
Bonds for Other Purposes ("Special Purpose Bonds")
Many school districts may borrow money for the purpose of building, equipping, altering or repairing school buildings or purchasing or improving school sites, or acquiring and equipping playgrounds, recreation grounds, athletic fields, and other buildings or land used or useful for school purposes or for the purpose of purchasing a site, with or without a building or buildings thereon. Surety bonds are required for these purposes and Brokers' Risk offers such bonds which we refer to as "Special Purpose Bonds." In addition Brokers' Risk provides special purpose bonds for the handling of special funds such as new construction, life safety and working cash. Like our School Treasurer's Bonds, Brokers' Risk Special Purpose Bonds are often at a 40% discount as compared to our competition.
Service From an Industry Leader
Since 1982, Brokers' Risk has enjoyed a strong relationship with the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) . Brokers' Risk treasurers' bonds are sponsored by the IASB, and have been accepted by the Illinois State Board of Education, Regional Superintendents, and township trustees.

Hyderabad police encounter : More details about the incident
By jegan-ravichandran | December 6, 2019
According to the reports the accused had been taken to the crime scene on Thursday to collect evidence of the crime.
On Friday morning the encounter reports surfaced. It appears that while the police tried to collect evidence the accused tried to run away. As per the Telangana media reports the police fired back when the accused tried to hurt them. Two police men were injured. The accused were shot in the same place where Disha’s (name changed) body was burnt after she was gang raped and murdered. The accused were taken to the crime scene at chatanpally, nearly 50km away from Hyderabad, on Thursday to collect evidence of the crime.
DGP Prakash Reddy, who is at the scene of the incident, told media this morning that there was cross fire as the accused took the guns of policemen and attempted to escape. On Wednesday, the Shadnagar court had remanded the four accused to seven days police custody. The court had granted a seven day police custody of the accused.
The gang who were driving a lorry had trapped her by puncturing one of the tyres of her two wheeler which she had parked near the toll gate. They approached her pretending to help and forcibly took her and murdered. However the response to the encounter was mostly welcoming by the public. People celebrated the news saying “Justice served” and tweeted about the incident on twitter from early morning.
But few intellectual and journalist on social media were unhappy and said no one should take the law on their hands. Also they raised a question that what if they weren’t guilty?
Krishnakumar says:
On the face of it, this appears to be serious mistake by the police personnel. Considering the serious nature of the crime comitted by the accused, they deserve such punishment
Anirban Rongpi says:
The police did a gr8 job, giving justice to the girl & her family members. What I couldn’t digest is the fact that the whole situation looks filmy to me, just like Simmba movie. Why would the suspects run in the first place, when they’re already apprehanded. And the encounter seems more like a policeman suggested to kill the suspects just like in the movie. After all who would find out the truth. In short justice served too soon has pros & cons.

US Deputy Secretary of State Williams Burns will join talks between Iran, the U.S. and European Union in Vienna on Monday, US officials said.
Burns was seen on the plane Sunday traveling with the US delegation, led by Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, to Vienna. He and Sherman are expected to meet Monday with Iranian and European Union negotiators. Sherman will stay on for nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 expected to go til Friday, as efforts intensify to reach a final nuclear accord by July 20.
“We’re at a critical point in these negotiations, and we’re going to work as hard as we possibly can to see if we can get to an agreement here,” a senior U.S. Administration official told Al-Monitor Monday. “Deputy Burns will be joining for meetings on the 16th, including an expected trilateral with Iran and the EU.”
“We’ve always said our diplomatic efforts would continue to intensify, and they have,” the US official said. “This is another example of that effort. And we’ve been clear that various members of our negotiating team – especially the Deputy, given his history working on this issue with the Iranians – will participate in various meetings throughout this process.”
Burns previously led secret US bilateral talks with Iran last fall. But last week the State Department announced that he and Sherman were co-leading the US team to bilateral talks with Iran in Geneva in order to break what reportedly has been a deadlock in the negotiations.
As negotiators intensify efforts to reach a final nuclear accord by July 20, the US bilateral and P5+1 nuclear negotiating teams seem to have merged, and the US Iran contacts on a nuclear deal become less secret. The US will also this week open contacts with Iran about the security crisis in Iraq, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Burns, when he traveled to Oman for secret nuclear talks with Iran last year, reportedly traveled on an unmarked US government plane. But he, Sherman and their team were seen Sunday at the Washington Dulles airport business lounge awaiting their flight to Vienna, with no apparent attempt at hiding his presence.

US Special Envoy for International Energy Affairs Carlos Pascual announced Friday he will step down in July, U.S. officials told the Back Channel.
The departure plans come as oil proces have spiked amid the new security crisis in Iraq, as al Qaeda-linked the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) overtook the city of Mosul.
Pascual, a former US envoy to Mexico and Ukraine, stood up the new energy affairs bureau three years ago, but was never confirmed. He is expected to head next to Columbia University.
Pascual’s deputy Amos Hochstein is considered a possible nominee to succeed him.

Washington, D.C.__ U.S. and Iranian nuclear negotiators have held two days of “intensive.. useful” talks, but gaps still remain, Iranian officials said Tuesday.
The talks, lasting 12 hours over two days in Geneva, were “intensive…but useful,” and “held in a good atmosphere,” an Iranian diplomat told Al-Monitor after talks ended Tuesday. “Gaps are still there. Consultations will continue.”
The US-Iran meetings “were business-like, and we covered all the issues that we have been discussing so far in Vienna,” a second Iranian official, speaking not for attribution, told Al-Monitor Tuesday. “The exchange helped us better understand each others’ positions.”
“After these meetings in Geneva and bilateral meetings with the French, Russians and the Germans in the next few days, we hope we will be better prepared to start the talks next week in Vienna,” the second Iranian official said.
Iranian negotiators are due to hold a bilateral meeting with French counterparts in Geneva on Wednesday, and with Russia in Rome on Thursday and Friday. Iran will hold a bilateral meeting with Germany’s political director in Tehran Sunday, ahead of the next round of final deal talks between Iran and the P5+1 in Vienna June 16-20.
The US delegation to Geneva, led by Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns and Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, has not yet publicly commented on the bilateral consultations with Iran, which were held at an undisclosed location. (Journalists in Geneva said they believed the talks were being held at Geneva’s President Wilson hotel, where the US delegation was thought to be staying, but the hotel would not confirm that.)
State Department and European Union spokespeople stressed that the series of bilateral meetings underway this week were all in support of the comprehensive deal negotiations being carried out by the P5+1 under the coordination of EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton. The talks are now intensifying, they said, as the parties aim to see if they can reach a final accord by July 20, when a six month interim deal expires, or will need to be extended for up to another six months.
“The E3/EU+3’s diplomatic efforts to reach a comprehensive solution are now intensifying,” Michael Mann, Ashton’s spokesman, told Al-Monitor Tuesday. “They have always taken place at different levels and in different formats and included bilateral meetings in support of the central E3/EU+3 nuclear negotiations led by [High Representative] Ashton.”
“We’ve always said that we would engage the Iranians bilaterally if it can help advance our efforts, of course acting in total coordination with the P5+1 and the EU,” State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf told journalists at the State Department press briefing Monday.
“We also said that there was going to be an intensification of diplomatic efforts, particularly getting closer to July 20th,” Harf said “If we’re going to seriously test whether we can reach a diplomatic solution here, we need to engage in as much active diplomacy as possible.”
Meantime, France’s foreign minister Laurent Fabius said Tuesday that it would be hard to close wide gaps over the size of Iran enrichment capacity in a final deal by next month.
“We are still hitting a wall on one absolutely fundamental point which is the number of centrifuges which allow enrichment,” Fabius told France Inter radio Tuesday, Reuters reported. “We say that there can be a few hundred centrifuges, but the Iranians want thousands so we’re not in the same framework.”
The timing of Fabius’ public comments, as the US held the first lengthy, one on one talks with Iran since last year, raised some eyebrows in Washington.
Asked about them, State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said Tuesday the focus should remain on the “behind the scenes” talks, not “public demands.”
“Subconsciously, [Fabius] hates when [the] US-Iran meet bilaterally for the usual French reasons,” Jeremy Shapiro, a Brookings fellow in foreign policy studies, told Al-Monitor. “More consciously, he doesn’t trust the US as negotiators and believes he plays an important role in shoring them up and ensuring that they don’t give away the store.”
France’s new political director Nicolas de Riviere will take part in bilateral discussions with Iranian negotiators in Geneva on Wednesday, Araghchi told Iran’s IRNA news agency.

US Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns and Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman will lead a US delegation to meet with Iranian nuclear negotiators in Geneva on June 9-10, US and Iranian officials said Saturday.
The bilateral meetings come as negotiators intensify efforts to see if they can reach a final nuclear accord by July 20, when a six month interim deal expires, or if they will need to extend the talks for another six months.
“We believe we need to engage in as much active diplomacy as we can to test whether we can reach a diplomatic solution with Iran on its nuclear program,” a senior U.S. administration official said Saturday, noting that the US-Iran consultations “come at an important juncture” of the negotiations, as the “talks are intensifying.”
The meetings are taking place “in the context of the intensified E3/EU+3 negotiating process,” and are coordinated by European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, her spokesman Michael Mann said Saturday. Ashton’s deputy, EU political director Helga Schmid will join the US Iran consultations in Geneva, he said, and other bilaterals will follow in the next days.
The US delegation will include, in addition to Burns and Sherman, Vice President Biden’s national security advisor Jake Sullivan, deputy US negotiator Amb. Brooke Amderson, senior arms control advisor Jim Timbie, and NSC senior Middle East advisor Rob Malley, among others, a State Department official told Al-Monitor.
Iran will hold separate meetings with Russian negotiators in Rome on June 11-12, Iran’s IRNA news agency reported Saturday.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday announced that Iran would hold bilateral meetings at the deputy foreign minister level ahead of the next P5+1 Iran nuclear talks, due to be held in Vienna June 16-20.
Burns led a secret US diplomatic “back channel” to Iran last year that culminated in the signing of the interim nuclear deal, known as the Joint Plan of Action, in Geneva last November. Burns’ secret team included Sullivan as well as then NSC Persian Gulf advisor Puneet Talwar, now assistant secretary of state for political military affairs, who has been succeeded by Malley. Burns has announced he will retire in October. The EU’s Ashton, the lead international negotiator for the six world powers, is also due to finish her term in October, adding impetus to complete the negotiations by then.
Until now, the US and Iran have not pursued the bilateral channel to advance final deal talks this year, outside of meetings on the sidelines of the P5+1 Iran negotiations in Vienna, US and Iranian officials have said. Notably, unlike the secret US-Iran meetings held in Oman, Geneva and New York last year, the US-Iran meeting in Geneva Monday was announced by both sides.
US officials said Saturday it made sense to bring the bilateral channel negotiators involved in advancing the interim deal last fall into the discussions at this critical time.
“It’s natural for Bill and Jake to join the delegation for this meeting given their history of negotiating with Iran during the Joint Plan of Action talks,” the US official said, referring to Burns and Sullivan. “The elements now under discussion in our negotiations over a comprehensive solution were part of the JPOA. So it just makes sense.”
“If a deal is going to be possible by July 20, the Americans and Iranians have to get down to real, no-kidding bottom lines now, and then go back to the P5+1 with the broad outlines of the deal,” former top Pentagon Middle East advisor Colin Kahl told Al-Monitor Saturday. “These bilateral talks will probably determine whether a July 20 agreement is possible or whether we need to work out an extension.”
“The Iranians, in particular, need to come back with much more flexibility on enrichment, and the U.S. team will also need some creative ideas to address Iran’s ‘practical needs’ argument,” Kahl, now a professor at Georgetown University and senior fellow at the Center for New American Security (CNAS), said, referring to the amount of enrichment capacity Iran will need to fuel power reactors and produce medical isotopes.
Iran, in turn, is concerned about the pace of sanctions relief in a final deal, and has balked at a P5+1 proposal that would unwind sanctions on a phased, step by step basis, over as long as a decade or two. Iran also wants to limit the amount of time it would be required to submit to highly intrusive inspections and transparency measures that it fears could be abused by adversaries to snoop on its defense capabilities.
“The addition of Burns and Sullivan, who were essential to the success of behind-the-scenes diplomacy last year, and the bilateral nature of the talks suggests something may be up,” a former senior U.S. official told Al-Monitor Saturday.
“Together with recent news that [Iran Supreme Leader] Khameini is telling hardline critics to get in line behind Iran’s negotiating team, it seems to suggest that negotiations are entering a very serious phase,” the former American official said.

France gets new Iran negotiator
When six world powers and Iran next hold nuclear talks in Vienna June 16th, France will have a new top negotiator.
France’s longtime lead negotiator, political director Jacques Audibert, was tapped in May to head the French Presidential (Elysee) diplomatic office on G-7/G-8 and multilateral issues.
France’s new political director and top negotiator at the P5+1 talks with Iran will be Nicolas de Rivière, who most recently served as France’s assistant secretary of UN affairs. De Riviere previously served as France’s deputy permanent representative at the UN in NY, among other diplomatic assignments.
The switch in France’s Iran team is not the only personnel change on the horizon, as negotiators seek to reach a final Iran nuclear accord by July 20, when a six month interim deal expires. European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton is due to step down in October. US Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns, who led a US diplomatic “back channel” to Iran last year, has also announced he will retire in October.
Technical experts from the P5+1 and Iran began meeting in Vienna Wednesday for two days of expert level talks (June 5-6).
Meantime, lead US Iran nuclear negotiator, Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, is in Brussels Wednesday as part of President Obama’s delegation to the G-7 Leaders’ Summit, the State Department said.
US officials say they are working to try to reach a final deal by July 20th. “We are working towards the July 20th date, and we believe we can meet that date,” State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf told Al-Monitor Monday.
But one western diplomat from a member of the six negotiating powers told Al-Monitor Wednesday that he thinks an extension is probably likely to be needed.
“The end of July comes very, very soon,” the western diplomat, speaking not for attribution, told Al-Monitor Wednesday. “We definitely prefer to have a strong, clear, sustainable long-term agreement, even if we need a few months more, than what would be considered as an insufficiently good…agreement in the next six weeks.”
The western diplomat described the final deal talks to date as “serious” and delving deeply into the details. But the last round of talks in Vienna in May, while “serious,” were “also difficult,” he said. “We still have wide differences on some of the fundamentals of the talks, including mainly Arak and uranium enrichment capacity.”
The Iranians “have to make a clear political choice, which is really a kind of prerequisite for a long-term and sustainable agreement,” the diplomat said.

Ex envoy Ford says could not defend US Syria policy
Recently retired US Syria envoy Robert Ford told CNN Tuesday that he resigned because he could not defend US policy on Syria.
“I was no longer in a position where I felt I could defend American policy,” former US Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour Tuesday.
“We have been unable to address either the root causes of the conflict in terms of the fighting…and the balance on the ground, and we have a growing extremism threat,” said Ford, who resigned in March from the State Department after a three decade diplomatic career.
There is “nothing we can point to that has been very successful to in our policy except the removal of about 93% of some of Assad’s chemicals, but now he is using chlorine gas against his opponents,” Ford said. “The regime simply has no credibility, and our policy is not addressing the Syrian crisis as it needs to.”
Of the growing extremism threat from Syria, Ford said that he and unspecified colleagues had warned more than two years ago that Syria would prove fertile ground for terrorists.
“We warned even as long as two years ago that terrorist groups would go into that vacuum, as we had seen in places like Afghanistan and Somalia and Yemen and Mali,” Ford said. “This is not rocket science.”
Ford said Tuesday that increased US support earlier on in the conflict to moderate Syrian opposition forces could have helped prevent extremists from getting such a big foothold in Syria. And he cast doubt on whether the increased efforts President Obama seemed to be considering ahead of his foreign policy speech at West Point last week would be enough.
“It’s not clear to me yet if they are prepared to ramp up (assistance) in a such a way that would be meaningful on the ground and that’s what matters,” Ford told PBS’s Margaret Warner in a separate interview Tuesday.
Ford, until his retirement one of the State Department’s top Arabists who previously served as US Ambassador to Algeria and deputy US Ambassador to Iraq, is slated to join the Middle East Institute as a senior fellow. He could not immediately be reached Tuesday.
Ford is hardly the first Syria mediator to quit in frustration. UN/Arab League Syria envoy Lakhdar Brahimi resigned last month, as did his predecessor Kofi Annan before him. Former US envoy on Syria transition issues Frederic Hof, who quit in 2012, has also become an outspoken critic of US Syria policy.
As to why Ford had not previously voiced such criticisms in the three months since he resigned, Hof noted in March that Ford was still on the government payroll and required to adhere to official policy and talking points. Ford “will likely speak out when he is free to do so,” Hof, now at the Atlantic Council, wrote.
“For quite some time, the only things keeping Robert in harness were Secretary Kerry’s pleas and Robert’s hope that Kerry could change the policy,” a former diplomat, speaking not for attribution, told the Back Channel Tuesday. “In the end he concluded he could no longer serve as apologist-in-chief for a rhetoric-based policy fundamentally unaligned with ground truth in Syria.”
Meantime, in Syria Tuesday, Bashar al-Assad was expected to be declared the winner in presidential polls being run in government-held parts of the country, in elections that the US and western nations have condemned as farcical and illegitimate. Iran, Russia and North Korea have reportedly sent observers to the polls to try to bolster the appearance of legitimacy.

Updated: U.S. denies mulling extension on Iran talks
Updated 7/2:
Washington, D.C. __ The US on Monday denied that it is signaling that it is prepared to have to extend Iran nuclear talks into the fall if Iran does not return to the table with more realistic proposals including on the centrifuge capacity it could be expected to have in a final deal.
A senior US administration official, briefing small groups of Washington experts in recent days, has been downbeat about prospects for reaching a final deal by July 20, Al-Monitor reported Sunday, citing sources briefed by the official. One expert, speaking not for attribution, was left with the impression that the senior U.S. official “didn’t think it would get done.”
Update: “The United States is not signaling that we are prepared to extend the Iran nuclear negotiations, period,” State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf told Al-Monitor Monday. “We are working towards the July 20th date, and we believe we can meet that date.”
“Of course, Iran will have to make tough decisions and the administration remains clear that no deal is better than a bad deal,” Harf said.
“We are not there yet,” however, a US official told Al-Monitor Friday, about whether the administration thought it would require an extension.
The US needs to determine “whether we see a mindset [from Iran] that is more realistic about what the outcome will have to be here,” the U.S. administration official told Al Monitor Friday. “We are not just waiting for a response…. There are discussions.”
Experts from Iran and the P5+1 are due to hold technical talks in Vienna next week (June 5-6) on the sidelines of an IAEA board of governors meeting. The P5+1 and Iran are scheduled to hold the next round of final deal talks in Vienna on June 16-20.
With less than two months to go ‘til a July 20 expiration of an interim Iran nuclear deal, the US and Iran are not yet pursuing parallel bilateral meetings to narrow wide differences for a nuclear deal, US and Iranian sources tell Al-Monitor. That may be because the US and P5+1 believe that Iran is going to have to do most of the modifying, particularly on enrichment capacity, if a final deal is to be reached, US experts recently briefed by Obama administration officials tell Al-Monitor.
“The Iranians know what the bottom line is,” Suzanne Maloney, a former State Department Iran expert now at the Brookings Institution, told Al-Monitor Friday. “This will not be a case of meeting in the middle.”
“It will be difficult for the powers to reach an agreement with Iran by the deadline of July 20,” Robert Einhorn, a former top US Iran arms control advisor, told Israel’s Ynetnew.com Sunday. “The last round of talks didn’t amount to expectations. There was hope that some main issues would be solved, like the issue of the reactor in Arak…but that didn’t happen.”
“My assessment is that when faced with the alternative of ending the talks, the two sides will agree to extend them,” Einhorn, now with the Brookings Institution, told Ynet.
“The odds of success are still long,” President Obama told graduating West Point cadets Wednesday, referring to a comprehensive Iran nuclear deal. “But for the first time in a decade, we have a very real chance of achieving a breakthrough agreement — one that is more effective and durable than what we could have achieved through the use of force. “
The American side and the P5+1 “had sticker shock at what the Iranians came in on in Vienna,” Patrick Clawson, deputy director of research at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told Al-Monitor Friday, referring to the Iranian proposal for the amount of centrifuges it would like to have in a final deal at the last round of talks in Vienna in May.
The Iranians seemed to have “the impression that the P5+1 was desperate for a deal, but it’s actually not true,” Clawson said. “Therefore they [the US and P5+1] are prepared to let the Iranians” stew in the impasse for now, and may not be rushing to send the bilat team to meet with them to try to narrow positions.
“There will be no final nuclear deal without direct US and Iran bilateral talks,” former Iranian nuclear negotiator Seyed Hossein Mousavian told an audience at the New America Foundation in New York last week.
The U.S. may yet pursue face to face meetings with Iran at a future point in the negotiations, U.S. sources told Al-Monitor, but hasn’t to date this year done so, outside of those meetings that have taken place on the sidelines of the P5+1 Iran talks.
Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Sunday that he would not be able to attend a June 18 meeting of Organization of Islamic States foreign ministers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia due to the Iran P5+1 nuclear talks previously scheduled to be held in Vienna June 16-20, Iranian media reported.

Facilitating Funds for Women
All the managers of the municipal Women’s Rooms and representatives of the Governor’s office in Kakheti region attended a training on Business Plan Writing and Fundraising held by the Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA) with ALCP facilitation. For three days George Turkia and Nikoloz Abuashvili, full professors of GIPA, explained how to transform ideas into real plans and where to find the money for them.
‘This was the most interesting training I have ever had. A lot of women are coming to my room with business ideas but I cannot provide help because of lack of knowledge. Now I am full of enthusiasm and ready to help them. It is also important for me that helping women with starting businesses in rural areas will be supported by the local government through the Women’s Room. We will make it happen’ – Bela Marukashvili, the Women’s Room Manager in Akhmeta municipality.
Background information: Twenty-eight municipalities of Ajara, Kvemo Kartli, Samtskhe-Javakheti and Kakheti have established free information-consultation spaces - Women’s Rooms to support women’s equal participation at local decision making fora and their economic empowerment. In 2016 the Women’s Rooms in Ajara pioneered to help rural women with applying to the government grant programmes and after a year the model was copied by Kvemo Kartli and Samtskhe-Javakheti as well. To date 88 women business start-ups have been funded through the Women’s Rooms in Georgia.
Farmer Groups: Why We Love Them and When They are Successful
From the ISET Economist news (http://www.iset.ge/news/?p=3311)
By Eric Livny
(Summary of a debate hosted by ISET as part of SDC-supported Inclusive Growth Dialog series.)
There are many reasons to love the concept of farmer cooperation (and cooperation more generally). To begin with, there is a great aesthetic value in seeing people coming together, sharing resources and helping each other. After all, instinctive collectivism was the basic condition of human existence from time immemorial. But, there are also powerful economic reasons for farmer cooperation.
Farmer Groups: Why We Love Them, Why We Do Them and Why They Fail
By Tim Stewart
As Georgia embarks on an ambitious program to develop farmer organizations, it is worth considering both the positive and negative lessons from the experience of similar initiatives, both in Georgia and elsewhere in the developing/transition context. The piece by Tim Stewart, originally published on www.springfieldcentre.com, identifies some of the main reasons for the failure of start-up farmer organizations. The challenge for Georgia is to learn from these mistakes in planning and implementation, and ensure improved coordination among the many cooks involved (the newly created Agency for the Development of Agricultural Cooperatives, the Ministry of Agriculture, international donors, NGOs, and farmer associations).
Women of Kvemo Kartli
Publishing the following series of stories is an attempt to highlight the ethnic diversity of Kvemo Kartli. We are going to tell you the stories of five women living in various parts of Kvemo Kartli; these women have different lifestyles and represent different cultures, but they still have a lot in common. This is their history in stories. Stories of work, endurance, taboos, restriction, dignity, honesty and womanhood. You will not see figures and percentages here; this is not a quantitative survey. These are stories that allow us to build on those figures and percentages and enable us to develop profiles of Ajarian, Svan, Azeri, Armenian, Greek and local Georgian women’s lives, to understand their complexities and areas of commonality and to reflect this in our work as a programme.
Kvemo Kartli is one of the most ethnically diverse regions of Georgia. Ethnic diversity has developed over centuries and many contrasts and cultural differences have accumulated in this region; the study and management of these contrasts and differences and the development of models for peaceful cohabitation is not an easy task. Cultural, ethnic and language differences can be seen in every detail of life. Differences are present in rural and urban areas, in highlands and lowlands, in methods of doing business. Our objective in recording these stories was to attempt to create a profile of these women, to listen to them and build the picture of their lives, to understand the effects that culture and ethnic origin have on their lives, to see what opportunities they have and how they use or fail to use these opportunities, if they have them at all.

Armenians have been living in Kvemo Kartli for centuries. According to the 2002 census 31,777 out of 497,530 Kvemo Kartli residents were Armenians. The number of Armenians is highest in Tsalka where 11,484 Armenians live, out of a total population of 20977. The advent of Armenians in Georgia was related to the movement of people during the Arab, Turk-Seljuk, Mongolian, Turkmen, Kizilbash, Ottoman Turk and other invasions. Several major settlements of Armenians took place in 1828-1829, during the Russian-Turkish war
Pikria, Phanura and Other Women from Kamarlo
Azerbaijanis living in Kvemo Kartli are Turkic-speaking people representing the legacy of the conquerors that came to this area at different times. in the 1926 Census they were referred to as Azerbaijanis. The Azeri population that settled in Kartli is comprised of two streams of migrants: 1. The Turkish-speaking population that was resettled between 15th-18th centuries; they went through the heaviest psychological and physical stress before they adapted to the new place. 2. Migrants who moved from one place to another to improve living conditions having adapted to the new environment. Currently the Azeri population in Georgia numbers 224,606. They mainly reside in Bolnisi, Dmanisi, Gardabani and Marneuli districts, mostly in district centers apart from in Dmanisi muniiciaplity where there are many Azeri villages. Some live in Tetritskaro and Tsalka districts.
Greek Woman from Tslaka
A small group of Greeks was settled by Erekle II (King of Kartli and Kakheti in the 18th century) back in 1763 in Kvemo Kartli. They worked in Akhtala copper, lead, silver and gold mines and were highly skilled in this business. The next resettlement took place in 1806-1807, and the following in 1829-1830. Turkish-speaking Greeks as well as Greeks speaking the Pontus dialect were resettled to Georgia. The study of archive materials tells us that the biggest stream of Greek migrants entered Georgia during the aforementioned period and their majority settled in Tsalka and Tetritskaro areas.
The Georgian Milk Mark Cheese at the Georgian Cheese and Wine Evening
On 16th of December 2019, the Georgian Milk mark organized a Georgian Cheese and Wine evening at 8000 Vintages to introduce cheese with Georgian Milk mark (GMM) to the supermarkets and encouraged them to pass information on the advantages of GMM cheese to consumers. Cheese with Georgian Milk mark does not contain milk powder or any vegetable oils, it has laboratory analysis and is produced in the enterprises which are HACCP certified. The Guests had the opportunity to taste different types of cheese made from natural raw milk produced by thirteen enterprises: Milken Ltd, Tsintskaro + Ltd, I.E Hakob Hambaryan, I.E Karen Simonyan, I.E Tsolak Grigoryan, Tsifora –Smatskhe Ltd, Tsalka +Ltd, Dairy Products Company Tsezari Ltd, Gocha Gagashvili – brand name Tsivis Kveli, Levan Bejanishvili-brand name Shuamta, Badri Gogoladze – brand name Cheese Hut, Coop. Tanadgoma, Coop. Disvelli. The Information per enterprise is available on www.georgianmilk.ge. The website allows consumers to look up the products they are buying using a unique register number printed on a label. The evening of Georgian Cheese and Wine was attended by Mr. Levan Davitashvili, the Minister of Environment Protection and Agriculture of Georgia, by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation Project Alliances Caucasus Program (ALCP) implemented by Mercy Corps, Georgian Milk Mark Project Administrator - Business Institute of Georgia and Marketing Company GMA Representative, the supermarkets and the dairies using the Georgian Milk mark. The evening was headed by Zaza Grigalashvili, an '8000 Vintages' Sommelier, who spoke about Georgian cheese and wine pairing. Helen Bradbury, ALCP Team Leader: ‘We have private sector cheese enterprises in the room from different regions, these are a real dairy businesses operating for years and years. It is very important that this is Georgian Milk from Georgian cows who eat Georgian grass. Consumers want to eat natural, healthy, good country food which comes from this beautiful land, from this beautiful clean water, from happy cows and are made in communities living in countryside. Today we are at 8000 Vintages and we all know the history of wine. If you want ‘Qvevri’ wine or European style wine we know from where it comes from its name and the consumer can choose according wine value and its good for the producer, they can add more value and then this value goes back to the jobs, factories in the communities. So in the dairy sector it is going to be the same: as cheese will have the name, taste, value, style and its started to develop, the money supporting these factories goes back to women who are supplying milk, their families, they are putting money to their children education and investing in their life'. Levan Davitashvili, The Minister of MEPA: ‘I think the most difficult sector in Georgia is adairy sector and we have a lot to do together. A good presentation of a final product the market and how we bring cheese to the consumer is very important. We can say that competition between the enterprises is unfair, but we work on this via new the regulations to change the situation in the sector, we also empower our laboratories to have better quality and safe products. Today we have Georgian Milk mark presentation which is a very good idea for providing information to the consumers about dairy products, which also gives advantages to producer'. The Products with the mark are available in Madagoni, Spar, Ori Nabiji, Nikora, Zgapari, Fresco, Carrefour, and Goodwill supermarket chains.
The Georgian Milk Mark dairies at the Cheese and Hot Drinks Festival
Tsintskaro + and Tsipora-Samtskhe dairy products with the Georgian Milk Mark were introduced at the Cheese and Hot Drinks Festival organized by Anna Mikadze – Chikvaidze, the Head of Cheese Producers Guild and held at the Mtatsminda Park on 10th of November, 2019. The visitors tasted cheese and received information about the Georgian Milk mark. ‘What makes this festival important is to introduce cheese with the Georgian Milk mark, which says to consumers that cheese is made from natural raw milk’ - stated Anna Mikadze - Chikvaidze. Currently seven dairy enterprises are using the Georgian Milk mark: Milkeni; Tsintskaro +; Tsipora –Samtskhe; Cheese Hut; Tsezari; Tsivis Kveli; Shuamta. Products with the mark are available in Madagoni, Spar, Ori Nabiji, Nikora, Zgapari, Fresco, Carrefour, and Goodwill supermarket chains. Information per enterprise is uploaded on www.georgianmilk.ge.

Prince and I
April 22, 2016 by Abbie Gale Leave a Comment
By: Abbie Gale
I have sat and cried thinking about begging my dad to let me go to a Prince concert in Detroit when I was 15. I had been a fan for years the way a kid becomes a young adult to a certain soundtrack. The Abbey Road record store guy, in my sleepy Michigan hometown, would always call me when a new Prince album was in stock. I started with vinyl when my older cousin Kristi played one of his records and long after she left the room I played that album over and over. My aunt had forbidden her to have it which drew me in closer. I moved onto a designated cassette case of my own with labels I kept everything I could find of his. Then I bought them again on CD and then eventually I transferred them into my digital files. He followed me through every stage of my life.
My dad refused to let me go to the concert. He threw out a string of insults directed at Prince while I pleaded my case. The next day my mom drove to Toledo, Ohio and stood in line at Jacobson’s Department Store and she bought two tickets. One for me and one for my best friend Cyndi. My mom wasn’t June Cleaver, (a little on that here.) My mom never took me to lunch or shopping, but my mom stood in line all day and scored two tickets for me. She paged me to the office at Ida High School and told me, “I met the most interesting people today in line!” She lied to the school secretary and told them we had a death in the family so they would call me down overhead to miss class. She told me to act sad when I hung up, (this was typical antics for my mom and I can laugh and appreciate her for it now.) I couldn’t stop smiling as I ran out of the office to go tell Cyndi we were going after all. My mom made my dad drive us up to Detroit to attend. I wore a half shirt under a full length shirt that I took off as soon as my dad dropped us off in front of the venue.
I have compared every concert to that concert since and no one can compare. I sat in front of the Grim Reaper and behind the Devil in a city that has over 500 fires that Saturday “Devil’s Night” before Halloween. He erupted onto that stage with all his Princely glory and no one in that stadium cared if the whole city around us was ashes. My mom has been gone for 24 years but this is my favorite story to tell about her because sometimes it wasn’t easy to know my mom loved me, but when she did this I knew she did.
We danced to Prince lyrics at our wedding. When other “kings” have died I have told my boys about Prince and his talents. He always seemed above the egos and the crazy antics. He was just eccentric enough to captivate us. I sincerely thought he had three more lifetimes in him musically. I selfishly wanted 20 more years of his music and talent. He has always been so private and yet he shared this massive cosmic gift with us. He was always so humble and yet he has this arsenal of music that it would take ten average “superstars” to create.
I thought one day he might tell us all the things we wanted to know about him that today’s reality show lifestyle has afforded us. But he died today and I have to be happy he has left us the gift of decades worth of music. I thought when he died he would be old and I would be too and that old people don’t mourn their heroes.
I thought I could get it out with an ugly cry in the shower but seriously, this sucks. His albums and songs were my actual soundtrack to my life. He loved music and he also understood how it connected us. Maybe it was his storytelling that attracted me as a kid. I am a storyteller, maybe because I never succeeded at anything musically and I have such high regard for anyone who has the talent and the work ethic. Starfish and Coffee made me happy and Raspberry Beret made me dance and Darling Nikki made me realize the power women have.
To everyone who called me and texted to see how I was, you made me smile. I don’t feel worthy of mourning a man I never met but when the plumber showed up to fix a leaky sink in my kitchen I saw the tears in his eyes when Prince’s death came up. That’s what he did. He brought people of every beautiful kind and fans of every musical style together and he made us think each song was for us.
You are beautiful Prince. I will miss you sweet man. The world will miss you.

It has also been receiving regular air play in Australia, Europe, Japan, USA , Brazil and Latin America.
The Bossa Nova Baby show features the original songs of Areias’s album as well as exclusive arrangements of bossa and samba hits such as “Mas que Nada”, “Water of March”and “The Girl from Ipanema”. Juliana was personally introduced to the Bossa Nova founders when she was a teenager by legendary Brazilian Music historian and journalist Ruy Castro who also named her “The Bossa Nova Baby”. This direct learning and unique experience have inspired her to become a professional singer and songwriter.
Her career includes recent performances at the Sydney Opera House , at The Ronnie Scott Jazz Club in London, in Amsterdam , at the Tanks Jazz Up North Series in Cairns (along with Kate Ceberano and The Cat Empire) , a Brazilian Tour performing at the legendary Beco das Garrafas in Rio, Sao Paulo, Salvador and Brasilia , as well as at The Montreux Jazz Festival, Auckland Festival, America’s Cup (NZ), The Perth International Jazz Festival and Ritmo Festival at Darling Harbour performing for over 30.000 people.
FEATURING PRESS AND REVIEWS
– “Rhythmically perfect and passionate vocal delivery” – Jazz and Beyond , The Australian, John McBeath.
– “We celebrate the changing face of Australian music with Brazilian-born, Perth based singer Juliana’s excellent, Bossa Nova-centred album.” – ABC Radio National – Lucky Oceans.
– “The toast of the Perth Jazz Scene. The release of Bossa Nova Baby has elevated her above a mere covers singer or bossa specialist. The singer excels in an elegant co-composed duet (Belas Artes) with Australia’s finest Brazilian-oriented 7-string guitarist, Doug de Vries”.– The Australian – Tony Hillier
– “It’s bossa that plays soccer with Jazz – as it has since the 60’s – and scoring a goal. Bossa Nova Baby” is a welcome surprise of great Brazilian music, made far away.” – O GLOBO– Brazil– Antonio Carlos Miguel – Music critic and judge member of the “Latin Grammy Award”.
” A wonderful Brazilian-Australian bossa nova baby with contemporary bossa nova songs.“– Key and Chords, Belgium/Europe – Patrick Van de Wiele .

[Series]Introduction of Japanese’s OLD BUDO BOOKS:vol.1
Translating Jujutsu Manuals: A Look Inside Meiji Era Budo
text by Eric Shahan
Last year I published a book called A Collection of Curious Jujutsu Manuals. The book was an anthology of Jujutsu manuals published in the late Edo and early Meiji Eras. My goal was to translate some of the many books on martial arts that former martial arts instructors sold to promote their art which had heretofore been supported by the government. For the most part the books extolled the virtues of Jujutsu training and then introduced some techniques from various Koryu, old school techniques. the types of books available to the average citizen of Japan and that consisted of five short Jujutsu manuals
Cover of A Collection of Curious Jujutsu Manuals published in 2018
The 5 Books included in A Collection of Curious Jujutsu Manuals:
Edo Era circa18th-19th century
I am currently working on Volume 2 of this series and would like to introduce one of the books included in this anthology and talk about how the translation is done.
The Japanese title is:
兵法要務：柔術剣棒図解秘訣Heihoyomu: Jujutsu Kenbo Zukai Hiketsu
In English this (rather long title) Fundamentals of Military Strategy: An Illustrated Guide to the Secrets of Jujutsu, Kenjutsu and Bojutsu and it was published in 1887, almost two decades after the Meiji Restoration and the end of the Samurai. The author is Inoguchi Matsunosuke井口松之助 who wrote several books about martial arts. This makes it likely he was from a Samurai family that served as martial arts instructors for one of the former domains of Japan. He was likely a practitioner of Tenjin Shinyō Ryū Jūjutsu 天神真楊流柔術since the Jujutsu techniques in this book are from that school, though he doesn’t mention that specifically. This book was an attempt to make the transition from an employee of the government to a citizen earning a living selling martial arts instruction.
The first several chapters deal with martial arts strategy and the book covers other martial arts including sword fighting, Rokushaku-bo (180-centimeter staff) and Hanbo (90-centimeter staff.) However, I am only focusing on the Jujutsu techniques presented in this book. As far as I can determine this is the oldest post-Meiji Restoration (1868) illustrated book on Jujutsu. Illustrated Jujutsu manuals existed before this time, but they were made for practitioners of a certain school and were probably not made for public consumption like this one was.
Due to the length, complexity and difficult Japanese in this book only the first two sections, Tehodoki and Shodan of Jujutsu will be translated. I hope to include the next two sections in volume 3 and translate the whole book at some point soon.
The book also went through over a dozen printings, each time adding and correcting some sections. I used a combination of three editions due to some missing pages. The author alternates between a person’s right or left and the viewer’s right or left which can be quite confusing. I have done my best to visualize these techniques and correct all such instances to the person’s right and left, not the viewers. The biggest issue was in the description of the techniques. Transitions from one movement to the next were rather unclear in some cases. To solve this, I consulted two other books associated with this school. These sources were published in the years after Jujutsu Kenbo Zukai Hiketsu. They are Illustrated Guide to the Inner Mysteries of Tenjin Shinyo School Jujutsu (1893) and Tenshin School Jujutsu (1926.) Both books contain the same list of techniques from Jujutsu Kenbo Zukai Hiketsu, therefore, for clarity, I combined the explanations from the three books into each technique.
Illustration at the front of the section on Jujutsu depicting a typical Dojo set-up in the Early Meiji Era. The Sensei is seated on a raised platform with a charcoal brazier beside him. The calligraphy above him reads 柔制剛 The soft and flexible can topple the strong and rigid.
Kenbo Zukai introduces Jujutsu in the following way:
The Origin and Significance of Jujutsu
Since long in the past Samurai have trained in Jujutsu. Whether in peacetime or in war it was considered a fundamental art. What I am describing is the art where the soft and flexible conquers the strong and rigid. Even if you are facing an opponent who is much stronger, you can easily seize and break them. Jujutsu is an art that allows you to consistently achieve victory. The reason is, there is a limit to strength, but technique has no limits. It grants you the power to take life or give it.
If you become enlightened to the Okugi, inner mysteries, of Jujutsu then you will be able to both topple your enemies and revive those that have been attacked or had an accident. Thus, I beseech the average citizen to study the art of Jujutsu. Some of the more renowned schools are the Yoshin School, the Shinto School, the Tenshin Shinyo School and the Kito School. The way these schools teach Jujutsu is largely the same, varying only in the details however the inner meaning is the same.
Chapters on Jujutsu
12 Shikumi Tehodoki, or Freeing Seized Hands techniques.
10 Shodan Idori, or First Level Responding to a Sanding Attack Techniques.
10 Shodan Tachi-ai, or First Level Responding to Armed and Unarmed Attacks
20 Shodan Nagesute, or First Level Sacrifice Throw techniques.
12 Randori, Free Sparring techniques
There are many Kuden, oral transmissions, and Hiketsu, deep secrets, in these techniques so, illustrations can’t do them justice. Therefore, only the Mokuroku level of Jujutsu training is listed.
Notes: Mokuroku is a set of basic techniques or it can be the first level of techniques.
The 12 Randori, Free Sparring Techniques listed in the table of contents under Jujutsu, aren’t mentioned in this introduction.
振解 Furi-hotoki: Shake Free
振解 Furi-hotoki: Shake free It is the second technique of the Tehodoki Section.
Note: Many martial artists are familiar with the two roles Uke and Tori, the receiver of the technique and the one doing the technique. In this school the Uke is called the Koh and the Tori is the Otsu. 甲乙Koh-Otsu can be translated as Former and Latter and is also used in Kyudo, Japanese Archery, to indicate a pair of arrows. One arrow is fletched with the feathers of from a bird’s right wing and one from the left wing, so they rotate in opposite directions when shot.
For simplicity’s sake Koh will be “The Attacker” and Otsu will be “You.” This is somewhat of an imperfect system since sometimes you attack “The Attacker” first, like in this technique.
Yahazu
A page from a Japanese Archery Document that diagrams names of the parts of the arrow. The Yahazu, or nock, is circled.
This technique is a continuation of the previous technique, Devil’s Fist.
Strike down to Men (top of the head) with the hand you yanked free in the previous technique. Your hand should be in a Shuto, or Hand Sword. This is also known as Hira Shuto, or Flat Hand Sword.
Note: Translating words like this is difficult since there is no reading given. For example, the Kanji for this could also be read as Te-Gatana.
As the illustration shows, you pick your target on the Attacker’s head and with a Kakegoe of Ei-ya! strike the Attacker in the head. The attacker matches your Kiai with one of his own and catches your wrist. He has his hand shaped like a Yahazu, the nock of an arrow. See the separate illustration of how your hand should look.
Note: The words Kiai and Kake-goe are interchangeable. The purpose of this shout is to unify your physical actions with your intent, while at the same time disrupting your opponent’s spirit and hopefully causing them to lose focus.
To free your right hand from the Attacker’s grip, use a cry of Eih! And cut your hand downward, toward the Attacker’s right knee. This is shown in illustration 2.
Note: The Kake-goe used in this document vary a lot. Eih! Ei-ya! Yaa! and Ya-to! are all used.
The left and right sides are done the same way. When attacking with the Shuto, envision yourself striking down with enough power to snap the bone at the base of the thumb.
Eric Shahan has been living in Japan for 17 years and has translated over 30 books on Japanese martial arts, Ninjutsu and Edo Era fiction. Some recent works include Twelve Rules of the Sword, The Tattooed Arm and The Hundred Rules of War. His independently published works can be found on his Amazon Author’s Page.

Since’s Beyoncé’s Lemonade came out, the world has been rife with speculations about the state of her marriage. Did her husband, Jay Z, actually cheat or was it all just a brilliant marketing scheme to spike album sales? The only person who hasn’t said anything about the rumors, until now, is Jay-Z. Finally, Hova’s hinted a response with his remix of a Fat Joe and Remy Ma track, “All The Way Up,” featuring French Montana.
In his verse, Jay says, “You know you made it when the fact your marriage made it is worth millions,” continuing with, “Lemonade is a popular drink and it is still is.”
Fans have been questioning the King and Queen of hip-hop’s marriage since the infamous elevator fight between Solange and Jay Z after last year’s Met Gala. Lemonade seemed to confirm the rumors, though some have suggested the album is not autobiographical, but a set-up for Jay to release a response album, and, of course, cash in big. If the pair’s plan all along was publicity, it’s definitely working.
“All The Way Up” is available for streaming exclusively on Tidal—another key element in Jay Z’s massive money-making scheme. While it offers little clarity in regards to Bey, the song is Jay Z’s first track since releasing his 2013 album, Magna Carta Holy Grail.

Write For Contemptor
Nadler Says He’ll Reject GOP’s Witnesses ‘Because They’re Irrelevant’
William Vaillancourt
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) said he doesn’t see the need to call any of the witnesses requested by Republicans during the impeachment inquiry.
“The list of witnesses they gave, [that] they asked me to call, I’ve said no to because they are irrelevant,” Nadler told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday. “They can appeal to the full committee if they wish and we’ll have a vote on that. But like any trial judge, you keep the witnesses to the relevancy.”
In a letter to Nadler on Thursday, Republicans demanded a “minority day of hearings” to call their own witnesses, with possibilities including House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Hunter Biden.
But Schiff “is not a relevant witness,” Nadler said. “He didn’t witness anything. His counsel according to the House rules is going to report to the committee tomorrow.”
“Every procedure, every fairness has been given to [the Republicans],” Nadler added. “They have declined to use them.”
The White House indicated Friday that it will decline to mount a defense of President Trump in the impeachment hearings despite his frequent complaints.

Knute Buehler to Seek Republican Nomination for Oregon’s Second Congressional District
By CBN on December 10, 2019 Business & Industry, E-Headlines
(Photo above Knute Buehler)
In a video to supporters, former State Rep. Knute Buehler announced today that he will seek the Republican nomination for Congress for the seat of retiring Congressman Greg Walden.
“Many Oregonians are tired of being disrespected or ignored by Portland liberals and elite D.C. politicians. In Congress, I will defend the values, rights and jobs threatened by the powerful arm of big government. I will be a conservative voice for the people and place I call home,” said Buehler.
Born and raised in Roseburg, Buehler grew up working in the woods and driving a Pepsi delivery truck. Buehler and his two brothers were the first in their family to attend college. He earned his undergraduate degree from Oregon State, played baseball and was a Rhodes Scholar. After attending Oxford University, Buehler earned his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He and his wife, Patty, a successful eye surgeon, have been married for 29 years and have two grown children.
Buehler was elected to the Oregon House in 2014 and re-elected in 2016. Buehler was the Republican nominee for Secretary of State of 2012 and for Governor in 2018. In four statewide elections — primary and general — Buehler has won the second congressional district four times.
In his campaign for Governor, Buehler made expanding economic opportunities to all of Oregon a centerpiece of his campaign.
“Oregon’s rural urban divide isn’t an immovable feature of the natural landscape. It is an artificial divide created by politicians each day in Salem, Portland and Washington, D.C. In Congress, I will never stop fighting for Oregon’s traditional jobs in farming, ranching and timber. I will work for limited government, secure borders and stand firm against government takeover of health care,” he said.

EAGLE IMAGE RELATED TO DECEASED BOY APPEARS
ON SISTER'S CAMERA 50 YEARS LATER
& FAITH SYMBOLS APPEAR
ON GOOD FRIDAY
http://www.bltresearch.com
When this report was originally posted in June, 2012 it contained details and photos of three highly anomalous incidents-- two of which clearly related to two deceased men.
The individual indicated in the first series of photos did not want those photos made public, but Robbert somehow forgot this
fact--and this man's spirit has now communicated to Robbert
repeatedly his wish that the events relating to him
& all of those photos be removed.
Therefore, with respect, this report has been so amended.
In August, 2011 Robbert moved from Hoeven into his own apartment where anomalous events continue to occur. With help from friends his own web-site is beginning to take shape and the taping of interviews with some of Robbert's clients has begun. These interviews with people who have come to Robbert for "readings" and/or "healings" are my favorite part of Robbert's website so far, because we can hear some of his clients recount their various experiences with Robbert in their own words.
These interviews (currently only in Dutch) are both intriguing and quite varied, and as soon as possible English sub-titles or over-dubs will be added to as many as possible. Whle waiting for some of the English translations to be added here are two events which occurred just before Easter, 2012 which continue to suggest the spiritual nature of these "energies" with which Robbert is in contact.
Marij van Dam
http://www.witteveder.nl/index.htm
Marij van Dam, a Dutch woman who is known as a "spiritual therapist" in the Netherlands, first met Robbert when he was only 15 years old. At the time she was living in Hoeven and had seen a newspaper article about the crop circles and Robbert's fore-knowledge of their occurrences and, so, made an appointment with him to discuss the circles and the other strange events which had already begun to occur around Robbert with some regularity.
They became friends and she did what she could to help Robbert cope with some of the social isolation associated with his situation, telling me that she realized Robbert was "very special, incredible" during her first meeting with him. Some years later she and her husband moved from Hoeven, but she stayed in touch with Robbert, visiting him in Hoeven from time to time.
Marij's birth family -- Vincent in the
center of top row.
Marij (whose family name was Buil) suffered a tragedy at the age of 11 when her favorite brother Vincent, only 13 years old at the time, was struck by a car and killed on April 1, 1962. Vincent had liked to draw and shortly before his untimely demise had drawn a picture of what Marij described to me as a "buzzard," but which looks more like a juvenile eagle (the hooked beak in Vincent's drawing is like an eagle's and young eagles' have brown plumage).
Since Vincent's death she has remained fond of birds, and continues to associate the memory of her brother with this particular image -- she said she thinks of him as a "falcon."
Vincent Buil's "buzzard," drawn shortly before
his death 50 years ago.
Not having seen Robbert in some time she had called to see when she might make an appointment to visit him again. She wanted to know if Robbert would do "readings" for two of her friends, whose photos she planned to bring with her. By coincidence the date set for her appointment with Robbert was on April 1st.
Because Robbert doesn't drive she picked him up during the afternoon and they rode together out to the fields, talking about the on-going saga of the crop circles and other events in both their lives -- and then drove to McDonalds to pick up dinner to enjoy back at Marij's hotel. During dinner she brought out the photos of her friends and Robbert did the "readings" as requested (using the photos). Marij also asked for some guidance in regards to her son, which Robbert was able to provide.
April 1, 2012 - Robbert conducting "readings" of Marij van Dam's
friends from photos she provided.
Neither Marij nor Robbert were discussing Vincent during this visit and, as it was late when the "readings" were completed, they prepared for Marij to drive Robbert home. As they were leaving the room (at about 12:30 am) Robbert suddenly became aware of the very strong presence of Vincent around him and he asked Marij if she wanted him to take some photos. Marij got her camera (a Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W310) and handed it to Robbert, standing right with him as he took just a few shots -- on the first of which appeared this image of a magnificent young eagle.

brother Vincent's death (original=top, cropped=bottom).
Only a few evenings later (Good Friday, April 6th) Robbert and I were on SKYPE, as we often are. Except during my first visit to his home 14 years ago, it has only been recently that I have begun to experience again the same strange "tingling" sensation that Robbert apparently always does when something unusual is going on -- but on the night of April 6-7th while talking with Robbert on SKYPE I felt this sensation becoming very strong as we talked. The whole top of my head was tingling in the same way my upper body had during that first visit to Robbert's house in the late 1990s. Robbert's friend Stan was with him that night and he felt it also -- all three of us sensed that something was "getting ready" to happen.
Around 12 midnight in Holland Robbert asked if he could SKYPE me back in a few minutes, to which I said "yes," knowing I might hear from him again that night or -- just as likely -- I might not. After waiting for an hour or two I closed down the computer, wondering if there would be something interesting from Robbert the next time I turned the computer back on.
As many times as I have experienced strange things with Robbert I never would have imagined the image that appeared on his camera that night. Neither of us adhere to any traditional religion but we do understand the important role formal religious practice plays in many people's lives. And both of us do believe in a "greater" creative principle or force, in spite of the fact we are not church-goers.
April 7, 2012 @ 12:48am (original, slightly cropped). Digital camera
set on a tripod w/automatic timer -- with Stan watching
as the photo was taken.
After hanging up Robbert had felt the "energy" we were experiencing while on SKYPE intensify and he got the "message" again that there is only one consciousness, one loving, compassionate Source -- and that we all come from it and are all part of it. He put the digital camera on a tripod, set the timer, and then stood in front of the lens and "focussed on the energy" as the camera took one photo.
Symbols for 9 religions (and 3 planets or solar systems?), as well
as a white heart (with what Robbert thinks is the "earth"
inside it) appear on the photo.
I've added the names of the various faiths associated with each of the symbols which appeared in this photo and Stan (who was present and watching Robbert as this photo was taken) translated into English for me more of the "message" that Robbert "heard" as this photo was taken:
"We all came out of the same loving Source...and it doesn't matter how you call it. People may choose for themselves whatever name they like and they must not fight about it.
The message is also that a new consciousness is arising in people so each can experience the Source in themselves, so each of us can develop a personal intimacy with this most deep, most truthful, essence. As this relationship develops everyone will know that this great "energy" does not punish...and we must learn forgiveness so we can live together in peace."
Over the years a number of crop circle "patterns" which have appeared in England and other countries look like symbols associated with one formal religion or another (in spite of the fact that many "croppies" don't follow any formal religious practice). The most common such symbol to appear in Dutch crop circles (Holland is a primarily Catholic country) has been the Christian Cross.
Another symbol which has, so far as I know, appeared only once in a crop circle context occurred in 1995 at Telegraph Hill, Winchester (UK) next to a more "typical" crop formation in barley. The very wide ring and circles had occurred first and displayed a beautiful undulating lay in the flattened crop -- but it was the Sanskrit "Om" symbol which appeared several days later which really triggered my curiosity.
Large Sanskrit "Om" sign appeared several days after the 120 ft.+ diameter
primary formation. Photo: Lucy Pringle
The plants in the center circle of the primary formation (placed on a steep hillside)
were swirled radially into a perfect "S." Photo: Steve Alexander
The 2012 crop circle season has begun and, as of this writing, there are 6 formations in Holland already. Photos of Dutch crop circles are posted in both the Crop Circle Connector's "World" section and on Robbert's new web-site: http://www.robbertvandenbroeke.nl/graancirkelarchief.
Other in-depth reports (in English) discussing the recurring phenomenal events which occur in conjunction with Robbert and/or in the circles which appear in his vicinity can be found on the BLT page devoted to Robbert's case: http://www.bltresearch.com/robbert.php (multiple individual reports are listed at the bottom, following the introduction).

SMTL Dressings Datacard
Product Name: Intrasite Gel
Classification Name: Dressing Hydrogel, Amorphous
Manufacturer: Smith & Nephew Healthcare Limited
Intrasite, is a colourless transparent aqueous gel, which contains 2.3% of a modified carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) polymer together with propylene glycol (20%) as a humectant and preservative. When placed in contact with a wound, the dressing absorbs excess exudate and produces a moist environment at the surface of the wound, without causing tissue maceration.
Intrasite may be applied to many different types of wound, including leg ulcers, pressure sores , surgical wounds and extravasation injuries. It is of particular value in the treatment of dry, sloughy, or necrotic wounds, promoting rapid debridement by facilitating rehydration and autolysis of dead tissue. In the management of granulating wounds, Intrasite prevent desiccation, and thus facilitates re-epithelialisation. The gel can form a useful vehicle for the topical application of antimicrobial agents such as metronidazole. Such preparations may be used, in combination with systemic therapy, for the management of wound odour caused by infection with sensitive organisms.
Contra-indications
Although there are no known contra-indications to the use of Intrasite as a topical wound dressing, the material is not ideally suited for application to wounds that are exuding very heavily.
Method of use
Intrasite should be introduced into the wound to a minimum depth of 5 mm, and covered with a sterile secondary dressing. Any unused dressing should be discarded. The selection of the secondary dressing will be governed by the condition of the wound. If significant quantities of exudate are anticipated, a simple absorbent pad may be used, held in position with tape or a bandage, as appropriate. On lightly exuding wounds, a less permeable secondary dressing may be required, such as a perforated film absorbent dressing (Melolin or Telfa, for example).
If the wound is very dry, a more occlusive covering may be used to reduce water vapour loss and to prevent the dressing drying out. A film dressing such as Opsite Flexigrid is suitable for this purpose. In the management of difficult wounds such as the hand or foot, the dressing may be retained on the wound in a suitably shaped plastic bag, forming a simple glove or boot . Intrasite may be introduced into narrow wounds or sinuses using a syringe and quill.
Frequency of Change
The interval between dressing changes will depend entirely upon the state of the wound. On heavily exuding or malodorous wounds, daily changes will be required; but on dry wounds, the dressing may be changed on alternate days. It is recommended that the dressing is not left `in-situ' for longer than three days between changes. At the discretion of the medical officer in charge, wounds that show evidence of clinical infection may be dressed with Intrasite, which should be changed daily and systemic antibiotic therapy commenced as appropriate.
Intrasite contains propylene glycol, which has been reported to be a potential irritant and sensitising agent in a very small number of patients. If a patient should exhibit any signs or symptoms of an adverse reaction to Intrasite, treatment should be discontinued at once. Each container should only be used for a single patient, and any unused gel should be discarded.
Intrasite is presented individually packed in a plastic dispenser sterilised by steam.
Intrasite should be stored in a cool dry place. The shelf life is three years.

Heritage Grains
By Laura McKissack
Heritage grains are those that have remained much the same, genetically speaking, as when early European, Andean and Aztec farmers tilled their fields, and they’ve played a huge role in supporting ancient societies. Quinoa, for example, has sustained the people of the Andes for thousands of years, and amaranth—revered as a holy plant and an essential source of nutrition by the ancient Aztecs—was once banned by Spanish conquistadores who believed its great importance to the people to be idolatrous.
These grains are gaining popularity as substitutes for much of the wheat and other grains that have been modified to provide the highest yields and fewest diseases possible—sometimes at the expense of flavor and nutrition. Also, many heritage grains are important to those intolerant to gluten, found in wheat protein. But aside from being great alternatives to wheat products, heritage grains are packed with flavor and nutrition and bring a great diversity of taste and texture to the palate. Cooked, they are excellent in salads, casseroles and breads and are a nutritious alternative to oatmeal.
In Central Texas, one of the easiest of these grains to grow is amaranth, and there are several varieties to choose from. Some, like Green Callaloo or Joseph’s Coat (a favorite of Thomas Jefferson), are best grown for their leaves and provide a nutritious addition to summer salads. The larger, tougher leaves are delicious tossed in olive oil and grilled in a grill basket. Others, such as Burgundy or Golden Giant amaranth, can be grown for their seed and make gorgeous, striking centerpieces as they can grow to over eight feet tall with brilliant golden and burgundy plumes that stay lush and keep their color well into late summer. In the garden or landscape, amaranth enjoys full sun, is very heat-hardy and can be planted directly in the ground about a quarter-inch deep after the last threat of frost. It’s usually among the first things to sprout up—roughly three to ten days to germination.
Amaranth seed can be harvested once the seed heads have matured and are beginning to lose their color. Test readiness by plucking one frond and rubbing it between your palms over a plate. If the seeds fall out easily and have a bit of a crunch to them, they are ready. To harvest the rest, you’ll need a bowl or bag to catch the seeds in as they’re worked out, and some sort of strainer set over it to catch the larger chaff and stems while letting the seeds fall through. Pluck the fronds from the main stem and work them between your hands over the strainer until most of the seeds have fallen out. What will be left is a quantity of small chaff and seeds. The chaff of amaranth is heavier than that of wheat and other grains, and the seed lighter, so winnowing must be done carefully. One method is to place a handful of seed at a time on a plate and blow gently while rolling the seeds toward you. (The chaff is edible, so no need to worry about getting every last bit.) The yield varies based on the varietal as well as the growing conditions.
There are, of course, heritage wheats, millets and barleys, as well, and several of our local growers and artisans are making good use of them. Chip McElroy at Live Oak Brewing Company is the only brewmaster in Texas who uses heritage wheat and other grains in his brewing process—lending a malty sweetness to the beers. Larry Butler of Boggy Creek Farm also grows heritage wheat, and is trying a new variety called Sonora this year that was handed down by a friend. And several Central Texas farms, including Richardson Farms and Bar W Farm and Ranch, are growing unadulterated wheat and other grains, and are making their flours available at many of our local farmers markets and area restaurants.
There are many reasons to explore heritage grains. Not only are they easy on the digestive system and highly flavorful and nutritious, but they are incredibly versatile in cooking and even easy to grow. Consider delving into the rich history of these seeds of the past, and try a few in the garden this spring.

Viaduc de Millau

Viaduc de Millau Viaduc de Millau 12100 MILLAU fr
The Millau Viaduct was built out of necessity: it opens up the southern Massif Central by creating a direct motorway between Clermont-Ferrand and Béziers.
How? By building an aqueduct to cross a gap 2460 m long and thus span the Tarn valley in Aveyron. A technical challenge that required 13 years of study and ... 3 years of construction.
At its commissioning in 2004, the Millau Viaduct became the highest motorway bridge in the world...
Its deck, which rises 270 meters above the Tarn (Aveyron), is the longest cable-stayed bridge (2460 meters) with the highest stack rising 145 m high.
This titanic structure was constructed with clean high-tech technologies in the world of public works: the structure is made out of self-climbing formwork, high performance concrete and innovative materials, making this unique structure (designed by British architect Norman Foster and French engineer Michel Virlojeux) so successful.
The bridge, made out of steel and concrete, gives the viaduct a strong fine structure with only 7 points along the construction supporting it and 1,500 tonnes of live wire covering the surface of the bridge.
13 years of study
This project did not need thirteen years of technical and financial research for nothing!
The bridge has overcome enormous geographic, climate and seismic problems in the region.
Strong winds can blow nearly 200 km/h in the Tarn valley. And there are seismic risks in the area, considered to be quite low which should be taken into account.
Ways to explore it...
If you would like to visit this symbol of modernity in its majestic setting, there are a thousand and one ways to explore it.
First you can take the 32 m wide bridge which hosts a dual carriageway, as well as:
by canoe
by pedestrian walkway, by bike or by quadbike
a view from the sky in an autogyro or paragliding
Each year, more than 500,000 people visit this work, appreciating it from every angle. This Viaduct also helped open up the region: it is the link for the A75 motorway, connecting Paris to the Mediterranean.
The Millau Viaduct in figures
Length: 2 460 m
Breadth: 32 m
Maximum height: 343 m, 19 m higher than the Eiffel Tower
Slope: 3.025% increase north-south (in the direction Clermont-Ferrand - Béziers)
Height of the tallest column (P2): 245 m
Tower height: 87 m
Number of columns: 7
Total weight: 10 100 tons

pageoftext.com
Posted on Published April 6, 2007 by Eugene Eric Kim
Gordon McCreight showed off his latest silly creation, pageoftext.com, at the last WikiWednesday. It’s a silly concept, and it’s got a silly lack of features. What’s really silly is how useful this silly little concept is. It’s considerably simpler than Writeboard, slightly more featureful than the various Pastebins, and better than both. (M4D)
pageoftext.com is a collaborative text editor on laxatives. All features you might think you need have been flushed away to oblivion. There’s no formatting, no registration, and no security. Editing happens in plain text. The URLs are human-friendly, which is good, because you’ll need to remember them if you ever want to find them again. Gordon does have a remind feature, in which you describe what’s on the page, and then he tries to find it for you. (M4E)
It’s great for when a bunch of people — especially normal people — need to edit a file together quickly and easily. You don’t have to go through the normal hullabaloo of logging in, because you don’t have to login. You don’t have to describe the markup, because there is no markup. It’s totally task-focused. (M4F)
This, in theory, is what Writeboard was supposed to be, except I think it’s a whole lot better. When I use Writeboard, I’m constantly reminded of what it’s not, as opposed to being excited over what it is. Writeboards are no easier than a Wiki to use, but they’re much less useful. (M4G)
I love pastebin (known as nopaste in some circles) for a lot of reasons. Pastebin emerged because developers collaborating on IRC needed a Shared Display. It’s brain-dead simple, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. pageoftext.com addresses a different goal than pastebin, but it has similar affordances, and could be used the same way. (M4H)
Gordon has been militant about feature creep, which is a good thing. That said, I started a page suggesting new features. Feel free to add those there. Or, if you prefer not to think about such esoteric things, you can add some Philadelphia-area restaurants and reviews to my Philly restaurants page. (I’m visiting Philly for the first time next weekend, and I need some good cheesesteak recommendations.) (M4I)
