General insecurity in Pakistan is multiplied manifold if you are, like Kahloun, an Ahmadi – a sect of Islam that many orthodox Muslims abhor as heretic. “I never thought they would target my family,” says Kahloun, 57, a successful businessman who left everything behind, obtained political asylum and moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where he lives with his wife and daughter. In 1974, under pressure from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan’s parliament declared Ahmadis as non-Muslim (similarly pressured, the newly independent Bangladesh refused). A decade later, a military dictator made it a criminal offence for them to “pretend” to be Muslims…………” The influence of Wahhabi oil money and Wahhabi ideology and overseas teachings is now worldwide. This phenomenon is widespread, having seeped like Persian Gulf crude petroleum, like petro-money, across the globe. There is so much hatred where none existed before. There is active intolerance, violent discrimination and mass sectarian murder in Pakistan and Indonesia. There is now religious and sectarian discrimination in Malaysia, in once-tolerant Egypt and North Africa. In Iraq, thousands of civilians are killed on the street because of the suspicion they might be of the wrong sect or faith. In the Wahhabi-ized ‘liberated’ parts of Syria and Iraq, women and girls of other faiths and sects are captured, used, sold, and bought as sex slaves. In Western cities, they collect money, distribute money, enlist volunteers, inject them with hatred and send them back to our region to kill, maim, and enslave. The Wahhabis carry their hatred with them into exile, creating new forms of discrimination and potential violence deep inside European cities. Against their hosts and against people of other faiths and sects, including Muslims. We all know who is fighting and murdering in Syria and Iraq and Yemen and North Africa and other places. We also know who has the funds to finance them. It takes many millions to run a Caliphate, much more than the revenues from a few oil wells they control in Syria. Many of the Jihadi volunteers come from the West, fueled by Persian Gulf money and the Wahhabi ideology of hate from the cradle of sectarianism. Perhaps helped along by alienation in European society: but it must take a lot of alienation to mow down, mass murder, innocent civilians. That ideology, most of the killers, and the money that sustains it mostly come from the absolute tribal princes and potentates. The same princes and potentates on whom the West is now pretending to rely for salvation in Syria and Iraq. The ones Mr. Obama “is proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with“. Is it any wonder few have faith in the outcome of this war? Is it any wonder most Arabs who cannot express themselves in the vast controlled Saudi and Emirati and Qatari media are skeptical? After the 9/11 attacks, George W Bush liked to speak of ‘draining the swamp‘. He was focusing on the wrong swamps: Taliban-controlled Wahhabi Afghanistan and secular Baathist Iraq. He may have misunderstood or was ill-advised. The genesis, the true swamp from whence Al-Qaeda launched its terrorism was not in Afghanistan or Iraq: it was, and still is, within the realm of some of his allies. The bloody trails from the killing fields of Syria and Iraq and other places lead in that direction.

__label__wiki	0.646643	0.646643	As Video Streaming Wars Heat Up, the Next Battleground Won't Just Be Shows – jj Home/rss/As Video Streaming Wars Heat Up, the Next Battleground Won't Just Be Shows As Video Streaming Wars Heat Up, the Next Battleground Won't Just Be Shows Rumors of the death of pay TVÂ have been slightly exaggerated. There’s no denying that pay TV, a category that includes traditional cable, satellite as well as bundlesÂ such asÂ Verizon’s (VZ – Get Report) FIOS or AT&T’s (T – Get Report) Uverse, has been on the wane in recent years. It’s also true that streaming video on demand (SVOD) services are rapidly proliferating — Disney+ (DIS – Get Report) , WarnerMedia’s HBO Max and Apple (AAPL – Get Report) TV+ are going live in the coming quarters, joining competitors Netflix (NFLX – Get Report) , Hulu and Amazon (AMZN – Get Report) Prime Video. ButÂ it’s not so easy to draw a straight line between the two trends. Nor is the “cord cutting” phenomenon a simple matter of consumers flocking to SVOD providers because of cheaper pricing and better content. As of late 2018, 78% of U.S. households still subscribed to pay TV, while 69% subscribed to an SVOD service, according to Leichtman Research Group, which analyzes the broadband, media and entertainment industries. And in recent quarters, the majority of losses in pay TV subscriptions have been driven by losses in satellite subscribers — from one provider in particular, said LRG founder Bruce Leichtman. “AT&T had a dramatic change in plans, focusing much more on profitability and margins, so that led to this idea that they’re not going to chase low-value customers the way they used to,” he said, referring to AT&T’s DirecTV service. “Since their strategy change three quarters ago, they’ve represented half of all industry losses.” Put another way, losses in satellite subscribers and gains in streaming have as much to do with provider strategy as consumer choice. And there’s also a lot of overlap between households that subscribe to pay TV and at least one streaming service — suggesting that when it comes to home entertainment, many people are perfectly comfortable shelling out $100 or more on a monthly basis. “Everyone is looking for value — it doesn’t matter where you are as far as your income,” Leichtman added. As the streaming market heats up — Netflix, Apple, Amazon and others have collectively spent billions producing or acquiring premium content — it’s easy to frame it as, fundamentally, a war for the best content at the best price. Netflix analysts, for example, have suggested that subscriber growth is closely tied to the quality of the original content slate in any given season, driven by certain premium showsÂ such asÂ Stranger Things, Orange is the New Black, Ozark, or BoJack Horseman. Others following the forthcoming Disney+ launch note that its biggest strength is its vast catalogue of intellectual property, from Star Wars to Pixar and National Geographic. But where the industry goes from here won’t just be dictated by whether consumers prefer to kick back with Marvel movies, Game of Thrones or old episodes of Friends. At low price points relative to pay TV subscriptions — WarnerMedia’s HBO Max, which could be priced as high as $17 per month according to reports, is poised to be the most expensive of the standalone SVOD services thus far — there’s room for many players to succeed. There’s an important caveat, however. Per Sjofors, founder of Atenga Insights and a specialist in how prices affect behavior, said that there’s a psychological “wall” at $15 where many consumers won’t sign up in the first place. With one exception. “Those who are interested in sports are willing to pay an insane amount of money to see the teams they follow, on whatever channel it shows up,” he said. That’s a key factor in the staying power of pay TV for many consumers — even as SVOD services have risen, too. And it’s likely one of the main reasons why in promotional materials for Hulu or YouTube TV — two services thatÂ include live TV and live sports for between $40 and $51 per month — you’ll typically find access to live basketball or footballÂ placed front and center. Pay TV is still “highly likely” to lose subscribers in the coming years,Â LeichtmanÂ noted, though the pace is difficult to predict: “How the industryÂ will further progress has as as much to do with provider strategies as consumer behavior,” heÂ said. As for what will fill the void for the cord-cutters of the future, it might be wise to (pun intended) keep your eye on the ball.Â Save 45% with our Prime Time Sale.

__label__cc	0.670453	0.329547	There's always time for trivia. Some of these were new to me, some were already known. Revel in the trivia. A rat can last longer without water than a camel. Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks or it will digest itself. The dot over the letter "i" is called a tittle. A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top. Sherlock Holmes NEVER said, "Elementary, my dear Watson." Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given out during World War II were made of wood. The number of possible ways of playing the first four moves per side in a game of chess is 318,979,564,000. There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with orange, purple and silver. The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo. If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death. (Who was the sadist who discovered this??) Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to s-l-o-w film down so you could see his moves. That's the opposite of the norm. The first CD pressed in the US was Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA." The original name for butterfly was flutterby. The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb. The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player for automobiles. At that time, the most known player on the market was Victrola, so they called themselves Motorola. By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you cannot sink into quicksand. Celery has negative calories. It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest. An old law in Bellingham, Washington, made it illegal for a woman to take more than three steps backwards while dancing! The Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from public libraries. The glue on Israeli postage is certified kosher. Elspeth - Thanks for these, as ever :-). I just love this trivia stuff :-). It's interesting about that dot over the "i." In Spanish, the ~ you sometimes see is called a tilde. I wonder if the two words are related. I'll bet they are.

__label__cc	0.735383	0.264617	From WikiMediation The term "polemology" means the study of conflicts. It has been created after the war on 1939-1945 by Gaston Bouthoul. 1 The Study of Conflicts 2 French Bibliography 3 French External Links 4 English External Links [edit] The Study of Conflicts By creating the "Polemology" or "War Studies" after the Second World War, with Louise Weiss and the French Institute of polemology, Gaston Bouthoul wanted to initiate a systematized study of phenomena of aggressiveness and wars. These issues are often subject to judgments that approve and disapprove the recourse of various methods used and power struggles. They are discussed in relation to the relevance of strategies and tactics, in economic, political and other relationships. Gaston Bouthoul has considered that we should better understand and approach them positively in order to find ways capable to prevent them. "That perspective has led to the publication of books and journals and the creation of institutions dedicated to research on peace, war and the passage from war to peace. The "Institute of Polemology" is among these initiatives. It has been founded in the early 1970s at the University of Strasbourg (France) by Julien Freund for promoting interdisciplinary scientific study of clashes and collisions between opposing wills. During the 1970s, the project regarding polemology has been extended to various manifestations of aggressiveness, such as road accidents for example. After the death of Bouthoul in 1980, polemology has gradually declined and was knon at the end of the century a gradual process of deinstitutionalization. But obviously neither the relations of hostility nor the belligerent passions have disappeared. Perhaps they were even scattered, especially with the emergence of new intermediate situations between war and peace.

__label__wiki	0.691696	0.691696	F@*! Off: In Defense of Cocky Prick Jay Cutler by Robert Mays I was watching football at a bar near San Francisco last weekend when the man on the adjacent stool noticed my Bears hat. “You from Chicago?” he asked “Northwest suburbs,” I said. Standard chatter followed. He had family a few towns over from where I grew up. He visits every once in a while. We weren’t a minute into the conversation when he asked the question so many seem to when they learn where I’m from and what team I root for: “So, what do you think of Cutler?” There doesn’t seem to be one thing that explains the curiosity, and often, the ire, people have for Jay Cutler. A Grantland reader sent along an e-mail a couple weeks ago pointing out a Forbes survey that counted Cutler as the fifth most-disliked player in the NFL. The top 4? Michael Vick, Plaxico Burress, Ben Roethlisberger and Albert Haynesworth. For anyone scoring at home, that would mean that discounting former prisoners, accused rapists and face-stompers, Cutler is the most hated man in the league. The fallout from Cutler’s perceived bow out of the NFC Championship game has something to do with it, I’m sure. And the way he handled Josh McDaniels’ arrival in Denver certainly didn’t help. But mostly, it just seems like the guy’s a real asshole. I answered his question the same way I always do — that Cutler makes three throws a game that make me sit up in my chair, that I’ve watched him pick himself up off the ground for two years, and that I don’t think anyone in the league does more with less. Does he seem like an asshole? Maybe. But dammit, he’s our asshole. When the criticism came last season after a sprained MCL kept Cutler out of the second half of last year’s NFC Championship game, even Bears fans had to qualify their defenses. Ten months later, it had turned from obligation to duty. And that’s what makes what happened Sunday so damn shitty. Chicago has never shied away from accepting controversial stars (see Rodman, Dennis). All that matters is the willingness to prove that you give a damn, and for the first few games of this season, that’s all Cutler did. The Bears’ offensive line was a rotating cast of ineptitude, and each week, Cutler took his beating. As he picked grass out of his helmet and wearily gathered himself up off the ground, the past image of him wrapped in that massive jacket on the sideline last January couldn’t have mattered less. My friend Conor might have said it best: “There were those couple games where you could see him feeling like I do when I come to work, which is, Screw it. This is not going to be fun, but I’ve got a job to do.” Cutler even went so far as to tell his boss to fuck off. Over time, it’s that type of indignation, the same sort of behavior that’s alienated him from everyone else, that’s endeared him to Bears fans. We’ve embraced him because he’s never been afraid to embrace himself. As a certain team from Nowhere, Wisconsin, has become America’s Darlings and a certain quarterback has been anointed as some Montana-Elway-Jesus hybrid, there was something exciting about football’s most hated non-criminal spoiling an undefeated season. You can have Aaron Rodgers. We’ll take the guy you all love to hate. For the first time in a while, it was all working, and even for the most fatalistic of Bears fans, it was hard to temper the hope. There’s little question that if Cutler had 15 interceptions through these first 10 games, if the Bears were 3-7 instead of 7-3, that the antics wouldn’t be nearly so welcome. But they’re not, and when Cutler makes the sorts of throws like the one to Johnny Knox for a touchdown Sunday — where he sidesteps a barely blocked defensive end and puts a perfect ball in the back of the end zone — being a cocky prick isn’t off-putting. It’s fun as hell. Now, we’ll find out if any of it mattered. Just as Cutler had finally taken hold of the Bears’ future, he’ll hand it off to an undrafted free agent from Colorado State who needs to go 3-3 to give Cutler a chance to finish what he started. I hope he does, because so far, Jay Cutler hasn’t given a damn, and that’s exactly how we like him. Previously by Robert Mays: Is Justin Blackmon Really 6-foot-1?

The revolutionary killer has taken on an iconic appeal by many of those inside the left leaning realms of popular dissent. Just as it is easy for those on the left to look at the brutality of the policies of great intellectual statesmen like Henry Kissinger, a sacred behemoth among political elites of government. In the minds of many, one represents all that is wrong with the other side. Just as the reverse is true as far as imagined virtues goes. Both are iconic, Che fills the front of a T-shirt with a rock stars brilliance whereas the deep matter of fact voice of Kissinger comes only close to, ironically, the droning sounds made by Noam Chomsky who himself is as an icon. What compels human beings to seek these figures, to uphold another human being above all others regardless of the realities that surround them? To make them, iconic. Henry Kissinger would be nothing if not for the millions of public servants eagerly enacting the policies that he is famously associated with. The establishment regardless of party fondly romances the man as though he almost alone ensured the cessation of nuclear warfare between the Soviet Union and the USA. The real politick pragmatism that he was associated with helped to steer the war weary world into a safer and more cynically peaceful path, so it is written. This perspective and world view can exist from academia and among the elites of politics but for those that died beneath the mighty bombs of the USAAF inside South East Asia, the boots of tyranny in Chile or the bayonet in Indonesia the view differs. Yet, Henry Kissinger was not present for these bloody massacres, somehow, he near solely takes the blame for such brutal conduct. The blame is not for those human killers who were on the ground acting in lustful disdain for life or because they were simply obeying policy, it is his crime. While intellectuals like Niall Ferguson and Christopher Hitchens may spar through lectures and books about the merits and crimes of a great man like Henry Kissinger, it neither brings back the dead or satisfies the victims of the government policy that his greatness is associated with. Henry Kissinger may be a great mind for international politics and American foreign policy, that does not make him a good man. He may be sought even in his greying years as a speaker, paid lofty sums by academic institutions to hear how his brand of policy staved off war yet helped to destroy millions of lives. Or to give sound bites on contemporary politics by mainstream media, it is with the selfie obsessed politicians who frequently reanimate the near corpse for another self-serving photo op. A nod to the establishments past of business as always. As a Henry Kissinger is embraced by political leaders, each of them desperately seeking his approval with a sickly publicity framed insecurity as though he is a grand uncle of wisdom. Those who consider themselves anti-establishment and dissenting embrace the firing squad savvy master, Che. The actual repressor of so much and yet symbolic liberator of so little, his face found inside of dorm rooms and on Rock albums alike. Even for the non-politically minded they can associate him with rebellion, unsure as to who he really was, like most it would seem. It does not matter what the true history stands to state, only what the sexy illusory depictions of who Che may never of have been is inside the minds of those who sometimes, sort of dissent from the mainstream. Whether for gay liberation, free speech, direct democracy or utopian socialism, Che and his pragmatic comrades killed, kidnapped and stole their way to victory. Yet, it was not in their deeds but in their enemies’ crimes that helped to secure their legacy as iconic Robin Hoods. It is why protesting NFL stars will wear his image, he is in their view anti-establishment and anti-that America. Who else could would be available for such a surface scratching dissenter to embrace on their shirt front? As the United States blasted to pieces jungles and innocents in South East Asia, Western imperial powers clutched on desperately to colonial possessions with brutal control and as corporations profited with sinister glee thanks to their governments regulations and might, a dissatisfied element seeking justice rose up from among the ranks of the privileged as well as the oppressed. For them this was the face of capitalism. After all some profited and those who ruled often talked about the merits of capitalism, free markets and the need to oppose communism, what else could it be if not what they claimed it to be. Regardless of any of it having little to do with laissez faire capitalism, that mattered little to those listening and witnessing. Such intellectual debates are not available for the starving and desperate. It was inside the anti-imperialist rhetoric of left wing pamphlets and speeches that many found a solace and a means to fight the oppressors. Uncle Sam was for many the ultimate tyrant, and its crony dictators only helped to ensure this sentiment was felt far and wide, especially South of the border. Che was a powerful voice and emissary for not only Cuba, which he had participated in ‘liberating’ from the gringo’s tyrant. Che was on the ground, in the soils of Africa and forests of South America helping to train and fight with the down trodden rebels. This was powerful, romantic and exciting. If the brutal Americans and their profiteering corporations stood for capitalism, then the opposite of that must be the liberator it seemed to many. The dirty, dishevelled long haired rebel was the perfect image for the counter culture West but most of all among the misery laden victims of colonialism. In Che’s execution he was sanctified, a martyr for the religion of the left, the apparent only force of dissent. Regardless of his bloody conduct and those he associated himself with, Che, had an anti-imperial message, one that was relevant to the then. It still echoes on into this age, except those who know nothing about suffering and true misery seem to find inspiration in his image for social justice glory. So long as libertarians and anarchists are absent in the condemnation for war and imperialism, the old left and the revolutionary left of Che shall stand as the only alternative to the status quo for the many suffering. While the traditionally right-wing elements remained silent on imperialism, at least in the positive, that meaning opposing it, men like Henry Kissinger could rise to prominence. The mess that was the Vietnam war and the wider struggle between Soviet Imperialism and Western ‘freedom’ could allow a man who had fled the Nazi regime some credibility as a diplomat and political science expert. He could help to steer the US in its course, thus ensuring peace. So long as the United States was the pre-eminent power alongside its allies, what victims were made mattered little so long as the status quo and détente was found. Unlike Che, Kissinger was clean looking and could not be found inside the jungles of consequence, the dirtiest he would have gotten would be if chalk dust powder splattered onto his pants as he helped to inspire some of tomorrows policy elites. It is in his State Department role alongside President Nixon that Kissinger is most often known, and where he is often condemned the most. US political regimes before Kissinger and Nixon had been involved in coups, the mass bombing of innocents, propping up of dictators and supporting death squads but it was perhaps with the timing of the post 1968 euphoria of dissent that the duo met their symbolic condemnation. Che was dead and the ready to cling to heroes for the left had too few to find. Nixon had revealed himself to be untrustworthy and with the revelations of the Pentagon papers, massacres of My Lai and the over throw of the Allende regime in Chile the administration was in hot water, and then off course Watergate. Though the bloody miserable revelations of war and death often preceded the then current political regime of Nixon and Kissinger, it was with the first American political-gate that most seemed to focus on the regimes wickedness. Though no one died because of Watergate, the wider world watched the American public and media go after their leader, while remaining silent on the millions of dead thanks to its foreign policy. Che was right it would seem. Americans suddenly distrusted government, at least for a time. It would take some years until their love of government would reach the pre Nixon levels and even then, it was easier to simply blame men like Nixon and Kissinger for such foibles and controversy. The institution and dedicated public servants ever pure, if not for a few bad figure heads that pollute such nobility from time to time. Kissinger would go on to become that bad figure head of foreign policy for his critics mostly on the left. His crimes, ever apparent only after the end of the Cold War when macho Uncle Sam could let out its waist band for a moment. For those who proclaim to be libertarian or liberty minded it is dangerous to both forsake the appeal of either man or to focus on one over the other. The flaws of the right have always been that for all its talk of free markets, it often seeks nationalism and a form of imperialism. It is empty when it comes to opposing either. Just as the left with its desire to control markets and industry at home is often vocally opposed to the wars and colonialism. The imperialism for them seems to ever be focussed inwardly. For the victims, overseas those inside the dominions of empire, it is the blathering appeal of the left that tends to resonate, the revolutionary iconography of Che and not the political mass bombing pragmatism of Kissinger. The victims are pragmatic also, stop the wars. Che in his false symbolism for many of them represents this. For the establishment minded, Kissinger represents a stability that only with a skewered hindsight they can find. The instability that those who suffer outside the United States thanks to it and its allies’ foreign policy is anything other than stable. It is terrible and deadly. Whereas the anti-establishment rebels, those very real and only inside their own minds, opposition to the present tyranny does not necessary mean what replaces it is for the positive. Often, should there only be opposition and no principle in mind those with blood already on their hands can become the next tyrants, whether Jacobins replacing monarchy or Bolsheviks eventually ruling instead of the Tsar. Such icons and what they supposedly represent have beneath them a veil of consequence that is not so simply dissenting or stabilising. Neither represents and real liberty or salvation for the individual’s freedom, just more calamity and pain. The great irony of both supposedly opposing icons of the establishment and anti-establishment is that many who in their disgruntled college youth, privy to endless education most likely wore the Che shirts and had on their walls his poster, as they learned to someday become better Kissinger’s. A broad stereotype perhaps but so is the belief that both men are all that they are praised to be, and all that they are criticised for. For Kissinger is nothing without the obedient men and women who served their government. And Che, he is just a man, those that stood by and watched him execute and those who helped him they did so as bloody murderers for their own cause, and not one for either justice or liberty. Both are great men, but not men of good moral virtue, as is perhaps the case for all icons of history. Kym Robinson, October 2017.

__label__cc	0.596375	0.403625	Games by Mika Halttunen. Oddhop Jewels 2 Desktop Games Those Funny Funguloids! I Have No Tomatoes Ultimate Steroids All Old Games Formido Jewels 2 Status Update April 18, 2013 android, development, ios, jewels2, news Comments UPDATE on May 20th: So Google I/O 2013 happened. They announced — finally — a gaming service called Google Play Games. This is pretty much what I was expecting to have after last years I/O, but nevertheless the thing is now real. The biggest surprise was that it also supports iOS devices! :O So I had already integrated OpenKit for Jewels 2, which was great, but there were some nice bonuses with Google's solution. After thinking about it for some days and trying the code, I made the decision to switch to GPG from OpenKit. As GPG also supports iOS, there was not much point of keeping the both services implemented. Naturally this has caused a delay in Jewels 2 development, since I had to rewrite the leaderboard and cloud save () stuff, but it only took about three days of work, so not that bad. However, Google requires a game using the services to have at least 5 achievements. As I wrote earlier (below, actually), my plan was to add the achievements in a later update, but now I need to have them in by the first release. Oh well, shouldn't take too long. Still a few days of May left, let's see if I can get the Android version out before June (probably not, though). ) Doing cloud save is actually pretty difficult when you cannot merge the datasets when there is a conflict.. The end result is that the game should not be played simultaneously on several devices when syncing on the same account, because only the latest sync is kept. I'm still testing various approaches of manual, semi-automatic and automatic sync. If I could merge the datasets, using automatic sync would be a no-brainer, but alas, it's more difficult in my case. The original post is below: Long time no write; it's time to unleash a quick post for your reading pleasure! I have some exciting news to share with you — and no, it's not the release date, sadly that one is still a mystery even to myself. However, I can give you the Ultimate Deadline(TM) for Jewels 2. This has been known to my Twitter followers for some time now: I will do my best to release the game before July 2013, hopefully sooner than later! What's so special about July, then, I hear you ask? Oh, you didn't ask? Well I was sure I… ahem Anyway, in July my wife and I are expecting our second baby, a little sibling to our now 3 year old daughter. So that's the Ultimate Deadline(TM). Now, if I had to guesstimate the release date, I might be inclined to say May instead of June, but too early to tell for certain.. But wait! There is more. Remember I talked about the social gaming components earlier? Continuing on that note, I am hereby announcing that Jewels 2 will support cross-platform leaderboards (and hopefully cloud sync of game data) through Google Play Games (see the update above) our friends at OpenKit! This means that players can compete with each other in the numerous game modes, no matter whether they're playing on an iPhone or an Android device. And even better, I'm hoping to add in cloud synchronization of the game data, meaning all your player profiles (if you have more than one), statistics and saved games in Jewels 2 are accessible from any other device you might have. On iDevices Jewels 2 naturally also supports Game Center leaderboards. Of course, should Google unveil some magical gaming component at this years Google I/O, I'd be delighted to support it as well. As for achievements: currently the plan is to first release Jewels 2, and then in a later update add some achievements for the players to reach for. What's on my TODO list before the release, then? Well I've still got a couple of background scenes to draw/set up, the cloud sync thing, some minor code thingies and some polish. And testing, of course. So not too much work, actually, which is nice. What else… Oh, you might have noticed the screenshot on the right? (That also appeared on my Twitter before; keep an eye out for more, especially on #ScreenshotSaturdays! ) It's from the COLLECT-mode, where you need to collect an increasing amount of each jewel per level.

The matter dealt with remediation of M/s Tamil Nadu Chromates and Chemicals Limited (TCCL) chromium contaminated area at Ranipet, Vellore, Tamil Nadu. TCCL situated at SIPCOT Industrial Estate, Ranipet, Vellore, Tamil Nadu generated and disposed off huge quantity of hexavalent chromium bearing chromite ore processing residue on open land during its about 25 years of operation from 1976 to 2001. The NGT had directed the CPCB to come with a finl remediation measure by which the chromium contaminated site can be properly remediated and restored to its original position. The CPCB had forwarded the final DPR to the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board with request to take up remediation works as per the said DPR. As per the DPR, estimated cost for full scale remediation of contaminated area at Ranipet and the adjoining areas of TCCL site is Rs. 206 crore and apart from this, a groundwater remediation system is required to be operated for about 10 - 15 years at annual operating cost of about Rs. 10 - 15 crore. Excavation, treatment and disposal of contaminated soil and waste at On-site secured landfill (SLF) is about Rs. 194 crore. Groundwater remediation by installing abstraction system (pump and treat system) along with a common water treatment plant for chromium contaminated water is about Rs. 12 crore. The report also said that the remediation cost was estimated during 2018-19 and the cost can escalate.

__label__cc	0.706307	0.293693	Higher Immigration Keeps Social Security Solvent January 24, 2018 admin Analysis and Opinions, Immigration 0 by Emily Top On Monday Congress brokered a three-week extension to reopen the government. One area of disagreement between the two parties was the future of the “Dreamers,” children who arrived in America without appropriate documentation. The Social Security Trustees’ Report shows that higher immigration levels improve the solvency of Social Security trust funds and lower levels make the program worse off. As Congress considers immigration bills, members could examine the trustees’ detailed calculations. These are relevant because no one wants the program to run out of funds, and it is politically problematic for Congress to raise payroll taxes or lower benefits—other measures that would bring the program into balance. The Social Security Administration’s annual trustees’ reports present actuarial data on the present and future financial stability of the OASDI Trust Funds. The latest report, published in 2017, presents a range of scenarios with different levels of immigration. At the end of 2016, approximately 171 million people paid Social Security payroll taxes while nearly 61 million people received Social Security benefits. Of these 61 million, 44 million were retired workers and dependents of those retired workers, 6 million were survivors of deceased workers, and 11 million were disabled. According to their intermediate-cost estimates, both the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Federal Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Funds satisfy financial adequacy in the short term. The total income, including interest income, projected for Social Security will remain above the total cost until 2021. However, in the intermediate-term, the cost of Social Security is projected to increase faster than projected income. As a result, the OASI Trust Fund will have sufficient funds to pay full benefits on time until 2035, but the DI Trust Fund will only have sufficient reserves until 2028. Immigration plays a central role in the funding adequacy of Social Security. The 2017 report showed that high immigration (legal and illegal) is associated with higher tax revenues and therefore overall lower program costs for the Social Security program, and lower immigration is associated with higher program costs due to lower revenues. The reason: as well as contributing more labor and Social Security taxes to the economy, immigrants have children, who also are projected to work and pay Social Security taxes. Under intermediate-cost assumptions, the level of net legal immigration is a million people per year. With this level of immigration, long-range asset reserves on the combined OASI and DI Trust Funds would support 100 percent of benefits until 2030. After 2035, asset reserves will have depleted to zero. The balance on the OASI and DI Trust Funds, as pictured in the graph below, declines to nearly 5 percent below by 2095. The trustees analyzed the predicted state of Social Security under a range of assumptions. Under high-cost estimates, annual net legal immigration is 602,000 persons. The asset reserves on OASDI are less than the amount necessary to fund benefits by year 2026, estimated to be around $2.6 billion. Under high-cost assumptions, reserves would be depleted to zero by 2030. Additionally, the balance on OASDI by year 2095 would be almost 12 percent less than taxable payroll. In contrast, under the low-cost scenario, annual net legal immigration is approximately 1.3 million people, more than double the high-cost scenario and about a third more than the intermediate scenario. In this case the reserves for the two funds, OASI and DI, gradually improve and would be nearly 200 percent of benefits by 2090. Moreover, by 2095, OASDI would practically be in balance. The major difference between the high-cost and low-cost estimates is the increased revenues from immigration. By permitting more legal immigration, the United States can help fill jobs and add more payroll workers whose taxes will boost Social Security revenues. Given that the current unemployment rate is around 4 percent and the U.S. labor force participation rate has remained stable, it is clear that we need new workers to increase economic growth. Congress can increase payroll taxes or reduce benefits to bring Social Security into balance, but both of these options are politically difficult. By allowing a greater inflow of law-abiding legal immigrants, Congress can mitigate the trust funds’ actuarial problems. Emily Top is a research associate at Economics21.

__label__wiki	0.635866	0.635866	Military competition among powers to be more intense in 2022 China Military Online Wang Xinjuan By Chen Hanghui Under major changes and a pandemic both unseen in a century, the instability and uncertainty faced by the international security environment have risen significantly. Against this backdrop, major powers such as Russia, the US, the UK, France, Germany, and India have accelerated their military transformation while focusing on key areas. 2022 may become a year in which the military game between major powers becomes more intense. Strategic weapons as the priority The military game among major powers is first and foremost a fight for strategic dominance, and the importance of nuclear weapons in shaping the strategic situation is self-evident. Nuclear arms race will remain the focus of military competition between Russia and the US and other major powers in 2022, and hypersonic weapons will become the focus of military technological competition among major powers. Today's nuclear arms race among major powers will focus more on breakthroughs in weapon quality. The US will invest USD 27.8 billion in nuclear weapons projects in 2022. It plans to purchase Columbia-class strategic nuclear-powered submarines, and upgrade nuclear command and control, communication and early warning systems. Russia will commission one Borei-A-class nuclear-powered submarine , two Tu-160M strategic bombers and 21 sets of new ballistic missile systems. And the modernization level of its strategic nuclear arsenal is expected to exceed 90 percent. The UK and France will also strengthen their nuclear armament construction this year. Through measures such as developing new strategic nuclear-powered submarines, expanding the number of nuclear warheads, or testing new ballistic missiles, they strive to further strengthen their nuclear forces. As a leader in hypersonic weapon technology, Russia will commission the Zircon sea-based hypersonic cruise missiles this year and continue to develop new hypersonic missiles. The US will invest USD 3.8 billion this year in the development of hypersonic weapons to catch up with Russia. France, the UK, and Japan are also advancing the research and development of hypersonic weapons. Upgrade of conventional equipment accelerated The foothold of the military game between major powers is to win modern wars and maintaining the leading edge of conventional weapons and equipment is an important prerequisite for winning. Major powers such as Russia and the US will accelerate the upgrading of main battle equipment in 2022. The US will focus on the upgrading of weapons and equipment in the Navy and Air Force. The US Navy will speed up the upgrade and commissioning of weapons and equipment such as Ford-class aircraft carriers, Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarines, and F-15EX fighters as planned, and build a high-end sea and air equipment system featuring new aircraft carrier platforms and fifth-generation fighter jets. Russian military equipment upgrades are in full bloom as its army is expected to commission more T-14 tanks, the navy will have 16 large warships, the aerospace force and the navy will receive more than 200 new or improved aircraft. The UK will speed up the commissioning of a new generation of Boxer armored vehicle s. India will continue to promote the actual combat deployment of its first domestic aircraft carrier. And Japan will continue to purchase F-35B fighter jets and upgrade the quasi-aircraft carrier Izumo. In the field of the electromagnetic spectrum, the US military's focus this year is to promote the Air Force's Project Kaiju electronic warfare project and the Navy's next generation jammer low band (NGJ-LB) program , and further optimize the electronic warfare process through exercises. Russia will receive Pole-21 , Krasukha and other new electronic warfare systems to improve the automation level of electronic warfare systems. The UK will upgrade the electronic warfare systems of the Type 45 destroyers and the Type 26 and Type 31 frigates. The Japanese Self-Defense Forces will continue to promote the newly established 301st Electronic Warfare Company to form combat power. Featured development of intelligent technology and unmanned equipment A new round of scientific, technological and military revolution is developing rapidly around the world, and warfare is rapidly evolving towards the intelligentized form. In order to win future wars, Russia, the US and other major countries have increased investment in scientific research, focusing on intelligent technology, unmanned equipment, and human-machine coordinated tactics. The US military plans to invest USD 874 million in research and development funds this year to promote the application of intelligent technology in information, command and control, logistics, network defense and other fields. Russia is currently working on more than 150 artificial intelligence (AI) projects. This year, it will focus on adapting intelligent software for different weapon platforms to enhance its combat effectiveness. France, the UK, India and other countries have also strengthened the research on AI technologies and tried to apply them widely in the fields of intelligence reconnaissance, auxiliary decision-making and network security. The US is the first to explore and has a certain advantage in the field of human-machine coordinated operations. The US plans to organize the first combat test of company-level unmanned armored forces, explore ways for fifth-generation fighter jets to coordinate with unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and drone swarms, and promote the coordinated reconnaissance, anti-submarine, and mine-sweeping tasks between manned and unmanned warships. Russia will promote the integration of unmanned equipment into the manned combat systems as soon as possible while continuing to promote the systematic construction of drones and unmanned vehicles. In addition, France and the UK are also actively exploring human-machine coordinated tactics in military operations such as urban ones.

__label__cc	0.733703	0.266297	Greenside Training: Tracking the Human Spirit “Hi. Freddy Osuna.” I heard those three simple words as I shook the hand of man that I instantly knew was different from a lot of instructors. Outwardly, he exuded the confidence that comes from years of active duty in the USMC, but I could see that there was something deeper in his eyes that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I would wait to see what would happen. Shuffling my gear around, I was busy getting ready to cover the final moments of Trek’s Trek: The Ride to Honor Brian Terry as Erik Utrecht ended his 2000 mile solo bike ride at the Border Patrol Station in Bisbee, AZ. I had spoken to Trek a few days prior about the Greenside Training course I was about to take, and he had been gushing about the few days he had spent with Freddy Osuna last year. Knowing very little about the man I was about to spend three days with, I decided as always to reserve judgment until I was in the throes of the class. I was invited to attend this industry only version of Greenside’s Grayside/Urban Tracking by David Reeder (RecoilWeb) who has trained with and taught with Osuna for years. Darrell Morrow, VP at Vertx also generously sponsored me for the trip to field test some gear that Vertx has in the works. (Stay tuned for some awesome news in January!) On the flight out from Maine to Arizona, I made it a point to read Osuna’s book “Index Tracking: Essential Guide to Trailing Man and Beast.” Having zero, and I mean ZERO tracking experience, I at least wanted to familiarize myself with terminology and 10,000 ft level concepts so I wouldn’t be so overwhelmed in the class. Index Tracking by Freddy Osuna I arrived a day early and met up with Reeder in Bisbee, where I was introduced to Osuna. The three of us watched as Trek completed his ride, and Osuna introduced me to Jim Grasky, a tracking legend (more on him later). We grabbed a quick lunch at Jimmy’s, a Chicago-style hot dog stand just up the road from the Border Patrol station and as Reeder and I caught up, I could feel Osuna watching and listening. It was that same feeling you get when your teacher watches you from across the classroom. There is a calm, experienced presence about Osuna that is noticeable. I’m typically able to read someone pretty quickly, and my bullshit meter is usually spot on. I wanted to find out if the quiet demeanor of Osuna was an act, ego, or something more relaxed. With a lot of preparation to tend to, we parted ways and I geared up for the 3 day class. TD1 – Old Tucson I tend to show up to classes at least 30-60 minutes early wherever I go to see if there is anything I can do to help setup, prepare…whatever. It also gives me a chance to check lighting conditions and get a lay of the land for the type of shots that I want. We were set to rally at Old Tucson, a Hollywood style studio town set out in the desert. It was here that movies such as Tombstone, The Three Amigos, (and countless others) were filmed. Gathering in the parking lot I met my classmates for the week. Attending were folks from US Palm (Rob & Brandon), Recoil (Yancey), Harris Tactical (Bobby), and Breach Bang Clear (Hondo). Hondo would also be acting as an AI alongside Reeder. Since this was invite only, the handpicked crew was free of douchebaggery but there was still the need to develop that “class bond” that I find usually happens around the end of Day 2. We were met at the gates by Joe Camarillo, the (deep breath) Community Outreach & Special Project Manager for the Arizona Sonora Western Heritage Foundation at Old Tucson. That is a really long title which means “the guy who knows absolutely everything about Old Tucson and the area.” Camarillo was extremely generous with his time and knowledge, and took us on a tour throughout all of Old Tucson. Joe Camarillo of Old Tucson, an amazing man and historian Part of expansive set of Old Tucson, our training ground Functional steam engine train at Old Tucson Freddy Osuna walks through Old Tucson to meet the class After the hour long tour, Osuna came to meet us and walked us to the area in the back of the town that would serve as our classroom and external spoor pits. An introduction to the class was given by Reeder, who was serving as an AI, and he gave us the history of how he and Osuna came to build their relationship back in 2004. Knowing that Reeder had been a tracking instructor in the military for many years, Osuna contacted him and stated that he wanted to do “something different” for the industry and promote the intricacies of “situational awareness” as well as “sensory awareness.” Osuna took over the class at this point and gave us a brief overview of what was to come. It was clear that teaching the art of tracking is not just a job for Osuna, it is a way to build a community of tracking knowledge, and that it is our responsibility to take this knowledge and share it with others, especially children where the information is being lost. He saw this firsthand in the Marines with new recruits, and he feels there is an overwhelming lack of SA in the modern institutionalized curriculum creating deficiencies in our soldiers and law enforcement officers. He takes very seriously his job to fill that gap so that our borders can be stronger, our fighters can have a distinct advantage, and our children can carry on this art. The room we were in was very well prepared with multiple variations of binoculars, stacks of books and reading materials including many from Osuna’s personal library. It was clear though that the classroom was only going to be a small portion of this course. There was a lot of material to cover in a short amount of time to get us proficient enough to engage in the urban track at the end of the course. We were immediately thrown into the mix by performing two drills: the “Nail Drill” and “Sensory Alley.” These drills established a baseline for our capabilities as individuals as well as a team. We would go through the same drills in a different location at the end of class to show distinct metrics on our improvement and to demonstrate what we had learned. Each drill presented a different set of challenges: the Nail Drill tested our ability to track with our eyes as the primary sense trying to find small nails along a semi-established trail, and Sensory Alley was an immersive experience fraught with tripwires, smells, and sounds testing the entirety of our sensory awareness. Having no idea what to expect, some of us did well, some not so well. I had absolutely no idea where I stacked. The Nail Drill One of the many trip wires used in the Sensory Alley Drill Finishing the drills and getting back into the classroom, Osuna took us through the scientific side of tracking. Discussing quite a bit of what was in his book covering topics of human sight and sensory awareness, different tracking methodologies and a few of his own experiences growing up Osuna is not one to tell war stories to illuminate his own presence. Instead every word is measured carefully to deliver utmost value. He was efficient and formal, wasting no time, but answering every question that was asked. It was here that I began to hone in on what it was about Osuna that differentiated him, but I still needed confirmation of my own theories. Freddy Osuna explains the anatomy of the eye and how we see We headed back outside to the spoor pits and listened intently as Osuna discussed mammal mechanics, testing us on identifying different types of game based on the indicators we saw in their tracks. We were tested on whether or not the animal was a Plantigrade, Digitigrade, or Ungulate, bipedal or quadripedal, nocturnal or diurnal. We developed awareness of how large or small the animal was and general characteristics of behavior. Osuna uses a progressive approach like many good instructors. (“Crawl, walk, run” would apply very well here, wouldn’t you say?). He believes that there are two mental files that we all keep: 1) SOPs – the tactics, procedures, techniques that are constantly evolving, and 2) Indicators – the visual references that are unique to the individual and continually grow in volume over time. The benefit of our time spent staring at animal tracks was to help us build our personal store of indicators developed only through experience. Osuna’s goal was to make us “…understand what you already know, faster.” He also stressed the importance of “contextual relevance” – our ability to place something someplace naturally. Should that bird song or insect noise be there? What about that overturned dirt? Is that garbage a part of the natural surroundings? Osuna’s goal was to make us “…understand what you already know, faster.” The direction of the sun is integral to a person’s ability to track. As we moved around the spoor pits we could see how easily tracks would “jump out” of the dirt based on light angle. The Arizona desert lighting can be brutal, but Osuna showed us methods to shape light by shading a track and then utilize a small signal mirror to provide increased contrast. Using this method, we could better understand the height of the track wall, size of the track floor, the primary impact point, the foot roll, and the terminal impact point. Osuna walked us through even more detailed indicators that would show us the age of the track and direction of travel. Freddy Osuna shows how to use a signal mirror to create contrast on an animal track An animal track that is shown by using a signal mirror to light an area of the ground that is shaded So here we were, not even at lunch on TD1, and I, along with the other guys in the class had just had our brain pants pulled down and had our minds blown. We had begun to gel as a team around the spoor pit, joking at how little we had seen in the world prior to this. The 5 of us immediately saw slight differences in the track and jumped at the chance to tell each other what we were seeing, thereby all contributing to our Indicators File. No need to wait until Day 2, the unit was starting to form. So here we were, not even at lunch on TD1, and I, along with the other guys in the class had just had our brain pants pulled down and had our minds blown. TD2 – Old Tucson & Intro to City Tracking Training Day 2 started in the classroom where we spent about 90 minutes finally introducing ourselves to each other more formally, providing our backgrounds, and how we work within the industry. I think we were all peripherally aware of each other’s businesses, but being able to explain in a no-pressure, non-salesy way allowed us all to focus on philosophy of WHY we do business. It was a great discussion. We debriefed TD1 and the collective agreement was that Tracking based on humility and sensory awareness was a refreshing and exciting approach to training, as we have all been inundated with the high-speed, go fast, uber tacti-bro methods out there. There is a simple satisfaction in tracking that becomes immediately addicting. Itching to get back to application based learning, it was back to the spoor pits to start putting together everything we had learned on TD1. An interesting exercise called the “Elephant Drill” had us differentiate 4 sets of human tracks that started and ended in different positions over a span of 5 yards or so. The intent was to hone the skills of determining Size, Shape, Type, Pattern, and Age of a track. This is where Tracking began to “click” for me. Having MANY more data points to decipher, I gave myself up to trusting the method and started searching for other indicators. It was almost unnatural how quickly I could now process information based on the techniques Osuna had explained to us the day before. Setting us up for the afternoon drills, Osuna taught the basics of using a tracking stick which to him is really a teaching crutch and should be used sparingly until the tracker can easily visualize distance and sweep angles on his own. Freddy Osuna teaching the use of a tracking stick during Grayside/Urban Tracking Each two man team (I was paired with Hondo) was given a set of tracks approximately 25-30 yards in length across a few varied surfaces. Our goal was to mark every single track regardless of how faint, by using all of the environmental indicators we could find. I found that the tracking stick was useful for the first few tracks, but once I knew what to look for, the track seemed to appear on it’s own and we moved quickly through the exercise. It was almost unnatural how quickly I could now process information based on the techniques Osuna had explained to us the day before. After lunch we knew we would be tested by tracking an individual throughout the entirety of Old Tucson. The twist? Doing so while Old Tucson was in full tourist mode with thousands of people milling about the town. Without giving away the farm, this first city track tested many things about us as a team: our communication, our abilities to track as individuals, our abilities to track as a unit, the need to reduce our appearance in the crowd and “blend,” and to deal with the fact that we wouldn’t be able to micro-track every step. We would need to tune in to everything at once and use all of our senses to find our quarry. Our starting point for the City Tracking Drill in Old Tucson The exercise was cut short after about an hour due to a few reasons. We were doing very well as a team using all of our techniques and had tracked our quarry to a very small area. A few of the local tourists however, for some reason or another (guilty conscience perhaps?) watched a few of us and became uneasy. It was very easy to spot this. Rather than cause any disturbance for Old Tucson who were incredibly gracious hosts, we moved back to the classroom for hydration and a quick debrief. We also had long distance tracks to cover and we wanted to get out into the brush. After the city exercise, we realized we needed to move and communicate better if we were to function as a pure unit. Osuna, Reeder, and Hondo stepped us through small unit formations specific to tracking, discussing the roles of the Team Leader (TL), the Tracker, the Flankers and the Rear Security. We would all continually rotate through the roles on the upcoming tracks. It became clear to me who were the natural leaders, the natural trackers, and the natural communicators. We were all strong in one area or another but supported each other for the betterment of the team. It was great to see this behavior. All alpha-male egos so commonplace in tactical training were non-existant in our group. The rest of the afternoon was spent tracking through the thick underbrush and wide open spaces of the Arizona desert. Yancey and Brandon following track indicators Yancey (TL) and Bobby (Tracker) working in the Arizona desert A personal highlight for me while working as the Tracker (my first time in the role), I was able to follow my quarry for about 1/2-3/4 of a mile from the beginning of the exercise (a partial boot print) to within 5 yards of the quarry when a flanker spotted him lying in dense brush. For me, it was like making a first shot bullseye with a handgun at 75 yards: something I have never done. As a team we just did everything right and it felt great. We performed a few more tracks, getting longer and more complex each time, culminating in the final drill of tracking Osuna himself at speed. During these exercises, the hawk-like overwatch of Osuna and the assistance of Reeder shaped our methods, tightened our communication, and made us an extremely solid team. David Reeder and Freddy Osuna watch the tracking teams from a distance Our confidence began to show and it was clear that the individual members of the team were believers in this method. Our discussions turned to the philosophy of the track, rather than just physical signs; the full sensory awareness, rather than just visual cues, and the importance of every role within the team to support the Tracker. I carefully watched Osuna when I knew he was within earshot and I could trace a barely perceptible smile across his face. We must be doing something right to elicit this from his normally stoic behavior. By the end of TD2, once again, our eyeballs were toasted. Each night during October, Old Tucson hosts Nightfall where the town turns into a Halloween theme park. But they serve adult beverages, so a few of us stuck around to people watch. Shenanigans may or may not have happened after several boots of beer. A boot full of beer. TD3 – Final Test: The Urban Track Shaking off the feelings of boot-beer-dehydration on the morning of Day 3, I was feeling a bit excited and more than a little nervous about the day’s final exams and the track through the urban territory of downtown Tucson. But that voice in my head just kept telling me to calm down, process everything around me, shut out extraneous thoughts and just give myself over to the track. Meeting at a local campground area just outside of Old Tucson, the team met and shot the shit while Osuna, Reeder, and Hondo setup a different Nail Drill and a longer, more complex Sensory Alley. We were taken through the drills one by one and again scored by Osuna. It was important that we were not given our scores so that he could tally them and decide if there was going to be an “Alpha Wolf” – someone that displayed high scores across all of the tests and demonstrated the qualities essential to embracing the spirit of tracking. We would all get a green Greenside Training Tshirt for attending the class, but only Osuna decides if someone is to be granted the black Alpha Wolf shirt – an honor given to fewer than 8 people during his time teaching. We put that out of our minds and concentrated on the task at hand. Rallying us up, Osuna briefed us on the mission: track a suspect through downtown Tucson based on a last known location and general behavior from intelligence gathered in the previous days. That’s what we had. Now go do it for real. Arriving downtown, we were told that there would be more people than usual in the area due to an outside festival in our AO. The degree of difficulty for this track just went up. We found our initial track at the last known location (a parking lot), determined our direction of travel and split into tracking teams of two while Osuna, Reeder, and Hondo were in a mobile command car monitoring our progress and acting as an intelligence hub as we captured information. Clues were found along the way to reinforce that we were tracking correctly, such as a playing card that didn’t fit in with the surrounding area. See above re: contextual relevancy. A playing card used as a “clue” and reinforcement that we were on the right track in downtown Tucson. 3 team members following tracks in the gravel along a railroad line in downtown Tucson. After about 90 minutes we found our quarry, but there were some significant lessons to be learned. Our communication as a team broke down almost immediately as the group splintered off with no real TL calling the shots. We all wanted to be the lead Tracker and in a situation like this, that needs to be governed by the TL which we had failed to clearly designate. Rob stepped up to the plate, but we had already moved into different locations. Cell phone service was difficult and I got separated from the team, so several times I would hold the last known location while the team searched for the next track. Adrenaline was high, communication and coordination was poor (even with the Instructors guiding us with new intel occasionally), but somehow we managed to finish the task by locating our quarry, master tracker Jim Grasky, just outside of a restaurant that was set up to be our lunch spot. Jim Grasky Osuna said on more than one occasion that Jim Grasky is his mentor and a legend in the tracking community. After Osuna introduced him to our team and spending a few moments with him, it is evident why Grasky is so highly regarded. His extraordinary resume includes being part of the Border Patrol for 25 years, founding BORTAC, the Border Patrol Tactical Unit, serving as a member of US Army Special Forces and as a Smokejumper Squadleader for the US Forest Service. That is scratching the surface. At 80 years old, Grasky moves with the speed and grace of a man half his age, but with the wisdom and quiet humility of a man that was born to track. Freddy Osuna and Jim Grasky Our small group sat and listened to Grasky patiently answer our questions, giving us insight to why and how he developed some of today’s modern tracking methods. At this point I was unsurprised at the fact that it came down to being in tune to your surroundings and not taking anything at face value. In the prior days, Osuna had instilled in us a better appreciation for quieting our minds, staying relentlessly curious, and having the patience to see what is not obvious. As we sat at lunch, laughing at our mistakes, discussing what we could have done better, I was busy trying to get some shots of Grasky handing out the not-for-purchase Greenside Training patches. It was an honor to shake that man’s hand and get a patch that, although a small slab of PVC, now means more to me than almost anything else in my collection. Jim Grasky handing out Greenside Training patches to student graduate Rob Anderson of US Palm As I was adjusting lenses and packing up gear, Osuna began discussing our scores on the tests individually and as a team. We had increased our scores by nearly 30% overall as a team between TD1 and TD3. He called my name and said that I would receive the “Alpha Wolf” shirt based on my scores on all of the tests. First, I was caught completely off guard by this as I felt like I had been an average performer at best during the week. But for me, the experience was not about scores, it was about strengthening a skill set. I was incredibly humbled to be given the shirt by Osuna, who once again shook my hand and looked me directly in the eye. That’s when I knew what it was that had hit me 3 days prior in Bisbee. I was looking at a wolf that had vetted me and decided to let me into the pack. Three days earlier, I was an unknown, a variable, and Osuna needed time to validate and judge my worthiness to be a Greenside Tracker. That started the moment he said, “Hi. Freddy Osuna.”. Freddy Osuna presenting me with the “Alpha Wolf” shirt. Photo courtesy of David Reeder The Alpha Wolf shirt and Greenside Training Patch. Both must be earned. The best part of the Urban Track was that Grasky took our group and backtracked his entire trip, showing us where he left indicators. There were several very minor (but important) tracks we had missed, but our techniques had been solid and we picked up the next prominent track that led us eventually to the end. He gave us an incredible amount of information in the 25 minute return trip to our vehicles and I consider that an invaluable part of the exercise. Jim Grasky working with the team during a backtrack of his route through Tucson Tracking at Night The last demonstration that Osuna gave us was at the end of TD3 in another location on the opposite side of Tucson. It was here that he would demonstrate Green Laser Index Tracking, GLINT, a method he developed to track quarry easily at night. Once again, Osuna reviewed the anatomy of the eye and how humans see in different lighting conditions. He discussed wavelengths and frequencies of different colored lights, and why some were more effective than others. He used a multicolored flashlight at the end of a trekking pole to show us red, green, blue, and white light and their effects on seeing a track. He showed us how tracks on some surfaces could be brought out clearly with UV light, but we all wanted to know when we could see the lasers. Who doesn’t love using lasers? Red light on a footprint during night tracking Ultraviolet light highlighting a track in white chalk Volumes can be written on this technique alone, so I will refer you once again Osuna’s book for more information, but the impact that it had on us was phenomenal. If there was registered seismic activity that night it was only because our jaws were hitting the ground at such an alarming rate. Freddy Osuna demonstrating the use of a green laser to determine track locations at night Using a good footprint, and determining the primary direction of travel, one can use the laser to estimate where all of the next tracks may be. In fact, the laser beam being broken by the “toe digs” of tracks clearly calls out where tracks have been laid. It is amazing to see, but that’s not even the coolest part. By oscillating the laser back and forth rapidly in a 30 degree arc, the tracks become immediately apparent even in complete darkness. We were nothing short of stunned when we saw the footprints come alive in the desert. This was the heart of GLINT. Using a green laser to indicate a track’s direction of travel and the “toe digs” Green laser highlighting a footprint during night tracking This demonstration really pulled together the 3 day course for me, indicating that by following solid fundamental techniques, applying knowledge of human behavior, connecting to the environment with all of your senses, and using a humble approach when utilizing non-standard tools – tracking is possible in any situation. Gear Shakeout For someone from the fluctuating and humid climate of the western mountains of Maine, the Arizona desert was like sitting in a kiln for 3 days. I am a big proponent of functional performance clothing and have noticed that a lot of my everyday wardrobe is made up of pieces by Vertx. I purchased some Phantom Ops with Airflow pants prior to the trip and wore them all three days. The mesh on the inside of the legs made a HUGE difference in temperature regulation of my lower half and allowed “the boys” to be comfortable all day. I wore a Vertx quarter-zip runner’s shirt on TD1 and even in 90+ degree heat, I never felt uncomfortable. Day 2 had me in a Columbia field guide shirt, and Day 3 was the Rugby shirt by Velocity Systems. Shoes were Adidas AX1 mid GTX hikers, socks were by Point6. But my favorite piece by far was my Vertx Gamut Plus pack. I thought that lugging all my photography gear (two bodies, 4 lenses, a tripod and monopod, as well as audio gear and accessories) around for three days would drain me, but the Gamut Plus was amazingly comfortable. Most of the guys were running smaller assault style packs, and the bag-whore in me really wants to learn more about the US Palm Gryphon and Draco packs, but the GP is my go-to for my photo gear. It will be very hard to sway me to move to something else. It was SOLID. Osuna is a predator. A wolf. He is far more comfortable outdoors than in the confines of a classroom. He is not a magician, a wizard, a Jedi, or any level of mystic. He focuses on what most of us today tend to push out of our lives: balance. Balance with nature, his surroundings, his relationships. His humility and sense that he is just a very small piece of an incomprehensibly large puzzle makes him standout in a world where most of us are struggling daily to gain attention. It is here the the Tracker’s spirit is differentiated. Trackers find harmony around them so that the world can speak to them and whisper secrets about their quarry that the regular din of everyday life normally drowns out. They seek to blend, to walk softly, to stay in the shadows. There is something in the eyes, almost far away, that conveys a sense that Osuna has seen more by looking at tracks than most of us ever hope to see. Many instructors or teachers that have been elevated to the top tiers in this industry demonstrate similar qualities – vast experience, the ability to learn from countless mistakes and convey those learnings to others, but most of all humility. Osuna stressed over and over the need for humility in a tracker, and this was not lip-service. There is a connection that Osuna has with his art of tracking that can only be described as spiritual. It is not just a “here are indicators, go find the guy” type of class. Osuna wants you to envelop the art of the track, drawing intelligence from all of your senses. Hearing insects go silent as you approach an area, looking for birds of prey circling potential quarry, feeling the ground beneath your feet indicate subconsciously the best direction of travel while you confirm with the track. Smelling the earth, the vegetation, the unnatural elements. These are all indicators to someone in tune with their environment. Osuna is a predator. A wolf…He is not a magician, a wizard, a Jedi, or any level of mystic. He focuses on what most of us today tend to push out of our lives: balance. I have heard the term “situational awareness” more times than I can count in the firearms classes I have taken, but no class has ever given me the appreciation of the term like this one. I have actually replaced Situational Awareness with Sensory Awareness because it better encompasses the true nature of what is needed for tracking. Though I’ve given quite a bit of detail here, I won’t give away all the specifics of the course. You’ll have to take it to find out and I promise you there is a LOT more that I did not cover. However, this course was not just a curriculum that was conveyed from teacher to student. It is a spirit, an art, a science, and a way of looking at the world around you. It is a connection to yourself and your teammates, supported by a desire to see what others cannot, and the humility to pass along that information. If you’re looking to start a journey towards tracking, after my experience here, I believe Freddy Osuna should be your guide.

__label__wiki	0.783164	0.783164	Search for a health related topic e.g. chlorthalidone, high blood pressure, amlodipine What are the common side effects of abatacept? The most common side effects of abatacept are headache, dizziness, cough, and upset stomach. People may also get more infections such as colds or bronchitis. Studies looked at people with RA taking abatacept. They compared them to similar people with RA taking a placebo. A placebo (sugar pill) does not contain any medicine. Studies use it to figure out what symptoms are actually due to medicine versus those that would occur normally. This table shows the most common side effects of abatacept found in these studies. Dizziness occurs in both RA study groups. Dizziness occurred in: 9 out of 100 people taking abatacept 7 out of 100 people taking a placebo So, 9 – 7 = 2 people. Dizziness may be due to abatacept in 2 out of 100 people. Less than 5 out of 100 get herpes simplex or pneumonia. Less than 1 person has other reactions to the IV, like itching or a rash, but these reactions are usually not serious. Between 5 and 13 people out of 100 get infections like an upper respiratory infection (URI), sinus infection, urinary tract infection, influenza, and bronchitis. These infections also happen to people who are not taking abatacept, but not quite as often. People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and people who have had a serious infection in the past may need to be more careful when taking abatacept. Some but not all studies suggest their risk of serious infections is higher. All medicines can cause side effects. All people react differently to medicines. As studies show, not everyone gets side effects from abatacept. Luckily, the most common side effects tend to be minor. Still, always talk to your doctor if you have concerns or experience side effects. Side effects may be few, but tell your doctor if they happen to you!

Too boring Too vague Too long Too confusing Did not answer my question See the Science Abatacept is administered intravenously or subcutaneously as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) either alone or in combination with other disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). In clinical trials, abatacept by either route was generally well tolerated compared to placebo with the most common side effects being headache, nasopharyngitis, dizziness, cough, back pain, hypertension, dyspepsia, urinary tract infection, rash, and pain in the extremities.1,2 The frequency of each is described in Table 1. Drug Information compiled in clinical trials (including open-label, non-placebo-controlled trials) before abatacept’s release reported the following side effects and their frequency:3 In a double-blind study that compared 232 patients taking abatacept plus methotrexate (MTX) with 227 taking MTX alone, Westhovens et al. reported the side effect profile was similar in both groups (84.8% vs 83.4%), suggesting that the addition of abatacept did not contribute significantly to the side effect profile.4 According to the manufacturer’s package insert, infections occurred more frequently in patients treated with abatacept (54%) compared to placebo-treated patients (48%) in placebo-controlled clinical trials.2 The most common infections (reported in 5% to 13% of abatacept users) were upper respiratory infection (URI), nasopharyngitis, sinusitis, urinary tract infections, influenza, and bronchitis. Infections that were reported in fewer than 5% of abatacept users were rhinitis, herpes simplex, and pneumonia. Infections were the most frequently cited reason for drug discontinuation or interruption.2 In a pooled analysis of eight clinical trials (total n= 4,149), the incidence rate of serious infections per 100 patient-years (PY) of exposure to intravenous abatacept was 2.87 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.57 – 3.19).5 The most common infection in this study was pneumonia. Patients with RA have a higher rate of infections than patients without RA. To better understand the infection rate in patients taking abatacept, Simon et al. reviewed rates of serious infection from seven abatacept clinical trials (n=6,089) and compared them to serious infection rates reported by RA patients taking other non-biologic DMARDS from six reference RA cohorts (n>133,000).6 The rate of infections that required hospitalization was higher among patients receiving abatacept (3.05 per 100 PY) compared to exposure to other DMARDS (2.15 per 100 PY), but the rate ratio was not statistically significant (rate ratio 1.42; 95% CI [0.82 – 2.45]). In the Orencia and Rheumatoid Arthritis registry (ORA), a five-year prospective registry of RA patients in France, the serious infection rate was slightly higher in the 976 patients treated with abatacept than had been reported in clinical trials (4.1 per 100 PY exposure).7 A serious infection was defined as one requiring hospitalization, intravenous antibiotics, or resulting in death. A previous history of serious infection was significantly associated with a higher risk of serious infection while taking abatacept (hazard ratio 1.94, 95% CI [1.18 – 3.20], p=0.009). In placebo-controlled clinical trials (n=1,955 treated for a median of 12 months), overall malignancy rates were similar between those people treated with abatacept (1.3%) and controls (1.1%).2 Four individuals taking abatacept in these trials developed lung cancer (0.2%) compared to none of those taking a placebo. In the cumulative clinical trials that included uncontrolled and open-label trials (n=2,688, 3,827 PY) eight instances (0.21 per 100 PY) of lung cancer and four lymphomas (0.10 per 100 PY) occurred in people taking abatacept. The lymphoma rate is 3.5 times the national rate for individuals of the same age and gender.2 However, people with RA are at higher risk of lung cancer and lymphoma compared to the general population.8 Simon et al. reported the standard incidence rate of lung cancer in patients with RA compared with the general population to be 1.63 (95% CI [1.43 – 1.87]), and for lymphoma to be 3.21 (95% CI [2.42 – 4.27]). The role of abatacept in the development of malignancy is not known.9 Infusion-Related and Hypersensitivity Reactions Infusion-related events, defined as adverse events that occur within an hour of starting an intravenous medication, were more common in people taking abatacept (9%) than placebo (6%) in three randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials.2 Between 1% and 2% of those given abatacept experienced dizziness, headache, or hypertension. Fewer than 1% experienced hypotension, dyspnea, nausea, flushing, urticaria, cough, hypersensitivity, pruritus, rash, or wheezing. Fewer than 1% discontinued abatacept because of an infusion-related event. Anaphylaxis following infusion with abatacept was rare (<0.1%). Other drug reactions that occurred within 24 hours of infusion including hypotension, urticaria, and dyspnea were uncommon (<1%). Weinblatt et al. pooled data from six abatacept clinical trials (n=3,755, 9,662 PY of exposure). The incidence rate of infusion-related events per 100 PY exposure to abatacept was 3.9.5 The events became less common with time, usually occurring within the first few months of treatment. Abatacept and COPD In clinical trials, people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who received abatacept had a higher frequency of adverse reactions (97%) including exacerbation of their COPD, pneumonia, cough, rhonchi, and shortness of breath, than people with COPD taking placebo (88%).2,3 Suissa et al., however, conducted a matched cohort trial and found no increased risk of respiratory events among patients with RA and COPD taking abatacept (n=1807) compared to those not taking abatacept (3547).10 Although the package insert recommends caution using abatacept in people with COPD and close monitoring of respiratory status, current data does not support an absolute or relative contraindication of abatacept among patients with RA and COPD.

It’s a 12 week course, with weekly lectures that are run by Ricky Nixon, and include special guests. Ricky’s course has been so popular that it has now been integrated into a university subject at Victoria University. [Show me the money, Ricky Nixon] Not only that, Ricky is pushing for the course to be mandatory to be completed for all agents who represent players in the AFL. He believes that through proper education, smarter, ethical agents will be running the lives of our professional athletes. What has been surprising is the amount of current footballers who are completing the course. Western Bulldogs player Brad Johnson has undertaken the study, and is considering being an agent after his career. With current players completing the course, this will allow them to improve how they are being represented. Cricket Riches So now the IPL auction is over and players are at their teams. As we saw Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni will be paid the richly sum of $1.5 million for competing for about a month and a half. To put this on a comparative scale, Dhoni would earn US$12 million for a year, putting him in the same league as top earners in basketball and soccer. But could this figure have been more? The IPL was set with a salary cap of $5 million, thus the bids for players had to be chosen wisely by teams. The question that is asked is that if there was no salary cap in place, would the figures of the circketers have been more or less? Competitive forces would have kicked into place and I think the figure could have been much higher. If the IPL turns out to a success, will the salary cap increase, and more importantly, will cricketers become the highest paid athletes in the world? [Will cricket outpay soccer?] Mayweather ready to rumble Floyd Mayweather Jr. has accomplished a lot in boxing, he’s even been on Dancing with the Stars, and now he’s adding another accomplishment to his resume. On March 30, in Florida, Floyd will be competing in Wrestlemania XXIV. And Mayweather will get $20 million for one match: against the Big Show. [Mayweather to get $20 million to wrestle] Mayweather will receive the same amount he normally gets for boxing fights, and I think I can see why WWE chose the move. Wrestling’s big events are a staple on pay-per-view, as are boxing. What the WWE are trying to do is bring fans of boxing over to WWE. The WWE don’t only see Mayweather as a fighter, but will realize the potential of him as a ‘brand’. It will be no surprise to see shirts, posters and other merchandise being available of the fighter. Show me the…friendship? As reported earlier Randy Moss re-signed with the New England Patriots for a further 3 years. Randy’s agent, Tim DiPiero believes he could have got more money. But Randy wasn’t all about the money. It was the relationships he created with the people at the team. [Patriots ‘intangibles’ helped Moss make his decision to stay] As Randy’s agent explains, sometimes people lose sight of the value of non-monetary factors. “Oftentimes, when people judge whether a contract is a success, they look at how much it’s worth. But there is more to life than just pure money,” DiPiero said, according to The Globe. “In this case, Randy experienced some intangibles during the year, from his friendships, to his relationship with the coaching staff and others in the organization. Those intangibles had some value here.” As ESPN further explains, Randy and coach Bill Belicheck had developed a mutual respect who are both heading towards a mutual goal.

He does handle some minor things still for Moss, however, and thus keeps Moss listed as a ‘client’ on his website. Insidetheleague.comsays: A couple things — — DiPiero’s been affiliated with Dante DiTrapano in the past, but DiTrapano, last I checked, was doing time in a prison in Florida after a coke party landed him and his wife in hot water. At that point, Moss figured he had enough problems of his own doing and didn’t need his attorneys making their own headlines and dumped him. However, DiPiero has always kind of been Moss’s guy with DiTrapano (they only have like 1-2 clients), so my guess is that DiPiero ‘took’ Moss to Bus, who of course was only too happy to have him, for maybe a point on future deals or whatever. So DiPiero maintains the relationship but gets to wash his hands of DiTrapano. — I don’t know DiPiero, but let’s be honest here — all this ‘friendship’ hogwash was just gamesmanship. He’s still a young enough guy that he’s trying to build a client base, and when you take less than market value for a guy (esp. post-Javon Walker), you better have a story ready if you want to stay in the business.
