Once you have been taking Lactobacillus acidophilus through yogurt made with Lactobacillus acidophilus or using Lactobacillus acidophilus supplements, the acidophilus bacteria should begin to implant themselves into your intestines. Once these bacteria have arrived in your digestive system and are established, it is important to ensure they grow and multiply in the colon. To ensure the Lactobacillus acidophilus living in your colon will thrive, you must ensure it gets the nutrients it requires to proliferate.
One main macro-nutrient Lactobacillus acidophilus requires to survive is sugar. Lactobacillus acidophilus metabolizes sugar to stay alive; therefore, sugar is the food Lactobacillus acidophilus will require to survive.
To get the essential sugars to the Lactobacillus acidophilus in the colon, sugars which are not completely digested by the digestive system must be ingested. One sugar that reaches the colon in large quantities is lactose, the sugar found in milk. Lactose is an important carbohydrate for Lactobacillus acidophilus, and should be ingested regularly to ensure the Lactobacillus acidophilus in your digestive system has the food it needs to proliferate.
In addition to requiring sugars to metabolize, Lactobacillus acidophilus also needs to be provided with amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. One comestible that contains the macro and micronutrients that Lactobacillus acidophilus needs is sweet dairy whey. The pH of whey is approximately 6.0 which makes it slightly acidic. Because whey is slightly acidic, it can help make the digestive system less conducive to the growth of harmful pathogens that prefer a more alkaline environment. Sweet edible-grade whey is comprised of approximately 60 percent lactose, 12 percent lactalbumin, and 11 percent minerals. Whey also contains anywhere from around 1 to 4 percent butter fat as well.
If you do not already know, whey is a byproduct of cheese making procedures. Most of the butter fat and casein protein in milk will become cheese, therefore whey does not have very high amounts of casein protein or butter fat.
Research indicates that the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus in the colon can be encouraged by simply ingesting lactose. In one study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), doses of 240 grams to 400 grams of lactose was shown to be effective at promoting Lactobacillus acidophilus colonization of the colon.
The Benefits of Whey Protein
The amino acids in whey protein have are readily assimilated by the body; whey amino acids have a bioavailability of 98%. Research has shown that whey protein is superior to many other types of protein in regards to the quality and bioavailability. The soluble protein lactoglobulins that are in whey are the same as those present in serum globulin in human blood. The primary soluble proteins in whey are beta-lactoglobulin, immunoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, and serum albumin.
Whey protein powders that have been processed in ways that do not denature the amino acids naturally present in whey can enhance the immune system's function. Whey protein powders provide amino acid precursors to to the critical antioxidant glutathione which is used in several ways by the body. Glutathione is important for lymphocyte function, is an antioxidant, and is a detoxifying agent at the cellular level.
Many whey protein powders do not contain any lactose and therefore will not do a very good job of bolstering Lactobacillus acidophilus that is present in the digestive system. Sweet edible-grade whey should therefore be mixed with whey protein isolates and ingested so the body can get the benefit of both.
Although a high protein diet is not good for individuals suffering from a kidney disorder of some kind, there is much scientific evidence that a high protein diet is not able to hurt individuals with healthy kidneys.

Butternut Squash Seed Oil
This oil is an all natural expeller pressed unrefined oil for cooking, flavouring or finishing. It is made from the first pressing of non-GMO butternut squash seeds harvested and sourced from a produce farm in central New York State. The seeds are roasted and pressed by WholeHeartFoods in the Finger Lakes Region of Geneva New York. This oil has a deep golden hue and a nutty buttery flavour reminiscent of cashew. It is high in healthy mono-and poly-unsaturated fats and is a rich source of vitamin E. This oil pairs well with fish, meat, and roasted vegetables and is a fun alternative to butter over popcorn, mashed potatoes, or polenta. With a smoke point of 425 degrees it is suitable for stir frying, roasting or grilling. | <urn:uuid:a8c9bf08-ac8c-4995-84be-48134768e811> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://unrefinedolive.com/products/butternut-squash-seed-oil | 2019-11-22T05:00:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496671239.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20191122042047-20191122070047-00408.warc.gz | en | 0.927419 | 171 |

Visitors peruse teaching materials available during the reopening of NASA Dryden's Educator Resource Center at the AERO Institute in the Palmdale Civic Center. (NASA / Tony Landis) To inform, educate and inspire.
Those are the key goals of NASA Dryden Flight Research Center's Educator Resource and Visitor Centers that were rededicated recently in Palmdale, Calif.
Now housed at the Aerospace Education Research and Operations – or AERO –Institute in the Palmdale Civic Center, the Educator Resource Center has a wealth of NASA educational materials available for teachers, informal educators and parents covering science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The adjacent visitor center, also known as the Aerospace Exploration Gallery, focuses on more informal educational displays and exhibits.
Officials of the City of Palmdale, NASA Dryden and the AERO Institute officiated at the formal reopening of the two centers, with an open house following the formal ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Katrina Emery, Dryden's education lead and NASA's University Research Center project manager, outlined the importance of the centers.
"Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are so vitally important to America's global competitiveness," she said. "Unfortunately, our students are falling behind in math and science when compared to our international counterparts. In fact, students' interest in STEM areas has eroded during the past several years. If this continues, we will not be able to meet our workforce needs in the future."
Maj. Gen. David Eichhorn, commander of the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwarxds Air Force Base, gets in front of the camera during a demonstration of NASA Dryden's interactive Digital Learning Network studio by DLN coordinator David Alexander. Gen. Eichhorn represented the AFFTC at the rededication of Dryden's Educator Resource and Visitor Centers at the AERO Institute in Palmdale. (NASA / Tony Landis) Emery noted that NASA will participate in "Summer of Innovation" events intended to inspire thousands of middle-school students and teachers in math- and science-based programs. The events support President Barack Obama's "Educate to Innovate" initiative aimed at closing the achievement gap in math and science.
"Though Dryden is known as the primary backup site for the space shuttle, the decade-old partnership with the AERO Institute has led to development of ways to inform and reach out to the public about Dryden's flight research work and its role in science missions, to inspire teachers and students in STEM subjects," said Gwen Young, NASA Dryden's associate director for management.
"We have a special packet for teachers. We love giving them stuff, as much as they can carry – because when we give that information to teachers we know we are reaching 35 to 40 kids, if not more," Young said.
Palmdale Mayor Jim Ledford said the NASA facilities in Palmdale help the city, provide fertile ground for recruitment and show students the possibilities in math and science careers that "allow their imaginations to soar."
"Here are resources that are available for free to help teachers inspire students in math and science. It is our charge. It is our goal. It's something in which we cannot fail," Ledford said.
Cecilia Cordova, NASA Dryden's informal education program manager, said the visitor center / exploration gallery will soon open with regularly scheduled days and hours.
Visitors take note of a variety of displays and exhibits during an open house at NASA Dryden's visitor center in the AERO Institute in Palmdale. (NASA / Tony Landis) "I hope that when you visit, you will see the vision I am trying to create there – more experiential learning," Cordova said.
"The Educator Resource Center is a demonstration of our commitment to not only provide tools that enable students to succeed in the STEM disciplines, but to elevate teachers and emphasize the significant role they play in that success," said Russ Billings, AERO Institute pre-college program manager. "Teaching is a very daunting task, especially now with the changes in the state budgets. We see valuable opportunities to impact kids' lives through teachers, and NASA has a renewed commitment to partner with educators to develop new student programs and tap into those that already exist," he said.
Monthly workshops are held by Dryden ERC coordinator Sarah Cutts at the ERC to train teachers how to access and use NASA education materials. The center is now open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Teachers of students from kindergarten through high school can find lessons on myriad topics, she said. | <urn:uuid:6d14fdbc-6f9c-4fde-b975-b1aa8784f91a> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/education/erc_visitors_center_reopens.html | 2016-07-23T19:17:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257823387.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071023-00025-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946687 | 961 |

I don't think it's good practice to use the njs module for
a compression or any other heavy-math calculations.

This new edition of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3 unites both works for the first time in a single score. In addition to a difficult-to-find version of Tchaikovsky's original Piano Concerto No. 2 in G major, this edition features Alexander Siloti's suggested revisions. Although Siloti had the composer's permission to edit the work, he significantly shortened the second movement despite Tchaikovsky's objections, and published the concerto with his own revisions after the composer's untimely death. Piano Concerto No. 2 is usually performed with Siloti's cuts; this edition offers performers both versions.
Originally intended as a symphony, the Piano Concerto No. 3 in E-flat major was published as a one-movement work. The piece contains a massive piano cadenza of striking virtuosity, surpassing even that of the Piano Concerto No. 1 in both brilliance and difficulty. Pianists will appreciate this comprehensive and modestly priced two-piano edition of two major romantic virtuoso works.

You may need to edit an image many times. For instance, you may have to remove the background from an image, add a border around an image or apply rounded corners to an image. No matter how you want to modify an image, you will need to use a standalone image editor software like Photoshop or Gimp for it.
But if you need to edit only a couple of images or if you use an image editor rarely, then its not a good idea to install resource heavy image editor software on your computer. You can use an online image editor software to edit images easily. Online image editors are as powerful as Photoshop or Gimp, and they are free to use.
• Photoshop Express: If you are familiar with Photoshop, then Photoshop express is an exact online version of Photoshop. Photoshop express is free to use but you need to register a free account to start using it. You get 2GB storage free with the account and you can upgrade to premium plans if you need more storage space.
• Pixlr: An online image editor that is very similar to Photoshop. It includes some advanced features like image filters, which even the online version of Photoshop lack. You can start using pixlr image editor immediately without any registration.
• FotoFlexer: Very easy to use online image editor, just upload the photo you want to edit by clicking the big upload button and start editing. Its not a full-fledged image editor like Photoshop Express or Pixlr, but it lets you do the most basic image editing tasks like cropping, re-sizing, and also lets you apply various effects on the photos like applying a cool border, fixing the red eye etc.
• Aviary: A newcomer, but an advanced online image editor. It lets you upload an image from your computer to edit. You can also import images from your social accounts like Facebook or Flickr. A great feature of Aviary is that it supports layers, like Photoshop. The only disadvantage with this tool is that it adds a small watermark on the edited image. You need to upgrade to premium plans if you don’t want a watermark.
• Picnik: Just like FotoFlexer, this online image editor tool lets you do basic editing tasks on images like, rotation, cropping, re-sizing, changing colors, brightness and contrast etc. It also has a auto-fix button which fixes common issues with images automatically.
• Splashup: Another online image editor with advanced features like filters, blending options, layers etc. You can also edit multiple images simultaneously with this tool. It also supports all the basic image editing tasks, so worth a try.
• Pixenate.com: Its a different type of online image editor as it provides tools for specific image re-touching tasks. You can fix red eye, brighten your skin color, or make your teeth more white with this tool easily.
There are some more online image editors like online-image-editor.com, imageeditor.net, snipshot.com. These tools provides basic image editing features but don’t have any unique feature like the tools mentioned above.

Happy National Orgasm Day!
A day that cums but once a year and always has a Happy Ending.
But, while you may already be familiar with certain orgasm facts – they last anywhere between five and 22 seconds and release oxytocin and prolactin – there are others you may have missed.
Here’s 21 things you never knew about orgasms.
1. Birthgasms are a thing
Some women have orgasmed while giving birth.
Which, when you think of all the other things – crapping yourself, vaginal tears – is hardly the worst thing that could happen.
2. Semen moves faster than Usain Bolt
At 28 miles per hour ejaculation is speedier than the fastest man on earth who, at his peak has reached 27.79mph.
3. Cum keeps you young
People who orgasm four or more times a week look up to seven years younger according to one study.
4. Porn shoots have been known to use hand soap or pina colada mix as fake semen
If you like Pina Colada…
5. Orgasms are just swell
The word ‘orgasm’ is from the Greek ‘orgasmos,’ meaning ‘to swell or be excited’.
6. Some men spontaneously ejaculate when they’re anxious
7. Coregasms are a thing
Certain abs moves and pull-ups can apparently induce orgasms in some people.
8. Nipplegasms are a thing
About 1 per cent of women can orgasm from breast stimulation alone.
9. Boregasms are a thing
As in, if you’ve got nothing else to do it’s apparently possible to induce an orgasm using only the power of your mind.
10. All kinds of other random things can induce orgasm
Everything from meditation, reading and eating to urination, foot play, and breast-feeding can get you off, according to one study.
11. At it like rabbits
No one knows for sure if female animals orgasm although it’s suspected rabbits and ferrets do.
12. The record for most female orgasms in one masturbation session was apparently achieved by a London woman in 2006
How many? Forty-nine. Was there was nothing on Netflix?
13. Some women faint when they orgasm
A compliment or a curse?
14. Most women don’t orgasm through penetrative sex alone
About 70 per cent of women don’t climax during the main event, which is why foreplay and clitoral stimulation is so important.
15. Paws for thought
Doggie-style is one of the best ways positions for women hoping to climax because it stimulates both the clitoris and G-spot.
16. Nearly a third of men have faked an orgasm (ie haven’t ejaculated but acted like they have)
According to a University of Kansas study, 28 per cent of men fake it. Meanwhile, male orgasm usually coincides with ejaculation, but not always.
17. Two thirds of women have experienced a multiple orgasm
According to the LELO global sex survey.
18. When men cum they produce about one teaspoonful of semen
Brings new meaning to spooning
19. Masturbation is not only one of the easiest ways for a woman to achieve orgasm – but it can also cure menstrual cramps
Yes, riding solo can rid you of period pains.
20. Cumming is like shooting up heroin
When men orgasm the ventral tegmental area of your brain, filled with receptors for neurotransmitters associated with reward, lights up.
The same region is stimulated when drug users get their fix.
21. Orgasms can cure or ease migraines and headaches
Sexual healing. One study revealed one in five sufferers were left with no pain at all after sex. | <urn:uuid:9651e017-fee6-4678-a474-79dcd089906a> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://metro.co.uk/2015/07/31/21-things-you-never-knew-about-orgasms-5316902/ | 2016-09-27T15:42:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738661123.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173741-00242-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926827 | 808 |

At Lucios, we have a growing concern in encouraging a conciliatory approach between our economic activity and social responsibility. We know that it is as important to be aware to what of happening inside the company, as to what occurs around it. This attention to our surroundings begins with creating employment, both direct and indirect, with the integration of recent graduates in the work market and with the acceptance of several internships, with the assurance of continuous equality opportunities.
From early on, we have sought to involve our workers in several activities, both professional and personal, both motivational and of awareness. It is important that we all have the same awareness of the opportunities and difficulties, and that with that knowledge we can build a better and fairer world.
Internally, we have developed recreational and debate activities, where employees share their ideas and opinions, and where families have a special place. We are concerned with contributing to the welfare of all, for example with the Seasonal Flu Vaccination Program or the introduction of healthy eating habits, through the offer of fresh fruit in the company.
This involvement with local communities is extended to other activities, such is the case of campaigns for the collection of clothes, food and toys, and the support of non-profit institutions, specifically in projects that support children, underprivileged families and bearers of disabilities. In speaking of social responsibility, we are also talking about education.
On a regular basis, we promote the know-how of our activity with schools and universities, with which we maintain a very close and active relationship, opening our doors to their students. We also give awards that aim at celebrating the excellence and effort of those who study. We believe that this involvement might not change the world, making it equal and fair, but we trust that it will help build a better world. | <urn:uuid:e89d2c71-542d-4bbb-a968-5546040510a2> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://lucios.pt/en/civil-responsibility | 2017-04-28T18:03:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917123046.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031203-00157-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974429 | 368 |
The reigning queen of pop, Beyoncé, has shared the music video for "Sorry," a track from her 2016 album, Lemonade. Watch it above, courtesy of Beyonce's YouTube.
This music video is identical to what was released on the visual version of the album, which was originally released on HBO and is now available on Tidal. The black-and-white clip features tennis superstar Serena Williams twerking, and a party bus with a stripper pole full of women. We also see Beyoncé posed as an Egyptian queen, which is nothing new from the Houston diva who has long portrayed herself as African royalty.
“Sorry” has become the song that has stirred up the most controversy from the album, with lyrics referencing her husband's infidelity and the final line, “Better call Becky with the good hair,” being interpreted as a dig directed at Jay Z's alleged mistress Rachel Roy (not to be confused with Rachel Ray). Regardless of the controversy, this is a great song that pushes the envelope in terms of creativity as well as explicit language in pop music.

Indian gov didn't do anything. What are you going on about? They had him under tight surveillance and he 'slipped' through. Look at the damn article.
You have serious blinders on for your sense of yanqui super povvah status in the current world. Here is my too cents before I move on, if what you say is so great about American citizenship why would someone like Snowden and others I mentioned above in the yanqui hall of fame would defect ?, America is a declining super power and you would be suprised how many americans believe in american dream. It is your wet dream like you have been abusing Indian soldiers and martyrs earlier, if you engage in serious analysis not like your friends in deep state who could not find zilch about pokhran tests and were caught pants down and how they produced Iraqi WMD theory out of the where sun never shines that such have been legendary shining stars that shows your glory across globe you will find that truth is not what you suggested.
I am posting this summary based on my reading of the book "Escape to nowhere" by Amar Bhushan of whatever my old memory could recall (RAW officer in charge of the investigation of this espionage case and who caught this ********) he has mentioned day by day update of how he was caught, how he got investigated and how he managed to escape :
During his stint at the head of the agency's South-East Asia division, Rabinder continued to seek information from other departments within the agency. This conduct aroused the suspicions of at least one mid-ranking official within the organization, S Chandrasekhar, who alerted the agency's counter-intelligence wing in January 2004. Rabinder was placed under intensive surveillance by the CIW for nearly four months. There is day by day encounter on how things were squeezed and important reports were taken away from his access, if you read the book you will find his that his daily routine was to do social engineering and get information from other guys and then copy every report that he got form other colleagues for their massa masters .Once the suspicion was confirmed his house and office were bugged and The investigation was carried on for long because idea was to get to bottom of the ring and get as many guys as possible that Amar Bhushan writes ones of the the reason for not letting him behind bars sooner than desired. He writes once you catch mole he is useless you can devise the strategy to nullify him, however idea behind such operation is to get really people behind the scenes and for that you have to wait.
Once it was confirmed he used to work for usa and operated out of Nepal whose handler was David Vacala,( who as per this report now works for a Florida-based intelligence and defence services training company).Even Rabinder knew something was wrong and was very worried based on the observation of him in office and home but could not/did not stop making copies since he had to make money(or do as his handlers asked) and could not nail out the exact thing wrong. There were also drill done to check the bags of people going home and removing anything they took home, his bags were returned after removing agency documents everyday since the investigation progressed just to show that it was done for everyone.It is here important to put one more thing about his personal life, his wife was a high maintenance lady and her expenses were legendary so I see no exception that guy did it for money. It is also interesting on how he gave prep talks to his kids to love the motherland and all (based on recordings of his calls to kids) and live a respectable and honorable life. He had a cousin (a lady) could not recall a name but was part of massa deep state who had a role in his recruitment too.
The story on how he came to know ,Amar Bhushan claims that he was alerted by insider that was to be arrested next morning, there were guys that waited outside his home and was watched but he disguised as his friends who visited him and slipped away in their car for the dinner. He took away the computer through which he used to upload these documents.
Rabinder Singh successfully escaped because certain senior officials in the agency and government were complicit in his getaway. The NSA asked then R&AW chief CD Sahay not to arrest Rabinder Singh because he claimed an adverse impact on the Lok Sabha elections, held between April 20 and May 10, 2004 (Again utter bull crap) . Alerted by the surveillance, Rabinder and his wife Parminder slipped away to Nepal to their handler (or conduit) David Vacala. Vacala made a mistake by booking hotel rooms in Nepalganj in his own name and subsequently, flight tickets purchased for Rabinder Singh and his wife were also billed to his address at the US embassy in Kathmandu. Here theywere put up at a CIA safe house the couple were given new passports that showed them to be US citizens 'Rajpal Prasad Sharma' and 'Deepa Kumar Sharma' in Nepal as they boarded a flight from Kathmandu to Washington on May 5, 2004 Singh (and not 7 May as quoted in the first post article). NSA brajesh Mishra makes me womit, he was utter sold out there are many the stories of about his parties in nyc with strippers available on the net .
Regarding his recruitment his recruitment stems from US agency's failure of the CIA to detect India's 1998 Pokharan nuclear tests. The CIA, heavily reliant on technical intelligence for picking up signs of activity at test sites, then declared its intent to 'recruit agents in every field and department of the Indian government'. Interestingly in another book by RK Yadav (Mission RAW) he quotes another reason as mole by the CIA had to do with the US spy agency's need for intelligence in the run-up to the March 2003 invasion on Saddam Hussein's Iraq.'Operation Iraqi Freedom' was preceded by a year-long campaign where the US built up world opinion that Saddam Hussain's alleged development of nuclear and biological weapons and proximity to Al Qaeda made him a threat to the US. This was around the time, Yadav says, Rabinder Singh was on a 'spying spree' inside R&AW headquarters and worked for unspecified amounts of money which his handlers paid him.
Its funny because even after recruiting such talent see-aye-yeah cooked up a story about Iraq which is now legend. Once he escaped, through Nepal sources RAW put all pieces in puzzle. His escape was truly to nowhere as claimed in the book he was left in the sun with no monies coming, once the cover was blown on where he was hiding massa could not give him asylum. He was sidelined like so many massa spies in Russia living like an animal so to claim that he lived a prosperous live in Lala land and died peacefully is bull, this is from Open source information from guys who were directly involved with the case unless you have better sources to refute I would keep your feelings, your supremacy crap and understanding of patriotism of Indians to yourself. | <urn:uuid:f504dc99-d83b-470c-8ded-cf5c9f91ed2e> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://forums.bharat-rakshak.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&p=2282727&sid=4dbfa5a01af218271d9d748c0f8b57dc | 2022-05-29T04:40:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652663039492.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220529041832-20220529071832-00205.warc.gz | en | 0.990697 | 1,496 |
Nevada receives less rain than any other state, and is the driest.
Rainfall in the southeastern part of the state averages only about 4 inches (10 cm) a year.
But Nevada has plenty of water in Lake Mead, which stretches for about 115 miles (185 km), one of the largest artificially created lakes in the world.
Lake Mead was formed when the Hoover Dam was built on the Colorado River at the Nevada-Arizona border, east of Las Vegas, in the 1930s.
It is the highest concrete arch dam in the nation, rising 726 feet (221 m).
A power plant at the dam generates electricity for Arizona, California, and Nevada.
Nevada’s scarce waters are home to several species of rare fish.
They include the cui-ui, found only in Pyramid Lake, and the Devils Hole pupfish, found only in Devils Hole. | <urn:uuid:eb19d792-0085-41e4-86cc-e03df78c4220> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://superbeefy.com/what-is-the-driest-state-in-the-united-states-and-how-much-rain-does-nevada-get-a-year/ | 2016-10-22T05:16:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718426.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00296-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959742 | 184 |

When it comes to managing and retaining talent, sometimes the best strategy is the easiest and simplest to execute.
That's the takeaway from new Gallup research that found that, "in their search for new ideas and approaches, organizations could be overlooking one of the most easily executed strategies: employee recognition."
According to Gallup's analysis, only one in three U.S. workers strongly agree that they received recognition or praise for doing good work in the past seven days. "At any given company, it's not uncommon for employees to feel that their best efforts are routinely ignored," Gallup says. "Further, employees who do not feel adequately recognized are twice as likely to say they'll quit in the next year."
The Power of Employee Recognition
This element of engagement and performance might be one of the greatest missed opportunities for leaders and managers.
The analysis by Gallup touches on a lot of different workplace areas that recognition can support, including employee engagement, motivation., loyalty, and company culture. As the analysis of the survey data points out:
Workplace recognition motivates, provides a sense of accomplishment and makes employees feel valued for their work. Recognition not only boosts individual employee engagement, but it also has been found to increase productivity and loyalty to the company, leading to higher retention.
Beyond communicating appreciation and providing motivation to the recognized employee, the act of recognition also sends messages to other employees about what success looks like. In this way, recognition is both a tool for personal reward and an opportunity to reinforce the desired culture of the organization to other employees."
And in case you think that employee recognition is a costly and time-consuming managerial endeavor, Gallup's data reveals "that the most effective recognition is honest, authentic and individualized to how each employee wants to be recognized. Acknowledging employees' best work can be a low-cost endeavor -- it can be as small as a personal note or a thank-you card. But the key is to know what makes it meaningful and memorable for the employee, and who is doing the recognizing."
Where Meaningful Recognition Comes From
When respondents were asked to recall who gave them their most meaningful and in a recent Gallup workplace survey, employees were asked to recall who gave them their "most meaningful and memorable recognition," it broke down like this:
- The employee's manager -- 28 percent;
- A high-level leader or CEO -- 24 percent;
- The manager's manager -- 12 percent;
- A customer -- 10 percent; and,
- Peers -- 9 percent.
Also worth mentioning: 17 percent of those surveyed cited "other" as the source of their most memorable recognition.
Gallup points out something that should resonate with executives and top management: Employees REALLY remember when they are recognized by managers at the highest levels.
As the survey shows, nearly one-quarter of those who responded said that their most memorable recognition came from a high-level leader or CEO. And as the analysis noted,
Employees will remember personal feedback from the CEO -- even a small amount of time a high-ranking leader takes to show appreciation can yield a positive impression on an employee. In fact, acknowledgment from a CEO could become a career highlight."
What Employees Remember Most
Gallup also asked about what types of recognition were the most memorable, respondents emphasized six methods in particular:
- Public recognition or acknowledgment via an award, certificate or commendation.
- Private recognition from a boss, peer or customer.
- Receiving or obtaining a high level of achievement through evaluations or reviews.
- A promotion or an increase in scope of work or responsibility to show trust.
- A monetary award such as a trip, prize or pay increase.
- Personal satisfaction or pride in work.
You Can Never Give Too Much Recognition
My take: Gallup's research makes this crystal clear, but managers hold the key to employee retention anf engagement. The more they let workers know when they're doing a good job, the better the employee does. It's a circular system that builds on itself, and it doesn't take a lot of money to make it powerful and meaningful for those who work for you.
But, it also shows that managers and executives need to be engaged and working constantly to recognize employees. This is where the theory of "management by walking around" comes into play, yet far too many managers fail when it comes to interacting with those who work for them. From everything I've read, and observed first-hand from those I have managed, you can't connect with people enough. The more you do it, and the more you tell them when they are doing well, the better they perform.
Yes, it's a simple formula that a lot more managers need to embrace, and Gallup's analysis underlines this as well:
Great managers know that they can never give too much recognition as long as it's honest and deserved. Acknowledging an employee's best work goes a long way toward making him or her feel valued and can lead to other desirable workplace outcomes." | <urn:uuid:5af9fe6f-f572-4ef4-8e90-3a7a34b83e1f> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://www.checkster.com/blog/2016/07/15/your-most-effective-retention-and-talent-management-strategy-may-be-simpler-than-you-think | 2018-10-17T10:48:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583511122.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20181017090419-20181017111919-00448.warc.gz | en | 0.96972 | 1,026 |

The FCC has issued an order requiring all public safety agencies to migrate their operating systems below 512 MHz to systems based on 12.5 kHz narrowband channels by 2013. The FCC’s order will affect planning, new equipment purchases, and new systems procured in the timeframe leading up to that date.
We all know it is essential first responders be able to communicate to do their jobs effectively. Following are the latest offerings from industry leaders in radios for public safety use. EF JOHNSON www.efjohnson.com
EFJohnson’s ATLAS™ P25 Systems Solution was recently selected as a 2011 Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) “Hot Product.” The company unveiled ATLAS at the APCO International Conference and Expo (APCO) last August in Philadelphia, and the system immediately received praise from conference participants and industry editors for its innovative distributed architecture, flexibility and low cost.
The fully distributed architecture, a distinctive feature of the ATLAS Systems Solution, eliminates the need for a central controller. This substantially increases system reliability and makes it easy to scale from a single site to a state-wide network.
In addition, the ATLAS P25 Systems Solution is the first and only system in the industry with the ability to combine conventional and trunking into one system, creating a “hybrid” that is completely tailored to a customer’s unique environment.
It introduces simulcast capability for both conventional and trunking systems. ATLAS also offers a complete Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system solution to all public safety VHF, UHF and 700/800 frequency bands, making it a cost efficient option for agencies seeking to comply with the FCC narrowbanding mandates. The software-based system allows for future system enhancements, such as P25 Phase II.
EFJohnson’s ATLAS P25 systems bridge multiple system and protocol types in a software-configurable gateway solution. With this native IP solution, users and talk-groups can roam seamlessly between conventional and trunked P25 sites. ATLAS equipment boasts low power consumption, small size, the ability to operate both conventional and trunking on the same repeater, and simulcast capabilities. “This seems to me to be a step toward interoperability for many users,” said one reviewer.

According to Steve Cragg, President, Tait Americas, “2012 will bring an assortment of challenges for public safety agencies, some of which are real concerns with compelling timelines and others that are being encouraged by the market wishing to capitalize on still flowing grant funding.”
For agencies operating in the VHF/UHF 150-174 MHz and 421-512 MHz frequency range, to which the January 2013 narrowband mandate applies, finding a capable partner late in 2012 will become increasingly difficult as demand outruns supply. Only a few companies will be able to provide the resources needed for a complete turn-key solution that brings an agency into compliance. Compliance may simply involve network tuning, but may include a wholesale exchange of the infrastructure and the devices it supports. “Agencies should consult with someone they trust early in the year and work up a basic gap analysis that identifies near-term hurdles and the best way to get over them,” Cragg continued. For agencies that are not subject to the January 2013 12.5 MHz mandate, time affords more thought to be invested around the speed at which new technology is adopted and the reasons for doing so. Agencies with ample spectrum, no looming mandate, but a healthy supply of grant funding may be too quick to purchase the absolute newest technology in an effort to future-proof, possibly finding their support staff and processes unable to adapt. Investing in current, proven technology with a clear understanding and commitment from the provider regarding the technical and commercial aspects of a future migration, should it become necessary, may be the best dollar spent.
Cragg said discussions regarding the need to service mobile broadband applications will increase in frequency and intensity in 2012 as agencies look to keep workforce productivity, safety and response levels high while available resources decline. Agencies fortunate enough to be operating in metropolitan areas where commercial wireless coverage levels are high will experiment with small Long Term Evolution (LTE) deployments. For the next few years, the deployments will support non-mission critical applications and will become a technical and operational proving ground as agencies work out the overall cost-benefit of commercial broadband. Agencies in less densely populated areas that wish to achieve the same efficiency gains as their metropolitan brethren will continue to use data cards in vehicles and be subject to spotty coverage and rising data plan rates. The mismatch in what commercial wireless networks provide and the needs of mission critical operations will put positive pressure on radio manufacturers to bring viable alternatives to market in the next 18 to 24 months. In-vehicle, multi-bearer radio systems capable of handing-off and/or buffering data streams between LTE, WiFi, and LMR networks will initially help fill the commercial network gaps. Radio manufacturers with significant experience in designing and deploying network infrastructure will continue to innovate and bring to market all the necessary components that will allow agencies to build and maintain a private broadband network. The challenge at that point in time will be an agency’s ability to leverage the combined knowledge of its RF and IT resources, Cragg said.
“Tait Radio Communications is poised to assist in helping agencies through all the aforementioned challenges. Individuals who choose Tait are independent thinkers who understand the value of operating in a best-of-breed, multi-vendor, open standards environment,” Cragg stated.

Helping to shape a new college
- Published: July 29, 2010
Gariot Louima never intended to live in Ohio. In fact, he’d never been to Ohio before coming to interview for the position of director of communications at the newly-revived Antioch College. When he told his sister, who like him had grown up in the Haitian community in Miami, Florida, about the interview, she asked him if there were any black people in the state.
He didn’t know the answer to her question, Louima said in a recent interview. But he was game to find out.
During his job interview, Antioch College leaders, along with the story of the college’s revival, won him over, and ultimately he took the job. He wants to feel a sense of mission, Louima said, and this job feels meaningful.
“As a journalist and a storyteller, I love the college story,” he said.
He was also charmed by Yellow Springs, and, when he visited for the job interview, found himself easily chatting with other patrons when he had dinner at the Trail Tavern.
“I said, I think I can do this,” Louima said of deciding to move for the job.
In May Louima began his new position, in which he oversees the college’s media relations and most college publications.
At age 31, he already has a solid dose of journalism behind him. After graduating with a bachelors in journalism and creative writing from the University of Miami, he already had interned for the Los Angeles Times. He next wrote about Haitian-American affairs for the Palm Beach Post, along the way brushing up on his Creole, which his parents had spoken at their home when he grew up, especially, he remembered, when he was being punished.
When Louima’s father died in 2002, he moved back into the family home to give his mother company, shifting his career to public relations for a local college, along with teaching a few classes. During that time he also completed a masters in management, which he followed with pursuing a masters in creative writing from Bennington College, which he recently finished. His first love is writing fiction, he said.
Like all good fiction writers, Louima writes about what he knows, and that means writing about his experience growing up in Miami’s Little Haiti. He didn’t know his family was poor at the time, he said, but he realizes it now. But his parents — his mom was a housekeeper and his dad a janitor — provided a stable and loving home, and he is close to his family.
And the family ties to Haiti, and the village north of Port-au-Prince where his parents grew up, remain strong. He feels fortunate that no family members were lost in this year’s devastating earthquake, although some lost their homes and two cousins were injured. His mother was very distressed that two weeks passed before she heard news of her sister, but his aunt turned out to be fine.
While his parents weren’t highly educated, they emphasized the value of education and had come to the United States to give their children the opportunity to become professionals, Louima said. And because he has written stories as long as he can remember, writing seemed a natural professional choice.
Doing public relations for the new Antioch College, he feels fortunate that he doesn’t have to work hard to engage the alumni — they’re already engaged. His job as he sees it is to make information available in the most accurate way that he can.
“We just have to be honest and get the story out,” he said.
There’s a shared passion among his colleagues at his new job and that passion adds to his enthusiasm.
“There’s the excitment of every day being a new day, and getting to create something new,” he said. “I feel privileged to come in at the ground level and to help shape” the new college. | <urn:uuid:de0f7f6a-07bd-492b-8a49-6914ef716194> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://ysnews.com/news/2010/07/helping-to-shape-a-new-college | 2017-01-19T00:11:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280410.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00554-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.992481 | 845 |
Derby City Council cuts mean more job losses
More than 250 job cuts have been announced by Derby City Council in a bid to save £79m in three years.
Unveiling next year's budget, the Labour-led authority said the 256 cuts were the "toughest" in the city's history.
The council said it has to save £22m in the next financial year but £11m of savings have already been identified.
Ranjit Banwait, the leader of the authority, said the job losses were a "tragedy".
"The budget proposal that we're putting to the people of Derby is about the future of public services in our great city," he said.
"We are looking at some stage in the near future at the end of most of our public services unless we get a fair deal for Derby.
"Job losses are a tragedy, we're making decisions that under normal circumstances we wouldn't want to make."
Other proposals include the closure of Moorways swimming pool, in the Allenton area of the city, and less money going to housing support and the voluntary sector.
However, about £10m has been earmarked for social housing improvements in 2017/18.
The city council has lost 1,388 full-time employees since spending cuts took effect in 2010. | <urn:uuid:1fc30da1-abc1-41a0-91fd-5ff3bc189f2d> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-derbyshire-30306792 | 2017-10-24T06:10:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187828178.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20171024052836-20171024072836-00162.warc.gz | en | 0.98478 | 272 |
Elizabeth B. Pinson shares with us her memories of Alaska's emergence into a new and modern era, bearing witness to history in the early twentieth century as she recalls it. She draws us into her world as a young girl of mixed ethnicity, with a mother whose Eskimo family had resided on the Seward Peninsula for generations and a father of German heritage. Growing up in and near the tiny village of Teller on the Bering Strait, Elizabeth at the age of six, despite a harrowing, long midwinter sled ride to rescue her, lost both her legs to frostbite when her grandparents, with whom she was spending the winter in their traditional Eskimo home, died in the 1918 influenza epidemic.
Fitted with artificial legs financed by an eastern benefactor, Elizabeth kept journals of her struggles, triumphs, and adventures, recording her impressions of the changing world around her and experiences with the motley characters she met. These included Roald Amundsen, whose dirigible landed in Teller after crossing the Arctic Circle; the ill-fated 1921 British colonists of Wrangel Island in the Arctic; trading ship captains and crews; prospectors; doomed aviators; and native reindeer herders. Elizabeth moved on to boarding school, marriage, and the state of Washington, where she compiled her records into this memoir and where, now in her 90s, she lives.
On my mother’s side of the family I am Eskimo. My father was a German sailor shipwrecked in the Arctic Ocean off Alaska’s northernmost coast. Oui-yaghasiak (pronounced ow-ee-yag-has-ee-ak), my mama, was born about 1889, daughter of Ootenna (pronounced oo-ten-nah) and Kinaviak (pronounced kin-ah-vee-ak), at the village of Shishmaref, Alaska, just below the Arctic Circle, facing on the Chukchi Sea about sixty miles from the eastern-most point of Siberia across the Bering Strait. By the time of Mama’s birth, whalers, sealers, explorers, and traders from the outside world had already brought alcohol and diseases into the North, which began to decimate our people. With repeating rifles, iron-pointed lances, and harpoon guns—the modern methods of those days—the foreign seafarers had thinned out the once great population of ocean mammals that had provided my ancestors with clothing, food, fuel, and shelter.
While sailing ships and steamers were returning from Arctic voyages with their holds loaded to capacity with casks of whale oil, baleen, walrus hides and ivory tusks, sheaves of seal skins, and otter and fox skins, the Natives on the shore were starving. With their age-old weapons and tactics, they could no longer obtain sustenance from the dwindling animals and fi sh of the land, sea, and ice pack. Until the late 1800s it was unlawful for an Alaska Eskimo, Indian, or Aleut to own a breech-loading fi rearm because the reasoning went in Washington, D.C., that the Natives would wipe out their food supply by improvident hunting practices. There were no such restrictions against white outsiders, who could simply sail away from a region when they had depleted the waters or the land of animals and their operations were no longer profi table.
At the same time, the Indians of the interior of Alaska and Canada were being forced by hunger and destitution to leave their traditional hunting grounds because of white trappers, miners, voyagers, and other adventurers who were depleting the inland herds of caribou, moose, and other animals of the tundra and the mountains. Migrating toward the sea in search of food, the Indians, forced to leave their interior habitats, met and warred with the coastal Eskimos. My grandparents, Ootenna and Kinaviak, had vivid memories of battles their people fought with these strangers in defense of hunting lands and fishing waters.
Like a plague that swept the North, wherever the white man came in contact with the Native people, great numbers eventually died. Tuberculosis and communicable diseases, such as measles and chicken pox, wiped out whole tribes and villages. One of the most tragic aspects for the Natives was a quickly acquired taste for liquor, to which they had no more resistance than they had to the diseases of civilization. Intoxicated, the ordinarily peaceful, happy, family-loving Eskimo might murder his wife and children or best friend or lie in a drunken stupor while migrating game was all around. | <urn:uuid:80ba1654-15a7-4612-8782-a8393a3db9d5> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.obooko.com/free-memoir-biography-autobiography-books/alaskas-daughter-pinson | 2021-10-18T08:50:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585199.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018062819-20211018092819-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.972711 | 967 |

Kiwa supports Dutch Women’s Eight rowing team
The Dutch Women's Eight rowing team takes part in the World Rowing Championship from August 25 - September 1, 2019 in Linz-Ottensheim, Austria. Kiwa is proud sponsor of this group of rowers.
There is a lot at stake for the Women's Eight team of the Dutch National Rowing Association (KNRB). This championship is the first opportunity to get a ticket for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. For that, they have to finish in the top five. Kiwa is proud that it can support the Dutch Women's Sweep Rowing Team on their way to the Tokyo. The sponsoring will in any case relate to 2019, but the intention is, from both Kiwa and the KNRB, to continue this in 2020.
Kiwa has been supporting Dutch rowing for many years; we also sponsored the Men’s Eight Dutch rowing team in the past, who have won gold at the 1996 Olympic Games.

The Messe München International
The city of Munich can look back at over 100 years of trade tradition. The history of Messe München International MMI starts in 1908 with the opening of an exhibition park at Theresienhöhe in the occasion of the city’s 750 year anniversary. Since then the exhibition activities had a steady growth and the fundament for international trade fairs such as BAU, Bauma, Transport Logistic and ISPO was laid.
To meet the increasing demands, the fairgrounds was expanded with 17 exhibition halls with 44,000 square feet of space at 20 exhibition halls and four pavilions with 110,000 square feet of space. In 1998 Messe München International MMI moved to the new city district Riem, which was built on a former airport site. Together with the International Congress Center Munich ICM and the MOC Event Centre Munich this gave a total of over 470 000 square feet of space for exhibitions, symposia, conferences and exhibitions.
Munich trade fairs
With 40 trade fairs and over 30 000 exhibitors the Messe München International MMI is one of the largest exhibition companies. More than two million visitors annually find their way to their events. Among the most important trade fairs in Munich it’s worth mentioning the ISPO for sports products, Drinktec for beverage- and liquid food technology, BAU and Bauma for building and construction industries, Electronica for electronics and Intersolar for the solar industry.
With the new Messe München and the new city district, Munich East has a lot to offer. Are you going to a trade fair in the area, make sure to set aside some time to explore also the surrounding area. In 2005 the Bundesgartenschau, also known as BUGA, a large horticulture show was held here. The beautiful park- and garden area remained and has been well kept ever since.
Accommodation in Munich East
For ideal and comfortable accommodation located near both the airport and the trade fair area, choose a hotel in Munich East
. The Park Inn by Radisson Munich East Hotel has 169 spacious rooms up to 4 star standard giving you the comfort you need when going to trade fairs in the area. Meeting rooms with the capacity of 40 people are also available at the hotel, making it easy to combine your own business program with that of the fair. After a long day of meetings and fairs, visitors can recharge their batteries in the hotel’s own sauna and fitness room and enjoy a better meal in the hotel restaurant.
When planning your next visit to Messe München International MMI book your accommodation in Munich
at the Park Inn by Radisson Munich East Hotel. | <urn:uuid:4e36ff0d-3b5f-4aa8-b625-21d225eb1b1d> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.parkinn.com/hotel-municheast/location/messe-munchen-international | 2015-07-03T15:38:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096156.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00159-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949391 | 568 |

Rome, August 28, 1944
On leaving the shores of Italy after a profoundly interesting and instructive
visit I should like to send a few words of encouragement 'and hope to the Italian
I am most deeply touched by the extraordinary kindness with which I was
welcomed in all the villages and small towns through which I have driven in.
traversing the entire front. There is no doubt that in the zone of the armies the
relations of the Italians with the British, American, and other Allies are of a most
friendly and co-operative character.
Of course, owing to the hard conditions of war and the disorganization
caused by the demolitions of the enemy and the shortage of shipping and transport,
much hardship may arise in particular places. I have given directions to the
British representatives in the' various international bodies concerned to do their
utmost, in harmony with their colleagues, to meet these difficulties, and I am sure
these efforts will be warmly supported by our Allies.
Italy suffered a long period of governmental tyranny under the, Fascist regime,
which terminated in the frightful disaster and most cruel suffering which has be-
fallen the Italian people. She would be very unwise to let herself again fall into
thedclutches of this Fascist totalitarian system in any guise in which it might
Such systems of governmental tyranny breed in conditions of social dislocation,
economic hardship, and moral depression which follow in the wake of war and
defeat. It is in such a crisis in their history that peoples should be most on their
guard against unscrupulous parties seeking after power and most zealous in the
preservation of their liberties.
When a nation has allowed itself to fall into a tyrannical regime it cannot be
absolved from the faults due to the guilt of that regime, and naturally we cannot
forget the circumstances of Mussolini's attack on France and Great Britain when
we were at our weakest, and people thought that Great Britain would sink
forever-which, in fact, she has not* done.
But in the main, speaking for the British-although the other victorious Allies
would have a say in this-I believe that the British nation will be happy to see
the day when Italy, once again free and progressive, takes her place among all
the peace-loving nations.
Title Deeds of Freedom
It has been said that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. The question
arises, "What is freedom?" There are one or two quite simple, practical tests
by which it can be known in the modern world in peace conditions, namely:
Is there the right to free expression of opinion and of opposition and criticism
of the Government of the day?
Have the people the right to turn out a Government of which they disapprove,
and are constitutional means provided by which they can make their will apparent?
Are their courts of justice free from violence by the Executive and free of all
threats of mob violence and all association with any particular political parties?
2 British Speeches of the Day
Will these courts administer open and well-established laws which are
associated in the human mind with the broad principles of decency and justice?
Will there be fair play for poor as well as for rich, for private persons as well
as Government officials?
Will the rights of the individual, subject to his duties to the State, be main-
tained and asserted and exalted?
Is the ordinary peasant or workman earning a living by daily toil and striving
to' bring up a family free from the fear that some grim police organization under
the control of a single party, like the Gestapo, started by the Nazi and Fascist
parties, will tap him on the shoulder and pack him off without fair or open trial
to bondage or ill-treatment?
These simple practical tests are some of the title deeds on which a new Italy
could be founded.
The first duty of all is to purge the soil of Italy from the foul German taint.
This can only be done by hard fighting. I rejoice that large new Italian Forces will
soon join the Allied armies.
Hard work, a strong resolve, high inspirations, and above all true unity will
all be needed if Italy is to nourish her people and resume her place among the
leading Powers of Europe. Political excitement and the clash of many parties will
not achieve those simple joys and rights which the mass of the people so desire.
Italy must recapture the ideals of freedom which inspired the Risorgimento.
May this thought rest with you through your trouble, and may your friends,
both in England and across the ocean, see their hopes rewarded.
RT. HON. SIR STAFFORD CRIPPS
Minister of Aircraft Production
Belfast, August 18,*1944
With the prospect of victory coming more nearly into view, we naturally turn
our minds to the conditions which we shall have to meet after the war is over
and to the steps that we shall have to take to cope with these conditions.
Let us first get it quite dear that the difficulties after this war are going to be
much greater than after the last war and that we shall either have to take more
drastic steps to deal with them than we did in 1919 and the early Twenties or else
we shall find ourselves in a far worse condition that we then were.
No doubt as always after a war there will be a period of a year or two when
everyone will be busily engaged in making good the deficits that have developed
during the war. Demand for every kind of personal and domestic goods will be
very heavy. Stocks will be nonexistent and the needs very great, while most
people will have the wherewithal in the form of savings to buy what they want or
what they can get hold of. This will lead to a grave danger of inflation which
will have to be dealt with firmly by the Government, if disaster is to be avoided.
The Post-War Industrial Outlook 3
There will certainly be a shortage of supplies of all kinds, though some will be
less short than others, and for this reason a measure of rationing will have to be
continued so that the goods available may be fairly distributed among those who
But this is only a transition phenomenon due to the accumulated shortages of
the war, and it will not be very long before stocks are once again built up and
supplies are adequate to meet the demand.
It is with the more fundamental difficulties that we shall have to concern
ourselves-difficulties that will stretch over a much longer period and that will
have a more profound effect upon our whole future standards of life and
Lost Overseas Investments
During this war, and particularly in the early stages before the lease-lend
arrangements were made by the Americans, our financial position has been greatly
changed. Prior to the war we were receiving annually a large volume of foodstuffs
and raw materials by way of interest on capital exported from this country in the
past or as repayment of that capital. As against these goods received no exports
were necessary, though the imports were essential to the maintenance of our
standards of living.
In order to maintain our war effort, especially during that period when we
stood alone against Germany, we have sacrificed and willingly sacrificed a con-
siderable part of our overseas dollar investments. As a result we shall after the
war find ourselves without a large part of the imports which we were previously
earning by those foreign investments. We must therefore find some other way
by which we can make good the necessary imports to support our population and
our industries and the only way of doing that will be by increasing our exports-
except in so far as we can increase the amount of food and raw materials that
we produce in our own country or at least within the Sterling block of countries.
We can certainly do better than we did before the war in the production of
food, that has been very amply demonstrated during the war; but if we are to do
better it means that we must have a better agricultural policy and one upon which
the producers of food in our country can rely with certainty.. In some few raw
materials, too, we can perhaps improve matters in a small degree, but largely we
nust rely upon imports for these since most of them do not exist or cannot be
produced in our own country. Many of the metals, cotton, rubber, timber and
many other vital materials we must import.
The 50 Per Cent Margin
So that after doing all we can to boost up our home production of these ma-
terials and foodstuffs there will still be a large margin over which we must import
and against which after the war we must send out exports.
That means that we must not only get back all the export trade that we had
before the war, but that we must add to that something like another 50 per cent.
Unless we can do this and do it pretty quickly after the war is over, we shall be
quite unable to maintain the pre-war standards of our people, much less improve
them as we are anxious to do.
There is another aspect of this problem which has very great importance for
the future of the world internationally.
It has now become an almost universal assumption that in the years after the
war the major responsibility for guarding the peace of the world will fall upon
4 British Speeches of the Day
the United States of America, the Soviet Union and ourselves-and when I say
ourselves, I refer tothe British Commonwealth and Empire. I believe that such
an arrangement will be absolutely vital to world peace and that the great Powers
in association with all the others of the United Nations should undertake this task.
But if we are to take our part in this task with the effort and expense that it
will entail to do the job efficiently, we must be secure in our own' livelihood. If
we are to share in this important responsibility, we must have a firm and secure
basis for our own economy.
The economic stability of this country after the war is not merely our personal
and private concern, it is a world concern to all those peoples who desire peace.
No one can doubt the contribution that we are capable of making in such a direc-
tioh; we must not deprive ourselves of that capacity by the weakness of our
I have said that this new situation will demand a greater volume of exports
if we are to maintain our previous standards of living, but we are all of us aware
that the people of this country are determined to better their standards. Nor can
there be any doubt that with drive and initiative we can provide these better
standards. There are two possible ways of dealing with this very natural and proper
demand by the people. The first is to redistribute the internal wealth of the
country so as to get a greater measure of equality in incomes, as we have done
with some success by taxation during the war, the second is to increase the over-all
productive wealth of the country so that there is more for everybody. We want to
apply both these methods for we shall need them both if we are to attain our
objectives. The wartime has shown us how much we can achieve when we have
a strong common purpose at which we are all aiming; properly organized and
assisted,, our industries have produced vast quantities of goods to ensure our
victory. That same organization and community of purpose must be used after
the war to win our peacetime objectives unless we are to admit that we care less
about the constructive purposes of peace than we do about the destructive purposes
What are those objectives? We can already see them being formulated in the
series of White Papers which have been produced and in many other subject
matters which are known to be under consideration. First of all, of course, we
have to get back to the 1938 standards before we can surpass them, and we
are at the present time a long way below those standards owing to war condi-
tions and enemy action.
A very large building program will be the first necessity to get back the
houses, factories, schools, churches, places of entertainment and other buildings
that have been destroyed by the enemy and to make good the deficiency of building
and repair during five years of war. That alone is a very great task and one that
must be urgently carried out. Indeed we have, as an expedient, to do a great
deal of temporary building in order to get any houses at all for our men to live
in when they come home from the fighting. This heavy burden in the post-war
years is part of the price that we must pay for being in the front line of the aerial
battles. Then, in addition, we must step up all kinds of civilian production,
changing over from wartime to peacetime manufacture.
But this, when it is done, will only leave us where we were in 1938, and that
certain, is not good enough to satisfy our fighting men or our workers who have
devoted themselves so wholeheartedly to victory.
The Post-War Industrial Outlook 5
The Government's social security plan which will shortly be published in a
further White Paper will mean a better standard for many people, as does the
Workmen's Compensation legislation which has been forecast. Family allowances
and an all-in medical service for the people are two further important improve-
ments in living standards.
The Education Act, which has now been passed, is the first great measure of
post-war progress to go on the Statute Book and entails a great deal of improve-
ment in the standards of education, just as the planning and housing proposals
envisage an improvement in living and amenity standards. But these forward steps
will, of course, necessitate a decent level of wages and salaries if people are to be
able to take full advantage of the improved facilities.
We have, in fact, already written up a very considerable bill for improved
standards of living over the 1938 level and there is no doubt that many other
items will be added to the debit side of the National account.
Need for Increased Export
So far as these are merely internal transfers between one section of the people
and another, they need not trouble us in respect of our national economy. But if
there is to be a general over-all average improvement in our standards of living
that will entail more imports of foods and raw materials and of some manu-
factured goods as well, and so will entail more exports.
You will observe, therefore, that we must increase our exports for at least
three reasons, and at the same time produce all that we can for our home market.
These reasons are:
(a) To maintain our pre-war standard of living;
(b) To give a firm basis for our international position as a pillar of peace in
(c) To help to provide those increases in standards of education, health,
housing, etc., for which we are already planning or have planned.
This greater volume of exports must, if we wish to maintain and increase our
own standards of living, be produced as an addition to our home consumption
and cannot be taken from it. Indeed, as I have said, we shall need to increase
our production for home consumption in all utilitarian goods though not in
luxuries. In other words, we must not only export more, but we must have a
greater total of production than we had before the war. There should be no diffi-
culty in getting this greater production provided we so manage our industry as to
maintain our wartime efficiency and avoid the gross waste of unemployment which
we suffered before the war. If we are to use the expression "never again" as we
did rather ineffectively after the last war, let us apply it this time to unemployment,
for when we get rid of unemployment we shall have gone a long way 'towards
getting rid of war.
Happily our need for more exports and our need for full employment both
pull in the same direction.
It may well be, in fact, it will almost certainly be, necessary in the first post-
war years to cut down deliberately and temporarily our own standards of con-
sumption, in order that we may the more rapidly rebuild our own country and
the export trade which is essential to our future survival as a great nation.
Especially in the very first stages of the transition when materials are still in short
supply and the change-over from war production is not yet complete, we must do
all we can to restart the export trade which we have had to abandon in the interest
British Speeches of the Day
of our war effort. People sometimes fail to realize how total that effort has been
and the degree to which we have cut off (almost completely) the export trade upon
which we lived before the war, and supplies for our own civilian population. To
regain our economic balance will entail devoting to exports some of the productive-
energy which we might otherwise use to make goods for home consumption. We
must make the deliberate choice, for the sake of the future stability of our country,
to postpone to some degree the recovery of our standards-particularly in all kinds
of luxury articles.
It is, of course, all very well to lay down these requirements, but some very
active steps will have to be taken if we are to achieve them. They will not ma-
terialize out of the air or come as a reward for wishful thinking. It is not the
sort of position we can face without plans and without organization. The D-Day
of peace requires quite as much planning and preparation as the D-Day of war.
Two Things to Remember
In my own view, these exacting demands which are thus made upon us require
a complete reconsideration of our industrial methods. There will be no room for
old-fashioned methods, ideas or machinery. I will not deal this evening with
the question of ownership of industry-though I have some views about that-
but rather the methods by which we run our industries. There are, however, two
observations which I should like to make in passing on the question of the own-
ership and control of industry.
First, do not let us get into our heads that there is no alternative between
complete nationalization and uncontrolled private enterprise. There are an almost
infinite number of stages between the two, many of which we are already partially
Second, let us remember that in accordance with a very widespread desire
among the people the Government have, for the first time in history, undertaken
the duty and obligation of providing full employment for the people. The
assumption of that obligation must, of course, imply the granting to the Govern-
ment of the powers necessary for the carrying out of that duty.
The Government have in the White Paper which has been published indicated
the powers which they will require and the general line of the action which they
consider will be necessary. Views may differ widely as to whether these powers
are wide enough and as to whether the steps they have suggested will be adequate
to attain their objective of full employment. Time alone can show. But if those
powers are not large enough then either the Government will have to seek wider
power or else they will have to relinquish the duty. I hope and believe that the
British people will insist upon the Government retaining the obligation to ensure
full employment and will, if it proves necessary, give them the further powers
Emphasis on Quality
Now let me revert to the methods by which we run our industries.
Exports inevitably mean competition in foreign markets with other countries
of all kinds, great and small, with varying standards and differing degrees of skill.
We have not the advantages possessed by some very large countries of huge home
markets giving ample scope for the most elaborate and heavily capitalized methods
of mass production. Our home markets must be comparatively small as we are a
small island with at relatively dense but numerically small population.
We must, therefore, in many matters, depend more upon quality and high
efficiency rather than upon quantity and elaborate mass-production methods. We
The Post-War Industrial Outlook
certainly are no longer the workshop of the world, but unless we maintain our
position as one of the workshops of the world our prospects will be very gloomy.
Quality and efficiency must therefore be the aim of our industries. By quality
I do not mean that everything we make must last forever. With the rapidly chang-
ing techniques, designs and fashions of modern production, the life of even the
most permanent of manufactured goods is now to be measured in years rather
than in decades. They become obsolete before they wear out, but during their
useful life they must retain their first-rate quality.
Quality depends on two things: firstly, inventiveness and research by which
there is a constant advance in quality and type; and secondly, the skill of technicians
We certainly have the latter in ample supply in our country as can be seen
from the splendid quality of our war products, as good as any in the world.
Where we have been able to concentrate our scientific and technical resources
in the comparatively narrow field of war production, we have, too, excelled in
inventiveness and novelty, but we are not adequately supplied with the highly
skilled and trained scientific and technical personnel to do all that we ought to do
and must do to preserve our leading position in the many great manufacturing
This means that we need a larger supply of highly trained young men in
these fields and more opportunity for them to research, discover and invent. We
must see to it that our educational institutions are enlarged, financed and made
adequate to give us that flow of scientists and technicians without which we
cannot keep or win supremacy in the quality of our manufactured products.
A great deal more must be done, too, for research both fundamental and ap-
plied, at the universities, in research institutions and in industry. Farseeing re-
search and development today form the basis for all successful industrial effort.
Though we have an ample supply of skilled workers, yet we must not over-
look the fact that today the tendency is to recruit young workers into unskilled
mass production or semiskilled jobs and that the necessity for thorough-going
training through apprenticeship is sometimes lost sight of. Actually the need today
is to train apprentices to a higher standard of skill especially in the theoretical
field and the more progressive industrialists are realizing this fact. Many schemes
are now working whereby apprentices are given a thorough theoretical as well
as practical training, though there are still many backward factories where this is
neglected. The highly trained skill of our artisans is our most precious national
Three Factors That Make for Efficiency
Then we come to the second need, efficiency. This is a more complex matter,
but certainly the war has given us a great deal of experience in this field. To one
who like myself goes round hundreds of factories it is quite extraordinary to
see the degree to which efficiency varies in different productive units. It is quite
possible to find variations of 100 per cent between two factories doing the same
job and that variation is certainly not due to Government interference, except
where by advice and persuasion we have greatly increased efficiency.
Actually the various supply departments with the Ministries of Labor and
Production have done a tremendous lot to increase the efficiency of production
during the war. It would not be possible in the time available to go through all
the many factors which influence efficiency in production, but I would like to
mention three of them only.
British Speeches of the Day
First, I place the relationships between management and labor in the factory.
You cannot have an efficient shop unless it is a happy shop. Labor has become
more intelligent and better informed in the last two decades and the old methods
of patronage and autocracy of management are out of date and will not produce
efficiency. Partnership of effort is the right attitude and where there is good per-
sonnel management, a smoothly working Joint Production Committee and a well-
recognized Trade Union organization, you will always find efficiency. Joint Pro-
duction Committees are one of the most hopeful developments in our industrial
organization and will be of the greatest value in the difficulties of the post-war
Second, of course, is the question of plant, layout and buildings.
One still comes across in our factories scores of machines which are hopelessly
out of date and which should have been scrapped years ago, just as one goes into
factories which are a disgrace from the point of view of ventilation: sanitation
As a prominent industrialist recently wrote in a letter to myself, "a man who
is comfortable at his work gives of his best."
We must rebuild our factories and re-equip them if we are to compete in the
export field. In this direction the Government have done a great deal during the
war by building really fine new up-to-date factories with excellent ventilation,
lighting, canteens and conveniences, and millions upon millions have been spent
upon new machine tools, many of which will be suitable for peacetime
We are long past the period when any conditions-however cheap and
shoddy-were good enough for the workers. We must study their health and
comfort because they cannot be fully efficient unless pains and trouble are taken
about the conditions both material and psychological in which they work.
The third point concerns management itself. During the last quarter of a
century a great deal has been done to professionalize management. With the com-
plexity of modern production methods the different grades of management must
look upon their job as a professional job and one for which a high degree of
training is required, whether it be as works manager, production manager, per-
sonnel manager or any other similar post.
There is, I believe, a great need for some strong central institute of manage-
ment which can build up the necessary professional and educational standards for
the profession. The old haphazard idea that anyone with some technical knowledge
could be the boss has in the past led to more trouble and inefficiency in industry
than almost anything else.
In addition to these points which I have mentioned there are many others that
will require attention, such as those connected with finance and investment policies,
market investigations and so on.
But those I have mentioned are sufficient, I hope, to show that we shall not
be able to cope with the future, unless we are prepared to make great changes in
our methods of industrial organization, compared to the pre-war period.
The Home Guard
RT. HON. SIR JAMES GRIGG
Secretary of State for War
Broadcast, September 6, 1944
I have an announcement to make to the Home Guard: His Majesty's Gov-
ernment have now decided that compulsory drills and training including assistance
to Civil Defense should be discontinued. Such operational duties as are still re-
quired of the Home Guard will be carried out on a voluntary basis. These
arrangements will take effect from Monday, 11th September, 1944. InstructioAs
are being issued accordingly. It has also been decided that the call-up and medical
examination of further entrants to the Home Guard shall be suspended.
An Incalculable Debt
I should like to make this announcement the occasion of a preliminary word
of thanks to the Home Guard for all that they have done through four-and-a-half
strenuous and anxious years. If the expression of my thanks falls short of what
is their due I ask for indulgence. I was in Cairo yesterday and in Naples this
morning. Consequently I only reached this country a few hours ago after flying
in an unarmed and unescorted aeroplane the whole way across France-from which
incidentally you will gather how complete is the eclipse of the once vaunted Luft-
waffe. Anyhow, I have not in the few hours since I arrived been fully able to
attune my words to the height of their argument.
The spectacular development of operations on the Continent which have
brought the Allies to the very gates of Germany means that the Government is
in a position to review its arrangements for warding off hostile attack. The Home
Guard has formed a large part of these arrangements and the Nation owes an
incalculable debt to the self-sacrifice and devotion of those men who have given,
willingly and cheerfully, so many hours of their leisure to service in the force.
Without their help the armies which are now liberating one country after another
from the Germans could not have been spared to leave this country and, though
the Home Guard have never been called upon to engage in active land operations
against the enemy-much to the disappointment of its members-their presence
in Great Britain has effectively ensured the safety of the base from which the
expeditionary force has been launched and is being maintained, and they have
made a very effective contribution to the defense of our homes against attacks by
aircraft and flying bombs.
The Need for Volunteers
His Majesty's Government have always assured the Home Guard that as soon
as their services are no longer required they will be told. That time has not yet
arrived but the Government feel, as I have already said, that there is no longer
any need to call upon them for compulsory drills and training and these will
consequently cease as from next Monday, 11th September.
There still remains some work to be done, but we know that we can rely upon
the loyalty and public spirit of the Home Guard to volunteer for such duties as
manning anti-aircraft batteries, and assisting Civil Defense in those areas which are
subject to flying-bomb attacks or have suffered as a result of these attacks.
The end-so far as Germany is concerned-cannot now be far off but it may
be that before that end arrives even voluntary duty in the Home Guard can be
discontinued. In any case you may be sure that the Home Guard will not be asked
British Speeches of the Day
to do a day's more duty than is necessary and they may be sure that they will be
told the moment the time has come. In the meantime the release from compulsory
drills and training will come as an easement for all members of the force, to whom
I take this opportunity of conveying the heartfelt thanks of the Government, the
Army and the Nation.
I conclude by making it cear that my few poor words are not intended as a
final acknowledgement of what the country owes to the Home Guard. Much more
will be required adequately to discharge that debt, but I trust that what I have
said will be taken as, at any rate, a very willing payment on account.

In the Battle of Normandy which had to be won before Paris could free her-

British, Canadians, Americans, Frenchmen, Poles, Belgians and Dutch have
all shared in this victory. Today they are rejoicing at the liberation of the capital
which they regard as an incomparable expression of their civilization.
At this moment we British, who entered the war with you [the French] so that

The Cotton Industry Looks Ahead
RT. HON. HUGH DALTON
President of the Board of Trade
Manchester, September 20, 1944
The Government will count on the cotton industry to play its part after the
war, both in meeting our essential domestic needs and in making its full contribu-
tion to the expansion of our exports which will be necessary if we are to feed and
employ our own people.
But it is vital that there should be in Lancashire a vigorous determination to
reorganize and modernize the industry. Otherwise in the conditions of the post-
war world there will be a grave danger of the industry continuing to slip down-
hill as it did in the period between the wars, with an ever shrinking volume of
output, exports and employment. This would be a disaster both to Lancashire and
The Industry's Tasks
The Government will urge the industry to take immediate steps: first, to bring
about such amalgamations, particularly in the spinning section, as are required
in order to secure efficient and financially strong units; second, to undertake
necessary re-equipment so that in respect of machinery, buildings and amenities,
the British cotton industry shall be second to none; third, to overhaul the merchant-
ing organization, particularly with a view to enabling producing sections to
achieve, as was not done in pre-war years, the great economies of continuous
runs and bulk production; fourth, to modernize and simplify the page structure
of the industry; and fifth, to extend doubleshift working, without which expense
of modern machinery in many cases would not be justified.
Unless the industry will face these questions in a bold and practical spirit,
there cannot be a satisfactory guarantee of stable prices, production or employment.
Dangers of Price Management
All sections of the industry, including both the employers and the trade
unions, have pressed upon the Government the need, as they conceive it, for
"price management," i.e., the enforcement with the sanction of the Government,
of statutory minimum prices.
The Government have given most careful consideration to this plea, so per-
sistently and so authoritatively put forward. There are great dangers in such
minimum price arrangements which may easily lead to the restriction rather than
expansion of output and to a perpetuation of inefficient and old-fashioned methods
at the expense of more efficient and up-to-date firms. Moreover, for some time to
come, the British cotton industry should be able to sell without difficulty and at
good prices all it can produce. In the home market the practical problem will be
to enforce not minimum but maximum prices so as to prevent inflation. In the
same way in overseas markets the need will not be for minimum prices but for a
certain discretion on the part of the exporters. Our prices must not be so high
as to lose in future years the goodwill of our overseas customers. It should be
realized, too, that the work of cotton control which has done such a fine job for
the industry and the country during the war, must continue for some considerable
time. During this period, the Cotton Industry (Reorganization) Act of 1939
cannot be brought into operation. Cotton control, through its standard prices,
12 British Speeches of the Day
achieves more simply and directly the price-fixing objects of this Act. Price,fixing
under the 1939 Act is subject to a salutory measure of public scrutiny and public
control. Otherwise, Parliament would never have passed it. In the Government's
view, the cotton industry is entitled to assume that unless Parliament otherwise de-
termines, this Act will come into operation as soon as cotton control disappears.
Almost certainly this will be in a new Parliament. This assurance having been
given by the Government regarding "price management," we expect the industry
to concentrate its energies forthwith upon putting its house in order. Action
much more far-reaching is required in the cotton industry than the mere putting
into effect of the 1939 Act. The industry, for its part, may wish for some modi-
fications of the provisions of the 1939 Act or for some other measure by the
Government in relation to the cotton industry. The present Government will be
prepared to consider any such requests if, and only if, the industry is able to
submit at the same time proposals and evidence of effective action already taken,
satisfactory to the Government on the points mentioned above.
RT. HON. HERBERT MORRISON
Home Secretary and Minister of Home Security
Broadcast, September 3, 1944
On the eve of victory we look forward. On this fifth anniversary of our entry
into the war, let us also look back.
As we do so, we see some spectacular triumphs-the glory of the Battle of
Britain, the dramatic defiance of air bombardment by the people of our cities, the
lightning annihilation of Mussolini's Italian Empire, the overthrow of the Afrika
Korps at Alamein, the triumph of Tunisia. Yet many of the predominant con-
tributions made by the British nations to final victory have not been spectacular-
have indeed been mighty in effect just because they have not been spectacular.
I am not an expert in boxing, but I understand that it is the rain of close, hard,
continuous blows to the body which plays an even greater part in the downfall of
a heavyweight than the final swinging uppercut that brings the crowd to its feet.
For five years Britain has been doing the in-fighting.
For five years the Navy and Merchant Navy, those silent services of ours, have
worn down the strength and fighting power of Germany by the unrelaxing
intensity of their silent grip on the life-lines of the seas.
For five years the R.A.F. has hammered at the enemy's centers of life and
For five years the people of the island and of the Commonwealth and Empire
overseas have worked their fingers to the bone-yes, and have bled, too, in their
streets and homes and factories-to build up our strength and to maintain in-
violate the world's great base of freedom, this island itself.
All these things have moved no flags upon the map. But without them the
flags could not have moved.
A Change of Heart
Now that the, time for spectacular victories has come, our role of standing
up dose and doing the in-fighting remains ours still. From D-Day onwards British
and Canadian troops have played the key part in the magnificent strategy whose
fruits are now ripening as we watch. As General Eisenhower has made clear, they
held, outfought and finally mastered the main strength of the German Armies
in France, the great bulk of their armor, the cream of their fighting force in all
Europe, and then got on with swift marches and more victories.
In so doing they contributed powerfully to the breakthrough of their Amer-
ican Allies and enabled them to -display those magnificent qualities of speed, re-
sourcefulness and mechanical genius which have taken them in one great curving
sweep from Avranches to Rheims and beyond. What has made the gains of terri-
tory possible is the containing and destruction of enemy troops and armor. Given
that, the rest could follow.
An American Judgment
At the same time, as though to underline doubly and trebly the meaning of
Britain's part in the war, the Germans launched their terror attack by flying bombs
on London and Southern England. They expected it, at the least, to disorganize
our strategy in France by forcing us to attack where they were strongest; at best,
they hoped it would drive Londoners and the English of the Southern Counties
towards greater readiness for a compromise peace. Some people never learn!
A generous American observer, a great newspaper, has declared that "in the
secord- battle of France the Germans have been beaten first of all by London
civilians." I am glad and grateful that it should have been in the United States'
that this was first publicly said. It is, I am sure, what history will say. It is a com-
fort and a satisfaction to have it said now. This record of five years fighting
cannot be understood-not even by us ourselves-except by remembering the spirit
in which we entered the war. It is especially important to do that now, amid the
dust and turmoil of the final struggle.
Britain's determination to challenge the cruel and aggressive force of. Nazi
Germany was no mere decision of statecraft; it arose from the determination of a
whole people. Britain waged war in 1939 as a popular crusade. We resisted the
foul menace of Hitlerism, not from necessity but from deliberate choice.
For a year and five days, from the fall of France to the invasion of Russia,
the nations of the British Commonwealth stood alone. That year was the darkest
period in the history of modern civilization. It was lit by one single light, the
flame of resolve in the hearts of the British peoples. Had that flame died down
or been quenched, there is not one single power in the world, however vast or
powerful, which can claim that it could with certainty have withstood the deluge
of barbarism. Moreover, the British people in their resistance were animated not
merely by a determination to preserve themselves from their enemies, but by the
knowledge that in so doing they were preserving the hope of freedom for all the
world. Let these things not be forgotten now.
The Spirit of 1940
For when we look forward beyond victory we cannot do better than animate
ourselves with a renewal of the spirit of that earlier time. We saw very clearly
in 1940 and 1941. We were brought sharply up against ultimate realities. Greed,
sectionalism and the lust of power were silenced among us. We had no programs,
but we had a vision of essentials. We had in our hearts the mood that creates
both victory in war and great programs for peace.
British Speeches of the Day
And now it is 1944. We have not fought this war for nothing. The British
people have never shown themselves the sort of fools who would do a faithful
week's work with all their strength and conscientiousness and then be indifferent
whether their pay envelope contained good currency or worthless counterfeit. They
are not going to be content with a counterfeit peace.
But they will have to make sure of what they want. Nothing comes of itself,
certainly not a good peace at the end of a hard-fought war. After the last great
war the nations entered upon the peace in a spirit of optimistic idealism. They
applauded the building of a great superstructure of international organization
whose white towers rose triumphantly towards the skies. They applauded so hard
that they forgot to make sure that the foundations were sound. In the end every-
thing came crashing down. This time we are much more wary. We proceed more
cautiously. We expect less. As a result we may do better.
The building of an international organization of nations which can secure all its
members from the threat of aggression and war is a tremendous aim. If we have
to live again in a disturbed and uncertain world, with the echoes of the quarrels of
great nations ringing in our ears and aggressors sharpening their weapons in dark
corners, we shall have neither wealth nor leisure nor peace of mind to spare to make
happy lives for ourselves here at home. The achievement of solid international
security is the primary aim of the peace. Let us by all means be cautious about it,
not aiming at the moon and hitting the haystack, not getting too far away from
the existing realities of national power and wealth. But, I would add, let us not
be so cautious or realistic that we forget what we are setting out to achieve. We
want an absolute ban upon lawless aggression, and we want it for all time. The
Fascist and Japanese aggression, those curses upon Europe and Ahe East, must be
prohibited for all time. History has amply proved that there is only one way to
achieve such an aim,.and that is by a just system of world relationships and forces
under international control sufficiently powerful to enforce it.
Will Must Back Force
In the historic past, when there were separate powers and interests within our
own country, each ready to use its strength in what it conceived to be the defense
of its ultimate interest, there was no peace. Peace came with the achievement
of one single central sovereign power, so far dominant over all the others that its
will prevailed. Internationally the same principle must be remembered. A police
force, whether it is armed with truncheons and tear gas or with bombers and tanks,
is only a police force if it is at the disposal of one unified public-spirited will.
The authority behind that will must be constituted out of the general will of a
S number of constituent powers. But it must be capable, when all the deliberation
is over, of speaking with a single voice and of swiftly enforcing its will for peace
I do not know, nobody knows, how long it may be before we succeed in
achieving such an organization. We are trying at Dumbarton Oaks to reach agree-
ment on an important step forward along this road. I know that we cannot expect
to reach the end of the road in a day. But I know also that some abandonment of
the traditional idea of separate unqualified national sovereignties is a necessary
condition of the successful maintenance of permanent peace. It was one of the
fundamental maxims of Roman law, it is one of the basic ideas of all law, that no
man shall be a judge in his own cause. When we have reached the point of accept-
ing in all honesty and sincerity the maxim that no nation can be a judge in its own
cause, we shall have taken the essential step towards the outlawry of war.
The Chinese Delegates at Dumbarton Oaks
We have great and complex economic problems to solve in working out schemes
for money and trading relationships between the nations, for distributing the sup-
plies of the great basic commodities on which the world depends, and avoiding
the catastrophic booms and slumps of the past. But when all the brilliant schemes
have been worked out, there still remains one thing needful, the same thing of
which I have already spoken, a readiness on the part of individual nations to sub-
ordinate their own interest in some particular matter to the common interests of the
nations as a whole.
These things are easy to talk about; they are not so easy to achieve. They call
for a change of heart among the nations and that means in practice a change of
heart on the part of all the men and women within them-you, every one of you,
and me, and all those like us in this country and all countries. When we decide
to pay the same regard to the interests and needs of the other man or nation as we
do to our own, when we are ready to treat the other as we would wish to be
treated ourselves, and when other nations do the same, then and then only will all
nations be serving their own interests in the truest sense. Then and then only
will they be ready for the great political and economic changes which can secure
peace and plenty for the world. Then and not before, can the nations reap a
fitting reward for the struggle and endurance of these years of conflict and
SIR ALEXANDER CADOGAN
Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affbirs
At Dumbarton Oaks, September 29, 1944
In opening our discussions with our Chinese friends we are gratefully conscious
that there is already a very large measure of agreement between them and us. We
are all, I am sure, well aware of the importance and complexity of the problems
which we have set out to resolve, but we know that the Chinese delegation will
bring all their ability and all their goodwill to their solution. We look forward
with pleasure to consultation with representatives of the oldest civilization in the
world, which throughout many trials, as severe as any nation.has endured, has kept
intact the moral ideals which are the foundations of its unique culture and way
The Chinese delegation will, I am confident, make a large contribution to the
establishment of a world organization for the maintenance of peace and security.
China has shown herself ready to assume the responsibilities which her position
in history, her vast and industrious population, and the heroic conduct of her
armies in a seven-year struggle against a cruel and implacable enemy have placed
upon her. As a signatory of the Moscow Declaration she has declared her inten-
tion to join in setting up at the earliest practicable date a world organization in
which all peace-loving States can take part.
The papers that have been exchanged between us have shown not only that we
are agreed on the main objectives, but that there is a very large measure of agree-
ment even in detail on the methods by which these objectives shall be reached.
16 British Speeches of the Day.
We all desire to see set up an assembly of all peaceful States, with a smaller
council of great and small States, together with an efficient secretariat and an inter-
national court of justice. We are all anxious to give the new organization life
by basing it on the moral ideas on which our civilizations are founded. We all also
recognize that responsibility should be commensurate with power.
It is for us to find the methods by which power may be rightly applied in the
best interests of all nations. The horror and suffering that the world has endured
should give us the will and energy to overcome all the tremendous difficulties which
history shows have confronted those who apply themselves to such a task.
No people have suffered more than the Chinese. They, like the peoples of the
British Commonwealth, have known what it is to stand alone on the brink of
disaster. Now we are all conscious of the terrible danger that threatened not only
this nation or that, but the whole future of the world on which the happiness and
well-being of every man and woman depends. We hope therefore that the mem-
ory of the danger that we have escaped, as well as of the sufferings which we have
endured, will bring a unity to the world such as it has never before had.
If we can agree to work together to this end, we shall be able to devise in the
light of common experience institutions necessary to carry out our purpose. With-
out such common purpose and practice no institutions, however well devised, have
the necessary strength when the moment for action comes.

RT. HON. LEOPOLD AMERY
Secretary of State for India and Burma
London, September 26, 1944
I have just had the privilege of visiting on the Italian Front the three Indian
Divisions which have taken so outstanding a part in the liberation of Italy up to
date, but before saying something about these individual Divisions and their record
I should like to say something of a more general character about the Indian Army.
That army, at any rate so far as its Indian elements are concerned, is a purely
Voluntary army, by far the largest voluntary army serving in this war. It has
grown by the tenfold expansion of the nucleus of the old standing Indian Army,
a professional army like ours with a very glorious tradition of past service-a
tradition which goes back over a very long period.
The other day I had the privilege of inspecting Skinner's Horse, a regiment
with a record of some 200 years. In that sense the Indian Army, in its character
and tradition, very much resembled the old British Army, and indeed, like the
British Army, its expansion in time of war has largely been due to the fact that
everywhere there is a local pride and interest in its regiments, just as in the case of
our old county regiments there is a natural desire to be identified with their tra-
ditions and their record and to join them in a time of emergency. So in all the
countryside from which these great regiments have been drawn there is a local
interest and a local desire to take part in a common effort; behind that, of course,
there is the general sense of fighting for a good cause.
The Fighting Qualities of the Indian Army
You would not have secured something like two million volunteers among a
population that believed their Government to be oppressive and corrupt and the
cause for which it was fighting unworthy. Indeed, there is no difference in India'
in any section as to the general goodness of our cause. All the leading public
men in India, whatever their other criticisms of the present Government of India,
have always made it clear that they consider the common cause for which the Allies
are fighting a just one. In the case of the more simple-minded men who have
come forward to join the army, theyhave assumed that if the cause is obviously
a good one, then it is obviously worth fighting for.
Other elements of India have found it impossible to reconcile their general
belief in the goodness of the common cause with their immediate desire and their
immediate aspirations and ambitions to alter the domestic conditions of the Gov-
ernment of India; and in order somehow or other to fit into their picture of an
oppressed or sullen India unwilling to play her part in the common effort of the
war, the fact that these millions of volunteers have come forward, they have been
in the habit (led in this respect by Mr. Gandhi) of describing India's voluntary
army as a purely mercenary one.
Now, in India itself, that is discounted as the common form of political con-
troversy. What is very unfortunate is that this particular libel upon the Indian
Army and other libels upon its quality have recently received wide publicity in the
United States. . Let me first of all deal with the charge that the Indian Army
is a purely mercenary one.
Of course, the men get paid-as men of all armies are paid. If the
Indian Army is a mercenary one-the Indian Army of today which has grown by
voluntary expansion round the old permanent Army-then the British Army which
fought so heroically in the last war, in 1915 and 1916 before the first conscripts
ever came into the field, was also a mercenary army: and, indeed, that was how
Kaiser Wilhelm ventured to describe it. He learned its qualities to his own cost
later. Anyhow, that is a charge which I venture to say will be unhesitatingly
repudiated by the men of the Indian Army themselves and by all of us.
Then there is the charge alleged to have been made . about the poor
quality and morale of the Indian troops and their officers. These remarks, if made
at all, are alleged to have been made some eighteen months or more ago. Let me
remind you of the position. At that time all the best trained of India's troops
were fighting heroically in the Middle East and India's first effort was to keep
those troops going with equipment and trained drafts. Another part of India s
fighting forces had been virtually annihilated in the gallant retreat of the Ninth
and Eleventh Indian Divisions along the whole length of the Malay Peninsula,
unsupported frqm the air, outflanked by sea. Just as with us after Dunkirk, India
in 1942, after Malaya and Burma, was concerned with an entirely new military
effort: training new masses of troops, finding equipment for them, training officers.
And it was in that condition-when troops were still being trained-or with such
training as they had had (the better trained of them had been trained for desert
warfare) that they had to face the new and difficult experience of the Arakan
Indians Bear Brunt in Burma
The lessons they learned there have stood them in good stead in the last year's
campaign, and I think none knows better today than General Stilwell himself
what his efforts and the whole campaign against the Japanese owe to the Indian
Army. In his own case, his very successful subsidiary operation in Northern
British Speeches of the Day
Burma against a strong Japanese division was enormously assisted by the Third
Division flown in behind the Japanese; and able thus to fend off all reinforce-
ments from Southern Burma to the Japanese against General Stilwell. Some day
the performances of that heroic 77th Brigade of the Third Division will find their
place among the, most brilliant performances in this war. More than that, while
General Stilwell was dealing with a comparatively minor Japanese force, perhaps
one-sixth of the Japanese forces in Burma, the whole main burden of the Japanese
invasion of India was sustained and converted into the worst defeat the Japanese
had yet encountered in this war, by the Brgish and Indian troops all along that
700 miles of frontier from Manipur down to Arakan. So I think we can leave
these attacks upon the Indian Army to the judgment of military history and
indeed to the judgment of all British, Dominion, American and not least Italian
and German troops who have met the Indian troops in the field, either as com-
rades in arms or as enemies.
Now let me say a word or two about the Indian Divisions which I had the
privilege of visiting in the last week or two, all on the fighting front,' all engaged
with conspicuous success during the operations of the last fortnight.
The Fourth Indian Division
Let me begin with that remarkable Division, the Fourth Indian Division, whose
record in this war is unequaled by any other Division that has fought in the war
except, perhaps, their old comrades the British Seventh Armored Division. May
I remind you that the Fourth Division, together with their British comrades, were
the first into the Italian lines at Sidi Barrani, our first victory in this war. It was
moved from there down to the Sudan, and together with the no less gallant Fifth
Indian Division advanced from the Sudan into Eritrea, surmounting the precipitous
heights of Keren in one of the toughest battles of the whole of this war. Shortly
after that one of its Brigades, the Fifth Brigade, saved the situation at Damascus.
Then, after a comparatively short period of rest, the Fourth Division was engaged
in the whole of the fluctuating fighting in North Africa during 1941, 1942 and
1943, which ended in the march from El Alamein to the final surrender of Von
Arnim, the German Commander-in-Chief, to the Fourth Indian Division in Tunis.
Again, after a short rest, that Division was put into the line in Italy in January of
this year and has been engaged in constant battle up the length of the Italian penin-
sula, over ridge after ridge, crossing river after river; and when I was there the other
day they had just, alongside their comrades of the Canadian force, overrun the
enormously strong first two ridges of the Gothic Line on the Adriatic sector. After
a very few days of rest, I saw them starting this great battle of Rimini in which
they, the British and the Canadians, helped, I might add, by a gallant Greek
Brigade on the actual coastal sector, have successfully forced in a week of very
tough fighting the German lines and are now fanning out into the open plain
with, I think, the hope of making the Germans move a good deal faster than they
have moved hitherto.
The Eighth and Tenth Indian Divisions
I then saw the Eighth Division which, after good work in the Middle East,
landed in Italy more than a year ago, and has been fighting its way steadily up the
whole length of the Italian peninsula up to this last week, when it has taken its
full share in that attack upon the precipitous German mountain positions north
of Florence. While I was at the front I saw the American Commander of the Fifth
Army, that fine leader General Mark Clark, and I think I am justified in quoting
what he said to me about that Eighth Division. He said, "I am glad to have the
Eighth Indian Division in the Fifth Army. It is a very fine combat division indeed.
The Fighting Qualities of the Indian Army
During the past four weeks it has forced its way across the river Arno on its own
and has pushed over fifteen miles into the hills toward the Gothic Line. By doing
so it has saved the American Divisions, which are now about to be put in, and has
enabled them to start their attack without having to do the preliminary fighting
and building of jeep tracks through the hills. I hope the Eighth Indian Division
will stay with me in the Fifth Army." It did stay, and it has played its most
effective part on the right flank of the American Divisions in breaking through
that tremendous mountain barrier which the Germans thought insurmountable.
So much for the Eighth Indian Division.
The other Indian Division, the Tenth, played a very important part earlier in
the war in saving Iraq for the Allied cause. It is the latest arrival of the Indian
Divisions in Italy, but ever since its coming some four or five months ago it has
been continually in the battle front and has been conspicuous even among Indian
Divisions-and their value in this respect is admitted by everyone-in mountain
fighting. Gurkha troops, not least of all, have shown their hereditary skill in
mountain warfare. That Division, too, has at this moment been playing an im-
portant part in the general advance on the Italian Front and helped to push back
the Germans on its own sector.
Their Comrades in Arms
So much for the individual record of these Divisions. What I should like to
add is that they have won universal admiration, not only for their courage in the
field, but also for their admirable discipline and their good behavior behind the
front. They are not only on the best of terms with all the other divisions, British,
Dominions and American, but also with the Italian population. They have taken,
I might add, being mostly small farmers themselves, the keenest interest in Italian
farming; they are continually to be found in the peasants' homes studying their
way of life, and incidentally picking up Italian-with the result that you will find
British and New Zealand and Canadian troops conversing with their Indian col-
leagues in Italian and such few words of Urdu as they may manage to pick up.
As I said, they have won the appreciation and admiration of all the troops who
have fought with them. That applies above all to their British comrades in the
Division themselves-for I ought to remind you that these Indian Divisions all
contain a British element; as a rule there is one British battalion in every Brigade,
and the majority of the artillery in the Divisions is British, while the rest of the
fighting troops, infantry, armored troops and technical services-engineers, supply
services-are Indian. There is the completest brotherhood, friendship, between all
elements, officers and men, in those Divisions, and indeed it struck me that an
Indian Division was in effect a mutual admiration society between its British and
Indian elements. I think it is at any rate of interest to people in this country to
know something about the British battalions and regiments which have taken a
part in this Italian fighting as elements in these Indian Divisions, and as their
names have not been mentioned before, I have authority to mention them now.
They 're the Royal Fusiliers, the Royal Sussex, the Manchester Regiment, the
Essex Regiment, the Durham Light Infantry, the Cameron Highlanders, the Argyll
and Sutherland Highlanders, the Royal West Kent Regiment, and the King's Own
Royal Regiment. All these have been taking part as elements in the Indian Army
Divisions in this Italian fighting. What is true of the comradeship of men is also
true of the comradeship of officers. One thing that the experience of this war has
fully justified is the training of young Indian officers at Dehra Dun and the other
military colleges. These Indian officers have fully justified themselves by their
conduct in the field, by the decorations they have won and not least by the appre-
ciation of their British fellow officers. Some of them are already in command of
combatant units, and it is to them that the future of India will have to look for
British Speeches of the Day
the commanders of is armies in a time not so many years distant. Also I think
some of those who are not going to continue in a military career may bring to the
public life of India a wider knowledge of the world, an understanding of human
nature, that may make them very valuable elements in the future constitutional
development of their country.
On Other Fronts
I have dwelt on the record of the Indian Divisions in Italy and the past record
.of those particular Divisions, but of course the Indian Army as a whole has played
a much wider part. At the outset, when we stood alone in the world for over a
year, the Middle East could not have been saved and Lord Wavell's victories could
not have been accomplished but for the help of the Indian Divisions and of all
the supplies and munitions that India provided to the Middle East during that
period. Again, but for the Indian Army and the help it was able to send almost
instantaneously to Iraq in the critical moment, Iraq might have gone the wrong
way. German reinforcements had reached there, and if Iraq had gone it would
have been very difficult, if not impossible, to clear the Vichyites out of Syria, or to
undertake that occupation of Persia which was so essential to the relief of Russia
during the most critical portion of Russia's resistance to the German attack. It is
difficult indeed to imagine what the end of the war would have been if the whole
Middle East had gone at the same time that Japan was attacking India from the
other end. That contribution of the Indian Army to the common war effort is
well worth remembering when we get the whole picture of this war in its true
perspective, I have also said Something about the part India played in that most
difficult, and indeed tragic, retreat of our Forces through Malaya and Burma. It
was inevitable, when all our effort was strained here and in the Middle East to
keep things going, that we could not send the air support or the effective military
strength to hold that position; but, at any rate, what the Indian Army did during
those months gained invaluable time, and that time gained made possible that
further development of the Indian Army both in numbers and in equipment,
which has been responsible for that very striking success of the recent Burma cam-
paign and will, I believe, lead on as the next phase of the war develops, to even
greater successes until the second, and by no means the least dangerous and bar-
barous, of our enemies has been finally overcome.
RT. HON. WINSTON CHURCHILL
Prime Minister l
House of Commons, September 28, 1944
Little more than seven weeks have passed since we rose for the summer vacation,
but this short period has completely changed the face of the war in Europe. When
we separated, the Anglo-American Armies were still penned in the narrow bridge-
head and strip of coast from the base of the Cherbourg Peninsula to the approaches
to Caen, which they had wrested from the enemy several weeks before. The Brest
Peninsula was untaken, the German Army in the West was still hopeful of pre-
venting us from striking out into the fields of France, the Battle of Normandy,
which had been raging bloodily from the date of the landing, had not reached
any decisive conclusion. What a transformation now meets our eyes! Not only
'Paris, but practically the whole of France, has been liberated as if by enchantment.
Belgium has been rescued, part of Holland is already free, and the foul enemy,
The War and the International Situation 21
who for four years inflicted his cruelties and oppression upon these countries, has
fled, losing perhaps 400,000 in killed and wounded and leaving in our hands
nearly half a million prisoners. Besides this, there may well be 200,000 cut off
in the coastal fortresses or in Holland whose destruction or capture may now be
deemed highly probable. The Allied Armies have reached and in some places
crossed the German frontier and the Siegfried Line.
All these operations have been conducted under the supreme command of
General Eisenhower, and were the fruit of the world-famous Battle of Normandy,
the greatest and most decisive single battle of the entire war. Never has the ex-
ploitation of victory been carried to a higher perfection. The chaos and destruc-
tion wrought by the Allied Air Forces behind the battle front have been indescrib-
able in narrative and a factor of the utmost potency in the actual struggle. They
have far surpassed, and reduce to petty dimensions all that our Army had to suffer
from the German Air Force in 1940. Nevertheless, when we reflect upon the
tremendous fire power of modern weapons and the opportunity which they give
for defensive and delaying action, we must feel astounded at the extraordinary
speed with which the Allied Armies have advanced. The vast and brilliant en-
circling movement of the American Armies will ever be a model of military art,
and an example of the propriety of running risks not only in the fighting-because
most of the armies are ready to do that-but even more on the Q. side, or, as
the Americans put it, the logistical side. It was with great pleasure that all of us
saw the British and Canadian Armies, who had so long fought against heavy
resistance by the enemy along the hinge of the Allied movement, show themselves
also capable of lightning advances which have certainly not been surpassed any-
Not in Vain
Finally, by the largest airborne operation ever conceived or executed, a further
all-important forward bound in the north has been achieved. Here I must pay
a tribute, which the House will consider due, to the superb feat of arms performed
by our First Airborne Division. Full and deeply moving accounts have already
been given to the country and to the world of this glorious and fruitful operation,
which will take a lasting place in our military annals and will, in succeeding gen-
erations, inspire our youth with the highest ideals of duty and of daring. The
cost has been heavy; the casualties in a single division have been grievous; but for
those who mourn there is-at least the consolation that the sacrifice was not need-
lessly demanded nor given without results. The delay caused to tlAe enemy's ad-
vance upon Nijmegen enabled their British and American comrades in the other
two airborne divisions, and the British Second Army, to secure intact the vitally
important bridges and to form a strong bridgehead over the main stream of the
Rhine at Nijmegen. "Not in vain" may be the pride of those who have survived
and the epitaph of those who fell.
To return to the main theme, Brest, Havre, Dieppe, Boulogne and Antwerp
are already in our hands. All the Atlantic and Channel ports, from the Spanish
frontier to the Hook of Holland, will presently be in our possession, yielding fine
harbors and substantial masses of prisoners of war. All this has been accomplished
by the joint exertions of the British and American Armies, assisted by the vehe-
ment and widespread uprising and fighting efforts of the French Maquis. While
this great operation has been taking its course, an American and French landing
on the Riviera coast, actively assisted by a British airborne brigade, a British Air
Force and the Royal Navy, has lead with inconceivable rapidity to the capture of
Toulon and Marseilles, to the freeing of the great strip of the Riviera coast and
to the successful advance of General Patch's Army up the Rhone Valley. This
British Speeches of the Day
army, after taking over 80,000 prisoners, joined hands with General Eisenhower,
and has passed under his command. When I had the opportunity on 15th August
of watching-alas, from afar-the landing at San Tropez, it would ha e seemed
audacious to hope for such swift and important results. They have, however, under
the spell of the victories in the north, already been gained in superabundance and
in less than half the time prescribed and expected in the plans which were pre-
pared beforehand. So much for the fighting in France.
Nationalities in Italian Campaign
Simultaneously with that, very hard and successful fighting on a major scale
has also proceeded on the Italian Front. General Alexander, who commands the
armies in Italy with complete operational discretion, has under him the Fifth and
Eighth Armies. The Fifth Army, half American and half British, with whom are
serving the fine Brazilian Division, some of whose troops I had the opportunity
of seeing-a magnificent band of men-is commanded by the United States Gen-
eral Clark, an officer of the highest quality and bearing, with a proud record of
achievements behind him and his troops. The Eighth Army, under General Oliver
Leese, whose qualities are also of the highest order, comprises the Polish Corps
which fought so gallanty under General Anders, and a Greek Brigade which in
happier surroundings has already distinguished itself in the forefront of the battle.
There are also fighting on this Front a strong force of Italians, who are ardent to
free their country from the German grip and taint. This force will very soon be
more than double in strength. The Lieutenant of the Realm is often with these
The largest mass of all the troops on the Italian Front come, of course, from
the United Kingdom. Not far short of half the divisions on the whole Front are
from this island. Joined with them are New Zealand, Canadian, South African
and Indian Divisions, or perhaps I should say British-Indian Divisions, because,
as is sometimes forgotten, one-third of them are British. The British Army in Italy
includes also Palestinian units; and here I would mention the announcement, which
hon. Members may have read, and which I think will be appreciated and approved,
that the Government have decided to accede to the request of the Jewish Agency
for Palestine that a Jewish Brigade group should be formed to take part in active
operations. I know there are vast numbers of Jews serving with our Forces and
the American Forces throughout all the Armies, but it seems to me indeed appro-
priate that a special Jewish unit, a special unit of that race which has suffered
indescribable torments from the Nazis, should be represented as a distinct forma-
tion among the Forces gathered for their final overthrow, and I have no doubt
they will not only take part in the struggle but also in the occupation which will
A very hard task lies before the Army in Italy. It has already pierced at several
points the strong Gothic Line by which Kesselring has sought to defend the passage
of the Apennines. I had an opportunity of watching and following the advance
of the Eighth Army across the Metauro River, which began on 26th August. The
extraordinary defensive strength of the ground held by the enemy was obvious.
The mountain ridges rise one behind the other in a seemingly endless succession,
like the waves of the sea, and each had to be conquered or turned by superior
force and superior weapons. The process was bound to be lengthy and costly, but
it is being completed, has, in fact, been practically completed. At the same time,
General Clark's Fifth Army, advancing from the Florence area, has pierced deep
into the mountain ranges and, having broken the enemy's center, now stands on
the northern slopes of the Apennines at no great distance from Bologna, a place
of definite strategic importance. General Alexander has now definitely broken
The War and the International Situation
into the basin of the Po, but'here we exchange the barriers of mountain ridges
for the perpetual interruption of the ground by streams and canals. Nevertheless,
conditions henceforward will be more favorable for the destruction or rout of
Kesselring's Army, and this is the objective to which all British and Allied Forces
will be unceasingly bent. Further than that, it is not desirable to peer at the
Facts and Figures
I am now going to give a few facts and figures about the operations in Europe.
These have been very carefully chosen to give as much information as possible to
the House and to the public, while not telling the enemy anything he does not
already know, or only telling lim too late for it to be of any service to him. The
speed with which the mighty British and American Armies in France were built
up is almost incredible. In the first 24 hours a quarter of a million men were
landed, in the. teeth of fortified and violent opposition. By the 20th day 1,000,000
men were ashore. There are now between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 men in France.
Certainly the progress in the power of moving troops and landing troops has
vastly increased since the early days, when we had to plunge into the war with
no previous experience. But the actual number of soldiers was only part of the
problem of transportation. These armies were equipped with the most perfect
modern weapons and every imaginable contrivance of modern war, and an im-
mense artillery supported all their operations. Enormous masses of armor of the
highest quality and character gave them extraordinary offensive power and mobility.
Many hundreds of thousands of vehicles sustained their movements, many millions
of tons of stores have already been landed-the great bulk of everything over open
beaches or through the synthetic harbors which I described when last I spoke to
All this constitutes a feat of organization and efficiency which should excite
the wonder and deserve the admiration of all military students, as well as the
applause of the British and American nations and their Allies. I must pay my
tribute to the United States Army, not only in their valiant and ruthless battle-
worthy qualities, but also in the skill of their commanders and the excellence of
their supply arrangements. When one remembers that the United States four or
five years ago was a peace-loving Power, without any great body of troops or
munitions, and with only a very small regular Army to draw their commanders
from, the American achievement is truly amazing. After the intense training they
have received for nearly three years, or more than three years in some cases, their
divisions are now composed of regular professional soldiers whose military quality
is out of all comparison to hurriedly raised wartime levies. These soldiers, like
our own from Great Britain who have been even longer under arms, are capable
of being placed immediately on landing in the battle line, and have proved them-
selves more than a match for the so-called veteran troops of Germany who, though
fighting desperately, are showing themselves decidedly the worse for wear. When
I think of the measureless output of ships, munitions and supplies of all kinds
with which the United States has equipped herself and has sustained all the fight-
ing Allies in generous measure, and of the mighty war she is conducting, with
troops of our Australian and New Zealand Dominions, over the spaces of the
Pacific Ocean, this House may indeed salute our sister nation as being at the
highest pinnacle of her power and fame.
Honor for All
I am very glad to say that we also have been able to make a worthy contribu-
tion. Some time ago, a statement was made by a Senator to the effect that the
British Speeches of the Day
American public would be shocked to learn that they would have to provide 80
per cent of the Forces to invade the Continent. I then said that at the outset of the
invasion of France the British and American Forces would be practically equal,
but that thereafter the American build-up would give them steadily the lead. I am
glad to say that after 120 days of fighting we still bear, in the cross-Channel troops,
a proportion of two to three in personnel and of four to five-and-a-half in fighting
divisions in France. Casualties have followed very closely the proportions of the
numbers. In fact, these troops fight so level that the casualties almost exactly follow
the numbers engaged. We have, I regret to say, lost upwards of 90,000 men,
killed, wounded and missing, and the United States, including General Patch's
Army, over 145,000. Such is the price in blood paid by the English-speaking
democracies for the actual liberation of the soil of France.
When this view is extended to cover the entire European scene and the cam-
paigns both in France and Italy, it will be a source of satisfaction to the House
to know that after more than five years of war, we still maintain almost exactly
the same number of divisions, taking both theatres together, in full action against
the enemy as the United States have, by all the shipping resources which can be
employed, yet been able to send to Europe. Considering that the population of
the Empire-of British race-is only 70,000,000, and that we have sustained
many losses in the early years of the war, it certainly is a remarkable effort and one
which was most fully and cordially recognized by our American colleagues, the
Chiefs of Staff and others at the recent Conference at Quebec.
In thus trying to do justice to the British and American achievements, we must
never forget, as I reminded the House before we separated, the measureless serv-
ices which Russia has rendered to the common cause, through long years of suffer-
ing, by tearing out the life of the German military monster. The terms in which
Marshal Stalin recently, in conversation, has referred to our efforts in the West
have been of such a generous and admiring character that I feel, in my turn, bound
to point out that Russia is holding and beating far larger hostile forces than those
which face the Allies in the West, and has through long years, at enormous loss,
borne the brunt of the struggle on land. There is honor for all. It is a matter of
rejoicing that we, for our part and in our turn, have struck resounding blows, and
it is right that they should be recorded among the other feats of arms so loyally
performed throughout the Grand Alliance.
Burma: The True Picture
I must again refer to the subject of the campaign in Burma on which I touched
in my last statement to the House. I was somewhat concerned to observe from my
reading of the American Press, in which I indulged during my stay on the other
side, that widespread misconception exists in the public mind, so far as that is
reflected by the newspapers, about the scale of our effort in Burma and the results
to date of Admiral Mountbatten's campaign. Many important organs of United
States' opinion seem to give the impression that the British campaign in Burma of
1944 had been a failure, or at least a stalemate, that nothing much had been done,
and that the campaign was redeemed by the brilliant capture of Myitkyina-which
I may say is spelt "Myitkyina" but pronounced "Michynaw"-by General Stilwell
at the head of an American regiment of very high-class commando troops and with
the assistance of the Chinese. That is the picture, but I must, therefore, set matters
in their true light. It is well known that the United States has been increasingly
engaged in establishing an air route to China capable of carrying immense supplies,
and, by astounding efforts and at vast cost, they are now sending over the terrible
Himalayas, or the Hump as it is called in the Army, I will not say how many times
as much as the Burma Road has ever carried in its palmiest days, or will carry for
The War 'and the International Situation
several years to come; an incredible feat of transportation-over mountains 20,000
or 22,000 feet high in the air, over ground where an engine failure means certain
death to the pilot-has been performed by a main effort which the United States
made in their passionate desire to aid the resistance of China. Certainly no more
prodigious example of strength, science and organization in this class of work has
ever been seen or dreamed of.
Along the Eastern Frontier of India stands the 14th British Imperial Army
comprising the main war effort of India, including some of the most famous Indian
Divisions from the Middle East and a substantial proportion of United Kingdom
troops and Divisions, together with some excellent Divisions from Africa-native
Divisions from Africa, West Africa principally. This Army under Admiral Mount-
batten-amounting to between 250,000 and 300,000 men, apart from rearward
services which, in that theatre of extraordinary long and precarious communica-
tions, are very great-has by its aggressive operation guarded the base of the Ameri-
can air line to China and protected India against the horrors of a Japanese invasion.
Once again, India and her vast population have reposed serenely among the tumults
and hurricanes of the world behind the Imperial shield. The fact should sometimes
be noted that under British rule in the last 80 years incomparably fewer people
have perished by steel or firearms in India than in any similar area or community
on the globe.
As the population has increased by 50,000,000 in the last 10 years it is evident
that the famine, which was caused by military conditions last year affecting trans-
port, is by no means representative of the administration under which the broad
peninsula and'triangle of India has met an increase in population exceeding the
speed of any increase in any other country throughout the whole world. I think it
a very remarkable fact that India has received this shelter and has been this vast
harbor of peace, protected by the arms and policy of Great Britain, protected also
by the care and attention of this House. In this the brave fighting races of India
have at all times borne a most honorable and memorable part..
Largest Campaign Against Japan
I regret to say the fighting on the Burma Front throughout the year has been
most severe and continuous, and there were times when the issue in particular locali-
ties appeared to hang in doubt. However, the 10 Japanese Divisions which were
launched against us with the object of invading India and cutting the airline have
been repulsed and largely shattered as the result of a bloody and very costly cam-
paign which is still being continued in spite of the monsoon conditions. How
costly this campaign has been in disease may be judged from the fact that in the
first six months only of this present year the 14th British Imperial Army sustained
no fewer than 237,000 cases of sickness which had to be evacuated to the rear over
the long, difficult communications and tended in hospital. More than 90 per cent.
of these cases returned within six months, but the ceaseless drain upon the Army
and the much larger numbers required to maintain a fighting strength, in spite of
this drain, in the neighborhood of a quarter of a million may well be imagined.
When you have a loss and drain like that going on, much larger numbers are needed
to maintain your limited fighting strength. In addition, there were over 40,000
battle casualties in the first six months, that is to say, to the end.of June, and the
number has certainly increased by now.
I think these facts ought to be known; I think they ought to be given wide pub-
licity as I am sure they will now that I have stated them, because the campaign
of Admiral Mountbatten on the Burma Frontier constitutes-and this is a startling
fact-the largest and most important ground fighting that has yet taken place
against the armies of Japan. Far from being an insignificant or disappointing stale-
British Speeches of the Day
mate, it constitutes the greatest collision which has yet taken place on land with
Japan, and has resulted in the slaughter of between 50,000 and 60,000 Japanese
and the capture of several hundred prisoners. The Japanese Army has recoiled be-
fore our troops in deep depression, and heavily mauled. We have often, too, found
cirdes of their corpses in the jungle where each one had committed suicide in
succession, the officer, who had supervised the proceedings, blowing out his own
brains last of all. We did not ask them to come there, and it is entirely their own
choice that they find themselves in this difficult position.
We must expect, however, a renewal of the Japanese offensive as soon as the
monsoon is over, and every preparation is being made to meet it with the utmost
vigor. Nelson said, "If in doubt a captain cannot do wrong if he places his ship
alongside one of the enemy." The engagement of the Japanese on the largest pos-
sible scale on land-and certainly not less in the air-is part of the official wearing-
down process which marks the present phase of the war against Japan, and this
function our 14th Army has certainly discharged with the utmost fidelity and suc-
cess in spite of the inordinately heavy toll of disease. I trust that this toll will be
markedly reduced in future operations. We have discovered many preventive of
tropical disease, and, above all, against the onslaught of insects of all kinds, from
lice to mosquitoes and back again.
The excellent D.D.T. powder, which has been fully experimented with and
found to yield astonishing results, will henceforward be used on a great scale by
the British Forces in Burma and by American and Australian Forces in the Pacific
and, indeed, in all theatres, together with other remedies constantly improving, and
these will make their effect continually manifest. The Japanese, I may mention,
also suffer from jungle diseases and malaria which are an offset against the very
heavy losses which are suffered by our Indian and white and African troops. These
remedies will be a help to all the Allies; indeed, they have been a help. The eradi-
cation of lice in Naples by the strict hygienic measures taken may be held to have
averted a very grievous typhus epidemic in that city and neighborhood when we
occupied it. I can assure the House that the war against the Japanese and other
diseases of the jungle will be pressed forward with the utmost energy.
I must here note with keen regret that in spite of the lavish American help that
has been poured into China, that great country, worn by more than seven years of
war, has suffered from severe military reverses involving the loss of valuable air-
fields upon which the American squadrons of General Chennault were counting.
This, of course, is disappointing and vexatious. When we survey the present state
of the European and Asiatic wars as a whole, the House will, I am sure, whole-
heartedly acclaim the skill and enterprise of the generals and the tireless courage
and fighting qualities of the troops, and they may even feel disposed to view with-
out any special mark of disapprobation the management, combination and design
which it reveals on the part of the Allied staffs, and even on the part of the Gov-
But we must not forget that we owe a great debt to the blunders-the extra-
ordinary blunders-of the Germans. I always hate to compare Napoleon with
Hitler, as it seems an insult to the great Emperor and warrior to connect him in
any way with a squalid caucus boss and butcher. But there is one respect in which
I must draw a parallel. Both these men were temperamentally unable to give up the
tiniest scrap of any territory to which the high watermark of their hectic fortunes
had carried them. Thus, after Leipzig in 1813, Napoleon left all his garrisons on
the Rhine, 40,000 men in Hamburg. He refused to withdraw many other vitally
important elements of his armies, and he had to begin the campaign of 1814 with
The War and the International Situation
raw levies and a few seasoned troops brought in a hurry from Spain. Similarly,
Hitler has successfully scattered the German armies all over Europe, and by obstinat-
ing at every point from Stalingrad and Tunis down to the present moment, he has
stripped himself of the power to concentrate in main strength for the final struggle.
He has lost, or will lose when the tally is complete, nearly 1,000,000 men in
France and the Low Countries. Other large armies may*well be cut off in the
Baltic States, in Finland and in Norway. Less than a year ago, when the relative
weakness of Germany was already becoming apparent, he was orderiAg further
aggressive action in the Aegean and the reoccupation of the islands which the
Italians had surrendered, or wished to surrender. He has scattered and squandered
a very large army in the Balkan Peninsula, whose escape will be very difficult; 27
divisions, many of them battered, are fighting General Alexander in Northern Italy.
Many of these will not be able to recross the Alps to defend the German Father-
land. Such a vast frittering away and dispersal of forces has never been seen, and
is, of course, a prime cause of the impending ruin of Germany.
When Herr Hitler escaped his bomb on 20th July he described his survival as
providential; I think that from a purely military point of view we can all agree
with him, for certainly it would be most unfortunate if the Allies were to be de-
prived, in the closing phases of the struggle, of that form of warlike genius by
which Corporal Schickelgruber has so notably contributed to our victory. There
is a great deal more mopping up to be done in the Low Countries and in some of
the French Atlantic ports, and the harbors have to be cleared and developed on the
greatest scale possible before the winter gales. Problems of supply have to be re-
solved on the morrow of the prodigious British and American advances, and I
deprecate very much people being carried away into premature expectations of an
immediate cessation of the fighting. It is very hard not to be, when, each day, the
papers are filled-rightly filled-with the news of the captures of important places
and of advances of the armies; but there is still a great deal to be done in the
Death Agony of Nazidom
Hitherto, as I have said, during the first four critical months in Europe, we
have managed to be an equal, or almost equal, partner with the United States,
but now, of course, the great flow of their well-trained divisions from across the
Atlantic will, step by step, carry them decisively into the leading position, and,
unless organized German resistance collapses in the near future, enormous addi-
tional United States Forces will be brought to bear in the final struggle. I shall
certainly not hazard a guess-it could be no more-as to when the end will come.
Many persons of the highest technical attainments, knowledge and responsibility
have good hopes that all will be over by the end of 1944. On the other hand, no
one, and certainly not I, can guarantee that several months of 1945 may not be
There is also a possibility that after the organized resistance of the German
Army and State is completely broken, fierce warfare may be maintained in the for-
ests and mountains of Germany by numbers of desperate men, conscious of their
own guilt and impending doom. These, of course, would, at a certain stage, deserve
the treatment which the Germans have so ruthlessly meted out to guerilla move-
ments in other countries. It may be necessary for the Allies to declare at a certain
date that the actual warfare against the German State has come to an end and that
a period of mopping up of bandits and war criminals has begun. No one can
foresee exactly what form the death agony of Nazidom will take. For us, the
important decision will be to choose the moment when substantial forces can be
withdrawn from Europe to intensify the war against Japan. We certainly do not
British Speeches of the Day
consider that the declared date of the ending of the war against Germany must
necessarily be postponed until the last desperado has been tracked down in his
There is no doubt that surpassing victories gained in common make a very
agreeable foundation for inter-Allied Conferences like that which has just finished.
It is really very much better and very much more pleasing to share victories than
it is to share disasters. We have shared both, and I can tell the House that the
former is'in every way a more exhilarating process. I took occasion to associate
Canadian, Australian and New Zealand representatives with our work. I have
also, with our Chiefs of the Staff, attended a meeting of the Dominion of Canada
Cabinet and have received both from Mr. Mackenzie King and Mr. Curtin the most
cordial expressions of satisfaction at the manner in which our affairs were con-
ducted and of agreement in the decisions taken. I have also been in very full
correspondence, as I often am, with Field-Marshal Smuts and also with Mr. Fraser.
Certainly when the President and I with our respective staffs met at Quebec, we
had behind us a record of successful war which justified feelings of solemn satis-
faction, and warmed the glow of our brotherhood in arms.
It is now two years almost to a day since Rommel's final offensive against
Cairo was repulsed by the newly appointed Generals Alexander and Montgomery,
a month before their decisive victory at Alamein, and since that time our affairs
all over the world, and the affairs of our mighty ally Russia, have proceeded with-
out a single reverse of any kind, except only 'the loss of Leros and Cos in the
Aegean, and even those will ultimately turn out to be a loss to Hitler rather than to
the Allies. Such a long and mounting tide of victory is unexampled in history.
The principal Governments of the Allies have every right to claim the confidence
of the United Nations in the hew efforts that will be required from all of us and
in the further designs which have been conceived and shaped and have still to be
unfolded in action. Complete agreement on every point was reached at Quebec by
the Combined Chiefs of Staff. The President and I have both pursued a policy
of making no changes other than those enforced by death, as in the lamented loss
of Admiral Pound, in the Chiefs of the Staff charged with the conduct of the war.
Our Perseverence in the Japanese Quarrel
In this country there have been none of those differences between the profes-
sional and the political elements such as were evident in a large measure in the
former war. We have worked together in perfect harmony. Our confidence in the
Chiefs of Staff-British confidence and the confidence of the War Cabinet-has
steadily grown. In consequence of the fact that there have been no changes, the
men who met together at Quebec knew each other well, were united in bonds of
comprehension and friendship, and had the whole picture and sequences of the
war ingrained in their minds and in their very being. When you have lived through
all these things you do not have to turn up musty files to remember what happened
on particular occasions. Men's minds are shaped from day to day by what they
live through; and the discussions on that level between these high officers is very,
very quick and swift.
Obviously, our discussions were concerned with the successful winding up of
the war in Europe by bringing about the unconditional surrender of Germany at
the earliest moment, and also with the new phase of the war against Japan which
will dominate all minds and command all resources from the .moment when the
German war is ended. On behalf of His Majesty's Government, nearly two years
ago, I assured the President that Great Britain would pursue the war against Japan
with all her strength and resources to the very end. As I explained to Congress
when I last addressed them, we have losses to repair and injuries to repay on the
The War and the International Situation
Japanese account at least equal to, if not indeed greater than, those suffered by the
United States. We owe it to Australia and New Zealand to help them to remove
forever the Japanese menace to their homelands; and as they have helped us on
every front in the fight against Germany, we will certainly not be behindhand in
giving them effective aid.
Our perserverance in this quarrel is not to be doubted. I offered some time ago
to embody this undertaking in a definite treaty, but the President made the courte-
ous reply that the British word was enough. That word we shall certainly make
good. Accordingly, we offered to the United States the fine, modern British Fleet,
and we asked that it should be employed in the major operations against Japan.
This offer was at once cordially accepted. A large portion of this fleet is already
gathered in the Indian Ocean. For a year past, our modern battleships have been
undergoing a further measure of modernization and tropicalization to meet the
rapid wartime changes in technical apparatus. We have already, nine months ago,
begun the creation of an immense Fleet train, comprising many vessels, large and
medium, specially fitted as repair ships, recreation ships for personnel, provision
and munition ships and many modern variants, in order that our Fleet may have a
degree of mobility which for several months together will make them largely inde-
pendent of main shore bases. A substantial portion of the vessels which we shall
use for this purpose have been building in Canada, for it is found better and more
economical to adapt new merchant ships while they are building to the exact pur-
pose they have to fulfil than to convert existing vessels, although that process has
also been carried very far. Thus we hope to place in the Pacific a fleet capable in
itself of fighting a general action with the Japanese Navy and which, added to the
far greater United States naval power, should give a naval command in all these
vast ocean spaces and seas of the most complete and decisive character.
The Limiting Factors
One must certainly contemplate that a phase in the war against Japan will be
the severe, intense, prolonged and ever-increasing air bombardment to which the
Japanese mainland installations and munitions centers will be subjected. In this
also we shall bear our part to the utmost limit which the bases will allow. As for
the land or amphibious operations which the British Empire will conduct, these
must rightly be veiled in mystery. Suffice it to say that the scale of our effort will
be limited only by the available shipping. In this however we may presently receive
a magnificent addition. The end of the U-boat war, when it comes, will allow us
to go out of convoy in the Western Hemisphere, thus adding at a bound at least
25 per cent to the efficient carrying capacity of our Mercantile Marine, and a larger
percentage to the carrying capacity of tankers.
I must, however, add a word of caution about taking too optimistic views of the
speed at which this great transference of forces can be made from one side of the
world to the other. Not only will the Allied shipping, vast as it is and far greater
as it is than at the beginning of the war, be a limiting factor, but the development
of bases, the accumulation of stores and supplies and the construction and protection
of airfields all impose restraints upon those vivid, imaginative strategists who carry
fleets and armies across the globe as easily as they would help themselves to a plate
of soup. The huge distances, the tropical conditions and other physical facts added
to the desperate resistance of the enemy, make the war against Japan an enterprise
of the first magnitude, and it will be necessary to use to the full the resources of
machinery and science to enable our armies to do their work under the most favor-
able conditions and with the least sacrifice of Allied life. When all these aspects
are considered, the House may rest assured that the entire brain and technical
power of Great Britain and the United States will be ceaselessly employed, and
British Speeches of the Day
having regard to the results already obtained in so many directions, one may feel
good confidence that it will not be employed in vain. . .
When we were last assembled here I had completed a review of the military
situation which, although not by any means complete or exhaustive, yet, I trust, gave
the general outline of our position at the present time from the point of view of
one who has special opportunities of seeing things in their broad perspective. The
foreign situation has responded to military events. Never was the alliance against
Germany of the three great Powers more close or more effective. Divergencies of
view and interest there must necessarily be, but at no time have these been allowed
to affect in any way the majestic march of events in accordance with the decisions
and agreements at Teheran. One by one, in rapid succession, the satellite States
have writhed or torn themselves free from the Nazi tyranny, and, as is usual in
such cases, the process has not been one from alliance with Germany to neutrality,
but from alliance with Germany to war. This has taken place in Roumania and
Bulgaria. Already there is fighting between the Finns and the Germans. The Ger-
mans, in accordance with their usual practice and character, are leaving a trail of
burnt and blackened villages behind them, even in the land of their unhappy
Hungary is still in the Nazi grip, but when, as will happen, that grip is broken
by the steel hammer blows of war, or when it relaxes by reason of the internal
lesions and injuries of the tyrant, the Hungarian people will turn their weapons,
with all their remaining strength, against those who have led them through so much
suffering to their present ruin and defeat. The armistice terms agreed upon for
Finland and Rumania bear, naturally, the imprint of the Soviet will-and here I
must draw attention to the restraint which has characterized the Soviet treatment of
these two countries, both of which marched blithely behind Hitler in his attempted
destruction of Russia, and both of which added their quota of injuries to the im-
mense volume of suffering which the Russian people have endured, have survived,
and have triumphantly surmounted.
The Bulgarian armistice terms have not yet been signed. The Soviet interven-
tion in this theatre was at once startling and effective. Their sudden declaration of
war against Bulgaria was sufficient to induce Bulgaria to turn her catiff armies
against the German intruders. Britain and the United States have long been at
war with Bulgaria and have now joined with the Soviets in framing suitable armis-
tice conditions. The Bulgarian people have been plunged by their leaders in the
last 35 years into three wrongful, forlorn and disastrous wars, and in this last
war we cannot forget the many acts of cruelty and wickedness for which they have
been responsible both to Greece and Yugoslavia. They have suffered nothing them-
selves. No foot has been set upon their soil. Apart from some air bombardment,
they have suffered nothing. Some of the worst war criminals are Bulgarians. The
conduct of their troops in harrying and trying to hold down, at Hitler's orders,
their two sorely-pressed small neighbors, Greece and Yugoslavia, is a shameful
page for which full atonement must be exacted. They may want to be treated as
co-belligerents. So far as Great Britain is concerned, they must work their passage
for a long time and in no uncertain fashion before we can accord them any special
status, in view of the injuries that our Allies Greece and Yugoslavia have sustained
at their hands. In the meantime, let them march and destroy all the Germans they
can find in enemy lands. We do not want them in those of our Allies. This is
the only path which will serve them and their interests. The more vigor with
which they fall upon the Germans, the more they will be likely to draw the atten-
tion of the victorious nations in arms from their previous misdeeds.
The War and the International Situation
It would be affectation to pretend that the attitude of the British and, I believe,
the United States Governments towards Poland is identical with that of the Soviet
Union. Every allowance must be made for the different conditions of history and
geography which governs the relationship of the Western democracies on the one
hand and of the Soviet Government on the other with the Polish nation. Marshal
Stalin has 'repeatedly declared himself in favor of a strongly, friendly Poland,
sovereign and independent. In this our great Eastern Ally is in the fullest accord
with His Majesty's Government and also, judging from American public state-
ments, in the fullest accord with the United States. We in this island and through-
out our Empire who drew the sword against mighty Germany, we who are the
only great unconquered nation which declared war on Germany on account of her
aggression against Poland, have sentiments and duties towards Poland which deeply
stir the British race. Everything in our power has been and will be done to achieve,
both in the letter and in the spirit, the declared purposes towards Poland of the
three great Allies.
Territorial changes on the frontiers of Poland there will have to' be. Russia
has a right to our support in this matter, because it is the Russian armies which
alone can deliver Poland from the German talons; and after all the Russiar people
have suffered at the hands of Germany they are entitled to safe frontiers and to
have a friendly neighbor on their Western flank. All the more do I trust that the
Soviet Government will make it possible for us to act unitedly with them in the
solution of the Polish problem, and that we shall not witness the unhappy spectacle
of rival Governments in Poland, one recognized by the Soviet Union and the other
firmly adhered to by the Western Powers. I have fervent hopes that M. Mikola-
jczyk, the worthy successor of General Sikorski, a man firmly desirous of friendly
understanding and settlement with Rpssia, and his colleagues may shortly resume
those important conversations at Moscow which were interrupted some months ago.
It is my duty to impress upon the House the embarrassment to our affairs and
the possible injury to Polish fortunes which might be caused by intemperate
language about Polish and Russian relations in the course of this Debate. It is
my firm hope, and also my belief, that a good arrangement will be achieved and
that a united Polish Government will be brought into being, which will command
the confidence of the three great Powers concerned and will assure for Poland
those conditions of strength, sovereignty and independence which we have all three
proclaimed as our aim and our resolve. Nothing is easier than to create by violent
words a prospect far less hopeful than that which now opens before us. Hon.
Members will take upon themselves a very grave responsibility if they embroil them-
selves precipitately in these controversies and thus mar the hopes we cherish of an
honorable and satisfactory solution and settlement. We recognize our special re-
sponsibilities towards Poland, and I am confident that I can trust the House not
to engage in language which would make our task harder.
We must never lose sight of our prime and overwhelming duty, namely, to
bring about the speediest possible destruction of the Nazi power. We owe this to
the soldiers, who are shedding their blood and giving their lives in the cause at
this moment. They are shedding their blood in the effort to bring this fearful
struggle in Europe to a dose; and that must be our paramount task. Every prob-
lem-and there are many; they are as legion; they crop up in vast array-which
now faces the nations of the world will present itself in a far easier and more
adaptable form once the cannons have ceased to thunder in Europe and once the
victorious Allies gather round the table of armistice or peace. I have every hope
that wise and harmonious settlements will be made, in confidence and amity, be-
tween the great Powers thus affording the foundations upon which to raise a last-
British Speeches of the Day
ing structure of European and world peace. I say these words on the Polish situ-
ation; and I am sure that our friends on both sides will realize how long and
anxious has been the study which the Cabinet have given to this matter, how con-
stantly we see representatives of the Poles, how frequent and intimate our corre-
spondence is with Russia on this subject.
I cannot conceive that it is not possible to make a good solution whereby Russia
gets the security which she is entitled to have, and which I have resolred that we
shall do our-utmost to secure for her, on her, Western Frontier, and, at the same
time, the Polish Nation have restored to them that national sovereignty and inde-
pendence, for which, across centuries of oppression and struggle, they have never
ceased to strive.
Prime Minister's Visit to Italy
Turning to another difficult and tangled problem, the House will already have
read the joint statement by the President and myself which we drafted together,
embodying a very definite and distinct improvement and mitigation in our relation-
ships with the Italian Government. During my visit to Italy, I had an opportunity
of seeing the leaders of all parties, from the extreme Right to the extreme Com-
munist: All the six parties represented in the Italian Government came to the
British Embassy, and I had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of all the
different Ministers who are working together, as well as they can, in conditions
necessarily difficult and depressing. I had conversations with the Prime Minister,
Senor Bonomi, and also talked with him and Marshal Badoglio together. They
are friends. The Marshal has very faithfully observed the conditions imposed by
the armistice a year ago. He has done his best to send all Italian forces, particularly
naval forces, into the struggle against Germany, and he has worked steadfastly
for the improvement of relations between Italy and Britain and between Italy and
the Allies. His behavior on leaving office, in giving cordial support to his successor,
is also creditable. Finally, I had the advantage of an interview with the Lieutenant
of the Realm, whose sincerity and ardor in the Allied cause and whose growing
stature in Italian eyes are equally apparent. . .
What impressed and touched me most in my journey through Italy was the ex-
traordinary goodwill to the British and American troops everywhere displayed by
the Italian people. As I drove through the small towns and villages behind the
line of the armies day after day, the friendliness and even enthusiasm of the
peasants, workmen and shopkeepers, indeed, of all classes, was spontaneous and
convincing. I cannot feel-I make my confession-any sentiments of hostility
towards the mass of the misled or coerced Italian people. Obviously, no final set-
tlement can be made with them or with their Government until the North of Italy
and its great cities have been liberated and the basis on which the present Govern-
ment stands has been broadened and strengthened. There are good hopes that
this will be achieved, I might say soon, but it would be safer to say in due course.
Indeed, it would be a miserable disaster if the Italian people, after all their mal-
treatment by their former Allies and by the Fascist remnants still gathered round
Mussolini, were to emerge form the European struggle only to fall into violent in-
ternal feuds. It was for that reason, on leaving Rome, that I tried to set before
the Italian nation some of those broad simple, liberal safeguards and conceptions,*

We were, all of us, shocked by the horrible lynching outrage which occurred in

The War and the International Situation
must be taken to prevent outbreaks of mob vengeance, however great the provaca-
tion may have been, and, for this, responsibility rests, not only with the. Italian Gov-
ernment, but ultimately with the Allied military power. Punishments for criminals
who have committed most cruel, barbarous acts under the orders of the Germans,
of men who have made themselves the agents of the betrayal of the 300 or 400
hostages shot en masse in the catacombs of Rome-punishment for them there must
certainly be, but it must be the punishment of courts of justice, with the strictest
adherence to the forms and principles of justice. This shameful incident has been
a baffling factor in the Italian scene. Nevertheless, it has not deterred us from
issuing the joint statement to which I have already referred, and which, so far as
Great Britain is concerned, was, of course, approved by the War Cabinet before I
gave my agreement to it.
France Set Free
I turn from the Italian scene. Nothing has given the British nation and the
King's Dominions all over the world more true joy than the wonderful spectacle
of the rescue of France by the British and American arms, of the rescue of France
from the horrible oppression of the Hun under which she has writhed or languished
for four hideous years. It is now nearly 40 years since I first became convinced
that the fortunes of Great Britain and France were interwoven, and that their
military resources. must be combined in the most effective manner, by alliance and
agreement and plan, and I think I can claim to have pursued this object through
all the changing scenes we have witnesses, not only before and during the last war,
but in the uneasy interval between the two wars, and not only in years of suc-
cess, but during the period of blackest disaster, and also during periods when there
was friction on other grounds between the two countries.
Bearing in mind some mistakes in our own policy between the war; bearing in
mind also the failure of the League of Nations, in, consequence, largely, of the
falling out of America, and other weaknesses for which other Powers are re-
sponsible, to give general security to the world; bearing in mind the withdrawal of
the United States from the Anglo-American guarantee against German aggression
promised by President Wilson, on the strength of which France relinquished her
claims on the Rhine frontier, bearing in mind, above everything, the loss of nearly
2,000,000 men which France, with her small and declining population, sustained
in bearing the brunt, as she bore it, of the last war, and the terrible effect of this
unexampled blood-letting upon the whole heart beat, the life heart beat, of France;
bearing all this, and much else, in mind, I have always felt the liveliest sympathy
for the French in the years when we watched, supinely, the dreadful and awe-
inspiring growth of the German power.
It will be remembered that we told the French Government that we would not
reproach them for making a separate peace in the fearful circumstances of June,
1940, provided they sent their Fleet out of the reach and power of the Germans.
The terms of the Cabinet offer to France in this tragical hour are also on record.
I, therefore, have never felt anything but compassion for the French people as a
whole who found themselves deprived of all power of resistance and could
not share the good fortune of those who, from our shores or in the French Empire,
had the honor and opportunity to continue the armed struggle. What could a
humble, ordinary man do? He might be on the watch for opportunity, but he
might be rendered almost powerless. The Maquis have shown one way in which,
at the end, and after much suffering, and having overcome all the difficulties of
getting weapons, free men may strike a blow for the honor and life of their coun-
try; but that is given to the few, to the young and active, those who can obtain
British Speeches of the Day
Recognition as Soon as Possible
For my part, I have always felt that the heart of the French nation was sound
and true, and that they would rise again in greatness and power, and that we
should be proud to have taken a part in aiding them to recover their place in the
van of the nations and at the summit of the cultural life of the world. Long have
we looked forward to the day when British and American troops would enter
again the fields of France, and, regardless of loss and sacrifice, drive the foe before
them from towns and cities famous in history, and often sacred to us for the mem-
ories of the last war and of the dear ones, whose memories abide with us and who
rest in French soil. Often have we longed to receive, and dreamed of receiving, the
gratitude and blessings of the French people as our delivering Armies advanced.
This has been given to us in unstinted measure, and it has been, indeed, a glorious
experience to witness and a glorious experience for the Armies to enjoy this mar-
vellous transformation of scene, and for us to feel that we have acted up to our
duties as a faithful Ally to the utmost limit of our strength.
I have repeatedly stated that it is the aim, policy and interest of His Majesty's
Government, of this country of Great Britain, and of the Commonwealth and Em-
pire to see erected once more, at the earliest moment, a strong, independent and
friendly France. I have every hope that this will soon be achieved. The French
people, working together as they must do for their lives and future, in unity of pur-
pose, with sincerity and courage, have a great chance of building a new and un-
divided France who will take her rightful place among the leading nations of
In my last statement to the House, I spoke of the importance of including
representatives of France in all the discussions affecting the Rhine frontier and a
general settlement of West Germany. Hitherto by force of circumstances, the
French Algiers Committee could not be a body representative of France as a whole.
Now, however, progress has been made. Naturally, that body has new elements
especially amongst those who formed the Maquis and resistance movements and
among those who raised the glorious revolt in Paris, which reminded us of the
famous days of the Revolution, when France and Paris struck a blow that opened
the path broadly for all the nations of the world. Naturally, we, and, I believe, the
United States and the Soviet Union, are most anxious to see emerge an entity
which can truly be said to speak in the name of the people of France-the whole
people of France. It would now seem possible to put into force the decree of the
Algiers Committee whereby, as an interim stage, the Legislative Assembly would
be transformed into an elected body, reinforced by the addition of new elements
drawn from inside France. To this body, the French Committee of National Liber-
ation would be responsible. Such a step, once taken, when seen to have the ap-
proval of the French people, would greatly strengthen the position of France and
would render possible that recognition of the Provisional Government of France,
and those consequences thereof, which we all desire to bring about at the earliest
moment. I dose no doors upon a situation which is in constant flux and develop-
ment. The matter is urgent, however, for those, of whom I am one, who desire
to see France take her place at the earliest moment in the high councils of the
Allies. We are now engaged in discussing these matters both with the French and
with other Allied governments, and I am hopeful that, in the near future, a happy
settlement will be reached to the satisfaction of all concerned.
The Low Countries
I should like to take this opportunity to express our gratification and pride at
the part played by British troops in the liberation of Belgium. The House will
have read of the tumultuous welcome with which our troops were everywhere
The War and the International Situation
greeted by the Belgian people. This also I regard as a happy augury for the main-
tenance and strengthening of the ties of friendship between our two countries.
Many hundreds of thousands of our dead sleep on Belgian soil, and the inde-
pendence of that country has always been a matter sacred to us as well as enjoined
by our policy. I should like to acknowledge in this House the many agreeable
things that were said about this country in the Belgian Parliament when it re-
assembled last week. I trust that the day is not far distant when our Forces will
also have completed their task of liberating the territory of our staunch and sorely
tried friends and allies in Holland-allies in the war of the Spanish Succession
and in all the struggles for the establishment of freedom in Europe. They are
also very near to us in thought and sympathy and their interests at home, and
also abroad, command British support and are largely interwoven with our own
I have had to deal with these countries one by one. I now come to the broader
aspect, as far as I can touch upon it today, which can only be in a very tentative
and partial manner. Since 21st August conversations between representatives of
this country, the United States and the Soviet Union have been taking place at
Dumbarton Oaks, in the United States, on the future organization of the world
for preventing war. It is expected that similar conversations will follow between
the United Kingdom and the American delegations with the representatives of
China. These conversations have been on the official level only and do not in
any way bind the Governments represented. There has, however, been assembled
a body of principles and the outline of the kind of structure which in one form
or another it is the prime purpose of the Allies to erect after the unconditional
surrender and total disarmament of Germany have been accomplished. His
Majesty's Government could have had no abler official representative than Sir
Alexander Cadogan, and there is no doubt that a most valuable task has been dis-
charged. The whole scene has been explored and many difficulties have been not
merely discovered, but adjusted. There are, however, still some important ques-
tions outstanding, and we ought not to be hurried into decisions upon which united
opinion by the various Governments responsible is not at present ripe. It would
not be prudent to press in a hurry for momentous decisions governing the whole
future of the world. The House must realize-and I am sure it does realize, I
can see by the whole attitude of the House today that it fully realizes-that it is
one thing for us here to form and express our own opinions on these matters and
another to have them accepted by other Powers as great as we are.
There is another warning which I would venture to give to the House, and
that is, not to be startled or carried away by sensational reports and stories which
emanate from the other side of the Atlantic. There is an election on, and very
vivid accounts of all kinds of matters are given by people who cannot possibly
have any knowledge of what has taken place at secret conferences. The United
States is a land of free speech; nowhere is speech freer, not even here where we
sedulously cultivate it even in its most repulsive form. But when I see some of
the accounts given of conversations that I am supposed to have had with the
President of the United States, I can only recall a Balfourian phrase at which I
laughed many years ago, when he said that the accounts which were given bore
no more relation to the actual facts than the wildest tales of the Arabian Nights do
to the ordinary incidents of domestic life in the East. I may say that everything
depends on the agreement of the three leading European and world powers. I
do not think satisfactory agreement will be reached-and unless there is agreement
nothing can be satisfactory-until there has been a further meeting of the three
heads of Governments assisted as may be necessary by their Foreign Secretaries. I
must say that I think it is well to suspend judgment and not to try to form or ex-
press opinions on what can only be partial and incomplete accounts. I earnestly
British Speeches of the Day
hope it may be possible to bring about such a meeting before the end of the year.
There are great difficulties but I hope they may be overcome. The fact that the
President and I have been so closely brought together at the Quebec Conference
and have been able to discuss so many matters bearingupon the course of the war
and on the measures to be taken after the Germans surrender and also for the
broad future, makes it all the more necessary that our third partner, Marshal Stalin,
who has, of course, been kept informed, should join with us in a tripartite con-
ference as soon as the military situation renders this possible. The future of the
whole world, and certainly the future of Europe, perhaps for several generations,
depends upon the cordial, trustful and comprehending association of the British
Empire, the United States and Soviet Russia, and no pains must be spared and no
patience grudged which are necessary to bring that supreme hope to fruition.
Military Operations Still Come First
I may say at once, however, that it will not, in my opinion, be possible for
the Great Powers to do more, in the first instance, than act as trustees for the other
States, great or small, during the period of transition. Whatever may be settled
in the near future must be regarded as a preliminary, and only as a preliminary,
to the actual establishment in its final form of the future world organization. Those
who try in any country to force the pace unduly will run the risk of overlooking
many aspects of the highest importance, and also by imprudence they can bring
about a serious deadlock. I have never been one of those who believe that all the
-problems of the immediate future can be solved while we are actually engaged in
a life-and-death struggle with the German and Nazi Power and when the course of
military operations and the development of the war against Japan must increasingly
claim the first place in the minds of those in Britain and the United States, upon
whom the chief responsibility rests.
To shorten the war by a year, if that can be done, would in itself be a boon
greater than many important acts of legislation. To shorten this war, to bring it
to an end, to bring the soldiers home, to give them a roof over their heads, to re-
establish the free life of our country, to enable the wheels of commerce to revolve,
to get the nations out of their terrible frenzy of hate, to build up something like
a human world and a humane world-it is that that makes it so indispensable for
us to struggle to shorten, be it even by a day, the course of this terrible war.
It is right to make surveys and preparations beforehand and many have been
made and are being made, but the great decisions cannot be taken finally, even
for the transition period, without far closer, calmer, and more searching discus-
sions than can be held amid the dash of arms. Moreover, we cannot be blind to
the fact that there are many factors, at present unknowable, which will make them-
selves manifest on the morrow of the destruction of the Nazi regime. I am sure
this is no time for taking hard and fast momentous decisions on incomplete data
and at breakneck speed. Hasty work and premature decisions may lead to penalties
out of all proportion to the issues immediately involved. That is my counsel to
the House, which I hope they will consider. I hope that the House will notice
that, in making my statement today, I have spoken with exceptional caution about
Foreign Affairs, and, I hope, without any undue regard for popular applause. I
have sedulously avoided the appearance of any one country trying to lay down the
law to its powerful allies or to the many other States involved. I hope, however,
that I have given the House some impression of the heavy and critical work that is
going forward and will lie before us even after the downfall of our principal
enemy has been effected. I trust that what I have said may be weighed with care
and goodwill not only in this House and in this country but also in the far wider

There have been many versions of the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale. The Popcorn Hat Players' adaptation includes an appearance by a would-be magician, and begins on December 4.
The magician, named Merlin after the legendary wizard, is accidentally responsible for his master's transformation into a beast. And while Merlin is a well-meaning bumbler, his master is a rather selfish prince.
It takes a chance encounter with a beautiful and kind woman named Bonita to teach the beastly young man a lesson in humility. If he can manage to win her heart, it may be just the magic needed to cure him of his transformation.

Man faces life in prison for filming cops
When cops in Illinois started inspecting Michael Allison’s vehicles parked on his mom’s property, he turned on his camera while he went to see what the hubbub was about. That didn’t put that happy of a face on the police officer, and now Allison is facing 75 years in prison for hitting “record.”
Authorities have charged Allison, 42, with five counts of eavesdropping, each with a maximum of 15 years in prison. He is looking at spending the rest of his life behind bars because the state is applying an archaic law to modern technology to keep citizens from snooping around cops.
Only days after Allison was charged, the US 1st Circuit Court of Appeals stated that recording police in public was guaranteed through the First Amendment. Cops in Illinois, however, aren’t agreeing.
“Just because they can get a jury to convict somebody doesn’t mean that the statute was applicable,” said radio host Alex Jones to RT. He says that calling Allison’s actions illegal is a “giant hoax” and those authorities pegging the case as a wiretapping issue has it all wrong. Jones said that being in public removes all perception of privacy, and for that very reason cops can have cameras in their own squad cars.
Jones added to RT that it is the “scariest thing I've seen in a long time that the police would knowingly try to put this guy in prison for life for simply videotaping” them in public.
Allison has so far refused a plea deal and is seeking counsel from the American Civil Liberties Union. "If we don't fight for our freedoms here at home we're all going to lose them,” he said to Gather.com.
Should he be convicted of his crimes, Allison will be serving the same punishment as murderers and rapists. | <urn:uuid:53df0807-8621-4ef5-b7f0-e360208dc698> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | https://www.rt.com/usa/alexjones-prison-cops-allison/ | 2015-11-25T10:17:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398445080.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205405-00063-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981051 | 395 |

HP Pro x3 — a more affordable version of the smartphone HP Elite x3 that will be running Android
Recently there was a rumor that smartphone sales HP Elite x3 will be discontinued on 1 November this year. HP have denied the rumor, stating that the company intends to sell HP Elite x3 up to 2019.

What laughing chains the water wove and threw!
I learned to catch the trout's moon whisper; I
Drifted how many hours I never knew,
But, watching, saw that fleet young crescent die,---
And one star, swinging, take its place, alone,
Cupped in the larches of the mountain pass ---
Until, immortally, it bled into the dawn.
I left my sleek boat nibbling margin grass. . .

According to a recent poll, Glasgow is the world’s friendliest city, not a bad starting point but if you add to that the huge range of activities on offer, the variety and quality of pubs, bars and restaurants as well as some stunning architecture, it’s easy to see why Glasgow stag dos are now more popular than ever. This location is a perfect spot for many top activities and offers city centre based options such as escape rooms, pizza making and of course, whisky tasting. You are also a stone’s throw from the majestic Scottish countryside where you can enjoy clay pigeon shooting, archery or mini highland games. Water sports are also high on the agenda with a fantastic white water rafting centre on hand; there really is a huge variety of options on offer.
Night time is really where Glasgow comes into its own, the city is split into several different neighbourhoods, each with its own style and vibe, from the city centre’s upmarket restaurants and bars, to the bohemian West end with its selection of artisan coffee shops and independent gastropubs. Of course we know the best places in town to eat, drink and dance the night away, we have a huge selection of meal options available, a great selection of nightclubs options including VIP entry and drinks packages and we work with the top lap clubs in town.
Among our popular options for keeping the guys out of the pubs during the day is our bubble football, smacking into each other and bouncing around in a huge inflatable ball while attempting to have a kick about is much funnier than it sounds, you have to try this. Our incredible multi activity air rifle, archery and quad biking activity session is also a firm favourite, with this option you’re getting three activities in one which is bound to keep the guys entertained for the duration.
It’s not really a surprise to find our mini Highland games among the most popular options for stag activities in Glasgow, quintessentially Scottish and so much fun. This includes traditional games such as welly hurling, tug of war and tossing the caber (ahem). All equipment, safety briefings and a bottle of whisky or bubbly for the winner is included, you just need to bring the dodgy attempts at a local accent… Och aye the noo.
This city really comes to life at night and a decent meal is the starting point for any great night on the town, we work with a huge selection of local restaurants offering everything from light bites and burgers through to delicious three course meals and even a man versus food style challenge, for those who think they can handle it.
As with visiting any new place its always handy to have some local knowledge of where to go and our beer babes bar crawl gives you exactly that, two beer babes will show you around the best night spots in town, visit three or four bars, a lap club and finish up in one of Glasgow’s top nightclubs. The late night bar and club scene in Glasgow has exploded in recent years and there are a load of options to choose from. We work with some of the city’s best venues such as Missoula, which often has guest DJs, club Tropicana and Venga for a retro theme or Revolution, where you can drink roughly 23 million different types of vodka, there’s so much to choose from its best to give us a call so we can talk you through the options. We can also organise VIP areas and drinks packages in some venues for that extra special touch, again get in touch for more details. | <urn:uuid:8ebf0cfc-5679-4803-8226-b34978377f23> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.lastnightoffreedom.co.uk/stag-activities/glasgow/ | 2022-05-22T10:32:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662545326.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20220522094818-20220522124818-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.961802 | 736 |
Respiration Prototype Testing:
Last week, Simon and I met with Dan O’Sullivan and Simon’s PCOMP professor, Tom Igoe to get some feedback/advisement on our project idea. We were advised to rethink ways to incorporate more interactivity with our user and perhaps give focus to factors we can consciously control such as breathing, as opposed to heart rate, that we cannot unless accompanied by an universal trigger.
On Friday night, we tested the EeonTex conductive stretch fabric we ordered a week ago that we want to incorporate in our wearable to be used to measure respiration (and to be tested as a potential alternative to electrodes with adhesive backing). We tested its conductivity and stretch with a multimeter, then cut two 1/2″ x 13″ strips held together with safety pins to wrap around the chest. As we moved the alligator clips closer to the sternum at about 1″ ~ 1 1/4″ apart, we were able to visualize via serial monitor a consistent variation of ~30 points from deep breaths in and deep breaths out. We tested on ourselves, Sam, MH, and Leon.
To visualize our data in P5, we sat down with Leon to program the data to adjust accordingly to each individual.
My task this weekend was to make a working and adjustable prototype to playtest on Monday. I made and tested many to optimize data visualization. Different lengths, widths, layers, stitches, and combination of fabrics, but what we found in testing each prototype that followed was that our first safety pin prototype worked best.
The biggest challenge is working with stretch fabric with poor elastic retention. Every time the fabric is stretched out, it grows. That means we need to design a closure that not only accommodates people of different chest widths, but also accounts for fabric growth over time. This was a headache because I would test on myself and it would work perfectly, but if I tried to test on myself again after Simon, Jesse, and Kai, it would be too loose and noise would appear on screen. After many bouts of momentary successes followed by failure and frustration, I think I managed to make an adjustable prototype by repurposing some clasps from a backpack someone left on the junk shelf. The real challenge will come when we attempt to incorporate it in a garment, but for now, I have documentation it worked last night: | <urn:uuid:8a15c6bc-0e72-4a15-a2ad-727ffae893ec> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://doc.sandyhsieh.com/2017/11/13/pcompicm-final-respiration/ | 2020-01-19T14:11:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250594603.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20200119122744-20200119150744-00003.warc.gz | en | 0.963012 | 489 |

This celebraton issue, in honour of Prof Klippies Kritzinger on his sixtieth birthday, is indeed a fitting way of paying tribute to a colleague who has contributed immensely in a number of diverse areas over the last three to four decades. In broad terms I would like to indicate the church, the academy and society at large as sites where those who have been blessed in encountering him, have benefitted greatly from his virtually encyclopaedic knowledge on issues, his sharpness and creativity of mind and perhaps most importantly his deep commitment to the Christian faith. I must also mention Kritzinger's honesty and integrity in dealing with others, even when such would spark controversy or cause him to be marginalised.

So I try and take myself out of the game for a couple of weeks, and predictably enough everything goes batshit insane in the first week of my absence. So after much wrangling, I decided to do one afternoon of work / email stuff, before getting back to my suntan. That makes it sound like I have anything except good news for today. Well, I don’t. Let’s get started.
The first, and biggest, piece of news is about Festivals. I’m very pleased to say that I will be returning once again to this years Leeds (Friday) and Reading (Sunday) Festivals, to play on the main stage. I remember watching Beck and Green Day play the main stage in 1995 and wondering if I’d ever get that far, so I’m pretty fucking stoked. Across the water a little, I’m also now confirmed for Rock Im Park (June 3rd) and Rock Am Ring (4th). See everyone down the front, eh?
Next up, in my absence a number of shows have now sold out – Brooklyn, Melbourne, Los Angeles (the late show – still tickets for the early one), Kingston (ditto), Stockton-on-Tees, Amsterdam (with Social D) and Plymouth. All of which makes me feel pretty popular. Other shows still have tickets (links on the gigs page), but I’d say you’d want to get them sooner rather than later, judging by this bit of news.
Next up, a charity update for you all. My friend Claire’s drive for Alzheimer’s Society went amazingly, we smashed the target and then some. Thanks to everyone who donated, and of course if you want to keep giving to this great cause, you still can. Next up, the secret shows I did in Manchester and Leeds recently were raising money for Leukemia & Lymphoma Research. Laura, who organized the Manchester shows, has set up a page right here where she will be putting the proceeds from the show, and where other people can get involved.
Finally, the album artwork is pretty much done, and in the creation thereof a longstanding conundrum has been solved, I’m pleased to say. After years of looking for a name for the guys in my band, who are a permanent, solid line-up and who are integral to all that I do, we finally have one. Amazingly, suggestions like “The Overdrive Explosion Attack Orchestra” and “The Old Men” were rejected out of hand. But now, I can finally and happily tell you that the band are to be known as The Sleeping Souls. Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls. All hail.

The U.K. government will allot £55 million (around $90.7 million) from its 2014/2015 budget for a new Cell Therapy Manufacturing Center. The Cell Therapy Catapult, a translational center of excellence, will manage the new Center, which is scheduled to open during 2016/17.
Officials at the Cell Therapy Catapult say that an analysis has shown that the U.K.’s small-scale academic facilities are an excellent source of materials for early-stage clinical trials. However, it is expected that this capacity will be full within 3–6 years as the industry’s pipeline matures. The Cell Therapy Manufacturing Center will be designed to provide the U.K. with the manufacturing facilities needed for later studies and commercialization, promoting retention of domestic expertise and jobs. In addition, many global cell therapy organizations with which the CT Catapult has engaged believe that a high-quality EU manufacturing base is essential for bringing their products to the European market, and this facility should also help to anchor their activities in the U.K., according to a spokesperson for the Cell Therapy Catapult.
The Center will leverage process development expertise at the CT Catapult. It is expected to create up to 100 jobs, and the process for choosing its location will be announced shortly. Forecasts indicate that firms using the center will generate £1.2 billion ($1.98 billion) of revenue by 2020 (80% via export).
“The decision to build the Cell Therapy Manufacturing Center is a recognition of the quality and growth potential of the U.K. cell therapy industry,” says Keith Thompson, CEO of the Cell Therapy Catapult. “It will be accessible to firms scaling up for Phase III trials and market supply, bridging the gap between early manufacturing and commercialization. We are delighted to be managing this initiative, which addresses one of the industry’s main barriers to growth.” | <urn:uuid:73750933-69cf-4520-9148-c9bc8e221064> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.genengnews.com/gen-news-highlights/u-k-slots-over-90m-for-large-scale-cell-therapy-manufacturing-center/81249641/?kwrd=Biomanufacturing | 2015-01-27T18:28:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115860277.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161100-00202-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.944548 | 393 |
As Lemay celebrates 60 years of groundbreaking design, a review of its most defining projects—Montreal’s Four Seasons Hotel and Residences[i], the Bibliothèque du Boisé[ii], Montreal’s Place Vauquelin and Place d’Armes, the new international jetty at Montreal-Trudeau Airport[iii], Quebec City’s Paquet Wharf and the protective glass casing of the Grand Théâtre de Québec; the coastal promenade of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, the Holiday Inn’s glamorous new look in Brooklyn, NY—is proof that its long and much-awarded history shapes its present and future as one of Canada’s leading integrated design services firms.
“In many ways, our work embodies Quebec’s own evolution over the past six decades,” said Louis T. Lemay, president and excellence facilitator for the integrated design firm, which was founded in 1957 as an architectural practice.
“We began with groundbreaking models of functionalist architecture that reflected Quebec’s new openness to the world,” he said, referring to Montreal’s Church of Saint-Jean Baptiste de La Salle, Cégep André-Laurendeau and branch offices for Quebec-based financial institutions.
Lemay then went on to define the Montreal skyline and contemporary cityscape with the city’s tallest building, 1000 De La Gauchetière [iv]; the brilliantly multimodal, 21,000-seat Bell Centre [v]; the Caisse de dépôt et de placement’s landmark Édifice Jacques-Parizeau, in which Lemay played a key role; and many others.
In recent years, Lemay’s reach has grown to revitalize heritage treasures, create sustainable living environments, brand top companies’ workspaces, showcase public institutions and create unforgettable public spaces. Its Bibliothèque du Boisé alone has won a record-breaking 21 design awards, including a joint award of excellence from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) and the Canada Green Building Council MD (CaGBC). Lemay has delivered designs across Canada and around the world, with a constant focus on the environment and leading practices in sustainable development.
“And now, we are building Montreal’s first smart vertical community,” said Mr. Lemay, referring to the innovative, multi-use Humaniti complex now underway in Montreal’s International District.
The capacity of an industry leader, the creativity of a boutique firm
Looking ahead, Lemay is building its future success on its distinctive offering: innovation at the service of design excellence, net zero and integrated delivery.
Close to 450 Lemay professionals of various disciplines work together closely to produce exceptional projects that integrate architecture, interior design, urban planning and urban design, landscape architecture, branding and graphic design. Through these complementary, collaborating disciplines, Lemay’s vision is to become no less than the Canadian leader and a world reference in the integrated design of sustainable living environments. In support of this vision, it recently merged with Calgary-based Toker & Associates, an award-winning architecture and interior design firm (now known as Lemay + Toker in Western Canada), bolstering Lemay’s pan-Canadian presence.
Celebrating six decades
For its anniversary, Lemay has launched several employee recognition projects, and is championing employees’ own initiatives such as a beekeeping venture, fundraising for a local NGO, participation in community events and promoting green transportation.
For its clients and the public, Lemay has launched an Instagram contest and will be hosting a series of round-tables starting in November, as well as a travelling exhibit of its key projects within their historical context.
A longtime tenant of Montreal’s South-West borough, Lemay also recently unveiled its 60th anniversary gift to the community: “The Phenix of Human Rights”, a mural painted on the outside wall of a former warehouse now housing Lemay’s main Montreal office at 3500 Saint-Jacques St.
About Lemay: Creative Intelligence. Collective Value.
Founded in 1957 as an architectural practice, Lemay is one of Canada’s leading integrated design services firms, merging architecture, urban design, interiors, landscape, engineering, sustainability and branding into a multidisciplinary and synergistic ensemble. With several offices worldwide, it ranks 74th in the world (World Architecture, 2017). Lemay has won over 350 awards and distinctions and has been a winner of the Canada’s Best Managed Companies program since 2013, becoming a Gold Standard winner in 2017. Leveraging its unique blend of creativity, capacity and expertise, Lemay champions its clients’ aspirations, enhances users’ quality of life and strives to build a brighter future for our communities.

Sweden’s Social Democratic Party has won the most votes, but it can hardly be seen as the winner in an election where it barely increased its vote share while the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats more than doubled its support. Stefan Löfven, the Social Democrat party leader, now faces the unenviable task of attempting to form a government with a rather weak electoral mandate.
The Social Democrats constitute a red-green bloc in parliament with the Greens and the Left Party. Together they received more votes in the election than the Alliance – a four party centre-right coalition led by The Moderates – but still fell short of the support necessary to form a legislative majority.
And despite the party’s high hopes, the inability of the Feminist Initiative to clear the 4% electoral threshold, having received just 3.1% of the vote, further complicates any attempt by Löfven to build a centre-left legislative coalition.
Löfven is to bypass formal collaboration with the Left Party and will not meet its request for a ban on private companies making a profit in the health and education sectors. This is widely understood as an overture to the smaller parties that are currently part of the Alliance, such as The Liberals or the Centre Party.
It appears that the Social Democrats will pursue a more centrist, centre-left government, expecting that the Left will still support its legislative proposals as the “lesser evil” than what would be put forward by the Alliance. There is, of course, some risk to this strategy.
Löfven will already need to propose a budget in mid-November so government formation and budgetary negotiations will go hand in hand. It could be strategic for the smaller parties of the Alliance to hold fast rather than co-operate with the Social Democrats on the budget. The Liberal Party has already indicated that the party will enter opposition rather than formally co-operate in a Löfven-led government and the Left Party is extremely displeased with the post-electoral strategy of the Social Democrats, so support from that corner is far from certain.
Rise of the new “right”
Another major change in the 2014 election has been the meteoric rise of the anti-immigration, nationalist Sweden Democrats. The party first entered the Riksdag in 2010 with 5.7% of the vote, received 9.7% in last spring’s European elections and more than doubled its support in this general election, garnering nearly 13% of the vote last Sunday to become Sweden’s third-largest party.
All seven of the country’s other parliamentary parties refuse to formally work with the Sweden Democrats because of the extreme stance the party takes on asylum and immigration. But this self-imposed prohibition on collaboration with the Sweden Democrats makes building a legislative coalition even more challenging for the Social Democrats.
The Sweden Democrats now control so many of the seats in parliament that are not occupied by representatives of the Alliance parties that they could prove a powerful voice in the chamber. The electoral success of the Sweden Democrats also calls into question how long the established parties will be able to marginalise the Sweden Democrats within the Riksdag.
The rise of the Sweden Democrats in the 2014 general election should be seen as particularly troubling for the Social Democrats. Outgoing prime minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, was hoping to win a third term for his centre-right government – something never before seen in Sweden, a country politically dominated by the Social Democrats throughout much of the 20th century.
Standard understandings of electoral politics would predict an ebb in support for the Moderates after two elections with higher than normal support – and indeed this is what we saw in 2014. But, crucially, the Social Democrats only increased their vote share by half a point, receiving 31.2 per cent in 2014 compared to 30.7 per cent in 2010 – itself a historic low for the party, which routinely received over 40% of the vote in the past.
According to VALU’s exit poll, only 8% of the votes received by the Social Democrats this year came from people who voted for the Moderates in 2010. An equally high number of 2010 Moderate voters went to the Sweden Democrats in 2014, with former Moderate voters making up nearly 30% of Sweden Democrat support in 2014.
This suggests that the Social Democrats were unable to capture many of the Moderate voters that had grown tired of the party between 2010 and 2014. That in turn illustrates the struggle faced by the Social Democrats if they seek to appeal as a catch-all party in contemporary politics. All in all, it does not bode well for the party’s future electoral prospects.
Swedish politics has witnessed a decline in support for the formerly dominant mainstream centre-left and centre-right parties in favour of the Sweden Democrats and, to a lesser extent, the Feminist Initiative. These two very different parties share an emphasis on issues related to a cultural dimension of competition rather than classical left-against-right politics. The Social Democrats and Moderates are struggling to adapt and develop a better understanding of why voters are making these switches.
Citizens might be turning away as they see the traditional left- and right-wing parties converging on economic policy, for example. Whatever the reason, voters appear to be calling for their parliamentary parties to pay closer attention to social and cultural issues. The established parties want to fend off the rise of the anti-immigration right, but will need to do so while taking note of the messages being sent to them through the ballot box. | <urn:uuid:64d581c7-ca2d-408f-a052-871622c38062> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://theconversation.com/explainer-where-next-for-sweden-after-election-scramble-31755 | 2018-11-19T07:23:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745486.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119064334-20181119090334-00066.warc.gz | en | 0.962802 | 1,140 |

Hi Kodiac I here you. but im glad they brought this up Ive seen a few adds where they said they were this or that kind of curious about what im getting into by writing to one. did like the idea of more than one wife if i convert can i have more than one lol. im not total athiest do believe in a god just dont like the idea of sinning monday through sat then confessing on sunday .
oh my g'ness! i just now realised the place HAD a forum!! yeah..obviously i wasna paying attention.
i have been Wiccan for ..slightly over 20 yrs. recently, have been slipping towards a Buddhist leaning..so i content myself with the " I am a Wiccan-Buddhist" yeah gets me lots of strange looks but hey works for me. would be more into the Buddhist side of things except the whole "historical male dominat BS" you tend to get with most major religions. when will the world get with the the whole " there are 2 genders. each have their strength's and weakness's and each should be celebrated for it"? ok, technicly, there are 3..2 that are able to procreate and then there are those that are both gendered, androgenous types. not a problem for me, but must make life damned confusing for em.
oh, anyway, i usualy tell folks i am a "unitarian universalist" when i get the "what church do you go to" question. easier and just shuts up the "rabid foaming at the mouth fire an brimstone christians" that seem to be procreating exponentialy and trying to make everyones life miserable. no offense for the decent Christians who are of the "this is my bag, whatever floats ya boat" types. :D
kinda wish the youngsters that are jsut coming to Wicca/Paganism would see that it's not all" playtime, drugs and majic". there is a difference between the spiritual path of paganism/wicca and majic( a tool of various religions and natrualy occuring part of life).
i REALY wish the people who are doing the "spell a day calender" and like things would get their act together. do we REALY need people who've no idea what they are doing mucking about with this? nah-uh.
oh sorry did i mention i babble? it's a gift! *smirk*
been running into to many of the (as we call them) "PLAY-gans" or *L* "wanna-blessed-be's". i figure some of you know what i am talking about. kionda frustrating. tya think you've met someone who can have a decent dialogue and maybe learn from and grow as a human and ya get the "i'm here for the party and playtime and oh boy drugs!! religion? spirituality? whatever"
well, i've ran off at the mouth enough..threw out some ideas, gonna sit back and watch the forum now.
take care y'all!
PS: put playtime & gender in for Exsay(pig latin) as the filters wouldna allow that particular word. even though it was pretty darned innocent in this missive. gotta love the folks who've buggered it for the rest of us!
Hi all! It is great to see fellow pagans from all over the world. I am also an ecclectic pagan. I take in a little bit of everything. Celtic/Shaman/Native American/Christian/Buddhist/Wicca, etc. Not necessarily in that order. Right now I'm writing a book on reincarnation and my past lives. I've uncovered 13 so far. Hmm, nice number.
Kelle, In answer to you, yes, I find it difficult as a pagan to meet and hold on to a man. And size definitely figures into it as well. I read tarot cards and do past life readings in a shop in New Paltz, NY and I'm very open about it. I just went out with a guy last week who told me he doesn't believe in psychics and felt I was taking advantage of people by lying to them. Guess I'll just have to keep looking. LOL. I've thought about not telling them but then wouldn't be true to myself. Good luck in your search and me in mine! BB
Wow, I totally missed out on this thread! I've never even looked at this message board.
I am pagan, have been for 16 years, consider myself to be a follower of a mostly Celtic path and also very interested in shamanism.
Wish there were more pagan men on here! The older I get the more important it is to me to have someone who shares some of my beliefs. I'd love to have a child and definitely want them raised in a positive pagan way. That can be a little hard with a Christian partner :) Add being a big girl to the equation, and you're looking at a very small pool of me to draw from. Do you other ladies find that to be true?
I was raised Christian, and I'm still officially Baptist, but the dominant source of my spirituality is from the Vedic (Hindu) and Buddhist traditions, with a pervasive Sufi, Christian, and evolutionary perspective.
I've been Wiccan for 12 years, I have a teaching coven for newcomers into the Craft. I was trained in McFarland Dianic trad, but am now eclectic. I've applied to a local Gardnerian coven... will see what happens!
I'm an Eclectic Pagan, and have been for a long time. I'm heavily influenced by a Shamanic view of the world, and very involved with a bond with Hekate. I tend to focus most on oracles and ways of 'Seeing,' but have other offerings as well. I'm very drawn to the deep cthonic Dark Mother as a guide and source of strength. I like exploring dreaming, and other visionary genres.
I'd like very much to correspond with and/or meet people of similar paths.
I wouldn't call myself wiccan/pagen but I am really interested in the subject, and have been for years, I have dabbled in it and have so many books and things on it, I'm still undecided what I believe - I think im just all for nature really!
Actually, Chris is the greatest guy you could wish to meet. He is so thoughtful and caring, he is full of wit and humour. He is a perfect gentleman at all times and I can only say that if you make a friend of him he will be the best friend anyone could wish for. | <urn:uuid:a30b57d4-ca8c-42c6-8cca-d18727775017> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://de.largefriends.com/forum/dates/cutelildevilsmom/pagan__1003800_51_0_20_20.html | 2015-10-09T21:51:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443737935954.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001221855-00193-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971327 | 1,406 |
MOUNT VERNON — Every generation has its kings of comedy, those jesters who brighten our lives and lighten our souls. This month’s Silver Screeners Free Classic Movie Matinee on Sunday, March 26, at 1:30 p.m.. at the Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County, 201 N. Mulberry St., will present a double feature of two of the best silent pictures — “Sherlock Jr.” starring Buster Keaton and “Safety Last” with Harold Lloyd.
When we think of the comedians of the silent era, most see Chaplin and his beloved tramp. However, Lloyd and Keaton were just as prolific and popular. “Sherlock Jr.” starring Keaton features impressive visual effects as well as thrilling car chases, daring stunts, and sappy romance tied together with humor and charm. Most people remember Harold Lloyd was a man hanging from a clock face. These few seconds of footage comes from the film, “Safety Last.” The film is a warm-hearted romp showing just how far a guy will go to impress a girl.
Film and history buffs Steven Moore and Mickey Shire will host a brief discussion prior to and following both films.
The program is free and open to the public. Popcorn will be provided by Friends of the Library. For more information, call the main library at 740-392-BOOK (2665), visit www.knox.net or email firstname.lastname@example.org. | <urn:uuid:5f42dc4e-0326-4c00-8dca-b73c3c0c1ac6> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://mountvernonnews.com/article/2017/03/20/silver-screeners-matinee-features-silent-laughs-double-feature/ | 2018-01-22T18:07:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084891530.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20180122173425-20180122193425-00093.warc.gz | en | 0.934336 | 316 |

Branding isn’t your company name.
It’s not a tag line. It’s not a logo.
Branding is just another name for creating a perception.
When marketers ask, “How do we want to brand this product?” what they’re really asking is how they want their audience to think about that product once it comes to market.
A brand is a promise. It’s an expectation of an experience.
The company and tag line and logo and brand colors only exist to call that experience to mind.
Brands can meet that expectation, exceed that expectation … or in the worst cases, fall short of that expectation.
(By the way, the word product can easily be swapped for service, or blog, or newsletter, or any number of things marketers promote. The underlying concepts remain the same.)
Volvo’s name is synonymous with safety, which makes it the quintessential consumer example.
Cisco’s “Human Network” stands out among business-to-business brands.
Cisco makes products that make it possible for people to be connected, no matter how far apart they may be, geographically. ~ Forbes
The Red Cross is a bellwether among nonprofits, with a brand that literally means help is on the way in times of crisis.
The very essence of brands doesn’t lie within your brand colors or site design, even though those are important.
The essence of a brand lies within its meaning. And words have meaning. Words matter.
Volvo’s meaning wasn’t derived from its logo, or even its product design, but by the constant stream of product reviews that published the data on crash tests year-in and year-out.
The brand was built, over time, by third-party validation communicated through third-party content. What other people said about Volvo created the meaning of that brand. The advertising Volvo did just reinforced that meaning.
The rise of user-generated content
Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, is now famous for having said,
Every two days now we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003.
As marketers, we try to convince customers and prospects to generate content about our brands. In other words, to talk about us. To create a Volvo-like experience where the meaning of our brand comes from how others perceive us.
How do we inspire people to generate content? To talk about us on Facebook and Twitter, to increase our audience?
Increasingly, we inspire our customers with brand experiences and by publishing our own content.
The uninitiated customer is no more inclined to mention a brand than talk to the shy person tucked quietly in the corner at a cocktail party. If we want our customers to engage us, or our products and services, we have to contribute to the conversation.
Content is currency
Today’s web is an endless 24/7 cycle fed by content and social actions. In this cycle, brands are realizing that content is currency … ~ Bryan Rhoads, global content strategy, Intel
Content is currency — something we trade for our audience’s attention.
That currency becomes more valuable every time it’s shared by someone other than ourselves.
Those shares might be validation. There might be debate. There might be disagreement.
It’s our job to create content worth sharing. How it’s shared isn’t up to us.
If you take a look at this infographic, created by PRWeb, you’ll see an array of content marketing options — each with its own balance of difficulty and value.
Click here for the full-sized infographic
Your job is to figure out what types of content are most valuable to your audience — and most likely to be shared. And then to gather the resources to produce the best content you possibly can.
‘No Comment’ is a failure
Every smart crisis communications professional knows that “no comment” creates a vacuum where everyone — except the person or organization in crisis — will be able to shape the conversation.
The applies in content marketing, too. We can commit to an active role, by publishing content worth talking about … or we can abstain and miss the opportunity.
How about you? What experience are you creating with your content? What promise are you making?
Let us know in the comments.

Disclaimer: The plotline is mine! Mine, all MINE! But everything else in this story isn’t. It is Jo’s. Aargh!
“Hey, sexy,” Hermione growled lustily, moving towards an unfortunate Harry Potter. “Treat me to a snogging session, will you? You know you want to.”
Harry felt like a mouse about to be pounced on by a delusional cat. “Um, Hermione-” he began. But the infatuated girl in question didn’t let him finish.
“I know you love me, Harry, you don’t have to say it. I love you too, handsome.” Harry, looking wildly around the room to find a means of escape, noticed that Ron looked like he was about to break something. Harry had never seen him look so murderous as he did then. But, as Harry had more pressing matters at hand, he stored the memory of the expression on Ron’s face for careful examination at a more convenient time.
“Professor Snape, will you give Hermione the antidote?” Harry asked loudly. Hermione was now feet away from him. He began to hastily back away.
“Certainly, Potter. But it may take me a while to find it,” Snape smirked. Harry groaned. ‘A while’ could turn out to be a very long time.
“Harry, where are you going? Don’t you want to make love to me?” Hermione inquired innocently. Harry saw Seamus pretend to vomit into his cauldron, and Ron seemed to be gagging; his face was rapidly turning a mottled shade of purple, which reminded Harry distinctly of Uncle Vernon’s face when angry. Harry, very much aware of the dangers of being too close to a girl under the influence of the strongest love potion in the world, continued to back away from Hermione.
The love-sick girl appeared to be near tears. She reached forward wildly, grabbing hold of Harry’s robes and trying to drag him towards her, making wet smacking noises with her lips. Harry sneaked a glance at Ron. He seemed more forlorn than ever. Before Harry could try to figure out what in the world was making Ron act like this, Hermione interrupted his thoughts.
“Why won’t you give yourself to me, Harry? Don’t you love me? Don’t you care about me?” Hermione sobbed, her voice rising in pitch and becoming frenzied. Her face was about an inch from Harry’s when Harry finally managed to yank his robes out of her grasp. He began to reel backwards, tripping over a stool. The last thing Harry remembered before the world around him turned black was something pus-yellow and foul smelling.
o o o O O O o o o
Harry groaned as he returned to consciousness. Slowly opening his eyes, he looked around. “In the Hospital Wing on the very first day of school, huh? Must be some sort of record,” said a teasing voice from his right. Turning around, Harry grabbed his glasses and shoved them up his nose, bringing Ginny Weasley into focus.
“Hey, Gin,” grinned Harry. “What happened?”
“According to Ron, you fell into Neville’s cauldron, which seemed to contain a potion toxic enough to make you pass out, but not dangerous enough to really hurt you,” Ginny explained. "You’ve been out all day."
“Speaking of Ron, where is he?” asked Harry.
“He’s looking for Hermione. As soon as Snape gave her the antidote, she scampered away,” Ginny answered. “I feel so sorry for her…How embarrassing…”
“Yeah,” Harry agreed distractedly. “Listen, Ginny...,” and he told her all about Ron’s reaction to the whole Potions fiasco.
“And I think Ron fancies Hermione,” Harry finished enthusiastically. “Well? Whaddaya reckon?”
”You know what, Harry? I wouldn’t be surprised if you were right! It took you long enough to catch on! It’s been obvious, since, what, your third year?” Harry just stared at her. “Wow . . . Hermione wasn’t kidding when she said you and Ron were the two most insensitive people on the planet. It’s unbelievable that I put up with you . . . Anyway, Hermione spilled that she liked Ron after the Yule Ball . . . what did you guys say to her? She was terribly upset . . .” Ginny trailed off thoughtfully.
Harry reddened considerably. “Er – it was nothing, Gin –” He heard footsteps in the hallway. “Ginny,” he said quickly, “Meet me in Moaning Myrtle’s bathroom after dinner tonight. We have a relationship to discuss…”
Before Ginny could answer, Madam Pomfrey had bustled into the room and had started to usher Ginny out so ‘Potter can get some rest.’ “See you tonight, Harry!” she called, and Harry winked at her. | <urn:uuid:3aa7a0ea-0352-4d45-aad5-8d1fa6ac6ae3> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.phoenixsong.net/fanfiction/print.php?cid=3400 | 2015-07-02T05:19:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095404.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00120-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977884 | 1,141 |
Serbian artist Nikola Čuljić has an incredible talent: he creates sketches that seem to jump off the page. Using only colored pencils, markers, and pastels, he plays with lighting and angles in order to trick viewers into thinking his work is three-dimensional. (His Bored Panda article on the subject is appropriately titled, “3D Drawings That I Create To Confuse People.”)
Needless to say, he is succeeding. Even in his only four years of drawing, he has mastered the art of dimension deception.
You can see more of these astounding not-quite-3D images on Čuljić’s Instagram feed.

Name a single Arab or Islamic state, which, after a revolution that has overthrown a dictator, came to embrace political pluralism, religious tolerance and equal rights for women.
The U.S. State Department publishes an annual report on human rights practices in Arab states. It consistently finds all are ruled by variations of dictatorial regimes that oppress their people, deny basic freedoms of press, speech, due process and are intolerant of any faith other than Islam, punishing converts to other faiths (a capital offense in some Islamic nations) and anyone who shares other faiths with their people.
The Arab Human Development Report, sponsored by the United Nations Development Programme and authored by Arab scholars, examined the world's seven regions. It ranks Arab countries lowest according to their "freedom score."
What is the popular definition of insanity? Isn't it repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results?
After months of uprisings in Arab nations from Egypt to Yemen, we are now faced with one in Libya, which appears to have ousted Moammar Gadhafi. As with the other nations engaged in revolution, what follows is yet to be determined. So is a judgment on whether the replacements will be any better than their predecessors.
In Libya, the National Transition Council (NTC) has published online what purports to be a draft constitution for the new state. It contains much that sounds good and at least one section that ought to be cause for serious concern. The good stuff includes "guarantees," such as, "The state shall guarantee for woman all opportunities which shall allow her to participate entirely and actively in political, economic and social spheres." (Article 6) And "The State shall guarantee for non-Muslims the freedom of practicing religious rights and shall guarantee respect for their systems of personal status." (Article 1)
There is much else to commend in the draft constitution, but then there is this: "Islam is the religion of the State and the principal source of legislation is Islamic Jurisprudence (Sharia)." (Article 1)
The legal system in Saudi Arabia is based on Sharia law. More than two-dozen other countries operate according to at least some aspects of Sharia law. None of them is known for any of the principles stated in the pluralistic-sounding Libyan draft constitution. By their fruits you shall know them and the fruit in countries where Sharia law is the legal standard is rotten when it comes to tolerance, religious pluralism, a free and independent press and equal rights for women.
It is no jump to an unwarranted conclusion to say if Sharia law is the objective of the TNC, as expressed in its draft constitution, none of the other high-sounding principles are likely to be achieved, much less guaranteed.
None of the nations now experiencing revolutions or unrest have a history of democracy, freedom or human rights. That's because they believe in a God who wants his followers to violently impose their religious beliefs on those who believe differently.
Former Libyan justice minister Mustafa Mohammed Abdul Jalil, who now heads the NTC, said after resigning his post in protest over Gadhafi's shooting of civilian demonstrators, "We are the same as people in other countries, and are looking for the same things."
That remains to be seen. Based on the direction of revolutions in other Arab states and their history -- not to mention the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical groups that could well hijack whatever yearning for real freedom might be in these movements -- I'm not persuaded.By the way, since nations are unfreezing Libyan assets and the country is awash in oil, can we please send the NTC a bill for the help we've given them, directly and through NATO? That would help lower our national debt. This is a practice we should also apply to other countries seeking our assistance.

A few days ago, while I was reading through the many blogs I enjoy I came across a recipe that had me drooling. Recipegirl made Dulce De Leche Apple Bars and her pictures were so enticing that I just had to make them!
Luckily we had picked some apples last week that needed to be made into something special. Usually, I make the Cooking Light Apple Cake which is always a hit. But, when dulce de leche is going to be involved... that eliminates any and all other choices for me. Something about that gooey goodness - oh yeah, a bit of heaven is waiting for us.
Now, if we could have waited for them to cool properly in the refrigerator, my slices would have been a bit more perfect. We just couldn't wait to dig into these and oh, it was worth every bite! A huge hit not only with me and the kids... My Husband declared these a "definite make again" which is a huge compliment. It's not very often that he would gladly give up his favorite apple cake for something else. He even went back for more as soon as he inhaled the first piece. Oh yeah, these apple bars are THAT good!
Now, I did use a jar of prepared dulce de leche that I found at the grocery store, but it is relatively simple to make it yourself. You can check out just how simple it is over at The Hungry Housewife.
If you would like a printable version of the recipe click here.
If you've been apple picking and have a lot left to use, here are some ideas:
Homemade Chunky Applesauce has got to be so much better than what you buy at the store. Julie at Peanut Butter and Julie shows you how to make this special treat.
Check out the Upside Down Apple Cake that is over at Stephanie's Kitchen, it looks so moist and delicious that you won't possibly be able to resist it.
Jersey Girl Cooks made Healthy Apple Cinnamon Muffins that you can enjoy without the guilt. | <urn:uuid:81e47b39-db92-42d6-b1c2-36f2a539a896> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.famfriendsfood.com/2008/10/dulce-de-leche-apple-bars-oh-my.html | 2019-10-14T10:16:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986653216.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20191014101303-20191014124303-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.982434 | 428 |

Should I just buy a cheap used bike and use it for parts or buy a whole new wheel and crank? I'm seeing bikes for under $50 on Craigslist...A new rear wheel and crank is more than that.
I'll try to answer some questions here.
I'm no bike mechanic but have had bikes a long time.
There are bikes used out there for sale that are really really good. Checking garage sales can be amazing. At times people just don't know what they have. If they don't know what they have then also the bike may need maintenance. Craigs list is going to be a super place to find bargains. You should really read a book on simple bike maintenance. They are free at the library. Knowing how to tell if the crank is just loose or needs to be rebuilt, knowing if your hub is the issue with shifting and not the derailleur? Find some friend who can help you. Once your bike is set up, normal maintenance should allow you to use the bike a long time.
All of us have had this learning curve. I always had friends who were good with tools and would overhaul my cheap finds, when I was young with little money. You can learn to do everything yourself but the tools are not always that common for some stuff. Most bikes need a special tool for the crank. Little stuff like a loose head tube can end up being bigger issues later. Someone in the know can also help you with your seat height so your spin is correct.
Your bike actually looks pretty good in the picture. The only question I would have is when you ride is there any flex at the joints where the bike folds. That and if the frame is really straight could be a factor in shifting. Your better finding someone who knows bikes who will look the thing over and give you an honest opinion of what you have. You really need a front brake. At times it is important to stop using both tires. Your rims look alloy and you have great looking tires.
Remember even if you find another bike, the parts may not be as interchangeable as you think. If you buy another used bike it could have it's own new set of issues to contend with. I suggest finding a super cheap bike mechanic who will give you a full rundown on your current bike. They at times have used parts laying around which could bring your bike up to spec. Most of these guys are used to folks not wanting to put a ton of money into a bike but are interested in spending the least to make a bike safe and enjoyable.

Think of financial intermediation as consisting of three S's:
Spreading (that is, using diversification of risk)
Selecting (that is, choosing the right risks to take)
Signaling (that is, convincing people that the intermediary is sound)
In my favorite example of fruit trees subject to disease, spreading means investing in a portfolio of fruit trees, so that you are not dependent on one tree. Think of an index fund.
Selecting means choosing carefully the trees in which one invests. This means spending money to gather data and developing skills to process that data in a way that allows the intermediary to select the trees least likely to suffer from disease.
Signaling means doing something to convince investors that you are skilled as an intermediary. How can an investor tell the difference between an intermediary that is skilled at selection and one that is merely pretending to be skilled? There are various signaling mechanisms. Banks used to present consumers with fancy lobbies and immaculately dressed employees in order to signal soundness. Today, they put the "FDIC insured" symbol on the door to signal soundness.
Signals can lose their credibility. AAA-rated asset-backed security is no longer a trusted signal.
I think that focusing on the signaling aspect of finance is an appropriate role for Masonomics. There is a lot that one can do with this approach. | <urn:uuid:1ef53838-7add-4c24-9a46-9df2309b8d55> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2009/05/the_three_ss_of.html | 2015-01-30T09:24:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115862432.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161102-00215-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964225 | 280 |

An additional aspect to this job that are going to prepare it other than various other jobs is the responsibility that features it. You are anticipated to be one hundred per-cent committed to your responsibility and also the commitment of your fellow police officers. Cops operate often entails massive police gear including bulletproof vests, batons as well as boots. If you become injured or hurt while working, the department may certainly not only deliver you to the medical center for treatment, however you are going to likewise be placed on routine duty to ensure that you may be ready to report to operate as quickly as you get back. This is an additional reason why you need to have to reveal excellent police perform so that you will certainly be looked at for the job.
Because police job is actually a strongly delicate position, you need to have to recognize the right way to handle on your own as well as others. It is really significant for a police officer to always keep a professional demeanor. When an authorities officer is actually involved in an accident, the police power has a very strained condition. Because of this, you require to consistently work out caution when communicating along with the public and any sort of participant of the media. If you are actually having difficulty with somebody specifically, talk with your manager or the police captain as soon as possible to figure out what the issue is actually and to look for aid coming from all of them.

An occupation in police is actually both a challenging and fulfilling occupation selection, but there are several advantages to a career in police.
There is a large range of authorities job that may be done by police policemans, all police work is focused on the public’s safety and security. As a result of to the fact that there is such a higher demand for trained police officers as well as the relatively low turnover rate among new authorities employees, jobs in the force remain open as well as can usually be packed by current authorities graduates that have actually been actually chosen for a variety of main reasons, consisting of shown management skills and also a displayed commitment to promote the Constitution and also state regulations.
Numerous neighborhood cops divisions rely on liaison policemans to aid them along with day-to-day tasks like social relations as well as social understanding efforts.

They can easily also function as informal agents at conferences in between police department workers and also area members to ensure the police department and also its work. Leonard Lugo

Ambulances wait outside an emergency room in Florida. Photo: Jeffrey Greenberg / Getty
Envision Healthcare is paying $31 million to sweep away allegations that its emergency room staffing subsidiary, EmCare, was in cahoots with the former Health Management Associates hospital chain to maximize profits by admitting patients from the ER "without regard to whether the admissions are medically necessary."
In addition to the settlement with the Department of Justice, Envision entered into a five-year "corporate integrity agreement" in which the federal government will closely monitor Envision's compliance.
Go deeper: Envision also faces allegations its ERs avoid contracting with insurers, which leads to surprising medical bills. Sen. Claire McCaskill has demanded answers about the company's ER billing practices, but her office has not answered inquiries about whether Envision has provided the requested information. | <urn:uuid:5f05b82c-45ec-48cd-abe7-98c28f651a8c> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.axios.com/envision-healthcare-pays-31-million-to-settle-er-fraud-claims-2518647411.html | 2020-08-08T19:09:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738015.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808165417-20200808195417-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.948846 | 170 |
Auctions on ebay, with typos or misspellings in title or summary no one can locate with regular search. Our typo search knows and searches for exactly these
mispelledmisspelled words in public auctions. Thereby you have the possibility to find a little-noticed misspelled thing with just a few quotes at an inexpensive price.
You can narrow the results of typographical errors even further by clicking within the search results the appropriate category on the left.
Then you will just see the spelling mistakes on eBay from this category.
Exceptionally big varieties of eBay sellers introduce silly spelling mistakes right into their public auction listings when placing them on ebay.
Every day, as a result of these reckless blunders, hundreds of misspelled ebay items simply don't offer since they can't be located using ebay's own integrated search tools.
Due to the fact that they are harder to locate these Auction Typos usually draw in fewer bids as well as they sell for reduced rates compared to properly meant products (if they sell at all).
As an outcome of this truth you can either use these ebay misspellings to obtain yourself a real bargain or you can take the item that you acquired cheaply, relist it correctly and make a revenue from a person elses reckless error.
Typo Bargains is a brand new start-up website designed around the premise of giving you access to Ebay listings which may features, well, typos and misspellings. These listings with Ebay misspelled words in the titles aren't often featured in normal searches, and as such, they don't get a lot - if any - bids. This equates to particularly valuable deals all over EBay's massive website that simply haven't been accessible... until now.
So, that you're fully able to understand just what we're talking about, today we'll take a look at just how Typo Bargains works, how their search options are set up, and what the exact benefits of using their service is. Let's get started.
The process is incredibly simple, and very easy to understand. You do not have to be a technological whiz, or a great understanding of either computers or the internet to make use of Typo Bargain's website. We can break the process down in a short step by step process like this:
To get results which are more defined or strictly catered to your specific search needs, you can also try the advanced search options. This will help you to garner a more stricter compilation of Ebay misspelled listings, although the exact results will depend on which search options you have decided to use. Let's go ahead and take a look at those search options now.
The default search setting on Typo Bargains is a basic typo search, which allows you to look for the most common typos in the titled you typed into the search bar, without any restrictions or limitations. You are also able to access an advanced search option by clicking the little down arrow on the far right hand side of the search bar. Here you are able to search for products based on a number of factors, which include: minimum price, maximum price, category, what order you would like your results presented to you, the type of auctions to be included in your search, and 'how to search.'
How to search includes four multiple choice options. The first option is to include only listings with typos, with the second item to include only items without typos. Alternatively, you can search for items both with or without typos in the title, which is what would be the most highly recommended option as it presents you with the most options. The final option is to search for the most watched items, so you can see what is currently trending.
You can also access a categories search which will allow you to browse through the most popular categories on Ebay, or a live search which gives you a comprehensive listing of the most popularly search typo items at that exact moment. Both of these options are particularly useful in figuring out what is or is not currently trending on Ebay.
There are a number of benefits associated with the use of Typo Bargains. Just a few of these impressive benefits include:

Control Panel is the page where you can access all features of Joomla. So in the Joomla backend site, we can access Control Panel. In this tutorial, we will learn what is the Joomla Control Panel?
The control panel allows access to many defaults by using the Joomla! Menu bar, a general notification area, and clickable icons. This functionality is accessible. The following is a list of some of the Control Panel’s features:
- Users, menus, content, categories, and modules can all be created.
- Users, menus, articles, categories, components, modules, templates, and plugins can all be managed in one place.
- Templates, components, plugins, and modules should all be installed.
- The media manager allows you to upload files like photos, PDFs, and more.
- Joomla’s core software installed templates, plugins, components, and modules need all be updated.
How to Access Control Panel [Joomla]
By logging into the back-end of Joomla!, the control panel can be accessed and it should be considered as the main overview page for website control and the creation of content. The Control Panel is displayed after logging in. To access the control panel in the back-end from another area:
Select System → Control Panel from the drop-down menu of the Administrator Panel of Joomla!.
Note: Above screenshot is from the Joomla3.X version.
Admin Module –
We can add several modules in the Control Panel. In the above screenshot, you can see several modules which are set by default. For example:

Social Disorders List
Social Anxiety Disorder (social phobia) is the third largest mental health care problem in the world today.
The latest government epidemiological data show social anxiety affects about 7% of the population at any given time. The lifetime prevalence rate (i.e., the chances of developing social anxiety disorder at any time during the lifespan) stands slightly above 13%. (See journal citation on the Social Anxiety Association home page.)
Social anxiety is the fear of social situations that involve interaction with other people. You could say social anxiety is the fear and anxiety of being negatively judged and evaluated by other people. It is a pervasive disorder and causes anxiety and fear in most all areas of a person's life. It is chronic because it does not go away on its own. Only direct cognitive-behavioral therapy can change the brain, and help people overcome social anxiety.
People with social anxiety are many times seen by others as being shy, quiet, backward, withdrawn, inhibited, unfriendly, nervous, aloof, and disinterested.
Paradoxically, people with social anxiety want to make friends, be included in groups, and be involved and engaged in social interactions. But having social anxiety prevents people from being able to do the things they want to do. Although people with social anxiety want to be friendly, open, and sociable, it is fear (anxiety) that holds them back.
People with social anxiety usually experience significant distress in the following situations:
- Being introduced to other people
- Being teased or criticized
- Being the center of attention
- Being watched or observed while doing something
- Having to say something in a formal, public situation
- Meeting people in authority ("important people/authority figures")
- Feeling insecure and out of place in social situations ("I don’t know what to say.")
- Embarrassing easily (e.g., blushing, shaking)
- Meeting other peoples’ eyes
- Swallowing, writing, talking, making phone calls if in public
This list is not a complete list of symptoms - other symptoms may be associated with social anxiety as well.
The feelings that accompany social anxiety include anxiety, high levels of fear, nervousness, automatic negative emotional cycles, racing heart, blushing, excessive sweating, dry throat and mouth, trembling, and muscle twitches. In severe situations, people can develop a dysmorphia concerning part of their body (usually the face) in which they perceive themselves irrationally and negatively. | <urn:uuid:efd9cc10-3609-4e63-8e0d-dd86dd649ea4> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | http://issues-and-debates.com/social-disorders-list | 2019-10-13T20:36:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986647517.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20191013195541-20191013222541-00374.warc.gz | en | 0.930693 | 515 |

Related: Check out my in-depth comparison of Behr Ultra vs. Marquee.
As you can see, both brands offer plenty of flexibility for your indoor, outdoor, and specialty projects. Glidden offers more products, while Behr is streamlined in its offerings. The takeaway is that both have comparable products.
The main difference is that all Behr paints include primer, while Glidden gives you a choice of primer/paint combinations or primer-free paint.
The right paint for you largely depends on the job you are planning.
For example, if you have a high-traffic area indoors susceptible to scuff marks, you might opt for Behr Ultra Scuff Defense. If you are painting in an area known for mildew, you’d likely want Glidden Color Place ULTRA Interior Paint + Primer.
You can learn more about each of these options on HomeDepot.com.
Where It Is Sold
A major difference between Glidden and Behr is where they are sold.
If you’re leaning towards Behr paint but don’t live close to a Home Depot, you can buy it on HomeDepot.com and have it shipped to your home. In most cases, delivery is free if you spend a certain amount.
Before buying, you can use these paint calculators to help you get the right amount:
As a rule, it’s always good to purchase slightly more paint than you need to avoid running out in the middle of your project.
Glidden and Behr both offer a wide range of colors and feature multiple tools and resources to help you find the perfect one.
Yet, Glidden and Behr’s colors have subtle variations, so I advise picking your color only after you’ve decided on which brand to buy.
Both brands offer 8-ounce paint samples, which are a great way to test out a color before committing to an entire gallon. And both brands offer innovative online tools to help you narrow the options.
Glidden Color Tools
Glidden offers over 1,000 paint colors. Check out all the colors at once, or sort them by color family. The company also provides plenty of resources online to help you choose your paint color. The Glidden Room Visualizer tool enables you to see what the color will look like in any room of your house.
Simply upload a clear, well-lit photo of the room you wish to paint, choose the intended color(s) and click “paint” to get an idea of how it will look. If you don’t have a photo, you can use a pre-loaded sample room similar to yours.
This technology is the closest thing to seeing the finished product without picking up a brush. Plus, you can try as many colors as you desire for free.
One standout feature is the option to choose a color palette based on a picture. So, if you have a photo of something that inspires the look of your room, such as a beaded pillow or a work of art, you can upload it, and Glidden will show you each color that matches your inspiration piece.
Behr Color Tools
Behr doesn’t list the number of colors it has in its palette, but it breaks down each color family extensively in the Explore Color tool.
Like Glidden, Behr has a visualization feature to help you get a sense of what your painted room will look like.
However, unlike Glidden’s tools, with Behr, you can see a side-by-side before and after view and can share your project by email or on social media.
In short, it offers a bit more customization.
Just like Glidden, you’ll get the complete offering of colors from Behr’s collection, but as an added benefit, you’ll have access to a live color expert you can chat with while you build your project.
One of the most significant differences between Glidden and Behr paint is the price.
If you compare similar formulations (i.e., flat paint to flat paint), Behr is more expensive.
But keep in mind that prices are going to vary depending on the type of paint and finish.
For example, paint and primer combos are more expensive than paint only, and high gloss paint will run you more than flat.
Even within each brand, prices will vary. For example, Behr Marquee is the brand’s most expensive option, while Behr Premium Plus is more affordable.

What Home Depot Says About the Difference Between Behr and Glidden
To get an expert opinion on Glidden vs. Behr, I called the paint department at four local Massachusetts Home Depot stores and asked them a simple question: What’s the difference between Glidden and Behr?
The answers I got back showed a clear consensus: Behr is a much higher quality paint than Glidden.
The paint department at the Norwood, Massachusetts Home Depot told me that Behr is much more popular because it goes on smooth and dries much faster.
The representative at the Avon, Massachusetts Home Depot said that Behr has superior durability and quality and that it’s much better at resisting stains. She also mentioned that if you want the best of the best, go with Behr Marquee.
The experts at The Home Depot in Quincy, Massachusetts, echoed the same sentiment, saying that Behr has better quality and consistency than Glidden. The representative added that most Behr paints require two coats, Behr Marquee only requires one, but customers often complain that they need to apply three coats of Glidden.
Finally, the paint department at the Natick, Massachusetts Home Depot was very candid, saying: Behr is the better paint. They said that it goes on smoothly, lasts longer, and is an overall better product.
Clearly, Behr is the favored paint in the eyes of the folks that sell both brands.
What Others Are Saying About Glidden and Behr
You just learned what paint experts at Home Depot have to say, but what about DIY enthusiasts, professionals, and independent product reviewers?
Below is a breakdown of what others are saying about these two brands.
The Hartford Courant Consumer Reports recognize Glidden Premium flat and satin paints as superior exterior paints in a test that compared 76 paints and stains. The one-year test exposed the paint to harsh outdoor conditions equivalent to three years of wear.
Good Housekeeping reported that after testing Glidden Premium interior paint, it found that it dried well and was resistant to mold, mildew, fading, and stains. On the downside, it does not stand up to abrasions, and you may need more paint to cover an area adequately.
Good Housekeeping also tested High Endurance interior paint and gave it high marks for wear resistance. It has zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can cause health issues when inhaled. Yet, the paint had poor coverage and finish, making it a substandard choice in that regard.
Good Housekeeping reviewed a Glidden paint and primer combination (Glidden DUO) for interior projects. The test results showed that the affordable paint combo had low VOCs and decent coverage and stain removal. It failed in wear resistance and finish quality.
Continuing with Good Housekeeping, the reviewers chose Glidden Premium interior paint and primer combination as the best choice for kitchens and bathrooms since it is mold, mildew, and stain-resistant. The paint dried fast and can be scrubbed or washed without losing its integrity.
The Spruce named Glidden Essential interior paint as the best budget buy. Reviewers called out its affordability, excellent coverage, and “easy-to-clean finish.” It also praised the paint line for low VOCs with minimal odor. The 15-year warranty is a nice bonus.
Business Insider chose Glidden Premium Semi-Gloss Latex exterior paint as the best choice for brick, stucco, and other porous outdoor surfaces. It dries fast (one hour in temps above 35°F) and holds up against chipping and fading.
Overall, Glidden is seen as an affordable paint brand, boasting lots of color options. But the value diminishes due to its limitations in coverage.
I’ve analyzed thousands of reviews and forum posts about Glidden, and most complaints focus on drying time, coverage, consistency, and how true to color it is once you paint your walls or trim. The main thing people love? How affordable it is.
In the land of DIY, Bob Vila names Behr Premium Low Luster Interior/Exterior Porch Paint as the best for high-traffic porch or patio floors. According to the site, it’s durable and resists wear, cracking, and peeling. It also boasts excellent coverage (one gallon per 400 square feet).
Bob Vila named Behr Premium Plus and Behr Alkyd Satin Enamel (specialty paint) as two of the top five interior paint choices. Both received high marks for zero or low VOCs, making them indoor friendly due to a low odor threshold.
Premium Plus was noted for drying fast (an hour), excellent coverage, and built-in primer so you can go directly from sanding to painting.
The Alkyd Satin Enamel was praised for its stain and wear resistance. It also dries and cures faster than other oil-based paints.
The Spruce called Behr Premium Plus interior paint the best white paint, noting its easy application, full coverage (even on dark, pre-painted walls), and resistance to mildew.
The Wirecutter reviewed interior paints, and although they did not name Behr in its top three, it was mentioned several times by painters, albeit with mixed reviews. Some claimed it offered excellent coverage, while others called it “terrible.” Glidden was not mentioned in the review.
Good Housekeeping reviewed Behr Premium Plus interior paint and reported that while it was stain and fade-resistant, it left more to be desired in terms of coverage quality (needing more than one coat). The testers also noticed spatter during application.
Good Housekeeping called Behr Marquee the best choice for covering old paint and Behr Premium Plus as the best choice for laundry rooms due to its stain and moisture resistance. Both lines boast low VOCs.
The Spruce chose Behr Premium Plus exterior paint as the best overall and Behr Masonry & Brick paint as the best for stucco in its list of nine top exterior paints. Of note was Behr Premium Plus’s durability, as well as its resistance to stains, moisture, mildew, and fading from UV exposure. Behr Masonry & Brick had similar accolades and was also praised for its 20-year warranty.
Business Insider gave Behr Premium Plus Ultra the designation of best exterior paint overall. The reviewers loved its 10-year durability guarantee and versatility. Tests proved its resistance to fading, cracking, and mildew.
Real Simple chose Behr as one of the top seven interior paints for its value, durability, and finish.
Consumer Reports ranked Behr Marquee and Behr Ultra as two of the six top-performing interior paints based on lab tests evaluating how well the paint hides dark colors and stains.
Consumer Reports gave Behr Marquee interior paint high marks for oil and water stain resistance. It also gave it a perfect score for covering dark colors with just one coat.
Consumer Reports tested Behr Premium Plus Ultra exterior paint a good score for resisting color change, cracking, dirt, and mildew. After being exposed to accelerated weathering, its appearance held up after three years and only slightly degraded after six and nine years.
Overall, Behr ranks near the top of most “best of” lists. Though it costs more than Glidden, it has the accolades to support its quality. Plus, all Behr interior and exterior paint comes with built-in primer, which adds to its cost.
Professional painters tend to have mixed reviews about Behr, but DIYers are pretty steady with praise for the brand.
The one sticking point? The price. Even so, many express being willing to pay extra for a paint that delivers on its promises.
Bottom Line: Should You Use Glidden or Behr Paint?
Now that you know how Glidden and Behr stack up, which is better?
Before I share my recommendation, let’s do a quick recap:
- Glidden has more lines of paint than Behr.
- All Behr paint contains primer, but Glidden offers primer-free paint.
- Glidden is sold at multiple retail locations and online; you can only get Behr at The Home Depot, either in-store or online.
- Both brands have a wide range of colors and helpful online color selection tools.
- Behr is more expensive than Glidden.
- Paint experts from several Home Depots agree that Behr is the high-quality paint with better coverage and superior durability.
- Both brands have positive and negative reviews, but the average sentiment is that they are both solid brands. Each has standout lines such as Glidden Premium and Behr Marquee.
Bottom line — Behr is regarded as higher quality paint, but you can only buy it at Home Depot. Glidden offers a few premium paint options that can get the job done for less.
With paint, you typically get what you pay for. The higher price usually equates to better coverage and durability.
Both brands offer multiple lines at different price points and quality thresholds. Overall, Behr is more expensive and better quality. Its most premium paint is Behr Marquee.

IMRA notes the names of the countries that provide financial backing to B'tselem and PCHR (Palestinian Centre for Human Rights):
B'tselem's funders include the governments of UK, Norway, Switzerland and Ireland and the New Israel Fund; PCHR's funders include EU and the governments of Norway, Ireland and Denmark.If they're going to double down on condemning Israel, you would think that they would get their money's worth.
No such luck. According to NGO Monitor, the results of the two organizations is wildly different:
True, the two groups stick 'meticulously' to their own agenda, but apparently when you fund groups to condemn Israel--your results may vary.
This make it difficult to take seriously what Seth Freedman writes in the Guardian:
Unfortunately for Freeman's critique, openness does not determine the accuracy of the report--regardless of how detailed the report. As it so happens, behind the wildly fluctuating numbers given by Israel's critics is the questionable methodology:According to the IDF, 89 minors and 49 women lost their lives during the attack; according to B'Tselem's research, 252 minors and 111 women died as a result of the military offensive. In line with its usual reluctance to co-operate with certain human rights groups, the army refused to provide B'Tselem with details of how it arrived at such markedly lower casualty numbers, raising more questions than answers about the methodology employed and the veracity of its own fact-finding operation.B'Tselem, on the other hand, has been entirely open about the way it carried out its extensive study, making available its complete findings on its website and opting out of the opaque, oblique practices so often endorsed by armies and governments when discussing the events of war. However, the mere fact that B'Tselem appears to have nothing to hide [except perhaps for how much foreign governments are paying them--DA] will not stop the naysayers laying into it with flailing fists as soon as they get their hands on the report.
· The timing of these publications indicates an attempt to impact the findings of Judge Richard Goldstone’s UN investigation prior to the report’s imminent release.
· B’tselem adopted controversial International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) guidelines which use a highly disputed and unworkable definition of the standard for those “taking a direct part in hostilities”. This means that people who are closely involved in Hamas' offensive infrastructure are exempted. Many ICRC legal consultants withdrew support for these guidelines on this basis.
· Although B’tselem has improved its credibility compared to previous reports, by listing casualties’ affiliations to terrorist factions, these same individuals such as Hamas senior military leader Saeed Sayam are still not classified as combatants.
· PCHR’s definition of a “non-combatant” is even more problematic, and only includes those holding a weapon at the precise moment of death. Consequently, PCHR classifies known terrorists as civilians, such as Hamas activist Nizar Rayan.
· PCHR’s consistently hostile agenda towards Israel, including promotion of anti-Israel boycotts, places its’ research in clear contravention of the International Bar Association’s London-Lund Guidelines on fact finding which demand unbiased investigators.Applying Freedman's critique to B'tselem, looking at its criteria results in "raising more questions than answers about the methodology employed and the veracity of its own fact-finding operation."
Of course, Ireland and Norway could have gone with with Human Rights Watch--the best human rights group that money can buy--but that is a problem too, as David Bernstein puts it:
And let's not forget Human Rights Watch's go-to man, Marc Garlasco:
From what I can tell, the various revelations over the last few weeks about Human Rights Watch--the fundraising trip to Saudi Arabia, the anti-Israel activist backgrounds of its Middle East staff, the contemptuous attitude toward pro-Israel critics (who often turn out to be right) contrasted with the obsequious attitude toward anti-Israel critics, and so on--has cost the organization its credibility among a very broad swath of Israeli and Western pro-Israel public opinion, including the moderate left.From now on, every HRW report on Israel is going to be greeted with "you mean the Saudi-funded HRW," or "you mean the report written by the woman [HRW Middle East director Sarah Leah Whitson] who is a great admirer of Norman Finkelstein and lobbied Kofi Annan against Israel in the middle of the Second Intifada" or "you mean the report written by the guy [Stork] who supports the anti-Israel boycott movement and has been venting his hostility to Israel for almost forty years" or "you mean HRW, the organization that fails to take down from its website anti-Israel reports even when it has admitted they are inaccurate," and so on.
Read the whole thing.
Marc Garlasco is the “senior military analyst” in HRW’s Emergencies Division, following seven years serving in various roles with the Pentagon that include senior intelligence analyst on Iraq, and performing target selection and damage assessment in Serbia and Iraq.
Garlasco’s statements are framed by a strong anti-military sentiment, which suddenly appeared in parallel with his departure from the Pentagon (White 2008), as well as emotional sympathy for the Palestinians as victims. He is an avid collector of Nazi paraphernalia [see here] – his internet moniker is “Flak 88” and he has published a book on the subject of Flak badges (see Garlasco 2008).
Although the level of his expertise and experience are obscure, Garlasco consistently presents himself and is presented as an “expert” on weapons and military technology. He has no combat experience, and his various Pentagon positions were apparently not concentrated on dealing with the details of weapons systems. This has not prevented him from making public statements and authoring reports that project the pretense of both a detailed knowledge of weapons such as unmanned drones and white phosphorous, and an understanding of the implications of their use under international law. [emphasis added]
These are pertinent issues that have been taken by NGO Monitor and others with the accuracy of these groups that claim to be independent and impartial groups, yet are funded by European countries.
Thus when Freedman, no doubt echoing the request of many, declares:
Those behind B'Tselem's report are calling for their research to be used as part of a wider investigation into whether or not Israel committed war crimes during Cast Lead. Such a request should not be brushed under the carpet, either by Israeli officials or by those employed by quasi-governmental thinktanks to drown out dissenting voices whenever the IDF's tactics and behaviour are questioned. [emphasis added]Mr. Freedman, like others, conveniently confuses substantiated criticism with "brushing under the carpet" and "drowning out dissenting voices".
Freedman, like many critics forget Patrick Moynihan's admonition:
You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts.And I suppose Ireland and Norway are entitled to their money's worth--too bad they didn't get it.

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and traditional automotive players, in recent times, are under continuous pressure to bring about advanced technologies in vehicles that will improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions and be more capital-efficient. OEMs stand to gain the most advantage with the growth of electrical steering column lock market, as customers prefer relying on OEMs for their process expertise and reliability. On the other hand, aging vehicles will impact electrical steering column lock market size from the aftermarket domain, as these vehicles are the ones that did not have an installed lock at the time of manufacture, but would now be forced to have one installed or security purposes.
Electrical steering column lock market has been witnessing a profitable growth rate since the last few years, pertaining to the growing popularity of the electric power steering (EPS). The EPS technology is lately being preferred in automobiles for its ease of use and the fuel efficiency. Also, there has been a paradigm shift in the deployment of automotive components from mechanical to electronic solutions, which has led to electrical steering column lock (ESCL) market carving out a positive growth trajectory. By 2024 ESCL market size is predicted to surpass a valuation of USD 31 billion, driven by innovations in the automotive sector and the existence of a favorable regulatory landscape that mandates the adoption of EPS in new automobiles.
Due to the robust progress of the automotive sector in countries such as China, India and Indonesia, APAC electrical steering column lock market is expected to witness a substantial growth rate over 2017-2024. China alone, in 2016, accounted for 48% of the global SUV shares.

Season 4, Episode 10: ‘New Year’s Day’
“All is quiet on New Year’s Day.” Fat chance, Bono.
U2’s wintry hit “New Year’s Day” may kick off the “Billions” episode it shares a title with, but Bono’s opening line certainly doesn’t describe it. Directed with verve and humor by Adam Bernstein and written by the series creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien — always a sign that the game is well and truly afoot — “New Year’s Day” has the feel of a turning point for the season. Nothing shocking or momentous takes place, but the air is electric.
This, despite taking place on a traditionally low-key holiday. On a day when the rest of the world is nursing hangovers, watching bowl games or simply kicking back and chilling out, these workaholic characters are preparing for the fight of their lives. Or the fight of their year, anyway. (They do a lot of fighting.)
The focus of the episode falls on Wendy, who has become the show’s protagonist since Bobby and Chuck declared a cease-fire on her behalf. Her license to practice is on the line because of her unethical handling of Taylor Mason’s personal information, and her normally professional facade is being eaten away before her colleagues’ eyes.
Taylor sails smoothly through a mock medical-board hearing, augmented by Chuck and Wendy’s one-time friend Lonnie Watley (Malachi Weir). But Wendy flunks her practice session royally. Recognizing his wife’s dire straits, Chuck suggests a bargain: accept a suspension and probation in exchange for eventual expunction. When he advises her to take the deal instead of make a deal, though, the jig is up.
Wendy knows now that he expects her to lose and has made face-saving arrangements behind the scenes. She suspects this is as much about his own convenience as it is about her well-being, and she sends him off.
Her work husband succeeds where her real husband fails. Taking her aside, Bobby reveals the moment he knew she would be his partner for life. It wasn’t when she read the Riot Act to a roomful of grieving 9/11 families who were demanding that Bobby, virtually the lone survivor in his firm, immediately pony up the money he’d promised them. It was when, after defending him publicly, she told him that if he didn’t deliver, “I’ll kill you myself.”
Loyal to him in public, loyal to a greater cause in private, willing to hold him to his word and call him on his mistakes: This, Bobby says, makes Wendy the ideal ally. It is also why, much as it pains them both to do so, he advises her to approach Taylor and simply apologize for what she did.
Stepping out of the Taylor Mason Capital elevator, her dark clothing darker still in the low light of the closed office, Wendy does what Bobby suggests. Then she adds some ill-advised advice, telling Taylor not to be the vengeance-seeking creep that she and Bobby have become.
That’s the moment that lets Taylor know, if there was any doubt, not to buy what Wendy’s selling. “Your apology isn’t real,” Mason says. “This, like everything with you, is now merely transactional. That’s who and what you are.”
So Taylor makes a demand: Only if Wendy asks Taylor not to testify directly, laying bare the quid pro quo behind the mea culpa, will the hedge-fund genius relent.
But even that gets weaponized in the feud. Taylor knows that in effectively forcing Wendy to decide her fate for herself, she will face a judge harsher than any medical board could ever be.
It should be noted here that Taylor has experience on both the vengeance and self-judgment sides of the equation this episode. While Mason Cap plots to take over the No. 1 appliance supplier to Rebecca Cantu’s ailing department-store chain in order to stick it to her boyfriend, Mason Cap’s founder is confronted by its major-domo, Sarah, about, ahem, extracurricular activities with the company’s investor relations specialist, Lauren. It’s one thing for Mafee to be interested, but Lauren is Taylor’s employee. Is that the kind of hedge-fund hot shot Taylor wants to be?
What of our other major players this New Year? Chuck appears to blithely waltz even deeper into corruption, cutting a deal with Treasury Secretary Todd Krakow to free up the funds needed for his father’s construction project.
Bobby, meanwhile, hauls in both himself and pretty much every Axe Cap character with a speaking role on the holiday. He has pretexts for each: He has to help Wendy prepare; he has to defend against Taylor’s takeover of that appliance company; he has to come up with an appropriate tax-evasion scheme to offset the 18 fine art masterpieces he purchased on a whim at Art Basel; he needs Wags to deliver Joe’s Stone Crab takeout from Miami Beach; and so on. But he really just wants them to feel the same unceasing drive he does.
“What’s the point of being rich if you can’t [expletive] enjoy it?” Wendy asks, before convincing him to send everyone home again.
“I’ll let you know when I do,” he replies.
(Wags, as it happens, was relieved of the expensive watch gifted to him by his dying father during his Florida debauch. Wendy hires, and I’m quoting here, “a professional cuddler” to soothe him. I couldn’t let this pass without a mention.)
And then there’s Bryan Connerty, of all characters, who is faced with the kind of professional temptations troubling Wendy and Taylor. His wiretap of Chuck’s meeting with Krakow fails to yield the juiciest details. His underling Kate Sacker refuses to bend on her mandate to preserve the integrity of the probe.
You know what that means: Dr. Gus to the rescue! The bowlegged bulldog of a performance coach advises Connerty to commit fully to his mission in the most over-the-top ways imaginable. Sample quote: “The kamikaze get a bad name because everyone wants to focus on the suicide!”
So what should we take from Bryan’s subsequent decision to reconnect with his shiftless, bar-fighting big brother, a criminal whose safecracking skills can retrieve the Krakow deal from a vault in Charles Rhoades Sr.’s house? Is this, too, a suicide mission?
And what to make of the similarity between Dr. Gus’s praise of Bryan’s commitment and Bobby’s praise of Wendy’s? Is she wrong to feel that Axe is more loyal to her than Chuck, who can’t even remember the moment he knew she was the one? To quote Bobby, I’ll let you know when I do.
That not-knowing is what I enjoy most about “Billions.” Each episode is clockwork precise, doling out exactly enough information to get to the next step and no more. The arch dialogue sizzles in the brain, which is already hot from doing the work of trying to figure out where things are headed. And just when you think things are ready to boil over, you’re kept at a simmer for another week. You’ll get the dish you ordered exactly when the master chefs preparing it are ready to serve it.
Knowing this show, I’m guessing it will be served cold. | <urn:uuid:6f2e9234-0b5a-41e9-8620-5baf596fc509> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://bkknews.org/billions-season-4-episode-10-new-years-irresolution/ | 2019-06-27T11:07:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628001089.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20190627095649-20190627121649-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.96714 | 1,687 |
Music Monday: Flume
We all have heard of Skrillex, Zedd, Tiesto, Steve Aoki, and/or Calvin Harris. If you haven't, you've probably lived under a rock all your life or have never turned on the radio. Flume is a also a DJ, but this 23 year old Australian is not your typical DJ. I wouldn't even classify them under the same category as DJs. Some have classified his music as trippy pop, experimental, and electronica, but I've just classified it under "the songs you need to listen to in order to get shit done". He's become close friends with Lorde and has taken a spin on her hit single Tennis Court, which I personally prefer over the original. You'll be seeing a lot of him this year (FINALLY) I'm sure, as he's going to be one of the headliners at Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza. How's that for making a first impression? Give a listen to Hermitude - HyperParadise (Flume remix) if I haven't convinced you enough and my all time favorite track by Flume - Sleepless ft. Jezebel Doran. picture credit: Lollapalooza.com Lorde and Flume photographer credit: Caroline McCredie. | <urn:uuid:81a1fbed-146d-4dd3-bd50-3d1666b3ac93> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://www.mermaidwishing.com/blog/flume | 2017-05-23T08:50:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607593.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523083809-20170523103809-00483.warc.gz | en | 0.961463 | 272 |
I noticed that J. Crew Factory is having a sale today (30% extra off clearance, plus free shipping with the promo code STOCKUP). I love all of these items together – how pretty would they be for a back-to-school outfit??
(I snagged the pumpkin shirt and chambray skirt – I can’t wait to wear them walking around campus with the leaves crunching under my shoes and a slight breeze!)

I am really happy to be writing for Sharanya aka +Shey divine . She is a very talented and a professional blogger and her blog Just Not The Cakes was an instant inspiration for me to take blogging seriously.
I love her blog and look forward to try a lot of recipes from her space.
I was going through Shranaya’s blog and came across the Guest-Posts page and immediately sent her a mail asking to do a guest-post for her blog. She was kind enough to accept my request immediately and also quite patient to give me enough time to complete my guest-post.

Tower cranes signal a place of change. Found primarily in cities, these metal obelisks mark the location of new or under-repair buildings on which personnel operate in elevated work environments. The concentration of the world’s 100,000 cranes are distributed based on their demand. Dubai by far has the most, with 1,000 active cranes in its skyline.
Much like how the world shares an assemblage of tower cranes for completing construction tasks, there are numerous international standards that assure shared efficiency and safety in the use of tower cranes. Part 3 of the ISO 8686 series of international standards, ISO 8686-3:2018 – Cranes – Design Principles For Loads And Load Combinations – Part 3: Tower Cranes, is focused on tower crane loads.
Tower cranes used for construction work are exclusively equipped with a hook as the load-handling device. Considering that these construction cranes often need to operate at elevation with varying loads and wind speeds, there is a need to prove their strength and stability. Design loads of tower cranes should take into account the most unfavorable effects than can be expected throughout the crane’s lifespan.
ISO 8686-3:2018 establishes the application of ISO 8686-1 (which covers the general design principles for loads and load combinations of cranes) to tower cranes for construction work as defined in ISO 4306-3 (which outlines vocabulary relevant to tower cranes).
ISO 8686-3:2018 establishes load and load combination design principles of tower cranes, considering dynamic factors, out-of-service wind, out-of-service wind from rear, out-of-service wind from front, out-of-wind-service from side, and loads caused by erection, dismantling, and transport.
ISO 8686-3:2018 is a revision of both the first edition of the same standard from 1998 and ISO 12485:1998. Replacing both these documents, the changes made to ISO 8686-3:2018 involve the integration of:
- rules for the application of ISO 8686-1:2012 – Cranes – Design Principles For Loads And Load Combinations – Part 1: General
- special rules regarding the calculation of wind loads on tower cranes in the out-of-service state
- rules regarding the calculation of rigid body stability
- rules regarding the calculation of loads on crane support structures
- rules for the calculation of climbing systems
- rules for the calculation of mobile self-erecting tower cranes

It can be difficult to manage "today's" tasks when sometimes there's too much to do on a given day. This week's tip, shared by kylir, suggests using priorities instead of due dates for any tasks that don't need to be done on a specific day.
I'm often annoyed by having to reschedule overdue tasks when in reality I just want to get that task done today and if not today then as soon as possible. To solve this problem, I've created a simple "Today" Smart List which shows things that are due today or which have a priority.
I then mark tasks in my other lists with a priority which then means I should do them as soon as I can. If I don't finish them today, they automatically appear in my today list for tomorrow without me having to change their due dates. My "Today" Smart List looks like this:
dueBefore:tomorrow OR NOT priority:none

How does diet affect medication?
The food we eat (any food) is chemistry as much as anything contained in a pill: thus, it stimulates or inhibits pathways.
Many studies support the concept that the onset of neurodegenerative diseases may be delayed or mitigated with use of dietary agents that protect against β-amyloid plaque formation and oxidative stress. (10,11) Find a more in-depth review on what is best to eat in order to prevent or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
Tailoring nutrition around specific needs supports the body’s balance and can aid reducing side effects of medication; some other advantages include increasing medication efficacy, and eventually even lowering the dose of drug required, which would further decrease side effects.
Conventional medication for Alzheimer’s Disease does not come devoid of side effects.
Which is the most common Alzheimer’s Disease medication?
Conventional treatments include:
- AChE inhibitor treatment, which has been shown to improve the cognitive performance as well as activities of daily living, but only in patients with mild to moderate forms of AD and only short-term (from 9-12 months to 5 years). (1)
- NMDA antagonist treatment, which have been documented to have a small positive effect on cognitive performances and the ability to perform daily activities only in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. (2)
Since these compounds do not manage to fill the clinical gap, a number of other drug therapies for AD are being researched and some are currently prescribed including nicotine, melatonin, oestrogens and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), the latter being an option soon abandoned, since patients suffered from withdrawal syndrome as a re
sult of gastrointestinal toxicity. (3, 4)
Research has shown the involvement of cannabinoids on the major issues involving AD; their neuroprotective, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have been shown to have a myriad of effects on the symptoms, halting and reversing this debilitating disease. (5)
We discussed the role of cannabinoids for the treatment of this health condition in more depth here: Alzheimer’s Disease & Cannabis
Using Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors
One of the earliest changes in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) progression is loss of the activity of an enzyme (Acetylcholinetransferase) in the cortex and hippocampus, areas deputed to decision making and learning/memory. This enzyme catalyses the synthesis of Acetylcholine from its substrates (choline + Acetyl-CoA). Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter in the Nervous System. This event contributes substantially to the characteristics cognitive symptoms.
Cholinesterase inhibitors (AChE inhibitors) are designed to combat impairment of cholinergic neurons by slowing degradation of Acetylcholine after its release at synapses. However, as AD progresses, these medications lose effectiveness, since they have been shown to not change the natural course of the disease, but only temporarily delay neurodegeneration. (6)
Donezepil (Aricept, 1996), Rivastigmine (Exelon, 2000), Galantamine (Reminyl/Razadyne 2001) are the AChE inhibitors mostly prescribed in the clinics.
Donepezil and Galantamine have also been documented to inhibit NO-induced cytotoxicity (via production of radicals and mitochondrial dysfunction) and counteract neuronal cell death (7), which may have contributed to their initial treatment success.
Side effects of Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors
Their most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, increased bowel movements, dizziness and muscle cramping.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor about integrating the natural remedies suggested along with your medication.

|Dizziness/Fatigue||Ginkgo Biloba / Ginger / Raw cannabis (limonene)|
|Muscle cramping||Raw cannabis (myrcene) / Bananas & Beans|
|Insomnia||Lavender / Ginkgo Biloba|
Using N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists
Memantine (1968) works by blocking the NMDAR channels, and is classified as an ‘open channel blocker’ because it can enter the channel and block current flow only after such channels have opened (receptor activation). The NMDAR channels are responsible for controlling synaptic plasticity and memory function.
After memantine blocks NMDARs, the channels close and agonists unbind, ‘trapping’ memantine inside the channel, which prevents the prolonged influx of Ca2+ ions, particularly from extrasynaptic receptors, which forms the basis of neuronal excitotoxicity, an hallmark of neurodegeneration. (8)
What are NMDA antagonists side effects?
Memantine is generally well tolerated, however some side effects can occur. The most common are constipation, dizziness, headache.

Natural remedies for Alzheimer’s medication
Raw cannabis for controlling cholinergic side effects
Juicing leafs & flowers of hemp (Cannabis) is one of the best ways to treat cholinergic side effects. The juice is devoid of centrally-mediated effects thanks to the abundance of cannabinoid acids such as CBDA & THCA and is therefore safe to intake without any psycho-activity involved. You can find out more on cannabis juicing in this article.
Nausea and vomiting
CBD, THCA and CBDA in particular, make this unusual vegetable a valuable antiemetic, as it has been shown in studies testing these nutrients both for anticipatory nausea as well as chemotherapy-induced vomiting. (14,15)
Fatigue, confusion, anxiety & depression
Stress and negative emotions can directly affect the motor and sensory cortex in the brain, resulting in fatigue and pain. Limonene improves neuroendocrine functions, mediating changes in the adrenal glands & an increase in serotonin (a neurotransmitter that regulates mood) in the prefrontal cortex, as well as an increase in dopamine (a neurotransmitter that contributes to feeling of reward) in the hippocampus. (17,18) Read more on the relationship between emotions and chronic fatigue here.
Raw cannabis reportedly increases energy levels in cancer & chronically fatigued patients; We recommend selecting a chemovar of hemp (CBDA-rich) high in terpene limonene, or adding this essential oil to a diffuser in your room.
Limonene & CBDA both found in fresh hemp juices have potent activity at serotoninergic receptors 1A. Compounds acting at these receptors have shown to suppress anxiety in animals. The serotoninergic receptors 1A are targeted either directly or indirectly by all major antidepressant drugs (TCI, SSRI, MAOI). Similarly, CBD is used for its well-established anxyolitic properties. (30)
Pain, muscle cramping and diarrhoea
If you are experiencing pain and muscle cramping, slow juicing cannabis plants rich in terpene myrcene will improve the muscle relaxant & analgesic properties of THCA. (19) Similarly, daily consumption of this juice may help balancing intestinal movements by the smooth-muscle relaxant properties of cannabinoids.
The digestive tract contains cannabinoid receptors; Activating cannabinoid receptors has been demonstrated to inhibit gastrointestinal fluid secretion and inflammation in animal models and to calm colon spasms, pain, and improving motility, effectively aiding gastrointestinal disorders. (32)
Caution to drink raw cannabis if you are taking any blood-thinning drugs; Like most leafy greens raw cannabis contains high amounts of Vitamin K, which can prevent the liver from metabolising such drugs.
Raw cannabis: how to?
– If you have fresh hemp:
Even if they were grown organically, if the cannabis plants received any kind of phytosanitary treatment (insecticides, fungicides, acaricides…) they are not suitable for making cannabis juice.
Before extracting the juice, it is recommended to clean the material and soak the leaves in cold water for 5 minutes.
In a slow juicer, blend freshly picked hemp leaves and flowers and mix with other fruits adjusting to your taste (apples, carrots, lemon & ginger tastes great but pick any combination based on your choice of local fresh organic produce).
For best results, keep the juice in a glass container away from light and consume throughout the day. Raw cannabis, not rinsed, should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer in bags that extend the freshness of vegetables.
Purchase raw CBD extract (not decarboxylated) from an organic producer and check that CBDa is contained along with the essential oils. Start dosing slow and once you find the quantity that works for managing your nausea, do not increase unless ineffective.
CBD have bi-phasic effects and its antiemetic effect follows a bell-shape pattern, meaning that at too high doses its effectiveness is blunted. CBDA has a wider concentration range & greater potency than CBD in suppressing acute nausea & vomiting, as shown from studies. (20)
Ginger for controlling side effects of medication
Ginger, or Zingiber officinale, has a long history of medicinal use dating back 2500 years. It’s a traditional remedy for stomach problems, nausea, fever, coughs and diarrhoea. Its latin name is also used for the main fragrance (or terpene) that gives the characteristic smell to ginger, Zingiberene.
Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of ginger extract (mainly consisting of essential oil) against cold and flu, morning and motion sickness and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. (9, 12)
Ginger is also known to relieve dizziness and vertigo thanks to its effects which stimulate circulation, and may help reduce high blood pressure, a possible cause of dizziness. (13)
Thus, do not combine large doses of ginger with anticoagulant drugs.
Ginger: how to use it?
Drink ginger tea, or extract its juice and use it to dress raw and cooked food, or drink ginger’s juice as a tonic for treatment of nausea and diarrhoea.
Check out this pumpkin curry recipe for other ideas on how to include ginger in your daily staples.
Eating soluble fibre to regulate GI tract motility
You have probably heard that grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits are rich in this type of fibre: soluble fibre.
Studies have compared daily use of dietary fibre in patients with chronic constipation vs placebo, resulting in significant improvements in global symptoms (86.5% vs. 47.4%), straining (55.6% vs. 28.6%), pain on defecation, and stool consistency, an increase in the mean number of stools per week (3.8 stools per week after therapy compared with 2.9 stools per week at baseline), and a reduction in the number of days between stools. (26)
It may seem counteractive to eat plenty of these foods to treat diarrhoea, as you know that they aid guarding against constipation. However, studies have demonstrated how foods such as oatmeal, nuts, beans, apples, and blueberries reduced significantly the water content of faeces. Soluble fibre soaks up water as it passes through the system, helping stools to bulk up, decreasing frequency of daily bowel movements, as demonstrated in trials conducted on elderly patients suffering from diarrhoea. (16)
Soluble fibre: how to?
Soak overnight 1-2 teaspoons of linseed (flaxseed) in half a glass of water. In the morning drink the gel formed, as it is rich in water-soluble fibres (called mucilage) which will greatly help your intestine to absorb nutrients, balancing your bowel movements. You can also use soaked linseed as a substitute for eggs, as it does significantly reduce levels of LDL Cholesterol over time. (27)

Bananas & beans to reduce muscle cramping
Both these foods provide insoluble fibre; Additionally, bananas supply potassium, which boosts muscular function and protects the nervous system, whilst beans and legumes provide magnesium which enhances muscle contraction and prevents muscle cramps.
How to use?
Get creative with your cooking, you can take inspiration from this legumes-based lasagne or include these ingredients in your favourite dishes.
Hemp & Chia seeds vs wasting, pain & aggressiveness
Wasting & lack of appetite
Cannabis or hemp seeds contain all essential amino acids & highly digestible proteins, which are readily absorbed & increase energy levels. Moreover, 80% of total fat composition is made up of the anti-inflammatory PUFA Omega 6:3 in ratio 3:1. Alternatively, also chia or flax seeds might be used to provide a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. (23) Studies show that anorexia is ameliorated using omega-3 fatty acids, probably due to the function of these fatty molecules to modulate up-regulation of hypothalamic orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY), balancing appetite levels. (22)
ω-3 PUFAs are also extensively used as an effective adjunctive treatment for joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and dysmenorrhea, as shown by 17 randomized, controlled trials assessing the pain relieving effects of ω-3 PUFAs. (28)
Anxiety & anger
Studies indicate a strong correlation between an increase in plasma Omega-3 and lower anxiety & anger scores; the study lasted 3 months of daily intake of 3g of Omega-3 fatty acids vs placebo. (31)
Hemp & Chia seeds: how to use?
Add hemp seeds to smoothies, salads or bakeries. We recommend to check this hemp sauce: Anti-inflammatory pesto. You can also sprout them for added benefits. I suggest you to watch our video on sprouting hemp seeds here. Check here for 10 reasons to eat hemp sprouts.
Ginkgo Biloba helps relieve side effects
Ginkgo biloba is a tall tree native to China. Ginkgo contains antioxidant flavonoids and terpenes.
The terpenes in ginkgo are associated with increasing circulation to the brain, which cause an increase of oxygen supply to the brain, making Ginkgo biloba’s abilities to help vertigo so well documented that researchers use it to test the efficacy of other vertigo treatments.
Due to its ability to improve blood circulation, several studies have shown beneficial effects in the treatment of cerebral insufficiency, poor memory and concentration, insomnia & in treating dizziness, (even related to vestibular dysfunction, a balance problem originating in the inner ear). (21)
How to use Ginkgo Biloba?
The dosage used in studies for vertigo was 120 mg/day of ginkgo biloba extract standardized to 24 % flavones and 6 % terpene lactones, taken for 3 months.
Caution: Ginkgo may need to be taken for 8 to 12 weeks before effects are noticed. Allergic reactions to ginkgo have been reported.
Do not combine ginkgo with anticoagulant medicine. Consult your doctor before using ginkgo biloba. If you are pregnant or breast feeding, or have a vitamin K deficiency, don’t take ginkgo biloba.
Lavender for sleep disturbances & anxiety
Studies on women suffering with insomnia and depression have shown that subjects exposed to lavender fragrance vs placebo experienced beneficial effects, with improvements in length of time taken to fall asleep, severity of insomnia, and self satisfaction with sleep between 60% and 100%. (25)
The essential oil of lavander contains Linalool, a terpene with well-established anxiolytic activity. You can read more about this terpene here:“What if your psychiatrist prescribed a trip in the forest vs antidepressants?”
A Korean study on elderly with dementia showed that a lavender aromatherapy hand massage program is effective on emotions and aggressive behaviour of elderly with dementia of the Alzheimer’s type. (29)
How to use lavender?
Use organic dried lavender flowers to brew your own evening tea.
For higher concentrations use a dietary essential oil (without additives and from controlled source) in your food (1 drop is sufficient for 100 ml of water) or diffuse 6-7 drops in your room.
Alternatively dilute 1-2 drops of essential oil with 100 ml of carrier oil (eg. coconut oil) to use topically for a calming massage. As shown from the trial cited above, the massage doesn’t have to be anything complicated: just a simple hand massage worked efficiently.

Former Rangers and Chelsea scout accused of child abuse dies
Harry Dunn, 84, had also previously scouted for Chelsea, but was named in March after a UK-wide scandal over the abuse of children by football coaches.
He had earlier this year appeared in private at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in connection with alleged sexual offences in the 1980s.
He was then committed for further examination and released on bail.
A Crown Office spokesman said, following his death, proceedings are now at an end.

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 19, 2015
The Division of Nephrology of The Mount Sinai Health System has marked the opening of the Mount Sinai Kidney Center at East River Plaza with a formal ribbon cutting, which took place on Wednesday, August 12.
The new facility, located at 117th Street in East Harlem, will provide dialysis treatment with fully modern equipment. Adjacent to the FDR Drive and close to the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, the Center is easily accessible public transportation, and replaces The Mount Sinai Hospital’s dialysis clinic which was located on East 94th Street.
“As a part of the Mount Sinai Health System, the Mount Sinai Kidney Center at East River Plaza has all the support of the system’s seven hospitals, physicians and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai,” explained John Cijiang He, MD, PhD, the Irene and Dr. Arthur M. Fishberg Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Nephrology in the Department of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
The Center is fully integrated with other departments and divisions from throughout the health system, including the Department of Surgery, the Department of Radiology, and the Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Program at Mount Sinai’s Recanati/Miller Transplant Institute. “This allows us to provide integrated care and services to our patients,” Dr. He added.
“The unit will offer a complete range of services to patients, including peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis and in-center hemodialysis,” said Vijay Lapsia, MD, Medical Director of the Mount Sinai Kidney Center at East River Plaza and Assistant Professor of Medicine and Nephrology at the Icahn School of Medicine. Additionally, space has been allocated for an interventional suite to perform radiological procedures on-site.
“Patients also benefit from easy parking and ambulette drop off near the unit entrance, sheltered outdoor space, and serene clinical treatment areas with large screen flat panel televisions, new, comfortable dialysis chairs, and improved waiting facilities,” Dr. Lapsia added. The unit will also be able to accommodate the needs of stretcher patients and will continue to offer convenient hours. An experienced team of nephrologists, nurses, dietitians and social workers will provide expert care.”
The Mount Sinai Kidney Center at East River Plaza’s location, in a large commercial center with nearby services for patients and families, was chosen for its convenience for patients based in Manhattan, the other boroughs, or the greater metropolitan area. The East River Plaza is home to numerous restaurants and shops. Patients can shop before and after appointments, as can family members or care takers during dialysis procedures.
“The treatment for chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be time-consuming and exhausting,” said Dr. Lapsia. “With the Mount Sinai Kidney Center at East River Plaza’s easy to reach site, and the many nearby shops, services and facilities, we hope to make the trips for dialysis less of a burden or an inconvenience.”
“Since 1947, when the first hemodialysis in the United States was conducted at Mount Sinai, faculty from the Mount Sinai Division of Nephrology have been leading the care of renal disease patients in the New York City region,” said Barbara Murphy, MD, Irene and Dr. Arthur M. Fishberg Professor of Medicine and Chair of the Department of Medicine at the Mount Sinai Health System. “The opening of the new Mount Sinai Kidney Center at East River Plaza represents the next stage for the dialysis program at Mount Sinai, which is the only hospital-operated outpatient dialysis program in Manhattan,” said Dr. Murphy, a world-renown transplant nephrologist. In addition, the Mount Sinai Health System remains the largest provider for peritoneal dialysis in New York City.

Talking Cultural Economics in Kraków
How do you quantify the value you get from going to an art exhibit or theatre performance? What aspects of our environment influence our cultural preferences? How does a society accrue and maintain their cultural capital? None of these questions can have objective statistical answers. Yet, cultural economists continue to fascinate us through their ability to approach culture, a concept at the same time materialistic and non-materialistic, through an economically rigid perspective.
For the last few days, we’ve had the pleasure to attend the Eight European Workshop on Applied Cultural Economics (EWACE), hosted by the Association of Cultural Economics International (ACEI) and the Cracow University of Economics (special thanks to the wonderful host Prof. Murzyn-Kupisz!). We presented our working paper “Cultural Differences Affect Voluntary Payment Decisions” during the session on “funding”, alongside great papers on crowd-funding mechanisms in small-size French art museums and on the long-term crowding in effect of free museum admissions days on overall attendance. Other interesting topics ranged all over the macro/micro spectrum, from how the amount we are required to read at work negatively affects how much we read for leisure, to the influence of cultural distance on trade volumes between two nations, all the way to the importance of writers’ network clusters in the development of 19th century Germany.
In our paper, we attempt to explain the cross country differences in the size of the pay-what-you-want (PWYW) payments through the prism of culture. Using the data gathered from tourists attending a walking tour of Warsaw with a PWYW format (see our post from last year), we check whether cultural dimensions defined by Geert Hofstede (1984, updated last in 2015) can explain the differences in the amounts individuals decided to pay for the tour. Our results show that societies with lower acceptance of unequal power distribution (power distance) and with higher tolerance for unorthodox or unusual behavior and ideas (uncertainty avoidance) made, on average, higher payments. These findings can be explained rationally. For example, individuals coming from countries with higher uncertainty avoidance scores are said to be less open to unorthodox ideas, such as the concept of a PWYW walking tour, while societies with lower power distance place lower importance on hierarchical status and view the tour guides as equal, thus compensating them as they would wish to be compensated. Our paper adds a cross-cultural dimension to the literature on PWYW payments.
We are very thankful for the constructive comments we received from our discussant, Prof. Trine Bille (Copenhagen Business School), as well as attendees of our session, particularly, Prof. John O’Hagan (Trinity College Dublin) and Prof. Concetta Castiglione (University of Bologna). An updated version of the working paper will be presented at the North American Cultural Economics Workshop in Montreal this autumn. The slides from our presentation are attached below. | <urn:uuid:90bb5e0f-ed1c-4bb9-a402-40ffc5cfcc3b> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | http://grape.org.pl/event/talking-cultural-economics-krak%C3%B3w | 2019-09-18T05:15:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573184.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20190918044831-20190918070831-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.916041 | 620 |

The LIBOR rigging scandal was the story of the last week, but this tale has some surprising parallels with the demise of Rangers. Of course the original crimes were very different, but both their supporters cited the 'greater good', as arguments for the continuation of the status quo. Why have justice if it ultimately makes everyone worse off? In the case of Barclays, Mr. Diamond was seen as one of the country's brightest banking leaders; his resignation would cause even more damage to the bank. In the case of Rangers, the other clubs in Scotland are reliant on the income that Rangers generate; banishing them would send the whole league into financial uncertainty.
Given the perpetual murmerings surrounding the depraved intellectual nature of British society, it was pleasing to see essentially Platonic arguments at the core of these debates. In Plato's 'Form of the Good', the just is the good. Intriguingly, some of the counter arguments adhere to this debate. What if justice not being served would effect the good? For Mr. Diamond this argument won out, he resigned because did not want to further tarnish the reputation of the bank. This debate still rages on inside Scottish football, be it the SPL or SFL. Letting Rangers back into the SPL, would benefit all the clubs, but would tarnish the 'sporting integrity' of the league. That in itself would harm the product of the game. Moreover, fans have threatened mass boycotts, a strategy which could surpass the financial harm that Rangers relegation will cause.
For now, it seems if SPL chairman have been convinced by the latter argument. Division 1 or Division 3 is the new choice. Whichever league Rangers are to play in, the club and its fans care about the reputation of the oldco. Despite being liquidated, the history of that club will be the new battleground of the Rangers debate. Its history will not be shaped by its fans, the SFA or even a higher footballing authority, but HMRC.
Hypothetically, were Rangers to lose the Big Tax Case (BTC), then a number of other sanctions could come into effect. The main problem for Rangers is that every single SPL player must have their full contract registered with the governing body. If any part of that contract is not known to these governing bodies, then a player is improperly registered. If Rangers were to lose the BTC, it would confirm that their players had second contracts (in the form of an Employee Benefit Trust) which were unknown to the SFA. Hence many of their players from 2001-2010 were improperly registered, and the established punishment of a 3-0 loss in each game in which such players have played. In turn, that will prompt questions over the legitimacy of the trophies won. Some will say enough has been done to punish Rangers, some will say history is in the minds of the fans, but If the BTC is lost, this point will certainly be debated.
Supporters of Celtic, Hearts, Dundee United and co will lead serious pressure for such trophy reallocation. In particular, this reallocation will give Celtic the chance to be only one behind Rangers in the all-time Scottish Premier League Titles. Surpassing this would be akin to Manchester United passing Liverpool's haul of titles. It's a record which gains greater significance as the chances to surpass it increase. Any title reallocation due to player ineligibility hinges on HMRC. Ultimately, the tax tribunal is best placed to judge if these were second contracts not the Scottish footballing authorities.
Whether this is the good, right or just outcome is a different matter. Perhaps out of all this uncertainty, one fact can be stated in complete confidence: the next few months will shape the landscape of Scottish football for decades to come. | <urn:uuid:5777ebdc-befe-4a01-9748-0a37a6713dec> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/ally-livingston/diamond-plato-and-the-dem_b_1663124.html | 2018-03-19T19:18:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647044.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319175337-20180319195337-00513.warc.gz | en | 0.970818 | 767 |
Top hotels are adding a new amenity for their clients: libraries.
The move is intended to keep patrons in the bars and lobbies longer. Books are being stocked in central areas, dedicated suites and even reading rooms. The cozy feel and the availability of their favorite authors helps them connect with younger patrons, who want a community feeling even while away from home.
Country Inns and Suites, with 447 hotels across the nation, now has an exclusive deal with Penguin Random to stock their authors.
If you’re a local author, don’t downplay the importance of that with your local hotels. If any are stocking books, stop in and place a few copies with the manager yourself.

“We are still buying diesel at RM1.25 per litre and we will not be able to afford a decent living if there is an increase.
“We are already spending up to RM600 sometimes RM800 a day for the diesel when we are out at sea for nine hours,” Ismail said."If this claim is true, there is something really fishy about the diesel consumption. A quick calculation shows that their vessel consume a whooping 53 litres (600/1.25/9) of diesel per hour, ie, almost a litre a minute. If I am not wrong, that is how much a Boeing 747 jet plane consume!
The government subsides 10,000 litres a month per licensee, ie, 333 litres per day! To me this is a lot of diesel. If these licensees are operating many vessels each, they must be very profitable. Just check the prices of fish in the market. The prices are shocking! I will be travelling overseas next month and I shall compare the prices. | <urn:uuid:7531a984-28b7-411d-af65-f19791b1ee94> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://williamtingcl.blogspot.com/2011/06/do-you-believe-them.html | 2017-04-24T05:31:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917119080.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031159-00274-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.92235 | 212 |
