Jharkhand became a full-fledged state in November 2000. There has been a long and sustained struggle for statehood for many years in the region. There are many activists, people’s organisations and social action groups in most of the districts in the state. Many of these organisations, activists, social action groups and individuals came together and formed Swaraj in 1998.
Judav is the partner organisation through which funds are routed to the state. There are 6 fellows working in the state unit and 3 in the Damodar consortium (located in the state). All the fellows have been actively associated with mass movements and the Jharkhand struggle for statehood. The JP movement has also inspired many of them.
PSP Processes in Jharkhand
Activists and Jharkhand have been organising themselves and struggling for Self-Rule and their rights over water, forests and land. It appeared that the Jharkhand Struggle and PSP are based on similar values of humanity and rights of the poor. In fact, PSP is enhancing the capacity of the people and is helping leadership for the struggle for self-rule and that of women to emerge. Hence SJ-Jharkhand adopted PSP.
Eleven organisations working in seven districts participated in the PSP process. In two training programmes 17 facilitators of these organisations capacitated 114 village level facilitators. Eighteen of them were women. The PSP process was undertaken in 48 villages comprising 2,500 families. The following issues were identified by the PS process-
|CRITICAL ISSUES||STRATEGIC ISSUES|
2. Child Labour
6. Lack of Cottage Industries
7. Lack of Drinking Water
8. Lack of Herbal Medicine
9. Lack of self-rule
11. New Economic Policy
13. River Pollution
14. Shortage of Traditional Seeds
17. Cultural Deterioration
21. Gender Issues
22. Lack of Cottage Industry
23. Lack of self-rule
24. New Economic Policy
26. River Pollution
1. Realisation of People’s Rights
2. Self-Rule for the rights over land, water and forests for sustainable development.
3. Promotion of Gender Equality.
4. Struggles Against Fundamentalism.
5. Action against Alcoholism.
6. Campaign for Economic Literacy and alternative Education.

ERIC promotes healthy social and emotional development in all young people by cultivating helpful emotion regulation and impulse control skills.
ERIC stands for Emotion Regulation, Impulse Control. ERIC is an evidence-based, psychological intervention that assists adolescents and young adults in developing skills to better regulate their emotions and manage impulsivity. Emotion regulation and impulse control are two areas associated with healthy emotional development and good mental health and wellbeing. ERIC is modular, meaning that it is designed to be delivered flexibly, depending on the specific needs of the young person.
ERIC was designed for young people aged 16 to 25 with particular vulnerability and complex mental health needs, such as those with multi-comorbidity (i.e., multiple simultaneous mental health diagnoses) and facing psychosocial difficulties. ERIC was co-designed and has been piloted with young people seeking treatment in alcohol and other drug (AOD), mental health, youth justice, out-of-home residential, and primary care settings. As part of the ERIC Worldview, ERIC is designed to be trauma-informed and accessible.
However, it is our belief (and research suggests) that ERIC skills could be useful for any young person, regardless of their mental health circumstances.
Any adult who is working with a young person in an established trusting, therapeutic relationship can deliver ERIC. ERIC has been piloted with youth workers, social workers, case managers, psychologists, and practitioners from AOD, mental health, youth justice, community health, and educational settings.
The ERIC resources and clinical tools can be accessed by purchasing a 12 month licence through the MEMBERS LOGIN page. The cost for a licence is $75 AUD + GST. Once payment is made, please allow up to 48 hours for your account to be created. This account will be active for 12 months, after which time there will be the option to renew. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about purchasing an ERIC licence.

Whatever hopes the Maryland Terrapins had of appearing in the AP top 25 Poll at some point this season were likely dashed with their loss to the Florida St. Seminoles on Saturday.
The Terps had been receiving a few votes, but were still on the outside looking in; and that when they still had an outside shot at making the ACC Championship game. Now that that isn't a possibility, the Terps have likely dropped out of the top 25 picture for good.
As for those Seminoles, they are one of three teams from the ACC to appear in the latest version of the AP Poll. Virginia Tech is the class of the Conference, coming in at 13th after clinching their spot in the ACC Title game this weekend. The two teams that still have a shot at the other bid, North Carolina St. and Florida St., are ranked back to back at 21st and 22nd respectively. | <urn:uuid:a0a63c3c-3fbd-4f4d-9671-7855f6607f3a> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 832 |
The National Advisory General Medical Sciences Council has requested, through its Large Grants Working Group, that assessments be done of each of the large grant programs of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). The Council will use these assessments as it advises NIGMS on the goals and strategic management of its large grants programs.
The first of these assessments, an examination of the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI), was carried out by a panel of scientists that solicited input from the scientific community and other interested parties in June-July 2007 and met on the NIH campus on September 24, 2007. The panel issued a report to the NIGMS Director in December 2007 and the report was presented to the Council at its January 2008 meeting.

Robert Woods felt as if he was in sync with quarterback Matt Barkley during a record-setting, 17-reception performance in USC's season opening victory over Minnesota. Afterward, he also felt sore. "That was like three games of catches," he said Wednesday. "Three games of hits. " To preserve the sophomore receiver, USC Coach Lane Kiffin plans to rest Woods during Thursday practices. Woods does not favor the idea. He prefers being in the huddle as the Trojans prepare for Saturday's inaugural Pacific 12 Conference game against Utah at the Coliseum.

The Costco wholesale model changed the shopping landscape for consumers and businesses. Costco’s loyal members know the benefits of joining, but they might not know about the exclusive Costco Anywhere Visa Card by Citi that gives members even more ways to save in the store — as well as lucrative rewards and cash back.
Not every member is eligible for the Costco Visa card, but for those who are qualified, a Citi Costco credit card can generate even more savings. This might be one of the best store credit cards available for wholesale club members.
How to Get a Costco Credit Card
There are a few ways to sign up for Costco’s exclusive Visa credit card — and a few things you should know before you apply. The process, however, is fairly simple and straightforward no matter how you file your application. Here’s what to do:
1. Sign Up for a Costco Membership
The Costco Anywhere Visa card is available only to Costco members. Membership costs either $60 or $120 per year, depending on whether you buy a traditional or executive membership. Both businesses and individuals can become members and you can join online or by visiting your local Costco.
2. Explore the Costco Card Benefits
The Costco Anywhere Visa card offers good perks and a “4,3,2,1” benefits structure. Here’s what you’ll get for shopping with the card:
- 4 percent back on eligible gas purchases, including Costco gas
- 3 percent back on restaurants and eligible travel
- 2 percent back on all other Costco purchases both in stores and online
- 1 percent back on all other purchases
The card has no annual fee and you’ll get an introductory, 0 percent interest rate for the first seven months of your Costco credit card payment cycles. After that, however, the variable APR will be 16.24 percent.
3. Choose a Business or Personal Costco Card
Although they both have similar benefits and structures, Citi issues one Costco Anywhere card specifically for businesses and another for individuals. And each card features important differences.
Businesses, for example, can authorize certain officers to use the card. The APR for cash advances is higher for the personal card, but the cash advance fee is the same for both, as are the foreign transaction and variable penalty fees.

4. Apply for Your Costco Credit Card
You can complete the application process — which includes a credit check and requires applicants to submit income information — online, over the phone or in a Costco store. To apply online, do this:
- Have your Costco membership card ready so you can add it to the application.
- Visit the Costco website and select “Next Step” for either a business or personal card, which will take you to the appropriate application.
- Fill out all of the information, then read and check the box that says you’ve read the “Terms and Conditions” statement.
- If your application is approved, you can expect your new card to arrive in the mail within seven to 10 business days.
If you’re applying for a business card, be prepared to submit information that includes your business address, phone number, tax ID, tax structure and revenue and number of employees. If you prefer to apply over the phone, call 800-970-3019 and just follow the prompts. In addition, you can always visit your nearest Costco and fill out an application, but you won’t get a decision as quickly as online or over the phone.
Costco members can apply for the exclusive Costco Anywhere Visa card and save even more money. When you use it in conjunction with Costco’s already low prices and membership benefits, you can save on Costco merchandise in addition to gas, travel, dining and everyday purchases. | <urn:uuid:31a867eb-0576-4992-8030-0c109d4d357e> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,687 |
Bank of America Corp: Why Investors Shouldn’t Ignore BAC Stock
Upside for BAC Stock?
Over the last month, shares of Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) stock have risen 20%. The question to ask going forward is: “Will there more upside going forward, or are all the positive catalysts built into the stock price?”
Bank of America is one of the largest banks in the world, operating in all aspects of the financial services segment. It currently has approximately $1.23 trillion in deposit balances. (Source: “Bank Of America Reports Third-Quarter 2016,” Bank Of America Corp., October 17, 2016)
With a large client base, Bank of America’s main focus may serving its customers, but shareholders certainly aren’t neglected. The current dividend yield is 1.49%, based on the current trading price of $20.16. The next dividend payment for BAC stock is scheduled for December 31, 2016, in which $0.075 will be paid out. The dividend growth rate over the past three years has been 650%.
But that’s not all. In June of this year, the board of directors approved a $5.0-billion share buyback. According to Bank of America’s third-quarter earnings; $1.4 billion worth of shares had already been repurchased. For shareholders, this means that their ownership of the entire company increased. (Source: “Bank of America to Increase Quarterly Common Stock Dividend by 50 Percent to $0.075 per Share; Authorizes $5 Billion Common Stock Repurchase Plan,” Bank of America Corp, June 29, 2016.)
Expansion of Profit Margins
In July of this year, the company shifted attention to its trust-preferred shares. The plan is to redeem $1.97 billion of the trust-preferred shares, with the interest rate offered on these investing vehicles being between six percent and 6.75%. (Source: “Bank of America Announces Redemption of $1.97 Billion of Trust Preferred Securities,” Bank of America Corp, July 13, 2016.)
Typically, BAC stockholders wouldn’t really focus on this; however, it is important for income and growth investors. That’s because with interest rates sitting at historic lows, Bank of America can buy these higher-interest-bearing products and re-offer the market a lower interest rate that is suitable in today’s marketplace. For shareholders, this means there is more cash flow coming into the business, and with it greater possibilities of further dividend hikes and share buybacks.
With interest rates sitting at their historic lows of 0.25% to 0.50%, it means there is plenty room for interest rates to increase. This directly affects Bank of America’s loan book, which includes retail and commercial loans, such as lines of credits and mortgages. Many of these products have variable rates, so when interest rates do increase, it means that the loans rate would increase as well.
In order for Bank of America to provide a loan, it must take in money from another customer that wants to park money in the bank and earn interest as a saver. The difference between the saving rate and the one that is lent out is known as the net interest margin and is reflected in revenue. As interest rates increase, the net interest margins will rise as well, translating into more profit for the bank.
Going by the third-quarter earnings results, Bank of America is preparing for interest rate hikes in the future. Its loan book increased by $23.0 billion when compared to the previous year. This is exactly what investors want in a company; that it is looking towards the future and preparing for changes, rather than reacting and missing out on opportunities as a result. (Source: “Bank of America Reports Q3-16 Net Income of $5.0 Billion, EPS of $0.41,” Bank Of America Corp, last accessed November 16, 2016.)
Final Thoughts on BAC Stock
Even though shares have moved 20% over the last month, BAC stock is still cheap on a valuation basis. The price-earnings (P/E) ratio for BAC stock is 13.75 times, which is much cheaper than the S&P 500’s P/E ratio of 25.09 times. The dividend is not a huge yield, but the dividend growth and potential future drivers could make Bank of America Corp a higher-dividend stock one day. | <urn:uuid:7ddb257e-5769-42c4-9295-9dfa038839ea> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,096 |

Things haven’t been going that well lately for EliteXC. After a predicted ratings bomb for their latest show on CBS this past weekend became a reality, the UFC and Spike TV, which ran a replay of UFC 84: Ill Will on Saturday night to counter-program the event, have decided to rub their success in a key demographic in EliteXC’s face through a press release sent out to the media earlier today.
As you can see, they didn’t hesitate to essentially pants EliteXC in front of everyone at the mall: (Yeah, that happened to me before, so what?)
Need proof the UFC is the preeminent mixed martial arts brand in the world? On Saturday, July 26, more men 18-34 watched a repeat…a repeat…of a UFC event on Spike TV than a LIVE telecast of a Pro EliteXC championship card on CBS. Despite being available in over 17 million
less (you can pay me for my editing skills later Dana) homes, Spike TV drew 27% more Men 18-34 for a re-broadcast of “UFC 84: Penn vs. Sherk” from (9:00-12:00am ET/PT) than CBS’s live show (9:00-11:00pm). Spike TV’s telecast tallied 433,000 Men 18-34 to CBS’s 341,000.
Oh snap! Talk about a press release with an attitude. Guess what? It gets even better:
Reminiscent of the XFL’s rating collapse years ago, the CBS telecast was 69% lower in Men 18-34 and 57% lower with Men 18-49 than its initial broadcast on CBS in May featuring the “He Hate Me” of MMA, Kimbo Slice.
Uh oh! Comparing EliteXC to the XFL? That’s harsh man. Even worse was the dig at Slice though. You could score one for the cable guys or you could just do the math and make fun of the UFC and Spike, realizing that sending out this release doesn’t make much sense, considering they really didn’t beat EliteXC in terms of ratings, kinda. That and Spike and CBS are both owned by Viacom.
While EliteXC has yet to respond to the release, they did announce something else today in the form of the respective resignations of Gary Shaw and Doug DeLuca via a filing with the SEC that our friend Sam found.
While they did indeed step down from their positions, they will still be involved with the company as consultants. Shaw’s demise with ProElite was rumored for a while now. DeLuca temporarily became the public face of the promotion while Shaw went back to concentrating on boxing but it seemed that Jeremy Lappen at taken over for DeLuca in recent weeks. In any event, DeLuca will be replaced as Chairman and CEO by Charles Champion, a former online betting website creator.

We're Miami's premier Hard Rock / Metal band. If you haven't guessed, we love rock and metal. We've been together for a bit, and we've accomplished a lot. We've toured the states, and we're blessed enough to open up for some of the biggest acts - Children of Bodom, Sid Wilson of Slipknot, Overkill, Non Point, Lacuna Coil, and Inner Circle to name a few. As you can see, we're kind of a big deal.
Our endgame is to make a living out of doing what we love, create beautiful music, travel the world, and hopefully inspire some people in the process. With us, you're not just fans. You're our family. Thanks for checking us out, and in case we don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
I'M THE GREATEST AT WHAT I DO.
The rest of the guys look up to me.
I'M THE BASSIST.
I'm so stressed out, I lost an eye.
MY FAVORITE SONG...
...Landslide by Green Day. I think the work they did on Thriller was their best. Eh.

The dilapidated structures and vacant lot at 325 Fremont have sat undeveloped for over a decade, and plans for a rather homely 22-story tower designed by Baum Thornley Architects at the site had been fully approved, but never came to fruition. A while back, we heard that Crescent Heights, the developers behind NEMA in Mid-Market and 45 Lansing under construction just up the hill, had acquired the fully entitled site. However, rather than move forward with the original design, Crescent Heights sent it it back to the drawing board. What's now in the works is a strikingly modern 250 foot 25-story residential tower designed by Handel Architects with 118 units, up from 70 in the previously approved iteration of the project. No word yet on when the new proposal will be approved or when construction is set to start. What do you say readers, is the new design an appropriate addition to rapidly changing Rincon Hill?

Manali, The Best Hill Station In India
Nestled in the Himalayan foothills, Manali is a hill station that is famous for its pristine ambience and carries significant religious importance. Tourists from all walks of life and from various countries flock this hill station in summer as well as in winter. Manali has a lot more to offer than just beautiful views and a scenic environment. It is famous for adventure sports such as mountaineering, paragliding, hiking, skiing and whitewater rafting. Furthermore, this Indian town is ideal for someone who has an inclination towards religion. Numerous Buddhist monasteries and Hindu temples give a divine aura to this place which is near the source of the Beas River. This town also offers many side trips to nearby tourist attractions and is a melting pot for people who enjoy quite treks in this valley. Also called as the Switzerland of India, this town has much to offer to tourists and pilgrims alike.
Getting There :
By Air : Manali is located in the northern corner of the Kullu valley in the state of Himachal Pradesh. The nearest airport is Bhuntar which is a small town located about thirty miles from Manali. Flights are available from Delhi as well as Chandigarh; however the prices are higher as there are fewer passengers and the planes are smaller. It’s advisable not to carry too much luggage if you fly to the place since only a limited amount of baggage is allowed on the airplane. Also be ready for unexpected delays in winter and Monsoon due to the weather conditions.
By road : The town is connected to Delhi, Chandigarh, Dharamsala, and Leh and it takes around eighteen hours to reach Manali from Delhi. Although this is a frugal option, it can be uncomfortable as a complete day is spent in getting there and not recommended for people who are visiting India for the first time. Taxis are also available from Delhi and are a little expensive compared to buses; however make sure that you hire an experienced driver who has visited the hill station before.
By rail : The Town is connected by rail to two major cities; Chandigarh and Ambala Cantonment. However it is better to choose Chandigarh as your starting point since you will have to travel to Ambala first and it takes around ten hours by road from Delhi to Ambala. Traveling by rail in India is one of the best options if you want a comfortable as well as low-priced method of getting anywhere. Make sure that you book your tickets well in advance and choose the air conditioned coach as it not as overcrowded as other coaches.
Once you have reached this beautiful hill station, there are various options for local travel and you can choose among these depending on your budget, the season, and the duration of your stay. Many tourists hire a taxi for getting around the town and the usual charge can be anywhere from INR 1000 to INR 1500 ($20-$30) for a single day. If you are planning a short sojourn then this option is the best as you will not compromise on comfort and enjoy many tourist attractions in a single day. Another option is to hire a bike and the cost is approximately ten to fifteen dollars a day depending on the season. The local Indian government buses are not recommended as they are unreliable and not very frequent. Rickshaws are also another option but they are expensive and a little uncomfortable compared to taxi cabs.
The Rohtang pass is at an altitude of 3979 meters or 13,050 feet from the sea level and offers some breathtaking views. However, this pass is closed during winters because of heavy snow and is cold even in the summer months. The Pass is almost an hour’s drive from the hill station and it can take a complete day for you to reach the place and get back to Manali.
The Hidimba Devi Temple
This temple was built in the 1500’s and carries immense religious importance in Hinduism. This place holds significance in the Mahabharata Epic in which the exiled Pandavas were threatened and attacked by Hidimb who was a Raskhas (demon). A fight ensued between Bheema (one of the Pandavas) and Hidimb was killed in the battle. However, Bheema later married Hidimb’s sister Hidimba giving birth to a great warrior named Ghatotkach who had a pivotal role to play in Mahabharata. The temple is thronged by tourists and visitors and is unique since it is very old and is located in a cave.
Vashist Hot Water Springs
These are medicinal springs that are supposed to have a salubrious effect and are not far away from Manali itself. Located approximately one mile from the town, these springs are equipped with Turkish baths for the convenience of tourists. There are two temples dedicated to saint Vashist and the smaller one has beautiful and elaborate wood carvings. The temple tanks are the underground hot water springs that contain sulfur which gives the water medicinal properties.
There are many Tibetan monasteries in Manali and are worth seeing; some of the famous monasteries include the Thekchoking Gompa which is near ‘the mall’ and was constructed in 1969. The highest concentration of Buddhist monasteries is here in Manali and the Thekchoking Gompa also offers hand woven carpets which bring in some revenue to keep the monastery running. Another famous monastery is the Himalayan Nyingamapa Gompa which is smaller than Thekchoking Gompa but is beautiful, with flowers blooming around the place.
This place is thronged by tourists who are in search of adventure sports and some adrenalin. The valley offers various recreational activities to tingle your adrenal glands and is most visited during winter. Some of the adventure sports that can be enjoyed are skiing, paragliding, skating, and parachuting. However, some of these sports cannot be enjoyed in the summer but you can always go for Zorbing which is a sport in which two people are put inside a giant ball and rolled down a 200 meter hill.
This place is also known for its hot springs and is also a pilgrimage site for Hindus and Sikhs. The place has mythological importance and is a good place only if you are interested in visiting temples and other places of worship.
Old Manali is much more tranquil and peaceful compared to Manali town since the town is filled with honeymooners and families from all over India. It is crowded in the summer and is only good for making travel reservations or shopping. However old Manali is good for people who want the distinctive village atmosphere and charm rather than the hustle and bustle of the town. It is a good place for quiet morning walks and short treks. You can also enjoy the local wine in old Manali which costs around five dollars (American) a bottle.
Since Manali is a tourist attraction, there are numerous hotels ranging from the luxurious to small lodges for short and frugal stays. Some of the best hotels are The Picadily (the mall, city center), Hotel Manali Ashok (left bank aloe, Manali), Ambassador Resort (Sunny side, Chadiyari), and Holiday Inn (Prini, Manali). These are four star hotels that are located in the town; however more luxurious hotels can be found in the suburban areas of Manali.
Manali has a potpourri of delicacies and staple diets to offer and food from many cultures and countries has found its way into the local restaurants and eateries. The local food is similar to Indian food albeit the recipes are different. You can enjoy various Indian cuisines such as the Gujarati ‘Thali’ or even pamper your taste buds with Tibetan delights. The German bakery in Old Manali is one of the melting pots for foreigners and tourists who want fresh palatable baked goods. Apple orchards also dot the scenic landscape and fresh apples can be bought at a very low price. Avoid roadside eateries and seedy hotels if you are visiting India for the first time. However, the In-House restaurants of premium hotels are good places for foreigners who are particular about hygienic gastronomy.
Manali is a safe place for tourists; however caution is advised since this place is also the hub of Marijuana and Hashish smokers who can indulge in the vice since the plant grows like a weed here. Do not accept anything to smoke from a stranger and always keep your baggage sealed and visible. Drug smuggling is not uncommon in Manali and many peddlers come here to transport their contraband to other places in India and all over the world. Moreover, do not venture outside after midnight as it may not be safe since this is a sparsely populated hilly area. | <urn:uuid:d7ccc5b5-03e0-452e-ac84-d0587e8c13e9> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 8,447 |

The Flea, the Grasshopper, and the Frog once wanted to see which of them could jump the highest. They made a festival, and invited the whole world and every one else besides who liked to come and see the grand sight. Three famous jumpers they were, as all should say, when they met together in the room.
“I will give my daughter to him who shall jump highest,” said the King; “it would be too bad for you to have the jumping, and for us to offer no prize.”
The Flea was the first to come forward. He had most exquisite manners, and bowed to the company on every side; for he was of noble blood, and, besides, was accustomed to the society of man, and that, of course, had been an advantage to him.
Next came the Grasshopper. He was not quite so elegantly formed as the Flea, but he knew perfectly well how to conduct himself, and he wore the green uniform which belonged to him by right of birth. He said, moreover, that he came of a very ancient Egyptian family, and that in the house where he then lived he was much thought of.
The fact was that he had been just brought out of the fields and put in a card-house three stories high, and built on purpose for him, with the colored sides inwards, and doors and windows cut out of the Queen of Hearts. “And I sing so well,” said he, “that sixteen parlor-bred crickets, who have chirped from infancy and yet got no one to build them card-houses to live in, have fretted themselves thinner even than before, from sheer vexation on hearing me.”
It was thus that the Flea and the Grasshopper made the most of themselves, each thinking himself quite an equal match for the princess.
The Leapfrog said not a word; but people said that perhaps he thought the more; and the housedog who snuffed at him with his nose allowed that he was of good family. The old councilor, who had had three orders given him in vain for keeping quiet, asserted that the Leapfrog was a prophet, for that one could see on his back whether the coming winter was to be severe or mild, which is more than one can see on the back of the man who writes the almanac.
“I say nothing for the present,” exclaimed the King; “yet I have my own opinion, for I observe everything.”
And now the match began. The Flea jumped so high that no one could see what had become of him; and so they insisted that he had not jumped at all—which was disgraceful after all the fuss he had made.
The Grasshopper jumped only half as high; but he leaped into the King’s face, who was disgusted by his rudeness.
The Leapfrog stood for a long time, as if lost in thought; people began to think he would not jump at all.
“I’m afraid he is ill!” said the dog and he went to snuff at him again; when lo! he suddenly made a sideways jump into the lap of the princess, who sat close by on a little golden stool.
“There is nothing higher than my daughter,” said the King; “therefore to bound into her lap is the highest jump that can be made. Only one of good understanding would ever have thought of that. Thus the Frog has shown that he has sense. He has brains in his head, that he has.”
And so he won the princess.
“I jumped the highest, for all that,” said the Flea; “but it’s all the same to me. The princess may have the stiff-legged, slimy creature, if she likes. In this world merit seldom meets its reward. Dullness and heaviness win the day. I am too light and airy for a stupid world.”
And so the Flea went into foreign service.
The Grasshopper sat without on a green bank and reflected on the world and its ways; and he too said, “Yes, dullness and heaviness win the day; a fine exterior is what people care for nowadays.” And then he began to sing in his own peculiar way—and it is from his song that we have taken this little piece of history, which may very possibly be all untrue, although it does stand printed here in black and white. | <urn:uuid:a41bb335-ffed-48f1-9417-f81df514daf5> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,836 |
We became an ICAN partner organization
Iri and Toshi Maruki, who rushed to Hiroshima immediately after the atomic bombing, began painting the Hiroshima Panels and released the first panel in 1950. During the occupation of Japan by the Allied powers, when reporting on the atomic bombing was strictly prohibited, the panels played a crucial role in making known the hidden nuclear sufferings.
In the 1950s, at a time when people knew little about the atomic bombing, the Marukis traveled around Japan and abroad with the Hiroshima Panels to tell people about the damages caused by nuclear weapons and the lives taken by the atomic bombs.
Since the opening in 1967, the Maruki Gallery has carried on their mission through domestic and international exhibitions and events. We have also collected petitions for the Hibakusha Appeal in the gallery.
Tomorrow (January 22nd), the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons will enter into force. At the end of 2020, the Maruki Gallery became an ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) partner organization. Inheriting the wishes of the Marukis, we will play a role in promoting the treaty and contributing to the abolition of nuclear weapons. | <urn:uuid:5390d120-cbae-4fca-9ad5-3e6ec36650df> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,205 |

Most people might think of their high school biology class when they hear the term “symbiotic relationship.” But Cedarville University’s School of Education and Social Work is reframing the term with its latest initiative, Symbiotica.
Launched Wednesday, Sept. 6, the Symbiotica teaching and learning lab gives students who are majoring in middle childhood education the opportunity to use their education by offering instruction in a classroom setting on-campus for fifth- and sixth-grade homeschool students in the local community. The goal is to provide homeschooled students with instruction from future educators who will, in turn, be provided with valuable teaching opportunities.
Teaching will include the typical classes of a middle childhood student: mathematics, science, social studies and English Language Arts. Cedarville students will provide fully planned lessons and teach with their university faculty members present in the classroom.
“What’s so important is that we use methodologies that are appropriate to the classroom and engaging for these children instead of just having the teacher stand and lecture,” said Dr. Ruth Sylvester, professor of education and one of the two founders of Symbiotica. “We’re challenging them to teach in a more innovative, more engaging way.”
Dr. Lori Ferguson, assistant dean of the School of Education and assistant professor of education shares Sylvester’s vision for this endeavor. In 2020, they began envisioning ways to enhance the university students’ learning while also providing classroom instruction for interested homeschooled families.
This model features the students’ implementation of learning theory and pedagogy learned in their university classrooms. Then, the university students implement their knowledge in the Symbiotica classroom.
“We chose the name Symbiotica from the idea of a symbiotic relationship,“ said Ferguson. “Our fifth and sixth graders are benefitting because they’re receiving research-based instruction at the moment, and our middle childhood education students are benefitting because they immediately practice what they've been learning.”
Symbiotica has already met with incoming students to pre-assess each child to plan instruction.
“What’s so exciting about Symbiotica is that we get to see our students in their element early on,” Sylvester stated. “Before they’re fully teaching in their content areas, we get to plan very closely with them. We get to see how excited they are to enact one of their purposes for coming to Cedarville.”
Located in southwest Ohio, Cedarville University is an accredited, Christ-centered, Baptist institution with an enrollment of 5,082 undergraduate, graduate, and dual-enrolled high school students in more than 175 areas of study. Founded in 1887, Cedarville is one of the largest private universities in Ohio, recognized nationally for its authentic Christian community, rigorous academic programs, such as the bachelor of arts in primary education and the bachelor of arts in middle childhood education, high graduation and retention rates, accredited professional and health science offerings, and the #4 national ranking by the Wall Street Journal for student engagement.

There’s not much to do at the ‘residence’ in Abidjan other than to hope the 12 foot walls with 3 foot electric fence on top of them are enough to keep you safe from the monsters that surely emerge at night, deep from unfathomable, unending piles upon piles upon kingly piles of trash that line all manner of streets. I must assume such a creature exists, stalks the streets when most eyes are turned, swallowing shanty enterprises whole. Otherwise why would everyone look so sad so often?
I’ve mostly been reading or chatting with the people I came with, but I have turned on the tiny TV in the room four or five times [Though in an amusing turn, I had to re-terminate its coax cable with a huge knife from my room’s makeshift kitchen just to get one of these channels]. Surprisingly there are two English language movie channels and this morning I could not take it any more.
The first time it happened a few days ago, I let out a chuckle. This morning, however, I was aghast with defeat. I speak with sadness, of course, of STAY ALIVE. It’s been on twice now since I’ve been here, each time slicing me in the kidneys with its jaunty existence.
It wouldn’t be so bad, of course, were I actually doing what I should be doing in my spare time; Finishing THE LAN that I started before STAY ALIVE was an unholy glint in His eye. But, alas, I am not making any progress and thus The Abomination of Nerdom continues to lord over me, humiliating me, shunning me.
And people wonder why I’m angry all the time. | <urn:uuid:7081f119-f2f8-414c-819a-335d9a90c5b9> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,502 |

My condolences to the family.
Sad ... Phil as a really nice guy
Phil's Mom and Dad have been friends of ours for a few years now. I remember Phil in High School. He was friendly, nice and had a great sense of humor. He has taken good care of his Mom, since his Dad passed away. He also took great care of the rest of his family. I know his Mom has been so worried about him since he became ill and it broke her heart to lose him. Thankfully, he is no longer suffering. God Bless Phil and his entire family...
Nancy McNamara Zambrana
God bless & may he rest in peace.
Nice guy. RIP
Life seems too brief. Phil was nice a great guy
So sorry to hear this news. I'll always remember in Jr High going over to Phil Young's house and we'd have his grandpa take us to the library in his immaculate '54 Caddy. He used to polish that thing 'till the paint almost came off! Great memories!
Peggy Melton Cyphers
I remember Phil as being really nice and very friendly. RIP.

The Man Against Horse ride is next weekend and I can’t wait! Liberty and I are going to be doing the 25. It’s been four years since I’ve done this ride and I’ve been on pins and needles for the past month, just wanting the ride weekend to Be Here already.
|Gina sent this to me. Liberty went out all by
herself like a big girl and was very good. :)
This amusing face got worked last weekend, her first time since her massage. I could tell a big difference under saddle. She was moving well, and it wasn’t like trying to steer a 2×4.
|“Behold me, in my innocence.”|
|Innocent-face got a sloppy mash…|
|…which she proceeded to drool all over my
suburban. Which had just gone through the
car wash the day before.
I’ve been doing ride prep for Man Against Horse here and there in the evenings as I think about stuff that needs done. The other night, I made a new fancy red tail ribbon for Liberty to wear, since the first one I made got sacrificed to the manzanita at the Prescott Chaparral ride. Trying not to get too attached to this one, since there is also more manzanita along this trail. Lots of manzanita.
|She didn’t end up needing it at the last ride,
but I’m still using it as a precaution. Young
horses are unpredictable.
And somewhere along the way, fall happened:
|Running errands mid-morning. Nice.|
Display of multi-functionality:
|Hoof boot. Water bottle holder.|
And finally, it’s the weekend. Let’s make some trail dust.

The U.S. ranked 16th out of 23 countries in literacy proficiency, 21st in numeracy proficiency and 14th in problem solving in technology-rich environments. It is no secret our nation has fallen terribly behind in motivating and teaching our citizens how to read, which is the most basic fundamental skill of all in terms of achieving success. As the founder of the Bookcase for Every Child project, I am always looking for ideas and concepts that will help get this message across to more of our citizens and enlist the help of others who share my conviction. What I want to share in this column is a basic concept that I am calling “Hitting the Target for Literacy.”
One of my basic convictions is that we must reach children at a very early age to get them hooked on reading, as opposed to other things they may get hooked on later. While we have a lot of gadgets on the market today, it is also my conviction that most of these can be counterproductive because they often distract young people from the most important task of learning to read.
Suffice it to say an individual must learn to read regardless of the form in which the information is presented. The basic foundation for our project is that we “target” those who have the greatest need.
Without a doubt, the children reared in low-income families are at the greatest risk of later dropping out of school or life, because they have few (if any) books in the home while growing up. A lady who owns a nursery school where she works with 4- and 5-year-olds told me many children did not even know how to hold a book.
Here in our community we just presented our 500th personalized bookcase and a starter set of books to Head Start children, and we know we are making a difference. Another foundational concept of our project is that we strongly believe that a community should hold an annual bookcase banquet fundraiser.
We don’t need much money to conduct a local bookcase project, only enough to purchase the wood and supplies to build the bookcases. Everything else is “giving back” and this includes people donating quality, pre-school children’s books. We will have our 7th annual Bookcase Literacy Banquet later this year. Others in our community, in addition to our great local committee, will help decorate the banquet room, work in the kitchen, contribute homemade desserts and provide the entertainment.
On a rotating basis, students from three local high schools serve the meal. Since we started the project in 2005 and the banquets in 2007, we have had between 4,000 and 5,000 of our local people involved in one way or another. This concept creates an awareness of the project and gives everyone, and I do mean everyone, an opportunity to get involved.
While preparing our precious young people to enter our public schools involves so much more than simply giving them a bookcase and some books, this method does create a community awareness that, over time, begins to pay huge dividends.
We now have more really good children’s books donated than we can use, because we only give a “starter set” of 10 to 12 books, and the idea is to have parents and grandparents give these children a book for special occasions as they begin to develop their very own personalized library. This is when it really begins to mean something.
Again the idea is “Hitting the Target for Literacy.” Hope you will get involved. | <urn:uuid:d927b918-68b2-466b-a0ae-39e8b6c1f82f> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,377 |

Water Polo match into a Dutch Canal during the 1st World War 1914-1918 (Behind the Western front) .
(During the war, the Netherlands had remained neutral, something that had been a principle of Dutch foreign politics for some time. The Dutch army was, however, mobilised to defend its own territory. Furthermore, the Netherlands had to deal with the peripheral effects of the war. Large numbers of Belgian refugees had to be taken in, in temporary camps, among other places. Unemployment rose due to the fall in international trade and the sinking (by torpedoes) of many merchant vessels. Food became scarce and rationing was introduced. In 1917 and 1918, despairing housewives plundered food stocks in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.) | <urn:uuid:1816bb7d-e452-44c7-a56b-cb2c83441716> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 728 |

Follow the steps below to recreate the exact same layout as seen on the demo.
Step 1 – Choosing the Event post type to search
Under the General Options -> Sources panel, choose the Events (event) custom post type. In the demo setup we use nothing else, but that post type.
Events Manager - Event post type selection
Step 2 (optional) – Loading the theme
Any theme will work with this tutorial – the demo example uses the Underline Blue Vertical. To load that theme, go to the Theme Options panel and choose it from the list.
Theme Selection under Ajax Search Pro
Step 3 – Filters box visibility
Under the Frontend search settings -> General panel change the following options:
Show search settings switch on the frontend? (optional) – OFF
Set the search settings to visible by default? – ON
Search settings position – Block or Custom
Column Layout – Column
Filter box visibility and layout
Step 4 – Event date filters
The Event Manager plugin stores the event dates in a datetime format in the _event_start and _event_end custom fields.
Lets make both of the date filters under the Frontend Search Settings -> Custom Fields panel. Use the screenshots below as reference on how to create them.
Events starting after filter
Events ending before filter
Step 5 – Location filter (optional + custom code)
The Event Manager plugin stores the Locations ins a custom database table, but their API is very professional, thus it is possible to use it to get the locations as well.
First, let’s make a custom field filter on the _location_id custom field, which stores the ID to the locations.
Custom field: _location_id
This will get the location IDs, but we need the titles as well on the front-end. For that, a custom code is required.
Add this custom code to the functions.php in your theme/child theme directory (copy from line 3 only!). Before editing, please make sure to have a full site back-up just in case!
Step 6 – Event Category filter
The Event Category is a taxonomy, so it is time to create a taxonomy term filter as well. Go to the Frontend Search Settings -> Categories & Taxonomy Terms panel and choose the tribes_event – tribe_events_cat taxonomy, then drag the ‘Use all..’ option to use all of them.
Event category selection
Event category display mode
Step 7 – Date in results content
Under the Advanced Options -> Content panel, look for the Advanced Description Field option. | <urn:uuid:f168f033-82ad-4270-ab97-b921c0a29302> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,388 |

DPA Microphones has unveiled its 4017mk2 super-cardioid shotgun microphone. The 4017mk2 has been designed for use in film and broadcast as well as for live stage sound reinforcement and special effects recording.
According to the company, the mic has a self-noise of 14 dBA and a sensitivity of 30mV, which allows it to be used with 48V phantom power portable field recorders or standalone mic preamps. A selectable 1st order bass roll off filter (-6 dB) set at 120 Hz and a permanent 3rd order (18 dB per octave) high-pass filter set at 50 Hz help to minimize disturbances from both handing and wind. It also features a windshield solution from Rycote. | <urn:uuid:e24e1db6-c03b-469c-9789-89fe1bf5b74f> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 690 |
A person should not only be deemed healthy physically but also mentally. There are other areas of health that should be given importance more than what we see on the outside. Mental health, for one, deals with the well-being of an individual especially when it comes to emotional, social, and psychological concerns. Being able to take care, protect and maintain mental health will allow a person to think, act, and communicate in a healthier manner.
Mental health is essential when it comes to job applications. Mental Health Act is being implemented by different countries to ensure that they have citizens who can benefit to the growth of the country while maintaining their emotional conditions in a normal and healthy level. The main point of assessing the mental health of people is so they can be provided with treatment and maintenance support if found necessary. There are various Health Forms that you can use for this type of assessment.

It is important to assess a person’s mental health to ensure that he will not be a threat to himself and others. This will help to eliminate or control risks of suicide or homicide stemming from mental illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, or substance abuse. Mental Health Assessment Forms are also vital for anyone trying to employ people. Aside from making sure they are skillfully qualified for the job, you also need to check if they are mentally capable and healthy.
It helps to:
- Ensure that an individual is living an everyday life that is filled with aspirations and positive outlook. It is important for destructive, negative, and suicidal thoughts that will not help an individual grow to be removed from his/her daily dwelling so he/she can function accordingly.
- Provide the current mental condition of an individual so the need for professional medical assistance from a psychologist may be provided if assessment results suggest to do so.
- Encourage people to exercise. The ability to conduct physical activities can help in terms of ensuring that the mental health of an individual is improving through time. Effects like increase in energy, better sleeping habits and a stabilized mood can be evident if exercise is inserted in the routine of a person. If a proper assessment is given, then the effects of stress that constantly occurs and the like can be minimized.
- Allow people to connect with their loved ones even more. It sure helps a lot if the assessment is done with the presence of the people that serves as the strength and inspiration of the patient. Being able to connect with friends, colleagues and family members can make an individual feel more human as social interactions allow communication and connection to occur.

Mental health is not an issue to be taken lightly. It has serious repercussions that can not only affect you, but also the people around you. Watch out for early warning signs before they become severe. If you feel that you or someone you know has a mental illness, do not try to self-medicate. Seek assistance from a psychiatrist or psychologist to help you deal with your emotions and thoughts. This will help you get treatment if necessary and find an alternative lifestyle and way of thinking to improve your mental health. Health is wealth, as they say, and that includes not only your physical health, but your mental health as well. You may use Health Certificate Forms to further assess your overall health condition.

It's always a little trying when pretentious film intellectuals make something like "Notes For an African Orestes." The film is about a film that was never made, Pasolini's retelling the Greek legend of Orestes in modern continental Africa. Basically, it's a film composed of beautiful black and white images with an American narrator (representative of Pasolini) narrating over about how the images will fit into his film. It's not a documentary or a feature film, the narrator states in the beginning, merely notes. He films a man and says "perhaps this will be Orestes." A woman: "perhaps this will be my Electra." It really is an odd little intellectual exercise and the viewer pretty much has to imagine what the film will look like himself based on Pasolini's sketches - that is, presuming that the viewer cares at all. If you're a Pasolini fan this would likely appeal more to you. It's a film of many ideas, the work of a real visionary, but whether or not you're willing to go along for the ride is the only real way to determine whether "Notes For an African Orestes" is genius or c**p.
Personally, I found it to be a little of both.

Neighbours upset over damaged century-old trees in Barrie's south end
Some residents in Barrie's south-end Allandale neighbourhood say they're frustrated over the lack of rules and regulations regarding building secondary suites on residential properties.
If you look through Arlene McCann’s backyard there is currently a giant hole where a second house is being built on her neighbour’s property.
"We had no notice of this. It started Monday with a survey crew coming in quickly followed by a bulldozer," she said.
The city issued the owner of the property a permit to build the secondary suite.
It's part of a strategy to create more affordable housing after the province loosened rules in 2019 around secondary suites as part of its More Homes, More Choice Act.
"City staff have been out, and the dwelling is being built as per the permit and the plans," said Jim Harris, Ward 8 city councillor.
But McCann says the excavation of the property has now jeopardized a century-old tree that borders the property.
"The structural integrity of the tree's roots has been severely compromised," McCann said. "The arborist has given his opinion that it is no longer safe and it will have to come down."
Her bordering tree is not the only one she says was damaged during excavation.
A walnut tree on the other side of the property owned by the St. George's Anglican Church will also have to be removed.
"It will be several thousand dollars to remove this tree, and that's a cost that we don't have in our budget," said Leonard Day, St. George's Anglican Church warden.
The neighbourhood association says several secondary suites are being built in the neighbourhood.
"This is also a city-wide problem. Ward one, ward two and ward three are also having issues as far as secondary suites being built," said Cathy Colebatch, co-chair of the Allandale Neighbourhood Association. "For the city staff and planning and council to throw their hands up in the air and say there is nothing we can do that's not good enough."
CTV News spoke with the property owner regarding the century-old trees, who says he wasn't aware the trees have to be removed.
He said he is willing to work with the neighbours.
But it's not just the trees; Harris says other issues have also been brought to light. "There's been a variety of concerns raised, I mean the size, the scale, the excavation, having a basement and the impact on bordering trees and neighbours."
Concerns the city is now trying to address.
"City staff have been reviewing the regulations and looking at bringing forward recommendations to consider in the fall," said Harris.
According to the city, 119 permits have been issued for second suites so far, with 16 applications for detached accessory dwellings.
"We are seeing more of these detached units being applied for, and the city is proposing updated zoning laws in order to balance the need for housing with the needs of existing neighbourhoods," said Andrea Miller, General Manager, Infrastructure and Growth Management in a statement to CTV News. | <urn:uuid:1ae70c07-f323-489d-929a-75f58ab0b329> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,037 |

Re: "Many people are fed up with U.S. Postal Service" by Elaine Cohen, Your Opinion, April 2:
Well, Ms. Cohen, I agree.
In the last month or so, I have had mail either lost or misplaced by the Post Office and it never reached its destination.
One piece of mail was very important. It contained legal forms I had placed in my mailbox in front of my home a half hour before pickup.
These people keep increasing the postage fee and giving us lousy, if not inept, service. I wish it would go private. | <urn:uuid:0e8a4e9f-fada-4655-9c65-73f9b913aec3> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 496 |

Historically, developed markets dominated global consumption. However, the EM consumer is now a powerful force, having already overtaken the U.S. consumer in terms of global consumption share. We expect this trend to build momentum, creating a new landscape for investors.

I’m deploying n8n across a docker swarm and am mounting
/root/.n8n to shared storage. I see ~1TB/Day in transactions for this and am wondering if there’s a better way.
What, at a minimum, would n8n need to share for a container on one server to start seamlessly on another server. Is there a better way then mounting the sqlight db? Perhaps just share the workflows and stored secrets config across? I’m assuming that the object transactions I see this traffic on is workflow execution and result items. I don’t think I necessarily need this on every node if the container starts up on another in swarm, but the workflows themselves are important.
To expand on this question – I have a workflow running on a schedule that has over time gradually taken more and more bandwidth and now is using this much data. When it started it was using a small fraction of this. I’m assuming it has something to do with execution history because of this so if there’s an easy way to prune the DB or limit the storage size of objects in this respect then that would also work perfectly. | <urn:uuid:007329ad-3a27-48d2-9289-e292b0063705> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,070 |
NATCA congratulates Larry Willis & Greg Regan on re-election, recognizes TTD’s 30th anniversary
The National Air Traffic Controllers Association congratulates Larry Willis and Greg Regan on being re-elected to a second term as President and Secretary-Treasurer, respectively, of the Transportation Trades Department, AFL-CIO (TTD), and recognizes TTD for its 30th anniversary.
TTD is a coalition of 33 member unions, including NATCA, dedicated to providing a bold voice for transportation workers across the country.
“We were very eager to support Larry and Greg in their re-election. They have done a great job of serving as a unifying voice for transportation labor and workers in every mode of transportation,” NATCA President Paul Rinaldi said. “NATCA has held its relationship with TTD in the highest regard for the past three decades. TTD has always been a champion for both the safety of the National Airspace System (NAS) and the best interests of the men and women professionals who safeguard the NAS every day.”
Willis and Regan were first elected to their respective positions in 2017 and have been at the forefront of fighting for each of TTD’s affiliates, including NATCA. During the 35-day government shutdown a year ago, TTD spoke out forcefully on behalf of NATCA members who were either forced to go to work without knowing when they would be paid, or furloughed, also without knowing if or when they would receive a paycheck. Wrote Willis in a statement in January 2019: “Federal workers — including those who play a vital role in keeping our transportation system safe— are real people with families to feed, not political pawns to be sacrificed on a whim.”
NATCA Executive Vice President Trish Gilbert, who is representing NATCA at this week’s TTD Executive Council meeting, called Willis and Regan true friends of NATCA and each of its members.
“Larry and Greg are such passionate supporters of transportation workers. They come to work each day fighting hard for these workers’ rights,” Gilbert said. “Throughout the last 30 years, TTD has stood strong, undeterred by the challenges to organized labor or attempts to weaken the rights of transportation workers. They have shared our solidarity and lent a collective voice to a cause that is greater than each of our affiliates speaking out individually.” | <urn:uuid:e66ae2d5-67d5-4f34-a5a6-6338079f6824> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,326 |

60 years since the oral contraceptive pill became available on the NHS
Better known as ‘the pill’, oral contraceptives are used by 151 million people worldwide[i], typically falling into two main categories: Combined Oral Contraceptives (COCs), which contain two hormones – oestrogen and progestogen – and the Progestogen-only Pill (POP), also known as the mini pill, which contains only progestogen. While both types of contraceptive pill work similarly, POPs are usually recommended for people who menstruate who cannot take medication containing oestrogen, such as those who breastfeed, and for over-35s who smoke[ii].
Although offered on the NHS since 1961, the pill was initially only accessible to cisgender, married women. Those who were unmarried in England and Wales could not access oral contraceptives until the passing of the NHS Family Planning Act in 1967 – this came a year later in Scotland, while the pill did not become widely available in Northern Ireland until 1972[iii]. Even then, these decisions were largely based on concerns surrounding the financial strain created by unplanned children[iv], rather than a drive to promote reproductive autonomy.
Access to the contraceptive pill nonetheless provided unprecedented control over pregnancy and fertility, greater sexual freedom, and protection against ovarian cancer and pelvic inflammatory disease, the latter a major cause of infertility.
While undoubtedly a turning point for reproductive health, the pill did not come without its issues. Concerns surrounding the pill’s safety have pervaded its history, in particular through health scares linking its use to the onset of deep vein thrombosis. The European Medicines Agency, however, continues to assure that the benefits of using the pill outweigh the risks[v].
Today’s oral contraceptives contain far lower hormone doses and are considered much safer than the first marketed pill, Enovid10[vi], but what does the future hold for contraception here in the UK?
Although the pill remains the UK’s most popular method of contraception, uptake fell from 45% in 2014/15 to 38% in 2019/20, while the uptake of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) has steadily increased over the last decade[vii]. Research into a male contraceptive pill remains limited[vii], with resistance to the potential side effects, a controversial barrier as such side effects are already experienced by many people using female oral contraceptives. Progress has, however, been seen in other areas: in the coming years, we may see POPs become available over the counter for the first time in UK history, “a landmark opportunity for [reproductive] health” (Michelle Riddalls, Chief Executive of PAGB), providing easier-than-ever access to hormonal contraceptives[ix].

Hearing that a team is on a three-game road winning streak may be a little intimidating, especially when you know you’re the next team on their schedule. But when you’re the New York Islanders, that statistic just raises the level of play.
“I think it’s not so much they’ve come to it now,” said Islanders head coach Scott Gordon about the teams’ winning mentality. “I think they came to training camp with the idea, ‘You know what, we are going to win. Enough’s enough and now it’s time to play with confidence and now maybe what other people don’t know is that we’ve got more than just potential. We have abilities.’ ”
And Saturday night that’s exactly what the Islanders showed in their 5-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche. With two goals from defenseman Milan Jurcina
coming less than five minutes apart in the second period and then a fast power play goal from Josh Bailey
to top it off, the Avalanche seemingly had no chance at a victory inside the Nassau Coliseum.
And while the second period was fast paced, the first was scoreless with out many scoring opportunities by either team. But it was the Islanders who regrouped and stuck to their game plan, giving Avalanche their second loss this season (3-2-0) as well as propelling their home winning streak against the Avalanche to six.
“You don’t want to find yourself in holes, losing two or three in a row,” said Islanders forward John Tavares
. “It was a great bounce back for us tonight, to get a big win and two points. There aren’t (that) many home games the next few weeks so it’s always important to play strong at home and make it tough for teams when they come here.”
One of the biggest story lines has been about the quality of Josh Bailey
’s game this season. The forward has clearly learned a lot in his young professional career and has begun his third season with the club by establishing himself as one of the Islanders top forwards. It was huge when he tallied the Islanders third goal of the game while on the power play.
As the Avalanche struggled to kill the penalty, Wisniewski passed the puck to PA Parenteau
just on top of the goal line and set Bailey up in front of the net to wrist the puck up and over the shoulder of Colorado’s goaltender Craig Anderson.
“I think it’s just Josh (Bailey) being one more year mature,” said goaltender Dwayne Roloson. “He’s not complacent and he knows what he has to do to score goals and get his linemates opportunities to get points. He’s working hard and it’s great to see. He’s a great person off the ice and he’s a great teammate. I’m so happy for him that he’s having the start that he’s having.”
Before Bailey was able to score the game winner, Islanders defenseman Milan Jurcina
tallied the Islanders first two goals of the game and his first of the season.
Exactly one minute after Andrew MacDonald
found himself in the penalty box for cross-checking, Bailey won the faceoff from the right circle in front of Anderson and passed the puck off the boards deflecting back to Jurcina, who took the slapshot for the Islanders first shorthanded goal of the season.
There’s no question he’s (Milan Jurcina has) probably one of the hardest shots. Dean (Chynoweth) joked with me that had that missed the net, it probably would have gone around the rink twice. - Scott Gordon
“There’s no question he’s (got) probably one of the hardest shots,” Gordon said about Jurcina. “Dean (Chynoweth) joked with me that had that missed the net, it probably would have gone around the rink twice.”
But that wasn’t Jurcina’s only point in the game, as he scored his second goal at 18:01 of the second when he shot from about two feet out front of the goal line along the boards, trickling in past Anderson. The defenseman also tallied an assist on the final score of the game when Tavares earned his first point of the season after sliding the puck into an empty net with 20 seconds left in regulation.
Jurcina and Tavares weren’t the only one to tally firsts in Saturday night’s game. Michael Grabner
showed what Islanders General Manager saw in the forward when he picked him up off waivers this preseason.

, showed his speed in a two-on-two rush down ice. Just before reaching Anderson, Parenteau made a beautiful pass right on Grabner’s stick for a tip past the Colorado goaltender at 4:11.
“This is a kid that, with the style we play, (Grabner) should be able to flourish,” Gordon said. “His speed, he’s got good skill. We’re working him slowly. Ideally we’d like to be able to get him into some special teams situations. I’ve found him to be a low maintenance guy that just wants to get the opportunity to play and he’s going to get it.”
Even though the Isles tallied three straight goals in the second period, the Avalanche didn’t give up, coming back in the third period to score two goals. Chris Stewart tallied Colorado’s first goal of the night at 2:19 of the final period, while TJ Galiardi tallied the second at 10:08.
Winning the game couldn’t have been a possibility without an outstanding performance in goal from Roloson, who saw 30 shots and made 28 saves. Even though Roloson had a lot to do with the Islanders second regulation victory of the season, the goaltender is extremely humble and really just cares about helping his teammates be the best team they can be.
“It’s huge for our team,” Roloson said about the win. “We’ve talked from the beginning of the year, from our veterans down to our younger guys, about trying not to lose back-to-back games, try to nip it in the bud early and we were able to succeed tonight. Coming out of a start that we had, we’re looking pretty good right now.”
The Islanders leave for a four-game road trip on Sunday afternoon, making their first stop in Toronto, before playing their next game at home on Oct. 29 against the Canadiens. | <urn:uuid:7e9bc3ac-cf68-46ed-848b-67a8144ea276> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 5,828 |

Original radio DJ, among other things
Enjoyed my times being a member of the Scots football team, being the Sports Editor on the Mac Weekly and as it is, turning out to be one of the original radio DJ's of Radio KDHR.
What a force she was!
Margaret (Maggie) Friedl Johnson
My most vivid memory is that of Mary Gwen Owen. What a force she was in the Drama Department, with her suits, hats and jingly bracelets. She became the mom I no longer had. When I started teaching I created an office, off my classroom, that years later I realized emulated her office. I can still hear her yelling, "Friedl!" Selling tickets to plays while smoking cigars, taking Armajani's 'World Religions' class, traveling with the Drama Choros, singing a solo in the '61 Homecoming show, and directing my final play, "Night of January16th," with a great cast in the lobby of the old theatre are just a few more special memories. I had a wonderful education at Mac and cherish those four years.
Long before "Cats" hit Broadway
I enjoyed my term in Drama Choros, short though it was. I still remember our "Jellical Cats" performance, long before "Cats" hit Broadway.
Bagpipes and Mary Gwen Owen
I loved the Mac bagpipe band. To this day, I'm still not sure if the band members were properly attired underneath their kilts. The Drama Choros under the director of Mary Gwen Owen. What fun that was. Mary Gwen could never remember anyone's name. While wiggling her index finger at you, she'd say "What the hell is your name?" Always got a laugh. When we went on tour staying in area homes along the way, she would admonish us to use only the guest towels throwing in some "flowery" words to get our attention, improve our memory, not to mention good manners. And that red smock she always wore I am looking forward to our reunion performance at the June 50-Year Class Reunion. I wish she could be there. She's probably entertaining the angels.
Taking a stand against Joe McCarthy
Mary A. Martin
Many of those I most remember were with me in the Presbyterian College Fellowship that met at Macalester Presbyterian Church. I think it was out of that connection that I signed a letter against Joe McCarthy that was published in the Congressional Record.
Alpha Delta Theta meetings at the Frenzels
Kathy Lawler Hansen
We had an honorary "sorority" (Alpha Delta Theta) for medical technology majors; Dr. Frenzel was the advisor to the group. He often hosted meetings at his home in Falcon Heights. I'm not sure we adequately appreciated Mrs. Frenzel's efforts in hosting and feeding us, at a time when she had small children as well.
Our Red Cross chapter
Kathy Lawler Hansen
There was a Red Cross chapter on campus and some of us became "Gray Ladies" (what a 50's term!). I remember volunteering at the state mental hospital in Hastings as part of that experience. Thankfully, much has changed in the treatment of mental illness since then.
Joining the Pipe Band
Justine Broberg Boots
Of the many intriguing new choices which I was to make during my freshman year at Mac, I chose to join the Macalester Pipe Band. I managed to memorize the fingerings of the Scottish tunes on the chanter but had real difficulty when i came to inflating the pipes, marching, and keeping up with the rest of the musicians—multi-tasking before I knew the real meaning of the word. What kept me motivated during those dizzying hours of practice was the promise of a spring trip to Winnipeg to participate in a competition, to make new friends—a multicultural experience before I knew the meaning of this important gift.
Mary Gwen Owen taught us those edgy pieces
Terry Anderson Alewine
I enjoyed being in the Drama Choros -- Mary Gwen Owen was quite inspirational, and many times her pieces were edgy and before their time... I liked that! I used my experience many times with the students that I taught... it was good experience for them to read as a chorus with expression... and fun, too! I even taught them POGO. | <urn:uuid:8aa7fc27-01d2-44c5-a693-033365f44c13> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,659 |

Understanding the impacts of climate change on rice production a qualitative perspective
Abstract Download PDFSeveral quantitative studies have concluded that climate change would negatively affect the Asian rice supply. Recently, as temperatures in Asia have approached the temperature threshold for rice growth, the Asian rice supply has become vulnerable to climate change in the near future. To complement quantitative studies"e projections of the negative impacts of climate change on rice supply, this paper offers a qualitative analysis using system archetypes to understand the impacts of climate change on rice production. Two structures of the system archetypes are identified including Limits to Growth and Success to Successful. Both archetypes explain that rice production is hampered by high minimum temperature, as photosynthesis output is decreased by an increasing respiration. This paper shows that using this simple tool, system archetypes, we can describe the impacts of climate change on rice production. The outputs of this study, such as the causal loop diagram and system archetypes, can be the basis for the development of a simulation model used for understanding the impacts of climate change on major crops.

Dow Back Over 13,000: Tuesday's Takeaways
The stock market has been unnervingly similar to a pendulum lately. One day European bond markets have investors shaking in their boots, leading to a massive sell-off and pushing the pendulum into the red -- while the next day all is forgotten and the pendulum swings back into the green. Today, investors had a change to exhale while European debt was financed at acceptable levels; the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEX: ^DJI) closed up 0.58% and finished above the 13,000 mark once again. The S&P 500 also finished in positive territory, up 37 points, but there was no such love for the Nasdaq, which closed down 0.30%.
Not up to expectations?
AT&T (NYS: T) reported earnings today, handily beating expectations and leading the Dow higher. The company increased first-quarter earnings by 5.2%. But it was another part of the earnings release that had investors worried: iPhone sales growth. AT&T reported a decrease in iPhone sales, leading to a continued sell-off of Apple (NAS: AAPL) shares. But with Apple releasing first-quarter data soon afterwards -- and once again smashing expectations -- its shares shot up around 7% after hours.
Not only did the Nasdaq recoil with the pre-close Apple decline, but it also took a hit from the freefalling Netflix (NAS: NFLX) . Investors heavily discounted the home-entertainment company as competition continues to eat away at its prospects. Netflix closed the day down 13.9%.
Economic data didn't take its toll on the markets today -- it pretty much stayed unnoticed. The latest Case-Shiller report came out today, stating that U.S. single-family homes took a step in the right direction by showing price increases for the first time in almost a year. This is great news for a sector that's been in shambles since 2008. However, actual home sales decreased to their lowest level in four months.
In line with home sales, consumer confidence also decreased in April. However, tomorrow will be a telling day, with the Federal Open Market Committee meeting to discuss the state of the economy. This meeting gets a lot of close scrutiny because it can decide future monetary policy, and it could also carry political ramifications. This being the final year of the current presidential term, it's imperative to stay current with current political agendas and the benefits or consequences they can cause to your portfolio.

I try to get through emotional pain, not go around it. It always ends sooner that way, I also use chocolate.-Christina Perri
Yesterday was my Mom’s birthday, always a hard day for me. It is always painful when I realize I have lived more than twice the life without her than I had with her. My love for her is just as strong, my NEED for her just as powerful and my grief for her .. just as deep as when she was taken from me (us), I do have siblings!
This may come as a surprise, I don’t really care all that much about Chocolate. I prefer more fruity, sour, and chewy forms of candy. Yesterday though, with all the heartache I was feeling, chocolate was on the brain. I craved chocolate cake, chocolate ice-cream, chocolate bars, chocolate cookies … pudding even. I made it through my day mostly chocolate free, I did have a few pieces of Dark chocolate that are mixed into a sweet treat I allow myself to indulge in. Dark chocolate (70% or better) is allowed in small quantities on Paleo … the darker the better.
Did you know chocolate can decrease pain, more specifically emotional pain! When we eat chocolate the brain releases endorphins and serotonin. We get a short-lived “high” that just makes all those emotional pains a little less, so no surprise I had chocolate on the brain yesterday. Next time you are having a rough emotional moment and need chocolate, I recommend going for it, with moderation of course.
I am going to share with you a couple of the things I allow myself to indulge in. One is a coconut, almond medley. It has unsweetened dried coconut flakes, lightly salted roasted almonds and very small dark chocolate chunks. A handful or two of this snack mix is just the right amount of sweet to satisfy my craving most days. Second is a Chocolate Chip “Fat bomb”. Fat bombs are very popular amongst the Keto crowd, since we are trying out the Primal diet, I decided to give these a go. Fat bombs not only hit the sweet tooth but also are an easy way of meeting those daily healthy fat intake requirements.
Chocolate-chip Fat Bomb:
- 8 oz. of softened cream cheese (Primal requires this to be pasture-raised dairy – hard to find but not impossible.)
- 1 stick of softened grass-fed butter
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/3 cup sweetener of choice (swerve, monk fruit, erythritol, or Chicory root) – these are all paleo and keto compliant.
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 oz. of 70% or better choc chips (I used Enjoy Life brand)
Cream everything together in your mixer, refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up then scoop onto parchment lined sheet pan and freeze for at least 30 minutes. Store in zip-locks or Tupperware container in the freezer until it is time to indulge.
I tend to use these as an evening treat, we get two each and it really hits the sweet spot with just enough goodness. I highly recommend these!

Month: May 2019
It can be a pain to see your feline friend struggling to pass stool. It is even more heartbreaking when there is blood in your cat’s rock-hard stool. The real cause for alarm is when your cat is not defecating for two days straight. If cat constipation is not solved right away, it can lead to a build-up of hard stools in the colon.
What causes cat constipation?
Dehydration is the most common cause of difficulty in elimination. Other problems include a mainly dry food diet, lack of fiber intake, joint problems, pain in the pelvis, a lack of exercise, senior cat problems, and weight issues. Ingestion of copious amounts of cat fur and hazardous material like rubber band, string, and bones can also block the intestine and colon. | <urn:uuid:c8f3ff01-02ce-46f5-b260-411b9e4fb7bc> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 750 |
Kristy Lee Cook
Kristy Lee Cook didn’t grow up in a rodeo or hunting family, but once she discovered those passions, she planted herself firmly in both worlds. […]
Lacee Curnutt from Talihina, Oklahoma, grew up riding on a ranch. Her grandfather, Don Huddleston (Back When They Bucked, page 18)raised her riding with him on the southeast Oklahoma ranch. “My grandpa went to the NFR 8 times and even though he had retired by the time I started hazing, I used to haze for everyone he helped,” said the oldest of five sisters. “On Sundays, Grandmomma took me to church and we always practiced after the meal.” Lacee competed in barrel racing and hazed with her two bulldogging teams through college. “Those two teams helped me stay on the rodeo team,” she said. Lacee went to college for elementary education, but left to go pro rodeo before completing the student teaching.
She hazed for her ex-husband and several bulldoggers and came home when she became pregnant. “Then along came Walker Don Woodall,” she said. “I couldn’t be luckier –he’s friendly, loving and kind. And a good boy.” She came home and waitressed and eventually worked in the oil fields. “I was still hazing at the amateur rodeos and raising Walker; trying to be a good mom.” Although Walker rides horses, his first priority is playing football. He also likes fishing and playing baseball.
Lacee met steer wrestler Tom Lewis through a mutual friend and they literally met on the road – at a Wendy’s at Hayes, Kansas. He went his way and she went hers. “I told him if he made the short round at Dodge City, Kansas, I’d come watch him.” He did and she went and he won the rodeo. “It was a good first date.” That was more than a year ago and the couple will be married November 10.
She has been able to stay home, quitting her job of hauling horse trailers, to take care of the horses at home and keep up with 10-year-old Walker and Tom. Whenever she can, she hazes for Tom as well as several others. “I can remember the first time in 2003 when I bought my card. I hazed in Ft. Worth and they were fresh cattle; that will always weed out who deserves to be there. It was a man’s sport, and I had to prove myself before they were ever really nice. Once I did, they were good.”
She says that one of the secrets to being a good hazer is having a good horse. “That hazing horse has to help everyone,” explained the 35 year old. “When I was young, I had a horse that we got off the track. He bucked everyone off and finally I got him and he took care of me until the day he died. He was 22 – it’s been hard to find another one. I’ve trained a bunch, and Chad Richard out of Utah had one that has been super awesome – Superman.”
“Throwing your leg across enough of them you know the difference. When to say enough is enough and when to keep messing with them. With age, you recognize what a good horse has to have. You’ve got to have some heart in them – I like finding that peace in a horse.” They have the perfect team now between Superman and Maverick. It’s the same way they feel about working as a team with each other.
“I never thought I would ever have a lady haze for me,” said Tom, who made the NFR in 2012. “She’s not just a cowgirl; she’s special. She’s the love of my life, we’re good friends and we can talk. It’s been good. At the end of the day, it’s just a rodeo.” He has been dogging steers since he was a junior in high school, joining the PRCA in 2001. In 2012, after winning the circuit 4 times, he made a run at the NFR. His good horse got hurt after he made the NFR in 2012 and it’s taken him four years to find Maverick. Four guys rode him at the Finals last year and the duo, along with the hazing horse, Superman, have had a great year.
Lacee’s goal in life is to be happy and have a peaceful life. “I want to give back, I love helping young ones! Always give God the Glory; we would be nothing without Him! Her other goal is to be the first female hazer at the NFR, a goal she has held dear for many years. “I’d love to make history. To me it would be a payoff of years and years of hard work.”

His remote community is indeed an isolated one.
But Fort Severn First Nation Chief Paul Burke believes it has the ability to be a trendsetter.
A step in this direction was taken recently as the First Nation completed a 300-kilowatt solar farm, which will not only help provide clean energy to the community but also alleviate some of its dependence on diesel fuel.
The current project, which cost about $1.8 million to construct, will translate into as much as a 20 per cent reduction on diesel reliance for the First Nation.
It is estimated the current project alone will reduce the amount of diesel being brought into the community by about 400,000 litres each year. That translates into a savings of about $360,000 annually.
Additional solar and wind projects to further reduce diesel consumption are already being discussed in the community.
“That’s my dream, to be the first community totally reliant on clean energy,” Burke said.
Fort Severn is the most northern First Nation in Ontario. It is located about 850 kilometres north of Thunder Bay.
Burke is hoping other First Nations, as well as other non-Indigenous communities, take note of what his community has been able to accomplish.
“If we can do this up here, we can replicate it anywhere in the world,” he said.
Michael Wrinch, the principal engineer at Hedgehog Technologies, is among those who are thrilled this initial solar farm has now been completed on Fort Severn First Nation.
Wrinch, who managed the project, began working for the First Nation a decade ago when he developed their community energy plan. He spent time in the First Nation assessing what their energy needs were and how energy was being used at the time.
One of the recommendations Wrinch made to the First Nation was to explore solar options.
This advice was offered because Fort Severn is such a remote First Nation. As a result, there are only three options to bring diesel into the community.
One is by barge. But as community members found out a few years back, if the barge does not run, then other methods have to be considered.
There’s also an ice road that comes to the community. But that is only open about a half dozen weeks of the year. And only if it is cold enough.
Fort Severn First Nation is also a fly-in community. So, planes can bring in supplies but costs to do so quickly add up.
Work on the solar project had been underway when Burke was elected chief in 2016. But he felt the project was being mismanaged and then new sources of funding had to be sought.
Plus, some naysayers, including political officials, were telling him to abandon the project.
“The government was killing it off,” Burke said. “They were saying to bury this project and I kept saying no.”
Wrinch believes Burke’s persistence is what led to the solar farm becoming a reality.
“Without the leadership of Chief Burke, this never would have happened,” he said. “He was always saying ‘Don’t give up’ and ‘Try this’.”
Burke is pleased to be doing his part to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“I’m an environmental buff,” he said.
It won’t just be community members who will benefit from Fort Severn’s solar farm. Polar bears are frequently seen in the First Nation where they produce their offspring. Since climate change is threatening their existence, Fort Severn’s solar farm will help their habitat.
“This is a feel-good story for the bears and for the community,” Wrinch said.
Fort Severn First Nation currently has a pair of generators that supply power, as well as a backup generator.
“It is basically turning off one of those generators,” Burke said of the solar project.
Burke expects the solar farm will be paid off in about 18 months. And then the First Nation can start concentrating on housing projects from the money it will be saving from the solar farm.
“That money is slated for housing and nothing else,” he said.
Wrinch is hoping to continue working with Fort Severn First Nation on additional energy ventures.
“These projects take a long time to get together,” he said. “We’ll try to do it as quickly as possible. But there are a lot of challenging things that can slow you down.”
Wrinch would love to help fulfil Burke’s wish of having the community entirely weaned off diesel.
“You can get to 100 per cent,” he said. “But you always want the diesel as a backup. It’s not always windy. And it’s not always sunny. Our goal though is to get to 100 per cent.”

Intel 80286 motherboards were capable of running expansion slots and the processor at different speeds over the same bus. However, dating from the introduction of the 386 chip in 1987, motherboards provided two bus systems. In addition to the official bus – whether ISA, EISA or MCA – there was also a 32-bit system bus connecting the processor itself to the main memory. It was the rise in popularity of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) – such as Microsoft Windows – and the consequent need for faster graphics that originally drove the concept of local bus peripherals. The bus by which they were connected was commonly referred to as the local bus because its high speed and the delicate nature of the processor means that it can only function over short distances.
Initial efforts to boost speed were proprietary: manufacturers integrated the graphics and hard disk controller into the system bus. This achieved significant performance improvements but limited the upgrade potential of the system. As a result, in the early 1990s, a group of graphics chipset and adapter manufacturers, the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), established a non-proprietary high-performance bus standard. Essentially, this extended the electronics of the 486 system bus to include two or three expansion slots: the VESA Local Bus (VL-Bus). The VL-Bus worked well and many cards became available, predominately graphics and IDE controllers.
The main problem with VL-Bus was its close coupling with the main processor. Connecting too many devices risked interfering with the processor itself, particularly if the signals went through a slot. VESA recommended that only two slots be used at clock frequencies up to 33MHz, or three if they are electrically buffered from the bus. At higher frequencies no more than two devices should be connected, and at 50MHz or above they should both be built into the motherboard.
The fact that the VL-Bus ran at the same clock frequency as the host CPU became a problem as processor speeds increased. The faster the peripherals are required to run, the more expensive they are, due to the difficulties associated with manufacturing high-speed components. Consequently, the difficulties in implementing the VL-Bus on newer chips such as the 40MHz and 50MHz 486s and the new 60/66MHz Pentium created the perfect conditions for Intel’s PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect).

Universal’s Little Fockers may have debuted at the top spot but its 26th December weekend gross of US $30.8 million, taking its five-day opening to $45.1 million, was not too impressive. By comparison, Meet The Fockers had made $46.1 million in the same Christmas weekend in 2004 for a five-day start of $70.5 million.
True Grit was the other new film which entered the Top 5 chart. Debuting at no. 2, the Paramount flick collected $24.9 million in three days and $36.1 million in five days. Walt Disney’s Tron: Legacy fell two places from the previous weekend, collecting $19.2 million at no.
3. Its 10-day total went up to $87.4 million.
The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader fell one place. At no. 4, it grossed $9.5 million in its third weekend to take its 17-day total to $62.6 million.
Warner Bros.’ Yogi Bear rounded off the Top 5 chart. Falling three places, it amassed $7.8 million in its second weekend. Its 10-day total was $35.8 million.

THIS churning cloud of dust and gas marks one of the richest regions of star formation in the Milky Way. The region, dubbed Cygnus X for its location in the constellation Cygnus (the Swan), is the birthplace of the largest population of massive stars in a 6500-light-year radius. It's also a graveyard for newborn stars whose formation was prematurely halted by their hostile environment.
Cygnus X is home to thousands of young, restless O-type stars. These are the brightest, hottest, most massive types of stars - and they also have the shortest lives. Their hot radiation and powerful stellar winds carve bubbles and pillars out of the clouds of gas and dust in which they formed.
Those winds can trigger cascades of star formation elsewhere in the cloud, as material clumps up, falls together under its own gravity and eventually ignites. But the winds can also strip life-giving gas away from infant stars, suddenly stopping their growth.
The beautiful clouds in this image are normally invisible or blocked by opaque dust. But NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, operated by the California Institute of Technology, has infrared eyes. It can peer through the dust to reveal the cloud's intricate structures.
Most stars are thought to form in similar swirling cauldrons. Over time, the stars that survive the volatility of their early years seek out a slower pace of life away from the dense nurseries where they were born.

Latest Crop diversity Stories
The conventional wisdom that says the 20th century was a disaster for crop diversity is nothing more than a myth.
The continued growth of cropland and loss of natural habitat have increasingly simplified agricultural landscapes in the Midwest.
Growth of cropland, loss of natural habitat to blame.
A new study has matched future climate change "hotspots" with regions already suffering chronic food problems to identify highly-vulnerable populations, chiefly in Africa and South Asia, but potentially in China and Latin America as well, where in fewer than 40 years, the prospect of shorter, hotter or drier growing seasons could imperil hundreds of millions of already-impoverished people.
Researchers meeting at a scientific conference in Aleppo this week reported that aggressive new strains of wheat rust diseases – called stem rust and stripe rust – have decimated up to 40% of farmers' wheat fields in recent harvests.
Crop specialists in Central America announced today that a major rescue effort is underway in one of the heartlands of ancient agriculture to regenerate thousands of unique varieties of coffee, tomatoes, chili peppers, beans and other major crops through a partnership between the Global Crop Diversity Trust and 19 Latin American genebanks.
Third birthday of arctic repository brings surge in seed deposits, but also reminders from Egypt, Australia and Russia of natural and man-made risks to global agriculture.
The Global Crop Diversity Trust today announced a major global search to systematically find, gather, catalogue, use, and save the wild relatives of wheat, rice, beans, potato, barley, lentils, chickpea, and other essential food crops, in order to help protect global food supplies against the imminent threat of climate change, and strengthen future food security.
Researchers have uncovered the genetic basis of remarkable broad-spectrum resistance to a viral infection that, in some parts of the world, is the most important pathogen affecting leafy and arable brassica crops including broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, swede and oilseed rape.
Saving vulnerable indigenous crop diversity is key to developing crops in the future and promoting healthier diets.

Among the most interesting aspects of Spain is its culture– rich, distinctive, and also itself a fusion of Moorish impacts, Roman ideologies, and also Christian aspirations. What else can you expect from the land of Flamenco, bullfights, as well as castanets? Of gypsies and also guitars? Of romance as well as passion?
To discuss Spain culture is to discuss a substantial variety of web pages of the world’s history. As soon as an international realm, Spain society has a terrific influence in a lot of its previous territories– North, Central, and also South The U.S.A., Africa, and also the Philippines– an influence that is as widely apparent currently as it was after that.
There are aspects of Spain culture that have actually continued to be really Spanish. That is, when you hear it mentioned, your initial idea will certainly constantly be that warm country on the Iberian Peninsula in Mediterranean Europe.
Contrary to common belief, the Flamenco is more than just a dancing. This gem of Spain culture in fact exists in three types:
* Cante– the song
* Baile– the dancing
* Guitarra– guitar playing
It came from Southern Spain and also the gypsies were believed to be its daddies. At the very least, they played an extremely important role in its creation. Flamenco was influenced by a number of factors, consisting of but not limited to the prominent tunes and also dancings of Andalucia and also the many diverse societies as well as worlds that dominated Spain in its lots of historical epochs.
Who hasn’t become aware of it? Who hasn’t come across it and also not related it to Spain society? Bullfighting is absolutely one of the most popular, and possibly the most debatable, of Spanish personalizeds.
No carnival in Spain is ever before total without a corrida de toros (bullfighting) or the Toro Bravo, the types of bull discovered only in Spain and preserved for objectives of bullfighting. Thought about by sports to foreigners to Spain society, fans of bullfighting urge that it is an art of the highest kind– portraying the timeless battle in between man and monster; the civilized male against his primitive nature; the weakness of body as well as the strength of spirit.
If the Flamenco is a symbol of passionate Spain as well as bullfighting, the courage of its individuals, the fiesta is Spain society’s symbol of merriment as well as pageantry. Spanish carnivals are held in honor of a patron saint. Commonly, an area may have greater than one patron saint, and every one of them need to have a fiesta provided in their honor.
Food is an usual sight throughout this element of Spain culture. It is right here that you will certainly get a peek of the diversity of Spanish cuisine. Although essentially a religious event, the Spanish feast also has its pagan origins, a representation of Spain’s neighborhood very early customized that was tided over the centuries. | <urn:uuid:25b38187-2e7b-458e-8fed-a9cc575349fa> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,891 |
His death occurred in 528 B.C., as we have a Babylonian tablet from the Adar of the tenth year of Cyrus, i.e.
These academies were organized on both scholastic and popular lines; their constitution was democratic. An outstanding feature was the Kallah assemblage twice a year (in Elul at the close of the summer, and in Adar at the end of the winter), when there were gathered together vast numbers of outside students of the most heterogeneous character as regards both age and attainments.
David Brandeis of Jung-Bunzlau in Bohemia was saved from an accusation of poisoning on the 10th of Adar 1731, and instituted a similar family Purim celebration in consequence.
The Jews of Frankfort celebrate their special Purim on the 10th of Adar because of their deliverance from persecution by Fettmilch in 1616.
In the spring when the succulent ashub and adar grow plentifully in the desert, they go for weeks without drinking.
Zimmern indeed connects the Akitu festival with 'that of Purim on the 15th Adar (March); see K.A.T.
Thus the Jews of Cairo celebrated Purim on the 28th of Adar in memory of their being miraculously saved from the persecution of Ahmed Pasha in 1524. | <urn:uuid:2c107b2c-a5c1-417d-90a0-b099b1f0794a> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,172 |
GRK 1483/2: Process Chains in Production: Interaction Modelling and Assessment of Process Zones
The importance of simulation for manufacturing engineering has risen over the past years. The vision of multi-scale and multi-process simulation promises major competitive advantages not only in factory and production planning, but also in product engineering. These advantages result from complex experimental studies for the identification of process parameters becoming redundant and from a significant reduction of product development times.
Strategies for the simulation of single isolated manufacturing processes are already highly advanced and have been widely and successfully implemented. Before simulation-based production process development can become a reality, though, two crucial development steps are yet to be completed: It must be possible to
1. link simulation steps so that entire process chains can be simulated with a high degree of reliability, and,
2. transfer the primary simulation result, i.e. the component condition, into a reliable prognosis for component behaviour under operating conditions.

The term aquaculture defines the set of activities aimed at the controlled production of aquatic organisms. Specifically, it can be distinguished in fish farming, shellfish farming, crustaceans and algiculture.
If responsibly developed and practiced, it will be able to make a significant contribution to global food security and economic growth.
The exploitation of fish resources, the theme of animal welfare, as well as the problem of product safety and quality and consequently the safeguarding of the marine environment, have led the EU Commission to define the requirements for organic aquaculture.
Since July 2010, Reg. No. 710/2009 has entered into force in Europe, modifying EC Regulation 889/08, introducing the technical rules for organic aquaculture.
A great opportunity for European aquaculture that, to tackle a very competitive and globalized market, must inevitably focus on production systems that guarantee a high level of product quality and maximum respect for the environment.
In addition to animal welfare, organic aquaculture also pays special attention to environmental problems, by verifying the quality of the places where breeding takes place.
The feed used must meet specific nutritional requirements. Fish flours and oils can be used if they come from fishing waste and, in any case, in a context of certified sustainable fishing.
Animal health management must aim at disease prevention. In addition, significant limitations are imposed on the use of feed materials and cleaning and disinfection products.
The fish produced from organic aquaculture has high organoleptic qualities and is obtained without the use of GMOs.
Organic certification helps reduce the company’s impact on the environment and in many cases protects delicate habitats.
European legislation also includes criteria for the biological cultivation of seaweed. The collection of wild marine algae in areas of high ecological quality (Directive 2000/60/EC) also constitutes an organic production method provided that this activity does not harm the long-term stability of the natural habitat or the protection of species in the area of collection.
With EU Reg 673/2016, spirulina was included in the item “algae and microalgae” and included in reg 834/07 and 889/08.
Therefore all the technical means that they want to use in the production must be admitted by the reg 889/08. | <urn:uuid:5c95fccb-0d9f-48ae-aa1c-86ad1fd5470e> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,373 |
The train tracks of a heritage railway in the Staffordshire Moorlands caught fire when a gas pipe ignited.
The main under the Churnet Valley Railway ruptured causing gas to rise to the surface and ignite when it was caught by a spark from a passing train.
The train arrived and the station and passengers were forced to get off.
Three crews, from Leek, Cheadle, and Longton , consisting of 15 firefighters were forced to catch the train from Froghall Railway Station because the fire was in a remote location three quarters of a mile away from the road.
It had spread to leaves and bushes on the embankment.
Crews had to dampen down the area once the blaze was out to prevent it reigniting and spreading. Gas engineers attended the scene but could not work on the site until the main was safe.
Station Manager Mark Walchester from Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: “We established a command post at Cheddleton Station where there was a diesel engine, which proved a better option for transporting personnel and equipment.
“We worked together with the gas engineers and the train operator in order to extinguish the fire. This was a difficult incident to deal with owing to the remote location and the continuous flow of gas through the pipe. We worked closely with the engineers to deal with the incident as safely and quickly as possible.
“We would like to thank staff at Cheddleton Station for supporting fire service personnel with transportation and refreshments throughout the duration of the incident.”
Gas engineers notified local residents of the interruption to their supply before excavating the gas mains, which stopped the leak and enabled the fire to be extinguished at 10.50pm.

Save the Planet and Your Wallet by installing a Heat-pump
On the 13th October, the Maltese Government announced a 40% subsidy (grant) on heat-pumps also known as Air Source Water Heaters, which are a more efficient alternative to the traditional geysers. In fact geysers are said to use 3 to 4 times the consumption of a heat-pump, making the heat-pump a very efficient way to heat up water. The heat-pump uses the refrigeration cycle to heat water which is the same process of a normal air-condition, however it is on heating mode (reverse cycle of cooling). This time instead of heating up the air, it is heating up the water.
The 40% subsidy (grant) with a maximum of €400 will be administered by the water and energy regulator (REWS). The subsidy is being offered because the equipment is a more efficient way to heat water as compared to traditional water heating systems.
BT Commercial has been on the market for a good number of years, which makes them a well experienced company specializing in alternative energy products, which include heat pumps and solar products.
GREE have mainly two Energy class A efficient heat pumps, the Integral Heat Pump and the Juno Heat Pump. Both these highly-efficient heat pumps have an expected life span of approximately 10 years and if bought from BT Commercial you are entitled to 5 years full product guarantee. Terms and conditions apply.
The Benefits of Heat Pumps are the following:
- High Efficiency and Energy Saving
- Benefit from lower running costs
- Safe and reliable – safer than combustion based systems.
- can provide cooling if needed by directing the output through ducting
- Intelligent Control, the heat-pump learns the users habitual use of hot water. | <urn:uuid:44db4fe3-58f4-403b-98c3-93a81812377b> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,715 |
Extended COVID-19 shutdowns across the country are forcing consumers to allocate their food spending differently in recent weeks as restaurant dining areas remain closed. The National Restaurant Association reports eating and drinking places registered sales of just $32.4 billion on a seasonally-adjusted basis in April, according to preliminary data from the US Census Bureau.
April’s total was less than half of the $65.4 billion in sales that were rung up in February. And represented the smallest volume since March 2005 in nominal terms. However, when adjusted for inflation, consumer spending at eating and drinking places was at its lowest level since October 1984.
Many restaurants are still in operation offering takeout and delivery options but those options offer only a fraction of sales from on-premises traffic, the association said.
Added to March totals, which fell roughly $20 billion short of what would normally be expected, sales at eating and drinking place establishments were off more than $52 billion in the two months.
Furthermore, the plunge in spending over the past two months at non-restaurant foodservice operations in the lodging, arts/entertainment/recreation, education, healthcare and retail sectors, and the total shortfall in restaurant and foodservice sales approached $80 billion during the last two months alone. | <urn:uuid:63da4ed6-e223-41e0-835f-3e4385a07f2f> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,352 |
Getting our daily dose of fiber is something we as adults think about as we get older. But fiber is as important for children, too. Often, children don't get enough.
Fibrous plant material that can't be digested by humans and is found in nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain foods—is one thing that's lacking in lots of children's diets.
Short-term problems like constipation and gastrointestinal distress are common complaints that may be improved by a high-fiber diet. Risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and certain types of cancer may be decreased by a diet with adequate fiber.
The American Dietetic Association recommends a simple rule of thumb: The total number of fiber grams a child should consume each day should equal the child's age plus 5, starting at age 2. A 6-year-old, therefore, should have 11 grams of fiber a day.
Keep your peel on. A baked potato with skin has around 3-5 grams of fiber—only 0.2 grams without.
Whole-grain foods have more fiber than refined, where the germ and hull have been removed.
Be creative. Top ice cream with fresh fruit; add wheat germ to pancake batter or meatloaf; add veggies to kid's favorite meals; add carrot shreds to lasagna, spaghetti sauce, chili or peanut butter; burgers and mashed potatoes are also great with added veggies like zucchini or carrot shreds.
Pass the peanut butter. Two tablespoons have about 2 grams of fiber. Spread some on an unpeeled apple for about 5-6 grams of fiber.
Steam your vegetables lightly to leave them crunchy. Boiling "leaches out" soluble fiber and some other valuable nutrients, leaving less in your food. Fresh and frozen vegetables have more fiber than canned.
Eat your beans. Pork and beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, lentils, and black-eyed peas all are excellent fiber sources.
Let children pick and help prepare. They're more likely to eat their fruits and vegetables when you give them some choice.
Snack smart. Five cups of air-popped corn have about 7 grams of fiber (use butter and salt substitutes). | <urn:uuid:e64dd7e0-103a-406b-8506-386e2c3f5231> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,034 |
Looking a bit like earthly thunderheads, a white band of high-altitude clouds emerge above the colorful, swirling patterns of Jupiter in a photo taken last summer by NASA’s Juno spacecraft. Jupiter, the solar system’s largest planet, has no Earth-like surface. Instead of an outer crust, the gas giant consists mainly of hydrogen and helium that condenses into liquid the deeper you go, all wrapped in an atmosphere of clouds made up of ammonia ice, ammonium hydrosulfide crystals and ice water vapor.
Measurements taken by Juno suggest the atmosphere extends nearly 2,000 miles below the gaseous surface. The solar-powered spacecraft eased into a 53-day orbit around Jupiter in 2016 for a mission expected to last into 2021.

In this tutorial I will show you how to classify text with SVM in R.
The main steps to classify text in R are:
- Create a new RStudio project
- Install the required packages
- Read the data
- Prepare the data
- Create and train the SVM model
- Predict with new data
Step 1: Create a new RStudio Project
To begin with, you will need to download and install the RStudio development environment.
Once you installed it, you can create a new project by clicking on "Project: (None)" at the top right of the screen :
This will open the following wizard, which is pretty straightforward:
Now that the project is created, we will add a new R Script:
You can save this script, by giving the name you wish, for instance "Main"
Step 2: Install the required packages
To easily classify text with SVM, we will use the RTextTools package.
In RStudio, on the right side, you can see a tab named "Packages", select id and then click "Install R packages"
This will open a popup, you now need to enter the name of the package RTextTools.
Once it is installed, it will appear on the package list. Check it to load it in the environment.
Step 3: Read the data
For this tutorial we will use a very simple data set (click to download).
With just a few lines of R, we load the data in memory:
# Load the data from the csv file dataDirectory <- "D:/" # put your own folder here data <- read.csv(paste(dataDirectory, 'sunnyData.csv', sep=""), header = TRUE)
Step 4: Prepare the data
The data has two columns: Text and IsSunny.
We will need to convert it to a Document Term Matrix.
To understand what a document term matrix is or to learn more about the data set, you can read: How to prepare your data for text classification ?
The RTextTools package provides a powerful way to generate document term matrix with the create_matrix function:
# Create the document term matrix dtMatrix <- create_matrix(data["Text"])
Typing the name of the matrix in the console, shows us some interesting facts :
For instance, the sparsity can help us decide whether we should use a linear kernel.
Step 5: Create and train the SVM model
In order to train a SVM model with RTextTools, we need to put the document term matrix inside a container. In the container's configuration, we indicate that the whole data set will be the training set.
# Configure the training data container <- create_container(dtMatrix, data$IsSunny, trainSize=1:11, virgin=FALSE) # train a SVM Model model <- train_model(container, "SVM", kernel="linear", cost=1)
The code above trains a new SVM model with a linear kernel.
- both the create_container and train_model methods are RTextTools methods.
Under the hood, RTextTools uses the e1071 package which is a R wrapper around libsvm;
- the virgin=FALSE argument is here to tell RTextTools not to save an analytics_virgin-class object inside the container. This parameter does not interest us now but is required by the function.
Step 6: Predict with new data
Now that our model is trained, we can use it to make new predictions !
We will create new sentences which were not in the training data:
# new data predictionData <- list("sunny sunny sunny rainy rainy", "rainy sunny rainy rainy", "hello", "", "this is another rainy world")
Before continuing, let's check the new sentences :
- "sunny sunny sunny rainy rainy"
This sentence talks more about the sunny weather than the rainy. We expect it to be classified as sunny (+1).
- "rainy sunny rainy rainy"
This sentence talks more about the rainy weather than the sunny. We expect it to be classified as rainy (-1).
This sentence has no word, it should return either +1 or -1 in function of the decision boundary.
This sentence has a word which was not present in the training set. It will be equivalent to ""
- "this is another rainy world"
This sentence has several worlds not in the training set, and the word rainy. It is equivalent to the sentence "rainy" and should be classified "-1"
We create a document term matrix for the test data:
# create a prediction document term matrix predMatrix <- create_matrix(predictionData, originalMatrix=dtMatrix)
Notice that this time we provided the originalMatrix as a parameter. This is because we want the new matrix to use the same vocabulary as the training matrix.
Without this indication, the function will create a document term matrix using all the words of the test data (rainy, sunny, hello, this, is, another, world). It means that each sentence will be represented by a vector containing 7 values (one for each word) !
Such a matrix won't be compatible with the model we trained earlier because it expect vectors containing 2 values (one for rainy, one for sunny).
We now create the container:
# create the corresponding container predSize = length(predictionData); predictionContainer <- create_container(predMatrix, labels=rep(0,predSize), testSize=1:predSize, virgin=FALSE)
Two things are different:
- we use a zero vector for labels, because we want to predict them
- we specified testSize instead of trainingSize so that the data will be used for testing
Eventually, we can make predictions:

As expected the first sentence has been classified as sunny and the second and last one as rainy.
We can also see that the third and fourth sentences ("hello" and "") have been classified as rainy, but the probability is only 52% which means our model is not very confident on these two predictions.

It was really pretty neat to see the Hogwarts Castle from the book set in real life. Although I'm really a new convert to the books, I feel like they really did a good job on bringing the books to life in the park. While I've not seen the movies, I feel like the representations were pretty accurate to the books. I would've liked a few more rides in the Harry Potter World areas, but I think the ones that are there were done quite well. | <urn:uuid:9799c087-f0bf-4f91-888d-ee9bb7ca423d> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 598 |
It was recently brought to my attention that I haven't made my "farewell" post yet. For those not in the loop, November was my last month at work, and December 19th was my COS date. So yeah, I'm done. Despite having internet access the whole week before then, I neglected to write anything here. Leave it to me to wait until I'm in the airport getting ready to leave, dead-tired because it's nearly 1 in the morning.
The past 3 years have changed my life. Deeply. So deeply, in fact, that I can't bring myself to write about it. Maybe after Christmas, when I'm home and I'm caught up on sleep. You'd think 2 days in a 5-star beach resort in Dubai would revitalize you, but I was there on Friday night. December 21st. Which was notoriously marked as an "End of the World!!!" date. So yeah, I went out to an "End of the World!!!" party. Was it worth the 120 AED (about $32 USD) I spent on 3 beers? Probably not. But who stays in their hotel room on a Friday night in Dubai? Nobody does that. | <urn:uuid:88714139-7595-40bb-a87d-0e7de41762bb> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 989 |

Operation Canned Meat and Its Derivatives
“Mundus vult decipi” (“the world wants to be deceived”)
Martin Luther (1483-1546)
Item: On the evening of 31 August 1939, members of the S.S. took a concentration camp prisoner, Franciszek Honiok, to a German radio station in Gleiwitz (now Gliwice), on the border with Poland. S.S. operatives then broadcast a message in Polish urging Poles living in Silesia to attack Germans. After administering a lethal injection to Honiok, the operatives shot the corpse to simulate his having been shot while attacking the radio station. The German government invited police officials and the members of the press corps to view Honiok’s corpse as evidence of a Polish attack. As the S.S. referred to concentration camp inmates used for this purpose as “canned goods,” the operation became known to history (once it was revealed during the Nuremberg Tribunal) as “Operation Canned Meat.”
Item: During the late 1940s through the mid-1950s, the Strategic Air Command ordered RB-29s, RB-36s, and RB-47s into Soviet air space, ostensibly to test Soviet air defenses and reconnoiter defense installations. The appearance of those aircraft being identical to their nuclear weapon-equipped stable mates, it raises the question of precisely what the United States government intended, given that the country whose sovereignty was being violated by military aircraft was nuclear armed, declared hostile, and presumed to be paranoid. Stalin was in power at this time.
Item: On 13 March 1962, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Lyman Lemnitzer, submitted a document to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. It proposed as part of an anti-Castro program (Operation Mongoose), staging the assassinations of Cubans living in the United States, developing a fake “Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington,” including “sink[ing] a boatload of Cuban refugees (real or simulated),” faking a Cuban air force attack on a civilian jetliner, and fabricating a major incident by blowing up a U.S. ship in Cuban waters and blaming the incident on Cuban sabotage. The attack on the jetliner was an elaborate false-flag operation that involved unmanned drones. The specific plan was dropped; however, covert operations under the rubric of Mongoose continued. These included poisoning the Cuban sugar cane fields.
Item: On 5 August 1964, President Johnson announced in an address to the nation that U.S. naval vessels on routine patrol were attacked on the high seas by North Vietnamese forces. He thereupon ordered bombing attacks on North Vietnam. Subsequently, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (78 Stat. 384), officially recognizing the presumed fact and authorizing use of military force. The North Vietnamese attacks, however, were apparently imaginary. And the ships in question were covering South Vietnamese fast boats on raids into North Vietnamese territorial waters; the operation was known as OPLAN 34-A. Daniel Ellsberg, who was on duty at the Pentagon the night of the incident, claims the U.S. vessels were on a so-called DeSoto mission inside territorial waters to probe North Vietnamese radars.
Item: According to a British government memo seen by Phillipe Sands, a Queen’s Council and professor of international law at University College, London, discussions between the President of the United States and the British Prime Minister prior to the invasion of Iraq included discussion of provocations. The President told the Prime Minister that “the U.S. was so worried about the failure to find hard evidence against Saddam that it thought of ‘flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft planes with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colors.’” The evident intent was to provoke a military reaction, justifying an invasion.
Item: For more than a year, the press has reported, with gauzy and anonymous sourcing, the overflights of U.S. reconnaissance drones within the Islamic Republic of Iran. The apparent hope of the authors of these operations is that the Iranians would turn on their radars. We also hear stories of special operations into that country, courtesy of the irrepressible Seymour Hersh. New York Times reporter James Risen recounts in his book State of War (published January 2006) the intriguing tale of a U.S. attempt to plant a bogus nuclear bomb recipe on the Iranians–a plan that backfired. There is also the tale of a “found” Iranian laptop brimming with nuclear secrets. Why do one’s thoughts turn to Ahmed Chalabi, Michael Ledeen, and Yellowcake? And there is this latest bulletin, an obscure Reuters dispatch, reproduced in full below.
What are we to conclude from this tour d’horizon of history’s dark crevices? We can hardly guess at the implications. Some incidents led to horrifying carnage; some fizzled out; one at least is indeterminate as of this writing. And for every incident like those recounted here, how many others have gone unrecorded?
Looking back on our historical period from the perspective of geological time, some ethereal intelligence might disdainfully surmise that the then-dominant species, being after all merely a belligerent primate, had devised deceitful behavior in order to give rise to incidents allowing him to vent his primitive aggressive impulses. At the same time, he could beat his chest in simian rage about being the aggrieved party.
That is speculation. But man, the naked ape, has occasionally risen above his degraded condition to make more cerebral conclusions than the norm. In 1946, the Nuremberg Tribunal deposed the perpetrator of Operation Canned Meat, S.S. Sturmbannfuhrer (Major) Alfred Naujocks, who testified to his role in the incident. Hearing of such outrages against the peace, the chief prosecutor at the tribunal, Justice Robert Jackson, was moved to say this:
"We must make clear to the Germans that the wrong for which their leaders are on trial is not that they lost the war, but that they started it. And we must not allow ourselves to be drawn into a trial of the causes of the war, for our position is that no grievances or policies will justify resort to aggressive war. It is utterly renounced and condemned as an instrument of policy."
And again this:
“Let me make clear that while this law is first applied against German aggressors, the law, if it is to serve a useful purpose, must condemn aggression by any other nations, including those which sit here now in judgment. We are able to do away with domestic tyranny and violence and aggression by those in power against the rights of their own people only when we make all men answerable to the law.”
WERTHER is the pen name of a Northern Virginia-based defense analyst.
In his Air University (and thus quasi-official) 225-page tome, A Need to Know: The Role of Air Force Reconnaissance in War Planning, 1945-1953, author John Thomas Farquhar, Lt. Col., USAF (Ret.) claims that he can find no documentation of such flights (page 162, footnote 18). How odd that a retired SAC pilot, Col. Hal Austin, posted a story on the internet asserting he flew such a mission in an RB-47.
And Walter Boyne, the unofficial bard of the world’s most expensive flying club, states in Air Force Magazine, the journal of the Air Force Association, that more than 200 SAC pilots were killed in shoot-downs over or on the periphery of Soviet air space:
That the United States government was thinking so far ahead, at a period when airplane hijackings were virtually unheard of, may be of interest to scholars on the subject of airline security and may enrich their understanding of the hijacking phenomenon.

Iran shells Kurd positions in Iraq: Kurd official
Fri Apr 21, 2006 7:16 AM ET
SULAIMANIYA, Iraq (Reuters) – Iranian forces shelled Iranian Kurdish guerrilla positions inside mountainous northern Iraq early on Friday morning to repel an attack, a Kurdish official said.
"This morning Iranian Kurdish fighters infiltrated the border into the Iranian side and the Iranian army bombed the area and repelled them. The shelling hit Iraqi land at Sidakan," said Saadi Pira, an official of the Iraqi Kurdish, Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, party.
There was no word on casualties in the shelling of the Iranian Kurdish rebels of the PJAK movement. | <urn:uuid:0328055c-f658-49e4-b979-fc5f982748c4> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 8,372 |
From “Growing in the character of a disciple”: Chapter 2 – A closer look at how God develops us as disciples
Being a genuine disciple of Jesus Christ does bring you peace. However, that means in the Hebrew sense of being at peace within, or despite, difficult circumstances. The peace that Jesus gives us does not mean the absence of such difficulties.
The Hebrew word for peace is ‘Shalom’. It is very different in meaning from the Greek word for peace, from which we get the girls’ name ‘Irene’. Shalom is a much broader and deeper word. It involves deep, overall wholesomeness, contentment, success and prosperity. One can experience Shalom even in the midst of severe difficulty or conflict.
It is a much deeper and more far reaching concept than what is meant by the Greek word from which we get the word Irene. The Greek concept of peace, which has been adopted by the entire Western world, simply means the absence of war, conflict, hostility etc. That is a very narrow definition of peace.
So, a person can have peace in the sense of Shalom even in the midst of war, famine, conflict, persecution etc. But there would still not be peace in the Greek sense, i.e. ‘Irene’. In short, Jesus does promise His disciples that it is possible to achieve Shalom type peace. But He does not promise Irene type peace.
Jesus spoke of us needing to take up our own cross, i.e. to carry a metaphorical cross and follow Him. He actually said this long before he Himself had to carry a cross. He was, evidently, referring to the many other people who were publicly crucified by the Romans. It was a regular sight. The image of someone carrying a cross would therefore have been familiar to His listeners before they ever saw Him having to do it.
The image is of each disciple preparing to die and being willing to put his own flesh to death in order to follow Jesus. That is a valid expression of what life as a Christian can sometimes be. It is not all easy and ‘peaceful’, i.e. in the Greek sense of peace:
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. 37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.Matthew 10:34-39 (ESV)
It is important to get our expectations right as we enter the Christian life as a new believer. Too many of us have been given a false impression of Christianity by churches which try to present an attractive, positive image of what being a Christian is like. Therefore they make no mention of sacrifice, hardship, obedience, self-denial and so on. Those aspects of the Christian life are not seen as being easily marketable. They fear that to tell the plain truth about what the Bible actually says about being a disciple may put people off. But we have no right to alter or ‘improve’ the message so as to get more people to accept Christianity. If we do that we are just creating a false gospel and are not helping anybody. Any leader who preaches a lukewarm, easy gospel is not seeking to make disciples. He is just looking for more members for his church, without any regard as to whether or not they are becoming real and mature followers of Jesus. | <urn:uuid:4337d1d6-14b4-4aba-ab77-e116a6089be4> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 3,584 |
Summer Thirst-Busters There is nothing ambiguous about thirst. Summer breeds it like heat and mosquitos. Busting that parched feeling is not something you want to entrust to a glass of water. No, the best prescription is a great-tasting drink that's guaranteed to wash away both the thirst and the troubles of the day. When you find a drink like that, etch a recipe in the bar top and make it the specialty of the house. One option is to take a few years off from the job and travel the globe ...

Allegra is a female Valorian. She was found on a refuge ship by Prime. Instead of shooting plasma blasts from their hands like the men do, she has the ability to stretch her form and turn indestructible. She has silver skin and is Jack's best friend. It is believed Jack and Allegra could possibly have romantic feelings for each other. Allegra is afraid and shy in the first book because of her past with the Rustov. She is much more courageous in the second book. In the Third book she is infected by the Rustov but is saved by Jack. | <urn:uuid:ad467efa-60eb-404a-808e-a9aa2ae5886e> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 535 |
Birds, bugs and beans all benefit from the biodiversity surrounding shade-grown coffee
The Tennessee warbler is a small, greenish-yellow songbird native to Canada (what?) and it just loves coffee. Not just any coffee though— the robusta stuff that grows on sunny hillsides isn’t even close to a substitute for the bird’s favorite Coffea arabica. Even if you’re a coffee aficionado yourself, you’re probably not flying down to South American coffee plantations every year like the warblers do, although admittedly, they’re yet to have even a single sip of fresh brewed beans. The birds are there because a well-maintained coffee plantation is the heart of their winter ecosystem, much to benefit of us all.
Living better, together
Tennessee warblers, tanagers, orioles and 39 other species of North American birds migrate each year to Central and South America hoping to find a spot in the diverse and protective environments of “shade-grown” coffee farms. Arabica coffee plants really don’t like more than a few hours of sun a day, and so the best way to grow them is to plant them as an understory under taller canopy trees. In addition to providing shade, the taller trees will also help fight erosion, help with water quality and even enrich soil. When leaves and branches fall to the ground, that material biodegrades back into the soil which reduces the need for additional fertilizers, making the coffee cultivation just a bit easier.
The biodiversity helps cut down on the need for pesticide use too. The variety of trees, flowers and other flora attracts a range of birds, frogs, insects and even mammals. In the case of the birds, they’re wintering around the coffee with the goal of fattening up, so they diligently eat up as many worms and caterpillars as they can, helping protect the plants. Tennessee warblers in particular will sometimes also eat nectar and fruit, and in the process spread seeds, further encouraging the local ecosystem.
Beans in bulk
The alternative to this diverse and sustainable system is sun-grown coffee, which needs a lot more intervention on the part of humans. In the 1990s, farmers started growing hybrid arabica plants that could survive more sun exposure, and they’d plant them in homogeneous rows, clearing out other plants in the process. It was considered more efficient to bulk up production this way, but these plantations require a lot more fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and more to keep things running, to say nothing of how this kind of farming leaves nothing for birds or other beneficial species.
At this point, nearly half the coffee acreage in the world produces “sun coffee,” but it’s certainly not your only option out there (which is good because since when is your morning coffee optional?) Ask your favorite brewer how their plants are sourced, and if you have any kind of doubt, you can look for shade-certification from the Rainforest Alliance or the Bird Friendly mark from the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (many of which are conveniently sorted and listed at Honest Grounds.com). In addition to providing a haven for biodiversity, it’s also a sign of some tasty coffee beans that have been able to grow in the shade, just like they like to.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments repair imperfections such as telangiectasias and redness associated with rosacea, lentigos(sun/age spots) and hemangiomas. The treatments are ideal for patients with active lifestyles. Treatments are quick, gentle, and non-invasive. The result is overall more even, luminous, and younger skin.
IPL uses a unique long pulsewidth that delivers energy to the skin over a relatively long period of time without overheating the epidermis. This makes the pulses safer and more comfortable. You may experience a feeling similar to that of a rubber band being snapped on the skin, but most people do not report this sensation as painful. You may experience temporary redness and a mild “sunburn”- like effect that may last a few hours to a few days.
Treatments are typically repeated every 3-4 weeks for 3-5 sessions until all desired redness or brown spots are gone.

The wind whispered in his ear as he tried to pull his cloak tighter against the cold. Had he imagined the voice? Or were they really here?
The sky was clear, and the late autumn pattern of stars shine down brightly. A burst of wind tried to knock him over and another one pushed him up. The voices grew clearer as the winds strengthened. Soon a cacophony of voices overwhelmed him.
Just as suddenly as they arrived, they were silenced. A much stronger presence surrounded him, swirling without knocking him over. A lone voice reached him from this solitary wind. Greetings were exchanged, and then conversation began in earnest. The winter winds had returned.
Later, he returned to his home. Inside, the glow and warmth of the fire eased his chill as he worked to loosen his wraps. His partner, the mother of his new-born child, looked up at him from the table. “They have come back?” The apprehension was evident in her voice.
“And they repeated the message from the end of last winter. This season will be harsher.”
“So the council was wrong.”
“Yes. The people will not have enough food or wood to see all of them through.”
“What will we do?”
He already knew the answer. There was only one way.
“You and our boy must stay inside. No one has seen you in months. I have already told everyone you have returned to your family for a visit, and they do not know he exists. Keep him secure in the cellar. Our supplies down there will last. But if anyone finds out, they will take them from us. You both will die. So stay here. Hide in the cellar when you must.”
“And you?” But her tone said she already knew.
“I must be seen. And all must believe I suffer as they do.”
She bit her lip, presumably to keep from objecting.
“It is the only way go keep him safe. And he will need at least one of his parents to guide him. I have been too vocal to disappear now. If I… do not survive the winter, you must tell him about the winds. He will need to know.”

Konami are promising a completely original storyline, and all-new haunting soundtrack as players find themselves stranded in the foggy, malevolent world of Silent Hill.
Silent Hill: Downpour starts as Murphy Pendleton, the game's main character, finds himself lost and alone in the woods after his prison transport bus crashes near the town of Silent Hill. What happens after is up to the player as they traverse an all-new Silent Hill environment that is expansive, yet claustrophobic. And though this sleepy town may feel desolate, the player is never truly alone.
Screenshots show highly detailed environments of the new Silent Hill, where seedy pasts and uncertain futures unify to create to a terrifying present. Included within is a sneak preview of the town, as well as two all-new environments: The Diner and The Devil's Pit.
Also released today is a ninety second sample of in-game music that is composed by Daniel Licht -- Silent Hill: Downpour's Music Composer -- who also scores the music for the hit Showtime series, "Dexter".Download the 90 second Silent Hill Audio Clip

On short notice I'll be in Vancouver this Sunday and Monday evening. Looking for great food, not worried much about budget, and need a place where I can eat alone (ie no romantic hideaways)and dinner won't last three hours. Over a decade ago I had great meals at Bishop's and Tojo's. A fellow hound says Tojo's has gone way downhill, and Vij's now has must-eat status. Any thoughts?

The American Founding has principles that are rooted in historical documents such as the Declaration of Independence. For example, Individual Liberty, Limited Government, Rule of law, Popular Sovereignty, and Federalism. The primary principals show, “that all people are created equal…fundamental rights, such as liberty, free speech, freedom of religion, due process of law, and freedom of assembly.”(Hutchins et al.; “The American Founders and Their Relevance Today”) Individuals liberties in the Declaration of Independence emphasize the unalienable right’s like life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. In todays governement, there is an argument about if the new policy’s and actions are inconsistent with the Founders of The United States. I believe the role of parties has made the current governement inconsistent with the principles of Americans founding, because the expansion of federal government. This can be seen in the principals of Limited government as outlined in the Constitution the creation of checks and balances to prevent concentration of power in any one branch. Each party, Democrat or Republican, has its own influence and set views on role and size of the government. While yes there is consistency with the party most of the time there is no consistency with issues in the America. A principal that is very controversial today between both parties is federalism but the founders established this system to divide powers between national and state governments. This was aimed to have balance between centralized and authority and local autonym but both parties have different views on this not leading to inconsistency from the founders establishment. While, “every generation “rediscovers” the American Founders and interprets them for its own age.”(“The American Founders and Their Relevance Today”) shows the inconsistency that was built from the beginning to have one purpose and goal to not be altered. The following issues that are far from the founding’s and consistently changing are government intervention in health care, enviromental policies, and freedom debates. While the government and parties are subjective and influenced by the public with new perspectives and values of the founding principals this continues the ongoing discussion about the fidelity to the founders vision in the contemporary context.

On September 23, 2008, in the U.S. Congressional Rayburn House Office Building (RHOB), speakers in a panel discussion sponsored by the Counterterrorism Blog (CTB) and the New America Foundation (NAF) spun fractured fairytales about Jihad and the need for America to "engage" with proponents of Islamic supremacism. (I previously wrote a background article on this subject entitled "Jihad and the Growing Surrender of American Counterterrorism.")
The September 23 panel discussion topic was "The Jihadists' Revolt Against Al Qaeda" based on a New Republic article co-written by Peter Bergen and Paul Cruickshank. The speakers on the panel were: Peter Bergen of the "liberal think tank" New America Foundation, Counterterrorism Blog contributing experts Paul Cruickshank and Evan Kohlmann, and the Quilliam Foundation's Maajid Nawaz. The audience at this panel discussion included foreign policy analysts, counterterrorism analysts, the Saudi Arabia press, and a representative from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Per the Bergen/Cruickshank New Republic article, the focus of the discussion by most of the panelists was that disagreements over tactics between Al-Qaeda and other Jihadist and Islamic supremacist (aka "Islamist") groups was "making Americans safer," and the idea that Americans should "engage" with "Islamist" groups to promote peace. Bergen, Cruickshank, and Kohlmann addressed details on how Al-Qaeda bombing tactics (resulting in the death of other Muslims) have alienated Al-Qaeda from other Jihadists.
One attendee in the audience asked the obvious question: "Isn't this just a PR problem for Al-Qaeda that they can solve by simply killing just Americans [i.e., non-Muslims]?" Predictably, the panelists waffled on answering this question, stating that it was really more than a "PR problem," and moved on to reiterate the tactical differences between Al-Qaeda and other Jihadist groups, as if we didn't hear them the first time around.
Paul Cruickshank also offered the standard "regionalization" argument, stating that the "jihadist movement over the years has been very amorphous," representing different ideologies. This argument claims that because Jihadist groups in different regions of the world have different near-term tactical goals, we should ignore their overall shared ideology in Islamic supremacism. Moreover, Mr. Cruickshank failed to actually explain how such Jihadist groups have different "ideologies," but led the audience to believe it is a complex issue; the "complex issue" argument is used to avoid a direct answer on anything obvious, implying that Americans should leave such thinking to experts like himself. In fact, the root problem is that many in the counterterrorism community simply refuse to acknowledge the obvious basis of Jihadist actions in the ideology of Islamic supremacism.
Peter Bergen Calls for Engagement with Islamists (Again)
Peter Bergen, an internationally known journalist, professor, and speaker, has wide reach and influence in the war of ideas. Peter Bergen is a Schwartz senior fellow at the New America Foundation in Washington D.C., a research fellow at New York University's Center on Law and Security, and CNN's national security analyst. He has taught at John Hopkins University and at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Peter Bergen has also testified before numerous congressional committees.
Peter Bergen is also a leading proponent of surrender in the war of ideas. As Peter Bergen and Paul Cruickshank stated in their June 2008 New Republic article on Jihadists' conflicts with Al-Qaeda, "it is their ideas, not the West's, that matter." This article also claimed that Muslim Brotherhood leader Kamal El Helbawy was helping to recruit "moderates"; this is the same Kamal El Helbawy who was banned from entering the United States to attend a previous panel discussion on the Muslim Brotherhood attended by Peter Bergen and organized by Paul Cruickshank. It is also the same Muslim Brotherhood leader Kamal El Helbawy that Steven Emerson identified as a supporter of Hamas. This is the same Muslim Brotherhood whose motto is "Jihad is our way."
When it comes to such Islamic supremacist organizations (called political "Islamist" groups by foreign policy analysts), Peter Bergen has repeatedly called for America to "engage" with such groups. At another New American Foundation-sponsored event in Washington DC in September 2005, Peter Bergen recommended as counterterrorism "strategy" that America "engage with Islamists.... [who] are not our enemies and can even be our friends." (Reference, New America Foundation working papers, page 11).
At the September 23, 2008 Capitol Hill conference, Peter Bergen reiterated this position in surrendering in the war of ideas to Islamic supremacists, stating that a suggestion "not to engage with Islamists is ridiculous." Peter Bergen then made a moral equivalency between "Islamists" and Christian fundamentalists, stating "I am not a Christian fundamentalist, but I have some friends who are." His essential "moral equivalency" argument is that if he could have Christian fundamentalist friends, why shouldn't America engage with Islamists?
During this discussion on "Islamism," the ideology of "Islamism" was then equated with the ideology with Socialism, repeating the unsound Cold War thinking argument that an identity-based supremacist ideology is the same as a statist ideology (along with the illogical belief that tactical measures should be the same for dealing with such radically different ideologies.)
Evan Kohlmann Calls for Dialogue with the Muslim Brotherhood
Evan Kohlmann is also another internationally known and respected individual in the counterterrorism community, who has provided expert testimony in terror trials. He is a senior investigator with the Nine Eleven Finding Answers (NEFA) Foundation, and is also a terrorism analyst for NBC News.
At the September 23, 2008 conference, Evan Kohlmann spoke in detail about Muslim Brotherhood organizations in Iraq that have distanced themselves from Al-Qaeda because of Al-Qaeda's tactics in killing Iraqi Muslims, arguing that this could be part of a larger trend where "jihadists can turn against Al-Qaeda in a meaningful way."
Evan Kohlmann was then asked about his previous statement on the Muslim Brotherhood that "I won't hesitate in saying that I believe we must initiate some kind of dialogue with the [Muslim] Brotherhood, even if we don't support their overall agenda." At the September 23 conference, Evan Kohlmann confirmed that he has been speaking with representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood. Evan Kohlmann is well-aware that the motto of the Muslim Brotherhood is "Jihad is our Way." Moreover, Mr. Kohlmann is acutely aware of the evidence revealed in the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial that shows the Muslim Brotherhood plans to infiltrate and undermine America, as such Muslim Brotherhood memoranda are posted on the NEFA site where he is senior investigator.
Per the Muslim Brotherhood Mohamed Akram memorandum on the NEFA website (HLF Exhibit GX 3-85 -- "An Explanatory Memorandum: On the General Strategic Goal for the Group"), the Muslim Brotherhood clearly communicates the Ikhwan's ["Brotherhood"] goals to infiltrate and undermine America:
"The process of settlement is a 'Civilization-Jihadist Process' with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."
"As for the role of the Ikhwan, it is the initiative, pioneering, leadership, raising the banner and pushing people in that direction (the Jihadist process). They are then able to employ, direct, and unify Muslims' efforts and powers for this process. In order to do that, we must possess a master of the art of 'coalitions,' the art of 'absorption' and the principles of 'cooperation.'"
Evan Kohlmann clearly is aware of these goals of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. Yet in a tactically-centered discipline such as counterterrorism, defining the strategic enemy is not a priority. Therefore, identifying the identity-based supremacist nature of the Islamic supremacist ideology at the root of Jihad is not a priority. Without a focus on who the enemy is, what the enemy believes, and a strategy to combat it, such counterterrorism analysts focus on tactical measures that they believe will, in the short-term, prevent violence. At the same time, they surrender in the very war of ideas that enables Jihadist terrorism in the first place.
Evan Kohlmann justifies calls for discussions with the Muslim Brotherhood, not as a compromise, not as surrender in the war of ideas, but as a necessity. According to Evan Kohlmann, America frequently has to talk with groups that it might not like, but America has no choice other than to have a dialogue with the Muslim Brotherhood.
But America's leadership does have a choice whether or not to engage with the Muslim Brotherhood ("Jihad is our Way"). America can choose not to legitimize such Islamic supremacists, or any other identity-based supremacist ideology, by refusing to "engage" with them or by refusing to hold a "dialogue" with them.
What U.S. government organizations are seeking a dialogue with white supremacists, black supremacists, Neo-Nazi Aryan supremacists, and such ilk, as part of "counterterrorism" tactics? Who is speaking on Capitol Hill calling for engagement with white supremacist "political" groups to prevent Ku Klux Klan terrorism? Of course, anyone who did this would justifiably become an instant public pariah. But incredibly, there is no meaningful protest or condemnation when "experts" come to Capitol Hill telling Americans that they need to surrender in the war of ideas, and engage with Islamic supremacists to prevent Jihadist terrorism.
Yes, of course, America has a choice whether or not to legitimize Islamic supremacist groups. Furthermore, our proven history of success against terrorism in America has been based on not legitimizing such groups and by confronting them, rather than by "engaging" them.
Refusing to Condemn Jihad in Afghanistan and Iraq
In the Bergen/Cruickshank New Republic June 2008 article on Jihadists allegedly turning against Al-Qaeda, they use the often repeated example of Sayyed Imam Al-Sharif (aka Dr. Fadl) renouncing Al-Qaeda. They ignore that Al-Sharif defends Jihad in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Israel. They also ignore that Al-Sharif continues to support the Taliban, stating that "Jihad in Afghanistan will lead to the creation of an Islamic state with the triumph of the Taliban, God willing."
Nor was there condemnation of Al-Sharif's support for such Jihad among the September 23, 2008 panelists on Capitol Hill either. In a half-measure that spoke volumes, Quilliam Foundation leader Maajid Nawaz stated that Al-Sharif should not be condemned for his support for Jihad in Afghanistan and Iraq, but only for his continued support for "Islamism." Quilliam's Maajid Nawaz stated that the Geneva Convention gave Jihadists the right to defend themselves in "occupied lands," and should not be criticized.
Those not attending the September 23 conference would not be aware that three of the four panel speakers seeking to provide American legislators guidance on Jihad had British accents. Maajid Nawaz, a former member of Hizb ut-Tahrir who now denounces that group, is a British citizen. This European perspective does not view America's actions overseas as justifiable; this perspective does not care that it was the 9/11 attacks by Jihadists in Al-Qaeda camps supported by the Taliban in Afghanistan that served as the rationale for our war in Afghanistan. As a result, we have such "counterterrorism experts" at Capitol Hill defending the rights of Jihadists according to the Geneva Convention. In addition, the panel discussion also included Evan Kohlmann responding to a DHS attendee on how to better prepare America against Islamic supremacist "radicalization" by stating "don't invade foreign countries." The general consensus among the panelists seemed to be that America's efforts against Jihad in other countries are wrong.
Maajid Nawaz's support for what is popularly called "defensive Jihad" was discouraging, but not surprising. Regrettably, the message of Maajid Nawaz's Quilliam Foundation organization lacks consistency. At the September 23 conference, Maajid Nawaz did condemn the ideology of Islamism and called for "values-based engagement" regarding Islamism, but he was unable to condemn the Jihadist actions of its adherents in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Quilliam Foundation struggles with the challenge of trying to be against Islamism, yet sufficiently attractive to a broad range of British Muslims, and ends up not accomplishing either completely. Thus its leaders end up being caught in the middle of having to justify promoting Hezbollah-supporting Egyptian Mufti Gomaa, defending Usama Hassan's "support [of] a just Caliphate based on the Prophetic model" (the same words used by Al-Qaeda's As-Sahab) as being "secular," and encouraging British Muslims to reform Sharia law to protect British Muslim women rather than simply promoting support of equality under British law. As then seen in the September 23 conference, while Maajid Nawaz condemned Islamism, he then defended the rights of Jihadists in Afghanistan and Iraq under the Geneva Convention. It is sad to see.
Moreover, such unwillingness to condemn non-Al-Qaeda Jihadist actions in Afghanistan and Iraq was shared by other members of the September 23 conference panel.
Paul Cruickshank: Support for Jihad is Merely One's "Politics"
Counterterror analyst Paul Cruickshank presented an NBC video interview with Hanif Qadir as an example of a "de-radicalized" British Muslim. Mr. Cruickshank pointed out, however, that Americans might not like "his politics," which turn out to be Hanif Qadir's condemnation of the American war efforts against Jihadists in Afghanistan.
In the video interview, Hanif Qadir admits to providing significant financial donations through a member of the Taliban who was allegedly raising money for "Afghan war victims." In December 2002 as a result of his donations, Hanif Qadir was then recruited by alleged Al-Qaeda individuals (who he previously describes as "Taliban") to go to a Pakistan Jihadist training camp. When Qadir realized that the Jihadist wannabes would be just "cannon fodder," he decided to flee back to London instead. Notably, in the interview, Hanif Qadir doesn't denounce the Afghanistan Taliban Jihad efforts. Instead, Hanif Qadir condemns America for bombing Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks and reiterates how "angry" he is at "U.S. foreign policy." (In the interview, his brother, Imtiaz Qadir admits to being happy during the 9/11 attacks.)
In his interview, Hanif Qadir states that then once he was safely back in London, he decided to create a London gymnasium and community center for young British Muslims. Qadir admits that he knew that members of his community center included "radicals" who met there and promoted Jihad. One radical who used Qadir's community center was convicted British Jihadist Abdulla Ahmed Ali, the alleged ringleader of the 2006 transatlantic jet bomb plot on jets headed to America (see "Airline terror plotters planned bigger 9/11"). This is the same Abdulla Ahmed Ali who promised: "expect floods of martyr operations against you and we will take our revenge and anger, ripping amongst your people and scattering your people's body parts... We love to die in the path of Allah." After Abdulla Ahmed Ali and other British Jihadists in transatlantic airline plot were arrested, Hanif Qadir denounced their arrest as "a mistake," and defended them as "pretty much decent kids."
Yet on Capitol Hill, Paul Cruickshank portrayed Hanif Qadir and his London community center as a success story in "de-radicalizing" British Muslims.
Paul Cruickshank fails to grasp that the inability of Hanif Qadir and others to address the ideological problem of Islamic supremacism, rather than merely rejecting "Al-Qaeda" terror tactics, has done little to "de-radicalize" either him or those who attend his London community center/gym. Mr. Cruickshank sought to make a false distinction between Jihad and Al-Qaeda terrorism, when the real point of the Hanif Qadir story is that Jihadist terrorism comes from the same Islamic supremacism ideology, whether the actions are taken by Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or individual Jihadists like Abdulla Ahmed Ali.
The larger question is, in view of the growing surrender in the war of ideas by leading members of the counterterrorism community, do they even care?
Politicizing Jihad and Islamic Supremacism to Further Infiltrate America
Such surrender by leading members of the counterterrorism community in the war of ideas does the spade work for those who seek further infiltration by Islamic supremacists in America's legislative and executive branches of government. By legitimizing Islamic supremacism and rationalizing Jihad groups, supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and other groups are emboldened to expand their political influence and seek to "mainstream" Islamic supremacism as a legitimate American political cause.
The same day as this CTB/NAF panel discussion was taking place at Capitol Hill, another group, the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project, announced the release of a new report "Changing Course: A New Direction for U.S. Relations with the Muslim World."
Among the members of the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project is Ingrid Mattson, President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an organization that is an unindicted co-conspirator in the ongoing Holy Land Foundation (HLF) terror finance trial. Ingrid Mattson has also recently spoken at the Democratic National Convention. Another member of the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project is Ahmed Younis, former National Director of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee (MPAC), whose communications director has praised Osama Bin Laden. In July 2008, both ISNA and MPAC sought to prevent the Investigative Project on Terrorism's (IPT) Steven Emerson from speaking on "Foreign Aid and the Fight Against Terrorism and Proliferation."
In addition, the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project leadership panel has 32 other members, including Dennis Ross, Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) consultant, who is serving as a Middle East advisor for the Barack Obama campaign. The New York Times also reports that the "McCain and Obama campaigns have been briefed on the report's recommendations, and both were receptive, said Mr. Weber and other members of the group."
The report was promoted in a September 24 National Press Club press conference and has been praised by leading foreign policy members of the House of Representatives and Senate who have been briefed on this report.
I have previously summarized some of the key aspects of the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project's report "Changing Course: A New Direction for U.S. Relations with the Muslim World." These points were not mentioned in the New York Times or Associated Press reports that glowingly painted the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project's efforts as "Report Seeks Engagement With Muslims by Diplomacy" and as "US ex-officials want good US relations with Islam."
Major points in the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project's report include:
-- Rejection of concerns about "Islamism" as an ideology (page 51)
-- Tolerance of Sharia-based governments (page 52)
-- Calls for engagement with Iran (pp 4, 48, 44)
-- Calls for America to "assess the value of engagement with political representatives of armed and activist movements" (page 59)
-- Calls for America to consider dialogue with "armed political groups and movements" if they have sufficient public support (pp. 59, 60)
-- Calls for talks with the Muslim Brotherhood (pp. 54, 56, 60, 61)
-- Promotion of the 2005 Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Mecca Declaration (page 53), which calls for "deterrent punishments" against "Islamophobia," and which promotes the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam that calls for "human rights" based on Islamic Sharia law
Other than an oblique reference to discussions with Iran, such aspects of this report in calling for America's surrender in the war of ideas against Islamic supremacism are not being discussed or reported in the news media. The report is being portrayed as merely a report seeking general "diplomatic engagement" and "major investment in economic development in Muslim countries to create jobs for alienated youth."
This U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project's Report was briefed to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Congressman Howard L. Berman, who has reportedly welcomed the report, stating, "This study explores in depth one of the central global challenges of our time: developing harmonious relations between Muslim-majority countries and the West. It offers thoughtful, creative, and multi-faceted proposals for meeting that challenge. Congress should give those proposals the fullest possible consideration."
In addition, this report has been endorsed by Senate Committee on Foreign Relations' Ranking Minority Member Senator Richard G. Lugar, stating, "The Project's report offers a thoughtful analysis of the current state of America's relations with the Muslim world and constructive recommendations on how we can approach this pressing concern in a bipartisan framework." Senator Lugar reportedly "circulated the report to his Senate colleagues."
The growing effort of those appeasing or supporting Islamic supremacism to influence our legislature should be alarming to Americans. This secret invasion extends beyond the growing efforts to infiltrate and influence our homeland security, our military, our law enforcement, and now the growing surrender of our counterterrorism community. In addition to seeking to influence our legislature, Islamic supremacist advocacy and appeaser organizations seek to influence the campaigns of the candidates for the next American presidency as well.
As the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Akram stated in his strategy to infiltrate America, "we must possess a master of the art of 'coalitions,' the art of 'absorption' and the principles of 'cooperation.'" This plan to infiltrate and influence every level of the American federal government is rapidly succeeding.
America Must Win the War of Ideas against Islamic Supremacism
American remains a nation of over 300 million individuals. America is a nation "of the people, by the people, for the people." Let us never forget that this is our country, not just the country of a handful of elected representatives and federal government officials, and not a nation controlled by the whims of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic supremacist groups.
We can win the war of ideas against Islamic supremacism, but not if we refuse to fight, to speak out, to protest, and to demand that our voices are heard. This is our war on Jihad, our war on Islamic supremacism. But no one can win a one-sided battle with their opponents doing most of the fighting.
The Islamic supremacist enemy will tell us not to fight a fight we cannot win, to accept their "changing course" for America, to focus on the goals of "progress" rather than liberty and quality. They will seek to turn us against those who will stand in the way of their "progress." They will not directly ask us to "surrender," but ask us to simply accept the inevitable "change." They will not directly ask us to "submit," but ask us to accept Islamic supremacism as legitimate when it is opposed to equality itself.
Regardless of the words they use, the terms that Islamic supremacists will ultimately call for will be nothing less than... surrender.
Whether individual Americans and individual American leaders choose to surrender or not, the fact remains that America itself is more than its people, more than its geography. America is an idea that embodies the principles of equality and liberty. America can no more be crushed by those on their knees, than it can be crushed by Jihadist bombs. America is what we believe in our hearts, it is the values we hold dear, it is our principles of equality and liberty that generations have given their lives to build and preserve.
We have no choice in fighting this war of ideas against Islamic supremacism. The war against Islamic supremacism is a war that we must win. If we lose, we will lose the identity, the meaning, and the values of America itself.
Fear No Evil.

Vast experience in insurance law matters enables her to responsibly advise her insurance company clients on complex coverage issues, particularly those relating to claims of bad faith. Meka works closely with in-house counsel and takes a collaborative approach to resolving disputes in a manner consistent with her clients’ interests.
Meka has been responsible for several published opinions in California, including the precedent-setting case of Rios v. Superior Court (mistakes of an insurance broker cannot be held against insurer) and Adams v. Superior Court (insurer’s notice of cancellation for non-payment is effective despite post-notice payment by insured to agent).
Originally from Los Angeles, Meka currently resides there with her son and daughter. When not helping clients with their legal needs, she enjoys volunteering at her children's school, where she assists in the Gateway to Art program.
- Defending an insurance company against claims of breach of contract and bad faith arising out of the cancellation of an insurance policy by the insured's premium finance lender.
- Defended an insurance company against claims of breach of contract and bad faith arising out of the adjustment of a homeowner's claim of smoke damage due to a wildfire that occurred near the insured's residence.
- Represented an insurance company in an action filed by an insured seeking reformation of an insurance policy so as to provide coverage for the business personal property of an entity that was not an insured under the policy at the time of the loss.
- Represented an insurance company and its panel counsel against various causes of action, including breach of contract and bad faith, arising out of the alleged professional negligence of panel counsel.
- Judgment in excess of $6,000,000 was obtained in favor of insurer, on the basis that the commercial general liability policy did not cover discrimination claims.
- Summary judgment was obtained for a professional liability insurer in a matter in which plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact that the subject claim was made and reported, as required by the policy provisions.
- Summary judgment was provided for a commercial liability insurer on the basis that damages claimed in the underlying suit were based upon contractual obligations and would therefore uncover "economic loss" rather than "bodily injury" or "property damage" arising from an "occurrence."
- Summary judgment was obtained on behalf of insurer, upholding cancellation of homeowner's policy.
- Summary judgment was obtained in favor of a commercial general liability insurer on the basis that claims made against insured in underlying litigation did not meet any Coverage B offense.
- Summary judgment was obtained on behalf of an Errors & Omission insurer for a realtor, on the basis that bodily injury at issue did not arise from a professional service.
- In a matter that had been transferred to our firm after an adverse ruling on the duty to defend, summary judgment was obtained on all remaining issues, including bad faith and punitive damages. The Court found that the insurance company's interpretation of the policy was reasonable as a matter of law.
- Summary judgment was obtained in favor of insurer, upholding rescission of policy based upon misrepresentation in the application.
- Summary judgment was obtained in favor of commercial general liability carrier in a bad faith action wherein judgment creditor pursued damages for breach of contract and bad faith based upon an alleged delay in payment of a judgment in excess of $1,000,000.
- Summary judgment was obtained in favor of insurer in a matter wherein a judgment creditor sought recovery of a judgment after default against insured. Summary judgment was granted on the basis that insured failed to provide notice to insurer of pending suit in breach of the policy provisions.
- Summary Judgment was obtained in favor of insurer and general agent in a breach of contract dispute arising from a first-party property matter. The insured had requested coverage for store inventory, which ultimately was not provided by insurance policy. Court found that the mistake was attributable to the insured's own agent, not insurer or general agent. Summary Judgment upheld on appeal.
- Adams v. Explorer Ins. Co.
In this case, the California Court of Appeal upheld judgment in favor of Explorer Insurance Company on the basis that the policy lapsed prior to loss due to non-payment for premium. In essence, the Court ruled that an insurer's notice of cancelation for non-payment is effective despite post notice payment to his agent. Further, the Court held that any error on behalf of the insurer stating the amount of past due premiums did not render its Notice of Cancelation ineffective. Finally, the Court determined that an endorsement request did not, in and of itself, become a binder of new insurance as argued by the insured. The Court reasoned that an endorsement request is not a new policy, but instead it is simply added to the main policy. As such, any endorsements added to the main policy would be canceled as well.
- Rios v. Scottsdale Ins. Co.
The Court of Appeal upheld Summary Judgment against the insured in this matter. The insured's application had requested a "Special Form" property policy. Scottsdale Insurance Company, however, offered Basic Form policy instead, which the insured's broker accepted. Later, an uncovered theft loss occurred, and Scottsdale disclaimed. In the following lawsuit, the insured contended that her application sought theft coverage, and that her broker represented that she had obtained a Special Form policy. The Court determined that the application was merely an offer of coverage, and that the quote by Scottsdale for Basic Form was a counter offer, which was ultimately accepted by both the insured and her broker. Further, the mistakes made by the insured's own broker could not be attributable to the insurance company as a matter of law. As a result, there was no valid cause of action for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligent misrepresentation or fraud.

7 Airlines That Really Need to Green up Their Act
5. Northwest AirlinesRetired old 747 in a Minneapolis hanger. Photo by RBNnlsn via Flickr
Now part of Delta, Northwest Airlines' 18-year-old jets are the oldest in the skies, so forget fuel efficiency. These guys also do very little environmental reporting, which is too bad since they have some stuff to brag about, such as solar energy on the ground, single-engine taxiing to cut back on fuel, paperless tickets, and carbon offsets through the Nature Conservancy. It's also "trying" recycling, whatever that means. But there is no ETA for green building initiatives, alt-fuel efforts or organic fair trade foods.
6. Saha AirlinesShort of a new fleet: idle less, recycle oil, and lower speeds to green flights. Photo by Retro Moderns via Flickr Iran's Saha Airlines has Boeing 747s averaging 34 years old, perhaps the oldest aircraft flying. U.S. sanctions don't help in purchasing new more fuel-efficient aircraft. But environmental issues divide the world between developed and the developing nations. Air Transport Action Group, a proponent of sustainable aviation biofuels based in Switzerland, noted that while fuel-efficiency is a priority for most airlines, "some are less focused on environmental issues directly, often in countries where other priorities are more important." Pakistan's Aero Asia planes are 26 years old and Peru's Aero Condor is 24, according to Air Fleet, which runs an airline data base. In addition, notes Air Philippines, hush kits required on its old equipment to meet international noise level standards burn 50 percent more fuel, thereby increasing air pollution.
7. All Airlines: Let's Get rid of ShuttlesImproved flight plans and washing engines increase mileage. Photo by Nic@ Flickr
Ok so this listing isn't exactly an airline, but more a message to all airlines: Shuttles are fuel-sucking routes that are often not shorter or barely shorter than train trips. Not to mention usually hugely uncomfortable and stressful thanks to airport security. While longer trips can be more fuel-efficient per passenger than train travel, that's not true of commuter routes like New York to Washington, D.C. Several of the most popular flights globally have alternative train trips, such as Milan to Rome (the #5 most popular flight), London/Paris (#11), and Paris/Marseilles (#13). With Amsterdam/London (#8), for instance, flying saves only an hour of time over the train and wastes between 500 and 1,600 in CO2. It's time to get cracking on high-speed trains between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Los Angeles/Las Vegas, New York City/Boston, Melbourne/Sydney, Rio/Sao Paulo--all among the world's top 20 flights. | <urn:uuid:ca1f5ab9-2ed4-4d9a-8799-1924c648d95f> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,691 |

Rich Habits Word of the Day
Mastermind – Organized group, team. Tom’s mastermind group was instrumental in his success.
Rich Habits Fact of the Day
Mastermind groups have been around since the beginning of time: the founding fathers of the United States were essentially a mastermind group; likewise Jesus and his disciples. The Greek king, Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) had a group of advisors as have most world leaders in history; these groups of advisors can be considered mastermind groups.
You may have heard of Benjamin Franklin’s Junto. (Junto is a Spanish word which means “council.”) Ben Franklin, an individual committed to self-improvement, in 1727 founded a discussion group called the Junto that evolved into the American Philosophical Association and helped establish the first U.S. lending library as well as an academy that evolved into the University of Pennsylvania. The Junto was essentially a mastermind group.
Andrew Carnegie, one of the most famous leaders of industry of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and a Scottish immigrant who became the richest man in the world, believed participating in a mastermind group to be an essential ingredient for success.
Rich Habits Lesson of the Day
One of the keys to success for companies like Apple, Goldman Sachs and Ford is the ability to get thousands to work together for one common chief aim, purpose or goal. Napolean Hill likes to call organized effort, the Master Mind. In order for this success principle to work you need at least two individuals who are obsessively dedicated to the same chief aim, purpose or goal. “One for all and all for one” makes organizations take off. Ideally, the more individuals you are able to include in your Master Mind, the better. More means more money, success and wealth. All must share five things: a common Chief Aim, Focus, Persistence, Passion and Patience. | <urn:uuid:591f0094-a401-48fe-b6b0-ee12004dd416> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,880 |
