The Quality of Life (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
Dramatic Comedy / 2m, 2f Winner 2007 Ted Schmitt Award for the world premiere of an Outstanding New Play - Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Winner 2008 Ovation Award for Best New Play From award-winning writer Jane Anderson (The Baby Dance, Looking for Normal) comes this "magnetic work of theater" (The San Francisco Chronicle) filled with compassion, honesty and humor. Dinah and Bill, a devout, church-going couple from the Midwest are struggling to keep their lives intact after the loss of their daughter. Dinah is compelled to reconnect with her left-leaning cousins in Northern California who're going through their own trials. Jeannette and Neil have lost their home to a wildfire and Neil has cancer. However they seem to have accepted their situation with astounding good humor, living in a yurt on their burn site and celebrating life with hits of pot and glasses of good red wine. Bill and Dinah are both moved and perplexed by their cousins' remarkable equanimity. But their sympathy turns to rage when they find out that Jeannette is planning to take her own life to avoid a life of grief without her beloved Neil. "Set in the Berkeley hills after a major fire, Quality of Life introduces Jeannette, an earthy, high-spirited woman. Jeannette's husband, Neil, is dying of cancer. When her cousin Dinah from Ohio comes for a visit with her husband, Bill, the two couples - one solidly on the left, the other resolute in their conservative Christian beliefs - are made to confront their huge dissimilarities-" - Edward Guthman, The San Francisco Chronicle. "Playwright Jane Anderson explores a myriad of ethical, religious, and moral beliefs, as well as (some would say) personal rights issues concerning life and death in her remarkable and completely engrossing new play, The Quality of Life." -Terri Roberts, Theater Mania.

Patrick Wanninkhof, who once wrote that bicycling was in his blood, was struck and killed on an Oklahoma highway while taking part in a cross-county trek for charity.
The 25-year-old, who was living in New York but is originally from Key Biscayne, was making the long-distance ride from Maine to California as a part of the Bike & Build project when he was struck on Thursday. Bike & Build members make long-distance trips to raise money for affordable housing.
The Bike & Build website, of which Wanninkhof was a group leader, says it has donated more than $5.1 million and spent over 185,000 hours building housing for the poor. Wanninkhof's sister Suzette completed a similar cross-country bike trip in 2014, riding from South Carolina to California.
"He's the perfect example of drive and determination to better the world,'' Suzette Wanninkhof, his younger sister, said Saturday. "He did more in 25 years than many do in their entire lifetime. He was so wonderful. He taught in the Bronx, started a computer sciences program when many thought he was crazy. He taught code to those kids in the Bronx and they loved it. He was such a good person.''
According to a story on Oklahoma's KTOV-6 website, Wanninkhof's group stopped in Tulsa last weekend to do work for Habitat for Humanity.
The group of 26 cyclists left Portland, Maine on June 21 and planned to make it to Southern California by August 31. Wannikhof was struck about 200 miles southwest of Tulsa near Elk City, Oklahoma.
Wanninkhof, a 2008 graduate of Coral Gables High School, graduated suma cum laude from the University of Florida in 2012 with a degree in Materials Engineering.
He earned a Masters in Teaching Adolescent Physics at Fordham University in New York and was living in the Bronx working as a high school teacher.
Wanninkhof, whose father Rik is an oceanographer at the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory of NOAA in Miami, taught physics and computer science for three years at Fordham High School for the Arts as part of the Teach for America program.
"He really was committed to the issue of affordable housing, and he was working as a schoolteacher in the Bronx where he saw the importance of housing as a part of education,'' Dr. Rik Wanninkhof told The Oklahoman.
"He did very well in his studies, and we were surprised that he didn't go into industry work, but he wanted to do something that affected people's day-to-day lives. So he applied for Teach for America. We were very proud that he did that."
According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Patrick Wanninkhof was struck by a Chevrolet driven by Sarah Morris, who said she was distracted and looking at her phone. Wanninkhof was declared dead at the scene of the accident.
Bridget Anderson, 22, was Wanninkhof's riding partner on Thursday morning and was also hit. She was airlifted to a local hospital with a leg injury.
Suzette Wanninkhofsaid the family plans to hold memorial services for Wanninkhof in Miami and New York as well as one in California when his riding group makes it there at the end of the month.
"We'll spread some of his ashes in the Pacific,'' she said.

Keeping it fun..
Glass and tin are materials that can be recycled with a lesson. Glass is especially fun to recycle with very young children because it must be differentiated by color. And as we know, all children love playing with color. Tin recycling allows for a little more of what would be considered typical childlike fun because all labels must be removed before this type of can will be able to go to a center. So let them get creative in the way they destroy those labels. Any mess made is just another way to demonstrate strong work ethics to your children.
Plastic recycling is a great way to introduce older children to recycling on a bit of a different level. Once they become familiar with the number codes that we all know and love, they will be able to decide what can be kept for home use and what needs to be sent to a center. A deeper knowledge of plastic codes will not only demonstrate their various applications but will also teach a young child about the potential impact these various plastics will have on our environment.
Paper, Paper, Paper
Now we get to paper, which is a blast for young kids because it is –everywhere- and comes in so many, many forms. More often than not, recycling of paper materials will begin at home as a chance to use the paper in ways far different than it was intended for. Of course, we all know about the cardboard box fort. When your buy a new refrigerator, washing machine, dryer, or any other large size item, give your kids a shot at building a castle or maybe even the dreaded "hamster tube" that runs the entire length of your house. Don't worry though, this is a great way to not only find a second use before the boxes are shipped out but also allow the child to develop 3 dimensional artistic skills. Who knows, your young recycler may end up an environmental architect. While it might be the future, we are certainly in short supply today.
Newspapers and milk cartons are great source as well. A little know fact about a milk carton is that after recycling one single liter size carton could produce up to 5 sheets of paper. Newspapers and silly putty can be a busy parents best friend and paper grocery bags are just as useful. Both allow, again, for a child to express their artistic side while also learning a respect for the world around them.

CREED Movie Review by The Commander
The last Rocky to hit the screen was 1990's Rocky V. 25 years later, it sounds like it's time to reintroduce this franchise to a new audience. They tried to create a parity of it in the 2013 film, Grudge Match, but let's face it—nothing can come close to recreating Rocky. The decision was made: "Let's take on a new face with a new background." Since Rocky is way too old to be in the ring and so was his son, the current train of thought was to find another likable character from the original series and give him an offspring. So on the sixth day, the writers created Apollo Creed's son, Adonis Johnson.
We start off the movie with Adonis fighting in juvenile detention hall being rescued by Apollo's wife who takes him under her custody to grow up as a civilized person. I know what you're saying, "When did Apollo Creed ever have a son"? Turns out, Apollo was not such a great husband and actually had an affair with another woman, who gave birth to Adonis. And as you know, Apollo died in the ring and never met his son. So Apollo's wife is now rescuing not her/their, but his son. Got it? Yeah, that's what I thought, too.
Well guess what? Adonis grows up to be an investment banker (who we all know are the biggest crooks in the world) but Adonis is bored with corporate life. Instead, he wants to be a boxer, just like dear old dad. Really? Are you expecting us to believe that here's a guy in his twenties making a lot of money, who just got a promotion, and he wants to throw it all away so he can be a boxer, live the life of a pauper just to be a boxer? Give me a break.
If you can get past this dumb idea for a movie, then you'll probably also be disappointed as well with the fight scenes and the drama that leads up to it. Guess who Adonis seeks out to help him train to be a boxer? Why it's Rocky Balboa of course, the old aging fighter who runs an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia.
Sylvester Stallone deserves an Academy award for best supporting actor for this film. For once, he is believable as an old, broken down man who has very little left to look forward to in life. His performance is stellar and heartwarming. You finally get to see Rocky broken after all those years and Stallone brings it to the screen beautifully.
While I was a big Rocky fan, I didn't find this movie anywhere near the caliper of the first three movies in the series. While not under the story and direction of Stallone, I felt this movie dragged out in numerous places. The fight scenes were not as good or exciting, and the movie never really hit a high point. There were no riveting performances. Michael B. Jordan (Adonis) is not a lead actor, the "villains" weren't particularly menacing, and the movie just felt lifeless. There was no dynamic music score or intensity that the first movies had, but because I'm a Rocky fan, I'll probably see the next one, too.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton today released the following statement in response to a decision from the DC Circuit denying the state's petition to stay the EPA's Power Plan:
"Regardless of the court's ruling today, the Obama Administration's Power Plan not only remains bad policy but is also still unlawful. This ill-advised example of federal overreach will kill jobs, result in higher electric bills and create a significantly less reliable electric grid for all consumers. Alongside West Virginia, we will continue leading a 25-state coalition challenging the EPA's rule wherever the case takes us."

In most cases the printer driver software can have errors while being in use or is shut down. So to reset remove your printer from the PC and uninstall the printer software. Now reinstall the printer software and then connect the Printer to be detected as a new hardware as it will be installed.

I have had a similar problem to this: I have had a BJC 80 for nearly 5 years and carried it around with my laptop using Win 98 and a par - par cable. It worked beautifully and successfully - so much so that when i saw a number of ink tanks going at very cheap volume prices in PC World i picked up a lot of them. Changing to an XP meant that i had to keep on using the par to par cable via a docking station but prevented my use of it with my new laptop - so when i brought it out of retirement it gave the blank printing problems yoiu described. By checking some error messages that it expected a black cartridge (which is what was installed) i found that inthe setup the software indicated it defaulted to colour cartridges. By changing this on the computer, it still printed blank pages but by changing the cartridge to colour it sprang into life when the set up asked for colour. I tried 2 other print heads which i had (3-4 years old) but still blank paper when printing to a black cartridge. I am now awaiting a new black print head carrier to see if it makes a difference. When trying with my laptop using XP and a par - usb cable it does not work at all. I have removed the sware driver for the Canon 80 and manually installed the one for the Canon 85 but no luck in printing to par - usb at this time

Wearable technology is a new trend where electronic technology or computers are incorporated into items such as clothing and accessories that are worn on the body. Wearable devices perform tasks like computing that is associated with handheld mobile devices. This new technology is considered to be more sophisticated because it includes sensors and scanning abilities that are not typically found in mobile gadgets and laptops. The user has access to information and communication in time. The implications of wearable can be far reaching particularly for health, fitness, education, transportation, finance and music.
Wearable tech trends
Wearable headsets – technology has its advantages but it also has its drawbacks because it can distract the attention of workers. Instead of being productive, workers pay more attention to their mobile gadgets. Their insatiable desire for immediate information and communication is provided by wearable technology in the form of headsets like Google Glass that performs most of the functions of a mobile phone. It can take pictures, provide direction, record video and send messages.
Wearable wristwatches – computerized wristwatches are not new technology because a Linux-powered device has been developed at the beginning of the 21st century. What's new today is internet-enabled devices in form of small watch styles that has been released by Sony, Samsung, Dualcomm and Apple. Technology has provided these wearable wristwatches with cheaper and smaller components that can comfortably be worn by a person.
Wearable for fitness – pedometers are devices worn a person to count the amount of steps taken through the motion of the hips. Pedometers have been improved by technology through Nike's FuelBand which is a smart pedometer that tracks steps and at the same time provides motivational reminders and social connectivity. Competitors in the market like Fitbit and Jawbone Up have also introduced their own brands of wearable fitness tracking devices.
Wearable for health monitoring – healthcare wearable is a fast growing sector to provide solutions for the challenges faced by the most patients. Some of the gadgets that have been introduced allow doctors to intervene immediately to avoid serious complications. Wearable gadgets monitor if a patient has taken a fall. In some cases, the devices remind the patient that it is time to take medications.

from The Seattle Times:
Three Seattle-area high-school jazz bands have been selected as finalists in this year's Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival in New York.
Bands from Garfield High School, Roosevelt High School and Mount Si High School, in Snoqualmie, are in the running. There are 15 finalists. Nearly 100 schools entered for consideration.
The competition and festival take place May 5-7 at Jazz at Lincoln Center, which sponsors the event.
All three Seattle-area bands are old hands at Essentially Ellington. Garfield has been a finalist 14 times since 1999, when the festival opened up to bands west of the Mississippi River, and has won first place four times. Roosevelt has competed in the finals 16 times and has won first place three times. This will be Mount Si's third round as a finalist.
"It's a real honor," said Mount Si band director Matt Wenman. "We feel privileged to be going with Garfield and Roosevelt."
Between 2002 and 2010, Seattle schools dominated the event, but since then no Seattle-area band has won first place.

England have been keen to stress little will change after the transfer of power from Andrew Strauss to Alastair Cook this week, but already one difference has emerged - South Africa's dominance of the summer has finally come to an end.
Cook's captaincy of the one-day side is well set, and he stuck to his word by pushing the complications of the Test leadership out of his mind to concentrate on levelling the series with a victory which again restored England to the top of the one-day rankings, a title which is rendered ever more meaningless as it swaps hands on a daily basis at the moment.
What will have encouraged Cook is that victory was built on the performance of some players who could shape the next few years of England's fortunes.
Jade Dernbach's slower-ball tricks helped to undermine previously super-confident batsmen and Eoin Morgan reproduced the form he showed before Pakistan's spinners spooked his mind.
Morgan was the only batsman with the power to take the slowness of the surface out of the equation, finding the boundary with some strong strokeplay - hitting two sixes and seven fours in his 67-ball 73.
There had been a slight wobble when South Africa squeezed the England batsmen. Cook responded by holing out horribly to deep midwicket and Ravi Bopara was given out caught behind after a lengthy review of the decision. But a run rate of 4.5-an-over suited England nicely, in particular Jonathan Trott, who chipped away in that unhurried manner of his, adding 108 off 123 balls with Morgan.
For the first eight overs of the match this was a familiar story. South Africa were scoring runs and the only variation was that Hashim Amla had changed into some coloured clothes as he carried on from his unbeaten 311 in the Test match here a month ago.
When Anderson bowled Graeme Smith playing a hoick to his favoured midwicket area it looked to be just a blip in momentum, but unlike at the Rose Bowl on Tuesday night, England's bowlers kept their discipline and South Africans suddenly played poor strokes.
Having recalled Dernbach for Tim Bresnan, they had a card to play. In this era of forensic examination of the strengths and weaknesses of opponents, it is unlikely the South African batsmen were unaware of Dernbach's variations.
But sitting in front of a laptop can only prepare a player so much and Dernbach had not just the advantage of surprise, having never played South Africa before, but also the fact he was on home turf.
Earlier this summer, Dernbach was not a first choice and played only two matches against West Indies and Australia, recording combined figures of nought for 105. It was a tough time personally, too, with the death of his close friend and Surrey team-mate Tom Maynard, forcing his withdrawal from the squad at one-stage and, when he did play, it was felt he had become hooked on producing the magical ball every time.
David Saker, the England bowling coach, will have told him to temper the slower balls and he picked his moments to bamboozle the South Africans.
It worked, even on a gifted man in form such as Amla. One back-of-the-hand slower ball squared him up and put doubt in his mind. The next nipped back, caught the inside edge and bowled him for 43. Dernbach's celebration revealed a man from the Kevin Pietersen School of Under-Statement, but fair enough really given the skill it takes to deliver such a ball. It leaves the back of his hand with a perfectly perpendicular seam until it hits the pitch and scrambles. Just ask David Elgar. He had faced 61 balls when he played down the wrong line at the wrong time and lost his off stump.
Suddenly it all began to fall in to place for England. The ball was moving laterally for Anderson and Bopara found enough reverse swing to make his wobblers a threat.
He bowled so well that England did not need to call on Samit Patel. Bopara took only one wicket but his accuracy spread panic among previously assured South African batsmen as they saw a par score slipping away and probably earned the Essex man another match in the side.
JP Duminy should have played the role of shepherding the team to 50 overs, and a 250 score, but he slogged James Tredwell to Ian Bell in the deep.
Bopara's last-over maiden increased pressure further and Anderson returned to finish the job off, taking three wickets for one run in eight balls.

The wire table computes (a) the length of wire necessary to achieve a specific
resistance based on a specific wire alloy and gauge (diameter), or (b) the resistance of a
specific wire. All calculations are based on a wire temperature of 68 deg F (20 deg C).
All the circuit refinement calculations yield the ohmic values for one or more resistors needed
to achieve the desired compensating or setting. The resistive components for physically
producing these values can be either bonded foil types, discrete "component" resistors (metal
film), or wire resistors made by spooling a small length of insulated, single-conductor wire.
Bonded foil gages are generally preferred because they are similar in construction to strain
gages and, therefore, perform similarly to strain gages when the transducer undergoes a
change in temperature. (They exhibit similar "thermal tracking" characteristics.) However, in
less demanding applications, or when the lowest component cost is important, the necessary
resistance can be achieved with specific lengths of wire of various alloys and gauges
(diameters). The wire table computes the lengths of these wires.

When you say "Home Premium Pack", do you mean the 3-Pack they've offered in the past? Assuming you have a legitimate key, haven't installed it on a bunch of computers (and activated it), you might be able to sell it for what you paid for it, assuming the refund is a no-go. That was a sweet deal.
Make sure the key is valid and not already tied to another machine, though, or you'll have an angry customer on your hands.

FREDERICA — Hannah Kemp is "a bright young lady with a bright future," according to Kaneisha Trott of First State Community Action Agency, Inc. She's also an award-winning poet at just 13-years- old.
After practicing her craft for less than a year, the student from Lake Forest School District took home third-place honors during Delaware's statewide Teen Idol event presented by AIDS Delaware on Aug. 5.
Learn more about Hannah in this week's Get to Know the Town:
Name: Hannah Kemp
Age: 13-years- old
Hometown: Frederica
Educational background: Eighth grader at Chipman Middle School
Occupation: Student, summertime horse farm employee
When did you start writing poetry?
"I started poetry in my seventh grade language arts class with my teacher Rhonda McBride.
Do you have a source of inspiration?
"Short films are my inspiration and what happens in the real world today. I just watch a whole bunch. I find them on YouTube and things like that. And I see the things that happen on a daily basis in schools… I have a big understanding of what happens in schools and in my school. I'm very observant."
Why focus on "words kill" in your poem?
"I experienced bullying first hand in school last year and even this year since I changed my hair color. It's kind of a conviction in my poem. I wanted to tell people that simple things can lead up to depression, suicide… "The bottom line is that words kill. I'm working on another poetry piece with the same line called Bot tom Line and I want to use that as my last line: 'Words kill.'"
How did you feel when you placed?
"I was happy! I had thought that the others were way better than me."
What was it like performing in the Delaware Teen Idol?
"I was very, very, very nervous! I was excited, but it was an awesome experience overall."
Why did you participate in Delaware Teen idol?
"Ms. Marla (Greater Milford Boys & Girls Club Teen Service Director) and my mom brought it to my attention and encouraged me to participate. So I decided to be a contestant."
What advice do you have for other teens around your age?
"I would probably get emotional and tell them like, for all the people that do make fun of people, that words and actions can break people and hurt people really badly. I would tell them that if they are going through, like, depression or anxiety or stuff like that… it does get better. I know it's hard because I've experienced that."
Where do you see yourself in five years?
"Probably a freshman in college. I'm going to research colleges first and major in business and psychology."
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
"A little more college to go, but I would be building the foundation of my business. I want to build my own mental health clinic for kids with anxiety, depression, self-harm issues and mental disabilities such as schizophrenia and things of that nature. I want to help them channel their emotions. And I'm very passionate about robotics, technology, music and art which all helps."
What are your hopes and goals?
"I want to make my writing make an impact. I want to be an inspiration to teens just like me. I want to help people. I was thinking also along the lines of being a motivational speaker for my job. I want to encourage people, even adults, that if they experience being called names and being brought down that they shouldn't worry about it. It does get better. Small things, their actions, even just saying, 'Hey, you're ugly…,' it can affect them greatly. It'll hurt a lot."
What other hobbies do you have?
"Drawing, singing, writing, playing the keyboard, spending time with family & friends, reading, being with people, going out in the evenings with family (family time) and psychology. I just really want to make a difference. That's my hobby."

Iraq War--The 2003 invasion of Iraq by the 'Coalition of the Willing'.
Justified--Having, done for, or marked by a good or legitimate reason
I will be defending the following arguments in this debate in order to prove the Iraq war was justified. The burden of proof is shared. I must prove these arguments to be true, while my opponent must prove they are false, while presenting his own case against the war as well.
(1): Saddam Hussein gave support to worldwide terorrist organizations that attacked the United States of America and its allies. Iraq also provided shelter and comfort to terorrists who had attacked the United States before. Furthermore, Iraq had an intent to attack America and American allies too.
(2): The Iraq War was nessecary in order to punish the Baathist leaders for their past genocides and war crimes. It was also nessecary to prevent the further deaths of 200,000 to 250,000 Iraqi civilians. The Genocide Convention and the need to prevent another Rwanda justify the legality of the war.
(3): Saddam Hussein had to be removed from power because he planned to begin his WMD program after sanctions were lifted. Sadam Hussein still retainted the knowledge to begin a WMD program again, and many of his chemical weapons programs could be started again within two years. Saddam Hussein also had a netowrk of chemical weapons labratories and safehouses that were suitable to restart the chemicakl weapons program.
(4): The Iraq War significantly hurt the cause of global terrorism and jihadi.
Sources and Rules
1: All sources must be linked to, and they must be avaible and free to the audience.
2: Dropped points are concessions.
3: Ad hominem attacks in the comments section or in this debate will cost that person conduct points.
4: The first round is for acceptance.
http://en.wikipedia.org...). This distinguishes the Iraq War as a whole from just the initial invasion.
In a debate of such complexity, I recognize the need to be both mindful of my character counts and the headaches of readers, which is why I intend to advance only a single argument in this debate, which also just so happens to be a particularly strongly held belief of mine:
War is never justified
The rational behind this point is that even if my opponent's points prove that a response was warranted, it does not prove that war ought to be that response. My case will be that electing to go to war was neither a good nor legitimate response. Note that I do not need to defend that there was a justified alternative (which there was, but that is beyond the scope of this debate) - I merely need to show that war is not a justified option, particularly in this context.
In addition to presenting this argument, I intend to refute all four of the arguments my opponent has presented.
The rules my opponent has presented are good in the context of the topic.
With that in mind, I hereby accept my opponent's challenge, and look forward to a fun debate.
(1.1) Abu Abbas was the founder and leader of the Palestine Liberation Front. The PLF was responsible for the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking. During this hijacking, an elderly and disabled Jewish man (also a U.S. citizen) named Leon Klinghoffer was murdered by the PLF (Abu Abbas being one of the hijackers) and thrown overboard. This man posed no threat to the hijackers, and was sitting in a wheelchair when the hijackers shot him in the forehead and chest. The obvious cause for this shooting was that he was a Jew.
Saddam Hussein welcomed Abu Abbas into his country. After the attack, he made his way to Baghdad, Iraq. Here, he spent the rest of his time commanding the PLF, with Saddam Hussein making it impossible for him to be extradited to the United States for crimes including terrorism, piracy, and murder. It was only until the Iraq war that Abu Abbas was finally killed.
The Mujahadeen-e-Khalq was funded by Saddam Hussein. They are an anti-Iranian terorrist group that launched attacks on American citizens Iran. As the Council on Foriegn Relations states, 'The People's Mujahedeen of Iran, more commonly known as the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq or MEK, is listed as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the United States for its killing of U.S. personnel in Iran during the 1970s and its links to Saddam Hussein in the 1980s and 1990s.'
(1.2) Saddam Hussein funded suicide bomb attacks in Israel and Palestine. BBC states that over $35 million dollars have been awarded to the families of suicide bombers between 2000 and 2003. Since there was $10000 dollars rewarded to each family, it means that Saddam Hussein funded over 3,500 suicide bomb attacks in just three years. Had he be left in power, this number would be 10,500 by the end of 2012.
Considering this, it should worry us that Document BIAP 2003-000654 of the Iraqi Operation Freedom Documents was a request by Mohamad Majid Mahdi, the commander of Ali Bin Abi Taleb Air Force Base, stating 'we ask to provide that Division with the names of those who desire to volunteer for Suicide Mission to liberate Palestine and to strike American Interests and according what is shown below to please review and inform us. This shows that not only did Saddam support suicide bombing in Palestine and Israel, but that the Iraqi government had plans to strike American interests with these attacks.
Saddam Hussein also plotted against the UK. A three-page Iraqi Intelligence memo regarding a wave of attacks to be conducted by the Saddam Fedayeen.According to those orders, the Fedayeen Saddam was "to start planning from now on to perform special operations (assassinations/bombings) for the centers and the traitor symbols in the fields of (London/Iran/self-ruled areas) and for coordination with the Intelligence service to secure deliveries, accommodations, and target guidance.""
The Institute for Defense Analysis uncovers many different points of connection between Saddam and al Qaeda, including evidence that the IIS funded Ayman Zawahiri in the early 1990s when he was the head of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. The IIS also sought out suicide bombers to attack the Saudi royal family, and Iraq also sought to send assistance to jihadists fighting U.S. peacekeepers in Somalia in the early 1990s as well.
(2.1) Article I of the Genocide Convention states, 'The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish.' The Al-Anfal campaign, conducted under the leadership of Saddam Hussein, was such a genocide, killing up to 182k Kurs.
Saddam and his manipulation of U.N. sanctions likely killed tens of, if not hundreds of thousands of, Iraqi citizens. The United States sanctions specifically exempted food and medicine, while banning weaponry. The excess death rates did not occur in Northern Iraq, where the US and UN administered the same program under the same sanctions regime, but only in parts of Iraq where Saddam was responsible for rationing humanitarian supplies. Independent research from the CIA after the invasion shows that five thousand children were dying every year from Saddam's manipulation of the sanctions, plus three or four times that amount from other means. This bring us to to a total of twenty thousand people a year.
Weekly Standard: Four months before Saddam's fall, Human Rights Watch estimated that up to 290,000 people had "disappeared" since the late 1970s and were presumed dead. The Coalition Provisional Authority's human rights office estimates that 300,000 bodies are contained in the numerous mass graves. "And that's the lower end of the estimates," said one CPA spokesperson. In fact, the accumulated credible reports make the likely number at least 400,000 to 450,000. So, by a conservative estimate, the regime was killing civilians at an average rate of at least 16,000 a year between 1979 and March 2003.
This brings us to a total of thirty six thousand people a year. Doing the math, if the United States had not invaded, it would have costs the lives of 324,000 Iraqi civilians. Instead, we are able to lift the sanctions and stop the mass murders and executions from taking place.
(3.1) The ISG's key findings stated that Saddam never abandoned his intentions to resume a chemical weapons effort when sanctions were lifted. After 1991, Saddam did express his intent to retain the intellectual capital, or the know-how that was developed during the Iraqi Nuclear Program. Starting around 1992, in a bid to retain the intellectual core of the former weapons program workers with know-how, Baghdad transferred many nuclear scientists to related jobs in the Military Industrial Commission (MIC). The work undertaken by these scientists at the MIC helped them maintain their weapons knowledge base. The Regime prevented scientists from the former nuclear weapons program from leaving either their jobs or Iraq. Moreover, in the late 1990s, personnel from both MIC and the IAEC received significant pay raises in a bid to retain them, and the Regime undertook new investments in university research in a bid to ensure that Iraq retained technical knowledge on how to restart their WMD program.
(3.2) ISG judged, based on available chemicals, infrastructure, and scientist debriefings, that Iraq at OIF probably had a capability to produce large quantities of sulfur mustard within three to six months.
The ISG's key findings stated that Saddam never abandoned his intentions to resume a chemical weapons effort when sanctions were lifted.
ISG uncovered information that the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) maintained throughout 1991 to 2003 a set of undeclared covert laboratories to research and test various chemicals and poisons, primarily for intelligence operations. The existence, function, and purpose of the laboratories of which were never declared to the UN.
(4.1) In March, 2007, Larry Schweikart, Professor of History at the University of Dayton and a military historian, calculated that, "a low estimate of 30,000 terrorists have been killed since 9/11, and an upperbound number of 60,000. On top of that, between 120 and 240,000 terrorists have been wounded. This is where it gets tricky. Likely because their medicine isn't as good as ours, they have a higher death rate among wounded, which probably means that instead of 1 out of 8 dying of wounds, it's more like 3 out of 8, and that number is in my first set of stats. In addition, we have captured close to 50,000 terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq since 9/11, and since the beginning of hostilities in Iraq, using traditional desertion rates, I figure at least another 10,000 jihadists have put away the old IED and gone home. So, a low estimate is that we have removed from the order of battle about 210,000 on the low end to 360,000 on the high end. This is an entire generation of jihadists, and will, if nothing else, significantly feminize Muslim society."
Sources in comments.
Let me begin by putting the Iraq War into context.
Almost one and a half million Iraqi people have died (http://www.justforeignpolicy.org...). That in and of itself makes it almost twice as bad as the genocide in Rwanda (http://en.wikipedia.org...).
4,488 Americans have died, and an estimated 100,000 wounded (http://antiwar.com...). The cost of the war to the USA and the multinational force numbers in the trillions (http://en.wikipedia.org...).
Over four million Iraqis have been displaced from their homes - over 2 million to other parts of Iraq, and over 2 million to Syria or Jordan (http://usliberals.about.com...).
Today, the country is in a state of relative political discord, while insurgent attacks continue to tear apart the homes of ordinary Iraqi families (http://en.wikipedia.org...).
All this was directly caused by the war.
War is never justified
The principle justification that my opponent tried to use was that Saddam and/or Iraq were really bad, making the presumption that America and war are really good. My contention is that war is actually really bad in and of itself, such that the statement "war is good" is in fact self-refuting (I object to America being really good as well, but I have not the space to articulate that in this debate). But there's a second presumption here too - that the need to defend against a threat (either for oneself or on behalf of a another party) justifies creating a threat for the other party. This doctrine, that defence justifies attack, means that every attack is in fact justified, for every attack has a defender. But if Saddam was justified, then none of my opponent's reasons for going to war hold true. Therefore, aggresive retaliatory action cannot be justified as a response to a threat.
More importantly, however, war is itself a moral wrong. It is contradictory to conclude that the statistics I quoted at the start of this round are bad, and that war is good. However, there are few who would say justice is bad, as the very word has a subjective positive association. Therefore, the idea of a "just" or a "good" war is an oxymoron. I should add that these are only the aggregate, measurable aspects of war. The families that are torn apart, the lives that are shattered, the destruction of buildings, be they homes or heritage sites, the misery and emotion, the psychological impact on the soldiers, dreams lost and fanatacism built.
Beyond the moral cost of war, there is also another tacit presumption that war actions are in fact, absolutely and objectively, classifiable as "good" or "bad". A war without moral value cannot be morally justified. What if, for instance, Al Qaeda considered America bad and themselves good? In their eyes, fighting a war against America would be "justified". Denying moral relativism in the causes of war is essentially the presumption that one is right, because at least one side must be fighting for a cause they know is bad. In fact, Al Qaeda thinks exactly what I just described (http://technorati.com...), but even if they didn't, the notion of a justified war necessitates a standard of justice that cannot be shown to exist, nor can it be properly presumed.
War cannot therefore be justified morally. This is significant because justice is fundamentally a moral value. It is also the most important point in this debate because all of my opponent's points presume it, even as they attempt to prove it (the idea that war can be justified is required to show a justification, so it is presumed that war can be justified in order to show that a given war is justified, which in turn proves that war must be justifiable). Unfortunately, such an assertive case, without any causal connection between the harm and the remedy, cannot be allowed to stand.
Charges Against Saddam Hussein
My opponent alleges that Saddam Hussein:
* Protected somebody wanted by another government from extradition
* Gave money to groups linked to harming the interests of another government, including their people
* Plotted to blow up locations in a foreign country
* Would have led to genocide of less than a quarter of a million people
* Took an interest in weapons technology
Even if all of this were true, that would be a good reason to indict him in the ICC and give him a trial, with the oppertunity to present his own evidence. In fact, at the trial of Saddam Hussein after the war, "witnesses" were forced to testify and told what to say (some reported being tortured), judges were replaced reportedly because they did not favor US interests, several of the best defence lawyers were either ejected from the court or killed, numerous witnesses argued for Saddam's innocence on all charges (http://news.bbc.co.uk...), perhaps most damagingly, he was tried under laws the US had just largely made up for the purposes of the trial (http://www.washingtonpost.com...). If the war was really justified by the need to give this guy his day in court, then you would have expected the conquering nation to actually give him his day in court. This did not happen, and thus it cannot have been a justification.
That the United States disagreed with Saddam's political decisions is neither a reason for going to war, nor is it justified legally (http://www.yale.edu...) or morally. To put this in an understandable context, it's like if the UK invaded Ecuador for keeping Julian Assange. Giving money to terrorist groups is indeed reprehensible, but this is like China invading the United States for helping fund militants in Afghanistan (http://en.wikipedia.org...). Beyond that it's a lie - Saddam Hussein did not trust Al Qaeda (http://en.wikipedia.org...). Plotting to blow up another country is exactly what the United States did in plotting to invade Iraq. If anything, the invasion of Iraq seems to justify this. The same goes for the genocide. If the only alternative to ongoing dictatorship was war, and we agree deaths should be minimised, then even with your source's extreme estimates Iraq would be better off today under Saddam Hussein. Naturally genocide is a terrible crime, but then again, so is war. Weapons technology interest does not prove an intention for production, and is not a crime anywhere. I myself am interested in weapons (and how they might be safely disposed of), but that is no reason to invade my country.
Terrorists Killed
The presumption here is that terrorists were in Iraq before the war and not created because of it. In fact, zero US citizens (or Europeans, surprisingly) have died due to Islamic terrorism since 9/11, and virtually no terrorist attacks were in Iraq before the invasion (http://www.loonwatch.com...). The conclusion that the United States has in fact created the very problem you claim they are solving (through, I should add, killing more people) is also backed up by academic research (http://www.motherjones.com...) and even by the US government (http://www.alternet.org... and http://www.washingtonpost.com...). This argument can therefore be dismissed as a mere confusion of cause and effect.
What my opponent really needs to prove in this debate is not only that he can assert his beliefs as to what the justification for the war might have been, but also prove that this justification is in fact both a justification for war, and in fact a logically and factually sound justification. War is an evil, and no rhetoric of justice can mask that fact.
My opponent has dropped all of my and his own points. As per his rules, he has conceeded them all. Therefore, he has conceeded the debate. I ask that the rules be followed and voters do not vote for pro.
War is never justified? This means that if I can provide one instance where a war is justified, the statement is negated. SO, here is my instance: A dictator has twenty million people hostage. He tells us that if we invade his country with only one soldier, he will not kill them. Therefore, that invasion would obviously be justified, negating Con's assertion.
I thank my opponent for his brief, assertive answers to my argument, although he has already conceded it. In this round I plan to address these in depth. As you go through this case, please pay attention to the fact that my opponent has ignored around 90% of the case I spent hours writing in round two, and the remainder is mostly not refuted but simply mocked, with claims like that they are silly or obviously false.
Assertive Strawmans / Silly Statements
My opponent not only needs to say my arguments fell into these categories, he actually need to show where they are, and prove that they are. The only example of an "assertive strawman" he argued was my line that the assertion "America is good" is unjustified. Not only did I expressly say I didn't have the characters to make that argument, and thus did not make it in the debate, it isn't a strawman. For the logic that war is justified through the faults of another to hold, a number of premises need to be justified first. One of these must be that war, when conducted through the attacking nation, actually solves the problem. This is not true, however, if the attacking nation is also a problem. Since I do not wish to advance this particular argument in the debate, however (it would take almost the whole of my 8000 characters to explain fully) I would prefer to focus on my more important point that I spent several paragraphs justifying at length, that war is inherently bad.
My argument against the use of weapons my opponent has brushed off as silly. Cool. What he now needs to do is justify why the argument is silly. It's pretty clear that if my opponent agrees it is silly to hold a standard of invasion that is an interest in weapons, then my opponent has not shown what his standard is that he was attempting to prove in round two. He needs to be able to explain why it is legitimate to invade Iraq and not everywhere on earth that contains a person with a passing interest in weapons.
Flawed studies?
No study is perfect. It's a fact (http://www.psychologyandsociety.com...). Every single study published in the lancet includes a limitations section which provides opportunities for further research. This is normal academic practice. This does not mean, however, that the findings of the studies are inaccurate. Mot universities require limitations to arguments to be acknowledged (http://libguides.usc.edu...), but in this specific paper, the authors were confident that despite these limits, their conclusion was a very good estimate. Simply asserting that the study was flawed in some small respects does not, therefore, disprove or even challenge their findings.
Obvious War Justification
My opponent's whole logic relies on a single example of where it is justified to go to war. First of all, Iraq is not that example. Even if my opponent's example holds true in hypothetical imagination-land, it certainly does not hold true in the real world, nor is his hypothesis equivalent or analogous to Iraq. Nevertheless, I do not concede that even in this extreme example, war is justified just because my opponent thinks it obvious. I have already given countless reasons why. First, no matter how extreme, the principle that defense justifies attack does not hold. Second, war is morally objectionable, even if done for very noble reasons. War is a descriptor for an event with negative consequences, so to say it is justified is an oxymoron. Third, the presumption that war can in fact be "justified" has not yet been demonstrated by my opponent, because there are no absolute moral values. These are the things my opponent needs to disprove if he intends to refute my case. Simply giving an example and calling it "obviously true" does not make it true - this is why I do not accept war can be justified.
War is never justified.
The resolution is negated.
Also note that Con refuted the Al-Qaeda connection with Saddam, when I never made such a connection.
Why is it silly? Because while you may have an interest in weapons too, you're also not an Arab dictator who's killed hundreds of thousands of people with weapons of mass destruction, mostly on his own citizens.
Con also calls it a 'passing interest' in nuclear weapons, which means he asserted that Saddam didn't have an actual interest in developing WMD. This is proven false by all of my sources stating that Saddam Hussein planned on restarting his WMD program after sanctions were lifted. That is not a 'passing' interest, it is an active interest.
The sources you provided are contradictory anyways. The Lancet survey and the Opinion Research Business are cited by that article. This prevents a huge contradiction, because the Lancet actually revised the death doll down to 180,000 Iraqis in 2011 (http://www.cnn.com...). This means that his own cited sources show that the Iraq war didn't kill anywhere close to Rwanda, and since it would save a net 70k people, the war was worth it.
Con asserts there is a civil war in Iraq, even though the majority of Iraqis say they feel there is no civil war in Iraq taking place (http://abcnews.go.com...).
Since you spent hours working on it, I should present arguments against your Round 2 case as well.
- I mostly agree that the trial of Saddam Hussein could have gone better. I think it's worth pointing out two things, though. The first thing is that the United States doesn't recognize the ICC, so asking them to give Saddam a trial there is absurd. The second thing is that many of your assertions about U.S. conduct during the trial are not found in the sources you link. My main point on this is that there would not have been a trial at all if we never invaded. It's not as if he would just give himself up to us if we asked him to.
- The point is not that we should invade Saddam for his political decisions. The point is that Saddam Hussein was a huge threat to a lot of people around him, including the United States and the UK. The crux of my argument is that Iraq would inevitably had WMD at one point or another, so even if we didn't find any, it would be better that we invaded Iraq *before* he had them rather than *after*, considering the threat to our troops that would pose, and the risk of WMD being handed over to terrorists.
- I'm not trying to say that we should invade a country for harboring people we think harm us. The point of my statements on people like Abbu Abbas was to show that Saddam Hussein was against the United States, and had no problem sheltering its enemies. All this is to show that we should definitely be afraid of an Iraq that's going to restart its WMD program.
- Con either lied or misspoke when he said that no American or European citizens has died in Islamic terrorist attacks since 9/11. The Beltway sniper attacks in 2002 killed tens of people, done by a member of the Nation of Islam who, 'admitted that he admired and modeled himself after Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, and approved of the September 11 attacks.' The 2002 Los Angeles Airport shooting killed two people and injured four people.
I am not trying to make the point that Al-Qaeda was in Iraq before the invasion. I am trying to prove that the invasion has created a situation where we have killed tens of thousands of terrorists, putting an end to the threat they post permanently.
I thank my opponent for continuing his case.
Assertive Strawmans / Silly Statements
My opponent argues that my argument, which I didn't even make in this debate, that the premise of America being good is unjustified, must be a strawman as he did not make that claim. What I said to that last round was that it is a necessary premise of his argument. Just because one does not directly state a claim does not mean that claim is not made. Rather than merely repeat his own claim, my opponent actually needed to engage with this counter-argument if he wanted to win this point.
Adding to the list of things which were not assertive, nor were they strawmans, my opponent brings up my claim that Saddam did not trust Al Qaeda, and claims he did not make the claim of any connection. Allow me to simply quote directly from my opponent's case in round two, where he argues that "The Institute for Defense Analysis uncovers many different points of connection between Saddam and al Qaeda", and goes on to show what these are.
Now we come to the sole argument my opponent could identify as silly. My opponent notes that an interest in weapons is not the standard for invasion, but rather argues one must also be...
1- Arab
2- A dictator
3- Have used weapons of mass destruction to kill at least 200,000 people
4- More than 50% of those people must be the subject's own citizens
It is interesting to me why the only non silly interpretation of my opponent's argument 3.1 is to also include all of these premises. None of the above would appear to follow logically. But let us assume they do. First, Saddam does not fulfil criteria number 3. While he killed a lot of people, he did not kill all or even most (and many would say, any) people using weapons of mass destruction. My opponent had no source to back up this claim. But even if he did, these criteria are themselves unjustified. It appears my opponent is simply using adjectives which he thinks describe Saddam and using them to justify the Iraq war. This is a tautology - he is merely defining wars on Iraq as being justified wars, and using that to prove wars on Iraq are justified. What my opponent needed to do was to actually back up all these claims.
My opponent then immediately contradicts his own standard by saying a passing interest is not sufficient - the standard should be an active interest. This comes back to my point about defense justifying attack. Almost every nation on earth has an interest in weapons technology. Not only that, but the aggressor nation had a development interest, as well as availability. If the goal of the invasion was to end interest in WMDs, a particularly poor way to do that is to invade, thereby protecting the USA and their WMD arsenal.
My opponent says the Lancet revised their earlier estimate. The Lancet is in fact a medical journal, rather analogous to a book publisher, but for medical academics. Later estimates are therefore not revisions or even challenges of previous data. In this instance, my opponent cited a sensational news story, of what was essentially a peer reviewed version of the Iraq body count project. This uses a different method - asking governments, hospitals etc. However, these agencies miss many of the casulties of war (http://en.wikipedia.org...). The earlier 2006 survey, which was based on asking the Iraqi people, can thus be said to be more reliable. I do not accept that saving lives is a legitimate reason for war, which ends lives, but regardless lives have not been saved by invading Iraq.
My opponent adds Iraqis do not feel there is a civil war. They can feel what they like. The fact is that ordinary Iraqis are being blown up in planned, ruthless attacks, killing each other. I did not say there was a "civil war", but nevertheless the current conditions in Iraq are not exactly ideal to live in.
Charges against Saddam
My opponent conceeds the trial was not fair. Therefore, the need for the trial does not justify that attack. He also disputes some of my sources, but keeps it a secret which ones, so I can't answer him there.
That political decisions were made which were contrary to the interests of the United States did show that Saddam did not like the United States; I do not contest that. I am saying that opposition to a nation is niether a moral nor a legal justification for war. It is completely analogous to, say, Iran attacking Israel for being hostile to Iran. It also presumes that defense justifies attack, yet again. My opponent conceeds this when he says political decisions are not a sufficient standard for invasion - rather, it is political decisions with the potential for a WMD. But of course, potential for a WMD is again based on political decisions, making this quite silly. The two cannot be seperated in this discussion.
Stopping terrorists
My opponent re-asserts this argument, but again he does not engage with my rebuttal. He merely asserts there have been deaths, but does not provide his source, unlike me. Furthermore, he cites two shootings, which are generally not counted as terrorist attacks. In any event the threat was not justified.
My Case
My opponent has given no substantive counter-arguments to my substantive, that war is never justified. Therefore, my entire case is conceeded by my opponent (again).

Skottie Young Covers Marvel's "New Warriors Omnibus," "Fearless Defenders"
When it was solicited in late 2012, Marvel's "New Warriors Omnibus" was announced with two covers: The first by original New Warriors artist Mark Bagley, and a second cover by Skottie Young. The solicits included the Bagley cover — a simplified version of the original series' first issue cover — but no sign of Young's art.
Today, Diamond Comics has revealed Young's Omnibus cover, featuring his inimitable take on the popular teen team's original incarnation. Young, of course, was the artist for an overhauled, reality television-starring version of the team in the mid-2000s, though that particular series is not included in the Omnibus.
Below, check out Young's New Warriors, along with his kid-ified variants released earlier this week for "Uncanny X-Men" #1 and "Fearless Defenders" #1.

No. 12 UNC holds on to beat Pitt, 80-78
No. 12 UNC holds on to beat Pitt, 80-78
No. 12 UNC holds on to beat Pitt, 80-78
By JOEDY McCREARY
Feb. 01, 2017
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — No. 12 North Carolina found itself in an unexpected fight down the stretch against the Atlantic Coast Conference's last-place team.
Coach Roy Williams and the Tar Heels didn't panic. Instead they embraced the situation, and it led to a gritty victory that might not impress very many people beyond their locker room.
North Carolina held on to beat Pittsburgh 80-78 on Tuesday night behind 20 points from Justin Jackson.
"Some games, you've got to be tough at the end," forward Isaiah Hicks said. "That's why (Williams) said in the huddle, 'I like this, because it shows toughness, and you've got to be tough to finish games.'"
Joel Berry II had 19 points, Hicks added 18 and Kennedy Meeks finished with 10 for the Tar Heels (20-4, 8-2). The league leaders never trailed but also never got comfortable against the Panthers.
Cameron Johnson matched a career high with 24 points and hit a career-best six 3-pointers, Michael Young finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds and Jamel Artis had 17 points for Pitt (12-10, 1-8), which lost its seventh straight but kept this one tight throughout by shooting nearly 56 percent.
The Panthers had a chance to win it at the buzzer after Artis took an inbounds pass with 4.8 seconds to play and hurried down the right side before uncorking an off-balance 3-pointer that caromed harmlessly off the glass.
Coach Kevin Stallings said he told his team with about a minute remaining that "we're going to have a chance to win this game, and ... dang if we didn't.
"It wasn't a great shot, but if you had given me a shot to win the game at the start of the night ... I'd have signed with a Sharpie," Stallings added.
That came after Artis made it 79-78 by hitting two free throws with 5.4 seconds left. The Panthers fouled Hicks, who hit 1 of 2 free throws to make it a two-point game and set up the Panthers' final shot.
Chris Jones finished with 12 points, and his contested 3 with 13.5 seconds left pulled the Panthers to 78-76.
Pittsburgh: This clearly wasn't the same Pitt team that was routed at home by Miami and No. 6 Louisville. Stallings can build off the way his Panthers went toe-to-toe with the ACC-leading Tar Heels on their home court.
"We've had some bad performances, and we've had some unfortunate things happen to us, but I'm hopeful they can derive some confidence" from it, Stallings said. "Let's not take any comfort in the fact that we played well and almost this or almost that. We lost, and until you win, you lose."
North Carolina: The Tar Heels didn't answer many questions in this one, especially on the defensive side. Three days after Miami's rout in Coral Gables, North Carolina had serious trouble stopping the Panthers, and UNC has allowed two of its last three opponents to shoot at least 51 percent.
"Don't know what I'm going to do, but some way, somehow, got to do a better job of coaching them on the defensive end of the floor," Williams said.
The Tar Heels played their second straight game without swingman Theo Pinson, who rolled his right ankle last week. Williams says the 6-foot-6 Pinson's presence would have helped in defending the 6-7 Artis — instead of Nate Britt, who's 6-1 — and would have made things happen in the middle of the Panthers' zone that frustrated UNC. Williams says he doesn't have a timetable for Pinson's return.
"They're the best last-place team in the country" — Jackson, on the Panthers.
Berry was coming off a miserable performance at Miami in which he finished with two points and missed all eight of his shots and all four 3s he tried. Berry said he hit the practice court after the team got home Saturday night and took 500 shots, then came back the next day and put up 600 more. "That was one of my lows, and it made me refocus," Berry said. "It's not a bad thing, but at the time it was."
Pittsburgh: The Panthers continue their tour of Tobacco Road with a visit to No. 20 Duke on Saturday.
North Carolina: The Tar Heels wrap up a two-game home stand Saturday night with a visit from No. 21 Notre Dame.

c++ - Multi-Dimensional Array Confusion
- Gerke M. Preussner (36/36) Jan 08 2007 I was just flying over the D specification to get familiar with
I was just flying over the D specification to get familiar with the language and got confused with something regarding arrays of character strings. It might have been discussed here before, it might have been answered in some other part of the documentation that I haven't reach yet, or I might have a completely wrong understanding of these matters in the first place, so please forgive my ignorance. On the language reference page for 'Arrays' in section 'Array Declarations' it states that "int[4][3]" creates an array of 3 arrays of 4 ints each. This seems to be different from the C++ programming standard (chapter 2.3.6 Arrays), which states that "int [4][3]" creates an array of 4 arrays with 3 ints each. I realize that, technically this doesn't matter, as elements always end up on the same address (assuming linear memory layout), and I think the D definition makes more sense. In fact, I always thought it to be like that in C++ as well and never really thought about it - until today. The confusion starts when considering the declaration of arrays of character strings. In C++, the expression "char[][3]" declares a variable length array of strings with 3 characters each, which can easily be verified using char c[][3] = { { "he" }, { "ll" }, { "ow" }, { "or" }, { "ld" } }; According to the D specification (page 'Expressions', section 'New Expressions') and in accordance with the definition of arrays, the same expression declares an array of 3 strings with variable length. It seems to me that the treatment of multi-dimensional arrays is different between D and C++. Is this correct, and, if yes, should it be pointed out in the documentation, if not already done?

Heal Yourself, Love Yourself
October 8 - October 11$236
*Advance Booking Required
Walking the Buddha's Path of peace
Gain personalized insights in to the roots of your own painful beliefs. Practice meditations and learn Buddhist principles that help you let go of pain. Cultivate deeper peace, self-love, joy and reflect on your own life experiences.
You will learn how to apply Buddhist principles and meditations to cultivate peace and joy within your daily life.
Through (optional) compassionate sharing with others participants you will start to see your own experiences in perspective and learn from other people's views.
FACILITATED BY NISHAN – 19 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE in Buddhist meditations and philosophy including over 4 years of teaching experience.
Individual Healing consultations: 45 minutes per person. Through discussion and intuitive insights you will deepen your awareness in to your obstacles to deeper peace and joy, including the underlying painful beliefs and traumas. We will then begin to let go of some of these through specific meditative practices. The insights from this consultation will be used to tailor the teachings you receive throughout the workshop.
Meditations are initially general (walking, mittakara, sitting posture, mother Earth grounding, inner smile, metta, general check in), then check ins with sentences/contexts and drop in based on a the issues uncovered in the individual consultations
Dhamma discussions starts as a basic overview, with lots of time for questions, and then goes into specific issues discovered in the individual consultations, eg – fear (as vicci kicha), anger (addressed by metta) etc.
1. Basics on the Buddhas life story (just to show how even the Buddha had struggles like you do; he struggled to know what path was best, felt disillusioned with the world, left his home and wandered around following the flow, made mistakes, was rejected by peers, even after enlightened he was despised by some, and also had physical sicknesses etc.)
2. Overview of the Buddhas steps to peace (dhana – Genoristy, sila – virtue , bhavana – mind cultivation) to show that meditation is not the first step and the Buddha did not teach this to most people, so if you can't meditate, that's ok, there is much you can still do for your own growth and healing.
3. Three characteristics of everything (dukkha, anicca, anatta – shit happens, shift happens, you cant choose what will happen), and how a deep understanding of this enables us to live joyfully in a turbulent daily life.
4. Four noble truths (mainly that grasping is the cause of unhappiness, and there is a better way, also some details on the noble 8 fold path)
5. Five hindrances to meditation and how to respond to these
6. Metta (unconditional love, good wishes), how this brings happiness to oneself and others, how this is also a path to enlightenment, how this is different to conditional love.
• 9am-12 noon – Discussions and inner healing meditations
• 12 noon – [Optional] Self Love and Gratitude through food – lunchtime eating practice
• 2.30pm-5.30pm – Discussions and inner healing meditations
