How Safe Are Colloidal Micelle Cleaners?
In this age of "green" technology and environmental concerns, more and more people are researching alternatives to the standard toxic household cleaners that you find an most store shelves. These alternatives include "natural" soap products that are becoming easier to locate, especially through use of the Internet. A quick Google search will bring up thousands of web sites discussing or selling these products and telling us that they are completely safe to use.
But, if you are looking to replace existing toxic products how do you know how safe the alternatives really are? Let me give you five ideas.
First, the colloidal micelle products are made from natural organic ingredients. In some cases there may be man made chemicals added in very minute proportions in order to satisfy customer needs. For example, a few drops of tea tree oil may be added to add disinfectant properties to the cleaner. But, these additives must be named in the list of ingredients found in the MSDS form created by the manufacturer. We will look at this MSDS in depth later.
Second, tests have shown that natural ingredients are always more effective and safer than their manmade counterparts. For example, a detergent is defined as "a synthetic (manmade) washing agent that helps to remove dirt and oil" while soap is defined as "a cleansing agent made from the salts of vegetable or animal fats". The synthetics mentioned in the first definition consist of materials such as solvents, abrasives, corrosives, caustics, combustibles, and a host of other pollutants that degrade our water and air. The ingredients found in soap include items such as animal or vegetable oils (fatty acids), vegetable and plant-based enzymes and minerals (surfactants), organic alcohol, coconut oil, and purified water. Which product sounds safer to you...detergent, or soap?
Third, a common measurement of safety is a warning label known as the HMIS (Hazardous Materials Identification Method) Diamond label. It must be shown by law on any product that contains even small amounts of hazardous material. This label consists of 4 diamond shaped boxes that are titled Health, Fire, Reactive, and Other. A number is placed in each box to display how severely the product affects that titled property. The numbers run from 0 for No Effect to 4 for Severe Effect. If you see this label on a product it will give you an indication of safety. If there are "0"'s in every box that indicates the product is completely safe. Most commerical cleaners have at least a "1" shown in the Health box and a "2" shown in the Reactive and Fire boxes. Truly natural cleaners will have a "0" in every box.
Fourth, there is a form known as the MSDS, which stands for Material Safety Data Sheet, that you can request for any cleaner you wish to use. It may not be readily available because many cleaner manufacturers don't want you to see it. If you cannot even get one for a specific cleaner you wish to use, or can't find it shown on their website, you are probably better off not using that cleaner. The MSDS form has a lot of information in it but the most important data are those which list ingredients. The law requires that ANY hazardous material be shown by it's chemical name and percentage of use. It must also provide information on the 4 risk factors mentioned in the HMIS paragraph above. And, it will tell whether or not you must wear protective clothing to use the product. All of these factors together will give you an idea of whether or not you wish to use that product in your home.
Fifth, and finally, look at the label. You will find that most commercial cleaners will have a warning to "Keep out of the reach of children". That alone should indicate that there must be some real safety concerns if your children can't be in close proximity to the product. Most of the truly natural colloidal micelle cleaners will not have that warning on them because they are completely safe for adults, children, pets, plants and wild animals. Those are the cleaning products you should consider using if personal safety and environmental factors concern you.

Welcome to Interior Alaska RAE Rescue's website where we have some amazing exotic animals available for adoption as well as live feeders for purchase for your insectivorous critters! We are a non-profit organization strictly run by volunteers located in Fairbanks, Alaska. Visitation is only for those interested in adopting one of our rescues, who have filled out an adoption form, are ready to adopt now and been pre approved by us to adopt one of our rescues.
While the rescue is very small as it is run out of our home, we are trying to expand the rescue and build a small facility so we can better help the large amount of reptiles, amphibians and exotic animals in need in the state of Alaska. We greatly need to expand as there are many pet stores in this state flooding reptiles into the Alaskan market. Many people are unaware of the care these animals require, how long they can live, how large they get and the challenges of housing them in your home in Alaska. We have to turn down people every week that would like to surrender their pets over to the rescue as we are lacking in space. If you would like to help support our cause, please click on the donation button below. Thank you!
We take in reptiles, amphibians and exotics and rehabilitate them if necessary and find them new homes. We also offer boarding for the smaller animals as we know how important their needs are and that many people may not be equipped to handle your particular pet or be willing to feed them the necessary food while you are vacationing. All proceeds go towards the care of the animals at the rescue.
We currently have Dubia Roaches for sale in all sizes as well as colonies if you'd like to start your own. Just click on the purchase live feeders tab to the left to see prices and order information.
Please help Bubba get out of this horrific RV in North Pole, Alaska!
Click on this link to sign this petition on Bubba's behalf and share!
My fellow reptile and animal lovers, Bubba needs your help! This video maps out his situation and the evidence of his long term neglect and abuse by his original owner. Please watch it and share this post and don't forget to sign the petition!
Video explaining Bubba's case.
Bubba is a 47lb sulcata that was pulled from an RV in North Pole, Alaska on September 28th, 2018. He was stuck to the floor in the bathroom in his own feces where he was being contained in a very small, cramped space next to the toilet. He had no heat, no uvb and could not move. He was removed from the RV and turned over to Interior Alaska RAE Rescue.
It took the rescue over an hour to clean all the fecal matter off his legs, face and underside of his shell. There was 1-2 inches of fecal matter, rotten lettuce and crud stuck on the underside of his shell. He has pyramiding on his shell and an abrasion on the left side of his face from constantly trying to look to the left crammed in the corner while his shell restricted him from being able to see or extend his head out. He could not eat as he could not move.
The rescue was forced to give the tortoise back to this owner on October 10th, 2018 as trooper Silas Hessler of the Alaska State Troopers has deemed the conditions of the RV as "not bad enough" and that he does not have enough grounds to keep from returning the tortoise to the original owner. This tortoise was given an assessment by Dr. Hansen at Chena Vet on October 10th, 2018 who deemed the tortoise "in good health" after only performing a visual inspection on the tortoise that lasted around 5 minutes. Regardless of the pyramiding of his shell, regardless of the information given to the vet clinic of his previous conditions, the sounds the tortoise makes at times while breathing heavily or stressed in the rescue's care and the description of his behavior as being lethargic and listless and not standing up and lifting his shell off the floor much at all while under the care of the rescue from the 28th of September - October 10th. There were no tests performed on this tortoise to see what state of health he is in to truly be able to deem him "in good health". This veterinarian's assessment was the deciding factor as to whether or not this tortoise was to be returned to it's original owner.
Please sign this petition to help us get the authorities to conduct a proper investigation of the RV this tortoise and 17 dogs are being held in, get proper medical treatment and be assessed by a vet with experience with reptiles that understands how to properly assess the health of a reptile, hold the owner accountable for her cruelty and neglect of this tortoise and get this tortoise out of that RV and her care!! Help us speak for animals being abused and neglected that cannot speak for themselves!
Here is a link to the video of where he was found and the videos of him being cleaned in the bath tub. While he was very scared at first, turning away from me in the tub and hiding his face, after a while he fully extended his head and neck for me to scrub and stood up as tall as he could to get all that crud off the bottom of his shell. Once he figured out I was a good guy, it was as if he was saying, "Thank you!".

First video bathing Bubba the night he arrived.

World stock markets slumped on Friday before a Group of Seven summit that could see world leaders clash with US President Donald Trump over his latest tariff moves.
European stock indices were down across the board following a slump in Asia -- and after a week of largely strong gains in the wake of robust US jobs data and easing political headwinds in Italy and Spain.
London's benchmark FTSE 100 index was down 0.7 percent in Friday morning deals.
In the eurozone, Frankfurt's DAX 30 tumbled 1.2 percent, hit also by data showing that industrial production in Germany unexpectedly fell in April, adding to fears of a slowdown in Europe's powerhouse economy.
The Paris CAC 40 meanwhile lost 0.4 percent, Milan shed 1.8 percent and Madrid dropped 1.0 percent.
"After ignoring the trade tensions for as long as they could, a rocky Asian session has left the European indices feeling rather tender," noted Connor Campbell, financial analyst at Spreadex traders.
"A likely feisty G7 meeting in Quebec appears to be the main thing driving the markets lower. Investors are either worried that nothing will get resolved, or Trump will become more entrenched in his aggressive approach to trade," he added.
In Asia on Friday, Japan's Nikkei stocks index ended 0.6 percent lower with dealers unmoved by news confirming Japan's economy shrank for the first time in two years in January-March.
Hong Kong sank 1.8 percent after a six-day winning run and Shanghai slipped 1.4 percent despite forecast-beating Chinese trade data.
As leaders arrive for the G7 meeting, there is talk that Trump could expect some harsh words after he imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum from Canada, Mexico and the European Union.
The move has led to retaliatory measures and sparked fears of a global trade war.
"Usually (the G7 summit is) a non-event for markets but with all the focus on escalating trade tensions amongst long-standing allies, there's a good reason for investors to be chary as this meeting is unlikely to follow an orderly arrangement of discussion," said Stephen Innes, Oanda's head of Asia-Pacific trade.
"Even more so as Canada and Mexico have retaliated against a range of US exports and the EU has promised to do so as well."
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have said they expect tense discussions, while France's Emmanuel Macron said governments should not be shy about making deals without Washington.
The White House's stance on environmental issues is also expected to be on the agenda.
However, there is hope over China-US trade talks after they reached a deal allowing Chinese telecoms equipment maker ZTE to pay a $1.4 billion fine instead of being hit by a seven-year ban on selling to US firms.
Oil falls back
Elsewhere on Friday, oil prices dipped a day after jumping at least two percent on a report that major producer Venezuela was struggling to ship its commodity.
Also providing support Thursday had been signs of cracks in oil cartel OPEC, with some members not as keen as kingpin Saudi Arabia to end an output cap that has been in place with Russia for two years.
"While oil prices may have seen their near-term peaks, it's highly unlikely prices will collapse but rather OPEC, through gradual supply increases, will guide prices low enough so US consumers will not feel the pinch, yet remain high enough to benefit the industry going forward," Innes added.
Key figures around 0915 GMT
London - FTSE 100: DOWN 0.7 percent at 7,648.06 points
Paris - CAC 40: DOWN 0.4 percent at 5,426.76

RKT Recipe
RKT is short for Rice Krispie Treats and it is great for modelling with and much cheaper and lighter than using modelling chocolate or modelling paste or even cake for unusual shapes and additions to cakes. I have the perfect recipe that I always use when making RKT and it's so quick and easy to put together. I've even seen people use RKT for a tier on a two-tiered cake.
- Much cheaper than other alternatives
- Extremely light in comparison to alternatives
- Quick & Simple to make
I find once RKT has been made up it lasts around 7 days so it also gives you the advantage of making that part of the cake earlier to allow yourself more time for other things on the day.
Here's our recipe..
- 200g Marshmallow
- 50g of Butter
- 150g of Rice Krispies
Yep.. Just three ingredients make it and it couldn't be simpler as there's no need to even turn the oven on!
1. Heat the butter in a pan, once melted add the marshmallows stirring continuously.
2. When the marshmallows are melted, turn off the heat and mix together to ensure they are fully blended.
3. Pour this mixture over your Rice Krispies, stir with a silicone spatula as it doesn't stick as much.
Please be careful not to be tempted to use your hands until the mix has cooled, we are dealing with boiling hot sugar and it will burn so take precaution to leave it to cool for 10-15 mins before attempting to model with it.
Once cooled (15 mins) the mix will still be pliable to mould in to whichever shape you require… we used the Hulk Smash Hand in ours!
Top Tip
When you come to model with it, use a small amount of TREX White Vegetable fat on your hands, this will stop the mixture sticking to you, which can quickly get infuriating.
How To Get A Smooth Finish
Create a smooth finish by either crumb coating your RKT model with buttercream or for hotter seasons use Ganache which holds a little better. Once you've added a couple of layers it will smooth any cracks and lumps on your sculpture and you can then cover it with sugarpaste roll out fondant.
Don't chuck left overs away… with the leftovers simply flatten in to a square dish and cut up in to squares for your very own home made Rice Krispie Treats for the kids!
Other Uses
I have been known to make this just for snacks on a weekend hike, use the same recipe & add 30g of Protein Powder to it and make it in to bars for a full fuelled snack bar! You can even mix it up by using coco pops for a chocolatey RKT! Check out our Health Kick section for some slightly healthier fun ideas for the kitchen!

text: Do you want to be someone that goes with the flow of things or do you want to be someone that goes against the grain, daring to be different? Different is defined as partly or totally unlike in nature, form, or quality. God is looking for a people that is willing to be different. To stand out for what is righteous and true. He is looking for a person that will allow His glory to be revealed upon this earth through them! Daring to be different will cause one to reject religion and walk in a relationship with God.

The Palace of Culture and Science
The Palace of Culture and Science (Polish: Pałac Kultury i Nauki, also abbreviated PKiN) in Warsaw is the tallest building in Poland (237 m), located in the city centre.
There are 3288 rooms on 42 floors, with an overall area of 123,000 m², containing cinemas, theatres, museums, offices, bookshops, a large conference hall for 3000 people, and an accredited university, Collegium Civitas on the 11th and 12th floors of the building. The building currently serves mainly as an exhibition center and office complex. The Warsaw Congress Centre can accommodate 4,500 participants at one time in over 40 rooms of different size. The interiors of the building, decorated with rare marbles and finest kinds of wood, tessellated parquet floors, crystal chandeliers make it a fairyland palace, which at the same time is an excellently equipped congress centre, located in the heart of Warsaw.
The terrace on the 30th floor, at 114 metres, is a well-known tourist attraction with a panoramic view of the city. The best view of the city is jokingly said to be from the terrace as it is the one place in the city where the building itself does not obscure the view.
The Palace of Culture and Science will be the venue for the pre-sessional meetings. It is also the place where the official exhibition accompanying COP19 will be held.

Activities and Ceremonies
The University Ceremony on Monday features a university-wide celebration to honor all graduating Ducks at the end of spring term. The event is in addition to department ceremonies throughout the weekend. The University of Oregon hosts more than 40 school, college, and department ceremonies, sharing the commencement celebrations with more than 5,000 graduates and 30,000 guests. These ceremonies usually occur following the last day of spring classes through the university-wide celebration on Monday.
Formerly, the institution hosted a summer commencement ceremony. Students graduating in summer or fall may participate in spring term ceremonies.
University Ceremony
The University Ceremony celebrates the accomplishments of all of our graduates with a great deal of excitement, student speakers, and a keynote address in preparation for the provost conferring the degrees to the graduating class. Graduates meet at the corner of 13th Avenue and University Street to join the Duck Grad Parade lineup, which will travel from the Erb Memorial Union to Matthew Knight Arena to begin the ceremony. Graduates are encouraged to get creative and decorate their grad caps and regalia. Tickets are required for guests at the ceremony.
Department Ceremonies
With over 40 school, college, and department ceremonies, graduates celebrate this day alongside their peers. Department and program faculty are present to recognize the graduates as they receive a diploma cover and "turn their tassel" to mark the transition from student to graduate. These ceremonies typically last around 90 minutes. Each school, college, or department plans its own ceremony. As these ceremony times, dates, and locations are finalized they will appear in this list. Please contact your department directly if you have any specific questions regarding these ceremonies.
In between ceremonies, join the campus community in celebrating commencement at the Erb Memorial Union (EMU). Stop in to enjoy the GradFest activities including photo opportunities with the large green and yellow "O." The newly renovated EMU also includes places to sit and relax and expanded food service venues. Other food options include Dux Bistro in the Living-Learning Center and Carson Dining, which will be open for students and guests. Coffee and snacks will also be available for purchase at the Student Recreation Center.
All university museums and classroom buildings will also be open for you to enjoy during commencement. Join your graduate in taking a final look at their home as a Duck and enjoy our beautiful campus!

Many thanks to Terry Schwirtz (shown in picture) and his crew for recently installing all the drywall in Tamarack Cabin at Pine Lake Camp. In addition, many volunteers from Trinity, Waupaca and First English, Oshkosh have worked hard to totally renovate Tamarack cabin this winter. When completed, the cabin will be renamed "Len's Place" in honor of Len Place from First English, Oshkosh who volunteered over 54 years for Crossways. Len was honored at the Appreciation Dinner in November and will also be recognized at the Crossways Annual Meeting this Saturday. For more information about how you can volunteer or contribute toward this tribute to Len Place, please contact Jake at 920-882-0023.
"Give Thanks and Remember" -Philippians 1:3
2015 has been a year of much growth and change
as we strengthened our infrastructure, balanced the budget, hired new staff, made significant capital improvements, engaged our alumni, improved communication and developed new programs for
the summer and second season (school year).
As we prepare for our Annual Meeting this Saturday, February 13th I am reminded of the many people
who serve and support the Mission of Crossways Camping Ministries. We give thanks to the congregations, individuals, businesses and
foundations that have offered time, talent and
treasure over the past 74 years. We are grateful
to all the volunteers who provide manual labor at
our three sites, serve on our board and committees
and help us promote the ministry of Crossways in
their congregations or community.
We take time also to remember those who have preceded us in building up the ministry of
Crossways Camping Ministries over the past 74
years. From our humble beginnings in 1942 on
Shadow Lake in Waupaca County to our three sites today we are grateful and remember those who
have built a firm foundation for us today. As I
mentioned at the annual meeting last year: we are standing on the shoulders of our predecessors so
we can have the Vision to continue to carry out the
good work of our Lord in outdoor ministry. Please support our continued efforts to reach out to those
who have not yet experienced Crossways Camping Ministries so they too can "give thanks and remember" for the life changing experience of coming together in Christ.
In Christ's Service,

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) was supposed to make life easier for IT professionals, analyzing the torrent of incoming security data from the network perimeter to provide real-time analysis on security threats.
Instead, it seems to have become a bit of an albatross for security pros who have to wrestle with increased complexity and management, according to a survey issued by network security vendor eIQNetworks.
Nearly half of those surveyed said that it took a few weeks to up to more than a month to deploy their latest SIEM product. Not an issue in and of itself. However, once deployed, organizations reported issues with timely monitoring, managing and remediating security and risk.
"The survey results indicate that organizations continue to suffer from symptoms of traditional SIEM deployments," said Brian Mehlman, senior director product management, eIQnetworks, in the release. "From cost burdens and management headaches, organizations are looking for a cure to SIEM."
Many also faced challenges with compliance issues. An unfortunate development, since more than a third of those surveyed said that compliance requirements pushed their organizations towards a SIEM solution in the first place.
The cost is also an issue, with 31 percent of respondents saying they would consider replacing their existing SIEM solution for better cost savings.
Adding further insult to injury, the majority of breaches continue to go undetected "due to the complexities involved in correlating security and configuration data across IT assets, inadequate security controls, and lack of actionable and timely security intelligence," according to the survey.
An indication that SIEM might have some chronic issues.
The survey polled 191 IT decision makers at a variety of levels in a wide range of industries, from healthcare to financial services to the public sector, indicating that these difficulties appear to be universally shared.
With vendors out there like IBM, Splunk, Trustwave, HP and others vying for their share of the market, there are no shortage of options. But based on the results, none of them have yet arrived at a magic SIEM elixir.
Joe Magee, CTO of Vigilant, a vendor that specializes in SIEM solutions, told Security Bistro that proper planning is key.
"Too often, the planning phase is short-changed, resulting in unwieldy SIEM environments that produce a "kitchen sink" of data with little or no value to the organization from an analytics and/or alerting perspective," Magee said. "With proper planning, organizations can execute an output-driven approach that defines all of the information that they want to receive "out of the SIEM," before integrating log data into the SIEM environment. This allows for a much more manageable set of data for analysts to review and delivering a higher performing SIEM infrastructure."
Mehlman also maintains that there is a silver lining here: "The good news is that the remedy to this perpetual affliction is through simplified and cost effective security intelligence solutions that provide organizations with critical visibility across the entire spectrum of enterprise security data."
"Big" Future for SIEM?
While proper planning and simplification are key, Magee maintains that understanding the larger picture is what will make or break any SIEM solution.
"The intersection of security and business intelligence is here to stay, and until companies embrace this, they are doomed to struggle with the same old SIEM problems," Magee said.
Magee said that the recent buzz at RSA over "Big Data" will play a key role in the future of SIEM and whether or not an enterprise can harness the enormous potential of SIEM into a functioning security solution.
"The future of SIEM is all going to come down to big data," said Magee. "Adopting a "data science" culture and re-architecting SIEM technology accordingly will be key to relieving issues related to SIEM process and management going forward. But it's not just about the technology -- users will also have to adapt to this new environment and start thinking like data scientists too."

Career Pathways
In April 2012, the U.S. Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Labor released a letter endorsing the concept of "Career Pathways" as a promising approach to address the country's challenge of how to prepare workers of all skill levels to participate fully in the country's economic future. This challenge lies at the intersection of each department's domains of expertise, and no solution can become fully functional without engaging each department's constituency. The Departments defined Career Pathways as a series of connected education and training strategies and support services that enable individuals to secure industry relevant certification and obtain employment within an occupational area and to advance to higher levels of future education and employment in that area. In the Career Pathways initiatives sponsored by the departments to date, we have seen roles for each department's stakeholders. The education community takes a lead on providing classroom-based learning, and then partners with business and workforce development professionals to create workplace-based learning opportunities. These connections help businesses meet short-term staffing needs and grow a next generation of skilled employees. At the same time, the human services field supports workers in balancing their educational, professional, and family responsibilities while they make this investment in their future. What makes these activities a true Career Pathways initiative is the commitment to cross-agency partnerships that identifies the strengths and needs of each partner and uses that expertise to build the pathway.

Project information
Equip a lab for Jappineh Village Health Centre
The village Health Centre serves a very poor population of nearly 30,000 people in rural Gambia. It treats 500-800 patients and delivers at least 20 babies each month.
A fully functional laboratory on site will improve our ability to diagnose and treat common tropical illnesses such as malaria.
December 2018 - December 2021
Charity information: African Oyster Trust
Eliminate the need for seriously ill patients and pregnant women having to travel long distances for routine blood tests.
Because of the difficulties and costs of travelling to the nearest lab in Soma, some patients simply can not make the journey until their condition deteriorates to a critical stage.
These laboratory facilities will ensure quick, cheap and accurate diagnosis - accesible for all of the community.
By having a fully equipped laboratory on site, staffed by a trained lab technician. Patients will no longer have to travel in order to have routine blood tests. We plan to add an X-Ray machine to the equipment already in the Health Centre.
Aim 1
To improve access to diagnostic facilities and outcomes for seriously ill patients.
Activities» Equip a laboratory as well as providing ongoing consumables and parts and maintenance for equipment. Pay ongoing salaries and training for lab staff.
What success will look like
Success will be...fast and accurate diagnosis of common tropical diseases leading to appropriate treatment and better survival rates.
Time and medicines will not be wasted.
General improvement to Jappineh community health.
Measurable reduction in maternal and infant mortality, better survival and cure rates for malaria and for other infectious tropical diseases.
The main risk is the difficulty of securing skilled servicing and parts for complex equipment such as centrifuge, solar fridge etc.
We purchase lab equipment through the Department of State for Health Central Laboratory stores so that we can call upon their expertise and store of spare parts whenever required.
We already have good time tested procedures in place to deal with the inherent financial risks of working in West Africa.
Our website contains frequently updated reports and blogs by visitors.
One of our people spends about 8 months of each year in The Gambia and personally supervises work there.
We also publish a regular newsletter.
Budget - Project Cost: £4,000Loading graph....
Amount Heading Description £1,500 Portable X-Ray machine purchase of X-Ray machine £1,500 Ultra Sound machine Purchase of Ultra Sound machine £1,000 Intstallation Installation and maintenance
Jappineh is in Jarra, Matsakonko region of Central Gambia.
This is a heavily indebted, remote and extremely poor area which relies mainly on subsistance farming. Gambia itself is an extremely poor country which is rated 10th from the bottom in the human development index. Average incomes in this region are under £1 per day. Even the cost of travel to the nearest town's clinic is beyond the means of most of the local population.
The medical centre is the only one serving a population of around 30,000 people from Jappineh and surrounding 20 smaller villages. The nearest large hospital is a good two hours away. The journey involves pot holed dirt tracks and a ferry crossing. There is only one major teaching hospital in the whole country which is approximately 5 hours away.
Why Us?
Why Us?
We have been involved in various projects in The Gambia for 15 years and have worked in the Jappineh village area for 11 years. Kira Dalton spends considerable time there and is an advisor to the local management committee. That means the project would be very closely supervised.
We pride ourselves on having no salaried staff or expenses and very minimal (1%) administrative overheads.

'The 21st century McCarthyite campaign has succeeded in convincing otherwise intelligent people that Russia is an enemy.'
'The latte left are willing to go along with the surveillance state, the neoliberal consensus and the war party duopoly.'
The Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) was established in 1938 as a means of fighting Nazi influence in the United States. The Russia-funded cable network RT was recently forced to register under FARA in order to continue operating in the United States. The wave of ginned up anti-Russian hysteria has created a new and terrible precedent.
RT America's audience is small, so small that it doesn't appear on the Nielsen rating service. It is estimated to be viewed by no more than 50,000 people per day. But facts don't count when the Democrats need to excuse their failures and neocons in both parties want to wage war by any and all means.

* U.S. politics even more conservative under Trump, but not for the reasons expected, by Danny Haiphong, contributor, Black Agenda Report, Nov 15, 2017
The political attack on a news outlet is striking for another reason and that is the near complete absence of support for RT among American journalists. The acquiescence of the usual cohort of civil libertarians and others who think themselves progressive and enlightened is striking. The 21st century McCarthyite campaign has succeeded in convincing otherwise intelligent people that Russia is an enemy. Those who are unconvinced are generally too afraid to speak up. Their fear is legitimate.
RT is the focus of attack precisely because it provides a means of information gathering outside the bounds of corporate media. RT viewers can access a wide variety of viewpoints, including those in opposition to United States and NATO foreign policy. Russian had already been branded as evil, but the claims of interference in the 2016 election and connections to Donald Trump have been effective and provided the perfect cover for promoting United States foreign policy and covering up the Democratic Party corruption and ineptitude which led to Donald Trump's victory.
The RT attack is not just confined to the United States. A Prague based group called European Values Think Tank has created a list of British and American politicians who have appeared on RT and labeled them "useful idiots" of Russia. European Values Think Tank is funded in part by the United States government and foundations supported by George Soros. In the United Kingdom two Labour members of parliament have asked that a journalist lose his press privileges because he is a frequent guest on RT. That journalist, Marcus Papadopoulos, explained the issue succinctly. "Those in Washington and London who are attacking RT and Sputnik, do so because they and the criminal foreign policies that they support are being exposed by RT and Sputnik for all to see."
The journalists who work at RT and their guests are paying a high price for asserting their rights to work and to freely express their opinions. Now labeled as dupes, traitors, Putin appeasers and worse, they struggle without support from people who are either true believers in the new McCarthyism or who fear the taint of any Russian connection.
Americans who think themselves progressive are equally guilty in promoting this attack. John Kiriakou was a CIA whistle blower who paid for his honesty with a prison sentence. Now free, he hosts a program on Sputnik. Kiriakou was scheduled to speak on the subject of human rights before the European Parliament. Winnie Wong, co-founder of People for Bernie Sanders, refused to appear on the same panel with Kiriakou, claiming that she didn't wish to be aligned with Sputnik.
It isn't clear how sitting next to Kiriakou makes one aligned with his employer, but Wong is certainly not alone among the normally high minded latte left. They are just as willing to go along with the surveillance state, the neoliberal consensus and the war party duopoly.
Kiriakou isn't alone. The Huffington Post pulled a piece written by one of their own writers, Joe Lauria. His On the Origins of Russia Gate explained what is easily provable, that the Democratic National Committee paid for the so-called evidence of Russian election interference. The people and organizations claiming to be part of a resistance are nothing but hacks for the Democrats and supporters of the elite consensus for American domination of the world.
There ought to be an outcry of support for RT but instead the FARA decision has been met with either silence or applause. The anti-Russian trope has been executed with perfection. It has been spread by the corporate media and the two-party duopoly. The same newspapers and cable news stations providing endless anti-Russian coverage never allow a counter narrative to see the light of day. Experts on Russia whose opinions were once sought out are now completely excluded from media access. Millions of Americans devote their time to news gathering and still know nothing useful about Russia, its role in the world or the truth about their own government's activities.
RT should be defended by anyone who claims to believe in press freedom, left politics or ordinary fairness. The lack of public defenders is proof of neo-con triumph and the duplicity of people who call themselves liberals. They must be called to account whenever possible. If they are not, the imperialists and their war-party partners will have won.

U.S. politics even more conservative under Trump, but not for the reasons expected
By Danny Haiphong, contributor, Black Agenda Report, Nov 15, 2017
'At no other time has there been more of a need to organize a political program independent of the two party system.'
The old formula for Democratic Party behavior under a Republican Administration is dead. For a generation, Republican-led wars, economic bailouts, and overtly racist policies generated mass discontent from a wide net of Democratic Party supporters. Democratic opposition to Republicans was mere bravado that created the conditions for future Democratic Party Administrations in Washington. Once the Republicans were disarmed, politics as usual commenced. This was especially evident during the Bill Clinton and Barack Obama Administrations, where progressive politics went to die in favor of austerity and endless war.
Politics in the U.S. became so stagnant under Obama that many forgot what real opposition to power looked like. Donald Trump emerged from the political rot to take the highest seat of the oval office from the Republican and Democratic Party establishment. The Republican Party had zero answers for the orange billionaire as candidates such as Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush had long worn out their welcome with Republican voters. And the Hillary Clinton campaign couldn't muster any opposition to Trump beyond blaming Russia for his rise, giving voters no reason to vote Democrat at all.
What few left-wing forces that remained in the U.S. hoped that a popular movement would emerge against the orange billionaire's racist and sexist character. The first few months of his Administration appeared on the surface to indicate a new day in left politics. Protests during and directly after Trump's inauguration garnered hundreds of thousands of attendees. Many of these protests, such as the Women's March, were organized on a top down basis. Non-profits and foundations played a key role in the turnout. Non-profit ties to the Democratic Party prevented left-wing activists to move the masses away from Democratic Party politics.
On the eve of the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, we should remember that V.I. Lenin had much to say in relation to spontaneous protest. He explained that spontaneity cannot produce mass movements capable of making revolutionary change. Spontaneous rebellion among the masses indicates a variety of things. As the Ferguson rebellion exemplified, rebellion can signal that Black Americans are becoming increasingly fed up with the police brutality and mass incarceration that dominates their lives. However, rebellion can also reveal the full terrain of struggle. The anti-Trump protests directly following the inauguration of Trump made clear that mass anger exists at the very presence of the Orange billionaire in the White House. However, as Lenin taught us, it is what kind of leadership at the front of mass discontent that determines its political direction.
And because the Democratic Party has been in the lead, politics in the U.S. have moved even further rightward. The anti-Trump campaign has turned into a full blown anti-Russian campaign where Trump is the object of the still unproven claim that Russia interfered in the Presidential election. Independent media has been blacklisted by Google. RT has been banned from advertising on Twitter. And the accusations have only become more absurd. Russia has been accused of everything from using $100,000 to buy Black Lives Matter ads on Facebook to infiltrating Pokemon Go to "divide the nation."
A political environment reminiscent of the Cold War has placed the U.S. at the forefront of a new Cold War. A section of the ruling class desperately wants Russia to return to its Yeltsin-era subservience to U.S. capital. It is believed by the major military contractors and Wall Street firms that war with Russia presents an opportunity to recharge the U.S. capitalist economy, which is in need of a boost. Lust for profit has clouded the potential nuclear implications of such a war. The Democratic Party and its Republican allies are willing to turn humanity into nuclear dust in exchange for short term riches for their paymasters.
An example of the level of conservatism brought on by the Democratic Party-led anti-Russia campaign was recently covered by Don DeBar on his weekday program on CPR News program on November 7. Journalist Joe Lauria discussed his piece entitled 'The Democratic Money behind Russia-gate' [article in Consortium News, Oct 29, 2017; interview with Joe Lauria is in first item of the CPR News broadcast on Nov 7, 2017]. The article was originally posted on Huffington Post. It detailed how the Democratic National Committee hired a private contractor, CrowdStrike, to conduct the investigation of its servers. The FBI was barred from access, raising questions about the validity of an investigation funded by the DNC itself. Lauria's piece was taken down from Huffington Post within 24 hours.
The Huffington Post is owned by AOL. AOL's founder endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 elections. This act of blatant censorship is part and parcel of the conservatism that has arisen in the age of Trump. Some might call the behavior of the Democratic Party fascistic. The question of war and peace has become the principle contradiction of this era thanks in large part to the Democratic Party. The drive for war has two fronts. On the one hand, radical elements have been targeted by the Democratic Party as agents of the Kremlin. On the other, sanctions have been leveled on Russia in the context of a vast expansion in NATO's presence along the Russian border.
Trump's presidency has thus been characterized by an even more war hungry Democratic Party than in years prior. Politics in Washington have been consumed by a crisis of legitimacy that plagues both corporate parties. The Democratic Party has no answers for the problems that afflict the growing numbers of poor people in the U.S., especially the Black proletariat. Anti-Russian sentiment not only fulfills the goal of endless war but also absolves the Democrats of accountability for its role in the crisis of capitalism. Rather than policy discussions about healthcare, austerity, mass incarceration, military spending and the like, the Democratic Party has obsessively attacked Trump on the basis of his unproven ties to Russia.
It is for this reason that politics in the U.S. have only become more moribund since the end of the Obama period. Black politicians have fully endorsed the anti-Russian, new Cold War narrative. At no other time has there been more of a need to organize a political program independent of the two party system. The corporate interests that dictate policy in the intelligence agencies are in full control of Washington's empire. Trump didn't make the U.S. a more conservative imperialist empire. He is nothing but a product of the prevailing conditions of an empire in decline.

Cyril Ramaphosa Wins A.N.C. Leadership Battle in South Africa
JOHANNESBURG — In a humbling rebuke to President Jacob Zuma of South Africa, the African National Congress chose an anti-apartheid hero and enterprise tycoon as its new leader on Monday, positioning him to turn into Mr. Zuma's successor.
The new A.N.C. leader, Cyril Ramaphosa, was a protégé of Nelson Mandela, who had pushed unsuccessfully to name him as his successor in the late 1990s. Soon after a extended wait, he is now poised to lead a celebration and nation that have been deeply tarnished by Mr. Zuma's eight-year rule.
Following a fierce and tight race that exposed the stark divisions in the celebration, the A.N.C.'s 4,708 delegates voted by a margin of 179 ballots for Mr. Ramaphosa, 65, presently South Africa's deputy president.
The vote also amounted to a rejection of Mr. Zuma, who had backed the other principal contender, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, a veteran politician and Mr. Zuma's former wife.
Mr. Ramaphosa's victory amounts to a victory for reformers in the A.N.C., which wants to root out corruption and woo back foreign investors. Ms. Dlamini-Zuma had promised the radical financial transformation her former husband had never ever delivered.
"Ramaphosa has a better possibility of renewing self-confidence, not only in the markets but also inside the A.N.C., where reformers might now really feel they have a spot," said William Gumede, the executive chairman of the Democracy Operates Foundation, a great-government advocacy group. "The mood in this nation in the last couple of years has been so depressed that he'll bring a new power."
But as a wealthy member of Mr. Zuma's government who was largely silent in the face of cronyism and corruption, Mr. Ramaphosa is observed by critics as much more a creature of that technique than an honest broker and corruption fighter.
"Ramaphosa doesn't have a reputation for getting gung-ho," stated Steven Friedman, a political analyst at the University of Johannesburg. "He's not the kind of muscleman politician that will go in and clean up. He's far more of a conciliator and bridge mender. There are all these wild expectations now."
Besides the presidency vote, delegates voted on five other top party positions. The total six posts had been evenly split between the two factions, indicating that Mr. Ramaphosa will still need to have to negotiate and compromise with Mr. Zuma's allies, Mr. Friedman said.
Mr. Zuma, who will cease to be party leader this week but whose term as the country's president does not end till 2019, will leave his successor a quantity of issues, but a single above all: a once-heroic liberation celebration that has now turn into connected with graft, cronyism and incompetence and that has been losing core supporters.
As delegates waited for the official final results to be announced Monday evening at a national conference in Johannesburg, Mr. Ramaphosa could be seen joyfully greeting and hugging well-wishers on the stage, and posing for selfies. Ms. Dlamini-Zuma mainly sat expressionless. President Zuma sat sipping from a cup of tea.
As expectations of a Ramaphosa victory heightened, South Africa's currency, the rand, gained sharply — reflecting the business community's preference for him. Senior political figures began posting congratulatory messages to Mr. Ramaphosa on Twitter.
When the final results were ultimately announced, Mr. Ramaphosa's supporters erupted in celebration whilst his rival's backers sat in stony silence — proof of the wide divide that the new celebration leader will have to bridge.
With his victory on Monday, Mr. Ramaphosa is practically particular to grow to be South Africa's next president, thanks to the A.N.C.'s dominance in Parliament, which chooses the nation's leader. A Ramaphosa victory, specialists and allies have said, will strengthen the A.N.C. ahead of the elections in 2019.
"He's usually been, in his history, an extremely sensible negotiator," stated Barbara Hogan, an anti-apartheid veteran who served in Mr. Zuma's cabinet for two years and supported Mr. Ramaphosa. "He's constantly got the extended view in thoughts."
"He's not the kind who would smash an organization for his personal ego," Ms. Hogan added, alluding to Mr. Zuma, who some say put his personal interests above the party's.
Largely since of older black voters who intimately keep in mind the A.N.C.'s heroic past, the party is still regarded as the favorite to win the next general election. But party leaders have been alarmed at the A.N.C.'s rapid decline and Mr. Zuma is so extensively discredited that party leaders could replace him with Mr. Ramaphosa ahead of the 2019 elections to boost the A.N.C.'s probabilities.
In final year's regional elections, the party lost control over practically all of the nation's main urban places, where disillusioned middle-class black voters rebelled against the party.
A.N.C. officials are hopeful the party can regain its earlier stature below Mr. Ramaphosa, whose core supporters are precisely in those categories — city dwellers and company owners, along with the black middle class — that had begun to drift away.
"We do not want to be relegated to a rural celebration," Gwede Mantashe, the A.N.C.'s secretary basic and a Ramaphosa ally, said as voting was taking location on Monday. "We want to regain the metros and be a robust A.N.C."
The two contenders embodied opposing strains in the A.N.C., the heroic 105-year-old liberation movement that, in recent elections, clung increasingly to its glorious past to bring voters to the ballot box.
Under Mr. Zuma, whose presidency has been marred by a series of personal and political scandals, the A.N.C. had become a patronage machine that rewarded the faithful and created them dependent on the party.
Neither candidate presented a clear vision or detailed plan on how to address the myriad troubles afflicting South Africa, the continent's most sophisticated economy but a deeply unequal 1 that delivers tiny hope of upward mobility for the vast majority of impoverished black South Africans.
A skilled union organizer, Mr. Ramaphosa served as Mr. Mandela's crucial negotiator in the talks that led — peacefully, against several odds — to the finish of apartheid in 1994.
He was Mr. Mandela's choice to turn into deputy president and ultimately his successor as the nation's leader. But the strong coterie of anti-apartheid leaders in exile pressed successfully for Thabo Mbeki.
Mr. Ramaphosa turned down Mr. Mandela's offer you to turn out to be foreign minister and eventually entered the private sector, even though he remained on the A.N.C.'s national executive committee.
Utilizing his ties to the party, Mr. Ramaphosa swiftly became one particular of the richest businessmen in the country and on the continent. He acquired interests in several regions, including South Africa's McDonald's restaurants, and served on a multitude of corporate boards.
He was on the board of Lonmin, a mining organization, when the police shot and killed 34 wildcat strikers at a platinum mine in Marikana in 2012, in the deadliest killing of civilians because the end of apartheid. Although an official inquiry into the massacre absolved him of guilt, it identified that he had tried to intervene with the authorities on behalf of the company.
"The terrible events that have unfolded can't be described as a labor dispute," Mr. Ramaphosa wrote in an internal e mail soon after the first 10 strikers had been killed. "They are plainly dastardly criminal and must be characterized as such. In line with this characterization, there demands to be concomitant action to address this circumstance."
Mr. Ramaphosa later apologized for the language he utilised but mentioned that he was attempting to avoid additional deaths.
To numerous, Mr. Ramaphosa became the symbol of an A.N.C. elite that had enriched itself by betraying the folks it had once promised to serve. In one more episode in 2012, Mr. Ramaphosa was widely criticized for bidding $2 million for a prize buffalo cow at a livestock auction.
He apologized for that as effectively. "It is a error in the sea of poverty. I reside in a community," he mentioned. "The damage has been done, I will reside with it."
That exact same year, Mr. Ramaphosa returned to politics, and he has served since 2014 as deputy president below Mr. Zuma. Mr. Ramaphosa supported Mr. Zuma, staying largely silent as the president's ethical difficulties and erratic policies broken the economy.
A lot more recently, even though, Mr. Ramaphosa began to distance himself from Mr. Zuma. Last month, he gave a extended speech on the economy, focusing on the importance of fighting corruption.
His supporters portrayed him as the man capable of righting the A.N.C. Jackson Mthembu, the party's chief whip, said on Twitter that he had cast his ballot for Mr. Ramaphosa and "other five incorruptible leaders" for the party's prime six posts. "My vote is to save" the A.N.C. "and my country. We must!!"
But to other folks, it is not yet clear that an insider can dismantle the very program that so richly rewarded him.

On some days, I am full of beautiful thoughts and compassionate feelings.
On some days, I am irritated by my lack of sleep.
On most days, I am preoccupied by my morning to-do list.
But every day, I am in a war state of mind. In my mind, this war began in 2009, when my consciousness absorbed the brokenness of its surroundings completely, like a baby ingesting food properly the first time.
Burning buses and TV buzz. Rape and arson and twitter updates. Newspapers, checkpoints, gunpoints. The miscellany of our lives being swallowed, but not whole. It travels down my tongue, into my throat, is pushed down my esophagus. It would be poetic to say I can't stomach it, but I can. I do.
Now that I have integrated our ugliest ogres, digested them with my breakfast, I am no longer embarrassed by them. People talk (wail, howl, cry) about how the images that we swallow have come to define us and how this definition shames us. I feel no shame. I look on, curiously, at what is unfolding. National embarrassment has no meaning for me. Neither does national pride. Neither does national. Or nation.
Dirty flavors can be found in every bag of jellybeans. Perhaps we have far too many, but you can only be shamed by what is your own. Rationally speaking, it is impossible to be embarrassed by the actions of your milkman, unless you believe the milkman represents some aspect of yourself. By extension, he can only represent some aspect of yourself if you allow him this representation.
That is why I can not be proud of the Pakistanis who I love and admire, I can only love and admire them as human beings. I can not be ashamed of Pakistanis who murder, I can only despise them as human beings. I can not be ashamed of Pakistan, I can only love it for the value we attach to the motherland. I can not be proud of Pakistan, I can only point out the truth in what I see.
I have no nation.
I have a country.
The only question left to be answered is how far my personal imagined community stretches and how much it is affected by borders, if at all. I'll get there some day.
For now, I am striving to be good and unbreak what is damaged. I want to create a place with a less exhausting state of mind. Not because it is mine, but because it is worth it.

Hey, Sarah, Nadir Ali just told me you are his granddaughter! Kewl! I look forward to meeting him and your grandmother and I guess an aunt in September in SF! So are you the daighter of the architect daughter?

Actually, Sarah, you should count your stars because when I first read your blog via Omar's FB page, he did not introduce it as "here is the blog of my talented niece, Sarah" but more like, "here is something from Sarah Elahi." Some people are born into families that never see who you ARE except daughter, sister, mom, wife, etc.! Lucky you! Oh, but not my dear late great Uncle Norman, I told ypur grandfather he reminds me a bit of my Uncle Norman, a commie until the last breath :-).

i don't enjoy with this course at all. this course is not good . i don't like copying code and paste it into other place. also to explain code was written before is not good for beginner the code must be written live to understand whole code . Also the assignment wasn't clear at all. you had to search to know what they want exactly. I hope to improve it for next people who will take it

Charles Severance is one of my favourite professors. He teaches stuff in the simplest way possible. He delivers the content is in a very friendly manner. So friendly that if I meet him by chance, my first sentence might be "Hey Chuck, Wasup?"
Coming to the course content, I didn't understand why they included object oriented programming in this course. Provides good exposure to SQL. There is a week of geocoding, though he doesn't walk you through everyline of geocoding exercise, throwing it out there gives exposure and opportunity to learn more on own.

Instructor is engaging, conceptual overviews were excellent.
Here's what I would do to improve:
(1) I don't think it would cost you much or take you much time to add honors content. That would be helpful for anyone just brushing up on the material that wants to go a little further.
(2) The last assignment is absurdly easy. I've never had a programming assignment where the criteria is simply to run code someone else has already written. That's just lazy and it hurts the brand name of Coursera and the University of Michigan.
I'm sure some of your students ('ahem) would be happy to produce some honors concept and rework the final assignment.

United Airlines has been among the most aggressive in the industry at raising fares to offset soaring fuel prices this year, but it's running into stiff resistance in competitive markets where it faces discounters like Southwest Airlines, Jet Blue Airways and Virgin America.
United's fare game
United has initiated eight of the 11 successful fare increases among major carriers since the beginning of the year, pushing up prices 7% to 11% on average, according to Dallas-based FareCompare.com. That's hardly enough to offset a 32% rise in jet-fuel costs during the same period.
The significant rise in fuel costs makes pricing power to raise fares critical to United. But data shows the airline, which is in merger discussions with US Air, has less leverage to raise fares with aggressive discounters like Southwest flying more of its routes.
The issue is the biggest challenge confronting John Tague, who was promoted recently to chief operating officer after serving as chief revenue officer at the Chicago-based airline.
Mr. Tague is credited with pushing United to raise fares and fees, helping the company boost first-quarter revenue 7.7% to $4.71 billion. (Fuel costs contributed to a $537-million loss.) "We need to pull every lever that is available to us," Mr. Tague told investors in April.
The reality is that discounters set the pace on fares for many routes, limiting Mr. Tague's options.
"The (oldline) airlines have tiptoed around Southwest, AirTran, JetBlue with a lot of their fare hikes," says Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare.com.
While United is the dominant carrier between its hubs at O'Hare International Airport and Dulles International Airport outside Washington, D.C., its cheapest ticket for leisure travel rose just 1% to $170 round-trip since the beginning of the year, FareCompare data show. Southwest offers non-stop service to Dulles from Midway Airport.
United says it raised fares $4 to $12 round-trip in markets served by Southwest and other discounters on Friday.
"Whether or not these fare increases take hold depends on several factors including demand, individual market conditions and the competitive landscape," a spokeswoman says.
United has had more luck raising fares with business travelers, many of whom are tied to the airline through frequent-flier loyalty or a corporate discount. It raised its lowest business fare, or tickets purchased fewer than 14 days before departure, for flights from O'Hare to Dulles 140% this year, to $404.
That's often not an option in markets where United faces both discounters and traditional rivals, like American Airlines. The leisure fare from O'Hare to St. Louis declined 2% since Jan. 1, to $96. The business fare rose 3% to $186 round-trip, according to FareCompare data.
The squeeze can be especially painful on transcontinental flights, where fuel costs are magnified. United's lowest business fare for flights between San Francisco International Airport and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, where it faces American and discounter Virgin America, are up 13%, according to FareCompare. Still, the fare is just $358.
United has been much more successful at raising fares in smaller markets where it faces no discount carriers. Its fare from O'Hare to Grand Rapids, Mich., jumped 63% to $453 for leisure travel, while business tickets climbed 31% to $823.
A greater challenge may be ahead.
"Demand has held up pretty well," says Michael Derchin, a New York-based analyst with FTN Midwest Securities. "After Labor Day, when you see the normal falloff in demand, that's going to be the challenge. The economy will be a big factor."
