Gilt's pre-emptive shipping is an experiment in data science
In this Q&A, Igor Elbert describes Gilt's pre-emptive shipping program, which leans on his expertise in machine learning and predictive modeling.
- Nicole Laskowski, News Director
Shopping online is devoid of instant gratification. Customers don't walk away, package in hand, with a new [insert product type here]; instead, they select a shipping method and wait. But retailers are trying mightily to change that, starting with Amazon, which was awarded a patent in December on anticipatory shipping -- a system that aims to ship the goods before customers even make the purchase. Pundits have questioned whether Amazon's patent for shipping goods to intermediate hubs in anticipation of sales is anything new(or even tenable for all but the most generic purchases). But that hasn't stopped retailers from deploying sophisticated analytics to fulfill, so to speak, the pleasure of getting an online order sooner rather than later.
Just ask Igor Elbert, data scientist at high-end fashion and home wares retailer Gilt Groupe in New York. With machine learning and predictive models, Elbert is building a practice of pre-emptive shipping at Gilt. Using a slew of factors (some subjective, others objective), the program aims to determine which products will sell better where -- East Coast, West Coast or Middle America -- before customers click "Buy." The data challenges of doing this are enormous, raising such existential questions as, "What is a color?"
Elbert recently sat down with SearchCIO.com to talk about pre-emptive shipping, a topic he'll be presenting on at Strata + Hadoop World in New York next month.
What is pre-emptive shipping?
Igor Elbert: In anticipation that some items will be sold in certain areas, we can start moving them even before we put them on sale. So, by the time they're actually purchased, they're geographically closer to the customer, meaning the customer would get them faster.
How is the problem Gilt is trying to solve different from what Amazon calls 'anticipatory shipping?'
Elbert: We kind of envy Amazon, because their problem is much easier. If you predicted for toothpaste in Orange County, California, you have a reliable past history of toothpaste sales. If it's more or less stable, you can bet people next month will need the same amount of toothpaste they bought from you last month. Retailers have been doing this since forever -- looking at sales forecasts and moving items closer to the customer. But Amazon took it one step further. They said, 'Knowing your previous purchase history, we'll send the product to your doorstep.' The model relies on, from what I understand, knowing what you bought before. So, if you bought toothpaste last month, and you've been buying toothpaste every two months for the last two years, they know you'll need toothpaste next month and they can ship it to you. It's a low risk to them because if you don't need it, you can return it, but it's likely you'll actually need it.
We don't go that far. We're not going to ship a high-end dress to someone [before she's bought it]. But we try to move products in the direction of the intended buyer early on.
What's your biggest data challenge?
Elbert: Assembling the data set: to understand which attributes are predictive, to get reliable data, to clean it. Something like, for example, [the product's] material is highly predictive, but material is, in many cases, supplied by the vendor and hand-typed by someone. So, there are typos. Normalizing materials into something the algorithm can use is a challenge in understanding what's predictive and what's not.
Initially, I ended up with several thousand descriptions of materials of what the items are made from. Several thousand are too much, plus many of them are variations of the same thing. I went through several iterations of cleaning, aggregating and normalizing just to help algorithms deal with this. That's a data challenge.
Understanding what makes an item is also a challenge. Like color: That seems obvious, but it turns out not to be. Color, it depends on which definition -- what vendors call it, what Gilt calls it and what the National Retail Federation calls it. An item could have three colors assigned to it, and they could be very different. So, understanding specifics of high fashion attributes and so on.
And then realizations that it's not just an individual item. The day makes a difference, and the concept of good day/bad day is a predictor for individual item performance. That came after several iterations.
What is your biggest technology challenge?
Elbert: Moving the data from the source -- from the operational database -- to the data warehouse to the source prediction to the prediction algorithms to get the results fast enough to have enough lead time to basically send products pre-emptively. At Gilt or at any flash-sale business, everything happens quickly. Items are received, photographed, described and put on sale at a very rapid pace. This is different from Amazon or any [traditional] retailer. For me, I have [only] days from us first hearing about the products to the products being put on sale.
And the reliability of the data varies. The closer we get to the sale date, the more solid the data is. One day out or two days out, it could still be fuzzy -- meaning the product is not described, the price is not set up. I need to take this fogginess into account as well.
What is the current goal behind your pre-emptive shipping program?
Elbert: The current objective is to shorten shipping time to customers. As we scale it, we hope to save on costs.
What do you think pre-emptive shipping will look like eventually?
Elbert: Ideally, it would be nice if we could start packing and preparing shipping while the product is in transit. Right now, we just ship it several days in advance, so it arrives to the hub by the time sales start. It would be interesting to shorten this window. Sales would start while items are in transit, and someone inside the truck would start packing it into individual boxes, applying labels and so on. Essentially, the truck would become the hub on a subset of projects that would be highly targeted. That's a vision for the future.

Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery (FGCS) refers to non-medically indicated cosmetic surgical procedures which change the structure and appearance of the healthy external or internal genitalia of women.
According to figures from Medicare, the number of women undergoing FCGS in Australia has increased dramatically in recent years.
It appears that in response to changing cultural norms this surgery is increasingly being sought by women who want to either feel 'normal' or look 'desirable'.
As a result, GPs are increasingly managing patients who present seeking surgery due to the concerns about the appearance of the genitalia.
Female genital cosmetic surgery - A resource for general practitioners and other health professionals provides information on what FGCS is, the factors driving demand, and a set of practical recommendations on how to manage women requesting referral for FGCS or expressing concern regarding their genitalia.

Podrick Payne
Podrick Payne[edit]
Podrick Payne is the distant cousin of the more famous Ser Ilyn Payne, the King's Justice. He is a young man currently serving as a squire to Tyrion Lannister, hoping to attain the experience and knowledge needed to become a knight.
Podrick is a young member of a cadet branch of House Payne. His parents died when he was young, so he was raised by a relative, Ser Cedric Payne, as a squire. Ser Cedric was killed in battle, so Pod was taken up as a squire by the hedge knight Ser Lorimer. When Ser Lorimer was hanged for stealing food from the baggage train, he was recruited by Tyrion Lannister as his squire.
Notably, Pod appears in the first Song of Ice and Fire novel, but his appearance in the TV show has been delayed until the second season.
He is played by Daniel Portman in the TV series.

We estimate the effects of policy distortions on aggregate productivity. Based on a model of plant production and productivity uncertainty and heterogeneity, and using Chilean manufacturing data, we focus on the effect of taxation on the exit behavior of plants. We find that taxes do distort the liquidation decisions of firms, suggesting that policy distortions reduce the extent to which factors are reallocated towards the most productive plants. Our results have important consequences for growth and development, as policies that alter the measure of plants that operate in equilibrium change the short-run response of output to exogenous shocks and the long run level of aggregate TFP. In particular, we find that the amount of productivity lost due to excessive plant shutdowns are very large.

Creator: Da-Rocha, Jose-Maria, Giménez Fernández, Eduardo Luís, and Lores Insua, Francisco Xavier Series: Advances in dynamic economics Abstract:
In this paper we will consider a simple small open economy with three assets - domestic capital, foreign securities and public debt - to study the government's incentives to devalue and to repay or default the debt. We show that the announcement of a devaluation is anticipated by domestic agents who reduce domestic investments and increase foreign holdings. Once a government devalues, the expectations vanish and the economy recovers its past levels of investment and GDP. However, in a country with international debt denominated in US dollars if a government devalues it requires a higher fraction of GDP to repay its external debt. In consequence, there exists a trade-off between recovering the economy and increasing the future cost of repaying the debt. Our main result is to show that, as devaluation beliefs exists, a devaluation increase government incentives to default and devalue. We calibrate our model to match the decrease in investment of domestic capital, the reduction in production, the increase in trade balance surplus, and the increase in debt levels observed throughout 2001 in Argentina. We show that for a probability of devaluation consistent with the risk premium of the Argentinian Government bonds nominated in dollars issued on April 2001 the external debt of Argentina was in a crisis zone were the government find optimal to default and to devalue.

Creator: Diaz, Antonia and Luengo-Prado, Maria José, 1972- Series: Advances in dynamic economics Abstract:
In most developed countries, housing receives preferential tax treatment relative to other assets. In particular (i) the housing services provided by owner-occupied housing (generally referred to as imputed rents) are untaxed and (ii) mortgage interest payments reduce taxable income. The potential economic distortions resulting from the unique treatment of housing may be substantial, especially in light of the fact that residential capital accounts for more than half of the assets in the U.S. In particular, this tax treatment distorts the households' portfolio composition, their saving rates and their tenure choice. In this paper we build a general equilibrium model populated by heterogeneous agents subject to idiosyncratic risk. We use this framework to quantitatively assess the macroeconomic and distributional distortions introduced by this preferential tax treatment. We also study the effects of alternative tax schemes which could correct the current system's bias.

Margin calls, trading costs, and asset prices in emerging markets : the financial mechanics of the 'sudden stop' phenomenon
Creator: Mendoza, Enrique G., 1963- and Smith, Katherine A. Series: Advances in dynamic economics Abstract:
"Sudden Stops " experienced during emerging markets crises are characterized by large reversals of capital inflows and the current account, deep recessions, and collapses in asset prices. This paper proposes an open-economy equilibrium asset pricing model in which financial frictions cause Sudden Stops. Margin requirements impose a collateral constraint on foreign borrowing by domestic agents and trading costs distort asset trading by foreign securities firms. At equilibrium, margin constraints may or may not bind depending on portfolio decisions and equilibrium asset prices. If margin constraints do not bind, productivity shocks cause a moderate fall in consumption and a widening current account deficit. If debt is high relative to asset holdings, the same productivity shocks trigger margin calls forcing domestic agents to fire-sell equity to foreign traders. This sets off a Fisherian asset-price deflation and subsequent rounds of margin calls. A current account reversal and a collapse in consumption occur when equity sales cannot prevent a sharp rise in net foreign assets.

Creator: Bartelsman, Eric J. and Beaulieu, J. Joseph Series: Joint committee on business and financial analysis Abstract:
This paper is the first of a series of explorations in the relative performance and sources of productivity growth of U.S. businesses across industries and legal structure. In order to assemble the disparate data from various sources to develop a coherent productivity database, we developed a general system to manage data. The paper describes this system and then applies it by building such a database. The paper presents updated estimates of gross output, intermediate input use and value added using the BEA=s GPO data set. It supplements these data with estimates of missing data on intermediate input use and prices for the 1977-1986 period, and it concords these data, which are organized on a 1972 SIC basis, to the 1987 SIC in order to have consistent time series covering the last twenty-four years. It further refines these data by disaggregating them by legal form of organization. The paper also presents estimates of labor hours, investment, capital services and, consequently, multifactor productivity disaggregated by industry and legal form of organization, and it analyzes the contribution of various industries and business organizations to aggregate productivity. The paper also reconsiders these estimates in light of the surge in spending in advance of the century-date change.

Why Men Should Consume Fruits And Vegetables
Men who follow a healthful diet could be protecting their brains, according to a new study that tracked a large group of men for more than 2 decades.
Men who follow a healthful diet could be protecting their brains, according to a new study that tracked a large group of men for more than 2 decades.
A recent study on men with metabolic syndrome published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that a natural compound that occurs in red wine could help battle osteoporosis.
The compound, resveratol, is part of a group of plant compounds known as polyphenols. Resveratol has anti-inflammatory properties that previous studies done on mice and rats suggested could protect against bone loss.
Metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors that increase your risk for some of the most common diseases – heart disease, diabetes and stroke among others, and has been linked to bone loss due to inflammation.
In the study, the participants – 66 year old overweight men – were given either different doses of resveratol or a placebo for 16 weeks, and then their bone mineral density and signs of bone formation and resorption was analyzed.
At the end of the study, the men who received resveratol showed significant bone growth. The results indicated that the higher the dose of resveratol, the more benefits were shown.
Marie Juul Ornstrup, MD from Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark, one of the study's authors said:
Our study is the first to reveals resveratol's potential as an anti-osteoporosis drug in humans.
She added,
our findings suggest the compound stimulates bone forming cells within the body.
Other studies also suggest that resveratol is linked to other health benefits as well, such as protection for the heart, preventing blood clots by reducing bad cholesterol and cancer fighting qualities.
However, you should still moderate your consumption of red wine, as large quantities over time can cause damage in excess. While resveratol shows great promise for its health benefits, some other studies have shown that it may also reduce the positive benefits of exercise on the heart in older men. Eating plenty of red grapes when they are in season may be your best bet to reap the benefits of this compound that scientists have called the "miracle molecule".

Intel's Global Media Director: TV Is Still Big For Us
Julie Keshmiry, global media director, Intel has told the audience of Adobe's Summit event in Las Vegas television remains a big part of its marketing and advertising plans despite the industry being a little crap at moving into the 21st Century.
"As a brand we have a lot of things on our mind when it comes to marketing and advertising right now. I'll share two key things. We are increasingly taking greater control of our data and our advertising tech stack program.
"We brought some programmatic in-house, but we also do rely on our agency partners for a lot of things as well. Regardless our belief is transparency and access to the data can really only be had with a direct relationship with an ad-tech platform," she said.
Keshmiry was brought onto the main stage of Adobe's event to outline her use of the newly minted Adobe Advertising Cloud, formerly TubeMogul wrapped around a few of the other former Marketing Cloud products. She was joined by Adobe's newly appointed VP and GM Advertising Cloud Brett Wilson, who was the founder of TubeMogul.
"The second thing I'll mention today is that we're trying to take a greater audience first approach. We are working towards building robust audience profiles informed by data and to use that to architect better customer journeys."
Keshmiry said Intel was using Adobe's Audience Manager and she has found the company is really able to efficiently get at its first-party data and pull it and push it out with high match rates to better inform its advertising strategies.
"Digital is a big part of our mix, but so is television. As an industry we just seem to be accepting television and the evolution of it, along with automation and data capabilities, is a long way behind digital. And it's at a slow pace."

Biology is the study of life and of all living organisms. We are fortunate to live in a time when unique insights from brilliant minds of the past have combined with modern research techniques to spark an explosion of fascinating new biological information. From exploring DNA and cellular structure to discovering the origins of a species or pairing a modern understanding of physiological processes with the historical study of anatomy, the field of biology allows us to connect to and understand the world around us. A strong foundation in the basic principles of biology is essential to those who wish to work in the life and health sciences, as well as those who wish to sustain and protect the natural environment.
The College of Natural and Computational Sciences offers two pathways leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in biology. The General Biology track provides a broad yet integrated curriculum across a range of biological science topics including ecology and animal, plant, and cellular biology. The Human and Health Sciences track focuses on molecular and human biology, with coursework including advanced aspects of human health and social sciences - from microbiology to psychology and anthropology to health management. In both curriculum options, the biology degree program at HPU integrates modern laboratory methods and field experiences with traditional classroom instruction, providing excellent preparation for employment or continued studies for future biologists, science educators, health professionals, researchers, and many other paths.
As a volcanic island isolated in the Pacific Ocean, Hawai'i is a great place to study biology. Our program is able to utilize the unique terrestrial and marine ecosystems, cultural diversity, and Pacific connections only found in Hawai'i. The rich indigenous history and current human impacts on the environment provide additional exciting opportunities and insights.
The academic atmosphere at HPU promotes excellence in scientific scholarship by allowing students to enjoy small class sizes and extensive laboratory and field exercises using modern instrumentation and techniques proven to develop the skills and practical experiences needed to be a functional biologist.
Students have opportunities to participate in high-quality research projects with faculty members as well as internships in the wider community.
All interested students are welcome to be part of the "Pre-Health Professions Program", a formal mentoring and guidance program that helps students prepare for graduate and doctoral degrees in the health professions. This program offers one-on-one guidance and support to students along with peer and community activities to develop leadership and cultural competence skills.
Students who major in Biology will:
Apply the fundamental knowledge, principles, processes, and systems in the natural sciences to solve biological problems.
Integrate advanced concepts across the breadth of biology subject areas, including cellular, molecular, and organismal biology, ecology, evolution, and the diversity of life.

When you have a sudden craving for a certain food there is nothing that can stop you. I would hope in my car and drive 10 minutes down the road to get some of my favorite buffalo wings.
What happens when you get your food that you were craving and it isn't what you wanted. Maybe they added tomatoes or maybe them forgot something. When there is something forgotten you have to play the game in your head of do you really want to go back? Do you really want to get back into that car? Do you really want to tell them that they were wrong? Usually I say never mind maybe next time they are human after all.

Eight years after it was started by a 19-year-old college freshman as a blogging software, WordPress now powers 14.7 percent of the world's top one million websites. It is used in 55 million websites.
In his annual State of The Word address last week, WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg also said the open source content management system (CMS) now runs 22 out of every 100 new websites created in the US.
The velocity in WordPress adoption and its dominance illustrate the strength of the open source model, where the community is involved in the development of the software. It is not a coincidence that the top open source CMS packages today, WordPress and Drupal, also have the most active developer and user communities.

Today we are back into our study on the Sermon on the Mount. Last week we began the teachings of Jesus on prayer and today we will continue in that.
And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen [do]. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. Matthew 6:7-8 NKJV
Today's lesson is simple. It is merely to let your prayers be genuine. As we learned last week, at that time, the Pharisees said specific prayers at specific times. They were always the same prayers and always the same words. This is much like today where certain churches say the same exact prayers week after week. Some Christians say the same prayers each and every day. One example of this would be the Lord's Prayer, which will be addressed tomorrow. The problem is that when we use a repetitive prayer over and over again, it loses its meaning. It becomes a rehearsed set of robotic words that are said just to say them. Our prayers to God become an empty recital much like a performer who performs the same routine time and time again. Can you imagine if you gave the same speech to your husband or wife each and every day and counted that as conversation? That would be silly and you would soon have spouses who question just how you feel about them. Remember, prayer is our conversation with God. It is a time of closeness with a God we love and Who loves us. To come to Him with the same set of words over and over again betrays that relationship. It is no longer a conversation with God at all. It becomes cold, empty, and meaningless.
Another issue the idea of repetitive prayer brings to mind are those who use prayer as some kind of a spell. Some take verses in the Bible way out of context and teach that if we use specific words or a specific prayer, things can and will happen. We take things like the Prayer of Jabez and turn it into a whole theology based on that one short passage. We quote other prayers we read others say in the Bible and expect the same the same things to happen to us. Prayers become spells or incantations where it becomes about our words and not about Whom we speak them to. Please note that our prayers have no power in and of themselves. If they did, then it would not matter to whom you prayed. You could pray to Jehovah, Buddha, Hugh, or even a head of cabbage named Ralph. It would not matter. The fact is, though, our words do not have any power. Remember, it is God who is sovereign, not us. It is God who has the power and it is He who decides whether and how to act on our requests. Please do not ever think to use your prayers as incantations or spells. First of all, it will not work. Secondly, you are trying to make yourself lord over God.
Jesus brings up another point in this short lesson. Last week He addressed showing off before man. This week He is addressing showing off to God. Jesus says "For they think that they will be heard for their many words." Many are very good at not praying before men, but even before God they can not help but to show off. They will recite not only long prayers that I mentioned earlier, but they will spend a very long time doing it. Please do not think I am saying that it is wrong to spend a long time in prayer. What I am saying is that it is wrong to spend a long time in prayer for the sake of spending a long time in prayer. If you do spend a long time in prayer, it should be natural and not forced. God is not impressed with how long we pray, He is impressed with the heart behind our prayer. Just like any of our conversations, sometimes those prayers will be very short and sometimes they will very long. If you look at the examples of the prayers recorded for us in Scripture, you will see that they are generally not very long at all. You can read just about any of the Psalms in a matter of a minute or two and the other recorded prayers really are not all that much longer. Extending your prayer as some obligation you think you have do to impress God will do nothing for your prayer life. Would you want to spend time with someone who was "forcing" themselves to spend additional time with you? Of course not and God is no different.
Jesus is not only speaking of the length time time we spend in prayer, but the amount of talking we do during that time. Jesus continues "For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him." We often think we need to make sure we recite each and every item on our celestial shopping list before God and if we forget we can not expect to receive it. This is even taught by some false teachers today. People in the Faith Movement often teach that you must be very specific in your prayers, telling God exactly what it is that you want. Apparently they did not read this verse. Apparently they think that God is some sort of Star Trek Replicator where if we ask for the wrong thing we will get the wrong thing. Apparently, they think that God has no ability to think for Himself. Even worse, they think that if you do not tell God what you want, He has no way of knowing. I am glad we do not have a God like that! If I knew everything I needed or what the answer to all my prayers should be, I would not need God nearly as much as I do! I praise God that He knows what I need before I even ask for it and that despite my feeble brain trying to figure things out, I have a God who already knows and will answer to needs I do not even know that I have. We should not spend so much time in prayer focusing on each and every thing we feel we need to ask for. We should spend time talking to Him. He knows what we need. He knows what we want to ask for. As we pray and talk to Him, most of things will come up anyway. If they do not come up, we can rest in the faith that God does not rely on our memory. Please do not fall into the trap of thinking that if you do not remember to ask, that God will not give it. Just spend that time with God without worrying about what is on your list and you will see those things taken care of anyway.
The main theme behind today's lesson is just to be genuine in your times of prayer. Do not try to impress God with long flowing words or by staying in prayer for an exceptionally long time as those do not impress God. What we need to do is just spend time with our Father. We need to speak to Him and hear from Him. Sometimes we will pray for a few minutes and sometimes we may pray for a few hours. The point is to not time yourself but just to pray. When we do pray, we also should not recite some repetitious prayer that we say time and time again that has lost any semblance of meaning, if it ever had one to begin with. What we need to do is just speak our hearts to God. We also need to understand that we are speaking to a Person and to our Father. We can not use our prayers as some kind of a spell in order to compel God to act in a certain way. God is not some celestial miracle machine just waiting for us to input our requests. We need to humble ourselves to God and accept that He will act however and whenever He desires and trust that His answer is always the best answer. Finally, we must not make our times a prayer just a time to recite our honey-do list for God. We all have requests, but you can not say you are developing a relationship when all you do is recite some list of requests and demands. God knows what we need and what we desire and we just need to have that time of fellowship and conversation and trust that God knows all those things. Do not plan your prayer or make sure you are hitting on everything you wanted to hit on. That makes the conversation cold and loveless. Can you imagine the only time someone you loved talked to you was to give you a list of requests or that whatever list of requests they had was all they seemed to be thinking about? It would be hurtful and even offensive.
All in all, what we learned today was to just spend time with your Father. We can not impress God with shallow representations of what we believe a righteous person would do because God sees the heart behind the show. We can not tell God something He does not already know or ask for something He does not know we need. And so when our focus is on the show and we fill the time with our words, we miss something very important. We miss God speaking back to us. We miss God telling us answers to questions we did not even know to ask, telling us things we never knew we needed to know, and showing us things we could never have imagined seeing.
Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God [is] in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few. Ecclesiastes 5:2 NKJV

Hello! My name is Ginger Belle. I started modeling about a year and a half ago to make some easy side money while I was finishing my bachelor's degree. The first thing I learned is that modeling is not easy. However, the effort is well worth it.
Right before I started modeling, I rescued a cat off the street. Unbeknownst to me at the time, he had diabetes and was dying of organ failure. In addition to my double major, I was working three jobs to support my new fur baby. I never asked to be a model, but when I was first approached, I jumped on the opportunity. Luckily, I was surrounded by the right people from the beginning willing to teach and invest in my success. I was offered opportunities I didn't deserve, and I took advantage of each one learning as much as could. Modeling evolved into not only a job but a lifestyle. This chapter in my life granted me the luxury of quitting my jobs to redirect my energy towards finishing school.

Can I apply for a Pool Certificate of Compliance?
Yes, the owner of any premises on which a swimming pool is situated may apply to the Council for a certificate of compliance with respect to the swimming pool.
For a fee of $150 Council will conduct an inspection of the pool. If the Council is satisfied that the swimming pool complies with the requirements of the Act , Council must issue to the applicant a certificate to the effect that, as at the date on which it is issued, the swimming pool complies with those requirements. If the inspection reveals the child resistant barrier is inadequate, Council may direct the owner to upgrade prior to issuing the certificate.

Reading 125kHz passive tags from a distance isn't very easy. I suspect it's a lot easier to sniff other devices you carry.

Over the next few weeks, three blog – Lawfare, InterCross (the blog of the ICRC) and EJIL:Talk! – will host a joint blog symposium on International Law and Armed Conflict. The series will feature posts by some of the participants at the Third Transatlantic Workshop on International Law and Armed Conflict, which was held at the University of Oxford this summer. As with previous years, the Transatlantic Workshop brought together senior government officials, senior military lawyers and leading academics from the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Israel and Switzerland. The two day workshop focuses each year on a range of critical issues in the law of armed conflict. This summer, there was a particular focus at the workshop on the judicial application of international humanitarian law, with sessions dedicated to the application of the law of armed conflict by human rights tribunals; international criminal tribunals; and by national courts. In addition, the workshop also engaged in discussions on direct participation in hostilities; humanitarian access in armed conflict; and foreign intervention in non-international armed conflicts.
The first post in the series – "Direct Participation in Hostilities- What are the Issues and Where are the Controversies?" – by Marco Sassoli (University of Geneva) is now available on InterCross. In his concluding paragraph he argues that:
" . . . it is this preliminary question whether and in which circumstances someone who is not a combatant may be targeted even while not DPH [taking a direct part in hostilities] that is at the heart of the controversies surrounding the ICRC DPH Guidance, rather than the question of what conduct actually constitutes direct participation. On this latter question the Guidance has suggested a definition. Today several experts and officials criticize some aspects of this definition. Experts representing militaries are however mostly obsessed by – and object to – first, the application, by the ICRC, of the principle of military necessity to the targeting of individuals directly participating in hostilities and second, by what they refer to as the 'revolving door' phenomenon. That a civilian regains protection once s/he no longer directly participates, regardless of whether s/he may possibly directly participate in the future, is however, an unavoidable result of the clear wording of Article 51(3) of Protocol I and of Art. 13(3) of Protocol II. If the fact of having directly participated in hostilities once or several times had the effect of turning civilians into combatants or members of armed groups, the crucial criteria relevant to determining whether an individual is a member of an armed group – belonging, responsibility and command – would become irrelevant. From a pragmatic point of view, I wonder how a soldier confronted with a civilian not directly participating can be expected to know that the individual did previously engage in direct participation and/or is likely to do so again. To make such speculations the basis for decisions over life or death is dangerous, including for the great majority of harmless civilians."
Forthcoming posts in the series are as follows:
- "Querying the Roles for Human Rights Bodies in the Interplay between International Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law" – Joanna Harrington (University of Alberta) – Lawfare – September 10
- "Application of International Humanitarian Law by Domestic Courts" – Lawrence Hill-Cawthorne (Reading University) – EJIL:Talk! – Sept. 15
- "The Development of International Humanitarian Law by International Criminal Courts and Tribunals" – Sandesh Sivakumaran – InterCross – September 17
- "Application of International Humanitarian Law by Domestic Courts" – Jeff Kahn (Southern Methodist University Law School) – Lawfare – September 22
- "The Legal Framework for Humanitarian Relief Operations in Armed Conflict" – Dapo Akande and Emanuela Gillard (Oxford University) – EJIL:Talk! – Sept. 25
The joint blog series arising from the workshop follows on from our collaboration in hosting a similar series last year (see here, here and here and here for the report of the 2014 workshop). The Transatlantic Workshop is organized and sponsored by the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict, the Oxford Martin Programme on Human Rights for Future Generations (both of which I co-direct), the International Committee of the Red Cross Delegations for the United States and Canada and for the United Kingdom and Ireland, the South Texas College of Law (through the good offices of Geoff Corn), and the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law at the University of Texas (directed by Bobby Chesney). It has been a fantastic collaboration and a privilege to work with all these people.

This 1967 Shelby G.T. 500 has been sitting for 26 years with only 54,000 miles on the odometer.
A Potent Shelby Sits Idle In New Jersey
Brothers George and Randy Porubski are dyed-in-the-wool Blue Oval fans. Not only have they bought, collected, and restored too many Ford products to count on their collective toes and fingers over the last 30 years, but they also have made the restoration hobby their fulltime job. They own and operate Perogie Enterprises in Hightstown, New Jersey, a company that supplies "must-have" parts and services to the discriminating Ford restoration junkie. Need a rare part for that Mustang, Torino, or other Ford model? These guys probably have it.
Back in 1980, George owned a sweet '68 Shelby G.T. 500. Though it was the real deal and a highly sought-after ride, it wasn't exactly what he wanted. When Randy purchased a 1967 Shelby G.T. 500 for himself, good 'ol George knew that his brother's newly acquired Shelby would have to be his. Luckily Randy was more than game to trade their rides, as he actually preferred George's '68 to his freshly acquired '67. So the brothers swapped Shelbys, and George got his dream car. On the flipside, Randy was just as joyful as his bro. It was win/win all around.
The '67 was in decent shape when George got his mitts on it. Though the original Lime Gold paint was covered with a shade of red, the rest of the car was original and intact, including all the important parts that make a Shelby a Shelby. Parts like the original 428, the original transmission, rearend, gauges, wooden steering wheel, and rollbar were all present and accounted for. The paint, unfortunately, was in a sorry state; it had faded severely in several spots. So George decided to pull the motor and take care of a few necessities to get this Shelby back in top form.
Once the 428 was out, the owner decided to tuck the engine away for safekeeping. George had other plans for the car's motor motivation brewing in his car-crazy cranium. A red repaint was ordered up first, and so the Shelby got a reskin in '67 T-code enamel. But now, to fill the vacant engine bay, a 427 medium-rise motor was built and installed. The big-block was standard bore, stuffed with 12.5:1 slugs, topped with a 2x4 tunnel wedge, and finished off with a set of Hooker headers. Being a collector of rare speed parts, even George was quite proud of the 427's radical intake—a NASCAR piece topped with a pair of 600-cfm Holleys.
Needless to say, the car was an animal on the streets. The 427 made the Shelby into a true race car. But the accolades didn't stop there. She was as beautiful as she was fast, and the brothers showed the 'Stang whenever they could. Since they were members of the Shelby American Automobile Club, their G.T. 500 hit the show circuit. In 1982, at SAAC 7, the car made an appearance at the Shelby Convention held at Pocono Raceway. At the meet, George ran the car on the open track with the headers uncorked and was clocked at 148 mph! The brothers, and employee Larry Tanedo, took turns bringing friends out for rides (which you could still do back then), running the Shelby the way it was meant to be run.
The car was also an object of admiration in the brother's respective families. Many a time the blazing red Shelby was rolled into "show and tell" day at their kid's elementary schools. Imagine the unlucky classmate who had to go on after one of the Porubski's kids had their dad rumble into the parking lot with that nasty 427 throwing all that horsepower down to the pavement. I guess that next kid's pet frog didn't seem so cool after that display.
In 1988, the Shelby went into the garage at Perogie and the potent 427 was pulled out. It sat with an empty engine bay for more than 20 years. Not forgotten, really, but just "put aside" when life's duties came calling. By now their business had blossomed, and all that extra time they had earlier had dwindled. Family life was put first, as it should be, and the Mustang took a back seat to wives, kids, and of course the business.
In 2009 some steps were taken to get the car back on the road. The original 428, which had been pulled back in 1981, was freshened up and reinstalled. The motor was broken in while the car sat in the garage. George ran it for a good two hours, making sure that the big-block would once again deliver its original dose of horsepower. The transmission was also rebuilt with new bearings and gaskets, and a 31-spline Trac-Lok unit was added out back. New four-caliper discs were installed along with Ford rotors for precise stopping power. Once these modifications were completed, the Shelby went back to another peaceful slumber for the last five years and has not been reintroduced to the winding rural roads around Hightstown as of yet.
With only 54,000 miles on it, the '67 still has a lot of life ahead of her. George plans to get her out again one day but just doesn't feel the need to rush. Hey, after 26 years, what's a few more months—or years—to make sure you get it right? Knowing the handiwork of these two brothers, there's no doubt this G.T. 500 will once again tear up the streets of Jersey, and do it with the style that only a true Shelby can deliver.

The Reverend
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney raised a couple million dollars in Las Vegas last night at a fundraiser hosted by Donald Trump. Trump has been actively pushing the buttons of race-challenged and zombified conservative voters for over a year now using Birtherism as his main attention-getting device. Trump, as many already know, once led GOP presidential candidate polls. Donald Trump....no joke....was seen by potential conservative voters as the leading candidate to replace Barack Obama.
Trump loudmouthed his way in front of media stenographers last spring just long enough to see his teevee show renewed for another season. Conservative voter desperadoes at the time loved the twice, or thrice, bankrupted Trump, touting him as an Experienced and Serious Business Person who could "fix'" our economy.
But what the more hateful conservatives really liked about Trump is what those same voters liked, at least temporarily, about Newt Gingrich. Trump and Gingrich fed conservative voters red, though rotted and worm infested, winger-meat. Trump gave conservative haters-of-Obama what they wanted to hear.....Obama is not one of us, not a "real" American. Obama is a Usurper, born in Kenya. Obama is an impostor, not a U.S. citizen. Obama is the "other" whom all Americans should run away from.
Before Donald Trump entered the presidential campaign gossip-a-thon last year, he was a repulsive character, more cartoonish than anything else. A super-narcississtic, personalized symbol of all that is wrong with American excess.
Last night the GOP presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, was dismissive of any questions regarding potential guilt-by-association birther scarring of his campaign by cheerfully appearing with the guy arch-conservative George Will called a "bloviating ignoramus." When asked about the birds-of-a-feather-flocking-together thing, Romney......well....let's say Romney was no John McCain...
�I don�t agree with all the people who support me, and my guess is they don�t all agree with everything I believe in,� Romney told reporters.
That is good enough for our conservative, tax-cut lusting establishment.. Of course, in 2008, that wasn't good enough for Barack Obama....he was forced by Village pearl clutchers to repudiate his relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Romney needs the money Trump can raise......and what Romney is proving by sitting at the feet of one of our nation's biggest human embarrassments....is that he will do anything to become president. In the end, Romney is a man who has very little political integrity.
To me, this is not anything new. Romney stood in one of the GOP primary debates confronted with a question about whether he had undocumented workers doing his landscaping on one of his many Mansions. Romney's response was illuminating....
"So we went to the company, and we said, 'Look, you can't have any illegals working on our property. I'm running for office, for Pete's sake! I can't have illegals!' "
The implication was transparent. If Romney was not running for president, then, "illegals working on our property" would be no big deal. But a perception by voters, according to Romney, that the former governor running for president had "illegals" doing his menial labor, would hurt his chances to become the GOP candidate for the presidency.
Why was that, exactly? Conservative, red-winger-meat eating voters would like to see the millions of undocumented immigrants of Hispanic origin sent back to their birth countries....all of them....and Romney knew that he couldn't be seen as consorting with the undocumented enemy, as it were, and still run successfully for president. 'For Pete's sake....conservatives voters won't vote for me if they think I'm soft or two-faced on 'illegals'....I can't have any 'illegals' working at my houses and expect to be the conservative candidate for president.'
But, for Pete's sake.....Romney has no concern over being smeared-by-association with Donald Trump. Mitt isn't concerned that Trump's over-the-top, wall-to-wall, horsesh*t-spouting over Obama's citizenship will.....well....rub off on him in any negative way.
Why would that be, exactly? Because many, many conservative voters agree with Trump's birtherism. Make no mistake, conservatives and Republicans will tell you, feigning seriousness, that Obama's birthplace is not an issue any longer.....but what they will not do is state publicly that those who still tout Birtherism should drop the issue.
John McCain demonstrated integrity in 2008 when he corrected a confused winger-woman calling Obama an "Arab". "No", McCain said, "Obama is a decent person and a person you don't have to be scared of as president ."
4 years later, GOP candidate Romney buddies up to Donald Trump, enthusiastically accepts Trump's endorsement....and remains entirely silent about the birtherism lunacy which Trump still espouses every chance he gets.
One of those two GOP presidential candidates exhibited personal and national integrity, one of those candidates did not.

I believe my love for photography started when I was very young. I was on a family trip to Orcas Island in the San Juan's and I took a picture with a cheap disposable. It was terrible, but that's when it all began. Over the years have been slowly getting more and more involved And thanks to my love of activity and the outdoors, I of course eventually landed in landscape photography. Over the past 12 years I have been developing my style and abilities and I continue to grow more and more. I hope you enjoy all the photos I have to offer.
