IMC 2006: Sessions
Session 1017: Picturing Emotional Affect in Law Books
Wednesday 12 July 2006, 09.00-10.30
Moderator/Chair: | Elina Gertsman, School of Art & Design, Southern Illinois University |
Paper 1017-a | Gesturing the Law: Marginal Images and Verbal Transposition in Justinian's Digest (Language: English) Index terms: Art History - General, Law, Manuscripts and Palaeography |
Paper 1017-b | Gestures of Marriage: The Iconography of Marriage in 13th-Century Manuscripts of Canon Law (unconfirmed) (Language: English) Index terms: Art History - Painting, Canon Law, Mentalities, Social History |
Paper 1017-c | Can Legal Texts Convey Emotions?: Medieval Iberian Legal Discourses on Inter-Faith Unions (Language: English) Index terms: Islamic and Arabic Studies, Language and Literature - Comparative, Language and Literature - Spanish or Portuguese, Law |
Abstract | Abstract paper -a: The images in the Digestum vetus (Kornik Library, 824) that I shall examine represent a set of 21 historiated initials and about 230 marginal compositions, illustrating the text. In most cases, they are limited to human figures performing an action evoked by a juridical casus in the Justinian's text and providing a visual equivalent of the written 'narrative'. As quasi-linguistic components of the image, gestures play an important role in this transpositional game. In my approach, I will focalise on the different modalities of depicted gestures: the conventional ones, derived from the juridical practice, and the ones codified in the pictorial tradition. Abstract paper -b: By the end of the 12th century, the marriage legislation of canon law was established. It was in many ways, notably the theory of consent and indissolubility, contrary to secular ideas of marriage. In this paper, I study if and how this new concept of marriage was reflected in the illuminations that accompanied the legal texts. Which gestures were used to convey the idea of marriage? What symbols? Were there any regional differences, and what do they in that case reflect? My material consists of illuminations in 13th-century manuscripts of Liber Extra from northern France and Italy. Abstract paper -c: 'Muslim women shall be prevented from entering their abominable churches, for the priests are evil-doers, fornicators, and sodomites' (Ibn 'Abdun, Hisba Manual). In his sexualized portrayal of Christian priests, Ibn 'Abdun addresses the issue of interfaith relationships with indignation and disgust. Such outburst is in contrast to other legal texts that regulated cross-cultural unions in a more succinct manner: 'If a woman is surprised with a Moor or with a Jew, both should be burned alive' (Fuero of Cuenca). It is my aim to analyse the different ways in which Islamic and Christian legal discourses from Medieval Iberia convey feelings in dealing with the highly emotional issue of interfaith sexual relationships. |

For Oh Soo-hyun, the mother of a 4-year-old boy in Seoul, last year was a nightmare.
"Turning Mecard," she said. "I've been searching for this everywhere, almost every single day. But even though I get it one by one, the company keeps producing different models. … It has no end."
Oh is one of many Korean parents pressured by their kids who are captivated by the hit TV animation series. The action-adventure series features dozens of minicars and main characters who control them with their mysterious cards. When touching a card, minicars transform into huge physical things, such as robots, animals and a vampire.

Edge of Grid
When computing the Grids | Edit | Filter values of the output nodes near the edge of the grid, the specified neighborhood may extend outside the range of the grid. This presents an issue because the output grid nodes are then functions of non-existent input grid nodes. There are three general ways of dealing with this issue: assign the NoData value to the output grid nodes near the edge, modify the defining function near the edge, or generate artificial input grid nodes beyond the edge upon which the defining function operates. The following methods for handling the edge are as follows:
Assign NoData
Any grid node, for which its neighborhood overlaps one or more edge, is assigned the NoData value. For example, if the neighborhood size is 3×3 then every application of the filter assigns the NoData value to one line of nodes on each edge. Every application of the filter shrinks the active grid by two rows and two columns: one row on the top, one row on the bottom, one column on the left edge, and one column on the right edge. Similarly, a 5×5 filter neighborhood Assigns the NoData value to four rows and four columns every application.
Ignore is the default setting. In this case, the filter function is modified by truncating the neighborhood at the edge of the grid. For example, in the Neighborhood section, even though the general neighborhood is specified to be 3×3, the effective neighborhood of node (21, 0), on the left edge of the grid, is only 3×2:
(22, 0) (22, 1)
(21, 0) (21, 1)
(20, 0) (20, 1)
This approach to handling the edges applies an essentially different function near the edges than in the middle of the grid. This can cause unexpected, visually apparent, artifacts in some extreme cases.
The edge grid node value is copied. For a grid with M rows and
The grid node value pattern at the edge is mirrored. For a grid with M rows and
Cyclic Wrap
The grid is wrapped in two dimensions. If you go off the grid on the right edge, you come back on the left; if you go off on the top you come back on the bottom, etc. For a grid with M rows and
Fill the edge with a specified constant. A common value for the fill is the arithmetic average of the grid.
where A is the user-specified constant. Enter a number into the Value box to the right when using this option.

Paris has opened the first sex doll brothel for customers who prefer the feel of plastic over the touch of a real woman. The sex club offers the services of a silicone model instead of a prostitute.
The inside of the brothel has four different dolls of different shapes, colors, and sizes dressed in skimpy lingerie, for the customers to choose from The rooms are adorned with images of other sex dolls.
France is not the first country to offer a sex doll brothel, Britain's been offering customers a "try before you buy" service for a while now.
A pop-up sex doll brothel opened in Amsterdam's red light district, paid for with taxpayers' money, a few weeks ago
The hosts of the TV show "Spuiten en Slikken" ("Shoot and Swallow"), a show about drugs and sex on Dutch public television, opened the unusual brothel.
The TV hosts are trying to lure tourists to have sex with one of the dolls, which would cost them $37, during the one-day event.
Spokesman Thijs Verheij said the show tries to find out if the world is ready to have sex with a doll and to compare the experience to having sex with a real human being.
Verheij said: "Scientists state that in 30 years, it will be very normal to have sex with a robot."
"With this experiment, we want to run ahead of this and investigate how people see it now."
A recent survey found that one in five Germans said they would like a robot sex doll and more than one in 20 say they could even fall in love with one.
It was reported in the summer of 2017 that sex doll Fanny was attracting more customers than real-life prostitutes at the Kontakthof brothel in the Austrian capital, Vienna. Now, the sex doll craze has taken Europe by storm.
Many other brothels in Vienna bought silicone sex dolls from Japan, while in the German city of Dortmund, the first-ever sex doll brothel opened.
A similar business has since opened in Barcelona, and an exclusive shop in Vienna only selling silicone life companions, an increasing number of people are wondering what sleeping with a doll would be like.
Oliver Bendel, a computer and business scientist who deals with questions of IT and machine ethics, said: "It will remain a niche."
According to Bendel, there is still a taboo when it comes to sex dolls despite research showing that many Germans would consider buying one.
Bendel said: "In the meanwhile, sex toys are openly discussed. But love balls and dildos are not left everywhere in plain view. And where do I hide a sex robot from my partner?"
Austrian psychologist Gerti Senger explained why some men are more interested in sleeping with sex dolls instead of a real woman: "First, the man can do anything with the doll. Second, every intention is turned off, which can be a factor with a prostitute."

Palaro's fastest man wins another gold
SAN JOSE, ANTIQUE—Sprint king Veruel Verdadero of Dasmarinas City can deliver high-octane velocity even in longer distances.
The fastest man in this year's Palarong Pambansa ruled the secondary boys 400 meters Thursday and joined the ranks of double-gold performers in athletics at the Binirayan Sports Complex track oval.
But the 15-year-old Verdadero, a bronze medalist in the 100m during the recent Southeast Asian Youth Athletics Championships in Ilagan, Isabela, isn't done yet.
"I want the 200m in my collection,'' said the two-time Batang Pinoy Games sprint double champion in Filipino. "I have to be in great shape tomorrow.''
Verdadero is the hands-down favorite in the 200m Friday after he topped the centerpiece 100m dash the other day in 10.96 seconds.
The incoming ninth grader from Emilio Aguinaldo College-Immaculate Concepcion Academy in Cavite clocked 49.58 seconds in the 400m, beating Marjun Sulleza of Socsargen (50.03 seconds) and fellow Calabarzon runner Jan Vincent Alejandro (50.06).
Germar Marcelo of Davao region later followed Verdadero's golden trail and won his second mint in secondary boys 3000m steeplechase following an earlier victory in the 5000m.

Best Man Speech Examples

The wedding isn't just a fun party with friends and relatives. It's also a deep soul connection, a unity ceremony, religious, formal rites, and wedding toasts from guests. Parents or siblings always tell toasts first. The best maids and men are usually the ones who speak next.
Those friends who don't speak in public could be worried. You could complete every wish in your head, but they still can easily disappear the moment you start to talk. So you need to train and be ready. We've compiled the most comprehensive list of the perfect wedding wishes for the best man.
Best Man Speech Structure Examples
You need to understand the main structure of each toast before you complete the words of greeting. Note your text according to the plan. Speak for less than 5 minutes to hold the concentration of all guests.
Wait for the most suitable moment of the wedding day timeline. Start with an introduction. The opening words should start with two short sentences about your relationship with the groom. Don't restrict yourself to facts and dates you met. It's better to add the first funny memory or an amusing situation that brought you together as friends.
Main part
You could choose 2 options for text. The first option is to thank the groom for his support, understanding, and joint achievements. It's necessary to highlight the features of the married couple you like the most. The second option is to concentrate on wishes. The ideal story must be connected to a fun event. You could describe how you were playing near the old tree house until it almost fell on the neighbor's beloved flowerbeds when you were kids. Associate wishes after this story with heavy materials for family construction, trust, and joint efforts.
This element is relevant for the version with wishes. It's definitely worth giving thanks to newlyweds at the end of the toast. Try to make this thank you unique. Think sincerely and tell about the situation when the friend seriously helped you avoid troubles.
Call to action
Do not forget to finish the speech by asking all guests to raise their drinks to a certain wish you talked about.
So, the quicker speech contains an introduction, mention, gratitude, and call to action. The prolonged speech version contains storytelling with wishes. To hold attention, you can arrange the toast with a video presentation, photo background, or a musical gift.
Best Man Speech Props Ideas
Speech props are just the item to help hold attention or visually provide your story with pictures and photos. It's especially true for childhood companions, classmates, or friends who've traveled a lot and have hundreds of pics together.
Use these props during your speech:
- Video film.
- Projector.
- A song you composed yourself about your friendship.
- Presentation with a photo collage.
- Children's photo album.
- Box of memories with things you have kept from your childhood.
- Interactive records. Write some memories and ask the newlyweds to select one piece of paper. Then tell this very story.
- The first gift you received from these married friends.
- Memorable gift from you.
- Bouquet or favorite sweets and snacks.
- Flash mob from all buddies.
You could accomplish without all these props if such visual preparation seems unnatural. However, if you could sing much better and more sincerely than you can express in simple words, then don't hesitate to sing.
Best Man Speech Examples and Jokes
Jokes are constantly best supported by the audience. It's nice when everyone laughs at the suitable moments instead of staring at phones and being bored. There are several possibilities to make joy during the toast:
- Joke about the upcoming first marriage night.
- Remind that everyone is waiting for their first child.
- Raise the eternal question of mother-son or father-daughter in a couple's relationship.
- Tell a prank from another event.
- Recall an amusing life story.
However, don't make fun of topics that will be unpleasant for the newlyweds. If they are child-free, you shouldn't joke about children. If you heard about a difficult relationship with parents, avoid this topic as well. Every joke should be light, funny, and appropriate. Better tell it in advance to a few other mates to make sure the trick is successful.
Funny Best Man Speech Examples
Here you could read some inspiring ideas for your future speech:
"I wish you to always be slightly drunk with each other, even without wine and champagne!"
"What kind of family do men and women consider exemplary? It's like in the animal world. Men believe that the finest family life is like a pride of lions when he is the king of animals, but I wish your family harmony is like dolphins. They are circling in the dance of love during all life, each time choosing each other over others!"
"I wish you a narrow bed, so you could rest on it only by hugging."
"I wish you some family mathematic things: division of sorrows and difficulties in half and the multiplication of your family through the birth of kids!"
"I once was at a wedding. The bride and the groom read the fairy tale "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" on their first night as a married couple. Now they have seven sons and a daughter! So let's raise a glass to the fact that our newlyweds read a fairy tale about seven dwarfs too!"
You could include references to music, movies, fairy tales, or famous stars who got married last year in your greeting for a humorous and successful metaphor.
Short Best Man Speech Examples
You are likely that man who doesn't want to make extended speeches. In that case, you should still have some short greeting ideas.
"I wish your hearts always be light with adoration and your pockets heavy with money!"
"I wish an unquenchable passion between newlyweds!"
"I wish only pleasant troubles fell on your shoulders, and you were forever together as one team!"
"For a strong and harmonious combination of both loving hearts!"
"The secret of a good marriage is hidden in some folk wisdom. You need to adore not as much as possible but for as long as possible!"
It's safe to tell that shortness is the sister of talent. Remember a unique situation and complement it with bright wishes, then your toast will become special.
Perfect Best Man Speech Examples
We've also selected some unique ideas for congratulating your closest buddy. Sometimes we don't need words to share happiness, but it is a great honor to say a toast to your best friends.
"My darlings! The Lord himself offered you a family heart! Constantly keep it warm, and it provides you a joyful family harmony!"
"Starting today, you have left our ranks of unmarried youth and entered a new era. Be the most satisfied person in the world!"
"I am incredibly pleased for my mate. Today, he became a real family man. Although I am not yet in danger of such a fate, I still want to wish you to live happily.
Summarizing everything, we could say that preparing a speech for best friends is very important. However, your desire to express your feelings sincerely is the most important thing. Find all the warmth and adore you feel for newlyweds, review the structure of the text, have a quiet evening, and note a unique text personalized for your relationship.

¿Fetterman 'Cumplirá'? Lieutenant governor's campaign releases a Spanish-language ad on local stations
Only 61% of eligible Hispanic voters are casting their ballots. Fetterman's new ad-buy may heighten political awareness of a crucial constituency.
Keeping it 100!
January 3rd, 2024Candidata Parker in AL DIA
November 5th, 2023LVF for Arroyo
August 2nd, 2023Parker v. Oh
August 1st, 2023A Historic Showdown
July 22nd, 2023An Even House
July 20th, 2023The VP Tour
July 14th, 2023Gutierrez' Senate Run
July 11th, 2023As Pennsylvania electors eagerly await election day with a record number of newly registered voters, U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman directed his campaign messaging to the Hispanic community with a new Spanish-language advertisement scheduled to air today, Sept. 8.
Radio listeners in Philadelphia, Wilkes Barre-Scranton, Lancaster, and Reading will get to hear the campaign's new message. The one-minute capsule titled "Cumplirá" features Gisele Barreto Fetterman's voice. She's PA's Second Lady and is of Brazilian descent.
Lealtad, or loyalty, is the heart of the ad's transmission. While not necessarily specifying any distinct political cause, the commercial hones in on Fetterman's loyalty to the Hispanic community.
"I know that a lot of the issues John is going to fight for in D.C. are issues that really resonate with Latino Pennsylvanians — from passing a $15 minimum wage, to protecting the union way of life, to protecting voting rights. These new ads are part of our ongoing effort to communicate John's message to these communities," said Barreto Fetterman in a statement.
Accompanied by bouncy, uplifting background music, Barreto Fetterman, 40, tells listeners that her husband has always been a man of community and wouldn't leave them behind as others have done.
The latest ad is the reported third form of outreach for Spanish-language voters, following PA Attorney General Josh Shapiro's release of an ad-buy in April of 2022 also in radio form. However, the former Braddock mayor was the first candidate on the left who, at the time, released a commercial in Spanish.
AL DÍA also reported the Republican ticket has no Spanish-language ads to be found in any medium.
Lealtad to the message
The campaign's efforts may signal new awareness of an oft-ignored Hispanic voting block, which has grown in numbers over the last decade, according to recent census data. Moreover, the regions targeted for the lieutenant governor's ad observed a marked increase in the Hispanic population in the tens of thousands, some of the largest in the Commonwealth.
While Emerson Polls indicate the election's battleground is the Commonwealth's suburbs, Fetterman's move could help swing voters who are more often than not removed from elections and political races.
"Both John and I have spent the last decade reaching out and engaging with the Latino and Spanish-speaking community, not just because they are an important voting bloc in Pennsylvania, but because they are part of the building blocks that make Pennsylvania so beautiful," Barreto Fetterman added.
Distanced, but not apathetic
New data shows that while Hispanics are not necessarily engaged in the political process, they're highly observant and care about critical partisan issues at stake. A poll conducted by UnidosUS found that while disengaged, Hispanic voters are not as apathetic as they are unconvinced.
"Latino voters' interest in participating in the midterms is not a guarantee of voter turnout. To turn out Latino voters, both parties must invest in reaching our community like they would any other valued constituency," said Irving Zavaleta, National Programs Manager at Mi Familia Vota, a nonprofit dedicated to driving Latino voter engagement.
Urgency surrounding outreach is poised to heighten as election day draws closer, and it remains to be seen whether other candidates will follow Fetterman's efforts to reach Pennsylvania Hispanics.

Plant Life Cycle: Introduction
Plants, like all living things, need to reproduce. (If a species doesn't reproduce, it will eventually become extinct.)
Like animals such as mammals, plants reproduce by combining special reproductive cells from two parent plants. This creates new plants with characteristics of both parents.
Unlike mammals, plants can also reproduce by creating exact copies, or clones, of themselves. This method of reproduction is known as vegetative reproduction. It is very common in the plant kingdom.
On this page you'll find out about both types of plant life cycle…
How New, Unique Plants Are Made
When two plants create offspring, special reproductive cells from each parent plant join together and grow into a new plant.
In this section, you'll find out about the life cycle of a flowering plant.
Flowering plants have the following characteristics:
- They grow from seeds
- Their seeds are enclosed in fruit
- They produce flowers
Botanists (scientists who study plants) call flowering plants angiosperms. This group of plants includes not only familiar flowers such as lilies and roses, but also many common trees (such as oaks and willows), and grasses.
Between 85 and 90% of all plants are flowering plants.
Other types of plant reproduce in different ways:
- Gymnosperms (cone-producing plants such as pine trees) reproduce using cones instead of flowers.
- Plants such as mosses and ferns grow from spores rather than seeds.
(A spore is a single cell from which a new organism can grow.)
- You can find out about other types of plants here: Types of Plant
Flowering Plant Life Cycle
Flowers are the reproductive organs of flowering plants.
The flowers of most flowering plants have both male and female parts (although some species produce flowers that are either male or female).
The male parts of a flower are called stamens; the female parts are called carpels.
In some species the carpels are joined together and called a pistil.
- You can find out more about the parts of a flower on this page: The Parts Of A Flower And What They Do
1. Pollen & Egg Production
Dust-like, microscopic granules called pollen are produced by a flower's anthers. A grain of pollen contains a plant's male reproductive cells.
The flower's female reproductive cells are contained within an ovule. Ovules are found in the flower's ovaries.
A new plant is produced when a grain of pollen joins with an ovule.
2. Pollen Dispersal
Some plants rely on the wind to disperse their pollen. Most plants, however, use animals to carry their pollen to other flowers.
Animals that perform this task are known as pollinators.
Most flowering plants are pollinated by insects, but some flowers are pollinated by birds, mammals (including bats) and even reptiles.
Flowers produce a sugary liquid called nectar to attract pollinators.
A flower's bright colors and scent are also adaptations to attract pollinators.
In order to get to the nectar, a pollinator such as a honey bee has to brush against the flower's anthers. This causes the sticky pollen to become attached to the insect's body.
As it moves from flower to flower, the honey bee transports pollen from one plant to another.
3. Pollination
Pollination occurs when a grain of pollen lands on a flower's stigma. The stigma is the tip of the female part of a flower.
This happens when a pollen-carrying animal brushes against the stigma of the flower.
Plants that are wind-pollinated often have large, feathery stigmas to catch pollen as it drifts past.
Upon landing on the stigma, the pollen grain will germinate.
A tube called a pollen tube grows from the pollen grain, down through the stalk of the female part of the flower.
Eventually, the tube enters the flower's ovary and reaches an ovule.
A reproductive cell from the pollen is transported down the pollen tube to the ovule.
Inside the ovule, the cell from the pollen joins with an egg cell. This creates a single, fertilized cell known as a zygote.
This cell is a new plant at the very beginning of its life.
4. Seed And Fruit Production
The zygote begins to divide, creating exact copies of itself. It develops into a plant embryo.
The ovule develops into a seed, which contains the plant embryo.
The only other type of plants to produce seeds are cone-producing plants such as pine and fir trees.
The ovary develops into a fruit, which contains the seed.
Flowering plants are the only type of plant to produce fruits.
5. Fruit Dispersal
Plants use a variety of methods to transport their seeds away from the parent plant.
Some fruit float, some are carried by the wind, some stick onto the fur of animals, while others taste good, which means that animals eat them, carry the seeds around in their stomachs, and poop them out away from the parent plant (it may be gross, but it's effective).
6. Seed Germination
With luck, the seed will end up somewhere suitable for it to be able to grow. When conditions are right it will germinate.
Shoots will appear from the seed and break through the soil. The seed contains food to fuel the developing plant as it grows.
As soon as the plant's first leaves appear, it will begin to photosynthesize. It will no longer be reliant on the food contained within the seed.
7. The Plant Life Cycle Is Complete
If the plant avoids being eaten, damaged, or falling victim to a parasite, and if it receives enough sunlight, water and nutrients, it will reach maturity.
At this point it will produce its own pollen and ovules, and the plant life cycle will be complete.
Plant Clones - Vegetative Reproduction
Plants are different from animals because they can make new plants all by themselves, without the help of another plant. This form of reproduction is known as vegetative reproduction.
This happens very often in the plant kingdom.
You may have seen 'baby plants' growing on the stem of a spider plant. Each of these small plants is an exact copy of their parent.
If the plantlets are removed from the stem and planted elsewhere, they'll continue to grow by themselves.
Many gardeners grow potatoes from other potatoes – a new plant will grow from each of the 'eyes' of the original potato. Like the mini spider plants, potatoes that grow from potatoes are clones of their parents.
One of the world's largest living organisms is a 106-acre forest of quaking aspen trees. All of the trees in the forest are clones.
(The forest is named Pando. It is located in Utah, United States. Source)
Depending on the species, clone plants can grow on the stems, roots, leaves and even flowers of the parent plant.
Cloned plants can create their own clones, thereby completing the plant life cycle.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Clones
The ability of a plant to clone itself can be very useful; a plant that makes clones doesn't have to find another plant to make new plants. This makes the plant life cycle quicker and easier.
However, there are disadvantages to this system.
If every plant of a certain species was exactly the same, then all would have the same weaknesses.
For example, suppose that every plant in a species was equally vulnerable to the cold. If the climate got colder, the species would become extinct.
If, however, some of the plants were better able to withstand the cold – perhaps because their branches were slightly thicker, then they would survive, and the species would avoid extinction.
This is why it is often beneficial for plants (and animals) to produce young that are different to themselves.
A plant with two parents inherits characteristics from both of its parents. It will therefore have strengths and weaknesses all of its own. This variety will make the species more able to cope with change.

Introduction: Simple Bottle Launcher
Collect three plastic bottles, wash them out and if you wish, remove the labels. Two need to have the same sized opening. Cylindrical bottles work best.
1 x 1l bottle
1 x 500ml bottle
1 x any other plastic (PET) bottle
Sticky tape
Step 1: Collect Two Plastic Bottles of Different Sizes
The bottles need to have different volumes, you can check this on the label on the back. One being at least double the other is recommended.
Step 2: Remove Labels
Take the two bottles with the same or similar sized openings. Wash them out and remove the labels.
Step 3: Cut Down Third Bottle
Cut the top and bottom off of the third bottle using scissors. Trim it down so it has neat edges.
Step 4: Cut Again
Cut a rectangular piece out of the trimmed down third bottle.
Step 5: Roll
Roll the rectangular piece into a tube the same diameter as the larger bottles opening. Stick tape around the rolled up piece of plastic to secure it.
Step 6: Test It Fits
Test that the tube fits in the opening tightly. If it is a bit loose, add more tape around the outside then try again. Keep repeating this until it has to be pushed in with a little force.
Step 7: Tape to Bottle
Place the tube inside the opening of the larger bottle and secure it with tape. Make sure there are no gaps through which air could escape.
Step 8: Launch!
Put the smaller bottle onto the other end of the pipe then squeeze the larger bottle to fire. If all has been done correctly, the smaller bottle should come flying off.
Step 9: Experiment
What does reducing the volume of the smaller bottle even further do? Try all different sizes and methods of squeezing the bottle to see how it effects the distance travelled.

Ukrainian officials will conduct a complete internal audit of procurements made by the country's armed forces, Ukraine's defense minister said, after a recent string of anti-corruption raids.
"We have launched an internal audit that checks all procurement systems. It is still in progress," Minister of Defence Oleksii Reznikov said. "And I think that within a week, they should officially complete the audit of all of the procedures for February. Then they will audit everything. And then, it will be 'put on the table' for appropriate decisions."
Some context: President Volodymyr Zelensky's recent anti-corruption push is viewed as a key step toward Ukraine's possible admission into the European Union.
Rooting out corruption is "an important dimension of the EU accession process," said Ana Pisonero, a spokesperson for the European Commission, on Jan. 24.
Ukrainian authorities uncovered stashes of cash, as well as luxury watches and cars, during raids carried out across the country last month.
Among those caught up in the investigations is the acting head of the Kyiv tax authority, who was allegedly part of a scheme to overlook $1.2 billion worth of Ukrainian hryvnia in unpaid taxes.

What Price Freedom?
What have we got for our money? Via Beltway Blogroll comes word that Rep. Diane Watson, a California Democrat, counts the cost.
I think $200 billion for peace and democracy is worth it if we had something to show for it. But we haven't gotten peace and democracy. Instead, the $200 billion has bought us* Over seventeen hundred Americans killed, more than 13, 000 wounded, and an unknowable number of Iraqi civilian deaths;
* A dysfunctional country that cannot move its political process forward;
* A new haven and proving ground for anti-American extremism;
* An insurgency in Iraq that has not diminished;
* A wellspring of mistrust from longtime friends and allies around the world;
* And a devastating erosion of American leadership and credibility.
Liberals like to throw money at a problem and expect it to go away. Likewise, Rep. Watson seems to think that throwing money at Iraq hasn't brought any of that, so we should cut and run. It's all a money issue. Well, it's not.
First of all, to be honest, the cost is higher than that. She alludes to it in her first bullet point, but frames it in a way to suggest that the $200 billion "bought" those casualties. That's a pretty cold-hearted view of those lives. Actually, those lives are part of the price. Is it worth it?
Did it buy peace? I guess if you think "peace" is simply the "absence of war", no, it didn't. But if you think mass graves and rape rooms are components of a country at "peace", I'd have to take a strong stand against your definition. The war's not over yet, true, but Iraqis are already seeing the benefits of being freed from under a murderous dictator. That's part of what has been bought.
Did it by democracy? I really can't think of a convoluted definition of "democracy" that would exclude what's going on in Iraq today. Instead of a dictator who represented the minority and gassed those who opposed him, you have a government that is working out its own way through debate rather than arms. It may not be moving as fast as Rep Watson would like, but it's still in its infancy, for goodness sake. Democracies don't spring up fully grown overnight in countries that have been ruled with an iron fist for generations.
Is Iraq a haven for terrorists? Yes, but it was that way long before we showed up. Abu Nidal, anyone? Cash rewards to families of suicide bombers? Not to mention that there is evidence of Abu Musab al Zarqawi taking advantage of the safe haven that Iraq provided before the Iraq war. Further examples of Iraq being a terrorist haven can be found here. We didn't "buy" this; it was there when we came, and at least now someone's working to eradicate it.
Have we lost the trust of allies and reduced our credibility? Well, if you're talking about losing the trust of France, who was doing secret, back-door oil deals with Hussein prior to the war, I'd say their reluctance to help out had more to do with that than any loss of trust. The Oil-for-PalacesFood program removed more credibility from those involved. If you're talking about the pre-war WMD intelligence being wrong, everybody was equally wrong about that, even those who now call Bush a "liar".
What Rep. Watson ignores are how much better, in general, the lives of the Iraqi people are. The good news from Iraq hardly hits the airwaves in its proper proportion. Just ask Arthur Chrenkoff, who recounts good news from Iraq and Afghanistan. There's a boatload of good to show for it, in addition to a fledgling democracy that she'd rather discount than encourage.
It's very true that the clean-up after the toppling of Hussein and installation of a democracy is taking longer than anyone would like. This is largely because of imported terrorists like Zarqawi trying to terrorize, not just the coalition, but the Iraqis themselves to scare them into renouncing this new government. So far, however, the political process is moving forward. Key milestones have been hit on time, bombings and assassinations notwithstanding. The prosperity of the nation is on the rise, sabotage by terrorists notwithstanding.
Yes, the price is high. The price of freedom always, always is. Be thankful that Rep. Watson wasn't around to decide whether or not to go to war against King George. If she'd gotten her way then, we'd still be a British colony. The cost in lives was much higher, but it was worth the price, don't you think?

Trackback Pings
I very much agree with this post. I was thinking about the same issue when I heard about all the billions or $ that the G8 had decided was going to solve Africa's problems. That's the modus operandi of these days, if there's a problem... the answer is more money. I'm sure good will come of the money going into Africa but as we've once again seen in Iraq its usually not as easy as throwing money around. In the economy of human life, the issues are cultural, philosophical, and emotional... not just a lack of funds.

Actually illegal (copyright legislation, I'd assume)? Or just against
publishing regulations?
In which case (having just ordered a US edition -- "cheap price, fast
delivery"), Amazon UK are either operating in ignorance, or are doing the
same thing to UK publishers that the publishers did to the Net Book
Agreement. Which I don't think is that bad a thing.

Since the big publishers were happy to break the NBA, I can't see them
complaining, since reduced prices generate higher sales. It's an
interesting policy, if it is deliberate. Because it might be the first
heave towards realigning the prices of books and CDs with American levels.

The San Francisco 49ers made one of the biggest moves in recent NFL history on Friday by trading up from 12th to third overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, sacrificing a huge haul to the Miami Dolphins to do so.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on the 49ers' blockbuster trade, which will see San Francisco send an additional two first-round picks to Miami:
This is an obvious indication that the 49ers are determined to upgrade their quarterback position from Jimmy Garoppolo. Meanwhile, Miami gets a ton of assets to continue its rebuild off a 10-win season.
Now that this deal is out in the world, let's take a look at the three likeliest moves to follow in the aftermath of this mind-boggling deal.
Read More: NFL world reacts to San Francisco 49ers blockbuster trade for No. 3 pick in 2021 NFL Draft
San Francisco 49ers trade up to take Justin Fields or Trey Lance in 2021 NFL Draft
The presumption is that Clemson's Trevor Lawrence will go first overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and there's reportedly a strong chance that the New York Jets take BYU signal-caller Zach Wilson with the second pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
That leaves two ideal QBs for head coach Kyle Shanahan to mentor in either Ohio State star Justin Fields or North Dakota State product Trey Lance.
It's unclear who San Francisco may prefer, or if general manager John Lynch might shock the world and take someone like Mac Jones from Alabama. In all likelihood, though, it's probably between Fields and Lance, because both are superior athletes with stronger arms and present a higher ceiling than Jones does.
Fields indubitably comes from the superior college program. He's been on the big stage for the Buckeyes on numerous occasions and delivered some epic performances, including a playoff triumph over Clemson in which he tossed six touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Lance has only one year of starting experience under his belt to Fields' two, but what a spectacular 2019 campaign it was. Lance ran for 1,100 yards and 14 touchdowns that year and threw 28 TDs to zero interceptions. He only turns 21 in May.
Do the 49ers really want to hitch their wagons to a rookie quarterback in 2021? Because of the awkward situation this creates for Garoppolo, it certainly seems that way. There ought to be some growing pains as either Fields or Lance adjust to Shanahan's complex system, yet it's also a QB-friendly offense with heavy play-action.
Because Lance is the younger prospect and already has more experience in a pro-style offense, don't be shocked if he gets the nod over Fields. Whether it's Lance or Fields, though, Shanahan hasn't had as much raw QB talent to work with since he was the offensive coordinator in Washington for Robert Griffin III.
Both Lance and Fields are arguably better prospects than Griffin was coming out in 2012, and RGIII was drafted second overall.

Jimmy Garoppolo joins New England Patriots after trade or release
So yes, there's a slim possibility Garoppolo sticks around to serve as a bridge starter in the Bay Area, but more likely, he'll want to go somewhere he's appreciated and believed in. Obviously, this 49ers mega trade with the Dolphins shows the organization has zero faith in Garoppolo to be the long-term answer.
It's been speculated that Garoppolo is going to wind up back with the team that drafted him in the first place to be Tom Brady's heir apparent.
The New England Patriots re-signed Cam Newton this offseason, and while he could take a huge step forward in their offense in Year 2 with far better skill position talent flanking him, Garoppolo is the man head coach Bill Belichick always wanted once the TB12 era was over.
Per Over the Cap, releasing or trading Garoppolo would save the 49ers $23.6 million in salary cap room. There's little reason to keep him around at this point, and San Francisco will have little leverage in trading for him, as interested teams are bound to simply await his release instead of giving up compensation.

San Francisco 49ers trade 2nd- and 3rd-round picks for Odell Beckham Jr.
This one's a little more off the wall, but think about it: That 49ers-Dolphins trade package noticeably omitted any mention of San Francisco's second-round pick.
If the goal is to win now and build a loaded roster around a young QB while he's on a rookie contract, the cap space that's freed up by letting Garoppolo go can be utilized to bring Odell Beckham Jr. into the fold.
The 49ers have a couple promising young wideouts in Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, but no real depth to speak of behind them.
Beckham has not had the best of times in his two seasons with Cleveland. He played through injuries for all of 2019 and required offseason surgery, and then tore his ACL this past season.
But with the Browns' run-first offense not really requiring or making the most of Beckham's playmaking talents, why wouldn't San Francisco try to get him?
Yes, there's a little bit of overpaying going on here in terms of draft compensation: A 2021 second-round pick and 2022 third-rounder. What better way to ignite a passing attack than by acquiring a legitimate No. 1 receiver with everything to prove who's been unable to get on the same page with Baker Mayfield in Cleveland?
This may sound crazy on the surface. Bear in mind, however, that the 49ers were interested in trading for Beckham before he went to the Browns. The New York Giants reportedly wanted to include the Niners' second overall pick they used on star pass-rusher Nick Bosa, but San Francisco declined.
The asking price for Beckham will still be pretty high, yet it'd make sense for Cleveland to move on from him at this point and for the 49ers to get the guy they wanted in the first place years ago to be their go-to receiver.

Hidden away in West London is a hidden park that's so lovely it rivals Regents Park and Richmond Park.
Brompton Cemetery is certainly one of London's 'magnificent seven' Victorian backyard cemeteries and is so attractive that it's managed by the Royal Parks.

I clicked a link thinking it was useful, but instead took me to an Amazon product page. Since I accessed it over HTTP, a stateless protocol, I already had the resource cached locally, so decided to make the best of it and use the information available to me. For instance, I wanted to know when this book had been published, something I find exceedingly useful in my research. Also, I normally, um, find it.
Here's a screenshot of the page in question:
In case your eyes glaze over at the site of brilliant dumpster fires, the rough outline to get to the year of publication is:
- Book cover and pricing info taking up the entire space above the fold
- "Frequently bought together"
- Customer who viewed this…
- Related products
- Editorial Reviews (???)
- Product details!
If not for the volunteer, unpaid user-generated content filling out the rest of the page, the "Product details" section would at the bottom (except for the… repeating bars of related/customer-bought products…).
Think about what that says about you. You are either a moron, or in an abusive relationship, when using that site.
