Superior Sound that Lives up to the Standards of the PianoCraft Series
The foundation of the MCR-332's excellent audio performance is a Yamaha-developed digital amp that provides smooth, unforced sound output. The receiver's separate digital and analog low-noise circuitry ensures thoroughly high sound quality, which is delivered by new-design speakers.
Digital USB Connection for iPad® and Other USB Devices
A USB terminal on the top of the unit makes it quick and easy to plug in an iPad or other USB device. The digital connection permits fast, loss-free signal transmission.
Dock digital connection for iPod® or iPhone®
The iPhone/iPod dedicated dock provides a digital connection, which means that the digital signal from the iPhone/iPod is transmitted directly to the receiver. This minimizes noise interference and allows use of the MCR-332 DAC, rather than the /iPhone/iPod DAC, resulting in more precise sound reproduction.
Front Panel and Knobs Have Aluminum Hairline Finish
The aluminum hairline finish of the front panel and knobs also contributes to the over high class appearance of the system.
Luxurious Piano-Like Finish and Removable Speaker Grilles
Drawing on decades of experience creating fine pianos, Yamaha gives its speakers a beautiful piano-like finish that looks elegant in any setting. The speaker grilles are also designed for good looks, but can be removed for a more basic appearance.
New-Design, High Sound Quality 2-way Bass Reflex Speakers
The 2-way bass reflex speakers use new-design 4-3/8" woofer units, have deep cabinets and are supported by three legs that prevent external vibrations from affecting the sound. The result is powerfully resonant bass and rich mid-range and treble, so you enjoy high sound quality with good imaging.
VCCS Technology Ensures that the Speakers Accurately Reproduce the Sound from the Main Unit
Speaker cabinets vibrate, degrading sound quality. To overcome this, Yamaha drew upon its musical instrument manufacturing expertise to develop an internal structure called VCCS (Vibration Control Cabinet Structure), which uses strategically placed pieces of a composite material that provides excellent vibration isolation performance.
Large-size, Screw Type Speaker Terminals
Both receiver and speakers use these large terminals to ensure high quality, reliable connection.
Subwoofer Output and AUX-in Terminals
The subwoofer out terminals lets you connect a subwoofer to enjoy enhanced bass power and response. The AUX-in terminal allows connection of other audio components.
New Style Remote Control
The remote control has a simplified design that makes it extremely easy to use.
Notable Features
• FM/AM tuner with preset tuning
• CD-text compatibility
Made for iPod / iPhone / iPad
"Made for iPod, iPhone and iPad" means that an electronic accessory has been designed to connect specifically to iPod, iPhone, iPad and has been certified by the developer to meet Apple® performance standards.
iPod Digital Connection
iPod digital connection means that the digital signal from the iPod is transmitted directly to the system, minimising noise interference and allowing use of the DAC not in the iPod, but in the system. This results in more precise sound reproduction.
This unit is equipped with a USB port that allows you to enjoy audio files from a USB memory device (USB flash drive).

Nice system that is small and pretty solidly built. Decent sound though my older Yamaha microsystems seemed to have slightly more power. Decent sound particularly given it's small size. Like the USB and also IPOD docking station as I can use it with IPOD and IPAD

The quarterly membership meeting was held on Thursday July 13th. , 2000 @ 5:30pm. at GLERC.
John Betsill called the meeting to order explaining that Ed Delehant was still in England flying C-130J's. In the best interest of the guest speaker the business portion of the meeting was put off until after the program. John introduced "Armi" Armitage, the test pilot of the "Credible Sport" rocket-powered Hercules. He said that Armi had retired from Lockheed in 1982 after 30+ years of service.
Armi came up front and began by recognizing some familiar faces. He began by saying that the narrative that accompanied the video being sent by e-mail showing the crash of the hostage rescue C-130 was all wrong and he would let us judge after we had heard his story. (He showed a video midway through his talk, which showed much more than the clip on the e-mail. His video showed the rocket assisted takeoff, the crash, and tests with the vertical rockets plus the news announcements circa 1997 breaking the story).
The plan was to modify three C-130s to land and takeoff on a soccer field. The program was so highly classified that the commanding officer of Eglin AFB had told him that it had such high priority that if Eglin needed to be shut down, that could be done. Armi mentioned that the narrative mentioned that the program director had been interviewed and had given the account. Armi said that Chet Payne was the director and he had talked with him recently and Chet had not talked to anyone from the media about the test.
The ship had eight retrorockets that delivered a total of 80,000 pounds of thrust to stop the C-130 once it was on the ground, l80,000 pounds of thrust to take off with and two pairs of rockets on either side to arrest the vertical descent. There was no trouble in hitting the ground, the hard part was firing the rockets at just the right altitude so their three second burn was timed correctly.
Armi gave a history lesson and some background. Iran had been our ally until the Shah was ousted from power by the Revolutionary Guard. Student militants stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 taking the Marine guards and embassy staff as hostages. After releasing some of the hostages, 53 remained. In the spring of 1980 a rescue attempt utilizing helicopters and C-130s was aborted when a helicopter collided with a C-130 tanker and eight servicemen were killed. With the presidential elections looming in November another plan was formulated. Lockheed was asked if a C-130 could be modified to take off and land on a soccer field. Lockheed evaluated the offer.
It was determined that 180,000 of thrust, equal to the thrust of 19-1/2 of the C-130's standard turboprop engines, would be required to get a C-130 off in the length of a soccer field and over the surrounding obstructions. The rocket engines would burn out at different times and there were rocket engines on the pylons in case of asymmetric thrust; yaw only firing. The plane would be 300 feet in the air after traveling 300 feet forward and with a takeoff roll of just 100 feet. Landing was the big problem. We had delivered 66 C-130's to Iran and Armi said he was familiar with the soccer field in question. A dorsal and horsal fin was added and all control surfaces were enlarged 35%. Double slotted flaps were added. It required 85% power to maintain five knots above stall speed. Go arounds would be a problem. The ailerons and other control surfaces were made fully hydraulically powered for quicker response.
The plane first flew in August. Not all Lockheed C-130 pilots held a top-secret clearance. Armi said he had a current T.S. clearance because he had just come off another T.S. program that remains classified to this day. The Air Force general in charge asked him if he would fly it. Armi agreed. There was none of the formal flight test regimen to be followed because of the time span involved getting the hostages out of Tehran before the November presidential elections. The general told Armi to rely on his experience and good judgment. If there were an accident, this would never be talked about; if it were successful, it would never be talked about.
The project was divided up with the rocket control systems going to IBM. There were two pairs of rockets under the wing roots on each side. They had a three second duration of burn. They were fired manually 58 times. If they were fired too late, you would bounce. Armi recognized Chuck Dixon in the audience as having worked on this project.
The hostages were daily marched around the soccer field near the American Embassy and we were given advance notice of when the hostages would be at the field on a given day by one of the many Iranians who were still friendly to the U.S. The planes were equipped with flares, a radar altimeter and even a laser altimeter that looked ahead at the landing aim point to give a precise slant altitude above the touchdown point. A computer was to control the firing of the rockets. If the retrorockets fired before they were on the ground, they were dead. A test was scheduled for three days before the planned mission date in October. If the test were successful, the mission would be a GO.
There were all kinds of glitches. The rockets might fire at 500 feet. All rocket firings up to now had been done manually. Early that morning Armi begged the general and Lockheed personnel to postpone the test. The general said it was bigger than they were. Armi asked whether his refusing to fly the plane would put the test off, citing the general's earlier statement that he should use his best judgment. The general would order the Air Force pilots who had been flying with Armi to conduct the test (they were standing around them listening to the discussion). The general said that if the Air Force pilots refused to fly, they would be court marshaled.
Armi agreed to fly the test, but only if safety switches were installed to preclude the computer accidentally firing the rockets prematurely. It was agreed. There were three safety switches, one for the navigator for the vertically firing descent arresting rockets, one on the co-pilot's column and one on the pilot's column for the retrorockets. All the switches were on safe and it was the intent of the crew (six in all) to fire the rockets manually.
There were lots of dignitaries at the special Eglin AFB field prepared especially for the program. It was too early and too political. To be on the safe side they made the assisted takeoff first. Everything went well on takeoff and they came around for the landing.
Armi said it was one of those perfect approaches where you were right where you wanted to be, 85 to 86 knots. All the fire fighting equipment was ready and standing by. The navigator had control of the lifting rockets because his laser altimeter was the most accurate gage of height above the ground. At 50 feet he hit the switch, to fire the rockets at 49 feet above the ground. Armi heard a loud bang but they didn't fire. Now remember the pilots had control of the stopping rockets and both switches were on safe.
Armi lost part of his visibility, the upper retrorockets had fired. At 49 feet the lifting rockets had not fired. They had full flaps. Three fourths of the time they had fired the retrorockets on the ground roll, the engines had quit due to the exhaust gas temperature spike caused by the heat of the rocket's plumes.
He realized they were going to crash and his instructors had always said that if you're going to crash, try and hit flat. At 19 feet the rest of the retrorockets fired. They hit hard. Four of the crew went out the back of the plane, Armi and the flight engineer were ready to jump the crew entry door but there was a sea of flames on the ground. One of the fire crew saw them and shot foam so they could get out.
Even though they hit hard, there was only one bruise on one crew member and one bit tongue because that person tended to stick it out between his teeth during stressful tasks. The general had stated that if there was an accident , there would be no accident investigation team. One month later an accident investigation team showed up.. The team knew nothing of the program. The full bird colonel leading the investigation asked if there were any comments before they started. The general who had been in charge of the program and other high ranking officers and Lockheed officials were present.
Armi spoke up and asked if the recorders could be turned off and the secretaries asked to leave. The colonel looked at the other officers and agreed. Armi gave a five-minute spill about how rushed and tenuous the program was and how he had been assured that if there were an accident, there would be no investigation. Armi said he would like to be part of the engineering investigation.
Armi backed up and said that after the firefighters had finished he asked the general and Lockheed officials present to accompany him and to go on board the crashed plane and observe the position of the safety switches. Both the pilots and co-pilots switches were still in the safe position.
Armi, during his five-minute talk, stated that every pertinent Air Force regulation was violated. The general agreed. This was not normal, a politically drive program that from start to finish had been accomplished in two months. Armi, indicating that if he was fired as a result of the crash, said "I'm a civilian. I will sue." He would not be held responsible. The general agreed. He again stated that he would like to be part of the engineering investigation.
The colonel asked what we do now? The accident investigation was canceled. Later they had an engineering investigation.
Armi did want to add that the general was a fine man. He would go three and four days without sleep. It takes a personality like that to be on charge of such a program as this was. The C-130 has the capability. He was ashamed there was not enough time to get the bugs worked out. They had an Iranian general who was going to have all the radars out of commission. We had a lot of help. In the end, they said, "Don't come." The Iranian leaders wanted to end the hostage situation but wanted to save face. The hostages were released shortly after President Reagan was sworn in.
Armi said the good Lord stepped in. No one got killed.
Q: Audience: Why did the navigator control the vertical rockets?
A: Armi: He had the laser altimeter.
Q: Audience: Did they find out what caused to retrorockets to fire prematurely?
A: Armi: No. But it had been raining that morning and water can ground circuits, which in this case could have made them fire.
Q: Audience: How many planes were modified and what happened to them.
A: Armi: Besides the one that crashed, one is at Hulbert Field at Eglin AFB, and the other is at the Warner Robbins Air Museum.
Armi said that until Peter Jennings came on the evening news with the story, he wasn't aware that it had been declassified. He called a friend in Special Forces. He advised him not to mention names or get too specific. He believed there was potential to use aC-130 in a similar role in the future.
Q: Audience: Would the plane back up once it landed on the soccer field?
A: Armi: No, the plane would spin around and be ready to takeoff.
He added that the problem of the engines EGT spiking and causing the engines to quit was only when they operating at higher power while the retrorockets were firing. By going to ground power quickly, the engines would overheat momentarily but not shut off.
Q: Audience: What was the name given to the program?
A: Armi: Credible Sport.
Armi heard later that the general had suffered a mental breakdown and
Q: Audience: Where were the planes modified?
A: Armi: Here in Marietta in the B-4 Building.
John Betsill thanked Armi and gave him a C-130J Flight Crew cap for coming to the meeting. A round of applause was also given by the members in attendance.

Philosophy 138
Got the black cat moan
the under-ladder blues
if it were me alone
don't know what I'd do
So I walk the endless girth
both latitude and long
of our broken earth
for Mother Nature's song
Poking puzzle pieces
sorting through the trash
hoping ire ceases
trying not to be an ash
Ain't found much
no eight-fold road
it depends on whom we touch
how we share the load
So brighten the corner
where you are
believe like Mister Rogers
kindness ripples far

Synthesis of Voluntary National Reviews for the High-Level Political Forum
Countries reported on the achievement of the SDGs from their national perspectives, including a consideration of their national priorities and approaches, and outlined how they have included the SDGs into national development plans and strategies. They provided information on the context in which they are implementing the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs and particularly the overarching challenges they face. These included high levels of poverty and inequality; fragile economies; dependence on natural resources and agriculture and facing the effects of a prolonged fall in commodity prices; epidemics and their aftermath; high unemployment, and in particular youth unemployment; conflict and post-conflict situations vulnerability to disasters and the consequences of recent disasters; vulnerability to climate change; and financial and institutional shortcomings.
High-Level Political Forum Report: Civil Society Engagement in Monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals
The High Level Political Forum (HLPF) provides the pre-eminent space for dialogue with the UN system on sustainable development. 2016 is the first year of implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and in this context 22 countries have volunteered to undertake national reviews to be presented at the HLPF. As this is the first review of its kind, it is to be hoped that this process can set a benchmark for future reviews, so that the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda are delivered in a truly just and sustainable way. There are major questions remaining on implementation, monitoring and accountability of this agenda; this paper aims to provide some initial reflections on the engagement with civil society in the countries under review and to set out some recommendations on how this engagement can be further strengthened.
Over March-June 2016, the Action for Sustainable Development platform collected summaries from national civil society organizations (CSOs) within the 22 countries that have volunteered to be reviewed by the High Level Political Forum. Through the comparison of these summaries, general observations can be made to link the inclusion of civil society in the SDG process, and provide an analysis of the degree of depth and breadth found in national SDG proposals.

User Guide for the High-Level Political Forum
Ahead of the meeting for the High-Level Political Forum (11-20 July 2016), the Action for Sustainable Development partners have prepared a user guide to engage in the process both in person and remotely.
The HLPF has been called the preeminent forum within the United Nations to work on sustainable development issues for the next fifteen years or so. It is also referred to as the home of the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030Agenda. This Forum is the 'apex body' at the UN to ensure monitoring, follow-up and review of the SDG commitments. It provides a forum to review progress across nation states and to connect policies within the UN system.
The HLPF accords NGOs the most far reaching participatory privileges and rights in the history of the UN.
But how can civil society most effectively engage with this process? How does the UN enable voices to be
heard from the people who are most directly affected by these policies?
This user guide will answer these and other questions about the engagement in this critical institution and its governance of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals: Where to start?
BOND UK has outlined some primary risks and recommendations for prioritising and implementing the 17 interrelated goals and 169 targets. Read full paper or summary blog.

The colors in this bead is so beautiful. I made a necklace and earring set and mixed it with emerald green, aqua marine, and silver. Turned out very elegant looking. I must also say Artbeads is the only company that I deal with that offers free
shipping, and returns. That is really a big savings on shipping costs. THANK YOU ARTBEADS

In Oklahoma, my mother grew lily of the valley plants on the north side of our house where it was a little cooler. In the Pacific Northwest we don't have that problem — you can grow lilies of the valley just about anywhere, and mine are just blooming.
These patterns were published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 1913. I think the large motif could also be used as three individual designs. Click images to enlarge
The prompt for the first border on our Gwen Marston inspired quilt is "childhood." I had to think long and hard to come up with something that both reminded me of my childhood, and would go with my already completed center basket and the scraps I'd selected.
I grew up in the 1950s in a small town in Oklahoma. We lived in an old neighborhood of modest homes, where there were no fences and children were free to play wherever they wanted (with a few exceptions, like flower beds and vegetable gardens). There were lots of kids, and quite few retired couples, some of whom were almost like grandparents to me and my siblings. Sometimes I complained because we weren't allowed to play in the house unless the weather was bad, but I consider it a pretty idyllic childhood.
Although there were newer homes being built in developments on the outskirts of town, I didn't envy the children who lived there. We had something in our neighborhood that they didn't . . . trees . . . huge trees. Every house in our block had at least 2 or three very old trees — we had four (one with a treehouse). In spring and summer the trees on the parking strip would form a beautiful, shady canopy over our street. There were oaks and maples and a catalpa on the corner, but mostly there were giant elms. In 1966 we moved away, and I didn't go back for a long time. When I did, most of the elm trees were gone — killed by Dutch Elm disease — and the neighborhood was almost unrecognizable.
So, for my childhood inspired border, I chose elm leaves (with an nod to Anne Orr's Autumn Leaves quilt). The fabrics are early 1900s chambrays, checks, plaids and stripes. Now back to work!
I'm sorry about the quality of these images, but the original illustrations in my 1936 McCall's Designs for Needlework catalogue are only 1″. They are scanned at a fairly high resolution, so hopefully you will be able to print and trace the designs to fit blocks up to 12 inches. The first block has a nice matching border. Click images to enlarge.
Even though it is not even mentioned in this catalog description from 1936, I think these feathers would also look wonderful on a quilt. I haven't attempted trapunto quilting, but it's on my bucket list. Click images to enlarge.
No. 306 – Transfer Design for Quilting. Price 30 cents. With scatter motifs in this graceful feather design, you can trim coats, dresses, bed jackets, negligees and boudoir pillow and bags most attractively. The work is Italian quilting. First stamp the design on cheesecloth and baste it on the wrong side of the material to be quilted, then sew along the lines of the design through both lining and material, and for the stuffed effect pull yarn through the paths thus formed. 8 cross feathers, from 3 1/4″ to 8″ to 6″ x 6 1/4″, 12 single motifs, about 2″ x 5″, 24 fronds and 3 1/2 yards of 4″ banding.
Recently, I've been doing some traditional appliqué — a project with Lori at Humble Quilts that we are not quite ready to reveal. I always think of myself as more of a piecer, but working on these blocks has made me realize I've missed doing this type of appliqué. Anyway, since I kind of have appliqué on my mind at the moment, I thought I'd share two different Coxcombs and Currants patterns from a 1982 Lady's Circle Patchwork Quilts magazine — one a little more complex than the other. I'm going to need more practice on my small circles before I tackle a pattern with all those currants.
Both patterns will work with either a 17″ or 18″ block. Clicking on the images below will link to the corresponding pdf pattern, which can be downloaded and printed on letter-sized paper.
No. 349 — Transfer for Vegetable Tea Towels for Applique and Embroidery. Blue. Price 25¢
These tea towels are guaranteed to chase away the "blues," with the everyday vegetables in appliqué performing new roles. Reproduce the vegetables in their exact colors, making sure that the materials you use are fast colors. With outline and running stitches the designs are completed. The patch pieces are applied with invisible stitches. Very pleasant work — entirely simple to do. Pattern includes 6 designs, the largest 5 1/2 x 8 7/8; smallest 5 1/2 x 6 3/8. Full Directions.
The denim quilt is moving forward slowly, because I'm working on 4 projects at once. They're all very different, though, which is nice when I want a break from sewing through denim.
It took way longer than I thought to match up each appliquéd block with a back. If I were only using one color of thread for the edging, I wouldn't have had to coordinate the block and the back. But since I'm using many colors, I wanted the thread to look good on the back as well as the front. I try to have 5 or 6 blocks sewn together on my machine during the day, so I can blanket stitch them in the evening.
For the edging I'm using perle cotton which I wind on craft sticks (tongue depressor size) and store in fishing tackle boxes. It feels good to have all the fabric selected and cut . . . now I just have to get busy getting these blocks ready for the last phase — crocheting them all together.
For me, this pattern includes all the things that are enjoyable about hand piecing — curved seams, set-in seams, and an interesting design that works for a scrappy quilt, which is just about the only kind I make.
This pattern was part of a large "quilting ephemera" lot I purchased at a tiny thrift store. I believe these pages were cut from one of the earlier Lady's Circle Patchwork Quilts magazines, since the patterns at the back of those early issues were on darker paper. Because there's no photo of the quilt (she seemed to only cut out the patterns), I put four of the blocks together so you can see the secondary design.
Clicking on the first two images below will link to a pdf version of the pattern, which you can view, download, and print on letter-sized paper. The pattern makes an 18″ block, but you could print it at a lower percentage if you prefer a smaller block.
Update: I've added a stitch guide at the bottom of this post. There are many ways this block could be put together, but this is how I would do it.
I came across this small article in a 1947 issue of McCall's Needlework magazine, which sent me looking for more information about Grace Snyder and better photos of her quilt. These types of grid designs have always fascinated me, and I'm a huge fan of Anne Orr's pieced quilt patterns. Grace, though, takes the grid idea to a whole new level by adding the "tiny piece" element.
Grace's Flower Basket quilt, as well as another tiny pieced quilt made with hexagons, were included in the "100 Best 20th-Century Quilts" by Quilters Newsletter Magazine in 1999. There is much more information about Grace and her quilts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and the UNL International Quilt Study Center and Museum. You can zoom in on the color photo below the article to see the quilt close up — this image was also on a UNL page, but because the image links in the article are broken, I have included it here.
On a completely different subject, I have had to disable my email sign-up and notifications. The plug-in is having a conflict with my server, and I am working on a fix. Thank you for your patience.
Sorry I didn't post anything this week for McCall's Monday — I was celebrating my birthday!! It's not over yet, either (more celebrating tomorrow), but I have at least managed to post something for Free Pattern Friday.
Click on the cover image to view, download or print the pdf version of this booklet.
Lori, Wendy, Cynthia, Cathy and Katy are hosting this quilt-a-long inspired by Gwen Marston's work, and I am excited to join in. I especially love the liberated element of this project, because I'm sure the quilts will all be very different. It's not too late to join in — just visit Lori's site (Humble Quilts) for details.
I chose to adapt one of my 1920s Betsy Dean embroidery transfer patterns as my basket design (the same patterns I post every day in my sidebar), and the fabrics I'm using are chambrays, checks and plaids from my collection of antique scraps. The fabrics are very early 1900s, so they're earlier than my pattern, but what the heck — it's a liberated quilt!
My basket is a 12″ block, and it's not needle-turned because I never learned how to do it. I'm an old quilter, and use the techniques I was taught when I was young. My method is to pre-baste all my pieces by rolling the edge in with my left thumb as I stitch — no freezer paper for me, although I did use cardstock circles to make the flower centers. There's more prep work, but I like being able to pin my pieces down and see exactly how the finished block is going to look, and the final stitching goes really fast.

German Immigrants Found Hope in Wisconsin
"The government of Wisconsin played an active role in attracting German immigrants to the state. In 1852, Wisconsin established a Commission of Immigration with a resident commissioner in New York whose duty it was to distribute pamphlets extolling Wisconsin's attributes. Disbanded in 1855, it was re-established in 1867 during the second great wave of German immigration. But the greatest motivation for German settlers was the firsthand accounts of friends and family members who attested to the quality of their new lives in the state, where land was relatively easy to come by and the German community had firmly established itself."

Southeast Asia has always been on the exotic side of civilization. For centuries, various nomadic tribes migrated [displaced by need] from as far as Siberia and Turkey in search for refuge from the conquering nomadic horse-people of the steppes: the Mongolian Khanate in particular. As a direct result, small nomadic clans drifted into the mountainous region where Burma, Thailand and Laos find a common point. Today the area is cryptically referred to as "The Golden Triangle" where the Mekhong and the Mae Kok rivers intersect to create the borderline for the 3 countries. Spread out through the mountainous range along borderlines, many hilltribes live an unsettled life, always at risk of having to move further on due to prejudice and persecution.
Like many similar minority ethnic groups, the Karens are referred by derogatory names like Kariang or Yang in Thai. However, the Karens refer to themselves as "Paa-Kaw-Yaw". The majority of Karens reside in Burma where ethnic-persecution is a looming factor of village life in the forsaken jungles of SE Asia. We support and stand beside ethnic tribal groups who need us to speak up for their cause in resisting tyranny and terminating the threat of genocide. Burma is years behind because of this constant battle for civil rights between the central government with Big Gun and the numerous tribes who have unified and risen to defend their dignity with scythes and slingshots. The result is death and destruction, while remaining villagers have to abandon their homes ablaze in the flames of injustice, further fueling bitterness resentment—the karmic cycle of a tendentious government formed by a perverted military junta [and dictators who govern using politically correct titles].
One good example of how far the junta would go: The Wa people who have been disavowed—Wa State completely absolved by the ruling military

On this side of the border, in Thailand, the Karen population is continually growing while life has much improved in recent decades. Even so, the "Kariang" people are still treated as lower class citizens by Thai commoners. But like a good-hearted Buddhists that they are—Thai society is much more accepting of minorities than their neighbors. So much so that Thai government has successfully assimilated the tribal group into their tourism-based economy.
The Karen [กะเหรี่ยง] Pwa Ka Nyaw [pronounced Paw-kaw-yaw] are concentrated mainly in Mae Hong Son province, and western areas of Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Mae Sot, Chiang Rai and Phayao. The main subgroups are the Sgaw Karen [the most numerous], Pwo Karen, and the world-famous Kayan "long-neck" who'd slipped away from the perilous pursuit by Burmese military to neighboring Thailand in the 1980s. As fate would have it—the Kayan "long-neck" Karens in Thailand is flourishing due to the culture's natural appetite to uplift tourism in the Kingdom.
[Learn more about the Karen Pwa Ka Nyaw Hill Tribe people on Wikipedia]
[Learn more about the Kayan long-neck Karens on Wikipedia]
Karen Pwa Ka Nyaw of Nasai are an industrious group of people who are eager to work from dawn-'til-dusk in everything that they do [making silver beads and jewelry, dyeing fabric, tend to fruit plantations and rice paddies, plowing and harvesting—to name a few]. The women tend the young at home in social groups as they produce silver beads, cook and clean, dye and weave fabric, and make clothes for the family. At peak harvest or planting time—the women would also accompany their men out in the midday sun with babies tied to their backs as they pluck and plant the food to feed their clan throughout the year. The men tend to their farms and plantations during much of the year and lend a hand to their women whenever they're asked to [obedience derived from matrilineal culture].
Because of this, most Karen hill tribe villages are self-sufficient. As a result, Nasai Karens have the inclination to reciprocate the gracefulness of Their Majesties and non-profits organizations who have had a hand in their livelihood. They are a grateful group of humans who knows that all they have to do is look across the mountain in the west to see how tormenting life can be.
Traditional dresses for women are very attractive and distinctive. Patterns are linked to villages and households where fabric weaving [and dyeing] is both a trade and a way of life. Unmarried girls wear loose white V-necked shifts, decorated with Job's-tear seeds at the seams. Married women wear blouses and skirts in bold colors, predominantly red or blue.
Men wear blue baggy trousers with typically red-striped shirts. Black Karen men wear black shirts with a red cummerbund or head scarf. Adult males—whether in gladness or in gloom—usually leave their home to commandeer the in-law's estate towards prosperity—well, at least the portion [the dowry] inherited by the espoused daughter, anyhow. Correspondingly, the daughter now has a man to breed and to engender her heritage with [mind you: this relationship is more symbiotic than it feels on paper]. Karen daughters carry on their mother's name.
Traditional houses are raised on teakwood stilts, a ladder leads up [2-3 meters] to a porch with a store room and kitchen to one side, a living area and bedroom on the other. Beneath the house is a working area, often with a foot-operated rice pounder beside a handful of dilapidated wood stumps utilized by silversmiths as workstations and to shape the silver sheets.
No two married woman live in the same house. Sexual immorality is forbidden in Karen culture. In some villages, the punishment in banishment or torture, then left for dead. The village headman has great power over his community which is most evident in the remote depths of Thailand's deciduous forest. The headman [the shaman, the chief] is regarded as the spiritual as well as the administrative leader.
Traditionally, the Karen hill tribe people have supported their families by engaging in slash and burn agriculture, which required them to move their villages every few years in search of new fields when old ones lost their fertility. The hilltribes were persuaded to discontinue their nomadic lifestyle when the Thai Government illegalized harvesting of trees and clearing of hillside land. Subsequently, the Royal Project of Thailand was established to assist the hilltribes with adapting to the "anchored-lifestyle" they would have never considered otherwise.
In its infancy days, research and development was priorities for the Royal Project's first decade [established 1969]. From the beginning, many agencies—local and international, cooperated with the Royal Project to establish a solid foundation. These agencies include universities, the Ministries of Agriculture and Cooperatives of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Interior, State Owned Enterprises, the private sector, international organizations and foreign governments. Today, the work of the Royal Project has evolved into four major endeavors: research, agricultural extension, development, and socioeconomic activities.
We believe in philanthropy and yearn to make a humanitarian difference.
[Karen hill tribe Trust] Improving Health by installing clean water systems and latrines
[Stu and The Kids] Giving teenagers a better future with sponsorship for a college education [estimated $3500/year per student, including living costs]. If kids can envisage something better for themselves, it inspires us to give them a chance.
Up until the 1980s, opium cultivation was a major source of income for many of the hilltribes. International pressure, and leadership foresight compelled the Thai government to move quickly and diligently to eradicate opium by supplementing the tribes' livelihood with livestock and other cash crops: cabbages, corn, rice, mangoes, longan, and other marketable fruits and vegetables. Though perhaps the most awe-inspiring of government undertaking to "settle and assimilate" the nomadic hilltribes, the Royal Project of Thailand commissioned silver jewelry experts to impart their knowledge of "silver bead-making" to selected tribal groups. Today [2016], only a handful of those silver-villages retained their skills and their tools—Nasai Silver Village is one. At its peak, more than 70% of household in Nasai were producing silver jewelry components of some type [from 2004 through 2007].
The first generation of Karen silversmiths were taught to carefully handcraft each design from scratch, using high-content silver [99.9% silver granules]. They learned to give each design a unique appearance only seen in their own ecosystem, thus the distinct "Karen hill tribe" patterns and shapes of their silver designs.
Now the fourth generation are in line to inherit the unsophisticated tools and trade. This means that we the people who market their creation do so in light of how and why the "hill tribe silver project" began.
Today, each handmade silver bead [and components and jewelry] is a unique masterpiece that represents the history of Karen culture, past and present. The typical silver design made by the hill tribe is imprinted by using a stamping tool and hammer. Often, these designs are as simple as the shape of leafs and flowers, or an animal. Many motifs are symbolic designs resembling their physical environment and spiritual world. Some designs are barrowed from other cultures due to demand [Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity]. Rest assured—silver designs handcrafted #byHillTribe is one of distinction and charity. Your purchase preserves the timeless culture and identity of the enduring Karen hill tribe people.

When in my teens, no longer a child needing my parent's attendance yet still harboring a deep down desire for family experiences, I sought out Green Up Day as a continuation of tradition mixed with my growing independence.
As I joined friends that Saturday morning I felt like we were doing something good that seemed leveraged well beyond the ten or twelve bags of trash we collected. The activity was not as work anymore than climbing the hill to slide back down was in the winter. What I saw and felt that Saturday encourages me to view every day that I walk outdoors as Green Up Day.
I seldom see so many families and friends gathered enjoying each other's company in a statewide yet community based tradition as on Green Up Day. Join your group on Green Up Day, Saturday May 7, 2016. Collaborate with those whom make Vermont a special place and Green Up Day a day to remember.

Ultranationalism: Absolute Evil Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin
Joseph Stalin's Rise to Power
Russia is in absolute poverty during World War 1 and goes through a Revolution where they murder the entire royal family and the people take control led by Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin Lenin quickly takes power, ends world war 1 with the Germans and tries his best to rebuild his country. Lenin dies and Stalin murders all other possible leaders and takes control over the country.
Stalin institutes Totalitarian rule and Command Economy
Stalin institutes Totalitarian rule and Command Economy. This is known as Communism Stalin's economic policies involved total state control. Command Economy – a system in which the government makes all economic decisions. Under this system, political leaders identify the country's economic needs and determine how to fulfill them. Country would take drastic steps to promote rapid industrial growth and to strengthen national defense.
Rapid Growth and Collective Farms
It created collective farms – large government owned farms that each had hundreds of workers producing food for the state. Stalin used terror and violence to force peasants to work on the collective farms (between 5 to 10 million peasants were killed). The police destroyed churches and synagogues; also killed leaders of all faiths or sent them to labor camps. The government controlled all education – nursery to university. Students learned the virtues of communism and evils of capitalism Rapid Industrial Growth, Rapid Rail Road production and limited consumer goods.
CONTROL METHODS Police Terror
–monitored telephone lines, read mail, planted spies, and arrested/executed millions of traitors The Great Purge (a campaign of terror) It was directed at eliminating anyone who threatened Stalin's power. Estimate – killed 8 to 60 million people Censorship -Stalin would not tolerate individual creativity; wanted conformity and obedience of citizens. -Government controlled all media (newspapers, movies, etc.)
Adolf Hitler's Rise to Power
In 1928 Hitler's Nazi Party were a small, insignificant party. They were viewed as little more than thugs. However By 1933 Hitler was the chancellor of Germany and The Nazi's had risen from obscurity to total power.
Factors that led to Germany's Downfall
Effective use of Propaganda Force used against opponents Wide ranging populist policies Visible strength at a time of weakness The Wall Street Crash Economic instability Failure of the Government to cope with problems Weakness of the constitution End of US Aid
Rise of Hitler Factors Hitler's manipulation of situation
Public desire for order and strength Politicians naivety in dealing with Hitler Fear of communism Lead to Rise of National Socialism Instability of government
How were the Nazi's able to achieve this so quickly?
The economic situation was very bad Hitler was a great public speaker The SA and SS disrupted he work of political opponents The Nazi's were well funded by business men The other political parties wouldn't work together Goebbel's propaganda was effective The Nazi's targeted certain groups of the electorate People didn't want a return to the hyperinflation of
How did Hitler consolidate power?
The Reichstag Fire Creates a climate that Hitler can manipulate for his on ends The Enabling Act Hitler uses Article 48 to create a State of Emergency. The act effectively ends democracy in Germany. The Night of the Long Knives Opposition from within the party is removed: violently. The SA is 'purged'. Hitler used his position, and the frailties and subsequent death of Hindendburg, to engineer a Nazi take over of government. He makes use of Article 48 to legitimise the end of democracy before radically altering the structure of government. Soon opposition is banned and Germany has a one party state. Pressure groups, such as Trade unions, are also banned. This Nazi 'Revolution' is secured as a result of the removal of all possible threats to nazi rule: the SA, the army and political parties are all 'dealt with' by the end of 1934.

ONE OF Britain's largest compact disc manufacturers has admitted that many of the CD singles it produced over 12months from late 1988 will now be unplayable.
Dave Hawksworth, manufacturing manager at PDO Discs in Blackburn, which produces a quarter of all British-made CDs, said the company had been forced to repress some CD singles from master copies after customers had complained that their CDs had decayed. The surface of affected discs appears slightly tarnished, orange in colour instead of silver.
Mr Hawksworth said the problem was caused by poor-quality cardboard with a high sulphur content, used to make some sleeves. The inner metal layer of the CDs reacted with the sulphur in the card to produce silver sulphide deposits which made the discs slip.
David Wilson, marketing and services manager of PDO, said yesterday that on rare occasions an individual disc had manufacturing problems, such as picking up too little lacquer in its coating, which might accelerate decay. Once his company had identified the cardboard problem, it had set minimum requirements.
Mr Hawksworth said that if people owned singles that were going to decay, they would have done so by now. The problem came to light after one music fan found that almost half of the 1988 PDO singles he owned had decayed. He wrote to the company, which replaced his affected titles. After reports in the late 1980s that CDs could deteriorate, particularly if exposed to extremes of heat, the industry stopped marketing them as 'lasting a lifetime'. Mr Hawksworth was confident that CDs would last at least 10 years. Mr Barber remains sceptical: 'They keep saying these problems are affecting individual discs, but I've got so many now. Some of my discs are breaking up . . .'

To age well, start now, no matter how old - or young - you are. That's the firm advice from a group of experts in medicine, nutrition and wellness.
Whether you're 20, 40 or 60-plus years old, healthier aging begins with choices people make every day about exercise, eating and taking care of health issues that crop up. You can make up for mistakes you have made in your youth, when people are sometimes too busy or feeling too immortal to think about such things, but as nutritionist Joy Bauer put it: "In your 20s and 30s, you can really lay the foundation for a long, healthy and fulfilling life."

Burgers are not typically found in traditional Asian dishes just as bok choy is not generally found in any Western dish. But the burger stir-fry has both these ingredients - it's a fusion of Eastern and Western cuisines via a simple concoction of ingredients and spices and topped with a fried egg. Perhaps it's the ingredients, or maybe it's the spices, or maybe it's the entire rather odd combination, but it tastes delicious!
I came up with this one day when I was trying to figure out what to cook for brunch. What started as a few rather bland ingredients (burgers, bok choy, eggs, and bell peppers) quickly became something beautiful to photograph and really yummy to eat! And let's not forget how nutritious it is too. All that's left to say is that it takes just 30 minutes to make, and you don't need to be skilled in cooking Asian or Western cuisines to make this!
