So today, I almost ran off with a baby!
It all started off a normal day, our first real weekend in Verdun, and all we wanted to do was escape our little town. So, after studying the cryptic and frustrating time table for the trains, we were off to Nancy for the day for the jazz festival! We attended on a special day of the festival, poor person's day. That's right, all of the concerts today were free! Yay for us!
As we hopped on the train in Verdun, we thought all would go smoothly on our journey, only needing to make one stop in Jarny. Fools! Fools we were. After sitting on the quai and realizing the next train would not arrive for two hours to take us to Nancy (minor miscalculation on the time schedule) we decided to make the best of it and explore Conflans-Jarny. Let me just remind you that today is Sunday. Dimanche. Oh, I could rant to you about dimanche. On dimanche, nothing is open. No café, no supermarket, no pharmacie, no monoprix (France's target), no nothing. The town was eerily quiet…
Well, we walk into a café that appears to be open, and what do we find? Ten old, creepy, dirty, smelly, old French men drinking beers at eleven am, and a BABY! This baby was no ordinary baby, she came running right up to me and demanded I pick her up! How could I not? Admist the urging of old men, I scooped that girl right up and gave her a hug. She was a gros bébé, according to the old men, 3 kilos and only 18 months old! We sat and played with her for almost two hours, as the creepy men watched us and called us zeee girls from zeee United States.
After a terrible parting with the baby – bartender father could not control her screams – we were off to Nancy. Quelle belle ville! A beautiful fall day awaited us, as we met up with some other English-speaking assistants and got a tour of this beautiful city. The main area, place Stanislas, is absolutely exquisite. That day, they had an earth appreciation exposition going on. The whole place was filled with beautiful flowers, vegetables, and green sculpture! It was breathtaking. The concert was in Park de la Pépinière, and we strolled through the rose garden while munching on baguettes and crepes. We loved the band called Saxitude. They played everything from aux champs elysée to Thriller by the MJ! I have never seen French people so loose! And they weren't even drinking! Everyone was jamming and having a good time. We didn't even stick out as crazy Americans, all though we could sing along to the words of all the songs.
Babies, music, baguette, friends, is the definition of a bonne dimanche. What is your favorite thing to do on a Sunday? Leave a comment!

When you or your child become excited about playing the clarinet, the instinct is to buy the best one, which also costs the most. It might seem like a good idea at the time, but if you tire of it, or do not really enjoy playing it then you have spent a lot money just to have it sit in the closet. Buy a sturdy first clarinet that's cost effective and has pretty good tone or you can rent one, when you are tired of it you return it.
1Make sure that you are interested in a student clarinet. This is an investment, so you'll want to spend your money wisely. The good news is that quality instruments appreciate in value: you can usually resell the instrument for at least the amount of the original purchase.
2Buy a reputable brand. Remember that as a beginner a plastic clarinet (and resin and resonite) as it is more durable than wood and is much cheaper. Remember when it comes to clarinets, plastic is good, not bad. Do not think that plastic in clarinets is the cheap plastic, it is meant for the clarinet, and are practically indistinguishable to most listeners. For new or used clarinets, try Buffet-Crampon, Yamaha, Selmer Paris, or Leblanc for top notch clarinets. Selmer USA, Vito, and Jupiter make decent quality clarinets also. The best Student clarinets include the Buffet B12, Leblanc LB320, Yamaha YCL-255. As for intermediate clarinets the Buffet E11, Yamaha YCL450N, Leblanc LB210N, and Selmer USA CL211. Do not get tricked into buying any of these brands as they are extremely cheap and will hold you back as a student: Mendini, Cecilio, Merano, Conductor, Legacy, and Lazarro and brands on eBay that are from China with no name; some of those instruments are ok but ask an expert. You can also check out Orsi and Ripamonti, and Lark, which are lesser-known foreign brands that are mainly active in the lower price range. As for older brands, a great one to look into is Bundy - many music stores have fairly cheap secondhand Bundy clarinets. These companies make reputably sound clarinets for a decent price.
- Look around at the different music stores that sell instruments in your area. Different stores have different prices and specials, so shop around.
- Search the internet. There are no major tuning or tonal problems with the mainstream student clarinets, and you can pick up a used Bundy 577 or Vito Reso-Tone, as well as the Buffet B10 and B12, and Yamaha YcL-255 (or YCL-250 as its discontinued) for a good price on the internet. As long as there is a good exchange policy for those rare cases that there are missing pads or such, internet should be no problem with student models. You might start by searching the instrument brands' websites, but sites like eBay and Craigslist may also be an option.
3Save your money and do not spend more than around $1000 for this level. If you quit, then you won't have wasted too much money.
4If you live near a reputable music store, play some instruments before buying. Most large music stores, that sell mostly instruments will welcome having you test them.Advertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionWhat's your opinion about Jean Paul clarinets for a 10-year-old beginner?Community AnswerBuffet and Yamaha are the best, but Jean Paul are pretty good for starters. If possible, I'd definitely go with Yamaha. As an experienced professional clarinetist, I love Yamaha. But if you can only get the Jean Paul, at least it will be something to start with. Ask your band director or instructor. They may have more advice on what they want you to buy.
QuestionShould I start with a Bb clarinet?Community AnswerA B flat clarinet is usually a good place to start as they are common and relatively inexpensive.
QuestionIs the Artley model S17S a good buy?Community AnswerYes, it is a well-conditioned clarinet. For your first clarinet, get a plastic one. Once you're good at the instrument and ready for better quality, buy a wooden one. For reeds, I recommend Vandoren.
QuestionIs Jupiter an okay brand for starters?Community AnswerYes, it is decent, but Yamaha is a much better brand for all types of musicians, beginners through pros.
QuestionHow much do clarinets regularly cost?Community AnswerMy nice Yamaha clarinet cost $750. It's on the higher end of the student models. I've seen some good ones for about a hundred or so. It just depends on the brand, the quality, and the store you buy from. Try a Bertrand's, or an OC music store. For a student model, they can range from probably $100-$1000. The professional ones can be multiple thousands of dollars.

- If you buy from a music store, ask about their repair rates, if they have a rent-to-own program, if there are services they'll provide for free, etc. This is very important to know, and might help you choose which music store to give your business to.
- Ask your friends and relatives if they have a clarinet laying around, and yard sales are a good place to look too.
- Ebay can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Be sure to buy correctly on eBay and other auction sites.
- If you have a friend or band director that could come with you to play test some instruments and help you choose the one with the best tone quality, this would be very helpful.
- Especially if you are buying for a child, a good investment is a neck strap. They usually cost around $15.00 and attach to the clarinet's thumb rest, and are used to take the weight of the clarinet off the thumb and transfer it to the neck.
- Don't ever throw away your student model even if you advance and buy a higher quality clarinet. You will need this one for those rough times (outside or practice) and possibly marching band. You don't want a wooden clarinet outside so you definitely want a plastic student model for those circumstances.
- Be aware of what comes with your clarinet. Most beginner set-ups will come with a mouthpiece/ligature, a cleaning swab, cork grease, case, and (if you're lucky) a low strength reed. Make sure you get everything you need to play out of the case. It is often the sign of a good value instrumentThanks!
- Try to avoid auctions. Most clarinets sold there are usually extremely old and not playable. It is possible to find a quality used clarinet but most will need work (and money) to make them playable, they are not a good choice for a beginner.Thanks!
- Do not buy cheap exports as they break apart extremely easily. The register key can break off, or the pads rot in a few months. Be very careful!
- Don't be fooled into thinking that just any clarinet will do. Stick with the reputable brands previously mentioned. A cheap instrument will end up costing you more in repairs and frustration than you ever wanted to spend.
- Periodically check to make sure the instrument is in good working condition. Your best deal is to take it to a professional repair-person. Sad but true, virtually all instruments returned to the store by students who had become frustrated and no longer wished to play had some sort of major malfunction that will prevent the instrument from playing correctly. Because the student was unaware of the problem, he/she would assume that it was a lack of ability rather than a lack of a decent instrument.
- Don't buy clarinets (or any instruments) from places like Walmart, Sam's Club, Costco. These clarinets, often known by brands such as "First Act" or "Simba", are extremely poor. Their keywork are low quality and will bend or break very easily. Many repair people refuse to work on such instruments, because they tend to use non-standard parts which are not easily repaired or replaced. Avoid these like the plague.

Fly Fishing Books: "77 Great Fish of North America"
Artist Flick Ford and writer Dean Travis Clarke combined talents to produce the recently released FISH: 77 Great Fish of North America (The Greenwich Workshop Press, October 2006, 208 pages), a portfolio of watercolor paintings and text that tells the story of many of the important fish of North America, both fresh- and saltwater. Barbara Livingston Nackman writes about Flick Ford and the book for the Westchester, New York Journal News: "Fishing is a 'blood sport,' [Ford] said, explaining that it is part of the hunter-gatherer cycle of life and connects us to our food. 'In order to live, something must die,' he said. 'I keep it honest and believe you have to not exploit nature, be thankful for its offerings and not take more than you need.'"

Shopping for a portable solar generator + storage system? Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the jargon? You know all these technical specs are being thrown at you for a reason, but how do you compare apples to apples? Where do you even begin?
You've come to the right place. SunRunr is nationally recognized for our commitment to educate the public and promote preparedness. We want to put the power in your hands to choose the portable solar system that's best for you and your family.
"What can I run on this thing?"
We're all familiar with the basic idea of batteries – they store power that we can then use when we're mobile. Whether it's a flashlight, a smartphone, or a circular saw, batteries allow us to stay unplugged from a wall outlet (off-the-grid). "What can this solar generator really do for me?" That's what we all want to know, right? "How long can this battery run my lights and my circular saw and my freezer and my coffee maker and my…?"
The road to that answer gets twisty quickly. Near the end of this article we'll list some resources that can help you zero in on the answer for your specific power requirements. What we want to do here at the Science 101 level is to familiarize you with the common terms and designations you'll run across so you can begin to consider your energy needs and your battery storage options.
Watts: your speed of consumption
Let's say you have a flashlight that's labeled "10W" (10 Watts). And to keep things simple, we'll say your desktop computer is listed at 100 Watts. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is produced or consumed. If you think of watts as speed, the wattage is how fast you're driving at a moment in time. Your computer is consuming energy faster than your flashlight – currently clocking in at 100 miles per hour whereas your flashlight in this moment in time is tootling along at 10 miles per hour.
Watt-hours: the amount you drive
In our analogy, Watt-hours (Wh) is the distance or amount you drive over a period of time. If you drive at a constant 100 miles per hour for 3 hours, you will have traveled 300 miles. So if your 100 Watt desktop is on for 3 hours, then your computer will have used 300 Watt-hours of energy. A more energy-efficient computer might only require 50 Watts and therefore if you left it on for the same amount of time, it would only use 150 Watt-hours of energy.
To give you some perspective, a typical house in the U.S. uses an average of 30,000 Watts per day. To see how your usage stacks up, take a look at your latest utility bill. Your energy usage will likely be listed in kilowatt-hours (kWh). As a reminder, "kilo" means "1000", so 1 kilowatt hour is 1,000 Watt-hours. Are you using more or less than the average 30 kWh per day?
Amp Hour: "How many cars can I drive at once?"
When shopping batteries, comparing their Amp Hour specifications can give you an indication of what a battery's storage capacity is and serve as a baseline for relative comparisons. Amp Hour attempts to answer the question, "How many tools can be running at the same time and continuously for 20 hours?"
In the case of the SunRunr:
Amp Hour capacity @ 20 hr rate = 245 Ah
As we mentioned above, Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is produced or consumed. Your battery is "producing" as your computer is "consuming." To determine the Watt-hours of a particular battery, multiple the Amp Hour times the Voltage. In the case of the SunRunr, the system uses a 12 Volt DC battery.
SunRunr's Watt-hours:
245 Amp Hour x 12 Volts DC = 2940 Watt-hours
It's also important to learn from the manufacturer what the "usable storage" is for a particular battery. The battery in the SunRunr offers 2000 Watt-hours of usable stored power before recharge is required.
Because Amp Hour specifications are most often a 20 Hour rating, we have to keep that in mind when thinking about Watt-hours. With some simple math we can determine that SunRunr owners get 100 Watt-hours for 20 hours (2000 Watt-hours divided by 20 hours). Keep in mind that some solar generators, like the SunRunr, can be storing additional energy even while you're consuming energy, allowing you to have sustainable daily power.
In a power outage, what electronics would you want to use? This energy calculator can give you a sense of how many Watts some common appliances consume. How many hours per day do you think you'd use each of them? With these Watt-hours in mind, you can play around with different scenarios to see how far 100 Watt-hours can take you. On our website, we've got some practical examples of what that power can do for you in an emergency, on the farm, or at a job site.
Apples to Apples
So, when it comes time to shop solar generators, look for these two battery specifications:
Amp Hour and Usable Watt-hours. With these numbers in hand, you now have the power to see how batteries stack up.

Battery B
Battery C
Amp Hour @ 20 Hours
245 Ah
Usable Watt-hours

I have a new piece of flash fiction appearing in the March issue of the Tahoma Literary Review. I also wrote a blog post for these fine folks about the importance of letting go of the first page. Read an excerpt below, and read the entire article here.
The blank page of a new story can be terrifying. Even if an idea is fresh and vivid in my mind, I still find myself looking at that first empty page warily as someone stepping out onto a frozen pond, wondering if I can build a structure that will hold me up, marveling that I ever have in the past. Eventually, I begin — with tricks and prompts, or just by edging out into that space, testing the waters with either keyboard or pen. The first page of a story is delicate. It's the page that gets you into the conflict, that helps you discover a character, that allows a writer to discover what she's writing about. And for all those reasons, it's often what must go.
I see it again and again in my students' work, and I see it in my own; somehow it takes a page to sink into the rhythm of writing, and to get used to speaking with that particular voice. So often my students write of their characters getting up and brushing their teeth; they write about the weather; they write about getting coffee. It's only on the second page or so that someone knocks on the door, and the story really begins.
I'm guilty of this too. In the first pages of my drafts, characters go wandering through the woods or feel the need to explain who their parents and siblings and uncles and aunts are. They have to tell me about their jobs and what clothes they're wearing. That's all good and fine, but
when it's time to look back at a story and revise, I'm stunned by how often cutting the entire first page dramatically improves a piece. Just try it! The drama of your story will emerge, sharp and vital, right out there at the front of the charge.
This might be one of the most important edits you make in terms of publishing your story as well. As an editor of a small lit mag myself, I know how a strong first page can catch my attention — and how a weak first page can make even lovely writing that follows a hard slog. I'll read past a weak beginning, but now the story is living on borrowed time; I'm looking for reasons to reject. With a vivid first page, I'm far more eager to read on.
Letting Go of the First Page

Green Krim Cherry
- Grown, sold, and described by Bunny Hop Seeds
- Plant growth: indeterminate
- Leaf type: regular leaf
- Time to maturity: midseason
- Approx. number of seeds per pack: 20
- Germination tested after Hot Water Seed Treatment for Fungal and Bacterial Diseases
"Green Krim Cherry" is a delicious large green-when-ripe cherry variety. It is an offtype of Black Krim Cherry that appeared in Tatiana Kouchnareva's garden in 2016. This is a developing variety; however, the genes for green when ripe flesh and clear epidermis are recessive and homozygous, so it is less likely that a different color will be produced at this point.
Green Krim Cherry is juicy with lots of seeds and a sweet tart smooth flavor. When ripening in the heat, at fully ripe there is a pink blush at the blossom end, very beautiful.

The Francophonie Week in Tanzania, from March 18th to 25th [fr]
The Francophonie Week was held in Dar es Salam from March 18th to 25th. It was the opportunity, for member states to the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie institutionally represented in Tanzania, to gather and collaborate on the joined organization of cultural events.
Belgium, Canada, Egypt, France, Morocco, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, Switzerland, Union of the Comoros came to a partnership to promote and celebrate French language as a language of culture and communication.
The Kingdom of Morocco, which have been taken part to the group of the French-speaking ambassadors and consuls in 2017, offered an opening diner to more than a hundred guests. The Minster of Foreign Affairs from the Tanzanian government, Augustine Mahiga, graced the ceremony with his presence and an opening speech where he mentioned three main political priorities:
The submission of an application to the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie for Tanzania to become an observer state
The ratification by the Tanzanian Parliament of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (which has been voted unanimously by the Parliament on April 3rd)
The implementation of concrete measures to empower Human Rights protection in Tanzania
The French Embassy, thanks to the technical support of the Alliance française, has held a number of highlights, such as a film presentation of the play Cyrano de Bergerac on March 22nd, in partnership with the Institut français, Pathé Live and la Comédie française. An enthusiastic audience composed of institutional members and Tanzanian students appreciated this edition staged by Denis Podalydès.
Futhermore, the French Embassy supported a regional cooperation project initiated by the Association Franco-Zanzibarite: a tour of Davy Sicard, singer from Reunion Island, comprising concerts at Alliance française of Arusha, Living Stone in Zanzibar and Alliance française of Dar es Salam
Finally, the annual Francophonie Contest addressed to young French speaking pupils took place at the Alliances françaises of Arusha and Dar es Salam. It emphasized the need to enhance French language teaching to Tanzanian educational institutions and schools.

The Ready Set, an indie pop band from Indiana, headlined an intimate show at The Space in Hamden, Connecticut last Thursday night, a venue the band had not played for seven years.
On their current Waking Up Tour, Emblem3 have been the opening band for most dates. This concert featured a different lineup revving up the crowd for The Ready Set: Four Door Theatre from Nashville, Five Stories Falling from Connecticut, and Crash The Party from New York City. When The Ready Set Frontman Jordan Witzigreuter finally hit the stage with his infamous fox mask, the crowd went crazy, jumping and singing along to the upbeat tune "Higher."
Throughout the night, each of his songs perfectly transitioned into the next as Witzigreuter sang a mixture of both new and old jams. He sang classic radio hits like "Young Forever" and "Love Like Woe." Also, off of his previous album, The Bad and The Better, he performed "Carry Me Home," "Castaway," and "Are We Happy Now."
The room erupted with applause after each song, feeding off of Witzigreuter's positive energy. He definitely has a star quality, and it was easy to sense his ability to connect with the crowd as he danced around the stage. TRS's newest album, I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love, was just released on April 8. The audience already seemed to know the songs by heart as they jammed along with him to the single "I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love."
To end the night, Witzigreuter explained that he doesn't like encores, and proceeded to sing two more songs instead of walking off the stage and coming back on. With a final burst of energy, he enthusiastically performed "Being Afraid" and "Give Me Your Hand (Best Song Ever)."
After the concert, I spoke with Witzigreuter and he told me that it was great to come back to Hamden and play such a small venue. He shared that he's played shows to 200 people that were more energetic than shows he's played to 10,000 people, so it all comes down to the energy and the crowd. Playing these smaller headlining dates, he can really see fans singing along and reacting to his new songs in a "face to face way."
"It seems like people like the album and have reacted well to the honesty behind it; I feel like it's a little more honest and real than I've been able to be in the past," Witzigreuter said. "So I think that affects people in a way, and I've wanted to do that for a while."
While on tour, Witzigreuter is already working on his next "new thing" and trying to stay busy all the time. He said that he is working on probably two or three more tours for the rest of the year, and until then, he's just "enjoying the ride." On most dates of the current tour, The Ready Set are performing with reggae pop band Emblem3. Witzigreuter hopes the shows will help raise awareness of his music, since the two bands don't necessarily share the same fan base.
I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love is available on Amazon.

> Li Keqiang's charm offensive
Li Keqiang's charm offensive
Tuesday, 28 May 2013 12:35
The Chinese rhetoric on territorial questions during Foreign Minister Wang Yi's tour of four Southeast Asian nations and Premier Li Keqiang's visit to India were markedly different.
All throughout his six-day tour of Southeast Asia, Wang Yi brought to bear "ample historical and jurisprudential evidences" on Chinese claims in the South China Sea. During his meeting with Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natelgawa, the Chinese foreign minister even went to the extent of saying that "China is a major force when it comes to maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea." In all the nations that Wang Yi visited, he emphasized that China has "clear steadfast and consistent resolve in safeguarding state sovereignty and territorial integrity."
Premier Li's visit came barely a fortnight after the Depsang Bulge confrontation between Indian and Chinese troops in eastern Ladakh. India had gone to the extent of threatening to call off Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid's May 9 trip to Beijing if the Chinese troops did not pull back. The Chinese not only pulled back (though some say the Indians did that as well) to pave the way for Khurshid's visit, but stressed that the Depsang Incident was an "isolated" event.
Premier Li was candid enough to recognize the two neighbors had problems, but he kept stressing throughout his visit that both China and India have mechanisms in place to handle tensions on the disputed border. Responding to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's emphasis on the border dispute as a key issue, Premier Li emphasized on expediting the process to find a durable solution.
Far from raising the 'southern Tibet' claims or pushing India to deny sanctuary to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan exile government, Premier Li went on to offer a "handshake across the Himalayas" and stressed that "China and India are friends" and that there was no need to contain each other.
There lies the catch. Beijing is worried over US President Barack Obama's 'Asia Pivot' and Japanese Premier Shinzo Abe's 'Arc of Freedom' which is seen by the Chinese as post-Cold War containment strategies aimed to deny them the strategic momentum for primacy in the global order.
Both the US and the Japanese have been wooing India to join a quadrilateral security pact involving Australia, Japan, India and the US.
India seeks to develop defense relations with each of these countries but on a bilateral basis. That it has rebuffed feelers to join the quadrilateral security pact is something China has not missed out on. Hence Li's statement: we are friends and don't need to contain each other.
As China's relations with its Southeast Asian neighbors and Japan gets increasingly tense on the territorial issues, the US steps in with its 'Asia pivot', much to Beijing's chagrin. It is only to be expected that China's new leadership will seek to break this pact by looking north and south toward Russia and India.
President Xi Jinping's first overseas visit to Moscow and Premier Li Keqiang's first overseas visit to India is indicative of Chinese priorities.
India may not as yet be a major power, but as Parag Khanna observes in his classic 'Second World', it is a major swing-state which can change the regional balance in Asia.
The Chinese also realize India's potential— a billion-plus population; its civilization as ancient as China's; a large growing economy; developed service sector and more. Hence Premier Li's repeated push for 'strategic consensus' with India.
Apart from strategic reasons, China is also seeking out the Indian market as trade with the US and the EU begins to stagnate. The bilateral trade has grown 30 times over 10 years but it dropped from the peak US$74 billion in 2011 to $66 billion in 2012.
Manmohan Singh is uncomfortable with the colonial legacy of exporting raw materials such as iron ore, India's top export to China. Trade alone cannot create the mutual interdependence that two-way investments can. Hence Li's stress on pushing up Chinese investments in India, his assurances to allow Indian products greater market access, and inviting India's industries like pharmaceuticals and IT—which enjoy a global competitive edge—to invest in China.
Therein lies his assurance that China is not seeking a trade surplus. Building greater synergy between the two economies is a Chinese priority not just for the promise of an economic breakthrough, but also because it could help woo India away from a future 'contain China' effort.
Li's proposals for facilitating a Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar growth corridor and for greater cooperation between India, Pakistan and China make both economic and strategic sense, as Beijing seeks to allay Indian fears of a 'string of pearls' by offering cooperation rather than competition in India's immediate neighborhood.
Chinese-developed ports in Sonadia (Bangladesh) or Kyaukphyu (Myanmar) can also be used by India to access its own remote northeast—hence Li's subtle hint that China's 'Lookout policy' will also help India's 'Look East' objectives.
Behind all the charm that Li exuded during his stay in India lies a calculated effort to cultivate India—hence Li's parting reminder with a Chinese proverb: "Next door neighbors are more useful than distant relatives."

US lifestyle and footwear brand Skechers has filed cases against ecommerce marketplace Flipkart and four sellers on its platform for allegedly selling its counterfeit products, an issue that has grown exponentially after the rise of online marketplaces in India.
Skechers, with the help of court-appointed local commissioners, raided seven warehouses in Delhi and Ahmedabad to recover fake merchandise from sellers Retail Net, Tech Connect, Unichem Logistics and Marco Wagon, the company said in its petition submitted to the Delhi High Court. It has so far found more than 15,000 pairs of fake shoes that were to be sold as Skechers. It has yet to raid more warehouses of these vendors to tally the final count, the American retailer said in its petition.
A company spokesperson told ET, "Flipkart is an online marketplace that helps sellers connect with customers across the country. We only act as an intermediary. We conduct our business with the highest standards of integrity and are fully compliant with all rules of the land. We cannot comment on the current issue as it is sub judice."
The country's largest ecommerce player through its 'Flipkart Assured' model keeps check on the genuineness of products sold on its platform by more than a lakh sellers and has blacklisted several sellers dealing in counterfeit merchandise. But it seems the problem persists.
Ruchi Sally, Director at retail consulting firm Elargir Solutions said, "All ecommerce companies, including Flipkart, need to have a tighter entry and control mechanism for their sellers that will help curb or minimise such issues similar to how it is dealt in developed countries."
Skechers, the second largest athletic footwear brand in the US, targets to become a Rs 1,500-crore brand in India by 2020, helped by rapid store expansion, new category launches and self manufacturing in the country.

PRINCE2 Books
Buy Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 – 2017 Edition.
PRINCE2 Method
The PRINCE2 method is made up of four integrated elements of principles, themes, processes, and the project environment.
PRINCE2 Principles
The PRINCE2 guiding requirements and good practices are requisite if a project is being managed using PRINCE2. There are seven guiding principles;, unless all of them are present, the project isn't being managed using PRINCE2.
The PRINCE2 principles are:
- Continued business justification: there must also be a justifiable reason to be running and managing the project. If not, the project should be closed.
- Learn from experience: PRINCE2 project teams should continually seek and draw on lessons learned from previous work.
- Defined roles and responsibilities: the PRINCE2 project team should have a clear organisational structure and involve the right people in the right tasks.
- Manage by stages: PRINCE2 projects should be planned, monitored and controlled on a stage-by-stage basis.
- Manage by exception: people working within the project should be given the right amount of authority to effectively work within the environment.
- Focus on products: PRINCE2 projects focus on the product definition, delivery and quality requirements.
- Tailor to suit the project environment: PRINCE2 must be tailored to suit the project's environment, size, complexity, importance, capability and risk.
PRINCE2 Themes
The PRINCE2 themes describe aspects of project management that must be addressed in parallel throughout the project. The seven PRINCE2 themes explain the specific treatment required by PRINCE2 for various project management disciplines and why they are necessary.
PRINCE2 helps to apply the themes by stating the minimum requirement needed for each theme, and gives specific guidance on how to tailor them to certain environments.
The seven PRINCE2 themes are
The PRINCE2 themes are as follows:
- Business case: create and maintain a record of the business justification for the project.
- Organisation: define the individual roles and responsibilities of the whole project team.
- Quality: what the quality requirements and measures are and how the project will deliver them.
- Plans: the steps required to develop the plans and the PRINCE2 techniques that should be used.
- Risk: effectively identify risks and opportunities that could impact upon the project.
- Change: how the project manager will assess and act on changes to the project.
- Progress: the ongoing viability and performance of the plans and how and whether the project should proceed.
PRINCE2 Processes
The PRINCE2 processes describe the steps of the project lifecycle, from starting a project to project closure (and measurement of benefit). Each process provides checklists of recommended activities, related responsibilities and guidance on how to tailor to a specific environment.
The seven PRINCE2 processes are:
- Starting up a project.
- Directing a project.
- Initiating a project.
- Controlling a stage.
- Managing product delivery.
- Managing stage boundaries.
- Closing a project.
PRINCE2 training
AXELOS, the owners of PRINCE2, run the qualification scheme through one Exam Institute, PeopleCert. There are currently two main levels (Foundation and Practitioner) of PRINCE2 certification with four qualifications available. They are:
PRINCE2 Foundation Buy PRINCE2 Foundation Online Course
PRINCE2 Practitioner Buy PRINCE2 Practitioner Online Course

Italy - Dispute at Ikea over sacked mother - November 30, 2017
Home store retailer Ikea is confronted with a dispute after one of its employees complained that she was sacked for refusing early morning shifts because she had to care for her disabled son. Despite giving her unwritten assurances that she would be given a more flexible schedule, management was not willing to help out. The trade unions have reacted furiously and said that this is a clear message to employees: they want everyone to know that they're the ones who decide and, regardless of whatever problems anyone might have, either you agree or you're out. The retailer workers' union Filcams CGIL called two hour-long strikes at the Corsico Ikea store and plans a protest there on 5 December.

I'm in entertainment heaven right now. As per my last post, I mentioned that I was watching A. Season 4 of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" and B. Season 2 of "Bones"...and guess what...on the fourth disc, STEPHEN FRY guest stars as a British SHRINK! I'm having a great night. And on top of it all, HOUSE starts up next Tuesday. I am such a simple man.
And then of course...Alex Winter (of Bill and Ted) is in this episode as a "Girls Gone Wild -like-director-Super CREEP!"

You are such a fan-boy.
How is season 2 of Bones? I've just finished watching the first series on UK tv, I thought it was quite funny and I liked the characters. Kept wondering why Angel didn't do his gnarly face, though?
- allen etter said...
No Gnarly face yet...but the writing is even better and they keep delving into the characters. Unlike the CSI crap shows, this actually has people in it who (gasp) change and grow as human beings.
Now if Hugh Laurie shows up as one of Fry's patients...well, that could be cool too...
- Michael Grant Clark said...
I think Fry would be excellent in House, but only if he was called Watson.
Apparently House's character lives in Appartment 22 room 1b. Don't know if it's on Baker Street though.

Lok Adalats are para-judicial institutions and, as the name suggests it is people's court which is meant for the general masses like middle class people and poor people. This institution is the product of modern judicial reforms and characterized as constituting people's programme for speedy justice. In strict sense the Lok Adalats are not the Courts, since the technical court's procedures are not followed in it. E.g.,
- No court-fee is being paid;
- There is no limitation period;
- Decision in Lok Adalats are final and binding and the parties have no right to appeal.
What these adalats seek to do is to reach decision through reconciliation and mutual settlement of disputes.
Normally, the Lok Adalats are organized by the social workers and the disputes are decided by the Lok Adaiat judges, who come from amongst retired judges, public spirited lawyers etc.
(a) Models of Lok Adalats
In India there are four models of Lok Adalats:
- Lok Adalats organized by legal Aid Board of the States;
- Lok Adaiat in Anand Niketan Ashram in Rampur District of Gujarat.
- Lok Adflats in Himachal Pradesh Courts
- Lok Adalats founded by Sampat lyengar in Bangalore.

Hi there! Happy Friday to you! ❤ Yesterday morning, I received some news that granted me mixed emotions. Very shortly after sharing this post, where I talked about surgery being in my near future, my mom found out through a phone call to my insurance company that there was an update on my wisdom teeth surgery.
After talking to the oral surgeon a few weeks ago at the consultation we went to, I found out that my insurance is known for denying approval for the surgery that I need. Because of this, my mom and I were expecting to receive a call letting us know that the insurance would cover one tooth, or three of them – maybe even denying the request altogether. It was really a hit-or-miss situation, but I was expecting the insurance not to cooperate. Either way, I knew the Lord would provide regardless. ❤
So, when my mom came back inside after the phone call with my insurance company yesterday, I was surprised to see her beaming. My hopes were raised at the same moment my fears settled into the pit of my stomach. The next thing she told me was exactly what I wanted to hear, while at the same time was not at all what I was expecting.
My insurance approved the request and is paying for the surgery in full.
"I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry." – Psalm 40:1
When we bring our requests before the Lord, He is faithful to take our hopes and dreams into His hands. Even when I had little faith in what my insurance was willing to do, the Lord used their approval to bless us.
Next Tuesday, I will walk into the same oral surgery office with financial peace – and with the Lord by my side. I can't tell you how much this experience of learning to lean on His strength has already blessed me. I'm truly not afraid anymore, and I'm willing to do what He will have me go through – all for His glory.
When I wrote this post about overcoming medical fears, I had no idea the Lord would bring me this far. Nothing is impossible for the living God!!!
Prayer Request: The only thing I'm truly worried about is how the IV in pre-op will go, because I've never had one before. I would truly appreciate it if you could pray that would go well for me! ❤
Thank you so much for reading! It blesses me to share how the Lord is working in my life 🙂

Podcast to Air March
An exciting new Podcast "My Stories….Chapters and Challenges" inspired by the Pulitzer nominated book Call To Witness hits the waves March 14th, 2016
A New Podcast titled "My Stories…Chapters and Challenges" is set to hit the air waves March 14th. Inspired by the Pulitzer nominated book, Call To Witness, a true story of one woman's battle with disability, discrimination and a pharmaceutical powerhouse, will feature guests who overcame challenges and started new chapters in their lives.
"My Hope is that Call To Witness will be an inspiration for those who feel they have no voice and who feel powerless when facing what seems like insurmountable challenges. I want readers and listeners to have the courage to take a stand against discrimination in the work place and stand against domestic violence. Also, I wish the challenges they face will be seen as a new chapter and not as an obstacle. This Podcast will welcome all without judgement or criticism; every person will be embraced completely no matter where they are on their journey," says Host Jane Gagliardo, subject of Call To Witness.
The full press release is here.
"Call to Witness" Receives High Reviews and Rankings on Amazon
When Attorney Patrick J. Reilly consulted with author Sherry Blackman for her book Call to Witness, a true story based on one of Reilly's cases, he didn't expect the book to receive the high accolades it has from readers and sellers alike.
The text is currently ranked as #24 in the Best Sellers list for Disability Law and #37 for Discrimination Constitutional Law. The book has also received an average 5 out of 5 star rating by Amazon readers.
You can read the reviews on Amazon.com here→
Call to Witness details the true story of Jane Gagliardo's struggle with discrimination at the hands of her employer and her triumph over one of the biggest pharmaceutical giants with the help of Attorney Reilly and his team.
Limitations of Employer's Right to Terminate
A Message from Patrick Reilly
There is a mistaken belief among some employees that they can only be fired for cause, and if they are terminated for any other reason, they are entitled to a severance package, or they have grounds to sue. Pennsylvania, like many other states, is an employment at will state. That means, basically, that you can be terminated at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all. There are some limitations on an employer's right to terminate an employee provided by both federal and state law, which will be discussed in more detail in later postings.
Does this mean that an employee must put up with a supervisor, or co-employee, who is a bully, or verbally abusive? Is an employer liable for a hostile work environment? The answer to both questions, is: maybe. Unless the offensive conduct is motivated by one of the statutorily protected rights afforded employees, such conduct is permitted and not actionable. The remedy for such permitted offensive conduct is to quit. While that may not be a good or fair remedy, it may be all that is available.
If you believe that you are being subjected to offensive or discriminatory conduct, follow the policy established in your employer's handbook, or if there is no policy, speak with your supervisor, of if your supervisor is the offender, your supervisor's supervisor. If that is ineffective, speak with the appropriate Human Resources person. If the conduct is discriminatory in nature, the employer has an affirmative duty to act. If it is not, then there is no duty to act, although good business practice might dictate some intervention. Regardless, you should not hesitate to speak up. Also, should your employer, or the offender, retaliate against you for speaking up, that may give you an additional reason to take action.
Look for a discussion of the Americans with Disabilities Act next time.
Refusing to Give Away My Power
A message from Jane Gagliardo
It happened when I had to pick up my sneakers from a shop on Main Street in Stroudsburg. The owner and I started talking. She told me that she wasn't going to have a booking signing, although she had promised to do so. The pharmaceutical company that I took to court for the injustice done to me was once again impacting my life.

The Galilee Lies in Ruins
The last mishna in Sotah lists a series of conditions for the coming of Mashiach. All the conditions have now been met including the two that HaGalil Chareiv (The Galilee will be in ruins), and the Gavlan will be a wasteland (Either the border cities or the Golan Heights: It is looking more and more that this condition refers to the border cities and not to the Golan.). Will the anointed king of Israel make an appearance in the Galilee in the 66th year as was mentioned in The Secret of the Vav in HaShem's Name?
The anointed false King of C.I Scofield and the Talmudicized NIV Babble, for they changed the Glory of Jesus to their mere man....Moshiach ben Satan, Lucifer the son of the morning
25 "Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree [f] to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, [g] the ruler, comes, there will be seven 'sevens,' and sixty-two 'sevens.' It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. [h] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' [i] In the middle of the 'seven' [j] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. [k] " [l]
and is not MESSIAH
25: Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the
Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26: And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27: And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
We will soon see, and much depends upon all of us crying out to G-d and doing teshuvah. G-d in His infinite Chesed has delayed the Abomination Parade in Yerushalayim. This test has probably been delayed for several months, if not a full year. Will that be all that we need to begin the Redemption in 5766, since G-d will keep his promise with us if we repent of at least one sin. Please write me about all new commitments you are making to change your lives forever. It is so important to insure this Redemption and your part in it.

God wants us to be like Him. He tells us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us and pray for those who use us; so it stands to reason this is how He treats us. God has not called us to a higher standard than He upholds. No matter what your friends and loved ones have done, God is still responding in loving-kindness. After all, it is His goodness that leads to repentance. He hasn't given up on them; you don't give up on them!

Naseer Ahmed Gani is no ordinary student. At 19, this engineering student has already grabbed the attention of international space research centres with his new-age lunar buggy. Designed and manufactured by Gani and his friends at Lovely Professional University (LPU), Phagwara, the rover vehicle, which can be used to explore the moon surface, was recently displayed at the Delhi Auto Expo in February along with 15 other automobiles made by the students at the university. "Our focus this year has shifted from infrastructure to industry and academic exposure. There is so much that young students can achieve when given the right opportunities," says Aman Mittal, LPU director.
Whether it's a student team from Jindal Law School, Sonipat, winning the coveted Price Media Law Moot Court hosted at Oxford University, or students from the Mahatma Gandhi National Institute of Medical Sciences, Jaipur receiving a full scholarship from the Harvard Public School of Health to present a paper at the Global Maternal Health Conference in Tanzania this year, prestigious laurels and accomplishments are quickly getting lapped up today by colleges and institutes that are only four or five years old. "We must break free of the mindset that quality education is restricted to the few elite public universities. There are many new institutes that offer the same, if not better quality of education," says G. Raghurama, director of BITS, Pilani.
Noida's Galgotias University shares the same views. "One must note that 70 per cent of students are enrolled at private colleges. The bulk of our country is not being trained and educated at public institutes," says Suneel Galgotia, chancellor of the five-year-old university. It was awarded for its global linkages and academic excellence by Narendra Modi at the ICT Business Awards in February. "Our institute, staff and students have also been awarded by APJ Abdul Kalam, Manmohan Singh and Pranab Mukherjee at various functions. It just goes to show that age is not related to quality," adds Galgotia.
Many feel it is the increased exposure to foreign universities and corporate houses that is giving students at new colleges an edge over their much-older counterparts. At Noida's Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, students get trained by IT majors such as Infosys, Wipro, Accenture and NIIT. Similarly, the National Law University in Delhi has academic MoUs signed with University of Passau, UKCA Law Chambers Delhi, McGill University, Ministry of Law and Justice, India, and Nuclear Law Association of India. "Constant exposure to industry-led training and different academic perspectives not only gives students a confidence boost but also sharpens the skills they've learned in class," says Narayan Das Agarwal, director of GLA University in Mathura.
The India Today-Nielsen Best Colleges Survey's list of emerging colleges in arts, science, engineering, commerce, law and medicine ranks colleges that have been set up in the last 20 years and have quickly created a niche for themselves. Only three colleges across all the streams have held on to the same rank as last year: Balaji Law College, Pune, remains at number eight in law, Vardhman Mahavir Medical College, Delhi, is number one again in medicine and Sarojini Naidu College, Hyderabad stays at number five in science. While 13 new colleges have claimed a spot in the final top 10 or top five this year, the remaining colleges have all seen either a sharp rise or sharp drop in their ranking.
National Law University, Delhi has gone from number seven to number one in the law ranking, Keshav Mahavidyalaya, Delhi, is number one in arts from its number three spot last year and Maharaja Agrasen College, Delhi has gone up three places to emerge as number one in the science stream. A fastgrowing and constantly innovating space, the young bunch of colleges in our country have only just begun to achieve their full potential.

George Smith Partners Arranges $32M for Coachella Hotel Development
- By
- Jul 03, 2018
George Smith Partners has arranged $32.4 million in financing for the development of an IHG Hotel Indigo, a 35-acre casitas-style resort in Coachella, Calif. The project secured a $24.4 million senior construction loan and $8 million PACE funding, making it the first hotel project ever to be financed by PACE in California.
The 250-key resort will be the closest property to the Empire Polo Club, the site of several music festivals held annually in the area. The development will include a 13,000-square-foot convention center, an 11-acre 'playground' for music related events, a restaurant, gym and yoga studio, a 10,000-square-foot salt water pool with summer cooling system and DJ booth, and a spa. The guestrooms will offer private entrances and en-suite bathrooms in two-, four- or six-bedroom casitas with living rooms and social areas.
The PACE financing will act as an energy loan to finance the efficient HVAC, windows, seismic strengthening, lighting and water systems. The City of Coachella also provided a $25 million tax abatement and approved Mello Roos bond financing for the project's infrastructure.
George Smith Partners' Principal & Co-Founder Steve Bram, Senior Vice President David Pascale Jr. and Assistant Vice President Huber Bongolan Jr. arranged the financing on behalf of the developer, Glenroy Coachella.

AlphaLAW esprit plus to Insight Legal Data Migration
We have already carried out a number of complete data migrations from AlphaLAW esprit plus to the Insight Legal System.
AlphaLAW esprit plus was produced by AlphaLAW in the mid 2000s. It was intended to fill a perceived gap in the market for a product in between the entry-level AlphaLAW esprit system and the higher-end AlphaLAW Vantage system. Although not as feature-rich as the AlphaLAW Vantage system, it is based entirely on the same code base as AlphaLAW Vantage and shares the same Microsoft SQL Server database structure.
We have performed a number of highly successful data conversions from the AlphaLAW esprit plus system and would be happy to put you in touch with a number of our users who previously used AlphaLAW esprit plus.
Conversion Process
A conversion from AlphaLAW esprit plus will include all of the following data;
- Clients
- Matters
- Matter Types
- Introducer Codes
- Banks
- Fee Earners
- Accounting Periods
- VAT Rates
- Client/Matter Ledgers
- Time Recording
- Nominal Ledgers
- Nominal Ledger Transactions
- VAT Entries
- Bank Transactions
Live Conversion
As we have carried out a number of conversions from the AlphaLAW esprit plus system, we are confident that we can perform the live conversion without needing a trial run first. Of course, we are more than happy to do a trial run for your own peace-of-mind if you would like see exactly how all of your data will look in Insight Legal prior to the live conversion.
Simply send us a backup of your AlphaLAW esprit plus database and we can take care of the migration. Along with the data backup, please send a copy of your trial balance and the totals from your matter listing report so that we can check all of the converted balances match those prior to the migration. The live conversion usually takes one to two days to complete. This is often an ideal time to train your staff in the operation of the Insight Legal System so they are all ready to start working with it as soon as the conversion is complete.
When you're dealing with the experts, it doesn't have to be expensive and it doesn't need to be a hassle.

We should obviously dismiss the idea of something primal and exceedingly old living in Loch Ness as the pure hokum it is. But what of the thought of a monster skulking, away from prying eyes, on the cold lake-bed of Loch Maree? This ribbon of water in Wester Ross is, according to legend, the home of the "Much-sheilche", an eel-like creature whose name translates, loosely, from the Gaellic, as "turtle-pig". Now that is highly believable.

If money was no object
If money was no object, what would you do with your time?
Let's say you opened a bottle one day and a magical genie popped out, but instead of 3 wishes, he doubled your salary for the rest of your life and said you didn't have to do a single thing to earn it.
On the 1st day of every month, thanks to the genie's financial wizardry, double your monthly salary appeared in your account… for the rest of your life.
Think about this for a second –
Your bills are paid.
You've got food, water and shelter.
You've got money for your hobbies, passions and interests.
And to top it all off…
You've got unlimited time… since you no longer need to work for your money.
Of course, you CAN go to your job, but only if you want to.
And therein lies the beauty of this question.
It takes money out of the equation and shows you what you TRULY want to do.
So tell me, {{ subscriber.first_name }} –
What would YOU do with your time if this happened to you?
Would you continue to drag yourself to the office every day?
Would you continue to do work you hate, for people you dislike, to earn money you waste, buying things you don't need?
Or would you rekindle an old passion or hobby?
How would you find meaning in life… if money were no longer an issue?
One of my passions is producing electronic dance music.
In fact, in the last 2 years, I've even gotten pretty good at it.
And the best part?
It makes me feel so damn ALIVE.
When I sit down to make music, it's like being plugged into a power outlet.
Instead of taking energy away from me… instead of requiring exhausting hustling and bustling and grinding… it's EFFORTLESS.
I'd do it all day every day if I could, even if no one paid me.
It's the best feeling in the world.
Not the feeling of making music…
…the feeling of BEING ALIVE.
When was the last time you felt like that?
If it was more than 24 hours ago, something's wrong.
If you can't remember the last time you felt ALIVE, like a child, overflowing with unbridled joy, with nothing but happiness and excitement coursing through your veins, SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG.
Life is TOO short.
So take a moment.
Allow yourself to dream.
And if you need help, please book in a free Strategy Session, where I'll help you get clear on what's not working in your life right now, and what you need to do to fix it ASAP.
Book your free session here:
– John
P.S. Even if you don't yet know HOW to live your "dream come true life", don't let that stop you from dreaming.
First comes the dream, then comes the means to fulfil it.
Thinking about the HOW will limit your vision and keep you stuck in a life you don't want.
Instead, drop all thoughts of how and simply focus on the dream… and if you can't think of doing a specific thing, focus on how you want to feel.
Do you want to feel more ALIVE?
More JOYFUL?
More excited?
More LOVE?
More WHAT?
And when you're ready to get some serious clarity on how to get there, book in a free Strategy Session and let me help you create your "dream come true" life.

They Can't See The Trees For The Forest
There is an old saying that says, "They/you can't see the forest for the trees". It might be understood as meaning you can't see the broad concept of the forest, because you are too intent on seeing the individual trees. This idea can be turned around to explain why the Globalists/Utopians can't see what is in front of them. They get so wrapped up in their Utopian Dream, that they can't see the inherent contradictions of their thinking, nor can they imagine any genuine opposition to their Utopian Dreams.
I would posit that: "They can't see the trees for the forest".
What do I mean by that? Simply this: They see a forest, a broad concept, but don't see that the forest is actually composed of many thousands of individual trees, with each tree being unique. These individual trees have somehow developed in concert with each other. They compete for space, for sunlight, for water and nourishment. Some forests are predominately of one type of tree, with another dominated by a different species. Not all forests are the same, and no individual tree is identical to another, though they all have things in common. It is rare to find a single oak tree in a predominately spruce forest. There is usually a cluster of oak trees. Trees spread their seeds in a given local area, though sometimes helped to be spread by birds, or other creatures.
Another old saying: "Birds of a feather flock together." (Old sayings endure for a reason.) A given species of any bird, or animal, will tend to join with others of its sort. Cattle graze together. So do sheep. Coyotes group together in packs, etc. Humans do the same. We cluster together. When we cluster together, it is for various reasons; protection, companionship, community, division of labor, or a number of other equally compelling reasons. This joining together is based on a mutual understanding of one, or more, of these reasons. We have something in common. We have some sort of defined goals for this community, vague though they may be. Still, it is understood that there are some basic rules that govern us in order to live in concert with each other. These rules are our culture. They need not be strict rules, but they must be understood. and adhered to, by all.
What am I getting at? Simply this: It is the culture of a community that matters. There is no community if there is no culture. Culture, traditions, morality, ethics and law all evolve from a sense of a certain amount of similarity among the members of a community. The members recognize these similarities, even as they recognize their differences. They see the forest and the trees.
Utopians only see the forest. They see only a mass of people, not a community of individuals with shared interests and values. To the Utopian, all individuals are basically the same. They speak of diversity, but demand sameness.
The Economist recently posted a poll on Twitter to get Americans opinions on open borders — it backfired in hilarious fashion.
Overall, what effect do you think migration has on your country? #OpenFuture
— The Economist (@TheEconomist) June 5, 2018
They were quite shocked, I'm sure, as they no doubt expected quite different results, as the Economist is a Globalist mouthpiece. Yet, if they weren't fixated on seeing the forest and ignoring the trees, they would understand that the results of the poll were predictable. "Birds of a feather flock together." Bringing in masses of culturally different individuals is the antithesis of community. If those masses of individuals have no interest in acclimating to the existing culture, at least to a strong degree, conflict becomes inevitable.
America has traditionally been a Judeo-Christian country. Our society is built around the values and culture of those two religions. We accept other religions into our culture if they do not attempt to change our culture and traditions. We can coexist. However, when a religion, or peoples, demand that we disregard our values and culture in favor of theirs, it is not surprising that we object.
The Globalists have a desire to create a new, One World culture. It is beyond their ability to comprehend that others have no interest in their Utopian Dream. Their fanatic beliefs prevent them from believing that any sane, rational person could be opposed to them. The crazy behavior of the Globalist/Leftist legions show this to be the case. They believe themselves to be rational, therefore anyone opposing them must be irrational. It is not in their realm of capability to accept even the possibility of opposition. To them it is inconceivable. If you oppose them, you are obviously unhinged, a fascist. a racist, or whatever.
Thankfully, the world is changing. The Globalist mentality is dying. It is not dead, yet, but it is dying. Those true believers in Globalism still fight us, but their numbers are diminishing. Hopefully, the concept of Globalism will one day be only recognized in history books as one more failed Utopian Dream.
