Tottenham have agreed a lucrative five-year sponsorship deal with AIA from the start of next season.
The insurance services provider linked up with Spurs at the start of the 2013/14 season as their cup shirt partner, and will become principal global partner from the start of next term.
AIA's logo will appear on the front of Tottenham's shirts in all competitions until 2019 as part of a deal Press Association Sport understands to be worth far in excess of the £12million-a-year previously reported.
As well as providing an immediate financial boost, the north Londoners hope the agreement with the Hong Kong-based company can act as a platform to grow the club's name in the Asia-Pacific region.
"We have enjoyed an excellent relationship with AIA since they became our cup shirt partners at the beginning of this season," Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said.
"Together we share long-term ambitions across Asia - a region where the club has seen significant growth in recent years - and this extended partnership with AIA, one of the leading companies in the Asia-Pacific region and a clear market leader in their industry, will further help to support our objectives and engage with our supporters across the region.
"We are delighted that AIA has committed to the club for a further five years and look forward to developing our partnership further."

Developing the game is only half the challenge for having a successful game, it can be a great game, like some android games we found and played made by indie developers using AndEngine like we do, but they didnt worked the marketing angle, so they're games went into the oblivion. Just like Happy Sheep and Demonball, we're not saying our games are great games, they're our first atempts in the game developing business, both are nice, simple and fun games, like the reviews we had on Happy Sheep say so (just see our older posts) and we've seen a lot worse in Google Play Store with thousands if not millions of downloads, so whats the difference between a successful game and a game that goes on into the oblivion? In one word: Marketing.
Now that we know this, we're not going to pretend to be marketing experts, not by a long shot, we're hoping that our next game, in which we're working on right now, no spoilers for the moment ;) we'll make a better job in the marketing part, for that, we've been reading, and reading, and learning, and keep on reading, thats why I decided to write this post, to put here some great links from people that know more about the subject than me, that other indie game developers might be interested:

Free-range turkey may be the rage of the natural-food set, but the holiday bird lover who really wants to get close to how the pilgrims experienced America's signature meal should consider heritage turkey this year.
The label "heritage"—much like "heirloom" when used to describe vegetables—indicates that the turkey has bypassed the genetic engineering that turned the bird Benjamin Franklin once promoted for the honor of America's national symbol into a white heavyweight designed for quick mass production, but with bland taste. Dedicated farmers raise extant turkey varieties from colonial days, such as the Standard Bronze, Bourbon Red, Narragansett and White Holland, with the goal of reintroducing Americans to turkeys with the flavor enjoyed by previous generations.
The North Carolina-based American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, which champions heritage turkeys, takes the free-range concept several steps further. The organization mandates pasture land (not just an earth paddock) and a partially wild diet, as well as raising turkeys from traditional breeds.
At Bill Yockey's 34-acre farm in northwestern Pennsylvania, 350 birds forage on bluegrass, fescue and clover, as well as grasshoppers and moths. Yockey adds a farmyard diet of locally milled corn, oats and wheat. His birds fly, roost off the ground and propagate naturally. (Mass-produced turkeys are too breast-heavy to mate or fly.) The result is an unstressed bird with a strong immune system and much more flavorful and colorful meat. While the varieties vary a bit in size, their flavor does not. Plumage was originally bred to identify flocks. Expect long, dark legs (the birds run) and a white, but not bleached breast. No basting is necessary, according to Yockey. Its tough skin insulates a heritage bird in the oven, so the meat retains moisture. A slice is quite firm compared with a mass-produced turkey. Expect to pay about $4 to $7 a pound.
While more natural, heritage turkey feeding regimens are no less exacting than those at high-volume breeders. Mike Walters, who raises nine heritage varieties in Oklahoma, explains that the last seven to 10 days before slaughter are crucial for flavor. "I finish them off with chopped corn for a sweet and juicy taste," he says. He adds that some growers finish their turkeys with sage.
The next step toward the true pilgrim experience is wild turkey. This may not be for everyone; the taste is gamy compared with the rich flavor of heritage birds, and the yield is low (average eight-pound hens) with a higher percentage of dark meat.

Read here from Bob McGinn this morning. Once again, TT has gone after the fastest player who was available in the draft – though Sam Shields signed as a free agent. Clocking in at 4.30 in the 40 – not bad but not quite the 4.06 I ran for my pro day (wearing full pads and moon boots). According to Shields he picked the Pack over 7 other teams because he felt he had a shot to make the team and because he liked the history. I find that when young players reference the history of the Packers, sure in some cases they may be coached to say it, but in most cases it's usually a good sign of respect for authority and tradition.
Raw seems to be a good word to describe Shields. Tramon Williams was raw when he came into the league too. Both are super fast (will never forget Williams' rundown of Aevion Cason against Detroit a few years back on Thanksgiving – stands to this day as perhaps the second fastest I've ever seen someone run…Usain Bolt). Anyway, there is one key difference between Tramon and Sam. I believe Tramon Williams has already gone through the normal progression of a kick/punt returner. They are often eager to return at first because it means playing time and an opportunity to showcase speed/skills. And because kick returners tend to be a bit more aggressive/reckless early on trying to prove themselves, they are often more productive. But then, after a few big hits, a few costly fumbles, the signing of a nice contract or after getting more playing time on defense or offense, things change – they become more cautious, more hesitant. It happened to Williams, happened to Will Blackmon somewhat, even happened to Desmond Howard after his dominant Super Bowl and other great returners like Dante Hall.
Right now, Sam Shields knows he'll be fortunate to make an NFL roster. But his qualities of outrageous speed and aggressiveness on special teams could seriously work in his favor. My hope is that the Packers give Shields some kick return duties. He has the potential at least to be scary good. And from a risk reduction standpoint, I would much rather have a rookie who would be way at the bottom of the DB depth chart returning kicks than having our superstar most valuable player (Charles Woodson) do it.

Staff Reading Pick
Here is another reading pick from the Logan Library Staff.
Hell above earth : the incredible true story of an American WWII bomber commander and the copilot ordered to kill him
by Stephen Frater
Recommended by: Barbara
Captain Werner Goering was the nephew of Herman Goering who was a leading member of the Nazi Party and the commander in Chief of the Luftwaffe. What many people don't know was that he was a B-17 pilot in the US Air force. He fought in the war and was awarded honors. His co-pilot had orders to kill him if their B-17 was going down over Nazi territory. What was really interesting was that they both were LDS. Herman Goering's brother was converted by LDS missionaries after WWI and moved to SLC to work for the Mormon Church. The co-pilot ordered to kill him was also LDS. They became life long friends. A really interesting unknown story of WWII with a surprise ending!

The image of a young, black, servant dressed in fine clothes, wearing a turban, encrusted with gold and jewels, was adopted as the symbol of the city of Rijeka.
Known locally as 'morčić' its origins could be dated back to the 17th-18th century and the Venetian 'moretto'. This was the time when the nobility was obsessed with all things from the Orient and North Africa including Moorish slaves "imported" from Muslim countries. The Venetian nobility would dress-up their pages and servants in fine clothing and jewellery to show off their own wealth and extravagance. In their image various figurines and jewellery were designed and produced (a style later referred to as 'Blackamoors').
This symbol was soon transmitted to Rijeka (Fiume) where similar forms of jewellery were manufactured by local goldsmiths and this soon seeped into tradition among the women of the region, especially in the form of earrings.
Singularly worn earrings also became popular with their sons as well as sailors and fisherman for whom they became talismans and lucky charms. The 'morčić' became as symbol of wealth and prosperity and these pieces of jewellery were soon passed down through the generations from mothers to daughters throughout the Rijeka region.
This tradition reached its peak in the mid-19th century with the establishment of the Gigante & Co. and their production of earrings, brooches, pins and necklaces.
After WWII many goldsmiths of the Rijeka region, who had been producing the now locally renowned pieces of golden jewellery, emigrated and so their skills and knowledge also disappeared. It has only been since the early 1990s that the morčić image and jewellery has been resurrected and adopted as the mascot of the city of Rijeka.
The morčić motif can be seen throughout the city and is widely recognised, and jewellery and souvenirs are once again being produced. During the annual Rijeka Carnival (Riječki Karneval) many participants and dignitaries can be seen dressed as 'morčići' reflecting the area's centuries-old tradition.
How are the Morčić souvenirs made? Watch the video…
The morčić has also made its way into popular music – here's Neno Belan's "Rijeka Snova", featuring scenes of Rijeka and the motif of the city, one of my favourites 🙂

You Have The Right to Remain Silent, Kinda
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law. In the meantime, we may hook you up to a machine, read your mind and use your subconscious thoughts against you…"
The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that no person "shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." This is known as the privilege against compelled self-incrimination. Essentially, the government may not force a defendant to provide self-incriminating information. However, only testimonial evidence is protected; non-testimonial evidence is outside the scope of the Fifth Amendment and, to date, is not.
In assessing whether evidence is testimonial, we look to see if the suspect is asked a question that would require her to communicate an express or implied assertion of fact or belief. In other words, as was set out in the 1990 United States Supreme Court case of Pennsylvania v. Muniz, a response by a suspect is testimonial if the question asked is "reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response." Asking a suspect her name and address, is not considered testimonial – though of course, such information could be incriminating, if someone, say didn't want to admit that yes, she was indeed the criminal who is featured on Wanted posters.
While the line between what is considered self-incriminating, and the line between what is deemed testimonial is already blurry, new technologies further cloud these lines.
The New York Times recently interviewed Dr. S. Matthew Liao, a neuroethicist who directs the bioethics program at New York University, and published an article titled "Studying Ethical Questions as the Brian's Black Box is Unlocked." The piece, in part, discusses the recent attention that f.M.R.I.s (functional magnetic imagining) are receiving. With an f.M.R.I. "you can get pictures of what the brain is doing during cognition" Dr. Liao reported.
This got LASIS thinking.
If the police conducted an f.M.R.I. on a suspect, could the results be used against her in a court of law? Would this constitute testifying against oneself and thus violate the Fifth Amendment privilege against compelled self-incrimination? Would an f.M.R.I. result be considered testimonial?
The article didn't say. We explore the possibilities.

TORONTO (Reuters) - An Ontario Superior Court on Monday dismissed fraud charges against former Nortel Networks Chief Executive Frank Dunn and two other top executives of the failed telecom equipment supplier after a year-long trial involving one of the most spectacular casualties of the 1990's dot-com bubble.
Dunn, along with former Chief Financial Officer Douglas Beatty and former Controller Michael Gollogly, had been accused of misrepresenting Nortel's financial results between 2000 and 2004 in a plan that prosecutors alleged brought them bonus payments while defrauding investors.
The crown had charged that the accused improperly manufactured a loss in one quarter and then engineered a profit in a subsequent three-month period in order to trigger lucrative cash and stock bonuses.
But Justice Frank Marrocco said he was not satisfied that the three accused had improperly accounted for accrued liability balances to misrepresent Nortel's 2002 financial results, nor had they improperly fudged income statements in the first-quarter of 2003 in order to earn a bonus.
"The accused are presumed innocent. The burden is on the prosecution. It was entirely appropriate that we go through this process to find out what happened. The burden, in my view, is not met. The charges are dismissed," he said.
The verdict is bound to focus attention on complaints that Canada is soft on corporate crime. It was released more than four years after the executives were first charged. All three had pleaded not guilty.
Once the equipment manufacturing arm of Canada's biggest phone company, Nortel became a market darling in the late 1990's as the Internet revolution picked up steam and investors bet the company would make billions selling fibre optics networks.
In 2000, speculators drove the company's shares up to the point where its market capitalization topped out around C$400 billion, accounting for a full third of the entire Toronto Stock Exchange.
But the shares plunged as tech stocks fell out of favor and Nortel's sales came up well short of stratospheric analyst expectations. The stock dropped by more than 99 percent by 2002, decimating investment funds.
Nortel returned to profit in 2003 after several years of losses, but then was forced Nortel to restate its results several times, shaking investor faith in its prospects and triggering numerous investigations.
The scandal led to the firing of the three defendants in 2004.
Dunn had been Nortel's chief financial officer before his promotion to CEO in 2001, succeeding the affable John Roth at a time when no one else wanted the job.
With the company taking heavy losses, Dunn eliminated tens of thousands of jobs, sold plants, shut business lines and slashed costs.
Nortel filed for bankruptcy protection four years ago.
Critics have long argued that Canada is soft on white-collar crime, and some high-profile cases have dragged on for years, in contrast with cases in the United States that have led to long prison sentences for corporate criminals.
In 1997, shares of Bre-X collapsed after it emerged that samples from its Busang gold deposit in Indonesia had been salted to create the impression of a massive gold strike. Despite a prosecution that dragged on until 2007, no one was ever convicted.

Today's release from the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll takes us to our way-back machine once again. With all the talk about medical marijuana lately, combined with our 40th anniversary, we thought we'd go back and look for another interesting topic – attitudes toward marijuana possession and use. Turns out the last time we actually asked anything about it was 30 years ago, in 1981, and even then the Poll only asked one question. The questions were asked multiple times over the decade of the 1970s, then, poof, never again. It's as if the issue went up in smoke. The Poll did ask about drug use in general, and also alcohol abuse, but not specifically about pot.
So we've rectified that, and found that attitudes have continued to liberalize over the last 30 years, though maybe not by as much as we might have thought. Only 1/3 actually supports complete decriminalization. On the other hand, 86 percent support medical use of marijuana with a prescription. This seems like a really interesting way of viewing the issue.
This is the second in what is a series of 40th anniversary questions where we will go back to the early days of the Poll and see what's happened since. You can also look at the early days, if you want, by going to our archive site at http://www.scc.rutgers.edu/eagleton/ where you will find almost all of the public polling The Rutgers-Eagleton Poll has done over the years.
The text of the current release follows. Click here to get a PDF of the text with the questions and tables.
Overwhelming support for medical use
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – In the almost 40 years since the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll first asked about penalties for marijuana use, New Jersey voters have become more relaxed about the issue, according to the latest poll from the Eagleton Institute at Rutgers University.
In May 1972, 40 percent of New Jerseyans said penalties for marijuana use should be reduced. Today nearly six in 10 feel the same. Just over half now think pot possession should not be penalized at all, up from 35 percent, and one-third would now completely legalize its sale and use, compared to 21 percent in 1972.
Like many other issues, marijuana has become more partisan over the years: in 1972, Democrats and Republicans were only four points apart, but today the gap has grown to 20 points, with 64 percent of Democrats, but only 44 percent of Republicans supporting reduced penalties for its use. At the same time, the vast majority of current respondents (86 percent) support the availability of medical marijuana by prescription, including 92 percent of Democrats and 77 percent of Republicans.
"When we first asked these questions in the early 1970s, Garden Staters were much less supportive, although attitudes became more liberalized throughout that decade," said David Redlawsk, poll director and professor of political science at Rutgers University. "The change since then is significant, but not unexpected. What is new is the wide support for medical marijuana, even among those who otherwise oppose reducing or eliminating penalties for its recreational use."
Today's results are from a poll of 753 registered New Jersey voters, conducted from Nov. 9-12. The full sample has a margin of error of +/- 3.6 percentage points. The 1972 results are from a poll of 1218 registered voters, conducted during May 1972. This sample has a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points.
Not an issue in 1972, medicinal marijuana has broad support today
While medical marijuana was not on the agenda in the 1970s, 86 percent of current respondents favor legalization for medical purposes. Support is strong across almost all groups of voters, though
there is stronger among the most highly educated (92 percent) compared to those with a high school education or less (80 percent). Age does not seem to play much of a role – those over 65 are just about as likely to support medical marijuana as those under 45.
Voters with household incomes under $50,000 are slightly less supportive (84 percent) than higher earners (90 percent). Catholics (87 percent) are slightly stronger supporters than Protestants (82 percent) while virtually all Jewish respondents are positive. Race seems to play some role. Whites are more supportive of medical marijuana than blacks, 86 percent to 78 percent.
"The slowness with which the Christie administration appears to be implementing the medical marijuana law passed at the end of the Corzine administration seems to fly in the face of public opinion," said Redlawsk. "While recent reports say some of the problem is related to the difficulties of opening the dispensaries called for under the law, public support for the concept is very strong."
With increased overall support comes partisanship
In 1972, only 40 percent of New Jerseyans believed that penalties for marijuana use should be reduced. By decade's end, that had climbed to 51 percent. Today, 58 percent favor more lenient laws.
While support has climbed slowly, political partisans have grown apart on the issue of reduced penalties. By a 20-point margin, Democrats are more in favor of reducing penalties than Republicans. Fifty-eight percent of independent voters agree. In the 1972 poll, independents were the strongest supporters of reducing marijuana penalties at 53 percent. Democrats and Republicans were less likely to agree that penalties for marijuana use should be reduced and were only four points apart (42 percent and 38 percent, respectively).
Age cohorts have shown interesting changes. Those in their 20s in 1972 were the strongest supporters (66 percent). That same cohort – now in their 60s – is still supportive, but only by a 50 percent to 40 percent margin. Voters in their 50s are today's strongest supporters (70 percent) for reducing penalties for marijuana use. "As they have aged, the young voters of the 70s have become somewhat less supportive of reduced penalties," said Redlawsk. "Even so, while senior citizens are often more conservative on social issues, a majority continues to support greater leniency in marijuana use penalties."
In 1972 there was a distinct gender gap on this question, with women significant less likely to support reduced penalties for use. Over the past 40 years, support among men is little changed at 56 percent, but support among women has grown dramatically from 37 percent in 1972 to 54 percent today.
Majority support eliminating penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana
More than half of respondents agree that penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana should be eliminated; about one-third agreed 40 years ago. As with the question about use, the gap between Republicans and Democrats has grown. In 1972, 38 percent of Democrats and 29 percent of Republicans supported eliminating penalties for possession. Today 60 percent of Democrats are in favor, as well as 42 percent of Republicans. Independents have also become more lenient; 56 percent now say penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana should be eliminated. Previously, 45 percent felt the same.
Most age groups support eliminating possession penalties today, except for those in their 40s, who favor penalties by a 50 percent to 44 percent margin. This is in spite of the fact that the same group does support reducing penalties for use, by a 52 percent to 39 percent margin. "Those in their 40s came of age primarily during the Reagan-Bush years, which was an era of strong negative messages about drugs," noted Redlawsk. "The results seem to be reflected here, with this group significantly less supportive of reduced penalties for use and possession than most others."
In the early 1970s, education seemed to be a significant indicator of support for decriminalizing some marijuana offenses, with support increasing with the level of education. Today there is little difference among voters with different levels of education.
Completely legalizing the sale and use of marijuana is still opposed by most
While generally supporting reduced penalties for possession and use of small amounts of marijuana, New Jersey voters remain adamantly opposed to complete legalization. Only 35 percent would support legalizing the sale and the use of marijuana, though this is substantially higher than the 21 percent reported in 1972.
Voters of all political leanings show increased support since 1972, with Democrats nearly doubling support to 40 percent (up 19 points), followed by independents at 37 percent (up from 30 percent) and Republicans at 24 percent, who also nearly double their 14 percent support 40 years ago.
The historical data shows that in the early 1970s, younger people were more likely to favor the complete legalization of marijuana than older people. The same holds today, as those over 60 are more than 10 points less likely to support legalization than other age groups.
"Issues surrounding marijuana remain similar to where they were 30 or 40 years ago, when we last asked, but voters have become a bit more liberal over the years," said Redlawsk. "Even so, people continue to stop short at complete legalization, except for medical use. There simply does not seem to be any momentum for going much further than that."

I've decided to post this here since this seems to be the most popular area of the forum.
What we've decided to do, and in fact have already begun, is to transfer from the old Yahoo group jokes, sea stories, other website links, etc. to this forum. The idea is to preserve and redistribute info, ideas, thoughts and no-shitters for posterity. As you can see from the few reposts that have been done, the original poster and date will always be included at the beginning, and as well as can be followed, entire threads will be copied.
Not all old posts will be recopied here: things like holiday greetings, old pre-reunion discussions having no relevance today, etc. will be deleted. Also, we are making our best guess as to which section of this forum to repost, and there are many, many posts to review and copy, so be patient.
To let you know it's a copy, there will be 2 stars like this ** in the title. And the poster here will be "From Yahoo".
We will be cleaning up the old posts to make them more readable (correct spacing, etc. to account for different formats) but we will NOT edit, delete or in any other way change the contents of the original post, except if it's vulgar, then we'll sparingly use *'s without changing the meaning.
Any thoughts or comments on this would be greatly appreciated, as we can use all the help we can get at this point.
A note from the website committee......

South Dakota House Approves Bill for Home-schooled Students
PIERRE - The South Dakota House has approved a bill to help home-schooled students receive scholarship money from the state.
The Opportunity Scholarship is given to high school students who receive a 24 on their ACT test and take a rigorous course load. Starting in July, students who don't meet the course load requirements will be able to receive the scholarship with a 28 on the ACT.
Advocates for home-schooled students complained that the change was unfair because those students could not meet the course standards. They proposed a bill that would keep the ACT minimum score at 24.
The Argus Leader reports the bill fell one vote short of passage, but was revived and passed Thursday after the minimum ACT score for home-schooled students was set at 26.

BlackBerry maker RIM has announced some relatively impactful changes to its developer platform with the release of its WebWorks SDK 2.0 offering. With this release, JavaScript APIs are now separated from the OS. This new architecture is designed to allow developers to modify and enhance the existing APIs and package them with their BlackBerry WebWorks application. It will also simplify adding new APIs to applications.
The BlackBerry WebWorks framework and all of the APIs are open sourced and are available on GitHub. Developers can now contribute and participate in the evolution of the BlackBerry WebWorks project.
RIM says that these changes meet developers' needs in terms of ease of development and flexibility &mdash and that now programmers can take advantage of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK support for web standard technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) to build integrated standalone BlackBerry applications. Once developed, these apps can be fully integrated into the BlackBerry ecosystem and distributed and monetized via BlackBerry App World.
To streamline development work even further, RIM has aligned the versioning of the two platforms so that developers can deploy applications on the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK for Tablet OS and Smartphones.
RIM has also introduced the final version of its BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR, which includes the following changes:
- Special APIs for the BlackBerry PlayBook Plugins for Adobe Flash Builder
- A BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet Simulator
- A Getting Started Guide
"With this update of the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR, RIM gives developers the opportunity to leverage a strong competitive advantage, the Adobe AIR technology's capability to enable developers to share code across multiple platforms, thereby offering them the benefit of a wide choice of development environments," says the company.

Friedman: Order vs. Disorder, Part 2
Thomas Friedman says, 'The only way Israel can truly curtail the Hamas rocket threat is if the Palestinians of Gaza demand' they stop.
I've argued for a while now that it is always useful to study the Israeli-Arab conflict because it is to the wider war of civilizations what off-Broadway is to Broadway. A lot of stuff starts there and then goes to Broadway.
So what's playing off-Broadway these days? The Israeli-Arab conflict has become a miniature of the most relevant divide in the world today: the divide between the "world of order" and the "world of disorder."
Israel faces nonstate actors in civilian clothes, armed with homemade rockets and drones, nested among civilians on four of its five borders: Sinai, Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. And what is most striking about this play is that the traditional means of bringing order seem ineffective. Israel, a mini-superpower, keeps pummeling the Islamist militias in Gaza with its modern air force, but the superempowered Palestinian militants, leveraging cheap high-tech tools, keep coming back with rockets and even a homemade drone.
What to do? For starters, it would be great if the big powers of the world of order - the United States, Russia, China, Japan, India and the European Union - were able to collaborate more in stemming the spread of the world of disorder. That is certainly necessary. But the prospects for that are limited. No power these days wants to lay hands on the world of disorder because all you win is a bill. And even if they did, it would not be sufficient.
In my view, the only way Israel can truly curtail the Hamas rocket threat is if the Palestinians of Gaza demand that the rockets stop. Sure, Israel can inflict enough pain on all of Gaza to get a cease-fire, but it never lasts. The only sustainable way to do it is by Israel partnering with moderate Palestinians in the West Bank to build a thriving state there, so Gaza Palestinians wake up every day and say to the nihilistic Hamas: "We want what our West Bank cousins have." The only sustainable controls are those that come from within.
That is how the U.S. military defeated the earlier version of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, when the jihadists largely took over Iraq's Anbar province in 2006-07. The United States partnered with the Sunni Muslim tribal leaders who didn't want puritanical Islam, or their daughters to be forced to marry fundamentalists, or to give up their whiskey.
We brokered an agreement of shared guns, shared power and shared values - about the future of Iraq - between those Sunni tribesmen and Iraq's ruling Shiite president, Nouri al-Maliki. That is what ended the jihadist disorder there in 2007.
And then what did al-Maliki do as soon as we left Iraq? He stopped paying the Sunni tribal militias and tried to arrest moderate Sunni politicians. Rather than building on the foundation we laid of power-sharing, al-Maliki uprooted it. That is why ISIs found it so easy to move in.
Jewish settlers in Israel have done all they could to build more settlements and undermine Palestinian trust that Israel will ever share sufficient power for a West Bank Palestinian state to emerge. And the moderate, secular Palestinian leadership in the West Bank all too often has shown too little courage to compromise at crunchtime. So no compelling West Bank alternative to Hamas' nihilism exists.
Patrick Doherty, author of "A New U.S. Grand Strategy" in Foreign Policy magazine, argues that if you look at the traditional responses to the world of disorder by both U.S. and other leaders, you notice that there are a lot of "controllers and disrupters but no builders. Our leaders were trained in the control tactics of the Cold War - aka 'crisis management.' So it's no surprise that we are using our power only to hedge risk and preserve a failing status quo. But now we need our leaders to be builders with enough foresight to shape a sustainable ... order - and to support regional leaders committed to the same."
Control, notes Doherty, is surely better than chaos. But as we have seen with the controllers America has tended to adopt in Egypt, Iraq and Israel, their brand of control "tends toward stagnation and excesses, as power is concentrated to counter the forces of chaos."
When all the old means of top-down control are decreasingly available or increasingly expensive, leaders and their people are going to have to embrace a new, more sustainable, source of order that emerges from the bottom up and is built on shared power, values and trust.
Yes, yes. I know that sounds impossibly hard. But when isolated Gazans can make their own drones, order doesn't come easy anymore.

So, I've FINALLY gotten on the Game of Thrones bandwagon and want to talk about it.
I'd heard all about how awesome it is from friends whose opinions I respect, so about six months ago, I gave it a whirl. I knew the show was violent, but figured I could handle it since I liked The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad.
Still, the pilot ended up being more than I could stomach. When a show starts off with frozen children, you know you've got a real challenge in store.
But I still wasn't prepared for all the sexual exploitation and violence toward animals and kids. I don't want to post spoilers, but trust me, it's nothing pretty.
My husband and I decided to give it one more try, however, since people keep going on about it. This time we watched a few episodes and before we knew it, we were hooked.
Why? Because it's a great story with well-developed characters in a fascinating make-believe world. Even if I have to occasionally avert my eyes while watching it.
Thing is, I'm far from the only one having a rough time with its content. The show has been repeatedly slammed for gratuitous sexual violence and its brutalization of women.
A friend of mine recently reacted to all this criticism by posting a long rant about it on Facebook. He's a bright guy who isn't shy about sharing opinions I don't always agree with, but that always make me think…
Like this newest one. His counter-rant pointed out that while, yes, GoT undeniably includes loads of violence against female characters, there is EVEN MORE violence against men. Men are routinely tortured, humiliated, and killed in the goriest of ways… yet no one seems to care about that.
He makes an interesting point. One about which I have mixed feelings.
On the one hand, GOT's brutalization of men means women aren't being singled out. The show depicts a world that is nasty in general. It's not as if all the guys are all having a wonderful time while the women get crushed. It's a dog-eat-dog place where "you win or you die" and female players just aren't being handed a pass.
On the other, I don't think it's true that no one cares about tortured male characters. We're upset by it too, especially when we like the guys being brutalized.
But I do think it's fair to say there's been more public uproar against female exploitation. The question then becomes, is that wrong?
Whether of not these attitudes are more sexist than fair, I can't shake the sense that they're natural. Even inborn.
Why? Because most people respect basic notions of fair play.
We all have the capacity for violence, however repressed. We HAVE to, out of our self-preserving instincts from a centuries-long race for survival, if nothing else. Few of us, if it came down to it, wouldn't pull a trigger to save our own lives or those of the people we love.
But we call that self-defense, a form of violence we find acceptable. Even necessary and praise-worthy at times.
Most of us are okay with self-defense, but only sadists feel good about the unwarranted exploitation of defenseless innocents. That's considered bullying, which violates the rules of the game.
So, violence is okay when the cause is just and the victim is fairly matched. We feel better, for example, about two guys squaring off than we do warriors beating up blind, unarmed children.
By this rationale, it makes sense to be less horrified by whatever happens to strong men, armed and warrior-trained, who have voluntarily stepped into battle. They hold most of the power, anyway, and seemingly have the most to gain.
Whether or not it's fair, women seem relatively innocent and unfairly matched. Most women in the show aren't fighters, aren't armed, and are used as political pawns against their will (at least at first). Whereas the men fight other men in self-defense or to gain territory, they exploit women to appease their fetishes, a cause neither essential nor sympathetic.
Now, I'm not saying there aren't evil female characters in the show. Far from it, but that doesn't overrule our basic notions of fair play. We're more horrified when women are hurt for the same reasons we're more horrified when children and animals are hurt: there's a sense they're unlucky innocents, unfairly outmatched.
A telling comparison might be made with Tyrion the dwarf, a male character physically limited by his size. He's such a likable guy, though, that it's hard to decide whether his smallness earns him any extra sympathy points.
What do you think? Do you find the greater public uproar about female violence sexist, or do you think it's natural?
It's an interesting debate, either way.

These dynamics then adversely affects how well the two currencies are trading. At this point it's important to know what's just happened because it will influence whether or not someone should cease trading this currency pair for a while or continue.

Performance Golf Shirts
Using Custom Logo Golf Shirts to Promote Your Brand
Performance golf shirts with a custom company logo is an effective way to positively promote a brand. When sponsoring a golf tournament, whether it is for a charity, an individual, business, or product, printing your company's logo on the shirt sleeve attractively and effectively promotes your brand. As players sport their performance golf shirts on the course, spectators and participants see what companies are actively involved with the event. This type of branding can be very beneficial especially if the event garners a large crowd. Similarly, if the event gains media attention such as community or national press, people will be looking to see what companies or individuals are involved with the event. Branding strategies are found to have a large impact on consumer behavior. Customizing clothing, in particular performance wear, is a very effective way to push a brand. Your company can bring their products and services to life by customizing performance golf shirts.
Promote Wellness with Cotton Golf Shirts and Microfiber Shirts
Today, health and wellness is highly encouraged in the workplace. Companies have incorporated gyms into their office buildings, taken out corporate memberships at local facilities, and even participated in corporate golf outings. If your company is interested in publicly promoting an active lifestyle, consider distributing performance golf shirts as a functional promotional piece. Golf shirts are available in a wide variety of performance enhancing materials and colors so your executives can create highly customized and comfortable athletic apparel. By implementing a wellness initiative, employees and observers will connect with your brand and view the company in a positive manner.
Target the Golfing World with Performance Golf Shirts
It is unclear when the first game of golf was officially played, but it is clear that golf has continued to gain in popularity since its origins. With such a large fan base golf apparel such as performance golf shirts has also gained in popularity. Today, you can find men and women wearing golf apparel on and off of the course. As a promotional tool and a marketing strategy, consider printing your company's logo on performance golf shirts. Performance golf shirts have a low cost per impression so each imprinted shirt will bring your company logo or message exposure. Similarly, performance golf shirts are an effective and low cost alternative to many other advertising tools. So, when your company plans their next marketing push consider custom printing performance golf shirts to promote your brand!
Performance Golf Shirts for the Business Golfer
Wear performance golf shirts as a way to dress for success during a round of "business golf." Business golf is one of the new and innovative ways many business executives discuss their future endeavors. Even though business golf seems much more informal than most corporate meetings, there are some general etiquette guidelines that should be followed. It is important that business is not discussed before the 5th hole or after the 15th. As a way to stay in your client's mind, consider wearing a performance golf shirt customized with your company's logo. Not only do you and your partner look professional, but you are discretely promoting your business.

No one can accuse Lori Glisson of being a NIMBY. She's not someone who can tolerate wind turbines as long as they're "Not In My Back Yard."
She's leading the effort to alter Seneca Township's new wind energy ordinance even though there won't be a turbine in her back yard.
The Glissons live in the section of Seneca Township that's zoned residential and wind turbines are off limits in that area.
Glisson said she's followed wind energy developments for 10 years and she's taken an interest in the ill health effects that many people report. Wind development companies tend to dismiss complaints, but the reports of problems continue as wind farms increase in number.
Glisson said she wasn't aware that the Seneca Township planning commission was working on wind power regulations until she read in the Observer that an ordinance was being patterned after the one in Palmyra Township—an ordinance that's much less restrictive than Riga Township's.
She believes Seneca's ordinance was rushed into place without addressing the concerns she presented to the board. After the township board approved the ordinance in March, Glisson says she was left with no option other than to seek a referendum that would allow all township residents to decide if the new law sufficiently protects citizens.
She had no trouble obtaining enough signatures for the referendum vote and now she's working to explain wind farm operations to people before the Aug. 7 vote.
Glisson has scheduled an informational meeting at 7 p.m. June 27 at the Morenci American Legion. Representatives of the Interstate Informed Citizens Coalition (IICC) will attend the meeting. The group's goal is to raise public awareness of health and safety issues related to industrial wind turbines.
"I don't have a problem with turbines if they're not impacting people," Glisson said, but she thinks much greater protection is needed for non-participating residents—those who aren't willing to sign a lease for the construction of a turbine.
The Seneca ordinance allows a turbine to be erected a distance of three times its height from a non-participating resident's house. The sound is limited to 45 decibels, as measured at a resident's home.
People's reactions to living near an industrial turbine are mixed and very subjective. Many people aren't bothered by them at all; others complain about the noise—from the whooshing of the blades, from occasional mechanical noises when the turbine heads are turned, and from a low-frequency noise that's felt by some individuals, as when a car stereo with a loud base drives by.
Many people are also bothered by rapidly moving shadows (known as shadow flicker) from turbine blades during a certain part of the day.
In Glisson's view, if turbines can't be placed in Seneca Township in a way that avoids these problems, then they don't belong there.
Moving north
Last November Riga Township residents voted nearly two to one to uphold an ordinance that wind farm developers said effectively banned them from erecting turbines in the township. Setback requirements and noise limits were more restrictive than developers could tolerate for efficient operation.
A company known as Blissfield Wind Energy canceled its plans to develop a wind farm in the Riga/Palmyra area and instead turned its interest north toward Gratiot and Ionia counties.
Plans were already underway for a wind energy facility on farmland situated between Alma and Saginaw, in Gratiot County. In March of this year, 133 wind turbines went on-line to create what is currently Michigan's largest wind farm.
The turbines measure 463 feet from the ground to the tip of the blade and cost an average of $3.3 million each—made possible with large federal subsidies. The project spans about 30,000 acres of farmland that involves portions of four townships.
Breckinridge farmer Kent Humm, who is also a Bethany Township board trustee, said collaboration between the townships was underway before wind development was on the horizon.
It made sense for the townships to continue working together for the development of a wind energy ordinance, Humm said, and eventually a public hearing was scheduled to involve residents from all four areas.
Each group made sure that any subdivision areas were zoned residential to keep turbines at a distance.
"Originally there were to be no more than four turbines per section [square mile]," Humm said. Now that they're erected, the majority of the property involved has no more than one or two per section.
Humm has four turbines on his farms that total 800 acres. Most of the turbines are placed off to the edge of farmland to minimize interferences with crops.
Participating land owners received an initial $1,000 payment. Developers suggested the money could be used for legal fees if participants wanted an attorney to examine the contracts.
Property owners now receive $6.23 annually for every acre in the lease, even though a turbine takes up a small portion of a field.
Any property owner is invited to join in—not just farmers with large acreage.
"At least they're involved," Humm said. "Everyone is getting treated the same."
Everyone involved will share in a pool of money equal to four percent of the developer's gross profits. Developers suggested this could be about $65 an acre. For Humm, that includes 25 acres of woods.
Developers figure a turbine takes up about three acres and they pay $300 per acre at each turbine location. Humm said the turbine near his house actually took about three-fourths of an acre out of production, and there's nothing he could grow that would bring in as much cash as what he's getting from turbine leases.
Humm admits there are pros and cons to the issue.
"Is it going to solve our electrical needs?" he asked.
Of course not, but it will contribute toward meeting the always increasing demand for power.
And, yes, they make noise, but nothing that troubles his family.
"You get accustomed to it," Humm said, just like people who live near a railroad or some other source of sound.
He knows that the shadow flicker bothers some people, but it doesn't last long when it occurs—unlike the ceiling fans in his house that produce a flicker as long as they're running.
There are always some people who will complain, Humm said, but that number appears to be small in his area. By and large, he thinks area residents are pleased to be part of the state's largest wind energy facility.
He likes the appearance of them and enjoys watching them spin.
That's not the case for many people including Lori Glisson.
"The more I research them, the less I like them," she said, "and the more determined I get."
The success or failure of her campaign to alter the existing ordinance—to make changes she believes will better protect the citizens of Seneca Township—won't be known until after the Aug. 7 vote.

The unique system of terraced agriculture practiced in Battir has continued without stop throughout wars dating back from the eras of the Romans to the Mamluks to the Ottomans. It survived the devastation of Israel's 1948 land grab, the 1967 war and two intifadas.
But now Israel plans to build its Apartheid Wall directly through the terraces, destroying not just an agricultural landmark, but also the way of life the people of Battir have held on to for over 2000 years.
"If they build the wall or they excavate, how many of these terraces will be destroyed?" wondered Battir resident Hassan Muamer. "If they bring the bulldozers, it will destroy everything, and we will never have the chance to get it back."
The people of Battir have pursued a variety of methods in their struggle to stop the wall, including fighting Israel in court and advocating to have Battir declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The village will be considered for UNESCO status in June, and on December 12 of last year, the Israeli High Court declared that the Israeli army must submit alternative plans for the construction of the wall within 90 days. But the army could still decide to build along the planned route, and there's no guarantee that even if it became a UNESCO site Israel would be deterred from building the wall.
Israel's railroad and the excuse of security
The village of Battir lies directly next to the Israeli-controlled Hijaz Railway, built during the Ottoman period to connect Jerusalem to the Mediterranean coast. Although the village itself is Area C, much of Battir's farmland is located on the far side of the tracks, inside the Green Line.
If they build the wall or excavate, how many of these terraces will be destroyed? If they bring the bulldozers it will destroy everything, and we will never have the chance to get it back
If they build the wall or excavate, how many of these terraces will be destroyed? If they bring the bulldozers it will destroy everything, and we will never have the chance to get it back
Under the terms of the 1949 Rhodes Armistice Agreements, Israel is obligated to allow residents of Battir to access their farmland, provided that the people of Battir do not attempt to damage the railway. The people of Battir have honored this agreement, but Israel now plans to break it by building the wall, which will separate Battir from almost all of its agricultural land.
Eleyain Shami of Battir's village council said the residents of Battir expected Israel to continue to honor the terms of the agreement, as they had done since 1949.
"We respected this rule, so we were shocked," he said. "They didn't care about international law or any agreement."
Muamer, who went to primary school in the schoolhouse directly next to the railway, said the people of Battir learn as children that they must respect the Rhodes Agreements so that Israel will remain obligated to keep their end of the bargain.
"We learned if we have any problems with the train while it is passing, we would immediately lose our school, and afterward we would lose our land," he said. "After the first Intifada until now, I can assure you nothing happened (to the train.)
"Nonetheless, Israel has suddenly decided that the wall is necessary to protect the railway.
"As always with Israel, the only excuse is it's a security issue," Muamer said. "But it's been secure since 1967. What's changed?"
The struggle for Battir
Due to the one-of-a-kind terraced agriculture, even some factions within the Israeli government oppose construction of the wall through Battir. Israel's Nature and Parks Authority recommended to the High Court that the wall be rerouted in order to avoid damaging the historic site.
The people of Battir are involved in a drawn-out legal process with Israel's High Court to block construction of the wall. But even with the support of the Nature and Parks Authority, many in Battir believe the court will not rule in favor of the people of Battir.
"We are still dealing with an Israeli court that could decide whatever is good for them," said village council member Hussein Butmeh. "We are not putting our hope in the court, but in the UNESCO.
The village council has been petitioning to have Battir named a UNESCO World Heritage site for five years, and has been petitioning the Israeli court for eight. The council believes that being added to the UNESCO list will cause the international community to pressure Israel not to build the wall, and the people of Battir see the UNESCO application as a crucial part of the struggle to keep their land.
"What we're trying to achieve with this UNESCO thing is the control of this land," Muamer said. "You must find a way to protect your land, protect your way of living. This is the main point."
The Israeli government is also facing pressure from the nearby settlement of Beitar Illit to select a different route for the wall, but Battir's village council does not see the settlers as allies.
"They don't want to build the wall here because it will stop expansion of the settlement," Shami said. "They are worse even than the Israeli government. With their long term plans they want to confiscate all the land in the West Bank."
Although the people of Battir do not agree with the motives of the settlers, they have the same goal, at least in the short term: stop construction of the wall. If the wall is built, it will signal a death knell for the village of Battir, Butmeh said.
"For the people of Battir, we are fighting for our existence on this land," he said. "Our first mission is to keep the continuity of this land as one body. If it is cut, it will die like a human being."
Shami said the people of Battir remain convinced they will prevail in their struggle, a belief backed up by the fact the Israeli government has so far been unable to follow through with its plans.
"Our duty, since we start our struggle eight years ago, is to keep our hope," he said. "Because as soon as we lose our hope, maybe they will build the wall."
Despite the overwhelming military might of the Israeli army, the people of Battir will not be intimidated and will not abandon their struggle."
With its power, (Israel) can do whatever it wants," Shami said. "Even if they take this land by force, we will not surrender. We will keep this land as Battir, as part of Palestine, no matter what they are going to do."

The Gunners moved two points clear of City, who host third-placed Chelsea on Monday night, with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium in a match where they had to be patient to eventually break down what was a determined defensive display from the visitors with a second-half brace from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Since shipping six at City on December 14, Arsenal's defence has been breached just four times - with Arsene Wenger's men registering seven clean sheets from those 10 matches in all competitions.
Much of that has been down to a settled back four and the growing central defensive partnership between Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker.
Poland international Szczesny feels the growing understanding through the Arsenal rearguard could yet prove decisive.
"Our defensive record, especially at home, has been fantastic and we know that if we keep clean sheets we have got every chance of winning the game," said Szczesny, who made a smart save from point-blank range to deny Cameron Jerome what would have been an equaliser.
"Over the last couple of seasons we have had less luck with injuries
I never played with the same back four for more than two or three games whereas now we play with the same back four, sometimes we rotate the full-backs but in general we stay with the same defence.
"We read each other and it is a very good understanding that we have."
Szczesny continued: "We realise that if you want to win the championship then you have to be solid defensively and that is the most important thing.
"We know that clean sheets give you the best platform to go on and win games so if we can keep a few more until the end of the season then we can get our rewards."
Arsenal travel to Liverpool on Saturday before hosting Manchester United and then tackling the Reds again in the FA Cup fifth round ahead of their Champions League last-16 first-leg meeting with Bayern Munich.
Defender Koscielny maintains Arsenal will be ready for the challenges ahead.
"February is a very important for us, but the season is long and the other teams will play against the teams who try to win the league so it's a long (season) and too early to say if we can win the title," Koscielny said on Arsenal Player.
"It's the team who will be the most consistent in the league (that will win it).
"We will see, but February and March will be very important for us."
Midfielder Mathieu Flamini will not be available for another two matches after starting a suspension on Sunday, although Jack Wilshere should recover from his ankle injury to play at Anfield.
With Aaron Ramsey still sidelined by a thigh problem, Wenger conceded it was far from ideal to learn deadline day loan signing Kim Kallstrom is expected to need around six weeks to recover from a micro-fracture in his back.
Palace, meanwhile, must regroup for their battle to stay up, and are now just a point ahead of 18th-placed West Ham.
Tony Pulis' squad will be bolstered by several deadline day signings, including Tom Ince from Blackpool.
Forward Marouane Chamakh, sold by Arsenal in the summer, said: "It was really hard for us in the end, but we learned a lot and are ready for the next game against West Brom.
"The new players can be good for the team because we can be stronger and there is more choice for the coach."

Breakthrough in Beach Restoration Technology
Patented beach restoration technology reverses erosion without the addition of artificial fill, and independent university studies verified that there were no adverse side effects to adjacent shorelines.
The system has successfully restored more than 100 miles of beaches on Great Lakes and ocean shorelines. Studies demonstrate that the technology is a true breakthrough in coastal erosion control. System cost is significantly less than traditional methods because storm energy itself is harnessed to produce lasting benefits.

"The Trouble with Gay Rights: Race and the Politics of Sexual Orientation in Philadelphia, 1969-1982," by Kevin J. Mumford
In 1974 and 1982 Philadelphia's gays and lesbians mobilized for a bill to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and unexpectedly encountered the politics of race. Kevin J. Mumford traces the competing arguments and strategies of a range of groups, from early gay liberationists to conservative African American clergy to black gay men, for and against sexual equality. Mumford illustrates that gay and lesbian activists have had to struggle with the legacy of the civil rights movement and that gay identities may have proliferated and become more coherent as a result.

February 16, 1996, Section A, Page 30Buy Reprints
Eva Hart was 7 years old and bound for a new life in Canada when her father woke her in the middle of the night, carried her outside in a blanket and told her, "Hold Mummy's hand and be a good girl."
It was the last thing he ever said to her, and she never saw him again. Later that night, wide awake and clinging to her mother in a lifeboat, the little girl watched as the Titanic rose straight up on her bow and plunged to the bottom of the sea, carrying her father and more than 1,500 other passengers and crew members to their deaths in the North Atlantic.
As one of only 705 Titanic passengers who survived, Eva Hart never forgot what she had seen and heard that night. When she died on Wednesday at a hospice in London at the age of 91, she was regarded as last link of living memory with the maritime disaster that rocked the world on April 15, 1912.
Of the eight remaining survivors, seven were too young at the time to know what was happening, according to Karen Kamuda of the Titanic Historical Society in Springfield, Mass., and one, nearing her 100th birthday, no longer remembers.
But even during Mrs. Hart's last years, her memory remained vivid and chilling.
"I saw that ship sink," she said in a 1993 interview. "I never closed my eyes. I didn't sleep at all. I saw it, I heard it, and nobody could possibly forget it."
There have been shipwrecks with greater loss of life before and after the Titanic, but none have clamped such a chilling grip on the popular imagination.
That is partly because the Titanic was on her maiden voyage carrying many prominent and wealthy passengers, but it is mainly because of a well-publicized exercise in hubris.
The White Star Line had proclaimed the Titanic the "unsinkable ship," a claim that caused Miss Hart's mother such apprehension that even as they walked up the gangplank, her daughter later recalled, she renewed her warning that calling a ship unsinkable was "flying in the face of God." She was so convinced of impending doom, her daughter later maintained, that she slept during the day and stayed awake in her cabin at night fully dressed.
The iceberg that sliced the Titanic's hull below the waterline belied White Star's claims. The network of massive bulkheads that supposedly made the Titanic unsinkable had not been extended high enough. Water gushing into one compartment simply flowed over the top of the bulkheads.
Returning to England, where her mother remarried, Miss Hart was plagued with nightmares until, after her mother's death when she was 23, she confronted her fears head on, returning to sea and locking herself in a cabin for four days until the nightmares went away.
She held several jobs, becoming a professional singer in Australia, working as a Conservative Party organizer and serving as a magistrate in England. She described her life in a 1994 autobiography, "In the Shadow of the Titanic."
Until recent years, Miss Hart chose not to talk about the disaster, but when she did open up, she was outspoken, denouncing efforts to salvage artifacts from the Titanic as "grave robbing," and excoriating White Star officials for failing to provide enough lifeboats.
"If a ship is torpedoed, that's war," she once said. "If it strikes a rock in a storm, that's nature. But just to die because there weren't enough lifeboats, that's ridiculous."
Her anger was fueled by memory.
"I can remember the colors, the sounds, everything," she said. "The worst thing I can remember are the screams."
But even worse, she conceded, was the silence that followed.
"It seemed as if once everybody had gone, drowned, finished, the whole world was standing still. There was nothing, just this deathly, terrible silence in the dark night with the stars overhead."
Miss Hart, who never married, leaves no immediate family. The remaining Titanic survivors are Edith Brown Haisman, Barbara West and Millzina Dean, all of England; Michael Navratil and Louise Laroche of France, and Eleanor Shuman, Winnifred Tongerloo and Lillian Asplund of the United States.
