I have previously blogged about the reference of the Syrian situation to the ICC by the UNSC (here) and how the political nature of international criminal justice mars its purport and essence (here).
The protracted violence and deaths in Syria has been a cause for concern, with the Security Council also having condemned it in the past. However, while voting on adoption of a resolution that condemned "grave and systematic human rights violations" in Syria and entailed threat of measures under the U.N. Charter against Syria, both Russia and China vetoed it [much to the exasperation of the US (calling it a 'ruse') and European nations, who pushed for the resolution in the first place].
Russia's reasons for the veto were that although they did not support the Syrian regime, the resolution would make onerous a peaceful resolution of the dispute (" Russia does not agree with the unilateral accusatory bias against Damascus."). Whereas China believed the resolution will only complicate the matter. (see here).
Mark Kersten writes that the veto was not surprising as the situation surrounding Syria is much different that what happened with Libya. Also, that the expectation that a new norm of international politics for intervention to protect human lives and human rights would take shape after the unanimous resolution against Libya was quite far-fetched. In fact, that the West was rebuffed by China and Russia was a direct concomitant of what happened after the Libyan resolution.
Although consensus in the international community is hard to come by, in matters that require concerted action, political calculations play a major role. The major powers will stand united on pressing matters only if their interests are served and accommodated. What is questionable is the organized hypocrisy behind international considerations – which is a not a new phenomenon.

This dress makes me wish it would be summer so much - it's such a beautiful 70s inspired indian dress! I got it on sale and it's from the californian brand "Raga". I really like its burgundy/brown colors and elephants for the print. On the day I took the photos it was really windy and snowing, so you can imagine I wear a thick faux fur suede coat above dresses at the moment.
Have a great day!

The 1990s at the CMA: 1990 — 1999
The 1990s saw a continued cycle of repression in the Canadian museum landscape. The CMA had to face cut after cut to its funding, as did individual museums. The Museums Assistance Program was to suffer a 38% cut for the 1995/6 fiscal year — to its lowest level of funding on record to that point. For the first time in history, museums became painfully aware of their status as a business and the age-old dilemma of art and economics emerged with unprecedented urgency. CMA members used their magazine to dialogue about possible resolutions covering the widest range of options imaginable from "museums as theme parks" to "temples of knowledge." The question on tips of tongues was whether museums would maintain their status as producers of knowledge, or if they had become simply disseminators, more in keeping with the information society.
In the face of record layoffs, mounting deficits, fewer exhibitions and in several cases, permanent closure, the CMA began to offer insurance group plans, group discount ad rates, a mail-order catalogue, professional seminars and bursaries. Sadly, the waiving of membership fees for those members who lost their jobs due to cutbacks became a reality.
"Advocacy Alerts" also began in the 1990s, to let members know when there was an opportunity to speak out for museums: "We want to give the good and bad news, the moment it breaks," said John McAvity.
In 1996, reminiscent of 1982/3, there was again another great turnover in the directorship of Canadian museums. The number of departures from prominent managerial roles was far higher than normal; being a director was a very tough job in the new economic reality, and became primarily about economic development instead of new programs, research opportunities and new acquisitions.
The CMA managed to remain optimistic in such dour times. In 1997, the year that the CMA turned 50, new strategic alliances were formed as a way to create a stronger voice coming from the cultural sector. The CMA joined forces with Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA), the Canadian Federation of Friends of Museums (CFFM) and the Canadian Council of Science Centres (CCSC). The CMA also built administrative partnerships with ICOM-Canada, and the Canadian Art Museums Directors Organization (CAMDO).
These alliances allowed the CMA a stronger voice in advocacy, and an opportunity to speak in concert with related national organizations and respond to the new globalized economy. Seen as a way to mobilize people with specialized knowledge and expertise, they became a forum for networking, information sharing and peer support.

Book News: Sherwin B. Nuland, Author Of 'How We Die,' Dies At 83
The daily lowdown on books, publishing, and the occasional author behaving badly.
- Sherwin B. Nuland, the author of How We Die, died on Monday at the age of 83. The book, which won a National Book Award in 1994 and spurred debate about assisted suicide, sought to "demythologize the process of dying," and detailed the ways that bodies shut down in death. It has sold more than 500,000 copies. Nuland wrote, "'Death with dignity' is our society's expression of the universal yearning to achieve a graceful triumph over the stark and often repugnant finality of life's last sputterings. But the fact is, death is not a confrontation. It is simply an event in the sequence of nature's ongoing rhythms. Not death but disease is the real enemy, disease the malign force that requires confrontation. Death is the surcease that comes when the exhausting battle has been lost." Nuland died of prostate cancer.
- The spy novelist John le Carré wrote in to The Telegraph about John Bingham, the spy who helped inspire his character George Smiley, and government surveillance. In a letter to the editor, he says, "Where Bingham believed that uncritical love of the Secret Services was synonymous with love of country, I came to believe that such love should be examined. And that, without such vigilance, our Secret Services could in certain circumstances become as much of a peril to our democracy as their supposed enemies."
- Pakistani novelist Kamila Shamsie writes about the process of becoming a British citizen and the threat of having to leave London: "It wouldn't be a total severing; we would still be able to meet on my visits as we used to before — but now that I had learned what it is to wake up with London, and fall asleep with it, and have it be the place I returned to when all my wanderings were done. The thought of having nothing more than visitation rights felt like heartbreak."
- Justin Kaplan, who wrote National Book Award-winning biographies of Mark Twain and Walt Whitman, died Sunday. He was 88. "I really feel there's a vaguely religious aspect to biography," Kaplan said in an interview. "Especially with creative people, you're dealing with sort of a mystery. And you can describe the circumstances before and after some great innovation, but you can't explain or describe the moment or the time that it happens, or the way it happens." Kaplan was also an editor of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations.
- Lena Dunham is writing a four-part story for Archie Comics, to be published in 2015. "I was an avid Archie collector as a child," she said in a statement. "Conventions, first editions that l kept in plastic sleeves, the whole shebang. It has so much cultural significance but also so much personal significance, and to get to play with these beloved characters is a wild creative opportunity."

The Last Wooden Whaleship in the World
The Charles W. Morgan is the last of an American whaling fleet that numbered more than 2,700 vessels. Built and launched in 1841, the Morgan is now America's oldest commercial ship still afloat – only the USS Constitution is older.
The Morgan was launched on July 21, 1841, from the yard of Jethro and Zachariah Hillman in New Bedford, Massachusetts. She typically sailed with a crew of about 35, representing sailors from around the world. The whaleship measures 106 feet, 11 inches length on deck with her beam measuring 27 feet, 9 inches. Her main truck is 110 feet above the deck; fully-rigged, and she carries 7,134 square feet of sail. The huge try-pots used for converting blubber into whale oil are forward; below are the cramped quarters in which her officers and men lived.
Over an 80-year whaling career, the Morgan embarked on 37 voyages with most lasting three years or more. Built for durability, not speed, she roamed every corner of the globe in her pursuit of whales. She is known as a "lucky ship," having successfully navigated crushing Arctic ice, hostile natives, countless storms, Cape Horn roundings and, after she finished her whaling career, even the Hurricane of 1938.
After her whaling days ended in 1921, the Morgan was preserved by Whaling Enshrined, Inc. and exhibited at Colonel Edward H.R. Green's estate at Round Hill in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, until 1941. In November of that year, the Morgan came to Mystic Seaport Museum where she has since dominated the waterfront at Chubb's Wharf.
The whaleship was designated a National Historic Landmark by order of the Secretary of the Interior in 1966, and she is also a recipient of the coveted World Ship Trust Award. Since her arrival at Mystic Seaport Museum more than 20 million visitors have walked her decks. Where once she hunted and processed whales for profit, her purpose now is to tell an important part of our nation's maritime heritage and the lessons that history has for current generations.
Restoration, Preservation and the 38th Voyage
At Mystic Seaport Museum, the Charles W. Morgan has been given a new lease on life; however, her future vitality depends on continual preservation. A major program of restoration and preservation was begun in 1968 to repair her structurally, and during the course of this work, it was decided to restore her to the rig of a double-topsail bark, which she carried from 1867 through the end of her whaling career. She appears as she was during most of her active career.
In January 1974, after removal from her former sand and mud berth, she was hauled out on the lift dock in the Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard for inspection and hull work as needed. Her hull proved to be in remarkably good condition, with only a new false keel, shoe and some planking being required.
In November 2008, the Morgan returned to the Museum's shipyard for restoration. The project renewed areas of the vessel from the waterline down to her keel and also addressed the bow and stern. The whaleship was re-launched July 21, 2013 and left Mystic Seaport Museum May 17, 2014, to embark on her 38th Voyage to historic ports of New England. The nearly three-month journey raised awareness of America's maritime heritage and called attention to issues of ocean sustainability and conservation. The ship returned from her voyage August 6, 2014, and has resumed her role as an exhibit and the flagship of the Museum.

This week in and out of the kitchen
I haven't used my Bell LaCloche in quite sometime. It is one my favorite pieces of baking equipment and one I don't feel I wasted my money on...which I have plenty of those.
I had a single large boule of a 'Basic 100% sourdough'. The formula I used with some minor changes is from 'Northwest Sourdough's' bread site.
I pre-heated my regular oven and BLC. It baked up one lovely, crackly tasty loaf as always and didn't take as long as heating up and baking on my oven stones.
Fine looking crust
the crumb
Topped with some homemade Fig Preserves. So easy to make. Recipe below
Fig Preserves
This jam doesn't take a lot of sugar or need a pectin to thicken.
I use about 11 large figs for a pound. Makes about 2 - 8 oz. jars of thick preserves for me.
I can my preserves in a boiling water canner for 5 minutes. I'm 400 ft. about sea level.
1 lb. of organic ripe figs. I have a Black Mission Fig tree that the birds share with me.
3/4 cup of sugar - you can use a cup if you like - but I found 3/4 cup plenty sweet.
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
I also added a little grated ginger and a dash of cinnamon to taste.
I find if I slice my figs lengthwise into quarters and then dice. They cook up best. You can make larger pieces, as I did with this little batch of preserves.
If your preserves are thick. Run a knife of canning blade around the inside of the jar to release any trapped air pockets.
You can add a little water while cooking if you want a thinner jam...or need a tiny bit more to fill up a jar that's a tad bit short.
In a large stainless steel pot. Over a medium high to low heat. Just bring your mixture to a low boil and cook, stirring, don't let it burn, until you have a nice thicken jam. About 30 minutes.
Sprouted WW Flour - Maple Banana and Banana-Fig Muffins
This recipe is from Essential Eating 'Sprouted Baking' by Janie Quinn.
I did make some minor changes.
I didn't use any butter, instead I used Coconut oil.
In the second batch I also used a combination of fresh diced figs and banana's.
These muffins were delicious and were taken to a family dinner party. Everyone loved them...even the teens.
I was very happy with the texture of the muffins.
I fill the cups to the top before baking and with muffins you have to be very careful not to overmix.
I'm sorry to say the book gives only US measures.
The recipe
6 Tablespoons of melted Coconut Oil - I did not use butter
1/2 cup of organic pure maple syrup
2 large organic eggs
4 ripe mashed banana's - or a combination of mashed banana's and diced figs
1 1/4 cups of Sprouted Wheat Flour
1 cup of yellow cornmeal - I used regular cornmeal - not gluten free
2 teaspoons baking powder -
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Bake in a pre-heated 375F oven - non convection oven was used -
12 cup muffin tin lined with muffin cups
Mash your bananas/figs in a large bowl. Slightly beat 2 eggs in a small bowl. Wisk together dry ingredients. I melt my coconut oil in the microwave for just a few seconds.
Add your maple syrup, eggs, coconut oil to banana/fig mixture. Add dry ingredients to wet and gently fold until combined and still lumpy.
Ladle into muffin cups up to top of cups.
Bake until slightly browned and test done. Mine took about 20 minutes. Larger ones took a little longer. I insert a spagetti noodle and see if it comes out dry.
Cool muffins removed from muffin pan on a rack. There hot son I lifted them up gently with a knife inserted underneath to get them out of the pan.
I put a pinch of organic cane sugar on top of the fig/banana muffins for sparkle
Did I say these were very tender and satisfying as in filling too. A very nice ming of flavors all
come through. Didn't miss the butter at all. Coconut Oil..wonderful healthy stuff : )
This is my Sourdough Semolina Country Bread. I posted my formula for it on my blog not to long ago.
I never get quite the best results I like, when I bulk ferment, and shape my loaves the next day. That's what I did with this SSCB. I also added some sesame seeds. Just delicious on this bread. It was also baked in the Bell La Cloche. Turned out wonderful. But, still would have been nicer shaped and then retarded overnight and baked the next day.
Sourdough Semolina Country Bread
Here's a lovely and very delicious way to use a baguette.
Sliced thin, rolled and toasted in an oven. -----------'Correction' the chef did use the word 'baked' in the oven
It was just simply perfect along side a salad.
Tucked in the center of the rolled toasted baguette was delicious compot of filling with Peaches, ginger, lovely fruits, like dried tender juicy figs, herbs. Just an added perfect crunch and blend of flavors alongside our salads.

Letra de 'Nigga From The Hood' por Z-Ro
Too many niggas, trying to take me off of my game
Just a nigga from the hood, that's looks some good
Now they all want to to jock my fame
When I coming down in my ?born?
And I'm rolling one deep that should tell you about me
I don't give a damn about none of you hoes
I blast on sight cause I ain't tripping no more
You can't knock my hustle, ain't no games gone be played
Even haters a hundred miles away, deuce out they shades
Coming down one deep, I ain't gone stop and try to speak
I keep on rolling mean mugging as I pull on a sweet
I gave a cool package of sellers, because I knocked down yellas
Keep a 4 for myself and a 4-4 for the jealous
Cause them boys be scoping, intoxicated and hoping
That they run up on Z-Ro I leave they flesh wide open
Let them take me for what, cause I be damned if I slip
Beretta beam in the club same thang on my hip
Another case like that, if you don't think I bring that
Run on up and I'ma bust and flip your brain like crack [Chorus]
Nothing but dollars we clock, show after show we gone rock
Pimpin hoes in the five double o and baby mamas gone jock
What the f*** is the deal, somebody pass me the kill
Rubatussin and marijuana, one time and I peal
Don't let a snitch see my dope, cause the snitches gone squeel
If they play with my freedom, you know a coffin gone feel
Niggas be working with louds, I'm gone work on they jaws
Putting snitches in ditches cause I know they be talking bout
Every move that I make, that's why I be solo when I bake
Cooking up in the kitchen come up with a ounce with no flakes
Cause when I say get back, before my finger start itching
Better believe when I relieve my stress you might come up missing
I don't be kissing no ass, take a hit and dump the ash
I'ma chop on 20's with sparkling oak on my dash
I'm too low to descirbe, out the Screwed Up tribe
Read about it in the Source, Murda Dog and the Vibe [Chorus]
Remember back in 94 they use to laugh at me baby
Now it's year two triple o broads be after me baby
Can you recall when I was sparkling now I hide behind 10
Cause being in a drop with a escallade I know you want to know where I went
I got a bitch named Lucy, for me she sell her coochie
Finest in the vagina for lunch when I feel like sushi
See it to the day we fall, we ball out of control
Everyday at my low key location hoes fall out of they clothes
Range Rovers and Hummers, 45 glock gunner
Plus I'm a pen pimping veteran, smelling plex among new comers
How you love a platinum plack it means I'm already gold
It ain't no joke I'm in the scope, five hundred thousand already sold
I'm throwed off in the mind, mic and producer and booms no ?reap? in the wine
Smoke to relax my mind, radio songs go lemon lime
F*** a neuse a niggas might go thet there to the po po why pop it
Giving out my phone number on the daily cause it won't hurt my pocket
[Z-Ro: outro]
Man, what's the god damn deal, Southside, Northside, Eastside, Westside
It's your boy Z-Ro, knocking down the door in year two triple o
S.U.C. for life, screw you, it's for you baby
Heavy Weighters, my nigga Toon, R-O, Big M-O-E
Z to the Ro, Geurilla Maab affilliated, know what I'm saying
Putting it down, new millenium it's ours, get that baby

Cross Country Improve Times at Commodore Classic
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tigerbelles and Tigers returned to Vaughn's Gap for their second meet in three weeks as part of the Commodore Invitational on Saturday morning. For the second consecutive week the Tigerbelles put a dent into their season best times as six of the seven members runners improved their 5K times. Freshman LaToya Harze missed her season best by 16 seconds, but better her time week one time on the same course by 4:29.
Oteia Prince posted a TSU best time of 20:33.63 and was followed by Breanna Adams (22:35.44), Michelle Bradley (22:36.62), Diera Taylor (23:14.42) and Jasmine Owens (23:24.89). Ashontae Jackson (24:55.56) and Harze (27:58.87) ran non-scoring times, while India Smith withdrew half way through the race due to a day-to-day injury.
The Tigers competed in an 8K for the first time this season and was led by Quamel Prince in a time of 28:44.27. Adrian McDaniels was the second to cross the line at 29:58.96 and was joined in the scoring by Jahleel Michael (33:24.32), Theodore Nicholson (34:40.51) and Jason Griffin (35:53.65).

About Color
Colorful filaments can help you realize your ideas.
We have defined and chosen a large set of colors suitable for 3D printing. In the mean time, the color of the material keep strictly consistent.
The Difference Between the PLA and ABS
When printing PLA smell of cotton candy smell ( odor sensitive to this cautious buying ) , unlike the ABS as the pungent smell bad child .
PLA can print large part model in the case without heating the bed corners will not tilt.
PLA having a low shrinkage , even when printing a large size model also performed well
PLA has a low melt strength , easier shaping print model , excellent surface gloss , colorful.
Differences between the PLA and ABS :
Crystalline PLA , ABS is a non- crystalline .
When heated slowly converted gel liquid ABS : without state change.
PLA as frozen water on the other hand , directly from the solid to the liquid in one step .
ABS ( not required phase change ) become more liquidity to further fill the barrel.
Because there is no phase transition , ABS does not suck nozzle heat.
Part of the PLA, the risk of phase change cooling nozzle , so that the risk of greater blockage .
The main advantage of polylactic acid has the following aspects :
( 1 ) polylactic acid (PLA) is a novel biodegradable material, a plant resources ( such as corn ) proposed the use of renewable raw starch .
( 2 ) good mechanical properties and physical properties. Polylactic acid suitable for blow molding, thermoplastic and other processing methods , processing convenience , is widely used.
( 3 ) compatibility with biodegradable good. Polylactic acid in the field of medicine is also widely used , such as to produce a one-time infusion equipment, free split -type surgical sutures and other low molecular weight polylactic acid packaging for drug delivery agents .
( 4 ) polylactic acid (PLA) biodegradable plastics in addition to the basic features , but also has its own unique characteristics. Traditional biodegradable plastic strength, transparency and resistance to climate change are not as good as ordinary plastic .
( 5 ) similar basic physical properties of polylactic acid (PLA) plastics and petrochemical synthesis , that is, it can be widely used to manufacture a variety of applications. Polylactic acid also has good gloss and transparency , and the use of polystyrene film is quite prepared , other biodegradable products are not available .
( 6 ) Polylactic acid (PLA) has good tensile strength and the elongation , the polylactic acid can produce a variety of common processing methods , for example: melt extrusion molding , injection molding, blown film molding, foam molding and vacuum forming , the polymers are widely used at present have similar forming conditions , in addition it is also the same as a conventional film printing performance .
( 7 ) The polylactic acid (PLA) film has good air permeability, permeability and oxygen permeability of the two carbon dioxide , it also has the isolation characteristic odor . Viruses and molds attached easily biodegradable plastic surface , the safety and health concerns , however, the polylactic acid having excellent antibacterial unique biological and anti-mold properties of biodegradable plastics .
( 8 ) When the incineration of polylactic acid (PLA) , its heat of combustion and incineration same paper is incinerated half of traditional plastic ( eg polyethylene ) , and the incineration of polylactic acid will not release nitrides, sulfides and other toxic gases.
How to determine the material is PLA or ABS?
A: On the surface it is difficult to judge, comparative observation was matt ABS , and PLA is very bright . Was heated to 195 degrees , PLA extruded smoothly , ABS can not. Heated to 240 degrees , ABS can smooth out , PLA muster bubbles appear , and even carbonation, carbonation will block the nozzle , very dangerous

Having a new puppy in the house is pretty much identical to having a new baby. He naps every couple of hours and when he wakes up he's hungry. He doesn't sleep through the night, he pees all over the place, puts everything in his mouth, and cries the minute he's alone. The only difference is, I didn't give birth to Monty, which makes it much easier to take care of him because I'm not exhausted, hormonal, or recovering from thirty six hours of labor.
This is not to say having a puppy is easy. Yes, he's insanely cute, and the times when he cuddles and licks my face are pure joy. But training a pup to become a model citizen is a monumental task. Especially that housebreaking part. Not that I don't love wiping up dog pee fifteen times a day. It just makes it hard to get anything else done with all that wiping going on.
Having been down this wee-wee pad road with our last dog before, we decided to try a different tack this time around. I checked out all the different housetraining tools out there, but wasn't sold on any one program. And then one day while I was visiting a friend's house, I suddenly heard what sounded like Jingle Bells ringing.
"Isn't it a little late for Santa's sleigh?" I asked.
"That's Buster," she laughed, referring to her Labradoodle. "He's telling me he has to go out."
I followed her to the back door where we found Buster sitting patiently. Tied to the door handle was a rope with bells attached to it.
"Are you telling me Buster rang the bells to let you know he had to go out?"
She grinned triumphantly. "Yup."
As if on cue, Buster lifted a paw and swatted the bells to make them chime.
I shook my head in wonder. "If you could train him to pick up your dry cleaning too, your life would be perfect."
Although I loved the idea of Monty having a way to tell me when he needed to go out, I thought that bells hanging from the back door and ringing every time someone opened and closed the door would drive me crazy. So I did some more research and found another kind of bell that sat on the floor. It looked like a bell you would find on a hotel desk but with a dog paw-sized button on top to make it ring.
It looked perfect, so I bought one.
For a week we brought the dog to the bell every time we thought he had to go, and then helped him hit the bell with his paw before we took him outside.
"This is crazy," said my husband one night as we went through the routine. "The dog is not going to make the association between hitting the bell and needing to go outside."
"I don't know," I argued. "It worked for Pavlov!"
I also had my doubts that the puppy would get the point. But then one day, the dog walked over to the bell by himself, sat down, and studied it.
"Look," I announced. "He's doing it. He's doing it!"
He contemplated the bell for another moment, and then lifted up his paw, and rang the bell.
Then he peed on the floor.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home redirect a government-funded space laser into Professor Hathaway's house, filling it to the top level with delicious buttered popcorn. LET'S GO!
THE GORILLA WHISPERER – 8:00PM (Animal Planet) World Wildlife Fund researcher Angelique Todd spends some time hanging out with silverback gorillas in Central Africa. The secret to good gorilla whispering, of course, is to promise them lots and lots of bananas. But don't offer them tickets to the new "Planet of the Apes" movie. I'm told the silverbacks found the movie extremely ape-ist. ANTICIPATION: MONKEYS!
KATIE: MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS – 10:00PM (OWN) Former UK model Katie Piper was terribly disfigured three years ago in an acid attack perpetrated by her ex-boyfriend and an accomplice, and now she has her own show on Oprah's network, going around and mentoring people facing similar physical challenges. Piper's two assailants now sit in jail, and really, don't they deserve MORE than jail? I mean... an acid attack? Really? Don't you deserve to be fed to sharks for that? I feel like that's the just thing to do. ANTICIPATION: POIGNANT!
REAL SPORTS WITH BRYANT GUMBEL – 10:00PM (HBO) New York Jets wideout Plaxico Burress sits down for his first interview since being released from prison on a gun charge that nearly ruined his career. Plaxico learned his lesson from the ordeal, and that lesson would be "Do not bring a gun to a nightclub and then accidentally shoot yourself with that gun." ANTICIPATION: PLAXY!
CHOPPED – 10:00PM (Food Network) If I see one more contestant make a gastrique, there's no telling what I'll do. ANTICIPATION: KNOCK IT OFF!
BILLY THE EXTERMINATOR – 10:00PM (A&E) Billy's gotta take out some geese. When I was a kid, we had geese outside our house sometimes, and it was my job to run out into the yard scaring the geese off. It's a great job for a kid, because you get to spazz out like an idiot and the geese run away in fear. I wish this trick worked at the DMV, but personal experience has proven this is not the case. ANTICIPATION: HONK HONK!

Hovnanian receives continued listing standard notice from NYSE
Hovnanian Enterprises announced that it received written notification from the New York Stock Exchange that Hovnanian is not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE's Listed Company Manual because Hovnanian's average global market capitalization was less than $50M over a consecutive 30 trading-day period and its most recently reported stockholders' equity was also less than $50M. As set forth in the Notice, as of July 11, 2019, Hovnanian's 30 trading-day average global market capitalization was approximately $49.5M. In accordance with the NYSE rules, the company intends to notify the NYSE within 10 business days of receipt of the Notice that it intends to submit a plan within 45 days from receipt of the Notice advising the NYSE of definitive action the company has taken, or is taking, which would bring the company into conformity with the NYSE's continued listed standards within 18 months of receipt of the Notice. The NYSE will review the Plan and, within 45 days of its receipt, determine whether the company has made a reasonable demonstration of an ability to come into conformity with Section 802.01B in the 18-month cure period. If the NYSE accepts the Plan, Hovnanian's Class A common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the 18-month cure period, subject to the company's compliance with other continued listing standards, and the company will be subject to quarterly monitoring by the NYSE for compliance with the Plan.

Exxon Mobil (XOM) resumed drilling in Guyana in June, underscoring its dedication to the area despite the oil price crash and a messy turn in local politics, Bloomberg's Peter Millard and Kevin Crowley report. Two of Exxon's four drillships went back to work, according to data published Friday by Baker Hughes (BKR). The company later confirmed that the Stena Carron and Noble Tom Madden vessels returned to full operations last month.

Boeing is scrambling to gather financing for the 737 MAX as it awaits regulatory clearance for design changes after the aircraft was grounded following two deadly crashes, Reuters' Tracy Rucinski and Tim Hepher report, citing industry sources. Boeing is seeking to resume deliveries once regulators say it is safe and airlines agree on training, but confidence in the 737 MAX has been harmed by the grounding, making the financing required to ensure smooth deliveries scarce and compounding a lack in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors note. "Nobody wants to take new aircraft and this is particularly true for the MAX right now," a senior aviation financier said, according to Reuters. Reference Link

Harte Hanks announced the company was notified by the NYSE on July 9 that the NYSE had determined to commence proceedings to delist the company's common stock as a result of the company's failure to comply with the continued listing standard to maintain either (i) at least $50M in stockholders' equity or (ii) at least $50M in total market capitalization on a 30-trading day average basis. While the company has the ability to appeal the decision by the NYSE, Harte Hanks' board has determined that it is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders to immediately begin trading on the OTCQX Best Market. The company will remain subject to the public reporting requirements of the SEC following the transfer to the OTCQX and expects the common stock will trade under the symbol "HRTE". The transition to the over-the-counter markets will not affect the company's business operations.

For my own personal amusement... I'm not sure why, but this feels appropriate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferiority_complexAn inferiority complex is a lack of self-worth, a doubt and uncertainty, and feelings of not measuring up to standards. It is often subconscious, and is thought to drive afflicted individuals to overcompensate, resulting either in spectacular achievement or extreme asocial behavior. In modern literature, the preferred terminology is "lack of covert self-esteem".[1] For many, it is developed through a combination of genetic personality characteristics and personal experiences.

Rep says he was assaulted by TSA and then punished for complaining
Steve Watson
April 25, 2012
A US Congressman has claimed that he was assaulted during a TSA patdown and was then targeted for future patdowns by the TSA after complaining about the incident.
Texas Rep. Francisco Canseco says he was inappropriately touched in private areas during a run in with the TSA earlier this month at San Antonio International Airport.
"The agent was very aggressive in his pat-down, and he was patting me down where no one is supposed to go," Canseco, who describes himself as a "limited-government conservative", told KENS 5 news.
"It got very uncomfortable so I moved his hand away. That stopped everything and brought in supervisors and everyone else." Canseco added.
When the Congressman said he'd been assaulted, the TSA agent claimed that Canseco had actually assaulted him. The TSA says that neither man was cited in the incident.
One week later Canseco was again singled out by the TSA in the same airport and selected for a pat-down.
"I did not see it as a coincidence," he said. "I asked them why are you going to pat me down again, so we discussed it further and after discussing it further, they patted me down."
When Canseco refused to allow the agent to touch his private areas a second time, police officers were called to the scene.
The TSA released the following generic statement regarding the incident:
"TSA incorporates random and unpredictable security measures throughout the airport. Once a passenger enters the screening process, they must complete it prior to continuing to a flight or secure area."
Canseco said his experience illustrated changes in the airport security are needed."
"It is very important that Americans feel safe and secure as they travel in our nation's airways – safe and secure from acts of terrorism and all that. But, I also think that TSA sometimes gets too aggressive, and it's not just about me. It's about every American that goes through those TSA scanners."
KENS 5 news has requested the security footage from both incidents and the TSA is reviewing the request.
The TSA has a history of bearing grudges against commuters who issue complaints against the agency. A mother who was detained in a glass cell by TSA agents in Phoenix in 2010 said the incident was retribution for a previous complaint regarding confiscation of her breast milk.
Last year several Texas State Officials reported that they were subjected to forceful patdowns from TSA agents after they opted out of walking through irradiating body scanners. According to the officials, TSA agents admitted that the overly forceful patdowns were being used as a "form of punishment".
Yesterday we reported on an incident where a TSA agent scrawled "Go to hell" on a complaint form after a commuter requested an explanation for why his luggage had been tampered with.

It's been a while hasn't it… no not so much since I posted, but yes I have been enjoying my holidays, my time with Odin, my new house and…
Well, that's what I'm trying to say, it's been a while since Gnomeaggedon got more than a mailbox check.
Squidly's sick of random dungeons, because doing the same instance time and again doesn't feel all that random. He's also run afoul of GearScore and Achievement linking… people on Twitter got to hear me howl about that, but that can wait for another day.
Gnomeaggedon Frost Nova'd and Polymorph: Turtle'd Squidly to get a bit of play time. Something a little bit less about you (or them) and much more about me.
See that's the thing about healing, ultimately it's all about them…
- Keep the tank alive – he'll save you but = them
- Keep the DPS alive – they'll turn the DPS meters red with blood = them
- Loot drops and someone Ninja's it = them (admittedly not as bad as Dechion's experiences, expounded upon by the BigBearaggedon (no… not yet… but soon… sooon Mmmmwwwwhhhhhaaaahahhahaha! Make sure you read BBB's last comment it realy sums up these fucksticks, forum trolls and bullies in general, as well as the true thoughts of higher beings like us)
- Loot drops for Squidly that's an upgrade & he's called a Ninja = them (yes another holiday adventure story for another time)
Time out for me, Me, ME I TELL YOU!
After Squidly started sporting nice new Triumph clothes and couldn't remember why he was in Wintergrasp and the other battlegrounds any more (stupid f'n you can't queue for more than one activity!), Gnomeaggedon reared his little green head and said…
Please Sir, can I have some more.. emblems… and FUN!
Queue Wintergrasp… Queue Random… hell, just Queue!
Gnomeaggedon had to go and buy some more faction mounts, because doing laps around Dalaran waiting for Queues to pop was wearing his Green Mechanostrider out.. bored.. bored… bored…
Don't get me wrong, when the queue pops, and admittedly Wintergrasp often beats the random dungeon, I have a blast… A Fire Blast of course.
It had been so long since I played Gnomeaggedon I had forgotten that I crafted a crappy PvP set and dropped my Arcane offspec for a Fire PvP spec.
OFMG! Talk about things dropping fast!
Yeah.. it's me dropping fast… but those 15 seconds between 30 second Spirit Rezs are some of the most exciting I have experienced in a while.
Occasionally, OK rarely, I manage to get the killing blow, I manage to pump everything I have into my opponent in the shortest period of time known to Gnomes.
Of course it's rare that I find an AFK'er in Wintergrasp, but when I do, I take full advantage of it.
Things drop slow sometimes too.
My favorite way to start WG now is to join the queue, then pop through the WG portal (because Alliance hold WG 19 out of 20 times), then mount up, fly up high into the sky and… wait….
When the battle begins I get a couple of warnings which I happily ignore, because I know what's coming next…
Gnomeston, we have a problem!
It's the age old Gnomeaggedon problem.
Gnomeaggedon loves PvE, but he also LOVES PvP.
When the random dungeon queue fiiiiiinnnnnaaaalllly pops, Gnomeaggedon is sooo excited he just literally burns up!
It's like PvP but the Mobs don't target him, they target the thick skinned one in the group!
He has an OrGnomeasm in the 1st 20 seconds… Living Bomb, Fire Blast, Flame Strike.. Whoo Hooo Instant Pyroblast, Blizzard.. he, why am I dead?
The party finish the fight then start asking what happened… I shrug, thank for the Rez and charge at the next bunch of Mobs…
Living Bomb, Fire Blast, Flame Strike.. Whoo Hooo Instant Pyroblast, Blizzard.. he, why am I dead?
Mmmm maybe I better settle down…
What's a Gnome to do?
Oh yeah, that's what I started writing about before messing another pair of Megan's panties just thinking about PvP Fire…
What the hell is a Gnome to do when he is bored, Bored, BORED as hell waiting for a queue to pop?
What's the one thing slightly less boring than waiting for paint to dry… err I mean a queue to pop for a solo DPS?
I'm questing… with a dose of exploring on the side.
That's not boring, it's good money too!
Yeah, so you say… but I'm not talking 13 gold Northrend Quests, I'm talking 13 copper Azeroth quests
I got so bored, that I decided to try and complete the Loremaster Achievement, as well as the Dora the Explorer achievement (if I'm traipsing mindlessly around Azeroth, why not?).
Gnomeaggedon did most of his leveling in 5 man instances with mates, so both Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimador where sitting at about 400/700 quests. I have been going hard at it though, so Kalimador is now up to 408/700… Eastern Kingdoms is sitting at about 662/700. I have also explored 6 zones in the Eastern Kingdoms.
I know this is the stage that people start to sweat… where am I going to find the last 38 quests to knock this one over…
Not me.. I've got hundreds of quests left to do!
How do you know?
Ahh glad you asked, because that's really what this post is all about.
Azeroth Technology at it's finest.
I went looking for an addon before banging my head repeatedly on my desk.. I knew it would be a questing addon, and since I have abandoned my use of QuestHelper and Carbonite, and QuestGuru likes to tease me by failing at important moments (like when I want to read the quest text), I wanted to find something else… what would it be called?
EveryQuest.. obvious really and it stood out when I was looking through the addons… ohh but wait, what's this…
Loremaster… OK, stab in the dark.. this one is related to the achievement.
OK, rundown in 30 words or less (lol)
Everyquest is a list of Everyquest
Loremaster indicates the likelihood that a quest will give you credit for the Loremaster achievement.
Everyquest also allows you to sync your QuestGuru or QuestHelper history, or of course download the history from Blizzard.
Yeah that's what I say all the time.. but in this case I mean for this post… I expect it's taken you both tea breaks and you lunch time to read it… you must be starving… sorry…
Don't sweat, you have a few days to read it before I try and generate a posting schedule again.. I'm back to work on Monday, so last chance to hit the sunny beaches of Victoria, which is much more pleasant that mowing the lawn for 2 hours and 40 minutes in the HEAT!
Right, sorry about that, my skin is redder than my hair right now…
Hope you all had a great "holiday".. bahh call it what it is… Christmas and New year.
Think of me while you shovel your way to the font door, wishing you didn't leave the window open last night, knowing you still have to shovel your way to the car, then shovel the car out, then shovel you way to the office door, the repeat it all on the way home.
Gnomer and Out of here!
We're all going on a summer holiday… I just wanted the song, but instead you get an entire episode of The Young Ones… in 4 parts… looks like tomorrow's lunch and tea breaks are taken care of…

When it comes to viewing and editing Microsoft Office products on your iPhone/iPod Touch (primarily Word and Excel), there are essentially two apps that lead the way: QuickOffice and Documents to Go. Each have their own strengths and a user base that prefer one over the other. If you're a heavy PowerPoint user however, choosing DataViz's Office suite just got easier. With the latest 3.0 update of Documents to Go Premium, users can now even create/edit PowerPoint slides right on their trusty iDevices. For road warriors who do their share of presentations, this new ability could prove invaluable indeed. Another great new feature found in this update is the added support for Gmail attachments. That's right, you can now edit/view files directly from your Gmail account. For those who don't require PowerPoint, check out DocsToGo, which has less features but a more affordable price tag ($9.99). Complete app details after the break.

Zynga Game Network Inc. v. Williams, 2010 WL 2077191 (N.D.Cal. May 20, 2010)
Zynga (you know, the creator of Farmville and Mafia Wars) has filed a federal lawsuit against the operators of websites that sell virtual currency and goods for use in Mafia Wars. These websites allegedly give rise to infringement of the Mafia Wars trademark and the sale of these virtual things is in violation of the game's terms of service.
In federal court, you can't start the discovery process until the parties have met to discuss certain issues (this is called a Rule 26(f) conference). But there's an obvious chicken and egg problem in cases like this that have anonymous defendants — how do you confer with a defendant you don't know? You're kind of stuck if you can't take discovery to learn who he is.
Fortunately the court can allow discovery to happen before the Rule 26(f) conference when there is good cause.
So Zynga has argued that there is good cause to allow it to serve subpoenas on Godaddy (the registrant for the MAFIAWARSDIRECT.COM, MWBLACKMARKET.COM, and MWFEXPRESS.COM domain names) and PayPal, who apparently facilitated the purchase of virtual goods.
The court agreed that Zynga should get to serve the subpoenas. But it found that the subpoenas as proposed were too broad. For example, Zynga sought all billing and account records, server logs, website content, contact information, transaction histories and correspondence for the persons or entities that purchased services from the offending sites. The court held that the limited discovery appropriate for Zynga at the early stage would only allow it to get identifying information for the site owners.

Hi John,
Looks like you have made a lot of progress in your research of your Edmonton family line as well as the Livingstons in Scotland.
Have you thought about creating a family tree wall chart of your Livingston and other families you are kin to? Great to have on display for visiting relatives and looks very cool.
As mentioned in my post prior to yours, a fourth Livingston of Morvern Livingston Origin was tested and the update to that message is that Stephen Livingston whose family was residing at Achabegg, Morvern in the 1840's before coming to American in 1851 and his earlier ancestor was a brother of Donald Livingston 1728-1816 of Savary, Morvern, was tested and found to be a close match as suspected with the three other Morvern LIvingstons tested and matching with our Parker Livingston Group. So we know have four Livingstons with ancestors of Morvern origin, one of neighbouring Ardnamurchan ancestry, a good number with documented Mull ancestry and others with likely Argyllshire ancestry as well. Two or three with documented Perthshire ancestry but matching with the Parker Livingstons of Argyllshire origin and given that Perthshire in in the highlands and near Argyllshire it seems likely their Perthshire ancestors migrated to neighbouring Perthshire in the 1700's and originally lived in Western Argyllshire from Mull, Morvern, Ardnamurchan or one of the other Parishes in Western Argyllshire. What I find encouraging is the original and more recent participants with documented or suspected Western Argyllshire with documented connections with Mull and Morvern virtually all of them except one in the last 10 years matched with the Parker Livingston group. I can now tell you that with one descendant of the famous Savary, Morvern Jacobite Donald Livingston's brother tested it looks like Donald Livingston and his Achnacree Maconlea and Morvern Maconlea/Livingstone family line is connected to our Morvern and Mull dominated Parker Livingston Group. There is also maybe a chance that another Livingston of Savary, Morvern ancestry a direct descendant of Donald Livingstone 1728-1816 may be interested in the Maclea Livingstone DNA Project. I will let you know if that is the case. I know from talking to participants that the Livingston matches showing up on each participants list varies depending on the matches but I think there are now over 20 Livingstons who have done the 67 marker test including one who has done the 37 marker test with the Parker Livingston Group. Also others of other families matching with these Livingstons to some degree.

Due in part to its willingness to entrust leadership positions to young men and women, between 1776 and 1820, the Methodists grew from a sect of around 11,000 members to become the largest Christian body in America.
Dr. John Ellis, assistant professor of history at Bemidji State University, will examine why Methodism pursued a reform-minded counterculture, the nature of intergenerational change, and explore what lessons might be learned from a 19th-century youth movement as part of the university's Honors Council Lecture Series.
• A video preview of the lecture is available on Vimeo.
• Ellis' presentation is available on Slideshare.
Census and church records available from that early period in American history show that both the average American and the average new Methodist converts were about 20 years old. The church offered youth a forum to question the authority of their elders, challenge age-based hierarchies and advocate for an ideology that dovetailed with the ideals originating from the American Revolution.
"The Methodists disrupted generational authority, intensifying intergenerational conflicts inherent in a young population experiencing seismic social, political and economic shifts," Ellis said. "Within two generations after the American Revolution, traditional values of social cohesion crumbled as a new nation increasingly valued individual choice, self-interest and self-initiative."
Ellis's research focus on Native Americans, African Americans and religion with an emphasis on Methodism, which was the subject of his dissertation. He is a frequent presenter at history conferences and has submitted a book manuscript for review. He has a bachelor's degree from Heidelberg University, a master's from Bowling Green State University and a doctorate in early American history from Purdue University.
Lecture information
Dr. John Ellis, assistant professor of history at Bemidji State University, presents "Great Men Are Not Always Wise, Neither Do the Aged Understand Judgment: Intergenerational Conflict in Post-Revolutionary America" as part of BSU's Honors Council Lecture Series. The lecture will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, in Hagg-Sauer Hall 112 on the BSU campus. Honors Council Lectures are open to the public free of charge.
The Honors Council Lecture Series is hosted by the Bemidji State University Honors Council. The council is the advisory group to the honors program comprised of 12 faculty members from each of the University's colleges. Student representatives are also elected to the council by their cohorts for one-year terms.

End Your Addiction. Get Help Today.
Choosing an alcohol or drug rehab program is one of the most important and difficult decisions you will ever have to make. Each program has its own treatment options, staff qualifications, credentials, cost, and effectiveness. It's hard enough dealing with addiction, let us find a rehabilitation program to fit your needs.
Before you make your decision, come to rehab programs for expert advice and guidance. Also, the rehab that is located closest to you is not always the best decision. In fact we highly recommend getting out of your everyday environment while you undergo treatment. It has been proven that people are much less likely to leave earlier, or even quit when they have traveled outside of their community.
It's time to get help. Start with acceptance.
People all over the world are plagued by addiction. Lawyers, Doctors, Businesses Owners, Homeless, Jobless & Hopeless People; we all have people close to us, or maybe even ourselves that struggle to overcome the death grip of addiction. Take the first step to get on the path of recovery. Rehab-Programs.org can help you take that first step and get you the guidance you need.
Freedom from Substance Abuse & Alcoholism
Alcoholism is not the same as alcohol abuse. Both are problematic and need to be addressed, but alcoholism occurs when a person shows signs of a physical addiction (i.e. high tolerance, withdrawal, etc) and continues to drink, even though the drinking has caused obvious problems with their physical & mental health. An alcoholics family can suffer for their choices, sometimes the person needs their family to come forward, sometimes alcohol dominates the persons life so much that they can't even maintain a relationship. If any of this is hitting home for you or a loved one, you need to call us immediately. Don't wait another second; it could be the last.
Alcohol abuse is a little bit different, but just as serious. Abuse is generally the road to alcoholism; a person will start out maybe with a few drinks on the weekend, then a few more, and more and more. Eventually, a line needs to be drawn and you or your family has two choices:
- Stop drinking completely without a treatment program and hope it works.
- Turn yourself over to a treatment center and get real help.
It's your choice. No one can do it for you. You need to make a clear, concise, decision to devote yourself to recovery. After all, addiction is a disease.
Alcohol Abuse & Alcoholism Risk Factors:
- Men and Women who drink more than 12 drinks a week
- People who drink more than 3 drinks a day
- Binge drinkers
- People who are easily peer pressured
- People with mental illnesses
- People who live in areas where there is a high social acceptance for alcohol abuse
- People with depression or anxiety
- People with low self esteem
Substance Abuse Addictions Plague the World
It's sad to see the amount of people who are put in a stranglehold by this thing we call addiction. When recreational drug use takes the turn down that dark road, we are here to help. Drug dependance is basically a fancy way of saying that the person needs the substance to function normally; it can be something as acceptable as Marijuana or as hard as Heroin. Both are serious and need to be addressed. Despite the negative affects and uncontrolled industry, drug use runs rampant everywhere from college campus' to Wall Street.
Do you have a Physical Addiction to Drugs?
When you or a loved one have become physically addicted to a drug then you need to get help. The first step would be a detoxification program that purges your body safely of the toxins. The second step is to transition into a treatment center's program that will teach you how to deal with and accept your addiction.
Treatment Centers & Rehab Programs
The only way to take care of a disease is to treat it. That's exactly what has to be done when the road runs out. Treatment for drug abuse and alcoholism always begin with acceptance of the disease and recognition of a problem. If you decide to go to a rehab program then you should expect to be treated with dignity, empathy and respect. Most folks who are the counselors at treatment centers are also addicts themselves.
Physical Addiction Treatment
Treatment of dependency often times requires the use of professional administered medications to either gradually or immediately detox the body of the problematic drug. People with serious physical addiction will need to go to a detox center for a period of 5 to 7 days to cleanse their body. Withdrawal without proper medical attention can result in serious injury or even death. Just like every other aspect of medicine, the least intensive form of treatment should come first- in this case it is detoxification.
The Mental Aspect of Treatment
Residential treatment centers will have rehab programs in place to deal with the mental symptoms of addiction. When properly addressed, conditions can be successfully treated with stunning results. These types of behavior modifications can result in a happy, healthy and fulfilled life.
Treatment programs include counseling for both genders, the monitoring of possible withdrawal symptoms and behaviors, group therapy, family therapy, individualized psychological sessions and much more. Every program is aimed at getting the individual to accept their behavior and make a decision to change it. Don't worry though, you will most certainly have the peer support of others who are trying to do the same thing you are.
The Next Step: Take Action!
Your next step in the long journey we call life is to address the wounds that addiction has caused and begin to mend the relationships you have tarnished. The way to do that is to pick up the phone and give us a call, 1.866.501.3366 of if you don't feel like speaking with someone right now, you can always contact us using our secure and private contact form. Don't wait another second, get your life back.
