International Impediments: A Counterterrorism Strategy Study
Kyle Mark Amonson
Modern terrorism is a phenomenon that is global in range, constant in presence, and inevitably involves the commission of crime. It is politically motivated, involving violence, or the threat of violence in which the pursuit of publicity plays a significant role. Any national or international mechanism to counter it must be predicated on this understanding (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 220).
To recognize the shift in the challenges of the 21st century, we must recognize that the international community is now marked by a manifesto of globalization. In this modern environment, without cooperation, states may fail to learn of impending attacks as terrorists plot against them from foreign lands, or they may watch as terrorist suspects remain free because of lack of extradition agreements or sharing of evidence (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 279). The international community is opposed by the transnational threat of extremist networks who are increasingly innovative in their capacity to cause chaos worldwide. In this environment, international cooperation is required for effective counterterrorism strategy.
International cooperation is beneficial through the implementation of three primary objectives:
- Enhance law enforcement efforts by providing a common legal framework, aid in the apprehension of terrorists worldwide, and prosecute suspected terrorists.
- Lead international cooperative efforts to stanch the flow of terrorist financing.
- Overcome "free-riding" by coordinated interstate cooperation in intelligence gathering and synthesis, and by synchronizing states' individual tactical responses to terrorism. (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 280).
This paper will assess international counterterrorism policy efforts, describe impediments to international cooperation against terrorism and evaluate methods in which these impediments can be overcome. This paper will focus on the need to internationally define the threat of terrorism, the enforcement of sanctions and mandates, interagency operations, intelligence sharing, and conclude with an analysis of strategy application.
Defining the Threat
"Despite decades of trying, the UN has yet to agree on a common definition of terrorism. States can then pick and choose which terrorist groups or state sponsors they will act against and which they will not" (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 277).
The aphorism that "terrorists might be praised as freedom fighters in one context…and denounced as terrorists in another" demonstrates the challenge across the international community to agree on a shared definition of, not only terrorism, but who are the terrorists (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 74). Without a definition and specified identification of a threat, the international community cannot begin to solve the issue of terrorism. To create solutions that effectively counter terrorism, we must define the problem in the context of the 21st century and analyze the motives, structure, and general environment that promote and facilitate terrorism. Additionally, international collaboration and cooperation must be underpinned by a legal framework to support operations and law enforcement. States and international organizations cannot establish effective legal authority if they are unable to clearly define their threat and purpose.
Zachary Shirkey, international relations author, states that "it is not at all clear how the UN can impose legal constraints on terrorist activity if it cannot even agree on what it is trying to make illegal or that all terrorist activity is inherently wrong." He identifies that the failure of this necessary first step in countering terrorism is because each and every state wants to establish international cooperation in the effort to pursue their own personal interests rather than the common good (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 281). This concept is demonstrated in Iran's rejection of Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist groups.
For this reason, international organizations have been plagued by the inability to define terrorism since they began to address terrorism as a threat. Additionally, if an international organization disregards opposition and defines an entity as a terrorist organization, the state opposing the definition will simply delegitimize the efforts of the organization or coalition. The UN has attempted to lead the international community in counterterrorism efforts through several approaches. Starting with Resolution 1267 (1999) and 1373 (2001), the UN created the 1273 Committee and Counter-Terrorism Committee respectively. Additionally, in 2006, the UN overhauled their counterterrorism policy and published a consolidated counterterrorism strategy (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 278). However, without the ability to establish official definitions for international terrorist threats, they cannot promote an actual international effort against terrorism. Currently, aside from Al-Qaeda, the UN does not promote the pursuit of any other terrorist organizations or networks.
The "one man's freedom fighter" conundrum has resulted in the complete inability of larger international organizations to effectively conduct counterterrorism operations. For this reason, to overcome the challenge of defining the threat, states must engage in bilateral or multilateral cooperation with states that share their national objectives and counterterrorism strategy. Domestically, states are unable to engage in this cooperation if they do not first define and prioritize their own definition of terrorism with corresponding organizations.
Enforcing Mandates
The critical issue in establishing international counterterrorism law and enforcing mandates at the cooperative international level is whether the laws are actually effective, or merely just rhetoric that promotes the spirit of the law. As discussed in the previous section, merely applying law without a common definition is only the beginning to a multitude of additional other problems when pursuing international agreements for the cooperative application of terrorism law.
The UN contains the International Court of Justice (ICJ), International Criminal Court (ICC) and Interpol, yet they lack the ability to prosecute and convict terrorists. The International Court of Justice can only prosecute states, which is not applicable in the realm of modern counterterrorism, outside of blatant state sponsored terrorism. Additionally, if the ICJ did prosecute an organization such as Daesh, it would cause more harm than good by further legitimizing Daesh through an adjudicative process that is designed for states. While this idea may seem outlandish, the UN is the same organization that granted the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) "observer" status, equivalent to many actual states in the 1970's (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 283). In regard to the ICJ, it is entirely ineffective in the pursuit of counterterrorism against the modern terrorist threat.
Resolution 1267 identified Al Qaeda and the Taliban as terrorist organizations, and ruled any state providing them safe haven as violating international law. However, as trends in modern terrorism demonstrate, terrorist networks are always evolving and changing. What was Al Qaeda one year was Jama'at al-Tawhi wa'al-Jihad (JTWJ) the next, Al Qaeda Iraq (AQI) immediately following, and the Islamic State (IS), Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) the next. In a world where an organization like Al Qaeda now has a small core with multiple affiliates, the ability to enforce laws against these terrorists must be responsive to the threat, and not dictated by the semantics of naming conventions.
Another challenge at the UN is that the ICC is not capable of prosecuting terrorists. The US is not a member of the ICC and does not support its ability to prosecute terrorists fearing that "it would not only be ineffective but would reduce states' legal abilities to prosecute terrorists themselves" (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 284). This demonstrates several very important characteristics about the international community's trust in overarching international organization coordination. First is that many states do not trust or believe that international organizations can be effective in countering terrorism. Second is that without the support of the US, the legitimacy of any counterterrorism effort is decreased. Third is that because of the lack of support in international efforts, which have demonstrated ineffectiveness, states often would rather take the application of law and prosecution into their own hands. While this is less effective in the fact that operating unilaterally does not share cost or responsibility, it enables states to pursue objectives in line with their own national interests, even if it means doing it themselves. An example of this is the inability of the ICC to pursue Bosnian – Serb war criminals, with the Serb courts eventually conducting trials themselves, having lost faith in international cooperation (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 284).
As far as Interpol is concerned, it has no capabilities to prosecute terrorists or enforce mandates and should instead be regarded as an asset to cooperate in the matrix of international intelligence sharing efforts. Interpol has four main functions: to be a central exchange for police queries; to serve as a library of information for common problems; to promote universal standards and norms; and to provide a forum for meetings (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 284). Lastly, since the UN either cannot, or is ineffective, at enforcing mandates or laws against terrorist organizations, this once again pushes the responsibilities to regional international organizations and individual countries. While international organizations may benefit from the unity of efforts in the application of international law against terrorist centers of gravity, individual countries are burdened with the use of their own law enforcement to prosecute terrorist targets, supported by their national intelligence. National and international laws that apply specific mandates to terrorist activity must be specifically linked to a jurisdiction to enforce, and the ability to prosecute, these laws and mandates through specific domestic or international law enforcement means. However, without cooperation (ensured by organizational leadership) that is beneficial to the states in questions, they will simply just pursue state objectives and enforce laws that align with their national interests.
International Interagency Cooperation
The inability to achieve interagency cooperation is one of the greatest impediments to the effectiveness of national counterterrorism strategy; international counterterrorism strategy is no different. International intergovernmental organizations recognize the threat that terrorism poses to their way of life but struggle to achieve interoperability to accomplish common goals. James Miskal, in his Naval War College article Grand Strategies for Dealing with other States in the New, New World Order, states that "in the international political economy, transnational regimes, new forms of private economic organization, transnational strategic alliances, and the globalization of financial markets are forcing a convergence and homogenization of the rules, procedures, and outcomes of public policy formulation and of implementation across borders" (Miskal, 2005, p. 6). This sheer level of complexity across the international community can either result in increased effectiveness through economy of force and interagency cooperation, or a massive lack of efficiency through mismanaged efforts and overlapping objectives, lacking any and all synchronization.
Without the overlying governance and guidance of the UN, other intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) must to take the lead to unifying efforts and pursue international interagency cooperation. Organizations like the European Union maintain a deliberate action plan that aims to prevent terrorism, protect its citizens from terrorism, pursues extremism where it operates and responds when attacked. However, organizations like the EU have limited committed funds and troop contributions, with minimal ability to enforce meaningful change. Aside from encouraging collaboration across the intelligence community, IGOs need to establish committed resources to counter terrorism, "promoting partnerships" is not enough (The European Union, 2005, p. 4).
Areas where the international community stands to benefit from interagency cooperation is intelligence, special operations, counter terrorism finance/anti-money laundering, law enforcement and developmental/non-governmental organization efforts. For general operations, including counterterrorism, NATO has demonstrated success achieving interoperability. While primarily demonstrated through military operations, interoperability is achieved through joint-nation exercises, liaison teams and constant key-leader-engagement (KLE) paired with deliberate relationship building to develop trust and commonly shared standard operating procedures (SOPs). While varied states may have differences in resources to commit to a given issue, the mere sharing of tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) among like entities greatly benefits the international community as a whole.
Intergovernmental organizations also need to seek engagement from nongovernmental organization and transnational corporations. The EU has already put in to place provisions for freezing terrorist assets and transactions through many of the world's leading financial institutions in concert with the international Financial Action Task Force (FATF) (The European Union, 2005, p. 14). This demonstrates the engagement of international organizations with multinational corporations (MNCs) to achieve a mutually benefitting result. As the layers of complexity further develop in the 21st century, these are the relationships that need to be established to develop a true "multi-faceted" approach to opposing terrorism.
Since the UN is unable to coordinate efforts on an international level to affect regional issues, regional institutions and states need to engage NGOs and MNCs relevant to the area of operations that align with their anti-terrorism and counterterrorism strategies to further leverage the benefits of each organization's capabilities. An example of this is the International Committee of the Red Cross/Crescent in Afghanistan. Volunteers for the ICRC have been attacked numerous times over the past decade in Afghanistan, causing the ICRC to all but remove their operations from the country. If NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) were to further integrate into operations, albeit not formally, of organizations like ICRC, they could further ensure the NGO's security and success. This mutually benefits military efforts by alleviating the need of providing the type of assistance the ICRC can offer. Examples of mutually benefitting relationships such as this are available across the multitude of counterterrorism operations throughout the international community if organizations take an innovative approach to problem solving. Counterterrorism requires a diplomatic, military and developmental response. Ensuring synchronized international interagency cooperation across state, IGO, NGO and MNCs can maximize these efforts if planned deliberately and applied appropriately.
Information Sharing
The modern terrorist threat engages worldwide targets by studying gaps in national security and patiently engaging where their destruction will have the greatest strategic and symbolic implications. The challenge for international intelligence services to prevent attacks opposed by the decentralized, destruction-seeking and global nature of "new" terrorism is extraordinary (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 24). Additionally, when examining the "worst-case-scenario" of nuclear terrorism, terrorists could potentially execute a nuclear strike with as few operatives as they used to execute 9/11. The evolving nature of terrorism requires collaborative intelligence sharing. To effectively neutralize and defeat the modern terrorist threat we must promoted increased information sharing and intelligence collaboration through both law enforcement and national intelligence services. This requires trust, but minimal funding when compared to other objectives, making this (theoretically) an easier initial objective to achieve than other long-term options. With sufficient trust and redesigned lines of communication to break down bureaucratic barriers, the international community can grease the wheels of anti-terrorism and counterterrorism efforts worldwide.
The international community has developed measurable success in the last decade, creating formal mechanisms to share information to prevent the terrorist prosecution of soft targets such as civil aviation and transportation hubs (The State Department, 2017, p. 12). Additionally, many of our allies now maintain domestic counterterrorism intelligence organizations that have no functional law enforcement requirements, enabling them to focus all of their efforts on information gathering and collaboration (Chalk et al., 2004, p. 69). An example of diplomacy and intelligence at work was following 9/11, when George Bush immediately engaged pro-Western Muslim rulers, gaining critical allies against the war on terror through their sharing of real-time intelligence on threats in the region (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 157). The true litmus test of international counterterrorism strategy in regard to intelligence sharing is whether or not data can be processed and developed fast enough to enable time-sensitive targets (TSTs) to be prosecuted during kinetic combat operations. If intelligence is shared, but no longer actionable, it is merely a gesture of good will between allies, and no longer of any significant use.
As a whole (with some exceptions), the international intelligence community does not appear to have the capability to share information fast enough in the age of accelerated dynamic terrorism to significantly affect terrorist operations. The general trends in the 2018 State Department Country Reports on Terrorism show that minimal trust, thus minimal sharing exists across the "Global South." Some of this is attributed to safe haven countries where terrorism thrives, but also has weak government institutions and rampant corruption, raising many potential negative effects for information sharing. This enables terrorist organizations to travel across borders and attack neighboring countries without realistic fear of their operations becoming compromised. Also, while the Global North exhibits greater trust and collaboration, there is minimal benefit in that relationship (for situations outside of homeland security objectives) without including the Global South. The inability of the Global North to establish a measure of trust with countries that host terrorism impedes the total international relationship. Realistically however, unless the safe haven's government is stable enough to ensure shared critical intelligence will not become compromised, trust will not exist.
To solve this issue, countries must first focus on their domestic intelligence and law enforcement structure. Many state's organizations are overwhelmed with the responsibility to both collect information and prosecute violations of law. In order to delegate responsibility, resources and ensure a realistic application, states should define who is responsible for domestic vs. national intelligence, and who is responsible for domestic vs. national law enforcement. This may even mean four separate organizations. This is demonstrated in countries like France, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, that have "…vested domestic counterterrorism intelligence into the hands of dedicated agencies that have no functional law enforcement powers of arrest or detention" (Chalk et al., 2004, p. 43). This has allowed for these agencies to conduct surveillance operations on terrorism suspects long-term to gather data and information about operations and logistical cell activity and allows for long-term surveillance of terrorist suspects (as intelligence services are not concerned with the immediate requirement of criminal prosecutions), which has helped with the disruption of both operation and/or logistical cells (Chalk et al., 2004, p. 43).
Once a state has delegated and defined its own law enforcement and intelligence responsibilities it can engage in meaningful collaboration and cooperation with international entities, with information organizations sharing information horizontally, understanding the end goals with consideration of public policy, law enforcement or military means.
"Combating modern, global terrorism is a worldwide endeavor that can benefit immensely from cooperation with others, and it may be that we collectively have devoted insufficient imagination or attention to the opportunities for increased international collaboration" (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. x).
-- John Negroponte, 1st US Director of National Intelligence
The lack of shared interests being an obstacle to cooperation is not confined to terrorism, but is apparent in other, though not all, security issues. (Gottlieb et al., 2018, p. 289). Unless states recognize the need for cooperation and understand that an individual state's grand strategy may need to be out prioritized by the greater needs of the international community, these impediments will remain barriers to international cooperation. As described by Zach Shirley, regardless of advances in the past decade, these issues still pervade international organizations:
The UN and other international organizations remain hamstrung by their inherent shortcomings: failure to create a commonly accepted definition of terrorism and corresponding legal frameworks that states will take seriously; failure to punish noncompliance with IO mandates on priorities such as sanctioning terrorist groups and their financiers; and failure to solve collective action problems on key issues related to terrorism such as intelligence gathering and sharing.
The growing threat of terrorism has resulted in greater recognition of the need for cooperation to oppose its challenges. However, the UN has demonstrated that it is ineffective at facilitating counter terrorism efforts, merely promoting rhetoric that opposes terrorist efforts when it is ensured not to offend any UN members. Its efforts may be considered embarrassing, and only agree with other international organizations after a conclusion is made, such as NATO's invoking Article V by Tony Blair in 2001 against Al Qaeda, to which only then the UN designated Al Qaeda as their only labeled terrorist threat.
This leaves cooperation as primarily a bilateral and multilateral effort, allowing states to identify and unify priorities with other states with whom they choose to partner based on mutual benefits. Examples of this are specific relationships like the US and Israel, and NATO's specified International Security and Assistance Force. These efforts allow greater opportunity for progress since countries can align objectives, designate a threat that they are motivated to defeat, and pursue interoperability with the goal of breaking down the barriers of bureaucracy to achieve a unity of efforts.

New Delhi: A year after it last played an international match, the Indian men's hockey team will travel to Europe for a 17-day tour to play two matches each against Germany and Britain.
The 22-member squad is scheduled to leave for Krefeld, Germany, from Bengaluru on February 21.
India will play host Germany in Krefeld on February 28 and March 2. They will then travel to Antwerp, Belgium where they are scheduled to play Britain on March 6 and March 8.
The Indian men's team last participated in an international competition in February, 2020, when they took on Australia during the FIH Hockey Pro League, matches in Bhubaneswar. As a result of good performances, the team had climbed to fourth in the FIH world rankings, India's highest-ranking till date.
Over the past few months, Hockey India has been studying the Covid-19 situation to work out a suitable training and competition schedule for the team as part of Olympic preparations.
The Tokyo Olympic Games were postponed from July 2020 to July 2021.
The team had, over the past year, mostly trained in a bio-secure environment in SAI, Bengaluru with pandemic disrupting travel and competition abroad.
Chief coach Graham Reid said, "We are very grateful for the opportunity to go to Europe, and we are looking forward to having our first competitive matches in just over 12 months. Playing against powerhouse teams like Germany and Britain will provide us with great competition and help immensely in our preparation for FIH Hockey Pro League and Olympic Games. Playing any top-10 ranked team is always a great experience for the team."

Pointillism in hearts
I love this technique with points in heart, it amuses me and it relaxes me a lot. Besides that I like it a lot, it's a therapy for me. It helps me to disconnect and concentrate on what I am doing without thinking about something else and give free rein to my creativity.
Colored hearts
Putting points in the heart can be a precious gift, as each of us has its own values. Giving a value to each color of the points is a good way to express our feelings towards our loved ones and in a very original way, do not you think?
How to make these hearts?
A good way to make these hearts is to use a template and draw it on the stone with a pencil.
Then, paint the background red with acrylic paint applying two layers. Once the paint is dry, make dots in a row of the same color and continue until it ends in different colors.
Protect with varnish
These pieces, like all the ones that I show, are protected with a special varnish that serves to expose them both inside and outside the house.
Would you like to obtain them?
If you want these pieces or any of the ones I show on my profile, you can contact me firstname.lastname@example.com or through my Etsy store.
I hope you liked it, soon I will show you more My Art Rock
Hugs and see you soon.

Think "energy efficiency" and high-priced upgrades like replacing the office lights or installing a fancy energy-efficient heating system often spring to mind. In reality, though, many of the most effective energy-saving strategies for small businesses require little or no upfront cost, meaning you can reap real savings almost immediately.
Here are five low-cost energy-saving opportunities to consider:
Unplug equipment (or use power strips). Office equipment, battery chargers and electronics continue to draw energy from the electrical outlets even when they're turned off. This "phantom energy" or "vampire power," as it's called, can account for up to 30% of your electricity bills. To prevent that, unplug equipment when it's not in use. Or if there are too many gadgets to unplug individually, plug everything into a power strip and flip the switch off.
Set the sleep mode on computers, printers and copiers. Most office electronics these days offer a "power-saving" or "sleep" mode. What it does: When the equipment isn't used for an extended period, it will automatically go into a low-energy-consuming mode. You can simply shake the mouse or hit a button and the equipment springs back to full life. For each computer in your business, setting the power-saving mode on the monitor and system drive can save up to $50 a year on electricity bills. Enabling power-saving modes on copiers or printers can save even more.
Install occupancy sensors. Businesses often have rooms that get used rarely or sporadically, such as storage closets, break rooms or restrooms. But the lights may stay on constantly. Installing occupancy sensors in these types of rooms, which typically cost less than $100 each, will help ensure lights in those rooms only come on when somebody is actually in them. Using an occupancy sensor can create light electricity savings in that room of more than 50%.
Use a programmable thermostat. Just like in a home, setting back the temperatures at night or when you're away will generate nice savings on your heating bills. Programmable thermostats generally cost less than $100 and allow you to pre-set room temperatures over the course of a day. Every one degree you set back temperatures for an eight-hour period will produce up to a 1% savings on your heating bills, according to the Department of Energy. So in the summer, you might program room temperature at 72 degrees during the day and turn it up to 78 degrees at night.
Install low-flow faucet aerators. If you have a restroom or a kitchen , you can reduce your water heating costs by installing a so-called low-flow aerator on the faucets. Most standard aerators on faucets generate 2.2 gallons of water per minute. A low-flow aerator will replace some of that water with air pressure and flow 1.5 gallons per minute or less. Using low-flow aerators is estimated to save 25% to 60% on water-heating costs for the faucets they are installed on.

Timber suppliers in Brisbane and across Queensland have been using a system of specifications since 1939, when the Queensland Forest Service produced a publication called "Pamphlet no 1: North Queensland building timbers and specifications for their use."
This publication was created to help promote "greater service efficiency in timber" and to help encourage the proper use of a variety of Northern Queensland timbers in the construction industry. In 1947, a second, complementary document was produced that provided information on 100 Southern Queensland Timbers. It was called, "Pamphlet no 2: Southern Queensland building timbers and specifications for their use."
The Revisions
There would be many revisions until 1991, when a publication called "Technical pamphlet no 1" was created to supercede all prior specifications. Between 1991 and 2006, however, the timber and construction industries saw an unprecedented number of changes in available resources, construction technologies and industry recommendations.
Many rainforest timbers became scarce because they were classified in a status called "World Heritage." This caused more imports from Asia, South America, Africa and the Pacific Islands. Timber regulations regarding target design life and decay hazard zones were created. Termite resistance and above-ground durability classes were developed and machine graded pine was introduced.
The Timber Framing Code AS 1684 series Residential timber—framed construction parts 2 and 3 were changed considerably. Botanical names of certain timbers were revised. Newer termite treatments were developed.
Construction Timbers in Queensland
The result would be a publication called, Construction Timbers in Queensland, published in 2006. This publication has two books and is used in conjunction with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) to determine suitable timbers for construction in various situations.
The latest revision was in March, 2013. The current document is called Construction Timbers in Queensland, Books 1 and 2. Book 1 explains the terms you need to know. Book 2 consists of a series of schedules that serve as a reference guide as to which timbers are appropriate for which uses.

We have a full selection of construction timbers and a knowledgeable staff that can help you with the regulations. To learn more, call us today: (07) 3888 1293.


text: As Wells Fargo reels from the implications of a consent order with the Federal Reserve, industry watchers say that the bank regulator may be thinking more broadly than just Wells Fargo. According to a New York Times analysis, the Federal Reserve's settlement with the bank holding company is an attempt to impress upon banks that their boards of directors should be vigorous, independent watchdogs and could face consequences if they fail. According to the Fed's order, Wells Fargo's governance and risk management practices led to "significant violations of law and substantial consumer harm." In a letter to Senator Elizabeth Warren, former Fed Chair Janet Yellen described the Fed's actions, which include a restriction on the firm's growth in total assets -- a sanction which Yellen's letter describes as "unique and more stringent than the penalties the Board has imposed" against other firms for similar unsafe and unsound practices - and requirements on Wells Fargo's board and senior management to take specific actions to address governance and risk management deficiencies at the firm. The firm's former board chair and former lead independent director were separately reprimanded. Yellen's letter recognized Wells Fargo's actions to reshape its board -- naming an independent director as chair and adding new independent directors. Yellen's letter also indicated that the bank's woes highlight the need for guidance on the attributes of effective boards that the Fed proposed in 2017. That guidance proposed fewer specific directives for bank boards to allow directors to focus on management oversight, strategy and risk management. According to the Wall Street Journal, new Fed Chair Jerome Powell who was instrumental in the Fed's proposing of the guidance is expected to continue seeking clearer standards for bank boards.

What Our Customers are Saying :-
I've put quite a few hours on the table with machine quilting this weekend already. The table is great and I can't imagine quilting without it. I have used it with the Elna Jubilee and the Viking Husqvarna Designer 1. It fit both quite nicely even though they are very different in size.
I love the table !!! It's perfect. It will go from my Brother Pacesetter 1500D to my little Janome 405. It also fits my daughter's Kenmore, and the other daughter's Elna CE20. I love to extend the bed for quilting, as do my daughters…wish they'd get their own.
"I received my table today and I love it. It works with my Machine (viking1+) with or without embroidery unit, with or without accessory box and on the free arm only. It also works with my Elna (Golden Jubilee).

Looking Forward to 2012, Up in the Sky
I was thinking about what to write in today's post, when I realized I was not going to write what I had planed to do. I was going to go through my images and post up the 10 most important images for me over the past year. I kind of visual journey thought the ups and downs of 2011.
We, especially in Japan, have been though so much. Every disaster imaginable has happened to this country and we are still dealing with the after effects of the March 11 triple disasters. We are still dealing with the daily stress of not knowing what the future holds for our communities.
I thought deeply on this matter. I even had begun to map out which images I would use in the post. I have decided to change my focus from the past to the future. It is important to revaluate one's life in order to create a better future. Those that are in tune with their spirit take the time to review their actions, and take steps to redirect our lives to be on the path that we want to travel. In some cases, the path that we need to travel on.
I have chosen on the end of the Gregorian calendar to look forward. To put the past behind us, and to forward to the year to come. To look upwards into the endless skies and see the possibilities for what the future can bring. To forge ahead down the roads that we need to travel. To find ourselves in the bluest blues of the universe.
As many revel in the end of the year, I choose to look froward to the next. Where will my artistic explorations take me? I do not know, but I am excited about the freedom that lies ahead.
2011 into 2012

Budapest and the shape of a tongue in exile
It would be hard for an expatriate not to love a book whose first line is
It should be against the law to mock someone who tries his luck in a foreign language.
So begins Budapest, by Chico Barque, delightful in English translation from the Brazilian Portuguese about an invisible man of letters who falls in love with the Hungarian language.
This is a book of exuberant words, and its exuberance is catchy. It's a small book, a short read, a few clever twists, but mostly it is just an explosion of words describing less life than imagination.
Time spent as an expatriate can sap your inner voice. Even as one learns a new tongue, one cannot help but be hesitant to use it. After all, it is not against the law to mock stilted foreigners. Even among impeccably polite hosts, one is constantly aware that whatever beyond mere practicality one wishes to express will be hopelessly marred. Your sense of humor will be misinterpreted, your irony will not be caught, your puns will be unintentionally obscene. People will laugh, or be offended, or they will be confused. You may be cute, but you will not be yourself, who you mean to be. If you are not careful, with each phrase misspoken you become something small in your own eyes, a curiosity.
This book I am hawking (I suppose I am hawking it, since I just signed up for Amazon's affiliate program in a what-the-hell kind of a moment) doesn't dwell on all of this. It doesn't dwell on much of anything. It runs rough-shod over any actual topic with the self-indulgent imaginings and ego-fueled explosions of its protagonist, and the plot of the book ends up seeming like an interesting enough travelogue, or like a cute joke, but you don't much care. This is a book whose purpose is to sweep you away in a torrent of words, and for that I am grateful. It is a book for an expatriate to savor, not primarily because what it describes is topical, but because it is an antidote to the mute colorlessness that threatens to quietly overtake the mind of the shy, unwary alien.

The story of Yana and Arev: 2 young women bringing innovation to Armenia
This story is about 2 young Armenian women: Yana and Arev. Both have been engaged in EU-SMEDA's capacity building events and now are actively applying the gained know-how in their profession with more innovative spark and ingenuity. As a graphic designer, Yana has been engaged in graphic recording for two years. She acquired this skill at courses held within the framework of the project ''Support for SME Development in Armenia''(EU SMEDA), which is co-financed by the European Union under its EU4Business initiative. Having taken part in courses in 2017, she pretty much mastered her profession in a week. Now, she is ready to conduct such trainings abroad. "Since this skill is not particularly common in Russia and Georgia, I am planning a number of trainings there," Yana said an interview. Thanks to the EU SMEDA project, Arev Hambardzumyan, an information technology specialist, has improved her skills as well. She is another young specialist who believes that there are enough good opportunities for young people in the labour market in Armenia. Arev is a Chief technical officer of two companies in Armenia. She says that there is a shortage of workers in her sector.

All vehicle manufacturers have varying service intervals. In some cases intervals between servicing can be as much as 20,000 km. This is dependent on several factors the most important being that the correct lubricant is used to last between these extended intervals.
At Autoace we endeavour to service vehicles as per the manufacturer's recommendations. We also stock a comprehensive range of all the lubrication products required to ensure the correct specification is being used. We have specialist diagnostic equipment on-site to check vehicle systems for correct function and carrying out any software updates that may be required.
Late Model Servicing
On most late model vehicles, services alternate between minor services (basically oil and filter changes with safety checks and inspections) and maintenance services which normally include replacement of additional filters such as air and fuel filters and periodically the cabin dust filter. Also at set mileage intervals and limited life the brake fluid and coolant will need to be changed, these are normally at two and three year intervals respectively.
Transmission services are due at varying intervals usually upwards of 60,000 km and spark plugs at 80,000 km however this does vary between manufacturers and we will advise you before carrying out these services.
Older Model Servicing
On older vehicles we take a different approach as sticking to the manufacturers recommendations becomes less viable hence we tailor servicing to provide cost effective yet sufficient maintenance to maintain the vehicle in good reliable shape.

Mothfly (Psychodidae) 1.jpg
Psychodidae (Mothfly) in Amber
Dominican Republic
Lower Miocene to Mid Oligocene (30 to 23 million years ago)
This piece measures 20 mm long by 18 mm wide and 4mm thick. Insect- 1mm. Drain flies, sink flies, filter flies, or sewer gnats (Psychodidae) are small true flies (Diptera) with short, hairy bodies and wings giving them a "furry" moth-like appearance, hence one of their common names, moth flies. There are more than 2600 described species worldwide, most of them native to the humid tropics. This makes them one of the most diverse families of their order. Drain flies sometimes inhabit plumbing drains and sewage systems, where they are a harmless but persistent annoyance.

There was a time, before social media and cell phones, when a scandal took hours or even days to break publicly, and when a politician's fortunes were perhaps not decided within seconds of being captured in a compromising photograph. That was the case in 1987, when Gary Hart, a rising Democratic star, seemed all but poised to sail easily to his party's nomination to face Ronald Reagan's ... more >

Signs are so very key to getting the word out about a lost or found pet. Often times, the person who lost the pet thinks, "surely the person who finds my pet will post a sign". Meanwhile, the person who finds the pet drives around looking for lost pet signs thinking, "surely the person who lost the pet has signs up". Please don't make an assumption. It's far better to post signs than to assume someone else will do it. Remember the old adage, more is better than less.
You can make waterproof signs rather easily. I have used this method many times, and it works great! Make your signs at home is easy! Using your computer, make your signs simple.
Things to buy
- Zip Ties (if you don't know what they are, here is a link to some on Amazon,http://www.amazon.com/Black-Zip-Tie-100-Bag/dp/B0001IMMJI). I buy them at Walmart.
- Plastic sheet protectors (here is an example on Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Avery-Loading-Non-Glare-Protectors-74102/dp/B00006IC7Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324993111&sr=8-1). I typically buy them at OfficeMax or OfficeDepot.
- Printer at home
- 8.5 X 11 paper
- Scotch-tape
- Paper hole puncher
- Scissors
- Packing tape
- Colorful posterboard (I buy it at Deals or Dollar Tree).
Things to Think About
For LOST pet signs, include a good, clear picture of your pet. Make it large enough for someone to see clearly what the pet looks like. Include the words "LOST DOG" or "LOST CAT" at the top of the sign. If your pet has been missing a while, you may want to use wording such as "HAVE YOU SEEN ME". If your pet is skittish, include the words "DO NOT CHASE".
What to Put on Your Signs
Underneath the picture, list some details about the pet, such as color, gender, and name. If your dog is skittish or shy of people, it is suggested that you do NOT include the name. Imagine if you're afraid of people, and a stranger is calling out your name. It may cause your pet to run off further.
Be sure to list telephone number(s). More than 1 is always good because it increases your chance should someone call with information, and you yourself are not able to answer the phone. Be sure to double-check that you do not have any typos in the Contact info. That is crucial!
For FOUND pet signs, it is always best not to put too much information. Unfortunately we live in a society today where bad people steal pets to resell them for money. Therefore, if you have found a pet, simply put "FOUND LARGE DOG", or "FOUND CAT". List your telephone number. No additional information is required. Especially in the case of found pets, make the caller describe unique details of the pet. Again, bad people will do bad things.
Once Your Signs Have Been Made, Now What?
Once you have printed your signs out, let them dry for a couple of minutes (if using an ink-jet printer). Place each sign into the sheet protector, leaving the open end of the sheet protector to face the bottom. That way, when you hang the signs, rain and moisture doesn't ruin your sign. Put a piece of scotch tape at the bottom to secure the opening so your sign doesn't fall out.
Once you have filled your sheet protectors, and secured the bottoms, take your hole puncher and punch a hole in the top center of the sheet protector, and the bottom center of the sheet protector. These holes will be where you attach the zip tie when hanging your sign.
The colorful posterboard is useful for heavy traffic intersections. The color helps to attract attention to your signs. Folder the posterboard into fourths. Then cut into four squares. Each square will be larger than your 8.5 X 11 sign that you have made with the sheet protector.
You are now ready to hang signs!
Hanging Your Signs
Use the sheet protectors for neighborhoods and smaller streets. When you are hanging signs at busy intersections, use the packing tape to attach the sheet protector to the poster board.
To hang the sign, use the zip tie to attach it to the posts. I have found that most cities are very much against hanging signs because often, people use tape, which then peels off the paint from the sign. If you use zipties, you can combine multiple zip ties to make one large tie. Then, feed it thru each hole on your sign, and wrap the long zip tie you have created around the larger posts.

Jason Momoa doesn't really need bodyguards, though he'd make a good one himself. After all, the actor, who played the fearsome Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo in "Game of Thrones" and will star in the standalone 2018 "Aquaman" movie, is 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 meters) and more than 200 pounds (91 kilograms), Cnet reports.
So when a photo showing the hulking Momoa flanked by two smaller men in dark suits started making the rounds, it went viral quicker than Drogo could rampage across your plain with his khalasar.
Watch Momoa throwing axes at "Jimmy Kimmel Live":

Alan Jackson #1 in Norway?
Aug. 19, 2009 — It's no surprise when we see Alan Jackson at the top of the charts right here in America. What might surprise you is Jackson's most recent International chart topper in, of all places, Norway. His NORWEGIAN FAVORITES album hit the #1 spot on the charts in that country this past week, his first ever there.
I guess now we know why 20,000 fans clogged roadways and braved 9 hours in the rain to see Alan perform a concert in Bergen, Norway this past week. The tour also made stops in Skien, Norway, Eskilstuna, Sweden. All in all over 40,000 fans turned out for the Scandinavian tour stops.
Who knew there were so many rabid country fans in a place like Norway, a place where you'd expect to see ski boots and bobsleds, not cowboy boots and pickup trucks.
Jackson's NORWEGIAN FAVORITES features a collection of 13 greatest hits including "Remember When," "It's Five o'Clock Somewhere," "Sissy's Song" and more. We did a little digging and found this commercial on YouTube promoting the Norwegian release.
Back here in the States, Jackson's most recent collection, Good Time, became the fourth album of his career to debut simultaneously at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums and all-genre Billboard 200 sales charts. The 17-song release has netted three No.1 hits, "Good Time," "Small Town Southern Man," and "Country Boy," and Jackson's 50th Top 10 single "Sissy's Song." Jackson's newest single, "I Still Like Bologna," his ode to changing times and his continuing affection for a favorite sandwich, is climbing the charts.

HELLO AMERICA!—Hollywood like everywhere else, it seems, is riveted with dealing with those of color: Blacks, Brown, Red, Yellow, you name it, they are all pitted against each other for power as executives, performers, production leaders, you name it when it comes to film or TV development, casting especial when it involves the process of production control. Because there are more Mexicans or Latinos employed at most of the productions companies, the hostility and hidden anger and resentment is intense.
A young Afro American CARL (*who asked if his last name is not logged), who has been employed at one of the major studios in Hollywood, made it very clear that based on the addition of thousands of those from places like Mexico, locations of South America have been eagerly given major positions on the film lots of the industry. "Human Resources reps, who by the way, comprise mostly of, and or Mexicans provide and protect their own. This kind of consideration simply built up resentment from Afro-Americans, Asians and all the other different cultures represented on the lots."
There seems to be a general opinion that studios are more eager to employ BROWN, YELLOW people than those representing Afro-Americans. One associate director "Halsey" didn't hesitate to voice his observations and opinion. "With the current employment process, it seems that the intention is to keep the different groups of color at odds. This, of course only deepens the general hostility that many of the political outside groups are deeply determined to accomplish. Let's face it, our country is at war when it comes to ethnic groups and those of power are the ones who benefit if they can keep this ritual of hate and resent fresh an alive. It is really a damn shame.
An Afro-American character actress insisted that the only time she had decent dialog was when a film was produced concerning the Black Community. "If the location of the story," she vented, took place in Harlem or Compton, the dialog even then rippled with gutter English and serve a mentality representing a low class, uneducated group, trapped on a possible street of poverty and danger which has always been the literary reference since the primitive days of theatre and when the cameras focused on the magical life experience of Hollywood." Sadly, it has continued with some of the best writers of color and performers, a programming which has permeated every social level of society; a death trap for people who are only reaching for hope and opportunity.
Recently, I received a call from a young filmmaker living in England, Jason Humes. His interests is to visit the film industry and document producers, directors, actors even religious organizations representing feelings and attitudes of today, when it comes to different races and millennials; all sculpturing a different face of this new generation of Americans.
Then there are men and women of color being signed as producers, writers and the like who have done very little to change the sad, sick view of people who stem from a slave ship, cotton fields and those who were lynched or burned at a stake for seeking freedom and respect; because of personal greed and a hunger for personal power and acceptance from the dominant group replicate the same things those very people have and are doing to keep certain types of our nation in check. In many instances, Blacks are their own worst enemy!
Then yet organizations such as BET will offer up awards for what they have offered to the arts at large. Something isn't right here and it should be focused on whether the Black community likes or accepts it or not. There is a continual programming of ignorance and slime permeating the black community which is destroying opportunity and acceptance because of old and sick ideas which has accomplished very little when it comes to national and even international respect. American theatre and films are greatly responsible for this sick painting of human perception. All people are in the same color bucket and we had better make an effort to change things and reach high to escape the fresh air for survival.
