May 08, 2013 John Hofilena Features, National 18
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed his concern on the increase of hate speech in the country in an Upper House Budget Committee session on May 7. The premier criticized the hate-mongering that has become rampant on the internet and in specific areas around the nation, adding that the hate these people show is dishonoring Japan.
"It is truly regrettable that there are words and actions that target certain countries and races," Abe was quoted as saying. This was the prime minister's response to a question from Democratic Party of Japan lawmaker Kan Suzuki, who pointed out that demonstrations in the Koreatowns of Tokyo's Shin-Okubo district and Osaka's Tsuruhashi district have been marred by such vitriol and race-specific hate. Protesters have been shouting, "Kill the Koreans", or that "Koreans are cockroaches", and "Koreans go home, you do not belong here!" Abe called on the Japanese people to show the courtesy that has been the trademark of the nation. "I believe that the Japanese respect harmony and should not be people who exclude others," Abe said. "The Japanese way of thinking is to behave politely and to be generous and modest at any time," he added.
Abe himself has been caught in recent issues where his specific words have caused angry reactions from South Korea and China. This is with regards to his views about Japan's role in World War II, saying that the term "aggressor" can be defined in different ways from different points of view. South Korea has specifically made strong diplomatic reactions, asking Japan to apologize and the international community to exert pressure for Abe to retract what he said.
Abe concluded that those who are spreading hate speech – online or offline – do not represent the Japanese people. He also specifically said that it was his intention to restrict hateful comments posted on his official Facebook page. "It's completely wrong to put others down and feel as if we are superior," he said. "Such acts dishonor ourselves."
[via Asahi]
As a politician, Abe is fully aware the root cause of the hate and those extreme right wing groups.
I don't know if his statement has any effects on those extreme groups. But I am sure if there is no preventive measures, something terrible is going to happen someday.
Something terrible, you mean as in China with their ultra nationalists?
Haha you are funny.
I mean minority Koreans will become extreme right wing Japanese target.
In China, normally it's minority who launchs attack on majority Han.
You know the difference now!
Han Chinese won't shout to Uigurs who are selling babyque lamb "Go back to where you belong" in Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen even when the riots break out in Xinjiang when they learn that Uigurs separatists are killing Han.
I witnessed it myself as a tourist. when Tibet had riots in 2010, Shanghainese still bought a lot of things from Tibeatan vendors while the news was reporting that Tibetan mobs are killing Han in Lasha.
That's the difference. It's my personal experience.
Guess what? minority enjoys a lot of privileges than Han.
I am glad you could recognize 1) that you had similar issues in China and 2) you have nothing to do with Taiwan except the misleading name.
Sorry that's only the minority who can enjoy the privileges Japanese not included.
But I will condemn those mobs who attacked the Japanese or Chinese or looting the stores.
Jail is the only place for them to go.
So you said you are a foreigner who love Japan deeply even more than average Japanese ( sorry goose bumps), and you say the Okinawans are proud Japanese.
Do you have a short memory that not long ago there were many right wing Japanese shouting at Okinawans and asked them "Get out of Japan" ?
Don't you remember it?
Just let me correct your usual exaggeration. I did not say I love Japan more than the average Japanese, but I said I love Japan like the average Japanese.
For the rest, there is unfortunately people full of hatred, and although they are a minority, they are painfully noisy, kind of like pro-China people in Taiwan I guess.
Shame on you!
Yes, in Okinawa it's painfully noisy.
It's lowering my standard to talk to someone like you. Chao!
You are fogging the issue with China again….
I believe that any country should not allow such hatred speech
in the name of freedom of speech.
It is deplorable
such hatred speech is allowed on the street of Japan,
which is supposedly highly civilized society.
PM Abe is trying to repositioning at least on the surface
and I think it is praiseworthy.
I agree completely that such hate speech should never occur, neither in Japan, and sorry, but neither in China or Korea. I think many Japanese keenly remember the hate speech and riots against Japanese in September 2012…. Unless you'd think that was somehow less bad???
Hate speech should never "be allowed"
rather than never "occur".
Can you see the difference?
Sure I do. I am being more restrictive, because not only do I think the hate speeches should never be allowed, but also I think they should not occur and steps should be taken to prevent them from happening.
Do you see the difference now? Can you imagine this being applied in China? Of course not. The Chinese government is just too happy to stir ultra nationalist sentiment to use that in their foreign policy.
Back at you buddy.
Well, it seems that there is something we agree on 🙂
"should not occur" and "should not be allowed" should be applied not only Japan and Japanese government, but also to China and Chinese government and Korea and Korean government.
Don't Okinawans hate Americans due the base and the school girl who was raped by that P.O.S who called himself a Marine?
Also, I've seen so many videos and read so many articles regarding discrimination in Japan.
Discrimination is everywhere. No one should defend it for any reason. I praise PM Abe for at least saying something.
Nationalistic attitudes will do nothing but ruin the appeal of a country. And make investment less likely.
I go often to Okinawa and I can assure you they do not hate Americans at all, but they don't like misbehavior by some of them, and they did not like the fact that the american soldiers were dependent on U.S. law as in an extrajudicial system. Good thing the latter is over since a few years already.
They don't like the presence of the military in some part of Okinawa, BUT they are also keenly aware of the economic value it represent for them. Hirokazu Nakaima, current Governor of Okinawa knows well how to play this card in his bargaining with the central government.
Thank You Abe. I'm mixed Korean that gets confused for Japanese all the time.
Abe did much better than the Americans.
By the way, which casino in Japan are they siphoning money off to North Korean with? 🙂
This is a proper remark as a politician's act. No one can trust such person who ignores inhuman activity.
Yes – Abe does not go far enough – and does not put it into practice within his own ruling party. Just today in Channelnewsasia – there was an article saying that Abe's party will keep visiting the war shrine. Why is Abe so keen to encourage young people to die for Japan – if Japan is truelly a peaceloving nation as he claims?
"TOKYO – The policy chief of Japan's ruling party vowed Sunday to keep paying homage at a controversial war shrine despite anger and diplomatic protests by China and South Korea.
"Nearly 170 Japanese lawmakers made a pilgrimage last month to the Yasukuni Shrine, a flashpoint in a bitter dispute between Japan and Asian neighbours which were victims of its 20th century militarism.
For foreign critics, the shrine is a stark reminder of Tokyo's brutal occupation of the Korean peninsula and imperialist expansion leading up to World War II. Among the 2.5 million honoured there are 14 men convicted of war crimes by a US-led tribunal after Japan's 1945 surrender.
Sanae Takaichi, who heads the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's policy affairs council, was one of the senior lawmakers who joined the April visit and on Sunday defended the practice.
"It's an internal affair (of a nation) how to commemorate the people who sacrificed their lives for the national policy," Takaichi said on a programme on public broadcaster NHK."
This kind of story always disappoints us, doesn't it?
Japanese politicians, they need to consider why none of state guests make a pilgrimage to the Yasukuni Shrine, and why the present emperor never visits there.

Several hundred people are taking part in a prayer vigil outside the home of Riley Mercer, 15 in Conception Bay South.
They came by bus, car and foot to the suburban neighbourhood, and carried small lights and candles.
Bundled up in warm clothes, they clutched cups of hot chocolate provided by the Salvation Army and sang hymns.
Mercer, 15, was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer in December 2011. When Mercer was a toddler, his older sister, Alex died of the same disease at the age of nine.
In recent months, Mercer's condition has worsened. He has lost his sight and hearing and is now confined to bed.
Last month, Villa Nova Junior High School in C.B.S. raised more than $14,000 to help support his family while his parents stay by his side.
Parents feeling the strain
Mercer's illness has taken a toll on his parents, Louise and Bernard, who are caring for their second child with cancer.
They said their son needs them so much, the only way they could attend was if the gathering was held outside their house.
Louise Mercer has planned to speak at the vigil, about how Riley's illness and Alex's death have affected her family.
"She really feels like she needs [this] now," said Carla Crotty, a friend of the Mercer family.
The vigil has been organized by the Long Pond Salvation Army, two local schools, and friends of the Mercer family. The RNC has been providing traffic enforcement services in the area.

Exclusive: Creed's First Performance Since Reforming
In the last decade or so, there have been few bands who can match the commercial success of Creed. When their debut album, 'My Own Prison,' first hit the airwaves in 1997, radio programmers filled up their playlists with the Florida band's infectious blend of post grunge guitars and soulful vocals. While stuffy music critics largely dismissed the band's output, their massive and loyal fanbase grew with each single and tour. "You know, I don't think we ever felt that we needed validation," vocalist Scott Stapp told Noisecreep last week when he and the band stopped by our studios. "But it would be nice to get a nice article written every now and then you know?"
Critical acclaim or not, Creed have sold well over 30 million albums thus far. Clearly, they were the people's band.
But despite all of their artistic and commercial triumphs, not everything was perfect in Camp Creed. In 2004 the band announced their official break up after a string of bad shows and inter-band issues. Three fourths of the band started a new outfit called Alter Bridge while lead vocalist Scott Stapp pursued a solo career. Meanwhile, Creed's three studio albums were still all over rock radio and the sound that critics had panned countless times was influencing a crop of new bands. "It's humbling to know that you've impacted other artists, but I know that we want to, as a band, kind of push the envelope and not have any boundaries on what we're doing," explained Stapp.
Creed were gone but not forgotten. After months of internet gossip and speculation, the group officially announced their reformation on their website this past April. We asked the band if they feared that their original chemistry would still be there, "We've got a long history. We cut our teeth together writing songs and playing music so it was very natural when it came to the music and it was easy," revealed guitarist Mark Tremonti. We had to know what the first song they played together was when they reformed and Tremonti responded, "My Own Prison." "Back to the roots," said Stapp.
The band has been in the studio with producer Howard Benson (The All-American Rejects, My Chemical Romance) recording their fourth album which will fittingly be called 'Full Circle.' The band will also be launching a U.S. tour later this summer but for now, you can check out this intimate Sessions performance which offers the first look at the band together again after nearly seven years.

Leaders killed to silence people's voice, says Rahul Gandhi
In the first public rally in Bastar after the Maoist attack on a Congress motorcade, Rahul Gandhi on Thursday expressed concern about the safety and security of common people in Chhattisgarh under the BJP's rule.india Updated: Oct 09, 2013 10:40 IST
In the first public rally in Bastar after the Maoist attack on a Congress motorcade, party vice- president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday expressed concern about the safety and security of common people in Chhattisgarh under the BJP's rule.
"When the Congress leaders are not safe, how can the common people feel secure here?" the Congress leader asked.
While addressing the Adivasi Adhikar Mahasammelan organised by the state Congress at Lal Bagh ground in Bastar district, he said the killing of Congress leaders Nand Kumar Patel, Mahendra Karma and VC Shukla was an attempt to silence the voice of common man.
In an audacious ambush at Darbha valley on May 25, Maoists killed 27 persons including 20 Congressmen.
"Patel told me that the Congress will never lose the (upcoming) election and his thoughts reflected the feelings of the people of Chhattisgarh," Gandhi said.
He added that after the incident, he realised that Patel was killed to silence the emerging voice of Chhattisgarh. "So, I rushed to Chhattisgarh even at 1am even though I was told not to go," Gandhi said, as the crowd applauded.
Earlier this month, BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi addressed a huge gathering from the Red Fort's replica at Ambikapur in north Chhattisgarh. Comparisons were drawn by many between Modi's 'Lal Qila' speech and Gandhi's Lal Bagh address.
Without naming anyone, Gandhi said there are some who believe the country can be run only by two or three people. "But we think the country is ruled by the common man. And the Congress only thinks about the rights of the people," he said while spelling out the schemes that the UPA government has introduced in its nine-year rule.
He mentioned the right to education, right to information, NRHM, food bill, MGNREGA and the tribal-oriented Land Acquisition Act. "When land is taken from the rich, it is bought, but when it comes to the poor and adivasis (tribals) their land is grabbed," he said.
Gandhi exhorted the youth to come forward to participate in politics. Attacking the BJP government in the state, he said they had failed to execute development commensurate with 'huge' funds released by the Centre.
After Gandhi finished his speech, the crowd waited to catch a glimpse of him as he walked along the security barricades towards his bullet-proof vehicle. Around 1500 personnel were deployed in and around the venue for security.
The BJP, which won 11 of 12 seats in the Bastar tribal belt in 2008, closely monitored Gandhi's visit and his rally.

A short update. Suffice to say, I'm been very busy of late. I decided to get back to revising An Anarchist FAQ, namely its appendices – starting with the critique of David McNally's terrible "Socialism from Below" pamphlet. It has taken more time than I had anticipated – mostly due to how bad it is.
This is particularly the case in relation to Proudhon. I tracked down two quotes he provides and – Quelle Surprise! – the context shows that McNally really is distorting his ideas. Also, of course, Property is Theft! means that we now have a host of new works by Proudhon available in English which helps to destroy the Leninist myths McNally is mindlessly repeating. The level of scholarship is so bad that refuting it takes time. Still, aiming for the first update of An Anarchist FAQ in four years on the 18th of March – to mark the Paris Commune, of course (and Kronstadt as well).
I have been busy just before the Solstice holidays writing a few reviews and an article for Anarchist Studies. The reviews are a short version of my Victor Serge review and short version of the review I have just posted of the excellent book Libertarian Socialism: Politics in Black and Red. I've basically chopped almost all of my comments on Paul Blackledge's terrible chapter for Anarchist Studies – talking of which, I aim to complete and post my next – and hopefully final – blog on Blackledge in the next few months. And the article includes an updated version of my Incomplete Kropotkin Bibliography plus a discussion on the importance of primary sources and the relationship and interplay of leaders and movements (I avoided the vacuous term "dialectical", you will be pleased to know). I will post that here in due course.
And, finally, my new Kropotkin anthology Direct Struggle Against Capital has been published (or is very close to being published). Anyway, it is on the US AK Press webpage now. As a result, I've been asked by answer a few questions on why I did the book and why people should buy it. My answers have been put on the book's webpage by AK Press (along with the contents page), but I thought I would include them here in my blog as well.
Hope you enjoy the answers and please, if you buy the book, buy it direct from AK Press or your local radical bookshop.
Until I blog again, be seeing you…
1. Why did you decide to edit this book, and how do you hope that it will contribute to the understand of Kropotkin, his work, and our understanding of anarchist history?
When I was working on volume 2 of An Anarchist FAQ, I took the time to read Kropotkin's Memoirs and thought that the more political discussions within it should be better know. In addition, Caroline Cahm's Kropotkin and the Rise of Revolutionary Anarchism, 1872-1886 showed that there were important works by Kropotkin on the labour movement in the early 1880s which should be available to the English-speaking world – particularly given the all-too-common myth (so beloved by Marxists!) that Kropotkin rejected the class struggle in favour of some kind of inter-class co-operation.
So I thought it would be good to collect these works and others like them into one volume, focused on his views on the labour movement but including his opinions on anarchism and social revolution. I felt vindicated in this when I read an article by Kropotkin in Freedom complaining that his views of the labour movement had been misrepresented and that he often thought of produced a volume of his newspaper writings to refute such claims. Sadly, he never did and he continued to be subjected to such misrepresentations – particularly by Marxists.
Another important area the book covers is Kropotkin's view of revolution and stresses something which seems to be often overlooked, namely that he recognised that social revolution was marked by economic disruption and faced numerous difficulties (not least, they required defending). While he is often painted as being optimistic over the ease of social transformation, the opposite is the case.
It should enrich our understanding of anarchist history by showing that the notion that anarchists turned to syndicalism in the 1890s or that syndicalism and anarchism are different things are simply not true. Anarchist support of syndicalist tactics arose in the First International and were championed by Bakunin. Kropotkin placed himself in this tradition and repeatedly argued the need for anarchists to support popular movements like trade unionism and revolutionise them from within.
It will, then, hopefully confirm what should have been obvious from a close reading of the works previously available, namely that Kropotkin was a committed revolutionary who embraced the class struggle as the means of creating anarchism and who had a practical and realistic view of social change and revolution. Not for him the notion of "one-day" revolutions which appear as if by magic!
2. Who are you trying to reach with this book? What unique understandings of Kropotkin that you hope readers will take away?
First and foremost, anarchists! This is because the issues Kropotkin raised are still relevant today – not least, because Marxists tend to repeat the same old nonsense about anarchism and Kropotkin. So, second, I am trying to reach other radicals and show them that anarchist thought is worth investigating, that the caricatures we read by opponents of anarchism are precisely that. And, finally, to those who write about anarchism (academics or not). Perhaps with this anthology and my Proudhon one (Property is Theft!) then some of the more common misunderstandings and misrepresentations about anarchism and its history will be stopped. However, I will not be holding my breath!
In terms of unique understandings, well, I hope that readers will gain a better idea of the breadth and depth of Kropotkin's ideas and his contributions to anarchism. There was a reason he was so respected within the movement, not least his ability to explain basic anarchist ideas well in plain and understandable words. So I hope that readers will gain a better idea of what anarchism stands for, where it came from, how it developed and where Kropotkin repeated previous ideas and where he contributed to new developments.
3. What was the most challenging aspect of putting together a book like this? What was the most rewarding?
The most challenging aspect was tracking down the Russian texts which are newly translated in Direct Action Against Capital. Suffice to say, an important book would be made if someone took the time to collate and translate all of the articles and pamphlets Kropotkin wrote to influence the fledgling Russian libertarian movement before 1914. Another challenge was trying to limit the articles and pamphlets to include – Kropotkin was such a good writer that the temptation was naturally to think that there could be space for one more! However, common-sense had to prevail and it was a case of balancing what was important and already available in other works and material collected in book form for the first time.
In terms of the most rewarding, well, there is nothing like reading a translation of an article you think is important and discovering that you were right!
4. What do you want readers to take away from this book? What are the essential lessons and narratives?
Basically, that Kropotkin was a realistic revolutionary who viewed the difficulties anarchists faced both in class struggle today and in any future social revolution squarely in the face. This is in contrast to the all-too-common picture of him as the gentle prince of co-operation who viewed the world through rose-tinted glasses. He was not – he was a committed revolutionary class struggle anarchist, as this book confirms.
The essential lessons are two-fold. First, is that anarchists need to, like Kropotkin, use the scientific method – look at the world, analysis it and draw conclusions. Second, as Kropotkin always stressed, anarchists need to take an active part in popular struggles and movements – primarily, but not exclusively, the labour movement. Unless we do that then we will not be in a position to develop the anarchist movement, libertarian theory nor see a successful social revolution.
Kropotkin argued this in the 1870s in the Russian Populist movement, in the 1880s and 1890s in the French anarchist movement and, again, in the 1900s to the Russian anarchists. He was right to and I hope this book will show why that was the case.
Never mind, ordered it on akpress and it finally shipped! Looking forward to reading it.
When is the actual release date for the anthology? I thought it was supposed to come out around the 17th, but it looks like it has been pushed back to April or May on some sites?

Terms of Service (TOS)
1. We can not guarantee than ANY of the "accepted" ptc sites will pay out. We can tell you is that we are using all of the ptc sites listed in our "a
" ptc sites and they are currently paying out.
What we CAN guarantee is that if Ptc Groups© receives funds from you for any of your chosen ptc sites, your commissions WILL be paid out to you and your matrix members.
2. Direct referrals are
. All direct referrals you refer will be placed under you as follows:
All new, current members will be placed into the straight-line matrix programs. That means that ALL new, CURRENT members will go under you..IF you are CURRENT.
If you would like to market for direct referrals simply request your own unique referral link.
3. You must join and maintain your membership at a minimum of 1 of our accepted ptc sites. If at any time you are active at less than 1 of our accepted ptc sites, you will be dropped to the bottom of the matrix and you will lose all of your referrals. If you are not active in at least 1 of our accepted ptc sites for 30 days your account will be deleted.
4. You must deposit your payouts within the time frame for each of your ptc sites into your Ptc Groups© account from at least 1 of our accepted ptc sites. If you do not make a deposit within the time frame for each site for all of your accepted ptc sites you will be considered "inactive" and you will be dropped to the bottom of the matrix and you will lose all of your referrals. If you are inactive for 30 days your account will be deleted. The time frame means the minimal amount of time it takes to get a payout for a particular site.
A site may give you 10 ads to click for .01 cents per ad or 1.0 cents per day or 30 cents per month. If that site has a $2.00 minimum payout the time frame for that site is: $2.00/30 cents= 6.66 months.
In other words, that site has a 6.666 month time frame. So, you must make a deposit for THAT site every 6.666 months to remain eligible for THAT site's matrix.
5. You must be active in at least 1 of our accepted ptc sites for the previous 30 days to receive a payout.
6. When registering at an accepted ptc site it is best to use your personal email address BUT when you receive a payout from that ptc site you MUST immediately deposit the minimum deposit amount into your Ptc Groups© account at
enclose (forward) copy of the email notification you received. The reason for this is that your up line is entitled to a percentage of that payout the same way YOU are entitled to a percentage go your down lines' payouts.
7. Any user found to be exploiting a bug will be banned
8. Liability: Ptc Groups© will not be liable for delays or failure in performance caused by acts of God, war, terrorism, strike, labor dispute, work stoppage, fire, act of government, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond our control. Ptc Groups© reserves the right to restrict, alter, or modify fees, benefits, rules, regulations, special offers, membership terms and conditions or terminate services any time and without notice. Ptc Groups©, its subsidiaries, affiliates and agents are not responsible for any products and services of other program participating companies or partners.
9. Assurance: Ptc Groups© upfront reserves the right to modify the terms at any time, with or without caution. We take no responsibility for violations occurred by Ptc Groups© members, it's your job to revisit the terms on a regular basis
All members are required to post an image of their payouts on the forum at:
1. By joining, you agree not to compete with Ptc Groups© by starting your own similar business or joining a similar business within a period of five years after you resign from Ptc Groups©. You understand and agree not to infringe on the intellectual property owned and copyrighted by Ptc Groups©
12. Any charges made by payment processors for deposits made by members will be deducted from the deposit. Should a payment processor's fee reduce the deposit to 0.00 no deposit will be credited to the member's account. Your payouts from Ptc Groups may be charged a fee as well and that fee may reduce your total payout. Please remember, these fees are
by your payment processor and NOT Ptc Groups.
13. Once you deposit your payout for a specific site into your Ptc Groups© account you will be qualified to enter the Ptc Groups© matrix for that specific site and start getting other qualified members under you.
So, as soon as your account at Ptc Groups© is credited with your sites' payouts you go into the matrix for that specific site and start getting qualified members under you.
You may be paid from Ptc Groups© once a month, but if you don't get a payout at one of your selected ptc sites within the time frame for that site you won't be qualified for that particular ptc's matrix for that month. Our payouts start around the middle of the month. (Remember, we have a matrix for EACH of our accepted ptc sites, so the more sites you qualify for the money money you will make.)
14. Marketing and Matrix Requirements
We designed Ptc Groups as a CLOSED MATRIX.
We have received a few questions as to how exactly a closed matrix works...so we will give you a good explanation of this type of matrix...and
First, let's look at a typical matrix or OPEN MATRIX:
A members joins early in the life of the open matrix and they are in the FIRST level. OK, now let's say a hundred more members join...NOT as direct referrals but as new members who joined as a result of the marketing by the matrix program itself.
Those 100 members ALL go into the FIRST level as well.
When a member in the first level refers a member, that new member would be placed under the member who referred them and go into the SECOND LEVEL of the matrix.
With the open matrix, if YOU don't market you don't get any referrals under you...and you don't make very much money.
That is the basic problem with MOST matrix systems...the members who don't market don't make any money because they don't get any referrals....and they drop out.
So, with the CLOSED MATRIX there is a limited number of positions in the first level...in our case we chose to have a straight-line matrix with
only 1 member per leve
l. As new members join they go into the next available position in the closed matrix.
Those who market benefit and even those who don't market benefit...EVERYONE BENEFITS! But we want EVERYONE to market a bit...as they can.
With our closed matrix EVERYONE who is current makes a commission from EVERYONE below them who is current..up to a point ...so, everyone who is current makes money and members tend to STAY with the program MUCH better than with an OPEN matrix.
The only drawback are those members who don't market at all because they feel that everyone else will market....well, that doesn't work either. EVERYONE NEEDS TO MARKET A BIT AS THEY CAN.
We wanted a way to give a MAJOR REWARD those who market but still provide a benefit for those who don't market.
The rules are:
5 CURRENT, direct referrals and you are moved to the top of EACH matrix you are in and collect all the way down each matrix you are in.
If you have zero current referrals you can collect only down 2 levels from each matrix your are in based on the date you became current.
So, you see, there is a MAJOR benefit of marketing...you fill the matrix faster and you get to KEEP your matrix position and earn from all of the referrals below you.
Now, we certainly understand they everyone simply can not afford to market...that is why we have given you several options to market for FREE...at traffic exchanges.
You do have to click ads at traffic exchanges to earn credits. Look for more information abpit marketing on our
Marketing Basics
Again, the MAJOR advantage of the closed matrix is that EVERYONE benefits from the matrix...the drawback of any matrix system is that some members never market and never bring new members into the matrix...so...
So those members who do some marketing will earn much MORE than those who do NO marketing.
Just remember, the members you refer must be current in the matrix for you to earn on all levels.
Occasionally someone who doesn't understand how the system works will sign up more than one time with the SAME user name. We try very hard to delete duplicate memberships but occasionally we miss one.
If a member buys referrals from us and one or more of their purchased referrals joins again and someone else buys that referral, the member who bought the referral FIST is the owner and the member who bought the same referral due to a duplicate membership will be given a new referral to replace the duplicate membership referral.
16. Requirement for membership
To maintain your membership at Ptc Groups you must refer at least one (1) new member every rollup period (1 month).
You may buy a referral from Ptc Groups for $1.00 to satisfy the requirement.
Referrals gained from participating in a marketing cooperative also would satisfy the requirement.
Free referrals received from making deposits DO NOT qualify.
17. All members are REQUIRED to take and PASS our FREE training program at:
Training Program
Failure to take and pass the training program will result in deletion of your account.
18. Deposits Made By the Admin For You
Occasionally we will run a marketing campaign where we offer deposits and free referrals to inactive members. If the member who received the deposit(s) from the Admin fails to make the next deposit in the matrix programs that had the deposits made by the Admin, all earnings will be forfeited, referrals will be lost and the account deleted.
If the member does make the next deposit(s) the amounts that were deposited by the Admin will be deducted from that member's earnings.
19. Free Referrals for Deposits
If a member makes a deposit and is a subscriber to our free forum they make request a free referral for every deposit they make. They may also request a free CURRENT referral for every 5th deposit they make until they have 13 CURRENT referrals, at which time no further current referrals will be given.

Planning Using Disclaimers
The Disclaimer is a valuable estate planning tool that can be used to adjust for unforeseen consequences of an estate plan and to achieve optimum tax results.
A disclaimer is an irrevocable and unqualified refusal by a person to accept an interest in property. The disclaimer must be a 'qualified disclaimer' to be effective under the Internal Revenue Code. If the disclaimer adheres to the requirements of the Code, then for purposes of estate, gift, and generation- skipping transfer taxes, the interest will be treated as if it had never been transferred to the disclaimant. The interest is considered as passing directly from the transferor and accordingly, a person making a qualified disclaimer is not treated as making a gift. Any person can disclaim an interest in property they are entitled to receive through inheritance.
People cannot see into the future and determine what the value of their estate will be at their death. A disclaimer can provide the disclaimant with flexibility and discretion at that time resulting in significant tax savings. For example, at the death of the first spouse, the surviving spouse can use a disclaimer to cut back on a trust not qualifying for the marital deduction to create a qualifying marital gift, and conversely, to cut back on a marital gift in order to use the unified credit fully or if one spouse's estate is significantly larger than the other's estate, a disclaimer can be used to equalize estates for estate tax purposes. The disclaimer may also be used to reject a specific legacy or trust interest and cause it to pass to grandchildren for purposes of the federal generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax exemption or to salvage a marital deduction where the marital disposition contains provisions or powers that would otherwise disqualify the gift from the marital deduction exemption.
To meet the criteria and therefore make a qualified disclaimer, the disclaimer must be in writing and be received by the transferor's legal representative, the transferor of the interest, or the legal title holder to the property. The disclaimer must be received within nine months from the date of death (for estate planning purposes) and the person making the disclaimer must not have accepted the interest or any of its benefits.
The disclaimed interest passes either to the decedent's spouse or to a person other than the person making the disclaimer and must pass without any direction on the part of the person making the disclaimer.
An estate plan can be drafted that provides for the transfer of all of the decedent's interest in property to the surviving spouse, and yet allow the surviving spouse to disclaimer all or a portion of the property in which case the trust document will direct the disclaimed property. Typically, in this situation, used to preserve the decedent spouse's unified credit, the interest will be transferred to a Bypass Trust. If the trust is properly drafted to satisfy the requirements of disclaimer law, the disclaimer will be valid and the property will be excluded from transfer taxes even though it seems as if the surviving spouse directed the transfer and will ultimately benefit from the disclaimed property. Only a spouse can make a qualified disclaimer that results in the disclaimed property interest passing to the person (in this case the spouse) making the disclaimer.
One disadvantage of disclaimer planning is that the disclaimant must be proactive and execute and deliver the disclaimer in the limited time required by law (9 months) for it to be valid. If the disclaimer is not prepared in the manner prescribed by law and delivered to the appropriate party within the time parameters, any estate tax savings will be lost.

49ers might get sack-happy in Arizona
Updated 12:14 am, Friday, October 26, 2012
If you can't say something nice about somebody, speak in vague generalities.
Jim Harbaugh chose that approach this week when asked about the "struggles" of the Cardinals offensive line, which has allowed a whopping 35 sacks in seven games entering Monday night's meeting against the visiting 49ers.
"It's a challenge for everybody," Harbaugh said when asked about Arizona's protection problems. "In this league, call it a struggle, call it a challenge. Every single week, that's a challenge and an opportunity for both teams."
Harbaugh was being polite - Arizona's front five has been unable to meet the challenge like few offensive lines before them.
The Cardinals are on pace to allow 80 sacks, which would be the second-most in NFL history. And, unfortunately for Arizona, their issues up front only appear to be getting worse: The Cardinals have surrendered 29 sacks in their past four games, more than seven teams allowed in 16 games in 2011.
Not surprisingly, their starting quarterback, Kevin Kolb, has been unable to withstand the beating. Kolb (ribs) was injured when he was sacked during a loss to the Bills on Oct. 14 and backup John Skelton is expected to make his second straight start Monday.
Monday Night Football analyst and former NFL coach Jon Gruden acknowledged the obvious: The 49ers' front seven should be salivating.
"Thirty five sacks in five games? That's almost unheard of," Gruden said. "I'm sure (linebacker) Aldon Smith, I'm sure (defensive tackle) Justin Smith and (linebacker) Ahmad Brooks, those guys are excited to play. Hopefully, the Arizona Cardinals can find some rhythm as far as pass protection ... Whatever it is, they've got to do a better job of protecting John Skelton or he's in trouble."
Arizona's offensive-line miseries began before the season. The Cardinals lost two starters, left tackle Levi Brown and right tackle Jeremy Bridges, prior to Week 1 with season-ending injuries. In their place, journeyman D'Anthony Batiste (six teams in six-plus years) has played left tackle and rookie fourth-round pick Bobby Massie has assumed the right-tackle spot.
According to Pro Football Focus, Batiste and Massie have combined to allow 22 sacks, more than 30 teams have surrendered this season. The 49ers' tackles, Joe Staley and Anthony Davis, have allowed eight sacks.
In a sign of Arizona's troubled times, coach Ken Whisenunt said his front five "did a little better job last week against a good front in Minnesota." Despite the modest uptick, the Cardinals still allowed seven sacks in a 21-14 loss to the Vikings.
The 49ers will arrive with 11 sacks in seven games, tied for 24th in the NFL. Despite the unimpressive total, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has been pleased with the pressure his unit has applied this season.
Aldon Smith said "selfishly" the defense wants that pressure to result in more sacks. The 49ers figure to have plenty of chances to add to their total Monday against an offensive line that appears to be headed in the wrong direction.
"Our biggest thing is we've got to capitalize on our opportunities," Smith said, "and get back there and make some plays and get some sacks."
Sad sacks
Teams that have been sacked the most this season:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Reps. Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11), a Warrenville Heights Democrat who represents Ohio's largely Black 11th congressional district, which includes the city of Cleveland, Dan Newhouse (WA-4), Chellie Pingree (ME-1) and James P. McGovern (MA-2) on Tuesday introduced The Food Donation Act of 2017.
The bill, which needs approval by congress to become law, clarifies and enhances coverage underThe Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act (Emerson Act), which promotes food donation by protecting food donors and food recovery organizations.
In essence, it extends protections to manufactures, retailers and restaurants that want to donate food to the needed but worry about liability issues.
Cleveland has a ppverty rate of roughly 40 percent, U.S. Census reports reveal, and ranks 11th nationwide among cities with 65,000 or more residents.
Neraby Detroit, also a largely Black major American city, exceeds Cleveland with a poverty rate of 42 percent.
The statewide poverty rate in Ohio is 16 percent, while the national poverty rate is at 14 percent.
"Food insecurity is an urgent problem in our nation, but there are businesses and organizations trying to help." said Congresswoman Fudge, who has a host of constituents that live below the poverty line. "The Food Donation Act supports them by increasing liability protections and creating new ways to donate while eliminating food waste."
Fudge said that the "bill goes a long way in helping to feed families in need."
Rep Newhouse agrees.
"The law should never discourage people from taking action to help their neighbor," said Congressman Newhouse. "The Food Donation Act will provide clarity and protections to farmers, retailers, and non-profits seeking in good faith to assist the hungry."
The federal lawmakers say their proposed reforms will reduce waste and save perfectly good food that could be used to help people.
"Fifty million Americans don't have enough to eat, but I am hopeful that innovative donation models can get more healthy, safe food to hungry people. said Congresswoman Pingree. "This legislation takes common-sense and overdue steps to address food insecurity. By easing liability fears, businesses will be able to donate more food that is safe and perfectly good to eat."
Congressman McGovern, a ranking member on the House Agriculture Nutrition Subcommittee said "America is the richest country in the world, but 40 percent of the food we produce goes uneaten. "
"This is astounding," said McGovern, a Republican like Newhouse among the Democrats of Fudge and Pingree. "We must work harder to stop this waste and make sure this perfectly good food is put to good use by helping to feed the millions of American families who struggle with hunger every year,"
McGovern said that "I'm proud to join my friends Marcia Fudge, Chellie Pingree, and Dan Newhouse in this bipartisan effort to update and strengthen the Emerson Good Samaritan Act, and look forward to working with my colleagues on the Agriculture Committee to make further progress on reducing food waste during consideration of the 2018 Farm Bill."
Nationwide, food insecurity, or the percentage of households who are uncertain they are able acquire enough food, is 13.7 percent. At 16.1 percent, Ohio ranks 6th in food insecurity. As a Member of the House Committee on Agriculture Nutrition Subcommittee, Congresswoman Fudge is committed to alleviating food insecurity and increasing access to fresh, affordable, healthy foods.

STOCKHOLM (Jun. 23)
Relations between Hungary and Nazi-Germany are becoming more strained as a result of disagreement on the Jewish question, it is indicated in German newspapers reaching here today.
Inspired articles in the Nazi press charge Hungary with being "obstinate" and attribute this obstinacy to the fact that "a powerful Jewish minority" is now making itself felt in Hungarian political life. The articles all assert that Hungary is "not removing the Jewish influence from its economic and political system" and hint that as long as this is not remedied to the satisfaction of Berlin, relations between Hungary and Germany will not be normal.
Pro-Nazi Hungarian newspapers reaching here today also complain of the "inefficient action" against Jews. The Budapest newspaper, Uj Magyarsag, charges that enforcement of the anti-Jewish regulations in the book publishing field has been eased. It demands iron-clad application of these regulations, under which only six percent of the total output of books may be issued by Jewish publishers.

Feeling LostI am feeling like I lost myself. I am feeling like what happened to myself...
All of this started since I moved to different country. This is my second time to move to different country, but this time, it is quite hard.
When I was in US, I think I was strong and independent person. I did a lot of things by myself, even road trip to different states. I loved dancing, I really enjoyed. I also studying for what I wanted to be. While, all the time I was looking for somebody special and spend my life with.
Now, I met that person and we moved to different country, since he got his job. I wanted to be with him, so I ended up giving up a lot of things and my favorite place to live.
Here I am now... I am depressed and weak. I feel like I cannot even overcome small things in my life. I feel like my life does not have hope. I do not have much motivation to do anything much even with my career. Where is myself, who was strong, challenging, and did what I want?? Did I lose myself somewhere? I thought I got what I want... but why am I like this??
The same here .. I regret leaving my country my family my friends my job my life I lost everything when I travelled with my husband to France it has been now a year I feel horrible I don't speak French well I don't have close friends I don't have an income I am just staying home cooking and cleaning and this is awful I used to be a hard worker i was so happy with my life so strong I don't know how I didn't see this coming .. Plus my husband very lonar doesn't have friends rarely we meet with some friends it is completely different than the busy life that I used to have.. Everyday I think of leaving him and going back to myself I don't know my self anymore I don't wanna loose my self along the way
So two days ago i was venting about how unhappy i am in the relationship that i have been in for going on five years now. He loves me but shouldn't. What i did to him was so horrible on so many levels. The damage i have done is unforgivable. He has lost his confidence, his self worth, drive the list can go on and on. I really think he can be such an amazing guy for a good girl. I would love to see him happy. He is not happy with me and never will be. He just doesn't want to be alone and wont let me go, again. Cause the last time i hurt and embarrassed him so terribly. So yesterday i was on Facebook, which i hardly go on. And i get a message from an ex of mine who tells me he misses me and will rescue me from my depressed life i am living in. He tells me he will buy me a ticket right now to go stay with him. He says that out of all the girls he ever was with, he has always loved me unconditionally. He said i can stay with him and he will never kick me out or tell me what to do... I feel like this is an opportunity that i should not miss out on. I have spent many nights crying feeling like i have nobody to rescue me from the hell that i endure with him every day. Dreaming of a way out but have nobody. Then finally yesterday my dream came true but i am stuck. I want to go but feel bad leaving him without anything. I have done that once before and it killed him inside. I am holding myself back from the life i should be living. I think its the guilt, shame, and lack of self worth. I think i just need a good kick in the ***. Please Help Me Anyone!!!!! I am a young talented beautiful girl wasting her life away depressed and using drugs. I want out but don't have the strength!
I think by staying with him your just torturing yourself as payback for what you did? You BOTH deserve better. Do not use him. Just move on. Make the proper adjustments within yourself to let go. I feel sorry for this gentlemen. I really do. Because frankly it seems like you purposely hurt him and when it was you left with nothing he welcomed you back with open arms. If you are not grateful, you should be. Most men would not offer what he's offered you. I sure wouldn't!!! LOL I mean, he sounds like he needs to let go.....but it's you that won't let him? I hope you two work through this and find a median. God bless you! Keep me updated?
I thank having a special friend, does not mean to move from your life and what you love. No one ales can make you happy. You have to be happy alone first and then that right person will come. I was married 2 times, both have pass away now. But what I said will work for you too. You are strong when you can see somthing has to change in you first, others will see that strong,happy person and want to meet you. Look for the same like's in your life. And don't try to change them, love and just except them.
hi jackie, though i havent moved anywhere, i understand what you mean when you say even little things become big issues, it's the same for me when i get to a certain day or hr. i will withdraw from evrything and everyone. i hide away or pretend i could runaway somewhere magical where all these things won't bother me anymore, but really i know i have to face my demons head on. i haven't even started yet myself but maybe you might be ready to. just tackle it one day at a time. turn and face those little problems and slowly you'll get your strength back and eventually you'll find yourself again
If you are not married, go home. Special someone does mean sharing things and places, but to be unhappy? NOT

Movie review: 'D-Day'
'D-Day' with an innovative story idea, adept editing, fantastic execution and good performances is immensely watchable, at least once
U/A; Action
Director: Nikhil Advani
Cast: Arjun Rampal, Rishi Kapoor, Irrfan, Huma Qureshi, Shruti Haasan
From the first scene, 'D-Day' takes you firmly into its grip and holds you tight.
An interesting story of a dreaded terrorist (Iqbal Seth) who's safely ensconced in Karachi, Pakistan, is desperately wanted by India. The RAW chief, Ashwani Rao (Nassar) plots a kidnap plan with the help of Wali Khan (Irrfan), a RAW agent based in Pakistan, Rudra Pratap Singh (Arjun Rampal), an army man-turned-agent, and two other agents, Zoya Rehman (Huma Qureshi), whose marriage is crumbling because of her dedication towards her duty and Aslam (Aakash Dahliya) a small-time crook manipulated into this duty.
The foursome is out to execute this daring but what seems like an impossible task with passion and dedication. Their perfect opportunity comes when Iqbal insists on attending his son's wedding much to the chagrin of the ISI. However, the real story begins when their otherwise foolproof plan fails and now they are on their own in Pakistan, frightened out of their wits but still determined to carry on their task.
Nikhil Advani's taut direction of this film, keeps you hooked throughout, just once in a while letting you off the hook to gasp and breathe. The story moves to and fro in the pace of a hurried man with a mission and for not a moment lets your attention waver from the story or the characters of the film. While the fast paced action keeps you on the edge, what comes as a relief is that even the romantic portions between Rudra Pratap Singh and a sex worker (Shruti Hassan), who he's cooped with to hide his identity, are tender, sensititve and original. In fact, one scene involving the two of them (describing the scene would be revealing too much) can easily be called one of the finest emotional scenes.
A mention has to be made of the convincing performance of actress Shreeswara who plays Wali Khan's innocent wife.
Most part of the film is shot in locations turned to look like Karachi, and they actually do. Or at least fits into our perception of Pakistan.
Irrfan is brilliant as he veers with ease from being a determined agent to a helplessly desperate father and husband. Huma Qureshi and Aakash Dahliya play their part to perfection, but it is Arjun Rampal as Rudra who amazes with a performance that is undoubtedly his best till date. Rampal, apart from looking as gorgeous as he does, comfortably displays a range of emotions with surprising deft.
Rishi Kapoor as the Goldman aka Iqbal Seth, the dreaded terrorist, is great to begin with but a little later starts disappointing a wee bit, as his character and the portrayal seem one-dimensional. And also what seems like a seamless, gripping drama in the first half, starts faltering a bit and almost stumbles in the end when the Goldman is allowed to give a long bhashan.
However, 'D-Day' with an innovative story idea, adept editing, fantastic execution and good performances is immensely watchable, at least once.

Women's Soccer
In the only home game for any CNU sport this weekend, the Captains will face Penn State Harrisonburg on Oct. 5. Looking to build on their first victory as a member of the Capital Athletic Conference, team scoring leader Emma O'Reilly and the Captains hope to advance to 7-2-1.
Men's Soccer
The Captains play their last home game against Greensboro College before going on the road again to face possibly their toughest opponent of the year. This Saturday they take on the seventh ranked York College in what could be a potential Capital Athletic Conference championship preview.
#15 Washington vs. #5 Stanford
The Huskies face their toughest competition thus far in week five, facing the Stanford Cardinals. While this is their first ranked opponent, the road gets much tougher for the Huskies; next week they face Oregon and then Arizona State. The offense, led by quarterback Keith Price and running back Bishop Sankey have put up at least 31 points each week, but the most important asset to this team is their defense. Ranking fourth in the nation at points scored against them, the Huskies have only given up an average of 10.4 points per game. They'll need to continue to play stout defense if they wish to slow Kevin Hogan, Tyler Gaffney and the rest of the Stanford offense.
#4 Ohio State vs. #16 Northwestern
A great overall performance by the Buckeyes led them to a victory against the Wisconsin Badgers last week. In his first game back from injury, Braxton Miller didn't look like he missed a step, coming in and scoring on the first drive. The Buckeyes may have one of the most balanced offenses in the nation; a solid running attack from Carlos Hyde and Miller along with a receiving core of Devin Smith and Corey Brown have averaged 48 points per game. Northwestern should have their hands full trying to contain the offensive attack by the Bucks.
#25 Maryland vs. #8 Florida State
For the first time since 2001, the Maryland Terrapins have started 4-0. While they have gotten off to an undefeated start, the schools they have played aren't exactly tough competition. The Seminoles, led by quarterback Jameis Winston, should make up for the lack of competition. Playing in Tallahassee, the crowd and momentum already seems to be on the Seminoles side. In their final year in the ACC, Maryland has its last shot at taking down the Seminoles.
Detroit vs. Green Bay
In what seemed to be their best offensive game last week, the Lions' offense was rotating on all cylinders, racking up 387 yards. A healthy Reggie Bush solidified Detroit's run game, contributing on the ground and also catching passes out of the backfield. A slow start has put the Packers in an unfamiliar position, sitting at 1-2 they are slotted in at third in the NFC North. Coming off a bye week, the Packers have had plenty of time to prepare for this matchup. I wouldn't call this a must-win game for the Pack, but losing would put them in a deeper hole, harder to dig out of.
Seattle vs. Indianapolis
A thrilling overtime win last week propelled the Seahawks to 4-0, while the Colts had their way with the Jaguars. The addition of Trent Richardson and the improved play of Ahmad Bradshaw have given the Colts somewhat of a new identity. Rather than being the past first offense they had last year, the two headed rushing attack takes some of the pressure off of Andrew Luck. What's been surprising this year for the Colts is their upgraded defense; only giving up 3 to Jacksonville and 7 to San Francisco. We'll see how the defense holds up against Russell Wilson and the Seahawks.
Houston vs. San Francisco
High expectations and slow starts have clouded the status of the Texans and 49ers. Sitting at 2-2, both teams have struggled to perform consistently on offense. With the Seahawks widening the gap in the AFC West, the 49ers must continue to get back on track. The Texans have all of the talent in the world, yet they are stuck in the third spot in the AFC South behind the Colts and Titans. I think whoever wins this matchup could start to get on a hot streak.

MADISON, WI, Feb. 11, 2016 /CNW/ - The Canadian Foundation for Economic Education (CFEE) has been honoured by the Governor of Wisconsin for its "Talk With Our Kids About Money Day" and "Money Fair" program (TWOKAM) powered by BMO Harris Bank. Wisconsin Governor, Scott Walker, presented the award to CFEE as part of his 2015 Financial Literacy Awards' ceremony at the State Capital. The Governor's Financial Literacy award recognized TWOKAM and its associated Money Fair held at The Business and Economic Academy Milwaukee (BEAM) in Milwaukee in April, 2015.
Talk With Our Kids About Money Day, a program created by the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education (CFEE), and powered by BMO Financial Group, is designed to get teachers and parents engaged in helping young people learn more about money and personal finances and prepare for their financial futures. In Canada, Talk With Our Kids About Money Day is held the third Wednesday in April each year - April 20th in 2016. In the United States, Talk With Our Kids About Money Day is held the last Wednesday in April each year - April 27th in 2016.
"We are very honoured that Governor Walker has recognized our Talk With Our Kids About Money Day program", said CFEE President, Gary Rabbior. "TWOKAM Day last year involved thousands of schools and hundreds of thousands of students across Canada and in the states of Wisconsin and Illinois. We expect many more participants in 2016. We want to thank our program partners, BMO and BEAM, for their commitment to developing the financial capabilities of our youth.
"BMO Harris Bank is proud of the work we do to bridge the gap between parent, child and teacher as it relates to conversations about money," said Wallace Harris, Jr., SVP, Head, U.S. Personal and Small Business Banking and Chief CRA Officer. "We believe this to be a key step in putting children on the path to financial understanding and success."
Highlights of the TWOKAM and Money Fair Program:

This is actually a profound question and one that has set me thinking. It speaks to the future of the profession–what directions it will take and in what ways. The current generation of librarians needs to prepare those just entering the profession, not only to survive in today's market, but also to become productive members of their own generation so that they can solve their own problems. During some times in history there are few changes and therefore the task is easier. But changes seem to be coming ever faster today, and those changes are almost impossible to imagine. For example, just 15 years ago I would have considered the possibility of scanning "all" the books in libraries an absolutely impossible act, but the outrageous company Google has more or less achieved it on their own terms (with the attendant idea that "if it's not available digitally through Google, it doesn't exist"). It's too early to tell if this idea will be correct or not, but there is c ertainly a lot of evidence that it is correct.
Trying to prepare people for this kind of environment is tough, and I don't know if it's fair to our younger members to conclude that "there are zillions of pre-RDA records out there that will need conversion." I don't know if that's enough or not.
One thing that the web does is to bring disparate types of information together, therefore our users are expecting to search "everything" through a single search. Therefore, all types of cataloging records/metadata records also will be retrieved with one search. Perhaps that's fair, and perhaps it's not, but based on my own experience, I believe it will happen inevitably enough.
So, it seems inescapable that catalogs following differing standards will be mixed up into single search results. I think this is what the younger generation must be prepared for, and this is a completely different reality than what we have faced before where I worried about my own catalogs and the rest of them can go hang. No matter whether RDA is accepted by the library community, I cannot believe that the other communities of metadata creators will follow either RDA or FRBR. Therefore, catalogers will–as will their users–inevitably come into contact with other standards and formats. Modern management will demand that these formats work together at some levels to achieve some level of saving of costs and labor.
I think students should be made aware of the differing standards out there, and see how the practice of each differs (e.g. how are corporate names handled by different agencies) but more importantly, that the main idea of "bibliographic control" has always been achieved through various aspects of "consistency" (apparently, even at the Library of Alexandria) and is still the basic method of achieving control today (although today "consistency" may be achieved through a single, shared URI). Even then, the URI must be linked to human-readable text, and students can see how that text can be shaped and molded by different communities and even by the users, themselves.
In summary, I think young people will need to be flexible and aware of this very wide world of potentially interoperable metadata, which seems quite different from what has been taught traditionally.
Oh, yes! They will also be needed to convert all those pre-AACR, pre-RDA records. But convert them into what? That remains to be seen.

I blogged about a new WiFi sensor earlier. So what do you do with a Wifi sensor? The cool thing about the internet is that you can involve anyone with a computer that has internet access. So that's where you come in. You can control my robot. From your the comfort of your chair, whether you're in Alaska, Madagascar or cruising the ISS.
Check it out here. Credits for the original idea go to Xander Soldaat, who made a similar set up with his NXT.
The controls are very straight forward. Keep in mind, though, that there's some lag between your control and the response you see. Also, if a lot of people try to control Alpha Rex at the same time, only one person is lucky to see his commands being obeyed. Just be patient. There's a field for a text message that will appear on the NXT screen.
It's hard to see from the webcam, but I will occasionally read what's being said if I'm around. I'd love to see where you're from, so perhaps just put your country in the text field.
This will run for a limited time only, so try now or never…

The only melee hurting this tier are dks/windwalker. Melee really need to calm down and take their frustration out on the outlying classes that are broken. That being warlocks and mages damage-wise and hunters class mechanics.

Regardless, as I've already said (and others mirrored), almost every encounter becomes easier as you stack ranged, while conversely becoming more and more difficult (to the point of becoming borderline impossible sometimes) as you stack melee.
I do like it how they did not go with the same way of dealing with it in SoO. It feels cheap and ranged use it as a cop out and doesnt solve any problems.
If Dark Shaman didnt exist, id be a lot happier. Although I guess a lot of people would be. Theres very little room between survival and death in that fight if something goes wrong and for melee more so, its very dependent on how everything is positioned.

A new Wisconsin ad from a super PAC supporting former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum goes negative on former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
A similar spot aired by the Red, White & Blue Fund last week was half positive and half negative; this ad is all negative.
"What kind of president would Mitt Romney be? Just look at his record as governor," the narrator says, pointing to taxes, slow job growth and of course the health-care law that Romney signed. He concludes: "We just can't trust Mitt Romney."
"Rick Santorum and his allies are getting more and more desperate as everyone else realizes he has no path to winning the nomination," said Romney spokesman Andrea Saul in response to the ad.
A new pro-Romney ad is also out today in Wisconsin; with the primary one week away, the negative ad wars are heating up.


text: Well, the barracuda fishing was a total bust. Not one. Clay, from Nervous Water Fly Shop, and I were scouting the mangroves along the stream way back under Nimitz Hwy. He said the tide wasn't right so we should go to Plan "B". Plan "B"... hook papio near the edge of the flats out in the lagoon. The papio were plentiful, but to small to grab the poppers and barracuda flys we were using. However, Clay kept pointing out the many large oio (bonefish) along the edge of the reef. "There's one. Look, 3 over there. See those 2 just to the left?" I must admit it was exciting. Even I could see a 6 to 8 pound bonefish when it swam accross the sandy bottom only 15 feet from the boat. Enter Plan "C"..... if the oio are there we should catch one. Remember now, our original objective was scouting for 1 to 2 pound barracuda and we were using 6wt fly rods and 12# test leaders. I thought back to the time at Christmas Island when a 4 pound bonefish whipped me good when I hooked it using a 6wt rod, I told Clay I would drive the boat and he could "have at it." The oio were there... it's hard not to see a 3 foot long fish that looks as big as your leg. Within minutes, Clay was hooked up, and line melted from the reel. The fish was already into the backing before I could crank the electric trolling motor into full speed and start chasing the fish. I don't care how good you are, a 6wt fly rod isn't designed for fish that big and strong. Fortunately it headed off the flats into the deep water of the lagoon. After about 15 minutes Clay landed the fish, just over 5 pounds. (lucky for him it was a small one) Clay insisted I catch one, then we could go home. Within a few minutes, and with no expectation of ever landing one, I hooked a 10+ pounder. (any fish that breaks your line is over 10 pounds) I was well into the fly reels backing when the fish cut me off on some sharp coral or rock. Wow, What a rush. Next time we go scouting for barracuda, I'm bringing my 8wt rod. Aloha, Stan Clay with his 5+ pound Oio at the "Secret Spot"

Javier Zanetti will reportedly become the Vice-President of Inter once he brings his glorious playing career to an end.
This could be the 39-year-old's last season as a professional footballer, but his future is set to still be on the blue and black side of the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, Inter chief Massimo Moratti will give the Argentine an influential position within the club's hierarchy.
Zanetti was Moratti's first signing with the Beneamata back in the summer of 1995. The versatile player recently celebrated his 800th game for the club.

Just after dropping my kids off at school this morning I noticed this fRickun cool car in the parking lot. The owner decided to have a little fun and place a large unlock sticker on the door (a la Apple's iPhone home screen).
It's fun, it's a bit ridiculous, but it's also an indication of how impactful Apple's designs have been.

Superman #677-680
James Robinson, writer
Renato Guedes, artist
DC Comics, 2008
32 pages each
$2.99 each
James Robinson's still-young run on Superman, of which these issues comprise the opening arc, is an odd duck among my superhero-reading friends. As far as this group is concerned in today's superhero-publishing climate, there's usually a pretty clear consensus as to which titles are good and which ones aren't. Allowing for outliers in terms of people who really like Jason Aaron or just can't get into Grant Morrison or something like that, a real schism is rare. Superman has provoked just such a schism.
If you ask me to judge based on this storyline–okay, extended fight scene in the shape of a storyline–it's pretty good! I can understand how some of the things Robinson is doing could throw some people. For instance, he's writing this weirdo staccato dialogue, particularly in the first-issue conversations between Superman and Green Lantern and the various members of the Science Crimes Unit. It's strange sub-Bendis pseudo-Mamet-noir stuff that neither sounds like how people actually talk nor makes up for that with sufficient style; you'd expect it out of a real newcomer, not a storied veteran of high-end superhero comics like Robinson.
But those hiccups sort of dwindle away after a while, and you're left to focus on the things that work. Provided you're like me and your ideal Superman comic is like if primary colors could punch each other, there's plenty. I've been a fan of Renato Guedes' open, strangely delicate linework and character designs back when he co-drew Geoff Johns and Kurt Busiek's memorable "One Year Later" (remember that?) Superman/Action Comics arc Up, Up, and Away!–still one of the two or three best Superman stories I've ever read–and he's in fine form here. His characters are warm and believable, yet he also cartoons, particularly in several fine combat sequences. Hi-Fi's colors give the musclebound proceedings a purple-pink hue that suggests both vulnerability and tumescence, which is what I for one want out of my superhero slobberknockers.
Meanwhile, the whole idea of the story–big huge dude shows up, should be a standard "Superman vs. brick" battle that Superman wins handily, but it turns out he's getting his ass handed to him and him and his friends have to figure out why before he gets killed–is a clever twist on the usual "Superman vs. villain of the month" stuff that I always thought was the lamest aspect of the modern-era version of the character, given that, y'know, he's Superman and it's tough to convince us he's in danger very often. (Kudos on that score have to go to Johns, who's been reliably tuning up Superman's classic rogues gallery for quite a while now.)
Superman's main antagonist in this story is the forgotten Jack Kirby creation Atlas. Naturally I'm in favor of bringing back any and all '70s Kirby characters to the forefront of the line, especially in a way that sort of captures how powerfully written and drawn they all were by instantly making them major threats. That's what Robinson and Guedes do here, including a shattered-memory origin sequence drawn in Kirby's style; trying to figure out how Atlas went from heroic but rageful Kirby barbarian to single-minded heel turns out to be key to the story. If, like me, you had no idea who this Atlas guy was before seeing him here–I just thought he was an attempt to take the Atlas character from Grant Morrison's All Star Superman and make him canon–you'll enjoy him just fine anyway.
All things considered, I'm suddenly a lot more excited to see Robinson trade eights with Johns during the just-launched New Krypton Super-event. I'm really rather pleased with several of DC's core properties at the moment, in fact; it's just nice to see someone whose initials aren't GJ or GM contributing.

Hello, and welcome to wayfarerkate! My name is Kaitlyn Knoll and I'm a 26 year-old who has a passion for backpacking solo. I created this site as a way to share my own crazy adventures and inspire other travelers to pursue their passions. I love when like-minded people learn to embrace their restless spirits and wandering feet.
Why & How I Started Wayfarerkate
At 19, I took my first solo backpacking trip through Southeast Asia. After that incredible four months, I knew that the wanderlust bug had taken root, but I didn't quite have the courage to pack up everything. At age 22, I decided I wasn't quite ready to enter the life of cubicles and computers. I packed my backpack, left my cute little apartment and closet full of clothes, and have not looked back since.
My travels led me to accept a teaching position in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This helped me realize that there are opportunities everywhere if you are willing to accept them. Since then, I've become and ESL teacher in Seoul and am currently teaching in Hanoi, Vietnam.
I started Wayfarerkate as a way to inspire other travelers and help people see that so much is waiting for you if you just have the courage to have a little faith and believe in yourself. Sometimes, plunging into the unknown can lead to miraculous things.
"Leap and the net will appear."
I am constantly dreaming about and researching new ways to get out into the world and experience more out of life. Travel is my greatest passion & my bucket list is long and ever-growing.
