This article by the venerable Bill Moyers at the Nation is a must read for anyone concerned about our corporate-driven government and economic system. It's enough to startle even the most cynical among us, and Moyers doesn't back off from either the "hypocritical" Obama Administration or our bought and paid for congressional leaders:
Moyers begins:
During the prairie revolt that swept the Great Plains in 1890, populist orator Mary Elizabeth Lease exclaimed, "Wall Street owns the country…. Money rules…. Our laws are the output of a system which clothes rascals in robes and honesty in rags. The [political] parties lie to us and the political speakers mislead us."
She should see us now. John Boehner calls on the bankers, holds out his cup and offers them total obeisance from the House majority if only they fill it. Barack Obama criticizes bankers as "fat cats," then invites them to dine at a pricey New York restaurant where the tasting menu runs to $195 a person.
That's now the norm, and they get away with it. The president has raised more money from employees of banks, hedge funds and private equity managers than any Republican candidate, including Mitt Romney. Inch by inch he has conceded ground to them while espousing populist rhetoric that his very actions betray.

text: Leadership CA sells business apps subsidiary Marc L. Songini @itworldca Published: December 28th, 2003Computer Associates International Inc. has at last decided to sell off ACCPAC International Inc., its software provider for small- to medium-sized businesses.CA Tuesday announced the buyout, worth an estimated US$110 million, saying it's expected to clear regulatory hurdles by February. The buyer is the U.K.-based holding company The Sage Group PLC, whose Best Software Inc. subsidiary also provides business software to the low end of the market.The spinoff has been in the wings for some time, as ACCPAC's core focus has been different from that of parent CA, whose main role is as a provider of enterprise management tools, said David Hood, president and CEO of ACCPAC. He noted the company has been functioning largely as an independent unit and had been expected to be spun off via a public offering. That plan was postponed because of the downturn in the IT market.Islandia, N.Y.-based CA last year sold off its other business applications unit, InterBiz, to SSA Global Technologies Inc.The ACCPAC acquisition will deliver to Sage a variety of applications, including human resources, CRM, warehouse management, manufacturing and accounting software. It also inherits more than half a million users and 7,000 channel partners, along with a hosted offering.The resellers are perhaps the major factor in this transaction. "The single largest key success in small and medium business market is the channel," Hood said. That applies both for the larger companies, such as SAP AG and the combined J.D. Edwards & Co./PeopleSoft Inc. duo, as well as smaller companies looking to get greater traction in the marketplace.The combined Sage/Best/ACCPAC family will have more than 4 million companies as customers for cross-selling purposes.Geography is another selling point. The buyout will give Sage an entry into places such as Canada, where it currently has no presence, said Best CEO Ron Verni. It also makes up for the lack of a hosted suite, allowing Irvine, Calif.-based Best to fend off online-only rivals such as Salesforce.com Inc. or NetSuite Inc.Currently, the only online tool offered by Best is an accounting application that has had little market success thus far, Verni said. On the technology side, ACCPAC also offers a suite that's fully integrated from the front-end CRM applications to the back-end accounting ones.No product lines are being considered for phaseout, said Verni, who also didn't give a specific date for when a technology or integration road map would be unveiled. "We see unique possibilities for each product," he said. Leadership applications, CIO, integration

"The Return of Martin Guerre" is a French movie filmed in 1982 by Daniel Vigne. The movie depicts real historical events in France of the 16th century. The important aim of the "The Return of Martin Guerre" is to educate the less known information about that period in history to the broad audiences.
In the middle of the 16th century in France, Martin Guerre left his wife and child over a fight with his father. Eight years later Arnaud du Tilh, a man who claimed to be Martin Guerre, came to the village. Bertrande, the former wife of Martin Guerre, claimed to know him as her husband. All other relatives and people from the village recognized him, too. However, the doubts started to rise, and Pierre Guerre, Martin Guerre's uncle, together with Bertrande accused Arnaud in deceiving them by being a fake. The situation became clear only after 12 years when a real Martin Guerre came back to the village. He did not have one leg which was shot off in Flanders. Arnaud du Tilh was hanged and Martin Guerre took his previous place. Bertrande was forgiven of cheating as the judge believed that she was deceived by the fake Arnaud.

At the first sight it might seem that Bertrande was just a simple housewife, tragically left by her husband, and who tried to keep together her soul and body. Moreover, she lived with the impostor for four years. But such a picture definitely did not suit Natalie Davis who was the author of the book "The Return of Martin Guerre" and the movie was based on that book. Bertrande seemed to be a very feministic woman who possessed "a concern for her reputation as a woman, a stubborn independence, and a shrewd realism about how she could maneuver within the constraints placed upon her sex" (Izgad, 2008).
A certain alteration of the events began even before Martin departed. The couple did not have children for the eight years of marriage and people thought that they were under a curse that prevented the husband to impregnate his wife. A 'wise woman' advised the couple how to behave in order to have a child. And after Bertrande and Martin "had four masses said by priest and were given sacred hosts and special cakes to eat", Sanxi, the son was born (Izgad, 2008). I support the opinion of many historians agreeing that it was very weird that the couple who could not have children at that time, stayed together for such a long time.
At this point we encounter the first feministic problem of Bertrande: She would probably leave her husband easily but the thought arises – either she really loved her husband or was simply scared of what he could do to her in case she left him. The author made it clear that nevertheless the fact that Bertrand did not love Martin, she decided to stay with him in order not to get back under the control of her father. Being much smarter than someone could think, Bertrand, in such a way, avoided living with her father, and was freed from the duties of marriage, that is raising children. "Then when Bertrande was ready for it, the old woman 'appeared suddenly as if from heaven' and helped to lift the spell" (Izgad, 2008). The situation was actually another fraud worked out by the old woman and Bertrande.Want an expert to write a paper for you Talk to an operator now
At this point, it is important to remember that in France of the 16th century women were secretly organized, going under a banner "along with the system, passing it on through the deep tie and hidden complicity of mother and daughter" (Izgad, 2008). Because of this I wondered whether Bertrande was happy staying alone after Martin's departure.
Daniel Vigne left the interpretation of the Bertrand's doings undiscovered and enigmatic making people think what was her real intentions when she did not tell the truth about Arnaud. Unfortunately, the feministic part of the book was omitted by the director which did not allow people to see that early but so modern significance of the real female 'honor', including the difficulties that Bertrande could have faced being a woman married, though without a husband.
Despite this significant drawback, the movie was very successful in challenging certain serious misconceptions in quite powerful and stimulating way making the audience to ask more questions to get to know as much information as possible. "The Return of Martin Guerre" discovered an unknown past to a much wider audience helping people to see what really had happened and how the people lived in those times: the French peasantry of the 16th century and their traditions, culture, and beliefs.
The women during that period were highly underestimated and even disrespected. The main role of the woman was to stay at home, take care of innumerable children who often died, and do all the chores about the house. In villages the situation was especially acute. It did not matter whether that was a father's house or a husband's house – women's duties remained the same. Being often subjected to the violent and aggressive treatment by the males, females were left only to do all the best for their men to make them feel good so they would not treat them in a wrong way again.
The main reason of such low treatment, in my opinion, was in the lack of education and high level of death from various deceases. Most of those deceases were the reason of unsanitary living conditions and hard work which was mounted on the French peasantry, especially women.
This was the way Bertrande was treated. However, she appeared to be much smarter than she behaved at the beginning. Robert Finley writes in his skillful work of "The Refashioning of Martin Guerre" that we should understand Bertrande's and Martin's marital life without children as nothing else but that they actually did not have a sexual intercourse at all (Finley, 1988). When the 'old woman' came to help the couple with her 'magic spell', the wife got pregnant immediately. If Bertrande realized the difference in sexual manner between her real husband and the fake spouse, she could also understand that her years of sexual abstinence did not allow her to learn her real husband better, therefore, she lost an important ability to discern the manner and look of her husband from the fake one. Arnaud, having some days with Bertrande before he appeared in the village, collected all necessary knowledge about her marital life, marriage in general, relatives, and even including intimate details. The first couple of people, who especially welcomed him home, were Martin's sisters, who Bertrande later on blamed a lot for misleading her.
However, all the facts showed, that Bertrande was quite understanding about who she was going to be with. The growing amount of historians agreed that Bertrande just wanted someone to share the nights with her after the long abstention and then quick impregnation as soon as she started real sexual life. On the other hand, we should not underestimate Arnaud either, as he was sly enough to deceive the sisters of Martin Guerre. One more reason that makes is very unlikely that Bertrande was fooled by Arnaud is that the author said clearly "there is no mistaking the touch of the man on the woman" (Finlay, 1988). Of course, not each woman could recognize the man by the way she was touched, however, let us agree that this point is quite strong to allow us to accuse Bertrande in dishonesty.
In the conclusion I would like to say that despite all the cheatings of Bertrande which are so well-hidden in the movie, I do not consider her to be a bad woman. She can actually be fairly considered a bright example of an early feminism, the woman who went against her father's will, her husband's faithfulness in order to feel how it was to be a real woman in all aspects of this word.

Lightloads.je has a fresh stock of quality oak sleepers that arrived in Jersey this week. Timber mills in France have had difficulty maintaining a consistent supply of the QP2 grade timber used to cut sleepers as a result of huge demand from the Chinese market which has syphoned in excess of 1.3 million cubic meters of oak out of France in a 12 month period!
Understandably the market has become difficult, the Chinese are paying premium rates and the price has crept up nearly 20% in the same time period and there is now a 6-8 week wait from time of order to delivery to Granville. Fortunately the euro exchange rate, now very much in our favour, has enabled Lightloads.je to maintain its 2014 prices.
At the same time we have sought alternative suppliers, as with the scarcity of the stock timber to work with in France there has been a tendency with some mills to send poor quality sleepers with badly cut ends, excessive rot, wane and infestation.
We're happy now to be working with a supplier further afield in Brittany whom has thus far supplied us with quality sleepers cut from correct specification timber with square cut ends, consistent lengths, no rot and minimum wane.
Sleepers are cut from Grade QP2 timber, a description of which appears at the end of this news item.
We have received this week a stock of 650 sleepers mixed half and half, in sizes
Quantity discounts for orders of 10 pieces or more
They're being advertised from tonight, and having run out of the last stock in a 4 week period, we don't expect them be around for long.
So….if you're considering purchase whilst the supply is there, the quality is good and the price is maintained don't hesitate!
QP2 Grade Oak
Sawn timber with tolerance of wane without limitation, leaving, on the faces and edges, a width of at least 60% of nominal.
Sound sapwood permitted without limitation.
Unsound sapwood is permitted on the edges to the same degree as wanes.
The only defect not acceptable is the presence of dead knots whose individual diameter exceeds one third of the width of the face or edge.
Black bore holes are permitted.
Deterioration caused by fungus attack is not acceptable on the faces.
Unsound or rotten knots are tolerated.
Slope of grain <18% permitted on one face and must not exceed 25%.
Not acceptable: stain and rot.
Face shakes of maximum 10 cm permitted.

HOPES are fading for a woman who fell into the Mersey after a massive search and rescue operation failed to find any trace of her.
A week after it was reported that a woman in her 30s had entered the water from the river bank at the Pickerings Pasture beauty spot in Widnes, Cheshire Police are still appealing for witnesses to help them confirm her identity.
When she was seen in the river at 12.38pm on Thursday, a bystander raised the alert, prompting a massive search operation by land, air and water. At least 30 fire and police officers scoured the coastline while the boats and aircraft carried out an intensive search.
Further attempts to find her scheduled over the following days had to be timed to coincide with low tide levels, on the advice of the Coastguard service which warned the rescuers themselves would be at risk during high tides.
Paul MacGugan, commander of Widnes Fire Station who was one of the officers in charge of the operation, described the waters along the Widnes coastline as 'lethal'.
He praised officers from the fire service, police, ambulance and Coastguard for their professionalism.

One of the Exeter Book riddles says: 'on the way, a miracle: water becomes bone.' Scholars agree that answer to this riddle is: ice.
But: climbing Cooper's Hill, and looking back at the curve of the Thames in the bright, cloudy light: the afternoon sun polishing away all grey or blue from the water until it is white, its edges sharpened by the angle of illumination, looking like nothing so much as a mighty rib-bone gleaming, set in the flesh of the land ... and I thought to myself yes, water becomes bone.
The answer ice identifies two points of similarity (hardness, colour) with bone; but my vision of the Thames identifies three (colour, shape, setting). Does that make it a 'better' answer to the Exeter Book riddle? 'Aha,' says the scholar, 'but your answer is over-ingenious.' And I think to myself: really? If ingenuity is really out of place in the discourse of riddling ... then where is it appropriate?

Utrecht researchers hope for ALS breakthrough
Last updated 2 years ago by Jon Wilkins
An experimental treatment by researchers and staff at UMC Utrecht offers hope for a small group of ALS patients. The treatment could potentially stop the deadly disease.
In the treatment patients are given an injection to prevent a defective piece of DNA affecting the body. About 7 percent of patients suffer from this form of ALS. With them, the abnormality is often hereditary. It affects about a hundred people a year.
Professor of Neurology Leonard van den Berg thinks there is a light at the end of a dark tunnel and has high expectations, though an equally hopeful study in 2011 did not lead to the desired result.
The researchers are still awaiting permission from their national body to broaden their research, but Van den Berg expects to be able to start the research before the end of the year.
The technique has already been successfully used in young children suffering from the muscle disease SMA. In addition, the disease was not only stopped, but also improved the condition of the patients. Van den Berg expects the same effect among the participating ALS patients.

– US Issues Travel Alert For Russia, Warns Of "Potential Military Clashes (Either Accidental Or Intentional)" (Zerohedge, March 14, 2014):
Just out from the State Department, which in the aftermath of the most recent failure by John Kerry to resolve the Ukraine situation, appears to be escalating to populism and engaging the general public. The best part in the warning is the following clarification: "all U.S. citizens located in or considering travel to the border region, specifically the regions bordering Ukraine in Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh, and Rostov Oblasts and Krasnodar Krai, should be aware of the potential for escalation of tensions, military clashes (either accidental or intentional)." Somehow we have a feeling we may be seeing a spike in "accidental military clashes" over the next week.
From the State Department:
Russian Federation Travel Alert – Events in Ukraine
The Department of State alerts U.S. citizens in Russia to the ongoing tensions in Ukraine and the potential for increased public demonstrations and anti-American actions in Russia in connection with Russian actions in the Crimea. The Department of State also alerts U.S. citizens in Russia to the heightened military presence and on-going military exercises of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation along the border region with Ukraine. This Travel Alert expires on June 13, 2014. The Department of State strongly recommends that all U.S. citizens residing or traveling abroad enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) in order to receive pertinent safety and security information.
The U.S. government currently has no information concerning active military conflict inside Russia as a result of regional tensions or of any threat specific to U.S. citizens. However, all U.S. citizens located in or considering travel to the border region, specifically the regions bordering Ukraine in Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh, and Rostov Oblasts and Krasnodar Krai, should be aware of the potential for escalation of tensions, military clashes (either accidental or intentional), or other violence, and the potential for threats to safety and security. Media accounts note there has been a sizable Russian military build-up in those regions and there are reports of an increased presence of Russian neo-Nazi and radical nationalist and extremist groups in those regions.
U.S. citizens considering travel to Russia should evaluate their personal security situation in light of current political tensions and the possibility of violence or anti-U.S. actions directed against U.S. citizens or U.S. interests.
The Department of State advises that U.S. citizens should avoid all public demonstrations, whether properly authorized by local officials or not, and avoid any large crowds and public gatherings that lack enhanced security measures. Demonstrations related to the conflict may appear anywhere throughout Russia, at any time. These demonstrations may increase the possibility of confrontation and violence. Review your personal security plans, remain aware of your surroundings, including local events, and monitor local news stations for updates. Maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security.
We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in Russia enroll in the Department of State's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). STEP enrollment allows you to receive the Department's safety and security updates, and makes it easier for the nearest U.S. embassy or U.S. consulate to contact you in an emergency. If you do not have Internet access, enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.

Lessons from a California landscape on designing a subtle approach to fall color
Landscape designer John Greenlee is serious about seasons. No matter what month it may be on the calendar—yes, even in October—he believes there should be moments that stop you in your tracks. At this sprawling wine-country estate, Greenlee and owners Sue Bloch and Igor Khandros have spent the past decade carving out an impressive five acres to do exactly that. "Just because we're in California," says Greenlee, "it doesn't mean we can't have fall color." The former kids' day camp and party pad of an ex-NFL player now features rolling meadows, forest enclaves, pondside views, and a collection of more than 200 Japanese maples and conifers. The result is lush and soothing through spring and summer but also ripe with eye-catching texture and glorious foliage that evokes classic New England color in autumn and winter. No matter the size of your growing plot (or budget), you can achieve a similar cool-season look with the following four principles.
DESIGN Greenlee and Associates; greenleeandassociates.com
Add midsize specimens that fill the
void between taller trees and low grasses. Compact dwarf Japanese black pines (Pinus thunbergii 'Thunderhead') fit that bill: "With a billowy branching habit," says Greenlee, "it looks like a thunderstorm building on a hot afternoon."
Don't fight soil conditions. If an area in your yard is wet and mucky—especially come winter—choose a variety that can handle that environment. At the pond's edge, Greenlee added swaths of hardy water canna (Thalia dealbata) that don't mind a soggy home. "It's plant-driven design," he says. "You just need the right plant for the situation."
For vibrant foliage that packs a punch come autumn, Greenlee recommends bald cypresses, gingkos, Japanese maples, mulberries, Kentucky coffee trees, and willows. In this case, he used an orange-hued bald cypress with bush grass (Calamagrostis epigejos) in the foreground.
Cut pathways through your yard for leisurely strolls. Trails get you out and into the space, and give you easier access for maintenance. "Make curves that open up to a big reveal," says Greenlee. Below, the path is made of Carex pansa and lined with Sesleria 'Greenlee Hybrid'.

The long-awaited 2013-14 Sky Bet Championship season gets under way on Saturday as Huddersfield Town visit The City Ground (kick-off 3pm).The summer has been a busy one for both clubs. Forest, aiming to go one better than last season with a push for promotion, have witnessed the arrival of eight new faces, while Huddersfield have added seven to a squad which narrowly avoided relegation last season.
The Reds are unbeaten against The Terriers in seven meetings and have won the last four encounters between the sides at The City Ground.
Opening day matches have generally been kind to Forest, especially when playing at home. Billy Davies' men haven't lost a home curtain-raiser since 1983 and have since picked up six draws and seven wins from similar fixtures, including a 1-0 victory over Bristol City at the start of 2012-13.
Team News
Billy Davies will have a selection headache ahead of the game as he decides which of his summer signings to include in the starting line-up.
Huddersfield manager Mark Robins has similar selection posers, especially up front. Goals were hard to come by for The Terriers last season and they have addressed that with the addition of four new strikers - Jon Stead, Martin Paterson, Cristian Lopez and James Vaughan, who was named Town's Player of the Season at the end of the last campaign after a successful loan switch from Norwich.
Current Form
The Reds go into this game on the back of an unbeaten pre-season campaign.
Last Friday's 1-1 draw against SPL side Motherwell concluded a schedule that yielded four wins and three draws.
Hibernian (N) - Won 2-1
Mansfield (A) - Won 1-0
Ilkeston FC (A) - Won 2-0
Chesterfield (A) - Drew 1-1
Royal Antwerp (H) - Drew 2-2
Walsall (A) - Won 2-1
Motherwell (A) - Drew 1-1
Huddersfield's pre-season preparations have not been as successful as The Reds' in terms of results. They only won once but they will be pleased with the goal return of their strikers.
Paterson has found the net three times, while Vaughan and Lopez were each on the scoresheet in their previous two games.
Chesterfield (A) - Lost 2-1
York City (A) - Drew 1-1
Guiseley (A)- Drew 2-2
Rotherham (A) - Won 1-0
Real Betis (H) - Lost 4-2
Oldham Athletic (A) - Lost 3-2
Down The Years
Forest wins over Huddersfield: 13 (12 League, 1 League Cup)
Huddersfield wins over Forest: 17 (16 League, 1 FA Cup)
Draws: 16 (12 League, 3 League Cup, 1 FA Cup)
Last Meeting
Forest fans won't forget the last meeting between the two sides in a hurry. The 6-1 thrashing of The Terriers at The City Ground last season was Billy Davies' first victory since his return to the club.
It wasn't plain sailing early on though as James Vaughan gave the visitors a tenth-minute lead. But a Radoslaw Majewski hat-trick and a perfectly executed header from Elliott Ward sent The Reds into a 4-1 half-time lead.
Henri Lansbury made it five after the break before Darius Henderson put the icing on the cake with an excellent header at the death, his first goal for the club.
The win was the first in a six-game winning run that propelled Forest into the playoff reckoning.
He Played For Both
David Phillips
David Phillips was one of Frank Clark's first signings in 1993 as The Reds looked to bounce straight back to the Premier League. The midfielder joined from Norwich City and went on to make 159 appearances for the club.
He spent four seasons at The City Ground and left in 1997 to join Huddersfield, going on to play 58 times for the West Yorkshire club.
Referee: Graham Salisbury
Assistant Referees: Andrew Fox and Danny Gratton
Fourth Official: Nigel Smith
The Reds are 4/5 to beat The Terriers on Saturday with Sky Bet, with the draw 5/2.
Last season, Adlene Guedioura's strike was enough for an opening day victory over Bristol City. The same score this weekend is 5/1, but those who think the game will finish goalless, which would be the fifth 0-0 draw in the last seven years, may be interested at a price of 9/1.

Toyota drivers relishing chance of equal fight at Le Mans
Sebastien Buemi and Mike Conway are relishing the prospect of a evenly-matched fight between their Toyotas without success handicaps at this weekend's Le Mans 24 Hours.
They are looking forward to the prospect of another close Le Mans battle between the two Toyota TS050 Hybrids in a race not covered by the system of penalties introduced in the LMP1 class for the 2019/20 FIA World Endurance Championship season.
That means they will go into the double-points race without any handicaps for the first time since the opening round of the campaign at Silverstone in September 2019.

Conway, who shares the #7 Toyota with Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez, told Motorsport.com: "I am looking forward to it because if you go in there equal, there are no excuses. It is down to the drivers and the car crew to do the best job they can.
"That's what you always want — a fair fight. May the best man win."
Buemi, who races #8 together with Brendon Hartley and Kazuki Nakajima, is also "looking forward to having a close fight with the sister car".
"The level of competition we had [at Le Mans] in 2018 and '19 was amazing," he said. "It was good to be part of that, even if fighting against your teammates is different — a bit more tricky, I would say — than racing with Porsche and Audi."

The Swiss driver added that that "it has felt sometimes that we've been racing on our own" over the course of the 2019/20 WEC campaign.
That's a reference to the performance differentials the success handicaps have created between the two Toyotas, as well as between the Japanese cars and the Rebellion R-13 that won this season's Shanghai and Austin WEC rounds.
Buemi said he understood the philosophy behind the handicaps, which was devised to close up the field and the championship battle, but suggested that the system is "too extreme".
The equation used to calculate the handicaps is based on a penalty of 0.01255s per kilometre for each point between the cars in the championship table. The co-efficient was originally announced as 0.008s before being increased.
"The ratio they chose is too powerful and has meant you don't have proper races," Buemi said. "Most of the time we've had the Rebellion, one Toyota and then the other Toyota each doing its own race — there was no fight between us.
"If you are slowed by three seconds and the sister car by 2.8s, then there's no battle. I found that a bit of a shame."
The handicaps kicked in for round two of the 2019/20 WEC at Fuji in October 2019, although the two Toyotas were equal again at round three at Shanghai last November because they were level on points at the top of the championship.
They were both penalised by 2.74s whereas the solo Rebellion that won the race with Bruno Senna, Gustavo Menezes and Norman Nato was pegged back by 0.89s.
The performance of the Toyotas is lowered under the system by reductions in engine and hybrid performance, while the privateers are slowed by the addition of ballast.

We've come to expect only the best from Flaxo. The NYC producer's lush melodic expertise and distinctive heavy drops has made his catalogue a consistent string of bangers that have yet to disappoint. Keeping things fresh, Flaxo has turned to the indie pop band Misterwives and their hit record "Reflections." The Misterwives track has that uplifting indie-dance vibe that made it a prime candidate to be given a heavy dance bite. Flaxo combines the best of indie and his own sound with his latest release, providing a hard-hitting moombahton flip with gritty bass lines that still keeps the original record's best attributes in tact. The track leads in with a soothing melody and percussion beat uplifted by the familiar Misterwives vocals that you will lose yourself in. But when things start to transition darker, you know you're in for a staggering drop that will make you want to break everything in sight. Flaxo's "Reflections" flip is truly a beautiful piece of work, and your library will surely be missing out without this record. Lucky for you, Flaxo is giving this one out as a free download. Check it out below, and look at your reflection in the mirror as this one drops.

The Upper Sac is one of California's great trout streams.
It has 30+ miles of public access, a great variety of water types, and countless wild rainbows.
We offer walk/wade trips on the Upper Sac.
Fishing can be excellent throughout the spring, summer and fall on the Upper Sac.
The Upper Sac is a little easier to wade than the Pit and McCloud River, and access is very easy.
For more Upper Sac dates, please visit our Online Booking page!
Rods, Reels & Lines:
Five and six-weight nine-foot rods are ideal on the Upper Sac. We primarily use floating lines. Nymph or Double Taper Lines are best for versatility. We occasionally use fast-sinking sink-tip or full-sink lines to fish streamers.
Leaders, Tippet & Indicators:
We usually use 3X-5X tippet on the Upper Sac. Come prepared with 7.5' 3X or 4X leaders. We use a variety of indicators, including corkies and yarn. For indicatorless nymphing we like the nymph taper fly lines with the bright red tip. Attaching a permanent butt section of 25# red amnesia also works well. We use split shot in sizes BB and larger on the Upper Sac.
Waders & Boots:
We use chest-high breathable waders on the Upper Sac. Spiked wading boots are not necessary. Wading staffs are recommended and are provided. Make sure to bring your own wading belt. All fishing on the Upper Sac is done while wading. In the middle of the summer we frequently wet-wade.
The Upper Sac is open year-round. Some of the most popular hatches include the golden and giant stoneflies, caddis and little yellow stones on summer evenings, and the October Caddis hatch in the fall.
Meeting Time & Place:
We typically meet our clients at their lodge or hotel at 8:30am. On some trips we may arrange to meet on the river.
Vehicle Considerations:
We typically have our clients ride with us in our vehicles. However, be prepared to follow us in your own vehicle.
Wading difficulty:
We offer walk/wade trips on the Upper Sac.
Waders and boots are required for all trips.
The wading is moderately challenging and wading staffs are highly recommended.
Felt soled boots are best. We do a lot of hiking on the Upper Sac.
Length of the Day:
Most full days conclude around 5:30pm. Half days end around 12:30pm. On many full days we take a break around 2pm and reconvene around 7pm to fish the evening hatch.
Please visit our Redding page for hotel and restaurant recommendations in Redding.
Some of our Upper Sac fly fishing trips are conducted on public lands administered by the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.
Confluence Outfitters operates under permit from the Shasta/Trinity National Forest on a non-discriminatory basis.

Getting onto a consumer's consideration list is one thing…staying there is another! Most brands know how many people are reaching their website following a Google search, but how many know where these prospective customers go once they've left the site? Then there's the question of why did these consumers leave and why aren't they coming back?
Throughout November, January and March we asked Australian consumers who were in the market for a new motor insurance provider to conduct their initial research online and tell us which brand(s) they considered vs. which brand they would finally prefer after initial research.
The following infographic shows how many prospective customers brands are losing between consideration and final preference as well as the evolving trends in what is driving brand preferences.
The Global Reviews Digital Marketing Effectiveness study is the only research programme that can truly show marketers what is happening with their prospective customers online. In addition to studying the research habits and processes of consumers, Global Reviews also assesses the usability of the individual brand websites, focusing specifically on how well the website aids the consumer when researching and opening an account online.
Contact us to find out how consumers are researching your brand and whether or not your website is helping or hindering them in the process.

So, I prepped the figure in the usual way; soaking it in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish- soap added, then giving it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying. I then glued the figure to a 1" black-primed fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue, and glued the washer to a tongue depressor with a couple drops of Elmer's White Glue.
I painted his base white, and when everything had overnight to dry, I gave the figure a coat of Ceramcoat "Matte Varnish". The next morning I flocked the base with Woodland Scenics "Snow" flock, and added a little bit of dried grasses made from a bit of unraveled twine. Late that afternoon I sprayed the figure with Testor's Dullcote.
I'm pleased with how this little guy turned out. It was a quick and easy paint job, and makes for character with a lot of personality.

Simply put: North Korea is China's proxy against the West. It could've been put down decades ago if China really wanted to.
ANY future attempt by the US to put a stop to madcap dictator Kim Jong-un's nuclear programme could spark a catastrophic war with China, a military expert has warned.
American forces could look to launch a "surgical strike" against North Korean army installations as the reclusive rogue state gets closer to acquiring serious nuclear capabilities.
But John Delury, an expert on China, warned that Beijing would feel compelled to defend its crackpot neighbour in such a scenario even though Chinese officials have become increasingly exasperated with its insane leader.
North Korea is technically China's only military ally, with the two Communist states having signed a defence treaty guaranteeing that they would leap to each other's defence in the event of an attack.
And although Beijing has tried to distance itself from the 1961 pact, Dr Delury said he believes a military strike so close to home would force the military superpower to retaliate.
He said: "How might Beijing react to a US pre-emptive or surgical strike on the North?
"North Korea is, after all, China's only defence treaty ally in the world, and is obligated to 'immediately render military and other assistance by all means at its disposal' to defend Pyongyang if attacked."
"'Surgery' would rapidly descend into a bloodbath. 'Pre-emption' would start a war."

I Don't Understand TwitterMarch 24th, 2014 by Potato
A little while ago a social media guru in our pubic affairs team said that you had to maintain a "presence" on Twitter by posting at least three times a day. We just wanted a place for people to get updates on a new project, which with lecture announcements might mean one quantum of content per month.
John Scalzi said that he was culling his follow list by removing the people who rarely tweeted.
I don't get it. I check my Twitter feed about once a day, and though I only follow 36 people my screen is always full. Those accounts are carefully curated so that I usually want to read to the end of a day's updates — but the general signal-to-noise on Twitter is atrocious. What finally got me to write this rant was friend of the blog @barrychoi tweeting about a new post on his blog eleven times in a single day! When people have really active Twitter accounts, especially with high levels of noise (like live-tweeting just about anything in depth, or just seeing half a conversation) it really turns me off. Following a couple dozen accounts like that and unless I just camped on the Twitter app I would start missing content — even at a miserly 140 characters the tweets add up.
And maybe that's the problem: so many people are so swamped by the uproarious nature that they just sample their Twitstream at random intervals, which forces people to re-post their tweets again and again hoping to catch the eyeballs of their so-called subscribers, which exacerbates the high noise level. Ugh, that's just not a game I can play.
Maybe it's because I use the default web-based interface rather than a 3rd-party app with more capabilities (i.e., doing it wrong). I believe the way people use Twitter is to politely follow anyone who follows them first, then mute them with the list functions of the 3rd-party apps. Or else there's something I'm just not understanding about the whole thing — which is likely given how incredibly difficult I find expressing anything in 140 characters. Seriously, my whole stream is basically poor-man's-RSS announcement of new posts, and tweets full of [1/3] multipart markers.
As long as I'm ranting: hashtags are really annoying. When used sparingly they can be used to tag tweets, particularly when trying to tag that tweet to something in particular that might not show up in a general search (such as #becausemoney for questions and commentary directed at the podcast). But just adding the symbol in the middle of a sentence makes it harder to read and doesn't help at all with the intended function — no one is out there searching for highly generic terms like #money or #Canada… and if those words were in the tweet anyway a search would pull them out without wasting a character and reducing readability. Without careful, conscious application, hashtags just become more noise. Oh, and "via" means "by way of; by means of" and is usually used to indicate who sent you a link you're passing along to your followers — putting via [yourself] is like talking about yourself in the third person, it's weird and off-putting.

I am on Twitter but I am not fanatic about promoting my blog on there. Honestly, I just post random stuff here and there (things I find on the web or like), reply once in a while to some tweets if I see them pop up and that's it. Otherwise, I'm not too fussed about being on there all the time "interacting with readers".

Twitter's more of a "talk to journalists, bloggers, celebrities, and news junkies" forum than anything else. I like to air my snark out in public… and talk to other people who share this strange blogging hobby with us.
I wouldn't say it's a huge service for the readers – you do get some people following you that don't tweet, but they're there because you're doing something interesting, really.

I have a copy of Twitter for Dummies if you'd like to borrow it. I've been to at least 3 "social media seminars" at various conferences over the past couple years, and I always walk away incredibly frustrated because they really didn't teach me anything, even the last one I went to that was supposed to be "advanced" for people already using some or all of the various platforms. I think the problem is that twitter is great for people with constant verbal diarrhea, not people like us who (unless we've been drinking) talk only when there are important, well thought-out, things to say, not simply for the the sake of hearing our own voice. What boggles my mind is that many many many people now have full-time, well paid jobs just to tweet! The CBC-KW morning show has a woman who just carries on twitter discussions with listeners in the background as the show goes on on the radio, and periodically they check in with her and she reads aloud certain tweets on the radio (which I really REALLY hate).
On a "WTF" side-note, I saw on twitter last night that you can now hire someone to "live-tweet" your wedding day, for a mere $3,000. For who? All your friends who are AT your wedding?
Also, have you seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57dzaMaouXA

I agree completely with you about the signal-to-noise problem that Twitter has, and also agree completely with the "talk to journalists, bloggers, celebrities, and news junkies" angle.
One good use I do find for Twitter is in getting things like traffic reports, TTC service notices (I'm in Toronto), various official bulletins and updates that I need to get on-the-go. For everything else, real websites and RSS feeds are preferable. IMO.

I definitely hear ya, I'm also old school like that, relying on rss feeds and mail updates for anything important I'd really like to follow. I used to think it was kind of cool to sum things worth sharing in just 140 characters, but now I see it's of no real use, and like very few other people I know – I guess I just don't get twitter.

Jakub Szántó (b. 1977) is a journalist and television reporter. He graduated from the Institute of International Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University in Prague, and also studied at the Central European University in Budapest. Since 1999 he has worked as a television reporter. In 2005 he was awarded a PhD. in Modern History. He reported on foreign news for TV Nova and since 2006 has worked for Czech Television. Since July 2013 he has been Czech Television's permanent Middle East correspondent. He has focused primarily on the Middle East and Africa, where he has covered a large proportion of international crises; prior to that he also covered the Chechen War, the Georgian-Russian War, piracy in Somalia and the revolution in Ukraine. Between 2003 and 2016 he regularly contributed to the weekly magazine Reflex. Szántó is the holder of the 2014 Open Society Fund Prague's Journalism Award and the 2017 Ferdinand Peroutka Award for journalism.
October 2018, 260 pages
Available material: English sample
The debut work by the war correspondent and Czech Television reporter in the Middle East.
Jakub Szántó offers an insider's detailed account of his experiences as a war correspondent in various corners of the Earth and different types of military conflicts and revolutions. He is professionally dedicated to his work, but he recalls his experiences in a personal, rather than objective, way. The dramas of front lines, child and juvenile soldiers, famine, destitution and the pain of war or revolution are presented vividly by an eyewitness who spent 20 years of his life experiencing them. The book is valuable not only as a personal testimony but also as a glimpse into the work of a war correspondent, a journalist in situations it is impossible to prepare for. As a history graduate, Szántó is also able to set the events he has observed and experienced in their historical context. The tragedy of the events related is softened by humour and irony. The book includes an extensive section of the author's photographs from the field.
"An unusual insight into the life of a reporter who risks his life and deliberately heads into danger at a time when the work of a journalist is risky in itself. Szántó's effort to be in the thick of it and find out what is really going on is invaluable at a time when some politicians are proclaiming alternative facts."
— iLiteratura
"Szántó unveils and demystifies the work of journalists in the midst of turbulent situations and unpredictable developments."
— Právo
"Fuck, drive smoothly! I don't want them to think they've got a reason to shoot at us!" I yell from the passenger seat at the technician, Michal Rydval. "If you want to get out, I'll stop for you! I mean, they're shooting at us." Smack, smack, vzoom. It's coming from the right, from my side. The bullets hit the asphalt and whirr past the car. Individual shots. Most likely a sniper, so probably an Israeli soldier. Ratata, tatata. That's coming from the left, from Michal's side. It must be a Kalashnikov, so that'll be a Palestinian."

Dennis Blair, director of National Intelligence, has drafted a panel of trusted intelligence experts to revamp the troubled National Reconnaissance Office, builder of America's multi-billion dollar spy satellites.
The panel, led by Trey Obering, former director of the Missile Defense Agency, includes several people who also advised Blair on the electro-optical spy satellite program recently approved by President Obama.
The panel, some of whose members Blair met with Thursday, includes: Marty Faga, a member of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board and a former NRO director; Joanne Isham, head of Washington operations for L-1 Identity Solutions and former deputy director of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency; Paul Kaminski, former undersecretary of Defense for acquisition, technology and logistics who recently penned a study recommending acquisition changes for the NRO; Tom Moorman, a VP at Booz Allen who was named by Space News as one of the 10 most influential space leaders; and Vincent Vitto former president and CEO of the Draper Lab, a private research and development company and vice chairman of the Defense Science Board.
The panel will examine every facet of the NRO -- its mission, charter, staffing, requirements, organization, funding and relationship to other organizations. It should report its findings by mid-June, according to a former government official familiar with the effort.
One source who is following the panel's work was highly skeptical of its work, reflecting widespread disillusionment in some intelligence circles with an organization that once was so secret its existence was classified.
"The panel is just another look at a terminally ill patient for whom last rites and pulling the plug is required," said this source.
The former government official said the NRO's death is not one of the options being considered by the Obering panel. Its members believe the organization still offers the country crucial capabilities no other entity could produce. However, the former official said that the NRO is being crippled by interference and conflicting demands from the many groups with which it interacts. Blair, this source said, understands the damage these conflicting needs and desires are causing the NRO.
A former senior intelligence official agreed that the NRO has far too many masters. "The DNRO [NRO director] now has a lot of bosses: JCS, USD(ATL), USD(I), ODNI, CIA (manning), AF (manning), and of course, four to six committees in Congress. These groups are all taking active roles, pulling the NRO in different directions, and the DNRO doesn't have the ability now to lead properly," this official said.
One of the key jobs the Obering panel will have is drafting a new charter for the NRO. The current charter was drafted 44 years ago, noted the former government official, and refers to jobs that no longer exist. A quick reading of the charter also reveals that many of the jobs once done by the NRO are now done by other agencies such as the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, whose creation was driven by technology changes that the charter's drafters could not have foreseen, such as digital mapping. The charter also endows the Secretary of Defense with final budget authority for the NRO, something that Defense Secretary Robert Gates himself overturned in a memo two years ago. That memo granted the DNI budget authority over any program funded with 51 percent or more of money from the National Intelligence Program.
In an exchange with Gates at Wednesday's House Armed Services Committee budget hearing, Rep. John Kline of Minnesota asked how the rewriting of the charter was faring. Kline, a Republican, is also a member of the House Select Permanent Committee on Intelligence.
"Director Blair and I are in full agreement on the need for a new charter for NRO. The only thing holding it up is the appointment of a new director," Gates said, putting his best intelligence community spin on things. The last director, Scott Large, resigned one day after Obama approved a massive new satellite system to be built by the NRO.
But the charter may be the last thing the Obering panel works on. The former government official said Blair was told by a panel member to hold off on writing the charter until the NRO's new missions and authorities have been determined. "You write the charter after you decide what you want to do," this source said.
Also, the chase for a new NRO director faces rough ground. Three sources told us that numerous candidates have been approached and have turned the job down. The former intelligence official said the new charter may have to be written before they can get a new director, which might complicate Gates' life. "I'm guessing that they are having a hard time getting a great leader to fill the position, and a clarifying charter might very well be a condition to get someone great," the former intelligence official said.

Trump and the Carrier Deal
On December 3rd, I spoke with Neil Cavuto, Kennedy and Charles Payne on Fox News concerning President Elect Trump's action after Carrier, a division of United Technology, announced that it was going to move 2,100 factory jobs to Mexico. The president-elect announced that he would make them keep the jobs in the U.S. The initial claim for the negotiations the Trump had with Carrier was the 1,100 jobs would be saved, but at this point, it looks like around 300 of those jobs were white collar positions that were never going to Mexico in the first place. The total number of jobs remaining in the U.S. is expect to be around 800.
In order to keep those 800 jobs in the country, Carrier was granted about $7 million in tax breaks paid out over 10 year, which means $875 per worker per year. That's a pretty small number when comparing the cost of labor in the U.S. versus Mexico.
A more plausible story is that some discussions were had concerning the $6.7 billion in federal contracts held by Carrier's parent company, United Technologies. While I'm all for reducing taxes and regulation, making the U.S. a more competitive place for companies to do business, I'm not too happy to see the power of the White House used to force a company to do something that it originally believed was not in the best interest of its shareholders.

UNIONS have warned West Yorkshire NHS Blood Service workers could strike over jobs.
Trade union Amicus said plans to close 14 centres in England, including one in Leeds, threatened the loss of hundreds of highly skilled technical and scientific staff.
The union complained the changes were being made without proper consultation.
The Leeds centre arranges blood collection sessions in Huddersfield.
A lobby of MPs is being planned and Amicus said it will ballot 2,000 workers for industrial action if the closures go ahead.
National officer Kevin Coyne said: "This mirrors exactly what is wrong with the NHS reform agenda. Modernisation is being rushed through without engagement and consultation with either staff or local communities.
"Hundreds of technical and scientific staff jobs are being put at risk."
A spokeswoman for the service said talks had been held with unions for a number of years about planned changes which will include moving the processing and testing of blood.
The changes were being planned partly because some facilities were in need of being upgraded and partly because there was less demand for blood.
The spokeswoman said it was too early to put a figure on how many jobs could be lost, but the plan would take five years and the service hoped to avoid compulsory redundancies.

Polina Zyaparova had a clear future direction mapped out when she applied to study at the University of Helsinki. The decision to apply to the University of Helsinki was born out of her desire to develop her own competence in the leading peace-mediating country in the world.
Polina Zyaparova had a clear goal in mind: "I want to work in peace promotion and conflict prevention as well as to find ways to successfully build peace."
In addition to the esteem of the University of Helsinki, Finland's reputation as one of the leading peace-mediating countries in the world was important to the Russia-bred Polina. For an international student it was natural to consider the choice also from these perspectives.
"I knew that the competence acquired here would help me a great deal in the future," says Polina.
At the roots of complex peace processes
Polina is studying in the international Religion, Conflict and Dialogue Master's Programme, which is currently a part of the International Encounters Programme. The multidisciplinary programme studies religion and conflicts from a variety of perspectives. It has helped Polina to perceive peace work as a comprehensive process, which does not end in the signing of a peace treaty.
"It is often thought that a conflict is resolved simply by signing the peace treaty", says Polina. "However, after that you have to take into account the whole post-conflict process: unification, trauma recovery and mediation between the parties."
Polina sees her studies as not only providing her with practical know-how in peace work and conflict prevention but also an ability to interpret the world in a more comprehensive manner. These tools are increasingly in demand.
"The programme helps you to interpret world events. It teaches you to listen to different opinions, put yourself in other person's position and understand their perspective."
Student community supports international students
Polina appreciates the international atmosphere at the university as well as professors providing students with personal supervision. The international student community has supported her in her move to a new country and has enriched her thinking in many ways.
"During your studies you get to exchange ideas with others, hear various points of view and discuss issues in an international environment," says Polina. "This makes you better prepared when you run across these same situations in working life."
One of the strengths of the University of Helsinki is that it is a multidisciplinary university, which has increased Polina's understanding of the elements affecting peace work. "I have learned a great deal, for example, about international law, humanitarian law and developing countries. By the time I graduate, I will have a comprehensive understanding of these issues. After all, they are all tied together."
Apply to the University of Helsinki
The University of Helsinki is one of the leading multidisciplinary universities in the world. Our teaching is based on research conducted in an international environment. Together we seek solutions to global problems.
One of the many study options at the University of Helsinki is the Master's Programme in Intercultural Encounters. A good basis for the Master's programme is provided, for example, by a number of bachelor's programmes in theology, the humanities or social sciences.
