by Stephen J. Sniegoski (Author), Paul Findley (Foreword), Paul Gottfried (Preface)
"This is a riveting book." —Paul Craig Roberts, PhD, syndicated columnist; former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury; and former associate editor, Wall Street Journal
"The time is right for an unvarnished examination of the origins, history, and agenda of the neoconservative policy bloc in Washington and in Tel Aviv. The Transparent Cabal helps to provide one." —Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, USAF (ret.), PhD
"The timing of Dr. Sniegoski's book could not be better. The only aspect of U.S. Middle East policy not in controversy is that no one knows what to do; Sniegoski's book may help the debate break through this barrier." —Joseph Douglass Jr., PhD, author, America the Vulnerable: The Threat of Chemical/Biological Warfare and Red Cocaine: The Drugging of America
"I have known Dr. Sniegoski for many years. He is a thorough researcher with a capacity for independent thought and the courage to advance and defend his analyses." —Wayne S. Cole, PhD, professor emeritus, University of Maryland
"Sniegoski leaves no stone unturned in exposing the Israeli-neocon alliance and its catastrophic consequences in the Middle East. Timely and important, his book should provoke a much-needed debate about who truly benefits from current US policies in the region." —Jonathan Cook, author, Israel and the Clash of Civilisations
"That the security of Israel has been central to the foreign-policy worldview of the neo-conservatives is one of the least discussed and most taboo aspects of the movement. Sniegolski has long been among the most dogged researchers who have tried to bring this to light." —Jim Lobe, Washington Bureau Chief, Inter Press Service (IPS).
"Sniegoski breaks new ground and pulls no punches in his analysis of the neocon-driven policies that brought about war with Iraq. He broadens the inquiry into many areas that desperately need sunshine and clarity." —Philip Giraldi, former CIA officer, partner in Cannistraro Associates, national security consultants, and contributing editor, The American Conservative
"Telling the truth in America today is more professionally risky than ever before, but happily Sniegoski couldn't care less. His rendition of recent American history is utterly absorbing." —Thomas Woods, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author, The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History
Product Description
Although it is generally understood that American neoconservatives pushed hard for the war in Iraq, this book forcefully argues that the neocons' goal was not the spread of democracy, but the protection of Israel's interests in the Middle East. Showing that the neocon movement has always identified closely with the interests of Israel's Likudnik right wing, the discussion contends that neocon advice on Iraq was the exact opposite of conventional United States foreign policy, which has always sought to maintain stability in the region to promote the flow of oil. Various players in the rush to war are assessed according to their motives, including President Bush, Ariel Sharon, members of the foreign-policy establishment, and the American people, who are seen not as having been dragged into war against their will, but as ready after 9/11 for retaliation.

PORTLAND, Ore. — An Oregon judge has granted a man's request to be identified as "genderless" and to have no last name.
Multnomah County Judge Amy Holmes Hehn granted Patrick Abbatiello a "General Judgment of Name and Sex Change" on March 10, allowing him to be listed as "a-gender" and to legally change his name to his nickname "Patch."
"As a kid, probably starting around age six, gender didn't make sense to me," Abbatiello told reporters. "I was told 'men were this, women were this.' As a teen I learned about transgender people, and that didn't seem like what I was. And then I learned about genderqueer, and that didn't seem like what I was."
"It's not that I decided I was genderless—that's just how it is," he said. "I never felt like I fell within any part of the gender spectrum. None of the binary options, nothing in-between."
Abbatiello said that he doesn't like to be referred to as he or she, or even they.
"Even gender-neutral pronouns don't feel as if they fit me. I feel no identity or closeness with any pronouns I've come across," he stated. "What describes me is my name."
Abbatiello, 27, attends Portland Community College and works as a game designer.
As previously reported, last June, Judge Hehn also granted a man's request to be recognized as non-binary.
Jamie Shupe was born male, served in the military and married a woman. But in 2013, as he found himself struggling with his gender identity, Shupe decided to seek treatments that would make him look and feel feminine.
"I figured I was a transgender woman. My thinking was, well, I'm not a male," Shupe told reporters. "I was in a deep, dark depression because I had boxed myself into this male identity that I couldn't stand anymore."
But after taking hormonal treatments and wearing women's clothing, Shupe still wasn't satisfied. It didn't feel right trying to live as a female.
"Now, I'm suddenly telling my spouse I'm the same thing she is? It didn't make sense to me," Shupe told The Guardian. "No amount of hormones is going to make me look like a female."
He also had no intention of having a sex change operation. So, he decided to be neither.
"I was assigned male at birth due to biology. I'm stuck with that for life. My gender identity is definitely feminine. My gender identity has never been male, but I feel like I have to own up to my male biology," Shupe told the Oregonian. "Being non-binary allows me to do that. I'm a mixture of both. I consider myself as a third sex."
Isaiah 45:9 reads, "Woe unto him that striveth with His Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the Earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, 'What makest thou?' or thy work, 'He hath no hands?'"
Romans 9:20 also states, "Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, 'Why hast thou made me thus?'"

Is the annual performance review on its way out? While it's hard to say conclusively, one thing is sure: More companies are taking a fresh look at how they provide feedback and align their corporate goals with the work professionals do day-to-day. This is especially true within newer tech companies, where managers can often take a more flexible approach and younger workers expect to receive feedback a lot more often than once a year.
In large part, the change is being driven by the demands of Millennials. Whereas Baby Boomers often approach work with an attitude of "tell me what you need to get done," Millennials want their work life to double as a learning experience. "For that to happen, they need more feedback," said Wendy Pat Fong, director of customer success and operations at 7Geese, a Vancouver-based maker of social performance management tools. "They'll leave if they don't get it."
Companies are responding to that Millennial need for feedback. In 2012, for example, Adobe replaced its annual performance reviews with a system it calls "Check In." Unlike the traditional, highly regimented review process, Check In allows managers a lot of leeway in how they approach performance conversations, as long as they follow certain principles: Meetings must take place at least quarterly, the manager must set clear expectations, and the employee must provide feedback, as well.
In practice, many Adobe managers are having Check In conversations monthly or even weekly. In a blog post, Donna Morris, Adobe's senior vice president of people & places, credited Check In with improving the company's retention.
What It Means for You
Within the broader tech industry, all this means a number of changes are afoot:
- Feedback won't be an annual thing anymore. As more companies put new performance management programs in place, employees can expect to get feedback much more frequently, maybe even in real-time. At some businesses, conversations about performance may happen as soon as a project wraps up or a meeting concludes.
- Feedback will come from people besides your manager. Many tools facilitate feedback from all parts of an organization, including your peers and managers from other teams or departments. With these tools in place, users can solicit feedback on their own, so employees won't have to rely on another person's whims to get comments. Lest you think you're being placed under a microscope, however, feedback from outside your chain of command is often kept private: Your manager doesn't see it and it won't be considered as a part of your salary review.
- There'll be fewer excuses for everyone: One of the drivers of these changes is the idea that a professional's work should closely align with the company's business goals. In light of that, managers find themselves under increasing pressure to make sure you understand what you're expected to accomplish and how it fits into the big picture. At the same time, you'll be expected to ask more questions and provide your own feedback on the company's business and your manager's approach.
- Conversations still matter: No matter what tools your employer might introduce to the process, your face-to-face discussions remain hugely important. As Fong observed: "The [tools are] only about 20 percent of all this."
How to Succeed
These are big changes, and they require you to take a different approach to managing feedback. Some tips:
- Participate: Have opinions about your team, department, and company, and share them during conversations with your manager. Productive conversations aren't one-sided.
- Take advantage of the process: Whatever program your company puts in place, use it in ways that can truly help you improve. Be proactive about asking your peers for feedback, and don't limit yourself to those who you think will say nice things; you can learn a lot from someone who disagreed with you on some aspect of a project. On the flip side, when someone asks you to provide feedback, respond in a timely manner.
- Learn to listen: Even in the best of circumstances, listening to feedback can be awkward. Go into conversations with the assumption that your manager intends to share helpful observations, and avoid getting defensive.
As feedback develops into an ongoing proposition, each exchange becomes part of a whole, not an end unto itself. The dynamics of performance management are changing to provide more opportunities for professionals to understand and influence their role in the business. "Traditional employee reviews are very manager-initiated," Fong said. "This is more about the employee owning their performance."

2017 Westmoreland Fair
The Westmoreland Fair celebrates 63 years in 2017.
The Westmoreland Fair celebrates 63 years in 2017.
The Westmoreland Fair celebrates 63 years in 2017; in 1954 a group of local farmers and businessmen with an interest and passion for agriculture in Westmoreland County established and incorporated the Westmoreland Agricultural Fair and Recreation Association. In the very beginning of the Westmoreland Agricultural Fair and Recreation Association, the Fair organized by the Association was held at Idlewild Park, located in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. At that time the Fair lasted only three days and was attended primarily by 4-H exhibitors, their families and by people who just happened to be attending the amusement park.
To learn more about the fair, click here.
By 1957 there was a need to grow and the Fair's charter members purchased a 170 acre farm near the village of Mutual. That first year, organizers built a veritable tent city to accommodate all the exhibits and animals.
Over the years the Fair's Board of Directors focused efforts on adding permanent buildings to house a growing fair. Today, there are 20 buildings including barns, pavilions, and small arena – complete with stage. In 1990 the fair constructed a new Grandstand Arena complete with roof and with seats for 5,600 and room to expand audiences to more than 8,000. Since 1990 there have been 3 businesses that have held the naming sponsorship of the grandstand arena with Peoples Gas becoming the naming sponsor in 2010.
Westmoreland Fairgrounds is the site of other attractions throughout the year including: the Westmoreland County Home Show, Rib Festival, the Labor Day Pennsylvania Arts & Crafts Colonial Festival, and the magical Overly's Country Christmas Light Display from November through January. In the past the fairgrounds has been the host venue for 4 – Rolling Rock Town Fair Concerts, auctions, livestock shows, car shows, demolition derbies, rodeos, the Westmoreland Rib & Wing Festival as well as antique shows, gun
shows, horse shows, Motocross racing.
The Association is NOT affiliated with Westmoreland County and does NOT receive any money to operate the fair or any other events held on the grounds throughout the year. The volunteer board of 21 director's work tirelessly throughout the year to see that the grounds are rented to various organizations to hold events to raise money to help in the maintenance and operations of the grounds and the fair.
Includes parking, amusement rides, admission to all commercial and agricultural
exhibits, and judging exhibitions. Does NOT include Admission to
the grandstand.

Much like Todd Bertuzzi, it seems like Steve Downie's reputation haunts him when it comes to penalties. The Tampa Bay Lightning power forward delivered some ugly hits – especially earlier in his career with the Philadelphia Flyers – and sometimes it seems like those moments are held against him. Sure, he's still a bit of a troublemaker anyway, but it's almost as if officials hold a flashlight to the skeletons in his closet on a game-by-game basis.
Some of the calls from Game 4 and 5 bring that concept to mind. Many people were rightly upset that Downie received a diving/embellishment penalty when he was the victim of a boarding hit in Game 4. Downie was on the wrong end of the whistle twice in Game 5: once by receiving a boarding penalty after hitting Johnny Boychuk and another time when Andrew Ference didn't receive a minor for tripping Downie.
It was enough to make even a thick-skinned pest upset, which was revealed tellingly when he was seen stewing by himself on the Lightning bench following the game.
It's been a rough couple games for Downie, but there is at least some reason for relief: he won't receive a fine or suspension for that hit on Boychuk according to TSN's Bob McKenzie. The check seemed a little late, but not especially egregious compared to some of the hits that went without supplemental discipline in the 2011 playoffs. That being said, feel free to make a case for a fine and/or suspension in the comments.
This is a great break for the Lightning and Downie. He's been a real asset for the team in the 2011 playoffs when he hasn't been taking penalties (40 PIM in 15 games), with a near-point per game rate of 12 points in the postseason. We'll see if this is a sign that luck is swinging Tampa Bay's way after they were snake-bitten in Game 5.

New York Islanders vs. Boston BruinsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
GAME: New York Islanders (24-20-5-1) at Boston Bruins (22-14-11-4).
TIME: Thursday, 7:30 p.m. EST.
The Boston Bruins have their captain back in the lineup. The New York Islanders are still waiting for theirs.
New York will likely be without captain Michael Peca for a third straight game when the Islanders complete a home-and-home series against Joe Thornton and the Boston Bruins at the FleetCenter.
These teams played to a 2-2 tie at Nassau Coliseum on Tuesday.
Trent Hunter continued his outstanding rookie season with two goals for the Islanders, but P.J. Axelsson's goal with 1:57 left in regulation salvaged a point for the Bruins.
``It's very disappointing,'' Islanders goalie Rick DiPietro said. ``It's a point we let slip away against a team we're chasing in the standings.''
Thornton, the team leader with 34 assists and 45 points, returned to Boston's lineup after missing three games with a fractured cheekbone. Thornton, wearing a cage to protect his face, assisted on Glen Murray's first-period goal.
``He looked to me like he really didn't miss a beat,'' Bruins coach Mike Sullivan said. ``For having some time off, I thought he had a pretty solid game for us.''
Thornton was injured Jan. 10 in a fight with Eric Lindros of the New York Rangers.
``It was fine. The cage kind of saved my face from two high sticks so I was kind of lucky I had it tonight,'' Thornton said.
Peca was scratched for the second consecutive game Tuesday because of a chest muscle injury.
Peca's injury is particularly damaging because the Islanders are already missing top center Alexei Yashin and forward Mark Parrish, who are both expected to be out until March.
The Islanders have played well despite the absence of three of their best players, going 4-1-2 to pull within two points of Montreal for seventh in the Eastern Conference.
DiPietro, unbeaten in a career-best five straight games (4-0-1), figures to make his fourth consecutive start Thursday. During his unbeaten streak, DiPietro has allowed eight goals on 150 shots for a .947 save percentage.
Boston, sixth in the East playoff standings, is 0-2-1 after losing just one of its previous 10 games (8-1-1).
Felix Potvin started against his former team Tuesday, stopping 26 of 28 shots. Rookie Andrew Raycroft could be back in net for Boston on Thursday after losing his past two starts.

Pumpkin (and by extension, pumpkin spice) is known as the premiere flavor of fall, and for good reason: It's sweet, spicy and heartwarming all at once. But besides being the perfect flavor accompaniment to watching the leaves change, pumpkin is also a versatile ingredient that delivers impressive health perks. Read on for everything you need to know to enjoy pumpkin to its fullest this season.
Why Eat It: Despite being primarily used as a drink flavor or as a doorstep decoration, pumpkin is actually highly nutritious. It is incredibly rich in vitamin A and beta carotene (which the body converts to vitamin A), nutrients that are key for healthy eyes, a powerful immune system and strong cell growth. It contains antioxidants and other nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, vitamin E and folate to help protect the body from stress and inflammation and the problems that can result from those. Pumpkin is also incredibly nutrient-dense, meaning it is high in nutrients and water and low in calories, so can be a smart addition to your diet for those trying to maintain or lose weight.
How to Eat It Straight: Pumpkin can be used in all of the same ways that squash is typically used in the fall and winter. Once you remove the outer skin, it can be sliced or diced then roasted and added to salads, bowls and stir-fries. Cutting off the top of the pumpkin, scooping out the seeds, then stuffing it with bread or vegetables and baking can make for an impressive centerpiece to a Thanksgiving appetizer spread. The seeds can also be enjoyed raw or roasted, salted, or tossed with warm spices.
How to Cook with Pumpkin Puree: Apart from in a classic pumpkin pie, there are multiple ways to incorporate pumpkin puree—either homemade or from a can—into recipes. It makes a deliciously sweet and creamy base for soup. It can be used to thicken and sweeten oatmeal and chili. Its silky-smooth texture blends perfectly into cheesecakes, while incorporating it into the batter for cakes, breads, muffins and other baked goods will make ultra-moist goodies. And of course, adding a scoop to your latte along with some spices will yield a classic PSL.
Other Uses for Pumpkin: So you're not going to eat your pumpkin. That's okay! You can carve a spooky jack-o-lantern for your porch. Perhaps you'd rather mix some pumpkin puree with a tiny bit of honey and milk to make a facial mask that will help eliminate redness, slough off dead skin and leave you with a glowing complexion. Or maybe you cut off the top of the pumpkin, remove the seeds, then fill it with dirt or flowers and turn it into a planter or vase. If you're hosting Thanksgiving or any other fall gatherings, pick up a large pumpkin, cut off the top, scoop out the insides and replace them with a bowl full of ice and beer for a festive cooler.

This year, while struggling to keep up with those challenging block-of-the-month blocks, I also completed a quilt for The Village Learning Center's fall gala. It is their big fundraiser for the year. Unfortunately, when Hurricane Harvey hit in September, it didn't seem like a gala would be a good idea. There are so many people and businesses that were hurt in our area. So instead, they are holding a "non-event." The silent and live auctions are being held online this week. I have bid my own quilt up twice. It is my hope they make a bunch of money on this "non-event." Their amazing day center is a wonderful place where over 100 adults with developmental disabilities enjoy activities like bowling, arts and crafts, exercise and so much more. It is such a blessing to so many and a huge part of Mimi's life!
This is the first time I have been called by the Village with a special request. They wanted a large lap-sized "snowflake" type quilt. They were originally going to combine it with other things in a silent auction package. So when the hurricane messed things up they decided to let the quilt stand on its own. Fortunately, I have always loved Christmas-themed fabric and seen it as my duty to contribute them to my stash each year. Well, somebody has to do it! Darn if I even had some fabric with snowflakes. I did have to go shopping in July for some additional Christmas "snowflake" fabric which was a little daunting.
The pattern is from American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine, issue August, 2009. The blocks are all 5-inch squares using white/cream Christmas 1-1/2″ strips for half of the blocks (the Rail Fence squares) and red Christmas/snowflake fabric for the block with the four triangles. Top Stitch Quilting professionally machine quilted the quilt with a large "snowflake" all-over pattern. The patch on the back was embroidered by Personalize-It in Kingwood (this business flooded during Harvey and I am hoping Tracey and her business will return to us).

Well as always I find it next to impossible not to beat myself up over what I perceive to be a total lack of impetus and progress on the whole 'getting back to target' question.
In real terms I'm currently only half a stone heavier than I was when I first hit target back in February 2018 – and in that respect I feel both fit and healthy.
That was a great day and I felt justifiably proud of my achievements.
I'll never forget the overwhelming sense of accomplishment and how I cried when I got my target member certificate.
It meant the world to me then and it still does.
Logic tells me therefore that if I was a success in February 2018 then I must still be a success now – because I'm practically the same person.
There are however always other thought processes at work, because for a time after reaching my first target I carried on going.
I lost a further half a stone after that before I came MOTY, taking my weight down to 14 st – which (if I'm honest) became a real struggle to maintain.
Unexpectedly my life went and changed again – and before I knew it (flushed with the endorphins associated with a new relationship) I completely lost my appetite and dropped yet another seven pounds – taking my total loss to a rather mind boggling 21 stone.
For a while this seemed like a good place to be – but eventually I had to face facts. It happened because I was eating practically no food at all.
The same thing was going on with my new girlfriend and between us the weight flew off over a really short space of time.
Then things stabilised.
My appetite returned, I became less worried that occasionally I might fart in front of my partner and that if I did it would make her run for the hills.
She also confirmed that if I used the loo for a number two that I wouldn't be ostracised from her life.
This came as a great relief – particularly as we had started to spend more than a couple of days together.
As my ablutions returned to normal and we started to have meals together I felt like I wanted to just enjoy life.
In some respects this meant that I also enjoyed it maybe a little too much because eventually several months later I found myself hovering around the 15st mark.
I will admit that this has some consequences – because a stone and a half means larger means that some of my 'snug' shirts and waistcoats (many of which were purchased at 13.5 – 14 stone) are now seem less than flattering and that's a little depressing.
Fundamentally I'm a bit of a shirt addict.
However – these are just clothes and my body feels absolutely fine.
I'm still swimming, walking, spending quality time engaging in energetic activity in many areas of my life and just generally feeling as happy as a pig in poop.
Like most people however that sense of zen like calm quickly evaporates when I try on something that doesn't fit.
I've become very fond of my cargo trousers lately and I'm ashamed to say that it's because I feel like they hide a multitude of sins.
This is patently nonsense mind you.
I am not fat any more.
This is something that I still occasionally struggle to remember and keep at the forefront of my mind.
I always worry that the guy above is lurking in the background – just waiting to reappear – and by being 7lbs out of target I'm more like him than ever.
Crazy right?
It's midday and I've already walked 6 miles and swum a kilometre.
We couldn't be further apart and I'm undeniably fitter than I've ever been in my life.
Yet some of my shirts don't fit.
I promised myself that I would never go back and buy larger ones – but maybe I'm just being stupid.
Maybe a wardrobe with 'options' is what 'normal' people have and they just accept that they will go up from time to time as well as down.
Or is this me trying to excuse my gain (which I view in my mind as a consequence of bad behaviour) and get out of the disagreeable task of losing weight.
I'm struggling with this at the moment – and it oddly it is NOT because I'm eating the wrong food.
The meals that I'm preparing are being consumed by both myself and my partner and she seems to be losing weight currently (which is wonderful because it's what she's aiming to to) whereas I'm remaining totally static.
I'm practically taking on the appearance of a bowl of salad due to the amount of fresh vegetables I'm consuming and yet it seems to make no difference.
I'm remaining static on the scales.
So – I'm happy, healthy, comfortable, fit, settled, and in a very very nice place in life. I feel loved and because of that I also feel attractive.
The latter may have something to do with the fact that I have someone constantly pinching my bottom while I'm cooking or washing up – but also because it's pushing me to face up to how needlessly hard I can be on myself.
Again and again I was told I was too thin at 13.5 stone and that now I look healthy and 'just right' – but I'm still struggling to believe it.
The reality is that the jeans in this picture appear to fit me.
I tried them on the other day in Debenhams (despite all of my mental barriers about wearing 'slim fit' anything) and they were pretty darned comfortable.
What's more I actually ended up buying them and my other half definitely approved – because I can confirm that the number of impromptu 'butt grabbery' incidents whilst working in the kitchen and putting together garden furniture practically doubled yesterday compared to my experience whilst wearing cargo trousers.
So what do I do?
I want to get back to my old target – but at 14.5 stone many of my shirts will still not be as loose as I'd prefer or simply not fit at all.
Does that mean I just accept that I'm this weight for the time being and stock my wardrobe accordingly or do I keep beating myself up and pushing myself back to my current target of 14st?
I just don't know – and I'm wondering what my real motivation is at the moment.
I don't have an underlying health issue to fix.
I don't feel unloved.
I don't feel unattractive.
I don't feel unfit.
I'm wearing slim fit jeans.
What on Earth is my motivation to be anyone other than who I am?
If anyone needs me I'll be pinching the bridge of my nose and looking thoughtful.

Commute into work tonight was horrific; I arrived, 7 minutes late and as cold as a damp grave, after leaving the house literally an hour early. Translink, which had been faithfully waking me up every fifteen minutes with pings on my phone about cancelled buses, had fallen silent so I assumed, entirely wrongly, that the buses were now running. Anyway, stood in the freezing rain for a long fucking time before a bus came, and got to watch people behave like arrestable idiots on Canada Way.
Shoveled the walkways before I left for work; if the snow stays snow I'll have to do it again when I get home; if the rain comes it will depend whether the temperature stays above freezing or not. More salt must be purchased; this is obviously not going to be the last snow of the year, since the arctic outflow conditions over the balance of the winter will only too swiftly return….

The Lazy Man's Guide to Virtual Routing and Forwarding
Time 09/28/16 01:30PM-01:50PM
Room Trianon
Session Abstract
Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) allows multiple sandboxed routing tables to be maintained on a single physical routing infrastructure.
The author has found himself baffled by the confused and incomplete accounts presented in the textbooks of how VRF operates. We object to the perception of VRF as a technology purely for Service providers. This talk will demonstrate how a 'VRF-Lite' approach can provide campus networks with a streamlined routing solution that offers substantial security benefits.
A realistic example of a segregated campus network will demonstrate how the functions performed by the Route Distinguisher and the Route Target and how routes can be carefully leaked between virtual routing tables to build a secure and centralized routing service across a campus.
Some familiarity with BGP will be assumed in this talk, but we will not dwell much on MPLS nor the associated label distribution protocols.

Romans 3:22 says it all. No way to argue it.
As for the " upon all of them that believe ", it was Jesus's faith that got judged,in case you're stuck in a Christian church and they hold some truth back.

Timelines are a great way for students to get an overview of a history topic. We recently finished a unit in our history book about famous explorers. Our textbook organizes the explorers by country, so students read about Marco Polo (Italy) first. Then, move over to Portugal, followed by lots of Spanish guys, and end with Engand, France, and the Netherlands. The format of the book makes it seem like Spain did all of this conquering and then other people sailed across the Atlantic and explored the northeast coast of North America and Canada last.
I had my students create an explorer timeline, so we could see that after Marco Polo's great journey, the explorers of the Americas were actually all sailing and conquering at about the same time. We used paper Sentence Strips for the timelines, which are a great length and width to make a timeline– and they already have a straight line printed on them.
Building a Timeline
- Gather your information in notes or a chart like this Explorer Timeline Notes page. Identify the first date and the last date that will appear on the timeline. Determine the time span and then add a few years before the first date and after the last date, so there will be space at the beginning and end of the timeline. With our explorer timeline, the first year was 1295 and the final year was 1609. We needed a span of at least 314 years.
- The sentence strips are 24″ in length. The next step is to determine the increments of time along the strip. This is the part that can confuse kids. Their first reaction is to list each explorer in order of travel on evenly spaced lines, but the point of a timeline is to show how close or far apart events happened from each other. After counting, subtracting, dividing, and measuring, we determined that we would make marks every 1.25″ and each mark would equal 10 years. Creating the spacing on the timeline is great measuring and counting practice.
- We noted that there was a break in explorer activity from 1295 until 1492. We created a "broken timeline" where we could jump over 100 years, so we would have enough space to fit all of the years we needed.
- To further emphasize the point that the explorers from various countries were all sailing within the same time, we color coded the explorer information by sponsoring country. The color on the timeline created a great visual and helped students group the information by time as well as by nationality.
- The final timeline included 12 explorers, the year of the explorer's main or first voyage, a brief explanation, and a small illustration that represented the explorer.
The finished timelines gave a great overview of all of the explorers we studied. We were able to make generalizations about the explorers as well as incorporate math skills. Students need more practice reading charts, tables, and graphs, so they can draw conclusions about any data presented. When students are reviewing big chunks of information at the end of a unit of study, have them create a chart or table of some kind to help visualize similarities, differences and big ideas.
Another fun way to work with data is to build infographics. After our timelines were finished, students focused on two explorers to compare. To see how the infographic project turned out, Click Here.

The Pentagon is expected to announce changes today to rules governing religious items and uniform regulations, NBC News is reporting.
The change would allow beards, some religious tattoos and turbans to be worn by members in uniform.
NBC News obtained a draft of Department of Defense instructions that said the military will make every effort to accommodate "individual expressions of sincerely held beliefs" of service members. The memo said unless the items have an adverse impact on readiness, order or discipline, commanders will be allowed to grant special permission for personnel to wear religious article while in uniform.
Those articles could include a Jewish service member wearing a yarmulke or a Muslim service member wearing a beard and carrying prayer beads. The directive will also cover Wiccan service members, a religion now covered under Pentagon guidelines.
Requests can be denied when the "needs of mission accomplishment outweigh the needs of the service member," the memo states.
The change comes on the heels of a request by a U.S. Army
major who is a Sikh American to be allowed to wear a turban and maintain long
hair and a beard. The same requests has been made by Sikhs and other religious groups in the past.
According to the NBC report, there are 3 Sikhs in the U.S. military and about 3,700 Muslims, 6,300 Buddhists and 1,500 Wiccans.
You can read the entire NBC News report here.

An evaluation of the CERRO process as an efficient RO concentrate mangement system
The Concentrate Enhanced Recovery Reverse Osmosis (CERRO) Process is a new method to treat RO concentrate and brackish water with high concentrations of silica and calcium sulfate. Prior investigations have shown that the CERRO process can treat this kind of water without fouling or scaling the membranes, but the main factors that allow the system to operate in such conditions were not studied. The research presented here is an evaluation of the CERRO process as an efficient RO concentrate management system. The parameters of operation of the system were evaluated and improved. The precipitation of calcium sulfate was identified as the main limitation of the system, and the most important operational factors were detected. It was found that the constant decay in the crossflow velocity reduces the concentration polarization at the membrane surface and the capacity of the system to be periodically cleaned were the most important operational factors that allow the process to operate without fouling or scaling the RO membranes. This study will be a very important asset for future projects in the further improvement of the process.

Dal Forno-cation
Feeding Cairo's obsession with food porn comes Dal Forno, serving up traditional Italian favourites and new-age adaptations with equal gusto.
In the heart of The District at Heliopolis' Wadi Degla Club, lies a portal to Italy that envokes the spirit of rustic Italian restaurant, aptly named Dal Forno.
All too often it is easy for new restaurants located in massive food courts to go unnoticed. However with gorgeous outdoor seating lining the entrance, Dal Forno is hard to miss, and even harder to avoid. "The inspiration for our restaurant is to replicate the flavour and comfort of eating authentic home-made Nonna style cooking," explains Hossam Heiba, the owner.
The beautifully decorated restaurant is smartly laid out ensuring that no matter how packed the restaurant is, it never feels cramped. Outdoor, indoor or upstairs, anywhere you sit comes equipped with a relaxed and unique atmosphere with strategically placed TVs ensuring anyone can catch the action from any seat, when there's a match on.
With a menu that boasts all the traditional Italian classic alongside a slew of creative new dishes, like pepperoni pizza soup, everyone should be able to find a dish to love within its delightful ambiance. "We opened in May and have since been collecting as much feedback as possible to make the necessary adjustments for providing our patrons the best authentic experience around," Heiba proudly explains. With an eye for detail and an ear for what the diners want, it comes as no surprise to find the restaurant packed with a mix of foodies and excited football fans who appreciate the unobstructed open space when watching High-Definition games.
Even with a packed house, the service proves to be exceptional, with waiters constantly monitoring tables and recommending signature drinks and dishes with a smile. Making a regular appearance in the dining area is the chef, who clearly cares about constantly making his food unique and, more importantly, delicious. "We want our customers to feel like they're eating at an Italian mother's kitchen, so we purposefully make sure that are flavours are spot on, while presenting dishes in a way that feels as comforting as home cooking," explains Heiba.
Highlights on the menu include a variety of baked-to-perfection thin crust pizzas with finger licking tomato sauce, a charcoal grilled steak fillet, and their unique potato salad. By cooking their steaks on a charcoal grill, the meat remains tender while charcoal infuses a delicious smoked flavour.
"The feedback has been great, and we have many returning customers who love to explore the various dishes on our menu." With the perfect trifecta of good service, food and atmosphere, Dal Forno is a pleasant sensory experience that will leave a lasting impression on diners, making it the only trip worth taking in The District.

Speciality coffee from Kivu and Ituri, DRC
Speciality coffee from Kivu and Ituri, DRC
The demand for quality coffee is growing worldwide, but coffee production is at risk. Rising temperatures, extreme weather and pests are threatening the cool mountainsides which this high-altitude, bean-based crop needs to flourish.
Arabica coffee production in the DRC is facing serious difficulties, caused by low prices on the world market. They depend on intermediaries who sell their coffee without offering any services in return. Many coffee farmers are exploited by these intermediaries who offer credits for the latest coffee crop at extremely poor rates. As a result, coffee farmers are struggling to survive.
Moreover, there is a severe over-taxation compared to neighbouring countries and systematic complicity of certain state departments in the fraudulent export of Congolese coffee. The volume of coffee exported via official channels has fallen to 1/10th of the capacity. On top of this, the coffee does not have a good reputation and producers of quality coffee are not rewarded appropriately because they do not have direct access to the international market.
Our programme supports coffee producers to establish quality coffee processing cooperatives and provides connections with gourmet coffee buyers. These cooperatives are built around micro-washing stations, each serving one hundred members with plots in the vicinity. Each micro-washing station is a section of the cooperative.
- Some farmers only manage to produce 250kg per hectare, when the yield could reach 2000kg. Low productivity puts the survival of the coffee production at risk
- Coffee quality is low; both pre-harvest and post-harvest practices fail to improve the quality of the coffee plants.
- No central processing unit for the coffee beans, leading to low quality coffee beans. Each farmer processes the coffee on their own farm (farm-washed coffee) which produces a coffee supply of varying quality.
- The only remaining coffee factory in South-Kivu works at low capacity due to the irregular supply of coffee beans. Farmers are not encouraged to sell regularly because they do not have sale agreements for export.
Our strategies
- Rikolto wants to improve productivity by planting new coffee trees. The most suitable coffee varieties are grown in tree nurseries and distributed to the farmers.
- We introduce Good Agricultural Practices that aim to reduce the negative effects on the environment (soil, water, pesticides, etc.). For fertilization, local compost based on coffee pulp and other ingredients is used. We set up Farmer Field Schools to transfer knowledge about increasing production from farmer to farmer.
- We build Washing stations in both North-Kivu, South-Kivu and Ituri which are each managed by 100 farmers. In this way, coffee can be washed centrally and variations in coffee quality can be avoided. Apart from the "fully washed" coffee, we experiment with "natural coffee" and "honey bean"
- We increase the business capacities of four new cooperatives Kawa Kabuya, CPNCK (Kawa Kenja), Kawa Maber en Kawa Kanzururu so that they become reliable business partners for international buyers
- We set up a small lab to be able to test and evaluate the quality of the coffee locally (coffee cupping), instead of having it sent to Europe. This way, the cooperatives will be able to better respond to the quality demands of the buyers.
- We set up new systems to give the cooperatives access to credit: local banks are involved, social lenders, warranty funds, down payments / prefinancing by buyers, etc
- Promotion of local coffee consumption
Kawa Kanzururu is the winner of the Taste of Harvest competition
The results of the Taste of Harvest RDC 2018 competition have just been released.
Cooperatives supported by Rikolto in DR Congo achieved the top 3 scores. What an excellent result! Note that these are the only coffees that have earned the specialty coffee grade!
Congratulations to the farmers of Kawa Kanzururu, Kawa Maber and Kawa Kabuya!
The first processing factory installed on Idjwi island
On the 28th of May 2017 the cooperative CPNCK has installed its factory in Lweza, on Idjwi. Present during the inauguration: the ambassador of Japan, the governor of the province of South Kivu, the deputy director of UNDP and a delegation of VECO DRC. In June the factory was also visited by the ambassador of Belgium. Everything is in place to turn this factory into a profitable business!
What a difference a year makes
In January 2015 TWIN agreed to purchase a container of the coffees represented by the highest scoring type samples, from Kawa Maber cooperative in Ituri. Jennifer Roberts visited the coffee farmers while they were preparing the export of this very first container.
"Sometimes coffee can break your heart, but this month, it also gave us renewed encouragement and excitement to partner with communities and invest in their growth and improvement. Relationship coffee is about much more than just buying the fanciest lot. It's about investing in mutual benefit through our favorite beverage."
Saveur du Kivu contest
For the second time the coffee competition "Saveur du Kivu" ("Kivu Flavour") was organised in Bukavu from May 19th till May 21st 2016. Two cooperatives supported by VECO were laureates: Kawa Kabuya obtained the second place, and CPNCK the 5th place. Congratulations!
Belgian supermarket buys Congolese coffee
Belgian supermarket Colruyt sealed a contract with Kawa Kabuya for one container of Arabica coffee. The loading of the container was finished in Butembo. With a bit of good will from the part of the governmental services responsible for exportation, the container can leave the country soon. The coffee will be available in the supermarkets from september on as a specialty coffee for Christmas.
Auditors share their findings and recommendations
Accountants Christophe Nzalamingi and Gaëtan Lushavo of FIGEP shared their findings and recommendations of their audit with the management of the Cooperative Kawa Kanzururu and with the team of VECO. The management of an emerging cooperative offers many learnings, so the lessons from the first experience in collective selling are carefully examined to continually improve and expand the capabilities of the coöperatives as the volume of coffee increases. The road to financial independence is still long, but the first step is taken with determination.
Congolese coffee wins Taste of Harvest competition
The jury has spoken. The winners of the Taste of Harvest 2016 competition, organized by the African Fine Coffee Association (AFCA) are known. Out of the 5 best rated Congolese coffees, 4 were produced by cooperatives that are supported by VECO DR Congo. Kawa Kabuya and Kawa Maber even took the first and second place. Congratulations to the farmers for this terrific effort!
New pulpers
The deployment of new ecological pulpers is ongoing. Fiston is not only our driver and logistician, but also our expert technician installing and adjusting the machines. We wish the Cooperatives Kawa Kabuya, Kawa Kanzururu and Kawa Maber an excellent harvest for this main coffee season that is starting!
Exporting coffee the official way
The first container of gourmet coffee of the young Cooperative Kawa Maber from Ituri just crossed the Congo-Uganda border near Mahagi, heading for the port of Mombasa.
The numerous state services have caused a delay of several weeks, as they had forgotten the procedure for an official export. The past 30 years, export was entirely in the hands of smugglers.
We will now carefully document the path of this first martyr-lot of coffee to show the authorities how they are part of the problem. We'll invite them to become part of the solutions.
20 new micro-washing stations
The equipment for 20 new coffee micro-washing stations has just arrived in Butembo: depulpers, shade nets, etc. The new coffee season has just begun, so the equipment certainly doesn't come too early!
at least 7500 coffee farmers organised in 5 Farmer Organisations:
- Kawa Kabuya Based in Beni and Lubero, west and north of Lake Edouard
- Kawa Kanzururu In the region of Beni, Ruwenzori, west of the la Lune mountains
- Kawa Maber In the region of Mahagi in Ituri, west of Lake Albert
SCPNCK Located on Idjwi Island in Lake Kivu.
Bblo Kawa In the region of Djugu in Ituri, west of Lake Albert
Farmer groups in the region of Rutshuru (not organised in cooperatives yet)
About 1/3 of them are women
Achieved results
Five coffee cooperatives are formed and legally registered: Kawa Maber and Bblo Kawa (Ituri), Kawa Kanzururu (Rwenzori), Kawa Kabuya (Beni-Lubero), SCPNCK (Idjwi island).
Every farmer that became a member of one of the four coffee cooperatives, contributed $50 in cash or in kind for building materials and labour for constructing a micro-washing station, while the programme has helped by providing equipment (pulper, mesh, shading net, polythene sheeting for shed roof, hygrometer, etc.)
There are 123 micro washing stations operational (April 2020, not all indicated on the google map yet) and another dozen in preparation. There are 5 staff per operational washing station (responsible for post-harvest treatment and quality control), creating in total 520 new jobs. 27 staff are working for the cooperatives.
Easy access to new coffee plants, leading to the renewal of the plantations. The productivity has increased: the volume of 5 cooperatives increases every season.
The quality of the coffee has significantly improved, and the coffee cooperatives won a lot of awards. Consequently, the income of farmer families has doubled to tripled the 4 years of the project. Many farmers indicate that they can now easily pay for the school fees of their children. There are less exclusions of poor kids from schools.
Additionally, the cooperatives have been making efforts to achieve access to more lucrative certified coffee markets by complying with the standards of multiple certification organisations. In collaboration with the University of Ghent in Belgium, Rikolto has studied the effects this has had on farmers, of which you can find the main conclusions in this interview.
The workload of women has diminished a lot: they no more need to do home processing. Quite some men have ceded a significant part of their coffee plantation to their wives, leading to more economic independency for women.
All 4 government services controlled by the Ministry of Finance had to decrease payments for services from several % down to 0.25% of FOB value. Only one of them (DGDA) has applied the new tax policy.
The cooperatives have better access to credit: e.g. Colruyt Group signed a three year contract to prefinance Kawa Kabuya
Processing factory installed on Idjwi island.
What are specific priorities for 2020 and 2021 ?
We expect a new coffee cooperative to be established in Rutshuru
Install a coffee lab in the offices of Kawa Kabuya, and train people in coffee cupping
Work towards organic and Fair Trade certification of the coffee cooperatives
Increase quality control and strengthen the business capacities
Long-term results
Structural changes in the national politics regarding coffee and the restructuring of the coffee chain at national level through the National Confederation of Agricultural Producers of Congo (CONAPAC)

The Sub-Vers TF Cartridge is a great cartridge with a great atomizer! Filling the Sub-Vers TF is super-easy - always a plus. This is a plus compared to the difficulty in filling ANY bottom-fill cartridge. One of the best parts of this cartridge is the atomizers. They have LARGE wick holes! This makes vaping thicker e-juices easy. I've been using this cartridge daily since I received it in early Dec of 2016 and have since purchased a second Sub-Vers TF Cartridge (this time - in BLACK). I'm extremely happy with the performance of this tank. It works great and looks awesome. Anyone using the Sub-Vers TF Cartridge will be pleased.
Cheyanne Kaneshiro - 08/07/2016
Absolutely the best cartridge I own. Able to hold a generous amount of oil and the ease of refilling from the top is great. I use it with my i50W-TCJ battery for great vaping sessions. The ability to swap out different atomizers are a great feature I look forward to using.

President Donald Trump accused the Justice Department Tuesday of being part of the "deep state" and urged prosecution against a top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey.
He also claimed that U.S. sanctions on North Korea were having a "big impact" and that he was responsible for preventing commercial aviation deaths in 2017.
And having himself set in motion an end to protections for people brought to the United States as children and living illegally, Trump blasted Democrats for "doing nothing" to protect the "Dreamers," as they are commonly known.
Trump's latest tweets pressed familiar arguments for the president, who is set to begin his first full year in office with the victory of tax legislation but the Russia investigation still hanging over his administration.
"Crooked Hillary Clinton's top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents," Trump tweeted in an apparent reference to a report by the conservative Daily Caller.
"Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others," he added.
As he remains shadowed by the special counsel's Russia investigation, Trump has seized on recent revelations of anti-Trump behavior by some FBI officials, including some who once worked on special counsel Robert Mueller's probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, to claim bias against him.
U.S. & World
The president's reference Tuesday to "Deep State Justice Dept" suggests that federal law enforcement is part of an entrenched bureaucracy that Trump and his supporters say didn't want him to be elected and is actively working to undermine his presidency.
Trump's reference to sailors likely referred to a Navy sailor convicted of taking photos of classified areas inside a submarine.
Trump's blast at the Justice Department came after he returned to the White House from a holiday getaway to face legislative challenges, midterm elections and global threats. He issued confrontational tweets targeting Iran, which in recent days has been rocked by anti-government protests, and Pakistan.
"The people of Iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime. All of the money that President Obama so foolishly gave them went into terrorism and into their 'pockets.' The people have little food, big inflation and no human rights. The U.S. is watching!"
Ambassador Nikki Haley announced Tuesday the U.S. is calling for U.N. Security Council and Human Rights Council emergency sessions on Iran.
On Monday, Trump slammed Pakistan for "lies & deceit," saying it had played U.S. leaders for "fools" by not doing enough to control militants.
"The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!" Trump said.
Pakistan fired back Tuesday, calling his New Year's Day tweet "completely incomprehensible."
The government summoned the U.S. ambassador to complain but stopped short of demands by protesting Islamic groups to expel the envoy.
Pakistani officials, including Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif, said the country would make clear "the difference between facts and fiction."
It was not immediately clear what prompted Trump to comment on Pakistan. The U.S. has long accused Pakistan of allowing militants to operate relatively freely in its border regions to carry out operations in neighboring Afghanistan. The U.S. said in August that it would hold up $255 million in military assistance for Pakistan until it cracks down on extremists threatening Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said Monday the U.S. should be aware that his country's nuclear forces are now a reality, not a future threat. To that, Trump said only: "We'll see."
In a morning tweet, Trump said the U.S.-led campaign of sanctions and other pressure were beginning to have a "big impact" on North Korea. He referred to the recent, dramatic escape of at least two North Korean soldiers across the heavily militarized border into South Korea. He also alluded to Kim's comments Monday that he was willing to send a delegation to the Winter Olympics, which will be hosted by South Korea next month.
"Soldiers are dangerously fleeing to South Korea. Rocket man now wants to talk to South Korea for first time. Perhaps that is good news, perhaps not - we will see!" Trump said, using his derisive moniker for the young North Korean leader.
In response to Kim's overture, South Korea on Tuesday offered high-level talks on Jan. 9 at the shared border village of Panmunjom to discuss Olympic cooperation and how to improve overall ties.
At home, Trump is hoping for more legislative achievements after his success on cutting taxes. He plans to host Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin at Camp David next weekend to map out the 2018 legislative agenda.
Republicans are eager to make progress before attention shifts to the November midterm elections. The GOP wants to hold the House and Senate, but must contend with Trump's historic unpopularity and some recent Democratic wins, including the pickup of a Senate seat in deeply Republican Alabama.
And, in a new development Tuesday afternoon, Utah Republican Orrin Hatch announced he has decided to leave the Senate rather than run for re-election this year.
Trump had been encouraging the 83-year-old senator to seek an eighth term. But Hatch announced Tuesday that he will retire when his term ends early next year.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Trump has the "greatest and deepest respect" for Hatch and is particularly thankful for his leadership on the recently enacted tax bill.
Hatch's decision would appear to clear the way for former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney to run for the seat.
Sanders declined to say whether Trump would be open to supporting Romney, saying she has yet to discuss that with the president.
The White House has said Trump will come forward with his long-awaited infrastructure plan in January. Trump has also said he wants to overhaul welfare and recently predicted Democrats and Republicans will "eventually come together" to develop a new health care plan.
Ryan has talked about overhauling Medicaid and Medicare and other safety-net programs, but McConnell has signaled an unwillingness to go that route unless there's Democratic support for any changes. Republicans will have just a 51-49 Senate majority — well shy of the 60 votes needed to pass most bills — giving leverage to Democrats.
Congress also has to deal with a backlog from 2017, including agreeing on a spending bill by Jan. 19 to avert a partial government shutdown. There's also providing additional aid to hurricane victims, lifting the debt ceiling, extending a children's health insurance program and extending protections for immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
Trump ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program last year but delayed its end for six months to allow Congress to act. The Obama-era program protects from deportation tens of thousands of young immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
Trump is demanding funding for a border wall and an end to family based immigration programs as part of an agreement on DACA. But Democrats and a few Republicans have suggested they may not vote for government funding that doesn't include DACA protections.
Trump tweeted Tuesday that "DACA activists and Hispanics will go hard against Dems, will start "falling in love" with Republicans and their President! We are about RESULTS."
