Our country is rejoicing at the death of Osama bin Laden. The vanquishing of the enemy is powerful stuff. Most cannot help but be overjoyed when a sworn enemy is killed.
But the actual enemy has not been vanquished. The true enemy is not, and never has been, an individual, but rather a combination of dangerous ideologies, destructive psychological propensities, and unjust, damaging systems. Unfortunately, these did not die on May Day.
Osama bin Laden, as al-Qaeda's leader, was certainly an enemy of the United States. The 9/11 attacks were an unprecedented horror, and the fact of their carefully premeditated evil makes them stand out among a long list of atrocities, but the rejoicing may actually threaten the real work and the great challenges that lie ahead.
The sad truth is that we are no closer after the death of Osama bin Laden to a world populated by people who have learned how to live sustainably, peaceably and humanely.
Looking below the surface
Vanquishing the enemy means looking below the surface evil to the ways in which rage, hatred, sociopathy and brainwashing occur, and attempting to find root causes and root solutions.
While it may feel satisfying, and deeply so for those who lost loved ones on September 11, Osama bin Laden's death represents no solution to hatred and bigotry; minds easily influenced; actions determined more by situations and systems than by careful thought, reflection and analysis. These are the real and powerful roots of evil.
As Dr. Phil Zimbardo's famous Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted in 1971, revealed, normal, mentally healthy young men can become perpetrators of evil (or conversely, impotent victims) within 48 hours, acting in ways indistinguishable from what occurred at Abu Ghraib, simply because they are placed in a situation of power over (or under) others (as guards or prisoners) within a dangerously influential system (prison).
And, as Dr. Stanley Milgram's 1960s experiments on obedience to authority revealed, normal, mentally healthy men and women will deliver what they think are highly dangerous and even fatal electric shocks to fellow participants in an experiment simply because a man in a white lab coat tells them to.
Reflexively following leaders
Perhaps even more telling, this propensity toward blindly, reflexively following leaders, authorities and influencers is part of who we are, present in children, and not simply the result of what we have learned. Jane Elliott's brown eye/blue eye exercises, also conducted in the 1960s, demonstrate how quickly and readily third graders accept the irrational notion that eye color dictates intelligence, worthiness, and goodness and become perpetrators of prejudice, hatred, and cruelty, (as well as victims of self-loathing and self-doubt), unable to resist the influence of a teacher who effectively brainwashes them to hate and reject others who are different. Sound familiar? We are all at risk of evil. We are all the potential "enemy."
What this means is that we have a much greater challenge to rooting out evil than finding Osama bin Laden in a compound and killing him. We all know this, of course, but the rejoicing at Osama's death could eclipse this understanding of what we are truly up against: ourselves and our ability to be manipulated; led astray from our deepest values of compassion, integrity, honesty, generosity and wisdom; and turned into perpetrators of evil because we have failed to root out the real causes of destruction and harm, and have stopped far short of the great goal of creating a peaceable world in which we can all thrive and survive.
Start with the kids
There is a way to confront our biggest enemy, and it lies with children, just as Jane Elliott knew when she taught her students about prejudice and hatred in her unforgettable and unconventional classroom exercise. That way is through schooling that teaches critical and creative thinking and problem-solving and that fosters reverence, respect and a sense of responsibility.
It is, in fact, the only way to cultivate healthy roots so that each of us has the capacity to resist the effects of a destructive environment — whether that environment is political, cultural, economic or ecological — and then transform that environment into systems that are more just, sustainable and humane.
All children need to understand humanity's capacity to blindly follow (a shadow side of our great capacity to cooperate), so that they can defy hatred, myopia, and simplistic either/ors when these threaten to dismantle their ability to think critically, innovatively and deeply to address systemic problems and solve them wisely.
They need their curricula to meet the complex demands of a complex world. I've offered a vision of what such schooling might look like through my TEDx talk and here at Care2, and I believe that this is where we must turn our wholehearted attention. If we do so, perhaps we will make real progress in vanquishing the real enemy.

I do not rejoice at anyone' death. Evil lives on. Iwill rejoice when people learn to live together in peace.
It is really disgusting to find so many people not understanding that courts of justice are made for trials, and that no one else in the CIVILISED world has the right to make justice by their own hands, no matter the case, no matter how much that can hurt. Furthermore, today, in twenty first century, only a few third world dictatorships behave that way and still have death penalty, but the second is another matter not concerning this case. What is really astonishing is that people believing to be democratic do not follow democratic basics. One can tell what one wants, but do not make anyone believe that a government that does not abide by these simple and basic principles has anything to do with democracy. It is just a fake.
I think there is a difference between orchestrating the killing of thousands of people because of a religious or political belief, and the killing of one person who threatens the lives and safety of numerous others. Some people get totally carried away with their own 'rightness'. I have even known people with genuinely good beliefs e.g. Animal rights and environmentalists who are happy to condemn their fellow humans and who use violent words and deeds against them, to support their 'causes'.
not to be ignorant of what is the main essence of the article,but i found jane elliots brown eye blue eye test fascinating from here.
Indira Ghandi; that was an assassintion; this was an extraction; dead or alive of a murderous psychpath
It's a start, 'chop off the head', but the body keeps going. Lots of people are blindly following the far-right in this country too....
Second part of 2
This and USA politics in the middle east defending Nazi Israel are the real source of all troubles and problems for the USA, the disrespect for the nation and source of its bad name almost everywhere except in most European countries. However this new crime did shake the credibility in Europe. It was a heavy blow on USA credibility all over the world, will strengthen its enemiesm and at the end will increase terrorism for sure. As the author correctly puts is «We are all the potential "enemy."» This assassination is the reversr of stopping terrorism. The way the USA armed forces deliberately kill people in Afghanistan will certainly fall back on them. They are the terrorism birth makers.
Comments like those by Gloria W. can come only from stupid people unable to understand this article, people making terrorism rise and making their own problems,
First part of 2
I fully agree with this article. I go even further. Osamas assassination was lust a part of political way of deceiving people. It does not solve terrorism. It is a further argument for those hating the USA and will fuel terrorism. It places the USA in a position of a terrorist country for not abiding with world rules and overtaking international courts that exist to judge such cases. The latest is confirmed by the simple fact that Osama was not armed, was now a sick person undergoing dialysis, which made him very weak, and living on one kidney. The argument that he resisted capture is only normal, but does not sustain any possible danger from him. CIA and upper authorities knew this perfectly, hence the planed assassination crime. You cannot punish a crime with another crime without a court trial and judgement. Never, even if he had dropped many nuclear bombs across many countries. Never, in any case, that must be left for courts of law.
How many people that Osama had killed and how many that the American had killed and still killing. Can we just stop the killing.

The Killer at Thurston High(56:34) FRONTLINE explores what led a 15-year-old boy to kill his parents and two classmates.
Fourteen Years Later, Looking Back at a School Shooting
December 21, 2012, 3:46 pm ET
More than a decade ago, FRONTLINE set out to understand how a troubled young man with no history of violence could become a random killer in the halls of his high school. What clues in his background, experience or medical condition might help make sense of a senseless crime?
On May 20, 1998, 15-year-old Kip Kinkel shot and killed his mother and father. The next morning he opened fire on students at Thurston High School, killing two and wounding 25. Kinkel is serving a 111-year prison sentence in Oregon. Now 30, he has filed several appeals claiming that inadequate legal counsel kept him from pursuing an insanity plea.
The Killer at Thurston High, which first aired on Jan. 18, 2000, examines Kinkel's childhood in a nurturing family in suburban Oregon and his transformation from a shy, lonely teenager into a methodical killer. The story draws on excerpts from Kinkel's writings, his psychologist's notes and interviews with his sister, schoolmates and family friends.
What explains Kinkel's attack? As in the case of Adam Lanza, the consequences of the shooting are indelible while its causes remain largely opaque. And it is unknown whether the perpetrators of such crimes share much more in common than the indiscriminate toll in suffering they inflict.
But Kinkel, unlike Lanza, survived the shooting, and left an audio confession recorded by police. While not definitive and perhaps peculiar to his case, his testimony provides rare glimpse into the thinking and emotions of someone who would carry out such an attack.
The audio confession is part of broader discussion of the Connecticut violence in a PBS special broadcast, After Newtown, which will air tonight at 8 p.m. on PBS stations. You can watch the full film of The Killer at Thurston High above.

I thought all Spotmatics used a bridge circuit and were not sensitive to voltage variations. My non F model is fine with alkalines as is my SP500.
It's easy to tell. If the meter position for proper exposure is in the centre and the meter needle goes to that position when the meter is switched off, then it's a bridge circuit and an alkaline or silver 1.5 volt cell will do.
The meter in a bridge circuit displays the difference in voltage between two potential dividers. At correct exposure, this difference is zero so it cannot vary with cell voltage.
If the exposure is set by lining up one needle with another then it is not a bridge circuit and will be sensitive to voltage change

Maggie Gyllenhaal reveals 'Maggie' is not her real name
Maggie Gyllenhaal, who recently saw her birth certificate, discovered that her name is Margalit and not Maggie.
The American actress said on ABC's Live with Kelly and Michael that her name Maggie was on everything like on her driver's license, passport, everything, ABC News reported.
The 36-year-old actress said that she stumbled across the finding while gathering the paperwork necessary to legally take the last name of her husband, actor Peter Sarsgaard and when she confronted her parents about the name confusion, they didn't remember naming her "Margalit".
Gyllenhaal added that she wished that "Maggie" was her name, but it was not.

When my daughter opens Internet Explorer 10, she is directed, or maybe the term is redirected, to www.portaldosites.com.

I have used Symantec Endpoint Protection, full scan, but it does not detect any issues. I have used the Microsoft Emergency Response Tool, and nothing shows up.
I am sure she did this to herself, but oh well, this is what we call a learning experience. So if you have a solution on how to remove Portaldosites from her laptop, please let me know.

If you get on an elevator, what's the missing number on the pad? You will notice the number 4 is missing... yes, Chinese consider this a "bad luck" number as the pronunciation "suh" sounds similar to the Chinese character for "death". In contrast, the number 8 "bâ" sounds similar to the word for "wealth" and is therefore considered a very lucky number.

There's an obvious difference in the tone curve between these two cameras (the 7D image more contrasty) but color balance is remarkably similar, both rendered reds and blues similarly (these are the two colors most often 'shifted' in our test). There's really very little difference between these two cameras when it comes to resolution and detail. We did note in our D70 review that this camera uses a sensor with a 'lighter' anti-alias filter, and that does show through with slightly crisper fine detail but it's very subtle.

3 Catherine House is located in the centre of Weymouth, home to a fine selection of eateries, bars, restaurants and shops whilst the esplanade, attractions and beach are a short walk away. This apartment is rear-facing, away from the bustle of the high street.
Internally, this modern first floor apartment is fully air conditioned, offers a spacious open plan living/kitchen area and is furnished to a high standard throughout. The property benefits from a communal roof top garden complete with furniture.
The shallow waters of Weymouth Bay provide fantastic conditions for kite surfing, wind surfing and sailing, and will play host to a series of major sailing events in the run up to 2012, including the Olympic finals themselves.
But there is so much more in the area for those who prefer to keep their feet on dry land. From crazy golf to go karts, the area is home to a fantastic range of attractions sure to entertain the whole family.
For those in search of culture, Portland Castle is nearby and is considered to be one of King Henry VII's finest coastal forts. Literary fans should head to 'Hardy's Cottage', the former home of Thomas Hardy, which has remained largely unchanged from the time Thomas lived there and is where he wrote 'Greenwood Tree' and 'Far from the Madding Crowd'.

The Dorset region
Dorset's beautiful and dramatic scenery has long made the county a favourite with writers, poets and film crews. Jurassic cliffs plunge alongside picturesque harbour towns and coastal resorts, providing an impressive backdrop for the many popular Dorset holiday destinations. Blue Chip Holidays can offer Dorset holiday cottages in many of the county's towns, each of which has a slightly different experience to offer than the next.
Poole has one of the world's largest natural harbours
Portland Castle was built in 1539 by Henry VIII to defend Weymouth
Tours of Thomas Hardy's Dorset are operated throughout the county
Weymouth town and Portland island are steeped in history. From Roman Galleys to Spanish Galleons the harbour and Island have seen more than their fair share of naval history and Royal patronage. While Henry VIII contented himself building forts to stave off foreign invasion, George III made Weymouth his summer holiday residence, attracting many wealthy ladies and gentlemen to the fashionable seaside town, and influencing its architecture leaving many magnificent buildings, statues and landmarks.
Blessed with beaches that range from the pebble rich 18 mile Chesil Beach tombolo, to Weymouth Beach's sandy shores, Weymouth and Portland have a great choice of places to visit and enjoy in both the hot summer months and the wild winter weeks. Add this to miles of stunning Jurassic coastline, a great range of family friendly attractions and a good choice of museums, and you have a surprisingly rich range of activities to keep you busy during your stay in the area.

Digest: The excitement of the holidays is special in Mrs. Field's class.
The excitement of the holidays is special in Mrs. Field's class. The students read books about winter, hibernation, and of course, Christmas! We especially enjoyed "The Gingerbread Baby." The children enjoyed designing gingerbread boys as well as tasting gingerbread. Our December Positive Behavior Support event, "Christmas Around the World, provides an opportunity to understand how other countries celebrate the holiday season. Mrs. Muto and Mrs. Robinson's K-1 classes have been working on addition and subtraction relationships, how to identify them, and building fact families. Lots of great writing has been going on as well as students have been using bubble maps and tree maps to help write sentences. Students have been writing about things we are familiar with: our grandparents, instruments, the playground, our bikes, and the beach. We have also been trying to add descriptive words. Dec. 20 is early dismissal. Winter break is Dec. 21-Jan. 2. Have a wonderful holiday.

Westcomb Recon IS Hoody�300, added Nov/2009, see all Westcomb news & reviews
announcement by Westcomb
This announcement has been read 6,321 times
© Westcomb
This windproof insulated soft shell jacket combines Schoeller Dynamic Extreme with Primaloft stretch laminate. The marriage of these cutting-edge fabric technologies gives you a jacket that is perfect for a wide range of pursuits, so you can be confident that the Recon IS will keep you comfortable whether on-route or off-piste.
In practice the Recon is a piece that combines the best of both worlds. It offers all the warmth of an insulated jacket, along with the extremely breathable, durable and water-repellent finish of the Shoeller face fabric. The Recon can take all the hammer you can throw at it, and come back for more. The combination of breathability and insulation means that the Recon is suitable for use in a much wider temperature range than a standard softshell or down jacket, making it a worth-while investment compared to purchasing these items separately.
"This is the stretchiest, warmest soft shell I've ever worn, and I say that for no other reason than I believe it's true" -Andrew Bisharat, Rock & Ice Magazine
Winner of the Polartec APEX Design Award 2007

The container and gross tonnage handling across all Colombian ports will undergo expansion in 2015, cementing a return to growth following a 2013 downturn, says BMI's Colombia Shipping Report.

The port of Cartagena will see total tonnage volume increase by 4.5% to 21.63mn tonnes in 2015, and will average growth of 5.3% to 2019. Container traffic at Cartagena will grow by 7.9% to 2.22mn twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in 2015. Growth to 2019 will average 9.4%.

Cruise Croatia with MSC: history and scenery, Split has it all
Split is the second-largest city in Croatia after Dubrovnik, located halfway along this country's un-spoilt Adriatic coast.
Croatia still remains a relatively unknown holiday destination, but is fast gaining in popularity due to its stunning natural beauty and Roman heritage.Indeed, Split is a UNESCO Heritage Site and deeply historical; thought to be just over 1,700 years old, Split is home to an assortment of impressive archaeological remains.
Split is always a highly popular vacation destination during our MSC Mediterranean cruise itineraries and we really encourage travellers to leave their luxury MSC liner for the day and come ashore. With a great selection of excursion packages that offer history, stunning scenery and fascinating culture, you are sure to find an outing that tempts, as well as a guarantee of the best deals on local sights.
Split city highlights include the 4th-century Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian (Diocletian's Palace). This monument is thought to be the best-preserved example of a period imperial palace. The remains of what was a luxurious villa and military can clearly be seen and enclose a domed mausoleum, temples and imperial apartments. For a spectacular lush oasis, travel further afield to one of Croatia's seven National Parks.
Nearest to Split is Krka (pronounced 'kur-ka'), 100 km of woodland, crystal clear lakes and cascading waterfalls. More natural beauty is to be found on the nearby islands of Brac, Hvar or Korcula, all easily accessible from Split, and fine examples of the 1,000 islands that nestle in the azure waters around this beautiful country.

Update #34 years ago News 0 comments
This is an small update of what s to come in the future and what has happened.
The mod you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this mod, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.
It's been a while. Six years in fact. You thought destroying her would be the end to your troubles, didn't you? Well, I'm not her but I can assure you that your troubles, have only just begun.
Portal: Revolution is a mod about reviving the feel of the original Portal, with the aesthetics and environment of Portal 2. All the Portal 2 elements will be included, maybe a few new ones. This mod doesn't co-exist with the second Portal and is more of an alternate reality where a back up of the sinister super-villain, GLaDOS, has just been activated. You and a service core struggle to escape through the top of the Aperture Building, only to find out everything is frozen over.

It's Been a long Time, How have you been? We haven't been really busy because the inability to communicate well with others. But We're not DEAD.We're Still Alive!
We've been afk because of me not being able to communicate with our top mapper, [Electron] until today. We really want to continue this mod but it's beginning to get harder. I know this sounds like a mod near death, but we're not even close to death.
For all the Team Members and watchers of Portal: Awakening, I can't believe it's now dead too. Hopefully we can make this mod in it's place! With the help of our Fantastic Team along with followers we'll continue to work on this as much as we can.
Of course, sometimes while the AFK period, we attached to other things. For Example, Me and minecraft. I've been so hooked into Minecraft until recently when i remembered how many people wanted to see this mod. I hope we can bring some satisfaction to all of our followers and FUTURE followers that would like to see this mod grow and become a huge success.
Now did you think we have nothing to show of our progress? Well, guess again. The Mad-Robot in this mod will be called A.I.R (Artificial Intelligence Robot) It's a very simple name, but HE looks cool. Check out this drawing I made of what AIR should look like. ;)
Cool huh? Leave a comment below of what you think of it and what I should improve!
I'm also looking for someone who'll model this and animate it into the game as GLaDOS.
Interested? PM me with the details and You're in! Be sure to have examples of your amazing modeling skills!
With all the Best!

Bought for husband, borrowed back for myself

Posted by 5652464305231052323 on May 22, 2012
My sweetheart LOVES this shaving cream. I bought it after reading a favorable review and was not dissappointed. I was looking for something without synthetic additives. He reports that he is no longer getting irritation/ nicks when shaving and that it is hydrating his face. He is really pleased. I have started to use it on my legs , bikini line and underarms (I'm a girl) and along with switching to his razors (Gilette Fusion ProGlide) have found a winning combo. Still experiencing some irritation in the bikini area, but probably more from clothing irritating the area after shaving. This is our winning combo. We're on our third bottle. He reports that it lasts a long time when shaving daily. Very mild, nondescript clean scent and smooth when applied. Fells luxurious. I'm VERY sensitive to products/ perfumes and have no negative reactions.
good product

This shaving cream is amazing - the texture is nice, razor glides easily and doesn't clog. Definately worth buying. You don't need much so it is economical. Quantity is big.

I bought this for my partner who has very sensitive skin. He loves it. It works perfectly, and softens the hair really well before shaving. It doesn't irritate or sting. Good product!

The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: A Novel
Title: The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: A Novel
Author: Gabrielle Zevin
KDL Description:
"A middle-aged bookseller mourning his lost wife, a feisty publisher's rep, and a charmingly precocious abandoned child come together on a small island off the New England coast in this utterly delightful novel of love and second chances."
—Beth Mills, New Rochelle Public Library, New Rochelle, NY
Amazon Description:
We are not quite novels.
We are not quite short stories.
In the end, we are collected works.
A. J. Fikry's life is not at all what he expected it to be. His wife has died; his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history; and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. Slowly but surely, he is isolating himself from all the people of Alice Island—from Chief Lambiase, the well-intentioned police officer who's always felt kindly toward him; from Ismay, his sister-in-law, who is hell-bent on saving A.J. from his dreary self; from Amelia, the lovely and idealistic (if eccentric) Knightley Press sales rep who persists in taking the ferry to Alice Island, refusing to be deterred by A.J.'s bad attitude. Even the books in his store have stopped holding pleasure for him. These days, he can only see them as a sign of a world that is changing too rapidly.
And then a mysterious package appears at the bookstore. It's a small package, though large in weight—an unexpected arrival that gives A.J. the opportunity to make his life over, the ability to see everything anew. It doesn't take long for the locals to notice the change overcoming A.J., for the determined sales rep Amelia to see her curmudgeonly client in a new light, for the wisdom of all those books to become again the lifeblood of A.J.'s world. Or for everything to twist again into a version of his life that he didn't see coming.
As surprising as it is moving, The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry is an unforgettable tale of transformation and second chances, an irresistible affirmation of why we read, and why we love.
