"Nothing has been easy. Everything has had to be earned."
Black history is finally taking its rightful place within the Smithsonian Institution with the National Museum of African American History and Culture's grand opening on Saturday.
While the museum is now opening to considerable fanfare ― the ceremony includes a three-day festival and a dedication led by President Barack Obama to mark the historic occasion ― getting the project off the ground was anything but easy.
A group of black Civil War veterans first advocated for the idea of a national African-American history museum in the early 1900s. Decades later, a group of congressmen led by civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) took the fight for the museum to Capitol Hill. Lewis introduced legislation to fund the museum every year for 15 years, but it was defeated every time.
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said the museum faced plenty of challenges, from "overt bigotry" to "lack of prioritization."
"In many ways, it itself is reminiscent or reflective of the African-American experience. Nothing has been easy. Everything has had to be earned," he said.
Some representatives who opposed the museum said the project was too costly. Others, like Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), warned the museum would set a dangerous precedent and open the floodgates for additional museums dedicated to other racial minorities.
"Every other minority will give thought to asking the taxpayers to pony up for a special museum for them," Helms said in 1994.
In 2001, President George Bush created a commission to explore the need for the museum and develop a plan of action. After much debate over the location for the museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture Act was finally signed into law in 2003, establishing the 19th Smithsonian museum.
But the project still faced another hurdle: funding. It would ultimately cost $540 million and the federal government was only going to cover half.
Bunch said the funding situation was "unusual." According to The New York Times, government funds have covered all or most of the building costs for every other Smithsonian museum.
Organizations including the Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation contributed millions to the project. The museum also found support from the black community. According to The Washington Post, 74 percent of individuals who donated $1 million or more to the project were African-American.
The museum's three-tiered building, which sits on the National Mall alongside the Washington Monument, is inspired by Yoruban caryatid ― a slender wooden column with a crown at the top. The museum is filled with everything from historical artifacts of the days of slavery to pop culture relics.
"In essence what you will find in this museum is a tension. A tension between difficult moments and a tension between moments that are full of happiness hope and resiliency," Bunch said.
And with Obama's dedication on Saturday, the journey for the museum has truly come full circle. Booker said the presence of the first black president coupled with the museum's opening will mark "spiritual culmination" of sorts.
"I mean these two moments in history have met up in a beautiful way, almost as if it were sort of ordained by the spirits, like the heavens are sort of rejoicing," he said. "I just think it's a wonderful exclamation point on the journey of this museum.

With the ringing of a bell and a speech from President Obama, the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington is to officially open its extraordinary collection to the public on Saturday. But the museum can claim another, equally important achievement: helping resolve the protracted debate about the contributions of black people to American history and, indeed, about whether they had a history worth preserving at all. Those questions were at the heart of the nation's original debate about whether, and how, black lives matter.
For years, the issue was whether black people were fit to be more than slaves. "Never yet could I find that a black had uttered a thought above the level of plain narration; never see even an elementary trait of painting or sculpture," Thomas Jefferson wrote. "I advance it, therefore, as a suspicion only, that the blacks, whether originally a distinct race, or made distinct by time and circumstances, are inferior to the whites in the endowments both of body and mind."…
In the 1880s, George Washington Williams, whom the historian John Hope Franklin called "the first serious historian of his race," published the "History of the Negro Race in America from 1619 to 1880"; he confessed that part of his motivation was "to call the attention to the absurd charge that the Negro does not belong to the human family."
About a decade later, W.E.B. Du Bois became the first black person to earn a Ph.D. (in history) at Harvard, followed by Carter G. Woodson, a founder of Negro History Week, who wanted to make history by writing it. "If a race has no history," he wrote, "it stands in danger of being exterminated." Arthur A. Schomburg, the famous bibliophile, posited a solution: "The American Negro must remake his past in order to make his future." History "must restore what slavery took away."
This mandate to rewrite the status of the race by writing the history of its achievements was too broad to be contained only in books. Public history mattered, too. In 1915, Woodson and several of his friends established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, in part to popularize the study of black history. That same year, black leaders called for a memorial to honor black veterans. And a year later — exactly a century ago — Representative Leonidas C. Dyer, a Missouri Republican, introduced legislation to create a monument in their honor. After decades of resistance, that effort took a giant leap forward in 2003, when Congress passed bipartisan legislation to build the museum that was signed by President George W. Bush.
Some $540 million later, the first black president will open the museum's doors…We can only imagine the triumph that the pioneers of black history would feel had they lived to see this occasion.
More than a museum, the building on the National Mall is a refutation of two and a half centuries of the misuse of history to reinforce a social order in which black people were enslaved, then systematically repressed and denied their rights when freed. It also repudiates the long and dismal tradition of objectifying black people in museums….
[The NMAAHC] reinscribes race at a symbolically central place in American culture, on the National Mall, where we celebrate our collective public histories, ensuring that a mountain of evidence about black contributions to America will be on permanent display. It does this on the same mall shared by those symbols of the founding fathers' hypocritical slaveholding past, the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial, which the new museum, brilliantly designed by David Adjaye, complements and also deconstructs.

Because America's Black Holocaust Museum (ABHM) is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, visitors to ABHM online have inquired about our response to the recent unrest in a predominantly black neighborhood in our city. Though not immediately apparent on the ABHM website, our museum's principal spokesperson has been helping local, national, and international press explain these events by supplying interviews and articles. (See links to several of these below.)
For twenty-eight years, ABHM has provided a safe place where people of all backgrounds can learn about America's racial history and talk straightforwardly about race and racism. Online, our museum tells many of the stories seldom told in American history books and documents how that history affects our society today. Offline, we present frequent talks and facilitate interracial dialogs in this community and beyond.
When a group of young people took out their anger and frustrations with local policing and poverty by setting fire to a police car and three businesses, many people seemed surprised. We were not. This was a combustible situation. That car and those establishments represented the complex set of debilitating conditions that have hurt Milwaukee's African American community for generations. During the 1960's struggle for civil rights here, there were calls to find remedies for institutional discrimination. Fifty years later, those remedies remain largely unimplemented.
The UN General Assembly proclaimed 2015-2024 as the International Decade for People of African Descent with the goal of achieving "recognition, justice and development." Can we achieve these in the USA? We believe that ABHM can be part of the solution.
Our museum's founder, Dr. James Cameron, worked all his life to educate Americans about the ways that ongoing racial injustice prevents America from living up to its stated ideals of liberty and justice for all. Despite being lynched as a teenager, he always dreamed that Americans would come together to form "one single and sacred nationality."
ABHM is a Site of Conscience, member of a coalition of memorial museums and sites in active and post-conflict zones around the world. As such, we help our compatriots understand how America's racial history affects our country today and how, together, we can create a bright and fair tomorrow for all America's children.

SPARTA, Ga. — When the deputy sheriff's patrol cruiser pulled up beside him as he walked down Broad Street at sunset last August, Martee Flournoy, a 32-year-old black man, was both confused and rattled. He had reason: In this corner of rural Georgia, African-Americans are arrested at a rate far higher than that of whites.
But the deputy had not come to arrest Mr. Flournoy. Rather, he had come to challenge Mr. Flournoy's right to vote.
The majority-white Hancock County Board of Elections and Registration was systematically questioning the registrations of more than 180 black Sparta citizens — a fifth of the city's registered voters — by dispatching deputies with summonses commanding them to appear in person to prove their residence or lose their voting rights. "When I read that letter, I was kind of nervous," Mr. Flournoy said in an interview. "I didn't know what to do."
The board's aim, a lawsuit later claimed, was to give an edge to white candidates in Sparta's municipal elections — and that November, a white mayoral candidate won a narrow victory.
"A lot of those people that was challenged probably didn't vote, even though they weren't proven to be wrong," said Marion Warren, a Sparta elections official who documented the purges and raised an alarm with voting-rights advocates. "People just do not understand why a sheriff is coming to their house to bring them a subpoena, especially if they haven't committed any crime."
The county attorney, Barry A. Fleming, a Republican state representative, said in an interview that the elections board was only trying to restore order to an electoral process tainted earlier by corruption and incompetence. The lawsuit is overblown, he suggested, because only a fraction of the targeted voters were ultimately scratched from the rolls.
"The allegations that people were denied the right to vote are the opposite of the truth," he said. "This is probably more about politics and power than race."
But the purge of Sparta voters is precisely the sort of electoral maneuver that once would have needed Justice Department approval before it could be put in effect. In Georgia and all or part of 14 other states, the 1965 Voting Rights Act required jurisdictions with histories of voter discrimination to receive so-called preclearance before changing the way voter registration and elections were conducted.
Three years ago, the Supreme Court declared the preclearance mandate unconstitutional, saying the blatant discrimination it was meant to prevent was largely a thing of the past.
But since the Supreme Court's 5-to-4 ruling in the voting-rights case, Shelby County v. Holder, critics argue, the blatant efforts to keep minorities from voting have been supplanted by a blizzard of more subtle changes. Most conspicuous have been state efforts like voter ID laws or cutbacks in early voting periods, which critics say disproportionately affect minorities and the poor. Less apparent, but often just as contentious, have been numerous voting changes enacted in counties and towns across the South and elsewhere around the country.
They appear as Republican legislatures and election officials in the South and elsewhere have imposed statewide restrictions on voting that could depress turnout by minorities and other Democrat-leaning groups in a crucial presidential election year. Georgia and North Carolina, two states whose campaigns against so-called voter fraud have been cast by critics as aimed at black voters, could both be contested states in autumn's presidential election.
Kristen Clarke, the president of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a leading voting-rights advocacy group, said that before the Supreme Court's Shelby County ruling, discriminatory laws and procedures had been blocked by the preclearance provisions.
Now, she said, "We're seeing widespread proliferation of these laws. And we are left only with the ability to mount slow, costly case-by-case challenges" to their legality….
The local voting changes have often gone unnoticed and unchallenged. A June survey by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund found that governments in six former preclearance states have closed registration or polling places, making it harder for minorities to vote. Local jurisdictions in six more redrew districts or changed election rules in ways that diluted minorities' votes…..
But perhaps none of the battles is more striking than the one in Hancock County, about 100 miles southeast of Atlanta, where three in four of the roughly 10,000 residents are black. The racial divide here is deep and prolonged; the white mayor of the county seat, Sparta, made headlines in 1970 after responding to black citizens' school-desegregation protests by equipping the town's six-member police force with submachine guns.
By the 1990s, the Justice Department had invoked its preclearance authority to block measures that it said would weaken minority representation on the Sparta City Council, but political control of the county was frequently split. By last year, black politicians ran Sparta, a white majority controlled the Hancock County commission, and a furious contest was underway between black and white slates to control the next Sparta administration.
The five-member Hancock County Board of Elections and Registration was controlled by three white members — the chairwoman, appointed by a local judge, and two members appointed by the Hancock County Republican Committee — one of whom, curiously, is a Democrat. According to documents filed in a federal lawsuit in nearby Macon, the board began taking steps last August that seemed destined to tilt the playing field to the white slate's advantage.
The board first proposed to close all but one of the county's 10 polling places, a move the N.A.A.C.P. and other minority advocates argued would disenfranchise rural blacks who could not travel long distances to vote. Board members eventually chose to eliminate just one predominantly black precinct. But around the same time, they began to winnow the county's roll of registered voters, ordering an aide to compare the registrants' stated addresses with those on their driver's licenses to spot voters who had moved after registering to vote.
By October, a month before the city election, the board and a private citizen who appears to have worked with its white members had challenged the legality of 187 registered voters in Sparta. The board removed 53 of them, virtually all African-Americans — roughly one of every 20 voters. As a "courtesy," court papers state, county sheriff's deputies served summonses on the targeted voters, commanding them to defend themselves at election board meetings.
Some did, and were restored to the rolls. Others reacted differently to a police officer's knock on their door.
"A lot of voters are actually calling to say they no longer wish to be on the list, so now we have people coming off the list who no longer want to vote," Tiffany Medlock, the elections supervisor for the Hancock County elections board, told a Macon television reporter in late September. "It'll probably affect the City of Sparta's election in a major way…."

A federal appeals court decisively struck down North Carolina's voter identification law on Friday, saying its provisions deliberately "target African-Americans with almost surgical precision" in an effort to depress black turnout at the polls.
The sweeping 83-page decision by a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upended voting procedures in a battleground state about three months before Election Day. That ruling and a second wide-ranging decision on Friday, in Wisconsin, continued a string of recent court opinions against restrictive voting laws that critics say were created solely to keep minority and other traditionally Democratic voters away from the polls.
The North Carolina ruling tossed out the state's requirement that voters present photo identification at the polls and restored voters' ability to register on Election Day, to register before reaching the 18-year-old voting age, and to cast early ballots, provisions the law had fully or partly eliminated….
In the Wisconsin decision, Judge James D. Peterson of Federal District Court ruled that parts of Wisconsin's 2011 voter ID law are unconstitutional. He ordered the state to make photo IDs more easily available to voters and to broaden the range of student IDs that are accepted at the ballot box.
The decision also threw out other rules that lengthened the residency requirement for newly registered voters, banned distributing absentee ballots by fax or email and sharply restricted the locations and times at which municipal voters, many of them Milwaukee blacks, could cast absentee ballots in person.
Judge Peterson's sharply worded 119-page ruling suggested that Wisconsin's voter restrictions, as well as voter ID restrictions in Indiana that have been upheld in the Supreme Court, exist only to suppress votes.
"The evidence in this case casts doubt on the notion that voter ID laws foster integrity and confidence," he wrote. "The Wisconsin experience demonstrates that a preoccupation with mostly phantom election fraud leads to real incidents of disenfranchisement which undermine rather than enhance confidence in elections.''
The court decisions — the third and fourth federal rulings in recent weeks against Republican-enacted voting restrictions — were made as the two political parties raced from their summer conventions into the critical final months of the campaign, with Wisconsin, like North Carolina, considered a contested state.
North Carolina's Republican-controlled legislature rewrote the state's voting rules in 2013 shortly after the Supreme Court struck down a section of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that had given the Justice Department the power to oversee changes in election procedures in areas with a history of racial discrimination….
Civil rights advocates and the Justice Department had sued to block the law, but a Federal District Court judge upheld it in April, writing that the state's "significant, shameful past discrimination" had largely abated in the last 25 years.
On Friday, the three-judge panel emphatically disagreed, saying the lower court's amply documented ruling had failed to consider "the inextricable link between race and politics in North Carolina."
The judges noted that Republican leaders had drafted their restrictions on voting only after receiving data indicating that African-Americans would be the voters most significantly affected by them.

As sirens blare through the warm summer air on a recent Milwaukee night, a group of about 40 demonstrators gathered on the corner of North 7th and West Ring streets near a pedestrian overpass spanning the I-43 freeway….
The demonstration was a collaboration between Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) Milwaukee and the Overpass Light Brigade (OLB) in solidarity with the family of Jay Anderson, a 25-year-old black man who was killed by police in June while sitting in his car at a Wauwatosa park. Other chapters of SURJ, a national network of groups and individuals organizing white people for racial justice, held solidarity demonstrations across the country to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement, which has called for the end of police violence against black people.
The demonstrators, diverse in age and race, displayed the words "Black Lives Matter" for drivers traveling north on the expressway using OLB's signature lighted letters. Lane Hall, a member of the Overpass Light Brigade, called the demonstration "a celebration, and a vigil, and a witness." Attendees held the signs for about an hour, receiving supportive beeps from many passersby.
Claire Van Fossen, a white co-organizer of Milwaukee's SURJ chapter, said the goal of the demonstration was to interrupt the daily routine of white people, "who can move so easily through our lives without having to be conscious of this kind of horror and terror that black people are enduring every day." The Anderson family was expected to be present, but did not attend after seeing the video of Jay's death for the first time, an experience Van Fossen, who has been in contact with the family, described as "horrible."
Last week, the family, along with supporters, demanded that the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office release full video footage of the incident, the name of the officer who shot Anderson and other evidence relating to the case.
Turning a corner
In the wake of the recent police killings of two black men, Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, public opinion, particularly among white people, has started to shift, according to Van Fossen. She said 40 new SURJ chapters have formed in the weeks since the incidents, which set off another set of protests nationwide. Van Fossen said "several hundred people" have joined the local group's Facebook page during that time, as well.
"We've received dozens of emails from white folks saying, 'I've stayed silent on this too long,'" she said….
Kirsten Maier, 25, said an eye-opening experience for her was being able to point the finger back at herself. "I think one important thing that happened for me was … I, at some point, gained the ability to say out loud that I do act and think in ways that are racist," she said. "And that's not me, as a person; that's the institutions that raised me."
Maier, who has been involved with SURJ Milwaukee for about a year, said it's important for white people to educate other white people "who haven't given much thought to the ways that our institutions are racist." She said white people can support people of color by showing up to protests and other demonstrations, and to talk about these issues with friends, family and coworkers….
"I think we have turned a corner," Van Fossen said. "I think we're at a seminal moment in our history, as a people, and I'm hopeful that things will improve" as more people are ready to take action….

While the media has heavily covered Islamist terrorist activity and the recent deadly ambushes on police, it has largely overlooked increasingly brazen demonstrations and violence by the Far Right. In the last year, the level of violence has ramped up dramatically and is only now hitting its stride.
On July 7, Michael Strickland, a right-wing journalist who videotapes left-leaning protests and puts participants' photos on the Internet, was arrested after waving a gun at a Portland Black Lives Matter rally. He claimed that he feared for his life. because someone allegedly shoved him while he was taping the peaceful demonstration.
After a late June confrontation with fascists who had secured a permit to rally at the California state courthouse, nine counter-protestors were hospitalized, with five of them stabbed. The fascists, operating under the banner of the Traditionalist Worker Party (but comprised mostly of members of the neo-Nazi Golden State Skinheads), fled after the clash with protestors. A loaded gun was left at the scene, which anti-fascists claimed neo-Nazis has dropped as they ran away.
Four months before, on February 28, three anti-racist activists were stabbed while confronting Ku Klux Klan members who were attempting to rally in Anaheim, California.
Patriot Movement paramilitaries took over an Oregon wildlife refuge for 41 days in January, their fourth armed encampment in two years.
And all of this has happened barely a year after 21-year-old White supremacist Dylann Roof attended a bible study session at Charleston, South Carolina's historic Emanuel AME Church, and then fatally shot nine Black worshippers.
This violence needs to serve as a wake-up call.
The media is not hiding these incidents, but they are reported in isolation from each other. Taken together, they paint a picture of a resurgent, armed radical right-wing movement, which ranges from Patriot Movement paramilitaries to neo-Nazis. In the last year, this part of the Right has become brazen in ways not seen in years. They have lost their fear of seizing federal facilities at gunpoint, stabbing anti-fascist protestors, and shooting at Black Lives Matter rallies.
While Donald Trump has "disavowed and will continue to disavow the support of any such groups associated with a message of hate," the Republican presidential nominee has inspired and energized White supremacist organizers. In May, The Wall Street Journal reported that prominent fascist Andrew Anglin calls Trump "the Glorious Leader." As Trump won multiple primaries in May, Anglin wrote on his Daily Stormer website, "White men in America and across the planet are partying like it's 1999 following Trump's decisive victory over the evil enemies of our race." Mother Jones reports that William Johnson, the American Freedom Party leader whom Trump named as a delegate then rescinded the offer, has funded paranoid robocalls including one that decries how "the White race is dying out in America and Europe because we are afraid to be called 'racist.'" "Trump's candidacy has absolutely electrified the radical right," Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center has told The Wall Street Journal….

U.S. state and local spending on prisons and jails grew at three times the rate of spending on schools over the last 33 years as the number of Americans behind bars ballooned under a spate of harsh sentencing laws, a government report released Thursday said.
U.S. Secretary of Education John King said the report's stark numbers should make state and local governments reevaluate their spending priorities and channel more money toward education.
Between 1979 and 2012, state and local government expenditures grew by 107 percent to $534 billion from $258 billion for elementary and secondary education, while corrections spending rose by 324 percent to $71 billion from $17 billion, the U.S. Department of Education report found.
In that same period, the population of state and local corrections facilities surged more than four-fold to nearly 2.1 million from around 467,000, more than seven times the growth rate of the U.S. population overall. The prison population shot up following the widespread adoption of mandatory minimum sentence laws in the 1990s.
Seven states – Idaho, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia – each exceeded the average rate, increasing their corrections spending five times as fast as they did their pre-kindergarten to grade 12 education spending.
In just two states – New Hampshire and Massachusetts – growth in corrections expenditures did not surpass P-12 expenditures, even after accounting for changes in population. The report did not analyze different state policies that could explain these exceptions, King said on a conference call.
State and local spending on postsecondary education has remained mostly flat since 1990, the report said. Average state and local per capita spending on corrections increased by 44 percent as higher education funding per full-time equivalent student decreased by 28 percent, it said.
Two-thirds of state prison inmates did not complete high school, the report said.
A 10 percent increase in high school graduation rates would result in a 9 percent decline in criminal arrest rates, King said.
The United States spends about $80 billion a year on incarceration, White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett said on the conference call.
"One in three Americans of working age have a criminal record," she said. "That creates an often insurmountable barrier to successful reentry."

I was getting yet another opinion on my decision to travel to Afghanistan. The statement was said out of love, in an effort to remind me that I should be aware of my surroundings and behavior. Just because I was a strong, independent woman, I should be sure to remember to respect local culture. But it was also coming from someone who had never traveled to Afghanistan.

More Turkish Colonists on the Way
In recent years, many European governments have grasped that the Muslims are using family reunification or marriage rules to bypass normal immigration requirements. Consequently, the rules have been tightened. In Austria, for example, prospective immigrants seeking admission to the country based on marriage or family reunification now have to demonstrate a basic knowledge of German.
All of those efforts to limit Muslim colonisation have now been swept away by a decision of the European Court of Justice, at least in relation to Turks. The court ruled that Turks were entitled to be treated in accordance with the association agreement Turkey signed with the European Community decades ago. Any tightening of the rules since then has been invalidated. Since Austria joined the EU in 1995, Turks must now be treated in accordance with the rules in force then. That means goodbye German-language requirement. Germany is in a similar situation but, in its case, the applicable rules date from 1971.
This is very bad news for Germany and Austria as most of the Muslim colonists there are Turks.

And even though Germany or Austria may be the first EU countries of entry for these Turkish immigrants, once inside the EU such immigrants are completely free to move to any other EU country.

Ethnic restaurants provide a taste of variety for everyone not lucky enough to travel frequently or secretly live in the United Nations food court. Have a far-flung feast with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $10 for $20 worth of teppanyaki, sushi, or hibachi
- Click to see the menu.
Taisho Japanese Grill & Bar
Taisho is so serious about hibachi and teppanyaki that they have an entire room devoted to it: in the Hibachi Room, chefs sear meats and veggies on specialized tabletop grills, flipping them theatrically onto a cushion of rice, in turn located on guests' plates. Their performances are not limited to the Hibachi Room though, as they can also pull tableside grills up to the main dining room's semi-private circular booths. In either space, they let guests choose to have their teppanyaki plates bulked up with a diverse selection of meats and seafood, including teriyaki chicken, sirloin, gulf shrimp, or scallops.
The chef's specialty entrees include sashimi-grade tuna steak with an apple-olive sauce and macadamia chicken sweetened with pineapple, combining more flavors than Manhattan combines people of different walks of life who all hate hailing cabs. Beyond the flames shooting up from the grills, the ambience on Friday and Saturday evenings is set by a rotating lineup of musicians that create soothing background sounds.

Since December 2013, my wife and I add our desire list and New Year's Promises for the upcoming year in a spreadsheet. And doing this we achieved 90% of the desires for 2014 and 60% for 2015, and we also took a note about the things that happened without planning (that's a long list too \o/ ). It was very grateful to see the amount of things we've done in a year, things that we couldn't see because people nowadays almost never pay attention in their daily lives.
So it became a habit making New Year's Promises in a spreadsheet all ending year. And as a plus, it's good to check the list from time to time, to see if you're in the way you planned, or if your life path has changed. If it has changed, you may have to alter your goals for the year. I don't know why it works, sometimes I think it's all about focus, or keeping your mind in a line to desire it so much, that the universe conspires in your favor.
Well, in 2015 we achieved some goals, such as my university degree, my weight loss (I still have some belly to loss, but I have time to loose it), my first half-marathon, my wife's weight gain, her dental treatment, her job promotion, and we'll close this year by having an awesome trip to Rio de Janeiro, a city she was born and I never got a chance to go. 2015 was indeed a great year for us!
There was some things we can't made, such as my project of reading one book per month, our home improvement, and her post graduation. In other hand, some things we didn't plan happened: I finished some frozen business, we've got our first tattoo, she started her driver's license process, and we've got our first flight together. I know, some of these goals aren't big, but that's the fun: enjoying every achievement.
I suggest you to do the same, you'll see the power of this in your life. But you have to put things that are possible to do, and you have to desire it for real! You don't need a spreadsheet to do this, you can write it down in a paper, for example, or in another type of digital document. Just write it down and check it once in a while, I hope it works for you too.
This is a summary of my desire list to 2016:
- Put in practice the 8 Things Every Person Should Do Before 8 a.m.
- Write at least 2 articles per month in English.
- Improve my English and take a test like TOEFL or IELTS.
- Retake my studies about JavaScript and web.
- Start studying IoT.
- Give Talks in at least 2 different states from mine.
- Run a half-marathon under 2 hours
Let's see how I'll end my 2016. It will be more than a challenge for me, but you can see all these things I desire is possible to become real. Hard, but possible! And that's how it works…
Happy New Year!!!

Rasalgad | FortHeight : 1770 Ft. | ||
Type : Hill forts | Fort Range : Khed | ||
District : Ratnagiri | Grade : Easy | ||
The Sahyadri range extends in North – South direction along the Konkan coast. There are many mountain ranges that branch-off over several miles from the main Sahyadri mountain range. Beyond Poladpur, as we head towards Chiplun via Khed, we come across the forts of Rasalgad, Sumargad, and Mahipatgad. These forts lie in Jawali forest region. Youngsters also plan a trek as Pratapgad – Madhumakarandgad – Rasalagad - Sumargad - Mahipatgad. | |||
Fascinating Spots : |
The fort is quite small and it takes almost one and half hours to see the whole fort. The route to the fort starts from a village near foothills of the fort, which is known as Rasalwadi. Once we reach the fort, we come across two doors. Entering through first door, we come across a temple of Lord Hanuman. Beyond the temple, lies the second door. Entering through the second door, we come across huge cannon of those days placed on the wall of the fort. Cannons are one of the significant features of this fort. About 16 cannons can be found on this fort. The top of this fort is almost a flat plateau. There is a temple of Godess Zolai on the top, which has been recently renovated. One can find many small statues of Gods & Goddesses being kept in the temple. There is a Deepmal, a vertical structure made for lighting oil-lamps, and a plant of Tulsi in front of the temple. A Cannon can also be seen lying nearby. Next to the temple, is a small lake, the water from which is good enough for drinking. Behind this temple is the temple of Lord Shiva. Ahead of the Cistern, there is a hilly terrain portion which was known as citadel of this fort. Citadel has many remains of castles and ramparts carrying cannons. One can notice a stone-masonry room which could be a food grain storage facility. There are two lakes on the citadel having water suitable for drinking. These lakes are perennial. A river flows to South-West side of this fort. | ||
Ways To Reach : | ||
From Beed Villege : | ||
Board a bus towards Khed or Vadgaon from Birmani and alight at Humberi junction. From Humberi junction, a 1 hour journey takes us to village called Beed. From Beed one can reach to this fort in approximately 1 ˝ hours. | ||
From Nimni Villege : | ||
Board a bus from Khed to Nimni village. From Nimni village, one can reach this fort via Rasalwadi within an hour. The route is quite simple. | ||
From Mouze Jaitapur Villege : | ||
Board a bus from Khed to Mouze Jaitapur. From Mouze Jaitapur, one can reach this fort via Rasalwadi within couple of hours. The route is quite simple. | ||
Accommodation Facility : | ||
One can avail accommodation in Zolai Temple which can host 30 to 40 persons. | ||
Food Facility : | ||
One has to make his own arrangement for food. | ||
Drinking Water Facility : | ||
Drinking water is available on the fort throughout the year. | ||
Time To Reach : | ||
1 hour via Beed village 1˝ hour via Nimni village 2 hours via Mouze Jaitpur village |

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
When Steve Ballmer announced he was stepping out as CEO in August, industry watchers said the world's largest software maker needed an outsider to step in and shake things up at a company trying to transform itself into a devices and services company.
What a difference five months makes.
Microsoft's board is now reportedly negotiating with Satya Nadella, a 22-year Microsoft veteran credited with helping grow the cloud computing business. Nadella's rise to the top of the CEO search list comes after three external candidates were counted out of the running in recent weeks – Ford CEO Alan Mulally, CEO Hans Vestberg and COO Steve Mollenkopf, who was named the next CEO of the mobile chip maker last month after Microsoft's interest in him became known.
It also comes after Microsoft last month reported a 14 percent jump in quarterly sales to a record $24.5 billion, a sign it is making progress selling devices, including its Surface tablet and Xbox game console, and Web-based Office 365 software and Azure cloud services. CFO Amy Hood, who has been in the top finance job since May, is also earning praise for her work controlling costs and is being touted as a strong executive who could take on a more prominent role and bring the operational expertise that tech-savvy Nadella lacks.
"Mr. Nadella is a strong choice for the role, given his impressive track record leading Microsoft's enterprise and cloud business," Barclay's analyst Raimo Lenschow told investors last week. "Further, we believe the most recent quarter demonstrated the effectiveness that Amy Hood, the new CFO, is having, particularly around cost control, realigning the business, and setting expectations…The combination of Mr. Nadella and Ms. Hood could be a recipe for successfully managing Microsoft's transition to a 'devices & services' company and, ultimately, driving better shareholder value."
"He is well thought of," longtime industry analyst Roger Kay of Endpoint Technologies says of Nadella. "As an insider, he'll know the culture and has the respect of the senior software engineers, something that an outsider would have a hard time doing."
Still, that doesn't mean Nadella's leadership will be without challenges. "He has been steeped in the corrosive practices of the Steve Ballmer regime and will be less able to bring a fresh outlook to the company," Kay says.
Microsoft has had only two CEOs in its history: Gates, who co-founded Microsoft in 1975, and Ballmer, who joined the Redmond, Washington company in 1980 as its 30th employee and was named CEO in 2000. Gates, currently chairman of the board, said last month that his philanthropic efforts with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are his life's work, but that he would continue to help Microsoft's board "part time."
Even so, what role Gates will play in the new regime continues to be the source of speculation. Reuters, citing sources, said Nadella may ask that Gates step aside as chairman and instead focus on helping him with Microsoft's technology strategy.
'Tweak the Model'
"Nadella would likely be a "tweak the model" leader rather than a 'transformational' CEO but, in our view, would likely push Microsoft further into the cloud computing era given his current focus on Azure and he could shift Microsoft's focus even more to the non-PC enterprise business, which has been driving the overall company's growth for some time," said Karl Keirstad of Deutsche Bank. "The front-runner appears to be Satya Nadella as he most closely fits the mold of having depth/vision on the product side as well as strategic decision-making," noted Citi analyst Walter Pritchard.
While he isn't the only Microsoft insider to be considered — Skype lead Tony Bates, Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner and Nokia CEO Stephen Elop have also been touted as potential successors to Ballmer —last week, Re/code, Bloomberg News, Reuters and others said the board, which had narrowed down its search from more than 100 candidates, was in the final stages of talks with Nadella, 46, a native of Hyderabad, India
"In turning to Nadella, the company would get an enterprise-technology veteran who joined Microsoft in 1992 and has had leadership roles in cloud services, server software, Internet search and business applications," Bloomberg said. "As president of Microsoft's server business, Nadella boosted revenue to $20.3 billion in the fiscal year through June, up from $16.6 billion when he took over in 2011. That unit became cloud and enterprise when Ballmer overhauled Microsoft's structure in July to focus the company on devices and services."
"Nadella is praised for his role in overseeing growth in the company's cloud computing and Bing search engine business, and as a technologist with a talent for marketing," Reuters said. "Critics say he failed to halt Google Inc's dominance in the search engine business. They say Microsoft's entry into the cloud-computing arena was late and clunky, allowing Amazon.com Inc to set the standard in providing online computing platforms for companies."
The search for a successor is being led by a special committee of Microsoft's board, and chaired by John Thompson, the lead independent director. It includes Gates, Chairman of the Audit Committee Chuck Noski and Chairman of the Compensation Committee Steve Luczo, who is CEO of disk driver maker Seagate. Thompson said in a December blog post that the board planned to announce Microsoft's new leader in the "early part of 2014."

Urology Jeffrey La Rochelle; Brian Shuch; Arie Belldegrun ++ 1. In the surgical treatment of invasive bladder cancer, a thorough lymph node dissection is essential. ++ 2. Patients with testicular cancer without radiographic evidence of metastasis often harbor microscopic deposits of disease and require either adjuvant treatment or very close surveillance. ++ 3. Nephrectomy is the mainstay of treatment for localized renal cell carcinoma, and it also provides a survival benefit in the setting of metastatic disease. ++ 4. The vast majority of renal trauma can be treated conservatively, with early surgical intervention reserved for persistent bleeding or renal vascular injuries. ++ 5. Distal ureteral injuries should only be treated with bladder reimplantation because of the high failure rate of distal uretero-ureterostomies. ++ 6. Extraperitoneal bladder ruptures can be treated conservatively but intraperitoneal ruptures typically require surgical repair. ++ 7. Nearly all episodes of acute urinary retention can be treated with conservative measures such as decreasing narcotic usage and increasing ambulation. ++ 8. Testicular torsion is an emergency where successful testicular salvage is inversely related to the delay in repair, so cases with a high degree of clinical suspicion should not wait for a radiologic diagnosis. ++ 9. Fournier's gangrene is a potentially lethal condition that requires aggressive débridement and close follow-up due to the frequent need for repeat débridement. ++ 10. Most small ureteral calculi will pass spontaneously, but larger stones (>6 mm) are better treated with ureteral stenting and lithotripsy. ++ The anatomic structures that fall under the purview of genitourinary surgery are the kidneys, adrenals, ureters, bladder, prostate, seminal vesicles, urethra, vas deferens, and testes. They are situated mainly outside the peritoneum, but urologic surgery frequently involves intraperitoneal approaches to the kidney, bladder, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Furthermore, urologists must be familiar with the techniques of intestinal surgery for the purposes of urinary diversion and bladder augmentation. ++ Kidney and Adrenal ++ The kidneys are paired retroperitoneal organs that are invested in a fibro-fatty layer: Gerota's fascia. Posterolaterally, the kidneys are bordered by the quadratus lumborum and posteromedially by the psoas muscle. Anteriorly they are confined by the posterior layer of the peritoneum. On the left, the spleen lies superolaterally, separated from the kidney and Gerota's fascia by the peritoneum. On the right, the liver is situated superiorly and anteriorly and also is separated by the peritoneum. The second portion of the duodenum is in close proximity to the right renal vessels and, during right renal surgery, it must be reflected anteromedially (Kocherized) to achieve vascular control. The renal arteries, in the typical configuration, are single vessels extending from the aorta that branch into several segmental arteries before entering the renal sinus. The right renal artery passes posterior to the vena cava and is significantly longer than the left renal artery. Occasionally, the kidney is supplied by a second renal artery, typically to the lower pole. Within the ...

NASA'S Phonesat Wins 2012 Popular Science Best of What's New Award
Nov 14, 2012 (National Aeronautics and Space Administration Documents/ContentWorks via COMTEX) -- Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1730 firstname.lastname@example.com Rachel Hoover Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif.
650-604-4789 firstname.lastname@example.com Nov. 14, 2012 RELEASE : 12-396 NASA'S Phonesat Wins 2012 Popular Science Best of What's New Award WASHINGTON -- NASA's PhoneSat project has won Popular Science's 2012 Best of What's New Award for innovation in aerospace. PhoneSat will demonstrate the ability to launch one of the lowest-cost, easiest-to-build satellites ever flown in space -- capabilities enabled by using off-the-shelf consumer smartphones.
Each year, Popular Science reviews thousands of new products and innovations, and chooses the top 100 winners across 12 categories for its annual Best of What's New issue. To win, a product or technology must represent a significant step forward in its category. All of the winners will be featured in the December special issue of the magazine.
"NASA's PhoneSat mission will demonstrate use of small satellites for space commerce, educational activities and citizen-exploration are well within the reach of ordinary Americans because of lower cost, commercially available components," said Michael Gazarik, director of NASA's Space Technology Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Thanks to America's continuing investment in space technology to enable NASA missions, we've seen space tech brought down and into our lives here on Earth. With PhoneSat, we're doubling up, and taking those same great technologies back to space." NASA's PhoneSat 1.0 satellite has a basic mission goal -- to function in space for a short period of time, sending back digital imagery of Earth and space via its camera, while also sending back information about the satellite's health.
NASA engineers kept the total cost of the components to build each of the three prototype satellites in the PhoneSat project to $3,500 by using only commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and establishing minimum design and mission objectives for the first flight.
Each NASA PhoneSat 'nanosatellite' is a 4-inch cube and weighs three pounds. NASA's PhoneSat design makes extensive use of an unmodified, consumer-grade smartphone. Out-of-the-box smartphones offer capabilities needed for satellites, including fast processors, versatile operating systems, multiple miniature sensors, high-resolution cameras, GPS receivers, and several radios.
"NASA PhoneSat engineers are changing the way missions are designed by rapidly prototyping and incorporating existing commercial technologies and hardware," said S. Pete Worden, director of NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., where a small team of engineers developed and built PhoneSat. "This approach allows engineers to see what capabilities commercial technologies can provide, rather than trying to custom-design technology solutions to meet set requirements." NASA's prototype smartphone satellite, known as PhoneSat 1.0, is built around the Nexus One smartphone made by HTC Corp., which runs Google's Android operating system. The Nexus One acts as the spacecraft's onboard computer. Commercial-off-the-shelf parts include an open-source, micro controller adapted as a watchdog circuit that monitors the systems and reboots the phone if it stops sending radio signals.
NASA's PhoneSat 2.0 will lay the foundation for new capabilities for small-sized satellites, while advancing breakthrough technologies and decreasing costs of future small spacecraft. PhoneSat 2.0 will be equipped with an updated Nexus S smartphone made by Samsung Electronics which runs Google's Android operating system to provide a faster core processor, avionics and gyroscopes.
PhoneSat 2.0 will supplement the capabilities of PhoneSat 1.0 by adding solar panels to enable longer-duration missions and a GPS receiver. In addition, PhoneSat 2.0 also will add magnetorquer coils -- electro-magnets that interact with Earth's magnetic field -- as well as reaction wheels to actively control the satellite's orientation in space.
A beta version of PhoneSat 2.0 will accompany two PhoneSat 1.0 spacecraft aboard the maiden flight of Orbital Sciences Corporation's Antares rocket from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility at Wallops Island, Va., in the coming months.
The PhoneSat project is a technology demonstration mission funded by NASA's Small Spacecraft Technology Program, which is managed by NASA's Space Technology Program. NASA's Space Technology Program is innovating, developing, testing, and flying technology for use in NASA's future missions and by the greater aerospace community.
