"It tells the story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who as a teenager in the late 1950s had an affair with an older woman, Hanna Schmitz, who then disappeared only to resurface years later as one of the defendants in a war crimes trial stemming from her actions as a guard at a Nazi concentration camp in the later years of World War II. Michael realizes that Hanna is keeping a personal secret she believes is worse than her Nazi past - a secret which, if revealed, could help her at the trial."
Hanna is convicted and is sentenced to life in prison. http://en.wikipedia.org...(2008_film)
I invite you to rent the film and then, either join me to debate the following question, or post your ideas and opinions as comments to the debate.
Is Hanna's sentence to life in prison a just sentence?
NO, I argue:
Hanna is both illiterate and functionally illiterate (her secret). 1 Both states of ignorance are disabling in a modern urban society. Both states caused her to be ashamed of both states, which caused her to erroneously think that she had to keep them a secret. Both states and her need to keep them secret directly deprived the court and her lawyer of crucial evidence, namely, her states of illiteracy. Consequently, Hanna did not receive a fair trial. Since the court did not receive crucial evidence, she did not receive a just sentence.
1. http://en.wikipedia.org...
First of all, i would expect my opponent to win because i do not have much time on my hands, and second of all i am rusty after such a long time.
Value: Justice. Justice is defined as giving each his or her own due. Since my opponent states no value, justice may be the accepted value.
Value Criterion: An unbiased court whose sole purpose is to serve justice. I understand that this will be a major controversy, since my opponent's point is the complete opposite. The trials were held in Germany by the UN. The reason the defendant, Hannah, was given a fair trial is because she had an association with the Nazis. And, at that time, Nazis given a harsh trial were considered to have a fair trial. This links to my value because in order to have pure justice, an unbiased court is required.
Contention One: The Nazis deserved a harsher trial. No matter what skeptics say, the Holocaust did occur, and what right did the Nazis have to take away more than one third of the Jewish population? Eleanor Roosevelt states, "It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself." So, is it fair to ask a certain religious group to die (and use force if necessary against them) if you yourself are unwilling to die? Why should millions of innocent people be killed so brutally and savagely if their killers are not ready to face the consequences? If anything, Hannah's trial was lenient. Many people back then half a century ago believed in an eye for an eye punishment. Strictly conservative people / Republicans today even believe in that type of punishment. Hannah, if anything, got it easy. Anyone affiliated with the Nazis was considered on the same level of a Nazi. That included prison guards, even if their role was infinitesimal. My contention links to my value criterion because at the time it was unbiased to give Nazis a harsher trial.
Contention Two: Despite current conditions in Germany, where crime is reduced, the Nazis had committed a crime far worse than any other, and they left a footprint on Earth. In the movie Freedom Writers, (if my opponent bases his/her whole case off a single movie, why can't i base one point off one movie?) opposing parties in school kill each other heartlessly. They all hate each other. However, their new teacher, one day, tells them that they are nothing. They do so much for honor, respect, and remembrance that they become blind killers. Their teacher tells them that they will not be remembered, because they are simply petty criminals. The crimes they commit are not even close to the crimes committed by another group. She asks the whole class if they know what the Holocaust is, and the only person in the class who knows is a Jewish kid who is harmless. She then explains about the Nazis, and takes the class on a field trip. The class learns about the horrible things that have happened, and they come to a realization that the crimes committed by Nazis are unmatchable. Alex Levin states, "The reason there is so little crime in Germany is that it's against the law." Any crime in Germany, even a small theft, can be harshly prosecuted today. The reason that this law was put in place was so that another event like the Holocaust would not occur again in Germany, which would annihilate the state's reputation. So many people become blind followers that the consequences are harsh, and have a reason to be. C.P. Snow states, "When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion." The people of Germany obeyed Hitler because he made them believe they were dominant. He was simply manipulating them, because he himself was not a true German, and did not have blond hair and blue eyes. It was just a petty compliment to "legitimately" gain political popularity and create the National Socialist German Workers Party. Hitler made Germany his soldiers, then executed his plan to dominate the world and eliminate the Jewish people. Hannah ties into this because she was one of the Germans with blond hair and blue eyes (based off the book) and she was one of Hitler's blind followers. Since she was a jail guard, she had association with the Nazis. No exception can be made for her. Neither the book nor the movie tell the whole story about Hannah. I highly doubt a movie or a book can go through many years of time without being thousands of pages long. The parts skipped are so ambiguous that we do not know how many people Hannah had to kill when she was a prison guard. My second contention ties into my value criterion because the severity of the overall crime was so great that it seemed lenient to put a person in jail for life and not have them brutally killed the same way they did to the Jews.
I really can not rebutt efficiently until my opponent clarifies on what "both states" is. If the opponent does not, his/her point must be dropped, as neither I nor the voters have a clear definition of what "both states" is. However, my rebuttal against my opponent's "contention" (more of a stand-alone point) is that in a court case back then, many things were reviewed many times. For example, in To Kill A Mockingbird, The judge was very fair towards Tom Robinson, the defendant. He reviewed many pieces of evidence numerous times, and when Mr. Bob Ewell was asked to sign his name, he wrote with the hand opposite of the side that his daughter's face was bruised. (His daughter was clearly raped and beaten by him.) The judge stated this point, and became suspicious of the father. Here, we can see, even with an African American defendant (who was regarded as the most untrustworthy person ever), the judge held all evidence in high regard equally. So during to 1940 - 1975 time period, evidence was held in higher regard, and all aspects of a person were reviewed. Therefore, Hannah must have received a fair trial.
Before concluding, in no part of my case am I trying to be racist, stereotypical, or insulting, so please do not accuse me of it. Thank you.
To conclude, you must vote for pro mainly because the general idea of a fair punishment was an eye for an eye, and many other points i have listed above, but I am too lazy to rewrite them... So, therefore, you must vote for Pro. Thank you for reading.
Since the factual context for this debate is the film (as my challenge clearly indicates), I had hoped that my opponent would quickly watch the film before accepting my challenge to debate the proposition Resolved, that Hanna's sentence to life in prison was not a just sentence. Regardless, since you have only read the book, during the debate you can cite the facts that you rely upon by citing the relevant pages in the book. I will cite facts from the film.
I will respond to your paragraphs that begin with the following five words: (1) Value (I agree), (2) Value Criterion (I disagree), (3) Contention One, (4) Contention Two, (5) "I really cannot..."
I contend that your argument violates these fundamental principles of jurisprudence, Equality Before The Law and the Presumption of Innocence. My argument implicitly relies upon both principles:
Equality Before The Law:
"Equality before the law or equality under the law or legal egalitarianism is the principle under which each individual is subject to the same laws, with no individual or group having special legal privileges. Legal egalitarianism admits no class structures entail separate legal practices. Thus, canon law, star chambers, and aristocracy are alike forbidden, and the testimony of all persons is counted with the same weight.
This political development arose in the 18th century in both the United States and France after their revolutionary periods. It was not immediately implemented in either place, with the United States retaining slavery and a distinction between naturalized and natural born citizens (still in place), and France descending into chaos and tyranny under Napoleon." http://en.wikipedia.org...
Presumption of Innocence:
"The presumption of innocence – being considered innocent until proved guilty – is a legal right that the accused in criminal trials has in many modern countries. The burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which has to collect and present enough compelling evidence to convince the trier of fact, who are restrained and ordered by law to consider only actual evidence and testimony that is legally admissible, and in most cases lawfully obtained, that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In case of remaining doubts, the accused is to be acquitted. This presumption is seen to stem from the Latin legal principle that ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (the burden of proof rests on who asserts, not on who denies)." http://en.wikipedia.org...
I contend that your following sentences violate the fundamental principles stated above:
(2) Value Criterion:
"The reason the defendant, Hannah, was given a fair trial is because she had an association with the Nazis."
Comment: This constitutes GUILT BY ASSOCIATION. However, in a criminal case the alleged criminal acts and a guilty intent must be proved by proof beyond a reasonable doubt, not by the defendant's mere association with other people.
"And, at that time, Nazis given a harsh trial were considered to have a fair trial."
Comment: What is a "harsh trial"? How can a "harsh trial" be a fair trial? You cite no authority for this argument.
(3) Contention One:
"The Nazis deserved a harsher trial."
"If anything, Hannah's trial was lenient."
"Hannah, if anything, got it easy. Anyone affiliated with the Nazis was considered on the same level of a Nazi. At the time it was unbiased to give Nazis a harsher trial."
Comment: It is self-evident that these contentions violate both principles of jurisprudence and they lack any support in any cited authority.
(4) Contention Two:
"Hannah ties into this because she was one of the Germans with blond hair and blue eyes (based off the book) and she was one of Hitler's blind followers. Since she was a jail guard, she had association with the Nazis. No exception can be made for her."
Comment: The argument in the first sentence is irrelevant; in the second, it violates the above principles.
(5) "I really cannot rebutt..."
My phrase "both states" refers to Hannah being both ILLITERATE and FUNCTIONALLY ILLITERATE. I implicitly argue that her sentence was unjust because the court did not know of her illiteracy. I challenge my opponent to show why her illiteracy was not a relevant mitigating circumstance relative to the sentence that she received.
Finally, I argue that Hannah's life sentence was unjust. My opponent has not shown that her sentence was just in relation to the sentences given to her co-defendants (and fellow prison guards). He has not discussed the justice or injustice of their lesser sentences. I challenge him to do so.
In the next round I will show why her sentence was unjust relative to the sentences given to her fellow defendants.
NJDebater forfeited this round.
In a criminal case, after the defendant has been found to be guilty of having committed the crime charged (by judge or jury), it is the duty of the court to impose a SENTENCE (punishment) on the defendant. In deciding upon the appropriate sentence to impose upon each defendant, the court assesses the defendant's CULPABILITY and also considers MITIGATING and AGGRAVATING circumstances. Finally, an aspect of justice is PROPORTIONALITY, which means that "the punishment should fit the crime", which means that we don't hang the petty thief in the town square.
Hanna was sentenced to life in prison. The other prison guards -her co-defendants- received sentences of four years in prison. All the defendants were charged and convicted of having kept the inmates under their charge locked in a burning church until virtually all were dead. Hanna's SENTENCE WAS UNJUST BECAUSE:
1. Hanna was not a Nazi; it is doubtful that she even sympathized with the Nazi ideology. She just worked as a guard to earn a living, to survive. She was functionally illiterate. When her existing employer wanted to promote her (which would disclose her illiteracy, to her humiliation), she quit the job and applied for the menial job as a prison guard. She was working as a street car conductor just before her disappearance. She was also informed that she was going to be promoted just before her disappearance.
2. She was kind to some of the younger inmates and they would read to her (a mitigating circumstance).
3. When she was questioned about not unlocking the doors of the burning church to let the inmates out, she testified that they would just run about and "how could they be controlled." Then she addressed the judge: "What would you have done?" Again citing her illiteracy, I argue that this shows a limited intellectual ability, an inability to conceive of other options or ways of doing her job and saving the inmates' lives.
4. The court produced a handwritten report of the incident and asked Hanna if it was her report. Her co-defendants lied when they said that it was hers. When she was about to have her handwriting tested in court, she said it was hers (to avoid the humiliation of disclosing that she could not write).
5. Hanna's defense attorney should have known that she was illiterate. Michael, as a law student, should have have disclosed her illiteracy to her attorney and to the court. Their failures deprived the court of crucial evidence relevant to her culpability for the crime and on a proportional sentence.
Based upon all of my arguments above, I submit that I have convincingly shown that Hanna's sentence was unjust. Her story is a tragedy. I urge all to watch the film. It is one of the best movies that I have ever seen.
Oh, and also vote CON!
NJDebater forfeited this round.

It's been a week since the NHL trade deadline and bettors have had a few games to see how some of the biggest names dealt are fitting in with their new teams.
Since Jason Pominville, Marian Gaborik and Derek Roy were acquired by Minnesota, Columbus and Vancouver, respectively, the under has gone a combined 10-1 in 11 games.
(All stats prior to action Thursday)
Jason Pominville, Buffalo to Minnesota
The Wild were looking to up their scoring by adding the former 30-goal scorer. But in three games with Pominville in the lineup, Minnesota has been shut-out twice and managed only three goals in three games, well below the team's season average of 2.5 goals per game.
The under has gone 3-0 in all three games since Pominville arrived. Minnesota is 1-2 SU (straight up) and Pominville has two points (1g, 1a) in three games. The Wild's O/U (over/under) record is 16-19-4 in 2013.
Marian Gaborik, NY Rangers to Columbus
The enigmatic Gaborik has been thriving since he got a change of scenery. Out of the bright lights of New York, Gaborik has two goals and three assists in four games with the Blue Jackets. Despite his recent offensive surge, the Jackets are still a hot under bet.
One of the best under teams (15-24-1 O/U) in the NHL, the Blue Jackets continue to keep games tight, with the under going 4-0 in Columbus' four games with the Slovakian sniper.
Derek Roy, Dallas to Vancouver
The Canucks were shopping for a second-line center at the deadline with Ryan Kesler missing 31 games this season with a broken foot. They filled the role with the shifty Roy.
While Vancouver has gone 4-0 since Roy was acquired from the Stars, the team has been winning because of Cory Schneider's stellar goaltending. Roy has only one assist in four games and the under has gone 3-1. The Canucks have been a great under play with a 14-21-5 O/U mark.

Management APIs¶
In addition to implementing the standard JSON-RPC API, Ethereum clients, such as Geth and Parity provide additional management via JSON-RPC.
One of the key common pieces of functionality that they provide is the ability to create & unlock Ethereum accounts for transacting on the network. In Geth and Parity, this is implemented in their Personal modules, details of which are available below:
Support for the personal modules is available in web3j. Both clients have further admin commands available, they will be incorporated into web3j over time if there is sufficient demand.
As Parity provides a superset of the personal admin commands offered by Geth, you can initialise a new web3j connector using the Parity factory method:
Parity parity = Parity.build(new HttpService()); // defaults to http://localhost:8545/
PersonalUnlockAccount personalUnlockAccount = parity.personalUnlockAccount("0x000...", "a password").sendAsync().get();
if (personalUnlockAccount.accountUnlocked()) {
// send a transaction, or use parity.personalSignAndSendTransaction() to do it all in one
Refer to the integration test ParityIT for further implementation details.

Post-election planning
Investors were clearly relieved that the result of the election meant that pro-business policies would be maintained and personal aspiration continue to be encouraged.
There are good reasons to be cheerful. One of the Conservatives' pre-election promises was that there would be no increase in income tax, National Insurance or VAT during their term in office, and a commitment was also made that the tax-free personal allowance would be increased from the current £10,000 to £12,500 by 2020.
In addition, the higher rate tax threshold, above which 40% income tax becomes payable, is to be increased from its current £42,385 to £50,000, again in the longer-term.
There could also be good news on the inheritance tax front. The Conservatives' pledge has been to take most people's homes out of the charge to inheritance tax by increasing the tax-free allowance enjoyed by married couples and civil partners from £650,000 (£325,000 for each partner) to £1 million (£500,000 each).
It is not yet clear how this might be done, but one possibility would be to provide an extra allowance of £350,000 (£175,000 per partner) to set against the value of their home.
The recent dramatic changes to pensions taxation are less likely to be disturbed than if a government of a different hue had come to power, though further restrictions on contributions by higher earners are being mooted and sceptics are already wondering whether the new ability to cascade pension wealth down through the generations, free of inheritance tax, will be permitted to continue indefinitely.
One of the more recent proposals was that people who had already bought pension annuities should be allowed to sell these to a commercial third party in exchange for cash or a more flexible income. This proposal is subject to consultation, but the proponent of the change was Steve Webb, a Lib Dem minister who has been deposed, and there may now be some question as to whether it will go ahead.
As far as investments are concerned, two major issues overhang the UK stock market, namely the UK's relationship with the EU and the threat to the integrity of the United Kingdom posed by the Scottish Nationalists.
However, there are again some reasons to be cheerful, in that Officials in both Brussels and Berlin have made clear their wish to retain the UK in the EU, and it might be that a new deal for the UK could leave an independent Scotland out in the cold.
The other cloud on the investment horizon is the effect on the corporate and government bond markets of the withdrawal of the "quantitative easing" stimulus provided by central banks in the wake of the financial crisis. The best answer for the fixed interest element in a portfolio could be strategic bond funds, which can switch between market sectors both in the UK and internationally.
Tax on pension withdrawals
Concerns have been raised over the taxation of lump sum pension fund withdrawals over and above the 25% tax-free allowance. Unless the planholder supplies to their pension provider a P45 form obtained from their employer, HM Revenue and Customs will apply emergency coding which will assume that payments of the same magnitude will continue to be made on a regular basis and tax calculated accordingly.
The overpaid tax would usually be reclaimed subsequently through self-assessment or PAYE, but HMRC has now issued a new form P55 which should ensure that repayment is made within 5 working weeks. Despite confusion over the wording of this form, it has been established that it can be used when more than one lump sum withdrawal is made during the course of a year.
Tax on disposal of businesses
Subject to complying with a number of conditions, small business owners who sell their businesses may be entitled to Entrepreneurs' Relief on any profit made on the sale, which would reduce the capital gains tax charge from a potential 28% to 10%.
If, instead of selling out, the business owner were to transfer the shares in the business within the family – perhaps to a son or daughter – the value would be subject to capital gains tax, but this could be deferred by claiming "holdover relief", which would permit the profit to avoid tax until such time as the shares might be sold on by the family member, when tax would be payable on the accumulated gains.
If the owner were to die within seven years of making the transfer, Inheritance tax might potentially be payable, but in the case of a sole owner of shares in an unquoted company, 100% 'business property relief' should be available.
If so, then provided that the transferee retains the shares until the death of the original owner and provided that the shares still qualify for relief, no inheritance tax would be payable.
The other option would be for the owner to leave the shares to the family member in his or her Will. Again, business property relief should be available to eliminate any charge to inheritance tax; and for the purposes of capital gains tax the value would be re-set at the date of death, with previous gains ignored.
Finally, if instead of transferring shares within the family the owner were to sell the shares and invest the proceeds in a fund or company which qualified for business property relief, for example an investment in the Alternative Investment Market ('AIM'), this investment would become exempt from inheritance tax after two years.
Our reason for showing these graphs is to highlight that the VIX index is trading back at 2007 levels of low volatility while stock markets are at all-time highs. We can no more see the future than anyone else but we do know that when it comes to investing, the most money is often made when every sinew in your body is screaming that it is madness to invest, and that sometimes the opposite is true.
It has been a strong start to the year for investment portfolios, mostly driven by signs of continued strength in the US Economy and the promise of more to come under the Trump presidency. Markets always move ahead of the economy so to make money, investors will position portfolios to benefit from what they think is around the corner. But what if the promise does not materialise? One fund manager described this recent wave of enthusiasm as the "Trump Bump" and that this may well be followed by the "Trump Dump" if the new President is unable to deliver on his campaign promises due to lack of support from political colleagues. In this respect, it seems that the failed repeal of Obamacare has given investors pause for thought over the last week or so.
While some asset classes are looking expensive, on an individual basis, there remains optimism amongst fund managers. Those who particularly seek to invest in undervalued, unloved but robust companies can see plenty of scope for increased valuations in their investment pool.
Eight years have now passed since the FTSE 100 hit its Credit Crunch low point. In investor memory, particularly among younger investors, we are getting to the point when the slide that started in summer 2007 down to its nadir risks being forgotten. We don't know what the future holds but the past tells us that investing needs time on your hands to ride out the tough times. We're confident that investing remains the best long term strategy for your money but make sure that you understand the strategy you are taking and that your portfolio is right for your attitude to investment risk and your time frame.
Markets made a much better start to the year compared to this time last year. However, investors remain wary of problems that are likely to rear their heads later in the year and so, in general, markets have paused for now. Politics seems likely to dominate sentiment again this year, with a number of key general elections to be fought in Europe, most notably in France and Germany. Volatility is likely to spike during these events. However, market volatility can be the friend of the active fund manager and in recent meetings and conference calls with managers many have expressed the view that there are plenty of good opportunities and are generally cautiously optimistic about prospects for the year as a whole.
Our view is that the strong equity returns we saw in the second half of 2016 are "in the bank", as it were, so if markets do sell off at some point in the next few months, these profits can be eroded before we are worse off than we were before the EU referendum on 23rd June 2016.
The prospect of a protectionist Trump presidency and actions to spend their way to economic growth have led to a swing in investor sentiment towards those companies that will benefit from the US finally entering a period of strong economic growth.
What do we think?
Talk of the UK Government's stance to not join the Single Market has weakened the pound further in recent weeks, leading to a continuation in the increase in the value of the overseas assets in portfolios and the earnings expectations of UK companies with overseas earnings.
The prospect of a protectionist Trump presidency and actions to spend their way to economic growth have led to a swing in investor sentiment towards those companies that will benefit from the US finally entering a period of strong economic growth.
This has been a bizarre bull run in investments since the October 2008 Credit Crunch, as price rises have been focussed on safe and secure investments, while the riskier investments that often trigger the exuberance at the end of an investment cycle have largely been ignored. The movement towards those stocks has seen some of the reliable heavyweight fund managers underperform of late with their riskier counterparts finally being rewarded. That this rotation into these stocks has been due to the promises of The Donald should give us all good reason to tread carefully.
Date of next meeting: 21st February 2017

At today's Collab meeting, the editorial staff made their final decisions about which written submissions would appear in our magazine. This year, only 31 of the 155 submissions that we received made it in. We would like to thank everyone who submitted their original work to the magazine – the quality of the submissions remains high from year to year.
With this important step behind us, we may now begin the process of creating the magazine, and in that regard, we are fully a month ahead of where we were last year. We expect that Volume 43 will arrive at BHS sometime in April, hopefully before April Vacation.

Town of Washington bereft after sudden death
February 2, 2014
The sudden death of one of the town of Washington's leading luminaries continues to reverberate through the hamlet perched on a picturesque platform above the South Yuba River.
Don Owen Edgman, 59, owner of the Washington General Store, died unexpectedly on Jan. 23 from unknown causes, leaving his fellow townsmen stricken with grief and wondering what they will do without the only operating store in the municipality.
"Today is our last day open," said Lori Redmon, a clerk at the general store, on Thursday. "We have to shut down, and this store has never been shut down. The whole town depends on this store."
Christopher Bigler, a resident of Washington, said the store provides most residents with everything.
"It's where we get milk, bread, other food and even fuses and water pumps," he said. "Now, we have to go to Grass Valley. I don't have a car, so I will have to either give somebody some money or put my thumb out."
While many residents are fretting about the impact on their everyday living habits, most people are more concerned with mourning one of the most popular fixtures in Washington.

"Everybody liked him," said Henry DeCorte, proprietor of the Washington Hotel. "He was a very likeable man; he didn't have an enemy in this town."
Edgman was the president of the town water board and was always willing to help out residents with various problems and issues, Redmon said.
"He was a father figure to everyone in this town," she said. "If you needed help with a couple of bucks till payday or some special orders, we would be there."
Edgman bought the general store in 2006. He grew up in Oakland and visited the general store in the small foothill town as a child, as his family would camp in the campground along the banks of the Yuba.
Edgman was dedicated to "the little town of Washington," as he called it.
"I always promote the town first, because what's good for the town is good for the store," Edgman told The Union in 2010. "The town comes first, and the store comes second."
Edgman bought the store as the entire country hung on the brink of a severe economic recession, and he, like most businessmen, felt the pinch through the tough times. But he remained steadfast in his pledge to retain the historic charm of one of the town's centerpieces.
"I knew this was a little country store, and I didn't want to be the guy who changed everything," he said. "When a place like this has been going for at least 100 years, the system's pretty much in place. It's a place where you can still get a cold bottle of pop."
Residents are hopeful that the impending estate sale goes smoothly and the integral shop can begin operating again in about 45 days, said Dina Svenson, who sometimes helped out around the store.
Carol Dexter said just about everybody that lived in Washington would help out in the store.
Dexter would come in and Edgman would ask her to man the counter while he fetched a bag of ice from the back.
It was the type of old-school American approach to business that can only persist in the small, tightly knit communities that endure in remote pockets of the country.
"He was a good boss and a good person," Redmon said.
Glenda Wright agreed.
"It's just another piece of the quilt that is Washington that is gone away," she said.

Star gazing seems especially good on a clear autumn night. From our back deck our amateur eyes scan the sky and its wonder. We first notice Venus, our closest planetary neighbor. A beautiful harvest moon rises over the hill, lighting up jet streams that crisscross the stars and planets. We see Orion, the bowl and handle of the Big Dipper, the Square of Pegasus, the vast Milky Way and we are fortunate to see an occasional falling star. We are in awe of the beauty of our night sky but it's what we can't see that is truly amazing.
Spectacular explosions, which can't be detected with the human eye, light up the gamma-ray sky about once a day. These explosions, called gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), are from distant galaxies hundreds of millions of light years away from earth and are thought to be triggered by supernovae or exploding stars. They release more energy than our sun will put out in a lifetime.
In honor of the 60th Anniversary of the local Tennessee Valley Chapter (TVC) of the Special Libraries Association (SLA), International SLA President Deborah Hunt recently visited Tennessee. SLA is the global organization for innovative information professionals and their strategic partners, which has the mission of promoting and strengthening its members through learning, advocacy, and networking initiatives. September 13th Ms. Hunt made several stops at local information institutions, touring facilities and visiting with staff about issues facing libraries, information and knowledge managers.
During the 1700's, the Reverend Thomas Bayes was a nonconformist minister at the Mount Sion Chapel in Tunbridge Wells, UK, about 40 miles southeast of central London. Having studied both theology and logic at the University of Edinburgh, he was also a mathematician and developed a strong interest in probability late in life. He was known to have published only one book on theology and one book on mathematics in his lifetime. A third manuscript he never published about the probability of cause made him famous. After his death, a good friend Richard Price recognized the importance of the paper and, after extensive editing, submitted it for publication. More than 20 years later, the great French mathematician, Pierre-Simon Laplace devised the formula for Bayes' probability of causes and acknowledged Bayes as the discoverer of what we now know as Bayesian inference.
This year is the 250th anniversary of Bayesian inference. During its history, the Bayes theory has been doubted, disproven, defended, and challenged again and again and again. It has consistently been an important tool in understanding what we really know, given the evidence and other information we have. It helps incorporate "conditional probabilities" into our conclusions.
Theodore Roosevelt, in his famous speech "Citizenship In A Republic" starts by saying "it is not the critic who counts;" What makes the speech poignant is that all too often it is the critic who counts because we see time and time again the media pointing out "how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better."
Too often we only hear about failures and waste in government, yet the contributions and success of government-funded science and technology are ubiquitous and often under-reported.
Wouldn't it be nice if your name were a unique identifier and nobody else had the same name as you? Unfortunately, most of us share our names with a number of other people, most of whom we have never met and never will. But we have all probably experienced the challenge and frustration of trying to find a specific person from a list of people with the same name. Remember when we used phone books? Trying to pick out the person you needed from a listing of multiple names? Actually, searching the internet doesn't make this process any easier.
The Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) was one of the first federal organizations to embrace and champion the ORCID concept; the National Institutes of Health is the other. As yet, there are very few DOE authors sending ORCID IDs to OSTI's databases. OSTI is encouraging Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP) representatives across DOE to, in turn, encourage authors at their labs and offices to sign up for an ORCID. Anyone desiring more information about OSTI's participation in ORCID can contact OSTI's Point-of-Contact for ORCID, Jannean Elliott.

Turkey lifted a 15-year state of emergency in the southeast of the country today, ending an era that saw security forces wield sweeping powers against Kurdish separatists in a conflict in which more than 30,000 people died.
''A new, normal period is starting for the region,'' Interior Minister Abdulkadir Aksu said in Diyarbakir, capital of the mainly Kurdish region.
Parliament decided in June to scrap emergency rule in the provinces of Sirnak and Diyarbakir as of today after lifting it in two other provinces earlier this year.
Turkey imposed emergency rule in 1987, three years after the Kurdistan Workers Party began a violent campaign for independence. The authorities were given extraordinary powers to detain suspects and carry out investigations,
Human rights groups argued that the special police powers led to serious abuses.
Of those who died in the fighting, most were Kurds, and thousands more fled to the major cities to escape violence that emptied hundreds of villages.Continue reading the main story
Fighting subsided after 1999, when Turkey captured the Kurdish party leader, Abdullah Ocalan, who ordered the rebels to withdraw from Turkey and campaign for greater cultural rights by political rather than military means.
People in Diyarbakir welcomed the end of emergency rule, saying they hoped that it would bring peace and help the economy. About 1,000 gathered in the city center today to sing and dance in celebration.
''Emergency rule in the region has ended, but our wish is that its practices not continue as well,'' said Halis Gural, 35, a tradesman. ''Emergency rule should be abolished in minds too.''
Turkey's new Justice and Development Party government, which swept to a landslide victory in Nov. 3 elections, has vowed ''zero tolerance'' of torture and pledged a range of human rights reforms to meet European Union standards for membership.
Ankara wants the union to set a date for the start of membership talks at a summit meeting in Copenhagen on Dec. 12, but the union has said Turkey still has to undertake other rights reforms to guarantee freedom of speech, religion and assembly as well as wiping out torture.
The European Union has welcomed Ankara's decision to end emergency rule in the southeast.
A July report by the Council of Europe said the police in Diyarbakir had lagged behind the rest of the country in improving human rights. Prisoners are often denied access to lawyers, and torture has not been stamped out, it said. Kurds in rural areas of Sirnak Province complained of intimidation by the military during the election this month, and there was a heavy security presence at polling stations. For years, residents have had to deal with roadblocks and other restrictions on movement.
''Emergency rule is over -- I am happy like everyone else,'' said Halit Celik, 20, a student in Diyarbakir. ''I hope we don't go back to the old days again.''Continue reading the main story

Daybreak, icebreaker
|Is it a tree trunk or a fairy table?
|The Art Fair at opening time.
|Pompom flowers.
|Angry Bird on the tennis court fence.
|Streamers of paint color cards hung from tree branches.
Destination: Ravelry Revelry. Squam Lake, Holderness NH
Objective: Absorb some of the creative and blissful energy emanating from every single person I met, get out of the city and breathe clean air, enjoy nature.
Dream: To meet, speak to, or at the very least, be within arm's reach of the Knitterati, and other Ravelry members.
Mission: Accomplished
Tall pines sway and whisper, moss coats tree stumps, patches of lichen hug boulders, paths wend their way through the woods, connecting cabins and gathering places. Birds call, loons croon and the waves of the lake lap the shore.
We were at the Squam Lake Art Retreat, not the amazing classes, but at the Ravelry Revelry. We were in the company of a general gathering of knitterati and fans of channeling creative juices and applying said energies to various forms of artwork.
It was our first foray into this annual retreat and party which is hosted by Jess and Casey Forbes, creators of Ravelry, the knitter's (vastly better) version of Facebook. Each year they organize an artistic retreat, replete with classes, breakout sessions of knitting, good food, amazing vistas and general merriment. It looks to me to be four days of bliss and artistic revival. (I wanna go! Maybe next year?)
|The Playhouse stage during raffle drawings.
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, of the Yarn Harlot books and blog, was there. Stephanie is an amazing woman who knits, writes, and networks regularly with the world of knitters, spinners and fiber aficionados. Also there was Franklin Habit, Stephen West, Gudrun Johnston, Ysolda Teague, Melissa Jean and Anne Hanson. I have more I'd like to tell you about these folks, but for now I am trying, very hard, to stick with the main idea......Squam Lake Art Camp and Fair.
|The Great Room in the Squam Playhouse.
In the main room of the playhouse we were surrounded by knitters, spinners, crocheters, and other folks who swoon over cashmere. There was fiber, spindles, a multitude of handmade items and creativity abounding. The energy was palpable and there were smiles in every corner. I even ran into a friend from my Friday Night Knit Group at Stitch House, hi Diane! Thanks for hanging with us at the fair.
|Yarnbombed canoe
In various locales of the woods, we discovered gentle yarn bombing, trees wrapped in a sweater sleeve, a canoe warmly ensconced in a patchwork of knitwear, flowers and pompoms in accord with the architecture and nature. The edge of the lake was a spot of quiet lapping waves, broken by the screams of those immersing themselves for their annual Squam dunking. The cabin we visited sat silently anchoring us in this place of summer memories and nostalgia.
|Yarnbombing the Adirondacks
|We three knitters; that's me, Lauren, and Sarah on the shore of Squam Lake.
Together, we have attended NH Sheep and Wool, Amy Herzog's book launch, the opening of the Saco River Dyehouse and Yarn Shop, and other local happenings. Each time we find ourselves repeating... "This is great! This is sooo great!" We smile as our history together is woven more tightly. We are knitters and we are happy to have access to such amazing events. And today was no different...
|A corner of Stephen West's booth.
I guess I am so stoked to meet these people that I view as movers and shakers in the knitting world because I can ask them a few questions and have a teensy peek into what lies ahead. Some of them share tidbits about books that are being written, patterns that are being proofed, Craftsy classes that are happening or soon to be released, the promise of yarns that are being developed. It is so exciting to, for a few seconds, put my finger tips to the pulse of this "hobby" that we all cherish and need to partake of, and get a sliver of a preview.
So, jump off here if you have heard enough of my excitement. If you stay on, get ready for a rundown of the events of the day.
So maybe you noted the title of this post. Wait! Don't scroll back... it was Daybreak, Icebreaker.
You know what? A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Here is a great and succinct capture of the blissful and exciting day.
|Stephen West, amazing designer and knitter. And me in my Daybreak
We arrive at the Playhouse, ascend the porch stairs, and there! perched comfortably on the porch railing, chatting away, was the man himself. We all elbowed each other but managed to suppress squeals or giggling, like schoolgirls, we were in awe. So we enter the great room, get our bag of swag, enter the drawings, and head back out to the beverage station.
As we stood clustered, he strides up, smiles an infectious smile and says "I saw it the minute you walked by, nice work". Ub bah, uh, bah, ummm. Wow! Praise from the designer himself..... I was speechless, but somehow managed to regain my composure and we chatted with him for about ten minutes. He was gracious, friendly, happy and welcoming, and so real. I am still thinking of the encounter as one pinnacle in my knitting career that may never be bested. Thank you Stephen West!
|Franklin Habit, of the blog Panopticon.
|Melissa Jean of the Melissa Jean hand made buttons and a friend of Mel of SinglehandedKnits.
|Buttons by Melissa Jean Designs
|A tease chapter or two of the book which will be released in September.
Will you accept my apology for gushing on for so long? Will you forgive me being so self-centered in my thinking you want to hear of my amazing trip? Please, I share this with you in the hopes that my bliss, glee, and gratitude can be conveyed and understood.
I have some additional photos from friends that I want to share, but I don't have them yet. One is of the view from Heather's cottage that she so generously shared with us. Another, the door of camp Nirvana and other photos of the fair. I will add another post and it will be majorly (wait, I know that's not a word, right?) shorter. I want to show you a few of my purchases too, but the big share was the saga of my Squam experience,the awe and the gratitude. Thanks for indulging me if you are still plugging away and reading this.
My other thanks is more narrowed.... thank you to Sarah and Lauren, who convinced me it would be good to go. Imagine I almost stayed home to knit? Wow...

Author has written 3 stories for Baldur's Gate.
I could ramble on forever if I let myself, but I shall endeavor to keep it brief! My justification for investing all this time (omg so much time xD) into the noble pursuit of fan-ficcing is to practice my writing and one day raise it to a publishable level, so I am supremely grateful for any and all feedback, positive and negative. I've already improved a great deal and have learned a lot as I've gone; I couldn't do it without you guys, so big thanks!!
I have a page on deviantART (artastrophe-dot-deviantart-dot-com) that has most of my non-professional art / fan-art / original characters. In fact, it's probably mostly the characters from my BG fic, which you can also find renditions of at the fabulous Kyn's deviantART (spydrouge-dot-deviantart-dot-com) :D
I also obsessively collect art and writing references (and um everything else) on Pinterest! (pinterest-dot-com-slash-artastrophe) So if you want to see inspiration for my story and imagery for some of the characters (or a ton of other random artsy/fantasy things)... o_O
Now that my Candlekeep prequel and Baldur's Gate: I story are complete, I have been working on the BG:II sequel! Some of you may perhaps remember the original iteration of this story which I posted in 2009 as "What was Taken," though (shh) I did not in fact know what I was doing with it back then. It may reassure you to know that is no longer the case, and the years between have allowed me to come up with all kinds of interesting things to fill in what were before shallow representations and no few glaring plot holes. xD So this has been a labor of love (some years more intensely than others), and I hope you will enjoy following along!
It is basically an excuse for me to play with my psychology knowledge/obsession and explore really complex relationships of damaged people over very long character arcs, haha. I am really drawn to complexity and layers and moral ambiguity... I hope it goes without saying that my characters' views/actions aren't necessarily supported or encouraged by me. xD

Where are the best cocktails in Savannah?
Answers from Our Experts (1)
Savannah is without a doubt a fun-loving city—to-go cups are street legal here—so great cocktails are around every corner. The Sparetime wins the handcrafted war with housemade bitters, a rotating seasonal drink menu and eyedroppers on hand to make sure the perfect amount of certain ingredients complete your concoction. Jen's & Friends takes the cake for largest menu with over 100 specialty martinis, many inspired by popular candies. Another sweet spot is Lulu's Chocolate Bar, which focuses on rich, decadent dessert martinis like their Raspberry Truffle martini. Jazz'd is another locale that focuses on delivering fun, fruity options such as a Mango Mojito and Sweet Tea Martini. And if you're a Manhattan fan, be sure to stop by Andaz's 22 Lounge—their Beverage Manager finished second in Woodford's 2012 Best Manhattan competition and takes pride in all his creations. The cocktails menu at Blowin' Smoke has also been turning heads since they revamped their menu and now offer Tex Mex inspired food and drinks, like a roasted red pepper house-infused vodka and organic margaritas. Local11ten's mixologist also whips up top-notch local libations made with care.

Philippines is a perfect destination if you love to enjoy nightlife entertainment during your holiday. This country has a lot of nightlife centers with different atmospheres that will blow your mind.
Manila as the capital of the Philippines is one of the most important tourist destinations in the country that's known for its awesome nightlife spots. Malate, Roxas Blvd and Manila Bay are some of the most popular areas if you want to enjoy Manila nightlife entertainment. There are so many bars, discos, and restaurants in these locations. You could also find some great bars at Manila hotels all around the city.
Quezon City is another great nightlife destination located in the heart of Metro Manila. This is one of the most populous cities in the Philippines that has emerged to be one of the most popular cities among partygoers.
Boracay Island is also a nightlife center in the country. This place has been so popular worldwide because it offers nightlife experience with a tropical island atmosphere. Almost all of the popular bars and nightlife spots in Boracay are located on the sand at its beautiful beaches.
Then there is Makati, the jewel in the Metro manila, that's not only the business center of the country, but also the center of all nightlife activities. Makati is a city that has everything, you will find some of the most luxurious Manila hotels, great restaurants, shopping malls, as well as bars, discos, and life entertainment centers.
Thousands of visitors everyday come to Makati just to enjoy its nightlife excitements. Whether local or foreign tourists, as long as they enjoy nightlife activities, they will appreciate what the city has to offer.
But there is always a dark side when a city has become a center of nightlife activities, one of them is sextourism. This is obviously not a part of Makati tourism promotion, at least not officially. In fact, the Philippines' Government has been trying so hard to remove that image, but the truth is, this is something that's not always easy to manage.
Even though prostitution is considered illegal in the Philippines, but paying for sex is not something that's impossible here, especially in nightlife activity centers, including in Makati. Sextourism definitely exists in Makati, but it's hidden in plain sights. Nightlife spots like bars, discos, karaoke bars, escort services, massage parlors are often become the places where you can find prostitute transactions.
It's actually quite common for bar girls or massagers to offer an "extra service" for some extra money. Philippines is still considered a poor country where many of the people live in poverty, this is probably the reason why there are always young Filipinos who finally become prostitutes as a way to make a living.
But to call Makati as a sextourism destination is actually not very fair, considering this city has lots of other interesting attractions for tourists, including a lot of historical and cultural sites, also don't forget about those incredible shopping malls that you can find all over the city.
