Liberalism, Loyalty and Israel
I am sad. I am scared. I am angry.
Like many of you, over the last few weeks, I've been following the news about the kidnapping and murder of Naftali, Gilad and Eyal, followed by the revenge killing of Muhammed, followed by increased rocket attacks by Hamas towards Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, followed by military response from Israel into Gaza. And I am particularly sad, scared and angry about what might follow next.
But what has been most challenging for me personally has been the internal tension between my liberal values and my loyalty to Israel—and I don't think I'm alone in feeling this way.
Last month, I mentioned how much I value Jonathan Haidt's book The Righteous Mind: How Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion. He uses a framework that has helped me understand why I have felt so torn these last few days.
Morality, Haidt argues, isn't just one thing. It has five main different facets to it—care for others, justice and fairness, loyalty, respect for authority, and a sense of sanctity. Liberals, he notes, tend to focus mainly on the first two (care and justice), and feel much less strongly about the other three (loyalty, authority and sanctity).
Most of the time, liberals are deeply focused on caring for others, so when people are in harm's way, we simply see that they need our support. When we see Boko Haram kidnap girls in Nigeria, or genocide in Darfur, or millions of immigrants unable to enter the United States, we feel motivated to act.
But when it comes to Israel—especially when it is under attack—many liberal Jews also embrace a sense of loyalty, as well. And the result is that our "care" foundation comes into direct conflict with "loyalty" foundation.
On the one hand, our sense of care is aroused when we see the citizens of southern Israel under constant rocket attacks from Hamas, as well as innocent Palestinians who are caught in the crossfire. On the other hand, when we see how poorly the media portrays Israel, or when we feel like other Jews are not rallying to defend Israel, our sense of loyalty rises to the forefront.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Fresh from Caples Awards judging this past week, it's an opportunity to see great digital and direct marketing work from around the world. 50 creative directors from 20+ countries gather in New York to review 600+ entries over two days. Some highly inventive, creative work and much of it created with an entrepreneurial spirit and, very often, modest budgets. You can browse the full gallery, but here are some highlights of what we awarded:
IKEA The First Catalogue That Pays Rent (Agency: 303 Lowe, Australia). This work won gold in several categories including integrated and loyalty and was so compelling to me because it reframed an old convention —the paper catalogue— in a new way. Instead of throwing out that catalog hogging space on your coffee table, IKEA suggested you register it and every month they'll send you 'rent money' in the form of vouchers for new stuff. Watch the case study at Lowe's site.
Twitter Army for Brothers for Life (Agency: Joe Public, South Africa). The Social Media category had a volume of great work entered but the big gold and my favorite went to Brothers for Life in South Africa. To bring fresh attention to World AIDS Day, the night before they created 1000 Twitter handles of faceless names of people suffering from AIDS. For 24 hours, they told what it was like and then in the final hours their frail state. At midnight each account actually died. Their final accounts then renamed deceased. It's utterly haunting + absolutely sensational.
AUDI GPS: Geopositioned Stories (Agency: CP Proximity, Spain). This great idea turned Spain into an open air driving museum giving customers more than 1000 stories to explore to utterly lose themselves. Even the emails customers received are tailored and terrific (see towards end of video).
Stunts continue to be big around the world. Thanks to interconnected social platforms, it's easier for more people to see them too. A few great winners in categories like viral vieo marketing, retention and social media capture and share these stunts on film:
Action Against Hunger's The Share Experiment (Agency: Shackleton, Spain).
Carlsberg Bikers (Agency: Duval Guillame Modem, Belgium). Unaware couples arrive in a movie theatre filled with bikers. Many depart but those that stay are rewarded. Fellow Forbes blogger and buddy Rob Schwartz talked about this work and shared the video last year here on Forbes.
Foodstuffs' Bleaarrgh! Have a Suck and Stick it to Them (Agency: DraftFCB, New Zealand). Not an official sponsor of the Rugby World Cup, this supermarket gave out special lollypops that turned the tongues of AllBlacks supporters black. Naturally fans shared photos online wildly.
Product invention. And for those of you who want to invent new products and services for brands, you'll like what nabbed Best in Show: Red Tomato PIzza VIP Fridge Magnets (Agency: TBWA RAAD, Dubai). This branded utility uses Bluetooth, your mobile phone and your past preferences to quickly and desperately get you that pie. Love it.

Can you remember the last time you travelled through time without taking medication, visiting a therapist, flying supersonic or wearing a costume? Can you remember where you went and how you got there? Were you gazing at the trees outside your office window when you were transported back to your ninth-grade science class, and reminded how easy life was back then? Or was it one of those more unsettling moments where you have a strange flashback and are unsure if it stems from a recurring dream or some bit of childhood trauma you've attempted to block?
On Tuesday, in Tokyo, I had the most delightful journey back in time – free from ugly scenes at high school, embarrassing moments at college and terrifying events when I started work. My day started with a run around Roppongi/Nishi-Azabu/Hiroo, weaving around moms on bikes with toddlers strapped on, and young gentlemen and ladies of the evening shuffling home from tiny bars and nightclubs. Back at the Grand Hyatt I showered, caught up on some emails and watched an ageing US military Twin Huey chopper thud past my window as it descended toward the US military facility tucked just beyond Roppongi crossing.
Downstairs, I met my driver and we went over the plan for the day. Oto-san might have been in his mid-sixties, or perhaps he was in his mid-eighties – it is always tricky to tell in Japan, as people are usually a decade older than they look and often think most Westerners look a decade older than they actually are. He greeted me with a very formal style of English that matched his black cap and white gloves. As we cut through the traffic he explained he learned his perfect English in Seattle. "I used to work at Microsoft," he said and then burst out laughing. Oto-san had clearly spent time in Washington state when Brother was still doing a roaring trade in typewriters and word processing was something found in the pages of manga.
After a brief stop in Akasaka to meet with a gentleman keen on rethinking the concept of rural life in Japan, I jumped back in the car and shuffled through my schedule.
"Should we continue to Ginza, sir?" asked Oto-san.
"That would be great," I said. "I'm going to Shiseido Parlour for lunch."
Ten minutes later we pulled up at Shiseido's little patch of cosmetics, sweets, fashion and fragrance stores.
"I'll be waiting right here for you at 1.15pm, sir," said Oto-san. "Have a good lunch."
While Shiseido is globally known for its range of cosmetics and ownership of many international fragrance and beauty brands, in Tokyo it also has a reputation for its tiny tower of fine restaurants and extraordinary sweets shop.
I took a lift up to the fifth floor (the mezzanine of a two-level dining room), was greeted by an elegant woman and a man in a dinner jacket, and whisked into a private room where my clients were waiting.
After a round of greetings and exchange of cards, we settled in to look at the menu. "We're very happy you've chosen this restaurant, Tyler-san," said the boss of the bunch. "The best curry rice and classic western Japanese dishes." His colleagues nodded and grunted in agreement and studied the menu with great intensity.
It was at this point that the time travel started. A quick scan of the menu took me back to the late 1960s and early 1970s, as the standout dishes were onion soup, croquettes (meat or crab), beef stroganoff and then Japanese takes on western dishes in the form of curries and "om" (omelette) rice.
As I debated whether to go for a curry or a steak, my colleague, Noriko, pulled up a chair and the perfectly turned-out waiters (dinner jackets, long aprons and sharp grooming) started taking orders.
"Fancy sharing a Caesar?" I asked Noriko.
"Sure, and I'm going for the stroganoff."
While we got on to business the waiters went about laying the silver and transforming the table into something that reminded me of business dinners with my parents in Montreal, circa 1974. There were towers of condiments, crystal glasses of ginger ale and then a trolley appeared with a massive teak salad bowl, wooden spoon and fork and all the ingredients for a Caesar salad. The waiter started preparing the salad from scratch – crushing garlic, beating eggs, grinding pepper and trimming lettuce. In an instant I was back in the dining room of my childhood with my mother preparing the same dish. With much ceremony, the waiter poured oil, mixed, tossed and served us the salad.
As the bowls were placed in front of us, I tried to recall the last time I'd had such proper service in a setting that so confidently recreated the 1970s and without a whiff of irony. There was no attempt to appeal to modern tastes, no molecular nonsense, no concession to dietary fads. What a delight. For a moment, being in Tokyo circa 1974 was a magical place. Better still, it was doing a roaring trade in Tokyo, autumn 2012.

Harnessing and delivering green energy, especially wind and solar power, has given the industry a needed jolt, he said.
Rob Pritko, 44, of Huntington Beach, married and the father of a 2-year-old boy, loves being up in the air. He now works at PAR in Palm Springs where he is building a 500,000 KV power line. âI would be so bored sitting in an office behind a desk. This is a great trade for me.â
If electrical workers seem a little cocky, they have earned bragging rights. Should anyone confuse them with electricians, Mendez is happy to explain: âElectricians power a room, a building. We power cities.â
Lavin said: âThereâs a sense of satisfaction doing something no one else can do.â
He and union workers like to joke that âOn the eighth day, God created linemen.â
Their union even sells T-shirts of a silhouetted man on a pole that proclaims: âEven Firemen Need Heroes.â
There has never been a politically correct attempt to torture the word âlinemanâ into âlinepersonâ or âlinewoman.â The numbers tell why: three women in the JATCâs current program and eight women among IBEW Local 47âs 5,000 linemen from Bakersfield to Mexico, Lavin said.
âItâs physically demanding,â said lead instructor Tony Vega, 64, who has worked as a lineman for 45 of his 64 years. âYouâve got 30 to 40 pounds of equipment on you in heat, wind or rain to install a 700-pound transformer. Gravity is not your friend.â
A two-week orientation/climbing class quickly separates future linemen from those whose fear of heights will keep them firmly grounded.
âNot everyone can do it,â Mendez allows. âYou donât know if you can until youâve tried.â
However, thereâs much less climbing involved today, Vega said, because 40 percent of all utilitiesâ circuitry infrastructure is underground. Whatâs more, todayâs aerial crews are raised and lowered in bucket trucks for safety.
âActually, climbing is the easy part,â Vega said. âThe hard work starts once you get up the pole.â

Tired of being awake at all hours with your baby? Use these simple tips to help your baby sleep through the night.
If you haven't had a good night's sleep since your baby was born, you're not alone. Sleepless nights are a rite of passage for most new parents — but don't despair. You can help your baby sleep all night. Honestly!
Newborns sleep 16 or more hours a day, but often in stretches of just a few hours at a time. Although the pattern might be erratic at first, a more consistent sleep schedule will emerge as your baby matures and can go longer between feedings.
By age 3 to 4 months, many babies sleep at least five hours at a time. At some point during a baby's first year — every baby is different — he or she will start sleeping for about 10 hours each night.
Ideally, baby should sleep in the same room as the parents for the first year of life — or at least for the first 6 months — to decrease the risk of SIDS. This can also make feeding easier.
Your baby should sleep alone in his or her own crib, bassinette or other surface designed for infants. Adult beds aren't safe for infants. A baby can become trapped and suffocate between the headboard slats, the space between the mattress and the bed frame, or the space between the mattress and the wall. A baby can also suffocate if a sleeping parent accidentally rolls over and covers the baby's nose and mouth.

The triumphant (and final) return of 'Breaking Bad' this Sunday, August 11, has gotten people all jazzed up and doing strange things. Some of our friends are throwing parties. Others refuse to let anyone into their homes. People without cable have sworn off Facebook from Sunday until they get a chance to watch the show. It's insanity. Here's how people are preparing themselves.
This Vine made Yoeslan Alfaro will make you happy pretty much every six seconds, and he didn't even plan it.
You probably didn't realize you needed to watch Stephen Colbert dance to the entirety of Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky,' but you do. It certainly doesn't hurt that some of his friends show up, especially when his friends include Hugh Laurie, Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Bryan Cranston.
As a special treat in honor of the DVD release of the final season of 'The Office,' this little gem has been made available to us. It's a highlight reel of auditions for the show, with some pretty notable faces. Bob Odenkirk, Adam Scott and Seth Rogen all tried out for the show and didn't make it.
We don't know which challenge would be greater in this scenario -- conquering your fears or conquering your bowels. Regardless, this brave man, Josh, managed to do both when his buddy took him up in the air for an "aerobatics" flight, after learning that he's afraid of flying.
If you want hoardes of ladies to smooch on you, apparently you only need a couple of things. Armed with a clipboard, a hose, a reasonable degree of attractiveness and a willingness to talk about 'The Notebook' in public, this guy got a pretty respectable degree of action.
Kenji Nakayama and Christopher Hope buy signs from homeless people in the Boston area for $10 and give them a new hand-painted sign in its place. They also share the stories of these people on their Tumblr Signs for the Homeless to raise awareness.
Shark Week is here! Shark Week is here! We can finally stop living like it's Shark Week, because it's actually Shark Week! We're not the only one's who are excited by the prospect -- these animals also seem pretty geared up. (We're going to pretend the costumes were their idea, and not their owners.)
In the same vein as that incredibly magical rendition of 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and a bunch of grade school instruments are once again making awesome music. This time it's a cover of Robin Thicke's nonstop hit 'Blurred Lines.'
What do you mean 12 is an abnormally high number of cemeteries for a town with a population of less than 40,000? That would seem perfectly normal, if you'd grown up in Sunnydale. Here are 14 other signs you call Sunnydale home.
Coming in at number four on our list of "Reasons We Don't Want a Ferret,*" is "they will steal the wallet right out of your pocket." This video justifies that particular item's high placement on the list. A person who gets their wallet stolen feels like a fool. A person who chases a ferret to get their wallet back has pretty much lost all dignity.
We love this? It's hard to say, because we don't know yet whether or not this black cat version of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" is going to give us nightmares or not...

From front lines to high finance
Walter Mischler never thought heading to the front line of the Vietnam War would lead him to a career in finance.
The one-time infantry officer is now the owner and chairman of Mischler Financial Group, a rapidly growing boutique investment bank in Newport Beach that handles deals for some of the biggest names in the financial services industry. The firm has added Wall Street heavyweights to its ranks and opened outposts across the country.
But Mischler says it never would have been possible if not for his time in battle – and the injuries he sustained in the service.
Mischler Financial Group was the first broker-dealer in the country to be classified as a service-disabled veteran business enterprise, a minority designation that has helped the company secure contracts with a series of clients throughout the years.
"I was able to take advantage of the opportunity, and it's blossomed very nicely," said Mischler, 66. "I doubt very seriously if I would have ever owned my own broker-dealer not having the disabled veteran label to put on it."
Like mainstream firms, Mischler Financial Group provides capital-markets underwriting and asset management services for pension plans, corporations, endowments and other institutional clients.
But the military influence is unmistakable.
Ten of the firm's 50 employees are veterans, including both Mischler and chief executive Dean Chamberlain, a former paratrooper who sustained shoulder injuries jumping out of airplanes.
The firm also is heavily involved with military-focused charities such as the Fisher House Foundation, which provides housing to families of injured veterans. Last month, Mischler Financial Group donated 10 percent of its profits to the nonprofit Wounded Warrior Project, where Mischler's daughter and son-in-law work.
And then there's the gift given to office visitors: a dog tag-shaped bottle opener.
Federal and state lawmakers have created designations such as the service-disabled veteran business enterprise classification amid expanded government efforts to aid returning military veterans and help them reintegrate into civilian life. Douglas Dare, veterans business development officer for the Small Business Administration's Orange County office, noted a number of veteran job training programs and other initiatives to assist veteran entrepreneurs.
At the federal level, President George W. Bush in 2004 sought to strengthen federal contracting opportunities for veteran-owned firms with an executive order directing as much as $5 billion to be set aside for such businesses.
Many private and public institutions also have corporate responsibility goals to do business with minority enterprises. According to a guide published by the California Public Employees' Retirement System, the public pension system aims to spend at least 3 percent of its contracting and procurement dollars on disabled veteran-owned businesses.
Dare noted that studies show many consumers like to patronize veteran-owned businesses. "It's becoming a designation that's sought out," he said.

Mischler, the son of a longtime Army officer and self-described "Army brat" growing up, graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 1969 and served in the U.S. Army for another five years. After a stint in Germany, he spent about a year and a half in Vietnam.
Mischler hurt his legs and back while on active duty in Vietnam. He doesn't like to talk about the details. Lingering effects of his injuries led the military to transfer Mischler to a non-combat role, but he wasn't interested in a desk job.
"I think I would have gone nuts if I had done that," he said. "I really enjoyed the infantry, would have stayed in the Army, but because I had to get reassigned to a non-combat arm, I got out."
In 1974, he took a sales job with Procter & Gamble in San Diego. Mischler bounced among a few companies, but the Indiana native said he "fell in love with Southern California" and wasn't interested in leaving.
Mischler had long considered becoming a stockbroker, but it wasn't until he was selling tax shelter investments in the early 1980s that he worked his way into the financial services industry. A chance encounter with an old classmate led to a job as an account executive with broker-dealer Liberty Capital Markets Inc. Mischler felt at home and had no ambitions to start his own outfit, but he didn't know there was legislation on the way in California that would open up new opportunities for him.
In 1989, state officials established the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Program with the goal of awarding 3 percent of state contract dollars to companies run by injured veterans.
The legislation was embraced by CalPERS, which was looking to do business with veteran-owned firms but couldn't find any in the investment world. Mischler didn't advertise his service-disabled status. But after a colleague mentioned his name to CalPERS officials, Mischler met with the state treasurer, who urged Mischler to start his own firm. In 1994, Mischler Financial Group launched with six employees and a big-name client in CalPERS.
"CalPERS probably gave us the first big shot," he said. "They pretty much opened the door."
Still, the firm's leaders said they wanted to succeed on their own merits.
"We really did not lean on the disabled veteran status that much," said Doyle Holmes, the co-founder of Liberty Capital Markets who became president and chief operating officer of Mischler Financial Group. "Most of our accounts in the early days were accounts that we had had for years before."
Change of command
The firm remained small and limited in its capabilities until bringing on a new CEO in 2011 with the explicit goal of expanding the business.
"We didn't really have ambitions to be a big, big firm," Holmes said, "until we got Dean."
Dean Chamberlain was an ideal candidate to grow the firm. The former head of fixed income for the Americas for Nomura Securities International, Chamberlain had a strong track record in the securities industry – and he just so happened to be a service-disabled military veteran.
After graduating from West Point in 1985, the artillery officer was training for the special forces when he injured his shoulder during a parachute jump.
"I was told that if I kept doing what I was doing, I was going to need a fake shoulder within about four or five years," he said.
Chamberlain opted instead to get his Master of Business Administration from Northwestern University and start a career in finance. He worked for major companies such as Banc of America Securities LLC and Nomura, but eventually he decided he wanted to start his own firm.
Chamberlain had known Mischler for years by that point, and as the two talked about Chamberlain's new firm, they decided instead to join forces.
"We just thought it was a good idea if I came in to help grow their business and ... add some robust Wall Street capability to it," said Chamberlain, who is 52.
In the two years since Chamberlain took the helm, the firm has more than doubled its employee count to 50 and now has offices in Chicago; Detroit; Boston; Stamford, Conn.; and Red Bank, N.J. Chamberlain works primarily out of the firm's Stamford office, but he comes to Newport Beach about every other month.
Though the firm doesn't train unqualified workers, executives say they will have a preference for qualified job candidates who are military veterans; currently, 10 of Mischler Financial Group's employees have served, including veterans of Vietnam and Iraq.
The firm, which won't discuss its revenues or income, also has expanded its services to capital-markets underwriting. That means when large corporations want to raise capital by selling bonds, Mischler Financial Group is brought in to distribute those bonds to its clients. In the past year, the firm has helped underwrite multibillion-dollar offerings from major names such as GE Capital Corp., Fannie Mae and Bank of America Corp.
"They do their job very well," said Hans Walsh, chief compliance officer with Bernzott Capital Advisors, a Camarillo-based money manager that has used Mischler Financial Group to execute trades for several years. "If they weren't good at what they did, regardless of their designation, we wouldn't use them."

Grandma Lena's Magic Salad Dressing
Author Notes: My husband's grandmother, Lena, lived to be almost 100. When I met her she lived alone, having outlived two husbands. She was proud of her cooking although she did not cook much. She did make a salad each night, and told me the secret of her delicious salad dressing. She combined 1 Tbsp each: catsup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, horseradish, and sugar. Everyone who tasted it asked for the recipe, she told me proudly. They were always surprised to hear the simple list of ingredients. I loved it too, and made my own batch many times.
This is an updated version of her recipe, with a few of my favorite ingredients added: crème fraiche and green pepper jelly. I also substituted agave nectar for the white sugar she used. Her salads were quite simple: green lettuce, chopped tomato, and maybe some chopped green onion. I think my version is delicious on a crunchy salad of mixed fresh greens such as romaine, baby spinach, and shredded cabbage. I like adding a little chopped apple and some toasted walnuts. And some thinly sliced sweet red onion. Delicious!
Serves 4
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 2 tablespoons your favorite catsup
- 1 tablespoon your favorite mayonaise
- 1 tablespoon creme fraiche
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon a good green pepper or red pepper jelly
- Combnie all ingredients with a whisk or using an immersion blender. Season with salt and pepper.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Recipe with Horseradish

This critical and scholarly edition presents the complete letters of Henry James, one of the great novelists and letter writers of the English language. Comprising more than ten thousand letters and addressing a remarkably wide range of topics, this edition is an indispensable resource for students and scholars of James, of the European novel and modern literature, and of American and English literature, culture, and criticism.
Written between December 1876 and December 1877, the letters in this volume trace James's departure from Paris and his arrival and domestication in London, where he would live at least part of each year for most of the rest of his life. In London, James quickly becomes immersed in the social and literary life of the city and of the nation. He is invited as an honorary guest to the Athenaeum Club; dines with Lord Houghton, William Gladstone, Alfred Tennyson, Heinrich Schliemann, and "half a dozen other men of 'high culture'"; and continues his friendship with Turgenev, who lives in Paris. In addition to his regular production of critical and travel essays, he completes The American, contracts with Macmillan to publish French Poets and Novelists, revises Watch and Ward for book publication, and travels to France and Italy.
Pierre A. Walker is a professor of English at Salem State University. He is the editor of Henry James on Culture: Collected Essays on Politics and the American Social Scene (Nebraska, 1999).
Greg W. Zacharias is a professor of English at Creighton University, where he coordinates the Humanities Research Group and directs the Center for Henry James Studies. He is the editor of A Companion to Henry James and coeditor of Tracing Henry James.

Speaking Up for Girls on World Toilet Day
Today, people around the world are observing World Toilet Day—a day designated to raise awareness about the global sanitation crisis.
We know what you're thinking—what is the sanitation crisis and why should I care?
Imagine what it would be like if there wasn't a bathroom in your house, your office, or in the coffee shop on the corner. Think about how that would affect not only your time but also your health, hygiene, and community environment.
According to a recent study by The Water Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, this is the reality for more than 4.1 billion people worldwide. And while men face the burden of poor sanitation, women and girls are the real victims facing additional challenges like shame, disease, harassment and even violence because they have nowhere safe or clean, to go to the bathroom.
For these women, a lack of sanitation means having to wait—sometime for hours—to find the right time to go to the bathroom. It means venturing out at night to remote spots so no one will see you when you go, risking being assaulted in the process. It means not being able to concentrate in school and when puberty hits this angst increases as you try to manage your period without a toilet and instead choose not to go to school on those days of the month.
These challenges are prevalent across the developing world. Consider this:
1.25 billion, or 1 in 3, women and girls are without access to adequate sanitation
Diarrhea, caused by a lack of access to clean water and safe toilets, kills more children every year than AIDS, malaria and measles combined.
Women and girls collectively spend an estimated 97 billion hours each year looking for a place to "go."
With staggering statistics like these, we know that the lack of access is more than an inconvenience; it impacts all aspects of a woman's life including her work and education. Increasing access to sanitation in the developing world is not just the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do. It gets girls in schools, improves health, and allows women to get jobs—contributing to economic growth within communities. According to the World Health Organisation, every $1 invested in water infrastructure produces an average of $4 in increased productivity.
Despite this, the sanitation crisis has not taken top priority on the global agenda. In fact, it is perhaps one of the most off-track targets for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). With just over one year until 2015 —the deadline for the MDGs—it is clear there is significant work to be done.
So what is the solution?
While it may seem easiest to just throw money at the problem and build more toilets, we know this doesn't work. The developing world is riddled with broken infrastructure—water pumps and toilets. And this is about more than toilets that function. It's about dignity, particularly among women and girls.
We must invest in innovative solutions that bring lasting sanitation to everyone, even the most vulnerable. Allowing women and girls the opportunity to be part of the solution can help to achieve greater impact. And we're already seeing this happen in many communities.
Take India for example; a country where an estimated 700 million people don't have access to acceptable and safe sanitation. Like most places, women and girls are the most affected. In fact, the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council estimates that at least 23 percent of girls in India drop out of school when they start menstruating and those that don't miss an average of five days of school each month. Other data shows that 25 percent of women in India report violent sexual assault while going to the bathroom in the open.
Water For People, the nonprofit organization where we work, puts girls at the center of solving their own sanitation problems, empowering them with the opportunity to actively lead the design of sanitation facilities in their schools. In our school programs in India, new structures include girl-friendly features such as separate hand-washing and sanitation facilities out of view of the school. Girls have also ensured that wider bathroom stalls with mirrors are available so they can check their saris for stains when menstruating. This means that girls are more comfortable using the bathroom while in school.
This kind of innovation and unexpected partnership, which empowers women and girls, is what we need at all levels to address the sanitation crisis. We're intervening in people's lives and we must take that seriously.
This World Toilet Day, let's speak up for women and girls around the world. It's time we focus not on the number of toilets we can build but on the number of lives we can change with lasting sanitation solutions.
Emma Pfister is the Manager of Social Media and Partnerships at Water For People.

R&B starlet Ciara was looking starry-eyed herself as she filmed the video premiere of her new track "Got Me Good" at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square yesterday. From a massive silhouette cut-out of the singer to the actual video premiere, which was showcased on one of those famous Times Square screens, this was a major moment for Ciara. It was also her 27th birthday; what a way to celebrate!
The starlet was so appreciative of her fans who came out to watch the video and celebrating, at one point outstretching her arms in their direction in thanks. She also pulled a very cute move when she whipped out her camera to take photos of the crowd. It's clear that the black bandaid mini-dress wearing star was living a dream last night; these pics capture her energy and grace.

i have the domain test.com working fine with ISPConfig, but need to add sub1.test.com as a separate site (i.e. different virtual directory) How would i do this with ispconfig? I guess i would add a new site, but not add any DNS records, then update the dns records for test.com, but i don't know which record(s) to add.. Help!
Create a new site with hostname "test1" and domain "test.com" and check the create DNS checkbox, if your server is authoritive for the domain in DNS.
Hmmm, Thanks Till, as ever. I'm beginning to think that you don't do anything else but answer questions on this board. Do you ever sleep? However, now it forwards me to the shared IP page.
Does your new subdomain point to the correct IP address? What's in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf, and what's the output of Code: ifconfig ?

The manufacturing plant is located in the company's European Knowledge Centre
Singapore: Japan-headquartered Eisai's UK manufacturing subsidiary Eisai Manufacturing, situated within the company's European Knowledge Centre (EKC), has received a license from the European regulatory authorities for solid dose manufacturing of the antiepileptic agent Fycompa (perampanel) at its Hatfield production plant. Fycompa is a first-in-class AMPA receptor antagonist discovered and developed in-house.
Positioning the Hatfield plant as a global supply hub for Fycompa, Eisai plans to obtain authorization from the regulatory authorities in other countries to use the site to manufacture the drug for supply in each respective market.
The opening ceremony was attended by the Rt Hon David Willetts, Minister of State for Universities and Science, UK, who expressed his hopes that Eisai will continue its endeavors toward the creation of innovative new medicines that bring benefits to patients.
Discovered and developed at Eisai's research laboratories in Japan and the UK, Fycompa was approved in the European Union ahead of other regions in the world for use as an adjunctive treatment for partial onset seizures, with or without secondarily generalized seizures, in patients aged 12 years and older. It was first launched globally in the UK earlier this month, followed by Germany, Austria and Denmark.

Sindhudurg - a refreshing trip
I finally satisfied my wanderlust for a new destination. Sindhudurg it was last week on the Konkan coast on the Maharashtra-Goa border. Before I take you to the sights and sounds of Sindhudurg, I had my heart fill of sharbats , vada pavs , misal pavs, kandha(onion)bhajji..The sharbats (juices-refer to the first picture)are the most refreshing,especially the kokum .Im still salivating..

Dear gs,
Where you found your wonderlust is Sindhudurg and not Sindudurg. Sindhu means sea i.e. saagar in sanskrit. This durg means castle was built by Shivaji in sea. Hence it was named as Sindhudurg. Please correct this mistake.
And where are the pics of this Sindhudurg?

Hi Lakshmi,
Looking forward to reading about your trip to Sindhudurg.
I was wondering if you...
a)Went scuba diving/snorkeling.
a)Visited the lesser known beaches there like the Sagareshwar Beach & Shiroda Beach near Vengurla, the Nivati Beach and the Tambaldeg Beach at Mithbhav near Devgad where one can spot dolphins and Olive Ridley Turtles.
b)Paid a visit to the hill station of Amboli.
c)Went to the Dhamapur Lake.
d Met Satwasheela Devi (the erstwhile Queen of Sawantwadi) at the Sawantwadi Palace. The latter is reviving the dying art of making Ganjifa Cards- a game dating back to the Mahabharata period.
With warm regards,

Hi Lakshmi, I applause (although applause are non Indian custom :) for traveling, traveling as an Indian traveling as an Indian single woman and traveling as an Indian single woman in the less touristic places, like sindhudurg.

Game Boy Advance SP Price Drop Confirmed
As it turns out, our previous speculation was correct. Nintendo has officially reduced the price of the Game Boy Advance SP handheld portable to a cool $79.99. If you have not yet picked up one of these, now is the time to do it, as the SP is totally chic and fits in very nicely with other high tech gadgets. Nintendo has set up a new site, Start Mayhem, to push the new price point.

Baby bathtubs give parents a controlled environment for cleaning a wet, slippery baby. The angle of the tub helps free a parent's hands for washing.
Things to keep in mind when choosing an infant bathtub:
- The bathtub should have slip-resistant backing to keep it from moving.
- A tub made of thick plastic will stay firm in the center, even under the weight of the water.
- Beware of foam cushions; your baby could tear off pieces and swallow them.
- Avoid bath rings, baby flotation devices, and bath seats. If these tip over, the baby could drown.
- Do not choose a tub with rough edges, which can scratch your baby.
- An infant-to-toddler tub will last longer as it can be adjusted when your baby grows.
- Some bathtubs have plastic slots or indentations that can hold soap, shampoo, and other cleaning supplies.
- A plug at the bottom of the tub makes draining the water easy.
- Always keep one hand on your baby while he or she is in water.
- Only adults or experienced babysitters should give babies baths. Baths can be dangerous for babies, because babies can drown in as little as an inch of water.
- Always touch the water to check the temperature before putting your baby in the bathtub. Water that is too hot can burn babies.
- Gather all of your baby's bathing supplies ahead of time, including shampoo, soap, washcloth, towel, clean clothes, and a clean diaper/wipes.
- Always take your baby with you if you have to answer the door or the telephone or if you're needed elsewhere in the house.
- Always empty the bathtub and turn it upside down when it is not being used.

Step 1
Purchase the Rail Frame
This was not a one-stop shopping experience to put this unique stairway together. The stainless steel cable and turnbuckles were purchased from one company and the frame was fabricated at another company. The homeowner went with a metal frame, and once our host, Paul Ryan, came up with the dimensions the fabricator made a cad drawing, got approval from the homeowners and fabricated the frame.
Safety Alert: Any time you put up a stair-rail system, there are safety and code considerations. Be sure to talk with a professional before installation begins to make sure all safety codes will be met.
Step 2
Secure the Frame
Put the railing frame in place and measure to ensure it's centered and plumb.
Mark for holes and then pre-drill the pilot holes and finally secure the frame to the wall and floor with 3" stainless steel screws.
Step 3
Measure and Cut the Cables
Note: This particular system consists of a cable, a couple of turnbuckles and a fastening device (Image 1). The cable itself is 3/16" — the most popular residential choice. All the ends of the cable terminated inside the turnbuckle, which gives a nice streamline look. Know that there are several options available for this type of project.
Measure for the cable length by extending the turnbuckle all the way open (Image 2) until the "set" screw stops you. The correct length is from the end of the turnbuckle to the beginning of the flare on the terminal end. The turnbuckle goes into the crimp 2", so be sure to add that 2" to the measurement for the proper length of cables.
Cut the cables to length with a sharp cable cutter.
Pro Tip
It's vital that the cable cutter blade be sharp. It's difficult to fish the cables through the holes if the ends are frayed.
Step 4
Attach the Turnbuckle
Slide the retaining cap and crimping sleeve on the end of the cable (Image 1). Crimp three times and attach the turnbuckle.
Attach the fitting to the opposite end of the cable and crimp in place.
Secure the end fitting by placing the clevis pin through the hole and securing it with a a ring pin (Image 2).
Screw on the turnbuckle and insert the clevis pin through the hole to attach the turnbuckle.
Pro Tip
When crimping the sleeve, alternate the direction of the middle crimp to prevent the fitting from distorting.
Step 5
Finish Building the Cables
Build all cables from the top down.
To tighten the cables, first attach a padded vice grip to keep the cable from rotating. Then tighten the turnbuckle with a small Phillips-head screwdriver.
Note: International building code calls for no more than a 4" gap in any railing, so make sure your cables are snug and tight.
In fact, check the gauge to make sure the tension is at 350 pounds.

here below you'll find my patch in MAX
[mod – removed uncompressed patch]
1) Read about copy/paste in condensed format here: http://www.cycling74.com/forums/topic.php?id=36405
2) Maybe udpsend needs to be in CNMAT compatible mode. It's in the help file: something like [udpsend 10.0.0.1 10000 CNMAT] would work.
3) I'd use prepend, join, or OSC-unroute.js, rather than sprintf in this case. sprintf creates new, persistent symbols in memory and isn't really very efficient.

More and more films premiere on Video on Demand — if they don't simply bypass a theatrical release altogether. Because VOD reviews are often scarce and hard to find, Criticwire created VODetails, a recurring column to help you figure out whether a new VOD release is worth your hard-earned dollar. This time we're looking at "Open Five," the latest film from director/actor Kentucker Audley, who people used to describe as a mumblecore filmmaker back when people were still described as mumblecore filmmakers. Now I don't know what to call him. Let's just give him his own subgenre: kentuckercore. We'll write the New York Times thinkpiece about it later.
Director: Kentucker Audley
Cast: Jake Rabinbach, Shannon Esper, Kentucker Audley, Genevieve Angelson
Official Synopsis: "Open Five" isn't really an "official synopsis" kind of movie, but here's how Richard Brody described the film in The New Yorker: "During a brief stay in Brooklyn, Jake (Rabinbach), a young Memphis musician (and native New Yorker), connects with Lucy (Esper), a young actress he persuades to come down South and pay him a visit. She arrives with her friend Rose (Angelson), also an actress, who promptly pairs up with his friend Kentucker (Audley), a struggling independent filmmaker. The plaiting of fiction and personal documentary… lends extra poignancy and self-deprecation to the low-key romantic agonies and financial struggles of ambitious yet uncertain bohemians."
Richard Brody, The New Yorker:
"Audley's movie has the feeling of sketches from life — a wealth of emotion and experience emerge both from its brisk lines and from its white spaces."
Steve Dollar, The Wall Street Journal:
"This tale of two fleeting romances, made and unmade over a weekend, is at least as disarming for what it sees as for what its characters say (or don't say)."
"The strength of the film is that director Audley, together with lenser Joe Swanberg (a venerable mumblecore helmer himself), poses the conundrum [about committment] less through dialogue than in purely visual terms."
A.O. Scott, The New York Times:
"May be notable mainly for shifting the landscape of aimless, youthful contemplation from the city to the countryside, but its record of the ambivalent desires and drifting ambitions of a group of friends is artful enough to be touching as well as vague."
"More of a question than a movie, that question being 'Should we, like, make a movie?'"
"Open Five" premieres on VOD tonight, March 29th, at KentuckerAudley.com, with a live intro at 8:00 PM eastern, and a live Q&A following the screening.

Police have released still images from video surveillance footage of the Dec. 14 incident in hopes that someone could identify the suspects.
The women allegedly walked into the store, located in the 2600 block of Medical Center Parkway, at about 9:30 p.m. and began searching through the shoe section. Within a few minutes, one of the women grabbed two pairs of Ugg boots and concealed them in her bags, according to a Murfreesboro Police Department incident report.
The other woman then exited the store and drove up next to the front entrance, as the second suspect ran out of the store to get into the vehicle.
When the loss prevention officer tried to stop the women from fleeing the scene, the driver quickly accelerated toward the male employee. The loss prevention officer told police that he had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit by the car, which is believed to be a black Chrysler Sebring.
Based on the photos released by police, both suspects are black females who appear to be in their early to mid-20s.
At the time of the incident, one of the women was wearing a red jacket, black pants and had long hair.
The other woman is described as being 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing an estimated 160 pounds, and she was wearing a dark, multi-colored jacket and black pants when the assault occurred.
Anyone with information about this case should contact Crime Stoppers at 615-893-7867.
Several cars vandalized over weekend
Police are trying to determine whether a string of car vandalisms that occurred Sunday off West Lokey Avenue near downtown Murfreesboro could be connected.
The tires on at least six cars, all of which were parked outside of homes that are located within a one-mile radius, were slashed some time after midnight and before 8 a.m., according to multiple Murfreesboro Police Department incident reports.
Three cars in the 100 block of West Chestnut Street, two vehicles near the 700 block of North Church Street, as well as another outside of a home in the 500 block of North Maple Street, were reportedly vandalized.
In total, an estimated $800 worth of property was damaged during the incident.
All of the residents told police they had no idea who would want to vandalize their property, and police were unable to find any witnesses who could provide a possible lead in the case.
As of Wednesday, no one had been charged in connection with the vandalisms, and the matter remains under investigation.
Woman reports being raped at party
An investigation has been opened into allegations that an 18-year-old intoxicated woman was raped while she was passed out after a night of heavy drinking during a party Saturday at College Grove Apartments in Murfreesboro.
The incident occurred in the 1500 block of New Lascassas Pike some time between the hours of 4 a.m. and 6 a.m., according to a Murfreesboro Police Department incident report.
The woman reportedly had a party at her residence and consumed an unknown amount of alcoholic beverages before falling asleep. When she awoke a few hours later, the woman discovered that she was naked and there were used condoms lying on the floor.
Initially, the man accused in the incident admitted to having sex with the woman, but he later recanted his story. However, another man who attended the party later told police that he saw the woman being raped and identified the suspect.
Detectives have since taken over the case, and the matter remains under investigation.
