Veerappa Moily | I want lawyers to be global players
Veerappa Moily | I want lawyers to be global players
New Delhi: Moodbidri Veerappa Moily continues as law minister after the recent cabinet reshuffle. The 71-year-old former chief minister of Karnataka talks about foreign law firms, regulating the legal profession, the chief vigilance commissioner (CVC) case in the Supreme Court and the political strategy of the Congress party. Edited excerpts:
What are your thoughts on the entry of foreign law firms in India?
The matter is before the Madras high court. I think it is also before the MP (Madhya Pradesh) high court. Bombay high court has already given some judgement...maybe there are some (more) high courts also… I think maybe we need to…wait for the judgement. I think some of them are contemplating some cases to be filed before the Supreme Court. So, all these cases can be transferred to the Supreme Court so that a view can be taken ultimately.
The additional solicitor general is saying there's a consultation between the Bar Council and the law ministry and they will file a counter affidavit after the consultation.
I know. He is right because we are also talking to the Bar Council of India (BCI). Then I had some rounds of talks with the BCI chairman, and you know, we are discussing that, and thereafter we will definitely.
What is the Bar Council's view?
Bar Council, they are yet to take a view on that—that's the difficulty. But these days a lot of business is involved there. To me there is a big history before that, you know. When the US lawyers wanted to come to the UK, there was a similar resistance. They said, "No, our business will go and we'll disappear," and all sorts of things. Now you must see how many, more than 20-25 law firms (have come to the UK). This kind of a competition, then ultimately lot of business, corporate business we have. China—they were resisting this for some time. Ultimately today, China, they think they have to go to other countries and make business.
Tomorrow, our country should not be driven to the back seat in this. Some aggressive approach from our lawyers also should be done. Yes, there should be a capacity building within our lawyers. They should be ready…because ultimately it is not only litigation today. There's a lot of area of the non-litigation side. We require a lot of corporate lawyers. I think we should not hesitate to…I don't say now, because unless we have a proper discussion (with BCI), I don't want to give a value judgement on that.
Would you say it's a good thing to allow foreign law firms in?
No, no, no. Don't come to that conclusion. In that case I will be inviting big agitation tomorrow. Before we go in for that, there should be some proper capacity building. Otherwise our lawyers cannot have the onslaught from the rest of the world. So we need to build because certain things need to be done and that is why Bar Council and the government, we are thinking of that. Tomorrow, I want my lawyers to be global players. For example, I visited London sometime back—80 lawyers from the national law school universities were there, prospering like anything, working in various companies. Good to see a sight like that. You know, our lawyers also should not be impoverished lawyers. Tomorrow they should be dynamic, resourceful to earn money. I pioneered the National Law School University (in Bangalore). Now we have 14 law school universities, but that alone is not enough. I am establishing another 14 law school universities.
Coming back to the Bar Council, you've proposed the creation of two new entities. In this Legal Practitioners Bill, there's the Legal Services Board…
Yes, we have proposed these things. But we are getting the reactions, comments from various bodies, including Bar Council. And I'm going to have a discussion with Bar Council and the rest of the stakeholders on this (Legal Practitioners) Bill.
What will the role of the Bar Council be if you enact this Bill?
No, no, Bar Council on the profession, their role is not taken away, even under this (Bill). You see this Bill, which I have contemplated, is only a regulator, which you have in the UK (or) any other country. Because there should be a regulator, you know. This cannot be...regulator and also the governance cannot go together. Regulator should be over-arching regulator, which will govern the whole thing. That's what we are contemplating even on the MCI (Medical Council of India). MCI will be there, but at the same time, over and above that, there will be a regulator.
You've proposed a National Commission for Higher Legal Education and Research, which intends to do what the Bar Council does as an oversight committee for legal education. Again, what is going to happen to the role of the Bar Council?
We want to demarcate the profession. They (BCI) will have to look after the profession. As far as the legal education is concerned, it has to be taken over by this body.
There are people at the Bar Council who are unhappy.
I know. Any change is painful. It will cause some pain. Just like giving birth to a new baby. So, naturally, and we'll sort it out with them. We are talking to them.
People are saying why are you doing it at this point of time, because since April last year, there's been a spurt of reform in the Bar Council.
I have no comments on that. We need to do a lot on legal education. We have a big agenda. That's what we're contemplating.
Where are we on the Lokpal Bill(to combat corruption with fast-track courts to prosecute public officials)?
One Bill is being circulated. We have drafted the Bill. Now again the matter—there is a GoM (group of ministers) appointed now. And GoM has this five-point programme. Of the five-point programme, which are spelt out by our Congress president (Sonia Gandhi) in the plenary session of the Congress party. So all those five points—these include Lokpal Bill, establishment of fast-track courts against corruption, and this includes other items. Within 60 days this GoM headed by (finance minister) Pranab Mukherjee has been asked to give a report. So, this is going to have a big impact, particularly against corruption.
Your ministry had sought an opinion from all the ministries on this and there were some differences over the coverage—which offices should be covered in the Bill. Has that been sorted out?
GoM will address these issues.
These fast-track courts, they will be special courts?
Yeah, yeah. Now, CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) has got a special court. Even in the state government, sparingly, I don't say it's widespread, they have established special courts on corruption charges. So, we need to do it in a big way now. And I've already asked for the details of these corruption cases pending under the various high courts and subordinate courts. Once we get it, I know how many (courts) we need to establish.
There is a view that there is a so-called judicial activism, with the judiciary making remarks on each and everything, even the Prime Minister, at one point of time. What is your view on this?
No, no, the question is, the difficulty is with your media. Court is transparent proceeding. What happens you know, I appear for one party, you appear for another party. Then I put up a very strong view with all the vocabulary under my command. You put your views. Ultimately, this is what the discussions take place. Then judiciary is an umpire. As an umpire, he should find out the truth and he will start putting searching questions. That doesn't mean that is a finding. Judges one and all, not everybody is the same. Some of the judges, they will put provocative questions. Unfortunately, our journalists should also be trained. What is order? What is judicial order? What is judgement? What is the off-the-cuff remark? What are the searching questions? I think journalists need some training on this. When you are reporting on some judicial proceeding, you must exercise some restraint.
Now that the government is at the receiving end of this…
No, no, it is not a question of receiving end. The question is the press, media distorting things. You cannot afford to do that.
The government is at the receiving end of the press and the judiciary?
No, no, that is a different matter. Judiciary, you know, they have the power. And they will have to arrive at a truth. They are doing that. In the process, if the media distorts everything and puts out...it can be harmful, harmful for the society.
What about in the CVC case, when the attorney general said the panel which appointed the CVC didn't know about the criminal case against (P.J.) Thomas?
No, no, no. You should keenly observe the question put by the judge. Court has put the question: whether the Palmolein case details is part of the record?
And the attorney general (AG) said it was not a part of the record.
He said no. If it is (not) there, how can he say yes? When he said no, it is no. That's all. That is the pointed question. Then, what should have been part of the record? What ought to be a part of the record? …is a matter, you know court may say tomorrow, in a matter like this the record will have to be put up and everything. That's it. Only question put was whether it's a part of the record. That AG said no. But immediately the press came out and bloated. On that press statement, (BJP leader) Sushma Swaraj reacted.
Being the devil's advocate here for the journalists, if you take AG Vahanvati's statements in their entirety he was saying that the Palmolein part was not put up, meaning, implicitly there was a flaw in the CVC's selection process.
That is another part. What should form a part of the record? It's a matter on which tomorrow court can comment. They are entitled to comment. And of course, the government is also entitled to correct its course. That's another part. But in this case was it part of the record? That becomes important. If it is not part of the record, PM has no way to know about it. So, that means PM has no role.
But it raises bigger questions on the process.
That is a different matter. Process what is adopted is correct or not is another matter. Court may tomorrow order that this is not the correct process. They are entitled to that. Or the government can also learn the lesson that you know in future, procedure, process we'll have to change. That's the other part. I don't say no to that. But at the same time, when the question was put, it is for an argument tomorrow, for a further argument.
Are you saying there was some kind of error on the part of the government?
No, no, it is not for me to say. But it is already now before the court. When it is before the court, I'm not passing a value judgement. Whether the process, the procedure adopted is correct or not, is not for me to say that. I'm not going to say it today. Tomorrow, yes, the court gives a judgement, thereafter we may correct it, or we may modify it.
Despite being strong in a coalition, the government is not able to take a strong stand in Parliament.
No, no. Always, the main opposition, if they can take a stand, which is not conducive for running a parliamentary democracy, that is a bad day. Any ruling party, normally we will not bulldoze things. We don't want to keep any people outside. We want them to partake in the debate. That's the healthy democracy. And our intention is to have a healthy democracy, not to keep some opposition parties away from the proceeding and run the show. We are not interested in doing that. Ultimately, this is the best platform available to you.
What's in the reform pipeline over the next eight-nine months?
The Commercial Division of High Courts Bill has already been approved by the standing committee, cabinet has already approved, we have already presented the Bill (in Parliament). And Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill we have presented to Parliament and that has been entrusted to the standing committee, possibly they may give a report. Then NRI Bill we have already got it passed—voting rights to the NRIs (non-resident Indians). And the constitutional amendment of giving another 10 years to the schedule castes and schedule tribes—we have already got it passed in the last session. And the Women's Reservation Bill, that has been passed by the Rajya Sabha, it is pending before the Lok Sabha now.
But business has this big grouse that the United Progressive Alliance government has let them down on three big laws—Companies Bill, direct tax code, goods and services tax (GST). How do you react?
No, no, no. After all, the Direct Taxes Bill has gone to the standing committee, it has to come back. Or it must have come back, I don't know. Now GST also the same thing. We've got it ready—the legislative department has done our job. Then the question of Companies Bill—we have cleared that. It has to now be presented (to Parliament). So, all these things are ready now.
Companies Bill is at which stage now? Will you reintroduce it?
No, no, there are some amendments. Comprehensive amendments are being contemplated now.
Assuming that this budget session happens, suppose there is some kind of truce. We expect lots of legislation to…
We expect, because the Budget is important—that occupies major space. Then, you know, some of these Bills will come from various departments.
Politically your party faces three crucial elections, and you have a good chance of being in power in all three. How do you see your party doing?
Yeah, yeah. elections are happening Kerala, the Congress will bounce back, or UDF (United Democratic Front) will bounce back. Tamil Nadu, yes, with Congress alliance with DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam), there's every chance of coming back.
As far as Assam is concerned, we are very strong there, party is very strong. With some one or two minor party's alliance, we are going to come back. All these, and West Bengal, you know what it is—TMC (Trinamool Congress) and the Congress combination is very strong.
Inflation is not going to take its toll?
Inflation will be talked about. It is a transitional stage. Always inflation—sometimes comes up, comes down. That depends upon world market also. Ultimately, the people have lived through this crisis.

The Ocmulgee Heritage Trail could be expanding again.
Macon-Bibb County is expected to take over 245 acres that may extend the popular recreational path even further north. The land stretches along the west bank of the Ocmulgee River near Amerson River Park.
The prospect is exciting to Vaylor Brown and Morgan Hogan, Macon residents who walk three miles daily with their 2-year-old sons along the trail.
"Instead of having to go in 50 directions, we could maybe loop around in a circle," Hogan said.

The County Commission is expected to vote Tuesday to accept the land from the Georgia Department of Transportation. There's work still being done to get ready for a two-mile trail extension — bringing the trail to 11 miles — that was first announced in the fall of 2016.
There is a small privately-owned tract of property separating Amerson and the 245 acres. The edge of the acreage nearly extends to River Place Drive, Mayor Robert Reichert said.
"The Ocmulgee Heritage Trail folks are very interested in trying to use it for the extension, assuming they can get through or across (the private property)," he said this week. "The DOT has said it's for passive use, and there's no cost for us to acquire."
There are no set plans for how the new property would be developed as part of the trail, but receiving the land is a coup for the county, said Chris Floore, assistant to the county manager for public affairs.
"This is above and beyond what we've been planning the last couple of years," he said. "This is exciting. That many miles along the trail ... is amazing."

LaGrange Police are investigating two separate Hit and Run accidents that occured near each other around the same time Friday night.
Friday night about 9:50 p.m. LaGrange Police responded to Lafayette Parkway at North Davis Road in reference to a Hit and Run collision.
Officers arrived and determined that the suspect vehicle rear-ended the first victim's vehicle while it was stopped in traffic for a red light at the intersection.
The victim stated he was stopped while traveling south on North Davis Road in the left turn lane and waiting for a traffic light to change to green, when he was struck from behind by another vehicle. The other vehicle then backed up, turned, and drove north on North Davis Road.
The suspect vehicle was described as a white Mini Cooper with a black top. The suspect driver was described as a white male with a black hat.
The victim's vehicle sustained minor damage to the rear bumper, but there were no injuries.
Police searched the area for the suspect vehicle, but it was not immediately located.
The second Hit and Run occurred just a few minutes later just down the road around 10 p.m. Officers responded to the second accident that occurred on private property at the Chick-fil-a on Lafayette Parkway.
During the second incident, officers determined that the suspect vehicle backed out of a parking place and struck a stopped vehicle that was waiting in the drive thru line. The vehicle then fled the scene without providing required information to the victim.
The second victim described the suspect vehicle as a silver Ford Crown Victoria with a Georgia tag. The driver was described as an unknown black male.
The victim stated the other driver got out of his vehicle and asked if he was okay, but then immediately got right back into his vehicle and fled the scene.
Using the tag number from the suspect vehicle, officers were able to determine the vehicle was registered to a male in Harris County.
Both incidents are currently under investigation.
If anyone has any further information about these incidents, please contact the LaGrange Police Department at 706-883-2603 or Troup County Crime Stoppers at 706-812-1000, or text an anonymous tip to 274637, keyword "LAGRANGE." Anonymous tips can also be submitted online at www.lagrangega. org.

Skip to comments.'A Classic Anti-Semite': Dershowitz Says 'All Decent People' Must Condemn Farrakhan
Posted on 10/18/2018 5:12:36 PM PDT by SJackson
Farrakhan tweets video calling Jews 'termites' Harvard Law professor and longtime Democrat Alan Dershowitz blasted Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan Thursday, calling on "all decent people" to condemn him after his most recent anti-Semitic comments. At an event in Detroit, Farrakhan pushed back on those who say he's anti-Semitic by labeling Jews as "termites." "So when they talk about Farrakhan, call me a hater, you know what they do, call me an anti-Semite, stop it. Im anti-termite. I dont know nothing about hating somebody because of their religious preference," he said.
(Excerpt) Read more at insider.foxnews.com ...
A classic antisemite, yes Alan is correct. Not just Jews he hates. Everyone should condemn him, but politicians have had decades to condemn him. Some have. Others, including two former Presidents seek his attention when fortunate enough to bump into him at a funeral. Sad.
Farrakhan tweets video calling Jews 'termites' ?
I bet his Twitter account was suspended within 15 minutes. He'll NEVER be allowed back on Twitter again.
Oh wait......
Yeah, Obama and Farrakhan, BBF!
Not a pretty picture: How a 2005 photo of Barack Obama and Louis Farrakhan photo was suppressed
Just beam up to the mothership Screwy Louie, and GTF off my lawn!
How can anyone take this POS seriously? Of course he hates people, because of their religious preference, as well as their skin color. What a POS this chump is.
Amazing, Jews and Christians breaking bread together, Shinto Buddhists, Sikhs, all of humanity, except for yall.
Do YOU condemn Farrakhan? How DARE he?
Calypso Louie sounds like such an ass,
it's amazing there are people vile enough and stupid enough to believe that crap.
Now he is an anti-termite.
Special, maybe, but it's infidels as you note. The worst are the ones who are in their face at the time. But he knows he'll be criticized by the right. On the left, antitermite, that's a laugh line. From a political perspective, anticracker probably would work as well as the Democrat party narrows the universe of those they represent to minority groups. No, no whites. Jews, as allowed. They need to tow the line and expect minor problems likethis.
>>How can anyone take this POS seriously? Of course he hates people, because of their religious preference, as well as their skin color. What a POS this chump is.<<
The fact that this scumbag is greatly admired by the 'rats tells us everything we need to know about that despicable mob of anti-American haters of Jews and Blacks.
I condemn him and his idiocy
Those are two of the whitest black guys I've ever seen......
Hey Alan,how about Hillary? Oh yeah,you voted for her
Ya...... a DNA analysis might indicate that Powell and Farrakhan need to check their "white privilege".

Vistalba Wine Tours are well-experienced tour guides, providing wine and culinary experiential tours in the picturesque region of Mendoza Wine Country.
Testimonials (5)

This was our first time in Mendoza and we were staying in the Chacras de Coria area at Pilgrim's Rest (about to write a very positive review for this hotel!!) and being huge Malbec fans we wanted a proper wine tour around the area. We googled options, the reviews for Cintia and Vistalba were so good! Cintia wrote back to my mom and I right away, after we inquired about a wine tour, and we had a full day of visiting three wineries with a three course meal planned for the next day. Cintia was prompt at picking us up the next day, spoke great English, was very knowledgeable about the area and patiently answered many of our questions. We visited Achaval Ferrar, Matervini, and Renacer, all in the well known Bodega region (pretty sure...). The wines selections, views of the vineyards, and the steak as the main choice paired with a Malbec at the final winery was the best we'd ever had! We were highly impressed with the service from Vistalba, the choices of wineries, and the relationships between Vistalba, Cintia, and the wineries.
If we're ever back in the Mendoza area, we'd certainly reach out Cintia again, highly recommendable for your wine tour experience and reasonably priced as well.

My wife and I had the most amazing wine touring experience with Cintia, the owner of Vistalba and Juan our tour guide. We booked a small group wine tour with Cintia months in advance. Her choice of wineries ( smaller boutique wineries) was perfect. We ended up getting a private wine tour with Cintia and Juan. Cintia was always on time with pick up and an excellent driver and host. Juan provided invaluable insight on the wineries, the area of Mendoza and the history of Argentina. Cintia and Juan went out of their way to make this a memorable experience. We initially booked two days with Cintia in Lujan and Ucco Valley but added another day to experience wineries in Maipu. No need to look at any other wine tour operators. Cintia and Vistalba will provide an amazing wine touring experience.

The winery is really nice and the staff were very helpful. The Tomero wine was amazing! We ate the "jabali" but the "ternera" was better. Thank you for the wonderful day!

Cintia was amazing. She was professional and ontime at all times. So much knowledge to share about Mendoza and the culture. Her choice of agenda and wineries was perfect. I would suggest you all book with her!

From our emails back and forth about which vineyards to choose Cintia was very helpful, responsive as well as knowledgable. We booked 2 day tours with her not knowing what to expect and wow. I didn't realize the lunch she booked on both days was a 5 course wine pairing on the 1st day and a 3 course wine pairing the 2nd day. I mean wow. We were fed and wine was at our immediate need haha. The vineyards she also chose were incredibly beautiful. We booked the Uco Valley wine tour which is close to the Andes Mountains and the overall beauty is priceless when you're sipping on wine and have this amazing view. The 2nd day we booked a horse riding day which was just as beautiful riding through an older vineyard and the guide she reserved was funny and his horses were calm and a joy to ride.

Target URL - Receiver SOAP Adapter
Hi experts,
I would like to know if the "Target URL" parameter in the Receiver SOAP Adapter is a case sensitive one.
Point will be given,
Daniela Machado
Bhavesh Kantilal replied
From my experience, I have used the Receive SOAP adapter to contain the URL of the Sender SOAP adapter of XI itself and in these calls the URL was not case sensitive ( the hostname and port are not case sensitive ) but the Business System , Comm Channel Name , Interface Name and Namespace are case sensitive.
When calling a true webservice, I never paid real importance to the case sensitivity as I used to take the URL from the WSDL provided by the Webservice.
Though not the answer to your question hope it helps.

A hypothetical organization is proposed where the operating agency is also closest to the financing source and thus should be responsible for resource allocation and its associated trade-offs. This agency understands, better than any other, the needs of its system and the demands of its user constituency. The manner in which each operating agency makes its decisions on services in its system would be reviewed by the supervising agencies, but the supervisors' involvement would be limited to advising operators on appropriate considerations and approaches in such decisions. The supervising agencies would be lead agencies for decisions requiring coordination among the individual systems that they supervise. Such decisions should include active participation by each operating agency whose system will be directly affected by the decision. Except in extreme cases, however, the agreement of all participants in such coordination decisions should be obtained before implementation. Higher-level supervising agencies should be responsible for the review of lower-level supervising agency performance, except in the case where they are either coordinators or operators. This means that the federal and state agencies should not be deeply involved in the management process. (Author)

Cromwell cops searching for suspect following stolen car chase
CROMWELL — Police are continuing their search for a man they say stole a rental car and led officers from two departments on a chase before he crashed into a utility pole adjacent to Frisbie Park.
The man, identified as a thin, light-skinned black male, then fled on foot into the nearby woods and made his getaway despite the efforts of Cromwell and Middletown police.
A woman who was a passenger in the car also attempted to flee, but she was apprehended without incident by Middletown police.
Police say the string of incidents began early Thursday morning when the man allegedly stole a 2004 Buick from a service station in Meriden.
At approximately 8:45 a.m., a Cromwell police officer was dispatched to the McDonald's at 30 Shunpike Road in an attempt to locate the stolen Buick, Police Chief Denise Lamontagne said in a statement Friday afternoon.
The officer located the car. But when he approached the vehicle, the driver backed into another vehicle then speed off, ignoring the officer's commands to stop, Lamontagne said.
The suspect fled north on Shunpike Road "at a high rate of speed" before getting on Route 9 south and disappearing from the officer's view, Lamontagne said.
Then, at approximately 11:20 a.m., the car was observed traveling north on Route 9 in Middletown.
Middletown officers gave chase.
The driver got off Route 9 at Exit 18, but as he came down the exit ramp, he struck the guardrail and crashed into a utility pole.
Portions of Main Street, South Street and River Road were closed off to traffic while police from Cromwell and Middletown attempted to establish a perimeter, according to the report.
Police canine units from the two departments were deployed in an effort "to track the suspect, but were ultimately unsuccessful in locating him," Lamontagne said.
The suspect, estimated to be approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall and last seen wearing a black shirt and blue pants, has been tentatively identified, Lamontagne said.
The police investigation is continuing.
Lamontagne asked anyone who may have witnessed anything to contact Cromwell police at 860-635-2256.

He smiled in his sleep. A goddess stood before him, her long golden hair framing her perfect face, her slender white hands reaching out to him. She was garbed in a gown of gossamer that caressed every voluptuous curve.
She, too, smiled; the lush red lips held all promise, all wisdom, all joy. And her eyes! Against the porcelain whiteness of her skin, framed by impossibly long black lashes, they gazed upon him, and they were the color of wild violets, the wellsprings of peace, the fulfillment of every desire.
In the dream, the goddess spoke, and her voice was soft and low and breathless. "Gabriel."
Gabriel. That was his name. She was calling to him. He must answer. But he couldn't speak; he was mute with awe. Again, she spoke. His name. He reached out a shaking hand.
And awakened.
Before him stood the goddess, but she was not a dream. She was real. He could reach out and touch her.
But dare he? He stared at his hand, big and rough and dark, poised in mid-air. To touch that white, white flesh with it would be sacrilege; to not touch it would be impossible.
His eyes followed the movement of his trembling hand toward the goddess. Powerless to stop it, unwilling to, he held his breath as one finger extended. Though calloused and crooked, it was gentle as it touched her.
So warm was the flesh of the goddess, so soft, so smooth! His breath rushed out in a great sigh. He watched his fingertip trace the back of her hand and he knew he should snatch it away, but he could not.
"Gabriel," called the goddess again. His hand froze. Yes, that was his name. The big, coarse hand belonged to him, Gabriel. The crooked finger belonged to him, Gabriel. A dull ache began to throb in his head. He was a soldier. Yes. He had scars. A sword was propped up in a corner. The scars, the sword, belonged to him, Gabriel.
The finger began again to stroke the softness. A soldier was he, accustomed to the feel of leather, of steel, accustomed to the smell of sweat, of horse, accustomed to the taste of dirt, of blood, accustomed to the harsh voices of men, to screams.
He winced as the pain in his head sharpened. He, Gabriel, was a soldier. His world was filled with hard lines, angles. But here, in the flesh of the goddess, was a world of curves, of warmth, of the scent of flowers, of the taste of sweetness, of a breathless voice whispering his name.
"Gabriel," spoke the goddess yet again. Yes, that was his name. He was a soldier. The pain in his head intensified, spread. There was something he must remember, something he must do. He cried aloud as a knife of agony rent his thoughts.
And suddenly the goddess was kneeling beside him and her voice covered him like a rich, soft cloak. He raised his eyes to her face and he could not look away. He could not speak. There was nothing in the world but those beautiful eyes. No past, no future, only this. He could dwell here, in this moment, forever.
"I am Mirin," she whispered.
"Mirin," he repeated, his voice low and hoarse, and it sounded strange to his ears. His name was Gabriel. He was a soldier. He had a voice.
Her violet eyes shimmered as she looked upon him. A soft, soft hand was laid upon his forehead. Her touch was as light as the caress of a butterfly's wing. He shuddered.
"Lie still now, Gabriel." She rose to her feet and began to walk away.
"Mirin," he croaked. His arm flailed out to her.
"I am only going to get you some water." She turned back to him for a moment and smiled.
The smile, radiant, only for him, calmed his pounding heart, enabled him to draw breath, allowed his arm, so heavy, to fall.
His eyes followed her, never left her. The room around her, the mud walls, the crude hearth, the broken table, were like unnoticed details in the background of a painting.
And yet his mind registered these things. The dull ache crept into his brain again. What was this place? Where was he? The pain intensified. What was he doing here? The pain was excruciating. What had he been doing a moment ago? He was holding his head, howling in agony, but he did not know it.
He felt a touch; the pain ceased. Mirin knelt beside him once more. Her hand stroked the tears from his cheeks, her beautiful face soft with pity.
There was no need. The pain was gone. Her touch, her presence, had banished it.
"You must rest now, Gabriel."
He tried to reach for her hand, to kiss it, to cradle it, to never let it go. He tried to speak.
She lay her fingers on his lips. "Shhh, Gabriel, sleep now."
He did not want to sleep; he wished never to close his eyes again. But he was so very weary. His eyes were closing and he could not stop them. He felt her lay her head upon his chest, felt the gentle fluttering of her pulse even as he felt his own heart pounding mercilessly in his chest.
"Sleep," murmured the breathless voice of the goddess.
He slept. And dreamed. And smiled.

As a former financial analyst and options trader, Brett Plotzker noticed that healthcare benefits and payments in the US simply didn't make sense. The U.S. spends over $300 billion per year on the administration of healthcare services — yet no one can understand exactly what going to the doctor actually costs. Insurance company policies and procedures are a major culprit, gobbling up time and resources while doing little to advance patient care. After being immersed in a world where complex derivatives are settled daily, and then observing that a simple insurance claim could take 180 days to get paid out (and how helpless that is to a consumer), he realized that something was off. After experiencing how these problems affect consumers first hand on multiple occasions, he knew it needed to be fixed.
Brett co-founded Patch to make paying for healthcare more transparent and straightforward. One day, he hopes patients won't need to worry about whether they are "in-network," what their "co-pay" is, or what portion of their "deductible" they've met. They'll simply seek the care they need without worrying if their bill will change.
Brett is co-founder and CEO of Patch, a point-of-sale software, providing real-time price transparency and streamlined insurance benefit processing for the purchase of healthcare services. He holds an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and a BBA from the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business.

May 2012 Newsletter

Could 2012 be the year of Christ's return?
What Is the Origin of Making the Sign of the Cross? X
Rachel Lovejoy
Rachel Lovejoy has been a professional journalist since 1990. She has been a correspondent for the "Journal Tribune" and a guest writer for the "Maine Sunday Telegram" and has written for several weekly newspapers owned by Current Publishing. Lovejoy has a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Southern Maine.
Most of us believe that "making the sign of the Cross is limited to Catholics and that it is simply a Catholic ritual – however that is not true – making the sign is common in some Protestant faiths too – Lutherans are encouraged to do it in Luther's Small Catechism and it has become common in Lutheran churches today. Some Methodist churches also practice making the sign of the cross.
Crucifixion was the standard form of execution during the time of Christ. The sign of the cross is an ancient practice that reaffirms the belief in Jesus' atonement for the world's sins. Mainly Catholics practice it, and while its origins are unknown, it is believed to have originated not long after Jesus' death.
Christ's death is thought to have taken place around the year 33 AD. As Christianity grew, writers such as Tertullian, who encouraged early Christians to make the sign of the cross, spread Jesus' doctrines. Subsequent religious figures continued to promote its use. Basil, bishop of Cappadocia, believed that the sign had been used by the apostles to indicate those who believed in Jesus.
Tertullian's description of the sign suggests that it was made on the forehead with one finger, and early Christians may have consulted Biblical references that mention making a mark on the forehead to indicate God's claim, states "Christianity Today."
There is no dispute over the centrality of the Cross in the spirituality and understanding of the Church. The first definitive written records of Christians "making the sign of the Cross" come from the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries. Scholars have long noted that practices/beliefs were assumed and already well in effect (like the Scriptures) by the time they were in written form.
The current evidence is that the sign of the Cross was traced with one finger (most likely the thumb) on the forehead (and over the mouth when reading Scripture) and over anyone or anything Christians wished to consecrate. The Cross was traced with the right hand (unless one was disabled, etc.), which itself symbolized intimacy with the Christ "who sits at the right hand of God."
The making the sign of the Cross on one's forehead corresponds with the ancient cultures of the Scriptures (e.g. Genesis 4; Ezekiel 9). Marks on the forehead conspicuously display and proclaim the spiritual condition or identity of the person as seen and identified by God.
By the 4th century, the sign of the Cross began to be traced by two (the index and middle) fingers. It also reflected how bishops or (beginning with the 4th century) presbyters (when they began to function as priests) blessed others; the classic Roman gesture for public speaking was the two fingers extended. By the 8th century, the two fingers came to symbolize the two natures of Christ and to distinguish Christians in the East under Islamic rule from Muslims who, as some sources from that time show, lifted "one finger when asking Allah for forgiveness."
By mid 9th century the "three fingers" are replacing the "two finger sign" (though in the East it did not become universal until after the 17th century following the Old Believer Schism in Russia), expanding the focus that through the crucified Jesus we enter communion with the Holy Trinity. In the 13th century in the West, we have the first mention of some who "make the sign of the Cross from the left to the right," the reasons varying from crossing from misery (left) to glory (right) to mirroring the priest blessing them
Regardless of how the Cross was (is) traced in the various traditions, the Church has understood its expression as concretely identifying oneself with the Lord who, through His crucifixion, fully participates in our humanity, which then, as seen in the resurrection-ascension, brings us to organically participate in the life of the Trinity. The Cross symbolizes ("brings together") God's organic descent into death and darkness, through which we are given back to Him. It also symbolizes our embracing the spiritual battle within the deserts of our hearts and choosing to see things from the perspective of the God who shows His all-powerful and sovereign Love by giving up control of His very life on the Cross.
The sign is also used by priests and pastors when making a blessing upon someone or something. It is most commonly accompanied by the words "In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost".
The Friendship Circle
Hi Everyone!
Wow – time is flying by – as I write this it is already the middle of April and by the time you read it, it will be May 1st.
I am sorry I haven't shared with you before now information on what is happening with our Haiti kids, Ruth and Karl. I want to share a bit on what we have done so far.
Earlier this year, in February I believe, we sent little Ruth a birthday box filled with a variety of fun things all wrapped in brightly colored tissue paper. I am sure she was wide eyed as she opened the box and saw its contents. A huge thanks to all who contributed to filling her box with surprises.
Karl will be having a birthday in August and I hope to do the same for him as well. Keep this in mind and think about donating a gift for him. I will have more details later on.
As of this writing, from donations I received, I have also purchased, prepared and sent school supplies for Ruth and Karl, as well as some items for the teacher and classroom.
God bless you all and thanks so much for all your help…couldn't do it without you!
Don't forget – kids love mail! Write a letter or send a card even if it is just to say "Hi"! …Annie Vroman

Old News Items…
Sutherland Courier - Sutherland, Iowa Nov 4, 1898
Four gasoline street lamps were put in position Wednesday by the town authorities. One was placed at Woodbury's corner, one at the corner by the State Bank, another on the corner by the former D. Hockert store and the fourth on the south side of Second street in front of L. Schwerdtfeger's shoe shop.
The lamps are of the pattern used largely in cities and are the best that could be had. They cost $5 each at Cleveland, Ohio.
LeMars, Iowa Sentinel November 1882
-Flood, famine, tornado, mine disaster—to say nothing of the Martinique horror (Mont Pelee eruption)—have followed each other so closely that it is little wonder that believers in the literal sense of the Bible hold that the consummation of the age is at hand. In the face of such horrors as these the Christendom of 500 years ago would have been on its knees. It might be well if the Christendom of today were to take to its knees. The attitude is one that one seldom assumes.
Two Prayers
Last night my little boy confessed to me
Some childish wrong;
And kneeling at my knee,
He prayed with Tears-
"Dear God, make me a man
Like Daddy-wise and strong,
I know You can
Then while he slept
I knelt beside his bed;
Confessed my sins,
And prayed with bow-downed head;
"O God, make me a child
Like my child here-
Pure, guileless,
Trusting Thee with faith sincere".

Description of problem:
The print dialog can't print to raw queues, i.e. queues that have no PPD. With
these queues, the HTTP 'GET' request will get a 404 response.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.lpadmin -p rawqueue -v file:/dev/lp0
2.Start OpenOffice.org Writer
3.Press Ctrl-P
4.Click on rawqueue
Actual results:
Print button not clickable, error message in xsession errors about the GET response
Expected results:
Print button clickable, just no PPD options to change.
Additional info:
Users might configure raw queues for SMB printers, for example.
*** Bug 213119 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
We just should pass the application's PostScript straight through for raw
queues, and obviously there are no options to tweak in that case.
can we figure out if the queue is raw from cups? Should be an easy fix in that
You get an HTTP 404 when trying to fetch the PPD. That means there is no PPD,
and so it's raw.
Matthias Clasen: can You give some status update on that bug. Some applications
are unable to print!
I'll build an update with a fix for this shortly
Update is in testing now
gtk2-2.10.8-3.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.

Harley-Davidson Showcases Two Groundbreaking Lightweight Electric Concepts At X Games Aspen 2019
Aspen (January 28, 2019) – Harley-Davidson, the company that has defined the motorcycle industry for the past 116 years, introduced two new electric concepts showcasing the excitement and style of the future at X Games Aspen 2019.
Following the recently revealed LivewireTM motorcycle, these two concepts look towards a new electrified chapter of Harley-Davidson's story that will continue with innovative approaches to transportation and technology, wrapped in evocative styling and design.
The upcoming electric portfolio will feature a spectrum of models and price points from a few thousand dollars to Harley-Davidson's halo electric motorcycle, the LiveWireTM at $37,250 CAD MSRP.
All-new Riding Experiences with Iconic Harley-Davidson Power
As part of the push towards a different future, these concepts explore the potential of urban mobility and two-wheeled adoption. Both concepts bring Harley-Davidson's expertise in expressive two-wheeled experiences and push boundaries in design and technology.
• Attracting New Riders: The goal for these concepts is to not require a motorcycle license to operate and feature twist and go operation; lowering the learning curve and expanding the opportunity to riders and aspiring riders everywhere in the process.
• The Riding Experience: With an intended lightweight target for each concept, agility and maneuverability are at the core of their riding experience and ease of use. Combined with electric powertrains that provide instant acceleration, the goal is to offer a thrilling riding experience that adds emotive moments to your daily life.
• Battery design is intended to be removable and enable single-hand-carry back to an apartment or office space to charge using a charging dock that plugs into any standard household power outlet.
• Individuality in an Urban Mobility Future: The design language of these two concepts embrace their electric powerplants and put raw emotion into the equation of the future with unique silhouettes, form factors, and solutions. Making personal expression more accessible and individualized is at the very heart of our strategy to grow the next generation of Harley-Davidson riders globally and is a key component in H-D's vision of the future of urban mobility.
Leading the Electrification of Motorcycling
In 2018, the company announced its More Roads to Harley-Davidson accelerated plan for growth. The plan includes initiatives to deliver new products in additional motorcycle segments, create broader access, and strengthen the H-D dealer network. It also boldly proclaims that Harley-Davidson will lead the electrification of motorcycling. These two new concepts are manifestations of that vision, and alongside the production 2020 LiveWireTM motorcycle, point to a broad portfolio of electric two- wheelers designed to establish the company as the leader in the electrification of mobility over the next several years and inspire new riders with new ways to ride.

Harley-Davidson® release further details on 2019 LiveWire™ at EICMA show
Today the all-new electric Harley-Davidson® LiveWire™ made its European debut at a press conference held at the EICMA show, Milan. During the presentation Vice President of Product Planning and Portfolio Marc McAllister revealed eagerly-awaited specification and details about the first in a portfolio of electric two-wheelers from Harley-Davidson.
Due for release in 2019 and being shown at the event as a production-ready motorcycle, LiveWire was first confirmed during the announcement of the company's "More Roads to Harley-Davidson". On July 30, 2018, Harley-Davidson shared plans to accelerate its strategy to build the next generation of riders globally. Leveraging core strengths in the business, brand and dealer network, the company intends to invest in opportunities that inspire increased ridership sooner and deliver sustainable growth for the future. As part this accelerated plan, Harley-Davidson intends to be the world leader in the electrification of motorcycles, and is aggressively, but wisely, investing in electric vehicle technology. Harley-Davidson is excited about the future of electric motorcycles and expect to deliver a full portfolio of electric motorcycles by 2022.
The vision behind the production LiveWire motorcycle began with Project LiveWire, revealed as a prototype in 2014 as an effort to gauge the potential of an electric-powered motorcycle as envisioned by Harley-Davidson.
Drawing from the experiences of the Project LiveWire demo tour and following an intensive development program the Harley-Davidson LiveWire model offers the rider a new, high-performance motorcycling experience. Propelled by the immediate torque of an all-electric motor, the LiveWire motorcycle is capable of astounding acceleration with just a twist of the throttle – no clutching or gear shifting required. A low centre of gravity, rigid aluminum frame and premium adjustable suspension components give the LiveWire dynamic handling. Performance and range are optimized for the urban street-rider.
The LiveWire motorcycle is powered by a permanent magnet electric motor that produces instant torque the moment that throttle is twisted– which results in incredible acceleration performance for a thrilling ride. The motor is located low in the motorcycle to lower the center of gravity and help the motorcycle handle well at all speeds and easy to control when stopped. The LiveWire model is designed to produce a tone that increases in pitch and volume with speed –a new sound that represents the smooth, electric power of the LiveWire motorcycle.
Powertrain performance is maximized by a chassis designed to deliver nimble, agile handling for confident control on urban streets and a thrilling ride on curving backroads. Combining the powertrain as a stressed member within the aluminum frame to increase rigidity, the LiveWire features premium high-performance fully adjustable Showa® suspension. The Showa®
BFRC-lite® (Balanced Free Rear Cushion-lite) mono-shock rear suspension is complimented by Showa SFF-BP® (Separate Function Fork-Big Piston®) up front, balanced to match the performance and adjustability of the rear shock and deliver exceptional low-speed damping control – ideal for composed control in typical urban riding conditions.
To improve the control and performance of the motorcycle further LiveWire is fitted with Brembo Monoblock front brake calipers gripping dual 300 mm-diameter discs to deliver outstanding power with a crisp feel for confident braking performance. Confidence when riding is enhanced with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS) – both of which are standard features on the LiveWire model – and co-branded H-D/Michelin Scorcher tires (180mm rear/120mm front). The rider can also tailor the performance of LiveWire with seven selectable riding modes – four of which are set as standard from the factory and a further three modes that can be defined by the user.
A color touch screen TFT display (thin-film-transistor, a type of liquid-crystal display noted for high image quality and contrast) located above the handlebar offers the rider a wide range of information on a screen that's bright and easy to read. The display unit is tilt-adjustable to afford most riders a perfect viewing angle. The TFT screen also allows the rider to access the interface for Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, music and more.
The LiveWire motorcycle features a RESS (Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the main battery) composed of lithium-ion cells surrounded by a finned, cast-aluminum housing. The LiveWire motorcycle is also equipped with a small 12-volt lithium-ion battery that powers the lights, controls, horn and instrument display. Charging can be completed using an on-board Level 1 charger that plugs into a standard household outlet with a power cord that stores below the motorcycle seat. LiveWire can also be charged with a Level 2 and Level 3, or DC Fast Charge (DCFC), through a SAE J1772 connector, (USA), or CCS2 – IEC type 2 charging connector in international markets. All Harley-Davidson dealers who sell the LiveWire motorcycle will offer a public charging station.
The LiveWire's style is just as stunning as the performance and follows a key Harley-Davidson styling dictum: the focus is on the motor. Just as the V-Twin engine is the most eye-catching element – the crown jewel – of every previous Harley-Davidson motorcycle, the electric motor is the first-look focus of the LiveWire motorcycle. Its bright case and mechanical, muscular shape are meant to convey the power it contains. In addition, the cast-aluminum case for the RESS has been styled with functional cooling fins. The bodywork, finished utilizing advanced paint technology to give the look of anodized metal, flows from a battery cover through to a high, wasp-like contoured tail section, with a rear fender that hugs the wheel so tightly that is almost disappears from sight.
The all-new Harley-Davidson LiveWire will be on sale next year, and further details regarding pricing and pre-order process will be released in January 2019. Please visit h-d.com for more details.

All Brown at Georgian Downs FT
Dustin Brown celebrated his 17th birthday in style at Georgian Downs Raceway near Barrie, ON, on Saturday night, dominating round ten of the 12 event Harley-Davidson Canada Flat Track Series presented by Parts Canada. Brown earned his third Feature race win in a row, moving steadily closer to his first overall number one plate for Canadian Flat Track – Brown holds a solid lead atop the Expert Open points standings.
With lightning on the horizon and rain threatening, the Flat Track Canada sanctioning group hurried the schedule, and Brown ran away with the 15 Lap expert Open Feature. Earlier Brown won the Expert Open race as well as the Dash for Cash at the venue described as the biggest track on the National tour.
"My plan was to put my head down after a good start and just check out, and that's what happened," smiled an elated Brown from the centre of the Podium. "I want to say a big thanks to all my local fans, it was just a great day. With two races left in the Series, the goals are still consistency, and then see how we do at the end of each race and now the end of the day for the series."
After thanking main backers Sehl Racing, Kurt Beiger Racing and Yamaha Canada, Brown confirmed that he was lucky to earn the win in the main event.
"I guess the bike more or less blew up when I crossed the finish line," confirmed Brown, who pulled off outside turn one and had to be pushed to the Podium, skipping the usual victory lap. "We really don't know what happened, it just started bogging down on the last lap, and then just quit."
Brown was aboard a well-travelled and well-sorted C&J framed, air-cooled Rotax single, in fact the same bike that Scott Sehl used to win with in 2000. The bike displaces 614cc, "as big as a short stroke Rotax can be and still stay reliable."
Well behind victor Brown, 2018 multi-National victor Dave Pouliot aboard a Woods-Rotax held on to earn second after a near event-long fight against veteran fast guy Chris Evans. Evans netted third aboard a Honda-powered "framer."
Following the Final, Pouliot admitted that his "framer" had lost the rear brake mid-event, perhaps as a result of an earlier crash. "I was trying hard, we were good, but we just were not quite there, and Dustin pulled away." Pouliot thanked mentor and bike builder John Parker as well as Canadian Kawasaki, Moto Vanier and Inglis Cycle.
"I feel like I pushed the number 16 all day," explained 55-year-old Evans of his pursuit of Pouliot. "It got a little exciting over those last few laps. I plan to race a few more years, and we have a couple of irons in the fire."
Reigning National Champ Brodie Buchan was back in action after missing the past four National Feature races due to an arm injury. The current number one opted to skip the production-framed DTX event, his typical speciality, and make his twin cylinder debut aboard a borrowed Kawasaki 650 powered "framer" belonging to American sponsor Tim Wells.
Buchan held fourth for most of the Main, showing good form on the rambunctious Twin, but was caught late in the race by the framer of a hard-charging Tyler Seguin. Seguin took fourth, Buchan fifth ahead of DTX Yamaha mounted Jimmy McCullough and the Honda framer of American Brandon Newman.
In the early-program Heats to determined grids for the Feature race, Brown dominated the opener as Buchan held off Newman for third. Seguin borrowed Evans bike but dropped out with a mechanical issue, meaning he did not qualify for the fan-favorite Dash for Cash.
In Open Expert Heat Two, Pouliot on his DTX-class Kawasaki edged Evans in a good dice, Evans aboard Seguin's machine! Luke Rahm completed the Dash for Cash grid, battling to a strong third in Open Expert Heat Two.
Production Yamaha-mounted Brown also ran off with the mid-evening, ten lap DTX event, winding up almost four seconds up on Pouliot's Kawasaki. Pouliot kept the pressure on in the overall season class points standings by coming out on top in a good battle with third overall Newman. Honda pilot Trent Pickle backed up his first Pro Heat win with a strong fourth ahead of McCullough.
As is frequently the case, the Dash for Cash was action packed, Pouliot crashing to cause an early red flag. After the second start, the motivated Buchan fell from his twin for the first time, but didn't stop the action. Both riders were quickly back in action.
Brown ended up taking "Dash" victory, while Evans came out on top of Pouliot in another fight for second. Newman was fourth while Rahm completed the finishers with his Honda.
The next round of the tour is scheduled for Wheatley, ON, September 22, with the season wrapping up a week later at Sarnia's Hiawatha Downs, September 29.

Pouliot wins Flamboro Flat Track as Champ Buchan Injured
Dave Pouliot won his first National of the season at Flamboro Downs, near Hamilton, ON, in round five action of the 2018 Harley-Davidson Canada Flat Track Series presented by Parts Canada. The Kawasaki-backed Quebecer took control early and held off Dustin Brown of Utterson, ON, for the win over 15 laps in a big evening for the classic Rotax single cylinder powered flat track "framer" combination around "Canada's Fastest Half Mile."
Pouliot now leads the Open Expert series as the National Championship heads to the mid-point of the 12 event schedule.
Another classic race design netted third, Michigan-based American Stephen Vanderkurr completing the podium aboard a Harley-Davidson XR750 twin.
Veteran part-time National racer Dominic Beaulac of Trois-Riviere, Quebec, was a pre-race favorite, but a first-try jump start moved him to the back of the second start grid on his Rotax-framer. From there, the aggressive Beaulac charged up to earn fourth.
Missing from the race was reigning overall Flat Track Canada Champion Brodie Buchan of Leamington, ON. The Honda-backed Expert was scheduled to ride a borrowed Rotax-Framer in the main event, but injured his left arm in a crash during the twice-restarted "Dash for Cash" race.
Already the victor in two Feature races in 2018, Buchan's injury throws his Championship chase in to question for the Parts Canada/Phibbs-baced rising star. Next weekend, the series has a rare double-header oval/TT combo at famed four-wheel venue Ohsweken Speedway.
The "Dash for Cash" ended with a wild battle between Pouliot and Beaulac, but Beaulac ended inches behind rival Pouliot at the finish line in a photo finish.
In the eight lap DTX Expert race, Tyler Seguin of Welland, ON, jumped into an early lead aboard his Parts Canada-backed Honda moto crosser. Class points leader Buchan worked up from a bad start to put pressure on the leader, but couldn't make a pass stick. Seguin too his first DTX win of the year from Buchan, Pouliot third on his John Parker Racing built entry.
Fourth in DTX belonged to Brown on a Sehl Yamaha. In a tight battle for fifth place in DTX, former number one Don Taylor of Port Colborne, ON, on a KBR Honda just edged Luke Rahm's Honda.
Following the main event, Pouliot didn't want to be considered the man to beat for the Title, but admitted that "things are shaping up for the rest of the season." Pouliot's bike was built over the course of a year by mentor Parker, with backing form Moto Vanier.
Post win, Parker confirmed that the classic Woods-Rotax racer was created with "no budget, brand new build, it's an exact replica of the bike that I won all those races with in 1999."
For runner up Brown, just 16-years-old and second in the standings, the result came from "focusing on improvements with me and the bike, and doing my best to be consistent. I feel like I'm becoming a consistent rider, and I can put together a good run for the rest of the season."
Third overall Vanderkurr appreciated the attention he received for racing a classic H-D twin against the classic singles. "I knew we could do well", explained the Amsoil/RK -backer American, "but it is a challenge with this bike against the lighter bikes."

Open-ended interview questions are meant to give you a glimpse of how candidates work and think.
Simon Anderson, CEO of DreamHost, a web hosting provider and domain name registrar, says he asks one question to determine what motivates candidates: "Tell me about the first experience in your life when you realised that you had the power of change or the power to do something meaningful."
"It's open-ended. Some people might tell the story of when they were five and there was some incident and they had to take more responsibility for their baby brother or sister," he tells The
New York Times. "Maybe it was from their teenage years: 'Something bad was going to happen at school and I stood up for this friend of mine and all of a sudden I felt self-empowered to do things.' I think that's really important. If someone sits there and they're stumped, I think that tells you something."
Anderson says that if he were asked this specific question, he would talk about the time he got separated from his dad and brother surfing at age seven. Instead of getting stressed and giving up, Anderson made the decision to work through it on his own: "For me, there's a lot of those kinds of experiences in my upbringing that have helped me feel very self-empowered, and that I can effect change."
"I think there's this big shift under way in business where you have to respect the fact that people are going to forge their own path, and they're going to be motivated by different things and they're going to want to do meaningful things," he says. "So in our business, finding people who are equally motivated and believe in that is really important."

Posted on 04/08/2018 9:59:54 PM PDT by lowbuck
Tech titan Jack Dorsey of San Francisco-based social media platform Twitter applauded an article in something called Medium in which some other hipster CEO described how liberals intend to crush Normal Americans into serfdom in a bloodless civil war.
Here it is.
It will just sort of happen. Why? Because. Americans will simply decide to be like California because of reasons and phew, no more troublesome conservatives and Gaia is saved! . . . snip
The liberal plan for civil war does not take into account how prosperous states like Texas went hard right in the 90s and show no sign of changing colors, and there is no mention of how Republicans hold more elected offices today than at any time in history. Well, as any successful general knows, when faced with unpleasant realities you ignore them and hope it all somehow works out. . . snip
If the liberals ever get their wish for a new civil war, my money is on the side with all the guns.
(Excerpt) Read more at townhall.com ...
And at least 80% of Republican Congress & Senate are helping them achieve that goal. K Street and the Camber of Commerce are their Masters, we are just pinons.
The atavistic part of me has wanted something to break for quite a while. Have put up with the insults and attacks for far too long not to want some payback.
Liberal agendas are always carried out by force of government, not persuasion. Their plan is and always has been to take over the highest levels of government and then stage an October Revolution type coup. They will finally announce who they really are (communists) and begin the extermination once conservatives have been disarmed.
The real reason why the Hogg Show is so popular with the commie left "media". The 'RATS don't stand a chance until they can disarm Americans. Thankfully, we have the Second Amendment that allows us to take the fight back to them.
As seen on Dangerous.com
Emily Sulkowicz, May 27 2017.
Mattress Girl turns herself into a BDSM 'Art' Exhibit
in protest of Trump.
Sulkowwicz's latest display featured her
bound, berated and hung from the ceiling'.
"I chose to have a white man tie me up while wearing a business suit with a Whitney necktie, while I wear a Whitney ISP thong bikini."
At one point, the white character named "Master Avery" ties her up and begins yelling insults at her. He then asks if anyone wishes to join in? At which point, a man comes forward from the audience, walks up to Sulkowicz and slaps her hard across the face."
To which I say "No Comment needed".
Uh oh Pillow fight!
Bkmrk JACK
The guys at her school ID'd her as a "Walking STD Dispenser" as she was such a known slut.
For Democrats, normal and natural is the enemy.
Some of us will refuse to disarm, that will give other normal Americans an idea.
Hey, libtards - go ahead, start another civil war .... You only imagine it will be "bloodless" ... But most of us in "flyover" country hold a vastly different opinion on the matter.
My money is on the side with all the guns :)
Liberals like pajama boy; Bringing a pillow to a gun fight?

(From AP News)
Amid a lull in Damascus' embattled rebel-held suburbs, a small team of relief workers entered the eastern Ghouta area on Friday to deliver remaining aid left over from a mission earlier in the week, the International Committee of the Red Cross said.
ICRC said a convoy of 13 trucks, including food parcels for 12,000 people, went into Douma — the largest and most populated town in the rebel-held eastern Ghouta, on the edge of the Syrian capital.
The delivery consists of the remaining aid that was not offloaded during a humanitarian aid mission to the enclave on Monday which was cut short because of deteriorating security. The trucks had been stuck at the Wafideen crossing the entire week, waiting to enter to deliver the remaining food parcels and flour bags.
ICRC spokeswoman Indy Sedky said the trucks crossed into eastern Ghouta on Friday "after getting security guarantees from all parties to make sure no incident will happen during the presence of our team" there.
