Las Vegas property to raise Waldorf Astoria flag in late summer with plans for improvements and upgrades based on new brand touches
LAS VEGAS and MCLEAN, Va. - Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Hilton's (NYSE: HLT) iconic luxury hotel brand, today announced plans to convert the Mandarin Oriental on the Las Vegas Strip to the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas in August 2018.

As an investor in various accelerators and incubators in Canada and the U.S., including The Next 36, I often meet young or first time entrepreneurs who are raising venture capital with little understanding of how VCs operate. There are a few key points that new entrepreneurs should consider when approaching a VC for funding:
Venture capital is not for every business The ultimate goal of any venture fund is to make a return on their investment of 10 times. VCs like to look at businesses that are based on big ideas and target an extremely large market, address a pain point or area ripe for innovation, and are infinitely scalable. Now, think about your business. Does your business address these three key points for a VC? Is it in the area of expertise of the VC you are approaching?
VCs want to see committed, focused and passionate entrepreneurs The founding team is a vital consideration of a potential investment for a VC. They want to know: is the founding team passionate about the idea? How does their experience play in? Does the founder have the ability to attract a great team?
Get to know the VC's cycle and objectives Before taking a meeting with a VC firm, it's important for you to do your research on venture capital and the firm you are about to meet, as well as the individual principal or partner you are meeting with. Venture capital works by investing money into a company in rounds of financing that follow a pattern of angel, seed, Series A, Series B, Series C and so on. My firm Relay typically comes in at the Series A round with a focus on mobile computing, whereas other funds may focus on later stages and different industries. Do detailed research before you meet, by looking at blogs/websites, that list earlier investments, on Twitter, or from industry associations such as the National Venture Capital Association.
We are rarely the only people around the table When entrepreneurs pitch us and tell us we are the "premier VC firm in Canada" and the only one that they'd like to work with, we take that as a sign of naïveté. We are rarely the only people sitting around the table when we make an investment in a company. Having more VCs balance perspectives and helps raise awareness and confidence in your organization and increase the size of the network by opening it up to more nodes. It may seem counter-intuitive to young entrepreneurs, but your best bet to get us interested is to get others interested, too.
Ultimately, you want to make sure your interests are aligned with the venture capitalist you choose to partner with or else the relationship won't work. Do your research and contemplate whether or not there is a fit between your company and the VC fund. Ultimately, that will determine the health of your partnership, as well as contribute to the growth and success of your business.
John Albright is Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Relay Ventures, an early stage venture fund focused on mobile computing with offices in Toronto and Menlo Park. Relay Ventures is an investment partner of The Next 36.

Report have emerged that a catholic church has been transformed into a mosque in the city of Venice, Italy.
According to prominent New York Times, Today, Friday, 8th, May 2015, as part of the Venice Biennale, a former Catholic church in the Cannaregio neighborhood will open its doors as a functioning mosque, its walls adorned with Arabic script, its floor covered with a prayer rug angled toward Mecca and its crucifix mosaics hidden behind a towering prayer niche.
When it was a Church. Photo credit: New York Times
It was learnt that for the next seven months Venice will find itself in the middle of a constant debate about Islam's place in Europe.
Now a Mosque. Photo credit: New York Times
Known for is arts and alluring architectural beauty, Venus remains one of the few European cities without a mosque near its historic centre, which has left Islamic residents with no choice than to pray in storerooms and shops.
Following the scene of a rising Islamophobia in Venice and Italy in general and fears like those in France which had to deal with a terrorist attack recently, Muslim leaders in Venice said they saw the proposal to create a temporary mosque as a perfect way to communicate their desire to more fully participate in the life of their city.
"Sometimes you need to show yourself, to show that you are peaceful and that you want people to see your culture," said Mohamed Amin Al Ahdab, president of the Islamic Community of Venice, which represents Muslims of about 30 nationalities living in greater Venice.

'Silent Spring' author Rachel Carson Honored in Google Doodle
Rachel Carson was commemorated in a Google Doodle this month in honor of her 107th birthday. Carson authored the book Silent Spring which inspired the global environmental movement and led to the banning of the pesticide DDT.
Carson was born in 1907 in Pennsylvania (USA) and studied zoology at Johns Hopkins University – later completing an MA in 1932. Carson worked as a marine biologist at the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries where she analyzed and reported field data on fish populations, wrote brochures and began to write articles for various newspapers.
Among the books which she authored, Silent Spring is het most well-known. It was published in 1962 and described the environmental and health impacts of pesticides.
Carson's other books include The Sea Around Us (1952) and The Edge of the Sea (1955). Carson died of breast cancer in 1964. Rachel Carson has received numerous posthumous accolades including having a prize named after her – the Rachel Carson Prize, which was founded in Stavanger (Norway) in 1991 and which is awarded to women who have made a contribution in the field of environmental protection.

OD Ethnic Bias? . . .
To some extent, I agree with him. This bias comes through as an Anti-Utica Bias but sometimes is more overtly anti-Italian, as in the OD article about "snickering" over dropped vowels, and OD's seeming fixation on 50 year old "Sin City" events. And, yes, there seems to be a double standard where New Hartford is concerned (although that may finally be changing). The bias is wrong, and it hinders regional progress.
That said, the Mayor cannot convincingly play the "bias" card to cover up the shenanigans over the Labella appointment. The law was violated. Several layers of government and several bureaucrats were complicit.
It's important for the public to know these things and the newspaper's job to report them.
There are plenty Americans of Italian descent in the Utica area that are upset over l'affaire Labella. The mayor's claim of bias to cover up his own lack of accountability is not only irresponsible but is a poor reflection on Utica and others who share his ethnic heritage.
3 comments:

The Mayor of Utica was definitely outwitted when he appeared on the radio show. The Mayor's true naiveté emerged as the show's host and his badgering staff had a field day leading him into an area of controversial and provocative subject matters. The amusing portion of the audio clip was when the Mayor willingly followed their lead and embellished how the local newspaper was attacking his political appointees. The Mayor drew a comparison to the recent appointments that the New Hartford Town Supervisor made to fill their Chief of Staff and Town Attorney positions. What the Mayor failed to mention was that New Hartford's new Town Supervisor did not elect to break the law to make these appointments. There is a difference between making quid pro quo political appointments and violating the Civil Service Law to stack the administration's deck with a boyhood friend. The Mayor tells his interviewers that he is a very caring person and desires want he deems as best for the City of Utica. However in this case, perhaps a professional City Manager or City Administrator is needed to serve this administration as the Mayor's personal political expert would be in the best interest of the City.
It is unfortunate for those who are of Irish decent. Donna Donovan has used the newspaper as her "bully-pulpit" for her own causes and that of her husband and son who is an example of what youth should not be.
Whatever our ethnic backgrounds are...be they Irish, Polish, Italian, African - American, Samoan, etc., we all need to be treated fairly and equitably.
There is a bias in reporting and too, a bias in hiring. The Town of New Hartford is a perfect example in their absolute failure in hiring not one female or minority for their police force. Why? Chief Raymond Philo prefers the "family and friends" plan.
The plain truth is that the Mayor does have difficulty with language and thinking skills. This does not have anything to do with his ethnicity and those who comment on it are not anti Italian. The OD's references to the past crime investigations are more of an excuse to blow its own horn as a prize winning paper. Those investigations were also, in fact, a key part of Utica's history and ushered in significant change, particularly political. They contributed to the end of the Elefante era. I don't think historical accounting and recollection is harmful in any significant way. Camplaints of the Roefaro type are more of the lame excuse type so common to politicians and pc types.

Chester — High on a hill overlooking the north end of Glenmere Lake rises Glenmere Mansion, the splendidly rebuilt peach-colored stucco mansion that serves as a bed-and-breakfast for the rich.
Chester — High on a hill overlooking the north end of Glenmere Lake rises Glenmere Mansion, the splendidly rebuilt peach-colored stucco mansion that serves as a bed-and-breakfast for the rich.
Down below, at the base of the hill near the shore of the lake, lies the decaying remains of the former estate, to which both the mansion and the lakefront once belonged.
A long-awaited state Department of Conservation plan to clean up the rotting buildings might finally get under way, mitigating the stark contrast between luxury and unsightliness.
On Tuesday, the DEC will hold a public comment period on its plans to remediate the 9.9-acre shore property through its environmental restoration program, which would pay for a portion of the $1.6 million cleanup.
Orange County is also hoping to have the site designated a Superfund cleanup site, making it eligible for federal grants.
The work would include demolition of the remaining on-site buildings, excavation of soil contaminated with arsenic and lead from the western portion of the site, and excavation of sediments from a small area of Glenmere Lake where contamination was found.
The property is a habitat for northern cricket frogs, which are endangered, and the lake is the drinking supply for the Village of Florida.
When completed, the cleanup would allow Orange County, which owns the property, to convert the lakefront into a passive park for activities such as fishing, walking and bird-watching, said county spokeswoman Kristin Jensen.
Jensen said the availability of the property for public use "will be determined by the timing of the cleanup."
The 9.9 acres were part of a 1,440-acre estate that included the rebuilt Glenmere Mansion, as well as other properties.
Subsequent uses for the sold-off portions include a golf course.
The Glenmere Mansion, purchased recently by investors from Tuxedo Park, was once used as a wedding banquet facility.
The public comment session is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the legislative chambers of the Orange County Government Center in Goshen.

When Metallica followed up Ride the Lightning with Master of Puppets, an album that is virtually identical in terms of structure and songwriting, I don't recall anyone at the time getting butthurt about receiving more of a good thing.
Why, then, is Deceiver of the Gods getting flak for its lack of forward momentum and the band's entirely sane decision to not go about fixing the unbroken and popular sounds they've achieved of late? Personally, I look at it this way:
Twilight of the Thunder God = Number of the Beast; the definitive and instant classic.
Surtur Rising = Piece of Mind; the longer and more confident follow-up. Less oomph, but definite quality.
Deceiver of the Gods = (you guessed it) Powerslave; a top-of-the-game album. Safe choices, very clean production.
It's a fun record with all the chops you would expect and influences written all over it. It has a Priest's worth of double harmonies and a heck of a lot of old-school thrash. "Blood Eagle", in particular just screams Kreator. I highly recommend the deluxe version, which includes an EP of original tunes written (absolutely perfectly) in the style of Priest, AC/DC, Mötorhead and Sabbath. Johan Hegg's Ozzy impersonation alone is worth the price of admission.
If these past three records are where the Amon Amarth wants to plateau, I have absolutely no problem with camping out a while. Let's just hope my Maiden analogy goes no further. 8 out of 10

"Talking in the cinema is not to be encouraged, except when Anthea Courtenay and Elizabeth Trueblood are the only ones there and they are watching a porn film and musing about Kevin's activities. In this production you will not see the film (sorry), But the conversation is hilarious."After the break we then have the welcome return of Francis Beckett. It's been a busy year for Francis, so it's good to have him writing stage plays again. In case you'd forgotten what the great man looks like, here he is, posing, perhaps as Whitaker himself. As Francis explains:
"Whitaker, public relations consultant, has invited a new client to lunch. Now all he has to worry about is what he's going to do when the bill arrives".
Sounds appetising. Be at the North London Tavern, at 7.30.

Vosta LMG Successfully Tests Dredging Connection
A new "quick connect dredge hose coupling" designed by Vosta LMG has been successfully tested in the United States in a joint effort with a USA customer.
The new coupling was developed to enhance safety and to make the assembly and disassembly procedures for floating dredge hoses easier and faster, which is traditionally slow and labor intensive due to the use of bolted flange connections. The reduction in down time caused by speeding up the process can be a major cost saving in dredging operations.
The field test showed that the new "quick connect dredge hose coupling" can be used without additional buoyancy, which is a direct result of the lightweight design. After the test the customer advised Vosta LMG that "upon alignment of the male and female segments, the quick connect came together very easily".
The new "quick connect dredge hose coupling" is named the Straight Universal Coupling and can be supplied with a Formula 1 style manual operation or hydraulic operation.

Family Research Council recognizes and respects the inherent dignity of every human life from conception (whether by natural or artificial means) until death. FRC desires to help build a culture of life, holding that all human life is a gift to be treasured. The life of every human being is an intrinsic good, not something whose value is conditional upon its usefulness to others or to the state.
Threats to human life include abortion, euthanasia, and many new forms of biotechnology. However, human beings need not prove their moral worth by demonstrating sentience, or self-awareness, or a certain level of cognitive ability. Neither scientific progress nor the desire to help others can justify the sacrifice of any human being's life or inherent dignity. Every human being, born or unborn, deserves the equal protection of the law.
Few things touch on the sanctity of human life more than the practice of abortion. A pregnancy should not simply be "terminated," as if it were something impersonal and problematic and it cannot be without physical and emotional consequences. A child in the womb is a distinct, developing, wholly human being, and each time a mother decides or a father pressures to end such a life it is a profound tragedy. Abortion harms the mother as well, and deprives society of the gifts of the unborn.
Nevertheless, our laws rarely recognize this, and so FRC uses various media to present the intrinsic dignity of unborn human life and the costs of abortion to the public, to lawmakers, and to the courts. The Roe v. Wade decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, declaring abortion to be a constitutional "right," was without foundation in the text of the Constitution and thus was wrongly decided, and we look forward to the day when this grave error will be corrected.

The Nation Supports the Government on its Draconinan Anti-Democratic Cyber Crime Bill
In defense of the Cyber Crime Bill:
Contrary to the fears expressed by some-civil liberty advocates, the law is not intended to give authorities too much power to impose censorship, restrict freedom of expression, or infringe on individual rights and privacy. Indeed, the law seeks to enhance individual privacy: under the Computer Crime Act, employers are forbidden from screening or monitoring employees' e-mails without prior notice.
Note how The Nation equates political freedom with employers monitoring e-mails, as if that was the most important aspect of individual freedom. How does not taking an unauthorized peek at employee's e-mails an "enhancement" of privacy? It doesn't enhance shit.
However, the true intention of The Nation's stance in support of this Cyber Crime Bill is to defend the monarchy on the internet:
The law also bolsters the capability of law-enforcement agencies to go after international criminals as well. The law specifies that any criminal act targeting or negatively affecting a person in Thailand will fall into the jurisdiction of Thai law enforcers, who will be able to prosecute wrongdoers regardless of where in the world they committed the crime.
In case you missed the columns concerning the You Tube controversy and The Nation's take on free speech, here are columns written by Thanong and Jeerawat.
What happens when King Bumibol dies and Sia Oh turns out to be a monster? I guess we are all supposed to sit back and have The Nation tell us what to think.
But The Nation doesn't want to stop you just at criticizing the monarchy, but to go after pornographers as well, as if looking at naked people on the internet will destroy civilization as we know it:
Now that the law is in effect, people will have to think twice about such innocuous activities as forwarding e-mails containing information or pictures of other people in compromising positions, or circulating URLs of websites that offer content such as pornography. Senders will now have to consider the impact of this material on others because those forwarding such material can also be prosecuted for infringing on others' rights to privacy.
And here is a key passage, maybe even a psychological Freudian slip, that reveals the mentality of how The Nation manages its operations:
There had been debate about the possible liability of ISPs in cases of criminals using their resources to commit crimes. But the law makes it clear that ISPs who operate their businesses in good faith have nothing to fear. For example, ISPs that take prompt and appropriate action against criminals to stop them from using their networks to commit crimes or take remedial measures will not be prosecuted as accessories to criminal actions.
Well, we all know that The Nation will tow the junta's propaganda line in order to protect its business, and the editors will defend the junta in the name of furthering their careers.
In other words, Suthichai and Thepchai will keep up their anti-Thaksin, pro-junta campaign and, in return, we get to see their delightful mugs and shitty interviews on Thai TV. However, if you don't tow the militarist line, Suthichai, Thepchai, Tulsie, Sopon, Thanong and the others want the Thai police( like they don't have better things to do with their time) to hunt you down wherever you are in the world and prosecute you for your political speech.
Now, The Nation wants to make sure that that Thai cyberspace is criminalized, so that we can all enjoy an internet that is free from naked ladies and anti-monarchy speech. Lovely. It is comforting to know that The Nation, a major media company in Thailand, is taking the sides of the old yentas at The Ministry of Culture, the royalists-militarists, and that old worthless fart Sithichai at MICT.
On a similar note, in today's Bangkok Post, there is an article on how Big Brother wants to monitor your physical activity on the streets of Bangkok. Perhaps this will be as effective as the traffic light system.

...capability of law-enforcement agencies to go after international criminals...
Normally, I would say dont announce a law you cannot impose. But I guess it would sound too oppressive if the law just state "within Thai boundary".
...ISPs who operate their businesses in good faith...
I wonder what is the definition of good faith. Say, if the government "notify" ISP that truethaksin.com (or wikipedia.com) is a threat. Would any ISP want to still risk allowing access? State sponsor self-censorship?
Now that the law is in effect, people will have to think twice about...forwarding e-mails containing information or pictures of other people...circulating URLs of websites...
I thought e-mails and URLs does not solicit into publicly spreading of information? If so, this kind of law would be on par with China. Must look into this.
But one thing is clear, this editorial writer does not know sh*t about law or computer (or may be he just playing dumb).

Pundit: We each make our choices - I would rather live with censorship than have open slather.
When open slather is taken to the extreme my comment about hate speech and pedophiles is not warped - unfortunately it's reality.
- July 18, 2007 at 3:16 PM
I just don't see how it is possible to "criminalize" cyberspace, unless one is a criminal. I despise paedophiles and those who prey on children thru the internet and these are cyberspace criminals of the most despicable breed that need to be pursued and stopped. If the new Thai cyberspace law can do that, then by all means godspeed.
But I disagree on using any cyberspace law, actually any law, that would limit, or restrict, or outrightly outlaw opposing political views (including criticisms of the Thai monarchy) on any subject under the sun.
It would be stupid of The Nation to embrace any law that would limit freedom of speech and the freedom to disagree.

FWIW I now seldom visit the blog. When I began looking in here there were a lot of good comments, bt it appears to have degraded into a Nation-bashing site. There is a lot to criticise about Thailand and the arrogant, racist and not-very-smart Thais Fonzi, how about providing more analysis of the stupidities that abound here? Who knows, people in the government who actually give a shit may be watching.
Both of them.

It's amazing that so many Thai people are willing to give up their rights so easily. All in the name of conformity. Porn on the internet..oh my. It seems that there is a "massage parlor" on every block in Thailand. You can buy porno dvds at the big department stores in Bangkok along with the rest of pirated software.And heaven forbid someone might disagree with the king or the prince,soon to be king. As the wise old man said long ago..people get the government they deserve.

For me, it's not all in the name of conformity, but rather it's about trying to avoid the extreme negative behaviors that some 'humans' are capable of.
"people get the government they deserve"
In the case of Thailand and most other countries I agree, but try telling that to the people of say Tibet, Burma or Zimbabwe.

..."massage parlor" on every block in Thailand.
That got me thinking. Does any blog or site that mention/contain photo of massage girl and parlor would also be chop? It could fall into porn or slander.
Oh yes, slander, there is no sex going on in those room. If there are prostitution, it would be (drum-roll)...illegal!

Nine people were killed and eighteen injured in two separate suicide attacks in Afghanistan on Monday, authorities said, days after a fresh round of international talks aimed at reviving dialogue with the Islamist group.
The militant group is stepping up attacks nationwide in the 15th year of its insurgency against the Western-backed government in Kabul.
The carnage began Monday morning when a suicide bomber threw himself against a bus carrying Afghan troops in the northern province of Balkh, killing three soldiers and wounding eight, the defence ministry said.
A spokesman for the provincial governor, Munir Ahmad Farhad, said the bomber ran towards the bus as it slowed down for a speed bump in Dehdadi, a district near the provincial capital Mazar-i-Sharif.
On Monday afternoon another suicide attacker blew himself up among a crowd of people queueing outside a bakery in Yahyakhail, a remote district in the volatile southeastern province of Paktika on the border with Pakistan. The attack killed six civilians and wounded 10.
"We don't know what the target of the attacker was but all the casualties are civilians," Yahyakhail district governor Musa Jan Kharoti told AFP.
The account was confirmed by the provincial deputy governor Attaullah Fazly.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack in Paktika. The Taliban, whose hardline regime was toppled by a US-led coalition in 2001, claimed responsibility for the attack on the army bus.
The group have stepped up their campaign against government and foreign targets in Afghanistan this winter, when fighting usually abates, underscoring a worsening security situation.
Afghan troops and police have suffered record casualties since NATO ended its combat mission in December 2014, leaving them to battle the resurgent Taliban largely on their own.
At least twenty Afghan policemen were killed on February 1 when a suicide bomber struck outside their base in the capital Kabul.
With neither side in the conflict seemingly able to accomplish a decisive victory, Kabul, regional powers and the United States have pinned their hopes on a peace settlement.
On Saturday representatives from Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and the US announced that direct talks between Kabul and the Taliban were expected to take place by the end of the month, indicating the insurgent group were willing to return to negotiations six months after an earlier round of dialogue fell apart.
Pakistan backed the Islamist group during their 1996-2001 rule and is accused of continuing to shelter its leaders in exile. Its role is seen as key in persuading the Taliban to return to talks.

How is the MOSCOW coat of arms relevant? It is the capital, but it isn't related to the nation's flag.
--- The Moscow coat of arms is that of St. George (Giorgi) and was adopted by the Muscovy before the Russian Empire was proclaimed. It subsequently became the symbol of the state even though the capital was no longer in Moscow. It has no relevance to the flag because it predates the flag of Peter I. Marky 14:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC) markrich
I need help with my project[edit]
why are the colors red, blue, and white? For example maybe blue is for the water because there is a big lake in russia and whatever I really need to know this because my project on russia is due tommorow.
Pan-Slavic colours.188.8.131.52 16:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
--- My understanding is that there isn't a reason for the colours. They never meant anything officially (unlike the Ukrainian flag [blue sky, golden wheat field], although many myths have been made to their purpose. The colours were chosen because many flags in Western Europe used red-white-blue as their colours and Peter I adopted those for Russia (subsequently adopted from there to other Slavic states). They weren't chosen only because of the Netherlands flag, although it would have had an influence. The meaning of the flag colours was popular after the dissolution of the USSR because everything was 'new'. Tradditional flags again became popular (although Lukachenko reversed this for his state and returned a variation of the Soviet Belorussia flag) after the 'independence' of the Soviet Republics due to nationalist groups keen on creating a identity continuous with pre-soviet history. Many of those, however, were never independent states prior to their creation by the USSR. Marky 14:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC) markrich
- I added a subsection about this, linking to a popular flag site with several theories being alleged. The real meaning of the colors, even if one existed at some point, is probably either completely lost in history, or requires expert research to uncover. Nevertheless, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the number of theories proposed for the subject, not the least because making a guess as to the origin of three colors doesn't require any special education, or anything at all for that matter save for imagination. IgorSF 07:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- When I did my research on the Russian flag back in 2001, I was pointed to a lot of theories. Two of the theories I have found came from a similar source, the Russian Consulate in San Francisco (website has a 404 error now.) Officially, now, there is no symbolism tied to the flag according to the Constitution. Even the members of the Russian Center of Vexillology and Hearldry state that there is no official symbolism tied to the colors. I do not have a personal meaning that I stick with, but if this article is expanded, I would suggest to include the majority existing ones, which we list on FOTW. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 10:31, 8 January 2007 (UTC) (Zachary Harden from FOTW)
- In fact, I also remember the same consular link, which now shows a 404 from an SF-based Russian TV company for some reason. Although the opinion of a Russian counsel is certainly not "official", it's nevertheless an interesting trivia info. Having interest in both flags and Russia of my own, I may indeed expand this article in the way you suggested. If that happens, using some of the flags stored on FOTW may prove useful, but according to my cursory check, they prohibit commercial use of images, thereby not allowing GFDL licencing. If you know otherwise, or perhaps a different way of using these flags, I'd appreciate knowing about it. Although I suppose it's not entirely too difficult to recreate most of the world's flags in a basic image editor. IgorSF 03:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- I do know SVG so I can pretty much do any of the flags you wish to use for this article. The Russian flag, in SVG, was done by me based on the Kremlin website and Russian Constitution. I did the Victory Banner and some other Russian flags, so I can do the others. Let me know what is needed. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 03:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Change to red flag[edit]
The article states that the tricolor was discarded by the Bolshevik's after the 1917 revolution. This is probably wrong and needs clarification. My understanding is that the Petrograd Soviet changed the flag to the red one (without additional symbols) after the February 1917 revolution and not the Bolsheviks in the October revolution. Marky 14:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC) markrich
- Petrograd Soviet was a representative body of Petrograd city workers, and altough it had great political influence it was a local institution. Russian Provisional Government continued to use tricolor as national flag.188.8.131.52 (talk) 06:40, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
External links / Exact colours?[edit]
The external links don't work as the website moved to http://www.rsnet.ru/
I couldn't find the appropriate pages there, maybe someone who understands the russian language better?
Are the exact colours specified? On Russian sleeping-cars painted in the national colours they are RAL 9016, RAL 5003 and RAL 3001 (though most of the roof is in RAL 7042 as white would look dirty too soon). But this may only be the interpretation of RZD or DWA Görlitz.

Pre-1858 flag[edit]
The Russian Empire didn't have a flag before 1858. The flag illustrated represents "colours" chosen for "celebrations and notable events" by several Russian monarchs, but these were not exclusively so, or used only as flags. The colours were also used in officer sashes and in cockades. However, the cockade was changed sometimes to black and white, notably by Alexander I. This caused confusion with edits in the flag used in the Battle of Borodino article which displayed the eagle because the eagle was the Imperial symbol (double eagle).
This Imperial symbol was displayed on the standards of every regiment, and the personal flags of all the generals, and indeed the Tsar. The double eagle on the tricolour flag was therefore the most appropriate symbol to use in the article in absence of another image.
For the record, the Russian Imperial Army followed a European convention of flags where the regiments were issued with a regimental and a "King's" (in this case Tsar's) standard, the later being "national". In Russia as elsewhere this was white, representing Peace (the ideal of an ideal monarch), emblazoned with the Imperial symbol, the double eagle.--mrg3105 (comms) If you're not taking any flak, you're not over the target. 03:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
USSR flag[edit]
Given that modern Russia is considered to be the successor state to the USSR, therefore sharing a continuous existence with it, shouldn't the Flag of the Soviet Union be here as well, even if was the flag for more than just Russia? --superioridad (discusión) 09:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- The layout of the article mentions the USSR flag, but it is all messed up. The USSR flag is mentioned in the variant section, which is quite odd. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 09:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
1668 flag?[edit]
I don't see any sources for the 1668 flag from the Russian frigate Oryol. We know the colors from the historical record, but what's the basis for the cross-like arrangement? --Amble (talk) 07:16, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Volkov Claims[edit]
The information about the date of "re-adopting" Russian three-colour state flag is not quite correct. On 22. August 1991 only parliamentary decision had been adopted to rise this flag over the building of parliament (White House). This was made under suggestion of deputy Leonid Volkov in order to demonstrate the democratic victory over antidemocratic putchists and continuity of Russian democratic tradition from Russian Revolution of February 1917. To establish this Banner as an permanent state flag it was necessary to change Russian Constitution, what at that moment had not been possible.I, Leonid Volkov, had been that deputy. The event is protocolled. It had been also transmitted by CNN television. — Dr. Leonid Volkov. mail : email@example.com
Doubt the post above[edit]
Some of that might be true, but I doubt "and continuity of Russian democratic tradition from Russian Revolution of February 1917", since Russia never had a democratic tradition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 10:20, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- In 1917 the Provisional Government attempeted to convert Russia into a democratic state, which was interrupted by the Bolsheviks rule. Re-adoption of the tricolor flag in 1991 symoblized continuation of the democratization policy which was started in February 1917. Hellerick (talk) 14:13, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Official colors[edit]
See commons:File talk:Flag of Russia.svg#Found_official_colors. Colors used Russian government in state purchases (zakupki.gov.ru) are Pantone 286 C (#0039a6) and Pantone 485 C (#d52b1e). --Sasha Krotov (talk) 21:09, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Colour of middle strip on current flag is fake[edit]
I wonder who came up with (obviously someone from the lower officials) that the middle strip should be dark blue? It's not the US flag. Historical black-and-white photographs show that the middle band is lighter the bottom - this can only happen if it is AZURE, not blue-purple as shown on "current" flag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearg (talk • contribs) 10:24, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- Please see the thread directly above. Also, observe the WP:NOR policy. Personal interpretations of the colours in a black-and-white photo is neither a reliable source, nor is it verifiable. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:20, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
I've seen some ww1 Wikipedia articles use the private 1914 flag with the bird on the top left while some others use the formal flag without it , which one should be there Consistency hobgoblin (talk) 05:57, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
- WIthout. "Private flag" was, at best, "co-national", additional flag and it did not repeal/replace plain WBR flag - and it is evident from Russian document about the flag, which explicitly contrasted "flag-symbol" (flag with the Imperial standard) with the Russian national flag (plain WBR). So, the plain white-blue-red flag remained main flag of Russia until the October Revolution. Bests, --Seryo93 (talk) 07:52, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
Readdition of the old flags?[edit]
I remember older versions of this article having the flags of the russian empire, so why can't the be re added back into this article? I know they are in a different article, but it would be FAR better if they were in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LockyHimself (talk • contribs) 12:25, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Politics is a fast paced, rapidly changing subject to study. Many students find the opportunity to investigate the historical and conceptual background to political events intellectually stimulating. For those who love the cut and thrust of debate and getting to grips with events as they unfold, this subject is for you. It will give you the opportunity to investigate the great political issues of the day and provide you with plenty of opportunity to inform and express your views on those events. It will certainly sharpen the analytical edge of your thoughts.
In the first year of the course you will study two units: 'UK Politics' – examining the interaction of people with the political system, and 'UK Government' – the structure and workings of the political system. In addition to these units students will also study a range of ideologies including conservatism, socialism, liberalism and feminism. In the second year students will choose to study a unit on either US Politics or Global Politics.
The Department enriches the classroom-based study with visits to Westminster and the Supreme Court along with residential trips to New York or Geneva. In addition, Politics entertains a number of visiting speakers at College.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Jover Laurio, a.k.a. Pinoy Ako Blog (PAB) has sent Usec Mocha Uson a formal request for accreditation with the Malacañang Press Corps.
Laurio, who was recently named "Filipino of the Year" by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, said that under the MPC and Malacañang guidelines, she is more than qualified to be accredited.
"Not only am I the 'Filipino of the Year,' but I also have more than 5,000 followers. Plus, I am attending law school," she said. "If Rappler's Pia Ranada can be accredited, why can't I?"
Uson has recommended favorable action on Laurio's request. The controversial blogger — known for her 'resibo' — will be assigned a seat between Uson and The Adobo Chronicles.

Matthew writes: "'The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles — the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.' From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand'" (4:15-17).
Early in His ministry, the word of Jesus quickly spread even beyond Israel. Multitudes followed Jesus, sitting at His feet, and He taught them doctrine unique to their ears, differing from the rabbis, scribes and wise men of Israel. He did not teach the Law of Moses. He did not clarify it. He imparted the teachings of the kingdom of heaven.
When Jesus sat down to teach the multitudes in Matthew 5-7, His oration left the people astonished. At the beginning of His discourse, He stated the following: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (5:7-8). Proclaiming how men could do well for themselves, Jesus spoke of mercy and purity. He opened the door to things not seen by men, a peek into how to ultimately dwell in the presence of God. Indeed, these two traits are living sermons seen in Jesus, the Word of God and the Christian.
The Mercy and Purity of Jesus
The apostle John writes these words of Jesus: "And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him" (8:29). The Christ declares that His actions stand as testament that the Father is always with Him. What a man Jesus was! He did not covet His position as Deity, but chose to come as a savior to this world of sin (Phil. 2:6). How the world needs Jesus!
Isaiah wrote, "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear" (59:2). Every person walking this earth from the beginning to end — except Jesus — commits sin (Rom. 3:23; 1 John 1:8). So when Jesus came to this earth, He found a people in need of spiritual mercy. They were unclean, unhealthy, impure, weighed down with the filth of sin and therefore separated from the God who created them. Jesus arrived as a great spiritual purifier for mankind, teaching how to return to God (Mark 2:17). Yet this is not why the multitudes of Matthew 5-7 followed Jesus. They were seeking the mercy of His miraculous healing. Jesus was not just spiritually merciful (Matt. 4:23-24). He showed compassion in healing all who came to Him (Matt. 9:35-36). His mercy also caused Him to feed the hungry who followed Him for days on end (Matt. 15:32-38). He cared about the physical well-being of others and for good reason. Jesus came to this earth, living in the flesh as a man. He subjected Himself to the intentional and unintentional consequences of the actions of mankind. He breathed the same air we do under the same sun. He experienced temptation and hardship just the same as mankind has since the beginning of time. He endured what the struggle of mankind feels like. Thus, Jesus shows mercy spiritually and physically for our plight (Heb. 2:17-18).
However, though merciful, Jesus also needed to be pure. Purity is demonstrated when an individual lives a life of serving God rather than the world. Jesus led a life free from the sins that whirled around Him in the lives of mankind. He rejected temptation (Matt. 4). He championed thinking on the good things of life. "He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in His mouth. When He was reviled, He did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten…" (1 Pet. 2:22-23). Peter describes the blood of Christ as that of a lamb without spot (1 Pet. 1:19). It was only in this way that He would fulfill the Law of Moses and be acceptable as a sacrifice for mankind. Though He was tempted as us, He did not sin (Heb. 4:15).
In showing mercy to us, Jesus obtained the mercy of the Father who raised Him up from the grave. By living a life of purity, Jesus "after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God" (Heb. 10:12). The life He presented to others in Matthew 5-7 turned out to be a living illustration on how things can go well for one's life.
The Mercy and Purity of the Word of God
The Word of God which Jesus taught was only that which the Father gave Him (John 12:49-50). Jesus shared a parable in Matthew 18:22-35 which told of a servant forgiven a huge sum by his master. Sadly, the servant goes away and refuses to show the same mercy to another owing a small debt. In fact, he causes the man to be thrown in prison over the sum. When the master hears of the actions of the unmerciful servant, the servant is delivered over to be punished. God's Word declares the same will be done by the Heavenly Father to those not showing mercy. The parable Jesus spoke in Matthew 18 is the other side of "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." The Word of God displays mercy by not only telling us how to do well, but how to avoid punishment (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
Note how the psalmist declares the purity of the way of God! He wrote:
"The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times" (Ps. 12:6).
"The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes" (Ps. 19:8).
Peter refers to the Word of God when he tells Christians to long for the "pure spiritual milk that by it you may grow up into salvation" (1 Pet. 2:2). As God Himself is pure, so goes His Word. God is light and in Him is no darkness (1 John 1:5). This is why purity at its simplest and most recognizable form is God. Many times in Scripture God declared this by declaring that He is holy. Now consider John 1:1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John declares Christ as that Word (1:14). We know God to be merciful and pure. We know Christ to be merciful and pure. The Word of God thus demonstrates the traits of mercy and purity as taught by Jesus on the Sermon on the Mount.
The Mercy and Purity of the Christian
As Jesus spoke to the multitudes, He offered teaching which established what a citizen of the kingdom of God looked like. The citizen of the kingdom of God replicates Jesus in mercy and purity (Eph. 5:25-27). The citizen of the kingdom of God also replicates the Word of God in mercy and purity because the Christian sees salvation through the implanted, merciful, and pure Word (James 1:21). Jesus commanded mankind to be merciful when He shared the parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk. 10). The apostle Paul preached to the Christians of Colossae telling them of mercy and the moral perfection which is purity (Col. 3:12-14). Christianity represents the light of God. In action, true Christianity shows faith in our unrealized hope, the coming of Christ and entrance into His kingdom. That such a belief mandates traits of mercy and purity becomes clear when Paul speaks of the selfishness and immorality which will keep us out of the kingdom of heaven (1 Cor. 6:9-10).
While speaking to His disciples as they were concerned about rank in the kingdom of heaven, Jesus stated, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 18:3). A young child yet unstained by the world wants to please. He or she will share their cookies and toys and freely give their love. They want to do anything they can do to help when someone hurts. Children demonstrate mercy and purity every day, just like Christ. These traits need to become ours. The Father longs for this. Christ lived it. The apostles taught it. The world can read this in the Word of God which was given for their guidance and perfection.
Jesus, the great Healer of mankind, looked out at the multitudes which constantly surrounded Him and shared the words of the Father which provide eternal life. He did so knowing they were all condemned to die in sin. He did so knowing they would eventually beat Him, spit on Him, reject Him and crucify Him. His greatest act of mercy and purity took place upon that cross as the pure sacrificial lamb of God. Showing mercy, He pleaded, "Father, forgive them…" (Lk. 23:34).

Time and Energy
Time and Energy was listed as the sixth item of the Top Ten list of things I learned by giving 100 free sessions.
When I first announced this promotion, I had no idea how much support I would get in finding 100 people. It all began when I had seen someone else post exactly what I had been thinking of doing, giving 100 free sessions to kick-start my business. So when I saw it, I got a little mad at myself and said, "I'm not waiting anymore!" I jumped right in and posted my intentions in one of my networking Facebook pages. This very action got me out of my scare-d-y pants thinking and propelled me into a new place of getting it done! I didn't think about perfecting my promotional material, who, what or where. Nope I didn't wait. I just did it. I found opportunities to talk about it at events, with strangers and friends. When I braved those uncomfortable moments, more people offered to help. I got an article published in The Hague On Line, an online publication for expats living in The Hague. Also a few people shared my goal around Facebook which generated a lot of leads. For a new coach this feeling was electric and palpable. I never wanted this feeling to end! (cue "Time of my Life" song from Dirty Dancing).
I quickly realized I needed to get my administration in order. That took some time as I had to figure out how to design it via my website. This is known as "creating your conversion funnel". Those first few appointments I fumbled a bit. Fortunately, no one seemed to notice but me. I felt great about being busy but I also was starting to feel tired. I had a lot to learn and I didn't know how I could do it all. By creating my funnel, I also had to establish a "firm" appointment schedule. Pffft! But because of lack of planning, I had to be flexible if I wanted to reach this lofty goal of 100 free sessions! And by that I also had to be prepared to go anywhere. I traveled everywhere to meet people. Why, oh, why did I do this to myself?!
I was excited and just did it! Something that comes natural to me. But if I could offer any advice, should you go for it and do 100 sessions, start here:
- Sit down and look at your calendar
- Plot out what amount of time you are able to do every week towards your goal.
- Give yourself enough time to reach 100, so you don't feel desperate and do impossible things with your time and energy. 🙂 For example: Your goal, 100 sessions = 100 hours. Each week you can devout, 10 hours for sessions. That means it will take 10 weeks, or 2 1/2 months.
- Set boundaries. Make sure to say you are only doing face to face sessions at these set times or don't offer them at all. You choose. By the way, over Skype and phone is just as powerful as any face-to-face sessions I have conducted. Let them know that! And then bring it to them when you have the session.
- REST. Do what it takes to give yourself a break. You are helping a lot of people FOR FREE. It will be exhausting. I advise meditation. Not your gig? Go for a walk or take a nap. Remember you are changing lives and that is a GREAT thing to be doing.
- Lastly, really think about the reasons why you wish to do a 100 free session promotion. It's great feat. I realized later that maybe it was giving too much away and tarnishing the coaching profession. I talk about here and referenced an article over why you shouldn't do this. See that article at the bottom of that post.

The guidelines Facebook uses to decide what users see are 'confusing' say staff
How Facebook censors what its users see has been revealed by internal documents, the Guardian newspaper says.
It said the manuals revealed the criteria used to judge if posts were too violent, sexual, racist, hateful or supported terrorism.
The Guardian said Facebook's moderators were "overwhelmed" and had only seconds to decide if posts should stay.
The leak comes soon after British MPs said social media giants were "failing" to tackle toxic content.
- Social media giants 'failing' over hate
- Facebook AI 'will identify terrorists'
- Social media faces huge hate speech fines
Careful policing
The newspaper said it had managed to get hold of more than 100 manuals used internally at Facebook to educate moderators about what could, and could not, be posted on the site.
The social network has acknowledged that the documents seen by the newspaper were similar to what it used internally.
The manuals cover a vast array of sensitive subjects, including hate speech, revenge porn, self-harm, suicide, cannibalism and threats of violence.
Facebook moderators interviewed by the newspaper said the policies Facebook used to judge content were "inconsistent" and "peculiar".
The decision-making process for judging whether content about sexual topics should stay or go were among the most "confusing", they said.
The Open Rights Group, which campaigns on digital rights issues, said the report started to show how much influence Facebook could wield over its two billion users.

Families in Poland are anxiously waiting to receive their first 500zl (€114) monthly benefit for each second and subsequent child. This was one of the most talked-about election promises announced by the ruling Law and Justice party ahead of its general election victory last October.
As reported by the Financial Times, however, the new child benefit was devised and pushed by the party's political thinkers, and not its financial experts. Now, the cost of the handout has raised concern in the finance ministry.
