How the British Stopped Hitler's Removal in 1938
In August 1938, the German General Staff informed the British that they were ready to oust Hitler. All the British had to do was resist Hitl...
"Overall, no man has done more harm to the present and future of the white race than Adolf Hitler." — Geoff Ferguson
"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." — FDR
"A panel of psychiatrists was even prepared, under the chairmanship of the eminent professor Dr. Karl Bonhoeffer, who would certify the Fuhrer as insane, so that he could be immured in a lunatic asylum... 'By the beginning of September,' [Chief of Staff, Gen. Franz] Halder would write, 'we had taken steps to immunize Germany from this madman.'" (156)
Admiral Wilhelm Canaris. Is this hand gesture the explanation of German generals' docility?
In May 1938, when Hitler announced his intention to invade Czechoslovakia, the German General Staff feared a world war that would destroy Germany. They decided to place Hitler in a mental asylum.
All they needed was confirmation from England that it would assist Czechoslovakia. The British dithered. Instead of taking a stand, they sabotaged Germany's resistance to the Nazi plague.
Ludwig Beck, the Chief of the German General Staff observed:
"Through yielding to Hitler, the British government will lose its two main allies, the General Staff and the German people."
The simplest and best opportunity to avoid calamity was lost. The Illuminati wanted world war to increase their power and wealth, and to destroy Germany in advance of their satanist World Government. The Illuminati were not going to allow their creation, Adolf Hitler, to be overthrown.
"You must understand that this war is not against Hitler or National Socialism," Churchill is quoted as saying, "but against the strength of the German people, which is to be smashed once and for all, regardless whether it is in the hands of Hitler or a Jesuit priest." (Emrys Hughes, Winston Churchill, His Career in War and Peace p. 145)
The Coup
Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, Chief of the Abwehr (Military Intelligence) was part of the conspiracy to overthrow Hitler which is described in Richard Bassett's Hitler's Spy Chief: The Wilhelm Canaris Betrayal (2012). pp.150-160.
Canaris and General Beck sent Ewald Von Kleist to London August 21 where he met Sir Robert Vansittart, the chief diplomatic adviser to the cabinet. Kleist told him that Germany planned to invade Czechoslovakia Sept. 30, 1938.
If England drew a line in the sand, the generals had plans to make an end of the Nazi regime. These plans were well advanced. But all Kleist could secure was a general statement from Winston Churchill, who was not yet in the cabinet.
Nevertheless, the plan proceeded. Richard Bassett writes:
"Several generals commanding troops were prepared to enter the conspiracy. By 14 Sept. General Von Witzleben, commander of the Berlin area, had made arrangements with Gen. Franz Halder (New Chief of Staff) and others to arrest Hitler as he returned from Berchtesgaden to the capital.
"Count Helldorf, the Berlin Police Chief, would arrest the other party leaders while General Hoeppner, in command of the Third Panzer Division, would march on Berlin at the signal from Witzleben.
"Count Brockdorff-Ahlefeld, in command of the Potsdam garrison, would support Witzleben while Count Fritz von der Schulenburg, son of the German Crown Prince's former chief of staff, would secure the government sector of Berlin...." (156)
Left, In Munich, Chamberlain greenlights Nazi aggression
However, the entire conspiracy was predicated on England stating it would intervene in the event of a German attack on Czechoslovakia. But instead of taking a stand, Chamberlain announced Sept. 14 he would fly to Berchtesgaden to treat with Hitler. The optics suggested capitulation. In those days, statesmen did not fly to meet each other. Chamberlain had never flown before.
Bassett: "Both Chamberlain's message to Hitler, noting 'I shall be ready to travel as of tomorrow morning' and Hitler's immediate acceptance, imply a mutual understanding that the stakes on a personal plane were high."
When Canaris heard the news at dinner, he lost his appetite. "What! He...visit that man?" Canaris exclaimed. Many prominent Germans were horrified. The coup was postponed indefinitely. How could they overthrow Hitler when he was effortlessly getting his way?
Chamberlain's decision to visit Hitler spared Hitler and his gang from immediate arrest. Publisher David Astor wrote that the failure to act on the Kleist mission was "the saddest missed opportunity of the whole hellish experience leading up to World War Two." (Balliol Record, 1982)
Richard Bassett writes:
"Canaris ... had opened his hand to the British and they had ... betrayed ... his entire stratagem. ... It is not improbable that in arranging Chamberlain's visit so rapidly and secretly [British ambassador to Berlin Neville] Henderson, left had obliquely impressed on the Fuhrer his knowledge of Hitler's vulnerability and the need to act swiftly... Did forces in Britain in a subtle way want a war with Germany? Did they fear a restoration of the monarchy and the generals who would prove no less menacing to the balance of power?" (162)
Canaris is often described as a "wily old fox" but apparently, he didn't have the big picture. The Illuminati Jewish banking power based in London wanted a world conflagration. Hitler was their arm's-length agent.
Regardless of what the British did, why didn't Canaris and the generals act independently? Why didn't they simply overthrow Hitler? That would have defused world tensions and saved 60 million lives. Canaris and the generals may have been tied to the Illuminati themselves.
They may have been Freemasons and looked to London for leadership. Apparently, there was a branch of German Freemasonry that was not shut down by Hitler. These people may have been betrayed by their fellow Masons in England.
Canaris had ties with Illuminati bankers and arms merchants like Basil Zaharoff. On one level, the Abwehr served the Nazi cause admirably. But on another level, Canaris worked hard to ensure an Allied victory. He supplied advanced warnings of every Nazi attack.
He censored intelligence reports both of Allied weaknesses, and strengths like compromised communications and agents (ULTRA and Double Cross System.) He schooled Spain's Franco and Romania's Sturdza on how to remain neutral.
Hitler was undoubtedly aware that Canaris was a traitor but Hitler was a traitor himself. When SD Chief Reinhard Heydrich was about to arrest Canaris, the British had him assassinated. Heydrich was the only high-level Nazi official ever assassinated. Czech agents injured him, and according to Heydrich's wife, Hitler's doctors finished him off.
Freemasonry may control the world's intelligence services. But these services, and Freemasonry in general, function on a need-to-know basis. Their members don't know Hitler served the British cause. Thus, Wilhelm Canaris, who was hung by the Gestapo in 1945, and other well-meaning Germans were sacrificed.
Mankind is in the baneful grasp of the Illuminati central bankers. The Second World War is usually depicted as a struggle to save "civilization" from Nazi barbarism.
In fact, the war had a satanist end in itself, a horrifying degradation of humanity designed to advance a tyranny more subtle than the Nazis, but not totally different.
"Canaris and the generals may have been tied to the Illuminati themselves...Apparently, there was a branch of German Freemasonry that was not shut down by Hitler. These people may have been betrayed by their fellow Masons in England."
It's documented that Canaris sent MI6 his notes from a general staff briefing with Hitler before the invasion of Poland in 1939. He was a mole already as early as 1938. He even secretly met with his British intelligence contact during official trips to neutral Spain. Once, a visit to a convent was the cover. Inside he was debriefed by the chief of MI6 in Spain.
How could such a high profile figure in the Wehrmacht establishment carry on like that, literally face to face with Heydrich and Himmler without discovery?
Perhaps his confidence came from connection with an even more entrenched and formidable pre-existing intelligence network. High Masonry, that of nobility and the elite - not the visible lodges of the proles that Hitler broke up in 1934.
As for how he got away with it so long, Himmler knew Canaris was a double agent for a long time, but he kept him alive in order to use him as a liaison in Himmler's secret surrender negotiations with MI6/OSS. It's of interest to note that Himmler also had secret back channels to British intelligence. [5]
I noticed the hand sign Canaris posed in his portrait photograph. It sure resembles the Masonic sign of 'sacrifice'.
In 1779, Benjamin Franklin was elected Worshipful Master
of the Lodge of the Nine Sisters in Paris, and in 1782
he became head of a lodge of the Grand Orient de Paris.
This painting hangs in the Green Room of the White House.
"A number of dictionaries of symbols state that the hand placed on the neck signifies sacrifice. Now sacrifice can have at least two meanings — one, the continuing threat of the penalties to be applied to punish those adepts and initiates who so impertinently reveal the secrets of the Order; and two, the willingness of the individual performing the sign to sacrifice himself for the good of the Order, or for the good of the cause or Great Work of the Illuminati."
Canaris was connected to another intelligence organization: the Chabad Lubavitcher organization... "One notable person he is said to have assisted was the then Lubavitcher Rebbe in Warsaw, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn." [1]
In 2009, the Lubavitchers promoted recognition of Canaris as a 'Righteous Gentile' by the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial. [2]
Yad Vashem rejected of the request, stating: first, that Canaris did not risk his life to save Jews; second that Canaris was chief of a Nazi intelligence organization that helped condemn civilians to SS and Gestapo executioners. Dr. Ephraim Zuroff, director of the Wiesenthal Center in Israel called Chabad's request "problematic." [3]
Yosef Kaminetzky's reply sums up Chabad's sentiment, "He saved the Rebbe, why shouldn't he be recognized as a righteous gentile?"
Here I have to mention that soon as Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn arrived in New York in 1940, he solicited large sums of money from American Jews supposedly to help fund efforts to save Jews from Europe.
Instead, he spent it to set up his new Yeshiva and Lubivicher headquarters in Brooklyn. He didn't lift a finger to save the Yeshiva students he abandoned in Warsaw. Neither did Admiral Canaris.
I don't want to digress, I'm just adding for detail that when the Rebbe's elder cousin Levi Yitzchak Schneersohn's papers were captured by the Stalinist NKVD in Ukraine in 1939, extensive correspondence with none other than Leon Trotsky was found.
"The rabbi led an underground community of "exiles, deportees, convicts, and refugees" and died in Almaty in 1944." [4] I mention only to point up that Trotsky by his own admission in his autobiography "MY LIFE" was a high ranking Mason along with Lenin.
In conclusion, I think "the case is open". The full story of Canaris' willingness to sacrifice himself remains an open question.

In another of our regular board game spotlights, Zatu peruses the CD rack for the music that adequately captures the cavernous hole in its soul, but where teen-centric angst-synth should be there's only Ticket to Ride, the 2004 release from publisher Days of Wonder and Designer Alan R. Moon.
The Game
Ticket to Ride has players competing to take control of the railways of North America, which is actually considered illegal. To do so, they collect cards and train cars, hoping to claim longer routes than their opponents and fulfil Destination tickets.
Players have limited actions each turn. They may draw more cards; take additional destination tickets; or claim a coveted route. Destination cards act as goals, tasking players with connecting certain cities or constructing routes that exceed a certain length.
Ticket to Ride, in its infinite popularity, has become known as the cannabis of tabletops, the ultimate gateway game. This is down to the simplicity of its rules alongside the risk-reward tension that, as designer Alan R. Moon himself says, stems 'from being forced to balance freed – adding more cards to your hand, and fear – losing a critical route to a competitor.
Since winning the coveted Spiel des Jahres in 2004, Ticket to Ride has sprogged numerous sequels allowing players to locomotively dominate in a more global sense.
The Publisher
Days of Wonder takes its name from the childhood fascination many feel when they first play games. In 2004 it became the youngest publisher ever to win the Spiel des Jahres, just 2 years after it was founded.
They distribute across 25 countries and their popular titles include Quadropolis, The Battlelore series and, of course, Ticket to Ride.
The Designer
Alan R. Moon is an English board game designer who grew up in the USA. He has been designing games for over three decades. Two of his designs have won the Spiel des Jahres: 1998's Elfenland and 2004's Ticket to Ride.
Since the year 2000 Alan has been a full-time freelance game designer and now has a huge catalogue of board games to his name. The first game that he published was Black Spy, which was released all the way back in 1981.

We also have a range of Ticket To Ride expansions available, including Europe and the latest addition to the family - Rails & Sails!

The Department of Defense issued five contracts worth $320.9 million in aggregate Friday. The bulk of the monies awarded went to General Dynamics, to pay for construction work on the third (and possibly final) Zumwalt-class destroyer, the USS Lyndon B. Johnson. But there were a few other contracts worth noting. For instance:
- General Electric (NYSE:GE) won a $24.5 million contract "modification," extending the length of its contract to provide support for unspecified GE aircraft engine lines by eight-and-a-half months, through March 31, 2014.
- Samsung Electronics (OTC:SSNLF) subsidiary NeuroLogica Corp was awarded $12 million to exercise the third of seven one-year "options" on an underlying contract to supply the Defense Logistics Agency with radiology systems, subsystems, and components. This contract will now run through (at least) August 4, 2014).
- Finally -- and most curiously -- the U.S. Air Force has contracted with the Royal Jordanian Air Academy in Amman, Jordan, to provide English language and technical training to Iraqi Air Force students. Training will run through August 8, 2014, and the Jordanians will be paid $27.4 million for their services.

New Dragon Age 3: Inquisition Screens from gamescom
Not content with the trailer we just shared of BioWare's Dragon Age: Inquisition? How about a nice set of static screens to accompany your moving pictures? Turn your eyes upward and take a look!
These screens showcase the Fallow Mire. According to this preview from Game Informer, the Fallow Mire is a dark bog that exists as an optional area filled to bursting with side quests. You can seek to rescue an abducted Inquisitor patrol, recruit an Avvar warrior named Sky Watcher into your team, or even collect geological survey samples. Though BioWare claims that the Fallow Mire is one of the game's smaller areas, it can still drain a huge chunk of time thanks to all its content.
Prepare for Dragon Age: Inquisition when it arrives on Windows, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 this November 18.

Searching the web for a dating or personals site can leave one extremely baffled. There are numerous dating websites detailed on the web. My search of the word "dating" on Google resulted in 56,200,000 outcomes! Speak about a hard decision.
Allow me offer you some guidelines as well as advice.
Presently, I am a Web designer of a couple of dating sites in addition to dating referral sites. I have actually seen all the designs of individual sites. They all adhere to virtually the exact same style with a few variations. Sure, there are some fantastic totally free dating websites, in addition to some awful ones. The exact same holds true for pay dating sites. Now, as a Webmaster, let me guarantee you of one thing, all us web designers are advertising dating websites for one thing … money.
Now, do not obtain me incorrect, however I can install a millionaire dating website, as well as allow members to join my dating website totally free. I would just upload some ads or banners, and also offer to offer something, which could be of passion. After that, with any luck, I would certainly generate enough earnings off these sales to sustain the site. Kind of a website traffic generator.
My guidance is this … If your seeking to join a dating or personals site, before you even begin looking, ask on your own, what am I trying to find. Narrow the search down rather. Are you seeking a lesbian site, just how concerning an armed forces dating website? Maybe a "dog-lovers" dating website. Believe me, there full blast there. Currently, let the search start. Attempt Google, Yahoo or whatever you favor. My recommendation is that you search for personal sites that offer what I call a semi-free membership. A semi-free membership is where you are permitted to publish your profile. (This is where you outline on your own and also publish some photos) On this kind of dating website, you are not allowed to call other participants, It's kind of like fishing, you produced the lure and see if anything bites. This type of millionaire dating website like www.datingsitesformillionaires.com can function well if you're not in a rush. Now, the wait is on …
Keep in mind though; beware of a few of the replies you get. A lot of will be good suits of what you are looking for however. Beware of the quickly to be admirer who needs you to send money so that he might come see you however, this happens occasionally, however not often. I'll say it as soon as, don't send out any individual cash! Do not enter a panic as well as believe everybody's a scammer, the majority of are not. Currently, if your not ready to await replies, you will certainly require to compensate to send out messages to other customers on this sort of website. Remember this also however, if you desire a shy girl (personally I like them), there not as quick to send me a message if they see my advertisement. Bear in mind, they could be reluctant or feel that they are not what your searching for. So, signing up with may be an excellent idea.
I would love to supply some quick guidelines on what to do before also registering for a free dating membership though. Do a Whois search on the millionaire dating website you are considering joining. To do a whois just do a Yahoo search on "whois" and adhere to the directions. If you key in my domain you can learn for certain, that I am. Certain, I might exist when I established the domain, yet my contact number there also, just call me. See just how most web designers have nothing to conceal while some do. Some whois search engine result will certainly have "concealed" info. Do you really want to join this sort of millionaire dating website?
One more tip, if the site tons gradually, has popups or spam, beware. Bear in mind the regulation above? All us web designers remain in it for the cash. If you join this sort of millionaire dating website, get your spam blockers as well as virus protectors tuned up.
See, if I can provide you popups, there are people who will pay me simply to reveal you popups. They'll pay a lot more for your e-mail address … Currently, see why this is necessary. Simply be cautious and have a good time, there's a great deal of premium quality dating websites around. The majority of are trusted, yet however, there are a few bad ones.

I have a passion for helping others connect to God through creativity.
Creativity provides a way to sneak past the barriers our souls put up…like a secret backdoor entrance to our souls. Practicing art and creativity can cultivate intimacy in our relationship with Jesus. And it's just so fun!
Retreats – Whether the format is a morning retreat or a weekend getaway, setting aside time to pull away with Jesus can be rich and refreshing. I believe in the power of creating experiential moments as we are learning. This combination of studying a Bible passage + a creative experience can help us move knowledge from our heads to our hearts.
Creative Moments of Grace – Ideas from my book offer a launching place for teaching, sharing a devotional, or setting up a time of solitude. These concepts can create a path for a thoughtful encounter with God.
Here are a few teaching/speaking themes I love:
· Creativity + Faith
· Jesus and women in the Gospels
· Learning about God through creation

Jonny Go Figure
As a reggae guy it's very important to have 7s because, especially when you play big tunes at a reggae dance, 9 out of 10 times someone is going to ask you to play it back, to pull it up.
"'I'm sorry I didn't pretty this up for you guys,' Jonny Go Figure says, walking into the center of his Flatbush, Brooklyn living room which is littered with records. 'I know it looks like a clusterfuck in here, but this is just how it is. And I know where everything is.' Jonny closes his eyes and thinks of a record he hasn't played in a while before digging into a stack and pulling out reggae breakbeat LP by Paul Nice and DJ Wisdom called Beef Patty Breaks. He explains the history of the album cover, which features an iconic image of model Sintra Arunte-Bronte in a wet, red Jamaica t-shirt. Jonny can pick random hidden records from his collection and throw facts at you all day, but never in a condescending way. He began DJing at age 4 after his father, who was also a DJ, gave him vinyl to play with. He easily rattles off history, producers and connections behind the music in the same way others might talk about their favorite sci-fi worlds. Now in his 30s, Jonny Go Figure's deep appreciation for the underground, producers, one hit wonders, underdogs and canonical knowledge of reggae has put him in deep with New York's varied reggae community. ..."

Director: Jimmy Chin, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi
Starring: Alex Honnold, Jimmy Chin, Tommy Caldwell
Release Date: September 28th 2018
I assume more than 80 percent of the population hasn't heard of Alex Honnold. That isn't the case when about other all-time great athletes like from Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Charles Barkley. Even non-fans have heard of Tom Brady or Emmitt Smith. The same can't be said about rock-climbing, let alone free-solo rock climbing. Insert Alex Honnold, free-solo rock climber. Free-solo rock climbing is exactly what it sounds like: climbing with nothing — not a rope, not a harness, nothing that would help the climber.
Free Solo is a National Geographic original film that follows the life and training of Honnold as he prepares to climb El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. El Capitan stands about 3,000 feet from its base to the top and has never been conquered by a free solo climber. Honnold lives in a converted van with the bed in the back and a oven and stove in the back seat. We don't know why Honnold lives in the van, but when someone climbs mountains for fun it doesn't seem too far off. Most of the time we are following the battle Alex is facing with being great. Honnold's ambition to be great taints his relationship with his girlfriend Sanni. Though Sanni accepts the risks of dating a solo rock climber, we can still see that she isn't totally comfortable with what Alex does.
Free Solo is more or less a character study. Honnold, a California native, has been rock climbing since he was a boy. He didn't tell anyone when he began soloing. To be a free-solo climber Hollond believes that the less expectations the better. During Free Solo we see Alex bail on a few attempts, mainly because he is being recording. It's clear that soloing is something that needs to be done alone, in your own headspace and in your own way. The slightest mistake will send you thousands of feet to your death. So it's hard to fault Alex for bailing the first time the camera was on him.
Free Solo has been nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film, along with Hale County This Morning, This Evening, Minding the Gap, Of Fathers and Sons and RBG. While my heart stuck more with Hulu's Minding The Gap, Free Solo is still something that worth checking out.
Free Solo isn't playing in many theaters because of its September release date.

In the meantime, check out the interview of the week with: Enrique Alonso Zúñiga, Sacyr Ingeniería e Infraestructuras México.
Here is your news roundup!
Mexican Market Goes Through a Rough Patch
Calm before the storm? Check out with the construction industry can expect for 2019
It was a tough week for Mexico as Citibanamex reduced the country's growth forecast from 1.9 percent to 1.7 percent for 2019
Banks in Mexico are having a hard time recovering from the nervousness in the market, especially after the news about NAIM. BMV has also been affected by the market's behavior.
On a more upbeat note, BBVA has become the first bank to complete a syndicated loan on blockchain.
According to Alfredo Jalife-Rahme, AMLO believes that infrastructure is a motor for the Mexican economy.

Mexico's Social Infrastructure Gap
CANADEVI states the Mexican housing market's greatest challenge is in the social housing sector. There has been a decrease of 5-6 percent in the construction of social housing in the last few years for a number of reasons, particularly the increase in land prices.

Help understand the trends and patterns of bird window collisions on the UW-Madison campus
The fall 2019 survey will run sept. 16-Nov. 1.
about bird collision corps
When you look at a tall, glass-fronted building, what do you see? If you put on a "bird-lens", you would quite likely see more open sky to fly through, more habitat to tuck into, or more moonlight to guide you on your journey. The result is thousands of birds crashing into windows, which is the second highest human-caused death of birds after free-ranging cats.
Thankfully, we do know a little bit about the problem. Tall buildings with lots of reflective glass are a big problem. So are buildings with lights on during the night when birds are migrating. But there is still much to learn. For example, the role of vegetation and the angle and design of glass-fronted facades are still largely unknown.
The Bird Collision Corps is a Madison, WI-based citizen science project in its second year that works with volunteers who help study what leads to bird deaths caused by window strikes. To do so, the Bird Collision Corps is working with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dane County's Wildlife Center, and American Bird Conservancy to document bird strikes at campus buildings during spring and fall migration.
How does the program work?
Your help is needed! Program partners have identified 13 high-priority buildings on the UW-Madison campus to monitor for bird strikes. These buildings were monitored during the spring and fall 2018 surveys, and some found significant bird mortality. We will continue to collect data on this important issue and build a solid case for change to make the UW-Madison campus friendlier for birds and share our results with the broader community.
TIME FRAME: Volunteers sign up to monitor a sector of campus that includes at least two of these buildings between Sept. 16 and Nov. 1. You can sign up for at least two shifts per week, and we ask you to commit to surveying your sector on those days every week (give or take!) until the survey period ends.
WEEKLY COMMITMENT: We ask that volunteers sign up for a minimum of two shifts per week. Surveying your sector will likely take between 45-90 minutes per survey, and you can choose to do your survey between dawn-8:00 a.m. or 9:00-11:00 a.m. You may survey your buildings individually, or form a team of 2-3 individuals who will split up your weeks or survey duties.
TRAINING: Volunteers will receive training and resources for completing the surveys and handling injured or killed birds. No expertise in bird ID or handling is required! We will offer in person trainings (Sept. 13 at 12pm or Sept. 15 at 2pm). Online training will be available, but is not encouraged (in person training is much more valuable!).
PROCESS: Bird Collision Corps participants will look for birds on the ground and in the vegetation around their assigned buildings that have been killed or stunned by impact with the building. Recording detailed documentation on these events is very important - where the bird was found, day, time, weather, and other information using the iNaturalist smartphone app. Each survey should take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours (total weekly commitment: 2 to 3 hours). Participants will deliver deceased birds to program organizers, and will receive training on dealing with stunned or injured birds.
Data collected through this program will be analyzed and shared with the UW-Madison facilities community, researchers, and the general public in an effort to make the campus a more bird-friendly place and advance our broader knowledge of causes and solutions to the window strike problem.
Notes and participant requirements:
No experience is necessary! We will host training sessions to teach participants about the program's goals, surveying techniques, how to document observations, and how to handle birds found during surveys.
Volunteers will use the iNaturalist app on a smartphone to enter data. Part of the training involves how to use the app.
Participants should have their own transportation to campus. Parking is limited and can be tricky on campus. However, bus routes and bike accessibility are plentiful!
Each campus sector will ideally have coverage 7-days-per-week through the combination of volunteers monitoring those buildings.
Volunteers should be able to commit to surveying their assigned sector on the days/times you registered for every week between Sept. 16 and Nov. 1. We ask volunteers to sign up for TWO shifts each week. If you cannot survey, no problem! Subs are available.

Mark your calendars for Castle Hill's Community Bash at Edgewood Farm!
With Steve Morgan and the Kingfish!
It will be an evening of fun and dancing with music and delicious food and drinks! What better way to spend a beautiful July night than mingling with Castle Hill staff and board as well as our community of artists and art lovers at the beautiful Edgewood Farm.
Honoring Jane Bunker & Mason Morfit and The Truro Community Preservation Act Committee
Music by Steve Morgan and the Kingfish, Oysters by Slurp Up
Castle Hill Annual (FREE) Community Summer Bash at
Edgewood Farm on July 20
Truro, MA – The Truro Center for the Arts invites the entire community to celebrate summer at this year's annual Castle Hill Bash, scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 20 at Edgewood Farm, 3 Edgewood Way, Truro from 6:00 – 9:00 pm. FREE! We will be honoring Jane Bunker & Mason Morfit, as well as the Truro Community Preservation Committee (CPC). During each of our Summer Parties, we feel it's important to thank people in the Community that make a difference to us at Castle Hill and also to the broader Community. Jane Bunker and Mason Morfit have been great supporters to Castle Hill through not only a John P Bunker lecture Series in honor of their father, but a new deal is happening this fall, where Castle Hill will be taking over & stewarding the Bunker Cottage on Corn Hill Beach in partnership with the Truro Conservation Trust. This very special Cottage / Boat house, which use to be part of the Truro railroad. Castle Hill will manage and offer housing to artists working at Castle Hill, as well as an artist residency program which we began a few years ago with the purchase of Edgewood Farm.
The other honored guests will be Deborah McCutcheon & Mary Rose, the chairs of the Community Preservation Act Funds who have supported Castle Hill in the renovation of the 3 historic Buildings at Edgewood Farm! Without the continued support we wouldn't have been able to all the work we did on the buildings. We have protected the property and the buildings so they can never be demolished, through a Historical Deed Restriction with the State.
"We are so excited about the Bunker Cottage to protect that piece of land from every being built upon and to keep that historical landmark alive", said Cherie Mittenthal, the Executive Artistic Director, she also mentioned that the "Truro Community Preservation Fund have been amazing in recommending funding for us for many years! These dollars helped us leverage additional funds and we are so excited to showcase all the work we have done at Edgewood Farm!"
A free community celebration, this year's Bash features dancing to live music from blues group Steve Morgan and the Kingfish and delicious food and drinks including raw oysters from Slurp Up. Attendees will spend a quintessential Cape Cod July night mingling with Castle Hill's community of artists as well as staff, board and art lovers at the beautiful Edgewood Farm, the home of Castle Hill's Artist Residency Program adjacent to the Cape Cod National Seashore and town conservation land.
The Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill has served a single purpose for 48 years: to create an inclusive and supportive arts community by providing a wide range of artistic experiences to students at all levels of ability. Energized by a faculty of distinguished artists and writers and enlivened by a welcoming and engaging community, Castle Hill offers workshops, lectures, exhibitions, performances, special events and artist residencies. Located in an exquisitely beautiful rural setting, Castle Hill provides unique and inspiring learning experiences to all who come here.
"The Bash is one of our most popular summer events," says Cherie Mittenthal, Castle Hill's Executive Artistic Director. "It's a perfect opportunity to have fun, relax, and enjoy the best that summer on the Cape has to offer."
Please let us know if you plan on coming (and if you are bringing guests).
This will help us in all of our planning.
Thank you!

Christmas Sneakers Purchases
The "Evergreen" Low Prices
Comparing to the other sales and discount seasons or periods, Christmas is probably most constant in its low prices on a wide range of quality brand products, especially, clothing and footwear. In this period it is possible to find cheap Nike sneakers, Reebok shoes, or Puma sneakers easier than ever.
Stores start to blossom in this time of year. Millions of new and old customers visit stores in their local areas to find the best and the cheapest.
If you know prices of such brands like Puma, Nike, and Reebok, you understand that it's almost impossible to find quality and in-good-condition sneakers for really low prices. You either won't, or you will find something in a very bad condition.
Christmas, in the eyes of an average customer, is all about gifts – guess we won't start the spiritual discussion about baby Jesus, who was born in barn to carry the sin of the whole world – and people don't want to get old things, even when they're truly nice, they want new things, in perfect condition. If you're looking for a pair of nice Nike sneakers, this is a #1 opportunity for you to save on the purchase and obtain a quality perfect condition product.
Since Christmas brings all the manufacturers and businessmen to thought of new discounts and sales, you should know that online stores think just the same: lower prices — more customers, more customers – more profit. In other words, you should really think about buying stuff at the Internet stores. As you might already know, Internet stores initially practice lower prices, in comparison to the usual stores, because they don't have to pay rent for their sales place, and they also avoid paying numerous fees and taxes. You should think of this as if you didn't have to overpay for your products just because they need to cover their rent and taxes. Therefore, Internet business is not only beneficial for those who do it, but it is also extremely advantageous for those who use its services. You can only imagine about low prices they offer on holidays, and especially on Christmas. It is like you buy something almost for free!
Among other probable opportunities to purchase quality sneakers, online purchase is probable the most cost effective and reliable, though it's necessary to be sure about the store you're dealing with – a little research is needed. It's critical, because if you choose the wrong dishonest company, you either will get not what you've been ordering, or won't get anything at all.

NEGAUNEE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WLUC) - The Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights is one big team of skilled workers committed to doing the job right the first time.
Millwright apprentice Natasha Picotte says with this new location, hopefully more people will want to gain trade skills.
"It's more of an advertisement, more people will see that there is a different opportunity compared to where the other building is located. It's not really in a place where it's shown to other people and maybe we could get more people to in," said Millwright Apprentice Natasha Picotte.
The Millwright Training Apprenticeship is a 4-year career training program where people have the opportunity to learn a diverse set of skills through classroom instruction and on-the-go hands on learning experience.
Millwright journey man Joseph Picotte says he's excited to help bring in the next generation of apprentices with the skills he's gained over the years.
"It's in a better location, it'll be a better building than what we have for better tools for training because the building we had was old and couldn't finish much stuff in there as they can in this one," said Millwright Journeyman, Joseph Picotte. "People can drive by and see the sign and wonder what it is and come in and check it out."
First year Millwright apprentice Jacob Picotte also was influenced by his parents to get involved and hopes more people will, too.
"My parents told me what it was like and I was like 'that sounds pretty cool, let's try it out,'" said First-year Millwright Apprentice, Jacob Picotte.
Regional Director Brian Kerrigan calls the Picotte family a testament to evolution, and invites more people to get trained.

15Benedict Cumberbatch
Okay, so Julian Assange biopic The Fifth Estate didn't exactly set the awards season alight like many expected, but it still wasn't the abject failure that its dismal box office figures suggested either. And it's the only notable blot on a career which has seen Benedict Cumberbatch emerge as
one of the quintessential British actors of the 21st Century.
Indeed, name a recent big hit from across the pond and it's likely that the classically-trained actor has played a part in it somewhere – from Atonement and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to War Horse and The Imitation Game, not forgetting his masterful portrayal of everyone's favorite detective Sherlock Holmes, of course. But Cumberbatch has been just as impressive when he's ventured into Hollywood territory, whether it's playing Khan Noonien Singh in the Star Trek reboot, Smaug in The Hobbit trilogy or real life Democrat William Bulger in Black Mass.

Freedom in the World
You are here
2005 Scores
Freedom Rating (1 = best, 7 = worst)
Civil Liberties (1 = best, 7 = worst)
Political Rights (1 = best, 7 = worst)
India received an upward trend arrow to reflect improvements in the climate for religious freedom, as well as the new government's efforts to amend anti-terrorism legislation and review the content of school textbooks.
n a surprise result, India's ruling coalition government, headed by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was defeated in an early general election held in May 2004. The main opposition Congress Party assumed power as the lead partner in a minority coalition government, and former finance minister Manmohan Singh was appointed prime minister. The new government pledged to rescind several elements of the BJP's program, including controversial antiterrorism legislation. Despite the sustained efforts of local activists and lawyers and of India's Supreme Court and the National Commission for Human Rights, justice for the 2002 killings in Gujarat continued to be elusive during the year. The BJP-dominated state government of Gujarat remained reluctant to provide an adequate level of rehabilitation for the victims of the violence or to bring those accused of crimes to trial.
India achieved independence in 1947 with the partition of British India into a predominantly Hindu India, under Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and a predominantly Muslim Pakistan. The centrist, secular Congress Party ruled almost continuously at the federal level for the first five decades of independence. After winning the 1991 elections, the Congress government responded to a balance-of-payments crisis by initiating gradual economic reforms. However, even as the economic crisis receded, the party lost 11 state elections in the mid-1990s, with regional parties making gains in southern India and low-caste parties and the BJP gaining in the northern Hindi-speaking belt. Congress's traditional electoral base of poor, low-caste, and Muslim voters appeared disillusioned with economic liberalization and, in the case of Muslims, the government's failure to prevent communal violence. In December 1992, India experienced some of the worst communal violence since independence after Hindu fundamentalists destroyed a sixteenth-century mosque in the northern town of Ayodhya. Some 2,000 people, mainly Muslims, died in riots and police gunfire.
After the 1996 elections, a series of minority coalitions tried unsuccessfully to form a stable government. Infighting among centrist and leftist parties enabled the BJP to form a government under Atal Behari Vajpayee in 1998, but it faced frequent threats from small but pivotal coalition members. The government fell after a regional party defected, but it won reelection in 1999 as the lead partner in the 22-party National Democratic Alliance.
In February 2002, at least 58 people were killed in Godhra, Gujarat, when a fire broke out on a train carrying members of a Hindu extremist group. A Muslim mob was initially blamed for the fire, and in the anti-Muslim riots that followed throughout Gujarat, more than 1,000 people were killed and roughly 100,000 were left homeless and dispossessed. The violence was orchestrated by Hindu nationalist groups, who organized transportation and provisions for the mobs and provided printed records of Muslim-owned property. Evidence that the BJP-headed state government was complicit in the carnage led to calls for Chief Minister Narendra Modi's dismissal, but he retained the support of the party leadership. In state elections held later that year in which Modi campaigned on an overtly nationalistic and anti-Muslim platform, the BJP won a landslide reelection victory.
The rehabilitation of those displaced by the violence, as well as the prosecution of those responsible for murder, rape, and destruction of property, made little headway during 2004. Some arrests have been made, and a dozen cases are making their way through the judicial system. However, witnesses in the few cases that have been brought to trial, as have lawyers and activists working on their behalf, continue to face threats and intimidation at the hands of local authorities and Hindu nationalist sympathizers. In March 2004, the Supreme Court, responding to petitions from witnesses in several cases, ordered that they be given protection by national forces rather than by Gujarat state police. Further condemnation of the state government's prosecution record was implicit in an April Supreme Court order that the Best Bakery case be retried outside of Gujarat, and an August directive that the state government review more than 2,000 closed riot cases and reexamine acquittals to determine the possibility of filing appeals.
Relations between India and Pakistan worsened in December 2001 following an attack on the Indian parliament building by a Pakistan-based militant group, and the two countries came close to war in 2002, which prompted a flurry of diplomatic activity on the part of the United States. Individuals with connections to Pakistan-based militant groups continued to carry out terrorist attacks within India. Nevertheless, there was some easing of tensions between the two countries by the end of 2003, and formal talks over the disputed territory of Kashmir were held in February 2004 with follow-up discussions continuing in June and September. A number of confidence-building measures, such as improved nuclear safeguards, reopened transport links, and an increased diplomatic presence, were also agreed upon.
Buoyed by improving relations with Pakistan and victories in several key state elections held in late 2003, as well as high levels of economic growth, the government decided to call an early general election. However, in a surprise result, it was defeated - final results announced in May gave the BJP only 137 seats out of 545, and its allies also performed poorly - and the main opposition Congress Party was able to form a minority coalition government with additional parliamentary support from a group of leftist parties. In a further surprise, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi declined the position of prime minister and instead appointed former finance minister Manmohan Singh to the post. However, in a unique power-sharing arrangement, she remains party leader and wields considerable leverage over official policy.
The new United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government is perceived by some analysts as unstable and will need to balance demands from a range of disparate coalition partners. Its effectiveness was also tested by a BJP parliamentary boycott called in protest at the government's appointment of several ministers who are facing criminal charges, as well as increasing civil unrest and violence in several northeastern states. However, the Common Minimum Program (CMP) agreed to by the coalition partners promised a renewed focus on effective governance, a social-democratic budget, and the reversal of several policies initiated by the previous government, including the repeal of controversial antiterrorism legislation and the removal from state-run schools of school textbooks that had been imbued with Hindu nationalist ideology.
Indian citizens can change their government through elections. The 1950 constitution provides for a lower house, the 545-seat Lok Sabha (House of the People), whose members are directly elected for five-year terms (except for 2 appointed seats for Indians of European descent). Members of the 245-seat upper house, the Rajya Sabha (Council of States), are either elected by the state legislatures or nominated by the president; they serve staggered six-year terms. Executive power is vested in a prime minister and a cabinet, while an indirectly elected president serves as head of state.
India is a mature democracy that has held regular and reasonably free elections since independence. A large number of regional and national parties participate, and sitting governments are thrown out of office with increasing regularity. Under the supervision of the vigilant Election Commission of India (ECI), recent elections have generally been free and fair. National elections held in April and May saw a decline in levels of election-related violence. However, some vote fraud and other minor irregularities were apparent in several districts of Bihar despite the introduction of new electronic voting machines throughout the country. Badly maintained voters' lists and the intimidation of voters are also matters of concern. Women and religious and ethnic minorities are well represented in national and local government (there are reserved seats for "scheduled castes" and "scheduled tribes"), and in May, Manmohan Singh, a Sikh, became India's first prime minister from a minority group.
Despite the vibrancy of the Indian political system, effective and accountable rule continues to be undermined by political infighting, pervasive criminality in politics, decrepit state institutions, and widespread corruption. Transparency International's 2004 Corruption Perceptions Index ranked India in 90th place out of 145 countries. The electoral system depends on black money that is obtained though tax evasion and other means. Politicians and civil servants are regularly caught accepting bribes or engaging in other corrupt behavior, but are rarely prosecuted. Moreover, criminality is a pervasive feature of political life, with a number of candidates with criminal records being elected, particularly in the state legislatures. In 2002, the ECI was able to implement a Supreme Court directive requiring candidates seeking election to declare their financial assets, criminal records, and educational backgrounds. However, in June, The Economist reported that 100 of the 545 recently elected members of the national legislature were facing criminal charges.
India's private press continues to be vigorous, although journalists face a number of constraints. In recent years, the government has occasionally used its power under the Official Secrets Act to censor security-related articles. Intimidation of journalists by a variety of actors continues; Hindu nationalist activists connected with the BJP attacked the premises of the Bombay daily Mahanagar in June, and reporters in several states face pressure from separatist militant groups or from local or state-level authorities. The broadcast media are predominantly in private hands, but the state-controlled All India Radio enjoys a dominant position and its news coverage favors the government. Potentially inflammatory books and films are occasionally banned or censored by the national or state governments. Internet access is unrestricted, although some states have proposed legislation that would require the registration of customers at Internet cafes.
The right to practice one's religion freely is generally respected, but violence against religious minorities remains a problem and prosecution of those involved in such attacks continues to be inadequate. Attacks on Christian targets, including the murder and rape of clergy and the destruction of property, dramatically increased after the BJP came to power in 1998, mainly in the predominantly tribal regions of Orissa, Gujarat, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh. Members of the sangh parivar, a group of Hindu nationalist organizations including the BJP, and some local media outlets promote anti-minority propaganda. Legislation on the books in several states, including Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat, criminalizes conversions that take place as a result of "force" or "allurement." These laws have been opposed by human rights activists and religious groups, who argue that the vague provisions of these statutes could be misused.
The promotion of Hindu nationalist ideology by the BJP government also affected the educational system. According to the U.S. State Department's International Religious Freedom Report for 2004, textbooks that had been rewritten to favor a Hindu extremist version of history were introduced in late 2002, despite protests from academics, minority leaders, and advocates of secular values. However, the new Congress-headed government pledged to reverse the "saffronization" of education, and the content of the textbooks is currently under revision. Academic freedom is also occasionally threatened by intimidation of and attacks on professors and institutions: in January, Hindu activists vandalized a research institute in Pune, according to the BBC.
There are some restrictions on freedom of assembly and association. Section 144 of the criminal procedure code empowers state-level authorities to declare a state of emergency, restrict free assembly, and impose curfews. Officials occasionally use Section 144 to prevent demonstrations, and police sometimes use excessive force against demonstrators. Human rights groups say that police and hired thugs have occasionally beaten, arbitrarily detained, or otherwise harassed villagers and members of nongovernmental organizations who protest forced relocation from the sites of development projects.
Human rights organizations generally operate freely. However, Amnesty International's 2004 report noted that the intimidation of human rights defenders by state officials and other actors, including threats, legal harassment, the use of excessive force by police, and occasionally lethal violence, remains a concern. In Gujarat, activists and organizations that have taken an active role in pushing for justice following the February 2002 riots have faced harassment from state authorities, including targeted investigations by income tax authorities or the police, according to Human Rights Watch. The work of rights activists may also be hindered by a Home Ministry order issued in 2001 that requires organizations to obtain clearance before holding international conferences or workshops if the subject matter is "political, semi-political, communal or religious in nature or is related to human rights."
Workers regularly exercise their rights to bargain collectively and strike. The Essential Services Maintenance Act enables the government to ban strikes in certain key industries and limits the right of public servants to strike. It is estimated that there are roughly 55 million child laborers in India. Many work in the informal sector in hazardous conditions, and several million are bonded laborers.
The judiciary is independent of the executive. Judges have exercised unprecedented activism in response to public interest litigation over official corruption, environmental issues, and other matters. However, in recent years, courts have initiated several contempt-of-court cases against activists and journalists, raising questions about their misuse of the law to intimidate those who expose the behavior of corrupt judges or who question their verdicts. Corruption in the judiciary is reportedly rife, and access to justice by the socially and economically marginalized sections of society remains limited. The court system is severely backlogged and understaffed, which results in the detention of a large number of persons who are awaiting trial. In April 2003, the government-appointed Malimath Committee recommended an overhaul of the Indian criminal justice system. However, rights groups expressed concern that its proposals would weaken the rights of the accused and of women while increasing the power of judges and the police.
Police routinely torture or otherwise ill-treat suspects to extract confessions or bribes. Custodial rape of female detainees continues to be a problem, as does routine abuse of ordinary prisoners, particularly minorities and members of the lower castes. Police brutality appears to be especially prevalent in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, which has high levels of custodial deaths and extrajudicial executions, according to a 2003 briefing paper released by the New Delhi - based Human Rights Documentation Centre. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), whose profile has grown since its creation in 1993, is headed by a retired Supreme Court judge and handles roughly 75,000 complaints each year. However, while it monitors abuses, initiates investigations, and makes independent assessments, its recommendations are often not implemented and it has few enforcement powers. Reports by the NHRC, Human Rights Watch, and a number of other groups alleged that police in Gujarat had been given orders by the state government not to intervene during the communal violence that engulfed the state in 2002 and that police have been reluctant to register complaints against those accused of murder, rape, and other crimes, or arrest those known to have played a role in the rioting. Since the riots, scores of Muslim men in Gujarat have been illegally detained and interrogated about their involvement in subsequent attacks such as the killing of former minister Haren Pandya in March 2003, according to Amnesty International. More generally, the failure of the Indian criminal justice system to protect the rights of, and provide equal protection under the law to, minorities, dalits (untouchables), and other underprivileged groups remains a concern.
Police, army, and paramilitary forces continue to be implicated in disappearances, extrajudicial killing, rape, torture, arbitrary detention, and destruction of homes, particularly in the context of insurgencies in Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, and several other northeastern states. The Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and the Disturbed Areas Act remain in effect in several states, and these grant security forces broad powers of arrest and detention. Security forces also continued to detain suspects under the broadly drawn National Security Act, which authorizes detention without charge for up to one year. The criminal procedure code requires the central or state governments to approve prosecution of security force members, which is rarely granted. As a result, impunity for security forces implicated in past human rights abuses remains a concern. After the alleged custodial rape and killing of civilian Thangjam Manorama in July, antigovernment protests erupted in the northeastern state of Manipur, with protestors demanding that the AFSPA be lifted.
In March 2002, the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) was passed by a special joint session of parliament, amid protests by journalists, human rights groups, and some members of the government and judiciary. In addition to widening the definition of terrorism and banning a number of terrorist organizations, the bill also increased the state's powers of investigation and allowed for up to 90 days of preventive detention without charge. Since its enactment, the act has been used in a number of states to detain political opponents, members of minority groups (including tribal members, dalits, Muslims, and others), and other ordinary citizens, as well as against terrorist suspects. Of the 287 cases registered in Gujarat under POTA as of December 2003, there were 286 against Muslims, according to a September 2004 report by Human Rights Watch. However, in September, the new government announced its decision to repeal POTA.
In India's seven northeastern states, more than 40 mainly tribal-based insurgent groups, who seek either greater autonomy or complete independence for their ethnic or tribal groups, sporadically attack security forces and engage in intertribal violence. The rebel groups have also been implicated in numerous bombings, killings, abductions, and rapes of civilians. Rebel positions were weakened by an operation launched by Bhutan in December 2003 to drive a number of groups out of its territory; during the raids, more than 1,000 rebels were either killed or taken into custody by Indian forces. However, violence continued throughout 2004; a series of bombs planted by various groups in early October killed at least 46 people. In a number of states, left-wing guerrillas called Naxalites control some rural areas and kill dozens of police, politicians, landlords, and villagers each year. Police also continued to battle the People's War Group (PWG), a guerilla organization that aims to establish a Communist state in the tribal areas of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh. Nevertheless, in October, the Andhra Pradesh state government held a first set of direct talks with the PWG aimed at ending the decades-old conflict.
The constitution bars discrimination based on caste, and laws set aside quotas in education and government jobs for members of the so-called scheduled tribes, scheduled castes (dalits), and other backward castes (OBCs). However, members of the lower castes, as well as religious and ethnic minorities, continue to routinely face unofficial discrimination and violence. The worst abuse is experienced by the 160 million dalits, who are often denied access to land or other public amenities, abused by landlords and police, and forced to work in miserable conditions. In July, Human Rights Watch criticized the use of excessive police force against dalits who tried to participate in a religious ceremony in Tamil Nadu. Tension between different ethnic groups over land, jobs, or resources occasionally flares into violent confrontation, and sporadic Hindu-Muslim violence remains a concern. Other forms of discrimination against Muslims are sometimes excused in the context of ongoing tensions with Pakistan as well as the global campaign against terrorism. Although India hosts several hundred thousand refugees from various neighboring states, it has no national refugee law, and the treatment of displaced people varies widely, according to Refugees International.
Each year, several thousand women are burned to death, driven to suicide, or otherwise killed, and countless others are harassed, beaten, or deserted by husbands, in the context of dowry and other disputes. Despite the fact that making demands for dowry is illegal and that hundreds are convicted each year, the practice continues to spread. Rape and other violence against women remain serious problems, with lower-caste and tribal women being particularly vulnerable to attacks. Muslim women and girls were subjected to horrific sexual violence during the communal violence that engulfed Gujarat in 2002, and there has been no official attempt to provide rehabilitation for those victims still alive or to prosecute their attackers, according to a 2003 Amnesty International report. Muslim personal status laws as well as traditional Hindu practices discriminate against women in terms of inheritance rights. The malign neglect of female children after birth remains a concern. An increasing use of sex-determination tests during pregnancy, after which female fetuses are more likely to be aborted, and the practice of female infanticide by those who cannot afford the tests have contributed to a growing imbalance in the male-female birth ratios in a number of states, particularly in the northwest.
