Fair Trial for Julian Assange?

Criticism of Swedish justice system
Of all the signatories to the European Convention of Human Rights, Sweden has the highest per capita rate of cases brought to the European Court of Human Rights relating to article 6.1 (right to a fair trial). It also has the highest rate of adverse rulings when it comes to fair trial.
Fair trial as a ground for challenging the EAW - Feb 2011 Hearing
In the Feb 2011 Hearing, Julian Assange's lawyers argued that the UK should not extradite him because he would not face a fair trial in Sweden. If extradited, Assange will be:
Held in prison in solitary confinement when he is returned, despite not having been charged (likely to spend up to a year in custody). There is no time limit to detention in Sweden.
Experts say that he will remain in pre-trial detention indefinitely.
If there is a charge and a trial, it will be held in secret.
He will not be judged by an 'independent and impartial tribunal', a fundamental requirement under the European Convention of Human Rights (article 6.1). Three of the four judges are lay judges, who have been appointed by political parties and have no formal legal training (see Lay Judges).
The Swedish prosecutor, Marianne Ny, has not given Julian Assange or his lawyers information on the allegations against him in writing, which violates the Swedish Code of Procedure (RB 23:18) and the European Convention of Human Rights (article 5), and the EU Fundamental Charter on Human Rights.
There has been political interference with the Prime Minister's statements to the Swedish Parliament during the trial (see Political Interference) and constant press attention has been given to the complainants' lawyer (see Media climate in Sweden).
The bilateral agreement between the United States and Sweden allows Julian Assange to be extradited to the US as soon as he arrives in Sweden (see section on US extradition). Under US custody, Julian Assange risks kidnapping, torture, and execution.
Reactions in Sweden to the criticism of the Swedish Justice System
Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt stated in a parliamentary address that criticism of the Swedish Justice system is unfounded, and Assange's lawyers have tried to patronise Sweden (7 February 2011). The original statements are available here.
In an anonymous survey, one out of three jurists agreed that Assange's criticism of the Swedish Justice system is well-founded (English here, and here). The comments by Swedish lawyers reveal a profound lack of trust in the legal system:
"The Swedish judicial system is close to falling apart as far as sex crimes goes. Bizarre gender theories have had too much influence on practitioners of jurisprudence."
"Considering the pressure on Assange by the world at large, it's not unrealistic to suspect there are things going on behind the scenes that have influenced how the case is being handled."
The Swedish lawyers Jens Lapidus and Johan Åkermark published "Assange's criticism is right on several counts" in one of the main Swedish dailies, DN (05 May 2011):
"We share Assange's criticism about the rules of detention, the Lay Judges and the routine-like fashion in which trials are held behind closed doors."
Claes Borgström, the lawyer for the two complainants in the Assange investigation, has also argued detention periods are excessively long in Sweden.
Anne Ramberg, the chairperson of the Swedish Bar Association, said:
"Both the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and other Inhumane and Degrading Treatment and the UN Committee Against Torture have criticised Sweden for long detention periods, and we agree that they can be incredibly long. We have also repeatedly through the years challenged trials behind closed doors. Because Lay Judges, but also on the grounds that it recruits from a limited pool of people rather than the politicisation of the courts."
Would a trial lead to Assange's Conviction?
The testimonies of the two complainants (AA and SW), Julian Assange, and nine witnesses (English here) were leaked onto the internet in January 2011.
Swedish lawyers are divided on whether Assange would be convicted of the allegations against him.
Arguing that Assange would be found not guilty if charged:
Criminal justice professor Per-Ole Träskman (University of Lund Sweden) and doctoral researcher Sakari Melander (University of Helsinki) discussed the rape allegations against Assange in the Finnish daily newspaper Helsingin Sanomat. They argued that a conviction was unlikely:
* Träskman: "Based on the evidence available, it is unlikely Assange would be convicted of the suspected crimes. Also, the prosecutor has not yet raised charges. That means the prosecutor doesn't think there's sufficient reason to raise a charge at this stage. That's why she wants Assange to be heard in Sweden relying on a European Arrest Warrant."
* Melander: "The success of a possible charge in court is not likely because reasonable doubt remains about Assange's guilt. If there is unclarity about guilt, or there is no full certainty of it, the case must be resolved in favour of the accused."
The full transcript in English is available here.
Björn Hurtig, Assange's defence counsel in Sweden, estimated that there was a 50% chance of conviction. However he argued the following in a letter to Assange's UK defence counsel, Mark Stephens:
"Having studied the case file, as well as other material which I was permitted to inspect but not take copies or notes of (SMS/text messages from the complainants' mobile phones), the case is one of the weakest cases I have ever seen in my professional career..."
"It is highly uncertain whether Mr. Assange will be prosecuted at all, if extradited. If prosecuted, I consider it highly unlikely that he will be convicted. If convicted, he would be likely, in light of the nature and detail of the allegations themselves (the lack of any threats or physical violence, the consensual sexual relations between the complainants and Mr. Assange before the incidents and, in the case of [AA] (her evidence on this point is contradictory) after the incidents, and his personal circumstances, to receive a suspended sentence."
Arguing that Assange is likely to be found guilty if charged:
Per E. Samuelson, currently Assange's lawyer in Sweden (together with Thomas Olsson) commented on the case before representing Assange. In the article he explained the uphill battle of proving his innocence in a system which has reversed the burden of proof (because the complainants' words are taken to be more credible in the absence of evidence, according to the Supreme Court. Samuelsson was also quoted in an article on AOL.
* "People from other countries with different legal cultures just do not understand how extensive the Swedish legal system is regarding sexual crimes. The allegations made against Julian Assange in Sweden must seem to Assange as pure nonsense, as a joke. But he must understand that these are the kind of things for which men go to prison in Sweden."
"There was a discussion [about a law in sexual offences in 2007] but it has not changed. Political pressure which has the equality of women in society as starting point - which is in principle commendable - has led to an unacceptable very high legal uncertainty for defendants in Sweden. This is what Assange is experiencing right now. The feminist movement in Sweden is particularly strong. It has long been criticised by women's rights activists that the judges would believe men more. It was said that it was impossible to get justice as a woman. Now the reverse is true in Sweden.
* "Today convictions are demanded due to a basic political tenor [a higher conviction rate was the stated purpose of Thomas Bodström (the partner in the law firm representing the two complainants against Assange, together with Claes Borgström) while he was Minister of Justice and promoting the reforms for the Sexual offences law]. The tenor: in rape cases, men have to be sentenced; otherwise it is unfair to women. This is unworthy of a constitutional state."
"In Sweden, the consensus is: you say the truth because you're a woman. That is the limit for me. I am for the equality of women in society. Of course. But it cannot go so far that people who are innocent are convicted. In Sweden, the so-called victim's perspective is so advanced that there are even people out there who believe in all seriousness that it is unacceptable that women in general are exposed to the rigours of an interrogation in court. People say we as trial lawyers would offend these women because we interrogate them on behalf of our clients. I think such a culture is unprecedented in Western Europe."
The Assange Case: A colossal miscarriage of justice in English and Swedish published in 'The Journalist' online publication (Journalisten.se) 17 January 2012.
15 December 2011: Mårten Schultz writes that justice must not only be done, it must also be seen to be done. The article does not mention Julian Assange's case by name, but the author, a civil law professor, has been critical of the disclosure of Assange's identity to the media by the prosecutor on the same day of the police complaint.
"The police and the prosecutor have in principle unlimited opportunities to carry out their indictment through the media. The defence by contrast is often gagged." - Mårten Schultz, Dagens Nyheter, 15 December 2011
18 November 2011: William Butt: Julian Assange runs the risk of being wrongfully convicted (in Swedish)

It's summer, it's hot, and if you live in Miami, your body is probably physically rejecting clothing. But before you head outside in your tiniest shorts or crop tops, you're going to want to feel comfortable showing that much skin. And yes, that can mean exercise.
In this land of the superficial, there are plenty of gyms and clubs, but these locations also cost half of what breast implants cost. So might as well just get plastic surgery, right? Kidding.
We bet you set a goal to begin your fitness routine at the beginning of summer, and before that in January, but things got in the way and you never got to it. Then shopping, partying, and eating out got in the way of paying for that gym membership. We understand. So we're here to tell you that you don't have to hit up Dwyane Wade's personal trainer or purchase some swanky gym membership to get that body you want. The best things in life are free, including each of these no-payment-necessary fitness classes around Miami. Now you have no excuses.
Yoga at Bayfront Park
Long gone are the days you had to pay to meditate. All you need is your mat, a zen attitude, and cute workout clothes. As one of Miami's oldies, Yoga in the Park happens three times a week at the Tina Hills Paviliion at Bayfront Park (301 N. Biscayne Blvd., Miami). You can even say you're doing hot yoga, since Miami is at about the same sweltering hot temperature these days.

Miami Critical Mass
Join 4,000 of Miami's coolest bikers as you ride through Miami for 10-20 miles. In 2007, Miami hopped on board and joined other cities by beginning its own monthly bike rides. These guys don't care about the law; they like to ride right through a red light. So if you're into group exercises, rebellion, and taking Miami's streets by storm, Miami Critical Mass is for you. Meet up with thousands of riders at Government Center (111 NW First St.) at 7 p.m on the last Friday of every month.
Run With The Raven
Robert Kraft is perhaps Miami's most famous runner, despite having beaten no time records or competed in many races. He's just a guy who runs eight miles along the South Beach coast every day, without fail -- since 1975. Along the way, he's picked up an informal following of fellow running enthusiasts who join him on his runs each day starting at 5 p.m. You, too, can be a Raven disciple, if you meet up with him at the Fifth St. lifeguard stand on any given day.
Miami-Dade Parks' Fitness Zones
More of a solo workout fiend? Wondering how you're going to isolate your glutes without access to swanky gym machines? Fear not; several parks in the county feature "Fitness Zones," areas filled with outdoor exercise equipment set up like playgrounds for adults. At any of these locations, you can work those quads or build up those biceps just like the beefcakes who intimidated you at your old gym. And you won't be spending unnecessary money like a chump, either.

A shirtless Joe Jonas and his bikini-clad sweetie Camilla Belle were seen hanging out at the beach in Cabo San Lucas last week!!!
Check out the pic of Joe in his short shorts and a toweled-up Camilla at Us Weekly.
The Jonas Brothers shared on their MySpace that, "This week was Kevin's birthday so we took the last day to celebrate his birthday with family, the band, and a few friends. It is so awesome to stop and appreciate all that has happened to us because of all of you."
Joe, 19, recently addressed the "27-second phone call" on the same MySpace post earlier today. Since then, the blog post has been removed from their MySpace page…

MBA Project on Evaluation Of Performance Appraisal Format Used At Ial System Overview:
The personnel department prepares appraisal forms for each & every category of employee & at the start of the appraisal period. It sends these forms to the concerned departments after filling in the necessary details of the employee to be appraised which is background information.
The staff should have worked at least for a period of 3 months to be appraised by an officer. In case the appraiser reports to more than one reporting officer in an appraisal year, on, transfer, promotion etc; the personnel department would forward the appraisal forms to reporting officers concerned for the period, the appraise reports to them.
The assessment of an employee is primarily governed under a 2-tier system that is assessment by the reporting officer as well as by the reviewing officer, where the assessment is subject to concurrence of the consenting authority, which will be final. The assessment done on the basis of certain attributes/factors, which help in defining the job requirements of a particular job usually, a 4-point scale or a 10-point scale for each factor is used for rating. Once the reporting officers gives his rating and comment if any the same shall be put to the reviewing officer who after careful scrutiny of appraisal will pass his remarks.
After the reviewing officers comments are given and duly signed by him, he can advice the reporting officer to discuss the appraisal with the employee or in certain cases, may decide to discuss the appraisal with the employee himself but in the presence of reporting officer.
The reporting officer after rating the employee on various attributes will give his remarks, which are discussed with the employee to know his reaction. After the discussion with the employee, the reporting officer gives his final remarks &his suggestion for improvement of the employee performance. The reviewing officer for further comments later scrutinizes these details.
The complete appraisal report is then sent back to the personnel department in a confidential cover. The personnel department will then check the appraisal report for irregularities and any adverse entries against any of the employee made by the reporting officer will be communicated to the employee in a covering letter asking him/her to improve.

Improving the productivity of container terminals when loading empty freight (ISO) containers on and off container ships
BLOK-Container Systems is pioneering new and efficient ways to handle containers at the quayside and providing opportunities for container terminals. Starting initially with the BLOK-BEAM product the company has continued to refine the system and has important new products awaiting international patent: the BLOK-spreader is stationed at the port and converts a single spreader into a tandem spreader able to lifts BLOKS of 2 columns or 3 in one lift; BLOK-trailers jig the containers together ready for locking and shipping and BLOK-locks work alongside SATS and are used to lock the containers together in one secure BLOK ready for shipping.
Every day, millions of empty containers are shipped worldwide
The 'BLOK- Container System' has been designed to enhance safety and efficiency of container terminals. Not only is it safer on the quay, the deck and at sea, but it speeds handling of containers and turnaround of container ships.
In 2012 'The World Shipping Council' estimated the equivalent of over 14 million twenty foot container equivalents (TEU) were returned empty from Europe and North America back to the Far East because there was no cargo for the return journey, 'The Empty Leg'. This imbalance continues to the present day.
BLOK-Container System
The BLOK-Container System works like this. Containers are formed into blocks ('BLOKs') before the ship arrives during normal working hours. The BLOKs are then transported to the quay and craned onto the ship in BLOKs of 4, 6 or 8 containers.
The BLOKs are assembled two containers high 'off quay' by teams of Stevedores using a special jigging trailer called a BLOK-Trailer. The BLOK-Trailer once loaded, is towed to the quayside by just one driver, one tractor ready for lifting. The STS crane uses its existing tandem, twin or single spreaders. A BLOK-Spreader is available which for a four BLOK System enables tandem spreaders to lift three or four columns of containers, a twin lift spreader to lift up eight teu, and a single spreader to lift four 20fts or four 40fts at a time.
The BLOK-Container System will increase your productivity by four, six or eight times.
BLOKs can be assembled ahead of time, providing a balanced work load which allows stevedores to work easily and safely during normal working hours. With the BLOK Container System it is possible to raise lifting rates from a present average of 30 containers per hour, to between 120 and 240 per hour, a massive increase in productivity.
Why BLOK-Container Systems?
For Ports and Terminals the BLOK-Container System offers
Safety with no dangerous twistlock fitting on the quayside
Safety with reduced container lashing and unlashing on deck by more than 50 percent
Speed with 120 to 240 containers in an hour with existing Ship to Shore container cranes
Expansion of capacity without building more quays or purchasing more cranes
Less fuel consumption, less wear, less maintenance of machines
For Shipping Lines the BLOK-Container Systems offers
Safer operations on deck
Safety at sea with improved lashing
Quicker turnaround
Reduced operational time and cost.
"On an Asia-Europe round-trip the time spent in port has increased from 12 days in 2007 to 18 days. If we can't lift the containers off faster, the whole thing will come to a grinding halt"
Søren Skou, Maersk CEO 2015

I finally arrived back home in Bucharest after my beautiful trip and after I meet a lot of people there that helped me and that will support me from now on also. The trip back went even smoother than the one to US and I did not even had problem with my nose after the flight back home.
I did not had the chance to unpack all my staff because I had to leave home again to go into another place to do water therapy. The name of the place is "Baile 1 Mai" and it is quite far from Bucharest but it is famous for its natural thermal water and for its medical clinic that is specialized in working with children that are having problems similar with me. I will stay here almost a month.
My mother is saying that we are in a summer camp here :). I like here, there are a lot of kids here but I can not talk with them yet because they do not understand me. I'm too small? Well I hope I will make friends here too. Actually I already have friends here: are the doctors that are taken care of me and although I'm a little tired after each session, I feel like I will learn how to swim :)
May God put infinite joy in your hearts (so that you can pray for me :) )!

In Chapter 19, Alma never mentioned Ichimei to Seth while she was recounting her life to him. Meanwhile, Irina found peace in delving into Alma's memories other than her own. Alma knew she was becoming older. There were things she could no longer do on her own. Although there were few pictures that featured Alma, an exhibition of Nathaniel's photographs of her was opened at a prestigious art gallery. The pictures were taken during an eight-year span between 1977 and 1983. The woman that Irina saw in the photographs scared her. Seth took her hand and she let him hold it.

Marty Davis has listened to experienced cotton farmers say for decades that they hope to farm long enough to see a normal year.
"I hope the last two were normal," Davis, a Crosby County, Texas, cotton farmer said as he got started on his 2006 crop.
"Last year was a very good year. We had two good years in a row." And if those two were normal he'd like a few more just like them. He's doing all he can to replicate those yields and to improve production efficiency. Irrigation and fertilization efficiency play key roles. He just needs a little cooperation from Mother Nature.
Davis has farmed in a partnership with his father-in-law, Compton Cornelius, and brother-in-law, Robby Cornelius, since 1987, and said the last two crops were the best they've made since 1988. They irrigate two-thirds of the 3,000-acre cotton farm, most years.
"We run 12 center pivot units and we grew cotton on a 98-acre block of drip irrigation last year," Davis said. "Drip did very well, 1,780 pounds per acre."
Improving irrigation efficiency will be crucial as water resources decline and energy costs rise," he said. Drip irrigation helps. "We'll put in another 60-acre block on Compton's farm this year."
He said the first block went in on acreage where a pivot was not practical. "Drip works well where pivots don't fit," he said. "Low producing land and acreage without good water are good bets for drip irrigation. It's a big investment but we believe drip systems will pay for themselves in two years, maybe one."
Davis said a farmer needs one gallon of water per bale of cotton yield expected, about 3.5 gallons per acre, for drip irrigation.
"We apply about one-fourth inch per day and water three stages at a time with the drip system."
He said they perk water up to germinate cottonseed after planting.
He's also thrifty with center pivot irrigation. They use LEPA systems that water every other row with drag hoses.
He pre-waters with about 2 inches to improve germination. He prefers wetting the soil early to sprinkling the crop up after planting.
"We did not pre-water as much this year as we usually do," Davis said. "High energy prices made it expensive. We pre-watered enough to qualify for the minimum fee on electricity use."
In-season, they typically apply water four times. "The last two summers we've had timely rains," Davis said. "That helped a lot with irrigation expenses. In years past, we often turned on the systems and kept them going. We had to."
Furrow dikes also play an important role in moisture management. "They keep water in place," Davis said.
They do not make significant cuts in production budgets. "We will not cut back on fertility, especially under irrigation. Good yields the last two years took a lot out of the soil so we have to add fertilizer. But we will not add more than usual."
Cotton under pivot irrigation typically gets from 80 pounds to 100 pounds of nitrogen, depending on water availability. "We run some nitrogen through the drip tape and add liquid nitrogen through the pivots. We put about half down pre-plant and the rest through irrigation. If we get hailed out, we don't have everything invested up front."
They usually add 20 pounds to 40 pounds of phosphorus and "a complete fertilizer pre-plant."
They have not switched to a minimum tillage system but are cutting back on trips over the fields. They sow rye in every other middle under the pivots to keep soil from blowing. "Also, rye helps some with wilt problems."
Davis and his partners have moved much of their acreage away from stripper varieties to picker types. "We had 30 percent to 40 percent of our production in picker varieties last year," Davis said. "We may plant 90 percent pickers this year."
He said the looser bolls in picker-type cotton make it more vulnerable to fall storms. "We try to get it out as soon as we can. Leaving it in the field does it no good once it's ready. We like to kill it Sept. 1 if it's mature."
Davis said the advantage with pickers comes from increased yield, about 100 pounds per acre more, and improved quality, a three cents to five cents per pound increase in loan value.
"Stripper cotton is more storm proof. It's tighter in the boll but produces less yield and lower grades, on average."
He usually plants Deltapine 2266 and 2280 stripper types. "These are early maturing varieties. I think there's a place for these, especially with drip. I book some stripper cotton in case we get acreage hailed out," Davis said. He lost 1,000 acres of irrigated cotton to hail last year.
He'll plant mostly picker type cotton, including Deltapine 444 and 434 and FiberMax 958.
"We averaged 900 pounds per acre last year, irrigated and dryland. Drip made 1,780 pounds, almost 4 bales per acre. Pivots made from 2.5 bales to 3 bales per acre. Dryland made from 650 pounds to 800 pounds per acre, depending on where the rain fell."
Davis said better varieties helped produce better yields the past few years, as has boll weevil eradication. "Weevils had begun to be trouble east of Crosbyton," he said. "Eradication helped."

It depends where you live, but this cold snap could be affecting your runs. Remember, there is no such thing as weather that is too cold, just not enough clothes. If you have the right clothes, you will stay warm, dry and comfortable!
This is just a preliminary guide, since every person differs in how much warmth they require, it depends on the length of the run, and the humidity.
When It's 32 Degrees or Below:
- Our first layer is a anti-wicking bra and tank top. This keeps the sweat from soaking the layer closest to your skin and making you sick.
- Long sleeve midweight base layer shirt. You can either try wool/polyester, or a long sleeved race tech shirt. If you don't have a pair, try finding one at a second hand store (running clothes are just way too expensive!). If you're up for something cute, try the Swiftly Tech from Lululemon.
- If your feet tend to get cold, use wicking knee length socks. Also try ski socks if you have those handy!
- Over the long sleeve shirt, wear a wind breaking jacket. This should be tight fitting so it doesn't bounce as you run. The purpose of this jacket is to keep you dry and protect you from the wind.
- Invest in a pair of running tights. May we suggest the Pearl iZUMi Women's Thermal Tights, which are extremely warm and have a zipper at the ankle to ensure no cool breezes up your legs!
- Wear a lightweight running beanie, anti wicking so it doesn't retain moister from sweat and cause a head cold. We don't suggest purchasing this item online, as they tend to be too short to cover your ears.
- Light gloves work for cooler temperatures to warm up your hands. Some people only need gloves for the first couple miles, which means they are removed by the time your hands get sweaty. If you need them for a longer time, try a pair of running gloves.
When It's Above 32 Degrees:
When it's a little warmer than freezing, it still requires you to dress for the weather. Layering with all those layer above results in a sweaty uncomfortable run, but you can't head out in shorts and a t-shirt.
- Dress in layer, but wear the same first layer of a anti-wicking bra and tank top.
- Wear a long sleeve midweight base layer shirt.
- If you need a jacket, keep it light weight in case you warm up and it needs to be tied around your waist.
- If it's windy, wear the thicker running tights. However, if it's warmer, thinner running capri's will keep you from overheating. Our favorite is the inspire crop from Lululemon.
- Try a thinner running hat or cap to keep your heat warm during your run. If it's raining, try a waterproof cap to keep the rain from soaking your hair.
What do you wear on your winter runs? Share them on twitter #girlsrunfaster or on our facebook page!

North Shore Channel Via North Branch Trail is a 13 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Chicago, Illinois that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
kid friendly
mountain biking
road biking
trail running
wild flowers
Paved bike path that starts on North Side of Chicago, through Evanston and into Skokie
The 2 mile portion we walked was just that "a walk" - not a hike. The description says it follows the river but it doesn't mention it also follows the constant traffic in McCormick Rd. We were looking for a hike in a more woodsy area. The path does share a nice bike trail.
Nice paved trail along the river.

Very nice path. It can get crowded later in the day, but first thing in the morning, it's great.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is one of four nominees for the Internet Service Providers' Association (ISPA) Internet Hero award for 2013.
The Liberal Democrats leader has been shortlisted for the role he played in preventing the communications data bill from reaching the statute books.
Mr Clegg withdrew support for the proposed legislation - nicknamed the Snoopers' Charter - in April, meaning it is unlikely the bill will succeed in its current form.
Fellow MP Julian Huppert has also received a nomination for ISPA's Internet Hero award, for leading political opposition to the same bill.
The third nominee is Edward Snowdon, who has been recognised for exposing the PRISM surveillance project being run by the US government.
And Spamhaus - the IT security organisation - makes the shortlist after fighting off a significant global distributed denial-of-service attack in the spring.
ISPA Secretary-General Nicholas Lansman noted that the Internet Hero award is "one of the most anticipated categories" at the ISPAs.
"Given what has happened in the last year, it is no surprise that surveillance dominates this year's shortlists," he stated.
"Thank you to members of the public for their suggestions and I look forward to finding out who wins on the night."

Some of our commenters on Facebook – where we have also posted this video – claim that the avenger is actually a man dressed as a woman. If so, it's curious and enlightening that a man has to dress like a woman in order to act like a man.
I think they're right – the avenger isn't a woman any more than than the "attacker" is a Muslim. I don't know if the video is to "teach", like the Finnish video, or is a parody of that one, but it's definitely staged. Still funny, though!
Hahaha… funny video. It reminded me of a skit from the Benny Hill show. I could actually hear the theme music in my head!
I wonder if this was staged? I just saw another video that was put out by the Finnish government showing women how to "protect" themselves from rapists. They actually suppose that simply putting your hand out and saying "stop!" will be effective, or pushing him away, or, as a last resort(!) swinging at him with your handbag, like the woman in this video. It's so unbelievably ridiculous! They allow barbarians into these countries and then expect the women to fight them off with handbags???
If these women were armed with handguns the problem would be solved instantly.
But in some of these places even mace is illegal! When people are stupid enough to allow their government to ban guns, this is what they can expect to be reduced to.

I really like Stephen Fry, and I love historical "counterfactuals", so this rambling thought-experiment hit all the right buttons for me...until the second half when the action shifts location from a spot on mid-'90s Cambridge to a less-than-believable alternative reality Princeton, NJ. And the "happy" ending was a real head-scratcher, let's just leave it at that. One gets the impression that the author was pressed for time to get the book done and move on to other projects- what a curse it must be to be as clever and talented in diverse fields as Mr Fry is! Still, it gets my qualified recommendation on the strength of the passages about the life and times of young Hitler, and also Fry's chin-strokingly evil invention of the man who could have taken his place were he never born.
In addition to thoroughly enjoying this thoughtful alternate history, which will definitely appeal more to fans of language than of plot at the beginning, I was delighted by passages in which the action is narrated in the form of a screenplay script. The author did a brilliant job of telling certain sections of the story in this format and I gained valuable and completely unexpected insight into how a screenplay is written!
A spine tingling alternate history thriller, based on that hoary ethical cliche: what if you could go back in time and murder Hitler? Would it make any difference? Michael Young, a Cambridge graduate student who has just completed his dissertation on Hitler's childhood, unexpectedly finds out when he meets a mysterious German physicist named Zukermann. Together, they manage to retro-engineer the Hitler family history to forestall young Adolf's birth...while setting in motion a disastrous chain of consequences resulting in an America that no self confident, liberal gay intellectual could live in. Will Michael and Zukermann be able to reverse the damage they've caused...or will they make things still worse?
My husband brought this home from some kind of fund-raising book sale at work, so I said "What the heck", and placed it by my bed.
It's a pleasant read, following the misadventures of a gawky and rather immature grad student Michael Young who has just finished his thesis on Hitler's early life. The first half of the book's chapters alternate between what is happening to Michael as he attempts to submit his paper, and what is actually written in his paper. The second half of the book deals with aftermath of a time-travel experiment Michael hatches with an ancient professor with his own dark secret.
Two sections of the book are written in movie script form (presumably for easier narration), and I found this a bit clunky, but on the whole, I enjoyed the book. I'm not sure how memorable it is, but it does raise (for me anyway) the rather startling question: "Is genocide by death camp preferable to genocide by mass sterilization?"

As little as 20 minutes of moderate exercise three times per week during pregnancy enhances a newborn's brain development, according to a small study presented today at Neuroscience 2013, in San Diego.
"While animal studies have shown similar results, this is the first randomized controlled trial in humans to measure the impact of exercise during pregnancy on the newborn's brain," says neuropsychologist Dave Ellemberg, of the University of Montreal. Dr. Ellemberg is the study's senior author.
"This is not to cast blame on inactive mothers," adds study collaborator Élise Labonté-LeMoyne. "We're simply saying to pregnant women that exercise may give a slight advantage to your children's development." Obstetricians once told women to take it easy and rest during their pregnancy, she notes.
"Today, medical societies encourage physical activity during each trimester," comments Alycia Halladay, Autism Speaks senior director for environmental and clinical sciences. Earlier research had shown that physical activity during pregnancy reduces the risk of birth complications, eases post-partum recovery and reduces the tendency toward obesity in children. "This small study suggests that moderate exercise during pregnancy promotes brain function in the newborn as well," says Dr. Halladay, who was not involved in the research.
Given that research has shown that exercise improves adult brain function, the Canadian researchers proposed that it might likewise benefit the developing brain during pregnancy. To verify this, they randomly assigned 18 women to either an exercise group or a sedentary group beginning in the second trimester of pregnancy. Women in the exercise group performed at least 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise three times per week. They aimed for a moderate intensity that produced a slight shortness of breath. Women in the sedentary group didn't exercise.
The researchers then assessed brain activity of newborns between the ages of 8 to 12 days. They did so noninvasively using electro-encephalography (EEG) caps.
"We used 124 soft electrodes placed on the infant's head and waited for the child to fall asleep on his or her mother's lap," Dr. Labonté-LeMoyne explains. "We then measured auditory memory by means of the brain's unconscious response to repeated and novel sounds."
The results showed that the babies born to the physically active mothers had a more-focused and mature pattern of brain activity. (See images above right.) Though less mature, the brain activity of the infants in the inactive-mom group was still within normal levels.
Next, the investigators will evaluate the children's cognitive, motor and language development around their first birthdays, to see if the advantages persist.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Tuition will be increasing for Temple University students this Fall.
The university's Board of Trustees voted Thursday to increase tuition by 2.8 percent for the 2013-2014 school year.
In-state students will see a $400 dollar increase to $12,406. Out-of-state students will see a $600 increase to $23,432.
Tuition rates were frozen this past school year.
In addition, the trustees increased the mandatory student fee from its current $590 to $690 per year.
The student fee has been frozen for the last four years. The university says the fee increase is in response to rising demand for student services.

Assistance Dogs Australia will provide workshops to help families living with autism in Sydney's Sutherland Shire following their success in the SUEZ Community Grants Program.
Assistance Dogs Australia will provide workshops to help families living with autism in Sydney's Sutherland Shire following their success in the SUEZ Community Grants Program
Assistance Dogs Australia is a national charity that trains Labradors and Golden Retrievers to perform everyday tasks for people with disabilities.
The funding will help the charity fund a program to help children with autism. The Parents Autism Workshop Support (PAWS) program brings together the parents of children with autism with specialist dog instructors to train and utilise the skills of a dog as a 'therapy tool'. The workshops aim to help families make an informed decision about whether to apply for a specially trained Autism Assistance Dog, and investigate the options available to them.
Over the past 18 months, Assistance Dogs Australia have seen requests to take part in the PAWS workshop series more than double. Fiona Corner, Senior Fundraiser of Assistance Dogs Australia was very excited to hear the news about the grant.
"The $5,000 SUEZ Community Grant will enable us to run the PAWS workshop series for ten families living with Autism. This support will help young children diagnosed with Autism, their siblings and parents," Fiona said. .
"The workshops will also provide an education training platform for specialist practitioners in Autism such as Occupational and Speech Therapists and Special Need Teachers," Fiona added.
SUEZ Corporate Affairs Manager, Luke Schepen, presented the cheque to the Assistance Dogs Australia on Wednesday at the launch of the Dogtober campaign in Martin Place.
Mr Schepen said the grant was particularly special as it was the company's 'Employee Choice' grant recipient. Employees from SUEZ's sites and facilities across Australia were given the opportunity to vote for the group, out of five, who they felt made the biggest impact on the community.
"The team at SUEZ believes in being active and engaged in communities in the communities which we live, work and deliver our services. The work of Assistance Dogs Australia overwhelmingly resonated with the entire team at SUEZ, so it's great to see so much support for such a worthy cause that will help families in the Sutherland Shire," he said.
SUEZ launched the company's community grants program in 2013 and to date has provided more than $250,000 in funding across Australia.
