A panel of Washington TV talkers was snickering about the dig that Sen. Robert Dole took at President Clinton.
If you missed it, Dole criticized Clinton for conveying the condolences of the American people to North Korea on the death of dictator Kim Il Sung.
Dole suggested that veterans of the Korean War and their families wouldn't be mourning the death of the man who started a war in which so many Americans died.
This amused the Washington talkers. Pundit Robert Novak said Dole was having a slow day without any TV appearances, so he pounced on Clinton's condolences to get media attention. The others chuckled at Novak's wit and insight.
They might be right. Dole is a partisan politician, and he doesn't skip many opportunities to zap his adversaries.
But does that mean Dole was wrong?
I happened to be driving in my car when I heard the radio news item about Kim Il Sung's death.
My first thought was: "Too bad he didn't croak 50 years ago, the rat."
Remember, we are talking about a world-class villain. While he didn't operate on the big scale of a Stalin or Hitler, he shared their cold-blooded instincts.
Because of his lust for power, more than 1 million Korean civilians died, men, women, children. More than 53,000 Americans and 200,000 Korean troops were killed. The entire country was devastated.
He believed in torturing prisoners of war, letting some starve to death.
And since that war ended 41 years ago, he's been looking for other ways to stir up trouble. He captured an American ship and tormented the crew. He ordered a civilian airliner shot down. And most recently he has given much of the world a nervous twitch by trying to build nuclear weapons.
So if there was any reaction in this country and other civilized lands, it should have been to order a round and toast his departure.

- Abstract
As CMOS technology scales ever further, multi-core processors are becoming mainstream both in research and industry. However, the system vulnerability is increasing due to tighter design margins and greater susceptibility to interference, both caused by smaller feature size, lower power supply voltage, higher frequency, greater hardware complexity and more transistors per processor. Meanwhile, concurrent programming environment has emerged, a general designation for the norms in the exploitation of systems with multi-core processors, which is widely believed to be the main approach for gaining scalable performance improvement from multi-core systems based on parallelism exploitation and resource scheduling. In this dissertation, we specifically explore the construction of a fault tolerance framework in a concurrent programming environment. During this process, we investigate the features of a concurrent programming environment. With this knowledge, we design a cross-layer, flexible, low-overhead fault tolerance framework including fault detection, and recovery, as well as fault injection for its evaluation. The proposed fault tolerance framework targets the general paradigm of concurrent programming environments, and is evaluated and implemented in a specific platform, i.e., the Microgrids.

Review: Upper Cut, Southwark Playhouse
Published on WhatsOnStage, 19.01.2015
The Labour party's timeline snakes round the wall: Neil Kinnock on one side, Ed Miliband on the other; between them, Blair and Brown. The implication is obvious: in 30 years – 13 of them spent in power – Labour's back where it began: in the doldrums.
Juliet Gilkes Romero's play examines racial representation in Parliament over that period. Starting in 2012, with only 27 of 650 elected MPs coming from an ethnic minority background, Romero slowly rewinds to 1986, two years after the first four were elected. That she borrows her structure from Harold Pinter's Betrayal tells you everything you need to know.
Upper Cut charts the careers – backwards – of two black Labour politicians, Michael Powers (Akemnji Ndifornyen) and Karen Jackson (Emma Dennis-Edwards). Powers has risen to Deputy Leader, primarily by giving up his convictions for the sake of power, while Jackson has become a marginalised presence, thanks to her increasingly hard-line stance. Thirty years earlier, it was the other way round: Powers was the rebel, pushing all-black shortlists for parliamentary candidates; Jackson, the promising party-liner.
Romero retraces their respective relationships with the Labour leadership, specifically with gruff Northern cynic and party bigwig Barry Reid (Andrew Scarborough). While Michael – note his surname, incidentally – is courted, Jackson falls out of favour over her defence of a black family killed in an arson attack, the Silverton Twelve. All this is entangled with romance: like their Pinteresque counterpoints, the three politicians are involved in two long-running trysts.
The message is clear: mainstream politics is built on betrayal. Romero pins down its catch 22; that making a difference requires a position of power, but securing that power means dropping most of one's differences. Progress is partial and the status quo survives. Just as New Labour dragged the Left right to win power, black politicians have dropped their insistence on equality. "Getting elected is a victory for our people," says Michael. "It's not enough," comes Karen's reply.
It's an important argument, neatly expressed, but, as drama, Upper Cut is awfully schematic, driven primarily by dramatic irony: insider becomes outsider and vice versa, tee-totallers turn into – what else? – borderline alcoholics. Romero's script has more U-turns than a decade of Blair government.
What does for the play, though, is its tangled timeline. Michael goes from militant outsider to Labour's Next Big Thing in the space of four months, while his South London accent melts into RP overnight. Equally, I struggled to believe that the two concurrent affairs would last so long, especially when both parties seem to do nothing but argue over their irreconcilable political differences.
Lottie Wakeham's nervy production snags on the script's edges. When not sparring like Newsnight opponents, Romero's characters are busy dropping clunky exposition. One even explains Live Aid: "Last summer – Bob Geldoff, Wembley?" That was meant to change things too.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will not appeal a recent court decision that thousands of victims of financier Allen Stanford's Ponzi scheme were ineligible under federal law to file claims to recoup their losses, an SEC spokesman said on Friday.
On July 18, a federal appeals court in Washington rejected the SEC's bid to force the Securities Investor Protection Corp (SIPC) to start paying an estimated 7,800 former customers of Stanford Group Co.
The court concluded that these victims did not qualify as "customers" eligible for compensation by SIPC, which liquidates failed brokerages. It upheld a July 2012 ruling by a federal district judge.
SEC spokesman John Nester on Friday said in an email that the regulatory agency decided "after very careful deliberation" not to pursue the case further.
He also said the SEC remains committed to Stanford's victims, and will work with the Stanford firm's receiver, the U.S. Department of Justice and others to maximize recoveries.
Stanford, 64, is serving a 110-year prison term following his March 2012 conviction for running an estimated $7.2 billion fraud.
The scheme was centered on bilking investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his Antigua-based Stanford International Bank.
Angela Shaw Kogutt, founder of the Stanford Victims Coalition, called the SEC decision "a complete injustice" to Stanford victims.
"Unfortunately, Stanford victims have no private right of action against SIPC," she said in an email. "The Commission has caved to an organization it is supposed to oversee."
The case had been the first time the SEC had sued to force SIPC to start a court-supervised liquidation.
While the SIPC has handled other big liquidations, including that of Bernard Madoff's former firm, it contended that Stanford's customers did not qualify for help because the Antigua bank was not a member of SIPC, unlike Texas-based Stanford Group.
In ruling for SIPC, Circuit Judge Sri Srinivasan had written for the appeals court that "we fully agree" with the district court judge, who expressed that he had been "'truly sympathetic to the plight' of the victims." (Editing by Meredith Mazzilli and Jonathan Oatis)

During the sailing season, the Maine Windjammer Association captains wake up most days on board an historic vessel, drink freshly brewed coffee and muffins baked in an old-fashioned wood stove, then decide where wind and tide might take them and their guests for the day. During the day, they'll anchor in a quiet harbor, tell stories, maybe sing songs and then snuggle into their bunks under a blanket of stars. Off season, though, there's no telling what the captains are up to. This month, we're catching up with Captain Brenda of the Isaac H. Evans and Captains Doug and Linda Lee of the Heritage to see what assortment of activities fill their off-season days.
Kai and Kamea's wish for snow came true, providing endless hours of outdoor play, art projects and shoveling.
For Captain Brenda, mother of two young kids, her days are predictably kid-focused. Between tubing with the kids at the local mountain or just sledding in the back yard, Captain Brenda's days are filled with kid-friendly activities. They've painted flowers on the snow banks, visited the ice castle in New Hampshire, and dug ice caves in the piles of snow in their yard. "The only kid-free recreation I have had time for is ice hockey and shoveling," says Brenda.
With all that activity, Captain Brenda still found time to enter the 10th Annual Maine Photography Show - a juried show that opens in Boothbay Harbor in April - and received word that the jurors chose one of her photos is to be in the show. She says, "It's an image I created during the season - a sunset on the water shot. Last year 342 photographers entered a total of 933 photos and the show is, in terms of participation, one of the largest in the state. They choose only 100 photos each year to be in the show. An interesting connection is that the juror this year was Tillman Crane. When I was fresh out of high school in the summer of 1987 (I was 17), I took a photography class at the Maine Photographic Workshop in Rockport. It was their first-ever offering of a class called "Young Photographers." We called ourselves 'Yo-Phos.' Well, Tillman was the assistant instructor for the class. And here we are 28 years later and he has chosen one of my images to be in the show." Congratulations Brenda!
The Captains of the Heritage are no less busy. Always on the lookout to improve their collections, the Lees are frequently found at flea markets and auctions. Their car collection just hit one dozen: ten Excaliburs, one Zimmer and one 1928 Dodge.
Of course, winter in Maine means taking care of the house in the cold, snow with lots of shoveling and tending the fires.
Captain Linda writes, "We seem to be very busy with our 'hobbies.' One of our cars is being restored and we're doing smaller projects on several of them. Our Maritime History collection of photographs needs lots of attention - we're a few years behind on getting them sorted out and properly archived. We often help out with other people's books and with museum identification requests."
For exercise, the Lees could be found stacking firewood and cross country skiing. The Great Windship Heritage will enjoy her 32nd birthday on April 16th, 2015. "We are thinking about a new yawl boat engine to have as a spare. We completely rebuilt one of our small (almost 18' long) row boats this fall with the help of the crew. Lois Lane was completely refastened and refinished - ready for next season."
And while the winter has been beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed, the Lees are clear about next season: "We're looking forward to a great sailing season with lots of happy guests who will be able to enjoy all the special components of every trip. We can't tell you how much we enjoy sailing on the coast each summer."

"Class" is about the only word that could describe Sunday's game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees.
It's been said it was likely the last home game Jose Bautista would play in a Jays' uniform.
His teammates showed class in letting him take his position in the field at the start of the game ahead of everyone else. The fans showed class by cheering him every time he came to bat. Manager John Gibbons made a point of pulling him just before the game ended, giving the crowd one last chance at an ovation. And Bautista acknowledged it all with class.
It is true that Blue Jay fans owe Bautista for a lot of memories over the 10 years he was with the club. There have been a lot of clutch home runs and great plays in the field.
The most lasting memory will probably be from that incredible game two years ago when he hit the crucial three-run homer against the Texas Rangers, then executed the immortal bat flip. True, a lot of people didn't like it, especially Rangers' fans, among others. Even columnist Claire Hoy called it "showboat crap," although Hoy makes no secret of the fact he's a Yankees' fan.
No matter, it was likely the biggest hit of the man's career, and like any other human being, he rejoiced.
His many fans in these parts will never forget that.
We would argue that's another example of class.

As Human Civilization continues to evolve from the monkey jungle to the corporate jungle, it has become increasingly important for everyone and his dog to adopt a logo and a slogan.
Downtown Fort Lauderdale is no exception, although at this point, no one is about to bring any poodles into the picture.
John F. Mercede, the man who runs Mercede Buildings, and the Fort Lauderdale Downtown Council are sponsoring a contest for a logo and slogan.
These will be used to ``promote business and give identity to the downtown area,`` according to the contest people.
Frankly, this is a smart, strategic move on the part of the movers and shakers of Fort Lauderdale. Everyone knows that a clever logo and slogan are the mark of a smooth, high-powered organization.
Imagine Ford without Quality is Job 1. Eastern Airlines without We earn our wings every day. Kentucky Fried Chicken without We do chicken right.
Where would Wheaties be without Breakfast of champions? Morton Salt without When it rains, it pours?
These slogans are powerful advertising vehicles. They reach out and slap us -- sometimes until it hurts -- with the importance of a company`s products or services.
In fact, to go out into today`s business world without a logo and a slogan is corporate suicide. You might was well have the chairman of the board present the annual stockholders` report in cutoffs instead of a three-piece suit.
So now Downtown Fort Lauderdale is getting with it. And for good reason: Growth. Explosive Growth.
As Mercede noted in a written statement, ``Both national and international corporations are recognizing the advantages of relocating and establishing businesses in the downtown area.``

In the project settings you can set up rules to exclude some elements from your screenshots. This is very handy if you have some banners or highly dynamic elements on your site (slideshows, timers, weather widget, social networks widgets).
On the settings form you can write down selectors (each on single row) of the elements to be excluded.
One of most used is providing ID of the element. For example
for site http://www.tennis.com will remove the slider from the frontpage.
Next is you can exclude elements by their class. For example
will remove top, sidebar and bottom banners from the frontpage of http://www.tennis.com.
So after these exclusions screenshot will look like
There are also more advanced techniques. For example we can exclude elements by specifying rules like
-- means remove everything that has ID that starts with 'google_ads_iframe_'
-- means remove all elements that have class with 'menu-mlid-' inside the name.

Attorney General Kamala Harris issued her report detailing how she is spending $24 million on an enforcement program aimed at taking guns from people who cannot legally possess them.
Despite its successes, the result provided fodder for people who are too willing to criticize legitimate gun control efforts.
Like lawmakers in Washington and several other states, California legislators reacted to the Sandy Hook massacre of 26 children and educators in 2012 by seeking to tighten gun laws. Congress failed to take action, but California approved several measures, including a bill by Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, to spend $24 million to speed investigations of people who illegally possess firearms.
The bill paid for the hiring of additional agents to whittle down the backlog of individuals who are in the inelegantly named Armed Prohibited Person System, a database of people who are registered gun owners but are banned from possessing them because they were subsequently convicted of crimes, were detained for mental illness or became targets of restraining orders.
At the start of 2014, the backlog stood at 21,249 individuals. By the end of March, the number of individuals on the list had fallen to 16,511. That's progress by any measure, for which agents deserve praise.
But responding to Harris' report, Senate Republicans called on Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León to convene an oversight hearing into what they called a "lack of significant progress in clearing the APPS backlog." A budget hearing is set for later this month.
Of course, it'd be great if there were no backlog. But that's hardly realistic. New names are added to the list constantly, including another 7,000 individuals in 2014.
Even at that, state Department of Justice agents increased the number of investigations to 7,573 in 2014, up from 2,148 in 2012, Harris' report said. They investigate the cases at no small risk to themselves, by knocking on the doors of illegal gun owners and asking them to voluntarily hand over their weapons, not a job for the weak of knee.
In a moment of clarity, the National Rifle Association supported the original program when the Legislature approved it in 2001, understanding that mentally ill people and criminals should not be allowed to have guns.
The NRA since has backtracked, filing a suit claiming that no portion of a $24 state fee collected at the point of a firearm purchase should be used to fund the program. U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill of Fresno sided with the state last month, ruling that the fee didn't violate gun owners' Second Amendment rights. An appeal is pending.
Perhaps the program could be done more efficiently, though that could be said about almost any government endeavor. Local police departments could pitch in more by knocking on the doors of people who are suspected of illegally possessing guns.
But at least Harris and Department of Justice agents are trying to remove guns from people who by law are prohibited from possessing them. The success comes no thanks to gun advocates who have gone out of their way to throw monkey wrenches into the process.

Free this, half price that, Two 4 One, Buy One Get One Free, 20% off…
There's no getting away from it, everyone loves a deal! Today, customers from all walks of like are fully engaged with the deals/special offers culture, taking great pleasure and comfort in getting that 'great deal'.
But what's in it for small businesses? Historically, not a lot for some it seems, especially when it means being overloaded with customers paying discounted prices and unable to offer the usual great service and losing the business money to boot because you gave 50% or more away to a 'deal broker'
However, it doesn't have to be like that. Imagine if you could offer an attractive deal or special offer, that…
- Attracts new customers through the door
- Costs just £1 each time a customer buys one
- Is marketed free and available to customers 24/7
- Instantly redeemable using any internet connected device
Miquando local deals have all the upside of the daily deal websites and coupon clipping but none of the downsides by allowing businesses to…
- Get started with no up-front costs
- Run deals & offers for however long you want
- Avoid overloading and the usual operational havoc
- Directly target under used capacity only
- Limit availability – Stop, start or change a deal instantly
- Make a deal/offer profitable
So how do I do it?
1st thing to do is give a little thought to what you want to achieve with an offer. It might be any of the following.
- Increase brand awareness
- Advertise a new product or service
- Boosting sales
- Attract a new set of customers
- Convert new customers to repeat customers
- Increase visits from existing customers
- Using excess stock
- Rewarding customers / buying loyalty
You just add a new service and tick the check box to highlight this as a special offer and add a great image or photo that really sells the offer. If you want, you can limit when customers can book this deal so you are only discounting in quieter periods to help fill spare capacity e.g. a midweek early bird dining offer. To do this, simply add a new resource for this service with limited booking times
Add a new Resource that is only available to be booked between 5:00pm and 6:30pm, Monday to Thursday
That's it – we'll start promoting your deal on the date your new service is set to start (immediately or a future date) and it appears on the relevant regional deals page (e.g. http://miquando.com/deals/isleofman).
Customers both new and existing, local or visitors to the area, are always on the lookout for deals and offers using our regional deals pages. To keep a flow of new visitors, we regularly promote these pages through targeted social media and other online campaigns.
Ready to get started? Give us a call on 01624 640393 or Click Here to send us an email
Still not convinced, look at these independent findings from Technomic's research into online deals….
- 48% of deal buyers used it for a business that they had never tried before
- 25% used for a place that they have visited only once before;
- 67% returned even without a deal;
- 83% recommended the business to their friends and family
- 34% wrote a review
- 25% posted a status on their Facebook page

Inclusivity: Its rising importance in the US fitness market
Jun 26, 2018 | By Emma Griffin
Nov 18, 2011
One of the Active Team's favorite things to do is check out new product…so when ROXY extended an invite to see its Spring/Summer 2012 collection in New York City, we jumped at the chance for a sighting of fresh goods.
The Spring/Summer 2012 line speaks to the quintessential surfer girl that has a bit more edge. Basics, like cute boardshorts move forward with more embellishment including side cutouts and updated tribal prints. We also especially liked the "Baja" themed section from the line with classic hallmarks like woven striped pull over hoodies and cover-ups. And of course, we were beyond thrilled to see Cynthia Rowley's influence for wetsuits, as the collaboration between the two brands continues for yet another season.
Cynthia Rowley x Roxy Spring Suit
What made the experience that much more exciting was that we got the opportunity to sit down with one of ROXY's top female surfers, Rosy Hodge, to talk shop about her top picks of the season, and what she thinks will be "trending" for the ladies.
It was so incredible to have some time with her, as she was literally just about to jet-off on a plane to surf with the rest of ROXY girl's team…get this -> with only the clothes on her body! Rosy calmly explained to us, "I'm not worried, the other girls will lend me their clothes. We all share!"
Hailing from East London, South Africa, some of her favorite breaks are located in Queensberry Bay, South Africa, "Off the Wall" in Hawaii and Biarritz in the South of France. She has always considered herself a true tomboy, but is equally enthused about putting on a cute dress or sexy bikini. Sounds like something we can relate to for sure.
Here are Rosy's top-picks of the Season:
This striped bikini top and neoprene shorties were ideal for her due to the the cut…"they'll stay put and won't ride up when I'm surfing."
Hobo Surf Tiki Back Tri
Glassy Waters Boardshort
The Cynthia Rowley wetsuit is an absolute MUST, after surfing in its previous version from last season.
These Skinny Floods jeans in a tan and crème tribal print are something she plans on wearing…"everyday"
Thanks to ROXY and Rosy for a much needed dose of sunshine and surfing during the very beginning stages of winter here in NYC. – Jessica Kaplan

Human Wrongs Watch
By Robert J. Burrowes*
DAYLESFORD, Australia, 15 May, 2017 – One inevitable outcome of the phenomenal violence we all suffer as children is that most of us live in a state of delusion throughout our lives.
This makes it extraordinarily difficult for accurate information, including vital information about the endangered state of our world and how to respond appropriately, to penetrate the typical human mind.
'Phenomenal violence?' you might ask. 'All of us?' you wonder. Yes, although, tragically, most of this violence goes unrecognised because it is not usually identified as such.
For most people, it is a straightforward task to identify the 'visible' violence that they have suffered and, perhaps, still suffer.
However, virtually no-one is able to identify the profoundly more damaging impact of the 'invisible' and 'utterly invisible' violence that is inflicted on us mercilessly from the day we are born.
So what is this 'invisible' and 'utterly invisible' violence?
'Invisible' violence is the 'little things' that adults do to children every day, partly because they are just 'too busy'. For example, when adults do not allow time to listen to, and value, a child's thoughts and feelings, the child learns to not listen to themSelf thus destroying their internal communication system.
When adults do not let a child say what they want (or ignore them when they do), the child develops communication and behavioural dysfunctionalities as they keep trying to meet their own needs (which, as a basic survival strategy, they are genetically programmed to do).
When adults blame, condemn, insult, mock, embarrass, shame, humiliate, taunt, goad, guilt-trip, deceive, lie to, bribe, blackmail, moralize with and/or judge a child, they both undermine their sense of Self-worth and teach them to blame, condemn, insult, mock, embarrass, shame, humiliate, taunt, goad, guilt-trip, deceive, lie, bribe, blackmail, moralize and/or judge.
The fundamental outcome of being bombarded throughout their childhood by this 'invisible' violence is that the child is utterly overwhelmed by feelings of fear, pain, anger and sadness (among many others).
However, parents, teachers, religious figures and other adults also actively interfere with the expression of these feelings and the behavioural responses that are naturally generated by them and it is this 'utterly invisible' violence that explains why the dysfunctional behavioural outcomes actually occur.
For example, by ignoring a child when they express their feelings, by comforting, reassuring or distracting a child when they express their feelings, by laughing at or ridiculing their feelings, by terrorizing a child into not expressing their feelings (e.g. by screaming at them when they cry or get angry), and/or by violently controlling a behaviour that is generated by their feelings (e.g. by hitting them, restraining them or locking them into a room), the child has no choice but to unconsciously suppress their awareness of these feelings.
However, once a child has been terrorized into suppressing their awareness of their feelings (rather than being allowed to have their feelings and to act on them) the child has also unconsciously suppressed their awareness of the reality that caused these feelings. In brief, this means that the child now lives in a state of delusion.
And because this state was caused by terrorizing the child, the child is unable to perceive the series of delusions in which they now live.
Moreover, unless the child (or, later, adult) consciously feels their fear and terror, it will be extraordinarily difficult for them to perceive anything beyond the delusions that they acquired during childhood.
This is simply because the various elements of the child's delusional state (the 'values', beliefs, attitudes, prejudices, biases) were the ones approved by the key adults – parents, teachers, religious figures – in the child's life.
Needless to say, living in a delusional state has many outcomes that are disastrous for the individual, for society and for nature because the individual will now behave on the basis of their delusions rather than in response to an accurate assessment of all available information through appropriate sensory, emotional, intellectual and conscientious scrutiny. For a full explanation of this process, see 'Why Violence?' and 'Fearless Psychology and Fearful Psychology: Principles and Practice'.
In essence then, the typical human being lives in a delusional state and this state is held in place by enormous, but unconscious, terror: the unfelt and hence unreleased childhood terror of being endlessly threatened and punished (for not complying with parental or other adult 'authority' throughout childhood).
And if you have ever tried to persuade someone, by argument of an intellectual nature, that a belief they hold is inaccurate and wondered why you couldn't get anywhere, it is because you have run into their unconscious terror. And sheer terror beats the best argument in the world 'hands down'.
So when you listen to people like Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen, or ponder those politicians and military generals who conduct endless wars, or watch those people on the street protesting against Muslims and refugees, or watch police beating up another indigenous or black person, or hear someone else deny the climate science, remember that you are witness to a person or people living in a terrified and delusional state that prevents them from perceiving and responding intelligently to reality.
And that, in the case of political and corporate leaders, they only have the support to do what they do because a great many other delusional individuals (including voters and employees) enable them.
Equally importantly, however, it is also necessary to recognise that a delusional state afflicts many of those we like to regard as 'on our side'. It is just that their delusions work differently, perhaps, for example, by making them believe that only token 'make it up as you go along' responses (rather than comprehensive strategies) are necessary if we are to work our way out of the multifaceted crisis in which human society now finds itself.
This is why many 'leaders' of liberation struggles as well as activist movements concerned with ending war(s) and the climate catastrophe, for example, are so unable to articulate appropriately visionary and functional strategies. But the problem afflicts many other 'progressive' social movements as well, which limp along making only occasional or marginal impact, if they have any impact at all.
So what are we to do? Well, the most important thing you can do is to never consciously participate in a delusion, whether your own or that of anyone else. I say 'consciously' of course because unless you identify the delusion, you will not be able to avoid participating in it.
And there are probably few humans in history who have avoided all of the delusions their culture threw at them. If they did, they were probably outcast or killed. Christ, Gandhi and King are reasonably good examples of people in this latter category.
But, historically speaking, many activists have been killed for refusing to participate in elite-promoted delusions. And many others have been marginalised, one way or another, depending on the culture.
The value of not participating in a delusion, whether someone's personal delusion or a widespread social one, arises from the impact you have on those around you: some of these people will have the courage to reflect on your behaviour and reconsider their own.
If you believe you are relatively free of delusion and are committed to taking serious steps to tackle one or more aspects of our multifaceted global crisis, then you are welcome to consider making 'My Promise to Children', and to consider participating in 'The Flame Tree Project to Save Life on Earth', signing the online pledge of 'The People's Charter to Create a Nonviolent World' and/or considering using the strategic framework on one or the other of these two websites for your campaign or liberation struggle: Nonviolent Campaign Strategy and Nonviolent Defense/Liberation Strategy.
Living the truth on a daily basis is a tough road. And it will never come without cost. But living in the comfort of delusion, rather than taking action, is the path of cowards.

The Long Road To Bliss In Progress, by Melissa Littles
The path of enlightenment...
I remember the moment well. I somehow felt as if I were out of my own body, somehow looking in on my life....taking inventory so to speak, and trying to make sense of how I got to that place. Who was she? She certainly wasn't me, and I knew for sure, I hated everything about who she had become. It was a surreal moment, one that marked the beginning that changed everything forever.
My boss was known as the Godfather of Family Law, highly respected in the legal community, feared by all husbands who's wives hired him first, with a reputation of being fierce in the courtroom, leaving nothing but empty checkbooks of broken doctors, lawyers and real estate tycoons in his wake. He was the Senior Partner of the firm, I was his paralegal and it was a big deal. I spent years paying my dues. Years of education, hours upon hours of continuing legal education, extra effort in obtaining my specialties in asset analysis to compliment my accounting degree, and finally it had all paid off. I knew all the lawyers in town, most judges, every court reporter and clerk. I was well respected with a rock solid reputation and I knew, just as they knew, that I knew my stuff. I was confident in my success and I wore it proudly. My boss always introduced me to the new clients the same way..."this is Melissa, she's my right hand, she's extremely knowledgeable in her field, and she will handle everything that I don't." I'll always remember that.
My boss called me to the big conference room that day to do some hand holding. It was part of what made our working partnership mesh so well. He was great at handing out the facts in black and white, drawing bottom lines and assuring the client that when her divorce was final, her husband will have wished he never crossed her. He was not, on the other hand, good at hand holding. He had no patience for the emotional area of divorce. He had no time to waste listening to a woman cry over her failed marriage, her broken dreams and her crushed heart. He knew if there were any legalities coming out of the therapy session which needed his attention, I would pass them along. So I went in, as always, with an available shoulder, an endearing look of sympathy and a voice of reason.
I listened that day, as I always did. As her story unfolded and she told me of the abuse she was suffering, physical, emotional and verbal, I did my job as I always did, I told her his threats to cut her off financially were futile, I assured her that he would not take her children from her and I reassured her that we would help her take her life back. She kept using the word hyprocrite when describing her husband. He had lied to her, he had manipulated her, he promised her he would never hurt her....he always said he hated men like that. He was a total con man, he was nothing in real life what he seemed to be. Hypocrite. I promised her we would be there for her, protect her and get her to the place she deserved to be. As I walked her to the elevator I felt my phone vibrate......again.
I walked as quickly as my feet would carry me, down the long hall, out the back door, into the bathroom inside the stairwell hallway. I quickly checked the stalls as the phone was already dialing his number. 13 missed calls.....21 texts....in just over 40 minutes. As I listened to him begin his usual tirade, calling me a whore, accusations flying of where I had really been, it sure wasn't any meeting with a client. Even though I flushed the toilet to prove I was in the bathroom at work, even though I already texted him the pictures I managed to take of my feet and my client's under the conference room table, he still wouldn't stop. I told him I had to get back to my desk, my boss would be looking for me..."so your boys at work are more important than your husband?" As I tried to fight back the tears I told him I was hanging up. As I picked up my legal pad and pen I looked at the notes I had taken in my meeting, I just stood there, staring at the word I had written, underlined and repeated over and over and over again. Hypocrite.
I look back at all the oh so obvious red flags the were not only raised but waving vehemently in my face from the beginning and to this day I cannot fathom what made me want to see the good in him. I knew better. My entire career revolved around helping women escape from it. I was a cynic. Years of living through others divorces and myself coming out of a ten year relationship which had run its course years before it ended had left me in a state of apathy. But yet for some reason, I manipulated those red flags into submission and lowered them one by one. Perhaps I so desperately wanted and needed something to prove me wrong, perhaps I was tired of my own judgmental, cynical, apathetic frame of mind. Perhaps the scripted yet effective hand holding was lack luster and I was tired of seeing the worst in people. Perhaps I should have given myself more credit from the get go.
He had an excuse for all of his paranoia's. Every excuse had a name. They all did him horribly wrong. It wasn't his fault that I was just like all of them. What was he supposed to think if he called me two, three, four, five times at work and I still didn't answer my phone? There were no meetings that should be more important than him, but that just proved his point. Not giving him access to my law office email accounts had nothing to do with violating a client's privacy, it was just proof I was running all my boyfriends through my email at work. The fact that there were no unaccounted for calls on the cell phone only proved I had secret phones at the office I hid from him. It certainly didn't prove I wasn't calling anyone I shouldn't. By the time I found myself in the bathroom at work that day, looking at that girl in the mirror...the hypocrite...my only thought was how did I allow myself to get here and how will I get myself and this baby I'm carrying out alive.
Abusers spend months, sometimes years "grooming" their victims. By the time the monster emerges they have tied you to the relationship with emotional attachments, they have methodically created an environment in which their victim feels under-minded and powerless to a new level of abuse that has slowly increased and finally erupted. They have prepared for this moment for a long time. And they have banked on the knowledge that they have worked on their victim long enough to be able to execute the control their own insecurities so desperately crave.
It took a months and months of relentless accusations, constant belittling, degrading abuse followed by remorse, regret and promises to finally mentally and emotionally exhaust me. He knew quickly that I would want to prove him wrong, that I would want to show him he didn't have to be this way. It took me months and months to realize this cycle was part of the abuse. The breaking of your spirit, the grooming. The harder you work at proving to your abuser you are worthy of their love, that you are honest and faithful and want nothing more that to build a life and a future with them unlike anything they have dealt with in the past, the harder they will push back to prove you wrong, to show you....you are just like all the others. I know now I am just like all the others, and there was nothing wrong with them either.
My baby saved my life. I have no doubt. I knew I could not change him and I saw the propensity for the physical abuse increasing. I thought being pregnant would be a reprieve from at least the verbal and emotional abuse. He couldn't actually believe an exhausted, overweight, pregnant woman was actually using work as an outlet to have sex with every man in her office building? And now I know he didn't think that at all. It was part of the grooming. Breaking of one's spirit. Unfortunately, he did not account for the fact that women have a tendency to become "Mother Bears" when it comes to their children. He set the stage for the demise of his own plan and as each month of my pregnancy passed, my plan of escape became closer to an obtainable reality.
It took two years, multiple protective orders, 2 separate criminal charges, and two violations of a permanent protective order to finally get a conviction against my abuser that was sufficient to protect me and my child from him forever. The fight after the fact was ten times worse than the year of abuse. It was a relentless, nonstop, 24-7 battle against threats, stalking, harassing, slandering, publicly humiliating and exhausting circumstances. To this day he continues to use the Internet as an outlet to spew his hate, to publicly slander me, my innocent children and my family with lies and falsities that are a disturbing answer to his continued need for control. This is very typical behavior for abusers who's victims have not only gotten out of the relationship, but have continued on to fight their abuser in court. Even after a conviction, abusers will not stop. Abusers know exactly how far they can push before they go to jail. They have a clear understanding of what act will bring a misdemeanor vs. a felony charge either before a conviction or while on probation or even after being incarcerated. They know exactly how miserable they can make your life without ruining theirs. This is why so many victims drop charges to simply try and get some peace. The fear of facing their abuser in Court is often times enough to walk away. The promises from their abuser to "make them pay, ruin them, show everyone what and who you really are" is enough to make many victims find themselves backing down and making deals with their abuser. They won't press charges hoping he will just go away, hoping the embarrassment will stop, hoping for peace. Victims who are planning to get out need to know the truth and need to be prepared to face it and fight it and stay the course no matter how long it takes....for there are no promises kept from your abuser. As soon as you concede, as soon as you resort to deal making, you open the door and let the monster right back in. Regardless of what he tells you or promises you, he will find a way to, in his mind, maintain some form of control. Victims of domestic violence need to know and be reminded by their loved ones and support system that no matter what he says, no matter what he posts online, no matter what the humiliation that may follow the escape....it is worth it to be alive. Victims need to be reminded that his words are a testament to HIS lack of character and speak nothing to the character of the victim. Do not judge a victim who is in the process of leaving, thinking of leaving or dealing with the aftermath of their escape. Be there to embrace them, never looking back, only looking forward to a more promising future. And to the victims who remain strong enough to get through it and get out, be amazed at their strength, do not judge why it took so long. Do not judge what you do not know.
And although another blog for another day, I will just add this. There is life after abuse, and it is good. If you told me then I would have the life I have today, I would have never believed it. I have peace, I have a loving, supportive, wonderful husband to go with my wonderful life. I believe in God, and now I know he had a plan. All along, he was guiding me down a path. As you will continue to hear, it has been quite the journey to Bliss.....and it is still a path of progress.
If you are being abused or know someone being abused, call the National Domestic Violence hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE, or call your local Department of Women and Children's Family Services. There are resources available to victims of domestic violence and professionals who can help you or a loved one with information needed to implement a plan to get out safely.

Research Area P: Principles of information processing for everyday activity
The knowledge about everyday activity from Area H needs to be represented such that it is useful to artificial systems. Research Area P will investigate the representational foundations, reasoning techniques and formalizations of NEEMs, and common knowledge and plans for mastering everyday activity. The aim is to design representation and reasoning mechanisms that capture the intuitions behind human activity. If we map a reasoning problem into the respective formal representation, apply the automated reasoning method to the problem, and consider the semantics of the formally derived result then this ideally should be comparable to the common-
sense reasoning of humans.
Research Area P will advance our understanding and ability to work with the knowledge underlying intelligent everyday behavior. It will feed directly into various control mechanisms for robotic agents as investigated in the context of Research Area R and provide feedback for the research activities in Research Area H.
The goal of Research Area P is to understand the representation and reasoning foundations of information processing methods that enable robotic agents to master everyday activities.

Hi guys,
Sorry for my quietness the last few weeks. I have been very busy and also have had a few problems with editting my photos lately. If anyone has any tips on good programs to use for photo editting please let me know.
So what have I been up to? Well Apart from celebrating my birthday last week, Celebrating Karls this week and also having alot of health issues going on I got to go away last weekend on my annual Inklings Team Weekend Away. This year baby free which was lovely. I had a blast creating with some really talented ladies, getting lots of inspirational ideas, lots of laughs, yummy hot chocolates, no cooking or cleaning, and lots and lots of Stampin' Up product! Was heaven! So I have alot to share with you. Firstly I thought I'd share the card I made for my Card in a Box swap. I wanted to do something fun and different and came up with this gorgeous card. What do you think??
I used the reverse masking technique to create the border of whisper white. I then embossed the tree image from 'Lovely as a tree'. I then masked the moon with a post it note. I sponged the inside of the rectangle with sponge daubers in Night of Navy and Bashful Blue ink. I prefer to use sponge daubers to create this look but you could use whatever you like. Ie. Brayer, sponges, etc. I find rubbing your sponge daubers gives a more even colour and stops you from getting circle patterns from the daubers. I like to work from the middle out to blend the colour. And I like to use lots of colour. The more colour you use the better the effect (in my opinion anyway). If you would like anymore details on this card or would like me to do a tutorial please comment and let me know.
Stamp Set: Lovely as a Tree, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Ink: Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Versamark
Cardstock: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue
Accessories: SAMJ, Clear Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy, Heat Tool, 1 3/8" punch, Bashful Blue grosgrain ribbon, mini glue dots
Thanks for looking, Please come back soon to see what else I made over the weekend and get a peak at some new stuff from the new catalogue

The senior pitcher struck out 19 batters over seven shutout innings to get a May 12 win over Barnum. Schutte also batted 2-for-4 with an RBI in the victory. She struck out 11 while giving up three runs in a loss to Richfield on May 7 and didn't allow an earned run in six innings in a win over Chaska two days later.
Abbey Gapinski, Rochester Lourdes: The senior pitcher didn't allow a hit in five innings in the Eagles' May 7 win over Rochester Century. Two days later, she allowed just two runs on four hits while striking out four in a 3-2 win over Zumbrota-Mazeppa. She then allowed five hits and one earned run in a win over Kasson-Mantorville on May 10.

Simple Life runs two resorts on Koh Tao, both situated along Sairee Beach.
Offers a wide range, from dorm rooms to beachfront villas at the south end of Sairee Beach.
Posted May 11th, 2010 by alex
This afternoon saw the completion of Charlene, Clare, Isabella, Tom, Mike and Rich's PADI Open Water Course here at Simple Life Dive Resort, Koh Tao!
From the very beginning of the dive course the group bonded well and we had a lot of laughs. Squeezing in a couple of nights out on Sairee Beach and scheduling our open water dives for the afternoon session we had a comfortable schedule for the Koh Tao open water course.
During our four open water dives we got to enjoy clear blue water, lots of tropical marine life and scorching sunshine around the Koh Tao dive sites. The weather is perfect at this time of year – hot and sunny and the ocean in the Gulf of Thailand is almost completely flat like a pond. Running this PADI course has been a lot of fun, and the guys turned out as great new PADI divers. Congratulations to all, and keep on diving!
In fact, the posse enjoyed the open water course so much, it looks like we're going to be busy for a few more days with the PADI Advanced Course. Deep diving, night diving with barracuda and them practicing their underwater navigation skills to lead me around the dive site to follow…

How can you find a business opportunity? I get many requests from highly sensitive people who want to be self-employed. Self-employment is a great option for highly sensitive people. It allows you to work at your own pace and be in your best environment. They most requested question I get is… How they can find the best business opportunity?
A business opportunity can be defined as a product or service that is attractive, durable, and timely. This product or service creates or adds value for its buyer or end-user.
Here are some important points for finding a good business opportunity.
* Find a need that isn't being fulfilled. There are gaps that exist in customer needs. Can you meet these needs?
* Conditions are changing. Some examples are governmental regulations, styles, new technology, new trends, etc. Can what you do, tap into this?
* Product benefits and quality are inconsistent, incomplete, and information is lacking in many products and services. Can you improve upon this? Can you differentiate your product or service from your competition? Are there enough reasons why a consumer would buy from you, rather than your competition?
* The product or service that your offering has to be profitable. Can you make enough money to do this?
* Do your personal interests, expertise, and personal temperament fit this opportunity? You have to do a lot of personal soul-searching and gather objective information when analyzing an opportunity. It's important to note that you can try something on a part-time basis to see if this is the right fit for you. Not being afraid of experimenting with various opportunities is the key to finding what's right for you.
How do you find a business opportunity? I'm interested in any thoughts or comments that you have.

Meanwhile, we have endless examples of Muslim terrorists. Can we make blanket statements about the "hypocrisy" in the Muslim world? No. Will the media make endless pronouncements about the hypocrisy in the pro-life movement? You betcha.
Wonder when they will put the muzzl'em violence list online.
And how do we know that these weren't drug deals gone wrong?

Insect Warfare - World Extermination (2007)
Quote:World Extermination, Insect Warfare's only full-length album, is 22 minutes of the purest, dirtiest and thrashiest insanity to manifest from the grindcore scene in recent times. Released in 2007, World Extermination is nothing but a showcase of some truly balls to the wall grindcore...
...repeatedly beating the listener round the face with its brutal sledgehammer sound. In a word, this album is relentless. It refuses to loosen its hold on the audience's eardrums until it is satisfied that they are adequately obliterated, leaving them in a squashed heap inside the listener's head.
The vocalist produces some of the sickest sounds that can possibly be emanated from the human vocal chords. He incorporates a hideous combination of monstrous growls and subhuman screams throughout the album, delivered with an unapologetic level of anger.
World Extermination's lyrical content is focused around the issues of the condition of society and humanity. Once again, the band's opinions are inflicted upon the listener without remorse, slating the state of the world and man's ignorance to his circumstances. The band disparage contemporary society and the cultural obsessions of modern living such as Myspace, along with the way we blindly accept the bias of the corporate dominated world of the media:
"You and all your Myspace friends should get flushed down the toilet."
Drumming on this release certainly won't win any awards for innovation, but the drummer does what this type of album requires. An unyielding barrage of blast beats detonate in the backdrop throughout each track. It wouldn't be a grindcore album without a core of blasting and beating drumming for the rest of the components to mould themselves around. It keeps everything frantic and primitive, which is what every fan of real grindcore supplements their grind diet with.
The guitars are filthy and raw, continuing with the low-pitched tone of the release, grinding, crunching and pounding with a deadly aggression. Scattered with catchy riffing, their main role is to formulate a disordered and chaotic atmosphere: the definitive soundtrack to the World's Extermination.
For me, World Extermination is one of, if not the best grindcore releases in recent years. It fulfills everything that anyone could ever want from a grindcore album, nothing more, nothing less. It's a fundamental addition to any grindcore fan's collection, and highly recommended for fans of ugly metallic music in general. Check it out!

A Planet Money story from NPR that we missed last summer (June 2014) entitled, "When Innocent People Go to Prison, States Pay," provides an excellent overview of compensation for wrongfully convicted exonerees in all fifty states.
Twenty-one states provide no money — though people who are exonerated can sue for damages. Twelve states and the District of Columbia award damages on a case-by-case basis. Another 17 states pay a fixed amount per year of imprisonment.
Amounts vary from $80,000 per year behind bars in Texas, to $5,000 per year in Wisconsin. Florida and six other states match federal compensation of $50,000 per year. Not that any amount could make up for the horror and humiliation of being an innocent person wrongfully convicted and imprisoned, but it is something — especially considering that very few exonerees get any sort of an apology from the state.
Even more appalling, as this article notes, is the fact that states are willing to pony up some limited annual compensation in order to prevent innocent exonerees from suing for much greater amounts. Many states require exonerees to give up the right to sue as a condition of receiving compensation.
At the Innocence Project of Florida our concern is that our state's compensation law has a loophole known as the "clean hands" provision.
961.04 Eligibility for compensation for wrongful incarceration.—A wrongfully incarcerated person is not eligible for compensation under the act if:
(1) Before the person's wrongful conviction and incarceration, the person was convicted of, or pled guilty or nolo contendere to, regardless of adjudication, any felony offense, or a crime committed in another jurisdiction the elements of which would constitute a felony in this state, or a crime committed against the United States which is designated a felony, excluding any delinquency disposition;(2) During the person's wrongful incarceration, the person was convicted of, or pled guilty or nolo contendere to, regardless of adjudication, any felony offense; or(3) During the person's wrongful incarceration, the person was also serving a concurrent sentence for another felony for which the person was not wrongfully convicted.
So not only will a prior felony of petty theft or possession of marijuana make any exoneree, no matter how unjustly he or she was treated, ineligible for compensation, but if the inmate gets caught up in something while in prison–say badly injuring another inmate who has attacked or tried to rape them, they are also ineligible for compensation in the State of Florida.
In the best of all possible worlds, as Voltaire would say, states would show some recognition of and remorse for their mistakes that led to wrongful convictions and incarcerations of innocent men and women. Instead, states begin by putting up roadblocks to protect their convictions, right or wrong, issue no apology to the men and women whose lives they have ruined, and then provide limited compensation to spare them from multi-million dollar lawsuits And Florida adds another insult to the injury with its "clean hands" provision. We ask the convicted to show recognition and remorse for what they have done; it is only fair to expect the states to do likewise.

Hello Capricornio62002, welcome to myBulova. Jewelery seems to be the most treasured of family heirlooms. I think watches are at the top of that list. While rings and necklaces are often flashier and perhaps more valuable, depending on how long he wore this watch you grandfather looked at this watch thousands of times. He lived with it AND by it for years, maybe decades. To me, that is priceless.

text: I am 39 years old with a 57 degree thorasic curve. I have seen several doctors. I am told fusing the whole back is not necessary and I can always return for more surgery to repair problems. But I am concerned about fusing the whole back except the last two vertebraes will really compromise my mobility? The doctor of my choice wants pretty much the back done. I am looking for some opinions as well as good surgeon in Milwaukee/Chicago.
