The Fire Next Time is an example of why many people believe that the media, especially network TV, tilts precipitously to the left.
The two-part miniseries on CBS Sunday and Tuesday night has an overwhelming anti-capitalist, pro-socialist, anti-American tone. This isn`t an entertainment project. It`s a polemic for doom-and-gloom environmentalists.
The theme of the production is the consequences of global warming. Since the threat is a theory, the film would have been fine if it were presented as science fiction. It`s not.
From the scene-setting legend, ``Sometime soon,`` which is accompanied by the dedication, ``For our grandchildren,`` the doomsday scenario depicted is presented as a matter of when, not if.
California is aflame, the heartland has become a desert and the coastal regions are plagued by dead fish washing ashore. Apparently all of this is a result of Americans refusing to stop using deodorants and hair spray.
Everything is so out of kilter, the swallows don`t know when they`re supposed to return to San Juan Capistrano.
Droughts and killer storms are commonplace and schools must be scheduled at night to escape the oppressive heat of the day. There is, of course, not enough energy to provide air conditioning. The overall tone is a rehash of Jimmy Carter`s infamous malaise speech.
The moral is that America`s earth is being scorched as punishment for its past prosperity.
Every character who displays a modicum of intelligence spouts what sounds like passages from the Greenhouse Effect handbook. Anyone who disputes the party line about global warming is depicted as having the savvy of the banjo player in Deliverance. On top of that, they`re probably corrupt.
The Earth`s new garden spot, the nation into which people are risking their lives daily to enter is Canada, because it was so conscientious about managing its natural resources.

A conversation with Miriam Engel, dancerby simone • June 29 2008
Interview, Art, Sports, Things to do
Miriam Engel, a dancer with the Kolben Dance Company, is a born-again Jerusalemite. Born in the city's Beit HaKerem neighborhood, she thought her passion for dance would exile her to Tel-Aviv. After a summer workshop led her to Kolben, Jerusalem's own highly acclaimed modern-dance troupe, Miriam was able to return to the city she has always called home. Founded in 1995 by Amir Kolben, the Kolben Dance Troupe (previously known as Kombina) incorporates theater, music and multi-media art forms into its performances and has been invited to perform in contemporary dance festivals throughout Europe, Africa and the Americas. Next week, the troupe kicks off the 2008 Summer Nights series before setting sail for Cyrpus, where they will perform at the Gonyeli Dance Festival, before returning to Jerusalem for a free performance at the Gerard Bechar Center.
When did you first begin dancing? Where did you train? Dance runs in my family. My grandmother left her native Bulgaria to train and dance in Germany with Grett Palucca at the Palucca School of Dance in Dresden. I first started dancing when I was three. Shortly after my third birthday I announced to my mother that I wanted to dance, so she started sending me to a dance group near our home in Beit HaKerem.
Although I went to a religious girl's high school, we were offered dance classes. After graduating, I danced for a bit with Vertigo (Kolben's neighbor in Nachalot's Gerard Bechar Center) before moving to Kibbutz Gaaton in the Western Galilee, to study at the Kibbutz's Dance Village [home to the acclaimed Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company and the Dance and Ballet School, which offers a four-year accredited study program).How did you become involved with the Kolben Dance Company? When I finished my studies at Kibbutz Gaaton, I moved to Tel Aviv because that's basically where everything was happening, where the arts scene was. I came back to Jerusalem to visit my parents and ended up taking a summer dance class. My teacher told me that Kolben was looking for dancers, they were holding auditions, so I actually called Amir Kolben himself and asked if he was looking for dancers. He was, and I auditioned, and I got the part.
The truth is, I'd actually heard of Mr. Kolben indirectly years before, when I was in high school. One of my high school teachers danced with him and she taught us a lot his signature moves. So, I was familiar with his style years before I joined the troupe.
Professional dance troupes exist in cities across Israel. What does Kolben's location add to its mission/ performances?Jerusalem is a stormy, conflicted place. You're always dealing with conflict here, be it with the Arabs or the charedim. We have to keep the curtains in our studio closed at all times so that we don't disturb the neighborhood's religious residents. But I think the conflict contributes to our art. Also, in Tel Aviv, you have many dance troupes, a wide variety of performance arts. Here, we're one of a select few, so that makes Kolben stand out.
The arts scene in Jerusalem must fight many uphill battles, including a dearth of municipal funding and an assumption that Tel Aviv is the city for culture. What are the benefits of working and dancing in Jerusalem as opposed to Haifa or Tel Aviv? First, I have to say that we feel these challenges. We really do. We can't use our studio on Shabbat, we have a dearth of funds. I'm just a dancer, I don't work in the troupe's administration, and even I feel these problems.
On the other hand, in Tel Aviv everything is similar. All the troupes and performance groups influence one another. Here we're one of a select few and we stand out. We're cut off from other creative influences, which allows us to develop our own modes of expression.
Jerusalem is like one big neighborhood. Everyone knows everyone else. Tel Aviv is very impersonal and that influences the art there. It's a feeling more than something that can be expressed with words. Amir (Kolben) often thought of moving the troupe to Tel Aviv because a lot of the dancers live there but in the end he decided to stay here, the magic of the place affects him too much. Our audience here is like family. The crowd is smaller, it's the same people coming from show to show. We recognize them, they recognize us, it's a great support network.
What do you personally feel are the benefits of working and dancing in Jerusalem as opposed to living and working elsewhere? I really feel like we live in a different world here. The terror attacks, the conflict, they all add to what Jerusalem is. The truth is, there is such as thing as a Jerusalemite and once you're a Jerusalemite you can't fit in anywhere else. A Jerusalemite is a Jerusalemite and there's nothing you can do about it.
When I left Jerusalem to study at Kibbutz Gaaton I thought I'd never come back, I thought I'd move to Tel Aviv like most of my contemporaries. But Tel Aviv always felt like a big party that nobody invited me to. There was too much going on, you always felt like you were missing out on something.
How would you say Kolben Dance is inspired by Jerusalem? How are you personally inspired by Jerusalem? Amir Kolben has a very unique, special style, which I think is very influenced by the city in which he works. He always says there are two kinds of dancers in the troupe, those that come in from Tel Aviv, dance here and then go back to their homes in central Israel and those that move to Jerusalem and start new lives here. Those dancers that move here – myself included – are definitely influenced by the place, and in a way more connected to the dances.
For example, we have one dance, called Interface which deals with homosexuality. In the piece, a group of people begin to yell at one of the dancers, telling him what he's doing is forbidden and wrong. I really think that sort of sentiment still exists in Jerusalem whereas it doesn't really exist in Tel Aviv.
Please tell us about other arts institutions you frequent in the city: your favorite performance ensembles, venues, etc. I need to first mention Machol Shalem (The Shalem Modern Dance Festival), a Festival which was founded by two Jerusalem residents who wanted to create a framework in which to express Jerusalem's creativity. It started off with just one dance and is now a five day festival. You used to have to go to the Suzanne Dellal Center in Tel Aviv for this type of culture and they brought it here to Jerusalem, creating a platform for the capital's young artists.
Apart from that, no real "institution" comes to mind. When I think of places I frequent in the city I mostly think of small cafes and bars. I think that's the beauty of Jerusalem, that you can't talk about institutions but you can talk about small, charming watering-holes like the Marakiya, Bolinat – all Jerusalem's young people go there – and of course, Nocturno, which is right near our studio.

(Reuters) - Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker became the unlikeliest member of an elite scoring club when he erupted for 70 points on Friday against the Boston Celtics.
Just the sixth NBA player to ever reach the scoring mark, Booker joins hallowed players Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, David Thompson, Elgin Baylor and David Robinson.
It was an astounding performance from Booker, a 20-year-old second-year player, and one few could predict coming.
"It's a night I'm going to remember the rest of my life," Booker told reporters.
Phoenix (22-51) fell to Boston 130-120 but Booker stole the limelight with his shooting.
"It's a zone. It's kind of hard to explain. I've been in those zones before, but never to this extent."
Booker, averaging 20.9 points per game entering the night, had never scored as many as 40 points before lighting up the scoreboard Friday.
He made 21 of 40 field goal attempts for the game and tallied 51 points in the second half. Phoenix called late timeouts to give him more shots and the Boston crowd cheered as his total climbed.
"That meant a lot (to be cheered), especially here in Boston. I know how rowdy they can be on opponents sometimes. I respect that."

You've waited your whole life to get to this point. You are a high school senior. Graduation is just around the corner and you still don't have your senior pictures. You struggle with getting them done by a professional because your dad's friend has offered to do them for free. After all, senior pictures are quite expensive…What should you do?
In today's post, I will be discussing how to save money with your senior pictures. You can still get quality images and save yourself some money with a few of these simple tips.
A la carte options are your friends
After doing some research of the market, I found that several photography studios only offered what I consider canned package offers. Most packages had items in them that no one buys anymore. Through trial and error, I decided to offer my services a la carte. A la carte pricing allows my client to choose exactly what they want in their photo session. Now they are not stuck with items that they won't use or that they don't need.
Not all photographers have adopted this pricing style but it never hurts to ask your photographer if they do.
Accessories and Layers
Layering is a girl's best friend. You can create 3 different looks from a unique outer layer, a simple base layer and accessories. Make sure you have 3 different looking "backdrops" and voila-a whole photoshoot with 3 unique looks! I do this all the time with my sessions. When you are on location, it is really hard to change outfits and it takes more time. Simplify your photoshoots and plan accordingly. There is truly no need to have 4 outfits. Plan for 2 but make them layered so you can get several combinations.
Do your own hair and makeup
Hair and makeup add a certain je ne sais quoi to a clients images. A confident client radiates when the camera is on them. This is why I offer this as a service to all my clients. Unfortunately this is an added cost to you.
But I've seen some of your IG's and man, some of you are pros! Can you teach me?! Doing your own makeup is a perfect place for you to save money. I just did a senior session with a girl who did her own makeup and she did awesome! So head over to that Youtube channel and get to practicing!
See if there is a payment plan
Back when I was a teen, I really wanted a car but my parents did not have any money. The only way I was going to get a car was to work it off. We all know how buying a car works. You put a down payment on it, get the keys, and walk away with your car and paperwork that states you promise to make payments on this car.
Guess what? You can do the same for your pictures! I proudly offer a payment plan for my seniors because I remember being a senior and how expensive it is. You want those memories.
Not all photographers will offer this as a payment option but it never hurts to ask.
See, you can still get an amazing set of pictures without breaking the bank. Not all of us can afford the $1000 package and that's ok. I am all about living a life of simplicity while still enjoying some of the finer things in life.
Should you have any questions about my photography or the products I offer, shoot me an email!
Cheers lovelies!


text: Another video here on Christmas Eve waiting for the roast to be done. It's good it's taking longer – I want to read the banquet scene when the meat comes out so I'm polishing off these Act IV scenes one after the other. Such a festive thing to do! As I said in a previous post, if anything it just makes me feel lucky for not having a family of serial killers. Or even folks who don't argue about which one will be the most honorable by chopping off his hand!

The October Country.
In There Was an Old Woman, we meet Aunt Tildy, an elderly woman, who is happy to live her life. So much, that she has decided that she does not believe in death. But on this particular day, a tall, dark young man comes into her home. He does not say anything to her, but his face conveys the conversation she has with him. Accompanying the tall, dark man are four men with a wicker basket. What do they intend to do with it? Aunt Tildy wonders aloud. After a while, the men leave and Aunt Tildy bids them never to return. The look on the face of the tall, dark man says he never intends to.
This story is a strange one. What if you could truly choose not to die? Would you want to live in this life forever? Aunt Tildy doesn't even get married because any man she meets believes in death. She can't bear the thought of living with him 30 or 40 years and then have him die. I, personally, see death as a new part of life. I believe there is more after this life. I wouldn't want to miss out on it. Besides, don't you think Aunt Tildy's life would be sort of lonely? She'd have to meet all new people, make new friends ever 50 years or so. She would end up losing all the people she cares about, just so she could keep on living.
Find out what happens to Aunt Tildy in There Was an Old Woman. What do you think? And, as before, There Was an Old Woman is available on mp3 for purchase at twilightzoneradio.com. Just click on the Bradbury 13 link and you can choose any of the stories. (You won't be disappointed!)

In 1801, Thomas Young proved light was a wave, and overthrew Newton's idea that light was a "corpuscle".
"This is it, our big break in the case," thought Clive as he watched his partner drag the rebellious looking man into the little room they'd designated for interrogations.
"This would be where the whole mess which, had taken place at Boston Harbor a week earlier would be brought to justice and where he and Tom would earn that large sum of money from their contacts over at East India- Ah yes," He thought, "The hard part's over, now all we have to do is make this hot-head talk."
He presumed this would be an easy job for him and his partner; both experienced in the field, inspectors for over 20 years in England, the obvious choices for this kind of job here in the Colonies. Little did he know that Daniel Everberg, the man currently being tied to a chair, was no ordinary subject when it came to questions.
"Here is how this is going to go," began Thomas. "My partner Inspector Birtchwhistle and I will ask you a few questions about the occurrences that happened at the harbor the other night, you will tell us all we want to know, and then if you're lucky we'll let you run back to whatever patriot hovel your colleagues are holed up in. No funny business."
Clive found Thomas' strong statements reassuring, but was instantly disconcerted by the almost gleeful smirk that appeared on the captives' face. "I beg your pardon, sir. But I'm afraid that won't work."
The inspectors exchanged glances. Clive leaned towards the man and said gruffly, "What do you mean it's not going to 'work'? I don't think you're quite aware of the situation, Mr. Everberg." But the young man remained unfazed. Now they'd heard rumors of problematic behavior surrounding Mr. Everberg; tales about how four or five inspectors had questioned him, each failing to gain sufficient information, but they'd always assumed this was due to flaws in technique, errors on the part of the questioner…
However, as they gazed at the calmly smiling man in front of them, they weren't so sure. Thomas broke the silence that followed his partner's statement with a simple question. "Do you know the name and location of the chaps who wrecked the tea in Boston harbor?"
Daniel answered, "Now there's a complicated question."
Clive was shocked and quickly retorted, "What do you mean a complicated question!? Those are yes or no questions. I think we both know the answers here, sonny."
Daniel chuckled as he said, "Well, that'd be something, wouldn't it? Us both knowing the answers to your question. Well, fine. If you really want to know the answer is yes and no and no and yes or something similar to that… I wouldn't expect you to understand."
Clive and Thomas again exchanged glances. Thomas tried again, "So you do know the names of those involved with the incident?"
"Do I know their location?"
"For the sake of this conversation, sure."
"That's a no then. Definitely a no."
"Fine. Then tell us the location and you're free to go."
"Ah, but it's not that simple. You see, I'd rather like to give you the names of the perpetrators, you just need to alter the circumstances to access that information."
"What?" Clive banged his fist on the table as Daniel continued coolly, "Actually you know what? Now I'm certain. I know their names."
Thomas tried to remain calm as his partner fumed, "But a moment ago we asked for location. Let's take this one step at a time. Tell us where they are. Then move on to their identities."
"Where? Oh, I haven't the foggiest, but I've got the names."
Clive had had enough. "We're officers of the law! If you have any information TELL US. This instant."
"I have information. That much is true, but what I know depends on the instant you ask me. And on what else I know. It's quite a complicated situation. I understand your frustration." Thomas and Clive had reached the peak of their irritation. But Daniel continued, "Here let me help you out. If you choose one piece of information I'll give you that, but otherwise I'm afraid I useless."
Clive could not help but cry out, "We need both! The fellows over at the East India Company said they'd only pay us for name and location. Everyone said you knew this stuff!"
"Fine then," Daniel proceeded always maintaining his casual manner, "Location's a bust but let's see if I can help you with those names."
"Alright fine, give us the names then," said Thomas failing to mask his utter incredulity. "Right, there's Henry, James, Benjamin, Edward, Phillip—"
"BOY, DO YOU REALIZE THOSE ARE ALL FIRST NAMES YOU ARE GIVING US?!" Clive burst out; this time slamming his fist so hard he nearly bruised his hand.
"Yes naturally, but I suppose some of them could also be last names, I once had a friend named Penelope James so that one goes both way—"
"And what use would FIRST NAMES be to anyone trying to get ANY type of information about a person?"
"Well, I don't know much about your business, but that's all the information I've got about names right now. I can't get the other part for you. It only works one step at a time, you see. If I have information about one part, I can't get it about the other. Sort of funny isn't it?"
"FUNNY!?!" This time both men yelled and banged their fists. Clive had successfully bruised his hand this time and Thomas was angrier than he had ever been in his entire life, his face turning reddish-purple in frustration.
"Well then," Daniel said grinning, "It seems I've told you all I can. Good luck finding Henry, James, Benjamin, and all the rest!" With that he rose from the chair, apparently freed from the ropes that had held him and with a final satisfied wink he closed the door and vanished leaving two openmouthed inspectors behind.

Ofcom ruled last year that the fees charged by mobile operators for calls on its network should fall by 80% over the next four years. Rates have dropped, but the process has been held up by legal action. Vodafone warned that the cuts would mean higher costs for pay-as-you-go customers. The fees mobile phone firms charge rivals for handling calls from their networks – also known as mobile termination rates (MTRs) – are regarded by some as excessively high. Last year Ofcom reduced the charge from an average of 4.18p to 2.66p and wants to see it fall to just 0.69p by 2015. It said at the time that it hoped the reduced fees would be passed on to customers. But the process has been held up by appeals lodged by Vodafone, Everything Everywhere and O2, who argue that the cuts are too aggressive. Read More/Source: BBC News Share On

I have a new obsession: my new Bundt pan. Well, technically it's an old Bundt pan of my mom's, but it's new to me. And I'm convinced there's no easier way to make a pretty cake. No tricky layers to stack, and the rounded shape makes it simple to decorate with glaze rather than carefully spreading icing. Just add a sprinkle of crushed candy, nuts, or sprinkles, and you've got Instagram gold.
I made my first Bundt cake for a holiday potluck at work using this chocolate-peppermint recipe from Laura at Tutti Dolci. (I think I was craving a peppermint mocha from Starbucks that day, so no other flavor would do.) It rose like a charm and came out of the pan without a hitch. See, look!
I had fun drizzling a simple peppermint glaze over the cake, topping with some crunched-up candy canes, but probably jumped the gun a bit by decorating the day before the potluck. By afternoon at work, the cake had absorbed much of the icing, so it looked a little sad. But hey, lesson learned.
I baked Bundt cake number two—funfetti!—just a week later for a birthday party. (I used this recipe from Olivia at Liv for Cake.) It was a simple vanilla scratch mix, but this one didn't bake quite as beautifully for me as my chocolate-peppermint. Maybe it's because I wasn't quite sure if it was done and stuck a fork in the center too soon (I was out of toothpicks), but there was an air pocket in the center of my ring that really ticked off the perfectionist in me. Still, it removed from the pan easily, and two generous coats of icing and sprinkles turned it into a colorful birthday confection.
Even better, every slice was happily gobbled up at the party, and people told me it tasted good. That's what counts, right? My sister made a heavenly boozy pecan Bundt cake for Christmas, and it only further fueled my love of the fluted tube pan. Needless to say, you can expect more baking reports like these in 2017!
YOUR TURN: What's your most tried-and-true cake recipe? Wanna share?

One of the best uses of Air France/KLM FlyingBlue miles is booking their Promo Awards.
FlyingBlue publishes these every month, and they offer 20-50% off select award tickets on Air France and KLM metal.
Back in the day Promo Awards would consistently be for 50% off and would have a good number of options in business class, though unfortunately they've devalued the promotion somewhat since then, and the discounts are now pretty consistently for 25% off. That's still good, just not as good.
FlyingBlue just published their latest Promo Awards, valid for bookings made between February 1 and February 28, 2017, and for travel between April 1 and May 31, 2017.
FlyingBlue's new February list of Promo awards includes the following 25% off awards between North America and Europe, many of which come with date restrictions within that period:
- Montreal to Europe in KLM business class
- San Francisco to Europe in KLM business class
- Toronto to Europe in Air France or KLM business class
- Boston to Europe in Air France economy (May 1-31 only)
- Cancun to Europe in Air France business class or economy (May 1-31 only)
- Detroit to Europe in Air France economy (May 1-31 only)
With these discounts you'll be paying:
- 18,750 miles one-way in economy class, rather than the usual price of 25,000 miles
- 46,875 miles one-way in business class, rather than the usual price of 62,500 miles
With any of these awards, you can include connections to other points in Europe (including Israel) from Paris and Amsterdam at no additional cost, though you can't include domestic segments on Delta or Alaska to position within North America.
All saver level space on Air France and KLM in the above markets is eligible for the discounted costs, and these awards are bookable directly on the FlyingBlue website. Availability on these routes is excellent, and you should see that all saver award space reflects that pricing.
As you can see, there are four Promo Awards for business class tickets, which I typically think represent the best value. Perhaps the best deal of all is for flights between San Francisco and Amsterdam. Availability is excellent, and usually scoring nonstop business class awards between the West Coast and Europe is difficult, making this an especially good opportunity.
As always, there are plenty of routes outside of North America eligible for Promo Awards as well, so be sure to take a look at the whole list.
Depending on your travel plans these can represent excellent values.
As a reminder, FlyingBlue is transfer partners with Amex Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Citi ThankYou, meaning you can transfer points earned from an assortment of cards:
You can hold your award ticket prior to transferring points by calling the FlyingBlue call center.
Bottom line
Promo Awards are always worth checking out. The list for February looks pretty average, though I do think the San Francisco to Amsterdam discount is especially good, given how tough of an award that can often be to snag.
Availability is generally good in both economy and business class on Promo Award routes (which is why they're available for Promo Awards to begin with) so if you live in one of the eligible markets, I'd seriously consider taking advantage of this promotion.
Is anyone considering one of the Promo Awards on the February list?

(A story with pictures. You can click on the pictures to make them bigger.)
I make a suggestion."Let's go outside and see if we can see the moon now."
"OK, let me get my flip flops." says the assistant. If it has to do with outside, at night, he's ready to go.
"Yep, there it is. Let's see if we can see it better over the trees out in the pasture."
"In the pasture?"the assistant asks.
I answer, "Yea, but wait, we need the camera. And a chair and a towel."
Assistant: "What do you need a towel for? To sit on?"
"No, to rest the camera on." I explained. Half way to the pasture I realize it's getting darker. We might not be able to find our way back in the dark. "Hey go get our flash light so we can see."
"OK, but you sit right there in the chair until I get back. Don't move." he said.
Waiting on the assistant I play with the settings taking pictures of the trees. Here he comes. Light shining every where but wher he's walking, flashing like a strobe light. Now we have to cross the barbed wire fence.
"You go first."I said. Assistant attempts to squeeze between the top two wires and the bottom wire.
"Agghh, I've caught my pajama bottoms." Assistant yells. "Here we go, I got through."
"Here's the chair." I throw the lawn chair over. "I got it." He says and starts dragging it through the field.
I squeeze throught the lines of wire, catching my hair and pulling it free. I look down. there's a snake. Blink. No, it's just a crooked ole stick. Heart returns to normal rate. "OK, I'll take the chair now. Let's go over here towards the middle. Gotta get away from those trees."
"Shine the light over here. Now watch for snakes." remembering the one over by the fence. I set the chair down. Assistant, quick as lighting, sits down in the chair.
"No you can't sit in the chair, it's to prop the camera up on." I said.
"OK, I'll sit down here beside the chair." He swings down out of the chair holding on to the arm.
I take another couple of pictures, then the buzzing starts. "You hear all the skeeters?" I asked. "Yep" he said. "Hurry up"
"Well, let go of the chair. Your going to make my picture all blurry" I hurriedly change the settings up and down, round and round. I finally try the Auto mode. Finanly, I got the color right. I just wish it were closer.
"Arggh, we gotta go. Hurry up the skeeters are eating me" the Assistant cries.
"OK, OK, I can't take it." I jumped up."Run for the fence."
Light goes every where just like a disco ball. "Shine the light where we need to go, please." I begged.
We made it back through the barbed wire fence. No snags. Back at the house, we tended to the whelps on our arms and face.
Out of a dozen or so pictures, only one or two are worth anything. Which only proves the value of digital photography. How else can you take pictures, run back to the house, hook up to your computer and immediately see what was recorded?
I love Digital Photography.
And so the moon is getting fuller by the day and I haven't mastered the perfect aperature and shutter speed. I have also made the determination that the following equipment is necessary for Photographic Adventures chasing the moon.
- Tripod
- Note pad and pencil for recording aperature and shutter settings
- Flashlight, one for your assistant and one for you if you want to see where your going.
- Skeeter repellant
- Chair for Assistant
- Here's a website that shows you a simulation of what phase the moon is at this website: Virtual Reality Moon Phase Pictures (I found this at Short Courses web site)
A long time ago I had the perfect combination figured out on my Minolta SLR. The saying rings true "If you don't use it, you lose it". I haven't used that piece of information in quite a while. Need to write this stuff down. So.......
While I'm re-learning about how to adjust settings on the internet, I have started a link list of Digital Photography How To Sites on my Daily Shots Page for reference when I forget again.
We shall try again, shooting the moon tomorrow night a little more educated.

Through A Lens Darkly
Photographer and filmmaker Thomas Allen Harris bases "Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People" on co-producer and mentor Deborah Willis' book "Reflections in Black: A History of Black Photographers, 1840 to the Present."
In the opening voice-over, James Baldwin asks viewers to "find a Black image in the body politic which is not demeaning." The 90-minute documentary illuminates the entirety of the African-American photographic experience through Harris' own story of family secrets as well as the search to find one's self in images, to negotiate "self-affirmation versus negation" with the "war of images within the American family album."
Photography began in 1839 in France, and Jules Lion, a free man of color, is credited in bringing the daguerreotype to the States to use in his New Orleans studio. The shiny surface of this process was like a mirror where many could see their own images superimposed over proto-photos and so became "authors of their own image" rather that stereotypical slave representations.
Abolitionist activist Sojourner Truth was the first to harness the power of photography, carefully crafting and then selling her self-possessed images to raise funds, saying, "I sell this shadow to support this substance."
Social reformer Frederick Douglass also used his image to accompany his oratory, and, with over 150 portraits made, became one of the most photographed Americans of the 19th century.
Other photographic phenomena such as the W.E.B. Du Bois-curated "A Small Nation of People" exhibit, showing Blacks as people of prosperity and intellect, was sent to the 1900 Paris Exhibition to counteract the zoo-like African colonial displays. Marcus Garvey recruited Harlem Renaissance photographer James Van Der Zee to promote his Universal Negro Improvement Association agenda while 101 female African-American photographers (one of whom was Harris' relative) captured their own points of view.
Photos of African-American soldiers from both world wars showed pride in stark contrast to the ubiquitous lynching photo postcards of the time. Mamie Till's decision to let Jet magazine to publish photos of her murdered -- and horrifically unrecognizable due to his torture and drowning -- son Emmett solidified the power of the photo for communities of color and fomented the civil rights movement months before Rosa Parks sat down.
Many modern Black photographers share recollections of their mentors and their own work, notably Willis' son Hank Willis Thomas, who reflects on the commodification of African-American men with striking pieces such as an Absolut vodka bottle packed with Middle Passage slaves and a whipping scar that looks like the Nike swoosh.
The DVD extras include "Digital Diaspora Family Reunion," bonus shorts and biographies. The music is by Miles Jay and Living Colour's Vernon Reid, and this poignant piece should be required viewing to elucidate a largely ignored part of history.

Just Barely Tolerable
Any additional comments?
Strings of the Heart (SOTH) was initially a good read considering it's third in a series and I haven't read any of the other books. Not reading the other books was deliberately done as with most of these series, the author goes out of their way to make sure the reader knows what happened to the other characters. As predicted, ad nauseam in fact, the author kept the reader abreast of the characters from the other books in the series. That said, after the initial scene (i.e. the 'morning wood' discussion was a superfluous way to integrate characters from the previous book), the book progressed well from Alison's point of view. However, SOTH began to peter out after Alison and Rhys got together as the reason for their not being together was thin at best. Also, Alison's brother Jake (who is also the lead character of the first Runaway Train book and Rhys' band mate) is a ridiculous character - he's a hypocritical bully that insists on controlling the behavior of every other male character when it comes to Alison, and every other character is totally fine with it. Jake hooked up with Abby and her brothers had no choice but to accept it, yet he is irrationally upset whenever a male talks to his sister because she's 'his' baby sister. Another minor annoyance was Jake and Rhys referring to Alison by her childhood nickname...it was an obvious vehicle used by the author to show Jake's affection for Alison...which ironically he had no problem dropping when he called her a whore for hooking up with Rhys. Honestly, the only reason I got SOTH was because Luke Daniels was the narrator, and as expected I really enjoyed his narration given the material he had to work with. Also, Justine O. Keef was an excellent narrator...her southern twang came across as natural and subtle...she really brought Alison's character to life. Overall, I'd say skip the entire Runaway Train series, but as I've only read SOTH I'll narrow my opinion to this book...avoid my mistake and skip this at times cliché riddled band drama.

Katie Ashley is still Rocking our hearts
Would you listen to Strings of the Heart again? Why?
Yes -- I would listen to Strings of the Heart as well as the rest of Runaway Train Series. The books are great -- the audio is outstanding
What was one of the most memorable moments of Strings of the Heart?
There is no way to pick out just one memorable moment -- I loved all of the moments -- Katie Ashley has a way of drawing you into the story where you are so immersed it is like a series of neverending moments and Luke and Justine deliver the audio exactly the same way -- keeping you on the edge of your seat ready for more.
What about Luke Daniels and Justine O. Keef 's performance did you like?
I have listened to quite a few pieces of work from Luke and Justine. They are both awesome -- bringing voices to the faces in the book.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"Strumming my pain with his fingers"

Last week (14 - 16 February, 2012) I attended the Dev8D developer conference with Damian Steer. The conference is primarily aimed at developers working in Higher Education, but also attracts developers from other sectors and some indies as well. Calling it a conference doesn't really do it justice, since there is a mix of invited speakers, delegates offering talks, workshops and tutorials. The event is free for the attendee and is funded by JISC and other sponsors. The Professional Development Group of IT Services at the University of Bristol were kind enough to fund my travel, accommodation and subsistence.
This year the format changed slightly with less lightning talks and the ability for people to offer sessions on whiteboards. In the afternoon, those sessions that attracted the most interest went ahead - you put a mark next to a session you were interested in with a marker pen. As you would expect, the quality of the sessions varied but the net gain of learning new technologies and talking to other developers outweighed any minus points. In fact, Dev8D promotes voting with your feet - if a session isn't what you expect or too easy, leave and find another session.
On the first day I attended Alex Bilbie's (@alexbilbie) session on HTML5. I've already used some HTML5 with m.bristol.ac.uk but it was good to see an overview of the various changes to HTML5, the tags available and examples of where to use them.
I also attended the Pearson Education session on their Developer API, which includes access to FT Press, DK Eyewitness Travel Guides and Longman Dictionary. The API travel guide looks particularly interesting if you wanted data from one of the cities they cover. The dictionary also includes multimedia content for certain words, so could be used in Flash card type applications for kids. I think Pearson are still working on the pricing framework since the API call limit doesn't seem high for some APIs like the dictionary and would become expensive quickly.
On the first day I also attended the Jorum session. I wanted to learn a little more about learning repositories. Mimas are working on proving a RESTful API over Jorum which uses DSpace. The Jorum team have a challenge to create "applications that demonstrate useful, innovative, original use the Jorum DSpace Read API for the benefit of HE and FE". I was initially interested in this, but it looks like the team have a lot of work to make the API scalable since a call can return more information than you need. For example, I sent a query for information on a community - it returned ~65,000 lines of JSON. This was for too much data for my poor brain to parse and work out what would be relevant for further API requests.
The end of the first day was marred by breaking my glasses and I missed the morning of the second day due to being at an opticians getting a new pair.
When I got back to the event I attended a session on The JLern Experiment and related programming challenge. This is around a JISC Learning Registry Node which is attempting to create a community of creators, publishers, curators and consumers. I need to read more information about The Learning Registry project and the idea of capturing 'paradata' around a learning resource. In this sense, 'paradata' refers to activity data around an item, such as feedback, rankings and usage data.
I was interested in the Introductory and Advanced session on CoffeeScript by Jack Franklin. The few slides and then a programming challenge certainly made me concentrate :-). I never enjoy writing JavaScript and I thought CoffeeScript might be a useful approach. CoffeeScript is a language that compiles to JavaScript and has removed braces and semicolons and indentations are important. So, the following JavaScript …
1 2 3
… can be written like this in CoffeeScript:
It seems fairly clean although verbosity in languages doesn't usually bother me - I like Java and Objective C :-). I'm going to spend sometime learning CoffeeScript over the next few weeks and have bought Trevor Burnham's CoffeeScript: Accelerated JavaScript Development. If I become confident in using the language I'll offer to talk about it for one of our internal tech talks.
On the second day I also went to a really informative session by Owen Stephens and Thomas Meehan on library data. I've started accessing library data for the m-biblio and they provided a really useful session on MARC and why library catalogues provide the information in a certain format. The session was a rich mine of information on systems, tools and formats.
The third day was busy attending sessions, looking in the project zone and catching up with some developers who hadn't been able to attend the earlier days of the event. I attended a session on ePub but the exercises including creating a basic epub book by hand but that involved copying XML off a number of powerpoint slides. It was interesting to see what constitutes the epub format but you'd definitely create one with tools such as KindleGen 2 or iBooks Author. Damian and I also managed to have a whirlwind visit to the British Library to see a number of exhibits, including 'Manga: Professor Munakata's British Museum adventure'.
One exciting development of the three days was finding out that Wilbert Kraan (@wilm) of Cetis uses Glint, the SPARQL client application that I wrote for OS X. I really need to find some time to fix some bugs and develop the application further!
I would highly recommend Dev8D to other developers in the HEI community. There are many interesting talks and sessions and, with several parallel tracks, the hardest thing is deciding what to attend.

Electricity Consumption Estimation Methods
- Details

Quite a few societies bill the residents for the grid electricity or DG Back-up electricity or both. They deploy electricity meters to get the meter readings and measure the monthly or bi-monthly consumption. Sometimes the meters go bad (the display goes bad, calibration goes bad or meter gets burnt etc.). This requires a process of consumption estimation.

I am subscribed to quite a lot of blogs. It seems I can never read enough stuff. So I want to share with you guys some of these blogs.
I am not going to put in huge name blogs like ProBlogger, because I wanna try to expand your blog horizons. Some of these blogs have thousands of subscribers and some have closer to 10, but in my opinion they are all great blogs. A lot of these are comluv enabled too, so you can get a free backlink. So here are some recent blog posts of 20 blogs that I am subscribed to, in no particular order:
|1. ViperChill
|ViperChill is Glen Allsopp's blog where he just writes about what he does. Glen makes literally thousands of dollars per month, and shares how he does it on his blog. His blog isn't even monetized! (Aside from his book, Cloud Living) He has a great tone to his writing, and really believe that anyone can achieve what he has with hard work and dedication. Watch this kid, he is going places.
|2. Website In A Weekend
|This site has so much great information. I always find myself searching Google for something and ending up on one of Dave's pages.

|4. The InfoPreneur
|If you haven't heard of TheInfoPreneur, then listen up! This blog is great. James updates it at least twice a day with amazing content. He is your average Joe sort of guy who works 40 hours a week at his day job, and every minute besides that on his blog. He is also one of the few bloggers to frequently post video posts. James is a really smart guy, read a few of his posts and you will be hooked.
|5. Ben Lang
|Ben Lang is a 16-year-old kid who has wisdom beyond his years. He has been interview by Newspapers, TV news shows, and tons of bloggers. He really makes me wish I could go back and start blogging when I was 16 years old. The information he shares is great if you are a young entrepreneur like I am.
|6. Famous Bloggers
|Famous bloggers is a site where a bunch of great bloggers get together and post awesome articles. These guys really know their stuff, so anytime a new article is posted you know it is going to be a good one. If you haven't yet heard of Famous Blogger, then you have been missing out!

|Jay at Dat Money writes great content. There is nothing more to it than that: He writes great content and not in a boring way. He has gained a lot of readers from this, and I am one!
|8. Erin Blaskie
|Erin Blaskie is like wonder woman. It seems like she knows everything about everything. She runs a VA assistant business, writes ebooks in matters of hours, has a self-proclaimed love affair with internet marketing, and as far as I can tell a social media wiz. She is definitely one to look out for.
|9. Get Your Biz Savvy
|Get Your Biz Savvy has a great team of writers who really inspire me to do entrepreneurial stuff every time I read a post. They also have an interview every week with a successful entrepreneur. The site does not focus on blogging in particular, but business in general. This blog is a good read!
|10. Experiments In Passive Income
|Moon is a cool chick. She is determined to make a passive income so she can travel to wherever her heart desires. Her posts are awesome, she is either showing you a useful tool, giving you some blogging tips, or updating us on a way to make a passive income. She really does write great, in-depth articles, so go check them out!
|11. Blogussion
|Blogussion is one of the go to blogs for young entrepreneurs (It is also great if you aren't quite considered young anymore).

Randy Bachman
Released: 1996
Randy's 1996 solo album Merge is a testament to his ability to write and perform lasting hits. The centerpiece of the 12-track album is a song titled Made In Canada which was performed with the one and only Neil Young. This 10-minute song, captured in one take, was recorded at Young's sprawling ranch studio north of San Francisco. Of the track, Bachman enthuses... "The song was over at four minutes, but then Neil launched into this solo that's like Hendrix burning his guitar at Monterey." Merge, which features Bachman's son Tal playing drums, piano, guitar and accordion, literally merges his ongoing interests in numerous forms of rock music... Bachman comments: "Growing up in the prairie town of Winnipeg, Manitoba, I heard all kinds of great music late at night on my little rocket radio. Over the years I have had so many musical influences that they are impossible to name. These new songs I played in the styles of many of my heroes."

The overall IVF program pregnancy rate for the same period was 32.1%. Logistic regression analysis was performed emphasizing the positive contribution of hypnosis to the IVF/ET conception rates.
This study suggests that the use of hypnosis during embryo transfer may significantly improve the IVF/ET cycle outcome in terms of increased implantation and increased clinical pregnancy rates.
In addition, it appeared that the patients' attitude toward the treatment was more positive and favorable among the hypnosis group.

I realize this may seem out of context for new readers. Here is an earlier post
The other night I turned to G and said "remember when you were a kid and you thought your parents were such sellouts? Didn't they care about the brink of nuclear war or acid rain or the fact that our reproductive rights were in jeopardy? What the fuck was wrong with them — bustling about making dinner and reading their stupid books and going through the days so apathetically. We weren't them. We were going to do something. Be something. Be different. We were never going to be them." And then I put a pillow over my head with a degree of self loathing that I haven't felt in a really long time.
There are the tiniest of moments: when I take a china coffee cup from the sideboard and my hands reach out for it and for a moment they are my grandmother's hands and I understand her in a way, a direct transmission, a lifted veil, a fold in time — how much she wanted or how much she felt hemmed in by uncontrollable things. My grandmother knew me even in childhood, even with how little she saw me — she saw something of herself in me — that I was a thinker, a mind first and foremost, that I had a steely and stubborn resolve — my own mother is embodied — she lives in the physical world — but me? I've always lived inside of my head. I asked my mother a few weeks ago — in talking about Z and her temperament as she adjusts to school — and I asked my mother if I was that way — so overwhelmed by social stimulation as to sometimes seem to physically withdraw — and she paused and said " you. You were always very. Self contained."
I was and remain self contained. There have been years where being in this space has been filled with promise, my mind a productive whirring of what it could churn out, what it could busy itself with, what it might create — and there were a few dark years where all my mind did was scramble around, clawing at the walls shouting at me (in a tightly controlled hysterical shout/whisper of course) that didn't I understand there was nothing beneath us and by the way it was a long descent. Good luck with that.
And then there is now. My mind has just been silent since May 24th when I sat at the feet of my best friend, holding her right bare foot, when she died. I escaped to her. I try to explain to my husband — a wonderful, kind and ridiculously stable man from a really solid family; he understands but the sympathy and the empathy — the sympathy sees it from a distance — and the empathy is inside it — yes, I know what its like to be that abandoned and terrified girl, that child who, had she more anger than the need to please, would have ended up sleeping under bridges — to be so completely alone — no extended family to call on, no one but a mother sunk deep in her own grief and rage — and how dark the world was — and she came into it. We were twelve. In her eulogy her father spoke of how she was a ray of light, lightness in everyone's life who knew her — transcending what words we use or what we do — the very heart of who she was — light.
It was her birthday yesterday. She would have been 42. I cried on the phone to her mother. She was my touchstone. From the moment we met I saw the world and wondered what she would make of it. I am realizing that I will never be the same person I was before May 24th. I can't believe how often my brain returns to her, something to tell her, something she should know.
In a way I feel a strange calmness. It was one of the worst things I could imagine ever happening — after my father's murder that shadowed my childhood all I could fear was that the people I loved most would continually be taken from me — that I would continue to live life alone and lonely — that I would be unsheltered.
Last April we drove around Lake of the Isles — the branches heavy with a spring snowstorm. As children we'd skated at night on the rink there — the lights from the mansions throwing squares of light onto the snow — and we'd walked around there so many days of our life, these city lakes, this city I ran from and returned to — and we drove away from Louise Erdrich's bookstore, she was in pain and exhausted, walking like an 80 year old woman. I told her as we drove how my life had changed, and publishing was changing, and all the dreams were changing.
As we neared her house I said that I used to think I would be a failure if I never became "that person" — you know the writer with the accolades and the well-reviewed books of literary fiction, the small office at some liberal arts college but I didn't feel that way anymore — and she said "I know its a deep question and wer'e almost home but why do you think that is" — and she had that tone in her voice where she knew why… but she also knew that this exchange was something I needed, something she needed — "because of you." I said "because of your illness. I used to think that if I accomplished 'x' I would be happy, and now I realize that the only thing that matters, " and I clasped her hand 'the only thing that matters is how we love one another."
I can't seem to summon much energy to think about work or much else other than the day to day needs of my family. I do know that I will have to figure out a way to access joy again — and maybe through that — a return to writing, but for now there's just this.
When she was sick I joined a support group of caregivers and women fighting cancer. In my mailbox yesterday there was a link to a thread of how one woman's husband wasn't supporting her in the way she needed. People wrote about how often we don't know how to respond to illness, what to say, what to do. Words of support streamed in. And one woman wrote that her husband never cried in front of her but that she would look out to the window, to the garden, and see him there, sobbing.
We are so fragile and don't know how to reach one another.
But in those few sentences that woman has left something behind that has lodged in my heart, that I've held onto in my own grief — and that is the best of what words can do.

Tag Rugby Tournament
The Eagles tag rugby team enjoyed mixed fortunes at the County mixed rugby tournament. Despite trying very hard in hot, testing
conditions we came fifth in our pool and did not progress to the finals. We did however win two games and were the victims of some bad luck in an especially difficult pool. The children conducted themselves admirably and showed some great skills and potential for next year! Thank you to Mr Major who looked after (and coached them!) on the day.

|M3 Lee
| Spoiler warning!
This Wiki contains detailed information regarding the Girls und Panzer universe.
Proceed with Caution!
- "We have two guns and they got only one each, so it's even!"
- ―Yuuki Utsugi
The Medium M3 Tank was an American medium tank, it had different names depending on their turret pattern; American patterns were called M3 Lee in honor of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, while British patterns were called M3 Grant in honor of Union General and 18th President of the U.S. Ulysses S. Grant. In the anime, the M3 Lee was featured in a flash-forward in Episode 1, and first appeared in Episode 2.
A bit of history
The Medium M3 Tank was a tank whose design began in 1940. The production of this tank was caused by the perceived need of the U.S. Army for a tank armed with a 75 mm gun, as existing M2 Tanks had an obsolete 37 mm gun, and the development of a model with a 75-mm gun in a rotating turret would have forced an intolerable delay; therefore, an interim design with such a gun in a sponson was accepted.
The Medium M3s were quickly mass-produced and many were supplied to the United Kingdom, as its army in the Western Desert urgently needed improved tanks to face the Axis forces there; their design was odd-looking, with a huge, tall silhouette imposed by its Wright (Continental) R975 EC2 air-cooled engine, a reliable derivative from an aeronautic model. They sported a hull mounted 75 mm gun, a 37 mm gun in a small rotating turret and a machine-gun mounted on the turret.
They first saw action in the North African campaign, becoming a nasty surprise for the Axis forces. Thanks to their 75 mm gun, it performed well against Panzer IIIs, Panzer IVs (with the short gun) and Fiat M13/40, and was appreciated by its solid performance and overall reliability, although the limited main gun traverse and the large silhouette were serious tactical disadvantages that could be taken advantage of by a prepared enemy.
But not until 1942, with the finished design and mass-produce of M4 Sherman, and the appearance of new and improved Axis tanks (like the Panzer IV "lang" or the Italian Semovente da 75/18), was the M3 Lee began to be withdrawn from frontline duties; it was officially declared obsolete in 1944.
The M3 Lee was supplied also to the USSR, where however it proved unpopular for its above-mentioned flaws, even more, serious against a better-equipped enemy (which led to Soviet crews to gave it the nickname "coffin for seven brothers"). On other fronts, like the Pacific, with limited enemy tank activity, it continued to serve successfully for the remainder of the war.
One important variant was the M7 Priest with a 105 mm howitzer, which gave unparalleled artillery support during the Second World War and served different countries after the war. Several M3 were captured by the Germans and used under designation Panzerkampfwagen M3 747(a) Medium Tank.
In Girls und Panzer
An M3 Lee is discovered by, and afterward assigned to the Rabbit Team, and was painted pink before the training match against St. Gloriana Girls College; immediately after, it was returned to its standard paint scheme.
This tank, being hampered by its drawbacks, and having a decidedly inexperienced crew, got off to a rough start from the beginning. During the match against St. Gloriana Girls College, it was taken down after being abandoned. Against Saunders University High School it was the initial target of Saunders' attack and was taken out by their Sherman Firefly. Against Anzio, it was shown taking down two of Anzio's Semoventi. In the match against Pravda it managed to survive until taken out by their IS-2, while covering Ooarai's flag tank. Only against Kuromorimine Girls Academy did this tank really shine, taking advantage of their opponents' reduced maneuverability, it took out two of Kuromorimine's most deadly tank destroyers, the Elefant tank destroyer with a rear shot, and then managed to cause the defeat of the massive Jagdtiger, while being thrown out of the battle themselves. Without those kills, Leopon Team's attempt to isolate Kuromorimine's flag tank would not have lasted that long.
In the manga M3 Lee's path is relatively unchanged except during the match against Anzio where it took down a CV.33 and a M13/40 before becoming the first victim of Anchovy's Carro Armato P40.
Der Film
During the match against St. Gloriana/Pravda when the match took a wrong turn for Ooarai/Chi-Ha-Tan, the M3 tried to release some pressure on Miho's Panzer IV by attempting to repeat their "Heavy Tank Killer" tactics they did to the Jagdtiger in the Championship finals against the IS-2. Unfortunately for them the IS-2 with its more powerful engine managed to get the M3 from out of its blind spot and get rid of the "light" tank.
During the match against the All-Stars University Team, while nearly all remnant Ooarai tanks was surrounded at the park amphitheater, a disoriented M3 Lee was separated from the group during the total panic retreat when the All-Stars University Team stormed into the park with the T28 Super-Heavy Tank as a shield, finding themselves near a ferris wheel that was on a hill overlooking the amphitheater. They managed to break the encirclement by destroying the ferris wheel's support sending it tumbling through the All-Stars University Team formations, opening a gap that allowed Ooarai's tanks to escape. After that the M3 Lee took down two Chaffee tanks on the rollercoaster that sandwished Anzio's CV.33 just before it was knocked out by the Centurion.
Fierce Fight! It's the Maginot Battle!
Rabbit Team's M3 Lee took part in the mock up match against Maginot Girls' Academy where it immobilized Galette's B1 Bis by shooting the air duct (B1 Bis' "Legendary" weak point) and Fondue's SOMUA S35 after Miho shot down Eclair's one.
Gekkan Senshado Magazine
Koala Forest High School owns at least two M3 Grant tanks and fielded them against Viking Fisheries High School.

Opinio Juris and the Trump Presidency
A couple of weeks ago a group of Opinio Juris bloggers held a round-table discussion at St. John's University Law School about the international law and policy issues facing the next American President. In front of a full room, we considered issues ranging from relations with China and Russia, to the future of national security policy, human rights, international trade agreements and the UN. We fielded questions from the audience, went past our scheduled closing time, and still had not answered all the questions in the room. It was clear that there is a need and a desire for intelligent discussion on these and other issues of international law and U.S. policy. There were, and are, significant questions of law and policy before the American public.
Now we know who the next President will be. Sustained and informed commentary about international law and the United States' role in the world has never been more relevant. We founded Opinio Juris as a forum for engaged and intelligent discussion on a broad range of international legal issues. We have fostered a dialogue with voices from varying political, legal, and national perspectives. Among the hundreds (if not thousands) of issues we have covered, we have had commentary by sitting Department of State Legal Advisers on Bush Administration policies in the War on Terror and also concerning the U.S. operation against Osama Bin Laden during the Obama Administration, as well as expert observations from the negotiations in Paris leading to the climate change agreement (see, for example, 1 and 2), examinations of the development of international criminal law, analyses of the work of international courts and tribunals, emerging technologies and international law, and conversations about U.S. policy on the conflict in Syria. For the last eleven years we have tried to reflect upon the breadth and depth of international law and policy.
As the U.S. begins its transition into what will be the Trump Administration, we will continue to provide commentary that is informed by expertise in international law and is engaged with the policy debates of our time. A brief scan of the list of initiatives Donald Trump listed in October as the priorities for his first 100 days in office is full of international legal implications. He stated that on his first day in office, among other things:
* FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205
* SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
* THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator
* FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately…
* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure
Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
* FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama
* SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
* THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities
* FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back
* FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
This is only part of the list. For example, other statements from President-elect Trump or his surrogates have concerned whether the new administration would honor U.S. obligations under the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law, the future of NATO, and commitments to address climate change, to take three examples. As the transition proceeds and President-elect Trump's actual agenda takes shape, we will assess and address the international legal issues implicated by his proposals and stances. More generally, we will continue to thoughtfully consider the expansive international legal and policy issues facing the U.S. We hope to add to an informed public discourse.
We started this website as a forum for debate and discussion about international law and policy. Almost 10,000 posts later, this conversation has never been more important and we look forward to hearing what you have to say in the days and weeks to come.

The summation of his policies like this really drives home the havoc he's about to wreck in the China shop that is the world of international relations..
To break PIL has allways been an option. The US have a long history of doing this. But I doubt that he will do this very much. He had a very interesting idea of an international conference on spheres of influence, non-intervention into other powers regions. This sounds like Carl Schmitt but does this make him wrong? He cannot be a great POTUS without peace. History is open!!
Greetings from Venezuela
I also think that it's important to include that President Trump will have the nuclear codes. According to his conduct during the campaign, he – maybe- will threat other States, by using the nuclear weapons,
violating in this sense, the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.
One of the worst actions it's the cancellation of money in payments to U.N. climate change programs. That actions it's completely against the Paris agreement.
