Critical Mass went really well this week. We had roughly 70 people ride and a really fun post-ride bike art showing and potluck at the Flying Monkey arts center. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen and thanks to everyone who participated. It was really hard to get photos of so many people while riding so most of my shots are from the party. I think it's safe to say that as the night went on, it got a little silly. Anyhow, if you want a copy of a photo or have more to post, please email me. Sorry the pics are displayed in reverse order - i don't feel like reloading all of them right now.

Guiding students toward earning their diploma is the goal of every school. For those students eager to graduate but wanting or needing to complete a class your school may not offer, Indiana Virtual School can provide these courses for your students in a timely and cost-effective manner.
From AP courses, unique electives or credit recovery, we can provide the courses your students may need to enhance their academic record and reach their goal of graduating.
With the Indiana Virtual School (INVS) Partner Program, students remain enrolled with your school and take only the course or courses you determine necessary but may not currently offer. All courses are IDOE and NCAA standards-approved. You may have your teachers direct the course or have INVS teachers do so. If you opt to use your teachers, INVS will pay them a per student/per course/per month stipend
We offer a per-course student rate, allowing students to stay on track with their academic plans and graduating with their classmates.
Superintendents select the Partner Program option that works best for their needs – utilizing INVS teachers or your own. You submit student/course information to the INVS Student Services team, the course is assigned and students have twelve weeks to complete the course. Upon completion, the course is finalized, grade assigned and a full report provided to your designated program manager.
Prices are per student, per course, per semester.Single Student
Schools complete the sign-up for their students, not the parent or student, giving you control of the course. You select courses for students and can initiate the process here. Our Student Services team will complete the process and provide registration/login information to you.
The Partner Program is designed to assist Superintendents and their schools with unique student course needs. Our team will work directly with you and your staff to provide a solution that works. We consider this a 'team' effort with one common goal: see students succeed and graduate!

Want to Be a Social Media Manager? 7 Ways to Get Noticed — And Hired
Ten years ago, this job didn't exist! Here are seven tips from the pros to help you prep for an exciting career as a social media manager.
Just a few years ago, it was hard to believe anyone could have an entire career managing social media. Twitter and Facebook — those were things that you did in your spare time. Even forward-thinking companies simply delegated their social page management to an intern.
Social media management has come a long way, with companies large and small realizing the importance of having a pro keep tabs on their social streams. And that means big opportunities for savvy digital natives.
Here are seven tips for building your career as a social media manager, from pros who have done it themselves: (Click here to tweet this list of tips.)
1. Network, network, network
"When I think about my current crop of clients, every one was [gained by] word of mouth," says Amy Rogers Nazarov, a freelance writer who manages Facebook pages for three small businesses. Two of those clients were friends with Nazarov for years before they hired her to run their Facebook pages.
"And my third client [is] a realtor who went to her neighborhood listserv and said, I'm looking for someone who can teach me how to use social media for my business," Nazarov explains. "A third party saw it and shot it over to me. So every one of these clients came out of a friendship."
Just as in any industry, who you know is sometimes more important than what you know. Referrals account for 40 percent of hires nationwide, so make sure you're spending as much time meeting people as you are in front of your computer, honing your skills.
2. Study hard, but think outside the box
Marissa Bialecki majored in psychology, but she now has a full-time position managing social media for a group of restaurants in the Washington, D.C. area.
Even as a psych major, Bialecki knew that communications or journalism was her calling, which is why she also double-minored in Spanish and journalism.
"A couple of my professors were like, 'Why aren't you majoring in journalism?' I felt like I could get everything I wanted from the journalism program [as part of the minor]. The way I figured it is, there are certain principles of psychology in marketing. It can't hurt."
Now that Bialecki manages the social accounts for restaurants with very different personalities, she says she thinks of each restaurant as a person. "If they were a person, how would they talk?"
Now that's using that psych degree.
3. Practice what you preach
"This may seem like a no-brainer, but make sure you're active on social media yourself," says Amy Reinink, freelance writer and social media manager for a wellness company. "Develop a following and share relevant content on Twitter, Google +, Facebook, Instagram and other social channels to show potential clients that you know what you're doing."
Bialecki, in a previous job, used Pinterest to collect a series of social media marketing infographics that were useful to her but also helped show off her smarts to prospective employers.
4. Earn and demonstrate trust
"If I were hiring someone to join my team for social media, I would be looking for a decent sort of track record and trust," Bialecki says. "Giving someone the keys to social media is huge, because it's public facing. So just showing that someone has trusted you at some point in a job — whether it's social media or a public facing newsletter, or an email blast that goes out to the entire company — something that shows you've been able to exercise good judgment."
Not sure where to start building that trust? Local nonprofits and charitable organizations are always looking for help. A few hours a week promoting their efforts on social media could help you build your resume in a flash.
5. Create solutions first
"Developing the voice [of their brand] is not something that has occurred to any of them, but it is something I see as essential," Nazarov says. By proactively creating solutions you'll establish yourself as an expert that they can't live without.
Before she landed her first client, Nazarov sent more than 50 sample posts, which wowed him enough to sign her.
6. Become an expert
"If you have a field you're passionate about, learn everything you can about it, and establish yourself as a subject-matter expert by sharing interesting, relevant content on that topic," Reinink says. "It's a competitive field, and retweeting the same two stories everyone else is sharing won't get you far in the eyes of clients."
In other words, on Twitter, links are currency. The better the links, the more valuable you are.
7. Don't feel like you have to master every platform
"I think it's important to keep up with the new things rolling out — I think they're really cool. I haven't figured out how I would use [everything] for my field. At the same time it's important to pick and choose," Bialecki advises.
"This other woman I know [in social media marketing] uses Snapchat. I see no point in Snapchat for a brand. I don't get it, I don't get why I would want it as a consumer from a brand. I do not understand it, and I don't have the time to be on another social media platform," Bialecki says.
"Same thing with when Vine came out, everyone was like, 'Get on Vine.' For me, my gut was like, 'It's six seconds. that doesn't feel like enough time for me. And I'm pretty sure Instagram's gonna roll out video anyway.'"
Are you a social media pro? What tips would you add to this list?

16th Madurai Film Festival 2014
Homage : Films by Shubhradeep Chakravorty
"Two hours and twenty seven minutes long En Dino Muzaffarnagar by Shubhradeep Chakravorty & Meera Chaudhary is going to be recorded in the history as the first documentary film banned under prime minister Modi. Gagging order came on 30th June. Today we applied in Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) for redressal of our grievances. We will not go down without a fight. Lets hope for the best…"
- Shubhradeep Chakravorty on his facebook page on 30th July 2014.
- Shubhradeep Chakravorty on his facebook page on 30th July 2014.
Shubhradeep bid bye to all of us, as a result of a fatal brain hemorrhage that started its trail on 11th August 2014 and finally took his life at 7am on the 25th August 2014 at Delhi's AIIMS hospital.
Hope in the midst of crisis and courage amidst fear were the hallmark of the political activist, Shubhradeep - the journalist who turned to documentary filmmaking after Gujarat's one-sided communal carnage in 2002. His first documentary, 'Godhra Tak: The Terror Trail', screening at Ahmedabad in 2003 was attacked by the VHP who threatened him to quit film making. This incident only affirmed his resolve to get into full-time documentary film making. All his completed documentaries engaged broadly with the issues of communalism and fascism propagated by the right wing Hindutwa forces. Much before the very acclaimed feature film 'Shahid' hit the theatres, Shubradeep had documented the state involvement in the killing of the defense lawyer Shahid Azmi in terror related cases ('Out of Court Settlement') and his other documentary ('After the Storm') looked into the lives of the innocent Muslim youth who were jailed for years under terror cases, laws and later acquitted.
His life and work actually demonstrated a terrific taste for dissent and clarity about the role of a biased state. He honestly engaged in the journey for humanity's struggle for justice and peace. His associations with various social movements and human rights initiatives brought a different angle to the medium in which issues can be articulated.
Shubhradeep and his partner Meera's new film En Dino Muzaffarnagar did not get the Censor Certificate and in the days that led to the fatal brain hemorrhage, Shubhradeep was overworked about the indirect ban by the Modi regime. It is evident from his midnight posts on social media that he was worked up. The state decision to curb his democratic right to dissent, in his case through his films, had definitely affected him very badly. The unfortunate outcome is that they managed to get more than what they thought… They got the film and the Director at one go...
As it stands, 'En Dino Muzaffarnagar', cannot be screened in public spaces.
As comrades and co-travellers of Shubhradeep, his life and films should be celebrated in the days to come, by actually occupying the spaces which the right wing fascists are grabbing from all of us.
Shubhradeep Filmography
His first independent documentary film was Godhra Tak: the Terror Trail (2003, 62 mins, English). It is an investigative documentation of the barbaric incident of 27 Feb 2002, in which coach S6 of Sabermati Express was burnt down at Godhra railway station in Gujarat, India. Fifty-nine passengers including several Karsevaks died in that fire. The film tries to find out what actually happened at Godhra railway station on that day and how far the allegation of a conspiracy is true. This incident was used to start anti Muslim riots in Gujarat in 2002. U C Banerjee commsission was said to be set up after the then Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav convinced with the findings of the film.
In 2008 he finished his second documentary film 'Encountered on Saffron Agenda?'( 2008, 94mins , English) a film based on investigative documentation of encounters of Sameer Khan Pathan (22 October, 2002), Sadik Jamal (13 January, 2003), Ishrat Jahan-Javed Seikh (16 June, 2004) and Shorabuddin Seikh (26 November, 2005), all happened in Gujarat. Those killed in them were said to have on a mission to kill the Chief Minister Narendra Modi who had allegedly organised the 2002 genocide of Muslims in the state after Godhra train burning incident. Film tries to find out the truth behind Police stories and politics of encounters in Gujarat. The present investigations in the following cases are on the same lines as shown in the documentary
His latest documentary was 'En dino muzaffarnagar' Co directed with his wife Meera Chaudhary in 2014. It's a 2hr 27 mins feature length film and was made in the period of 8-9 months after the riots in UP.
In 2012 he came out with third documentary film 'Out of Court Settlement' ( 2012, 66 mins, English) It is based on the tales of killings, beating up and intimidation of several defence lawyers across the countries that were appearing in terror related cases. This documentary tries to put forth the ensuing danger to rule of law in the country because of such incidents. There are cases of murders of renowned lawyers Shahid Azmi and Naushad Kashmji.
The forth one is 'After the Storm' ( 2012, 68 mins, English) and is based on stories of seven former terror accused who secured acquittal through various law courts in past few years. The film narrates their ordeal and miseries and shed light on their current fight for survival. This film actually built the ground for the debate and dialogue on concerned issue. This film actually provided a much needed storm to the issue of protection of Muslim youth as it has become a movement of sort and many positive judgements have come up on the same by the Supreme Court judges and Home ministry.
Synopsis of En Dino Muzaffarnagar (2014,2 hr 27 mins, English)
Muzaffarnagar is barely 128 kms away from India's national capital Delhi and had faced riots first time in its history. Interestingly, the phenomenon of riots in villages is completely new for the whole region. This riot was anti-Muslim and more than 60 people died and 42000 people displaced in the process.
Once known as City of Love, Muzaffarnagar is now known for riots that took place there on September, 2013. Documentary 'En Dino Muzaffarnagar 'investigates the situation before, during and after the riots in great details to portray how Muzaffarnagar faced riots last year, how the politics of hate is being engineered by the politicians for their own benefit and how the divide created by the riots has set the tone of the elections at that time.
The story unfolds with the graphic depiction of events starting with the introduction of the culture of agrarian society of western Uttar Pradesh. The film presents Ragini, folk songs that are thoughtful observation of the politics of Delhi, Plight of Girls and farmers of the region. It engages audience with its unique conversational style of Interviews. And sounds like the novels of Leo Tolstoy which are characterized by numerous characters , plots and subplots woven together in a manner that while the main plot moves forward you keep forgetting smaller characters.
En Dino Muzaffarnagar is a story of grief, hate and fear that shows how local power politics turns the pages of the history to rewrite it. It's a tale of how the loss of the grief stricken farmers can't be justified with few vested interests playing the power games Film shows that during the riots good sense prevailed too. There are positive stories in the film where Hindu-Muslim harmony and brotherhood is at best. It is thought provoking to see what they did during the riots to save human lives and what their outlook towards the whole situation is.
For the first time this documentary unravels the so called 'Love Jehad' angle used as a tool in inciting hate crimes among communities. . A minor incident of eve teasing sparked the riot and everybody including the bureaucracy, security agencies, the police administration, political parties and its leadership, State and the Central Governments were caught unaware. Actually the preparation for a large-scale violent eruption was ongoing for quite some time. In UP, which is considered as the most important state for parliamentary elections because it contributes 80 seats
On 16th of May 2014, results of Indian parliamentary elections were declared. Rightwing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies swept the polls. BJP won 73 seats out of 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh including Muzaffarnagar and Kairana (Shamli) seats. Narendra Modi became 15th Prime Minister of India with one out of four BJP Members of Parliament coming from Uttar Pradesh. Divide created by the Muzaffarnagar riots paid off.

One can land in just about any chapter of the Gospels and discover first hand what the twelve experienced with Jesus as they followed Him on a daily basis. It entails quite a different set of activities from what most modern disciples routinely experience.
In my quiet time these days I have been slowly going through Matthew's Gospel. Take a look at some of the things the disciples go through with Jesus in just a couple of pages (chapters 8 and 9) ...
- going through a storm and nearly losing their lives
- watching Jesus perform a miracle of calming the winds and sea
- coming out of the storm only to face demon-possessed men (fringe/marginal people)
- pigs running off a cliff and the locals traumatized
- people begging you to leave their region (being unwelcome)
- forgiving sins in Jesus Name (are we supposed to do this kind of thing?)
- healing paralytics (those unable to walk on their own)
- confronting religious opposition for doing what is good and right
- identifying with sinners and outcasts of society (the non-church folks)
- calling on sinners to leave what they are doing and follow Christ
- going to a party, eating/drinking with non-followers of Christ
- being given a lesson on mercy and what that means by seeing it first hand
- being questioned about religious practices and traditions and answering
- healing a sick woman
- raising a dead child
- healing the blind
- driving out more demons
- going from town to town teaching in synagogues
- preaching Good News of the Kingdom
- healing every disease and sickness
- having compassion for the crowds
- instructing disciples to pray for laborers
- pointing out the abundant harvest to disciples
I am struck that these first followers of Christ spent so much time healing the sick and demon possessed. Yes, there is also the preaching, teaching element of discipleship, but a lot of time was spent healing and ministering to the sick and oppressed. How much of my time is spent in these kinds of activities? How much of the above list would characterize my own walk as a follower of Jesus? How about your own?

Connect with your audience and win big: Ellusionist announces video contest
UPDATE: There is a rules Q&A thread here on the Ellusionist forums. Questions will be answered there, not in this post. See ya there!
If you have followed Ellusionist for any amount of time, you know there's one thing we consistently preach, harp about, champion, praise and wish there was much more of: AUDIENCE INTERACTION.
Don't get us wrong: Showing your chops in a Web cam session is cool. You can get a lot of good feedback. But how many of us bust our butts to get out and perform our art in front of living, breathing people? That's what this is all about, and we have just the contest to get you out there.
Do you have what it takes to be crowed as E's PERFORMANCE CHAMPION? We think you do.
In a nutshell: Grab a buddy and have them film you perform an effect or routine. You can start out with a fancy intro if you want, but the meat is the performance. A pool of judges, including Brad Christian and Justin Miller, will judge the entries and pick The best routine will be named Ellusionist Performance Champion for 2009. And that title comes with some incredible goods, including:
- 24 Arcane decks, Ellusionist's new custom deck of playing cards. We'll make sure you get some of each color.
- A rare, precision-cut Porper clip featuring the Arcane ace. There won't be a lot of these floating around.
- A $100 shopping spree at Ellusionist.com. Stock up on books, supplies or scoop up that new hotness you've been eyeing.
- Your video will appear all over the place on Ellusionist's Web site and social networking sites. We're talking on our YouTube channel, Facebook page, front page of the site and more.
- If we like what we see, you may see yourself on Ellusionist more than you know….
Ready to perform? Good. Here's the rules:
- Entrants of the contest must be members of the Ellusionist forums in good standing (That means you're not banned). Elites and Moderators are eligible, but staff members are not. That means Joe Hadsall's gothic sponge bunnies routine doesn't stand a chance.
- Your video MUST INCLUDE AT LEAST TWO GENUINE AUDIENCE MEMBERS! Trust us: We'll catch stooges and plants.
- You can enter as many as THREE videos.
- Your video must include at least one product produced or taught by Ellusionist. That can be a deck of Ghosts, or Ringtone. It can be Two Card Monte, or a double lift. We're looking for either an Ellusionist signature product or an effect taught and/or made by an Ellusionist artist.
- Maximum video time is 10 minutes. (That means if your routine is so long that it takes multiple parts to post, it's too long.) There is no minimum time.
- The video must have been filmed no earlier than May 20, 2009.
- The person submitting the video must be the person performing in the video.
- Only one performer can be featured in a video.
- Videos must be submitted to the Member Videos forum on forums.ellusionist.com, and must abide by that forum's submission policies.
- Basic video effects will be allowed. You can produce a fancypants graphic introduction if you want. HOWEVER: The routine must be featured in ONE CONTINUOUS TAKE. Videos that feature breakaway edits will be frowned upon by judges.
- MOST IMPORATNT: We'll say it again, this is about how you CONNECT with your spectators. Your chops and skills are exciting, what we're looking for is your ability to leave your spectators with that unforgettable feeling.
So, how will we pick the winner? Glad you asked:
- Judges will review entries as they are posted. (Remember, with judges including Justin Miller and Brad Christian, you'd better bring your A-Game)
- As with many performance-based competitions, judging will be subjective. They will look for a performer's charisma, patter and/or presentation, creativity and execution.
- Video production and quality will also play a part. You won't need an expensive camera, but you won't want to film this on your cell phone, either.
Get out there. Drop some jaws. Record said jaws dropping. And claim your prize. Good luck!

* Q3 adj EBIT falls 15 pct y/y
* CEO cites price competition, higher costs
* Shares fall 3 pct (Adds comments, background)
HELSINKI, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Finnish elevator maker Kone reported on Thursday that its quarterly profits fell more than expected due to intense price competition in China as well as higher labour and material costs.
The highly competitive industry, including Switzerland's Schindler, Germany's ThyssenKrupp and U.S. Otis, has struggled in the past years with falling installations in China, which is by far the world's biggest elevator market.
Third-quarter adjusted operating profit fell 15 percent from a year ago to 274 million euros ($313 million), missing analysts' average expectation of 308 million euros in a Reuters poll.
"The development of our adjusted EBIT margin was clearly unsatisfactory," Kone's chief executive Henrik Ehrnrooth said in a statement.
"Profitability continued to be burdened by several factors, such as the intense price competition over the past years and increased costs. Recent geopolitical tensions also had a negative impact on our result," he added.
Kone lowered its full-year profit forecast to a range of 1.10-1.15 billion euros from a previous outlook of 1.10-1.20 billion euros, partly due to a larger impact from unfavourable foreign exchange rates.
The company added that it expects pressure on profits to ease towards the end of the year as a result of pricing and productivity actions that have already been taken.
The company is cutting jobs around the world with an aim to save about 100 million euros annually by 2020.
Shares in the company fell 3.2 percent by 1024 GMT. ($1 = 0.8763 euros) (Reporting by Anne Kauranen, editing by Jussi Rosendahl)

a former Russian ambassador, said on Al jazeera Arabic on Sunday, August 10, 2008 , "Israel supplied and trained Georgia in the Conflict, he spoke in detail about the Israeli connection and reasons being outwardly Oil & Gas but it is strategic Control of the region", he was cut off then later returned and did not mention Israel again. The former ambassador 's Israel Mention was omitted from the English report.
The South Ossetian government is claiming that the Georgian government employed mercenaries in their attack on the city of Tskhinvali.
Authorities in the unrecognized republic of South Ossetia claim that dark-skinned mercenaries took part in the attack on Tskhinvali, reports RIA Novosti, citing representative of the South Ossetian president in Russia Dmitry Medoev. He said there were bodies of many Georgian soldiers on the streets on Tskhinvali. "There were blacks among the dead, who were probably either mercenaries or instructors in the Georgian armed forces," Medoev said.
Wait, it gets better.
Old Blackwater keep on rollin'?
In a phone interview with Russian media, the South Ossetian representative in Moscow indicated that the Georgian government has been employing foreign nationals in the fighting. In addition to the two black soldiers described above, they are suggesting that the lead tanks in the attack were crewed by Ukrainians.
If either of these charges is accurate, then the its likely that the conflict is going to grow more complex. The involvement of Ukrainian soldiers would threaten to involve that country in the fighting. Much of the eastern third of Ukraine is ethnically Russian and desires greater ties with Moscow not the West. One of the most visible aspects of that is the use of Russian, not Ukrainian as the language they prefer to communicate in. The map below shows the results of a 2003 KIIS (Kiev Institute of International Sociology) survey of language preference in the country.
There's a Russian speaking swath here that extends from Kharkov and Donetsk in the East all the way west to the Moldovan breakaway region of Transnistria. The Ukrainian government looks on Moscow with a wary because of this, and ethnic intrigue is a core part of Ukrainian politics. The have a reason to avoid allowing the Russians to set a precedent that they may act to protect ethnic enclaves in CIS states.
While the last thing that the world needs is a conflict in which the former Soviet Republics form into rival, armed blocs, I'm much more concerned about the possibility that Blackwater might have been involved in the Georgian attack. While the the South Ossetian representative in Moscow suggests that the bodies of dead soldiers were black, an interview by Russian media with a first hand observer suggests that there was a misunderstanding.
(Skip to 10 min 30 secs, and yes I have to give Alex Jones a hat tip for a lot of the info in this section of my diary.)
In the video above a women being interviewed in Tskhinvali tells the reporter that:
There are also bodies over there. People that have been killed, mostly Ossetians, but also Georgians that had American emblems on the forearms and they were in black uniforms.
I was suspicious when I first heard this story, because it came from Infowars. However this checks out. It seems very, very likely that there are Blackwater personnel fighting in Georgia against Russian soldiers. This is so wrong in so many ways.
First, this has the potential to involved the United States in a fight against the choosing of our elected government because a bunch of *censored*wits want to go play soldier of fortune. If they are in fact Blackwater, why they hell are they wearing American emblems. What right do they have to claim the protection of the US government while fighting in a war to which we are not a party?
Actually, this sort of makes me happy, because at this point thy officially meet the legal definition of something that we've always know them to be: Mercenaries.
Let me explain.
The privatization of military force is one of my areas of interest. It's another symptom of the horrible type of capitalism that our society has been infected by. As the title of one book title called it "Everything for Sale."
There is no room for the sacred, and the use of lethal force is such a great threat to the preservation of human life that there must be strict limits on its use. There must be rules, not the vague incentives of the market. And ultimately it' a small twist of the law that has turned the Blackwater corporation into a criminal entity. The same twist of the law that allowed them to avoid the fate of Sandline, Executive Outcomes, and the other mercenary organizations that operated in Africa during the 1990's.
International law is very specific in defining whom is a mercenary and thus does not have the rights of a lawful combatant. Article 47 of Protocol I (1977)to the Geneva Conventions
Art 47. Mercenaries
1. A mercenary shall not have the right to be a combatant or a prisoner of war.
2. A mercenary is any person who:
(a) is specially recruited locally or abroad in order to fight in an armed conflict;
(b) does, in fact, take a direct part in the hostilities;
(c) is motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a Party to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar ranks and functions in the armed forces of that Party;
(d) is neither a national of a Party to the conflict nor a resident of territory controlled by a Party to the conflict;
(e) is not a member of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict; and
(f) has not been sent by a State which is not a Party to the conflict on official duty as a member of its armed forces.
Blackwater and the other Private Security Corporations operating in Iraq have only been able to avoid designation as a mercenary organization as the result of a very specific section of this definition. Article 47 (2) d: "is neither a national of a Party to the conflict nor a resident of territory controlled by a Party to the conflict."
At the beginning of the Iraq War, Blackwater and other firms got themselves into trouble because they had hired a bunch of ex security forces guys from South Africa and Chile. Those individuals met the definition of mercenaries, but the firm itself being American (yes, I know that they aren't officially headquartered in the US) was in the clear.
The US was a party to the Iraq War. If it is in fact true that Blackwater is sending US nationals to fight in Georgia on behalf of the Georgian government, then they've crossed the line. They have become mercenaries, because they are "neither a national of a Party to the conflict nor a resident of territory controlled by a Party to the conflict."
Maybe old Blackwater ain't going to keep on rolling away after all.
In opening itself to the charge of being a mercenary organization it may become what is none as Hostis humani generis.
Hostis humani generis (Latin for "enemy of mankind") is a legal term of art, originating from the admiralty law, and referring to the peculiar status, before the public international law, of maritime pirates, since time immemorial, and slavers, since the 18th century. It is also used in the present to describe the status of torturers….
It is considered an offense of universal jurisdiction, such that any state may board and seize a ship engaged in piracy, and any state may try a pirate and impose sanctions according to that state's own law. Piracy is defined in Article 101 of the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea, and the 1958 Convention on the High Seas also regulates this exercise of jurisdiction. Under the same principles, these treaties, as well as the customary international law, allow states to act similarly against slavers on the high seas.
This has been the legal justification offered by the Bush administration for why prisoners at Guatanamo are not to be afforded the status of prisoners of war.
If Blackwater is operating in Georgia, their personnel are not going to have legal status are combatants. Being mercenaries, they are unlawful combatants, and thus hold the same legal status that the US applies to Al Qaeda.
And while I don't think that there's case law against a mercenary firm, I think that a strong case can be made that the Blackwater corporation must face the same charges that apply to those they appear to have sent to fight in Georgia.
Do you think that the Bush Admnistration will take appropriate action?
Israel backs Georgia in Caspian Oil Pipeline Battle with Russia
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
August 8, 2008, 4:26 PM (GMT+02:00)
Georgian tanks and infantry, aided by Israeli military advisers, captured the capital of breakaway South Ossetia, Tskhinvali, early Friday, Aug. 8, bringing the Georgian-Russian conflict over the province to a military climax.
Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin threatened a "military response."
Former Soviet Georgia called up its military reserves after Russian warplanes bombed its new positions in the renegade province.
In Moscow's first response to the fall of Tskhinvali, president Dimitry Medvedev ordered the Russian army to prepare for a national emergency after calling the UN Security Council into emergency session early Friday.
Reinforcements were rushed to the Russian "peacekeeping force" present in the region to support the separatists.
Georgian tanks entered the capital after heavy overnight heavy aerial strikes, in which dozens of people were killed.
Lado Gurgenidze, Georgia's prime minister, said on Friday that Georgia will continue its military operation in South Ossetia until a "durable peace" is reached. "As soon as a durable peace takes hold we need to move forward with dialogue and peaceful negotiations."
DEBKAfile's geopolitical experts note that on the surface level, the Russians are backing the separatists of S. Ossetia and neighboring Abkhazia as payback for the strengthening of American influence in tiny Georgia and its 4.5 million inhabitants. However, more immediately, the conflict has been sparked by the race for control over the pipelines carrying oil and gas out of the Caspian region.
The Russians may just bear with the pro-US Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili's ambition to bring his country into NATO. But they draw a heavy line against his plans and those of Western oil companies, including Israeli firms, to route the oil routes from Azerbaijan and the gas lines from Turkmenistan, which transit Georgia, through Turkey instead of hooking them up to Russian pipelines.
Saakashvili need only back away from this plan for Moscow to ditch the two provinces' revolt against Tbilisi. As long as he sticks to his guns, South Ossetia and Abkhazia will wage separatist wars.
DEBKAfile discloses Israel's interest in the conflict from its exclusive military sources:
Jerusalem owns a strong interest in Caspian oil and gas pipelines reach the Turkish terminal port of Ceyhan, rather than the Russian network. Intense negotiations are afoot between Israel Turkey, Georgia, Turkmenistan and Azarbaijan for pipelines to reach Turkey and thence to Israel's oil terminal at Ashkelon and on to its Red Sea port of Eilat. From there, supertankers can carry the gas and oil to the Far East through the Indian Ocean.
Aware of Moscow's sensitivity on the oil question, Israel offered Russia a stake in the project but was rejected.
Last year, the Georgian president commissioned from private Israeli security firms several hundred military advisers, estimated at up to 1,000, to train the Georgian armed forces in commando, air, sea, armored and artillery combat tactics. They also offer instruction on military intelligence and security for the central regime. Tbilisi also purchased weapons, intelligence and electronic warfare systems from Israel.
These advisers were undoubtedly deeply involved in the Georgian army's preparations to conquer the South Ossetian capital Friday.
In recent weeks, Moscow has repeatedly demanded that Jerusalem halt its military assistance to Georgia, finally threatening a crisis in bilateral relations. Israel responded by saying that the only assistance rendered Tbilisi was "defensive."
This has not gone down well in the Kremlin. Therefore, as the military crisis intensifies in South Ossetia, Moscow may be expected to punish Israel for its intervention.
Russia seizes Georgia base, opens second front
Russia opened a second front of fighting in Georgia on Monday, sending armored vehicles beyond two breakaway provinces and seizing a military base and police stations in the country's west, the Georgian government and a Russian official said.
The new forays into Georgia – even as Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili on signed a cease-fire pledge – appeared to show Russian determination to subdue the small, U.S.-backed country, which has been pressing for NATO membership.
The latest developments indicate that Russian troops have invaded Georgia proper from the separatist province of Abkhazia while most Georgian forces are locked up in fighting around another breakaway region of South Ossetia.
The West has sharply criticized Russia's military response to Georgia's attack on South Ossetia as disproportionate, and the world's seven largest economic powers urged Russia on Monday to accept an immediate cease-fire and agree to international mediation.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her colleagues from the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations spoke by telephone and pledged their support for a negotiated solution to the conflict that has been raging since Friday between the former Soviet state and Russia, a State Department official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the call had not yet been formally announced.
Nana Intskerveli, the Georgian Defense Ministry's spokeswoman, said Russian armored personnel carriers rolled into the base in Senaki, about 20 miles inland from the Black Sea port of Poti.
Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said Russian forces also took over police stations in the town of Zugdidi – about 20 miles from the base and also outside Abkhazia.
In Moscow, a government official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to give his name, confirmed the move into Senaki and said it was intended to prevent Georgian troops from concentrating.
The move followed Russia's warning to Georgian forces west of Abkhazia to lay down arms or face a Russian military action. Senaki is located about 30 miles east of the Inguri River, which separates Abkhazia from Georgia proper.

Russia opens new front, drives deeper into Georgia
By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA and DAVID NOWAK
Associated Press Writers
Russian tanks roared deep into Georgia on Monday, launching a new western front in the conflict, and Russian planes staged air raids that sent people screaming and fleeing for cover in some towns.
The escalating warfare brought sharp words from President Bush, who pressed Moscow to accept an immediate cease-fire and pull its troops out to avert a "dramatic and brutal escalation" of violence in the former Soviet republic.
Russian forces for the first time moved well outside the two restive, pro-Russian provinces claimed by Georgia that lie at the heart of the dispute. An Associated Press reporter saw Russian troops in control of government buildings in this town just miles from the frontier and Russian troops were reported in nearby Senaki.
Georgia's president said his country had been sliced in half with the capture of a critical highway crossroads near the central city of Gori, and Russian warplanes launched new air raids across the country.
The Russian Defense Ministry, through news agencies, denied it had captured Gori and also denied any intentions to advance on the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
The western assault expanded the days-old war beyond the central breakaway region of South Ossetia, where a crackdown by Georgia last week drew a military response from Russia.
While most Georgian forces were still busy fighting there, Russian troops opened the western attack by invading from a second separatist province, Abkhazia, that occupies Georgia's coastal northwest arm.
Russian forces moved into Senaki, 20 miles inland from the Black Sea, and seized police stations in Zugdidi, just outside the southern fringe of Abkhazia. Abkhazian allies took control of the nearby village of Kurga, according to witnesses and Georgian officials.
U.N. officials B. Lynn Pascoe and Edmond Mulet in New York, speaking at an emergency Security Council meeting asked for by Georgia, also confirmed that Russian troops have driven well beyond South Ossetia and Abkhazia, U.N. diplomats said on condition of anonymity because it was a closed session. They said Russian airborne troops were not meeting any resistance while taking control of Georgia's Senaki army base.
"A full military invasion of Georgia is going on," Georgian Ambassador Irakli Alasania told reporters later. "Now I think Security Council has to act."
France also circulated a draft resolution calling for the "cessation of hostilities, and the complete withdrawal of Russian and Georgian forces" to prior positions. The council is expected to take up the draft proposal Tuesday.
The Georgian president, Mikhail Saakashvili, told CNN late Monday that Russian forces were cleansing Abkhazia of ethnic Georgians.
"I directly accuse Russia of ethnic cleansing," he said. At the U.N. on Friday, each side accused the other of ethnic cleansing.
By late Monday, Russian news agencies, citing the Defense Ministry, said troops had left Senaki "after liquidating the danger," but did not give details.
Early Tuesday, Russia's Interfax news agency reported that separatist troops in Abkhazia started an operation to push Georgian forces out of the northern Kodori Gorge, the only area of Abkhazia still under Georgian control. Interfax reported that Abkhazia defense headquarters said the offensive began about 2 a.m.
The new Russia assault came despite a claim earlier in the day by a top Russian general that Russia had no plans to enter undisputed Georgian territory.
Saakashvili earlier told a national security meeting Russia had also taken central Gori, which its on Georgia's only east-west highway, cutting off the eastern half of the nation from the western Black Sea coast.
But the news agency Interfax cited a Russian Defense Ministry official as denying Gori was captured. Attempts to reach Gori residents by telephone late Monday did not go through.
Fighting also raged Monday around Tskhinvali, the capital of the separatist province of South Ossetia.
Even as Saakashvili signed a cease-fire pledge Monday with European mediators, Russia flexed its military muscle and appeared determined to subdue the small U.S. ally, which has been pressing for NATO membership.
"The bombs that are falling on us, they have an inscription on them: This is for NATO. This is for the U.S.," Saakashvili told CNN.
Russia's massive and multi-pronged offensive has drawn wide criticism from the West, but Russia has rejected calls for a cease-fire and said it was acted to protect its citizens. Most residents of the separatist regions have Russian passports.
In Zugdidi, an AP reporter saw five or six Russian soldiers posted outside an Interior Ministry building. Several tanks and other armored vehicles were moving through the town but the streets were nearly deserted. Shops, restaurants and banks were shut down.
In the city of Gori, an AP reporter heard artillery fire and Georgian soldiers warned locals to get out because Russian tanks were approaching. Hundreds of terrified residents fled toward Tbilisi, many trying to flag down passing cars.
An AP film crew saw Georgian tanks and military vehicles speeding along the road from Gori to Tbilisi. Firing began and people ran for cover. Cars could be seen in flames along the side of the road.
Both provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia have run their own affairs without international recognition since fighting to split from Georgia in the early 1990, and both have close ties with Moscow.
When Georgia began its offensive to regain control over South Ossetia, the Russian response was swift and overpowering – thousands of troops and tanks poured in.
Georgia had pledged a cease-fire, but it rang hollow Monday. An AP reporter saw a small group of Georgian fighters open fire on a column of Russian and Ossetian military vehicles outside Tskhinvali, triggering a 30-minute battle. The Russians later said all the Georgians were killed.
Another AP reporter was in the village of Tkviavi, 7 1/2 miles south of Tskhinvali inside undisputed Georgian territory, when a bomb from a Russian warplane struck a house. The walls of neighboring buildings fell as screaming residents ran for cover. Eighteen people were wounded.
Hundreds of Georgian troops headed north Monday along the road toward Tskhinvali, pocked with tank regiments creeping up the highway into South Ossetia.
In a statement in the Rose Garden, Bush said there was an apparent attempt by Russia to unseat the pro-Western Saakashvili. He said further Russian action would conflict with Russian assurance its actions were meant to restore peace in the pro-Russian separatist areas.
Bush and other Western leaders have also complained that Russian warplanes – buzzing over Georgia since Friday – have bombed Georgian oil sites and factories far from the conflict zone.
The world's seven largest economic powers urged Russia to accept an immediate cease-fire agree to international mediation.
Putin criticized the United States for viewing Georgia as the victim instead of the aggressor, and for airlifting Georgian troops back home from Iraq on Sunday.
"Of course, Saddam Hussein ought to have been hanged for destroying several Shiite villages," Putin said in Moscow. "And the incumbent Georgian leaders who razed ten Ossetian villages at once, who ran elderly people and children with tanks, who burned civilian alive in their sheds – these leaders must be taken under protection."
The U.S. military was informing Russia about the flights from Iraq to avoid mishaps, one military official said Monday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the subject on the record.
A Defense Department spokesman said the U.S. expected to have all Georgian troops out of Iraq by day's end.
Pentagon officials said Monday that U.S. military was assessing the fighting every day to determine whether to pull the fewer than 100 remaining American trainers out of the country.
EU envoys were headed to Moscow to try to persuade Russia to accept a cease-fire. French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he will meet Tuesday in Moscow with President Dmitri Medvedev and then travel to Tbilisi for a meeting with Saakashvili.
Saakashvili voiced concern Russia's true goal was to undermine his pro-Western government. "It's all about the independence and democracy of Georgia," he said.
The Georgian president said Russia had sent 20,000 troops and 500 tanks into Georgia. He said Russian warplanes were bombing roads and bridges, destroying radar systems and targeting Tbilisi's civilian airport. One Russian bombing raid struck the Tbilisi airport area only a half-hour before EU envoys arrived, he said.
Another hit near key Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, which carries Caspian crude to the West. No supply interruptions have been reported.
At least 9,000 Russian troops and 350 armored vehicles were in Abkhazia, according to a Russian military commander.
Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin said more than 2,000 people have been killed in South Ossetia since Friday, most of them Ossetians with Russian passports. The figures could not be independently confirmed, but refugees who fled Tskhinvali over the weekend said hundreds had been killed.
Many found shelter in the Russian province of North Ossetia.
"The Georgians burned all of our homes," said one elderly woman, as she sat on a bench under a tree with three other white-haired survivors. "The Georgians say it is their land. Where is our land, then?"

Jurgen Klopp has urged Liverpool not to "make presents for other clubs" by selling any of the six strikers vying for places in his team.
Klopp added Sadio Mane to his attacking options during the close season, and the Senegalese striker will compete with Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Mario Balotelli, Danny Ings and Christian Benteke for a place in the Reds' starting line-up.
Speculation linking Benteke with a move away from Anfield suggested Klopp was willing to streamline his squad, but the German has now indicated that to sell any of his frontmen might benefit Liverpool's rivals.
"Benteke, Balotelli, Ings, all the other strikers … they are really good strikers," Klopp told a news conference. "But at the end, having six strikers is a little too much, but is still possible.
"If we give presents to other clubs because we have 'too many strikers', that's the biggest mistake.
"Until August 31, I could change my mind. I'm not that type of guy but I could. We will see what happens."
Liverpool travel to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in their opening game of the new Premier League season on Sunday, and Klopp may be unable to select Sturridge, who has a hip injury, and midfielder James Milner, who is suffering with a heel problem.
"With Millie [Milner], it's not too serious," said Klopp. "It's a bruise in the heel. We have to wait a little but it's possible he can be involved.
"Sturridge could be involved in team training but missed a few sessions, so we have to make a decision. He could train today [Friday] 100 per cent. After this I will make a decision what kind it will be."
Klopp, who signed Loris Karius, Ragnar Klavan and Joel Matip as well as Mane ahead of the new season, made it clear he views the Liverpool squad as very much as his own, rather than the one he inherited from predecessor Brendan Rodgers.
He said: "I never used the excuse 'that's not my team' last season. I enjoyed my work from the first day here.
"It's not like learning to ride a bike; with football you have to keep learning. But we're in a much better position than on July 2.
"We have made seven transfers, sold a few players, loaned a few players … we still have our base from last year and I hope we can build on that."

Early Puberty in Girls : Why Is This The New "Normal"
What time were you when you first had your period? I am betting that you are between 14 to 16 years old, right? Well, you will be surprised to know that more and more girls are experiencing early onset of puberty.
In fact, 16 percent of girls in the US have had their period at the age of 7 while 30 percent of the girls experience early onset of menstruation at the age of 8. Surprising, isn't it?
Early puberty in girls is characterized by breast development, the onset of menstruation, and growth of pubic hair. While all of these may seem harmless, did you know that early puberty in girls comes with a few health problems?
Related: BROWN DISCHARGE BEFORE PERIOD: TOP 7 CAUSES AND REASONS BEHIND IT
The Health Risks of Early Puberty in Girls
Here are some of the things that girls who experience early puberty may encounter:
Lower self-esteem
Since they are just still young, there's a chance that these little girls may not still be able to understand the bodily changes that they are experiencing. In addition to that, they may feel inferior or different since they will look different than most of their friends or classmates. Because of this, they might have lower self-esteem, and worse, they may fall victim to depression.
What's worse is, when not guided properly, these girls may be significantly influenced by older people to take drugs or have sex to cope up with the depression that they are feeling.
Health problems
Aside from mental problems, these girls are at risk of particular health concerns as well. These may include ovarian. Breast or endometrial cancers. In addition to that, they will also be susceptible to hypertension, hyperinsulinemia, and heart diseases. Lastly, they also have a tendency of being obese.
Shorter duration of pre-pubertal growth.
Since the body has not been given enough time to grow properly, there's a chance that the girls who experience early puberty onset will have poor height.
Why Does Early Puberty Take Place?
There are many reasons why early puberty occurs. For one, a scientific study revealed that the consumption of hormone-raised meat would increase your chance of experiencing this condition by 75 percent. This is because the chemicals and hormones given to the livestock can significantly increase the hormone levels inside the body which leads to puberty. In addition to this, the use of everyday household and beauty products like soaps, cosmetics, and cleaning products contain chemicals which mimic estrogen and may cause hormonal imbalance in our body. Lastly, emotional stress caused by unconventional family set up and other problems may also cause early puberty.
What Can You Do To Prevent This?
It's true that there are various treatments that these girls can take to regulate the hormonal changes in their body. But as we all know, prevention is better than cure and the best way to prevent the early onset of puberty is to go green at home. This means consuming foods and using household, skin care and beauty products that are free from excess calories, hormones, and harmful chemicals.

The Country - Files
The other week me and the family headed up to CountryFile LIVE near Oxford for a day out at a show that was only in its second year, what I found was a show that was so well set out and packed with activities that it could have been around for 20 years!
The day was to be a wet one, I foolishly had dressed up as if I was on a day out in Barbados, but we'll leave my clothing choice to one side for now. Even though there was thunder and lighting throughout the day, this didn't dampen our fun.
We got in early, and with Olive having a mid morning nap (or which me and Sam call 'a break'), we popped to get a drink and have a scout of the show. Now if I'm honest I don't watch a lot of Countryfile, Matt Baker I know from my childhood, but that's about it, but with my love of nature and the great outdoors I was eager to see what it was all about.
There was a whole host of food stalls selling everything from pizza to noodles and so many stages I actually lost count. Stages of food, farming and a particular favourite chainsawing! There were horses on parade, sheep dogs herding ducks and cows out for 'auction', it was a hive of activity!
As Olive awoke we headed straight for the farm area where she got to stroke the cows, visit the pigs in the sheep pen and hold some little chicks. We met 'fireman Sam', made wildflower seed bombs, jumped on bouncy castles and played on tractors too!
We checked out the wildlife gardens and painted eggs, and there was an arts and crafts area too. It was great to have so much to keep Olive pleased so that myself and Sam could enjoy the rest of the show too.
When we're paying out to visit these events we want to feel we're getting our monies worth, and this show certainly gives you that! One day just isn't enough to do everything, and with camping just around the corner, next year I'm coming for the weekend!
It may have rained most of the day, I may have looked an idiot dressed for a Spanish isle, but as family day outs go, this is a must!

In this morning's introspection practice, I looked at Debbie Ford's book, "The best year your life". Out of that came a plan for the next three months. After about an hour of doing the exercise of identifying my vision, creating two goals and laying out a page-long overview plan, I felt a surge of clarity and a strong alignment with my purpose.
Today, I set the intention for us creating a plan for our lives that helps us manifesting our dreams.
May we create:
A plan that is clear, specific and exciting.
A plan that helps us identify what is most important for us.
A plan that is dynamic and encouraging.
A plan that is flexible yet structured.
A plan that makes us want to get up in the morning and go for it.
A plan that is realistic and achievable and timed.
A plan that is fun and inspiring.
Thank you for Creating a Plan that empowers us to live our dreams.

When you create a Ripple (XRP) deposit address under your Kraken account, a unique 'Destination Tag' is also generated. This tag is an extra piece of information that can be included when sending a Ripple transaction.
On Kraken, the Destination Tag is used to determine what account a given transaction should be assigned and credited to. This is because all Kraken accounts use a single Ripple (XRP) deposit address:
The Destination Tag is ten numbers long and has to be included with all Ripple (XRP) deposits to your Kraken account. An example Ripple (XRP) Destination Tag is:
Always ensure to include the correct Destination Tag before sending your XRP deposit. Leaving out this information will lead to significant delays in crediting the transaction to your account, and can be irretrievable in certain cases.
