December 5, 2010
A Republican goes hunting and thankfully doesn't shoot anyone in the face.
This may come as a shock to you, but I really have no feelings about hunting. I don't find it barbaric, especially within the context of shooting animals to feed your family and doing so responsibly. I'll never understand the sheer joy Sarah feels when she kills something, but I respect folks who work for their meals.
Like Sarah, I also support making sure you're managing the wildlife for sustainability "to ensure the next generation, and the next, and the next are assured the same opportunities for hunting and for viewing of wildlife, whatever it is you want to do." Then again, Sarah, that sure sounds like a lot of Big Government telling you what you can't do. Glenn Beck would be so sad to hear you say you support the government dictating what, when and how much you can hunt. Essentially, it's like the government is starving your family!
Just because I agreed with Sarah Barracuda about one thing certainly doesn't mean this episode didn't provide several eye-rolling moments.
Sarah, her dad and her dad's friend Becker are all heading out to tundra to shoot them some caribou. It's that magical time in Alaska when all the Alaskans hit the wilderness to hunt their food for winter.
Here's my problem right off the bat: Sure, there are plenty of families who are out there straight up killing their food. Absolutely. However, the Palins? Not one of those families. Hey, Sarah, did you shoot that box of Duncan Hines cake mix from the first and third episodes? Did you shoot Betty Crocker? Didn't think so. It's one thing to claim some families don't have a grocery store for hundreds of miles; it's another to insinuate your family is going to go hungry if you don't pack that freezer with fresh caribou steaks.
Before they head out, Sarah's dad tell us, "She carries her own weight, whether it's hunting or fishing or politics. Anything Sarah Palin does, she does with all four feet, let me tell you that." So I'm expecting Sarah to quit this hunt at any moment. (Also, I'm not entirely surprised to hear the Palins still haven't mastered walking upright.)
They head out north of the Arctic Circle, which, admittedly seems pretty hardcore. I wouldn't want to be up there if you promised me unlimited bourbon and screenings of An Inconvenient Truth. They meet Sue, who runs a camp. In fact, she's the only resident. For hundreds of miles. You know, it's nice, except when Sue WAS ATTACKED BY A BEAR AND HAD TO SEW HER OWN HEAD CLOSED BEFORE WAITING 10 DAYS FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. Sarah thinks Sue is just the bee's knees and so inspirational. Isn't she great? Look at her feed her little rodent friends! Watch as she sobs when the hunting party leaves, because Sue won't have any other human contact for the next nine months. We should all be more like Sue! Humans aren't social creatures or anything. She's an American Hero.
The hunting itself is as boring to watch as it probably is to live through. Walking through the tundra, walking through the tundra, walking through the tundra. Stopping to look through binoculars for a few hours. Walking through the tundra, walking through the tundra, walking through the tundra. Sleep in a tent. Walking through the tundra, walking through the tundra, walking through the tundra, so on and so forth.
At one point they attempt to cross a stream or a brook or whatever, and Sarah just splashes on through, soaking her feet in icy water. She thinks this is a testament to how tough and self-sufficient she is. Then you realize that the other members of her hunting party are wearing knee-length, waterproof boots and you realize it's actually just another example of her complete lack of forethought or preparedness.
After a very thrilling blueberry eating scene ("Can you imagine a whole blueberry pie made with these?" "I know … "), it was time for Sarah to take her shot. There's a caribou in her sights, so she pulls the trigger. And then again. And again. She keeps missing the caribou. In her defense, there was a problem with her scope, but it doesn't explain why the caribou just stood there as shots rang out throughout the tundra. Was it paralyzed with fear? Was is it the dumbest caribou of all time? Was it just so tired of living in middle of nowhere in freezing cold Alaska that this seemed like his only way out? Whatever the reason, Sarah got her shot and was ready to go home.
Next week, Sarah's latest attempt to keep the no-good paparazzi media away from her and her family is to bring Kate Gosselin and her eight kids into the bear-riddled wilderness.
Excellent choices all around.
Sarah Palin's Alaska airs Sunday at 8 p.m. on TLC.

Getting the right side of the world revolution
"If we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a 'thing-oriented' society to a 'person-oriented' society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered. Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism…"
—Dr. Martin Luther King, April 4, 1967

The new was reported by Klaus Horstick, managing director of the project company Trianel Windkraftwerk Borkum.
Another two of the M5000 5MW turbines will be installed by the end of this week. Assuming work continues to plan, the first turbines will begin delivering electricity in the autumn and with complete, commercial commissioning due at the end of 2013.
The installation vessel Adventure chartered from British company MPI is working out of Eemshaven for transport and installation of the turbines.

The Kithaironas wind farm, which was developed by the Spanish firm, is located in Boeotia in central Greece and is made up of 30 Gamesa G52-850kW turbines.
The financial details of the transaction with Eren subsidiary EMV were not revealed.
Gamesa first entered the Greek market in 1999. It has developed 87MW of projects and has a portfolio of 547MW at varying stages of development. Gamesa has also installed 179MW of its turbines on other developers' projects.
Eren said it is currently developing "hundreds of megawatts" of wind farms in Greece.

Improved Tokenization
As I've already said, the way we're tokenizing is lacking. One major problem
at this point is that
"The" and
"the" are returned as two separate tokens.
To take care of that, we need to convert all tokens to lower-case as they're
That's a two-step process: first, convert a token to lower case; second, apply that conversion to each token as it's read in.
How do we do this?
Java Interop
In Clojure, strings are the same as Java strings: a Clojure string takes the same methods as a Java string, and like a Java string, a Clojure string is immutable: once you've created it, you can't change it.
So now the question is how do we call Java methods?
In fact, it's fairly simple: to call the
length method on a string, use
.length (a dot and the method name) as the function to call, and pass the
string as the first argument to that function. Other arguments are passed in
after the method:
user=> (def a-string "My name") #'user/a-string user=> (.length a-string) 7 user=> (.substring a-string 3) "name" user=> (.substring a-string 3 5) "na"
This also works for calling static methods, just pass in the name of the class
instead of a class instance as the first argument. For example, the first line
below calls the static method
user=> (def rt (.getRuntime Runtime)) #'user/rt user=> (.freeMemory rt) 30462304
Runtime gets automatically imported from
java.lang. Later I'll show you
how to import other Java classes and how to create instances of them.)
Java strings have a
toLowerCase method, which will do exactly what we want.
The only problem is that Java methods aren't the same as Clojure functions, so
we'll need to wrap the method call in a function. Open the
word.clj file
you've been working on and add this before
(defn to-lower-case [token-string] (.toLowerCase token-string))
That creates a function called
to-lower-case, which just wraps a method call
Higher-Order Functions
Now we need to solve the second part of the problem: applying
to every token as we create it.
Clojure, like all lisps, Python, Ruby, and many other computer languages,
treat functions as objects in their own right. That means you can take a
function, assign it to a variable (which is what
defn does), and pass it
around as an argument. Plus, Clojure has a number of functions—called
higher-order functions—that take functions as arguments and do
interesting things with them, either creating new functions based on the
original function or applying that function to a set of data.
map is one of those functions. It takes another function and a sequence, and
it applies the function to every item in the sequence. Finally, it returns a
new sequence containing the results of applying the function to each item in
the input sequence. For example, let's apply
to-lower-case to a sequence of
strings (make sure you call
(load-file "word.clj") so that
is defined in the REPL):
user=> (map to-lower-case '("This" "IS" "my" "name")) ("this" "is" "my" "name")
Now let's combine
map with what's already in
tokenize-str to create a new
version of the function that converts all tokens to lower-case:
(defn tokenize-str [input-string] (map to-lower-case (re-seq token-regex input-string)))
(load-file "word.clj") again and test the new version of
user=> (tokenize-str "This is a LIST OF TOKENS.") ("this" "is" "a" "list" "of" "tokens")
There we go: all lower-case tokens.
Sequence Literals
In the first
map example above, I included something that we haven't seen
before: sequence literals. Sequences, or lists, are a big part of any lisp,
including Clojure.
A list in Clojure is printed like they are in all lisps: a space-delimited list of items surrounded by parentheses. They look just like a function call, which is awkward. It means that if you just type in a list, Clojure will try to call it like a function:
user=> ("my" "name") java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to clojure.lang.IFn
That's a poor way of saying that you can't treat a string like its a function.
To type the list and have Clojure recognize it as a list, you have to quote it: put a single-quote character in front of the list:
user=> '("my" "name") ("my" "name")
Organizing Your Code
So far we haven't had any problem with variable names clashing with each other. But if we start using different libraries and files written by different people, we could easily run across several that use the same variable name for different things.
How do we get around that? We need some way to keep all those names separate.
Clojure uses namespaces to keep variable names from clashing. (These are
different than Java's packages, if you're familiar with those.) By default,
all of the built-in functions are in the
clojure namespace. When you're in
the REPL, everything is in the
user namespace. Remember what the REPL prompt
looks like?
user at the beginning of the prompt tells which namespace we're
currently working in. Clojure indicates which namespace a variable is in by
printing the namespace and a forward slash before the variable name. For
example, the
user/tokenize-str that is printed after loading
indicates that the last variable read in was
tokenize-str in the
Here we want to define everything we're working on in a namespace called
word. To do that, just add these lines to the top of
(in-ns 'word) (clojure/refer 'clojure)
The first line creates a new namespace,
word, and uses that to contain all
the variables defined in the rest of the file.
Immediately after the first line, we can't reference any of the functions that
Clojure provides. The second line fixes that,
(clojure/refer 'clojure) call
makes everything in the
clojure namespace available in the
word namespace.
Remember that
clojure/refer references the
refer variable in the
namespace. So even though the we can't access Clojure's built-ins directly at
this point, we can still reference them using their full (namespace plus name)
(As an aside, notice that in the second line, the second
clojure is quoted.
That's because symbols can either be variables or symbol objects in their own
rights. Without the quote, Clojure thinks that the symbol is a variable; with
the quote, it reads the second
clojure as a symbol, which is what
Now, quit Clojure, go back in, and re-load the file. (We want to start with a clear slate; otherwise, the old function definitions will still be hanging around to confuse us.)
user=> (load-file "word.clj") #'word/tokenize-str
The first thing to notice is that the variable returned at the end has a new
namespace prefix,
word. Let's try to use it:
user=> (tokenize-str "This is a String.") java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve symbol: tokenize-str in this context
Oops. No
tokenize-str is found. We have to tell Clojure to look in the
word namespace:
user=> (word/tokenize-str "This is a String.") ("this" "is" "a" "string")
Remember to check out the new code from this posting in the Google Code project for word-clj.
We've covered a lot—probably too much—for today. Tomorrow, I'll tackle just one topic: we'll add stop-list filtering to our tokenizing.

Budget, International Travel, and more
April 12, 2013
Nonprofits Defend Charitable Giving Incentives
As budget debates once again ramp up, the White House and Congress continue to consider imposing limits on charitable giving incentives. The President's FY14 budget request once again includes a 28% cap on the rate of tax deductibility for charitable donations, and House and Senate budget and tax policy committees are weighing a range of potential limitations, primarily as cost-saving measures. The League has joined a broad array of national nonprofits calling on Washington's policy makers to take the charitable deduction off the revenue table once and for all. Reducing incentives to give would shrink the resources available to support community needs. The League has submitted testimony to Congress urging protection and expansion of charitable giving incentives and illustrating the public value orchestras contribute in partnership with other community-based nonprofit organizations. Earlier this week, we joined dozens of other national nonprofit groups in sending a letter to President Obama urging protection of tax incentives for charitable giving. Learn more about this important policy area.
NEA Up, Arts Ed Down in White House Budget
NEA Funding: The President's FY14 budget proposes $154.466 million for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), which would nearly restore the agency to FY11 funding levels. Congressional action on the budget process will begin in the coming weeks, and the League of American Orchestras will submit testimony to both the House and Senate explaining the public value of grants to orchestras. Funding debates in D.C. promise to be intense, and orchestras are joining other arts advocates in asking Congress to provide $155 million in NEA funding in FY14.
Arts in Education Funding: For the fifth consecutive year, the President's budget proposes consolidating the Arts in Education program into a new, broader funding pool titled "Effecting Teaching and Learning for a Well-Rounded Education." This program seeks to combine support for "the arts, health education, foreign languages, civics and government, history, geography, environmental education, economics and financial literacy, and other subjects," eliminating direct competition and federal leadership for each subject independently. With each year, the proposed total funding for the consolidated "Effective Teaching and Learning for a Well-Rounded Education" program has decreased and the FY14 request from the White House is a mere $75 million to be shared by all of the subjects. In prior years, the proposal has not been adopted on the Hill, and in spite of the elimination of many other programs, Congress has protected the Arts in Education fund as a distinct program at nearly $25 million. Orchestras are asking Congress to provide $30 million to support the Arts in Education program at the U.S. Department of Education.
Yo-Yo Ma Makes Case for "Arts for Life's Sake"
With a compelling combination of remarks and performances, Yo-Yo Ma made the case for "Arts for Life's Sake" this week as the featured speaker during national Arts Advocacy Day events in Washington, D.C.. His message and artistry is available to view online.
Endangered Species "Passport" Approved
Musicians traveling internationally with instruments containing endangered species material (such as ivory, rosewood, and tortoise shell) will have access to a new permitting process in the coming months. International rules have long required special permits for entering and exiting each country with instruments containing protected materials. A proposal to create a streamlined "passport" process was approved by 178 nations at a March 13 meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). The existing permit process is extremely complicated, and confusion abounds about the current rules and what will come with the new passport process. The League continues to partner with the American Federation of Musicians, The Recording Academy, the International Society of Violin and Bow Makers, and others to seek clarity and technical assistance for musicians on how to navigate the evolving rules, and we are encouraging policymakers to ensure that any new permit process is affordable and efficient. Learn more here.
Proof of Visa Goes Paperless
The paper card issued to foreign working artists upon arrival to the U.S. is going electronic. U.S. Customs and Border protection has announced that, beginning April 30 and throughout mid-May, issuance of paper I-94 cards will be phased out at U.S. airports and verification of an individual's visa status and the length of the approved stay will be accessible online at www.cbp.gov/I94. The new site will be up and running on April 30. While information about a visitor's visa classification will be stamped into his/her passport and be accessible electronically, the I-94 remains the most important form of legal documentation for visa holders upon arrival in the U.S. We advise printing a hard copy. Learn more about this new development on ArtistsfromAbroad.org.
Early Childhood Education and the Arts
Everyone is talking about Pre-K, which received special attention in the President's State of the Union Address in February as he previewed a new Preschool for All initiative. There's an important role for the arts in early childhood development. Check out next week's webinar with the NEA Interagency Task Force on the Arts & Human Development. The free webinar will be held at 2pm EDT on Wednesday, April 17th. Interested participants can register online or check back at several days later for the archive.

It's been a while since a piece of pure guitar-pop has won me over quite as thoroughly as this, but C-Jags have hit a bit of a home run with these two songs. 'Sandy' gets stuck firmly in your head from the first few lines. 'Putty Boy' doesn't so much get stuck in your head as move in, unpack, put its feet up and ask for a cuppa. These songs are pure exhilarating rock 'n' roll with hit and run melodies, razor-sharp guitar lines, big choruses, memorable tunes and lovelorn lyrics. And shit hot shoes. Never shall a C-Jags review go by without a doffed flat cap for the hot shoe action.
C-Jags aren't gonna change the world; they're not trying to to. But they're putting a bit of style, swagger and sex back into guitar music, and fuck knows it needs it right now. And if they keep writing songs as perfectly formed as these, they're clearly bound for bigger things - catch them now so you can say you were there from the start.

The Army has charged a soldier in an August homicide at Joint Base Lewis-McChord that the victim's family said was the result of the soldier fatally stabbing his wife.
Sgt. Robert S. Chiaravallotti, 41, is charged with murder, rape of a child and assault of a child. The alleged murder and assault involved a stabbing, according to the charging document.
The Army previously said it was investigating an Aug. 25 homicide at JBLM and had apprehended a suspect who was a soldier not assigned to the base.
The charges, recently obtained by The News Tribune, were signed Sept. 7. The papers do not go into detail but allege Chiaravallotti fatally stabbed a woman and raped and stabbed on the forehead a child under age 16.
Chiaravallotti's pretrial hearing, known as an Article 32 hearing, is scheduled for December. An Army judicial officer will recommend whether the case should go forward or be modified.
Chiaravallotti was assigned to the Eighth Army Band in South Korea, according to the Army.
The charging papers do not name the woman killed, but Teresa Glowacki contacted The News Tribune in August and identified herself as the victim's mother. She said her daughter, Dionne Elizabeth Chiaravallotti, had been fatally stabbed by her husband, Robert S. Chiaravallotti.
Dionne Chiaravallotti, who would have been 40 on Thanksgiving, had five children with Robert Chiaravallotti and two previous husbands, her mother said. The youngest just started kindergarten, and the oldest is 18.
Glowacki said her daughter moved to JBLM in June 2011 after living in Huntington Beach, Calif., for about a year with a relative while her husband was in Afghanistan.
The family had planned to join him in South Korea, Glowacki said.
Glowacki remembered her daughter as an active child who trained as an ice skater in junior high school and was in several beauty competitions as a teenager.
Her elementary school in Newport Beach, Calif., was about 100 yards from the ocean, so that's where family and friends spread some of her ashes in September.
The sea was a big part of her upbringing.
As a teen, she lived with her mother and stepfather on a 52-foot boat. They traveled to Mexico, Costa Rica, the Bahamas, Panama -- "through the canal, of course," Glowacki said. They put 35,000 miles on the boat.
It made for a hands-on education, Glowacki said.
At each port, her daughter would write a report about the history of the area for her correspondence classes. The family spent two months visiting the museums at the Smithsonian Institution.
Dionne Chiaravallotti earned her GED and attended culinary school.
She was interested in cooking "from Day 1," Glowacki said. "She could make anything."
Her goal was to be featured on "Hell's Kitchen," and she dreamed of one day going to Italy.
Mother and daughter cooked together when she was little, and the grandchildren reaped the benefits.
"Those kids ate better than most people eat anywhere," Glowacki said. "I wish I could have protected her more. It's hard when it's your only baby."

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- The health of Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi remains unknown even though government officials said it was improving.
However, the officials haven't said what is afflicting Zenawi, bikyamasr.com reported Friday.
Most reports indicate Zenawi, 57, is gravely ill, but little else is known about his malady.
Newspapers have been barred from reporting on his health condition and Ethiopians also are forbidden to discuss Zenawi's health, sources told bikyamasr.com.
However, Ethiopian Satellite Television, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, reported Monday the prime minister had died, saying its report was based on information from the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based think tank. The think tank said statement it had "no direct knowledge" of Zenawi's condition.
Zenawi has ruled Ethiopia since a coup in 1991.
Many in the country, especially the activist youth, say they're wondering what Ethiopia would be without Zenawi.
"It will definitely be interesting to see how we all react," one activist told bikyamasr.com said. "Ethiopia will be better when we all, Christians and Muslims, work together to build a country based not on one group dominating the other, but on the idea that we can have a solid country for all Ethiopians."

University of Alaska Fairbanks is seeking to recruit a graduate student interested in pursuing a Master's (or Ph.D.) degree at the University of Alaska Fairbanks with a research focus on gender and change in Arctic Alaska. Student funding is provided by a research grant from the National Science Foundation. Successful applicants will be offered two years of funding, including a stipend of approximately $28,000/year, field research, tuition, benefits, and research expenses.
The graduate student will assist an NSF-funded ethnographic study of the ways in which Alaska Native communities are responding to global challenges while at the same time retaining and practicing their core indigenous values in the face of many uncertainties. Previous research has identified indigenous groups and women as some of the most vulnerable populations affected by pronounced political, economic, and environmental shifts. In this study we seek to examine gendered responses to the processes of globalization and significant social-environmental change and the shifting roles of women in the midst of such changes. This research will provide an in-depth study of the gendered, multigenerational responses to specific contemporary changes in Barrow, Alaska, an Iñupiat subsistence-based community and economic and administrative hub of the Arctic Slope region.
We are particularly interested in students with backgrounds in the human dimensions of environmental systems or environmental anthropology.
Selected students will start their graduate programs in the summer or fall of 2014. Awards are contingent on students being accepted for a graduate program of study by the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Students could complete degrees either in anthropology or fisheries. Field research will be conducted in Barrow, Alaska.
If you are interested, please submit a CV, a copy of your transcript(s), a writing sample, the names and contact information of three references, and a short cover letter expressing your interest in the position to Courtney Carothers (email@example.com) by January 15, 2014.

IG Online continues the annual tradition of holiday-themed features with this update on 2008 Ukrainian Olympian Dariya Zgoba, whose new coaching career recently benefited from a stint in Sweden.
"I have been to many countries but I'd never been in Sweden before," she said. "Of course it is winter now and I wished to do more work at the gym than sightseeing."
Zgoba said she enjoyed her visit to the Eskilstuna Gymnastics Club, where she coached with the club's head coaches, Sebastian Melander and Helena Andersson, from Dec. 9-16.
"Everyone there was polite, friendly and respectful to me and the work I did with gymnasts," she said. "The most important thing is the system that that two coaches of this club, Sebastian and Helena, has built. They are continuing to perfect their skills and develop the staff."
Zgoba said the training system she experienced in Sweden was impressive and comprehensive.
"During the week I saw that they work so hard, and now many countries should pay attention," Zgoba said. "They have a perfectly mixed system of training, and rightly divided according to the seasons. In this club I saw that they are all very hard workers. Nowadays, Swedish coaches, gymnasts and the government really believe in gymnastics. They support it and have such strong wishes to be the best."
Now retired from competition, Zgoba won the 2007 European title on uneven bars and finished eighth on uneven bars at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. In World Cup meets, Zgoba won eight medals on uneven bars and five medals on balance beam.
Earlier this year she married Oleg Zaits, an oil field engineer who also works in winter as a ski instructor. The couple spent their honeymoon in Tenerife, Canary Islands.
Zgoba's holiday plans include celebrating Christmas with Zaits and friends at Bukovel Ski Resort in the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine. She has ambitious plans for the new year, as well.
"In 2013, I dream of more traveling abroad," she told IG. "I would like to get an opportunity to work abroad as a gymnastics coach-choreographer, and be together with my husband."

Valangin (Neuchâtel, Switzerland)
Valangin, a village in the Swiss canton of Neuchâtel, 5 miles north of the town of Neuchâtel, situated on the cantonal highway to La Chaux de Fonds (coordinates: 47° 1′ 0″ N, 6° 54′ 0″ E). It is today an ordinary village. Of historical interest is its castle that belonged to the French Counts of Nemours. This family, descended from the house of Savoy, died out in 1659. Duchess Maria Johanna Baptista, the widow of the last Duke of Savoy, inherited the castle as well as the duchy of Valangin. After her death, the graviate passed to the principality of Neuchâtel and in 1707 it became a Prussian province under Friedrich I.
At this point Valangin touches the history of the Mennonites of Bern. The continued oppression by the Bernese government, especially in the mandates of 1693, 1695, 1707, and 1709, caused many Mennonite families to flee from the Jura, which was a prince-bishopric of Basel, to the neighboring Neuchâtel (Neuenburg). The Amnesty Proclamation of the Bernese government, 11 February 1711, which permitted the Mennonites to leave with all their possessions, induced many to emigrate. By 1724 seventeen Bernese Mennonite families with 71 persons had settled in the graviate of Valangin, which then belonged to Neuchâtel. Since Neuchâtel and Valangin had made certain agreements with Bern, the mayor of Valangin complained to Bern about this settlement and about the increasing penetration of "sectarians and Anabaptists" from the canton of Bern, on the ground that the religious unity of the canton was threatened; in 1707 Protestantism was made the only legal religion. Bern supported the request of the mayor of Valangin, and both he and the Council of Bern wrote letters to that effect to Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia on 17 April, 26 April, 27 May, and 6 July 1734, and 4 June 1735. The king replied, "These good people must be tolerated as before, both on account of the good testimonial you give them and also because I consider it wrong to persecute for their religion those who otherwise live as good citizens of their rulers." . . . "All persecution is abhorrent to me, and I do not see why these poor people should be driven from the country, since they do no harm to anyone and commit no acts that could disturb the peace of the state. They seem to me deserving of sympathy, and it would always be more valuable to draw them with kindness and evangelical love besides a good example than to deprive them of a home that they have sought in your land. Therefore it is my will that they should be tolerated until I find it good and necessary to command otherwise."
Unfortunately the king found it good in 1735 to command otherwise. On 16 July he ordered that those sectarians who had immigrated into Neuchâtel and Valangin after 1724 should leave the land, but all the others should be tolerated as heretofore. He was obviously politically motivated to take this step, for he wished to win the favor of Neuchâtel and Valangin. But Bern continued to support the mayor of Valangin in trying to have the Swiss Brethren expelled. The governor of Valangin, however, refused point-blank to interfere, because the expulsion was based on private interests rather than religious motivations; indeed, sincere thanks were due the Mennonites in view of their industry and good characteristics. In 1739 the agitation against the Brethren set in anew, with the support of Bern. Apparently none were expelled from Valangin.

Part 2 of our continuing tutorial series on building the CETME-L rifle using a parts kit and receiver flat (plus a few extra parts) made by Hill & Mac Gunworks. We have divided up the process into 10-15 minutes segments, and one will post each day until the series is complete.
This is a project that requires some patience and mechanical dexterity, but it is well within the reach of the typical handy person with a few tools in the garage - and it is pretty much the only way to get one of these quite scarce CETME-L rifles. Check out the tutorial series and if it looks like something you want to do yourself, you can get the necessary parts from Hill & Mac here:
