Congress Gives Pakistan 300 Million New Reasons to Fight Terror
Islamabad swears it's committed to the anti-terrorism fight, but U.S. lawmakers want to see more proof before they sign over $300 million in new aid.
Washington has given Islamabad $11 billion over the past 11 years to reimburse Pakistan for its on-again, off-again efforts to combat militants operating along its porous border with Afghanistan. But with violence spiking in both countries, Congress has tightened a measure requiring the Pentagon to certify that Pakistan is a true ally in the anti-terrorism fight before it gives the country $300 million in fresh payments this fiscal year.
Washington has given Islamabad $11 billion over the past 11 years to reimburse Pakistan for its on-again, off-again efforts to combat militants operating along its porous border with Afghanistan. But with violence spiking in both countries, Congress has tightened a measure requiring the Pentagon to certify that Pakistan is a true ally in the anti-terrorism fight before it gives the country $300 million in fresh payments this fiscal year.
The new certification requirement included in the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act is the latest attempt by Congress to ensure that Pakistan abides by its promises to stop harboring terrorist groups that have been implicated in cross-border attacks on U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan. It shows lawmakers' unease in fully trusting Pakistan's claims that it's battling all terrorist groups.
Of the $1 billion available as reimbursement to Pakistan under the coalition support funds — used since September 2011 to pay partners for aiding American counterterrorism efforts — Congress has specified that a third of the money will be payable only if the Pentagon certifies that Islamabad's military operations in North Waziristan make the region inhospitable for the Haqqani network. Congressional aides say that they want to hold back the roughly $300 million to ensure that North Waziristan doesn't go back to being a stronghold for the group once Pakistan completes its current military operations.
"It's a subtle but important shift in language that previously required them to disrupt safe havens and prevent freedom of movement for the group," one congressional aide familiar with the latest requirement said. "The emphasis is on the outcome of Pakistan's ongoing military operation in the [region] and is basically asking Pakistan to stick to what it has promised to do."
The move comes as Pakistan ramps up its military campaign against the Taliban and other militants in the wake of the massacre of 148 people — including 132 children — at a military-run school in Peshawar. In recent days, Pakistan has escalated its assault on known terrorist strongholds, claiming to have killed 77 militants, and has ended a six-year moratorium on the death penalty with plans to execute as many as 500 imprisoned militants.
The tussle stems from legislation Congress passed in 2008 that has required the Pentagon and the State Department to certify that Pakistan has been keeping its commitments to the anti-terrorism fight before giving Islamabad new aid. The provisions haven't had as much impact as many lawmakers had hoped because Barack Obama's administration has either sought and received waivers on national security grounds or has provided certifications even though later events — such as the discovery that Osama bin Laden was hiding in a Pakistani military garrison town — showed those assurances to have been unfounded.
"There's a lot of ambivalence in Congress about what to do with Pakistan," said Christine Fair, a professor at Georgetown University in Washington and the author of Fighting to the End: The Pakistan Army's Way of War.
While there's agreement that Pakistan hasn't always kept its promises to combat terrorism, she said, "there's significant difference about what to do about it," with some lawmakers arguing to cut off funding for Pakistan while others push to keep the money flowing to preserve access and maintain some leverage over Islamabad. The latest congressional requirement is "only a compromise position," she said.
Pakistan has re-emerged as a top concern for U.S. policymakers in the wake of the Dec. 16 attack on the military-run school in Peshawar and a wave of ongoing strikes by Pakistani troops. The Pakistani Taliban, which claimed responsibility for the attack, which was carried out by a group of its gunmen, said the killings were in response to the Pakistani military's six-month-long operation in North Waziristan to root out terrorists residing in the border region.
Top Pakistani officials have said that their military operation in North Waziristan, which began in June, is aimed at clearing the area of all terrorist groups without discriminating between those tacitly supported in the past by the Pakistani intelligence services and those that have spent years battling the Pakistani government.
"We will eliminate all terrorists without discrimination," Maj. Gen. Asim Saleem Bajwa, the director-general of the Inter Services Public Relations directorate and a spokesman for the Pakistani military, told reporters on Nov. 14 in Washington. "All terrorists of any hue or color, and we will not let anyone return to these areas. We'll not allow our soil to be used for terrorism."
Since launching the operation in June, Pakistan has confiscated 132 tons of explosives from North Waziristan that could have killed as many as 70,000 people if deployed in roadside bombs, Bajwa said. "We have apprehended around 2,500 people and killed in various encounters about 70 hard-core terrorists," he said then in November. The figures are likely higher today.
Still, the Pentagon has not been able to certify that Pakistan is taking on the Haqqani network, a well-trained and heavily armed group led by Jalaluddin Haqqani, a former mujahideen commander who's said to have the backing of Pakistan's intelligence service. Many American commanders believe that the Haqqani group's fighters are the deadliest foes of the United States in Afghanistan, and the militants are believed to have killed hundreds of American troops since 2001.
The Pentagon "has waived the certification requirements" on coalition support funds in recent years, Marine Corps Maj. Brad Avots, a Pentagon spokesman, said in an email. "This has enabled us to reimburse Pakistan for its counterinsurgency operations along the border with Afghanistan, which impede terrorists' ability to attack U.S. forces in Afghanistan, the ANSF, and the U.S. homeland," he said, referring to the Afghan National Security Forces.
The Pentagon has yet to determine "whether Pakistan meets the new certification requirements" imposed by Congress, Avots said.
Washington has given Pakistan enormous amounts of aid since the 9/11 attacks. Between 2002 and 2014, the Congressional Research Service estimates, Washington has given Pakistan at least $28 billion in military and economic assistance.
Even when the Obama administration has certified that Pakistan is helping American counterterrorism efforts, later events have raised serious questions about the accuracy of those assurances.
In March 2011, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, certified that Pakistan "has demonstrated a sustained commitment to and is making significant efforts towards combating terrorist groups," particularly by ceasing support to groups that had attacked the United States or coalition forces. That assurance, Fair noted, came even as American intelligence information indicated that bin Laden was hiding in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and came just weeks before the U.S. commando raid there that killed the terrorist mastermind on May 2.
Clinton's certification may have reflected the differences between how various U.S. intelligence agencies viewed Pakistan and the inherent difficulty of making a conclusive decision about whether the country had dropped its support for terrorism, Fair said.
Despite Pakistan's assertions to the contrary, there are still indications that its military and intelligence services provide safe haven to some terrorist groups. On Dec. 22, for instance, Pakistan released Malik Ishaq, the chief of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, who is on the U.S. terrorism list. The Sunni terrorist group has killed hundreds of Pakistanis and Shiite Muslims. The group has been linked to al Qaeda and the Taliban, and Ishaq had been in detention for the past three years.
On Dec. 19, meanwhile, a Pakistani anti-terrorism court granted bail to Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, who's accused of having masterminded the November 2008 attacks on Mumbai that killed 166 people. The country's prosecutor has said the bail will be challenged.
Pakistani officials who visited Washington in June and later in November have indicated that they want the cash reimbursements for counterterrorism operations to continue even after American troops in neighboring Afghanistan depart in 2016.
While the Pentagon "currently does not have the authority to provide operational reimbursements to Pakistan after 2016," the Defense Department "is currently evaluating whether to seek such authorities" and what "authorities to seek from the U.S. Congress in order to protect remaining U.S. forces in Afghanistan, maintain pressure on militant organizations, and promote regional stability," Avots, the Pentagon spokesman, said.
That may be a hard sell on Capitol Hill. The original intention of the coalition support funds "was to reimburse Pakistan for their support to our military operations in Afghanistan," so it's not clear how continuing such cash payments can be justified after the U.S. withdrawal, the congressional aide said.
"The bigger question for policymakers is if the U.S. is interested in maintaining a security relationship with Pakistan on some footing other than the conflict in Afghanistan, should there be a hard look at providing additional security assistance through other mechanisms," the aide said. "Unlike traditional security assistance, which provides training and equipment, payments from coalition support funds are cash payments, and there may be a certain appeal for Pakistanis in continuing to get large lump-sum payments."

In today's world, abbreviations are almost becoming out of control, with new ones popping up almost daily. However, aside from the YOLOs and the LOLs, we often come across various terms (usually Latin) and abbreviations within academic writing – as well as other types of formal writing – that although we may think we know, there is always that element of doubt about their meaning and correct usage.
Therefore, this post seeks to provide a list of the most common ones!
Please note that when I say 'common', I am referring to the type used in academic or more formal writing – I couldn't begin to list the never-ending abbreviations used today!
- e.g. – short for exempli gratia meaning 'for example'. It normally has a full stop after each letter and is used to introduce an example or an incomplete list.
- i.e. – short for id est meaning 'that is'. It is written with a full stop after each letter and used to rephrase or explain something already said.
- etc. – Et cetera, meaning 'so on' or 'and the rest', and should only be used when the things omitted from a sentence are not essential to understanding what is said. Combining e.g. and etc. is also incorrect
- et al. – short for et alia, meaning 'and others'. It is used when citing works with multiple authors.
- ibid. – short for ibidem meaning 'in the same place'. It is used for citing the same source twice in a row.
- Loc. cit. and op. cit. – loco citato and opera citato meaning 'in the place cited' and 'in the work cited' are used for non-consecutive citations.
- Cf. – short for confer meaning 'compare', and is used to point the reader toward additional reading.
- passim – here and there or everywhere and it shows that an idea appears in various parts of a source.
- vs – versus, used to oppose two different things in competition.
- ad hoc – meaning 'created' or 'done for a particular purpose as necessary'.
- c (or ca) – meaning circa, or approximately.
- (sic) – meaning sic erat scriptum, or 'so it was written'.
- N.B. – meaning nota bene, or 'note well' and is used to emphasise an important point.
This list is by no means exhaustive; however, it gives you the basics. If anyone has any further to add – please feel free to comment!
And one final thought on the subject – whilst there are now many more abbreviations entering our vocabulary, some are merely updates….

Review of Traumerei by Albert W. Grohmann
Traumerei (dreaming) by Albert W. Grohmann appeared in the January 2013 issue of Star*Line. The rhyme scheme naturally flows in this little horror sonnet as it sings of dreams and nightmares and the dream monster that watches while you sleep, delighting to "hear the catch between your breaths." Brrr!

Bully Basset
The Bully Basset is a hybrid dog, the result of breeding a Bulldog with a Basset Hound. As a blend of two breeds, their appearance may be a mix of both or lean more heavily to one or other of the parents. However, the Bully Basset tends to be stocky, sturdy, and stubborn, but with a loving nature.
If one word were the sum up the Bully Basset it would be 'stubborn' because this is strong-minded dog that puts their wishes above those of their owner. But this is traded against a placid, affectionate character with a distinctive presence that loves to be part of a family. However, this breed is not suited to first time owners and does best with an experienced dog handler.
About & History
As a hybrid breed the Bully Bassets story is relatively short and hazy. However, both parent breeds have long and venerable histories.
The Basset Hound
The Basset Hound originated from France as a variation on the long-legged St Hubert's Hound, where their short legs had an advantage following a scent through low bushes. With noses close to the ground and a short stride, this made them popular with hunters on foot.
Originally Basset Hounds were popular with the French nobility, but after the French Revolution, the dogs were adopted by ordinary people. They prized the breed precisely because they could follow the dog on foot, rather than be mounted to keep pace. Bassets were introduced to the UK in the mid-19th century, but it took a couple of decades for them to become popular.
The Bulldog
The modern Bulldog, now a placid pet, is a different character to his distant ancestors. Back in the 16th century, Bulldogs were larger, athletic and aggressive. As the name suggests, this dog was inextricably linked to bulls and bull baiting.
After years of controversy, bull bating was made illegal in 1835. The bulldog, as an aggressive dog, lost their place in society and numbers dwindled. To survive, the breed was rehabilitated with the smaller, less aggressive animals being used to breed a line of dogs better suited as pets.
The Bully Basset is a medium to large dog with heavy-set bones. They are something of a stretch-limo version of a bulldog, with the Bully Bassets often inheriting the longer back and snout of the Basset Hound, along with the heavy bones and barrel-like ribcage of the Bulldog.
The Basset's drop ears win out over the more rosebud Bulldog earflap, with Bully Basset pups having pendant ears falling to the jawline or below. That long nose also irons out those bulldog wrinkles, leaving a few residual frown-lines between the brows.
The Bully Basset has a short-haired, smooth coat, which is mostly white but with tan, fawn, or even lemon patches. And, with the Basset Hound having a long straight tail and the Bulldog a corkscrew tail, which wins out? The answer is usually a long straight tail predominates, which is something to wag about.
Character & Temperament
The Bully Basset is an amiable soul inclined to follow his own whims rather than listen to their owner. This stubborn trait means they are not a good match for inexperienced owners who may find them frustrating to train. However, this stubbornness is not born out of malice, so much as the knowledge that their strength and sturdiness puts them in a position of benign power.
Whilst the Bulldog isn't a big barker, the Basset Hound has the hound trait of howling. This can incline them towards being noisy howlers. In addition, they like to chew and a wise owner provides an appropriate outlet for chewing, rather than letting the dog destroy the furniture. On the plus side, the Bully Basset is something of a gentle giant, and loves company and being part of a family.
Like any juggernaut, 'slow and steady' is the motto when it comes to dealing with a Bully Basset. Reward-based methods are a must, because their innate strength means an owner is never going to win any physical battle. Indeed, patience, practice, and a consistent message are essential in order to train a Bully Basset, but do not expect the pieces to fall into place overnight.
The Bully Basset is a hybrid dog and as such there are no statistics as to their health problems. However, the parent breeds do have well-known predispositions to disease, which are likely to show through in at least some of the pups.
Gastric Torsion
Gastric torsion, also known as bloat, is the result of the stomach flipping over on itself and sealing off the entrance and exit. This is a life-threatening condition as gas cannot then escape from the stomach which stretches like a balloon, sending the unfortunate animal into shock and organ failure.
The deep chest of the Bully Basset places them at risk of developing this condition. Prevention is extremely important, which includes feeding a good quality diet low in fermentable ingredients, feeding from a bowl on the floor, and always waiting at least one hour after eating before exercise.
Signs of bloat include the dog trying to be sick but not bringing anything up, and extreme restlessness as if in great discomfort. If you even suspect bloat may be a possibility, always phone a vet for advice.
Joint Disease
Both parent breeds have some degree of distortion to the bones of the limbs, such that the legs may be bowed and their weight spread unevenly. This places undue strain on the joints and can predispose them to damage joint surfaces, inflammation, and the development of premature arthritis.
To reduce the risk of damage it's important not to over tire a growing puppy. Also a good quality diet designed for large breed growth, helps promote healthy bones and joint growth.
Allergies & Skin Disease
Both parent breeds have a predisposition to skin allergies and problems because of wrinkled skin. This leads to itchiness and self-trauma, which then sets up secondary skin infections.
Skin allergies cannot be cured, but there are effective options to control the symptoms and give the dog relief from the misery of constant itchiness. In addition, keeping the skin clean and carefully wiping out skin folds helps reduce the frequency of skin infections.
Von Willebrands Disease
This inherited condition means the dog lacks the vital Von Willebrand's clotting factor in their blood. When injured, they are not able to form a stable blood clot and so even a minor injury may continue to bleed for long periods of time.
Again, there is no cure for Von Willebrand's disease, and it's important that affected dogs don't take unnecessary risks and any surgery carefully thought through.
Entropion & Ectropion
Entropion is the in-turning of eyelids, whilst ectropion refers to droopy eyelids. This is significant because in-turned eyelids are a constant source of irritation each time the dog blinks, whilst out-turned eyelids expose the surface of the eye to excessive drying.
Surgical correction is possible to improve the eyelid shape. However, affected dogs should not be bred from, as they will pass the trait onto their pups.
Exercise and Activity Levels
Despite their long-lost working roots, neither parent breed is particularly athletic. The Bully Basset reflects this in that they do need regular walks and play, but once home, are content to curl up and snooze. They also prefer to walk or amble, rather than run, which makes them good to stroll with, but not recommended for an active owner wishing to jog with their dog.
Don't be deceived by that short coat, because although these dogs don't need parlour trips for clipping, they do shed heavily and need regular brushing. It's a good idea to give the pet a daily brush over with a wire-bristle or slicker in order to capture that shed hair and prevent it sticking to soft furnishings.
Their relatively low exercise requirements can make them prone to overlong nails. Get the pup used to having their paws and claws handled from an early age, so they co-operate with nail trimming as an adult. In addition, daily tooth brushing is strongly advised to reduce the risk of dental disease.

Once your orders are imported, the Order Manager has a record of the pre-authorization and the original transaction ID.

However, you can enter the CVV2 code for manually-entered orders and it will be transmitted when you perform a capture.

Women in Trading: Just Do It
September 7, 2018
Hello Tackle Traders! I am excited to be back to bring you another edition of WIT after a few weeks on hiatus. I took a little break to recharge and spend time with my kiddos but I am happy to back here with you lovely folks. Since my mentor Tim challenged me to start writing this blog, I thought it was going to be easy to just share what my trading experience has been throughout the years. It's easier said than done. Trying to gather your thoughts and a put them on paper and for it to actually make sense to the reader, then make it look nice and pretty can at times be complicated. But not this one! Today I am just going to get straight to the point and it might feel like I am beating up on some of you but sometimes we need a little of that in our lives. Plus I've gotten a few of those from my mentors so I'm just returning the favor. LOL
So a lot has been going on at over the last few weeks and this week Nike has been the headliner. Whatever your opinion is on this matter is irrelevant to this discussion. Whether you agree or disagree with Nike the slogan Just Do It has been something millions of people have used for motivation to take action and we will all continue to use it for generations to come. Our fearless leaders and wonderful folks behind the scenes at Tackle have been cooking up a lot of things recently too and I must say I am very very excited that the Bear Market Survival Guide finally launched this week. If you missed the webinar don't worry catch the replay HERE.
The BMSG is for EVERYONE! From newbies to veterans and everyone in between. Whether you have a retirement, account or not it is for you. However, if you do have a retirement account like a 401k and you want it to remain that and not become a 201k in the next bear market, then I highly suggest you watch the BMSG. Just so you are aware this is a product that is being sold and once you see the price and you'll agree with me that it should be more than the asking price. Regardless of the cost for this great investment, you Pro members at Tackle already know the amount of content we get each and every day. People often ask me how did I get to know all of this information about trading and I simply tell them I followed what the mentors and coaches were doing. Well for the most part at least. The others times is when the beatings came to play LOL!!!! My point is this, if you attended the Mind of Trader with Tyler last week, he dove deep into calendar spreads and even prepped one on SPX. Like a trained puppy, the following day I entered the trade on SPX. I had also just gotten off a bull call on AMZN when it hit 2000 and was wondering whether to sit on the sidelines and wait for it to begin another run. Over the weekend, the scouting reports were sent out and on the options reports, AMZN was on the list of neutral or volatility trades. So again I entered a calendar spread on AMZN. So what does this have to do with the BMSG you ask? Well, if you had a trade on both AMZN and SPX that would have taken care of the BMSG is my point. See the risk graphs below
There you have it, my friends. Sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right this, or the right that, is wasting an opportunity. If you are a Tackle member and you are not taking the time to watch those scouting reports each week, that's on you! If you watch them and procrastinate and don't take action, that's on you! Sometimes we just have to get out of our own heads and JUST DO IT!
Until next time Traders!!!!!!

It's easy to feel distracted.Tweet It!
Like we are busy but not getting anywhere.
When this happens, we need to get to the source of our restlessness.
For us, a big source of tension comes from being surrounded by a single message of how life should be lived.
From our commutes crowded with billboards, to the advertisements interrupting our favorite TV shows, to the banner ads we try to ignore as we surf the web — these are all subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) telling us a story of how we should live.
The things we need to buy to be happy.
The ways we need to look to be beautiful.
The jobs we need to have to be successful.
The truth is, we know deep down inside what we need to flourish in our brief yet beautiful lives.
To solve this problem is simple and it just takes a moment.
A moment to reflect.
To ask ourselves the important questions and set our true intentions.
To define success on our own terms.
