Hello Paper Friends!
I'm back with another layout using some Prima papers. One after another the new winter releases are gorgeous and Tales of You & Me does not disappoint at all. It's so romantic. Needless to say I wanted it all, so when Flying Unicorn received all their new Prima goodies I send in a big big order. I was also lucky to have gone to Art Venture in Anaheim in January to work with some of the new lines and meet the designers up close and personal. Such a treat.
I started out with this layout using 2 of the papers. 12x12 Tales of You and Me-Notre Amour Sera a Jamais and 12x12 Tales of You and Me-Beaute Cachee. I cut out the frame part from the first paper and layed it on top of the second paper. With the cut outs I made 4 doilies. Two of the doilies I cut apart to make peak from the sides. My background was basically set up.
I used my favorite picture of the two of us. Stuck it on some cardboard to give it some depth and started with my flower arrangements. Mind you, this can go with a lot of umming and ahhing. All in all it took me quite a while to find the right flower for the right spot.
Adding some trim here and there. Mixing up the different kinds of trim, bringing a little gold to the mix. A lottle pop of white. Using a few crystals, and I almost went overboard with that. Luckily I was in time to take them off again.
A couple of vine leaves and a little hint of gold splatter as my final touches and I was happy with my romantic layout. I hope you like it too.
Thank you for looking!
Below is the list of materials I used for my layout.
As always my main source of supplies is from the Flying Unicorn store! A great way to shop!
Have a wonderful scrappy day!

Video: 50 Cent First Pitch at the Mets Game Goes Left
50 Cent warmed up for his first Pitch at the Mets vs. Pirates Baseball game on Tuesday night, but something went completely left. When he attempted the first pitch the ball went so left it almost hit a camera man as you can see in the second video lol. Maybe the ball slipped out of his hand because there is no where he throws like that! You be the judge below.

The GOP war on (Democrats) voting
As previously noted on this blog, the Republican party has a long history of voter suppression, dating back at least as far as William Rehnquist's activities in Arizona, long before he ascended to the U.S. Supreme Court. We have chronicled the effort by the Bush administration to foist Hans von Spakovsky on the Federal Election commission, an effort that, fortunately for American democracy, has come to an inglorious end with von Spakovsky's withdrawal from consideration for the post.
One of the recent GOP tactics has been to push for legislation requiring voters to show ID in order to vote. To listen to many Republicans the greatest danger to the country is voter fraud, i.e., folks casting ballots they are not entitled to. Most often the boogie man is the specter of illegal aliens voting but no proof is ever offered.
As a result of this unfounded fear of voter fraud, several states have actually enacted voter ID laws and unfortunately for Hoosier voters, the U.S .Supreme court recently upheld the stringent Indiana law, despite there being no evidence of voter fraud occurring in the state and substantial proof that legitimate voters would be denied the right to be vote due to lack of ID.
In the recent Indiana primary, the predictions of legitimate voters being denied the right to vote were proved right. 10 elderly nuns living in a convent across the street from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend were denied a ballot. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/staff/greg_gordon/story/36034.html
John Borkowski, a South Bend lawyer volunteering as an election watchdog for the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said several of the retired nuns had been voting all of their lives but were told they lacked the required identification cards and could only file provisional ballots.
Since 2005, Indiana's toughest-in-the-nation law requires every voter to produce a state or federal photo ID card. The Supreme Court, after weighing scores of legal briefs from conservatives who backed the statute and liberals who opposed it, upheld the law by a 6-3 vote, saying there was little evidence that it was unduly burdensome for voters.
Borkowski said Sister Julie McGuire, one of several nuns on poll duty, wasn't pleased to turn away the nuns, some of whom were in their 80s and 90s and no longer had driver's licenses.
Now we know that the law is indeed unduly burdensome on voters, at least if one is an elderly nun in a wheelchair with no drivers license. Now we have proof that the law disenfranchises legitimate voters. In frustration Borkowski says:
"Here's the supreme irony," Borkowski said. "This law was passed supposedly to prevent and deter voter fraud, even though there was no real record of serious voter fraud in Indiana. Here you have a bunch of nuns whose votes can't be accepted by a bunch of nuns … who live with them in the polling place in their convent because they don't have an ID."
At least six other voters (including an 18-year-old co-ed from California) besides the nuns were relegated to filing provisional ballots (AKA placebo ballots) in that one polling place in South Bend.
"The nuns and this young woman are the face of the Supreme Court case," said Jonah Goldman, who directs the Lawyers Committee's Campaign for Fair Elections. He said his group, which has bird-dogged polling places in primaries across the country over the last three months, also has found widespread confusion in other states over voter identification requirements.
"We've seen people in every contest that we've covered being disenfranchised by a perceived, incorrect or illegal restrictive identification requirement," partly because some poll workers have demanded more identification than was required by law, Goldman said.
So now that we know that voter ID laws produce disenfranchisement of legitimate voters. Does this mean that Republicans are planning to roll back voter ID laws? No, that's not the plan. Now they squander taxpayer dollars looking for voter fraud — $1.4 million to be exact to produce evidence of possibly 8 cases of voter fraud in Texas. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/195725.php
Two years ago Texas' Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott declared war on what he claimed was rampant vote fraud in Texas. He set up a special vote fraud unit and got a $1.4 million grant from the feds for the work.
Now, two years on, courtesy of the Dallas Morning News, we have a run-down of what Abbot came up with — 26 cases.
The details tell the story: All 26 cases involved Democrats, and almost all were either blacks or Hispanics.
Of the 26, 8 appear to have been genuine cases of fraud, two of which were cases of people actually casting fraudulent ballots, as opposed to bogus registrations.
So Democrats are targeted, mostly minorities or elderly, and isolated cases of voter fraud are found, not enough to change the results of an election, no widespread conspiracy, no hordes of illegals taking over the country by voting. But lots of taxpayer money gets spent in a fruitless endeavor. Josh Marshall at TPM concludes that this search for voter fraud is a witch hunt. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/195725.php
No one denies there are isolated cases of vote fraud. The question is how organized and widespread it is, whether it's affecting the outcomes of any actual elections, and whether (depending on the answers to those questions) whether the extent of the problem justifies measures which also have the effect of making it either more difficult or more perilous for eligible voters to exercise their rights at the ballot box. The fact that these politicized and morally corrupt prosecutors offices can't come up with more than a trivial number of actual cases makes the answer to the question pretty straightforward.
Marshall also reminds us of the larger context of the politicization of the DOJ and the firings of U.S. attorneys who refused to use their positions on behalf of the agenda of the Republican party rather than serving the greater public good and enforcing the rule of law.
Remember the larger context too. In the case of the US Attorney firings, most of the dismissals targeted prosecutors who refused to use the power of their office to advance the interests of the Republican party by engaging in these kinds of witch hunts.
Not surprisingly, Abbot is also pushing for a new law in Texas to require photo IDs to be allowed to vote — the latest gambit to try to shave a few percentage points off voter participation among the targeted groups.
Unless there is pushback, Texas may soon join Indiana in enacting a voter ID law. And more legitimate voters like the elderly nuns in South Bend will be disenfranchised. All part of the GOP war on Democrats voting.

A project that transforms empty properties into new homes and which Folkestone and Hythe council is a partner has won national acclaim.
Kent County Council's (KCC) No Use Empty programme won the Chartered Institute
of Housing's national award for its 'outstanding approach to innovation'at an
awards ceremony in London – beating eight other finalists, including a scheme
from the Mayor of London.
Cllr Alan Ewart-James, Cabinet Member for Housing at Folkestone & Hythe District Council, - one of the No Use Empty partners - said the award was well-deserved.
"As partners, we are obviously delighted that No Use Empty has secured national recognition. It has been a huge success and has helped bring hundreds of empty buildings in our district back into use.
"Our own No Use Empty Plus scheme, which offers loans of up to £40,000 to boost those offered by KCC, is also a winner, securing the innovation award at last year's Empty Homes awards. It shows that the principles behind the project are right – and successful."
Sean Holden, KCC's Deputy Cabinet Member – Economic Development, said: "There are many benefits in bringing empty properties back into use. It not only provides much-needed new homes by giving owners the help they may need for renovation and repair, but gets rid of local eyesores and makes places more attractive."
One of the latest local successes has been the renovation of the former Westbrook Preparatory School in Shorncliffe Road, Folkestone, which is being converted into 11 new self-contained flats by Browns Construction.

The Court of Miracles is a song featured in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (film). This is the seventh song in the movie, and the third song sung by Clopin. Unlike "Topsy Turvy", and "A Guy Like You" this is more of comedy oriented than the other songs from the film. Unlike the former, this song is based on black humor.
Clopin and the gypsies have captured Quasimodo and Phoebus, assumed spies, and sing about how "it's a miracle if you get out alive!" Taking delight in tormenting his victims, Clopin stages a mock trial, making rapid transformations into various figures, even pulling out a jury consisting of one puppet in his likeness. However, Esmeralda arrives before any harm can come to her friends.
- Clopin and Gypsy chorus : Maybe you've heard of a terrible place where the scoundrels of Paris collect in a lair.
- Clopin and Gypsy chorus : Maybe you've heard of that mythical place called the Court of Miracles
- Clopin : Hello, you're there!
- Chorus : Where the lame can walk and the blind can see
- Clopin : But the dead don't talk.
- Clopin : So you won't be around to reveal what you've found.
- Clopin and Gypsy chorus : We have a method for spies and intruders.
- Clopin and Gypsy chorus : Rather like hornets protecting their hive.
- Clopin and Gypsy chorus : Here in the Court of Miracles
- Clopin and Gypsy chorus : Where it's a miracle if you get out alive!
(Instrumental interlude)
(singing resumes)
- Clopin : Justice is swift in the Court of Miracles
- Clopin : I am the lawyers and judge all in one
- Clopin : We like to get the trial over with quickly
- Clopin : Because it's the sentence that's really the fun!
- Clopin (speaking) : Any last words?
- Quasimodo (muffled) : Call Esmeralda!
- Phoebus (muffled) : ???
- Clopin : That's what they all say.
- Clopin : (singing) Now that we've seen all the evidence
- Clopin puppet : Wait! I object!
- Clopin (yelling) : Overruled!
- Clopin puppet : I object!
- Clopin : Quiet!
- Clopin puppet : Dang!
- Clopin : We find you totally innocent
- Clopin : Which is the worst crime of all
- Clopin and Gypsy Chorus : So you're going to hang!
- Tom Hulce and Kevin Kline, who did Quasimodo and Phoebus's muffle vocals in film and the soundtrack. Have their names edited out in the soundtrack.
- Michael Surrey, the supervising animator for Clopin, noticed that the tune to this song bared some resemblance to The Sorcerer's Apprentice from Fantasia. After noticing this, he decided to base some of Clopin's movements, mainly the ones when he was dressed like Frollo, after Sorcerer Mickey Mouse.
- During Clopin and his puppets's argument, Clopin doesn't move his mouth, although he had done during the song "The Bells of Notre Dame". It is possible that another Gypsy provides the puppet's voice for him, making the illusion more realistic.
- Clopin's line "We find you totally innocent… Here it's the worst crime of all!" is a throwback to the Court of Miracles' nature in the books. In the novel, it is not a hideout for the hunted Gypsies but a general haunt for all the criminals, beggars and lowlifes in Paris, and the character is to be kill not because he is thought of as a "spy" but because he, a completely honest and moderately wealthy man, dared wander in the lair of crime.

When we first laid down the groundwork for Proto, one of the things that I sincerely wished to see was more initiatives like Proto spring up, so that – for one, we'd strive to deliver more value to the entrepreneurs who need all the support they can, and hopefully we can move on to focus on the next gap that the ecosystem requires attention on.
I am quite happy to see that the same ardent and capable team behind Barcamp Bangalore, working towards putting together Headstart.in.
My kudos to the team, and a happy moment for seeing the startup ecosystem come together with such grace here in India. Most certainly a dream come true.
2 Responses to "Bangalore based Headstart.in"
Hey Vijay!
Appreciate the good work at Proto. The initiative is well recieved and we do take some inspiration out of it. NeverthelessHeadstart.in caters to a more wider segment & focusses on consumers/customers as well.
Your feedbacks and suggestions are always welcome.
Hope we can mutually help the ecosystem in the long run.

The Order of the Illuminatus have opted to elect a representative body for the administration and management of the guild and community and are dubbed Officers. The designation of Officer carries with it no perks, no advantages nor any preferential treatment over any other member. In essence, all officers remain equal in all ways to the general membership. The title of officer, should it be accepted, carries with it only the responsibility to conduct guild business as a representative of the Order of the Illuminatus membership.
Current Officers - Alliance Edit
• Antilli
• Angel
• Viata
• Sibelle
• Ravensclaw
• Goldscarab
• Ozmarosetta
• Cerbarus
Guild Leader: Tobert
Please see page for specific Guild Leader duties, elections, and other information
Current as of 5/03/12
Officer Duties - Alliance Edit
These duties were created and approved by the officers and founders on January, 22 2008.
- All officers are granted access to the forums sights labeled: Officers lounge and General' Tent. All officers are required to participate on these forums at least once per week to maintain a working knowledge of the issues and events being discussed.
- In the event that Officer Chat is used, all officers are required to monitor this channel for any guild issue that is brought up. This channel is to be strictly moderated and is to be used solely for guild business. At no point will group requests or social dialogue be acceptable. Use guild chat for any such discussions. Social dialog is defined as any conversation relating to real life or game that does not immediately pertain to the administration or management of the Guild.
- Recruiting: All officers are responsible for carrying out all guild policies on recruiting and membership. In this regard, it is the responsibility of the officers to ensure that all applicants have posted their application on the forums. Once posted, any one of the elected officers can then conduct an interview of the applicant to ensure that the applicant meets the minimum qualifications of OI membership. Furthermore, all applicants must be re-interviewed after two weeks to ensure that the applicant is indeed an acceptable member to the guild.
- Rule Enforcement: All officers shall be charged with the responsibility of resolving any situation which results in the violation of any rules listed in the guild charter. In execution of this responsibility, any officer may exercise the following options:
- Ask an offending member to cease/desist any behavior the officer deems to be inappropriate or provocative.
- Defer action and report offending behavior to the Guild leader for further review.
- Issue a formal warning to a member whose actions are in violation to the guild charter.
- Remove or demote a player for a period of 24 hours should the officer deem the offending members behavior to be a danger to the guilds integrity or abusive to any member(s) logged in at that time. Such a removal must initiate an investigation by the Officer Corps and a subsequent vote on the permanent removal of the offending player.
- Guild Administration: All officers are charged with the responsibility of conducting guild business. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Establishment of rules and policies.
- Oversight of all policies to ensure that they are fairly exercised.
- Promotion of general members to role specific designations such as Raid Captain, PVP Commander and Rear Admiral in Charge of Social events.
- Facilitate in the coordination of, and provide access to guild resources for events initiated by members or other officers.
- Guild Bank Administration: All officers are charged with providing assistance to the membership with regards to the guild bank. Officers will accept items for the guild bank and distribute items from the guild bank upon request at the earliest convenience of the officer. Only requests that are in accordance with the rules of the guild bank will be honored.
Election of officers - Alliance Edit
Officers shall be elected by the general membership of the Order of the Illuminatus. Votes shall be announced on the Forums and via the Guild Message of the Day. Any member who wishes to run for an open officer position must declare their intent and be nominated by two members in good standing. Elections will be administered by the Guild Leader who will act to ensure that all votes are tallied and accounted for. Election to an officer post requires a majority vote by all members.
Officers shall serve a term of 18 months. At the end of 18 months, they may resign or seek reelection. There is no limit to the number of terms an officer can serve.
Number of Officers - AllianceEdit
The officer corps shall be comprised of a minimum of eleven seats. As general membership grows, 2 additional seats are to be made available for every 100 accounts beyond the first 200. Therefore the following shall be adhered to:
- 011 < # of accounts < 199 = 9 Seats
- 200 < # of accounts < 299 = 11 Seats
- 300 < # of accounts < 399 = 13 Seats

For any parent, your children's health and wellbeing is a central concern, and sometimes these concerns turn into major fears. When Action for Children asked parents around the UK what health issues they worried about for their children, we found one thing stood out clearly in front of the others.
Parents' most common worry about their children's health is emotional wellbeing and mental health. That may come as a surprise but it echoes what we are seeing in our own services, where a majority of our frontline staff say they are seeing rising mental health needs among children and young people.
Given that so many parents worry about their children's mental health and wellbeing, it is vital that parents and children can talk honestly about their worries. This is needed both in families and in society's wider debates so that mental health gets the attention it needs.
Recognising and talking about the seriousness of mental health problems doesn't mean scaring people though. Issues with mental health affect people differently at different times and can often be managed or lessened. For children and young people they can be linked to times in their life when they are going through the most changes, personally and socially. In our polling it was parents with children aged 5-10 and 11-15 who most often said emotional wellbeing and mental health was a worry. These are the ages when children start and change schools, and start going through puberty, which can be anxious times for children and parents.
Although the thought of children suffering from mental health problems can be scary, help is at hand. Through our children's centres, Action for Children provides families with places they can go to find support. Children can play and make friends in a safe environment that nurtures emotional wellbeing, and parents can get non-judgemental advice, as well as access support themselves. Knowing that there is somewhere safe and supportive nearby can help families when they are isolated as well as improving wellbeing. We work with parents to overcome problems their family is facing and to feel in control of difficult situations. This includes classes, one-on-one support and working with other services.
Taking the first step towards asking about mental health support can be a hard one, but we can all do something for parents worried about their children. Listen. The more that people openly discuss their wellbeing and are listened to, the better. Getting the right help early can make a great difference to families and give children and young people the emotional grounding to reach their potential and prevent mental health problems in their future. That is a price and a cost that we should not have to pay.

"My brother spent the last weeks of his life at PBL. He wanted to die at home but was too ill to do this. PBL was to me, better than home, because it was possible to do what you would do in your own home, but the stress and worry of being on your own was taken away. The staff were supportive but allowed you choices and anything you asked for, if possible, you could have. They understand, and somebody was always at hand – no waiting at home for district nurses and doctors – the environment was calm and the garden beautiful. It was like a home from home. Thank you so much."

I first read Dan Brown's novels when I was in High School, right before The Da Vinci Code exploded and was everywhere. I actually read all four of his books before they even considered making a film or the Da Vinci Code had been on the bestseller list for however many record-breaking weeks it was there for. I've always enjoyed them because of their conspiracy theory vibes and ties to history.
Now I'm not sure about the factual basis of the book or even the conspiratorial basis of the book, but overall I enjoyed it as a light read to pass the time. We once again found ourselves with the middle-aged Harvard professor Robert Langdon tied up in a beyond the ordinary, generally unbelievable sequence of events that reveals a seemingly earth shattering concept. This novels dealing with the Freemasons and the various traditions and legends associated with them.
Although equally as complex and detailed as his other novels, I probably appreciated this one more having recently visited DC. I recognized a lot of the places as he was describing them and even figured out (with about 20 pages to spare) where they were going at the end. Due to the way I read any novel, I was completely surprised by two parts. I doubt it was due to Brown's genius authoring, but mostly due to my gullible readership. When I read a novel I put everything into the moment in the novel and I do try to think ahead, but only so far as the next few seconds/minutes in the novel and am therefore more often than not surprised by things that happen and it's one of the reasons I love reading all sorts of books.
One of the things I do enjoy about Dan Brown, regardless of his mass appeal and his mainstream audience is his mixture of science and history. In his first two novels Digital Fortress and Deception Point his focus was primarily intrigue and science, and with The Da Vinci Code it was mostly history. However, both Angels and Demons and The Lost Symbol had an interesting combination of history and science that made both of the novels that much more interesting regardless of their factual inaccuracies.
Overall I would recommend this as a beach read as long as you weren't reading it as a hardcore truth or as a work of nonfiction as it's CLEARLY a fictional novel. I just love how much controversy he has stirred up by writing that 'these novels are based on fact.'

If it's possible to still be a Daddy's girl at 52, then I'm as guilty as the six year-old that wears him like a badge of honor on my heart, then as I do now. He enforced strict discipline and never tolerated lies he was somehow able to sniff out like a dog on the hunt. He taught unconditional love at every turn, returning from arduous week-long business trips, always ready to give his energy to his pack of four children and our mother on weekends. These often involved long rides on our horses, tag football, and summer evenings spent watching fireflies on our country front porch. When we were really lucky, these nights ended with him recanting imagined tales of Cookie to all of us, under a "tent" in the living room. And, when the summer heat really turned on, Saturday afternoons meant cherished and rare trips to Dairy Queen for ice cream. I favored the soft serve vanilla twist cones dipped in confetti peanut/candy, but sometimes one of us, Dad included, went whole hog and indulged in a hot chocolate sauce banana split. So, even now, I can't think of ice cream sundaes without thinking of my Dad.
Time may have softened the lines of these memories, erasing the tears from an overly tired child or admonishments from a frustrated Dad, but at their core, they remain true to the man he was and is. The best Dad I could ever hope to have and my eternal night in shining armor, still shining at 84 years of age. The recipe that follows is an adult version of a very, very indulgent sundae that far surpasses DQ's confetti candy and moves into the realm of butter, mashed bananas, brown sugar, walnuts and rum, though the latter can be wholly omitted without really missing a beat. From my cookbook Mashed – Beyond the Potato (Gibbs Smith), it might be just the right treat for your Dad this Father's Day.
Mashed Bananas Foster Sundaes
(Yields 8 sundaes)
The classic brown sugar, butter and rum sauce wrapped around flash-cooked and flambeed ripe bananas was created by Chef Paul Blange at Brennan's restaurant in New Orleans in 1951. The dark brown sauce is just the right foil for the sweetness of bananas. Lightly mashed and served warm over commercial vanilla ice cream with a crumble of chopped walnuts, it is sublime and comes together in minutes. To flambe, carefully tip the saute pan to meet your stovetop gas flame, or quickly hit with a lighter flame. The flambe is important to cook off the burn of the alcohol and increase flavor, although the rum can be omitted altogether. This is best served straight from the pan, but will store refrigerated and covered for a day or two. Reheat before serving over a few scoops of ice cream.
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 8 tablespoons
1/3 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
4 ripe bananas, peeled, halved vertically, and halved again horizontally
1/3 cup dark rum (optional)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 1/2 quarts best quality vanilla ice cream
In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the brown sugar, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, canilla, and salt. Cook together over medium-low heat, stirring, about 2 minutes. Carefully add the bananas and gently stir to coat, cooking for 3 minutes. Add the rum, stir to combine, and flambe, standing back to avoid the flame. Gently mash into large chunks using a manual masher or wooden spoon. Remove from heat and cool slightly for 1 – 2 minutes. Serve warm in individual bowls over 2 or 3 scoops of ice cream. Garnish with a tablespoon or so of chopped walnuts. Serve immediately.
Happy Father's Day!
Sack the chili and other usual Super Bowl menu suspects and throw a pass on this classic French stew: Coq au Vin. Make it ahead, serve and hear 'em roar! This one is a winner that the whole team will love on game day, but will prove a welcome player any day of the year.
(Adapted from my next cookbook, The French Cook: Soupes et Daubes, Gibbs Smith, August, 2014)
Coq au Pinot Gris with Mushrooms, Leeks and Dijon Mustard
(Makes 4 to 6 servings)
Chicken braised in wine is the basic formula for what's called "coq au vin" (pronounced 'coke o vaen'), which is at the heart of the cooking action in this recipe. The kind of wine, though typically a red (especially a Burgundy), can really be any grape varietal including Alsacienne-inspired Pinot Gris in this especially delicious, and slightly sweet version. Interpretations of this stunning French stew can be found throughout the France, but the classic garnishes typically include lardons (or substitute bacon), mushrooms and onions. This stew can (and really should) be made a day ahead to enrich flavors. If you choose to do so, add the cream and mustard just before serving. It's exquisite alongside a mound of tender, buttered spaghetti.
2 large bone-in chicken breasts (about 3 1/2 pounds), cut horizontally into 4 equal-sized pieces, trimmed of excess fat, skin and small rib bones
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, peeled, smashed and finely chopped
1 leek, white and pale green part only, halved vertically, cleaned, and thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Eight ounces (about 2 cups) white button mushrooms, feet trimmed, brushed clean and sliced about 1/4"-thick
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups good quality Pinot Gris (or substitute Riesling)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/3 cup heavy cream (Do not substitute Half & Half or milk!)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Prep the chicken (being careful to remove any stray, spindly rib or spine bones) and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat the butter and olive oil in a 5 1/2 quart Dutch oven over high heat. When bubbling, add the chicken in a single layer, skin side down. Reduce heat to medium high and cook for 3 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown. Turn all of the chicken pieces and cook another 3 minutes on the second side. Using tongs, remove the chicken from the pan and reserve (I always use my inversed Dutch oven lid as a "plate" for this purpose). Reduce heat to medium low. Add the onion, garlic, leek and a dusting of salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened, but not browned. Add the mushrooms, stir to combine, and cook another 3 minutes. Dust the flour evenly over the top, stir to combine, and cook 1 minute. Increase the heat to high. Add the Pinot Gris, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon to pick up any brown bits. Bring up to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Stir in the thyme. Return the reserved chicken to the pot, arranging in a single layer, about 3/4 covered with the wine. Cook, uncovered for 35 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked and free of any pink juices (insert a small paring knife in a piece to be sure), stirring once or twice. When cooked, remove the chicken and reserve. Increase the heat under the pot to high and reduce the cooking liquid/wine by about 1/3; about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. (Note: Return the chicken to the pan, cool and refrigerate overnight if serving the following day). To finish the stew just before serving, whisk in the heavy cream, parsley, and Dijon, and heat through. Serve warm over warm, buttered pasta or egg noodles. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
Bon appetit!

Victor Brossa is the creator and highest expression of what is known as the Art of Conscience or Conscious Art based on the principle that ART IS THE EXPRESSION OF BEING. This manifesto entitled ART OF CONSCIENCE was written by the artist in 1999 and modified in 2013. The document attempts to promote a new form of understanding art, art as sacred and projected to support the vital experience of the human being on its mental, emotional, physical and spiritual healths.
1. For the art of conscience everything that comes out of being is art and generates life around creating the perfect stage in which the very same being submerges itself to experience its own creation. The conscious artist knows that everything that he/she expresses in his life affects his vital experience. He knows that everything coming out of him is what will feed his come back, either physically, mentally or emotionally, therefore he focuses on what comes out from his subconscious , ensuring he generates a vital experience favourable to what his will wants and freely choses.
For the conscient artist, his main work of art is his own life, of which he knows himself to be absolutely responsible because it is the ultimate result of his dreams, desires, believes, thoughts and emotions.
2. The ART of Conscience identifies in the vital experience of being the influence and action of two very well differentiated factions that form an essential part of the unity of being. Two faces of the same coin influencing and directlyworking on the creation of life with hardly any contact between them: one is the CONSCIOUS and the other the SUBCONSCIOUS. The Art of Conscience tries to consider both.
3.- Conscient Art believes in MAGIG, understanding it as a hidden science. For the Art of Conscience, MAGIC IS THE SCIENCE UNDERSTANDING HOW TO INTERACT WITH SUBCONSCIOUS WORDLS EMPLOYING THE LANGUAGE OF ART TO DO SO. Magic is able to generate a two way dialogue affecting our lives, in either a positive or negative way, depending on the type of subliminal message that our subconscious receives.
The conscient artist remembers how to use art to bring magic to his life, learning to reprogram his subconscious from what he expresses, in order to direct his creations towards achieving a life more according to what he dreams and desires to experience consciously.
4. The conscient artist embraces his ABILITY TO IMAGINE as a vital tool through which he choses to focus his attention in what he wants to create in his life, creating without limits. For this end, he uses any mean of artistic expression that may help him to achieve this.
For the Art of Conscience artistic expression allows not only to retrieve information from the subconscious worlds but also to observe the mirrors in which our creations disguise themselves and to chose deprograming anything in the subconscious that may hinder our expansion
5. For Conscient Art WE ARE ALL ARTISTS AND CREATE OUR LIVES IN THE IMAGE OF WHAT INTERNALLY WE BELIEVE WE ARE. For the art of conscience coincidence does not exist, even chance is transmitting some type of chosen experience or knowledge.Everything that the artist encounters in his/her life is the result of his creative will and he thanks to each one of his creations the opportunity of the experience, blessing everything that affects his life as an opportunity for self knowledge. This allows him/her to live in the present and create new experiences without leaving open physical, mental or emotional fronts that may affect his inner balance.
6. For the Art of Conscience, LIFE IS A GAME OF MAGIC AND ILUSION chosen and created by the very same being that experiences it. In this the conscient artist learns to go beyond the state of survival, to remember that not only he/she is able to play with joy and enthusiasm after waking up from his amnesia but also that he has the power to recreate the reality of the game in his own likeness, transcending the bounds that kept him anchored to ilusión.
7. For the Art of Conscience CREATIVE STATES ARE DOORS TO INNER KNOWLEDGE able to transcend the boundaries of any program that may be working on us to limit our expression and vital experience.
8. For conscient art, EVERYTHING MATERIAL IS ALSO SPIRITUAL, because it considers matter as just a delusory consequence generated by spirit of the subtle. There are no foolish actions if we undertake them in a conscient manner. For the art of conscience EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS IN OUR LIFE IS SACRED.
9. The conscient artist tries to remain in his/her centre, in a permanent inner listening, loving him self and caring for his needs as he absolutely deserves, always creating from a frequency of love which will allow him/her to express from the integration of the heart instead of doing it from the frequency of fear or survival that may attract to his vital experience the thickness of the murky and parasitical.
10. The Art of Conscience uses artistic expression in order to retrieve memory and transform reality consciously. The conscient artist creates from the unity of the heart and recognises in his/her capacity to imagine the door towards true wisdom.
11. For the conscient artist the meaning of ART is SACRED because to create consciously is to feed from the eternal knowledge that lives and pulsate within every human being by the very fact of existing and being both a unique and indivisible part of Totality
RECORDAR, from latin RICORDARI.
MEANING: "Return to the heart"
CONCIENCIA, from latin CONSCIENTIA.
CONSCIENTIA was a translation from the greek word SYNEIDESIS
SYNEIDESIS literally means: "with capacity to imagine".

Bullets fly on busy Joburg intersection
A Johannesburg Metro Police officer was shot in the abdomen and a suspected robber in the leg during a shoot-out this morning.
Senior Superintendent Noxolo Kweza said the shooting on the corners of Oxford and Jan Smuts roads followed a robbery at a catering business in Randburg at 8.15am.
"Three suspects walked into a business, took cash and a laptop and tied up the three people they found inside," said Kweza.
With the laptop and the undisclosed amount of money, the men are alleged to have then flagged down a taxi driving down the road and fled in it.
"But their alleged victims managed to untie themselves and follow the taxi.
"On the way, they saw a Metro Police vehicle and told the officers what had just happened," she said.
The Metro Police officers gave chase and a shoot-out ensued between the officers and the robbers when they got to Oxford and Jan Smuts roads, leaving one officer and one alleged robber injured.
Two other men tried to flee but one of them fell and injured himself, leading to his arrest. The third man is still at large.
Kweza said there had been no passengers in the taxi when the three armed men flagged it down.
Netcare 911 spokesman Chris Botha said the injured officer was taken to the Milpark Hospital while the suspected robber shot on the leg was taken to the Charlotte Maxeke Hospital. - Sapa

Slept. Had a sequestered morning. The sun shining in through my bay window. The life of the river has returned to normal, but for the ferry which seems to have been injured in the flood. The birds are happy and busy. The dogs are merrily walking their people. The green is green.
By my calculating eye, the river was up more than two meters last weekend. And a week later there is little sign of it. Except that the actors who were evacuated from the cottages across from the theatre have moved to their third hotel in a week. This includes the lovely Veronica, who we bumped into moving her third load of items from the upstairs of her cottage. Definitely NOT the thing one wants to be doing on the only day away from our gruelling schedule. I would have had a breakdown.
Went over to the Courtyard Cafe and tried to rectify some email issues. Pam was there busily sending and receiving news and support. I have been completely cut off by my server, and don't know how to deal with it from here. So I've opened a web account to tide me over, it's just very frustrating to be out of contact with home when one is so emotionally vulnerable. I simply do not have the wherewithal to deal with petty communication problems. Blah.
To shed a bit of light, my godson Harry Thomas arrived from Canada for a couple of days at the Ferryhouse. And because it was a glorious day we wandered around town for 2 1/2 hours. We wandered past all the pertinent sights, and popped in a couple of shops, and meandered through the Sunday market, where he bought a fabulous ring. We walked over to Old Town, past Hall's Croft, and through the graveyard at Holy Trinity, and then sat by the river for a while. We went for a grand meal with Jenny and Jade, and by the end of that my head was bobbing.
I had a long chat on the phone with my dear friend David who I miss so much. And by 9:30 I had to go to bed. Harry stayed up to do some writing in the garden, and I crashed.
We are all working at our edge. And we have an important week ahead. A bit of sleep will certainly been an aid.

With at the moment's quick processors, RAM memory and different components, the onerous drive has turn out to be the most important weak point in a modern laptop.

If you think the walls that surround the garden are dull and diminish its beauty, you can actually use them to further enhance this outside area of your home. It can be done by installing wall mounted solar lights outdoor fixtures.
They are a great means of ornamenting gardens
If installation is properly planned, these unique and attractive illuminating features will effectively enhance further the aesthetics of your lawn or garden. They will turn this area into an alluring place many times over. If you opt for such devices, you must select ones that emit off bright, neon-colored lights as these will surely attract and enthrall your visitors, neighbors, and onlookers.
Alternative solar lights for outside walls are a great source of bright and reliable illumination for the surroundings. At the same time, the walls become a radiating masterpiece for everyone to marvel at. You can be creative by placing the fixtures on strategic parts of the wall. You can also hang interesting decors such as paintings on the wall and focus the light on them.
No need to worry about electric wires
Alternative wall lighting is the ideal option if you don't want to deal with the trouble and danger of having electrical wiring lying around your place. Needless to say, a lot of homeowners worry when traditional lights are used since the latter are potential cause for accidents such as fires or injury to kids and pets.
Solar lights for wall mounts secure the property
Apart from being effective tools to beautify the place, you can use these lighting gadgets as a means to secure and protect your property from would-be intruders and criminals. If you are installing them for such purpose, you must go for the type that has a high-wattage solar lighting. This will deliver a focused luminescence that is sure to strongly brighten up your garden, patio, and other exterior portions of the house.
Install it and leave it
The best PV cells are found in the latest alternative energy illuminating fixtures possessing a variety of superb features. A vital one is that they are known to collect much-needed energy from the sun even on a dark cloudy, assuring the user bright lighting for many hours all through the night. Automatically, the lights turn on and off, without even lifting a finger.
These days, the latest models in solar powered lighting products for the walls are built with high efficiency that they are able to deliver the best quality light. They deliver whether day and night, and whatever weather condition it might be.
At the same time, no repair, replacement, or maintenance is necessary since the panels and bulbs are known to be durable and can last for many, many years. Of course, you have to clean the fixtures by wiping them occasionally due to the dust and dirt that had accumulated over time.
Finally, savings and cost-cutting are what you can expect from the use of wall mounted solar lights outdoor, just like with any other alternative energy devices. Since they run via the energy derived from the sun, this means nil expense on your part. And while you will have to spend for the device, the amount will be recovered since its operation is absolutely for free.

"Runningwind is a fine hunter and a loyal warrior, but I don't think he has the patience for mentoring. ThunderClan has better use for his skills."— Bluestar talking about Runningwind in Fire and Ice, page 94
Highest Rank
No information
Previous Name(s)
Runningkit, Runningpaw
Runningwind is a light[1] brown[2] tabby tom.[3]
Runningkit and his sister, Mousekit, are born to White-eye and Sparrowpelt two-and-a-half moons prior to Bluefur's kitting.
As Bluefur kits, his mother tugs him back by his tail, and tucks him in his nest beside his sibling. Half a moon later, Runningkit and Mousekit, said to be three moons older than Bluefur's kits, tease them as they flick lumps of snow then appearing innocent upon being complained of.
The following night, Bluefur makes sure she doesn't disturb White-eye or her kits. She then tells her kits to hush, looking anxiously at White-eye's and her kits' nest, where Runningkit fidgets in his sleep. In response, Bluefur wraps her tail around her kits, until Runningkit is still.
As she brings them to RiverClan, Stonekit asks if their father was Thrushpelt, as Runningkit informed him that White-eye said he was their father. Once Bluefur returns, she makes sure Runningkit, Mousekit, and White-eye are still asleep.
When Runningwind pokes his head out of the warriors den as his Clanmates return home from a Gathering, he notices how upset they are and inquires what the cause of distraught is. He is told that ShadowClan has asked for rights to hunt on ThunderClan land.
After Frostfur's litter is stolen, he is one of the cats who is on the patrol that goes to ShadowClan to bring them back. He is mentioned saying that the task would not be easy but Ashfur says that there is little resistance.
In the process of rescuing the kits, he helps drive out Brokenstar and his followers. He gets clawed badly in the battle as he takes on two unnamed ginger warriors. When offered help, he claims he does not need help and manages to continue to fight off the invaders at the end of the battle.
After a Gathering, Bluestar assigns Runningwind and Dustpaw to a dawn patrol.
The following morning, Whitestorm and Sandpaw accompany them on the dawn patrol. When Fireheart and Graystripe nearly crash into them, Runningwind hisses into Sandpaw's ear that they are going to fetch WindClan after she sneers at them, and Sandpaw's taunts grow into silent curiosity and awe.
When Bluestar chooses Fireheart and Graystripe to be mentors of Frostfur's kits, Tigerclaw disagrees, suggesting Runningwind instead of them. Bluestar replies that while he is a good warrior, he does not yet have the patience to mentor an apprentice.
Graystripe catches a cold and Runningwind is assigned to help train Brackenpaw. He and Fireheart take their apprentices out and begin to show them the different hunting techniques. When Fireheart leaves early saying he is not feeling good, Runningwind comments that he does look off. Runningwind calls out a greeting to Fireheart when he is sharing tongues with Graystripe, but Fireheart just ignores him.
Along with the majority of ThunderClan, he has doubts that Cloudkit, Fireheart's kittypet nephew, could ever become a warrior. He says that the Clan has enough to worry about without another kittypet. He complains that the fluffy tom will eat all of the fresh-kill until the next snowfall and then die from the cold.
Runningwind joins in a meal with Graystripe asking if he had a good hunt. When Fireheart asks if he was going to the next Gathering, he eagerly replies that he is. He later comes back from a patrol on the RiverClan border with Willowpelt, Darkstripe, and Dustpaw. When Whitestorm's patrol returns with rabbit bones covered in ShadowClan scent, Tigerclaw orders Runningwind, Darkstripe, Willowpelt, and Mousefur to come with him on raiding patrol and they leave before Bluestar returns.
However, the patrol is stopped by Brackenpaw, who tells them that the ShadowClan cats are Brokenstar and his rogues. He and Mousefur exchange a glance when they hear that Yellowfang is tending to the former leader's wounds.
One morning, he and Tigerclaw emerge from the warriors' den for the dawn patrol when Onewhisker comes to their camp, saying that WindClan is under attack by ShadowClan and RiverClan. He joins Tigerclaw's patrol, and they go to WindClan territory. They join the battle a few moments after the first ThunderClan patrol enters the battle.
He yowls for help when Nightstar, ShadowClan's leader, has him pinned down. Fireheart dashes over to him and together they fight Nightstar until he is beaten. Afterwards, Runningwind congratulates Fireheart, and promises to tell Bluestar about how well he fought.
When Fireheart asks who is ready for a patrol, Runningwind volunteers, along with Graystripe and Sandstorm. He remarks that Whitestorm and Mousefur are foolish to take all of the apprentices out at once. They patrol the RiverClan border, and when Graystripe comments that RiverClan would not be hunting their prey, Runningwind retorts that he would not put anything past them, and that they would steal the fur off their backs if they let them. When they see that the river has thawed and flooded, Runningwind announces with satisfaction that this will keep them from coming to ThunderClan.
During an invasion from ShadowClan and WindClan, he, Willowpelt, and Sandstorm fall back to guard the nursery as the enemy warriors break into their camp. Just before Cloudkit's apprentice ceremony, he listens as Willowpelt announces that she will be having kits soon. He murmurs a congratulations as Mousefur gives her friend a friendly lick on her ear.
After Tigerclaw's treachery has been revealed and he is exiled, Runningwind wonders, whilst talking to himself, about who the new deputy will be.
As Fireheart struggles to assign patrols for the day, Runningwind awkwardly tells him that Longtail is training with Swiftpaw and could not lead the sunhigh patrol. Fireheart then assigns Runningwind to lead it along with Dustpelt and Darkstripe.
When the patrol returns, he tells Fireheart that they scented Cloudpaw near Twolegplace. Not long after this, he leads Thornpaw out of camp when Fireheart stops him. He tells him that he promised Mousefur that he would teach Thornpaw how to catch squirrels. Fireheart reluctantly lets them go out, though he wants to search for Cloudpaw.
The next morning, an unenthusiastic Runningwind takes Cloudpaw out for hunting at Fireheart's order. Later, he hunts down Fireheart and asks if he has seen Cloudpaw anywhere. When Fireheart responds that he has not, Runningwind angrily tells him that he told Cloudpaw to wait while he washed, but when he had finished, the apprentice had disappeared. He is exasperated when Cloudpaw returns from hunting by himself and watches from the warriors' den as Fireheart scolds him.
Fireheart later assigns him to lead a sunhigh patrol, and also lists his name off as one of the cats who would be going to the Gathering that night.
Runningwind shares prey with Sandstorm a few days later, after she had fought with Fireheart over Cloudpaw. When Fireheart makes amends with Sandstorm, Runningwind does not say a word, but his eyes glow with amusement. He asks sharply what happened to Cloudpaw when Ashpaw came over to them. He frowns when he hears that Cloudpaw had gone to live with Twolegs, remarking that Darkstripe would enjoy the news.
He later goes out on an evening patrol with Mousefur and Thornpaw. Not long after the patrol leaves, Mousefur and Thornpaw return to camp, terrified, explaining to everyone that they were attacked and have no idea where Runningwind is.
Fireheart takes a patrol out to the Thunderpath, where the patrol had been, and sees Runningwind's body, lying lifelessly on the Thunderpath, with Whitethroat standing over him, shocked. It is revealed that his patrol was attacked by Tigerclaw and his band of rogues, and that they had killed Runningwind. His body is then brought back to camp and the Clan sits vigil for him.
At Firestar's leader ceremony, he gives Firestar his fourth life, with the gift of tireless energy, to use to carry out the duties of a leader. As the life is given to him, Firestar feels as if he is racing through the forest, able to outrace any enemy forever.
During the battle against BloodClan, Firestar feels Runningwind, lithe and muscular, fighting next to him, along with the other StarClan cats who gave him his nine lives.
During the battle between the Clans and the Dark Forest, he appears with the rest of StarClan, making Dovewing jump. Firestar asks if Runningwind is still fast on his paws, and Runningwind confirms that he is. Firestar then sends him with Dustpelt to chase off the invading Dark Forest cats.
Later, Runningwind is introduced by Jayfeather as the cat that gave Firestar the life of tireless energy when the tabby cat comes with StarClan to retrieve Firestar's spirit.

"Nature abhors a vacuum"
Europe's Waterloo and the Fearsome Threesome?
Alphen, Netherlands 18 June. It seems somewhat appropriate to be writing this on the 203rd anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo as I feel close to having met mine. Waterloo, that is. What a week – Amsterdam, Stockholm, Rome and Portsmouth. I am knackered. 'Knackered' is a colloquial English term that has two meanings. Very tired, as in my case, or completely failed, as is the case of most of Europe's leaders for that is the conclusion I have drawn from my rapid Grand European Tour. Nowhere on my travels did I meet anyone happy with the situation in Europe, or happy with the way Europeans are NOT being led. There is a leadership vacuum in Europe that is undermining the defence of Europeans. Contrast Europe's 'leaders' with the fearsome threesome who currently hold the whip-hand of power in the world: Putin, Trump and Xi.
Julian's Grand Tour
My week started in Stockholm watching President Trump shaking hands with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The Singapore meeting may have been light on substance but it was heavy on symbolism and in international relations such things matter, so long as they are backed up by power. Indeed, one may not like the leadership on offer from these three paragons of power modesty but it is they who now get to decide what Europeans must endure. Europe? Long on symbolism, short on influence, endlessly talking values, but no power to defend interests.
From Stockholm, I moved onto Rome where I addressed NATO senior officers. In Rome, some form of experiment in government is underway led by a new coalition between academics and populists that will no doubt lead to a lot of erudite papers about complete nonsense. One only has to suffer the state of Rome's roads and see the impact of mass unregulated immigration on the 'eternal city' to see the dangerous reality of modern Italy, a country that I genuinely love. It is clear to me that Italy will in effect cease to be a strategic actor of any weight for the foreseeable future. Italy's armed forces are already under intense pressure from a lack of investment. It is a situation likely only to get worse.
Having left Rome I made my increasingly knackered way to Portsmouth via Amsterdam and Southampton. My purpose was to give a talk at a conference to mark fifty years since the first patrol by a British ballistic missile submarine, HMS Resolution. Sadly, the only thing I could see afloat in the dockyard of any real capability was good old HMS Metaphor. As this week's new report by the House of Commons Defence Committee entitled Beyond 2 Percent states, "the Government must break out of the pattern, observable in past reviews, of strategic direction being lost because the conclusions of the review are inadequately funded and ultimately unsustainable…" Amen to that!
The May Government lacks ambition, imagination or creativity and has become dangerously risk averse. For example, I had suggested to both the White House and London that President Trump be invited to give a speech on burden-sharing on board the brand new 70,000 ton aircraft-carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth. My idea was initially very well-received on both sides of the Atlantic and as far as I know is still welcome in the White House. My reasoning was simple: if President Trump is to berate Europeans about a lack of burden-sharing at or around the July Brussels NATO Summit then at least put him on the deck of high-end European 'asset' so that he could put some positive spin on it. By giving such a speech on 'Big Lizzie' the Trump message could then be hard and fair at the same time: "with the right political will America's allies can invest in the kind of high-end military capability that will help share America's great burden etc. etc." Europeans need to realise and fast that America's legitimate grievance over burden-sharing goes far beyond, and far deeper than President Trump.
The symbolism of such a speech on that ship at this time would have sent a powerful message about Britain, the Special Relationship and future European capabilities. Sadly, over the weekend I learnt that the idea has been scrapped because it might be humiliating for Britain if there are no F-35Bs on board HMS Queen Elizabeth as yet. First, the reason for any such 'humiliation' could only be the strategic illiteracy of Britain's leaders and the lack of imagination it engenders. Second, four new British F-35Bs flew across the Atlantic and arrived in the UK this month. If they cannot yet land on the deck of 'Big Lizzie' at least get them to do a fly past as President Trump concludes his remarks. Such spinelessness simply reveals a Government and an elite that lack ambition, lack imagination and lack creativity. It also explains why Little Britain is declining fast - the little people who govern it.
In Europe, only President Macron has the vision needed to prepare Europeans for a challenging twenty-first century world, but without Germany's support (which he lacks) Macron's ambitions are far bigger than his country. And 'bigness' is the nub of Europe's problem. None of Europe's leaders have the vision or the courage to confront the big problems Europeans must collectively face. Europe faces immense challenges that for too long have been ducked and which range from the modernisation and digitisation of the European economy to cope with twenty-first century globalism, the consequences of mass flows of unregulated migrants into Europe, Europe's new and rapidly worsening threat agenda to the urgent need to modernise Europe's security and defence architectures.
Berlin and the Loisach Group
This week, somewhat re-fortified, I will travel to Berlin to attend the high-level US-German Loisach Group of which I am a proud member. Organised by the Munich Security Conference and the George C. Marshall Center the work of the Group is vital, not least because of London's refusal to invest strategic ambition or political commitment in the UK-US Special Relationship. Indeed, if London does not break out of its strategic and political torpor the US-German Essential Relationship offers the best hope for a renewed transatlantic relationship that organises democratic power to good security and defence effect. However, whilst the US-German relationship may be essential, it is by no means 'special', particularly at the moment.
For this vital relationship to flourish Americans and Germans will need to agree that the dangers that face both North Americans and Europeans are roughly the same and that the policy and strategy solutions they seek are compatible. That will mean modesty in leadership from the Americans and leadership in leadership from the Germans neither of which seem particularly likely. Worse, in Europe's strongest power, 'leadership' is conspicuous by its absence. From being Queen Angela of Europe a couple of years ago Chancellor Merkel is now in open conflict with her interior minister Horst Seehofer over migration. She wants a 'European solution', which means no solution, whilst he wants Germany to close its borders to migrant flows. President Trump, on the other hand, seems more at home and more comfortable dealing with the likes of Putin, Xi, and dare I say it, Kim. That Hieronymus Bosch-style photograph of Merkel trying to face down Trump at the G7 was a picture that spoke far more than a thousand political words.
A West in Crisis or a Europe in Crisis?
What that photo revealed was a West that is now mired in deep crisis, or rather a Europe that is in deep crisis. European leaders like to blame President Trump for a lot and at times he almost revels in the role of being European Scapegoat-in-Chief. However, the crisis Europeans face is entirely of European leader's own making. Years of refusing to face new power-realities in the world, years of uttering empty slogans about 'Europe' (and much else), years of talking too much and doing too little have reduced Europe to the dangerous situation in which it now finds itself.
Against that backdrop, there are eight lessons that I draw from my grand tour of Europe over the past week:
1. Europeans must stop talking about some future common defence. The defence of Europe will be conducted by European states working together. Collective defence is what Europeans should aspire to and President Macron is right to call for a European (not EU) Intervention Force.
2. There will be no common defence until there is a European Government and by the time there might be a European Government parts of Europe could be speaking Russian…again.
3. Keep all serious defence away from the European Union. Brussels is too focused on using 'defence' to undermine the European nation-state so that it can centralise ever more power on its illegitimate self.
4. A European defence that is a consequence of yet more defence cuts will afford no defence at all. All defence cuts are matched by a similar loss of strategic ambition.
5. The future defence of Europe needs real political leadership. At times of weak government, political bureaucrats take-over power and they are instinctively risk-averse. Just look at Britain.
6. Given the growing pressure US armed forces face to maintain their world-wide, high-end defence and deterrence posture Washington will only be able to afford Europeans a defence guarantee that is credible if Europeans do far more for their own defence and for the Americans and focus such an effort on NATO.
7. Before significant increases in European defence expenditure can take place Europeans need to collectively agree the capabilities and capacities European future forces need and begin a sustained programme of reform and re-structuring.
8. If the European Commission succeeds in its efforts to damage Britain for Brexit there is a real risk that London will retreat behind its nuclear shield and effectively abandon its role in the defence of Europe. Worse, London might abandon once and for all any pretence at being a major power, when in fact it still is.
Which brings me back to Stockholm where I started my week. Of all the countries I visited the Swedes were the most clear-headed about the challenges Europeans face because they understood one thing very clearly: Europeans will not be more secure by trying to hide from threat and danger. If Europe is to be defended its leaders must collectively climb down off the vacuous Euro-cloud upon which they have for too long been perched and start properly dealing with the real problems ordinary Europeans face and meet the real strategic challenges Europe and the wider West must confront together. Read between the lines of a good speech by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte last week to the European Parliament and at least one leader seems to understand that European leaders need to do less talking to each other and more talking to their peoples. If not, 'Europe' will continue its precipitous and dangerous decline into strategic irrelevance and in the process make not only Europe but the wider world a much more dangerous place than it need be.
As Aristotle (and Rabelais) once said, "Nature abhors a vacuum", but so does power. And, if Europeans do not re-learn 'power' and fast someone else will impose it upon them. Then, like Napoleon, Europe will at some point face its own Waterloo…which, for the record, was won by Wellington!

The Global Goals
Design a universal messaging system for the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that is recognizable and accessible to 7 billion people around the world.
Bring together teams from the UN's 193 member nations to help distill a simple, sustainable communication system that transcends regional, cultural, and linguistic barriers.
Seventeen unique icons and a clear messaging framework help raise awareness and communicate progress for "The Global Goals" in affecting social and environmental change by 2030.
+ Brand Strategy + Brand Architecture + Visual Identity + Naming + Logo Design + Graphic Design + Icon Design + Experiential Design + Web Design + Animation + Data Visualization + Print Design + Illustration + Copywriting + Editing + Brand Guidelines + Toolkits
Invaluable insights from UN ambassadors and NGOs pushed us to develop icons that could be universally understood. The designs and palette carefully consider cross-cultural relevance and symbolism. The circular logotype for the master brand is an expression of unity using the full palette from the icon system.
We made the language of the SDG resolution more approachable by simplifying the messaging and crafting a powerful manifesto.
Icons to Outcomes
In partnership with Project Everyone and Numbers in Action, we evolved the language of the Global Goals system for print and motion. The infographics visualize projected outcomes for the Goals through 2030, communicating our progress towards eradicating poverty, reversing climate change, and achieving gender equality.
Our branding has been adapted for installations, events, and conferences around the world since the Fall 2015 launch. Nearly every event designed to propagate the message uses our design system in some capacity. Content has included Fifty Nine Productions' building projections at the UN building; collateral for the Global Citizen festival; and branded pavilions for the World Economic Forum in Davos and Habitat III in Quito.
The New Division
The Global Goals brand inspired the launch of The New Division: a communications agency dedicated to civic-minded and sustainable messaging. Based in Stockholm, The New Division seeks to educate and guide companies towards future-positive messages that can be understood by everyone. Learn more at www.thenewdivision.world.

LONDON -- An early morning anti-terrorism raid on a notorious Finsbury Park mosque here Monday showed how the rules of the game have changed in Britain's struggle with Islamic extremism.
Illuminated by two police helicopters, about 150 officers in riot gear stormed the mosque at 2 a.m. using battering rams and ladders. They arrested seven suspects in the investigation of a terrorist network involved in the production of a deadly poison and the slaying of a police detective. A search of the mosque turned up canisters of CS tear gas, a stun gun and an imitation firearm along with potentially significant documents, police said.
The raid also sent an emphatic message: Police have decided to get tough with a house of worship that, according to European law enforcement, has openly recruited Islamic extremists and supported terrorist acts. The three-story red-brick structure, which stands next to elevated railroad tracks, has been a crossroads connecting European ideologues to Afghan training camps and Islamic battlegrounds in Chechnya, Bosnia- Herzegovina and the Middle East, according to investigators.
The North London Central Mosque played a role in the radicalization of scores of "holy warriors," including Richard Reid, the Al Qaeda "shoe bomber" convicted of trying to blow up an American Airlines flight, and Zacarias Moussaoui, the Frenchman on trial in the Sept. 11 terrorist conspiracy, police say. Its Egyptian-born imam, a one-eyed cleric with hooks for hands named Sheik Abu Hamza al Masri, has been a very public face of hard-core Islam. His glorification of Osama bin Laden and his active contact with accused terrorists around the world have made him the target of investigators in the U.S. and other countries.

Khancha to vie for best foreign language film in Oscars
Poriborton Correspondent 8:49 pm, September 28, 2017
Khancha, a film made under the banner of Impress Telefilm Limited with government grant, has been picked up to vie for the best foreign language film in the 90th Academy Awards, The Oscars. Bangladesh committee for the 90th Academy Awards nominated the movie directed by Akram Khan over "Sona Bondhu".
