Military lawyers to sue Pentagon over cancer-linked Guantanamo housing, work areas
Military lawyers to sue Pentagon over cancer-linked Guantanamo housing, work areas
WASHINGTON (Tribune News Service) — A group of military lawyers who work at the Guantanamo Bay prison are expected to file a lawsuit Tuesday against the Department of Defense, saying they have been forced to live and work in facilities with dangerous levels of known carcinogens for years.
They charge that the U.S. Navy failed to properly investigate health hazards following reports of unusually high cancer cases among otherwise young and healthy personnel at Camp Justice, the war court complex where legal teams work on the cases of war-on-terror detainees.
The complaint cites the Navy's "unreasonable delay" in assessing known environmental hazards such as mercury and formaldehyde, and its "arbitrary and capricious determination that … personnel must live and work in contaminated areas of Camp Justice before a proper investigation and appropriate remediation are completed."
The presence of cancer-causing agents has long been a cause of anxiety among the military defense teams who represent the terror detainees at the remote prison.
"This really is having a human level impact on people who have signed up to do this work," said Daniel Small, a partner at Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, which is working on the Guantanamo lawyers' case without charge.
"These are soldiers, sailors, Marines who have signed up to do some of the hardest legal work that exists in my opinion in the Department of Defense, and these people deserve better," he said. "We should be making sure that we are protecting them, taking care of these soldiers who have signed up to a fairly thankless task."
The filing comes nearly two years after a former Guantanamo attorney asked the Pentagon in July 2015 to investigate whether the war court compound was linked to seven cases of cancer among service members and civilians who'd worked there. One of those seven people, Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler, had cancer of the appendix and died days after the complaint was filed.
The Miami Herald at that time found a dozen people who'd suffered a wide range of cancers, including brain, colon, stomach and appendix cancer.
Higher-ranking officials, judges and civilian attorneys usually stay in hotel-style guest accommodations known as "hard housing" when they go to the base. But the military defense team assigned to each accused terrorist, which includes lawyers, paralegals, security officers, linguists and others, stay and work in a trailer park set up on an abandoned airstrip.
The so-called Cuzco trailers opened in 2008 and are part of the $12 million facility that includes buildings that were closed down before the Pentagon set up the prison in 2002. In the 1990s, the area was used as a camp for Cuban migrants who'd been picked up at sea during the so-called rafter crisis.
One of the plaintiffs, Michael Schwartz, a former military lawyer who represented Guantanamo detainees for more than five years, said in an interview that he was shocked when he first arrived at the legal center in 2011.
"I was just amazed when I walked into my office for the first time and saw (these) work stations for what was eventually one of the most significant criminal trials in the history of law in the U.S.," he said. While he had expected spartan conditions, he said he was not expecting to be worried for his health.
In 2012, he and his colleagues first brought up their concerns "about rat feces and mold and just general filth in the office because nobody seemed to be paying attention," Schwartz said. "But we weren't successful in getting much of a response."
As they grew increasingly worried and some staff members sought hospital care, the military sent a base industrial hygienist "with no scientific background or training," he said.
In addition to lead, mold and asbestos, a 2015 assessment found that "air samples tested positive for mercury and formaldehyde, and the soil samples tested positive for benzoapyrene – all carcinogenic substances," according to the filing.
Although these carcinogens exceeded the screening levels, the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center said it didn't have enough data and that the investigation was too limited to be able to assess the health risks.
The Navy also neglected to test 84 out of 100 units in the Cuzco trailers for formaldehyde, according to the filing.
"It's in the air that's breathed all day long by people working and living in those spaces, even though it was determined it was above EPA screening levels," Small said.
The military said that it would assess the potential impact of this range of cancer-causing agent, and check the health files of 700 people who worked at the site.
A promised final report of the health testing never materialized.
"The first and second deadlines came and went, and nothing since," Small said. "This is a long time for these kinds of serious conditions to go unaddressed, and for some reason the Navy does not seem to have any urgency about this."
Many lawyers have struggled to limit their travel to the base, live in alternative housing when they can, and reduce the number of team members they bring with them to avoid exposing them to health hazards.
"They have made the tough choice to defend their clients even when it creates risks to their health," Small said. "But you have a professional obligation to show up and do your job in the Camp Justice offices, and appear in a Camp Justice courtroom."
In April 2016, Brig. Gen. John Baker, the chief defense counsel for military commissions, forbade his staff to sleep in the Cuzcos after seeing the health risk assessment of cancer-causing agents conducted by the Navy-Marine Corps. While the report was inconclusive, a copy obtained by the Miami Herald shows that it looked into a variety of contaminants around the complex, including asbestos and mercury in offices used by attorneys, arsenic in soil samples, and toxic polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, found in the hangar where reporters write.
"At this time, the potential cancer risk and non-cancer health effects associated with Camp Justice and any final conclusions (and risk management actions) cannot be determined," said the Navy-Marine Corps risk assessment, which was dated February 2016.
The following month, Baker notified troops that he had been assured that the trailer park with formaldehyde was habitable, and that he would sleep in the previously forbidden trailers.
"People have been living in these spaces for many years, and known about the contamination for almost two," Small said, adding that the Navy took no further steps after tests last April still found elevated levels of carcinogens.
The attorneys are asking the Department of Defense to complete the testing and do a proper risk assessment that applies the required health standards. In the meantime, they are asking to live in alternative housing, which they say is abundantly available.
"Our understanding so far is that they have not prioritized this and would rather make hard housing available to other people who come to the base on a temporary basis, contractors and others like that, rather than make a priority the health of the people they're requiring to be at Camp Justice to defend the detainees," Small said.
Of the roughly 780 people who have been sent to the prison since 2002, only 41 remain, but President Donald Trump has indicated that he intends to keep it open and fill it with more prisoners.

Creamy coconut milk ice cream with fresh blueberries frozen to perfection! No ice cream maker needed for this no churn ice cream recipe. Let it thaw for a few minutes and it tastes just as good as a favorite soft serve dessert treat!
I scream, you scream we all scream for ice cream!!!
When I think about ice cream I think about the soft serve ice cream I used to get as a kid in Lake Wallenpaupack, PA on our yearly family vacation. Every summer my family would head out to the Pocono Mountains with my grandparents and it is one of my favorite vacation memories! We would drive three hours from our New Jersey home to a quaint little cabin in the woods by a lake. As a kid three hours felt like forever! I remember always fighting with my brother and sister in our old school brown station wagon. Remember those?! You don't see station wagons around too often now a days!
There was so much to do in our cabin by the lake vacation… like just being present and enjoy nature. My brother, sister and I went fishing at 6:00 am with my dad a few mornings while mom and my pop-pop made us mickey mouse pancakes. Afternoons were spent lounging on the dock, playing in the water, adventuring on a ski boat or going on nature hikes. And in the evenings we played miniature golf and took long walks on the Promenade. Following those walks and a game of golf we always celebrated vacation with soft serve ice cream at the local sweet spot.
I love how food brings back yummy memories. Last week my boys and I went blueberry picking with friends.
And spotted a few little cuties holding hands in the blueberry fields when they thought the mamas weren't looking:-)
Last year after our blueberry extravaganza we went straight home and made these awesome almond flour blueberry muffins. This year we decided it would be fun to make coconut milk ice cream, no churn of course since I don't own an ice cream maker.
The recipe derived from my chocolate ice cream recipe, just tweaked a bit with added lemon juice and blueberries instead of chocolate. Ice cream flavors can totally be tweaked a bit when using a coconut milk ice cream recipe base.
The secret to creamy coconut milk ice cream…refrigerate the coconut milk can for 24 hours first, then open it upside down, pour out and reserve the water to drink for its high potassium and magnesium. Then use the full fat coconut milk to heat.
I love to make dairy free ice cream with canned coconut milk. It is super easy and kids benefit from the saturated fats from the coconut for brain development. My boys devoured their ice cream in minutes!
If you do not prefer the coconut flavor from coconut milk, just substitute the coconut milk for dairy cream. Either way your blueberries in cream will taste amazing! Ice cream sandwiches are another great option to make with this coconut milk ice cream. How delicious would this ice cream recipe be sandwiched between two cookies!?
Coconut Milk Ice Cream With Fresh Blueberries
- 2 13.5 ounce cans of coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries
- In a large saucepan on low heat, whisk the coconut milk, sugar, lemon juice, egg yolks and vanilla. Cook the custard over low-medium heat whisking constantly for about 6 minutes until very hot and thickened. Do not let it boil.
- Remove from heat and put in a glass container. Let cool.
- If not using an ice cream maker- cover container and place in the freezer. Stir about every ½ hour for 2 hours. Then freeze an additional 4-6 hours (6-8 total), until firm.
- If using an ice cream maker- skip Step 3. Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers' directions. Transfer to a glass or plastic container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
- When ready to serve let set for about 10-15 minutes until soft enough to handle.

How your vehicle can be used
Before you can lease a vehicle through the Motability Scheme, you'll need to make sure that you're happy with the Scheme's terms and conditions.
We'll ask you to make sure:
- The car is used by, or for the benefit of, the disabled person. This does not mean that the disabled person needs to be in the car for every journey. In practice, this means other named drivers in the household can use the car for shopping and other routine activities, as long as the disabled customer will benefit. To ensure that you are gaining direct benefit from your Motability Scheme car, in some cases we may talk to you about fitting a location tracker. An example of this could be if none of your named drivers are resident at your address or you live in a care home where a number of drivers have access to the car. If this is the case, we will always speak to you in advance.
- Only named drivers listed on your Certificate of Motor Insurance can drive the car*.
- That you let us know about any changes that may affect your lease.
*We will only accept drivers who have a legally valid driving licence. Drivers with a non-UK driving licence will be subject to additional checks.
Protecting the Scheme
At the time of ordering your new car, you, your nominated drivers and the Motability Scheme dealer will need to sign a 'Statement of Responsibilities' form Will download a resource(PDF 37KB) to confirm you understand and agree to follow the terms and conditions for using your Motability Scheme vehicle.
To ensure you get the maximum benefit from your car, any named drivers should live close to your home address, ideally within around five miles. However, we do understand that this may not be possible for everyone. In order to protect the Scheme, there are a few rules surrounding who can drive your car.
- If none of the named drivers live at the disabled customer's address, or the disabled customer lives in a care home where a number of drivers have access to the car, we may consider fitting a location tracker. This is to ensure the customer is gaining direct benefit from the car. We will always speak to the customer to discuss this in advance of a tracker being fitted.
- Drivers aged under 25 are restricted to cars with an ABI Insurance Group 16 or lower and with a power output of 120 brake horsepower (BHP) or less. This does not apply to Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles. For more information, speak to your dealer or visit thatcham.org/abigrouprating
- Only one named driver under 21 is permitted. This could be the disabled customer, or another driver living at the same address.
Misuse would include:
- Not giving the disabled person the benefit of the car
- Driving whilst uninsured or banned
- Using the car in a criminal act
- Lending, sub-leasing or selling the car
- Using the car for unauthorised business purposes, for example, as a taxi driver or delivery vehicle
- Not taking proper care of your car
If your car is misused
When we are given information about misuse, we always investigate. If we find serious misuse or severe damage we reserve the right to take action that could include:
- Terminating the lease
- Excluding you from getting another Motability Scheme car
- Sending you the bill for any repairs or estimated loss in sale value.
Reporting misuse
If you are concerned that someone is misusing any Motability Scheme vehicle, please use our contact form to report the issue .

Large fire in Be'eri Forest caused by Muslim terrorists flying firebombs attached to kites
BREAKING: Muslim terrorists in Gaza continue to perpetrate eco-terrorism attacks by flying firebombs attached to kites over the security border fence into Israeli territory. A large fire has broken out near Kibbutz Be'eri; multiple fire department units are dealing with the fire.
By 7:30pm, the fire continued to slowly reduce hundreds of dunams of woodland to ash, as ten firefighter teams scrambled to contain the it, battling high temperatures, dry weather and strong easterly winds that fanned the flames.
Around three to four of the kites are sent by Hamas terrorists across the Gaza-Israel border each day, and have so far incinerated agricultural lands in Israel's southern region, with wheat fields being set aflame and ecological damage caused to the country.
Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon and Tax Authority Director Eran Yaakov decided on Tuesday to recognize farmers from the Gaza Belt area who are dealing with recent kite terrorism as victims of hostile acts.

Yesterday Rebecca did a solo show at Hemming Park in downtown Jacksonville. The day was hot, but shade from the trees and a gentle breeze made it comfortable. I met so many people as I did roadie duties, and every exchange was pleasant. I took note of all the different types of people there. The park is, like our country, a melting pot. After the performance ended, I witnessed something that touched me deeply.
There was an elderly gentleman who listened to Rebecca's music. He was sitting near the table I shared with our friend Jared Rush, film producer and artist rep. I noticed the man when I returned to my seat after refilling her water. I could tell he was enjoying himself. She did a variety of music—country, roots blues, Americana, a few pop tunes.
As she put her guitars up, the elderly gentleman walked up onto the ramp to the stage, and he started talking to her. I was answering emails, but I looked up just in time to see Rebecca open her arms and hug the man. Shortly thereafter, Jared helped us pack up and we headed home quickly because it looked like a storm was coming.
We both have a busy week, so we didn't have time to talk much after her show, but this morning I called to ask her what the man said to her before she hugged him.
She said he told her he loved her music and her voice. "Then he asked if he could hug me."
I told her I found that hug so symbolic because of where it happened. She asked me what I was talking about.
I told her the story of Ax Handle Saturday. On August 27, 1960, whites who opposed integration attacked black protesters. Ax handles were the segregationists' weapons of choice. There's an excellent account of this historic event in the Global Nonviolent Action database at Swarthmore College. It's interesting to note that the turmoil wasn't remedied by politicians of that day.
Instead it was the private sector, largely the business sector, who took steps to resolve barriers to integration. A report on Hemming Park prepared by the City of Jacksonville in 2016 explained:
"The violent attacks of the young demonstrators on August 27, 1960 shocked the white community which in turn galvanized action, particularly by the business community, to address race relations. Concerned about continued national exposure to Jacksonville's negative racial climate and its impact on the city's business appeal, the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce and other community and religious leaders, circumvented the lack of action by Mayor Haydon Burns to create a biracial committee to address this explosive issue. Their efforts eventually lead to the integration of downtown restaurants, but more importantly created the momentum needed to address other problems…"
Hemming Park has withstood wars, social turmoil, the great Jacksonville fire, and at one point, complete neglect. That park has been a center of the town since its inception. In the early 1900s there was even an alligator, "Big Joe" who lived in the park's fountain. Big Joe ultimately moved on to lusher quarters at the zoo. I highly recommend reading that report if you're a history buff. It's very well-written and enlightening.
Today there is a plaque at Hemming Park to commemorate Ax Handle Saturday.
I explained all this to Rebecca, and I also explained why I didn't take a photo of her hugging that gentleman whose skin happened to be darker than hers, although I do often make photos of her with her supporters. For one thing, it would have been perceived as exploitative by some who don't know us personally.
For another, it isn't unusual for my daughter to hug a black man because our family is multi-colored.
Whatever criticisms are lobbed at Jacksonville's downtown, they fall flat if you visit Hemming Park. There is no plot of ground more diverse and welcoming in our present day than that time-proven 1+ acres where so much history has taken place. Hemming Park is a gem smack in the middle of our city's heart.
As I watched her hug that gentleman who was a complete stranger, I reflected on the amazing changes I have witnessed in my lifetime and what a span of fifty years or so can bring. After we talked about it this morning, I told Rebecca what a beautiful moment that was for me to witness because of the times I grew up in and my own early devotion to civil rights issues as well as my knowledge of some of the history of the park.
We are constantly reminded how far we still have to go. Sometimes it's good to point out how far we have come.
Then Rebecca reminded me of something.
"Mom, that's how music is supposed to work," she said. "It's a bridge, remember?"
Ed. Note: Hemming Park has many activities for all who live in our area. Keep up with the live music schedule at special events at Hemming Park on the web, or at the park's Facebook page.

Exchange of Christmas gifts between the prisoners of the Making for Change unit and the girls from the San Patrignano weaving workshop
The project launched by the London College of Fashion, San Patrignano and the training section in fashion tailoring of the London prison Downview continues beyond the borders and in the name of friendship.
On the occasion of Christmas, the detainees of the Making for Change unit and the girls from the San Patrignano textile workshop exchanged small hand-crafted gifts accompanied by letters. The correspondence falls within the sphere of social responsibility of the "Conscious contemporary tailoring" project, intended to support the development of the interactions between people involved in fashion production, to facilitate dialogue between students and companies aimed at social rehabilitation of the individual.
The women of Making for Change have designed and produced accessories, some original models of Victorian inspiration, with high quality fabrics donated by the Zegna Foundation, creations including collars, cuffs, bibs, bracelets and hair bands. These were sent to San Patrignano with accompanying tickets.
In response, the girls from San Patrignano sent small silk fabric cases, each with a handwritten letter inside. The envelopes were made with materials donated by various Italian textile factories to the Community.
One of the participants in the Making for Change project expressed how much she liked to create an accessory like this: "It is a great pleasure to work together putting our ideas and skills into practice". Others have stressed how much their artifacts were made with love and how much they hope the girls from San Patrignano can be happy to receive them and wear them. Another participant wrote: "It has been stimulating to discover that bijoux can come from the fabric. Something I had never thought about. This opportunity gave me hope to believe that I will be able to realize myself once I get out of here ". Even if they have never met, a feeling of strong female solidarity emerges from the letters. One of the weaver of San Patrignano wrote in a letter: "You girls did an incredible job, I really liked it! Thanks for all the time and effort you have put to make these things so beautiful. I wish you the best for your life and I hope everything goes well. Be yourself, be strong and believe in yourself and in your value. You already have proved of this with your work ".

MGM, Fox to Provide $8.7M Worth of James Bond Films to End Class Action
Assuming all die-hards who purchased the 50th anniversary James Bond DVD box set wish to get their hands on the 007 movie in which David Niven played the British spy, MGM and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will now be providing it at no extra charge. This past week, a motion for final approval of a class action settlement was filed in Washington federal court that could mean $8.7 million worth of digital copies of Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again are made available to consumers.
A little more than a year ago, Mary Johnson sued on behalf of herself and others who bought the Bond 50 box set upon packaging that stated, "All the Bond films gathered together for the first time," only to be disappointed by the absence of the above-mentioned two films. The lawsuit claimed a violation of Washington's Consumer Protection Act.
Neither Casino Royale nor Never Say Never Again were associated with MGM. The first was a Columbia Pictures spoof starring Niven, Woody Allen, Peter Sellers and Orson Welles. The latter was a film from Kevin McClory, the screenwriter who worked with Bond author Ian Fleming in creating Thunderball and who at one point claimed co-ownership in the character. Sean Connery reprised the role that made him famous.
"Despite representing that the Sets contain EVERY charismatic star, David Niven, the 'charismatic star' of Casino Royale is missing from the Sets," stated the complaint, which added for extra context, "David Niven was James Bond creator Ian Fleming's first choice to play James Bond in the James Bond movies."
Pffft, responded the defendants.
"[N]o reasonable purchaser would expect that a box set would contain films that are not included on the list of titles clearly printed on its packaging," argued MGM in a motion to dismiss.
U.S. District Court judge Ricardo Martinez had some fun in the subsequent decision to allow the case to move forward.
"At this time, the Court will Live and Let Die," he wrote in a pun-laden decision allowing some claims to survive and others to fall by the wayside. "The Court finds the questions of how a reasonable person would interpret 'all' and 'every' and what qualifies as a James Bond film remain for the trier of fact to decide. These terms are not unequivocally puffery as a matter of law."
Disappointingly, there will be no trial because the parties have seemingly done the math and figured out the cost of litigation wasn't worth fussing over popular understanding of the Bond franchise.
According to court papers, class members who don't opt out of the settlement and timely file a valid claim form will receive digital copies of the two "non-franchise" films. An attorney for the plaintiffs estimates this is worth approximately $8,694,000, although that figure obviously assumes opt-ins and is calculated from the $13.99 cost on Amazon for Never Say Never Again and the $14.99 cost on Amazon for Casino Royale.
The $8.7 million figure is also probably presented with an eye on getting the judge to approve $350,000 in fees and costs for the attorneys at Eisenhower Carlson.
As for Johnson, she not only gets the two Bond films to complete her set, but also an "incentive payment award" of $5,000. But maybe she deserves it as she states in a declaration that the case exposed her to substantial publicity while adding, that "at times this publicity was very hostile."
Oh, and one more settlement term...
According to the motion for approval, "The Settlement Agreement also ensures that packaging of future Sets will describe the contents of the Sets so that it is clear that any collection does not include these non-franchise movies."

I'm reviewing these two records together as I listened to them both on a very long train journey, along with a lot of other records. I cannot remember a single thing about either one of them. I should probably be professional & give them a re-listen, but being forgettable is one of the worst crimes in music. So there you go, forgettable. Nat King Cole would not approve.

Clayton Bush
If you like John Mayer, Coldplay, and The Goo Goo Dolls this record is right up your alley! Fan's set the price at claytonbush.com so get it here and pay what you want, even $0. If you want it I want you to have it.
"Clayton places his pop-fueled vocals upon a laid-back, acoustic-rock background to give breath of fresh air to his songs. The album begins with "Metaphors," which is acoustic pop mastery. His upbeat vocals and uplifting music make you stand up and take notice. His voice on "Hometown Hero" is so warming that you get wrapped up in his lyrics as you can feel the passion he has for his song-writing...Bush gets a little funky on "Stoned" before hitting the pop mainstream with "Come Lift Me Up." The album closes with the acoustic, country-sway of "Hunny" as his vocals fully take over."

I only know because of the memes but people are reporting that places all over the world are selling out of hand soap, sanitizer, toilet paper, and masks. It would seem people are so terrified of catching it, they are overbuying to try to stop it. The best way to prevent it though is to ensure everyone has access to soap, TP, masks, and sanitizer so it ends up doing more harm than good.
Not only this but people are crowding into shopping centers, drug stores, and groceries which in turn makes it more likely to spread the virus.
While I am not worried about the virus at all, I am worried that because of the way people are acting, someone who can get deathly ill from it will catch it.
Is it good or bad the way people are acting over the coronavirus?

Things can get difficult.
As a person in my mid-40s, I've seen and experienced difficulty. Some in my life. Some in the life of my friends and family. Some in the life of my students. Some from afar, from news, media and reading.
When things do get difficult, I often remember what normal is.
For a long time, several decades, I thought I knew what normal was. Normal was what was around us all the time. Normal was what I saw, and what I ate, and what I heard, and what I experienced.
In a personal quest to understand everything, I stumbled upon a number of clues which led me to learn that what I thought was normal was not normal at all, but only commonplace. That I had grown up, that we had all grown up, in a civilization that was anything but normal, and so our experiences were anything but normal as well.
There were a number of milestones in this life quest of mine, and I'll share a few:
* Learning that meat and animal products were the results of suffering and torture. I had a clue to this after reading "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair in high school, but it was not until I read "Animal Liberation" by Peter Singer, that I learned the facts about factory farms, and how this civilization treats animals raised in captivity. Believing I was directly contributing to this system through my purchases and consumption, I stopped participating. I stopped buying animal products and I stopped consuming animal products. I became suddenly aware and interested in where my money was going, and what it was supporting.
* Figuring out how rising gasoline prices would impact my students and their families, especially those "low income" families. This led to learning about peak oil, the moment that oil extraction, globally, begins its inevitable permanent decline, and how that would impact the U.S. economy and civilization itself. This concerned me so much, that I spent years sharing this information with anyone who would listen, and learning a great deal about money, economics, and yes, this civilization as well.
* How this civilization is consuming (for lack of a clearer term) the living Earth and changing it, the climate, the surface, the oceans, and life itself. Eventually, I developed a mental model of how civilization itself was like an organism (a super organism, a "social organism) which consumed matter and energy, and for which energy is the master resource, which is always sought, and which fuels the ongoing consumption.
These might not be in order, and they certainly will not be abundantly clear in so few words, but there was a period there, roughly a decade, where my entire conception of life, difficulty, and normal changed.
During this time, the most important learning was about normal.
For this, the prime source were the few books of Daniel Quinn, also an educator, who wrote these books with the desire of helping people who were facing difficulty; and more generally, to help the great number of people to understand what normal is, and what normal is not.
Quinn's key works are Ishmael, the Story of B, and My Ishmael; which form an educational trilogy, and illuminate how this civilization is different from anything that came before, and was anything but normal.
Let's consider these ideas for a moment.
Humans evolved on this planet, along and among all the other living things here, for millions of years. Millions and millions. Here we are now, along with all the other living things that are here now, and we are all the ones that were "successful". An unbroken line can be traced from every one of us, back in time, through our ancestors, to the very first living thing(s). We are all here because our ancestors were successful, at every step of the way. Those living things that were not successful? They are extinct. For whatever reason, those lines ended. Perhaps whatever mutation, or adaptation, that occurred in each of those animals made it well suited for something, but when there was a change in the climate, this was actually a disadvantage.
For humans, our ancestors, our nth great grandparents, lived and evolved in small communities (bands, groups, tribes, etc.) and lived our lives in these small communities. Over millions of years, there were mutations, adaptations, changes both in humans physiology and culture, changes which provided them with advantages that made them successful, year after year after year. In fact, there are still communities in the world that live very successful way. They are few. They are the uncontacted peoples, primarily of New Guinea and the Amazon.
For humans who did not have these physiological or cultural changes, they were not successful, and eventually they died out.
Some time, about 10,000 years ago, totalitarian agriculture developed, and that led to the birth of this civilization.
Amongst the many differences, and perhaps the key difference, between the way our ancestors lived before this civilization, and now as part of this civilization, are these:
Eating. When our ancestors ate, they just reached out a hand, grabbed some food, and ate it. They might walk around a bit to see what looked the most edible and tasty, and then they grabbed it and ate it. They might go around as a group, and find some food, and eat it. They might even go out as a group, find some food, eat some, and bring some back to their families and friends. What they never did was to lock up the food, or try to sell the food, or to deny anyone food, or grow much food, or to store massive quantities of food, or to prevent others (including non-human animals) from enjoying the food that was growing.
In this civilization, this is a defining difference. Here, all the food is grown by civilization, shipped, stored, and sold. Where grown, it is "owned", which means that by force, others will be prevented from getting any, and this even includes non-human animals. And, it is not just grown, but the land is literally conquered in order to grow only food for this civilization, and none others. There are mono-crops, and factory farms, and an entire system of distribution that ensures that everyone that has "money" can get some.
Normal is not this. Humans did not evolve for millions of years in civilization. In fact, the physiological evolution which has occurred in humans in the last 10,000 years has been minimal at best. Before that, millions of years, millions and millions, of living as one with the world and the rest of the community of life, and living in communities, which ate together, lived together, shared together, played together, and experienced the world together.
This is normal AND this is what makes us happy. Happiness, of course, is emotion, and emotion is chemical, and chemical is due to evolution. We evolved in small communities, and we were happy. Another way to say that is that animals that enjoy the company of their species are successful because of the mutual advantage of living together. Those human offshoots that might have enjoyed solitude more than community, so much so that they went off to live alone, well, they did not survive.
That was normal. That still is normal. We are physiologically the same as our ancestors, and what made them happy, it also makes us happy.
Contrast this to life our families evolved as part of for millions of years, to what we now experience as commonplace.
* Spending much of our time indoors. Not just indoors, but isolated from the moving air, the sun, the plants, the odors.
* Sitting down, and staying quiet, for not just minutes, but tens of minutes, for hours.
* Interacting with people who we have not known since birth. Not just one or two, but dozens, or hundreds. Being together with dozens or hundreds of strangers for hours and hours and hours upon hours.
* Eating off a plate, in a building, food unidentifiable from its plant or animal origin, mixed together, mashed, fried, pulverized, colored, flavored, sterilized, chemicalized...
* Sitting still and staring at a flat screen, perhaps wiggling our fingers a bit, tapping or twisting, sitting, sitting, sitting, staring, staring, staring...
As a parent of two young children, I think of how their life, especially at school, is anything but normal. They are stuck, in a single room, for most of the day, with a number of other children, of almost exactly the same age, who are very, very restricted in what they are allowed to do, and have a very regimented plan for the day, day after day, and if they do not conform, are given some artificial consequence designed to make them conform.
Yes, this is commonplace, but that does not make it normal.
Some do seem to enjoy this. As a student myself, I did seem to enjoy school, but what I enjoyed about school were tiny bits of school, the bits that were in common with what my ancestors might have enjoyed.
I enjoyed being with my friends, who I would talk and joke with, and who I'd been with for years. (I came from a very small school.) I enjoyed doing something well, for myself. Figuring something out. Seeing my friends. Being listened to by them. Hearing interesting stories. Trying new things, experiments. Thinking interesting thoughts.
And all of this despite the building, and the civilization, not because of it. Notice, I did not mention how much I enjoyed sitting all day, or looking at a blackboard, or reading stale textbooks, etc. I enjoyed the things that anyone would enjoy, despite the not-normal, but commonplace, context.
As the most studious in my class, the things to be enjoyed, I was able to find enough of them to make going to school okay, and sometimes enjoyable on the whole, and I certainly did mostly what I was expected to do in school. For my classmates, some of them at least, their enjoyment level was possibly less, and I suspect in some cases, much less. And, for other students, going to other schools, especially large schools where one knew only a few, if any, other people in the classroom, the enjoyment, I imagine, might be much less, and in fact the opposite, but downright depressing, stressful, tedious, etc.
School, the way it is done here and now, is not normal even if it is commonplace.
How did people evolve to learn? By experiencing things first hand, of course, in youth, surrounded by other youth, and parents, and all experiencing things together. Through exploration of the world. Through going out with the olders and seeing what they were doing, and trying if for oneself. Interacting with others, of all ages, and learning from them. Spending, and enjoying, lots of time together, and lots of time of just play, and joking around, and chasing, and being rambunctious.
For students, now-a-days, school can be difficult. Bullying. Lessons that are boring, or too hard, or irrelevant. Classrooms that are visually sterile. Days which are repetitive, and run on a clock. Movement which is restricted and monitored. Being stuck together, all day, with strangers. Teenagers, moving every hour to a new and equally sterile room, with new sterile seats, and new strangers. Trying to understand about oneself, and life, in this "environment" is difficult at best.
For students, now-a-days, home can be difficult. Bullying. Chores that are boring, or too hard, or irrelevant. Rooms that are devoid of life or nature. Days which seem the same, and run by a clock, often one that seems broken. Movement which is restricted and monitored. Being stuck together, with a very small, a very very small number of people, who are isolated from those in the neighboring houses, and in fact, might never even interact with the neighbors. Teenagers whose only connection to one another might be through a screen, in tiny squiggles and wiggles, or flat images of unnatural places. Trying to understand about oneself, and life, in THIS "environment" is also difficult, at best.
Normal vs. Commonplace
Why can't you be normal?
Because nothing around you is normal.
Your life is not normal.
The life of those around you is not normal.
The "environment" you find yourself in is not normal.
Just because it is common, does not make it normal; or natural; or desirable; or okay; or right; or acceptable.
Everyday, people struggle because they think they are not normal, that something is wrong, that they aren't enjoying what other people enjoy, or that they are sad, or depressed, or they struggle, but they don't understand why.
Living in this civilization is the opposite of normal. It is no surprise that it is a struggle, and difficult, and depressing, and frustrating, and painful.
And thinking about this civilization, and what it is doing to the world, to the living planet, and all the species, and communities, and life upon it; that can be frustrating, and confusing, and infuriating as well.
It is not surprising that people turn inward, or to the few things that they enjoy, or for which they find relief, when everything seems to be confused, and to make no sense, and to be unfair.
The thoughts of "why me" and "is this all there is" are not uncommon, in this civilization.
This civilization is not normal, and so our lives in it can not be normal.
When things get difficult, remember what normal is.
The way people lived and evolved for millions of years, that is normal.
Nothing in this civilization is normal.
Don't confuse normal with commonplace.
This is how I make sense of things I experience, because without that perspective and worldview, everything can be difficult and a mass of confusion.
We live lives that are not normal, in a civilization that is not normal.
How I Live Now
So, given that, what I do is, to try to get normal back into my life, as much as I can
I plan time with people I know, my friends, my family, my children.
I eat real food. Fruits, and veggies, and plants that I can identify as plants and parts of plants.
I get outside, and look at the sky, and the grass, and the trees, and the clouds, and everything that moves and stays still.
I enjoy the things that all animals enjoy, like playing, and running, and tumbling, and jumping (dancing), and watching others going about their lives.
I try to rest, sleep, and not worry about the craziness of my day, or of civilization, or any of the craziness at all.
I think about things, in my own way, and write about them, or create around them.
I learn about whatever I want to learn about, whenever I have a moment to learn about it.
I take everything in this civilization with a grain of salt, and compare it to what normal really is, and then realize that the reason why something isn't working is because there is probably no way to make it work.
I enjoy the things that I know I enjoy, I try to understand what about them I enjoy, and I seek more of that.
It may not be a commonplace life, and I may not think commonplace thoughts, or do all commonplace things, but it is as close to normal as I can get. :-)
Daniel Quinn shared his observations and insights through Ishmael, The Story of B, and My Ishmael. He noticed the struggle people were having, living as part of this civilization, and wrote these works about how things got to be this way. I was so appreciative and curious about his seemingly unique perspective, that I did something I'd never done; I set up a meeting with him, bought a plane ticket to Texas, and spent three days talking with him, on camera, about the content of his books and about these sorts of ideas and beliefs. I came away feeling supported, and refreshed, and confident. Later, I published a session of that conversation to YouTube, so that others could learn as well. While I would not expect all who read those books to experience them in the same way, I certainly recommend them to anyone who asks. :-)

Recognition for Spitzenkandidaten 2019 should be decided now!
February 8, 2015
By Dan Luca "To be honest, I was wrong about the Spitzenkandidaten process. It is an important first step to give the EU a face – and it gives the public a buy-in to EU politics", said a former UK cabinet minister at an event in Brussels. 2015 is the perfect time to start the discussion on the next round of Spitzenkandidaten campaigning.

I remember the dinner well. We were in a restaurant on I-Drive in Orlando. It was InfoComm in June. My dinner companion was my counterpart at our new parent company. The acquisition had been complete for perhaps a month, and it was our first time together.
I am pretty sure his job was to get a read on me for his boss, who was now my boss's boss. We hit it off as two veteran operations guys often do. Then he leaned in, "Let me give you an important piece of advice."
He continued, "Our CEO can be pretty intimidating. He likes to ask hard questions – or at least questions he hopes are difficult. He is more interested in how you handle the question than the actual answer. So, here's my tip:"
Of course, I am leaning in now too.
"When he asks a question, reply with two answers, two options, or two points of view. Never one. Always two."
I looked a little puzzled so he continued.
"The first answer is one he already knew and he has sticky follow-up questions for that one. The second response will be something he hadn't considered. It will throw him off. He won't have a follow-up question ready and will leave you alone until the next test."
"It's a test?" I asked.
"Yes, he wants to be sure you are not just accepting things as they are."
It was great advice and I did use it successfully on several occasions.
What's more important is that this story forms the basis of my theory on Single Level Objections, which is what this week's blog post is about.
I often talk about the role of Single Level Objections in Sales, but the technique plays well across all aspects of business interaction.Read the Blog

Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo have revealed how far along Jinger was into her pregnancy when they learned that they were having a baby girl. However, what the couple told TLC isn't consistent with what Jinger previously told Us Weekly. If the Duggars believe that lying to a celebrity magazine is a sin, Jinger might want to start praying for forgiveness.
Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo's gender announcement video was recently shared on the TLCme website. In the short pregnancy update, the couple shares a detail that they didn't divulge in their exclusive People interview about their gender reveal party. According to Jinger, she and Jeremy found out that they were going to have a daughter early on in her pregnancy.
"Jeremy and I first learned the gender of our little one when we had our 20 week ultrasound," said the Duggar daughter. "We were both so excited and so overwhelmed with joy."
Last month, Us Weekly asked Jinger Duggar if she and Jeremy Vuolo knew their baby's sex. The outlet noted that Jinger was 24 weeks along at the time, but the mom-to-be claimed that she still had no idea whether she was pregnant with a boy or a girl.
"No … I don't know the gender," the Counting On star said.
So why did Jinger Duggar lie to Us Weekly? It's possible that she didn't want her family to know that she and Jeremy Vuolo had already learned their baby's sex. Perhaps they wanted to keep it a secret from everyone until their recent gender reveal party, and they figured they could keep Jinger's numerous family members from constantly questioning them about it by simply feigning ignorance on the matter.
If Jinger Duggar was trying to fool her nosy siblings, it sounds like they got over it pretty quickly when she told them that she was having a baby girl. She's the first of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's daughters to give the former 19 Kids and Counting stars a granddaughter, breaking a streak of boys that began when Jill Duggar gave birth to her son Israel in 2015. She and Jessa both have two sons, and Joy-Anna Duggar gave birth to a baby boy earlier this year.
"It was amazing seeing everyone's reactions after we revealed the gender," Jinger said. "They were just super excited, and I think the comment we heard most was, 'There's finally another girl in this family.'"
Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo will likely share more details about their gender reveal when Counting On returns to TLC this summer.

MONTREAL, May 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Maya Gold & Silver Inc. ("Maya" or the "Corporation") (TSXV:MYA) is pleased to announce that it has begun a new diamond drilling program at its Boumâadine property. Its first drillhole has intersected a first zone at 224m polymetallic sulfide mineralization in the Center zone.
Maya completed its first diamond-drilling program at Boumâadine in April 2018 (14 holes, totaling 3158.2 meters). The core was logged and sampled with a half core sample being sent to an independent laboratory. GoldMinds Geoservices ("GoldMinds") conducted a site visit at the Boumâadine property in April 2018. The site visit included the QA/QC program encompassing quick descriptions of lithologies, alteration and structures. GoldMinds selected independent samples (1/4 core sample) from drillholes 17-02, 17-01 and 17-04 (total of 46 core samples, one-meter each including blank and standards) that have been sent to AGAT Laboratory Canada for assaying.
Based on the encouraging geological results from the first drilling program at Boumâadine, Maya immediately took the decision to start a new drilling campaign totaling 3000 meters to test exertion at depth. The first hole of this new drilling program, B-18-01 drilled at the centre zone has already intersected at depth 224m, massive pyrite within andesite affected by veins and veinlets with trace of sphalerite, galena and calcite/quartz cements.
The main objectives of this new drilling campaign are:
- Explore in depth the vertical extension of the zones with massive sulphide mineralization at the zone centre, south and Tizi;
- Validation of the subparallel mineralized trend of the zone centre and zone south;
- Validate in depth the mineralized structure at zone Imariren.
GoldMinds has planned a sampling program on both tailings and the samples have been sent to an independent laboratory for analysis. Maya wishes to recover the gold and silver present in the tailings. GoldMinds also took independent samples from the tailings (from the surface to 5 meter depth) and has sent these to SGS Lakefield for metallurgical tests.
About metallurgical testing
The additional testing in Canada at SGS Laboratory follow testing on tailing samples carried out by CHINALCO-CINF Engineering Co. in 2017. (Extract from their report) The tests involved 4 scenarios, one-stage roasting followed by cyanidation leaching, two-stage roasting followed by cyanidation leaching, Alkaline Pressure leaching and Cyanidation, oxygen pressure leaching and cyanidation leaching and direct cyanidation leaching of tailing. The conclusion of the CINF engineers is the two-stage roasting-cyanidation proved to be adequate in the 69.61% recovery of gold where sulfur can be recycled for acid making and cyanidation residue can be recycled for cement production. In their opinion, this process is beneficial in terms of economic benefit, environmental benefit and recycling. Higher recovery was obtained with the pressure leach at 87.27% with an expense effluent from acid leaching operation containing large amounts of sulfuric acid, iron sulfate and arsenic acid. This resulted in high cost for subsequent treatment with a large amount of waste residue to be produced and requiring storage.
Tests at SGS Lakefield are being done on fresh rock as well as tailings. Results will be disclosed once all required tests and analysis will be received and interpreted by M. Gilbert Rousseau eng. of GoldMInds.

In June of 2016 I began a new chapter in my life when we discovered I had a very advanced and aggressive cancer that filled the entire inside of my bladder. I was blessed with healing by ingesting massive amounts of concentrated organic nutrition, multiple surgeries, multiple natural ingredients and lots of answered prayers. Now a strong advocate of natural healing, I offer my love and advice to those who are open minded and willing to take control of their own health. I'm more than willing to share what I have learned - God Bless.

For too long, Janel's battled the wizard alone – even betraying her ideals to bring him down. However, Var owns one of the world's most powerful artefacts: the Name of All Things. It bestows knowledge, which Var uses to gain what he wants most. This is now Kihrin D'Mon – and the world may not survive the consequences.

Area of Practice
Trucking Accident
Truck Accident Victims Need the Assistance of a Dedicated Attorney
There are several main roadways used to transport goods across the state of Utah. Interstate 70 (I-70), Interstate 80 (I-80) and Interstate 15 (I-15) are among the most popular highways frequently traveled by semi-truck drivers and other commercial truck drivers. The volume of cars, trucks, and motorcycles on these roads can lead to excessive traffic and hazardous driving conditions, causing unfortunate accidents involving trucks. Due to the sheer size and weight of most trucks, truck accidents often result in serious, life-changing injuries and even wrongful death.
If you or a loved one were injured in an accident, a truck accident lawyer at Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton can help. Serving clients throughout the state of Utah, we strive to help victims obtain compensation for their injuries and fight to secure payments for future medical bills and loss of quality of life. We encourage you to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation at our office by calling us at (801) 341-8424 or contacting us online to determine whether we are the best firm to represent your case.
Understanding Trucking Laws
Due to trucks' massive size and the extensive damage that they can cause, commercial trucks and their drivers are held to much stricter driving standards than traditional motorists. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, and the state of Utah implement strict regulations for these large vehicles and their drivers. Stipulations include drug and alcohol testing, pre-employment testing, and maximum driving times, among other laws.
We offer contingency based services and will not assess any fees until we collect compensation for your case.
Our lawyers are extremely familiar with these regulations and can help you dissect the law to protect your own rights. Similar to motor vehicle drivers, truck drivers are also expected to follow all traffic rules and take proper safety measures to prevent accidents.
Trucks may have trouble stopping quickly or experience accidents like rollovers, especially if the weight limit is breached.
Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are unfortunately far too common. According to the FMCSA, over 4,000 trucks and buses were involved in fatal car accidents in 2015 alone. At Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton, our attorneys have experience helping truck accident victims and their families obtain the compensation they are entitled to by determining the cause of a truck accident and whether negligence or recklessness was involved. There are many causes of truck accidents, including:
- Driver error
- Excessive speed
- Tailgating
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Improper truck loading and maintenance
- Driver inattention or fatigue
Our legal team knows where to look for evidence that reveals the underlying cause of the accident and establishes liability with the appropriate party. We are experienced in areas related to trucking accidents such as:
- Car vs. truck accidents
- Commercial vehicle accidents
- Truck driver error and fatigue
- Trucking maintenance
At Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton, we can work with accident reconstruction experts and others in the field to compile evidence that supports your claim and helps you pursue the maximum compensation you are entitled to.
Liability for Trucking Accidents
The nature of trucking and the multiple parties involved in commercial trucking accidents make it difficult to determine who is liable for the accident. In these accidents, the liability could fall on:
- The trucking company
- The truck driver
- The owner of the truck
- The insurance company
In many cases, the trucking company may be at fault for the actions of the driver. Trucking companies are legally responsible for hiring, training, and employing their drivers under strict standards. To receive certification, truck drivers must also undergo special training and maintain their vehicles in good condition. Liability may be divided among these parties and we can help you hold each responsible one accountable.
Injuries Which Can Occur
Truck accidents are incredibly dangerous and can lead to devastating, life-changing injuries for all drivers involved. These can include, but are not limited to:
- Loss of limb
- Catastrophic injury
- Brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Paralysis
- Hearing and vision loss
- Wrongful death
These injuries can affect your ability to work and participate in the everyday activities you once found joy in.
Calculating Compensation
In addition to awards for the physical losses sustained in trucking accidents, we can help you secure compensation future medical costs and wages that will be lost as a result of your injuries. If you are the primary earner in your family, the injuries can permanently affect the financial stability of your loved ones. In some cases, catastrophic injuries require life-long rehabilitation or in-home care, and we can help you prove the extent of your injuries to secure the maximum compensation possible.
If the party at fault acted particularly recklessly, such as driving under the influence (DUI), we can also attempt to pursue punitive damages. These are meant to punish the responsible party for their reckless actions in addition to the monetary losses they caused.

Hello from Panajachel, Guatemala!
Travels went very well this year and we just finished our first bigger day of work on Elvira's house. She was there, and several of her children. It was great to work beside them.
There was a little time to play soccer in the alleyway with a little boy, maybe three years old. He smiled as he kicked the ball, passed Doug Lewallen and yelled, "Goooooool!" We laughed! He then kicked the ball to John Hoestje a few times too, even into the wheelbarrow full of wet sand John was pushing. Soccer takes all forms!
Our work at Elvira's was focused. We moved a lot of concrete block and sand and cut re-bar. Hanna Hurt cut out a tall "limon" tree, which was impressive. Erin and Wayne talked as they cut strips of metal bar for the rebar work. Jane continues to be a blessing in communicating to the people we meet. It will make her and us smile when people will speak to her in Spanish and then one another in a Mayan language. We always wonder what they're saying! John Peimann continues to share the story, and his deep heart for the Guatemalan people with us in a way that's contagious and really focuses our attention.
It was a blessing to reconnect with Joe and Cindy Betsill, the organizers of our work here. We lean into the relationships they have and intend to connect people to one another and to Jesus through their connectivity and deep heart for people.
It continues to be a blessing to serve here, to be representatives of you, Trinity, and of Jesus. It's a privilege to reflect Jesus' love wherever we are sent.
Grace and peace to you all,
Pastor Ben

For aerospace engineering seniors, everything builds up to flight day. For their capstone projects, student teams spent hundreds of hours designing, redesigning and constructing a rocket and an airplane that is capable of carrying the rocket as many laps as possible inside the Carrier Dome.
Lea Miller says "Your imagination says you can do one thing, the math says you can do another thing and then manufacturing and putting it all together says something completely different," said Lea Miller '18 with a laugh.
On flight day, most teams were still making adjustments right up until it was their turn to take off.
"Definitely wanted to double, triple, quadruple check everything," said Michael Banks '18.
For Miller, Banks and Ryan Oddo '18, the moment of truth came when their plane went into the air.
"When I saw it go level and start to take off, I felt a lot better. It's just such a satisfying feeling seeing probably 100 plus hours come together and actually fly," said Oddo.
There are no guarantees on Flight Day.
"Very nervous. You don't know if it's going to work or not," said Ann Marie Karis '18. "You miss one thing and it's done."
Karis and teammate James Grace '18 watched their plane crash into the Carrier Dome turf on their first attempt but they had an opportunity to make adjustments and try again.
The plane designed and built by Luke Babich '18, Noah Cousineau '18 and Kevin Ryan '18 ran into trouble while it was still on the ground.
"As we were about to fly our control horn – which makes the plane turn – was completely disconnected," said Babich.
A few on-field repairs and they were ready for their chance at takeoff. All three watched with broad smiles as their plane circled the dome and came in for a landing.
"To see something perform that you built by yourself, it's a pretty rewarding design challenge," said Cousineau.
"It's a culmination of everything, all the hard work we've done for the past four years, the hard work, the sweat the tears, the blood, everything," said Ryan.
Karis and Grace also made some repairs and then put all of their aerospace engineering skills on the line with a second launch. The audience cheered as their plane successfully flew the length of the dome football field.
"It is gratifying to know it can fly," said Karis.
