Future Forum Announces Expanded Leadership Team
WASHINGTON, DC – Future Forum has announced its expanded leadership team for the 115th Congress. The group elected Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15) to serve his second term as Chair and elected Reps. Stephanie Murphy (FL-07), Seth Moulton (MA-06), and Ruben Gallego (AZ-07) to serve as Vice-Chairs. In April 2015, Swalwell founded Future Forum to bring together young House Democrats to focus attention on issues and opportunities important to the millennial generation.
"Future Forum has achieved a lot over the past two years, and I'd like to thank my Future Forum colleagues for allowing me to continue leading our effort to address the many issues that affect young people across our nation," said Swalwell. "It is my mission in Congress to fight for the right of every young American to have the freedom to dream, regardless of where or how they grew up. Future Forum has the unique opportunity to bring young people to the table to work collaboratively and create a greater, more equal future for us all."
"Young Americans expect more from their leaders and are concerned about opportunities that are disappearing for them and future generations," said Murphy, New Member Vice-Chair. "I represent a district in central Florida that has more young people than anywhere else in Florida - and it's rapidly growing - so I look forward to joining the Future Forum leadership team as we work to engage younger Americans on issues important to them. Listening will be key, and Future Forum will serve as an effective conduit between Millennials and the U.S. Congress."
"As Democrats, one of our most important priorities should be listening to hardworking Americans and, in particular, the next generation of leaders," said Moulton, Policy Vice-Chair. "That's what we've done with Future Forum and over the past two years, we have traveled across the country to hear from millennials about the issues that impact them most, from student loan debt to climate change. I've been proud to be a part of this initiative led by Congressman Swalwell, and am honored to take on this new role."
"Now more than ever, the voices of America's young people deserve to be heard here on Capitol Hill," said Gallego, Communications Vice-Chair. "Future Forum plays a critical role in advocating for policies like college affordability that will help to ensure that the American Dream remains within reach for future generations of Americans. I'm extremely proud to be a member of this groundbreaking organization and I look forward to continuing to fight for greater opportunities for our young people in the 115th Congress."
Future Forum is leading a national listening tour to engage with millennials where they are: on college campuses, at start-ups, and at established companies. Since its inception, Future Forum has visited 32 cities and met with thousands of young people. Members of the group have introduced legislation to address college affordability, student loan debt, and millennial entrepreneurship, often inspired by ideas generated through listening sessions.

Longevity is an achievement of modern society and the exponential evolution of science, technology, and health care. In recent decades, average life expectancy has grown by three months each year—steadily increasing the number as well as the age of older people. With the typical occurrence of chronic diseases increasing in the fifth decade of life, the multimorbid and oldest of the old are becoming the major demographic for pharmaceutical drug products. The rising age of patients is driving the development of new patient populations characterized by complex clinical manifestation and impaired daily functioning. Continue reading

I plan to make this a regular column; revisiting older works in a present context as best I can. Hope you enjoy.
Director: Joel Schumacher.
Starring: Colin Farrell, Forrest Whitaker, Radha Mitchell, Kiefer Sutherland (who is a pirate, and that would explain everything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCiageqMHJc), Katie Holmes.
I recall quite enjoying Phone Booth in theatres. It was the kind of audacious, high-concept thriller that could easily attract a general popcorn crowd, but also manage to cram in a few ideas about human connection and such and such (more "and such and such" than anything else). At best, it was the most entertaining useless yuppie redemption film of the early 2000s, far surpassing screenwriter Larry Cohen's Cellular - a film equally obsessed with antiquated technology.
Upon revisiting it, could there have possibly been a worse director than Batman & Robin's Joel Schumacher for a film meant to be set entirely on a city block?
So, instead, the movie opens in space, zooming into New York to focus on a barrage of cell phone users. According to Wikipedia and IMDB (granted, not the most reliable sources), Cohen apparently pitched the idea of a man stuck in a phone booth for an entire film to Alfred Hitchcock in the 60's. Though Hitchcock liked the idea, neither party could think of a reason for a man to stay in a booth for a feature-length film. I somewhat doubt the veracity of the story, given that rifle assassins in book depositories and motels were rather prevalent at the time. According to Cohen, the idea of a sniper only occured to him in the late nineties. The film was then delayed release after filming due to the D.C. sniper attacks.
Cell phones were largely ubiquitous by 2002, so Cohen goes a long way to justify the use of a phone booth. This leads to an obnoxious, Twilight Zone-style narration full of statistical data on the uprise of cell phone use and the upcoming destruction of one of the last phone booths left in Times Square - the one, of course, our lead Colin Farrell is destined to use. Farrell, an egocentric PR man, spends the first fifteen minutes of the film wheeling and dealing with some of the most ham-fisted movie-celebrities ever on screen. Hollywood can be really good at parodying itself, particularly when actual L.A. royalty is willing to participate. But a 62-year-old screenwriter like Cohen, mostly known for his excellent, offbeat B-movies as opposed to mainstream genre schlock like this, gets you an Eminem-clone named Big Q offering up lines like, "Voodoo on you-do, motherfucker, from Big Q to Big Stu!"
So after Schumacher introduces us to, you know, space, Farrell lands in a phone booth. By 2002, again, even this requires justification. Farrell takes off his wedding ring to call his would-mistress (Katie Holmes) so his wife won't catch the call on his cell phone bill. After being rejected for drinks with Holmes, the phone rings, and the robotic but oddly threatening voice of Kiefer Sutherland takes over the movie. At least now, it's genuinely fun crap. The first act, consisting of Farrell doing his job, is nearly unbearable; using old screenwriter tricks to establish Farrell as fast as possible. Unpleasant though it may be, it works. But once Sutherland kicks in, at the very least it becomes fun.
But Joel Schumacher didn't think so. So terrified was he at the prospect of filming something claustrophobic, he constantly employs busy little inserts of police gearing up and other frantic action. Cohen's script is fast-paced and smart enough for a film like this. There's quite a lot going on outside the booth to keep the story moving - including Forrest Whitaker as the most needy hostage negotiator ever written. He mentions his divorce repeatedly, but not in the way a negotiator would - more like he needed the sniper victim to counsel him (bad fucking timing, right?).
Sutherland's voice, creepy as it is, also never establishes much of a motive. He mentions shooting a Wall Street investor who stole millions and refused to repent, as well as a German child pornographer. What's Farrell's crime? He almost cheats on his wife. Almost, maybe. For a sniper/serial killer, it just seems like a step far too down. German child pornographers and Bernie Madoff? I'm with you, Kiefer Sutherland. But aren't there worse people to prosecute who use pay phones? Drug dealers, at least, still used phone booths in the early 2000s. A guy who's only crime is being kind of a self-promoting dick?
But Sutherland sells it. His voice carries. But Farrell's doesn't.
As I said, the yuppie redemption story is just brutal, with self-confessional lines like, "My two-thousand dollar watch is a fake and so am I!"
It would have been wonderful to see what Hitchcock would have done, if that story is accurate. It's a feat he pulled off beautifully with Rope, a far better film and one that includes even more of a gimmick. I think Schumacher was afraid the gimmick wouldn't sell action figures.
I must close, though, on a full-fledged defense of Larry Cohen. I've been a little hard on him tonight, but he truly has written some of the most inventive B-movies available. I recommend Q: The Winged Serpent and God Told Me To.

Just read a "response" if you want to call it that, to a post written by "All Around Ana" on Waygook inquiring about Muslims teaching in EPIK, GEPIK, S.K. Some genius decided to call himself the Voice of Reason and managed to offend not only ALL MUSLIMS but offend any logical and non-biased person walking on Earth.
Now, I'm not Muslim, and really I don't have to be to know its as*holes like him who create even more division, prejudice, hate, and everything else in the world which has stymied humans since the beginning from getting along with humans of another "known origin or belief system" to promote the greater good of what we all can be.
I digress…
Thought I'd share his piece of work with my readers just because… Click the link to check out the discussion moving forward. I'm sure it'll be a good one.
Post from "FAIL"
Why is it that your primary concern is how you can get a job and how you will be received, because of your religious association, than actually in thinking about the quality of teaching that you can bring to Korean students, or what you can offer a potential employer? Why is it that muslims always think of themselves and not of the culture which is hosting them?
Perhaps you would feel more comfortable teaching in Malaysia or the middle east.
Anyway, I hope whatever path you choose finds you success.

Seminar by George Wang
- Topic: On Market States and the Value of the Actively Managed Mutual Fund Industry
- Speaker: George Wang, PhD Candidate, Department of Finance, University of Melbourne
- Venue:E4A 623
- When: 15th March, 2013, (Fri)
- Time: 11.30am-12.30pm (Morning Tea from 11am)
This paper presents a novel approach to quantify the economic value of mutual funds' conditional performance in bear market states. In particularly, this approach jointly evaluates fund managers' market timing and selectivity skills across market states. After accounting for the value of managers' insurance-like conditional performance in bear states, this study finds that the extra benefit arising from active mutual fund management in bad times offsets its cost at the aggregate level. Further, in terms of overall utility, no evidence is found that mutual fund investors, as a group, are suffering significant losses relative to the CAPM, Fama-French-three-factor, or Carhart-four-factor benchmarks.

A fanbase name for the girls who LOVE the actor/singer Liz Gillies. They differ from her other fanbase "Gillians" in that they support not only her career, but her bangin body as well. You can tell a Gillian and a Lizbian apart by noticing that Lizbians talk about Liz Gillies' boobs more than or as much as they talk about her music while Gillians will only talk about her career. Gillians are boring. Lizbians are the fun, honest ones.
"I heard that Jessica is a Gillian."
"She's a Lizbian. Get your facts straight."
"Yeah. She wants to make out with Liz Gillies' face."

Washington: Donald Trump indicated in a new interview that he's ready to drag ex-president Bill Clinton's sex scandals into the White House campaign, after Democrats lashed out at the billionaire's Twitter rant against a pro-Hillary ex-Miss Universe.
Trump told The New York Times that he believes talking about the sex scandals that stained the career of Hillary's husband Bill would turn female voters away from her.
"She's nasty, but I can be nastier than she ever can be," Trump told the Times in an interview posted late yesterday.
He added: "Hillary Clinton was married to the single greatest abuser of women in the history of politics," referring to Bill Clinton (president 1993-2001).
"Hillary was an enabler, and she attacked the women who Bill Clinton mistreated afterward. I think it's a serious problem for them, and it's something that I'm considering talking about more in the near future," he told the newspaper.
In an apparent effort to pre-empt the attacks, the Clinton campaign released audio of Bill Clinton talking about his marriage with Hillary.
"I think that she has literally spent a lifetime dealing with not only her joys and her blessings, but also heartbreaks and disappointment, and sometimes unfair treatment," a reflective Bill says.
Hillary Clinton, campaigning in Florida on Saturday, described Trump as "unhinged" after the Republican presidential candidate unleashed a volley of pre-dawn tweets early yesterday against former beauty queen Alicia Machado.
The Venezuela-born Machado claims the billionaire bullied her mercilessly after winning the Trump-owned Miss Universe beauty pageant in 1996.
"Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a US citizen so she could use her in the debate?" said Trump, in one of a series of virulent tweets.
According to the fact-checking website Snopes, Trump's sex tape allegation apparently refers to Machado's appearance on a reality TV show in which she is shown in bed, under covers, with another participant.
Machado also appeared in Playboy magazine. But a pornographic video circulated in recent years purporting to star the former Miss Universe was debunked as a fake.
Clinton, who mentioned Machado in the Monday debate, has blasted Trump's history of abusive remarks that included humiliating the ex-beauty queen over her weight gain and Latina origins, nicknaming her "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeping."

L. Jay Incorporated was started so that Hmong refugees could get jobs. L. Jay Inc. works partly for a bigger shoe factory called Weinbrenner. Weinbrenner sends designs of shoes to L. Jay and then the people who work there sew different parts of the shoe and then sew all the finished pieces together to make a shoe. One of L. Jay's biggest customers is Fleet Farm. Kao Lee is the son of the owner of the factory. He also works at a bank to help his family earn a living. Kou's parents always want to get things done well no matter how long it takes. On the other hand, Kou's generation wants to get things done as fast as possible...
L. Jay Inc., a shoe factory, was founded in 1989 by Jay Lee. Lee is Hmong and all of the twenty or so workers there are Hmong. The factory gives the Hmong jobs they usually wouldn't get because they aren't fluent in English. Mr. Lee created the company with some clan members, but now he owns the whole thing.
L. Jay is a subcontractor to Weinbrenner Shoes. Weinbrenner sends the material to L. Jay, [where it is assembled into shoes]. Each worker sews or glues a different part [of the shoe] together at a different machine. There are about twenty-five machines for different steps and some extras just in case one breaks down. It takes about five minutes to make the upper part of a shoe and about an hour from first step to finish.
–Izzy S.
Kou said that when his father passes away or gets really sick, he will be the next captain and take charge. He said that his parents aren't lazy, because they wake up at 5:00 in the morning and stay up until 10:00 p.m. They made this job so Hmong people could sew, because Hmong adults love to sew. One machine makes the shoelace holes. Kou's brother could make holes in a pair of shoes in five seconds—probably a world record. It looked easy, but in real life it's real hard. We imagined US doing the job like this: "Tick, tick, tick, Oh! My finger has a hole!"
Clans came together to form L. Jay Inc. in 1989. The factory used to sew clothes and make reindeer out of straws, but now it works for Weinbrenner making mostly outdoor shoes. L. Jay owns the factory. His son Kou Lee goes to the University of Minnesota and comes home on weekends to help. Kou has always been interested in business. He works full-time in a bank doing accounting and tax work. He's in the Master's program at the University. When his father dies, he will get the factory.
There are many differences between the [Hmong] generations. The older [generation] is willing to work from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The younger is only willing to work from 8:00 to 5:00, but has business knowledge and knows English. Also, since older people did sewing by hand in Laos, they had to get used to sewing machines. But after a few weeks they got the hang of it. If you're Hmong, and you don't know English, you could have a mighty hard time getting a job. Only half of the workers at the factory know English. But since all the workers are Hmong or Hmong American they can talk in Hmong! Each worker has a different machine for each step of making a shoe. There are twenty to twenty-five machines (including extras in case one breaks down.) It takes around an HOUR to make ONE shoe! That's how many steps there are! The workers get bonuses if they do their job well—more pay, Christmas gifts, picnics, stuff like that. There must be a lot of bonuses because the workers work so well and fast!
This stop showed more of the modern Hmong in America. It was a heart-stopping experience—it really shows how hard the Hmong work.

How did I survive?
Truth be told, it was easy. At least it was for me. I wanted to be independent - and I was broke. lol So, like the pioneers of old, I made due with what I had an upgraded as I could afford it.
The last post deals with having no septic system or city sewer. This one I'll tell you what I did (and later my family did) to live without running water, but still have sanitation and clean water available to us.
My first water came from getting friends to save their empty milk jugs. (This was back in the days before everyone drank bottled water. (was that REALLY only 24 years ago?)
I would fill the cleaned out milk jugs with water from the spigot at work or church and haul them home. Every Day! See, not only did I cook and drink the water, I was filling a FIVE HUNDRED GALLON water bed with the water. Yup. It was the only bed I had and I needed it filled - so... I filled jugs, and I filled jugs, and I filled jugs. I had about 10 jugs. I had 3 to bathe with, 1 to cook with, 1 to water the chickens, rabbits and dog with, and the other 5 I filled that bed with. Each day - 6 days a week. Perseverance works! At that rate, it took me about 100 days to get it full. Do you know that at 6 days a week it's 16.67 WEEKS! That's about 4 months of dragging home bottles of water. But...it worked. The bed was full (though it still wasn't WARM!)
I had short hair then. Up side - it doesn't take a lot of water to wash short hair. Down side - you have to wash it everyday because mine is curly and sticks up and won't lay down without wetting it.
I washed without running water for several years and I used a variety of different ways to do it.
First I bought a solar shower. That worked, but it used a lot of water. Water that I wanted in that BED! True, I could hang it in the sun, but since I moved onto the land in Feb and it was in NORTH Florida, the water wasn't getting very warm. So I would heat it - first in a pot over a fire, later on a Coleman stove.
I had to shower outside. Ok, I lived in a rural neighborhood. There were LOTS of trees on the land, but still...I did have a couple of neighbors 10 acres away. I used a small, partial enclosed green house aka "the pyramid". (Yes, the former owners built a pyramid greenhouse that had partially decayed siding on it. Why? Something about "energy fields".) However, I was never comfortable showering out there. It felt very vulnerable and even though I would wait until after the school bus came, I was always worried about one of the neighborhood kids spying. On to Plan B.
Note: If you don't have an enclosed bathroom you can use, make a "shower stall" outside. You can buy one at Wallyworld in the camping section or make your own - plans are on the web. You can get fancy and build one of stone or wood. Or you can use tarps or regular shower curtains (you want opaque ones - so they can't be seen through!)
Plan B was just using the water jugs. By then, I had the septic system installed and the electricity coming to the trailer. I had been on the land about 9 or 10 months and it was getting cold again. At least I wasn't showing outside any longer.
I would pour all the water out of the bottle into a pan and heat it on the stove the pour the warmed water back into the jug. It was kinda tricky getting the water warm enough, without scalding myself. And it took a while to heat the whole thing. Then I got married and went to Plan C.
My (now former) husband was from around here and here's what he taught me to do. This is what his family did - a lot of his life they (and the people around here in Appalachia) didn't have running water. They too, just made due with what they had.
Plan C: Take a 1 gal jug of water. Pour off about 1/4 -1/3 of it into a pan and heat it on the stove (over campfire or on your Coleman) almost to a boil. If you're washing your hair, do this with 2 gals of water instead of one.
When the water is hot, pour it back into the jug. BE CAREFUL it's boiling water(duh). Do NOT hold the bottle while you pour the water! (again, duh.) Put the cap(s) back on the bottle(s) and agitate to disperse the hot water.
If you have a large basin, you can stand in it. If you have a tub, put the basin in the tub and then stand in it. Otherwise, use a pan or pail of some sort to collect the water as you wet your hair. There's nothing in the world wrong with this water. You're just wetting your hair and it can be used to then rinse the soap out!
So, your hair is wet.
Use a little shampoo. Here's the point that I wish I had known about baking soda and vinegar as shampoo and rinse. It's SOOO much easier to rinse out the baking soda than it is shampoo! Even after a week and a half of being sick and not washing my hair, I washed it once, rinsed it with water and then used the vinegar and water on it and it was clean. Here, in the middle of the page is where I talk about using baking soda for shampoo and Apple cider vinegar for rinsing it.
Either way, wash your head.
When you're ready to rinse out the shampoo, use the water you wet your hair with to rinse it. If you're in the tub, just pour it over your head and let it wet your body. Then you need even less water with which to wash yourself.
If you want to, lather and rinse again. Pour the water slowly. It doesn't take a lot of water, just a steady drizzle to rinse your hair. Be careful to not over use the shampoo or conditioner. We have been trained by watching the tv ads to use WAY too much shampoo. The commercials shows people with enough lather to wash at least 4 people's hair! It sells THEIR products at a hefty price to YOU. (Just like toothpaste and laundry detergent! We do NOT need the amounts shown on tv.)
If you use conditioner, use it after your done washing. If it's a rinse-out conditioner, rinse it out. Again, you don't need to dump the whole gallon out at once. Just trickle it onto your hair.
Unless you have really long hair that you shampoo twice and use a rinse-0ut conditioner to boot, it should only take 1 gallon or less of water to wash your hair.
To wash your body:
If you're in the tub, your body is already wet from washing your hair. You can just go to step two.
Wet your body with a LITTLE bit of the water. If I've washed my hair, I collect and use the rinse water to wet me down. This gives me a little more water to use for a clean rinse. I'm only wanting to wet my skin to make it easier to wash. It also rinses off any loose dirt.
This sounds stupid, but in case someone's mama didn't teach them how to wash themselves here goes:
Wash and rinse your face first. You can use a slightly soapy wash cloth or just wet a washcloth and get it soapy. Set the wash cloth down where it won't get stuff wet (or get dirt in it) and use the soap from your hands to wash your face. Rinse your face! Don't leave soap on it, it will dry it out.
Next, use the wash cloth on your body Trust me, you'll get cleaner faster and the abrasion from the rag will help remove dead skin.
Rub the soapy cloth all over your body, going from cleanest to dirtiest. So wash neck, arms, chest, back, stomach, arm pits, legs, groin, buttock and then feet. (You don't want to chance transferring any type of fungus to your groin area by washing your feet first.)
Now starting at the top of your neck, slowly pour the water over your skin in the same order you washed yourself. If you don't need the whole 1 gallon of water, do not feel like you HAVE to use it. Save it for something else. However, do make sure you're rinsed off well, otherwise, you probably be itching from the soap drying your skin.
If you'd like, you can dedicate a lid or two from deceased water jugs for "shower heads" . Take the cap(s) and punch some holes in the lid to work like a shower. Try using a nail on a cap you don't want. I'm not sure if it will shatter the cap or not. You could also try heating a nail and pushing holes through the cap with that. When you're ready to use the "shower", turn the water bottle upside down and the water will come out. I think that after you've used part of the water, you'll get a lock. You'll probably need to loosen the cap or tip it right-side up to get air back into the bottle and get it flowing again.
To wash just your hands:
We were given an old 30 cup coffee/iced tea dispenser (sort of like this one). It had no lid and no electrical parts. We kept it on the kitchen counter behind or to one side of the sink and filled with water. When we need to wash our hands, we opened the spout, wet our hands and then closed the spout. We lathered our hands and used an elbow or forearm to flip the switch back open so we could rinse them off. Close the spout when done.
If you don't happen to have an old coffee urn, use this scout trick. Take a milk jug or bleach bottle, punch a pencil size hole near the very bottom of the jug – about 1" from the bottom edge. Use a piece of twig or a golf tee for a stopper in the hole. Tie a piece of rope through the handle to tie or hang it from a tree/post/whatever you have. Fill it up with water and suspend it over a basin. When you're ready to use it, loosen the top, remove the stick or tee, wet your hands and replug the hole. Lather hands, remove the stick/tee and rinse. Replace the stick/tee and retighten the cap. If you use a bar of soap tied in the leg of an old pair of panty hose or sock, you can tie the soap off through the handle of the water-filled bottle. It will keep it out of the dirt.
Life moved on. We had a daughter and someone had pity on us and gave us a 500 gallon agricultural water tank. It hooked up behind our little pickup truck. My husband would drive it to church, a friend's house or where ever fresh water was available. He'd fill up those trusty gallon milk jugs, then he'd fill up the tank and haul it home. Note: milk jugs will eventually leak. On the carpet. You go to pick it up one day and it just comes apart in your hands. And you have water. Everywhere. Did I mention on your carpet?
After he filled the big tank and drug it home, he would park it near the "water in" port on the trailer, we would put a sump-pump into it, and run the "out" hose from the pump to the "in" port for water for the trailer. We then feed the electrical cord through the window to the wall outlet. Plug it in when we wanted water, unplugged it when we wanted A/C.
Because we didn't know what chemicals had been used in this tank in its prior life, we didn't drink or cook with this water, but it worked for showering, laundry and cleaning. Only we had to turn off the a/c to do the laundry or it would trip the fuse breaker switch! Lol
For we filled up the empty milk jugs that our friends would give us with fresh water and carry those home to use for cooking, drinking and watering the animals.
When son was 9 months old, we took some of our money out of a 409 plan and had a well drilled. It was an 80' deep well, nicely into the Florida Aquafier and we had great water.
(And I would gladly trade the house I'm renting now for that land and trailer back – even if it had no water, septic, electric or phone and sat in the hot FL sun with no fan or a/c!)

5 Best 'Alice in Wonderland' Characters
Alice may be the main character in Wonderland, but the 5 best "Alice in Wonderland" characters, don't include Alice. The more interesting characters in Alice in Wonderland don't spend a lot of time on the screen or are only in a few pages of the books. Others were too awesome to be included in the more mainstream versions of Alice in Wonderland that we have all grown up with. Their ferocity is relegated to the pages of a few poems Carroll wrote as he continued Alice's adventures in Wonderland.
- The Jabberwock– A scary character from the sequel to "Alice in Wonderland," "Alice Through the Looking Glass and What She Found There," the Jabberwock was so scary that he was cut from all of the more mainstream versions of the "Alice in Wonderland" sagas. Can you imagine how much cooler Alice would have been if instead of making the Queen of Hearts cry, she swooped in on wicked wings and the razor sharp claws of a Jabberwock and takes over all of Wonderland! Sadly it's an ending that Carroll didn't contemplate or didn't have the balls to follow through on. The Jabberwock may be a little known "Alice in Wonderland" character, but he is still the most bad-ass.
- Caterpillar– Perhaps the most cynical and aloof character in the "Alice in Wonderland" universe. He sits on top of his giant magic mushroom smoking a hookah and teaches Alice how to change size by eating different bits of the mushrooms around her. He's fond of asking transcendental questions like "Who are you?", and is the character that fueled the rumors that Lewis Carroll was on drugs when he wrote the story. Even though it has long be proven that Carroll wasn't on anything when he wrote "Alice in Wonderland," it's still fun to think that he was.
- Cheshire Cat– The "Alice in Wonderland" character known for the ability to make himself disappear at will leaving nothing but his mischievous grin behind him. He is one of the few characters in the story who is actually kind to Alice and doesn't jerk her around too much with unanswerable questions and actually gives her tips on navigating the mean streets and forests of Wonderland. No matter how much help the Cheshire Cat seems to provide there is something about that gaping grin of his that makes you wonder if he really should be trusted.
The Mad Hatter– Perhaps the most memorable character in "Alice in Wonderland," he is the ring leader of the mad tea party that never ends. He is also one of the witnesses against Alice when she goes to trial at the end of the story. Best known for wearing his giant hat with the 10/6 price tag tucked into the side, his only purpose in the story is to provide a bit of snark to frustrate Alice. Despite not getting a lot of screen time he has somehow become one of the most memorable characters in "Alice in Wonderland." Years later he went onto become part of the Rogues Gallery of villains in "Batman the Animated Series" in the 90's–an excellent career move that makes up for his lack of screen time in "Alice in Wonderland."
- The Queen of Hearts– Being a big ball of unrepentant rage is what makes The Queen of Hearts a fun "Alice in Wonderland" character. She may talk a good game, but really, can you really be afraid of someone who is into croquet?

Daily News | Auto sales report looking grim?
We are getting ready for another enticingly exciting week of global binary options trading and everything that this endeavor will bring us throughout the days ahead. For you, this can only be a boon, as there is plenty to see and do on the market. This is why, this Monday, we chose to take a look at the British pound sterling. From Thursday to Friday, the GBP rose from $1.2484 to $1.2534. Although this is a positive development, business surveys in the week after formal Brexit talks started could reflect on the impact it is having on both the British economy and the European economy as a whole. Whether these surveys will show positive, negative or no change, remains to be seen. Let us now look at the US dollar. In the same period, the currency rose from €0.9324 to €0.9347. The main bit of data that you should definitely be looking at this Monday when it comes to the dollar is the auto sales release report. This sector of the stock market has had a difficult time in the current year. However, it seems that auto sales are peaking, with the prices getting set to drop. Be sure to watch for that report intently because it may have quite an impact. That's it for this time, but remember to follow us tomorrow as well for more interesting business news!

As a digital extension of Target's 2013 Back-to-School campaign, Target wanted to elevate "real" kids' personal style in a unique way. Fortunately, the epicenter of cute stylish kids is Instagram and they had recently launched their video feature.
For 5 days at the beginning of August we asked moms to participate in #KidsGotStyle. In return, we created 5-8 Instagram videos (aka Stylagrams) per day in real-time based on the most unique kids we could find. (This was, of course, before you could edit Instagram videos, so everything you see is 100% organic and un-edited. And we were the first brand to do it!)

Climate Change Negotiations: The Agency Of The African States
Kahurani, Elizabeth N
MetadataShow full item record
This study investigates the impact of international negotiations on climate change with a focus on the role of Africa. Every year the UNFCCC convenes parties for international negotiations on climate change where agreements and decisions made inform international policy frameworks and strategies to deal with climate change. The stakes are high for Africa as it is among those continents worst affected by climate change. The study looks at the impact of climate change on development, human rights and security in Africa; evaluates international and regional institutional legal frameworks for climate change negotiation; and assesses the agency of African states in international negotiations on climate change. In the context of the present study, agency refers to the capacity of an actor to influence the outcome of global negotiations on climate change and strategies employed to achieve that objective. The current study is eclectic basing its analysis on the liberalism and realism theories. Neo-liberal institutionalism provides a suitable platform for global actors to agree on norms, rules and decision-making procedures. Realists opine that states are not pre-disposed to negotiations and only do so when negotiations increase their relative power resources. This explains the contemporary North-South conflict in climate change negotiations. This study assumes that climate change greatly impacts on Africa"s economic growth, security and human rights; effective international and regional institutional legal frameworks on climate change provide strong basis for negotiations; and that the African agency contends with acute challenges in their role and influence in international negotiations on climate change. The present study adopts the research design of a survey. 12 African negotiators responded to questionnaires and 5 participated in interviews. Further interviews were conducted with 3 negotiators from other negotiating groups and 1 observer. On a scale of 5.0 where 1.0 represented very weak and 5.0 represented excellent, the Africa agency scored 2.12. Study findings show that the Africa agency has opportunities to leverage it"s potential to influence international negotiations on climate change but contends with acute challenges in its role, major being lack of a secretariat and high attrition of negotiators. The study recommends increased high-level commitment by African governments to the climate change negotiation process, more funding for African negotiators, formalization of the negotiation group; and robust strategies in preparation, during and after the annual negotiation meetings on climate change.

referring to (0:41)PHOENIX — New York Giants wide receiver Brandon Marshall addressed NFL owners, coaches and executives Monday morning, telling the group on behalf of players: "Our relationship could be so much better."
Marshall also weighed in on several other topics facing the league, including the Oakland Raiders' pending move to Las Vegas and his new teammate, Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr.On Las Vegas: "It's business, right?
"A lot of times when you think about Las Vegas, you just think about the strip, right?
They may not like me saying this, but Las Vegas is a beautiful place.
San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York tweeted that it was "easily the best speech I've heard at an NFL meeting."
as informed in And they thought it was important for a player to come up and give a player's perspective and talk about the relationship between owners and players.
And it's important for us to continue to do things like we did last year of giving the players more voice.
And it not only gave people outside of the game the opportunity to see who we really were but also people in the game.
And not only at the owners meetings, but any time we're talking football, we should have players at the table.
It gave the world and our fans in the NFL an opportunity to see that we are people and we're not just gladiators.

Brandon Marshall to NFL owners: Bridge the gap with players; talks Vegas and Odell
Easily the best speech I've heard at an @NFL meeting.
PHOENIX — Giants receiver Brandon Marshall was the only player invited to speak to NFL owners, coaches and team executives Monday at the annual league meeting.
And his message was to make sure "that the gap between the players and owners is bridged."Apparently, he was quite impressive, according to 49ers owner Jed York.
Next year he's not going to be perfect, and the year after that he's not going to be perfect.
"I just want to make sure the players are protected," Marshall said.

The New York Stock Exchange said yesterday that it's discussing the possible formation of a global equity market with nine other stock exchanges around the world.
The other exchanges include the Australian and Tokyo Stock Exchanges, as well as exchanges in Paris, Hong Kong and Sao Paolo.
The market capitalisation of the companies listed on these exchanges exceeds $20 trillion, of which NYSE-listed domestic companies represent roughly half.
The NYSE announcement comes on the heels of several recent moves by New York-based Nasdaq to expand overseas. Nasdaq Japan is set to open June 19, while seven Nasdaq stocks, including Intel and San Jose-based Cisco Systems, have already begun trading on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.
In fact, NYSE might be arriving too late to the global trading game, said Larry Tabb, an analyst at TowerGroup. "They're probably a year or two late," he added. "Nasdaq has already sewn up relationships with people in Europe" and Japan.
In fact, he added, Nasdaq's European deal with the Frankfurt and London exchanges is a major coup.
"They are the premier exchanges" in Europe, Tabb said. "And to the extent that (the NYSE is) locked out of that partnership, that's a significant issue for (the Big Board)."
However, Tabb and other analysts pointed out, the global trading system isn't yet set in stone.
"We don't know what form the markets will take," said Dana Stiffler, an analyst at Meridien Research. "Will they incorporate traditional Nasdaq or NYSE market types into the global platform, or will there be some combination, or will it be electronic?"

Back to Baja
Scientific integrity challenged: It is unfortunate that Jill Stewart, Michael Lacey and Susan Goldsmith ("Crying Whale" and "The New Economy," November 22) believed the revisionist and incorrect statements by former Mexican government officials, Mitsubishi and ESSA employees and scientists who were on the Mitsubishi payroll about efforts to preserve the world's last undeveloped gray whale lagoon.
Emily Young and I interviewed ESSA manager Juan Bremmer in 1994 for a U.S. Marine Mammal Commission technical report titled "Conservation and Development in the Gray Whale Lagoons of Baja California Sur, Mexico" and my book, Saving the Gray Whale. After the interview was over, we realized that neither Mitsubishi, ESSA nor the Mexican Mining Trust had any intention of providing accurate information on their plans to construct a 500,000-acre industrial salt plant next to a UNESCO World Heritage Site and within a Mexican federal protected area in which industrial development is prohibited.
The inability of ESSA officials to provide accurate information on the salt project was the principal reason the Mexican government twice rejected project environmental impact assessments. The environmental documents were the product of the shoddy science of researchers, such as Burney Le Boeuf, Paul Dayton and their Mexican colleagues, who embarked on a Mitsubishi-financed public relations tour to discredit environmentalists even before the second EIA was released to the public (it was such a badly prepared document that then-president Ernesto Zedillo killed the project instead of releasing it publicly).
Pro-salt project scientists, such as Le Boeuf and Dayton, failed to comprehend what any undergraduate student first learns in Conservation Biology 101 -- the most important element of biodiversity conservation is preserving ecosystem integrity. Protecting San Ignacio Lagoon from industrial development was the most effective long-term gray whale conservation strategy for the region. That is why gray whale research pioneers, including Carl Hubbs and Raymond Gilmore, worked directly with their colleagues in Mexico to establish San Ignacio Lagoon as a whale refuge in the 1970s. Hubbs and Gilmore did so precisely to halt any future development there.
The anti-salt project campaign carried out by NRDC, IFAW and Mexican organizations, such as the Group of 100, co-opted the symbolism of the gray whale as an animal superstar created by the Mexican government. The fact that the government and Mitsubishi feigned surprise that environmentalists would use the gray whale as a conservation symbol is astonishing. As part of its extensive gray whale PR campaign, the Ministry of Fisheries (Pesca) in Mexico even produced its own nationally televised commercials that displayed frolicking gray whales with a message that flashed, "In Mexico, we protect you -- Pesca." Both Mitsubishi and ESSA made the gray whale the star of their own pro-development campaign. The gray whale is even the corporate symbol of ESSA.
The assertion that environmental groups "wooed" local residents into the campaign to halt the salt project is incorrect. The first letters written to President Zedillo against the salt project were written in 1995 by local whale-watching guides and fishermen from San Ignacio Lagoon -- a year before NRDC and IFAW became involved in the anti-salt project campaign.
The residents of Punta Abreojos and members of Punta Abreojos CoastKeeper (CADERNABB del Pacifico Norte A.C.) did not need any encouragement from environmentalists in the U.S. or Mexico to defend their multimillion-dollar lobster and abalone fishery from ESSA development. The activists from Punta Abreojos who helped to stop the salt project were so energized by their victory that they have since embarked on a coordinated effort to assist their fellow fishermen throughout Baja California to halt illegal fishing and stop the trade in endangered sea turtles.
Hopefully, the next time New Times covers an environmental story, its reporters will spend more time on the ground getting the story right instead of believing the inane banter of bad scientists, corporate henchmen and ex-employees of authoritarian and anti-democratic governments.

Hitting the objective: I never expected to read any sort of objective journalism relating to an environmental issue in any media publication. However, your November 22 piece "Crying Whale," on the environmentalists' kibosh of Mitsubishi's proposed desalinization plant, was just that. I agree that the hidden agenda of the environmentalists is not protection of whales, but the halt of all development everywhere, which really may not be that bad of an agenda except that all of the environmentalist lobbying and PR work customarily addresses only symptoms (can you say "global warming"?) of the real problem, which is the "O" word -- overpopulation.
Until New Times or any other media or environmental group has the guts to be politically incorrect and broach this topic, they won't get any type of support from me. Unfortunately, the big corporations (cheap labor and more consumers), multiculturalists (unlimited immigration to relieve guilt from being successful First World white Americans), politicos (perceived expansion of voter base), religious groups (religious dogma and more members), government (more tax dollars) and the media (a combination of the above) all benefit from exploding population growth and thus avoid discussions about it like the plague. Can you say "doomed"?

Win some, lose some: Congratulations to your reporters for the truly excellent and exhaustively researched article exposing the strong-arm tactics of the Natural Resources Defense Council and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
Emotionally charged issues like this need the objective balance of accurate reporting more than ever. It's too bad the facts of the matter couldn't be brought to the public's attention at the appropriate time -- before the salt plant project was canceled.
By the way, you might ask Kristi Dempsey to reread the articles. It may point out to her the difference between what is important as opposed to merely sensational. Her hissy fit with Howard Seftel was pointless, stupid and way below the standards of your usually excellent reportage. Remember, you are the guys who uncovered the Baptist Foundation scandal. Keep up the good work.

Crying foul: In my review of "Crying Whales" and "The New Economy," I am astounded by the gross inaccuracies and misrepresentations that they present about the story behind the "Don't Buy It" campaign. As a staff member for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) who worked closely on this campaign, I find that the article reads like a fictional tale that portrays Mitsubishi -- one of the world's wealthiest companies -- as the sympathetic protagonist.
In truth, Mitsubishi and the Mexican government at the time sought to build a saltworks plant twice the size of Washington, D.C., within a UNESCO World Heritage site that has four levels of legal protection from development. In 1994, Mexican environmental groups banded together to form Grupo de los Cien (Group of 100) in order to oppose the development of the saltworks plant in Laguna San Ignacio. Their objectives were simple: Stop the plant from being developed and preserve the quality of life in the region. Unlike the authors' contention, the gray whales were never the sole issue.
With limited resources to battle the mammoth Mitsubishi, the coalition recruited IFAW and other international NGOs to join the campaign. IFAW's involvement made possible the development and incorporation of objective science and research into the debate, by documenting the fragile nature of the marine habitat threatened by the construction of the saltworks plant. Curiously, while your article maintains that science did not prevail, Mitsubishi never released an environmental impact assessment on which it spent $2 million. Why not?
Other key facts are grossly omitted. While the authors portray the environmental performance of the Mitsubishi plant in Guerrero Negro in Laguna Ojo de Liebre as a rationale for a similar plant in Laguna San Ignacio, they omit Guerrero Negro's documented record of 290 environmental violations. Similarly, the authors' contention that no sea turtles were harmed by this facility is contradicted by the Mexican attorney general's confirmation of the deaths of 94 protected and endangered black sea turtles from exposure to toxic brine.
Lastly, far from abandoning local communities that so courageously opposed this development, IFAW has worked intensely with Mexican environmental groups and the Mexican government to establish a $2 million development fund for the local communities. Given the close working relationship we maintained with the local communities to this day, we find this distortion particularly vexing.
We at IFAW are proud of the role we played in preserving the pristine habitat of Laguna San Ignacio.

Budget Blues
Privatize the system: Arizona's budget problem can be solved without damaging programs, rescinding employee raises, using financial gimmickry, closing loopholes, borrowing or raising taxes ("Fiscal Fissure," John Dougherty, November 29). Instead, legislators should mandate performance improvements used by large, successful private organizations.
The first action the Legislature should take is to mandate annual 6 percent to 7 percent overall cost/service-unit reductions in personnel and procurement. Industry has demonstrated that this is achievable through innovation, restructuring, ending/replacing ineffective programs, taking advantage of hiring freezes, and improved matching of staff to workload. Potential annual savings: up to $400 million.
The second action required is to take advantage of three major improvement opportunities within education.
Reduce administrative/overhead costs. Federal data reveal that the percentage of current Arizona education spending reaching the classroom is tied for second lowest in the nation. Raising it to the leader's (Maine) level would save about $400 million a year. Meanwhile, Edison Schools Inc. has cut administrative costs by 10 percent and plans another 10 percent reduction within two years. If Arizona emulated Edison, savings could be doubled.
Potential annual savings: up to $800 million, shared with local school districts.
Improve incentives for parents to use cheaper charter, private and home-schooling alternatives. Each performs at least as well as public schools yet receives limited or no state support. Providing more equitable state financial support for these alternatives would both improve parent involvement (a key component of pupil achievement) and reduce spending.
Potential annual savings: up to $500 million, again shared with local school districts.
Reduce college/university waste. According to one expert researcher: "On average, the economy generates only about half as many college-level jobs for the number of people we graduate, and only about half who begin college graduate. . . . So the actual four-year college success rate is one out of four . . . a pretty dismal return on the taxpayers' investment."
Potential annual savings: up to $200 million, shared with community-college districts.
The preceding total almost $2 billion a year, more than enough to solve the state's budget problem -- even after sharing the benefits with other political units.
Long, drawn-out studies and legions of consultants are not required to accomplish these improvements -- only leadership with a sense of urgency, high expectations, focus and regular follow-up.

Warlock, Stock and Barrel
Something Wicca this way comes: I was excited to see the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. However, when I read your review referring to the Harry Potter character as a warlock in training, I got a bit upset ("Spell Binding," Gregory Weinkauf, November 15). A "witch" is not the same as a "warlock." A male witch is also a witch. Witches will take offense to being called warlocks.
I was glad to see a film that portrays witches in a favorable manner. Wicca is an acknowledged belief, and I felt it important to bring this to your attention.

Angels in the field: In my estimation, Donna and Jerry Neill ("Welcome to Donnawood," John W. Allman, November 15) are angels who have given their hearts, minds, energy and enormous amount of personal time to make the communities of Phoenix safer to live in.
With their NAILEM marches, Donna and Jerry played an important part in helping my neighborhood get rid of a large, established drug and prostitution complex by getting the attention of our neighborhood and also letting the "bad guys" see and hear that the neighborhood wanted them out!
Everyone is not necessarily good at everything. As far as them not being good bookkeepers, I forgive them. I'm sure now they will be getting help with the paperwork. Angels who want to better our lives should be treasured -- we need more Donna and Jerry Neills in Phoenix!

The folks at the World Mobile Conference in Barcelona this weekend caught word of what's being claimed as the world's first transparent touchscreen phone. The LG GD-900 will have a clear slide-out keyboard with glow feature, but that's about the only info being released now about the phone's features at this point.
All we know is the LG GD-900 phone will come out in Q2 2009, but no word yet on its price tag. From the photos, it appears that not the entire phone (including screen) is transparent, but it is bound to draw attention as the world of touchscreen technology grows wildly in years to come. I wonder if Apple is at the drawing board for their version as we speak!

I changed choose-mirror to use country codes as the untranslated choices and to add Choices-en.UTF-8 and Indices-en.UTF-8 automatically generated from iso_3166.tab. The code is a little hairy because it needs to calculate the inverse of iso_3166.tab and apply that as a mapping to all the msgids in iso-codes .po files, but it works ...

Take a look at the yacht in the picture above. This is Oculus, a 250-feet vessel designed by E. Kevin Schöpfer, founder and owner of Schöpfer Yachts LLC. Designed to accommodate 12 guests in extraordinary comfort and style, Oculus is a long distance cruising yacht capable of speeds upwards of 25 knots. Let's take a look at some more pictures of the magnificent Oculus.
Oculus was the first "design launch" of Schöpfer Yachts LLC. It's exterior styling is representative of the jaw and eye socket bone structure of large oceanic fish and mammals. Featuring a dramatic reverse bow configuration, the yacht's armature balances an elegant expression of symmetry and structure.
In addition to the bow, Oculus also features a "low rider profile". This slightly lowered surface allows for new side recreational areas, alternate dockage access and light cruising openness. Lateral retractable side panels close this area when heavier wave action is indicated.
The interior features of Oculus focus on a 12 foot high ceiling in the main salon, a cylindrical double height dining room, central stair and elevator tube, and seemingly anatomical ceiling and floor lighting extensions giving definition to the seating areas.
The second level of Oculus is the dedicated Owner's suite. Living areas and bedchambers are divided by a series of four freestanding tubes, which house bath and storage necessities. In addition to the main common stair, the second Owner's stair connects to the third level aft private salon and deck / water feature.
The third level also contains the forward pilothouse and separate captain's quarters. The generous open decks with separate water features are located forward and aft for convenient guest use.

Julio Nikolov and Tracy Jones founded Circus Funtasia in January 2013. It is a brand new and exciting venture for them. They have both managed shows for 12 years and thought that it was time to create their own show to take on the road. They say that it is scariest thing that they have ever done but that now they are the happiest that they have ever been.
They would like to thank all the artistes and staff for making Circus Funtasia's first few years so special. Everybody has worked so hard, shown dedication and always maintained a positive attitude. This has all helped to create a show with incredible energy that has provided entertainment wherever it has been.

Mumino Haji was going about her khat selling business in Bar Aleen village on Friday May 30 when in a split of a second she suddenly turned from a free person to a prisoner after Al-Shabaab terrorists disguised as Somalia forces drew their guns and abducted 30 hostages including her.
The 30 civilian hostages were later rescued in a daring operation involving around 200 Interim Juba Administration forces (IJA) aided by AMISOM Kenya Defence Forces air surveillance capability.
The first rumors after the hostages were snatched away by Al-Shabaab indicated that they were driven towards the Al-Shabaab stronghold of Jilib, but in reality many of hostages were actually taken in a string of kidnapping sprees along the way as the militants kept on filling up the two minivans they had first abducted Mumina and two other women from Bar Aleen.
By the time the kidnappers drove 20 km away from Kismayu the number of hostages had swelled to 30 and by then they were plotting how to escape from the Juba forces dragnet which was hot in the heels in pursuit of hostages.
Thanks to the aerial surveillance capability of AMISOM Kenyan Defence Forces, the kidnaper's hideout was immediately spotted by the high flying Kenyan drone which relayed the message to the tactical information center in Kismayu which passed the message to the dozens of heavily armed Juba security forces trailing the kidnappers.
The kidnappers finally fled after the heavily armed Juba forces spotted them in the village of Jiirmalay 40 km from Kismayu leaving behind the 30 hostages who were immediately found unhurt and were secured by the advancing forces.
Immediately after they kidnapped the 30 hostages, they drove under duress towards the Al-Shabaab stronghold of Jilib using back routes but thanks to AMISOM KDF air surveillance detected their movement and shared the information shared with IJA forces that immediately surrounded the area forcing the terrorists to flee leaving behind the 30 civilians unhurt.
The 30 freed hostages were brought to Kismayu in a convoy of over 15 vehicles as many of their relatives and friends come out to welcome them amid ululation, jubilation and tears of joy.
The hostages, all of who were women and men khat vendors, kidnapped from various locations around Kismayu on the same day said while they were under captivity the terrorists kept threatening to slit their throat or cutting off their limbs accusing them of spying for the Somalia government and AMISOM.
"We were ambushed by Al-Shabaab militia in a place called Qandal. They were almost ten in number. They kidnaped us and confiscated our cellphones and drove us far taking us round and round all-day. We don't know where they took us. The soldiers later rescued us," Mohamed Ahmed, one of the hostages said.
Brigadier General Ismail Sahardid, the Chief of Staff for the Interim Juba Administration in Kismayu, which is a federal state within Somalia, thanked AMISOM and the local community for their support in tracking down the Al-Shabaab kidnappers and finally rescuing the hostages.
"Our forces were supported by AMISOM aerial surveillance. After tracking the kidnapers at long last with the help of the God we successfully rescued the civilian hostages who numbered 30. We burnt one vehicle of the Al-Shabaab kidnapers," the Brigadier General said, speaking in Kismayu after the forces safely rescued the hostages.
Al-Shabaab terrorist have resorted to such cowardly acts of kidnappings and extortion rackets in order to make quick dirty money to fund their callous activities since losing out most of their major economic hubs like Kismayu, Marka and other cities in Somalia that have since been liberated by joint AMISOM and Somalia forces.
Back in Kismayu, as the hostages finally reunited with their loved ones, women cuddled and shared tears of joy together while the men raised their clinched fists as a sign of victory for the rare rescue operation not so common in Somalia.
