in the vicinityVideoGov. Steve Bullock says he's focused on issues that the voters in their daily lives, not wish-list, Economics
Democratic presidential candidate Gov. Steve Bullock rejects the suggestion that he is too moderate for the 2020 field.
Montana Gov. Steve Bullock is suing billionaire environmental and progressive advocate Tom Steyer to try — a rival for the democratic presidential nomination — to buy his way "on the debate stage."
"We are kidding ourselves if we call for a 10-million-Dollar purchase of 130,000 donors a demonstration of the basic support," Bullock said in a Tuesday statement. "It is not in the service of the candidate, and the help of the voters who actually decide is not sure of this choice."
Steyer, a philanthropist, of his fortune as a hedge Fund manager, declared his candidacy a month ago. But he jumped into the race too late to qualify for the second round of the Democratic presidential primary debates, which took place at the end of last month.
On Tuesday, though, Steyer announced that he received campaign contributions of at least 130,000 individual donors. This is one of the Democratic National Committee ' s values of two qualifying threshold, to the stage at the third and fourth rounds of debates, which will take place in September and October.
Steyer campaign, said her candidate "met the donor requirement within a period of only five weeks into the race, the average of over 26,000 donors a week."
And she stressed that Steyer was only a survey from the reach of the other DNC-criteria to the coming debates, the reach of at least 2 percent in four qualifying national polls or polls in the early primary and caucus voting States.
No, the seats with Bullock, to reach the land via a steep road, the thresholds for qualifying for the upcoming debates.
Hours after Steyer announced he was closing the debate stage, Bullock took aim, said in a statement that "the DNC donor requirement was added that, with the right intentions, but there is no doubt that it has created a situation in which the billionaires can buy their way onto the debate stage, and campaigns are not forced to spend a hunt million on digital ads-dollar-donors — to speak directly to the voters."
Bullock, the Can announced his candidacy in mid -, the stage in the first debate at the end of June but the qualification for the second round at the end of July.
Steyer's campaign shot back.
Steyer campaign manager Heather Hargreaves highlighted that "less than half came from Tom's donations from the advertising. Write off the support of thousands of Democratic voters who do not respond to Tom's message is the way to beat trump in the year 2020, no matter what you think about the DNC criteria."
Since the Start of his election campaign, Steyer million of his own money spent to win a seat on the stage. He's done that through TV commercials on national cable networks such as CNN and MSNBC, and floods, the local radio station in Iowa and New Hampshire – the first two States to vote in the nomination calendar with ads. He also spent heavily on direct E-mail, fill the mailboxes of Democratic and independent voters.
He shell big dollars to have access to the millions of voters-built files, the of the two organizations he started, and capital — Need to charge and the base organization, group, NextGen America.
With 15 days to reach the threshold values, nine candidates have already secured a place on the stage for the third and fourth rounds. You are Biden former Vice-President, Joe; sen Bernie Sanders of Vermont; Sen. Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts; Sen. Kamala Harris of California; Sen. Cory Booker from New Jersey; Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota; South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg; former Rep. Beto O'rourke of Texas, and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.
In addition to Steyer, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii, and former housing and urban development Secretary Julian Castro, the fundraising threshold is reached.
If Gabbard and Castro — and possibly sen. Kirsten Gillibrand from New York-the cut, about half of the record field of two dozen candidates still outside the September-debate sit. Those contenders would still be a month further, to try to set the stage for the October showdown.

More Project Management Best Practice Tips
Use these six important tools to keep your project on budget:
Whether you are a project manager or a business analyst, these five open-ended questions posed to the project sponsor and other senior executives can get you vital information you need for project success in a short amount of time:
Agile is popular, but good project leaders know that there is not a "one size fits all" method. If you are going to use Agile, consider how it may need tailoring to meet project goals better.
For example: If a deadline is critical, the principle with a substantial negative impact is accepting change at any time. If you eliminate that principle, your product backlog might need to be the result of a more robust, upfront elicitation to avoid delays. You can still develop iteratively, involve the business owner, and deliver practical solutions at regular intervals.
If the process...
As Agile and iterative methods grow in popularity, it is easy for those with a solid project management background to work in a new environment. These 5 tips will help:
For over 10 years, stakeholders tried to make the Denver International Airport Automated Baggage Handling project work before giving up. The cost of continuing was around $120M, on top of an already over-budget project that was too complex to fix. Project leaders should know when to give up and cancel a project. Here are 5 circumstances that signal the necessity of cancellation:
As a leader, you will need to manage by influence and motivate the team without full authority. Here are five tips to effectively motivate your teams:
How do you motivate your teams? Share a tip!
Decades of Project Management research shows that lack of user involvement/ executive sponsorship and requirements management are consistently high on the top 10 causes of project failure list. Over time, there has been a modest uptick in project success rates, but still, large percentages of projects fail to meet their goals. Why? Here is a short candidate list to consider:
Ever work on a project where it seemed like there were constant issues? Here are some tips to both avoid getting into this state and effectively handling the issues if you do.
You have accrued far more than the required three years of experience, have taken some classes in project management, and just learned about the PMP® certification. This is the same roadmap I followed in 2001 and passed on the first attempt. It's inexpensive and you can "opt out" at any step to pursue more learning if necessary, before investing too much time.
Seeking a leadership career? Embarking on a career in Project Management and earning a PMP® is a good path PMs typically earn more than "experts" and PMPs typically earn more than non-PMPs. The skills you learn will benefit any future management positions. You can wait to become an "accidental" PM or be proactive and follow this high-level roadmap:

John is still silent about the rejected mosque because his son Councillor Andrew was in favour of it. John himself was at the recent Islamic Council do in the Rivercourt Hotel as an apologist for the Imam.
Andrew is a liberal, he is in much the same mould as those of his fellow Kilkenny councillors who lost their seats over the weekend. He does not have a strong commitment to the Irish Nation and it now seems as if his father, the legendary TD has gone along with Andrew on this.
This was not, of course, a local election issue in the same way as the mosque victory was, but it will be a serious general election issue. Right now people across Kilkenny are asking, who will get the Ballybought Street houses -that Andrew has visited. Who will get the controversial Walkin Street apartments, who will get the Brogue Maker houses and apartments – will they be Irish or Incomers?
Our leaders, like John and Andrew in the future, are going to have to make their minds up about whether the Nation matters or not, whether the children of the Nation be housed?
Right now it seems like John and Andrew are turning their backs on the national ideal and even risking a nationalist party , like The National Party or Identity Ireland, or even IREXIT, moving in here in the future.
This abysmal housing situation is destabilising the country and placing the future of the Irish nation at great risk. Such carry on caused the success of the Brexit referendum in England.
Instead of building houses our politicians have been more interested in building a mosque! That's where our county council has been over the past twenty months since I first exposed the plans for the mosque here on the Kilkenny Journal.
We need a mass housing building project here in Kilkenny for the 2,500 on the Council housing list – all the newly elected councillors have as serious responsibility to all those people. The late Jackie Dowling built the whole of Kennyswell in the late 1940's when there wasn't as much as a JCB in the country!
This is simply not good enough from John or Andrew and this is why Eugene is an elected councillor this fine May evening in Kilkenny. With a general election on the way, John would want to put the smile back on his face fast!

There are many versions of this comic book story and this trailer depicts the "wildly different" version we get from director Todd Phillips. More here.
"It really came from this idea: what if you just did a comic-book movie differently?" Phillips says in a new Los Angeles Times interview. "We all grew up on these character studies and they're few and far between nowadays. So it was like, 'Let's do a deep dive on one of these guys in a real way.' No one is going to fly in it. No buildings are going to collapse. It's just going to be on the ground, so to speak."

Research Daily
Today's Must Read
High Speed Internet Subscriber Gain Benefits Comcast (CMCSA)
ConocoPhillips (COP) Gains From Oil-Rich Eagle Ford Acreage
Passenger Revenues Buoy Delta (DAL) Amid Fuel Cost Woes
Wednesday, October 31, 2018
The Zacks Research Daily presents the best research output of our analyst team. Today's Research Daily features new research reports on 16 major stocks, including Comcast (CMCSA), ConocoPhillips (COP) and Delta Air Lines (DAL). These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.
You can see all of today's research reports here >>>
Buy-ranked Comcast's shares have outperformed the Zacks Cable Television industry year to date, losing -5.8% vs. -11.4% in the space. Comcast's third-quarter 2018 results benefited from solid growth in the number of residential high-speed Internet customers.
Advertising revenues also increased due to higher spending on political advertising. Moreover, strong adoption of Xfinity Home drove top-line growth. The Zacks analyst thinks the nationwide rollout of the DOCSIS 3.1 technology and the completion of the nationwide rollout of Comcast's wireless services under the Xfinity Mobile brand will continue to boost subscriber base. Partnerships with the likes of Charter, Netflix and Amazon Prime are other positives.
The Sky acquisition expands Comcast's international reach. Sky's content portfolio strength is a major growth driver. However, the company continues to lose voice and video subscribers due to cord-cutting and stiff competition. Additionally, high debt level is a headwind.
(You can read the full research report on Comcast here >>>).
Shares of Buy-ranked ConocoPhillips are up +33.5% over the past year, outperforming the Zacks U.S. Integrated Oil industry, which has gained +13.7% over the same period. In terms of production and proved reserves, ConocoPhillips is the largest oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) player in the world.
The company recently reported strong third-quarter 2018 results, courtesy of higher oil realizations and strong volumes from unconventional assets. The Zacks analyst thinks there are significant opportunities for the upstream energy player in the Eagle Ford where it owns about 3,400 undrilled locations. In fact, a strong focus on two other prospective resources like Delaware basin and Bakken shale is expected to help ConocoPhillips achieve its target of 22% CAGR of production through 2017 to 2020.
Importantly, through 2017, the firm had lowered its debt load by 30%, thereby enhancing its credit rating. Consequently, ConocoPhillips offers substantial upside potential from the current price levels and is a preferred E&P company to own now.
(You can read the full research report on ConocoPhillips here >>>).
Delta Air Lines' shares have lost -1.5% year to date, outperforming the Zacks Airline industry's -21.8% decline. The stock has also outperformed fellow airline heavyweight, American Airlines, which has declined -33.4% in the same time frame. Delta performed impressively in the third quarter of 2018, despite high fuel costs. Both earnings and revenues surpassed the respective estimates and improved year over year.
Strong demand for air travel aided results, causing passenger revenues to increase 8.2%. Anticipating travel demand to remain strong, Delta raised its view pertaining to revenue growth for 2018. The Zacks analyst is also impressed by the company's efforts to reward its shareholders.
Despite the robust third-quarter performance, the threat posed by rising fuel costs, which increased 32.1% in the third quarter, is a major concern. Also, its fuel bill rose 35% in the quarter. Fuel costs are anticipated to be between $2.47 and $2.52 per gallon in the final quarter of 2018. Expenses on the labor front might also limit bottom-line growth.

Demonetisation and flawed GST have derailed Indian economy: Manmohan Singh
The former Prime Minister expressed concern over the safety of women and Dalits in the country, and noted there was an atmosphere of fear all over.
Published: 07th September 2018 08:30 PM | Last Updated: 08th September 2018 08:50 AM | A+A A-
NEW DELHI: Former prime minister Manmohan Singh slammed the economic policies of the Narendra Modi -led NDA government, saying demonetisation and a flawed GST have derailed the Indian economy.
At the launch of former Union minister Kapil Sibal's book 'Shades of truth: A journey derailed' on Friday, Singh also targeted the Centre for the widespread farm crisis. Farmers were forced to come out and protest on the streets, he asserted.
"Nothing concrete has been done to bring back the promised billions of dollars allegedly held abroad as black money."
Singh also expressed concern over the safety of women and Dalits in the country, and noted there was an atmosphere of fear all over.
Former vice-president Hamid Ansari was also present at the book launch. Later, former Union minister P Chidambaram, CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury, LJD patron Sharad Yadav and TMC's Chandan Mitra took part in a panel discussion on the book.
READ HERE: It will be Modi vs India in 2019, say opposition leaders at Kapil Sibal's book launch
"I'm afraid that Modi has understood the power of democracy. That is why he is on a mission to destroy it. Attacks on institutions are part of an ideological background," Yechury said in his observation at the event.
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and NC patriarch Farooq Abdullah were also present on the occasion.
In a reference to the Congress leaders in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh promising cow protection, Sibal told the audience that there was nothing wrong in protecting cattle.
He recalled that the meeting with yoga guru Ramdev during the anti-graft protests in 2012 was a big mistake by the then UPA government.
"We were told it was a social movement," Sibal said. Earlier, Sharad Yadav had made observations on the issue.
The former Union minister said the purpose of his book was to present a data-based critique of the Narendra Modi government which had only made hollow promises to the people over the past four years.

It is our mission at Speech Innovations to provide exemplary speech and language therapy services, allowing our clients to reach their full communicative potential. We strive to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities; improving their quality of life and those who love them. We thoroughly evaluate each individual's strengths and weaknesses, address family concerns, and together, we develop an individualized plan of care that will incorporate the most suitable therapy approaches and techniques, allowing that individual to reach their highest communicative potential.
We educate families on the techniques utilized during therapy, provide ideas for carryover through daily activities, and work collectively with the individuals' teachers and/or other therapists to ensure optimal success. Therapy is provided through play-based, child-centered, and family-friendly approaches.
Articulation refers to the way we produce speech sounds. An articulation disorder refers to errors in our speech sounds by mispronouncing, substituting, omitting, or adding sounds. We use all of our articulators to produce speech sounds; lips, teeth, tongue, cheeks, vocal tract, jaw, soft palate, and uvula. It is in the way we utilize our articulators that affects our speech intelligibility.
Children who are unintelligible to others at age 3 or older, or are unable to correctly say sounds that the majority of their same-age peers have mastered, may have an articulation disorder. If they are unable to correctly say sounds that the majority of their same-age peers have mastered, then they may have an articulation disorder.
Please review our ' Speech Milestones' tab if you are uncertian of what sounds your child should be producing and contact us to set up a speech evaluation with our speech language pathologists.
Language disorders can be either receptive or expressive. A receptive language disorder refers to the difficulties understanding or processing language. An expressive language disorder refers to the difficulties in putting words together, having a limited vocabulary, or an inability to use language in a socially appropriate way.
Therapy techniques and approaches vary depending upon what area(s) of language are disordered or delayed; content, form, and use.
1.Content, or semantics, refers to the meaning of words and how they are used, vocabulary comprehension, and use.
2.Form, or grammar, refers to the structure of sounds and how they are combined to make words, and sequenced to form sentences.; word order, verb use, plurals, pronouns, etc. Form is further divided into phonology, morphology, and sytanx..
3. Use, or pragmatics refers to how individuals use language in different contexts; such as eye contact, turn taking, body language, maintaining topics, initiating conversation, and greetings.
Please review our ' Language Milestones' tab if you are unsure of what language skills your child should have acquired and contact us to set up a language evaluation with our speech language pathologists.
Oral motor development refers to the skills necessary for the use and function of the lips, tongue, cheeks, jaw and supporting facial muscles. The movement and coordination of these structures is very important in speech production, safe swallowing, and consuming various textures.
Oral motor therapy and exercises work to increase the physical movements and placement of the oral structures for proper speech and feeding. Activities may include sensory stimulation, visual prompts, and tactile reinforcement.
If you are uncertian of oral motor skills your child should have acquired, please contact us to set up a Oral Motor evaluation with our speech language pathologists.
Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is the use of different methods to enhance, support, and/or supplement speech and writing for those who are unable to effectively communicate their own wants and needs. The goal of AAC is to achieve the most effective communication possible for individuals, NOT to replace verbal language.
An AAC device may be aided or unaided. Aided refers to systems which require a piece of equipment to aid in communication; such as a piece of paper and pen, or as high-tech as a computerized program. Unaided refers to the uses of sign language, or gestures.
There are various types of AAC devices. Please contact us to have our speech language pathologists evaluate your child's need for the use of an AAC and recommend an appropriate system.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:20 A.M.) – The Islamic State (ISIS) launched a counter-attack against the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in east Deir Ezzor on Saturday.
ISIS began their counter-attack on Saturday by storming the Syrian Democratic Forces' positions at the Sijan Oil Field of eastern Deir Ezzor.
According to pro-opposition activists, the Islamic State terrorist managed to retake the the Sijan Oil Field from the Syrian Democratic Forces after a fierce battle near the eastern bank of the Euphrates River.
The Sijan Oil Field is strategically located near the Al-'Umar Oil Fields, which are also under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces.
This counter-attack by the Islamic State comes just 24 hours after the US-backed forces launched a big assault to capture the strategic town of Hajjin.
Hajjin has been under the control of the Islamic State since they first entered the Deir Ezzor Governorate in 2014.

Unleash the Power of Microsoft Dynamics CRM with E-Signatures
It's nearing the end of the quarter. You and your customer agree on terms. You send out a contract. You give your customer a friendly reminder call and send follow-up emails. The customer is finally ready to ink the contract. But, their scanner (or fax machine) is broken so they sit on the contract for a few more days until IT fixes it. There's really no reason why businesses should have to live with this scenario anymore. According to the Aberdeen Group, organizations that adopt e-signatures perform better year-over-year and outperform the competition. Yet, less than 1 in 5 sales deals are signed electronically. That means that most sales reps still fax, scan and mail out documents for signature. So, what's holding most organizations back? Sales professionals perform better when digital-enabling technologies like e-signatures are CRM-integrated. Think about it. A typical sales person lives and breathes in their company's CRM system. By adding e-signing capabilities to your CRM, you'll be able to quickly send out contracts, agreements and documents of all kinds for signature, and monitor the progress of the digital transaction in one place. e-SignLive + Dynamics CRM Customer expectations, combined with the accessibility of cloud-based e-signature add-ons for popular CRM applications like Microsoft Dynamics CRM, are removing final barriers to the adoption of a fully digital contracting process. Our integration with Dynamics CRM offers you the convenience of quickly adding best-of-breed e-signing capabilities directly to your CRM.

War On Terror News aka WOTN was started by one person, but is much bigger than that person or any other one person, even if this author continues to provide the primary voice of the publication. Each Contributor volunteers and donates their time, energy, efforts, and/or words to something important, something that otherwise does not get the attention it deserves.
A few important business aspects and standards we've implemented are that:
- Our format is duplicable, repeatable, and adaptable. (We teach new contributors how to do it, even if they may use that information on a "competing" site.)
- It does not rest on the personality of any one person. (If I were removed, the site would continue)
- We aren't in competition with similar sites. It's the mission to get the information out that's important. (If people find the other sites more to their liking, that's good too!)
- We have a high standard for what we advertise. If we have doubts about the company, no amount of money will change it.
- We report not only things we know to be true, but what we can prove with evidence to be true.
- There is no people on earth too barbaric that they cannot embrace a peaceful change of government
- Terrorism is the purposeful targeting of unarmed civilians and is never a legitimate use of force. We utterly condemn terrorism and the war criminals that use it.
I have personally spent years of my life in various combat zones fighting against an atrocious enemy. It is important that decent people around the world understand that this struggle is truly one of good versus evil. The enemy we are fighting is purposely targeting unarmed civilians, to include innocent children often for as little excuse as they received a smile from the generosity of Our Troops or were trying to learn to read.
My efforts were born out of an email while still in the war zone from a Viet Nam brother who warned me that the American People had turned against us and apologized that he and our Viet Nam era brothers had been unable to reverse it. At that time, while preparing for my return to civilization, I told him I was prepared, that I had steeled my mind with lessons of his generation and was ready for whatever the population delved out.
I was wrong. Initially, I was quiet about my travels, of my role in life, not out of shame, but to avoid "the hero card," and my awkward response to gratitude I'd seen in years past. But when I revealed it to those few civilians, I was shocked and surprised by the response. Citizens honestly asked of the "misguided horrors" and futility of the missions we were performing. Some recoiled in anticipation of some spontaneous outburst of violence.
I learned "the hero card" had turned into "the scary psycho" fear. I tuned out the MSM in disgust of the knowledge that they were purposely distorting the truth. I learned that an organization of Cowards and Liars were besmirching the Honor of all Veterans. The tiny minority called themselves the IVAW and had as their face Jesse MacBeth, a liar that claimed to have committed atrocities while a Ranger in Iraq. He had actually been thrown out of the Army before he could complete Basic Training. But he was not outed before doing considerable damage and the IVAW was complicit in creating his lies but quickly disavowed their role when the evidence was presented.
Though, I've always shared freely the truth with those trusted people in my small circle of close friends, and those curious civilians that pass by in the journey of life, I learned the misperceptions inspired by slanted stories of the MSM was too complete for such chance encounters with so few Veterans to allow to overcome. I had seen my Brothers and the Military work too honorably and too valorously to allow the perception to stand. I searched for a way to reach more people, to tell the rest of the story, to give Civilians and Troops what they deserved.
Every effort in life comes with a price and it is not only measured in dollars. While we do have a "donation" button, we do not ask our readers to donate money to us. We ask that if you have money to give, that you donate straight to the Non-Profits we support or to the one of your choice in the articles of the Support Our Troops-Actively category. (Categories are to the right. Blogroll, including 4 Non-Profits are to the left.) While we try to vet all non-profits we spotlight, please research them before you give.
There are hundreds of worthy Non-Profits that are doing exactly what their mission statement claims as financially efficiently as they can manage. There are Non-Profits that are doing good work for the wrong reasons. There are Non-Profits that are set up to scam Well-Meaning good people that wish to demonstrate their character. Neither inclusion nor exclusion from our lists should be considered indicative of which category an organization falls into. We do try to sort it out though.
As WOTN has become more known, we've received more contacts from Non-Profits that need some press. Some of these have been questionable, some seem rather seedy, but most have been legitimate organizations of pure motives. It is unfortunate and potentially frustrating for those worthy organizations to see a delay in reporting from us on their efforts. There is a search and research process we must undertake before we lend an article. It helps in the later writing.
We've not outed any of those parasites publicly as of this date. If the research reveals sufficient evidence, it is referred to law enforcement. If it provides unprovable doubts, it may result in an unnamed article of warning. If it results in a belief of impure motives, it is simply ignored. But again, we don't know every Non-Profit out there so neither inclusion nor exclusion means anything.
As to the list of explicitly supported Non-Profits (4 at present), we apologize to any that feels left out. There are so many to choose from but our efforts can only be divided to a certain degree. We chose four, from the requests of our original contributors, that we could feel most comfortable with. We have limited resources and even dividing by four diminishes the effect too greatly. As much as we wish we could help every worthy effort, we can only divide the effort so far before it becomes ineffective.
There is a cost to every effort, including financially, but our financial costs are low and advertising dollars pay them. Advertising income is too small to pay any individual for their efforts so all dollars earned go to one of those four, to some unknown point in the future, when a minimum of 10% will always go to them. I can't tell you at what point that will be, particularly because it is a distant realm dependent on conditions beyond the current realities.
Hence, the request that if anyone wishes to donate money, they do it to the Non-Profits directly. It saves the transaction costs and affords you a tax deduction that we can not give you. On the other hand, if you are looking for a product that one of our advertisers offers, it does support us and those non-profits we support if you buy it through our links.
We have no competitors. We have only colleagues that are doing similar work on other sites. We are happy to link to them but again, there is limited space. We'll reach out first or respond quickly to sites that link to us, so long as we know. That's common courtesy, but if they demonstrate no courtesy, if they are "too big, too self-involved, for their britches," they are the ones culled from the blogroll as new, smaller sites are found.
It's an objective policy and we'd rather never get a hit off a small site with courtesy than a big site with arrogance. We hope our readers check out all of our blogroll on a regular basis, more often even that we can get there. We apologize for any delay in a reciprocal link and ask that you remind us if we missed your gesture of kindness.
Over the last 10 days, we've been very active on Twitter (@WOTN) with the #IranElection aftermath. We were less than 100% on the #FollowFriday and #MilitaryMon efforts in the desire to stay on top of events that could effect the entire world, including having profound effects on the War On Terror. As of this writing, we still don't know how it will turn out, nor even if the initial success will have any long-lasting effects.
About 6 days into the coverage, a new "follower" or should I say group of followers noted our primary focus, our background, my "warmongering" history of being a Veteran Warrior, bent on displaying the rest of the story of the Honor of Our Troops. "How?" she asked and sent many of her peacenik gang to ask could I so vigorously support the efforts of Persians in the struggle for freedom while so actively supporting my Warrior Brothers in the violence against those misunderstood terrorists?
It is quite simple. I support freedom. I recognize the courage of Persians against the oppressive regime of a Tyrannical Dictatorship that has lied to them for 3 decades. I've looked into the eyes of the enemy and seen the evil in its very soul. I've looked into the eyes of brutal warlords, evil generals, and low level terrorists. I've seen the fear in the eyes of those that believe the propaganda and lies of such enemies. It is a fear not only that I'd eat their children as the enemy claims, but that the enemy would murder their families if they accepted my good will.
I know the courage of a people willing to risk life in the hope of liberty. I know that the eyes of the world, coupled with the numbers of their brave countrymen can overcome the armed atrocities of a small minority of violent animals to attain and maintain absolute power through fear, are the primary means of safety those brave Persians have. I know that the Persian People are like any other people, that they simply desire to survive the daily challenges of life, that they have been lied to, that they have been oppressed, and brutalized for 3 decades under the current regime alone.
If there were more I could do to help the Persian People in their brave struggle, I would. Their struggles and sacrifices are honorable and courageous. Success in this first stage does not guarantee their freedom. Failure does guarantee the continuation of an oppressive tyranny and export of terrorism. The actions of the Persian People without an ounce of external support, with the cheering of the citizenry of the world, but not a thing more, will effect the world. If they are successful, not only in ridding themselves of this dictator, but also of their tyranny, the world must be eternally grateful to those brave souls for defeating the leading force of terrorism in the world.
The costs of an effort may be upfront, may be periodical, or may be at the end. They may be fixed or just a risk to be charged at some date in the future. The price to be paid may be one that can be traded for submission of the effort when the bill arrives, but there will always be a price.
A Veteran is one that knows the risk of payment he may one day be charged, and accepts that risk of the ultimate sacrifice, because liberty and life are worth the price he may pay to defend it. But when the bill arrives, it's not the messenger to be blamed. Often the messenger too is paying a price for the effort. I've known the risks of the bills that may come from my efforts, both in and out of the Military. I like all Veterans have knowingly accepted those risks, including payments that might be less apparent.
The same is true of efforts associated with the efforts of War On Terror News. I've known the risks associated with the effort. I've appreciated the efforts of all that currently and previously make it possible. And as the bills come due, as the choice to continue or quit to avoid that bill is put forth, I am resolute that the effort is worth the cost. I understand with this, just as I did when my father asked "Haven't you done your part? Haven't you done your duty?" in regards to one more tour, that until success is achieved, that my role is not complete. I know that those that depend on my efforts still need my presence, even if they could do it without me.
MsMarti, MsHope, MsMilHealth, Kudzu, MarineTilDeath, PaleHorse,TimeTraveler, and MAJ C. One: I thank you for your tireless effort to make this publication a success, to bring the rest of the story to the American People. I stand resolute with you in Our Mission of Honor. Your dedication and sacrifices are not lost on me.
Fellow Milbloggers: Whether on our blogroll or absent, whether new or trailblazing giants, Thank You, for bringing your part of the story to the American People and the rest of the world. I wish you success and that all your risks be greatly rewarded. As we move forward, with units left and right, allies and colleagues, please remember Our Newest members, the youngest generation of "milbloggers" struggling to have their voice heard.
And to like-minded individuals, those that accept the values upon which this publication was founded, realize, we have a place for you, whether civilian, veteran, or currently serving, a platform that allows you a voice. The price to be paid is that of dedication, effort, and values. But we believe the price is worth the effort and that there is no such thing as having too many friends firing at the enemy.
I hope that we've given an idea of why I'm willing to pay the price of these efforts, that I've given sufficient gratitude and respect to those that came before me or will come after me, that I can give the Honor due Our Warriors risking all in the battle for freedom. I wish the price were lower, but I recognize it is not so high that liberty should be forfeited for a life in chains.
the faceless voice of an effort so much bigger than the individual behind its beginnings.

"Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you." Joshua 3:5
Twelve Shiloh students attended SLU 101 in Orlando, Florida from January 18 - January 21. This incredible opportunity takes students through a challenging series of leadership processes that equips them to have a "Renaissance Mind," "The Heart of a Patriot," "The Soul of a Saint," "The Discipline of a Champion," and the "Influence of a Leader." Student Leadership University's mission is to develop and equip student leaders to think, dream, and lead. This program strives to instill future tense thinking; character-driven decision making; ownership of biblical values; and a commitment to influence through service. This is the second year that Shiloh students have attended this valuable program in a large group, and both years proved to make a significant impact on the lives of the students who attended.
The participants heard from various speakers throughout the week including top Christian apologists, like Dr. Dan DeWitt, and they were challenged to develop their worldview. Junior, Bella Hudson, said that the sessions that challenged her most were the sessions on worldview. She said that learning about atheists strengthened her ability to defend her faith. She also enjoyed the afternoon outing to Universal Studios and the roller coasters.
Freshman, Wilson Jones, was impacted by a session entitled, "Swallow the Biggest Frog First." He said this session challenged him to avoid procrastination and do the hardest thing first. He said that since he's been back at school he has been using this method to prioritize his homework and that he has become more productive because of it. He also enjoyed traveling and getting to be a part of the exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences with the animals at SeaWorld.
Nathan Bodenstein and Amy Wessels were chaperones for the trip. Mr. Bodenstein shared that there were over 300 students in attendance and this trip is one of four leadership courses that students can take from 9th to 12th grade. He was personally challenged by the Christ-like servant leadership model that was taught throughout the week.
The leadership courses offered through this program include: SLU 101 in Orlando, SLU 201 in Washington D.C., SLU 301 in Paris & Normandy, and SLU 401 is in Israel & Jordan. The vision for the future of this program is take groups of Shiloh students to all of the leadership opportunities around the world each year. To be eligible to participate in this school sponsored trip, students must be involved in one of Shiloh's leadership programs such as SALT or Chick-Fil-A Leader's Academy.

Repeat volunteer Nate Most first heard of Inheritance of Hope at a small tractor dealership in his hometown of Brady, Nebraska. A rancher, Nate was simply doing business and was surprised when a stranger who had come in for oil approached him and told about how his own family had been blessed by an IoH Legacy Retreat®. The story resonated with Nate since his wife of 25 years, Amy, had been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Meet people who make inspiring hope possible!
I grew up in Brainerd, MN, at a small family resort where I learned to clean cabins at a very early age and got to play in the lake all summer. I come from a family of swimmers and was a competitive swimmer form 3rd grade through college at St. Olaf in Northfield, MN. I got a biology degree from St. Olaf and then changed directions and went to Luther Seminary in St. Paul for my master's degree in youth and family ministry. I worked in youth ministry for 5 years before spending the last 12 years as a stay-at-home mom to our 3 kids: Anna (12), Andrew (11), and Julia (9). My husband, Brian, and I recently celebrated our 15th anniversary. We live in Rochester, MN, where I spend much of my day driving my own little swimmers to the pool for practice.
How did you become involved with IoH?
5 Things You May Not Know About Our Assistant Events Director
1. Currently I live in Houghton, NY. My family has been here for three generations, and being back after spending most of high school and college here has been good. My grandfather is happy to have me back in town!
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If they stumble, the first will lift up his friend—but woe to anyone who is alone when he falls and there is no one to help him get up." Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
One of the goals of Inheritance of Hope (IoH) is to connect families. Families who are grieving a life-changing diagnosis, struggling with fears, and facing new realities draw strength from each other as they share experiences and burdens. Through IoH, new friendships are often formed that offer a depth of understanding many families can't find elsewhere.
The support that is shared is sometimes intangible and immeasurable, yet always tremendous. Sometimes, the support may be tangible yet also tremendously immeasurable, as was the case when Heather Crawford donated a wheelchair van to fellow IoH family Craig and Dana Loner.
Haylee Bunner turned in her Inheritance of Hope volunteer application as soon as she could--the very day she turned 18. She had been waiting for the chance to serve families like hers for quite some time. Haylee, her brother Cameron, and their parents Matthew and Kim attended an Orlando Legacy Retreat® in May 2012. Kim passed away a little over a year later.
"I knew that volunteering was something my mom would have done had she been healed." Haylee describes Kim as someone who loved to help other people. "To know that her death gave me the ability to understand much of what these families are going through would have given her peace."
|Strebe Family at their Legacy Retreat®
The Strebe family—Jon, Donna, Luke, Ryan, and Emma Kate—attended an Orlando Legacy Retreat® in February 2014, shortly after Jon underwent a bone marrow transplant and thoracic surgery. At the time, he was battling stage 3 testicular cancer metastases to the lungs. Donna remembers that the trip to Orlando came at a very emotional time.
"It had been a tough year, and the volunteers served from the bottom of their souls and blessed us. We said from that point forward we would serve as long as we were able."
Anyone who has attended a Legacy Retreat® knows that it's a logistical puzzle – a puzzle that's beautifully put together under the leadership of our Family Legacy Director Jill Thompson. Let's go "behind the scenes" to learn more about Jill.
Rachel Pearson dreams big: "Ten years, cover of Forbes… yeah, I can see that." Anyone who meets Rachel can too. But successful growth for her young business of organic skincare products is not her only goal. "I want to educate you and heal your skin. And I want to give back. That is the most important thing we can do."
|A Fabulous Home in New York's Hudson Valley
A house of worship.
A place of meeting.
A beautifully-decorated oasis.
A home for many.
A warm and comfortable retreat.
A nearness to God.
Over the past several months, I have had the privilege of writing about members of the Inheritance of Hope family. Cheryl Broyles, like each person I have presented, defies description. In June 2000, Cheryl was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumor and told she had less than a year to live. How could I adequately describe a woman who in the past 15 years has survived six brain surgeries, climbed mountains both literal and figurative, and raised two toddlers into young men?
I can't. Cheryl inspires hope in a tremendous way, and there are no words beautiful enough to paint the picture of what that looks like.

Overreaction to Islamist threats puts liberal democracies at risk
The handwriting is on many walls. Liberal democracy and the world order it has built since World War II are at risk. Equal rights, political pluralism and rule of law are being challenged from several directions.
We see it in Brexit, which aims explicitly to restore borders, reject immigrants and implicitly to end the liberal democratic establishment's monopoly on governing power. We see it in Donald Trump, who aims at similar goals. We see it in Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who are selling the idea that concentrated power and restrictions on freedom will deliver better and more goods and services.
We see it in China, which likewise aims to maintain the Communist Party's monopoly on national political power while allowing markets to drive growth. No need to mention Hungary's Viktor Orban, Macedonia's Nikola Gruevski, Poland's Beata Szydło and other democratically elected leaders who turn their backs on liberal democratic values once in power, in favour of religion, nationalism or ethnic identity.
Among the first victims are likely to be two bold efforts at freeing up trade and investment and promoting growth by removing barriers and encouraging globalisation: the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the European Union and the United States as well as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which was intended to do something similar in the Pacific basin.
Both Hillary Clinton and Trump have said they are opposed to TPP. It is hard to picture TTIP proceeding while the European Union is negotiating its divorce from Britain.
We have seen assaults on liberal democracy and its associated world order in the past. Arguably that is what World War II was about, at least in part. Nazi Germany, imperial Japan and Mussolini's Italy offered fascist, autocratic responses to relatively liberal democracy in Britain, France and the United States.
The Soviet Union, which fought with the Allies against fascism, offered a communist alternative that survived the war and engaged in the Cold War standoff with liberal democracies for almost 45 years thereafter, one that involved proxy wars, Communist and anti-Communist puppets and the enormous risk of nuclear holocaust. The history of fights between liberal democracy and its antagonists is fraught with war, oppression and prolonged authoritarianism.
It wasn't that long ago, when the Berlin Wall fell, that liberal democracy seemed overwhelmingly likely to win worldwide. The end of history did not last long. The two big challenges liberal democracy faces are Islamist extremism and capitalist authoritarianism.
These are both ideological and physical challenges. Putinism is an authoritarian style of governance that sends warplanes, naval ships and troops to harass and occupy its neighbours and adversaries. The same can be said of Xi Jinping's China, which is making the South China Sea into its backyard and harassing its neighbours.
The Islamist extremist challenge comes above all from al- Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIS), which are competing with each other even as they destroy fragile states such as Libya, Yemen and Syria. Iraq appears to be winning its fight, though it is likely to face a virulent insurgency even after it ends ISIS control over parts of its territory. The outcome is unlikely to be liberal democratic. Many other states face that kind of insurgent Islamist threat: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Somalia and Tunisia, to name but a few.
The biggest threat to liberal democracy today comes from inside the liberal democracies themselves. Islamist terror has killed relatively few people, apart from 9/11. Popular overreaction to Islamist threats, immigration and globalisation could bring to power people with little commitment to liberal democratic values in the United States, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark and elsewhere. They will seek to re-establish borders, slow or end immigration, impose draconian laws to root out terrorists and restore trade barriers in the hope of regaining lost industries.
Another challenge, peculiar to the United States, seems to be emerging: black insurgents with guns who think they are retaliating against police for abuse of black citizens. This is bound to elicit a law and order response that could bring a real threat to liberal democracy in Washington: Trump in the presidency.
The menace to liberal democracy is real. If we want pluralism, human rights and the rule of law, we are going to have to take some risks. I find it an easy choice but many of my compatriots seem inclined to lean in the other direction.

Four Dalit youths who were beaten up in Gir-Somnath district of Gujarat for possessing beef. Photo: youtube.com
Even as Dalits protested against the dilution of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, few have noticed that there are hardly any special courts to try these cases
~By Neeraj Mishra in Raipur
In a stark example of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing, scores of Dalits recently protested against the perceived dilution of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (POA) by the Supreme Court while not taking note of the fact that there were no courts to implement the Act itself. The POA seeks to protect Dalits and tribals against atrocities by other castes through special courts in each district in the country. But only 170 out of 650 districts in the country have a special court and only 14 out of 30 states actually follow this practice.
Gujarat, with a population of 7 percent Dalits and 8 percent tribals, till 2016 did not deem it fit to have one special court for them under the Act. Similarly, Maharashtra, which has been in the vanguard of the anti-POA stir, still does not have more than five special courts, though it has a practice of screening complaints by Dalits through 15 panels under the SC/ST Commission.
Perhaps the only special courts working today are CBI special courts which handle cases under the Delhi Police Act. Even the National Investigation Agency Act or the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 are bereft of any special status and cases under them are handled in designated courts with a district judge attached to them, sometimes part-time.
The Dalit uprising following the suicide of Rohith Vemula and the rise of Dalit leaders in Gujarat prior to assembly elections there, may have forced an amendment of the POA in 2015, but it appears to have had little impact so far. Though the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act, 2015, specified further action in many cases of atrocities, Dalit activists believe there is a dichotomy between the written word and what is being practised.
Some of the atrocities on Dalits are horrendous—tonsuring of the head and moustache, denying access to irrigation facilities or forest rights, garlanding with chappals, compelling them to dispose of or carry human or animal carcasses, dig graves, do manual scavenging, dedicating SC/ST women as devadasis and abuse in the name of caste or economic boycott, removing the garments of SC/ST women and acts or gestures of a sexual nature against them.
The amendment envisages special public prosecutors to try offences under the POA Act. Special courts are supposed to have the power to take direct cognisance of the offence and as far as possible, complete trial of the case within two months from the date of filing of the chargesheet. But when there are no special courts, these stipulations are actually meaningless.
"State governments will have to show more willpower to tackle cases registered under POA," said Nand Kumar Sai, chairman of the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes. He also said that though Scheduled Tribes are also covered under the Act, very few cases are registered by STs under the Act. On an average, 25,000 cases of atrocities are registered every year, mostly in UP, Bihar and MP. Sai believes less than 10 percent are based on complaints by tribals. Advocates who have dealt with atrocity cases say that it is the scheduled castes who feel more slighted against and have a historical backlog of emotional and physical hurt.
What Dalit activists need to focus on is the pendency rates in courts for cases filed under POA. They are huge. The national average itself is about 84 percent. But states like Maharashtra, UP and West Bengal have a pendency rate well above the average. And in the absence of exclusive courts, these cases will only go up.
When you compare the pendency rate of POA cases against Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (POCA) cases, the priorities of the state become more pronounced. There are special fast-track courts being set up under POCA, although the total number of cases registered is just 1/10th of those under the POA.
Immediately after the apex court pronounced that agencies require prior investigation before registering cases under POA, Additional Director General of Police in Chhattisgarh RK Vij issued an advisory on April 6 to all police stations in the state. It asked them to strictly adhere to the SC guidelines and not register cases, something Dalits have been agitated over. An embarrassed state government is now a petitioner in the Supreme Court for review of the judgment after it had to hurriedly withdraw Vij's order.
The central government has been mulling an ordinance to overrule the SC order, while the top court itself has been at pains to explain that its order did not mean dilution of the Act itself. At such a juncture, the Union government might do well to focus on real time establishment of special courts to speedily dispose of cases and deliver justice to the downtrodden as envisaged in the Act.
No policy for special courts
Between 1950 and 2015, nearly 28 statutes mandated the establishment of special courts. These statutes bestow the powers of district and sessions courts on special courts to ensure speedy and effective trial, even though these courts differ from quasi-judicial bodies, tribunals and commissions.
Available data, however, shows that there is no exclusivity about special courts. It's just jargon. The problem in implementation of these statutes arises from the fact that the law makes no differentiation between special courts and designated courts, while state governments do. Setting up a special court may require new infrastructure and facilities, whereas a designated court merely adds additional responsibilities to an existing court.
In a study, it was found that at least 15 statutes specifically provide for setting up of special courts but state governments have mostly taken the designation route. For instance, for something as important as the NIA Act, every state government has merely designated a district judge.
Lack of a sufficient budget for infrastructure and the financial burden of salary and maintenance on the state exchequer are said to be the main reasons for taking this route, but another reason could be lack of proper judicial officers and the process of selection of judges itself.
While the statutes make a distinction between regular courts and special courts, they do not formulate a different policy for recruitment of judges and court staff. State governments are left to their own devices and the result is there for all to see.
The Union law or finance ministry has also never budgeted for special courts nor provided state governments incentives for establishing them. While High Courts have been provided with budgets for the Lok Adalat and such, there is no provision for special courts. Until that happens and a unified policy for recruitment or deputation to special courts is devised, states are likely to continue cutting corners.
