15. A Moment for Mercy - Pray for the living and the dead
Surely God does need to be reminded that our loved ones are in need. So why pray for others? Praying for those in need can sometimes seem a very cheap and easy act of mercy. In fact it is a very demanding way of being merciful.
We can pray only with our lips, believing deep down that things will not change, or feeling we will be satisfied only with a miracle. But real prayer, Pope Francis recently said, is much more than a mere aspirin, something I take to get rid of what is bothering me, or to make me feel good.
True prayer is not to remind God what he needs to do, but to remind ourselves that we need God. If we believe we do not need God we will not be able to receive what he gives us, especially what we really need, more than material things: his Spirit of trust, love and mercy. As our loved ones face the mysterious suffering of life, it becomes a real act of mercy to ask that they open their hearts to receive the gift of trusting the Father and his mercy.
In prayer we take others to the heart of God. We are admitting that however much we love and care for others, there is also someone else who loves and cares for them too, someone much more merciful and powerful than we can ever be. We are acknowledging that by placing them in God's hands we are helping them be in the best place they can be.
"Prayer is a work of spiritual mercy that carries everything to the heart of God and says to him, 'You take it, you who are my father', according to Pope Francis. "God's heart is not armoured with all sorts of security measures, you can open it with a common key – prayer".

Before we even begin to discuss individual vehicle performance, the much larger question has to be asked: Why?
What is the point of these recent series of replacements? Exactly which problem is WG trying to solve?
All the evidence seems to point in the direction that WG is now needlessly obsessed with making each tank line stay consistent. Each tank has to serve exactly the same role and playstyle as its predecessor. And again, I have to ask why. How is this helpful? Which problem does it solve? And whatever that is, is it worth all the commotion in reshuffling the lines and otherwise making the replacements so generic? Probably not. All this effort would have been better spent elsewhere.
To be the devil's advocate here, it seems that the idea is that players would work their way up the line and have a hard time adjusting to the radically different play styles of tanks in the same lines as they moved up tiers. For instance, the old Conqueror and FV215b played completely differently. The Foch 155 was a pain to balance (Foch B balance is still questionable but let's not go there now) and the tier 8 and 9 got autoloaders. I don't disagree with this ideology-- A line of tanks should be researched by one another because they're similar. I see why they're making the Badger the top of the turretless TD line for the brits. That makes sense.
What I don't understand is this TD line change as well as the Obj 416 line change-- it seems odd that with the 416 you still go from rear-turret, rear-turret to mid-turret (EDIT: and with proposed changes you'd go from tier 7 rear turret to tier 8 rear turret to tier 9 mid turret to tier 10 mid turret) so the original problem still exists. For this TD line change the line was a little inconsistent, but only really at the tier 9. The others all play similarly. If the line is unpopular then buff it or something, but I don't like the proposed changes I see.

Excellent healthcare goes beyond the clinic walls where patients are seen by providers. One of the ways The Center provides patients with personalized care is through our referral and authorizations team. Acting on behalf of our patients, this team is dedicated to making sure insurance covers what they should so our doctors can offer our patients the best possible care. Sonja Badley has been with The Center for twelve years and has worked her way up as one of our leading referral specialists and authorizations team members. Sonja loves that she is able to help her Central Oregon community by ensuring patients get the best care and coverage out of their health plan.
Five acres east of town sits Sonya's family farm where she is raising seven Nigerian dwarf goats and a few pigs. After discovering the healing effects of goat milk soap, Sonja began turning her goats' milk into soothing soaps, lotions, and other bath products. She started her own small business called, Badley Farms, and sells her products at local craft shows and holiday markets. A fun fact about Sonja is that she was born in Germany, but moved to Bend when she was very young, where she has spent most of her life. From camping to coast trips, to family game nights at the lake, Sonja never tires of exploring and enjoying her Oregon home.

Gesture-Controlled Spiderbots Understand…
At the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in Shenzhen, China, April 8 and 9, company CEO Brian Krzanich demonstrated continued improvements in Curie, a button-sized microcomputer based on the Intel 32-bit Quark SE system on a chip for wearable devices.
Krzanich wore a Curie-powered wristband and controlled four machine spiders using a series of hand gestures that caused them to rise and stand on their legs, lift a limb, and go to sleep. He was even able to change the colors of LEDs on the robots.

Tax Bill Working Its Way to the Oval Office
The massive tax reform bill is well on its way to getting through final passage after the Senate approved the final version early this morning. The bill is now headed to the House for one more vote before it will make its way to President Trump's office. This tax reform bill will have significant impact on small business and agriculture, including changes to the death tax. Stay tuned for updates on final version of the bill!
YCLP Class V Applications Now Available
The Alabama Cattlemen's Association recognizes the need to cultivate our future leaders of the association and industry. The Young Cattlemen's Leadership Program (YCLP), funded in part by the Alabama State Beef Checkoff, aims to do just that by identifying the state's top young cattlemen and developing them into leaders of the future.
The three primary goals of the YCLP are:
- Provide participants with a "pasture to plate" experience of Alabama's beef industry
- Equip participants with the tools necessary to become an effective leader and to share their beef story with their peers
- Create a network of young cattlemen who the ACA can depend on to help with beef promotion and issues management as well as become industry leaders in the future
The YCLP consists of six meetings dispersed across Alabama over the course of a year. The class will be selected by a committee based on applications submitted. Preference will be given to those nominees who are between the ages of 20 & 40, but do not be discouraged to nominate yourself or someone else who falls out of that range.
If you're interested in the program or would like to nominate someone, find the form in the December issue of the Alabama Cattleman magazine or print the application.
Membership Update
ACA Membership Coordinator Jessica Kennedy is anxiously awaiting your county leadership updates and county annual meeting photos. She needs the names and contact information of the newest county leaders in order organize the updating of the magazine and website as well as provide the correct correspondence for important letters and emails pertaining to Board Members. Please send those updates to Jessica!

Iterable is a multi-channel growth marketing and user engagement platform that powers marketing, transactional, and lifecycle campaigns on email, web and mobile. Iterable requires your application to be collecting email addresses. This can be done by calling the
setUserIdentity SDK method.
There are two components to the Iterable event integration. All event forwarding is handled server-side by mParticle. To support Iterable's deeplinking capabilities, you must also include the Iterable Kit as part of your mParticle SDK installation. The embedded kit handles only deeplinking. Even if the kit is included, all event data is forwarded server-side.
The Iterable integration supports Android, iOS and Web data.
In order to forward events to Iterable, you must have an account with Iterable.
a. Select Integrations -> API Keys from the left navigation menu.
b. Click the Create New API Key button
c. Select to create a key of type Standard
d. Click Create
d. Save the value in the Key column of the table. This value is need to configure Iterable in the mParticle Service Integration.
If you will be sending push registration events, you will need to provide the Iterable Push Integration names as part of the mParticle configuration. This can be done from the Iterable platform.
a. Select Push Integrations -> Mobile Push from the left navigation menu.
b. Click Add Push Integration and enter the push integration name and platform.
c. Depending on the platform selected, you will need to enter additional parameters:
mParticle will forward the following identifiers to Iterable where available:
The Iterable integration allows you to map a custom event to Iterable's Update User Subscriptions api call. See the Platform Guide for general help with Custom Mappings. The 'Update Subscriptions' event takes the following attributes, all optional.
|Attribute Name
|Subscribed Email Lists
|Comma-separated list of all Iterable Email lists that the user is subscribed to.
|Unsubscribed Channel IDs
|Comma-separated list of all Iterable Email channel ids to unsubscribe from.
|Unsubscribed Message Type IDs
|Comma-separated list of all Iterable individual message type ids to unsubscribe. This will not unsubscribe from the associated channel.
|Campaign ID
|Campaign to attribute unsubscribes
|Template ID
|Template to attribute unsubscribes
mParticle also supports an Iterable Kit integration, which you can use to access Iterable's Deep Linking features. To use this integration, you need to include the Iterable kit in your installation of the mParticle SDK. The kit integration handles only Deep Linking. All other data is still sent server-to-server. The source code for each kit is available on Github:
To add the Iterable Kit to your iOS or Android app, see the Cocoapods and Gradle examples below, and reference the Apple SDK and Android SDK guides to read more about kits.
//Sample Podfile
target '<Your Target>' do
pod 'mParticle-iterable', '~> 6'
//Sample build.gradle
dependencies {
compile 'com.mparticle:android-iterable-kit:4+'
|Setting Name
|Data Type
|Default Value
|API Key
|API Key used to connect to the Iterable API - see the Integrations section of your Iterable account.
|GCM Push Integration Name
|GCM integration name set up in the Mobile Push section of your Iterable account.
|APNS Sandbox Integration Name
|APNS Sandbox integration name set up in the Mobile Push section of your Iterable account.
|APNS Production Integration Name
|APNS Production integration name set up in the Mobile Push section of your Iterable account.
|Coerce Strings to Scalars
|If enabled, mParticle will attempt to coerce string attributes into scalar types (integer, boolean, and float). Note: this setting does not apply to event attributes since mParticle will always attempt to coerce them into scalar types.
|Setting Name
|Data Type
|Default Value
|User ID
|Select which user identity to forward to Iterable as your customer's user ID.

There has been much talk and jostling about the status of the club championships in Europe. The way I read it, France and England are not overly content with teams from Italy and Scotland qualifying so easily for the Heineken Cup.
This debate made me think more broadly about the national competition equivalent starting next week – the Six Nations.
The original Home Championship started in 1883 and is obviously steeped in tradition, but in this age of professionalism, are we coming close to a point where the Six Nations begins to take on a promotion relegation system?
The European Nations Cup is starting to take the shape of a tough competition in its own right and has much more potential in terms of audience growth given that there are so many European nations involved.
I see here a conflict between two entities that one could sometimes mistake for being one in the same, the IRB and Six Nations Rugby Ltd.
Surely it is in the IRB's interest if not being the number one goal to expand and grow the game internationally.
Is a closed and elite competition like the 6N working directly against this objective? How is a team like Georgia who have won five of the past ENC tournaments going to get to the next level without being able to play against 6N sides on a regular basis?
The introduction of Italy has only been a good thing for rugby there, despite little on-field success, but surely a seven nations comp is one team too far. So, is relegation/promotion an option?
England a have played Scotland on an annual basis (except world war years) for the Calcutta Cup, which I believe to be the oldest piece of silverware in the international game.
It would be unspeakable for both the English and the Scots to imagine a year without a game because one of the teams was relegated to the ENC.
However, eventually the IRB will have to allow a system to allow third tier teams to flourish. Is the onus on the lesser ENC teams to raise the bar themselves or will we one day see a 6N competition that doesn't involve the current teams?
Maybe there will come a day where the winner of the 6N plays the winner of the ENC for "European bragging rights".
Of course I'm talking about at least 30 years down the track but it is probably better that the IRB considers todays minnows sooner rather than later.
There are many paths that the IRB can take to nurture world rugby via both club, provincial and national systems but one thing it can't do is neglect the minnows of the sport by excluding them from high level competition.
The Rugby World Cup is a great advertisement for the game but it can't be he sole access for smaller nations to show their abilities.
I'm hoping there will be 24 teams in the Rugby World Cup finals in Japan for example but things need to be done between world cups to reinforce and further the popularity of the sport.

Introduction: Ohio City Survival
I recently moved out on my own......well over a year atleast, and i learned quite a few things while living in a cheap place in a depressing neighborhood with nasty trees (sweet-gum ect), in ...Ohio
It's an experience....like community bathrooms
So here is an instructable on how to survive living like this
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: The People
Neighbors & Roomates keep the place interesting
Your roomate: Lay down the law, sometimes you have to impose conflict just the way life goes, dont be afraid to say hey pick up your 4 fast food bags in the living room, they've been there for 2 days (my roomate eats fast food daily...highly unrecomended his girlfriend has put on substantial weight eating with him)
The criminal neighbor: This guy has multiple felonies for....well idk i was too afraid to ask, usually you dont find out about this until it's too late though, so keep an eye out until you know him, he may turn out to be cool and give you free smashburger!
The crazy lady: that snoopy neighbor always staring at you and creepily standing in the street in the middle of the night.... keep an eye out for this one she'll rat you out to your landlord in a heartbeat.
The neighbor that probably is doing something illegal: This is a house better left ignored. They leave the trashcan on the curb 24/7 and random cars come and go from the place. Always avoid these people, but feel free to nock the trash can over every once in a while when you're "backing" up.
Step 2: The Landlord
Avoid the landlord AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE 99% of the time they are psycotic and have been dealing with tenants too long. All you have to do is be nice to your building mates and mail the rent on time...otherwise you have to put up with the source of evil taking your rent....the landlord.
Never believe anything your landlord says they are not your friend
p.s. (US only) starting in 2012 mailing the rent the day before the due date wont work because of USPS cuts :'(
Step 3: The Crib
In an old un-renovated apartment, you MUST weatherproof in the winter. Check under your sink and other cabinets too, they may have huge holes in the back that cause massive heatlosses 10$ can save you $100+ on your heating bill. Just buy a plastic window cover kit that comes with the door sealer as well.
Lots of rugs make the place look better if the carpet is nasty and looks like a body was drug across the floor.
Poor lighting is also a concern, dont use the lightbulbs already in because they are probably Incandesent, go get some CFL's and get your rebate from the power company.
If your living room is missing an overhead light, put a lamp in each corner.
A well lit room makes it more inviting for friends actually WANT to come visit your place.
The outside of your building: Face it your landlords not going to pay extra for the landscaper to clean it up the leaves composting on the porch/driveway, neither are you...unless you have a snow shovel otherwise i'd advise doing something about it
Step 4: And Life Goes On
Hopefully you dont have to live like this for extended periods of time and you can eventually leave.
Your neighborhood experience makes for some great stories about that time you lived in a crappy apartment.
This instructable was made while i was at work
It is Just as a spoof on all the wilderness survival guides, Nothing is to be taken for anything other than the laughs i got writing it
Someone like me has a 1% chance of being stranded in the middle of the amazon or some other terestrial senario so i figured why not write a survival guide
....surviving this can be harder

when you see a neighbor wheeling out the trash in his grandmothers wheel chair look the other way, If you ever see food in boxes in the lobby don't take any its not safe. just my to cents.
You sir have not lived in Ohio long enough! I have lived in Ohio my entire life, and know a few more things about it than you do. In Dayton we have a Christian book-store next to an adult fetish store. I know a preacher in Columbus who lives above a bar. I have seen people wash their cars with a floor mop. Ohio is the place where we complain about cold in the winter forgetting how hot and humid it gets in the summer. Ohio is where you invent all types of things in the winter because you are stuck inside, and activities to do in the dark during the summer because that is the only time you sweet less than normal. Ohio, where you are no more than twenty minutes from a place of higher education. Ohio, where you can drink the tap water. Ohio where you can't buy fireworks, but you can buy everything to make your own in the city. Ohio, where most of us can smell the difference between cow crap and dog crap on your shoes. Ohio where we have two football/baseball teams and you can't root for both. Ohio is a wonderful place to live as long as you haven't lived somewhere else! Give it some time living in Ohio. Soon you will not be offended by the people around you, but understand you are in an unscripted sit-com.
Ha HA Unscripted sitcom, i just hope mine is interesting.
I've lived here my whole life too, i just recently moved from the country to the city, complete lifestyle change.
But...i can do without the 50'' of rain we've had this year

New Website Section - Humour
A random assortment of Pilates related images / cartoons that 'hit the mark' with me.
I have added a new section including posts / threads from some of the discussions I have started as well as ones I found particularly helpful.
This looks like being a larger than a usual class - I'd like ensure I organise enough mats and special Danish Pastries (made by Sammy - bribery anyone?..).....
So.... if your name isn't on the attached list, please can you book in via this link: http://www.adelaide-pilates.com/bookings.html
Slightly unorthodox class plan in the making......

I am trying to find the plastic front cover for the President Jackson. It works with the cover from either the completely black model or the chrome model.
It is the cover that sits on top of the S-meter, channel display and the four push buttons.
If you have a non working radio that you want to sell I am happy to purchase it from you since I can have use for other parts as well.

Bumblebaby Diapers Review
During a Baby Show, I came across Bumblebaby Diapers which was started by working at home mom, Jamie Thoden. My husband and I ordered two pocket diapers from her wide selection of prints. My husband was thrilled to see a bicycle print so we bought one of those and another made with cute giraffes. Jamie has some really unique prints available; some are covered in cotton with a hidden PUL layer and some are just a PUL outer like a typical pocket diaper.
The pocket diapers have the opening at the front and are closed with a snap. I like having that snap there to keep the insert from sticking out and I like that the insert is easy to shake out without having to dirty your hands. The pocket itself is not lined with fleece that normally lines pocket diapers but a polyester material called pique. It seems to help pull the liquid through to the insert and help keep the skin drier.
The insert is made of bamboo and it was recommended to me after we experienced some leaks that it will need around six to eight washes to make it extra absorbent. Now that the diapers have been washed approximately seven times they are working better and there have been no leaks. I've also tried the diapers with a microfiber insert and I found this worked really well.
They are very trim on Nina but at this stage in Nina's growth I find it difficult to snap them at the waist in a way so they don't bunch up but also don't leave a gaping hole. It's almost as if Nina is in between snaps and I've noticed that it has caused some "wing droop" which causes the diaper to loosen around the inside of the legs. I kind of wish the tabs to do up the waist had four snaps on each side instead of just three. I'm sure eventually Nina will get to a stage where they'll fit well. I know I have experienced this before – a diaper has not worked and then after Nina has grown a little bit, they seem to fit a lot better.
Jamie doesn't just sell diapers – she also sells wool soakers, cloth wipes, nursing pads and other related products. I really love how distinct her prints are and Jamie is very approachable and eager to help with troubleshooting. Even though we experienced a couple of leaks, the diapers themselves are really well made. I knew from the start that sometimes cloth diapers can be finicky and it may take a few tries to figure out where to snap the rise and waist and the best inserts to use to create the perfect fit.

I've been wanting to add some instructional beginning jazz piano posts and things have slowed down a bit so I'm getting a chance to add some materials. I suppose my intention is for these blurbs to act as a supplement to a good teacher and certainly not a complete method. Those interested in a good method book should check out Mark Levine's "The Jazz Piano Book" – it's pretty solid, but is certainly no substitute for a good teacher. Well, with no further ado-
The 2-5-1… the ii-V7-I… however you care to notate it, the progression is the basic building block of jazz, or at least of many classic jazz standards (notably, most of the "Great American Songbook"). I'm not going to get into a theory lesson on modes (Dorian, Mixolydian, Ionian, and their relative functions – maybe in another post) and am going to assume a basic knowledge of jazz theory.
So when you think about chord voicings for a ii-V7-I progression, there are two important things to keep in mind – the chord qualities, and your role as a pianist. For a beginning pianist, the majority of the time you will be playing in a small group or a big band with a bass player, so in these scenarios you can drop the root out of your voicings since the bass player will have it covered. In a Major ii-V7-I progression you're dealing with three different chord qualities – Major 7th, Dominant 7th , and minor 7th. All three of these chord qualities share the same 5th and since this note doesn't tell you anything about the quality of the chord, this note can be sacrificed as well.
So what does this leave you with? The 3rd and 7th. Just two notes can define a chord in a simple, no-frills voicing and when you distill a 2-5-1 into two-note voicings, an interesting trend emerges – you can very clearly see/hear the half-step resolutions between the three chords. Check out how the 7th of the minor ii chord resolves down a half step to the 3rd of the Dominant V chord, and then how the 7th of the Dominant chord resolves down a half step to the 3rd of the Major I chord. Not only do these voicings function very well in practical applications, they also serve as a great exercise in training your ear to "hear" the way a 2-5-1 progression resolves.
You'll notice that I call these "Rootless" 2-5-1 voicings but the music below has the root of each of these chords in the left hand. There are a multitude of ways in which you can practice this exercise and I'll outline a few and their functions.
1) Practice the sheet as is, with left hand playing the bass notes – if you have these voicings available in your right hand, you can play bass in the left an accompany an instrumentalist/vocalist without a bass player
2) Leave the bass notes out and practice the treble clef part with your left hand – having these voicings available in your left hand allows you to accompany yourself when playing a solo or when playing with a trio. It will also allow you to build extensions off these voicings later.
Also, though it can be cumbersome, it is immensely helpful to read the names of the chords out loud as you play them. This helps to ensure that you are not just memorizing patterns but learning chord types and will allow for easier recall of the respective voicing when you see a chord symbol. This is also a great exercise for instrumentalists who have some familiarity with the piano.

Representing the first decision in which an individual was held liable under CASL for violations committed by a corporation, the CRTC recently issued penalties of $100,000 against Brian Conley, the president and chief executive officer (CEO) of a group of businesses known as the "nCrowd" companies.
Canada's Anti-Spam Law (CASL) provides for substantial penalties for non-compliance with the possibility of a maximum fine of $1,000,000 for individuals and $10,000,000 for organizations. As well, certain individuals can be found vicariously liable for the non-compliance of an organization even if the regulator, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) does not pursue the organization.
In response to complaints that were filed in the anti-spam reporting centre in 2015, the CRTC began an investigation in order to assess the business activities of the nCrowd group for compliance with section 6 of the CASL, which requires that commercial electronic messages must be sent with consent, must have prescribed language including to identify the sender and must have the prescribed form of unsubscribe mechanism. The business activities of the companies involved promoting the products and services of merchants on various Internet websites, including by the sale of electronic vouchers for these products and services.
The investigation revealed a complex series of Canadian and international transactions such as acquisitions, foreclosures, and bankruptcies. The key assets acquired in the transactions listed in the chart were the email distribution list, domain names and trademarks. Through these ownership changes, key individuals directing the former company were able to continue to carry on business by directing the new one, but without the existing liabilities of the former company. As a result, the customer email distribution list grew to reach more than 2 million email addresses.
In this case, the companies sending the messages were initially operational, then quickly dissolved or otherwise ended so that the CRTC identified that any enforcement actions directed towards such companies would have no deterrent effect. As a result the CRTC pursued the corporate directors through vicarious liability in order to encourage future compliance with CASL.
The CRTC investigation lead to Decision 2019-111, which indicated that between September 25, 2014, and May 1, 2015, nCrowd, Inc. sent CEMs or caused or permitted any of its subsidiaries to send CEMs to electronic addresses without consent, and without a functioning unsubscribe mechanism, contrary to CASL. The CRTC found that Brian Conley acquiesced in these violations, while he was the president and CEO of the nCrowd companies.
Notably, the nCrowd group used "pixel tagging" to track whether an email address was valid, if and when the email was opened, and from which computer the email was viewed, without asking the recipient directly. This technique is often used for analytics of email open rates. While generating a long list of valid email addresses with high open rates is useful for email distribution, the CRTC's view was that the use of pixel tagging "itself by its very nature does not reflect the existence of consent from recipients, and thereby it cannot be a way to manage distribution lists in compliance" with CASL. "In other words, by opening an email, a recipient does not provide (nor retroactively provide) the originator with express or implied consent to send them CEMs."
By decision its 2019-111 dated April 23, 2019, the CRTC confirmed the violations committed by nCrowd, Inc., and the liability of its director and CEO Mr. Conley, pursuant to section 31 of CASL as well as the penalty amount of $100,000.
As an aside, implicated in the nCrowd scheme was Ghassan Halazon, the CEO of several companies involved in the transactions. Mr. Halazon was earlier pursued by the CRTC also on a vicarious liability basis but entered into an undertaking with the CRTC and paid $10,000.
The case shows the CRTC is willing to pursue complex schemes involving violations of CASL. This is the kind of matter that it is submitted ought to be the proper subject of compliance efforts under CASL.
This case is also a good reminder that liability under CASL can potentially extend to a corporation's officers, directors, agents or mandataries if such individuals directed, authorized, assented to, acquiesced in or participated in the commission of a CASL violation.

text: This is a public apology to Eric Tiedemann for remarks that I made in my 'angry diatribe' of a few nights ago. I apologize for saying or otherwise implying that Eric had said either that 'Yary Hluchan's questions were in some way inappropriate for lojban-list', or that 'all people should direct questions to one person'. Eric said neither of those things, and has made it clear to me that he did not intend his statements to be interpreted that way. I was unaware that Yary and Eric knew each other previously, and that the offer to 'screen questions' was intended more along the lines of an off-line briefing, rather than a screening for inappropriate remarks. I also failed to note the significance of Eric's use of the words "feel free" intending to convey this as an option and not a request. On the matter of electronic media distribution, there apparently was some miscommunication between me and Eric regarding what I intended as materials for him to use with the New York class. Eric has made it clear to me that he was acting honestly and in line with what he understood my intentions to be. To reduce the likelihood of future misunderstandings on the issue, the new issue of JL12 (which will go to all of you who are level 1 or higher) has a (longer and) more refined statement of the policy and, more important, the reasons for the policy. The policy is open to change if people come up with convincing reasons for such change - it will be specifically discussed at LogFest. For now, suffice it to say that there is no intent to withhold information from people - it is more a matter of what is practical given our resources and schedule. I'm hoping that this apology will serve as a model for the future when people say things that impugn someone's character or their motives for activities promoting the language. A lot of people are investing considerable personal effort and emotion into the Loglan/Lojban project, and occasional outbursts are inevitable. Hopefully, I will set a better example of avoiding these; at least I'll try to be more careful in the future. However, I'm prone to 'off the cuff' statements that may be offensive to some, and I expect to be called on them (what you see in JL and LK has often been reviewed by at least two other people before publication). I also view my role as leader of the Lojban effort as being a 'civil servant' of the community, with the emphasis on 'servant', though hopefully a bit more civil. I have to be a bit more careful than most to think about the 'political implications' of any statement from me 'as leader'. This is difficult when I'm on this net - I have a long-distance-bill time clock hanging over me that prevents me from thinking out what I have to say. Thus - please do not take statements that I make on-line (or at least those in reply to someone else and therefore probably done on line without sufficient thought) as 'decisions', 'policy', or even as anything more than my spur-of-the-moment reaction. Disregarding my personal remarks in my diatribe, I would still like to see more discussion of the basic topics of the language on this list. We add new people to this list all the time, who need to be brought up to speed, of course. But more important, a demonstrated understanding of the basics is essential to being credible when discussion moves to more advanced topics. I can't be the one to initiate basic questions. And I'd rather answer questions only when someone else can't, such as when they involve the illogical reasons why we did some things in the language design. In the hope of polite, but productive discussion in the future: lojbab = Bob LeChevalier President, The Logical Language Group, Inc.

In Ukrainian Spetsnaz circles, of course, many knew Shapoval. Censor.NET gathered information about this man that can now be made public.
Maksym Shapoval
Maksym Shapoval was born on July 6, 1978 in Vinnytsia. He graduated from military college of the National Technical University of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute in 2000. In 2016 he graduated from Yevhen Berezniak Military and Diplomatic Academy. His entire military service was connected to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Defense Ministry (HUR), where he was offered a job after graduation. He was a commander of a unit and died as a commander of Spetsnaz of HUR MoD — military unit No.2245.
The unit's birthday is celebrated annually on July 1. Well, now this day, and the birthday of its commander, will be the days of mourning, days to remember the killed commander…
Shapoval was appointed commander of military intelligence Spetsnaz in January 2014, during the Yanukovych tenure. However, the military Spetsnaz did not participate in any of the Maidan events. Shapoval had a professional reputation among Spetsnaz troops that helped him keep his post after the Revolution.
Since the beginning of the war, HUR Spetsnaz has been one of the best trained units under military command. Unfortunately, on the early stages of the war Spetsnaz was used as a security for generals, as a reserve, as infantry — not for intended purpose. But Spetsnaz fighters were fulfilling their tasks.
On May 26, 2014, during the first fight for the Donetsk airport, a group of military Spetsnaz led by Shapoval himself, together with other reserve units of ATO (anti-terrorist operation) commander was redeployed to reinforce a unit of the 3rd regiment of Spetsnaz in the old terminal, and participated in that fighting.
The war went on, and the use of military intelligence has gradually become more structured and purposed.
The military Spetsnaz fulfilled a number of combat tasks during which mercenaries had been captured who were valuable for the enemy and used for exchange of captive citizens of Ukraine.
Recently, the directorate headed by Shapoval fulfilled a number of important combat tasks that inflicted losses to the major enemy - the Russian secret services. The enemy is hitting because they have many times suffered from the activities of the Ukrainian intelligence.
Some information that can be disclosed. Our sources in Shapoval's directorate told us of one operation. On June 7, 2017, Military Intelligence Spetsnaz of Ukraine in the occupied Donbas liquidated one of the leading officers of Vympel unit of Russia's FSB, Colonel Yury Mikhaylovich Cherkashyn, born in 1972. Cherkashyn was in charge of organizing terrorist attacks in Ukraine.
The attempt on Maksym Shapoval is only a part of terror unleashed by Russian secret services in Ukraine. It's an attempt to disorganize the operations of the Ukrainian secret services, to kick out officers whose activities are dangerous for the enemy.
Obviously, Maksym was hunted for. He was not a public figure and realized that he could be one of the targets for the enemy as the operation conducted by his detachment were causing a stir.
At 12:28 p.m. on the attempt day, Russian Regnum website published an article by some Russian author who was slandering Maksym, i.e. they used the same scheme of black PR to cover the murder as they did with the killings of Denys Voronenkov and Colonel Oleksandr Kharaberiush.
Unfortunately, some of those who recently contacted Shapoval brought Russian agents to him. It was not necessarily an acting officer - maybe it's a former employee, or a friend, an acquaintance. This traitor acted in Kyiv, as a member of a Russian terrorist organization.
We are confronting a strong and dangerous enemy — Russia has been waging constant wars for 26 years now, and the border between our countries is conditional, and the front line of the secret services war is deep in the rear.
Maksym Shapoval is survived by his family: wife, a five-year-old daughter, and a two-year-old son…
Rest in peace, the hero who died for freedom and independence of our Motherland.

Trade war with China jacks up the cost of goods from cribs to Christmas lights
Did you pull out last year's Christmas lights, and did they work? If you can avoid buying new lights this year, you are doing well — though you might want to stock up for 2019. That's when the prices of goods from China, like the lights, are liable to jump again.
Christmas lights sticker shock? Worth considering before you trim the tree.
The matter stems from the trade war with China, the maker of more than 80 percent of Christmas lights, according to U.S. Census data. President Donald Trump earlier this year slapped import tariffs on billions of dollars of goods from China, and that is driving up costs for Americans. The idea is that Americans will stop buying from China and buy American-made instead — thus creating a bargaining chip in trade negotiations.
But virtually no one in the U.S. makes Christmas lights.
Sellers in the U.S. are paying more for the lights and a slew of other Chinese-made goods. They pass on costs to consumers in the form of higher prices.
Shopping at the Dollar General in Canandaigua on Wednesday was Emily Wittek. She said she hadn't priced this year's Christmas lights. She hoped she wouldn't need to buy new ones.
"I'll use what I've got," said Wittek, a single mother of a 6-year-old, adding she has plenty of expenses and can't afford much on decorations.
"This is another instance when these tariffs are nothing more than a tax on businesses and working families," said Charles Boustany, spokesman for anti-tariff business group Tariffs Hurt the Heartland. "Raising costs for businesses and consumers during the holidays doesn't do anything but punish Americans who, polls show, want nothing to do with this trade war."
Boustany urged the president to use his upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping to strike a deal to end the tariffs, avoid another round of tariffs on additional consumer products, and avoid the upcoming New Year's Day tariff hike. "Millions of Americans are counting on him to make that deal," Boustany said.
This week, the president warned China he won't back down on the tariffs. Trump said he plans to raise the existing 10 percent US import tariff on Chinese goods to 25 percent on Jan. 1.
Meanwhile, big retailers warned they would raise prices to offset their increased costs for goods hit with tariffs. Walmart, the biggest U.S. retailer, told the White House in September that its tariffs could make it more expensive for U.S. households to buy merchandise, ranging from shampoo to food, cribs to Christmas lights.
"This round of tariffs could impact a significant number of common consumer items that are not easily replaceable," wrote Sarah F. Thorn, a senior director for global government affairs at Walmart, in a Sept. 6 letter to the U.S. Trade Representative. "The immediate impact will be to raise prices on consumers and tax American business and manufacturers."
