"Straight from the shoulder I think like a soldier
I know what's right and what's wrong.
He knows what's right and what's wrong!
I'm the original discriminating buffalo man
And I'll do what's wrong for as long as I can.
He'll do what's wrong for as long as he can!"
The Minotaur's Song by Incredible String Band
Having never worked in a restaurant before, I had the choice of starting out as a busser or a host. Cleaning up tables seemed like too much work, whereas greeting people at the door and escorting them to their seats (punctuated by periodic bursts of song) sounded like just the kind of breezy job duties I could handle. As we rehearsed for the opening, like minded musicians found each other and duos and trios began forming. This was especially helpful to someone like me, who could marginally provide my own piano accompaniment, but who would be much better off singing while one of the other far better pianists (or guitarists) played. And I was hoping I could convince some other people, musicians and singers, to join me on a couple of "group" numbers. I was very lucky early on as there were many brave souls willing to help me in what would turn out to be somewhat whacked out, peculiar performances.
Opening night arrived; the joint was PACKED. Here's an encapsulation of the Great Northern experience, which repeated itself in one form or another for the 18 months I was there: The "C's" (a not exactly affectionate term for "customers" coined by Bongo) would come in the front door to be greeted by one of the four hosts: two attractive young women (think "American Idol"), one who mainly sang "show-tunish" numbers and another who was more pop influenced; a tall, handsome, blond haired country singer (think TV network CMT); or a long-haired, bearded, wild-eyed "outsider" type (uh, that being me). To the right was a full bar with a copy-playing rock band. To their left was the restaurant. One of us hosts would escort the party to their table. The chances were high that there would be someone performing. The chances were also high that the signature dish, The Plank, would be making its way to one or another corner of the room. Food, liquor and music were served up non-stop throughout the night.
The Plank was an attraction unto itself. It was a maybe six by three foot long piece of wood piled high with barbeque-sauce slathered ribs, various other meats and cheeses, and a selection of fruits and vegetables. It actually came in several sizes depending on how many people were in the party that ordered it. It brought a sort of medieval, bacchanalian edge to the whole proceedings. Two people had to carry it out of the kitchen, and it was usually greeted with as much (if not more) enthusiasm as a well-played musical number. (The waiters tried to be careful regarding just when they brought it out – its appearance could absolutely destroy some of the quieter musical numbers.)
In between a mouthful of ribs, a shot of whiskey, and raucous table conversation, here's what an unwary C might experience those first few months: Bo Richards blasting through the Stones' Heartbreaker with a voice that filled the always noisy space (there was no amplification); the breathtaking vocal magic of Sears, Seely and Nitz on Home to You; the folksy roots music of Marty C; the show-stopping beauty of Antoinette, Nancy and Alice's Soft Spoken Man/Desperado medley; the Nicky Hopkins/Elton John-like brilliance of Ichabod's piano playing; the calming beauty of Gray and Cathy's Bluebird; the rhythm and blues piano playing Lanny supporting the raunchy decadence of Lindaroo as she stopped the show with Don't You Feel My Leg. The list could go on, and will, but for now, suffice it to say there was a mighty, mighty, array of amazingly talented performers who made strong impressions and immediate repeat customers out of the folks who came to visit.

GFOA is working to get more students involved in the organization. A number of initiatives are in place or in the works for the upcoming year. In early 2018, GFOA updated and enhanced its student membership brochure to reflect the benefits of becoming a student member, and to highlight the low cost of membership. In early April, GFOA awarded scholarships to 11 students totaling $100,000. The scholarship program continues to be a successful way to get students involved in the organization.
GFOA is working with the organization Engaging Local Government Leaders (ELGL) on projects that involve students and that partnership is already paying off. In March, GFOA was the title sponsor of the ELGL On Campus: Inspiring Women to Local Government Careers event at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. One of the students who participated in the event will be working with GFOA this summer as a paid intern. GFOA has already committed to sponsoring five undergraduate events with ELGL during the 2018-2019 school year (dates and locations are TBA).
GFOA staff have had a number of conversations with university staff and students across the country about how to increase engagement and generate interest in government finance as a profession. These conversations are paying off in a number of ways. The University of Kentucky, Georgia State University, Kansas State University, and Northern Illinois University were exhibitors at GFOA's 112th Annual Conference for the first time. They were joined by the University of Georgia, Ohio University-Pearson, and the University of Connecticut. In addition to 2018's new university exhibitors, GFOA received positive and constructive feedback on the local student scholarship, which was launched this year.
One of the most exciting initiatives is in its very early stages. GFOA staff are working to launch the organization's first student chapter. Preparation for the launch involves determining which schools would be ideal pilot candidates and developing a chapter model. In the course of this preparation, GFOA staff have gained insight into some of GFOA's challenges to student growth, namely, that awareness of GFOA may be limited to professors with public finance specialties and a personal history in the profession. Therefore, GFOA will continue to pursue new methods of communication with and outreach to students.
Last month, GFOA met with state/provincial representatives at the annual conference in St. Louis. The group provided great feedback to staff on steps forward in student outreach, including coordinating some efforts with state/provincial associations. In the coming months, GFOA staff will work to contact leaders of these associations to continue these conversations.
All of the initiatives launched so far have generated confidence that the student initiative will be a success and will be central to GFOA's mission of serving and promoting excellent government finance officers.
If you have ideas on how to get more students involved in GFOA, contact Adam Braffman or Timothy Martin.

Immunotherapy with engineered T cells expressing a tumor-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is under intense preclinical and clinical investigation. This involves a rapidly increasing portfolio of novel target antigens and CAR designs that need to be tested in time- and work-intensive screening campaigns in primary T cells. Therefore, we anticipated that a standardized screening platform, similar as in pharmaceutical small molecule and antibody discovery, would facilitate the analysis of CARs by pre-selecting lead candidates from a large pool of constructs that differ in their extracellular and intracellular modules. Because CARs integrate structural elements of the T cell receptor (TCR) complex and engage TCR-associated signaling molecules upon stimulation, we reasoned that the transcription factors nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) could serve as surrogate markers for primary T cell function. The nuclear translocation of both transcription factors in primary T cells, which we observed following CAR stimulation, supported our rationale to use NF-κB and NFAT as indicators of CAR-mediated activation in a screening platform. To enable standardized and convenient analyses, we have established a CAR-screening platform based on the human T cell lymphoma line Jurkat that has been modified to provide rapid detection of NF-κB and NFAT activation. For this purpose, Jurkat cells contained NF-κB and NFAT-inducible reporter genes that generate a duplex output of cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) and green fluorescent protein (GFP), respectively. Upon stimulation of NF-κB/NFAT reporter cells, the expression of both fluorophores could be readily quantified in high-throughput screening campaigns by flow cytometry. We modified the reporter cells with CD19-specific and ROR1-specific CARs, and we co-cultured them with antigen-positive stimulator cells to analyze NF-κB and NFAT activation. CAR-induced reporter signals could already be detected after 6 hours. The optimal readout window with high-level reporter activation was set to 24 hours, allowing the CAR-screening platform to deliver results in a rapid turnaround time. A reporter cell-screening campaign of a spacer library with CARs comprising a short, intermediate or long IgG4-Fc domain allowed distinguishing functional from non-functional constructs. Similarly, reporter cell-based analyses identified a ROR1-CAR with 4-1BB domain from a library with different intracellular signal modules due to its ability to confer high NF-κB activation, consistent with data from in vitro and in vivo studies with primary T cells. The results of both CAR screening campaigns were highly reproducible, and the time required for completing each testing campaign was substantially shorter with reporter cells (6 days) compared to primary T cells (21 days). We further challenged the reporter cells in a large-scale screening campaign with a ROR1 CAR library comprising mutations in the VH CDR3 sequence of the R11 scFv. This region is crucial for binding the R11 epitope of ROR1, and we anticipated that mutations here would cause a loss of specificity and affinity for most of the CAR variants. This provided the opportunity to determine whether the CAR screening platform was able to retrieve functional constructs from a large pool of CAR variants. Indeed, using a customized pre enrichment and screening strategy, the reporter cells identified a functional CAR variant that was present with a frequency of only 6 in 1.05x10^6. As our CAR-screening platform enabled the analysis of activating signal modules, it encouraged us to also evaluate inhibitory signal modules that change the CAR mode of action. Such an inhibitory CAR (iCAR) can be used in logic gates with an activating CAR to interfere with T cell stimulation. By selecting appropriate target antigens for iCAR and CAR, this novel application aims to improve the selectivity towards tumor cells, and it could readily be studied using our screening platform. Accordingly, we tested CD19-specific iCARs with inhibitory PD-1 signal module for their suppressive effect on reporter gene activation. In logic gates with CAR or TCR stimulation, a decrease of NF-κB and NFAT signals was only observed when activating and inhibitory receptors were forced into spatial proximity. These results were further verified by experiments with primary T cells. In conclusion, our reporter cell system is attractive as a platform technology because it is independent of testing in primary T cells, exportable between laboratories, and scalable to enable small- to large-scale screening campaigns of CAR libraries. The pre-selection of appropriate lead candidates with optimal extracellular and intracellular modules can reduce the number of CAR constructs to be investigated in further in vitro and in vivo studies with primary T cells. We are therefore confident that our CAR-screening platform based on NF-κB/NFAT reporter cells will be useful to accelerate translational research by facilitating the evaluation of CARs with novel design parameters.

According to their website,
"The We Campaign is a project of The Alliance for Climate Protection — a nonprofit, nonpartisan effort founded by Nobel laureate and former Vice President Al Gore. The goal of the Alliance is to build a movement that creates the political will to solve the climate crisis — in part through repowering America with 100 percent of its electricity from clean energy sources within 10 years. Our economy, national security, and climate can't afford to wait."
The following is the test of an e-mail sent to The We Campaign by yours truly:
If one defines a "religious cult" as an organization that:
1) Follows its leader blindly and without question
2) Holds a system of beliefs that is not supported by scientific fact
3) Expects the world to change to conform with its beliefs
4) Believes that the end of the world is coming
Then you, my friends, are a religious cult.
Have a nice day.

Laura has always been passionate about making people look beautiful. Growing up with three little sisters, there was always an opportunity to play "stylist" and "makeovers".
Having had an interest in art and design, she went on to get her Bachelor's degree in Fine Art and Visual Communication. She found her true talent and passion in learning to blend and match colors, and perfecting her skills with a brush. She then decided to use those skills toward something she also loved . . . Makeup! She worked for various cosmetic companies including Estee Lauder and Laura Mericer, until she found her home with Stila Cosmetics. She joined Stila's Southern California Pro Artistry Team for seven years, training and working alongside top celebrity makeup artists. She has years of experience with special events, weddings, make-overs, photo shoots, and fashion shows.
Weddings have always been her specialty, helping a bride look and feel her very best for such an important day. Having a creative eye and attention to detail, she succeeds in flawless applications. Laura takes great pride in her work and will never give up on making people beautiful! She is married to a wonderful loving husband, and they have 3 children.
Andrea has an artistic flair when it comes to hair design and make-up. Her passion and creativity in the world of beauty began at a young age when she was able to experiment on her younger sister. That same desire is continually evolving in her career today.
Andrea obtained her Associates degree in Science before following her dream. She attended the prestigious Paul Mitchell The School and graduated in 2003. It became evident early on that formal hair design was her talent. She did not shy away from any client requests. Andrea currently holds a cosmetology license in two states. Her continuing education includes coursework in theatrical makeup, MAC master classes, modeling, and several hair styling shows. However, Andrea's creative juices really flow when you mention the word wedding. She loves putting those finishing touches on the bride or bridal party to make that special day a memorable one. She also adores being a mom to her energetic 5 year-old son.

Whether her work takes her on location for a photo shoot, backstage for a fashion show or to a bride's home, Elaina demonstrates her talent and desire to create a flawless style to enhance her client. Her down to earth approach and her commitment to delivering the client's vision pale only in comparison to her inherent natural abilities. She continues to follow her passion and challenge herself every day in hopes of sharing her vision of modern beauty with women everywhere.
Katie has always been drawn to all things of beauty. As a young girl, her Barbie dolls were always fashion forward donning the latest hairstyles. As she got older her friends and family replaced her dolls as her real life models, and she styled them for weddings, dances, photo shoots and more. When it came time for Katie to choose a career, it was the natural choice for her to study cosmetology. She loved her years spent at Paul Mitchell, working as an assistant at the Newport Beach Christophe Salon, and finally graduating at the top of her class at Marinello in Southern California where they wanted her to stay on to instruct.
But Katie knew she would be happiest being a freelance artist specializing in weddings and building a clientele. Aside from being a natural at color, cuts & styling, Katie also specializes in eyelash extensions making her the perfect choice for your special day. From lashes to locks, she wants her clients to look and feel like a princess. At home, Katie also has two little princesses of her own and a loving, devoted husband who is her biggest fan. Katie works hard and plays hard because life is too short to not enjoy it to the fullest!

The Future of the European Peoples
Tom Sunic | The following is a translation of my speech delivered in the German language ( Die Zukunft der Völker Europa) at the NPD Summer Academy in Saarbrucken, Germany (August 23–26, 2012). The meeting and the lectures were also attended by several representatives of the Front National from the nearby Alsace, France. My original speech in the German language can be downloaded here.
First off, thanks to the NPD for the invitation. I would also like to extend my greetings from my colleagues from our American Third Position Party. The ethnic and demographic situation in Europe today looks completely different from 40 years ago. Therefore, it is appropriate to reevaluate differently terms such as 'nation', 'state' and 'national consciousness'. My main thesis is that the future of the European peoples, or rather their chances of survival, lie in the rejection of petty nationalism, in the rejection of all forms of interethnic resentments, as well as in the revival of the idea of the Reich.[audio:http://american3rdposition.com/wp-content/uploads/tom_sunic_22-09-2012.mp3|titles=Tom Sunic]
I must point out that some unpredictable historical deviations occurred during the period of the last decade of the previous century. In the early nineties of the last century communism collapsed in Eastern Europe because its ideas had already been better put into practice in the West — albeit under a different name. Many paleo-communist ideas, such as egalitarianism, the intellectual Gleichschaltung, as well as the belief in permanent economic progress in a putative multicultural system — all those ideas the early Bolsheviks and latter-day Marxist intellectuals had dreamed about — were better realized in the capitalist West. For that reason alone, it was to be expected that former Marxist intellectuals and politicians in Germany or the EU could easily convert to liberalism and the ideology of the free market.
A second historical deviation allows us now in hindsight to welcome some parts of the communist legacy. In Eastern Europe there are almost no non-European immigrants. Thanks to modest living conditions under communism, Eastern Europe had never exerted attraction on Third World immigrants, although the communist system had always longed for and also worked toward a multi-cultural system, and in addition, rejected any form of nationalism. However, Third World immigrants were not naïve, as they knew that they could have a better life in former colonial countries and former so-called fascist countries of the West. Life in Frankfurt on the Main was more enjoyable than life in Frankfurt on the Oder.
A third historical paradox needs to be mentioned here. Those of you, those of us who lived for a period of time in Third World countries know well what racial discrimination and social and cultural exclusions against the Other means. A mestizo in Mexico, or a Turk from eastern Turkey residing in Istanbul, knows very well which racial and cultural circle he belongs to in his homeland. A destitute Turk with Asian features has no place in the higher echelons of White upper-class Turkey, whose denizens are, as a rule, very proud of their European, i.e. White Albanian and Bosnian origins. A Mexican illegal immigrant, in his now newly discovered America, knows his rights by heart — rights he can only dream about in his native Mexico. Otherwise he would not have come to the so-called racist America in the first place. Now, residing in America, he can bet on legal support from left-wing intellectual circles. Germany and America offer immigrants from all parts of the Third World social opportunities that are usually foreclosed to them in their native countries.
Let's make a first quick summary: The course of history is always open. We should be careful with predictions about apocalyptic end times awaiting the European peoples. History is not pre-programmed and there are no last stops on the horizon. The lapse of historical time knows no boundaries and can easily destroy all walls of time — if I can use the title of a book by the German writer Ernst Jünger. Our present liberal wall of time may collapse any minute. Therefore, it is wrong to invoke horror scenarios and complain about the imminent extinction of the European peoples.
East and West Europe: What moves their peoples?
We have to make a clear distinction between the self-perceptions among Eastern European and Western European peoples respectively. What moves Western European and Eastern European peoples today? Which are their dominant myths? Thirty or forty years ago, the main topic among West European nationalists was not non-European immigration, but rather the subject of communism and how to defend themselves against the communist threat. The national question of various European nations, apart from low key riots in South Tyrol, Northern Ireland, or the Basque country, was not on the agenda. The perceived enemy of all West European nationalists, including their political establishments, was not the issue of non-European immigrants, but the issue of the communist commissar. Today the communist commissar is no longer an issue for Western European nationalists because the overriding issues is that all West European peoples, without exception, are exposed to a massive inflow of non-European immigrants. In retrospect, and in light of today's endless waves of non-European immigration, the question arises as to whether communism, after all, was really such a life threatening danger for the European peoples? Maybe under communism all Western European peoples would have secured their identity far better than under capitalism?
After all this was the case in Eastern Europe. National consciousness in Eastern Europe is today much more pronounced than in West European countries. This may be partly due to the erstwhile violent repression of their nationalist sentiments by the communist system which, as a rule, the ruling communist party always dubbed "the fascist danger."
Fear of the endless influx of non-European immigrants and the real or alleged subversion of their core nationhood now prompts many European nationalists to redefine notions such as "people," "national consciousness," or "national spirit." Back then it was common for all West European nationalists to define their national identity by vilifying nationalists from their neighboring European countries. Fortunately, this is no longer the case. Much more important today for all Western European nationalists and their representatives is the survival of their common bio-cultural uniqueness. Again we must point to another historical paradox here; namely, the larger the number of non-Europeans flocking to Europe, the less the chance of conflicts between once warring neighboring West European peoples. It is hardly possible to imagine the Flemings starting a war with the neighboring Walloons, or the Austrian government inciting the South Tyroleans into the secession from Italy.
By contrast, feelings of historical guilt or self-hatred, which can be daily observed in Western Europe and particularly in Germany, are unknown among East European peoples. National pride is still relatively strong and it determines to a large extent the national consciousness of all its citizens and all its politicians. The common folk in Croatia and Hungary, for instance, need not read academic papers on the dangers of multiculturalism, nor do they need to discuss the meaning of their nation's soul. Most of them know that they are White, European, and good Christians.
Despite many advantages in terms of their ethnic homogeneity, the situation between Eastern European peoples is not good. All Eastern European peoples show a high degree of "negative" or "reactive national consciousness," which always excludes the neighboring European Other. One should not underestimate interethnic and inter-European hatred among East European peoples as a source of new conflicts in the region. Although they have been spared so far the massive immigration of non-Europeans, internal interethnic resentments among East Europeans still run high.
Here are some examples of such "reactive" or "negative national consciousness" among the peoples of Eastern Europe, which are often difficult to grasp by nationalists in France or in distant America. Thus, the national consciousness of a Polish nationalist, who may otherwise agree on all issues with his colleague from Germany, such as their common criticism of globalism, anticommunism and anti-capitalism, is often rooted in his strong anti-German feelings. Furthermore, one third of ethnic Hungarians — more than 2 million people — live under the foreign jurisdiction of Slovakia, Serbia and Romania, and their national consciousness is often based on a close relationship with their kinsmen in Hungary. Despite an apparent peace treaty between Serbia and Croatia, their perceptions of each other, as well as their self-perceptions, are mutually irreconcilable. These two peoples share two completely different views of contemporary history, and display two mutually hostile victimhoods. In short, Serbs and Croats, despite their astonishing racial similarity, display two radically and mutually exclusive national consciousnesses. Often, for a Croat nationalist it is hard to define himself as "a good Croat" unless he first describes himself as a "good anti-Serb."
Who is to be blamed for such fatal and mutually hostile self-perceptions that are still alive among and between peoples of Eastern Europe? Modern historiography and modern court historians, as well as modern mediacricy share a large dose of responsibility for these negative perceptions of each other. Although East European peoples rid themselves of communism, the overall interpretation of their respective contemporary histories has not changed much since 1945. National myths and mutually negative and exclusive perceptions of each other are largely based on flawed historical memories dating back to the Second World War. Here is a glaring example:
The root causes of the break-up of the former communist Yugoslavia and the ensuing war in 1991 are to be traced to Yugoslav communist historiography, which had held out for decades the figure of 600,000 Serbs, Jews and Communists allegedly killed during World War II by the so called Nazi Croats. At the time of communist Yugoslavia, the verbiage of anti-fascism and the so-called Nazi-Croats were the two main symbols of paramount evil, but also symbols that constituted the two negative founding myths of communist Yugoslavia, i.e. the two "civil religions" that kept the communist state of Yugoslavia alive. In 1991, a historian and the future head of state, Franjo Tudjman came into revisionist limelight. In his earlier works of the late eighties, Tudjman had significantly reduced the number of Serbs, Jews and Communists killed in the Croatian Nazi-Ustashi camps — from 600,000 down to 60,000. The consequences of this new historical narrative in a new-born Croatia were soon to be known worldwide. The ethnic Serb minority in a crumbling Yugoslavia and a new-born Croatia went literally into panic attacks in the face of what they believed was as a resurgence of fascist Croatia. And then all hell broke loose.
One might draw a parallel with Germany. Supposedly the impact of the so-called Beneš decrees and the expulsion of 3.5 million Sudeten Germans from Czechoslovakia in 1945 were to be critically addressed by the European Commission in Brussels. One can guess that this would likely lead to serious tensions not just between Germany and the Czech Republic, but would also cause serious troubles all over Europe. In short, flawed, exaggerated, surreal, deceitful, or romantic historical narratives, especially those tinkering with WWII body counts, are the main culprits of the lingering mutual fear and interethnic hatred among East and Central European peoples.
A Forthcoming War in Europe
A likely war in Europe is not going to have clear cut demarcation lines between "good White Europeans" vs. "evil dark-colored non-Europeans," as many nationalists in Europe and the USA often anticipate. The pending war will demonstrate nasty features of combined class struggles, racial struggles and messy interethnic struggles within, between and amidst Europeans themselves. And yet, the aforementioned distorted and politically biased historical narratives must not be an excuse for Europe's age-old small time nationalisms. Petty nationalism, whether of the German, Croatian, American, English, or French extraction, has inflicted immense damage to all European peoples. Only in retrospect can wee see the disastrous legacy of the nation-state which has bequeathed upon us, in the span of the last two hundred years, murderous religious wars, ongoing territorial disputes, and false historical memories. Last, but not least, we must all raise an embarrassing question: What does it mean today to exclaim "I am proud of being a German, a Fleming, a French, or an American," considering that more than 10 percent of Germany's citizens, 15 percent of France's citizens and 30 percent of the U.S. population are of non-European descent?
Our main concern here should not be whether, or how much, or to what extent non-European immigrants residing in Germany, or in the EU can, or must be integrated. The fallacy and the danger of the multicultural system have already been well covered. Our prime goal is the reintegration of countless Germans back to their explicit Germanness; of countless Europeans back to their explicit European national awareness. Millions of Germans, or Croats, or Americans, or French, who vegetate as passing consumers, or as "Whites by default," unaware of their own history and their own destiny, are far more of a problem than the further influx of millions more immigrants from the Third World.
"To be a German is not only he who speaks German, or he who comes from Germany, or he who possesses German citizenship. The state and the language are natural foundations of a nation, although a nation acquires its historical characteristics only from the art how it determines the life of the people of the same blood in its spirit. To live with the awareness of one' nation means living within the awareness of its values. "(A. Moeller van den Bruck [1876 – 1925])
We often confuse the causes of non-European immigration with its effects. We hunt after a wrong scapegoat. Let us try to clarify it. Non-European immigrants are often depicted with the across the board noun "Muslims," or "Islamists"—as if there are only Muslim immigrants coming to Europe. The notion of the religion should not be equated with the notion of the people. In the Balkans, for instance there are well over 10 million Muslims of European stock, yet many of them are very White people with Nordic features. Should we kick these peoples out of Europe? On the other hand, even if the present four million German Turks were to convert to Christianity that would not make the slightest difference to me. Our sense of nationhood and my sense of being part of an historic people depends not only on my, or on our religious affiliations, but are also grounded in our peculiar sense of the tragic, our unique sense of history— and of course, in our distinct biology. In America there are 50 million mestizo Latinos who are very Catholic and who believe in Jesus Christ. But these peoples are not part of our people or our culture and neither do I expect from them any empathy for my kind, or my kinsmen and my destiny.
There is also a conceptual error some of our colleagues make. Anti-Islamism, similar to the ideology of anti-fascism, is today a relatively risk-free and legally acceptable intellectual adventure. Of course, this adventure is frequently fueled by elites in the government and in the media, as well as by neo-conservatives, especially in the United States. Incidentally, anti-Islamism can also serve as a handy cover for disguising one's own hatred of the multicultural system. Since it can be legally and professionally harmful to lambast non-White immigrants, let alone criticize out in the open European and American Jewry (e.g., for the support of multiculturalism), many Europeans and American nationalists hide their criticism of the multicultural system behind their criticism of Islam. Some prominent European nationalist figures recently went a step further: they began using strong anti-Islamic rhetoric, mixed with mandatory atonement trips to Israel—in a naive belief that they could henceforth better barter off a free ride for their criticism of multiculturalism.
Capitalism: The main enemy of the peoples of Europe
The blame for non-European immigration and the decomposition of the European peoples must not be solely borne by the immigrants. It is in the interest of the local capitalists to get a million-strong reserve army of cheap labor to Europe and to the U.S.; in turn, they can lower the wages of their domestic workers. Furthermore, non-European immigrants have little social consciousness, a weak sense of the trade union adherence and practically no sense for the European destiny. Therefore, they can be better manipulated by the local capitalists. One should consider therefore the globalists, the plutocrats and the financial "superclass" as the main enemy of the European peoples. A German stockbroker, or a Croatian or a Russian ex-communist speculator turned now into a capitalist shark, does not care where his nation is—as long as he can rake in big money.
We are all witnessing a reemergence of the silent holy alliance today—an alliance between the ex-Commissar and the Merchant, i.e. the marriage between the left-winger and big business. The European Left is in favor of mass immigration, given that the exotic picture of the non-European immigrant represents for it now the ersatz symbol of its long gone proletariat. For the capitalist, it is beneficial to bring people from the Third World into Europe, because they can best serve the interests of anonymous capital. The capitalist strives towards the removal of his people, because his people are too expensive for his business transactions. A leftist "antifa" wants to erase his people because it will always remind him of the rising "fascist beast."
But the Church also bears a heavy responsibility for the decomposing situation of the European nations, especially with its ecumenical parlance of "help thy neighbor." Americans, Europeans and White Christians are nowadays more concerned about the welfare of non-European peoples than the welfare of their own. A rich Qatari, or an oil sheik from Saudi Arabia could not care less are about the young unemployed and destitute masses in Moldova, or the working poor in France of Spain. He does not feel much inclined to help his own kind in Palestine in the first place, let alone give a thought to the suffering of the millions of the unemployed in Europe. The influential American Cardinal, Timothy Dolan, also known "as the American Pope" openly preaches in the American media the necessity of the open borders and openly advocates the protection of illegal immigrants in the USA. Therefore it is wrong to blame only stateless plutocrats, ethnic lobbies, or starry eyed leftists in their decomposition endeavors of the European peoples. Regarding the destructive equality doctrine by Christian savants, I' will not discuss it here. I'll refer you to my papers and books.
Conclusion: The End of the System
The mission of the nation-state in Europe has ended in serial disasters. The idea of a European Reich must be revived. It is not important how the idea of the Reich should manifest itself in the future and what statutory or legal forms it may assume. It can carry the name of the European confederation, or for that matter it can retain the name of the European Union. What counts though is not the form but the content of the new imperial (Reich) idea. The imperial idea excludes rabid nationalism and offers all European peoples a chance to hold on to their uniqueness, yet also meet their common duties. The Germanic Reich idea has nothing in common with the English "Empire," or the French "Empire". It should never be confused with those English or the French words respectively. (See Alain de Benoist's "The Idea of Empire.")
Centralism had always played a significant role in the development of the French imperial idea—which later gave birth to modern xenophobic nation-states and even worse, midwifed recently the strange centralistic structure, known as the EU. This was never the case with the idea of the Reich, in which supra-national and federal undercurrents had for centuries been the guiding principle of the ruling elites. The Reich means European ethnic plurality within a strong political unity. However, the imperial idea for the European peoples requires a new hierarchy of values, values which lie in sharp contrast to today's liberal values. In today's egalitarian, economistic system, where the rule of money is the only religion and where the sameness of all individuals and cultures runs full course, the idea of the empire is an oxymoron.
Yet the imperial Reich idea is also a logical response to a political threat. One thousand years ago, the idea of the empire was the only answer to the threat of the Huns, the Mongols and Turks. Back then in the 17th century had it not been for the European Prince Eugene of Savoy, had it not been for the idea of the empire, Dr. Sunic would be delivering a different sermon today and maybe his name would be Alia or Mohamed.
What's the point in living in a so-called independent Croatia, or Lithuania or in Germany if all Western states, without any exceptions, have no more sovereignty left, all being instead ruled by the American proconsuls, Euro-commissioners and anonymous banksters?
The good news, however, is that the system has been dead for quite some time. The experiments with abstract dogmas of multiculturalism, the belief in the economic progress amidst ethnically rootless people have failed. Events in both Europe and the U.S. show us daily that the liberal experiment is history. There is sufficient empirical evidence to prove that. It is a typical feature of the dying system to resort to pathetic words about "its infallibility," "its eternity," and to pontificate about "its truthfulness"—precisely at the moment when the system is falling apart. Such complacent wishful thinking we have experienced countless times in Western history. The bogus self-conception of today's ruling class in the EU about the "end of history" reminds me of the mindset of the political class in former Communist East Germany and the former communist Yugoslavia—just before their collapse. In the summer of 1989, there were still big marches in the GDR with all local communist bigwigs raving about the "indestructibility of communism." A few months later, the Berlin Wall fell down—and the communist system was dead. Today's ruling class in the West, or in the EU, is very weak, and it well aware of it, but cannot admit it openly. It does not know where it is headed. What should be of interest for all of us is the coming state of emergency and who will be the person to declare it. Once the state of emergency begins, our present political discourse will assume a different meaning. Then the plow may again turn into the sword. Thanks for you attention.[Dr. Tom Sunic (www.tomsunic.com) is a writer and the Board member of the American Third Position Party)]

Well, I've turned down every invite I've had to write for PuffHo, for I don't like their policy of exploiting writers by paying them nothing while the PuffHo drags in huge amounts of money.
But they made me an offer I can't refuse: they wanted to publish my "Rock and roll is dead" post. I said okay, on the condition that this is a one-time thing. I'm just curious what kind of reaction it will receive, but, more important, I wanted to see if it could draw fresh blood to this site (not that we need any!).
Anyway, the post is up, and for the nonce is on the front page. Go quickly, because it will soon disappear when we start bombing Syria. Granted, it's not the cover of Rolling Stone, but that'll do, pig; that'll do.
But it will always be in the entertainment section, right next to Miley Cyrus twerking.
The comments should be interesting.
And I promise not to do this again.

During deer hunting season I didn't see a single deer, but now that deer hunting season is over, I have seen two bucks. Due to a very harsh winter three years ago which resulted in death by starvation, an increase in the predator coyote population, and overhunting (the number of deer hunting permits is limited, but there are poachers), the deer population is down and sightings are rare. Unless hunters are incredibly lucky and just happen to see a deer when their rifles are handy, it takes some good scouting work to locate areas where deer have visited. This is usually done by taking long walks in the woods to look for deer signs: tracks (hoof prints), pellets (excrement), deer scrapes, and antler rubbings. From the website Foremost Hunting I found the following helpful information:
Deer "scrape" the ground with their hooves- – and at times will do so with their antlers. The scrapes will range from the size of a dinner plate to that of a child's portable swimming pool. Put money on the fact that if you find a swimming pool sized scrape, you've either got one huge trophy buck, or it's a "community scrape," where all the deer are together. That type of community scrape usually means younger, or immature bucks. A mature buck will normally stay to himself and scrape distinct areas to announce his presence and mark his territory.
Different types of scrapes mean different types of bucks. Young bucks go along, and they really don't know what they're doing. It's like a 16-year-old going out on his first date – -he has some instinctive idea of what he's supposed to be doing but doesn't really know the ball game. So young bucks go out and start marking territory everywhere. There's no rhyme or reason to their scraping. If they see a scrape from another buck, they'll scrape in the same area, and in the end the area will become a community scrape, of sorts. The young bucks will return to these areas to check out what's happening. They don't really recognize that they're marking the area.
On the other hand, a mature, dominant buck knows exactly what he's doing. They scrape, and they announce by their scrapes that they're marking their territory, telling other bucks to stay out of it.
Savvy hunters recognize what are called "scrape lines." Dominant, big bucks will move up and down and around their territory marking with scrapes anywhere from about every 30 to maybe a 100 yards. They scrape along a specific trail or "line" as it's called. These scrape lines will attract knowledgeable hunters who will set up along these lines, taking the wind into consideration (remember – -it's critical to always locate downwind from your quarry), and then the hunters wait for that big trophy to show up on his scrape line.
Very much like the scrape line is a rub line – which is done on trees or bushes. Bucks use these rubs in two instances. The first is when they rub off the velvet on their new set of antlers. Usually that's earlier in the year and smart hunters know that these rubs may not indicate territorial markings, but rather just the opportunity for the bucks to get the velvet off their antlers. Early in the year, rubs will mostly appear on small saplings or trees, and you can't tell much about the size of the deer or if there's any territorial rubbing going on. As the year moves on and the antlers harden, the bucks instinctively try to get the velvet off as quickly as they can. At that time, you can really begin to estimate the size of the deer that's rubbing. As the rut approaches, you can look at the diameter of the trees that the bucks are rubbing. The bigger or wider the tree, and the larger the antler marks, the bigger the buck. A little forkhorn will not rub against a huge pine tree. Deer will stick to a tree that befits their size. A big 10 or 12 pointer however with a heavy rack will hit on a big tree. That's what he's looking for. The real key is if you see a tree which has been rubbed – and it's big- – and the tree or trees directly behind the primary rubbed tree also have ancillary rubs from the same deer, then you pretty well know that you're on to something big. The buck was so large that as he wrapped himself around the big, primary tree he was rubbing, he not only hit that tree, but the ones behind it.
What a lot of hunters do is set up trail cameras along scrape and rub lines, which will photograph or take video of the bucks who are rubbing and scraping. The hunter will then be able to closely determine the actual size of the buck who is in the area.
While I don't hunt, learning about how to track animals truly enriches one's enjoyment of walks in the woods. About a month ago my husband and I were walking around the edges of our property, when we came across these antler rubbings. Had I not known what they were, I might have passed this tree without noticing anything special.
While most people have romantic notions of wildlife, animals such as beavers, deer and woodpeckers can cause tremendous damage and destruction to trees. While on the same walk, we found a tree with some freshly drilled woodpecker holes.

I feel like New Orleans is probably on everyone's bucket list. It was definitely one of the places that was high on my list of places to visit. Even when it's not Mardi Gras, there's still plenty to celebrate.

First step is to decide the optimum way to deliver to your audience/s. How best reach and engage them in their context? What are the delivery requirements to achieve your desired learning and communication outcomes?
In training, there are many software solutions for delivering e-learning, and one needs to be chosen that best suits your learners and your organisation's requirements.
The software solutions include desktop authoring packages, webpages on a Learning Management System or website (Content Management System, CMS). Each one of these impacts differently on options in terms of program design, and most importantly, the viewer's user and learning experience.
If you require course and student administration, then a Learning Management System (LMS) will do this. This system administers such items as grades, enrolments, participation levels, tutor activity, archiving courses, delivery schedules and so forth. We train your staff for ongoing management as required.
If your program is more open, such as a public campaign or an informal learning product, then it can sit in a website (CMS) and be administered by a web manager.
• Use your existing LMS.
• Implement an external LMS in-house.
• License an LMS from one of the many providers in the market.
• Use a simple Wordpress LMS that supports our content and delivery requirements.
With a commitment to your investment having a long shelf-life we deliver programs and digital media products that can be multi-purposed, timelessly.
Demonstrably a fore-runner in digital innovation. Since our video-based LMS in 2000 we continue to integrate emerging technologies.
View our 180 VR advocacy documentary for training NIGHT BECOMES DAY
The digital media can be multi-purposed over training, communication and marketing activities, and delivered face-to-face and online environments. One scenario program can tell many stories to multiple audiences and so deliver on multiple business requirements.
Currently we are producing a VR and 2D documentary "Night Becomes Day" for advocacy and training. Donations open on Documentary Australia Foundation website.
We collaborate with other entrepreneurs and designers in developing and integrating emerging technology solutions that are aligned with our model. Mobile Apps: 'Teazle' an e-learning app., (2016).

How to scrap your car
It is so simple to scrap a car in Crockhurst Street. Just by picking up the phone you will learn a lot about our service. Rather than giving us a phone call straight away please feel free to have a look at our helpful guide to see what the process is.
The car scrappage scheme
The car scrappage scheme may at first seem like a fantastic idea. But you can not get any car, you are infarct restricted as to what car you can buy. You can't go out and buy whatever car you want. This can prove to be very frustrating as you have to choose a car that is currently in the scrappage scheme.
Reasons to scrap your car
There are hundreds of reasons why you would want to scrap a car. In our experience the main reason is that the vehicle has failed its MOT and the required work to repair it is too expensive. Your car may not work but if it is on the road it still needs to be taxed, costing you a lot of money
Just call us on 0800 043 5100 or fill out the following form:

A diamonds in the rough looks like a piece of rock. If you don't expect it, you will treat it as a rock. Or a shard of glass
But if you are willing to go beyond the surface, you will be rich. Few people ever do that. Not with themselves, not with others, not with anything in the world.
Their shallow view of the world makes their life shallow, and they will go for every glitter, every shiny object. Because they are unwilling to go beyond the top layer, the visible layer.
This correction is about the question: will you believe your eyes? Will you believe the sales pitch? Will you believe the news? Will you believe your mind? Or will you believe that our reality is such, that reality is collective hunch at best. And that we have the power to create our own reality by not stopping at the obvious, but going beyond it.
We, the roughly seven billion people live our lives as if we had access to the reality, and it is what we see. We also think that we see it accurately…
Wrong view. And it hasn't been working out for us humans…
The reality that we see (what we see what is, that is… mostly we even see it with prejudice!!!) is the 1% of all that is, and even about that 1% we can't be sure.
How many times did it happen that you understood something one way, only to find out that your point of view was just one of many possible points of view, and your meaning wasn't what was meant?
I spent a day with someone this week, and the conversation went to his soul correction all the time.
For Soul correction you need you to see your own ego, turn around quickly enough to catch your shadow.
We all need another person to tell us. They can see our shadow side, our back, and they can help us make changes to serve our soul's correction and thus our soul's purpose.
Every time, instead of honest curiosity, this person protested, he resisted. After a few hours of what looked and felt to him that I was badgering him and telling him how bad and wrong he was, I realized that he had no intention to live consistently with his soul's correction, and from that point on we had conversations like two unenlightened people… very mundane, like talking about the weather.
The fact that he didn't see the value of being shown his shadow, is a Diamond in the rough aspect of his soul correction.
Had he used our time to map out what he needed to correct, he would have bought himself the potential of happiness, prosperity for the rest of his life.
But he didn't. Why?
This soul correction, Diamond in the Rough is the answer: what we need to correct is beyond our direct observation and therefore hard to catch, especially with an active, "self-protecting" ego.
What you can catch beyond the 1%, matters more than the surface, makes more difference, has more weight in how life feels, how life turns out for you, than the 1%.
The hidden aspects, your hidden agenda and intention, your hidden meaning, your hidden thoughts about you, the world, and the other are, by the way, what we explore in the Playground.
Your job, in this soul correction, is to dig deep. Dig up the skeletons, dig up the hidden hell of your mind. And never get satisfied with what you have done already: I still dig up layers that I didn't know about, and I've been doing it for 30 years!
In life: You are probably gullible, and not discerning. You don't do your research, you don't dig.
Your hidden attitude is that everything is about you. Your attitude that you need to be taken care of. Your attitude that it's enough what you are doing… no need to grow. Your self-importance, your self-protection, your uncaring nature. The secret hatred, or envy, or greed you possess.
Dig it up, look at it, and then transform it to sweet smelling stuff.
Your life, your relationships, your health, your happiness will be the exact reflections of the depth of your thinking, the depth of your consciousness. The deeper you dig, the better life will become.
You, currently, probably stop at the surface, and your job is to go beyond.
If you are willing, you will immediately start seeing results.
The question is: are you willing to get your hands dirty to dig up the diamonds?
For other soul corrections, visit this page. If you want to know your own soul correction (great guidance!) follow the instructions on that page.

Emily Lakdawalla • January 21, 2014
I have a really fun video to share. About two months ago, as LADEE was in its commissioning orbit at the Moon, I participated in an online chat with some members of the Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration team. This is an experiment on LADEE that was designed to test a new method of deep-space communication. Instead of radio waves, laser communication employs the rapidly flashing light of a laser beam to transmit information. It's capable of much higher data rates than radio. But the reason that laser communication is able to do this -- the tight focus of a laser beam, making it spread very little as it crosses interplanetary distances -- also makes it technically challenging, because the aim of the laser transmitter has to be perfect.
To demonstrate the laser communication, LLCD's principal investigator, Don Boroson, invited The Planetary Society to have a video conversation be sent to the Moon and back through the laser link. Actually, a conversation wasn't quite workable. The signal had to go from the team's headquarters in Massachusetts, to the transmitter in New Mexico, up to the Moon, be received by LADEE, retransmitted to Earth, received on Earth, processed, and sent from New Mexico back to Massachusetts; all these steps added up to about 7 seconds of delay. (The one-way light-time delay between Earth and the Moon is about 1.3 seconds.) So instead of trying a conversation over the Moon, we had a normal conversation between webcams on Earth, but then they established a lunar link (so you can see the 7-second delay in action), and then they played a canned video, recorded by Bill Nye, over the lunar link, to the Moon and back. And it was crystal clear HD video. Which was awesome.
In this video, you'll see me (based in Pasadena), Don Boroson (located with the LLCD team at MIT's Lincoln Laboratories), and LADEE mission manager Don Cornwell (located at Goddard Spaceflight Center). You'll also see Bill, in a pre-recorded video. And you'll learn a thing or two about lunar laser communication. I hope you enjoy it!
At one part of the video, the screen is split into three. These are three Webcams located in the LLCD operations center at MIT. The right-hand camera is on Don Boroson. Then there are two other Webcams located in the back of the room, which you may be able to see over Don's shoulder. Those are pointed at a different part of the room. One of these webcams is shunted straight into the video, and is labeled "Live." The other webcam's signal is sent over the lunar link and then into the video, and you can see that it has a 7-second delay. Bill's video gets played over the same link.

Marktkirche Hannover (D)
Photos: Thomas Deutschmann
Chairs: S 162 SPF
The Evangelical-Lutheran Marktkirche St. Georgii et Jacobi is one of Hannover's landmarks, and now it has been furnished with 262 chairs from Thonet's program S 162 with seat upholstery and armrests. In the church hall and the northern and side aisles of the 14th century church the classically simple, comfortable chairs replace the folding chairs that had been in use. The chair collection S 162 designed by Delphin Design is formally beautiful, comfortable and ideally suitable for all kinds of venues since the chairs can be stacked and arranged in a space-saving way. The refurnishing was also sponsored by chair sponsorships through patrons, which the board of the church promoted with a postcard campaign.
