Cartoonist issues terrible apology after comparing Harper government to Nazis
Wednesday's edition of The Advocate newspaper in Pictou, N.S., featured a rather unsubtle editorial cartoon criticizing the Conservative government. It depicted a Nazi swastika flag flying over Parliament Hill in Ottawa, captioned "Harper's Economic Action Plan."
Although it's not clear how Stephen Harper's economic policies relate to Adolf Hitler's, the cartoon still hit a nerve with readers.
"We sent brave men and women to Europe as many innocent people died to stop what the Nazis were doing," Tyler Cameron told The News. "To make a comparison regardless of whether you're a Conservative, Liberal, NDP or otherwise, is just wrong. It's hurtful, hateful and turns people away from politics in general."
Pictou Advocate editor Jackie Jardine did not pick up her phone when called for comment Thursday, but the paper published an "explanation" later in the day that basically doubled down on the offensive comparison.
"I certainly didn't mean to offend anybody," the unnamed cartoonist said in a statement. "The use of the swastika was simply aligning the Harper government's policies with the Nazis."
Um, that was the part people objected to.
Here's the full note, as published on the Pictou Advocate website:
If our editorial cartoon in the March 5 edition of The Advocate has offended anyone, we sincerely apologize. It was certainly not our intention to offend our readers.
The cartoon was simply meant as a satire, or exaggeration, on Harper's Economic Action Plan and its implications for some segments of the community.
We regret that the cartoon was not received in the spirit with which it was intended.
The views of the editorial cartoon are those of the contributor, and not necessarily the views of The Advocate, as are all other views by contributors to The Advocate.
From our editorial cartoonist is the following explanation:
"I certainly didn't mean to offend anybody. The use of the swastika was simply aligning the Harper government's policies with the Nazis. The fact is, Harper has violated virtually every element of his platform which is taking away the freedoms and rights of all Canadians, especially the disabled and elderly. All Canadians, but especially the Atlantic Provinces, should be absolutely irate over the latest budget and announcements which are continuing to oppress the poorer provinces. That is why I used the swastika. There are no religious connotations, there is no anti-Semitism, there are no ethnic attacks, there is no racism… Just the suggestion that Canadian politics is heading toward fascism."

Today, there's certainly no shortage of business conferences, learning workshops and startup incubators. In fact, inspiration for budding entrepreneurs seems to be at every corner. But while some are motivational, there are very few that stand out, break the mold or champion more meaningful goals than their bottom line.
The Happy Startup School is an exception. They are the uncommon startup school that helps people bring their ideas to life. What makes them different is their focus on happy.
We had the opportunity to talk to their Co-founder Laurence McCahill last week, and our conversation left us with an inspiration buzz (stronger than from that 10% IPA we had on Sunday)! His outlook on happiness and success, love for the great outdoors and passion for the people he has the opportunity to meet and learn from are absolutely inspiring, and a business mindset that every brand can learn from.
Putting purpose before profit
The purpose of HSS is to help people redefine how they look at life and work. They take people on an immersive journey and drill deep into their innate desire to start something. You won't find a cookie-cutter formula or leave with a formulaic business model—but rather, you'll walk away with an understanding of the driving force behind what it is you want to do.
Their programs help people view the world through a different lens and connect with others who are on that same journey. The result has been a global grassroots movement of likeminded people who believe in their ethos and want to make a positive dent in the world.
Asking the right questions
It's amazing how asking "Why?" and the conversation that follows always lead to a deeper discussion around the subject. HSS asks people difficult questions and gets them to have the conversations that matter. Questions like: Why this idea? Why you? Does it keep you up at night? How do you want to work (and why)? Would you want to do this for the next 10 years, forgetting the money? Forget the exit strategy, what's your legacy strategy? What will you never do?
Laurence explains: "'Why you?' tends to be the most difficult question, because people focus on the business, not why they're starting it. They fall into the common trap of obsessing about what moves the market, not what moves them."
Tapping into their own personal story is essential if they want to build an authentic brand and a sustainable company. That spark is what HSS seeks to identify in each and every founder they work with. It's a "tough love" approach that helps people question and think through their own ideas. As Laurence points out, "The first idea usually isn't the one that works." They get people thinking beyond just making money and onto other factors of success—like blind spots they aren't aware of. "We try to help them to understand it's a lonely road," Laurence says, "if they aren't equipped with the right tools."
Keeping it real
They take a slower approach than most traditional startup incubators. Sometimes it can take years—but the results are easy to see.
Growing a community of forward-thinkers, outdoors
While HSS offers a number of retreats apart from the school, their Summercamp is by far the most renowned event they put on.
"It's been growing on the quiet" Laurence explains. The camp started 5 years ago in September and is a celebration—an event designed to connect people that want to do business differently and get them away for their devices to learn from others. And, more than anything, it's a celebration of people in the community and their stories—some even call it their annual AGM on a farm. "The amount of emotion as people leave highlights the power of this community." Laurence notes "This is where true friendships are formed, not business contacts."
No one is a hero
Summercamp brings together a hand-picked group of 150 people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences from all over the world. The camp runs for 3 days, and while it's curated, it does allow time for fun experiences and deeper relationships. Specifically, it encourages conversations over dinner by ridding the event of any hierarchy or cliques—no speakers' dinner here.
As a bold mix of budding entrepreneurs, early startup founders (some with ideas in their pockets), founders of successful startups and seasoned executives hoping to reignite their passion, the camp is a place to be inspired by new people and new ideas. The things that bind people together are their shared values and burning curiosity. People come to learn, open-up and be vulnerable. Very few people come thinking they know it all.
Recognizing the power of environment
Unlike so many events that Laurence (and most of us have) attended, which tend to be in windowless dark buildings with poor coffee and transit, The Happy Startup Summercamp is held completely outdoors. Inspired by camping, hiking, and festivals, the event is designed to be rich and meaningful. As Laurence notes, "You have a great experience, and the results are more successful." The value supersedes any other event people have attended, because the setting is conducive to it. People unite. People can and do act silly. People let their guard down and share more. The outdoors accelerates the process.
Uncommon Sense Defined
HSS follows the principles of doing things differently and challenging convention—being true to what you believe in. As Laurence pointed out, this principle is often hard in business because of trends, conventions and norms, but he's a firm believer that if things are going one way, go the opposite. Be ahead of the curve. When we do what feels right it is right.
Recommended by top media giants like WIRED, The Guardian, Huffington Post and others, The Happy Startup School has empowered thousands of budding entrepreneurs, founders and leaders through their programs and designed experiences that set people on a happier path with the support of mentors, teachers and friends.

Digging foxholes and wading through marshes was dirty work too. I look back at this previous incarnation with nostalgia as I board a crowded train in which tickets were sold(…)

A much anticipated white truffle dinner,
the second of its kind, was held last month at the Cracked Conch in West Bay.More than 80 diners indulged in the annual
sumptuous seven-course truffle dinner which featured wines from Beni Di
Batasiolo in Piedmont in northern Italy.
Executive chef Gilbert Cavallaro built each
course around the expensive and rare white truffles, flown in fresh from Italy.
The restaurant had been in talks with the
organisers, Blackbeard's, for nearly eight months to arrange the dinner and the
first tastings and pairings of the wines began back in July with Jodie Petts
from Blackbeard's working with Chef Gilbert, sous chef Joshua Hull and Cracked
Conch general manager Matthew Moore to create the decadent dinner at the
seafront restaurant on Thursday evening, 28 October.
"It is very important for us to get the
pairings correct, but to also be inventive with the truffle dishes, without
losing some of the tradition. Gilbert has done a fantastic job this year and I
am very excited about tonight's dinner," said Ms Petts as she and the rest of
the guests prepared to partake in what was, quite literally, a feast.
Before the meal, as guests mingled over
drinks, they enjoyed foie gras crostini with lemon confit and, of course, white
truffle. This was accompanied by a welcoming glass of sparkling Batasiolo
Metodo Classico, Brut Millesime, 2005.
After a speech by Beni Di Batasiolo owner
and truffle farmer Fiorenzo Dogliani, who explained the origins of the wines
and the truffles, diners tucked into seared scallops with shaved white truffle
and a pumpkin puree. After all, Halloween was just a few days away! This was served
with a Batasiolo Gavi di Granee DOCG, 2009.
Next came a tasty tuna tartar in white
truffle broth, accompanied by a Batasiolo Barbaresco DOCG, 2006, made from the
famed Nebbiolo grape.
For the next course, the duck confit with
fresh papardelle pasta, white truffle and Parmesan cheese went wonderfully with
a Batasiolo Barolo Cerequio Vineyard, 2005.
This was followed by a tender rack of lamb
with bean ragout, white truffle and coffee, accompanied by a Barolo DOCG
Riserva, 2004.
Just when we thought we could not eat
another bite, out came the next irrestable dish – grilled strip loin with
shaved white truffle, seared foie gras, short rib ravioli and wild mushrooms,
served with a velvety Batasiolo Barolo Briccolina, 2004.
And then the dessert – that, in reality,
was three desserts – arrived, and only those with the strongest resolve could
resist the chocolate, praline and white truffle mousse; mango and white truffle
ice cream; and key lime and white truffle smoothie, each of which had been
flavoured with white truffle. They were accompanied by a sweet Batasiolo
Moscato Passito, Muscatel Tardi DOC, 2006.
Truffles have been enjoyed by the fortunate
few for almost 3,000 years. The ancient Sumerians, Greeks and Romans knew of
this culinary treasure and Pope Gregory IV boosted his mettle with a meal of
truffles before battling the Saracens. In the Middle Ages, the truffle, or
tartufo as it is called in Italy, was known as witches' fare. At the royal
court of Turin in the 1700s, truffle hunts were organised to honour visiting
dignitaries. Lord Byron kept the precious fungus on his desk to stimulate the
In the ancient Italian towns of Alba and
the truffle-producing region of Piedmont, many local organisations proudly
safeguard the quality and traditional lore of the truffle. The traveller lucky
or wise enough to visit in season has many chances to taste tartufo at the
source and enjoy the pageantry of the local truffle festivals.
and wine
Wines of the region are among some of the best
in Italy. Affectionately known as the King and Queen of wine, the Barolo and
Barbaresco are wonderful examples of the terroir (land) and the traditional
elegance of the Piedmont area.
The original Chiola Winery was founded in
the '50s by the Batasiolo family. It consisted of seven "beni" farmhouses
within a vineyard. Mama and Papa and their eight children worked in the
vineyards. The Dogliani brothers bought the vineyard and winery in 1978, adding
two more "beni" to the property and renaming the winery in honour of the

A Bird's Eye View
It's that time of year again. Or rather, it was, as of the weekend just past. The time for the RSPB's 'Big Garden Birdwatch' https://www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch/. I do it every year and the same thing happens every time. First, the weather is invariably terrible. It can be sunny, calm, mild right up until the day – then what happens? The rain comes, the wind increases, the cold intensifies. The windows stream with water on the outside and steam up on the inside. If there was a bird the size of an albatross out there, you'd never see it. But not to worry, because there isn't a bird to be seen. Not one. Anywhere. Well what would you do, if you were a bird? That's right, the same thing as every self-respecting bird living in my garden does. Run, or rather fly, for cover.
And it's not as if they aren't out there. Most days you can expect to see blue, great and coal tits, green and goldfinches, chaffinches, jackdaws, hooded crows, collared doves, dunnocks, robins, thrushes, blackbirds, wrens, rooks… If you've the time to sit quietly for a while, depending on the time of year you could add long-tailed tits, goldcrests, bullfinches, siskins, redpolls, chiff-chaffs, willow warblers, treecreepers, swallows, house martins and blackcaps to the list. Not to mention the herons, various ducks, swans, cormorants, buzzards and ravens that fly overhead, or the grasshopper warblers that reel away for hours in the twilight – though you're not allowed to put these on the 'Big Garden Birdwatch' list, because for that you only count birds you see actually in your garden at any one time. I've even had a sparrowhawk make a brief appearance once or twice. And don't even get me started on the starlings and house sparrows, both in national decline to a worrying degree, but not in my garden. Flocks of forty at a time aren't uncommon. Rather proud of them, I am.
But do I ever get the chance to put them down on the BG Birdwatch form? No, I do not. I'm convinced they know. They know when the BGB comes round. They know I'm there, with my paper and pencil, binoculars at the ready. And they hide. Even on the rare occasions when the weather co-operates, the birds don't. Take the sparrows. I know where they are. I can hear them. They're in the hedge, tittering. Don't believe birds can titter? Think again. These sparrows can. And it's no good creeping up carefully, thinking you'll count them as they sit in the hedge. They can hide behind tiny twigs – even the very fattest sparrow can do this. It's like shape-shifting. Then you make one incautious move and whoosh! The whole lot break from cover and disappear behind the hedge into next door's garden if you don't mind – tittering as they go. (I don't, though, have the Telephone Bird as described by Paul Jennings. To read more about this, and many more birds otherwise unknown to science, try his 'The Birds That Never Wert', to be found in the anthology 'The Jenguin Pennings'. It's not just very clever, but hilariously laugh-out-loud funny on every page. Do not read in public if you're self-conscious!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Jennings_(British_author)
Now you may be wondering what, if anything, this has to do with The North Beyond. Well, actually, more than you might think. I certainly wouldn't call myself an ornithologist of even modest accomplishment, in fact I'm not really even a proper birdwatcher. But I love to see birds going about their lives, to notice the seasonal ebb and flow of migration, to hear the other-worldly sound of swan-wings overhead or the sweetness of blackbird song in a cold spring sunset. And I find it heartbreaking to know how rapidly the numbers of even once-common birds are declining. Are we really facing silent, empty skies? Will we let this happen, even though we know we can do something to prevent it?
It was early in September when I began writing The North Beyond. If I paused for thought and glanced outside, the chances were that the three birds I'd notice first would be a robin, a dunnock and (probably several) collared doves. But even as I wrote, there was something I could hear, because close by, at the top of a hedge, was a robin's singing perch. The robin, a strongly territorial bird, is one of the few that sings all year round and as other birdsong fades away in autumn, its voice becomes particularly noticeable. Probably the most famous reference to this in English literature is in Keats's 'To Autumn': '…and now with treble soft The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft' – see http://www.bartleby.com/126/47.html for the text of the whole poem.
It's true what you often hear, that some stories seem to write themselves. Sure enough, before I knew it there was a robin in the story: a robin that sang in the courtyard of Tellgard, a robin Arval listened out for, '…plaintive and wistful, the voice of the dying year singing on into winter when all else was silent' (The North Beyond, Part 1 page 145), a robin he tempted to his windowsill with a jar of crumbs. Once Arval's robin had established his presence, he began to pop up time and again. Of course, it wasn't the same robin: as Arval himself reflected, 'Strange how easy it was to persuade oneself that it was always the same robin, even though one knew quite well that the little birds lived barely a season or two' (Part 2 page 255). Nor was my robin the same bird. It took me four years to finish The North Beyond and I've often wondered how many different robins sang outside as I wrote. (And there's another Keats connection here, but this time with a different bird. Try 'Ode to a Nightingale': 'Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! No hungry generations tread thee down; The voice I hear this passing night was heard In ancient days…') See http://www.bartleby.com/126/40.html for the whole poem.
But as the book became longer and the story wound on, the robin became a sort of leitmotiv woven into the narrative. There's the robin that perches briefly outside the window as Maesrhon is born and the little wooden carving that he made as a boy. It was one of his three favourite birds, the others being the dunnock and the collared dove – you'll recognise these as two other residents of my garden that flew into the story. 'Maesrhon had sat hidden until (the dunnock) was close by him and he had seen its neat shape and the fine grading of brown and grey in its plumage. To him, it had a quiet elegance, a quality he saw also in the doves: he loved the pink shading in the grey of their feathers, the unexpected garnet of their jewel-like eyes' (Part 2 page 10). Like Arval, he loved the robin's song, but heard an undertone in it that disquieted the old man: 'I often think, if the world were to end, if men were no more, still the robin's voice would ring out unheeding' (Part 2 page 269). Best not to say a lot about the little carved robin because it would give too much of the story away – except this, Maeshron speaking: 'It was flawed, but my heart went into its making' (Part 2 page 196). And what about the bird that caught the attention of disappointed, lonely Astell, lorekeeper of the Nine Dales, and brought warmth into his solitary life? 'Look how spruce and red his feathers are. It won't be long now before it is time for nesting once again' (Part 3 page 171). In Rihannad Ennar they had a special name for the robin, '…where, though it was a bird that sang throughout the year, (the robin) was often known as the winter-warbler' (Part 4 pages 361-2).
Where one robin flew, in from a garden to the pages of a book via its author's imagination, others followed. '…wading birds ran to and fro or wheeled above, twisting and turning with flashing wings…and white birds of the ocean…swept by…They cried to him of secret, lonely places, of wide grey waves surging far from land' (Part 4 pages 181-2). And of course, many more. Because birds are not simply beautiful, interesting, intriguing: they're a vital component, an essential ingredient, a stark indicator of how this world is faring. This world, their world, our world. Knock out the birds, and what happens? It's like a house of cards: remove one, and the whole edifice collapses. This whole world could be, should be, a numiras. (If you've read The North Beyond, you'll understand. If you haven't, why not give it a try?) Make it happen!

Jumping the shark once again, Jim Hoft the proprietor of GatewayPundit has gone the extra mile for conservative fear by repeating an error in a public website that Robert Lewis Dear was a transgender person based on his voting card. Ted Cruz candidate for the GOP presidential nomination reiterated this falsehood just yesterday on a Sunday talk show. We, Ourselves, of The Collective have no idea why these people would do this other thaqn profit and this is a cause for alarm for all Progressives. Donald Trump has been rewriting history to his own ends regarding 9/11 so it appears that conservatives have no problem picking their own facts with current events. Dear has made comments to law enforcement claiming his attack on the Planned Parenthood office in Colorado Springs was because of "baby parts" and that he regularly distributed anti-government and anti-Obama literature. This does not bear out with the meme of a "far let liberal" that Cruz and Hoft have professed.

Jewish children's WW1 stories go online
Discovered in the archives of the Liberal Jewish Synagogue (LJS) in St John's Wood, London, the bound volumes contain a variety of stories, essays, poems and drawings created by young people who attended the synagogue's religious school between 1915 and 1916.
As well as offering a rare insight into the thoughts and feelings of children growing up during the period, the writings also contain reflections on 'what it is to be Jewish' and the effects of wartime propaganda.
Following conservation work, both books have now been digitised and made available online as part of the We Were There Too project, which examines the lives of London's Jewish population during the First World War.

Demand for Jamaat ban logical: Dipu Moni
Terming the demand for banning Jamaat-e-Islami's politics as logical, Foreign Minister Dipu Moni said on Thursday that the government was examining everything related with the issue. "The Shahbagh movement has spread all over the country. Besides demanding capital punishment for the war criminals, people across the country have demanded banning religion-based politics, especially the politics of Jamaat-Shibir," the minister told reporters after paying tribute to the Language Movement heroes at Chandpur Shaheed Minar. Saying that the demand is "definitely logical", Dipu Moni said the 1972 constitution of the country banned politics by these elements, reports our Chandppur correspondent. By rehabilitating the war criminals and securing them place at the top of political power, BNP founder Ziaur Rahman and later one Khaleda Zia betrayed with the blood of the 3 million martyrs of Liberation War, she alleged. "So, we pay respect to the demand the nation has raised. The Election Commission and the government will do the imperatives in this regard." Replying to a query, Dipu Moni denied that there was international pressure against awarding capital punishment to the war criminals and banning Jamaat- Shibir politics. It is out of question that any foreign quarter would intervene in Bangladesh's internal issues, the foreign minister said.
Bangladesh: Act before March 26
http://www.thedailystar.netIssuing an ultimatum to the government to bring war crimes charges against Jamaat-e-Islami and initiate the legal process by March 26 to ban the party, the Shahbagh protesters yesterday announced a series of countrywide programmes beginning today. The declaration came at a mammoth rally in the capital's Shahbagh in the evening. The rally wound up the nonstop sit-in that began at the intersection on February 5 demanding capital punishment to all the war criminals. Late at night, Imran H Sarker, a key organiser of the movement, said, "I announce the end of the rally. I request you to go home and we will see you at 10:00am tomorrow [today]." However, many people were still at the venue around midnight. As part of the countrywide programmes, special prayers will be held at mosques after Juma prayers as well as at churches, pagodas and temples today. Organisers told The Daily Star although the protesters would not keep the Shahbagh intersection occupied for 24 hours from today, they will gather at the venue the day before the war crimes tribunal is to deliver a verdict. The aim of this gathering is to resist any possible violence by Jamaat-Shibir. Yesterday, the 17th day of the protest which coincided with the Amar Ekushey, all eyes were on the "Gonojagoron Mancha" as the movement held its third grand rally. Hundreds of thousands thronged the Shahbagh intersection, now known as Projonmo Chattar, to join the rally while million others were glued to the TV at home and abroad. The programmes announced at the rally include holding more grand rallies, demonstrations and cultural programmes at different parts in Dhaka and other divisional cities. The protesters, who have all along maintained calm and showed respect for all religious beliefs, began yesterday's programme with the recitation of verses from the Holy Scriptures of the four major religions in the country -- the Quran, Gita, Bible and Tripitaka. After the recitations, thousands of people, irrespective of faith, age, profession and ethnicity, stood as one and sang the national anthem. The rendition of the national anthem and the recitations from the Scriptures showed, once again, that "religion is personal, but the state is for all". Giving the ultimatum and announcing the programmes, Imran Sarker, said: "We want to clearly state that this Gonojagoron Mancha is firm in its demand for justice for war crimes. We hold nothing against any religion. Rather, our struggle is to end the ill politics of Jamaat-Shibir that exploits religion for political gain." "With a view to banning politics of Jamaat-Shibir, bring war crimes charges against Jamaat-e-Islami under the amended law [The International Crimes (Tribunals) Act, 1973] and start the legal process by March 26," he added. The spirited protesters, their mood one of unyielding determination, burst into thunderous cheers as he spoke. People of from all walks of life, mostly dressed in black and imbued with the spirit of the 1952 Language Movement and the 1971 Liberation War, flocked to the Shahbagh intersection to express their solidarity with the protesters. They chanted fiery slogans throughout the day, demanding capital punishment to all the war criminals. Protesters carried national flags, banners and placards that read: "Death to Razakars" or "Death to war criminals." Many joined the protest directly from the Shaheed Minar. The crowd stretched from Matsya Bhaban in the east to Kataban intersection in the west and from Hotel Ruposhi Bangla intersection in the north to TSC in the south. Protesters took to the streets in the afternoon of February 5, hours after Jamaat assistant secretary general Abdul Quader Mollah was sentenced to life in prison for war crimes in 1971. Protesters say a life term is too lenient a punishment for Mollah, known as the "Butcher of Mirpur" for his notorious role in the killing of hundreds during the war. A group of youths, mostly bloggers and online activists, initiated the movement but it soon turned into a people's movement, spreading across the country. A mass signature campaign will also begin today and continue till March 7 in and outside the country to register people's solidarity with the six-point demand. "In our veins runs the blood of Shurjoshen and Khudiram. I am here driven by their ideologies," said Tariq Ali, one of the trustees of the Liberation War Museum. Jahangirnagar University Vice-chancellor Anwar Hossain, Communist Party of Bangladesh President Mujahidul Islam Selim, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal leader Shirin Akhter, cultural personalities Nasiruddin Yousuff Bachchu, Mamunur Rashid, Sara Zaker, Asaduzzaman Noor, Rokeya Prachi, Ferdousi Majumdar, Ramendra Majumdar, Tropa Majumdar, and journalist Abed Khan, among others, joined the grand rally. Although attempts were made to co-opt the movement by certain political quarters, the protesters refused to allow any party to do so. The stage, said the organisers, belonged to the ordinary citizens, activists and bloggers. As the mass protests continued, grief descended upon Shahbagh as one of their key organisers, Rajib Haidar, was hacked to death on February 14, allegedly by Jamaat-Shibir men. Another protester, Tariqul Islam Shanto, died of a heart attack while taking part in the on February 18. As the movement gained momentum and spread across the country, Jamaat-Shibir resorted to a smear campaign against the movement, with the help of a few radical Islamist groups in and outside the BNP-led 18-party alliance and media houses. Terming Projonmo Chattar anti-Islamic, the anti-liberation forces tried to stir controversy and confusion among the general public. The demonstrators, however, strongly rejected such allegations and the general public, too, dismissed them as fictitious.
US Plans Mini-Force in Post-2014 Afghanistan
The United States envisions only a minimal presence of American troops in Afghanistan once the NATO mission comes to an end in late 2014. SPIEGEL ONLINE has learned that fewer than 10,000 US soldiers are to remain stationed in the country beyond that date. Douglas Lute, special assistant to the US president on Pakistan and Afghanistan, informed NATO ambassadors of the plan at alliance headquarters in Brussels in the second week of February. He said that only half of the units stationed in Afghanistan beyond 2014 will be made available for training Afghan troops. Lute's confidential briefing was the first official confirmation that the US foresees an extremely limited presence in the country going forward. And the numbers presented by Lute have alarmed the alliance. Though the post-mission support and training mission in Afghanistan -- to be carried out by NATO in conjunction with eight non-alliance countries -- has been under development for months, the extremely limited number of US troops available puts the alliance in a bind. The aim of the mission -- now called Resolute Support after a pair of name changes -- is to ensure that the Afghan army, built up with great effort in recent years, doesn't immediately fall apart once the NATO mission, known as the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), concludes. But Lute's presentation made it clear that US President Barack Obama is determined to radically shrink the American presence in Afghanistan following 2014. In his State of the Union address this month, Obama publicized his intention to bring home half of the 60,000 US troops currently stationed in Afghanistan by the end of this year. The details of Washington's post-2014 plans were not known until Lute's briefing. Weeks prior, the US media had written of a "minimal option" calling for fewer than 10,000 soldiers to remain in the country, but the US government had made no official comment. Whether the topic is up for discussion at the meeting of NATO defense ministers this Thursday and Friday in Brussels is unclear. Because Chuck Hagel has not yet been confirmed by the Senate, outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta traveled to Europe in his stead. Raising the Bar for Germany and NATO Presidential aid Lute left no doubt during his meeting with NATO ambassadors that Washington seeks to bring the unpopular mission to a rapid conclusion. As of this spring, all combat operations are to be led by Afghan military and security personnel while ISAF forces are to shift into a supporting role. Only by taking that step now, the US has told its European partners, can a withdrawal by the end of 2014 be achievable. The strategy is not without risk. Such a rapid shift of responsibility could overwhelm the Afghan military, Lute acknowledged during his visit to Brussels. Washington's mini-force raises the bar for Germany and other NATO member states. Lute said that the US expects that the German military will retain responsibility for Regional Command North and direct military training operations there beyond 2014. The US, he said, would coordinate training and support operations in the south and east. Italy is to continue its responsibility for the west. But the US envisions a division of its forces. Only 5,000 of the 10,000 American troops foreseen by the plan are to be made available for the training mission. The other half will be earmarked for targeted operations against terror cells and al-Qaida camps as well as for the protection of US facilities in the country such as the embassy in Kabul. In total, the post-2014 training mission is to encompass 15,000 troops. The US expects its NATO partners to plug any gaps that might result due to its limited presence. For Germany, the number is likely to remain large even after 2014, primarily due to the operation of the large camp in Mazar-e-Sharif. Cause for Concern Lute's comments regarding Washington's future troop numbers weren't the only part of his presentation that gave his European allies pause. While the US is prepared to continue offering air support after 2014, tactical capabilities such as the helicopter evacuation of the wounded are to be discontinued. That is cause for concern. Almost all countries present in Afghanistan, including Germany, are dependent on American Medevac aircraft. The German military was only able to set up a functioning system for the evacuation and treatment of wounded fighters in the north with the help of the US. American medics were able to several times save the lives of German soldiers. Even if the post-2014 mission is to exclude combat operations, a functioning system to treat the wounded is indispensable. Despite Lute's outline of US plans, the German government still hopes that details can be revised, noting that the final numbers have not yet been approved by Obama. But in his recent State of the Union address, the president made clear that "the nature of our commitment will change." Military strategists in Berlin now know what he meant. The US will keep their future presence in Afghanistan as small as possible.
Gwadar port
The day after Pakistan awarded the management contract for Gwadar Port to state owned China Overseas Port Holdings Limited it prompted the Chinese Foreign Ministry to issue the following statement: "transfer of managing rights is a business project that falls under trade and economic co-ordination conducted between China and Pakistan...and boosting China-Pakistan co-operation is not only in the interests of both countries but also conducive to maintaining regional stability and development." A short history of the port is in order. Gwadar port project, like other projects whose construction would considerably fuel economic activity in Pakistan, remained hostage to federal-provincial disharmony over control and distribution of revenue. It was originally identified as a site in 1954 when Gwadar was still an Omani enclave. Pakistan became interested in the site after a survey along its coastline carried out by United States Geological Survey concluded that it is suitable for a deep sea port. After four years of negotiations Oman finally agreed to sell it to the government of Pakistan at a cost of 3 million dollars. A small port was constructed by the Pakistan government by 1992 at a cost of 1.6 million rupees that included a foreign exchange component of 1.4 million Belgian francs. Technical and financial feasibility studies for a major deep-sea port at Gwadar were initiated in 1993 and a UK company in association with a Pakistan company was engaged for the purpose. The contract of the port was awarded to a Chinese firm and construction commenced in 2002. Phase-I was completed in December 2006 at a cost of 248 million dollars and included 3 multipurpose berths, approach channel, turning basin and related infrastructure and handling equipment. And Phase-II began in 2007 at a cost of 932 million dollars and included 4 container berths, one bulk cargo terminal, one grain terminal, two oil terminals and approach channel. The same year, in 2007 the government awarded the management contract to Port Singapore Authority (PSA), the highest bidder after Dubai Port World backed out of the bidding process, for 40 years for the development and operation of the tax free port and duty free trade zone. According to the agreement, the Government of Pakistan would get a fixed share i.e. 9% of the revenue from cargo and maritime services, and 15% of the revenue earned from the free-trade zone. PSA agreed to invest 550 million dollars in the port. And subsequently while there have been periodic statements by Pakistani governments that a deep natural sea port (while Karachi Port is a natural sea port, Port Qasim is not) would provide untold financial benefits to the country through opening a trade route for Central Asian Republics to the rest of the world yet nothing concrete has come of it. The government of Pakistan (GOP) had to give subsidy for offloading and loading of some bulk cargoes at Gwadar. PSA were unhappy because GOP did not fulfil their side of the bargain because land that was to be handed over to PSA for development of the port support infrastructure did not materialise while the GOP argued that PSA did not invest the agreed amount in the enterprise. It is now greatly hoped that with China in the driving seat the financial benefits to the two countries would begin. China was rightly upset that while it won the contract to construct the port yet the management tender was opened internationally and therefore China opted not to submit a bid. There is no doubt that China remains an all weather friend to this country and in that context Pakistan's interests would be served; however details of the actual agreement have not yet been publicly released and one would have to wait and see the agreement before evaluating the merits of the contract. India's Defence Minister AK Antony, however, has expressed concerns premised on fears that China would as a result get a strong strategic foothold in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea and may decide to use the port as a naval base. It is of course unlikely that Indian strategic interests would play any role in Pakistan's decision-making. However, if the port management is being viewed in a geopolitical context one would hope that the government of Pakistan would better play the situation to suit its long term economic and geopolitical interests. Last but not least. One must not lose sight of the fact that in China's case in particular economic security factors have greatly come to overshadow other strategic interests. After three decades of high economic growth momentum China increasingly believes that it is now required to take a strategic approach of economic statecraft in order to play its due role in global politics. For example, the construction of the China-Central Asia gas pipeline was fraught with grave dangers in relation to China-Russia bilateral relations, because that project had virtually broken the Russian monopoly on natural gas export routes. Credit goes to China that it successfully convinced Russia that although Beijing had built a gas pipeline and was purchasing directly from Central Asia, it did not have any intention of challenging Moscow in Central Asia energy exports. China's unprecedented presence in the former Soviet space was necessitated by its economic imperatives, particularly its energy needs. The gas pipeline project or Russian-Chinese energy competition did not lead to a conflict between these two members of the five-member umbrella of emerging economies, Brics. It is, therefore, strongly believed that China would also be able to allay India's concerns, however much less warranted as compared to Russia's, by propelling its commercial diplomacy into the fore.
India: '' 3 sisters, aged 5-11, raped, killed''
Associated PressIndian police said Thursday that they have launched a manhunt for men suspected of raping and killing three sisters, aged 5 to 11, in the latest case of sexual violence to grip the country. The sisters' bodies were found in a village well in Bhandara district in Maharashtra state on Feb. 14 after they had gone missing from school, police officer Javed Ahmed said. The area is more than 1,000 kilometers (630 miles) south of New Delhi, the capital. As the victims' mother accused police of a shoddy investigation, enraged villagers forced shops to close, burned tires and blocked a national highway passing through the area for several hours on Wednesday, demanding justice. "The police did not take the case seriously and did nothing for two days," the CNN-IBN television news channel quoted the mother as saying. Her name was withheld. One police officer has been suspended for not acting promptly, Indian Heavy Industries Minister Praful Patel, who represents Bhandara district in Parliament, told reporters in New Delhi. "It is unacceptable. All of us have to hang our heads in shame," Patel said. Cabinet Minister Manish Tewari called the killings a "very, very heinous assault" and announced that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was sending 1 million rupees ($18,300) to the family. The central government has asked state investigators to keep them informed of the investigation. The fatal gang rape of a young woman in a moving bus in New Delhi on Dec. 16 set off nationwide protests about India's treatment of women and spurred the government to hurry through a new package of laws to protect them. The gang rape victim and her male friend, who also was badly beaten up in the attack, were dumped naked on the roadside, and the woman died from her injuries two weeks later in a Singapore hospital. Five men are being tried on rape and murder charges in that case. A new law enacted by the government has increased the sentences for rape from the existing seven to 10 years to a maximum of 20 years. It also provides for the death penalty in extreme cases of rape that result in death or leave the victim in a coma. It has also made voyeurism, stalking, acid attacks and the trafficking of women punishable under criminal law.
US urges Pakistan not to sign deal with Iran
GEO TVThe United States warned Pakistan against entering 'deals with Iran that may be sanctionable, a reference to Pak-Iran gas deal. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said during a media briefing that Pakistan had better not sign agreement with Tehran. However, she said Washington wanted to help Pakistan overcome its energy crisis. The spokeswoman also commented on Quetta's Saturday bombing that led to killing of over 89 people saying innocent people were being killed in bomb blasts in Pakistan. She said that John Kerry had talked to Pakistani leadership over action against terrorists. Nuland said that Washington wanted to expedite campaign against terrorism in collaboration with Islamabad.

I started my Valentine boxes on Wednesday. I was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest and was going to have my class turn their Cheerios boxes into Hedwig, the snow-white owl from the Harry Potter series. Perfect for my classroom theme, perfect since we just began The Sorcerer's Stone, and perfect because they wouldn't take forever. Our first task was feathers! We covered our boxes with white copy paper and used strips of tissue paper cut and folded to build our feathers. Take a look!
So, day 1 was happily complete including some music from my Disney Pandora playlist and then it SNOWED....AGAIN! On Thursday we had our 5th snowday of the school year and although I enjoyed sleeping in, all I kept thinking was "Doesn't Al Roker know I have Valentine Boxes to finish?". (I blame all bad wether on Al Roker).
And then...Friday was a delayed opening. Again all the joys of sleeping in but we had some boxes to finish so cards could be distributed. As soon as the kiddos arrived, we got to work. Although I had originally envisioned wings and fethers all around, I was rather pleased with the final result.
Take a peek at a February ELA activity I did with my fifth graders last year that had them analyzing the characters in their novels. Literature Love Letters
See ya later Buddies,
SECOND GRADE: We were also supposed to keep it low key in 2nd grade. So I saved our extra recess time we earned and incorporated it into celebration time. I always do centers for my parties, I mean celebrations! So we had four centers: delivering Valentine's (with no candy attached), eating yummy cupcakes, unscramble the Valentine words, and candy shop vowels. Yes, I did sneak in some learning but this class loves to learn. Here are some pictures:
Love the ipod boxes.
Unscramble the Valentine words
Yummy cupcakes
Long vowel learning!!
If my kiddos finished early at any of the centers they grabbed a clipboard which had a valentine word search. 15 minute rotations work perfect! Another successful low key celebration.
Reading Buddies and Valentine's were both on Friday! So we gathered our classes together and Damien read Roses are Red Violets are Pink Your Feet Really Stink by Deanna DeGroat. The story has a perfect message and cute poems. Then our kids wrote their own poems about friendship. Great Reading Buddy lesson.
What did you do on Valentine's Day?

Album: Return of the Tender Lover
Artist: Babyface
About: 9 songs; 42 minutes
Year: 2015
Choice: DJR Blogging
Dear Babyface – Good lord, man! What is the matter with you? Dan chose your new album, Return of the Tender Lover as our album of the week and I have been shaking my head in disbelief since. I have spent the last several days listening and I did a little fact checking. I read that you waited ten years to put out an album, and I can understand why. How is anyone going to feel good about themselves after having listened to this? Sure, I feel like I have a pretty good thing going on with my man, but compared to you? Forget it! For one thing, I don't get the feeling that he is always on the verge of giving me a Standing Ovation every time I walk into the room. You wrote a whole song about it!
I suppose it helps that you do acknowledge that there are moments when you have had to fight for this exceptional love of yours, but that just goes to makes you even more amazing. You aren't going to throw in the towel when things get rough. As you sing on Fight for Love, you're making sure that your woman knows that there is no giving up.
Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Prince – I hear all of those guys in this album. What you have wrought with this new album is a time machine back to the days of smooth jazz and velvet voices. I want to be that cynical person who says bah! to your lines of sugar, but then I catch myself smiling foolishly as I dance in my chair when you and El DeBarge (!) sing about how just holding hands is akin to walking on air when you are with your boo. Just stop it!
As I write this and think about it, maybe I can't chide you for putting this album out. Maybe it is your way to help the other dudes in this world who don't have your mad romantic game. I think that what we have here is a perfect Valentine's Day gift. Every man in a relationship should come up with an amazing lip-sync performance of one of these tracks. They then need to bring it out after sharing that candlelight dinner with their honey. I know that Dan could do an awesome job with Something Bout You. Who wouldn't have a smiling swoon over something like that.
You are my favorite obsession.
Sometimes I can't even see, no.
Because we got this connection, love.
Without you I just can't even breathe, Lord.
Cause I adore you! Place no one above you.
I live my life for you.
I can't help but love you, awww baby!
Unfortunately, Babyface, Dan did not quite warm to what you were selling, and I do not expect that scene to play out over my Valentine's meal. In fact, he was a little harsh to you. According to him, your album reflects: No rhyme is too tortured, no metaphor is unwelcomed, no sentiment is too trite to be smeared over with honey and stuck into a smooth melody and shipped out. Your girl might need to give you some extra lovin if you go over and read his whole review. Ouch!
But for me, Babyface, you win. You have a pretty special thing going on with your lady, and thanks to my Exceptional sweetie, you brought some good old fashioned, goofy romance into my ears this week. I wouldn't pick it up myself, I probably won't come back to you, but it was a week I will remember.

The show must go on, and the fifth annual installment of Jewish Cinema South is gearing up for Jewish film festivals in four cities in early November.
There are two films that will be shown in three of the four cities. The list of screenings includes the poignant, such as a tribute to Israel's first astronaut, who was killed in the Space Shuttle disaster in 2003, and the unexpectedly-poignant, with New Orleans filmmaker Brian Bain's "Shalom Y'all," a look at Southern Jewish identity centered in New Orleans. Bain is currently in Dallas, according to the film's website.
A project of the Jackson-based Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life, the film festival was designed to be a shared resource for smaller Jewish communities that could likely not do their own film festivals. Participating communities share expenses in booking, publicity and promotion -- and the festival program booklet won an ADDY Award.
This year, Montgomery, Mobile, Jackson and Blacksburg, Va., will be part of Jewish Cinema South. Macy Hart, director of the Institute, said he hopes more communities will participate in next year's festival. Interested communities send a representative to Jackson in the spring to screen films and make selections.
Four communities that now have independent film festivals -- Austin, Houston, Nashville and Shreveport -- began their festivals under Jewish Cinema South.
One goal of the festivals is to provide an opportunity to strengthen and enhance Jewish life, while also promoting multi-cultural dialogue in an entertaining venue.
Jackson kicks off the festival on Nov. 4 with "Marion's Triumph: Surviving History's Nightmare," which will be a school screening at St. Andrews North Campus. That film will also be screened in school showings at UMS/Wright, Mobile, on Nov. 7 at 10 a.m., and at the Capri Theater in Montgomery on Nov. 8 at 10 a.m.
Marion Blumenthal Lazan will speak at all three venues. Narrated by Debra Messing, the film is about the Blumenthal's attempted escape from Nazi Germany in 1938, only to be captured in Holland. When she was liberated at the end of the war, she was 10 years old and weighed 35 pounds.
Her memoirs, "Four Perfect Pebbles," is used in schools worldwide.
Another Holocaust film, "Monsieur: Batignole" is a light-hearted look at what it meant to hide a Jew during the war. It will be the opening night film in Jackson, on Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. at Millsaps College Recital Hall. It will also be screened on opening night in Mobile, on Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. at Hollywood Theatres. Donald Berry of the Alabama Holocaust Commission will speak. In Montgomery, it will be screened on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. at the Capri, with Birmingham Holocaust survivor Max Herzel as speaker.
The mood shifts with "Hitmakers: The Teens who Stole Pop Music," about the Jewish songwriting talent in Brooklyn in the early 1960s. John Turtorro narrates the film, which includes about 40 songs from that era, as well as archival footage of groups like The Drifters, The Shirelles and The Righteous Brothers. Composer Mike Stoller has been invited to speak at both screenings, Nov. 6 at 4 p.m. in Montgomery, and Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. in Jackson. The Jackson screening will also include opening music by Lisa Palmer, Nina Mabry and Josh Wiener.
Mobile's festival will start with a gala reception at the Hank Aaron Stadium clubhouse on Nov. 6 at 5 p.m., including a screening of "West Bank Story," a 22-minute film about an Israeli soldier and Palestinian fast-food cashier who fall in love despite the conflict — between their two families' neighboring falafel stands.
The film will also be part of an evening of short films on Nov. 7 in Blacksburg, at the Squires Center Colonial Hall. There will be a falafel and hummus reception at the 7 p.m. screening.
The short films night also includes "Backseat Bingo," an animated romance about senior citizens; "Gossip (Lashon Harah)," about an elderly mother who starts a hateful rumor about the bride at a wedding; and the animated "The Nuclear Physicist Gives His Son a Haircut."
The Blacksburg festival, which will be on campus at Virginia Tech, starts on Nov. 6 at 1 p.m. with "Shalom Y'all." Bain, a third-generation New Orleans resident, is scheduled to speak. There will be a bagels and grits brunch at 11:30 a.m. in the Commonwealth Ballroom.
"Shalom Y'all" traces his exploration of Southern Jewish identity, tracing some of the routes his grandfather took as a traveling salesman through the region and finding Jewish life where he did not expect it.
The Virginia Tech festival will end on Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. with the Israeli documentary "Columbia: The Tragic Loss." It will also be screened that night in Montgomery.
"Columbia" is a tribute to Ilan Ramon, an Israeli Air Force colonel who was one of seven astronauts on that fateful flight. The Blacksburg screening will also include the short film "Skylab," about a 12-year-old who was convinced that Skylab, falling out of orbit in 1979, was headed directly for his house. A panel discussion of aerospace professionals will follow the screenings, along with a closing reception featuring aerospace treats.
At the Montgomery festival, a representative from the Marshall Space Flight Center is scheduled to speak.
"Go For Zucker" will be the opening film for Montgomery, on Nov. 5 at 7 p.m., and in Jackson on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. A 2004 black comedy, it is the first Jewish comedy made in Germany in recent years, and won the German Film Award for best film, best leading actor, best director and other awards.
Jacky Zuckermann is a middle-aged reprobate whose wife kicks him out. When his mother dies, his estranged Orthodox brother comes to town and they have to sit shiva together and reconcile in order to receive their inheritance.
"Watermarks," a film about seven Jewish female athletes, will be screened in Mobile on Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. The legendary Hakoah Vienna swim club was begun in 1909 after an Austria edict barring Jews from sports clubs. In the 1930s, Hakoah Vienna dominated Autrian swimming competitions, only to be shut down in 1938 as members fled the Nazis. The film includes their first reunion in 60 years.
Israeli thriller "Walk on Water" will be screened on Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. in Mobile. It saw wide distribution in mainstream theaters nationally earlier this year.
Eytan Fox directed the drama, about an Israeli secret service agent who is given the assignment of tracking down a Nazi war criminal through his grandchildren. As he gets to know the grandchildren, his perceptions change and he wonders if he can complete his assignment.
"All I've Got" will be in Jackson on Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. The Israeli film features 72-year-old Tamara, who just died. Heading across the river to the afterlife, she meets her first love, Uri, who died at age 22. She is given a choice — to remain as she is, with all the memories of her life, or begin life again with Uri, as a 22-year-old, but without the memory of her subsequent existence.
Tickets to the Jackson festival are $10 for adults, $5 for students. Festival passes are $35 and $20, and there is a $125 Patrons Pass. Tickets are available at Beth Israel, Jackson. Screenings will all be at Millsaps College Recital Hall, except for the St. Andrew's screening.
Mobile tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for seniors and students. Except for the opening reception and school screening, all shows are at the Hollywood Theater.
Montgomery's tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for students. There is a $25 series pass and a $25 party package, or a $45 deluxe series pass. Tickets are available from the Jewish Federation of Central Alabama. All shows are at the Capri.
The Virginia Tech films are $4 for general admission, free to students with ID. The brunch is $4. There is a $10 series pass and a $36 Patrons Pass. Tickets are available from the UUSA ticket office in the Squires Student Center.

Dubai: Why we are free to worship
Planted in 2010, Redeemer Church of Dubai gathers weekly as a congregation of nearly 1,000 brothers and sisters representing dozens and dozens of nationalities. Redeemer in Dubai has also been a launching point for several other church plants in the region and is home to a training center for pastors, planters and future church leaders. Known as the place where the tallest building in the world was built on the desert sand and where the sands of new islands were built on the waters off its coastline, Dubai is a remarkable place. And the story of how Christian ministry came to find a place here in this Islamic kingdom is equally as remarkable.
The freedoms we enjoy to do ministry in Dubai come from a long legacy of faithful ministry in the Gulf region of the Middle East. Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, as the Gilded Age flourished in America, some Christian missionaries left their homes and came to the coast of the Arabian Gulf to open a hospital in Bahrain. Enduring the incredible heat, despite the lack of any modern conveniences, and as guests in a Muslim land, these missionaries served faithfully and won the local people's trust.
Decades after those pioneers had come, in 1960, when the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were yet to be united and were still called the Trucial States, the tribes living in the area were at risk of dying out. Their population was in danger primarily because of the lack of adequate medical care. One in every two children and one in every three mothers were dying in childbirth. The ruling Sheikh at the time knew of the Christian hospital in Bahrain, about 300 miles away, and appealed to the Christian medical missionaries there to come to the Trucial States to start a maternity hospital.
Drs. Pat and Marian Kennedy responded to the invitation. And despite the fact that their first workspace was a simple clay house with a thatched roof, the Kennedys' hospital immediately changed the crisis, making it safe to have children. Most of the current rulers of Dubai and of the UAE were born in that hospital. Over time, more staff came, all Christians, and were able to develop meaningful relationships with the local families because they came to love and to serve and to care for them.
About eight years ago, after everything we know now to have been the modern story for the UAE — all the oil money, and the flashy shopping malls, and the buildings and everything the area is now famous for — one ruling family gave over $100 million to build a beautiful new hospital on the site of that original maternity ward. The administrators of the hospital thought the donation might be given very privately, to avoid word getting out that Muslim leaders were funding the building of a Christian hospital in the Middle East. However, when the time came to cut the ribbon on the new building, the ruling family was present. In response to the donation, one of the Kennedys' children said to the Sheik, "We can never repay you for this." The Sheik responded, "No, we can never repay you. What your family did for us, we can never repay."
And so the current ministry we have in Dubai and the openness we have to worship as Christians is due directly in part to Christians who came when there was no "value" to being here: there was nothing glitzy or glamorous about coming to this area of the world. No, those original missionaries came because they were compelled and motivated by the love of Christ to a lifetime of faithful service — wherever Christ would call them to go. And one fruit of their sacrifice is now tens of thousands of Christians all throughout Dubai and the UAE get to worship each week and practice their faith openly.
Scott Zeller is the executive pastor for Redeemer Church of Dubai and oversees a variety of church planting and network development initiatives from that church. Scott, his wife Angela, and their four children are from the U.S. and came to the Middle East after several years spent in a church plant in Delhi, India. Their passion is to be part of the work of God to see all nations come to know his mysteries through the church (Ephesians 3:10).

Cinque Terre: Calm After The Storm
I was in Milan, Italy for a two week stay for work and took advantage of the nice weather and went down to Cinque Terre, a rugged part of the Italian Rivieria, south of Genova. The name is Italian for the "Five Lands" and they are five very picturesque coastal towns, popular with tourists. I took the bus into town from La Spezia in the morning, I actually asked the bus driver to take me back up the coast on his way back so I could take pictures.
I could see a stormfront approaching and tried to get an angle on it. Once it arrived everything was washed out so I started walking downhill. It was raining buckets and everything was muddy and slippery, so I took refuge in an abandoned monorail – what did I say? Monorail! It didn't seem to have a clear point of origin, or destination – maybe that's why it was abandoned. My photo tour was off to a great start, here is a snap of the happy camper.
Rain during the day often makes for an interesting sunset – the weather cleared up and the Mediterranean sun dried everything out quite quickly. I made it into town, checked into my hostel and went straight to the coast. Manarola was now presenting herself from her best side:
The towns in Cinque Terre aren't far apart, as the crow flies. There is also a nice walk along the coast appropriately called the Via dell'Amore. I wanted to take the walkway to the next town but the gate was closed – I thought due to the heavy rain. I asked in a café in my broken Italian when it might be opening again, the answer was sometime in the next 2 years. Alrighty then. I don't know why but I was against taking the 5 minute train connection – it's so close! It's nice out and I want to take pictures so I'll hike there, I thought. Without proper clothing, shoes, sunscreen, a map, or a general idea of where I was going, I set out.
The trek started out pretty simple, with a convenient staircase. However, the further I got away from town and into the forrest the less the path was beaten. I didn't see anyone (people) else for a couple hours.
The trail became harder to follow and was very steep. I felt like the I was one of the few tourists that made the mistake of going on the hiking "trail". There also weren't as many vantage points as I'd hoped. It was quite strenuous and I took off my t-shirt. Despite it being a wooded area without clearings and being a cloudy day I still managed to get a decent sunburn, minus the parts covered by my backpack. The sun did it's best to come through.
Based on the timestamps from my photos I can discern it took me around 3 hours and 30 minutes to get to the next town, Corniglia. I had made it to the second of the five towns! It only took a whole afternoon. I could have hugged the first people I saw.
At this rate I wasn't going to be able to hike back, let alone make it to the next town and back before it got dark and I got eaten by wolves. I spent a little time in the town and had something to eat, went to a very inaccessible beach and eventually took the 5 minute train ride back and went down to the waterfront to go for a swim and cool off.
It was quite tumultuous on the sea that evening, the water was rising and falling in waves by at least a meter, which was a lot of fun but also a little life threatening, especially since there was no life guard on duty and the bay had lots of rocks just under the surface. One brave soul refused to get out of the water and stood on a rock to watch the sun go down.
The sunset was very impressive, so I stuck around and took probably 50 snaps, trying in burst mode to get the splashes and clouds to line up – boom! I got something that I am quite pleased with. Not such a bad day after all.

Andrea Romano, Dialogue Director
Phil Bourassa, Character Design
When the powerful Darkseid and his massive, relentless forces invade Earth, several previously unaligned superheroes—misunderstood and, in some cases, hunted by the authorities—discover that the only way to fend off the attack will be to work together as a cohesive unit. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Shazam, and, in his origin story, Cyborg combine their talents in an all-out battle to save the planet. Based on the 2012 graphic novel Justice League: Origin by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, Justice League: War provides a glimpse into the world before the Justice League was created, and offers the initial animated incarnation of DC Entertainment's "The New 52."
The cast features Jason O'Mara (Terra Nova, Life on Mars) as Batman, Christopher Gorham (Covert Affairs) as Flash, Justin Kirk (Weeds) as Green Lantern, Shemar Moore (Criminal Minds) as Cyborg, Michelle Monaghan (Mission Impossible III, Gone Baby Gone) as Wonder Woman, Alan Tudyk (Suburgatory, Dollhouse, Serenity) as Superman, Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) as Shazam, and Rocky Carroll (NCIS) as Silas Stone. On the villainous side, Steve Blum (Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox) provides the voice of Darkseid, and Bruce Thomas (Legally Blonde, Army of Darkness) gives voice to Desaad.
