Continentals".:-) I don't get to concerned if I make mistakes as they often are not used as the regiment in question, but unit histories can help in creating credible uniforms instead of winging it.
The figures are another thing I'd like to talk about in that they are a mixture of Perry metal and the new plastic. I won't discuss the Perry metal as I have done this before so on to the plastic. The ones in coats are the new Perry plastic Continentals btw. Generally speaking I'm a "metal head" and will likely always be so for various reasons, but I am warming up to plastics especially as the quality continues to make leaps and bounds and of course the big savings one gets in the pocket book. I also like the fact that they are reducing the amount of components to make a standard figure as I hate the assembly process. However, for those wanting extra bits they have plenty to make individuals of your troops. The figures are a bit slender making painting a little trickier, but the casting is very smooth with little flash and in terms of clean up better then the metals.The detail is pretty impressive and the figures take the paint quite well. The posing is somewhat limited, but with enough variation to keep it interesting for marching troops and I really like the natural positioning they did use. If you want firing then you will need to get metal or try some of the new WGF AWI plastics which has firing poses. I suppose my only major complaint is it only has 4 of the 38 figures in the box with hunting shirts and that is way to few IMHO. First off hunting shirts are my favourite uniform of the war and second they were an extremely popular uniform of regulars and not just militia or riflemen. Even taking into account you can not please everybody I believe 16 of the 38 should have been in hunting shirts just because it was so common. This of course can be fixed by buying metals and WGF in hunting shirts, but it still would have been nice if this was already solved by including enough in the first place. With everything said I think the Perry plastic Continentals are well worth the buy and I really do recommend them for building up your forces.The lovely flag is GMB designs.
Usually by this time my butterfly habits kick in and I need to do something else, but in fact my enthusiasm still remains very high and so if you like AWI I think you will continue to enjoy the posts as I have a lot more planned to do.
Thanks for viewing!:-)

botanicals, green leaf, greenery, how to save a plant, hoya kerrii, indoor plants, plantcare, propagation, sweetheart plant, wall art print
There are a lot of ways to kill a plant. I did this with overwatering and low light (or the sunbathing?) Still don't know …
But after noticing that my plant (Hoya Kerri, also know as Sweetheart Plant or Valentine Hoya) is dying, I started an desperate rescue.
Although the rescue has been going on for several months, here's a brief description about the way.
My Plant name is Mr.Green Hearty and He was always on my worktable giving me so smart advices. (you can find more details about His precious hints here)
- July 2018 – here is the last time when the Mr. G. has brought a new leaf …
- September 2018 – when the first signs of dying appeared …
These flower-buds couldn't develop for some reason.
Maybe because He wanted to grow a new leaf at the same time and because these flowers would have been the second bloom of the plant, He have no enough fertile soil for blooming … I don't really know.
the only thing I know was that after this point Mr.G. wasn't in good shape …
despite the fact that I moved Him to the window because of the lack of light in the room and I brought Him often to the sun onto balcony. Now I guess it was also a big mistake …
- 26th November, 2018 – the main leaf of Mr.G. was gone and I thought that His roots were in serious trouble.
- After He started dropping the leaves, I decided to cut His 13th leaf along with the associated section … then the 12th leaf, and then the 10th leaf putting them is a clear water.
- After some weeks the leaves gave a sign of life! I was so happy!Then I decided not to cut down the other leaves one by one, but I try put the whole remaining stem in a water.
- If someones follows this recipe: that final CUT I did was at 14th February, 2019
- Do you see those pretty roots appeared on the stem?
Now Mr. G.' s 'children' looks pretty good and heathy. The 13th leaf has got the previous black pot of Him, but – maybe – a little bit smarter carer … and it have already a new leaf! 🙂
Whatever it is, this was my experience with hoya kerri, maybe it could give some hope to desperate plant-carers.
Moto: ' ONLY ONE WATERING A MONTH' – more short hints like this about
Sweetheart Valentine Hoya's care I found here.
happy to hear about your plant-story,
with love

15min. Is it Worth it?
If you only had a 15min window would you lace up your shoes and go for a run? I think most people wouldn't bother, thinking 'what is 15min going to do for me?' Maybe I am wrong... I would love to hear your comments and if you take advantage of a window to run or do you have a minimum duration to make it 'worthwhile?'
I had a 15min window before picking my son up from school the other day. I dug in my gym bag. Put on damp shorts from my class that morning that I forgot to hang up in my office. Ran in my t-shirt and cotton socks (!!) and seized the moment. I got a good tempo pace going and actually felt good to run hard for 15min. It was more a stress relief and I enjoyed getting some fresh air into my lungs after being stuck behind the desk all day. My vote is that 15min is defiantly worth it.

Clearing Land Sustainably And Responsibly
Land clearing is good for business. When a land clearing western canada contract is signed, it should be a sign that progress is being made. Land clearing is necessary to clear an area in preparation for a major building project. Such building projects may for numerous reasons that should be appreciated not be happening as regularly as they were in the years following independence and the closing out of the two great wars of the previous century, but they are happening nevertheless.
Good for business, land clearing should also be good for the environment. Not the local economic environment, that much is already obvious, but the green environment. Environmental activists could be asking questions about this business if it was not being maintained sustainably and responsibly. They may wish to know where all the rubble goes to, believing that there are material elements, concrete and asbestos would be two clear examples, that contain far too much toxins or poison to be retained and re-used elsewhere.
That indeed is a challenging operation. Let the land clearing team look into this if you have such concerns yourself. And do ask for feedback on how this is being done. Environmental activists may also wish to know that once the land is finally cleared, what is going to replace the just-demolished building. That of course, is not a question the land clearing contractors can answer. That is best left to the new property developers and owners.
Perhaps you are one of them. And are you able to take ownership, take full ownership of the land clearing contract? After all, the materials, rubble and waste that is being cleared away is still your property. Take time and effort to engage with your contractors about this suggested initiative.

Danish Supreme Court convicts six in terror T-shirt case
Copenhagen - The Danish Supreme Court on Wednesday convicted six people of supporting terrorist groups by selling T-shirts, but handed down suspended sentences.
The six were charged under anti-terrorism laws with using proceeds from the T-shirt sales to fund the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
The defendants were members of the activist group Fighters+Lovers that said it wanted to fund a FARC radio station and a PFLP print shop. Both FARC and PFLP have been labelled by the European Union as terrorist groups.
Two of the six were sentenced to six-month suspended terms, the Supreme Court ruled. The other four received suspended prison sentences ranging from 60 days to four months.
After the Supreme Curt ruling, one of the six, Katrine Willumsen, told Danish news agency Ritzau it was "a political sentence."
The group planned to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.
In September, the Eastern High Court sentenced two of the defendants to six-month jail terms. The others received suspended prison sentences ranging from 60 days to four months.
A seventh suspect was acquitted of the charges.
The activist group began selling the T-shirts over the internet in January 2006. A few weeks later, the T-shirts were seized and the bank accounts frozen.
The Eastern High Court in its ruling cited reports from human rights watchdogs, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, the United Nations and the Danish security and intelligence service PET listing alleged terrorist acts by FARC and PFLP. (dpa)

Mental Strategies to Cure The Yips
How do you go from dominant pitcher to a pitcher who has the yips and is anxious about pitching?
This is the real life story of Lacey Waldrop, pitcher for the Chicago Bandits of the National Pro Fast-Pitch women's softball league.
As a junior at Florida State University, Waldrop had one of the best statistical seasons in program history. Waldrop posted a 38–7 record with a 1.13 ERA and 287 strikeouts and received several post-season awards: first-team All-American, ACC's Pitcher of the Year and the USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year award.
Waldrop was dominant and lead the Seminoles to an ACC title and the program's first Women's College World Series appearance since 2004.
But something changed at the start of her senior year in 2015… Waldrop's confidence started to wane.
Sometimes players can lose confidence with one poor outing.
During Florida State's first tournament in 2015, Waldrop's throwing motion did not feel as fluid and natural as it did in previous seasons.
Waldrop started throwing the ball way outside of the strike zone, into the dirt or far over the catcher's head. Some of Waldrop's pitches were so off course that she hit the opposing hitters.
Waldrop felt helpless and just couldn't throw her best pitch for strikes despite the encouragement from her FSU coach Lonni Alameda.
WALDROP: "It would happen so often and I kind of freaked out. I asked [Florida State] Coach [Lonni Alameda] what to do because she could see what was happening and she told me I would be fine. I just kept throwing curve-balls and change-ups because those I could control, but my drop ball was my best pitch, so I didn't know what to do."
The yips appeared to have taken hold of Waldrop and the routine task of throwing the ball seemed like an arduous chore. The mounting pressure of having the yips just served to exasperate the mental issue.
WALDROP: "I had always put so much pressure on myself, and I think after having the year that I did my junior year, I thought I had to beat that and put even more pressure on myself to carry the team when I didn't need to do that. I think that's where it stemmed from and it was just too much."
Due to her pitching woes and the mental struggles of pitching, Waldrop spoke to Alameda and sports psychologist to try and fix the problem. The harder Waldrop tried to fix the problem, the worse it got.
WALDROP: "I remember crying so many times. There was embarrassment, there was that feeling that I was letting the team down when I couldn't throw a strike. I just felt really bad that I wasn't doing my job and I just remember questioning why and trying so hard to fix it that it almost was counterproductive because I just tried too hard."
Waldrop had her breakthrough when FSU played the University of Tennessee in the winner-take-all Super Regional contest. It was this game that Waldrop identified that she took back control of her mind.
WALDROP: "I kind of had [the Yips in] the first inning because I was walking a lot of people, and then as I went through the game, I started to completely feel like myself again. Even though we ended up losing, that was the breakthrough of me getting through it."
Waldrop's persistence paid off as she was selected the third overall selection in the 2015 NPF draft by the Chicago Bandits.
In her professional debut, Waldrop displayed her old form as she tossed a complete-game, one-hitter against the Akron Racers.
Waldrop uses her yips experience as evidence that she can overcome whatever obstacles land in her way.
WALDROP: "After seeing it go away, I realized that I can get through anything… Just knowing that if I can get through that, there's nothing that I can't do, on the field or off of it."
Look at your competitive career…
How did you handle your performance dips?
Did your mental approach add to the problem or help you overcome the issue?
Did you coaches help or hinder your progress?
How would a new mental approach help you through the tough times?
How to Handle the Yips & Performance Dips
Ask yourself, "Am I the only one who has experienced this?"
If there are other athletes who have been in your situation and rebounded, then so can you. You can learn from other players who dealt with the yips.
What have you been currently doing that has worked or made the problem worse (overthinking, over-analyzing, tinkering with technique, allowing distraction to enter your mind, etc.)?
Many athletes wait it out and expect their performance to return to normal. Don't wait until your performance returns to normal.
What can you do to overcome these contributing factors?
Whether it is relaxation techniques, meeting with a sport psychologist or talking to athletes with similar experiences, think of some proactive steps you can employ to take back your mind.
You have to break the yips cycle by attacking it at every stage. I'm working hard to bring you the latest yips busting strategies in a new CD program. Stay tuned…
For now, go back to what's worked in the past for you instead of searching for the secret–that might not exist.

Not really related to BMD cameras but just general cinematography. Has anyone used the Tiffen Smoque filters before? How has your experience been? They don't carry them in rental houses so I don't have the chance to test them out, but they seem like a cheap way to recreate the haze/smoke effect seen in The Innocents.

EUROSCI Network
Primary tabs
The co-operative learning platform
The EUROSCI Network brings together academics and universities with a shared interest in exploring the opportunities of educational technology for university co-operation beyond traditional student and teacher mobility. Born in 2016, we were initially focused on European integration. As we developed, however, our scope expanded to other topics and regions in an effort to become a truly global network.
Our vision is to become a global model of how international co-operation through educational technology (including North-South and South-South co-operation) can contribute to sustainable development, the reduction of inequality, and intercultural dialogue, by improving the quality, accessibility, and environmental sustainability, of international education.
We work together in five main areas: (1) international co-operation: enhancing co-operation between academics, universities and other relevant institutions around the world, including North-South and South-South co-operation; (2) teacher training: providing researchers and teachers with experience and training on educational technology; (3) online presence management: consulting and assisting our individual and institutional partners and associates to improve their online presence; (4) sponsorship brokerage: facilitating public and private sponsorship of teaching and research activities; and (5) quality assurance: evaluating, verifying, and reporting, to what extent the educational services and operations of our partners, associates, and other independent institutions, meet relevant quality standards.
At the EUROSCI Network we believe in Agile values and principles, and we apply them to our projects in order to be able to deliver fast to our students and sponsors without compromising value, quality, or scientific rigour.
Our recent initiatives include the organisation of three editions of an EU-funded open online course of European integration with synchronous lectures and asynchronous seminar discussions across five different universities of the Network.

There's Still Time for Diplomacy in Korea
Amid ever‐heightening tensions over North Korea's nuclear weapons program, there are finally some positive diplomatic signals. On Jan. 3, Pyongyang reopened a long‐closed border hotline with South Korea — one day after Seoul proposed bilateral negotiations and two days after Kim Jong Un said in his New Year address that he was open to speaking with the South.
Yet when asked about this possible breakthrough, United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley threw cold water on the whole idea: "We won't take any of the talk seriously if they don't do something to ban all nuclear weapons in North Korea."
Haley's statement is as clear an articulation of the Trump administration's foreign policy as you can get: Diplomacy is a waste of time; we will only talk to adversaries after they unilaterally capitulate and obey all our commands. The problem is that this approach is rarely effective. Sure, sometimes diplomacy fails, but more often than not, blustery intimidation elicits nothing but bluster and resistance in return.
Consider Washington's post‐World War Two approach to the Soviet Union. According to the historian Melvyn P. Leffler, there was "nearly universal agreement" in the military and intelligence communities that the Soviet Union, though expansionist, "was by no means uniformly hostile or unwilling to negotiate with the United States." Yet, in contrast to the internal consensus, Leffler cites U.S. officials increasingly depicting Moscow as "constitutionally incapable of being conciliated" and hell‐bent on "world domination."
In July 1947, a War Department intelligence report found the Truman administration's more confrontational approach "tend[ed] to magnify the significance of conflicting points of view, and reduc[ed] the possibility of agreement on any point." According to Leffler, this "had resulted in a more aggressive Soviet attitude toward the United States and had intensified tensions."
By contrast, history is replete with examples of tactful statecraft successfully yielding major concessions from adversaries.
Although the Cuban missile crisis had for decades been misrepresented as an example of a steely‐eyed American president staring down a retreating Soviet Union, the truth was later revealed in declassified documents. John F. Kennedy secretly offered to withdraw U.S. missiles from Turkey, while Russia's Nikita Khrushchev agreed to take the missiles out of Cuba in exchange. Nuclear war was averted through diplomacy and mutual concessions.
President Barack Obama's approach to Iran was successful because it followed this diplomatic model. For years, Washington approached Iran with obstinate condemnations, extreme demands, and little interest in serious negotiations. This all‐sticks‐no‐carrots posture resulted in stubborn hostility on both sides and an expanding Iranian nuclear program. Only when the Obama administration conceded Iran's right to peaceful civilian nuclear enrichment and offered sanctions relief did Tehran agree to major restrictions on its nuclear program. This resulted in what Yukiya Amano, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, describes as "the world's most robust nuclear verification regime."
So why is Trump ignoring his predecessor's example? A popular argument against the prospect of rapprochement with North Korea is that we tried diplomacy in the 1990s and Pyongyang took advantage of American overtures and failed to live up to its commitments.
But that is an incredibly misleading representation of the 1994 Agreed Framework. Negotiated by the Clinton administration, the Agreed Framework froze Pyongyang's plutonium pathway to a nuclear bomb and opened its program up to inspections in exchange for economic and diplomatic concessions from Washington. Unfortunately, according to Stanford University's Siegfried S. Hecker, many in Congress opposed the deal and "failed to appropriate funds for key provisions of the pact, causing the United States to fall behind in its commitments almost from the beginning."
Pyongyang took this as a signal that it needed a back‐up plan. Early in the George W. Bush administration, which took a markedly tougher line from the start, U.S. intelligence found Pyongyang was secretly developing uranium enrichment capabilities, which violated the spirit, though not the letter, of the Agreed Framework. The Bush team pulled out of the deal in response, prompting Pyongyang to expel international inspectors.
In 2002, Bush put North Korea in the infamous "Axis of Evil", which strongly implied a future regime change effort. Pyongyang soon after withdrew from the Nuclear Non‐Proliferation Treaty and only a few years later, the Kim regime tested its first nuclear weapon.
Diplomatic efforts have a better track record, even with North Korea. North Korea tends to respond to toughness and attempts at coercion with its own set of belligerent policies. However, over the past 25 years, according to a study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, periods of diplomacy correlate with a reduction in North Korean provocations. Simply put, the Trump administration's central premise on North Korea is wrong. More threats and pressure won't elicit surrender from Pyongyang. In fact, the estimated costs of war are so catastrophically high that military threats at this point are probably not credible. The CIA assesses "no amount of economic sanctions will force the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, to give up his country's nuclear program."
Diplomatic options are readily available. Americans involved in low‐level discussions with North Korea have repeatedly said Pyongyang is willing to negotiate. Russia and China have long insisted that the best first step to constructive diplomacy is an initial "freeze for freeze" agreement, in which Pyongyang would agree to freeze its weapons testing in exchange for a halt to all U.S.-South Korean military exercises. While U.S. military commanders do not support a total freeze, South Korea has suggested postponing some exercises until after the Olympics. In addition, Washington could easily halt its provocative — and superfluous — overflight operations near North Korea.
The exact outlines of a deal would have to be defined at the negotiating table, when each side can communicate its own expectations and flexibility. But the United States has wide latitude to satisfy North Korean security concerns, including offering an end to what Pyongyang calls Washington's "hostile policy," sanctions relief, or even a reduction in U.S. troop levels in South Korea. The latter may appeal to China, which could motivate a more constructive Chinese approach to the North Korean problem.
Nothing about the current situation on the Korean peninsula forces us to take an exclusively hardline approach. Only pride, honor, and terribly wrong ideas about diplomacy prevent a more sensible approach.

Honor Society Challenge
Saturday, March 17, 2018
This event took place on March 17th, 2018 throughout the UH Manoa Campus. In this event, we competed against the Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering honor societies. The first event was a competition to find the number of hidden items throughout Manoa. In this event, the whole team took a picture with an item described to win a point. The location ranged from the college of business to the bio-medical building and back to POST. In the second event, we played jeopardy which had questions involving math and science to common sense and riddles. The HKN team was winning until the very last question where we placed last due to an incorrect answer. The next event was an icebreaker game. This game involved saying your name and filling in the blank of a sentence. We then participated in a relay race where the first part of this race involved passing down a candy using toothpicks. The next part was wheelbarrowing a person down the lane. The last part of this event included running down the hallway to pop balloons by sitting on them. The last event was dodgeball where we only won one dodgeball game. Overall, we placed last :)


text: I finally dedicated myself to making the switch to my new rig. It's heavy...but it rocks! Here it is: Ampeg SVP-PRO QSC RMX 850 Mesa Boogie RR Powerhouse 1000 (EV series) Yikes! The RMX 850 bridged is surprisingly LOUD coming out of the Powerhouse. The loudest I can go is turning the amp gain to 9 o'clock and the master on the SVP-PRO to about halfway (12 o'clock). This is deafeningly LOUD. And the speakers do a slight bit of movement at those levels, I wouldn't want to push them any farther. My question is: Would it be of any benefit to move up in power? As in maybe 1200-1600 watts? Is that just begging for cab destruction? It's my understanding these cabs are rated for about 1000 watts RMS (give or take a 100 here or there). Even with such loud volume, is the 850w I'm giving it enough? Am I better off with 1200-1600w? And what of my Mesa Boogie M-2000? It puts out supposedly 600w. Would it be not good for me to use that with the Powerhouse? Cuz now I'm thinking of selling it, especially if I risk underpowering my cab. Hmm. Any thoughts? -T

A 20-year-old man was shot and wounded by police in Crown Heights early this morning, Friday, after he refused to obey orders to drop his weapon.
The incident occurred near the corner of Saint John's Place and Rochester Avenue, just after 1:30am.
From ABC News:
According to the NYPD, officers on patrol saw a man running southbound on Rochester Avenue being followed by another man who had a black firearm in his hand.
The officers saw the man fire at the person he was chasing and then continue to run south on Rochester Avenue in the direction of the officers.
The officers exited their vehicle and gave tactical commands to the suspect to drop the gun but their commands were ignored, police say.
A sergeant fired at least two times, striking the suspect once in the left thigh area.
He kept running southbound where he discarded his weapon and finally collapsed in front of 1525 Saint John's place, where he was apprehended.

My skin was just baby soft after the message and looked quite radiant.
The oil was absorbed into my skin in no time.

Nothing like re-reading old favorites–especially if they're a big, meaty series of books that I can really get stuck into. Hence I'm continuing my Stephen Donaldson-fest this month, specifically The Gap series. I love the way he twists all his characters around, forcing me to re-evaluate my powerful first impressions about each one. His heroes become villans, villans become heroes, and victims who've been used and brutalized and betrayed, somehow find the strength to "redeem" the very people who used them in the first place. This series takes my breath away–even after the third or fourth read–and I found myself needing some "light relief" in between the book because they're so darned powerful. Well worth checking out if you're a fan of Sci-Fi.
And of course there's Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh. If I could be any paranormal creature in the entire world, I'd be one of Nalini's angels. If you haven't read this book yet, all I can say is, "What's wrong with you? Get thee to a bookstore immediately!" Like, before they're all gone from the shelves. Angel's Blood is an absolute must-read.

5 Summer DIYs You Have To Try!
Wednesday, July 5
Get in the mood & celebrate Summer with these awesome DIYs! They were a lot of fun to make and they all turned out
super cute
. I especially love the vase! Which one will you be giving a go?
5 Summer DIYs You Have To Try This Year!
The first summer craft I made this year, and my personal favourite.
Watermelon Vase!
For this craft all you will need is a tall jar &
acrylic paint
- and flowers of course! I just painted the vase in a light pink colour, waited for it to dry & add the pale green to the bottom and the seeds using a black paint marker! Fill it up with water & pop in some cute summer flowers!
The second craft is super simple, but totally adorable -
Pineapple Canvas Bag!
You will need a plain canvas bag, a pencil,
fabric paint
& a piece of cardboard. Pop the cardboard inside the bag to give you something to lean on & prevent the paint from soaking through. Draw the outline of the pineapple with pencil quite lightly & paint! Leave it to dry, and you could do what I did & add a bit of glitter paint. (Because who doesn't love glitter?) Leave it to dry & you're done!
I've seen this craft floating around Pinterest, and I really wanted to give it a go! I think it turned out well, but its not as cute of some others I have seen to be honest. You could definitely use your imagination and make these really unique and pretty -
Pinecone Flowers!
All you'll need is pinecones & acrylic paint - and something to cut your pinecones with! Cutting pinecones is not an easy job! They are a lot tougher than they look. You'll need to cut the ends of the pinecones off, and just leave the flat bottoms. In the end I ended up pulling all the bits off and cutting through the middle with a sharp knife. After you've got over that mission, you can paint your pinecones. If you want them to be bright you can paint them a layer of white, and then a bright colour on top. Add a little white dot for the center of the flower & arrange in a bowl!
I like to have a little canvas up for each changing season, no idea why! I painted this little
Hello Sunshine Summer Canvas
this year.
Just using a
plain canvas
, yellow acrylic paint & a white paint marker. I then used a thin gold paint marker to add a few sparkly gold dots!
I love this last one so much! I've been having a lot of fun with clay lately & I thought this would be a great way to incorporate Summer!
Mini Clay Cactuses!
All you will need for this is air dry clay, acrylic paint and
teeny tiny plant pots
. I found mine on eBay. Using the air dry clay, create some little cactus shapes - be creative! Pop to the side & add some more clay to fill up the little plant pot. Get the clay in the plant pot a tiny bit wet & pop the cactus on top. Smooth it all out so they are stuck together & leave to dry. Paint them however you fancy. I also added a bit of varnish just to keep them pretty!
What do you think? Will you be trying any of these DIYs this Summer?

I saw a short news report by the name "Catching A Monster". It was about Peter Scully, a man who made videos torturing and molesting children, and then selling the videos internationally through the deep web. I came across his name when lurking around the depraved section of the swedish forum Flashback.
Looking through what people had to say on YouTube there's the type of comments anyone should expect when we're talking about people who do terrible things: "They're not human. They don't deserve to be viewed as human."
Well, first of all, why would you act like humanity is some kind of honorary medal? You're acting as if human beings in general are awesome. They're not. They're morons.
Second of all, people saying that this dude is a monster and shouldn't be viewed/treated as human are naive. This is a part of humanity, whether you like it or not. That man is a member of our species. So are Hitlers nazis, the Islamic State, the people who performed the Armenian genocide, Japan's "rape of Nanking" in 1937, and so on, the list of atrocities committed by man through time is long.
By dehumanizing people who do horrible things you're moving the problem away from mankind. Thus you're removing man's responsibility and that makes it real easy not to think about it deeper than the surface. It's simple-minded to solely dismiss someone as evil, it's much more challenging to understand how someone would be able to do something terrible and why people are what they are.
As soon as you choose to dehumanize someone you're opening yourself up to becoming as disgusting as them, by saying: "Only they are capable of evil. Not me." And history has many examples to offer proving you otherwise. Sure, you might not rape and murder kids, but that's not the only horror that could come from you choosing to stop viewing certain people as people.

SUVA, Fiji (Fiji Times, Sept. 28) - Only 40 percent of the tourism dollar stays in Fiji, says Minister for Tourism Tomasi Vuetilovoni.
Speaking at a press conference to commemorate World Tourism Day yesterday, he said 60 percent of Fiji's tourism earnings "leaked" because a lot of hotels were still sourcing food supplies from overseas.
"I have been urging the hotel operators to use as much local produce as possible," Vuetilovoni said.
However, he said hoteliers claimed that the quality and consistency of local food supply was not up to par.
But Vuetilovoni said this argument was no longer relevant because the quality of vegetables in the country was of a good standard.
"We just go down to the market place and we can see the quality of vegetables that we have. There is no problem with quality," he said.
Vuetilovoni said the problem was the consistency in the food supply.
"It's really the consistency of supply. But it's like the...
SUVA, Fiji (Fiji Times, October 1) – Three traditional Fijian canoes were handed over to the Government by builders from Kabara, Lau yesterday.
Melanesian Arts Festival Fiji delegation co-ordinator Semi Buwawa said the traditional canoes – waqatabu - would be used for the 3rd Melanesian Arts Festival.
He said the canoes would carry the government leaders of the Melanesia Spearhead Group countries next Saturday from a certain point to the Suva foreshore and would coincide with a march in the capital city.
"The builders are from Kabara and were the traditional builders for the Tui Nayau and although they are being paid by the Government they still used the traditional skills and as Fijian protocol dictates it was then traditionally handed over to the State today (yesterday)," Mr Buwawa said.
He said 10 men carried out the work on mahogany wood instead of the traditional vesi wood.
HONIARA, Solomon Islands (Solomon Star, Sept. 27) - A fifteen-member Taiwan Mobile Medical Mission visited the Mini Hospital of Tulagi, Central Islands Province, Solomon Islands, on Monday to conduct medical examination of the locals.
The team includes doctors, nurses and experts.
Reports reaching Solomon Star said the team provided free medical services to the local people in the surrounding communities of Tulagi.
Medical services that have been rendered includes pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, internal medicine, dentistry, surgery, and orthopedics.
During the daylong visit the team also donated numerous kinds of medicine worth thousands of dollars to hundreds of local people.
It was highlighted that the local people were glad to see the coming of the medical mission because some of the sick patients who have suffered for a long time through some form of sickness had the chance to be treated or prescribed with medicine that are not normally...
PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (PNG Post-Courier, Sept. 27) - West Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea, will miss out on cocoa earnings this year following recent revelations that the cocoa pod borer had affected the crop since 2003 and the damage was worse than that at Kerevat in East New Britain.
It was also revealed that since then cocoa production had been "none to very little" in Aitape, the main cocoa growing area of the province.
[PIR editor's note: ] The former West Sepik, currently known as Sandaun Province, is the north-westernmost province of Papua New Guinea. Aitape is a coastal town in Sandaun Province.]
A team of experts from the Coconut and Cocoa Institute (CCI) in East New Britain announced their findings upon returning from a weeklong trip into the isolated Aitape area where evidence of the pest had been found.
Chairman of the East New Britain Cocoa Pod Borer committee...
SAIPAN, CNMI (Marianas Variety, October 2) – The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands will re-introduce a permanent residency program for individuals who invest at least US$200,000 in the commonwealth.
Gov. Benigno R. Fitial on Friday said the proposed residency program will be drafted by Oct. 15 and enacted through the legislative process.
He said the local residency program will target Japanese and Chinese investors.
At US$200,000 each, residency cards sold to 2,000 Chinese investors would yield US$400 million worth of investments, Fitial said.
"We should look into re-enacting the Residency Act and bring in investors. We will be selling residency only to investors…. We are looking at US$200,000 to US$250,000. This is not final yet," said Fitial.
"We want to make a condition that there should be a reinvestment. They cannot just run away (after making the investment)," he added.
Fitial said the CNMI's first Residency Act was enacted...
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (RNZI, October 1) – Solomon Islands' new Attorney General remains on the run from police in Papua New Guinea.
Julian Moti, an Australian lawyer, is wanted by Australian authorities over an alleged child sex offence.
The Australian Associated Press reported he was arrested at Port Moresby's Airport on Friday off a flight from Singapore at the request of the Australian government.
But after being granted bail by a magistrate that night, he failed to appear in court on Saturday morning and absconded from his hotel before police could detain him.
Police initially thought he might have caught a commercial flight to Buka on the Papua New Guinea island of Bougainville.
But the authorities now think he is still in Port Moresby.
[PIR editor's note: According to The Associated Press, Moti was arrested at Australia's request on pedophilia allegations. He is a 41-year-old Fiji-born Australian lawyer, the AP reports.]

HONIARA, Solomon Islands (Solomon Star, Sept. 28) - Work on the reconstruction of roads linking Solomon Islands' Auki to some parts of Malaita is found to be progressing well.
This followed a visit to the road linking Auki and Fulisango yesterday by a RAMSI [Regional Assistance Mission Solomon Islands] and Community Sector Program delegation yesterday to Auki.
[PIR editor's note: Auki, capital of the Solomon Islands province of Malaita, is on the island's northwest coast.]
The delegation is led by RAMSI special coordinator James Batley. Work on the existing roads include re-leveling the road with solid gravel and rocks, and proper culvert.
The construction is part of a post conflict rehabilitation program carried out by the Australian government through the Community Sector Program (CSP).
The delegation included Mr. Batley, Stuart Schaeffer Deputy...
PAPEÉTE, Tahiti (Tahitipresse, Sept. 28) - Last year's 208,067 tourists each spent an average 202,000 French Pacific francs [US$2,242] while visiting Tahiti and Her Islands, a 2.5 percent increase over the 2003 average of 197,000 French Pacific francs [US$2,186], the French Polynesia Statistics Institute reports in its latest study of visitor spending.
The increase in average spending occurred despite a 2.2 percent drop in the volume of visitors.
There were 212,767 tourists in 2003, or 4,700 more than last year. But last year's total tourist spending was fractionally higher--42.109 billion French Pacific francs [US$467.4 million] compared with 42.003 billion [US$466.2 million].
North American, French, non-French European, Japanese, Australian and New Zealand and South American tourists accounted for the overwhelming majority of tourist spending last year in that order.
But only North Americans, French and non-French European visitors spent more per visit...

PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (PNG Post Courier, October 1) – Papua New Guinea (PNG) Power will spend PGK120 million [US$43 million] to upgrade, renovate and replace existing facilities and equipment at the Rouna Two hydro power station.

text: MSF has published photos of the hospital struck by Saudi-led coalition forces in Yemen on social media [MSF] A Yemeni hospital run by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has been hit by a series of Arab-coalition air strikes, the medical aid group has said, the latest bombing of a civilian target in a seven-month air campaign. At least six people were injured during the air strikes. Speaking to Al Jazeera, MSF spokesman Hassan Boucenine said the overnight attack "must have been deliberate", as the group had provided the Saudi-led coalition with the coordinates of its facility in Saada only two weeks ago. "We give GPS positions, all the positions, of our hospital to the coalition head, and we renew them every month," he said, adding that "the latest one was done two weeks ago". Saying that coalition forces "know it is an MSF hospital", he added: "There is no reason - ever - to commit a war crime. To target a hospital. There cannot be any good reason." The Saudi-led coalition of Arab states launched an air campaign against Shia Houthi rebels and their allies in late March in support of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. Saada is the stronghold of the Iran-backed Houthis who overran the capital unopposed in September 2014, before advancing in several Yemeni provinces. 'War crime' Saying that it "may amount to a war crime", Amnesty International called for an independent investigation into the attack. "The attack on Haydan Hospital appears to have been an unlawful attack causing harm to civilians and civilian objects," said Philip Luther, director for the Middle East and North Africa at the UK-based rights group, Amnesty International. "The consecutive air strikes show deliberate targeting of the medical facility. This is another sad day for civilians. "Hospitals and medical units must be respected and protected in all circumstances - they only lose their protection against attack if they are used for military purposes." Luther said that the attack on the hospital "means the loss of vital humanitarian treatment for civilians across four directorates of northern Yemen". Air raids have been blamed for scores of civilians casualties since March. In Afghanistan, at least 30 people were killed earlier this month in the US bombing of an MSF hospital in Kunduz.

Struggling Borussia Dortmund target last 16
Borussia Dortmund are looking to hold top spot in Group F with a win over Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday to put them in the Champions League's knock-out stages.
Dortmund enjoyed a 2-1 win at Sporting a fortnight ago with goals by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and midfielder Julian Weigl, his first for the club, to leave them top of the group on goal difference from defending champions Real Madrid.
Dortmund will book a last 16 place with victory at their Signal Iduna Park against third-placed Sporting, who are four points behind both Borussia and second-placed Real Madrid.
Dortmund's final group match at Real on December 7 is likely to settle who will win the group, but for now the focus is on Sporting.
"We need to put the whole package on the pitch," said Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel.
Also Read:
"Anything else would be light-hearted and unprofessional. I'm counting on Sporting showing their best side."
However, Jorge Jesus-coached Sporting have a miserable record in Germany.
They have have never won in Germany with one draw and 11 defeats, while Dortmund have a 100 percent home record against Portuguese sides in Europe with four wins in four games.
But Tuchel's Dortmund have struggled of late.
They are winless in their last four Bundesliga match, dating back to late September, and were held to a goalless league draw at home by rivals Schalke on Saturday in the Ruhr derby.
"It feels very tough, as if you were to fight very hard for every little thing," fumed Tuchel.
Their only wins in October were at Sporting and last week's penalty shoot-out victory over second division Union Berlin in the second round of the German Cup.
World Cup-winner Mario Goetze has said recent results have left a bad feeling. "We have to reward ourselves better," he added.
The reason for their dip in form has been a horrific run of injuries.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (calf), Marc Bartra (groin) and Christian Pulisic (ill) missed the penalty shoot-out win over Union last Wednesday, but were involved in Saturday's goalless draw with Schalke.
Aubameyang and Pulisic played in the Ruhr derby while Bartra was an unused substitute.
Club captain Marcel Schmelzer has been out since October 14 with a groin injury, while Andre Schuerrle and Raphael Guerreiro both made substitute appearances on Saturday after injury spells.
Sven Bender (ankle), Marco Reus (groin), Neven Subotic (ribs) and Erik Durm (knee) are all long-term absentees.
Reus is back in full training, but will not feature against Sporting.
Director of sport Michael Zorc says the priority is to beat Sporting to put them in the knock-out stages so they can concentrate on their league form ahead of Saturday's away league match at bottom side Hamburg.
"We definitely want to underline our good position with a victory, because we need to focus on the league afterwards," said Zorc.

this. what is idea if there is 8 guys fighting each other and almost everyone is representing same organisation, this had nothing to do with olympics... There needs to be maxium 1-2 fighters/org/weightclass.
In any given event currently, how many athletes are from the same country in real life, such as US, China, Germany to name a few but not disregard others and in some events certain countries dominate and sweep the medals so why would it be so outlandish that this happens here as well.

Let me take you to a place that I know. It's a place where I can just be, a blank canvas where my mind rests, where I can reach out to you in the only way I know how.
There is a room, it's not very big, but it's big enough that when the door is shut and locked you don't feel claustrophobic.
The white door is locked from the inside. The paint has aged and is flakey, it could have been duck egg blue at some point. The handle and locking mechanism are ornate brass, bright, shiny and smooth on the parts that are handled the most but tarnished on the rest of it. I don't know where the key is to get out. It's OK though because I have no intention of removing myself from this room any time soon. And even if I want to remove myself, all trace of the room magically fades away.
The walls are white. I'm not sure if they are cracked or faded because I hardly ever take my eyes of the door.
There is a window. Outside the sky is always blue. Sometimes there are white fluffy clouds, but they are never grey and the sky is never completely overcast. Trees frame the window, when I glance over I can see the green leaves dancing in the breeze. I don't think the room is on the ground floor because all I can see is trees and sky.
The floor is definitely faded. I can see when I am laying on it. There are wooden floor boards, slightly uneven, like you get in old English cottages. They creak when you walk across them, not that I do much walking. I imagine that when I cry my tears seep through the cracks..
Despite there being a bed in the room, a wrought iron bed with simple sheets, I lay on the cool floor facing the door which is an arm's length away. I can just about see under the door, but it doesn't look like anything, just darkness.
I imagine you in the adjoining room, laying like me – on the floor, an arms reach from the door.
You can poke your fingers though the crack under the door, and I can do the same. It's to let each other know we are still there. We can't hear each other because neither of us have the strength to talk in words. We can't see each other, apart from our finger tips, but it is somehow comforting, especially when you reach out far enough and our fingertips touch momentarily.
In two locked rooms it feels so far away from each other, much like reality. But when our fingertips touch all distance is lost and it feels like you are really here with me in my room.
Love Sailor xox
P.S I'll be back soon, studying is almost over.

I like the slow cooker pulled pork recipe that I've been using, but I knew it wasn't "the one". I knew that there is a better version out there and I want to find it. The one I've been using is a little too sweet and a little too saucy. Almost like those prepackaged bbq's out there that you just reheat. I could continue to adjust the ingredients, but I'd rather try a whole new method all together. I came across this recipe on D.C. Foodies. Make a rubbed pulled pork and add the bbq sauce yourself.
Genius. Pure genius.
Adapted from Cook's Illustrated on D.C. Foodies:
Ingredients(for 4-6 pound pork loin):
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (only use 1 tsp if you don't like it spicy)
2 tablespoons ground cumin
4 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons salt
- Mix together the rub in a large Ziploc bag. Shake it to combine spices throughly.
- Add the pork to the bag and shake to fully cover the pork in the rub.
- Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours. The longer it marinates, the stronger the flavor will be. I let mine marinate for 12-14 hours. I made it while I was making dinner and put it in the fridge until morning.
- When ready to cook, turn slow cooker on low, take pork out of bag and place it into slow cooker. Add 1/4 cup water if you want to end up with a little more sauce. Cover pot.
- After one hour, turn pork over. Recover pot.
- After another hour, turn pork over. Recover pot. Cook for 4 more hours.
- After a total of six hours, check to see if the pork is starting to tenderize. If it is, shred the pork using a fork and stir the shredded meat around in the sauce created during the slow roasting.
- Continue to cook for one more hour. Serve on buns with desired amount of bbq sauce.
This pork is incredibly tender and moist with so much flavor and depth. Brian and I enjoyed eating it with and without bbq sauce. That says a lot, because Brian likes his pulled pork very sweet. This is a really great recipe and I'll be making it again in the near future.

Take a trip out to the Pulau Payar Marine Park, situated 19 nautical miles south of Langkawi. This marine park is made up of a number of smaller islands with pretty coral reefs and colourful marine life. The main island, Pulau Payar is best known for its calm and clear waters which are great for those who wish to try snorkeling (gear is provided) whilst the rest of the islands make a for perfect diving exploration. By the beach, you can look forward to thrilling encounters with neon-coloured coral fish as they playfully swim between your ankles close to shore.
For those who do not dive or snorkel, marvel at the spectacular sights below the surface from the large floating platform built with a tunnel-like chamber located at the bottom of the platform, more than 10 feet below the sea. The platform is also equipped with a dining area, a snack bar and a sun deck for sunbathing. Buffet lunch is included.

Pontiac Firebird 1979 DescriptionGorgeous 1979 Firebird Formula Convertible .. this car started its life as a T-Top car and was sent over to National Coach Engineering in 1979 for a Dealer Option convertible makeover,The car is Number 70 out of about 250 convertible conversions.
National Coach Engineering of Michigan (1979 - 1982)
|In 1978 this company began converting Firebirds to convertibles. Prices ranged from $19,995 to $24,995 in 1979. For some perspective the 10th Anniversary Trans Am (Pontiac's most expensive standard offering for 1979) averaged around $10k. The NCE dealer option added on average over $8,000 to the factory invoice. Only T-Top Trans Ams were shipped to the NCE facility for conversion. This was due primarily to the extra rigidity built into the T-Top cars. NCE reinforced the frame and pillars as part of the conversion process. They also re-located the rear speakers and dome light. One interesting note is that a roll bar option was offered by NCE but only for the 10th Anniversary models. In order to get an NCE convertible it had to be noted on the order sheet.
Its believed, but not confirmed that NCE converted 250 Firebirds in 1979.
2 Toned paint in Silver and Grey, with the Blue decal option to match the light blue interior.
She has had one recent repaint to exact factory colors. As well as a new convertible top, new hounds tooth seat covers, carpet, arm rests and inner door panels and trim. True Flowmaster dual exhaust and new chrome tips added about 200 miles ago.
She has 27582 on her speedomete, and while there is not specific documentation to prove that she is a 27582 mile ca, I do have title transfer copies from second buyer who then transferred to her son, that indicate date, mileages, and the condition of the car that point to her being a real 27582 mile car. The car spent most of her life garaged in Gallop/Grants NM. She is rust fre, and even during the repaint, the Auto Body Company remarked on her being free of rust problems.
The paint and exterior are almost flawless, there are a couple rock chips on the panels behind the rear wheels. there are also 2 cracks in the original dash as noted in the pics.I do have the original arm rests, door panels, and the Original replacement wheels from NCE ( chrome metal spokes with Firebird spinners - would have to be re-chromed) if buyer is interested in them.
Here is your chance at a gorgeous classic car, one that very few have ever seen. You will definitely most likely have the only 1979 Firebird Convertible at your local cruise and or car show. :)
She's priced at $20,000, This is a gorgeous, somewhat rare piece of American Engineered beauty. Good Luck!

My experience has been that quite a lot of people actually want something a bit more, even if they don't know it.I've personally never installed any of the others on any of my systems, while I do have openssh-server installed on all of my systems.The actual request is to make it easier to have openssh-server installed so that users can straight away access the newly installed system over ssh, nothing more and nothing less. So IMO we need a task that does exactly that, and nothing more.Out of curiosity, how are people in this situation actually installing their systems? Are there really that many people out there that are keyboarding their way through an entire install, but can't (won't?) then login to the newly installed system at the console and run "apt-get install openssh-server"? As someone who has preseeded their installs to the point where a new, fully-configured machine is nothing more than a 10 minute appointment with the PXE server, I'm having trouble imagining that there's a large market for this microtask[1], but I've been wrong before. I just think it's a question worth asking.
In my case, 99 times out of ten it is a case of "Sit at the console and do the install, when it completes walk back to my desk in another building, try to login and realize 'Damn, I didn't get an ssh server installed' and go back to do so." Good for exercise, not so good for frustration level. Were I dealing exclusively with Debian installs, perhaps my creaky wetware would become conditioned to "the install isn't complete until you apt-get install openssh-server" but I deal with three other distros and at least two other operating systems where this isn't an issue.
