Testimonial from FireEye:
Learn how we helped this firm grow their presence in Europe!
FireEye was founded in 2004, by visionary and technologist, Ashar Aziz, who identified that the cyber security landscape was about to become the playing field for cyber criminals, cyber spies and hacktivists. Over the next six years FireEye developed a suite of security appliances to protect governments and enterprises alike from sophisticated attacks via the web, via email and within files in transit. By 2012, FireEye's range of malware protection systems, that provide dynamic threat intelligence that identifies and blocks cyber-attacks in real time, had gained significant market share in the US. Needless to say, FireEye was a company with the right product at the right time and it began to grow in number of employees and sales but it was looking for a way to get its product in front of as many new buyers as possible while the market was ripe. Recognizing the worldwide potential for sales, FireEye launched its own International sales team headed by Mr Paul Davis, VP, Europe. Following an initial meeting with Andy Williams at the UK US Embassy, Paul engaged the Commercial Service team for help in growing the European sales footprint, and thus began FireEye's great expansion.
Starting with a team of 45 employees (and just three in Europe only three years ago), FireEye grew to over 1,000 employees and in September 2013, executed one of the world's most successful IPOs on the NASDAQ. Furthermore, on 30th December 2013, FireEye completed a billion dollar acquisition of Mandiant, the privately held endpoint security products and response management provider, creating the industry's first security company to detect, prevent, contain and resolve targeted attacks.
The engagement of FireEye with Commercial Service Europe has undoubtedly been a major factor in the massive growth in sales, and has helped FireEye escalate at pace. FireEye has worked with the support of promotional programs across Europe, arranged by Commercial Service Europe Offices in the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Copenhagen, Oslo and Helsinki – every single one of these events has generated multiple opportunities in the millions of dollars. This is a direct result of the support of Commercial Services, their keen understanding of what will work in-country and what won't, and their ability to leverage their own strong relationships with local business leaders. FireEye has had direct contact with hundreds of potential buyers and clients in Europe (currently has over 1,100 customers globally across more than 40 countries, including over 100 of the Fortune 500). Based on its tremendous success in Europe, FireEye has adopted a global Single Company Promotion strategy to replicate the winning formula developed and implemented by the coordinated team approach executed by the CS Europe region. We are pleased to hear that FireEye intends continuing with their Commercial Services engagements and already has plans to extend reach into new territories with us.

Let's start this conversation off by stating that you can make money with any style of trading. In the day trading game, the primary factor that will determine your success or failure is what's between your ears. That said, there are many different styles that can be used in day trading.
It's important to define your trading style as early as possible in your day-trading career, because it will have a direct bearing on a number of important elements. For instance, your trading style will dictate the type of brokerage account you'll need, the type of trading software you'll use, the sort of training you'll need and the kind of mentor you may seek. Each style is a variation on the day-trading game with its own rules and idiosyncrasies – and you can't learn the rules until you know which game you'll be playing. Nor will you be able to develop a trading plan until you know your trading style, because to write a trading plan you must know what, when, why, where, and how much you're going to trade. And knowing these things actually goes a long way toward defining your trading style.
A trading style is defined partly by how much time is spent in the market – do you close all positions by the end of the day, or do you hold them overnight or perhaps longer? It's also defined by the stocks that you trade, whether you use technical analysis or if you base your trades on news events. Many elements go into defining a style but, again, the most important is the organ inside your head.
Your mental makeup will (or should) drive your decision about style. For example, if you, by nature, methodically think through a situation before making a decision, you may never make it as a 'scalper' because such a style requires the ability to make split-second judgments based on rapidly changing data. Or, if you've spent years making investments based primarily on fundamental analysis, you may have a hard time relying on signals emanating from technical indicators. You may feel more comfortable in trading a group of fundamentally sound stocks. The point here is to learn the essentials that make up the different styles, while at the same time learning about yourself. As you do, you'll naturally gravitate toward a style that best fits your personality.
Although combinations are virtually infinite, let's separately examine a few of the most basic trading styles that you might consider using.
When people think of the classic day trader, they typically imagine him or her employing this type of trading style. The scalper enters and exits a market position quickly, staying in long just enough to 'scalp' a teenie (i.e., a sixteenth, or 0.0625, of a point) in profit and getting out at the first sign of reversal. The trader using this style may make dozens or even hundreds of trades a day, sometimes on just one stock. Scalpers sit in front of their computer screens, grinding out trades (which is why they're also known as "grinders"), some trading any security that moves, others concentrating on a group of related stocks.
As you can guess, one-sixteenth of a point isn't much. One point is equal to one dollar, so a sixteenth of a point is $0.0625. So, a scalper trading for teenies (or a 'cents,' as teenies are often called now that securities trade in decimals) expects to make slightly over six cents per share on a successful trade. On a 1,000-share trade, that's $62.50; on a 2,000-share trade, it's $125; and on 5,000 shares, the profit is $312.50. Commissions can dig deeply into those earnings, especially on smaller trades. And, of course not all trades will be winners. To make money here, traders must make larger-than-average trades (at least 1,000 or more shares) and try to let their profits run.
Scalpers are also called "trend-" or "momentum traders" because they typically look for intraday trends or momentum. They'll buy a stock on a dip, sell it on a crest, short-sell when it turns downward, and cover when it heads back up. As such, this style requires volatile stocks, a good technical strategy to time entry and exit points, and complete emotional detachment.
Scalping ideally requires a large amount of capital (some say $100,000 minimum), a full-time commitment, a professional-level trading platform with a high-speed connection, a thorough knowledge of the markets, and nerves of steel. According to some experienced in the field, this style tends to be more suited for younger traders, the rationale being that for scalping you need lightning-quick reflexes and an appetite for risk-taking. And let's face it, not only do our reflexes slow a bit as we grow older, but most of us also become more conservative in our thinking and less willing to act boldly with our money. Of course, there are scalpers of all ages, but the likelihood is that the older ones have been doing it for quite a while already.
Swing traders operate in a longer market time frame than scalpers do. Instead of looking for teenies over the next several minutes, these traders look moves of several points over the span of one- to five days. This trading style usually focuses on technical information, so at least a working knowledge of technical analysis is necessary. You don't have to be a full-blown technician, you simply need to be able to identify short-term uptrends and downtrends and other technical basics. But swing traders may also trade on breaking news events such as earnings releases, stock splits, and up- or downgrades that could present opportunities for short-term profits.
Swing trading typically appeals to the more conservative individual who wants short-term profits but doesn't quite have the nerves (or, perhaps, the bank account) to operate as a scalper. It can be done on a part-time basis because you don't have to monitor your stock every second that your position is open. And you can get by with a smaller amount of capital (and also smaller trades) because you're looking for multiple-point profits instead of teenies. However, the overall risk is greater because you're holding market positions overnight, and sometimes over the weekend.
The principal difference between a position trader and a swing trader is the length of time a market position is held – though the terms are often used interchangeably. Position traders typically buy and hold a stock for up to ten days. Some might argue that a person holding onto a stock for ten days technically cannot be called a day trader, but it must be conceded that he or she is nevertheless a very active trader, distinguishing them from an actual investor. In fact, many traders prefer the term "active trader" to the somewhat stigmatized and more uncomplimentary term of day trader.
Position trading offers the same advantages and similar market risk as swing trading. Traders utilizing this style might be technicians that buy a stock and wait for a technical pattern to develop, or they could be fundamentalists that keep a position open just long enough to get the market impact of a news-driven event. If you're reluctant to start at the 'deep end,' this type of day trading might be a great way to get your feet wet.
Most day traders use technical signals to determine entry and exit points; some additionally use technical analysis as a tool to find stocks that are good candidates for trading. Still others, however, are pure technicians, virtually ignoring quotes and market-maker influences and basing all of their trade activity on price trends or technical signals. These traders may be technical scalpers, technical swing traders or even technical position traders. The point to note is that a technician's entire strategy is grounded in technical analysis, with everything else being secondary to it.
The best technicians are not only comfortable with numbers but also understand the theory behind an indicator. Nevertheless, any trader will be in a better position by knowing at least the basics of technical analysis, such as support and resistance, simple trend-lines, and moving averages.
Some traders have no style of their own; they simply follow someone else's lead. These are the traders who populate the online trading pits – the chat rooms where a head trader calls the plays and the followers try to duplicate them. They buy when the head trader says to buy, and sell when the head trader says sell.
Some do very well, but there are dangers in being a follower. For instance, if you blindly follow the lead trader without learning the methodology behind the activity, the leader will become a crutch that you won't be able to function without. Furthermore, by simply following a leader, you'll never be pressed to take responsibility for your trades, because you can easily blame any losing transactions on the leader. And, if you never take responsibility for your trades, you'll never develop the 'trader mindset' that's so essential to successful trading. Be aware, also, that as a follower you'll by definition always be at least a step behind, which can be critical in trades that depend on split-second timing. Caveats aside, however, following an experienced lead trader can be a good way to learn how to trade, as long as he or she coaches and teaches as they go.

He learned that blacksmiths are no longer busy, but they do not work for them, so they mostly make souvenirs. April 2019 Calendar South Africa told the gatherers that two weeks ago, Ambassador of Sri Lanka visited Brijuni, who saw that only one elephant on the island, more precisely the Lanka. On this occasion, he promised to work to get Lanka. Lanka is the only elephant in Croatia, and Sony, who was also in Brijuni, died a few years ago. National Park Marno Milotic noted that in the last 35 years Brijuni has visited more than six million visitors and that more than a million tourist nights. "Brijuni are proud of Croatian national cultural and historical and natural treasures, and as such we have to protect and preserve it for future generations and proudly show it to the public as a cradle of history, culture and natural heritage of the Croatian people," concluded Milotić.
Milan Puh, as noted by Jutarnji, is employed as head of ZET's business in Podsused and has a salary coefficient of 2.95, which means that his salary amounts to a minimum of 7500 kuna net.
What is today confirmed by a few ZET employees, The phone to the Podsused branch arrived late last year and is currently working on the dispatcher's site.
It is not the only employment in ZET that is suspected of being a political trade. As the former member of the HNS Presidency and the head of the Krapina-Zagorje HNS Anđelko Topolovec, who was very close and loyal to Marija Puh, was in Bandic's row, and Mirjana Palčec, the Assembly Hall, could soon be employed in ZET Krapina-Zagorje County.
It is with five other HNS councilors under the leadership of Anđelko Topolovac to Milan Bandic, who will for the first time hold a Club of Councilors in the Assembly, and the prize should also be employed in Holding.
As noted by Jutarnji, her job application in ZET has already arrived, but she is not yet formally employed. Although the sources say, he has already begged to be employed, but the question is to which position, given that it is by the profession of a tailor.
In political circles is also mentioned the name Maja Pepelko, also the former HNS council in the Assembly, who was supposedly promised employment in the City Library of Zagreb.
The brother of parliamentary deputy Marija Puh, who left HNS today officially moved to Milan Bandic's party, was employed by the ZET firm in December last year, contracted indefinitely before speculating that the former vice-president of HNS leave the party and cross over to the mayor of Zagreb. Jutarnji list finds who is supposedly waiting for a job in April 2019 Calendar South Africa Puh is employed through a public call that ZET has issued in September 2017.

\section{Introduction}
Experiments based on liquid xenon are leading the search of neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{136}$Xe
due to the fast development of this detection technique in the last decade~\cite{Gando:2016ag}.
More recently, experiments based on high pressure xenon
time projection chambers (HPXe-TPCs)~\cite{GomezCadenas:2014jjgc, Galan:2016jg}
have been proposed due to their better intrinsic energy resolution ($\sim$1\%~FWHM)
and the access to topological features,
which may provide extra discrimination from background events, keeping good signal efficiency.
In this context, the use of Micromegas charge readout planes~\cite{Andriamonje:2010sa} in a HPXe-TPC
has been studied by T-REX project\footnote{T-REX webpage: http://gifna.unizar.es/trex},
leading to the following results:
Micromegas readouts show extremely low levels of radioactivity
(below 0.1~$\mu$Bq/cm$^2$ for both $^{214}$Bi and $^{208}$Tl)~\cite{Irastorza:2016ii};
they have been operated in xenon-trimethylamine (Xe-TMA) at 10 bar
in realistic experimental conditions (30~cm diameter readout, 1200~channels, 38~cm drift),
proving an energy resolution of 3\%~FWHM at the Range of Interest (RoI)~\cite{Gonzalez:2016dg};
and the combination of high granularity readout planes
and low diffusion (as measured in Xe-TMA) can reduce the background level by two-three orders of magnitude
keeping a signal efficiency of 40\%~\cite{Cebrian:2013sc}.

Micromegas readout planes will be used in the first module of PandaX-III experiment~\cite{Galan:2016jg},
to be installed at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL)~\cite{Li:2015jl} by 2017.
A half-life sensitivity of $10^{26}$~y (at 90\% CL) is expected after 3 years of live-time,
supposing a~3\%~FWHM energy resolution at Q-value (2458 keV),
a background level of $\sim 10^{-4}$ counts keV$^{-1}$kg$^{-1}$y$^{-1}$ at the RoI
and a signal efficiency of~35\%.
The potential of discrimination methods in this detection technique,
which combines a low diffusion gas like Xe-TMA and readout planes with pixel sizes of $\sim$1~mm,
is the aim of this paper and will be further developed in a future publication.

\section{Simulation and discrimination algorithms}
A 200~kg HPXeTPC filled with Xe+1\%TMA at 10 bar has been simulated by Geant4 and REST codes~\cite{Iguaz:2015fji},
fixing a pixel size of 2~mm and an energy resolution of 1\%~FWHM at the RoI.
In the analysis, tracks\footnote{Group of points for which we can always find a continuous path between any pair of points.}
and blobs\footnote{A big energy deposit at the end of one electron path.} are found by two well-known algorithms
of graph theory: the identification of connections (or tracks) and the search for the longest path.
Signal events are then selected by three discrimination criteria: a fiducial area; a single-track condition,
with some possible bremsstrahlung photons (energy below 40~keV) situated near the main track (12~cm maximum);
and some limits in the blob charge and density.
The distribution of these two last observables are shown in in Fig.~\ref{fig:TopRejection}
to illustrate their discrimination power.
The little blob charge distribution (black line) is quite separated from background distributions,
as already shown by the Gotthard experiment~\cite{Wong:1993uq}.
Meanwhile, the blob density mainly rejects surface contaminations at the readout planes
(yellow and brown lines), as they are deposited near the readouts, drift very short distances
and show bigger charge densities.

\begin{figure}[htb!]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=75mm]{Comb_LittleBlobCharge.pdf}
\includegraphics[width=75mm]{Comb_BigBlobDensity.pdf}
\caption{\it Distribution of the little blob charge (left) and the big blob density (right)
in a 200~kg HPXeTPC for signal events (black line) and different contaminations:
vessel (blue and red lines for $^{208}$Tl and $^{214}$Bi, respectively),
cathode (green and magenta lines) and Micromegas readout planes (yellow and brown lines).
Events are in the RoI and are single-track.}
\label{fig:TopRejection}
\end{figure}

Fixing a signal efficiency\footnote{This signal efficiency includes the intrinsic and the analysis efficiencies.} of 40\%
and scaling the results by the material radioactivity activities in~\cite{Irastorza:2016ii},
the background energy spectra of Fig.~\ref{fig:TopSpectra} are obtained for the vessel and readout planes.
The background level of these components in the RoI is reduced by two and three orders of magnitude respectively,
down to $(8.1 \pm 0.2)$ and $(1.3 \pm 0.1) \times 10^{-5}$ counts keV$^{-1}$kg$^{-1}$y$^{-1}$.
The blob criteria reject a factor $> 15$ of background events for the vessel,
a value better than Gotthard experiment~\cite{Wong:1993uq},
and a factor $> 55$ for the readouts.
The absence of a trigger signal (or $T_0$) by registering the primary scintillation
only gives a factor $\sim 2$ more background events in the RoI:
this indicates that the implementation of a $T_0$ -unwanted due to the technological
and radiopurity cost of a light readout- is not imperative.

\begin{figure}[htb!]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=75mm]{BackSpec_Sim_Vessel2.pdf}
\includegraphics[width=75mm]{BackSpec_Sim_Readouts2.pdf}
\caption{\it Energy spectra generated by $^{208}$Tl and $^{214}$Bi events emitted
from the vessel (left) and the Micromegas readout planes (right)
in 200~kg HPXeTPC after the successive application of the selection criteria: raw data (black line),
fiducial area (red line), single-track (blue line), blob observables (magenta line)
and a trigger signal or T$_0$ (green line).
The vertical violet dotted lines delimit a RoI of 40 keV, equivalent to a 1\%~FWHM energy resolution.}
\label{fig:TopSpectra}
\end{figure}

\section{Prospects}
These motivating results cannot be directly translated to a background model of a HPXeTPC
because the electronics and the readout planes must be included in the simulation, as done in~\cite{Iguaz:2015fji}.
Then either the algorithms in~\cite{Cebrian:2013sc} are adopted to
the two 2D views for each event, as done in~\cite{Wong:1993uq},
or the event's 3D track is previously reconstructed from these two views.
This second option has been extensively studied by liquid argon detectors,
like ICARUS~\cite{Antonello:2013ma} and DUNE~\cite{Marshall:2015jsm}.
However, its application to $0\nu\beta\beta$ is a challenging task
as MeV electron tracks are relatively short compared to their complex topology
and there are only two 2D views for each event.

Tintu Luka wins women's 800m silver
Incheon: It was once again a case of so near and yet so far for India's Tintu Luka who, despite leading in most of the women's 800 metres final race, was overtaken by Kazakhstan's Margarita Mukasheva in the last stages and had to settle for the Asian Games silver here Wednesday.
Margarita set a new Asiad record of a minute and 59.02 seconds to take gold while China's Zhao Jing won the bronze in 1:59.48 at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium.
Tintu timed her season's best of 1:59.19 but ran out of steam in the last 50m to let the gold slip away through her fingers.
The P.T. Usha protege had also suffered a similar fate four years ago at Guangzhou when she led the pack right from the start but could not keep pace in the last 50m to finish third.
The other Indian in the fray, Sushma Devi also clocked her season's best of 2:01.92 but came home fifth.

Popovers tend to make rare appearances on many dinner tables. They're usually served and reserved for Holidays and special occasions. And that's too bad because they're so easy to make and taste so good. Better yet, your bread machine can make this recipe easier. But there's a catch.
This recipe starts with a batter, not a dough. In order to make the batter in the machine you'll need a cookie dough or pasta dough setting. These settings do not have a rising cycle. In actual fact, a batter recipe does not require a rising cycle before baking. If you do subject the batter to the rising cycle the Popover will not pop in the oven and you'll have a thick, heavy slug of dough as a result.
If you don't have either setting you can use a basic dough setting which is standard on most machines but be careful. Even the basic dough setting has a rising cycle at the end of the setting, so you have to pour out the batter after the mixing/kneading cycle before the rising cycle begins. If you don't understand how those cycles work, consult your owner's manual. The cycles within any setting are important to know.
When the batter is done it's poured into a cupcake pan to finish the Popovers in the oven. They're great with any meal served with gravy or a sauce and are a delicious and surprising treat at breakfast with butter or your favorite jam or jelly.
This is another one of those baking recipes that requires a temperature step-down during the baking process in the oven. It also starts at very high heat and the oven should be very hot before the Popover dough goes in or you won't get the "popover" affect that defines the name.
It's also important that you put the Popovers on the lower rack of the oven. The heat hitting the bottom of the pan and releasing steam is what inflates the dough and makes it pop up or popover, and the lower rack will prevent the Popover from popping into the top of the oven. The recipe itself is very simple and it uses neither yeast nor baking powder or baking soda. Instead, eggs provide the sudden lift to the dough.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 230 degrees Celsius and place a baking rack on the lowest shelf. Make sure there's room for the Popovers to pop up. Also, make sure the oven is up to the heat you've set before making the popover batter.
Butter or oil a standard, 12-cup cupcake pan making sure to oil both the interior of the cups and the tops of the pan between the cups. It may be wise to put a small pat of butter at the bottom of each cup to prevent the popovers from sticking during the long baking process.
The popover effect will cause the dough to flow over the rim of the cups.
Add all of the ingredients to the bread pan in the order indicated in the ingredient section of the recipe and select the setting you have determined will best work with your machine to make a batter.
When the batter is done, carefully divide the batter between the 12 cupcake departments.
DO NOT USE CUPCAKE CUPS. You want the batter in direct contact with the very hot, buttered cupcake pan.
Bake the Popovers for 20 minutes at 350 degrees or 230 degrees Celsius. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DURING THIS FIRST 20 MINUTES OR YOUR POPOVERS WILL COLLAPSE.
After 20 minutes step the oven temperature down to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius for 15 to 20 minutes or until the Popovers are a deep golden brown.
You can open the oven and check the Popovers for color after 15 minutes at this reduced temperature.
When done, carefully tip the cupcake tray to release the Popovers and serve immediately. If any stick to the bottom of the pan, gently pry them loose with a spoon. They will deflate and collapse with time but, you can cook them an extra 5 minutes after browning to harden them up, so they maintain their "pop" while sitting on the table for late arriving side-dishes or entrees.

Intel Drop, Trump, Hate and America's Evangelical Monstrosities
Home Life MSM covers Charlie Hebdo conspiracy talk
MSM covers Charlie Hebdo conspiracy talk
The Jasper Local, uncowed by B'nai Brith censorship, gave positive coverage to my book talk last Friday
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor
As I wrote in my recent article "Canadian police target conspiracy theorists," the B'nai Brith – a Jewish freemasonic group – harassed organizers and tried to shut down my book talk in Edmonton, Alberta last week. When they failed to get the event cancelled, they called in the Hate Speech Squad of the Edmonton Police Department…who listened to the talk and found nothing wrong with it.
Now we learn that the same B'nai Brith also tried unsuccessfully to get my Jasper talk cancelled.
Monika Schaefer, the organizer of the Jasper talk, reports:
"It was indeed the B'Nai Brith who tried to shut down the Jasper event too. What a surprise, isn't it?!"
B'nai Brith's attempt to silence me failed even more spectacularly in Jasper than in Edmonton. The Zionist censors not only failed to convince the United Church of Canada to cancel my talk, but were likewise unable to intimidate the media.
Check out the excellent coverage provided by the Jasper Local:
Visiting "truther" implores Canadians to question official stories of false flag events
"Nobody except those with their head deeply in the sand could deny it."
Jasper Local
Kevin Barrett doesn't care if you think he's a conspiracy theorist.
He doesn't care if you think he's a loonie, or a nut, or if you roll your eyes when you hear the word "truther."
If he cared about all that, he wouldn't have staked his career on exposing the official story about 9/11. He would have simply put his head down like a good academic and shut his mouth.
Instead, he pursued his research, finding gaping holes in the U.S. government's official version of the events on September 11, 2001.
As such, rather than earning tenure, he earned a "Scarlett T." Rather than accepting an offer for a cushy post-doc at the University of California, Barrett joined the Scholars For 9/11, making him the subject of a witch hunt. Rather than bow to pressure from 61 Wisconsin legislators who signed a petition to remove him from the university where he taught, he wrote a book called Truth Jihad. And so, no, Kevin Barrett doesn't care much if you think he's a tinfoil hat-wearing, inside job-professing wacko.
What Barrett cares about is engaging with anyone who's interested in questioning the powers that be.
"I think it's the most important issue of the 21st century," he said about the Truth Movement. "Anyone interested in participating responsibly in democratic governance needs to investigate this issue."
Barrett, along with Canadian author and professor Anthony Hall, spoke to a Jasper audience on August 14 about his new anthology We Are Not Charlie Hebdo: Free Thinkers Question the French 9/11. In it, Barrett and 20 other leading public intellectuals argue that the murderous shooting spree at a French satirical newspaper office in January was not the work of Muslim extremists, as reported. He and Hall make the case that the Paris attacks—as well as the October 2014 Ottawa shooting—were "false flag" operations: set-up jobs to further the persecution of Islam and to justify enhanced national security legislation such as Canada's recently passed Bill C-51…

Further, the Muslim world can not afford to lose Pakistan for it is like a jewel in our crown and not because of its nuclear weapons but as a nation and as a people. Yet they have so many enemies wishing to see them gone but by the Grace of the Almighty their wishes will be in vain.
Salam Khalid, I am sorry I overlooked Sudan but simply because it is so a foregone conclusion.
With or without oil Sudan is a fish-bone stuck down their throats since the days when Muhammad Ahmed Al-Mahdi sent General Gordon's head back to the Queen minus the body.

Unlike KK in the FB comments I am delighted to read that The Jasper Local wrote a fair piece about Dr. Barrett and his book talk. It sounds like a reporter actually showed up to get a first hand impression, rather than just read a slanted, hysterical B'nai Brith account of the man and the event. I don't trust or respect our Canadian government (bribed and blackmailed by "the tribe") but it's good to know there are among us here in Canada a few good men and women who have enough curiosity, character and conscience to appreciate words of wisdom from whomever and from wherever they may come our way. A big BRAVO and THANK YOU to Dr. Barrett and Dr. Hall for staring down the monsters in our midst. And you did it with grace!
James Robertson August 21, 2015 at 7:47 am
To have inspired an article like that is a minor triumph. I think you set a very good example Dr. Barrett. If we had a few more ambassadors of your quality it would be all over.

After the worldwide senseless spending binge the financial situtation of many countries are in a nose-dive, with the 1st world nations at the leading so expect trouble in the following countries in order to steal by force resources and hence prop-up the financial system which these poor countries do no benefit from:
1. Afghanistan with its U$ 4 trillion plus mineral wealth and already with 'boots on the ground' it is an easy pick.
2. Somalia with the largest heavy-minerals and the largest known deposit of uranium it also will be targeted. Somalia is unbelievably rich in minerals ores of every kind.
3. Mali with its huge deposits of gold and other minerals is already under attack but attacks will increase.
4. Yemen.
5. Congo/Zaire with an unbelievable mineral wealth and an eco-system primed to be raped..
6. Indonesia / New Guinea.
Aggressive measures will be taken against these countries which all have oil also but especially Congo/Zaire because oil found deep within Lake Albert is a couple of times more than the known Saudi deposits.
Why war will be instigated in these countries is simply because those that are running this world are so defunct of creative ideas in every sphere such that the only solution they know is WAR and more WARS.
..WAR and more WARS for resources which under different circumstances could be given even for free.
Ted Gorsline August 21, 2015 at 2:24 am
Dear Kevin,
You should lead a populist movement to get the Harper government to pay to rebuild the infrastructure of Libya, which the RCAF led mission destroyed, and to pick up the tab for all of those boat people now flooding into Europe from Libya. Destroying Libya, on behalf of Jewish oil and banking interests, was the main foreign policy initiative of the Steven Harper/John Baird (Now at Barrick Gold and the Monk Center at U of Toronto) government.
Hope your book does well. You need a new attic to live into.
I would like to use this space here to answer Sonali Kolhatkar's article 'Why are we ignoring the war in Yemen ?' http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/why_are_we_ignoring_the_war_on_yemen_20150819
It is because the Yemen is a poor nation and the policies governing this world only work for those whose pockets are stuffed with wealth, whether justly earned or otherwise. And certainly they care even less for Arabs. US demonstrated it clearly by virtually abandoning its Yemeni US citizen in the port city of Aden until they were rescued by the Russians at the initial stages of the Yemen aggression.
Neither the Arab League nor the UN has said or done anything to assist the Yemeni nation and on the contrary whatever they issue is to further compound the problems.
But believe me Yemen can start getting due attention any time it opens up its mining, fishing and oil sectors to foreign investments but in the meantime so long as it has clasped its butt tight it will get no attention whatsoever other than more bombs.
Aziz Khalfan August 21, 2015 at 12:12 am
Just for the record, shortly after the Charlie Hebdo attacks Tom Heneghan wrote on his patriotic website that US and French warships were headed to the nation of Yemen where the orders for the attacks were issued.
Within a short period Yemen erupted in war after Saudi Arabia started raining indiscriminate bombs.

Great write up, Kevin Barrett,getting it done with truth.


Whether you are feeling the effects of intense energy in the world right now or dealing with negative energy at work or home, below are a few simple steps for shielding yourself.
It is said that there is no "positive" or "negative" energy, rather low-vibrational and high-vibrational energies. When we are vibrating at a high frequency we attract other high vibrational energies, such as money. Like attracts like. We feel happy and healthy when there is positive energy around us.
Negative energy can permeate our psyche causing us to feel drained, low, or even sick.
Visualize Protective White Light. Visualize protective white light around you. Visualization is a powerful technique for bringing your thoughts to reality. The purity of the white light symbolizes divine protection.
What are some of your favorite ways to shield your energy?

Queen Elizabeth II is a really good gift giver. According to The Daily Mail, Duke Harry and Duchess Meghan (née Markle) of Sussex have a new home at Windsor Castle. Not only does the property sound remarkable and the perfect spot for privacy, but it also has a ton of history.
Apparently, Meghan and Harry can now also call Adelaide Cottage home. According to Daily Mail's source, Queen Elizabeth "offered the Grade II listed property to the newlyweds as a gift. The source claimed that the couple had been for a viewing, liked it and will move in soon."
No official comment has been given from the British royal family or Kensington Palace regarding Meghan and Harry's reported new property.
The cottage sounds fabulous and exactly what the newlyweds need. Per The Daily Mail's source, "There are seven gated entrances and exits to Windsor Castle so the newlyweds could come and go without worrying about being photographed."
The house is also reportedly near Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's private apartments at Windsor Castle and close to the Guards Polo Club in Windsor Great Park, which The Daily Mail notes Harry sometimes frequents.
As for the architecture of the cottage, the main bedroom apparently has "a coved ceiling with gilded dolphins and rope ornament from a 19th Century Royal yacht." Oh, and there is also reportedly a "marble Graeco-Egyptian fireplace." Adelaide Cottage is also quite historical and once had a well-known face living there, which The Crown fans will appreciate. Group Captain Peter Townsend, aka Princess Margaret's lover, resided here for some time.
In addition to Adelaide Cottage, the queen also reportedly gifted York Cottage to Meghan and Harry as a wedding present. In May, 9News in Australia reported the head of the royal family was expected to give the married duo this particular cottage at Sandringham Estate. Currently, Meghan and Harry are living at Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace, as it was first revealed upon their engagement in November 2017.
Wherever Meghan and Harry decide to live permanently, it sure sounds like they have a lot of options.

Q: Spring: Redirect depending the view I have 2 indentical forms (View A and View B) that use the same controller. I would like it when I do the post of view A, redirect me to a url x and when I do post view B redirects me to another url (y). Is this possible in this function
@RequestMapping(value = "/panics/closeCase", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String closeCase(@ModelAttribute("closeCaseFrom") CloseCaseFrom closeCaseFrom, Model model) {

    CloseCaseFrom sendCloseCaseFrom = new CloseCaseFrom();
    sendCloseCaseFrom.setDetail(closeCaseFrom.getDetail());
    sendCloseCaseFrom.setIdCasePanic(closeCaseFrom.getIdCasePanic());
    sendCloseCaseFrom.setIdPanic(closeCaseFrom.getIdPanic());
    sendCloseCaseFrom.setIdCasePanic(closeCaseFrom.getIdCasePanic());
    sendCloseCaseFrom.setIdStaff(user.getIdStaff());
    sendCloseCaseFrom.setIdUserSession(user.getIdUser());
    sendCloseCaseFrom.setSessionToken(user.getToken());

    panic.mClosePanicCase(sendCloseCaseFrom);

    return "redirect:/alerts";

}

How can I know, which view trigger the controller?

A: You could add a hidden input element in each view with the same name but a different value. You then get that value in your controller and redirect based on that.
This input is in ViewA

<input type="hidden" name="destination" value="a" />

This input is in ViewB
<input type="hidden" name="destination" value="b" />

And in your controller

@RequestMapping(value = "/panics/closeCase", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String closeCase(@RequestParam destination, @ModelAttribute("closeCaseFrom") CloseCaseFrom closeCaseFrom, Model model) {

    //..
    if (destination.equals("a")) {
        // a goes to urlx
        return "redirect:/urlx";
    if (destination.equals("b")) { // or just else {
        // b goes to urly
        return "redirect:/urly";

}

Or instead of values a or b you could have the actual destination as a value in the input fields and avoid using if, just plug that destination in your redirect.

posted by 1200 WOAI - Apr 25, 2018
Fiesta Tuesday night highlighted the city's growing downtown tech industry, as the Teck Trek allowed Fiesta-goers to hike through downtown and visit the people and companies which are leading that growth, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.
Will Garrett, who heads the city's Cybersecurity effort, says it was a true Fiesta party. "We modeled it along events that would appeal to Fiesta-goers," he said. "It's like a pub crawl, but instead of going into bars, you go into tech spaces."
Garrett says a lot of the Tech Trekkers don't know about the breadth and reach of San Antonio's growing tech industry, which stretches from the Pearl to Geekdom to Southtown.
"Our goal is, how to we shine a light on this growing tech eco-system that is building downtown," he said.
And after it was over, in Fiesta tradition, the Tech Trekkers stayed for a party.

Yesterday I travelled to London to my first Game Music Connect Conference. Game Music Connect was created by multi-award winning composer James Hannigan (Harry Potter, Command and Conquer, Dead Space, Transformers Universe) and acclaimed audio director & composer John Broomhall to celebrate the amazing music behind video games and the extraordinary talent behind it. The conference was created to get composers together to network, offer new perspectives on music and the business and help guide the newer and aspiring composers down the path of success.
It was really great to have an insight into how music has evolved in games and also where it is going. From the first 8-bit chip music to the Orchestral pieces of today game music has evolved massively. I believe this is down to composers working hard with game developers to find a way they can work with this interactive medium to create the best experience possible for the player.
James began by showing us an integration program that he had written for the game Republic which helped to trigger different audio files based on where the game was going, for example; if it's a calm scene moving to action the program will trigger another music event to play. For a game composer before the development of sound engine tools they often had to work with the game developer to create some sort of trigger system to ensure the music reacts to the gameplay and offers the game player a more involved experience as oppose to someone watching a movie who has no involvement in whats going on.
Richard showed us how, in one instance he had a spread sheet with two thousand lines, each line represented a bar of music he'd written with four columns to indicate the level of intensity of the scene. In this instance Richard had to break down his music into bars in order for it to work correctly in game, an extremely time consuming job, but in order for it to work this was necessary.
With the need for a more defined way of working with music in game, a company called Audiokinetic created a platform called Wwise, an interactive sound engine for games. Simon discussed how composers can now have a more strategic approach to writing for game. The images below show some examples of how music in a game may be structured from a simple layering of looped music to build tension, to more complex branching similar to an IF function in Excel...if character A does this...then trigger this etc..
From reading this I'm sure it seems that the actual art of composing, going to a studio and recording great musicians playing and improvising is very far removed, but it's not. Composition for game still needs to be that, a composition, pieces of music that provoke an emotion within the game player....and then you chop it up into little bits so it works in the game!!
Olivier spoke more on the compositional aspects and how he would go about breaking things into some kind of structure for a game. The image below is how he looked at scoring the game Assassins Creed IV.
In a game like this you're writing to moods and functions as opposed to following a specific scene. So each piece of music has to have aspects such as reward, you've won a battle, the music changes and makes you feel happier perhaps! In some instances the player is looking for feedback after doing a task...that too needs to be reflected by some change within the music.
I'll leave you with some music from the BioShock Infinite soundtrack written by Gary Schyman.

Everything you need to know about Bordeaux ... in just 5 minutes
By La WINEista , Content proposed by: France.fr , Published: 10 November 2017
Bordeaux is France's biggest wine appellation (AOC), which is all good and well, but where do you start? How do you know what's what? What makes a Bordeaux wine a Bordeaux wine?
Got 5 minutes? We'll get you up to speed on Bordeaux wines.
The terroir is shaped by the river flowing through it.
© Mathilde Bel — The Garonne, the lifeblood of Bordeaux's vineyards
Located on the Atlantic coast, along the left and right banks of the Gironde, Bordeaux's vineyards are shaped by the water that tempers its climate and flows through its vintages.
But the unique and varied composition of the soil is also at play in these outstanding wines. Indeed, the 13 grape varieties authorized for use in the appellation are perfectly at home here. In Bordeaux, their wines are made from an assemblage of varities.
Bordeaux sees red

More than 90% of the appellation's wines are red. Merlot elegantly tops the list, reigning supreme on the right bank (Pomerol, Saint-Emilion). Cabernet Sauvignon brings its robust strength to the left bank (Médoc, Graves), while Cabernet Franc brings up the rear with its intense bouquet and colourful hues. Red or white, the vineyards here have something to offer all oenophiles.
White grape varieties are also worthy of attention.

In Sauternes, the alchemy of noble rot renders the sémillon sublimely sweet. Between Dordogne and Garonne, Entre-Deux-Mers is the promised land for a fresh, expressive sauvignon blanc. In Pessac-Léognan, both of these grape varieties are matured in oak barrels to produce great white wines worth waiting for: they'll only get better in your cellar.
Claret is the local favourite.

Claret is a unique wine with a long history, and the result of a special winemaking process. The predominant grape is a nicely ripened merlot, that is not macerated for a long period of time allowing the wine to retain its light, pinky-red color and its lively palate. A regional favorite, it stands out even among the jewels of the Bordeaux vineyards.
Bordeaux is about more than just the grands crus.
© Mathilde Bel — Bordeaux's grands crus... and all the rest
Haut-Brion, Latour, Margaux, Mouton-Rothschild, Pétrus, Yquem—names that everyone knows even though they account for less than 5% of production. You don't need to be rich to drink a nice Bordeaux. Outside of the wines that boast high price tags, there are more affordable (and extremely tasty) varieties as well.
The Bordeaux vineyards like to look good.

In recent years, Bordeaux's winemaking chateaux have enthusiastically defied convention in an effort to stand out and expand wine tourism. Renowned architects have designed avant-garde wine cellars that are a seamless addition to the landscape, and will be just as popular with wine lovers as with culture-vultures. Recently, artist Nathalie Rodach enlivened the vines of the Estate of Château Palmer with her crimson touch.
The Cité du Vin is not to be missed.
© Mathilde Bel — The Cité du Vin in Bordeaux, a must-visit.
With its daring architecture, varied programming, entertaining presentation, and open outlook, the Cité du Vin will delight and amaze. It's a next-gen museum and a living, breathing venue where visitors are free to discover wine cultures from around the world.
Bordeaux's famous cannelés are matured in oak barrels.
© Mathilde Bel — Bordeaux's famous canelés are linked to the vineyards.
This little cake with its soft centre adorned with a golden crust also has its roots in winemaking. During part of the winemaking process known as clarifying, egg whites were added to the barrels to stabilise the precious juices. The unused yolks were then recycled in the cannelé recipe.
Bordeaux wines are a hit thanks to their varied range. Sublime châteaux steeped in history—contemporary wine cellars—but also "small winemakers" who are more than happy to share their passion.

Manowar's Hungarian Weapons
Király Danuvia Submachine Guns & Machine Pistols
Király Danuvia Submachine Gun Model 1939
Király Géppisztoly / Danuvia Gépkarabély 39.Minta
Danuvia 39.M on top
Danuvia 43.M on bottom
Made by Danuvia Gépgyár, Budapest, 1939-43
Quantity: approx. 11,000 (not all sources agree)
Caliber: 39.M 9x25mm Mauser. Delayed blowback, selective fire
Muzzle velocity 425-463 m/sec, Cyclic rate: 730-780 rpm
40-round staggered row foldable/detachable box magazine
1046mm [41.2"] overall, 500mm [19.68"] barrel
Weight 3.7kg [8.2 lbs], 4.15kg with loaded mag
Effective range 600m
Tangent ramp type rear sight graduated 50-600 meters
Theoretically the submachine gun was best suited for close quarters in-city fighting from house to house. The Hungarian Army leadership did not believe in widely using submachine guns. Police and Gendarmerie leaders were more interested. On Jan 25, 1939 the Haditechnikai Intézet (HTI) [Institute of Military Technology] compared the German M1938 9mm Schmeisser submachine gun with the Hungarian Pal Kiraly designed submachine gun. They decided to go with the Kiraly gun. Main reasons: lighter weight, longer barrel, more accuracy, higher muzzle velocity, larger magazine capacity and easier maintenance. It was adopted for service by the Honvédség (Hungarian Army) on 8/12/1939. It was referred to as the 39.M.
This Kiraly submachine gun (sometimes referred to as Roham Puska - Sturmgewehr, also called 'Machine Carbine') was designed in 1937. The design of this weapon, which is chambered for the 9mm Mauser cartridge, is credited to Danuvia's engineer, Pál D. Király and resembles in many respects that of the Swiss SIG MKMO and MKMS (shown on the left) submachine guns. Any resemblance to the Beretta M1938 is only skindeep. Previously Pál Király was an engineer at SIG and he was the co-designer of the MKMO. The folding magazine system of the Model 39 is similar to that of the SIG MKMO. The magazine, even when loaded, can be folded forward into a recess in the stock, where a plate then slides over it. The folded in magazine was liked by the troops, because enemy sniper spotters could not differentiate between regular rifles and machine guns from the distance. The weapon had a 500mm [19.7"] carbine-length barrel to increase accuracy.
In 1940 1566 39.M's were ordered by the military for the Police [Rendõrség] and Gendarmerie [Csendõrség], however the Honvédség liked it so much, that they withheld this first shipment for their own use. For the Police & Gendarmerie they sent 1000 German Bergman M1935/I 9mm machine pistos instead.
The 39.M functioned well under subzero conditions on the Russian front. The only complaint was the inconsistency of ammunition supply, because this was the only weapon on the front issued with the 9x25mm Mauser cartridge.
Cartridge dimensions: Case Length: 24.9mm [.980"], Rim Dia.: 9.9mm [.389"], Overall 35mm [1.377"] long, Bullet Wgt: 125gr/8.15g.
The standard Model 39 submachine gun has a one-piece stock. After testing the 39M for paratroopers they found it too long, so a version with a folding wooden butt was produced for paratroopers as the Model 39/A (or 39/AM). These guns were supplied with a special carbine sling. 276 folding stock Model 39/A guns were delivered in 1941.
Function: The fire selector/safety is the circular cap located on the rear of the receiver and is operated by rotating the cap to align with one of the three settings: 'E' for semiautomatic fire, 'S' for full automatic fire and 'Z' for safe setting.
Direct translation E = Egyenként (one-by-one), S = Sorozat (in-a-row), Z = Zárva (closed).
After a loaded magazine is inserted, a bolt handle is pulled back, the bolt stays in the rear position. After the trigger is pulled, a spring loaded bolt moves forward, pushes a cartridge into the chamber, and the firing pin is released initiating the firing. Blowback gas starts the reloading process again. The weight of the heavy bolt carrier provides the necessary delay. At the single shot (semi-auto) setting, the bolt stays in the rear position.
By 1942 the demand overwhelmed the production. Quality of the production of spare parts started to slide, which caused problems on the front. Most of the problems were the non-heat treated magazines' lips wearing out too quick. The leadership again considered the German Bergmann and Schmeisser submachine guns, but decided to stay with the Kiraly 39.M, and reinstated the strict quality control. The Hungarians received an amount of MP40 machine pistols from the Germans. Unfortunately these MP40's had the same problems, their non-heat treated magazines only lasted 500-600 rounds due to excessive lip wear.
The large number of captured Soviet 7.62x25mm PPSh41 submachine guns were not a significant help. They were very inaccurate, 'spray-and-pray' guns. The magazines tended to jam and 5-10 rounds had to be removed from the drums to get them to start feeding properly.
By 1943 the military's demand grew to 162,000 39M's. Manufacturing reached 4000 a month.
On Oct 12 1942 a new submachine gun was introduced by Kiraly. This improved version eliminated the common problems associated with the 39M. See the 2 guns side by side at the top of this page. The new designation was Kiraly-Danuvia 43.M Geppisztoly.
This Submachine Gun was issued with a standard 35.M type Sword bayonet. 480mm overall, 340mm long double edged blade. 15mm dia socket sleeve.

With no road, no electricity, Nobdi Langting celebrates sesquicentenary seven decades after independence
by PANKAJ KUMAR DEB
HAFLONG , January 15, 2018 7:11 pm
No road, no electricity, yet sesquicentenary celebration mood gripped Nobdi Langting villagers in Dima Hasao for two days from January 13. Over seven decades of deprivation apparently failed to dampen their spirit.
For two days from January 13, the villagers forgot all the negligence, deprivation meted out to them by the authorities. The village has no electricity. Neither has it any motorable road.
One hundred fifty years of existence but the village roads are there in papers only. Yet the villagers of Nobdi Langting were all smiles at the venue of celebration.
The two-day celebration from January 13 witnessed colourful dances by the villagers. Villagers of different age groups performed traditional BaiDima dance.
On the first day of celebration a 150 year memorial pillar was unveiled by the Chief Executive Member, N C Hills Autonomous Council Debolal Gorlosa.
Surprisingly there was a CEM in the autonomous council from the village. But the condition remained the same.
The village is popular for sesame cultivation. But the economic condition of the villagers is not up to the mark due to communication and infrastructure bottleneck. Politicians lacked will to take any step in this regard. Those came out of the village for higher studies never showed intention to go back to the village.
Promises are galore from the politicians as they are 'trying their best' to bring a change in near future. But in this digital era, condition of Nobdi Langting remains the same as it was before independence or from the day of its existence.

The sitter has not been identified but judging from the hairstyle this portrait was probably painted in about 1490. It formerly attributed to Sebastiano Mainardi which may be correct but, despite his known collaboration with Domenico Ghirlandaio (who was his brother-in-law), there is very little evidence of his style and the portrait is therefore given to the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio. The original panel has been extended.

Peter Abell, analyst with research firm Manufacturing Insights, discusses in this guest contribution the benefits of item-level tagging for high-value product categories, citing Hewlett-Packard's printer-tagging initiative as a prime example.
Apr 19, 2006—This article was originally published by RFID Update.
April 19, 2006—Market watchers have tracked and opined on the progress toward item-level tracking of fast moving consumer goods. However, while Wal-Mart has been setting the cadence in this value chain, high-value product categories like consumer electronics and computing have found their own tempo -- one based on real business value.
Witness Didier Chenneveau, VP of operations for Hewlett-Packard in Brazil, discussing HP's use of tags on the printer chassis that automatically have the component genealogy of the machine captured as it moves along the assembly line. This has enabled the factory to be 20% more efficient from a cost-per-labor-dollar perspective and increased the level of quality data available. Quality data is the first prerequisite to RFID success within the four walls and throughout the end-to-end supply chain. In a recent interview, Chenneveau said that beyond the factory, "we're RFID-enabling the complete supply chain, including manufacturing, distribution, repair, reverse logistics, and recycling."
HP would like to tag all printers sold in the United States -- as opposed to tagging the cardboard boxes in which the printers are packaged -- because there are more benefits for HP, such as the ability to trace a defective printer back to the source, evaluate root causes, and correct the problem. As the printer is assembled, data is written to the tag. For instance, when an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or print cartridge motor is installed, its serial number is written to the tag. "We're recording the DNA of the unit as we make it," said Chenneveau.
After the device's interior components have been assembled and tested, the results of the test are written to the tag. If the components fail, the printer is taken off the production line, quarantined, and evaluated. Meanwhile accepted printers are routed to product completion where HP writes the country of destination to the tag. This assures the manufacturer ships the units to the proper countries.
Retailers such as Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, and others who sell consumer electronic and computing products will quickly provide the appropriate distribution center and store-level infrastructure to take advantage of manufacturer activity. Smart retailers realize that economics will drive adoption much faster than mandates. Retailers that provide the infrastructure will reduce shrink, increase sales, and provide numerous consumer benefits. For example, when combined with a consumer's loyalty card information, RFID-enabled retailers could enable automated warranty registration, rebate processing, quicker repairs, and even a lower price.
The panacea of end-to-end supply chain visibility will not happen all at once, but it will happen for those product categories where the economics justify infrastructure investment at each point in the value chain. Expect high-value consumer electronics, appliances, and other consumer durables to be the product category trailblazers.

The "State of Jefferson"
by dti-admin | 11:03 pm
Since the founding of our nation, many have lamented that no state was ever named after Thomas Jefferson, our third president, although the suggestion has come up several times. For example, the territory that eventually became "Colorado" was nearly named "Jefferson," as was what today is the Texas Panhandle. Neither of those movements went much past the discussion phase. But, "The Great State of Jefferson" nearly became a reality, in present-day CA and OR, in the early 1940s.
In his day, Jefferson himself worried that present-day American Northwest would fall under British influence. He therefore suggested in several letters that "Cascadia" become an independent nation, "the Republic of the Pacific." President John Quincy Adams would later refer to the area as "Astoria" (after fur-trade tycoon, Jacob Astor), and second Jefferson's motion, but believed "Astoria" would be eventually be absorbed into the fledgling nation of which he (Adams) was then president.
Not much additional discussion of the subject took place until the 1940s, when residents of southern OR and northern CA, believing themselves under-represented in both state legislatures, and proudly citing Jefferson and Adams, proposed seceding their collective real estate from the jurisdiction of both states and forming a new and separate state, the "Great State of Jefferson!"
Jefferson's name was invoked because it was he, while president, who had sent Lewis and Clark into the region in order to explore the "Louisiana Purchase."
Jefferson's capitol was the City of Yreka, CA, and surrounding counties were extended an invitation to join. Only seven did, four in OR, three in CA.
A governor was inaugurated, and the new state's flag depicted a gold-pan with two "Xs" in the middle, the first slightly lower than the second. This represented sarcastic recognition of the "double-cross" of which residents of the area thought they had been victim.
The official announcement ceremony declaring the establishment of the new state was scheduled for Monday, 8 Dec 1941. Of course, Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese the day before, Sunday!
In the aftermath of the Japanese attack, the Jefferson successionist movement instantly withered and died, not to rear its head again. The "State of Jefferson" thus came close to becoming a reality, but unforeseeable circumstances conspired to insure that it never saw the light of day!
Another accident of history!
