Sacai Spring 2012: Hybrids, Simple in Their Complexity
Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt. PARIS--The past few years, Sacai, designed by Chitose Abe--an alumnus of Comme des Garçons--has been on an expansion course. Last season's mini-showings have blossomed into a full runway show this time. Three weeks ago the company opened a flagship store in the Aoyama Minato-ku shopping district of Tokyo about a block down from the Prada mega building. And Sacai menswear is emerging from its underground cult status and has been presented in Paris during the men's shows. While Ms. Abe's signature and innovative work with knits remained the foundation for today's collection--shown at the back of the Hotel d'Evreux near place Vendome--the spring clothes indicate an evolution in her masterful recombinant techniques marrying one element of a garment to another. This spring collection continued to feature her skilled combinations of different types of fabrics onto one garment and her ability to alter the forms of skirts, dresses, or cardigans--or mixing elements of each--to arrive at a new garment like a dress with a ribbed cotton front.

However, this season Ms. Abe also rendered the collection more feminine with billowing shapes and sexy broderie anglaises with white cotton eyelet trench coats that revealed the skirt underneath. A navy ribbed short sleeve sweater with cotton short collar and flare back dress, a white cotton shirt with a cowl neck knit cardigan sewn on top, and an attached white cotton pleated poplin micro-skirt were her signature all-in-one outfits.

One of the best looks was a navy cardigan with an attached folded khaki skirt back and a navy knit skirt with a white cotton tutu. A simple long navy short sleeve knit dress with embroidered shirt collar and an open back with an attached flared khaki skirt were also standouts. This description doesn't adequately protray the simplicity of construction and the beauty of this look on the runway as the model turned around to reveal the backside. I loved the white double-breasted coat and white satin/ yellow lace dress combination.
It's clear that Sacai's customers adore that attention to small detail in each of the garments; either they are a hybrid top or an all-in-one variety garment. There's a great deal of workmanship involved in many of her creations. You almost have to appreciate this kind of workmanship to really appreciate the clothes. It's another example of the antithesis to fast fashion today.

Spring 2012 Paris
Comme des Garçons Spring 2012: Confusing Brilliance
PARIS--It has been a very long time since I sat through an entire fashion show and afterwards I was still trying to figure out what the designer was really up to. That happened late on Saturday afternoon at the Comme des Garçons show, which was a much different show than the stunning collection presented by Junya Watanabe for his eponymous line earlier in the day. "White drama" was the theme to this puzzling but absolutely beautiful and meditative show from Comme des Garçons where a model wearing a white duchess satin knee length dress with a puff skirt and a bow that seemed to tie her hands together (not to mention the large headdress) opened the procession. This led to an all-white collection that displayed not only incredible workmanship in tailoring and embroidery with sumptuous coats and short dresses, but a show that stirred varied emotional reactions from the audience.

Kanye West Spring 2012: Our Review of Kanye's Debut Collection
PARIS--In the car on the way past the Luxembourg gardens towards the Pantheon near where Kanye West held his debut womenswear collection on the fourth floor of the Lycée Henri IV, I thought about all those times that I had gone to the Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons show where clearly entertainment and not fashion was the main attraction. It was the era when bling triumphed over substance. Somehow I was hoping that this would not be the case for Kanye West. In fact, I was ardently hoping this would not be the case. Yet, I know that fashion is a roll of dice and in many cases one does not get double sixes, once or ever. I remembered back in May 2007 when we shot Mr. West for Flaunt's September 2007 fashion issue, he told me of his interest in someday doing a fashion line. Over the years, at the shows in Paris and New York, he has been a constant presence, sometimes an unwelcome one. But attending these shows was like being enrolled in fashion school. Seeing how other designers present their collections is like learning on the job. At the very least, one cannot fault his commitment and his enthusiasm for fashion which lead to last night's show.
Chanel Spring 2012: Pearls from the Sea
Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt. PARIS--You never know what to expect when entering a Chanel show. Chanel is the last fashion house in Paris that consistently stages shows on the grandest of scales--one season it was a giant golden lion, another a farmhouse done to scale, another time an actual iceberg imported from Sweden, and last season, a volcanic eruption. This time the Grand Palais (that massive exhibition hall built for the 1900 World's Fair), was done all in white, the floor covered in sparkling white sand, the seating curved like ocean waves. An aquatic scene was set: there was a whale's tail, seaweed in various states of submersion, giant clams, coral reef, a giant stingray, snails and shells scattered throughout. Oftentimes, décor and spectacle can overwhelm the fashion, but that was not the case here. On the contrary, the tranquility of the aquatic scene, the feeling of being under water, only served to enhance the collection. Models walked out from what appeared to be the mouth of a giant octopus while Florence Welch sang a la Botticelli, on the half shell. The clothes seemed to flow on the body like the movement of water.
Sacai Fall 2011: The Debut Show
Fashionista contributor Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt. PARIS--"At the very beginning, knits were the bases of the concept, but since then, it has been about merging various types of categories, such as the trench, the bomber jacket, or the biker jacket, or a classic men's knit pull-over or cardigan sweatercombined with a skirt or a skirt and a cardigan and so forth," said Chitose Abe following the second of her three mini shows this morning inside the courtyard of the Hotel d'Evreux. Ms. Abe, who established Sacai in 1999 after either years of working with Junya Watanabe at Comme des Garçons, has been presenting in Paris over the past few years. But it was her first time doing a small live presentation, with models wearing everything from a beige fringed knit and a brown short skirt, to a flared sleeve cable knit sweater with a sleeveless pull-over trench and a feather skirt, to an asymmetrical cable knit skirt with chiffon underlay and a sleeveless cotton tank and fur aviator collar.

I have been being a graphic designer for years. I love designing so much. My design expertise are logo and modeling.
Tools I use in designing are Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
"I somehow neglected to give feedback when these designs were done. The designs were really great. We are finally putting them to use, and look forward to developing more collateral with the help of this designer."
"This is my second time to finalize a logo with Alyaroha. Amazing designer."
"It was a phantastic experience to work with alyaroha. Creative, understood our wishes and the logos were ready in a few hours. Thank you!"
"She is really awesome, and her designs are beautiful. I can definitely recommend this designer."
"Very nice to work with. Was responsive and very professional."

This Console Generation Will Shape the Future of Gaming
Hyperbolic speculation is the norm when it comes to the introduction of a new video game console generation. Read the pundits, and it's clear that each iteration of Nintendo's game system will be the one that "changes the way we understand games," and every console war will be someone's last. While I normally try to distance myself from such far reaching claims, it's hard to ignore the gravity of this upcoming console generation and its potential to shape the future gaming landscape.
The Death of the Hard Reset
The introduction of a new console generation used to be a hard reset for the gaming industry. The old titles and experiences were thrown out for new games and awe-inspiring graphical upgrades. From Sony to Nintendo to Sega (rest in peace), the scales of power shifted rapidly with the gaming giants jostling every few year for their place at the top.
That was the old gaming world. It was the world where games were purchased in brick and mortar stores and played exclusively on consoles. Look back eight years and see how things have changed; smartphones are now a viable gaming platform, online integration is expected, and some games are even free to play. With online communities and digital content extending beyond the lifespan of consoles, the "hard reset" no longer exists and line between console generations is becoming blurred.
While some gamers still prefer to play alone, the last eight years have been a testament to the importance of online gaming. The Xbox 360 and the PS3 helped to bring online gaming mainstream, but since then the experience has become much more than a simple means to play; it's a social endeavor. With each system offering its own respective communities, players have forged identities, collecting achievements and connecting with friends.
For the first time ever in a new console cycle, there is an experience that extends beyond the life of the console itself. In today's online gaming world "who you play with" is becoming just as important as "what you play" or "what you play on."
Microsoft and Sony understand this, and will likely include the option for users to import their old accounts onto the new generation of systems. This means that gamers will be able to continue their online experience seamlessly into the next generation, and more importantly they have added incentives to stick with the same brands going forward.
Adding to customer incentives is the potential carryover of games with the industry's push towards digital content. Native backwards compatibility has existed in the past, but due to hardware restrictions (often a result of evolving/changing chip architectures) the catalog of playable games has been limited. Streaming digital content on the on the other hand could help manufactures offer a far wider breadth of older titles on future systems.
Streaming digital content would allow consoles to bypass the difficulties associated with emulating old content. OnLive first demonstrated the viability of online streaming, but due to the enormous overhead that comes with streaming games the company eventually went belly up. However, despite the costs and difficulties associated with online streaming, Sony (which acquired the online streaming company GaiKai in 2012) appears to ready to take on the challenge.
In Sony's recent PlayStation 4 press conference, the company announced its lofty goals of online streaming with the PlayStation Cloud. Unfortunately details about the new cloud system where scarce; but the company did say that it aims to allow users to access their content through a plethora of devices, and it hopes to offer content extending as far back to the original PlayStation.
How exactly this cloud will work, and what kind of price structure will follow it remains to be seen; but the introduction of Sony's new cloud systems does allude to the fact that the future of the games industry will revolve around interconnectivity. And you can bet that others will quickly pick up the banner. With competitors like Valve already offering a freely moving catalog of games with its Steam client on the PC, the consoles need to catch up.
With the industry continuing to stress the importance of digital distribution and online gaming, the carryover from console generations is increasing greatly, making it much easier for companies to entice consumers to stay loyal in the future.
The window for these companies to solidify their install bases is shrinking rapidly, and likely whoever gains ground this generation, will have a much easier time holding it in the future.

Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 6, 1875, Volume II
Mr. Fish to Mr. Cushing.
Department of State,
Washington, August 21, 1874.
Sir: Your dispatch No. 41, inclosing a copy of your note to Mr. Ulloa presenting the reclamation on behalf of the officers, crew, and passengers of the Virginius, was received upon the 17th of July. Upon a careful reading of this note to the minister of foreign affairs, it appeared to place the reclamation, even in the case of those who had been executed, principally, if not entirely, on the ground that the capture of the vessel was illegal. While it may be said that the capture being illegal, reparation must follow for all the subsequent acts, including the executions, at the same time it seemed that great stress might be laid upon the fact, at least so far as American citizens were affected, that such bloody deeds as were enacted at Santiago were contrary to the usages of civilized nations, in violation of treaty-obligations, without parallel, and entirely without excuse, and demanded full and complete reparation, entirely apart from the question of the illegality of the capture of the vessel. Nothing was said, however, on this point, as every confidence was felt that in the further presentation of the case, in your own way, you would completely and forcibly represent the whole case in conformity with the views and on the grounds orally discussed between us before your departure on your mission, and in such form as to make it most effective in its operation upon the Spanish government, and in the estimation of this Department.
Your dispatch No. 59 was also received, inclosing a copy of Mr. Ulloa's note in reply to your demand.
The Department is now in receipt of your No. 64, inclosing a copy of your reply to the minister of state. Your reply has been read with care and lively satisfaction.
Your presentation of the case, and the light in which you have placed it, meet with the entire approval of this Department.
It is most disappointing and unsatisfactory to learn, after the presentation of the claim for reclamation had been delayed many months, when ample time had been given for every investigation which could be required, when an opportunity had arisen for the government of Spain to meet the question freed from the excitement which surrounded the acts [Page 1225] which were complained of, when even the Spanish government had become loud in its expressions of horror at the execution of defenseless prisoners, in cold blood and without trial, that the answer submitted to your demand for redress for the occurrences at Santiago should be simply a plea for delay.
You will, on proper occasion, express to the government of Spain the strong feeling of this Government, that the questions so fully presented by you should be considered without delay, and that ample reparation, now too long deferred, should be promptly furnished.
This Department awaits with interest your further communication on this question.
I am, &c.,
HAMILTON FISH.

Marty Q (USA) - saxophone
Marty Q, saxophonist / singer / songwriter has been on the music scene for only a few years and put out his first National Release titled "Table for 2". After Marty stamped his sweet soprano sax sound on "My Girl" on Shanachie Record's compilation CD titled "Smooth Jazz Plays Motown's Favorite Love Songs" Marty teamed up with the producer Chris "Big Dog" Davis to do his own project titled "Table For 2". A lush CD with a blend of angelic soprano sax tones and some very flavorful tenor expressions. Marty Q's live show is always satisfying because he plays alto, tenor and soprano sax live along with soulful vocals with a little edgeiness to it. Marty also appears on Vesta Williams CD "Distant Lover" (2007) with an alto sax solo on "Ooh Baby Baby" also on Shanachie Records Label. To date Marty Q has sold 24,000 CD's and downloads combined as an independent artist. "Only a few guys in the business play that sweet soft tone on soprano" - Chris "Big Dog" Davis - "Marty's tone is Superior" - Neil Reshen (former mgr. of Miles Davis).


A common characterization of the Product Owner role is as the "single wringable neck" – the one person the business can go to when the product fails to deliver on expectations or market success. This saying encapsulates the difficulty and responsibility of the position; Few people would sign up for this, and in fact, when organizations are new to agile and particularly to Scrum, the role of Product Owner is often the most difficult to isolate and instill in only one person. Most organizations – attempting to be agile or not – fractionalize product decision making between multiple individuals, and thereby spread not only authority and ownership, but also responsibility. None of this is much good for anyone, of course; Spreading authority and ownership makes it extremely difficult to come to a solid decision, give development teams clear direction, or achieve anything like a cohesive vision – frustrating for the team and counterproductive for the organization. Spreading responsibility is even stickier: Whose fault is it when the product fails? It's not the team's fault – they were just following confused and ever-shifting instructions. It's not any one product owner's fault, either – they're just one of many. Perversely, though, this arrangement can often be a cozy one for someone with authority.
I once had this put to me bluntly by a would-be product owner when we were discussing how much information and detail should be given the team when defining requirements. I was trying to impart the value of the more is-better approach, when he stated he wanted to provide only "Just enough detail to hold others accountable [in the event of failure], but not so much that I can be held responsible." He appeared to be joking, but there was no denying the element of morbid truth.
If you look closely, however, it's obvious this arrangement is an attempt to come to grips with the intrinsic unpredictability of software development, by reserving the ability to change requirements or direction mid-course. A dysfunctional and chaotically wasteful method, for sure, but such things happen when laboring under false assumptions like those embedded in waterfall.
Ironically, this ability to change course is the very raison d'être of agile development – fortified with clearly defined roles and transparency to prevent the perverse situation above. The team has the authority to say how much work it can do in a given time, and the responsibility to meet the commitments it makes. The product owner has the authority to determine what does or doesn't get into the product (and set the priority order of what does), and the responsibility for the success or failure of those decisions. With power comes responsibility. And there's nothing like your neck on the line to provide the motivation to perform at your best.

Nonviolence vs. Nazis: Five Lessons to Trounce Trump
December 14, 2015Written by Rivera Sun
US politics are enough to give everyone nightmares of Donald Trump as Hitler minus the mustache. He'd drop a nuke on ISIS. He wants a registry of all Muslims. He decries economic inequality while profiting from and being the epitome of the problem. He's white, male, and millions of prejudiced, mass media skewed Americans seem to adore him.
But while we're dusting off the ghosts of Nazi Germany, remember that history not only holds stories of horrors and atrocities, but also stories of courage, heroism, and resistance. Let us therefore evoke five stories of nonviolent resistance to the Nazis: Sophie Scholl and the White Rose, André and Magda Trocmé and the citizens of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, the Berlin women of the Rosenstrasse protests, the Norwegian Teachers' Defense of Education, and the Danish rescue of the Jews.
Those of us who choose nonviolent action as a form of making change, are often challenged with the question, "But what about the Nazis?" These stories are the reply to that question. Widespread nonviolent struggle was never used against the Nazis, but wherever it was used, it was quite successful. From the courageous efforts of our forbearers in the lineage of nonviolence, we can draw the inspiration for mass action and widespread nonviolent resistance. If we must face the frightful specter of an American Hitler, let us pick up the torch of those who came before and go boldly into new frontiers of organized nonviolent resistance.
Know your history, my friends, for when history repeats, those who do not know the stories of nonviolent resistance are doomed to perish in the horrors of genocide, violence, and war. Those who know these five stories, however, will glean from them the wisdom, inspiration, and ideas for practical action that empower us to end fear, hatred, bigotry, and violence.
Sophie Scholl and the White Rose
In 1942, a young German woman, Sophie Scholl joined the White Rose, a group dedicated to nonviolent resistance of the Nazis, particularly through spreading forbidden literature about nonviolent resistance. As a child, she, like all of her school friends, had joined the girl's wing of the Nazi Party youth movement. However, she grew alarmed at the political views and the dangerous rise of Nazi ideology. Over the next ten years, she consistently chose to dissent from her peers. In university, she discovered her brother Hans and friends had started the White Rose and quickly joined. On February 18th, 1943, Sophie and Hans were spotted doing a leaflet drop from the top of a university tower, arrested, brutally interrogated by the Gestapo, put on trial without lawyers, and executed by guillotine on February 22nd. Sophie Scholl was twenty-two years old.
The point of Sophie's story is not her death . . . it is her life of conviction and courage that offers inspiration for our own lives. If we live in a time when one of our presidential candidates does not seem to mind being compared to Hitler, then we must organize in such a way that we can be compared to Sophie Scholl and the White Rose. We must challenge the hatred and bigotry of our day, withdrawing from social clubs and institutions that support xenophobia and racism. We must consciously take the stance of respect and justice even if it runs contrary to the opinions of our peers or neighbors. We should share knowledge of how to nonviolently resist the injustices wrought by our nation. We should write, print, and distribute literature calling upon our shared human values of respect, peace, justice, equality, and kindness. We should use our new online technologies to do so, as well.
We, unlike, Sophie Scholl and her fellow students in Germany, have the Freedom of Speech. Her life, her death, her courage and sacrifice should serve as our reminder to use it, now, not tomorrow or next week, but today.
"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did." – Sophie Scholl

André Trocmé and the Sanctuary of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon
André Trocmé was trouble for those who favored war and violence. He was sent to a remote parish in the mountains of France for his pacifist views, but as the Nazis invaded and occupied France, Andre discovered he was in a unique position to join the international network of people resisting the Nazis and the persecution of the Jews. He and his wife, Magda, and his deputy worked with the villagers and parishioners of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon to create a series of safe houses for fleeing Jews. The local schools enrolled children under false names, and met them at the train station as if welcoming family members into their homes. When the anti-Jew Vichy government caught on, they sent gendarmes to search the village. When asked to produce a list of Jews, Trocmé replied, "We do not know what a Jew is. We only know men." It is estimated that between 1940-1945, the village saved the lives of 3,500 Jewish refugees.
Flash-forward to September-November 2015: Syrian refugees are fleeing violence, civil war, airstrikes, terrorist groups, and extreme repression. They flood the shores of Europe. In Hungary, Sweden, and Greece, the governments ban the refugees. The citizens rise up, nonviolently, flock to the train stations, defy their officials, and welcome the refugees into their countries. Then, in November, terrorists attack and kill hundreds of people in Paris. The Syrian refugees are scapegoated. Thirty-one United States governors overstretch their authority and issue statements saying they will not accept Syrian refugees in their states.
What are we going to do? The moral obligation of compassion is clear. Our governors, like the officials in Europe, like the Vichy government and the Nazis, and all the cruel oppressors throughout history, must be resisted nonviolently. Like André Trocmé and Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, we must make our communities havens for those fleeing violence and death. We must open our hearts and homes to provide sanctuary to our fellow human beings, even going to great risks to assure that our common humanity is not destroyed by the bigotry and hatred of the times. Refugees are seeking refuge . . . and all philosophies, faiths, and spiritualties call upon us to be offer such sanctuary in the midst of the storms of violence and war.
Resisting modern-day Hitlers and Nazis requires opening our hearts to those being persecuted by the politics of hatred. In our times, this means Muslims, refugees, immigrants, the homeless, the poor, and a great many more. Like Trocmé and the villagers, we find ourselves in times of crisis, being required to do extraordinary acts in the midst of our ordinary human lives. Like Trocmé, we each have this capacity within us, a seed of compassion just waiting to unfurl.
"Look hard for ways to make little moves against destructiveness." – André Trocmé

The Women of Berlin, Rosenstrasse Protest
In 1943, Joseph Goebbels promised Adolf Hitler that Berlin would be Judenfrei – Jew free – in time for Hitler's birthday. On February 27th, without warning, Jews were snatched off the streets and from workplaces, and held in buildings temporarily before being loaded onto trains to be sent to their deaths in the concentration camps. This was the fate of nearly 6,000 Jews in Berlin. Another group, the 1,800 Jews with non-Jewish German wives, were rounded up according to a separate list, and held in a building on Rosenstrasse, Rose Street. The German women, upon discovering their husbands were gone, raced to the location and began an impromptu unarmed, nonviolent demonstration demanding the release of their husbands. For a full week, hundreds to a thousand women protested night and day, defying orders to disperse, withstanding threats of being shot to death. The German Gestapo office sat within earshot; the women persisted despite the danger. On March 6th, as thousands of other Jews were being sent to Auschwitz, the husbands of these Berlin women were released. Even the thirty-eight who had already been sent to the camps were returned to Berlin. It is said that the Rosenstrasse protest also halted the plans to round up the intermarried Jews in France, a change that saved thousands of lives. The German government felt that the dissent and visible signs of resistance would be detrimental at this time, and that releasing the men was easier than risking more uprisings.
Today, as Islamophobia and anti-refugee rhetoric is whipping the American populace into a frenzy of fear, we need not wait until the eleventh hour to see where this type of discrimination leads. Before politicians allow bigots to require Muslims to register (like the Jews in the 1940s), or wear a symbol (like the yellow star), or be deported to concentration camps, let us take a chapter out of German history – the Rosenstrasse chapter, that is. If the threatened registry appears, let us protest it, or sign it en masse as an act of protest. If the parallel to the yellow star occurs, let us all, as citizens, resist the labels unanimously. Let us remember the words of Martin Niemöller:
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me
And if they come for any of us, let us be prepared to use nonviolent action, like the women of Berlin, to rescue not just our loved ones, but all of our human brothers and sisters, so that the tragedy of the Holocaust can never be repeated. With courage and preparation and knowledge, we can stop the dangerous cycle of history from repeating in the context of our contemporary lives.

Norwegian Teachers' Defense of Education
In April 1940, the Nazis invaded Norway and occupied the country. In 1942, as part of an attempt to implement a fascist curriculum in the schools, Minister-President Vidkun Quisling, a Norwegian collaborator, disbanded the existing teachers' union and required all teachers to register with the new Norwegian Teachers' Union by February 5th. Between 8,000-10,000 of Norway's 12,000 teachers responded by signing a letter of refusal to cooperate. The Quisling government panicked and closed the schools, sending the children home to their parents. 200,000 of these annoyed parents wrote letters of protest to the government. Norwegian teachers began to hold classes in secret, in defiance of orders. The government ordered the arrest of a thousand teachers, five hundred of whom were sent to a prison camp in the Arctic.
As the trainloads of teachers were shipped north, students and families gathered along the tracks, singing and offering food to the teachers as they passed. Once in prison, the teachers formed choirs and offered lectures to one another. The government tried numerous intimidation tactics, but the strike continued. On November 4th, 1942, the Quisling government released all the teachers and abandoned their earlier plans. The Norwegian teachers, through nonviolent resistance, had defended their youth from being subjected to fascist curriculum, and protected Norway from sliding into a fascist state.
The Norwegian Teachers' Defense of Education offers pearls of strategic wisdom for us as we see a rise of bigotry and hatred in the United States. Resist and organize amongst your professional colleagues. It was not individual action that produced such a successful campaign, but rather collective action through an entire profession, supported by students and parents. As we see a rise of fear and hatred, look carefully at the intersection of your profession and cultural indoctrination. Perhaps this is a place where a line of resistance can form. Churches, schools, media, universities, and large institutions are all places to address and resist the dangerous slide toward fear-based bigotry and hatred. Talk with one another, initiate conversations, prepare strategies, share stories like this one, and ideas for how your profession might take a stand together. Like the Norwegian teachers, each of us – in our profession and personal lives – forms a line of defense in the heart of our culture. Here we can wage nonviolent struggle for compassion, respect, equality, and dignity.

Denmark Saves 7,220 Jewish Citizens
The Danish resistance to Nazi occupation contains many chapters, each with dazzling tactics and creative solutions. There is none more jaw dropping, however, than the Danish people's rescue of 7,220 of their 7,800 Jews. On September 28th, 1943, Nazi occupation forces intended to arrest the entire Jewish population of Denmark and transport them to concentration camps. Word of the plan leaked, however, and thousands of Danes hid the Jews in their homes. Fishermen ferried the Jews across the ocean to nearby Sweden, saving all but a few hundred people.
The rescue was facilitated by a few factors: a German diplomat, Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz, not only leaked the warning of the round-up, he had also attempted earlier to secure asylum for the Danish Jews in Sweden. The Jewish population of Denmark was held in high regard, and fully integrated into society. The Nazis' earlier attempts to discriminate against the Jews had been roundly rebuffed by the Danes. When the orders of the round-up occurred, Danish citizens saw it as an affront to all Danes, and mobilized to protect their fellow countrymen and women.
The question this raises for us, as American citizens, is would we do the same? During World War II, we allowed our fellow citizens of Japanese descent to be interred in camps. We allow our political figures to spout anti-Muslim rhetoric and threaten to put all Muslims and refugees in camps. When our turn comes, will we stand up with organized nonviolent action and protect our fellow human beings? Do we have in our hearts, the greatness of spirit demonstrated by the Danes?
And if not, let us begin the work of changing our culture. Let us assert the values of human dignity, our shared humanity, human rights and civil rights. In conversation, writing, on the radio, and in our actions, we must put forth the values for which we stand. Only then, when the moment of crisis comes, can we be assured that our populace will respond in a way that will withstand the critique of history.

Flashback: Will The Real Hillary Clinton Please Stand Up?
by Jeff Dunetz | Oct 1, 2016 | Politics
Guest Post By Howard Portnoy
The title of this post is a tagline that was featured in a popular TV game show that ran from 1956 to 1968. In the show, called "To Tell the Truth," a panel of celebrities was presented with three contestants, all claiming to be the same person. Two of them (naturally) were imposters and were coached. The object of the game was to figure out which contestant was telling the truth.
That show (which is now back on the air in cable syndication) came to mind when I watched the interview below from another vintage show, "PrimeTime Live," which premiered on ABC in 1989. The interviewee from this 1992 broadcast is immediately recognizable as the wife of Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, who later that year would win the presidency.
You might not recognize the voice of Mrs. Clinton because she affects a southern accent, which is as unconvincing as the black accent she has used on other occasions.
But listen not to her speech patterns but to her words, beginning at approximately 3:18. The person speaking at that point is not Hillary Clinton, but Gennifer Flowers, who confesses to having had a 12-year romance with Clinton's husband:
Notice Clinton's easy dismissal of Flowers, not only as a liar who was well-paid for the story of her affair with the governor. She also derides Flowers, a model, as a "failed cabaret singer who doesn't even have much of a résumé to fall back on…. You know, that's the daughter of Willie Horton, as far as I'm concerned — the same kind of attempt to keep the real issues of this country out of the mainstream debate."
Willie Horton, should the name be unfamiliar, was a convicted felon, serving a life sentence for murder in a Massachusetts prison. But Horton's real claim to fame is that he was the beneficiary of a weekend furlough program, from which he failed to return, instead committing armed robbery, assault, and rape.
It should also be noted that Horton was black. It isn't immediately clear why Clinton evoked his name in assailing Flowers, but it seems like a gratuitous twofer, targeting women and blacks.
Now that she has taken Sam Donaldson's suggestion from early in the video and thrown her hat in the ring for president, she has become a champion of the rights of females and blacks. She also continues to stand by her husband … if only up to a point. Because he continues to screw everything that isn't bolted down, she has asked him to stop campaigning for her, understanding that his ongoing "dalliances" could become a distraction in this very close race.
An exasperated Hillary asked rhetorically last week why she wasn't beating Donald Trump by 50 points. When you look at her past, including her time as secretary of State and all that implies, you might ask why Trump isn't beating her by the same margin.

Isha Ambani Rises In Mukesh Ambani's Succession Plan At Reliance Industries
In the clearest hint of a succession roadmap, Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani carved out definite roles for each of his three children at the annual general meeting of his $220bn (£193bn) retail-to-refining conglomerate in August.
Mr. Ambani's older twins, Akash and Isha Ambani will lead Reliance Industries Ltd's telecommunications and retail businesses respectively, while his youngest son Anant Ambani is being groomed to handle new energy.
Corporate India's most anticipated leadership transition - Reliance is one of India's most valuable companies by market valuation - has been in the works for some time. The particulars of the impending wealth transfer are sketchy at the moment, and largely in the realm of speculation.
Mr. Ambani's desire to avoid repeating history is palpable: the acrimonious inheritance battle he waged with his younger brother 20 years ago after their father died without leaving a will.
Isha Ambani's leadership role also contrasts sharply with the largely peripheral role that other women in her family have previously played in the core business.
There has been a generational shift in the number of prominent Indian industrial families bringing women into the corner office over the last two decades, though analysts say there is still a long way to go.
Mr. Ambani, 65, is actively involved in Reliance's operations as chairman and managing director, and he could have bought more time before thrusting his children into the spotlight.
However, he represents a "new generation of family business leaders" in Asia who have witnessed succession feuds and want to take "every step possible" to make the journey for their children smooth.

2018 showed us that the trend for low and no alcohol is not a passing phase but it's here to stay. Younger drinkers who have traditionally come into the alcohol category are now faced with concerns about health and well-being. The amount of 16-24 year-olds that identify as teetotal has risen from 18% in 2005 to 29%, according to a recent University College London study.
So how can we breathe new life into wine while responding to the consumer need for reduced sugar, smaller formats, lower calories and ingredients that have added benefits?
NO/LO variants are no longer pushed to the bottom shelf, they take significant space in the fixture. We also need reduced sugar, smaller formats, lower calories and ingredients that have added health benefits – gin has done this effectively by highlighting 'medicinal' botanicals, such as pink peppercorns and rosemary.
The nascent use of technology in the wine category has seen some interesting wine and food matching apps with brands such as 19 Crimes using AR (Augmented Reality) to engage in the labels. Use of technology such as AR, personalisation and apps for gifting and in-store information is not fully exploited yet, but will become more significant as consumers demand more information about the products they are consuming.
Consumers repeatedly tell us in our Kingsland WinePRO consumer research that taste is number one in importance when purchasing a wine. The more we can identify unique, interesting and delicious flavour combinations, that bring genuine benefits to health as well as fantastic taste, the better.
The trend, as identified by Kantar, describes massive growth in in-home entertaining and self-indulgence Netflix evenings, so how can products in our industry exploit this more?
We have seen what has happened to Gin. The revival of this classic white spirit is just the start. Other categories and products showing areas of growth and engagement are Port, sherry, vermouth and rum. Lillet (a classic French wine-based aperitif) has seen significant focus recently with increased online presence and influencer outreach.
It's all about the aspirational lifestyle characterised by the serve. All sponsored posts include a serve or recipe idea and the positioning is challenging the 'go-to' aperitifs Pimms and Aperol. On Instagram #Lillet has 75k tags and they use fashion and lifestyle influencers to engage a younger audience, along with sponsorship and in-store events with Topshop. This is surely a rallying cry for traditional wine varietals to contemporise.
These were once the last stop option when other core countries had a glut, but now credible, award-winning wines are coming from Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, etc. These categories are in growth and I would expect to see more listings of products from this area in the future.

Richard Anderson: From MGM to the 6 million dollar man
Nick Thomas
Veteran actor Richard Anderson appeared in over 200 films and television shows throughout his career. But for Anderson, who turned 89 on Aug. 8, it's not just his well-known role as security chief Oscar Goldman in "The Six Million Dollar Man" that elicits fan questions during the classic film/TV convention circuit.
"They always ask about 'Curse of the Faceless Man,' which we made in 1958 and was my first lead film role," said Anderson from Los Angeles. "It was a low-budget remake of 'The Mummy' two decades earlier, featuring a stone monster rather than one wrapped in bandages. We spent a week filming in a big old house on the way up to Malibu – the house is still there. I really just learned my lines and tried not to bump into the furniture. The only movie poster I have hanging in my home is from that film."
Two years earlier, Anderson appeared in the venerable sci-fi classic "Forbidden Planet."
"That was the last of two dozen movies I did for MGM," he said. "Sci-fi feature films were rather new in 1956, and it changed the genre forever. The whole movie was shot on one stage and as filming progressed, the studio gave us more money and the best production staff. We turned out a first-class movie that's still impressive today."
Born in New Jersey and raised in New York, young Dick and his brother Bob were weekend matinee regulars at the 96th Street Motion Picture Theater, absorbed in their favorite films: westerns.
"The stories had heroes and happy endings – I really wanted to live in that world," recalled Anderson. "I was especially drawn to one actor who never said much, but used his body language to tell the story. That was Gary Cooper, who inspired me to get into the business."
Anderson never worked with Cooper, but the two met years later at a Mexico City film festival. "When I asked him about acting he said he didn't know much about it, and advised me to never get caught doing it!"
He also co-starred with other greats, including Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable.
"Tracy would mumble his lines in rehearsal, then do it perfectly in one take when the camera rolled," he recalled. "Gable left work at 5 o'clock; it was in his contract. But on the set, he worked very hard rehearsing and made it look easy on the screen."
More anecdotes from Anderson's career appear in his May biography, co-written with Alan Doshna, "Richard Anderson: At Last ... A Memoir, From the Golden Years of M-G-M to The Six Million Dollar Man to Now" (see bionik.com).
Anderson wasn't the only celebrity in his family.
"Katharine, my second wife, was the daughter of Norma Shearer and MGM producer Irving Thalberg," noted Anderson.
Richard and Katharine were married in 1961, so he never knew Thalberg who died in 1936, but says he was close to his mother-in-law.
"Norma Shearer was very nice to me; she liked and respected me," he said. "She gave us a party when we were married – Judy Garland was one of the guests. Norma had a house on the beach and when we visited her she would talk about her career and how she 'had it all' at one time. She won a Best Actress Oscar ('The Divorcee' in 1930) and we still have it."
While Shearer found fame in film and retired just as television was coming of age in the early '40s, it was TV that made Anderson a household name when "The Six Million Man" exploded on the small screen in 1974 for five seasons.
"It was a show that brought back the hero and happy endings, so I told my agent I wanted the part even if I had to pay the producers to let me do it!" laughed Anderson, who also narrated the show's famous introduction.
"'Gentlemen, we can rebuild him ..... we have the technology,'" quoted Anderson. "You can't imagine how many fans come up to me and say that. It's the best TV show introduction ever written."
Anderson continued his Oscar Goldman role in three seasons of "The Bionic Woman," becoming one of the few actors to portray the same character in different television series.
And on Sept. 17, Anderson will be a guest at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Churchville, Maryland, where he can expect more questions from admirers, including why he took so long to write a book about his life.
"My answer is simple," he says. "I'm still living it."

10 Top Tourist Attractions in London
Last updated on October 1, 2020 in UK 7 Comments
Yes, London. You know: fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary Poppins… London! (movie quote) Noisy, vibrant and multicultural, London is one of the largest cities in the world with a population of 8 million people. It is a leading global city of culture, fashion, finance, politics and trade and remains one of the most visited city by international tourists in the world. The city contains many famous landmarks and getting around is easy. The famous London Underground, also known as the Tube, is one of the most extensive subway networks in the world. An overview of the top tourist attractions in London.
10. Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is a large, mainly Gothic, church located just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is one of the most notable religious buildings in the United Kingdom and is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. Most of the present building dates from 1245 to 1272 when Henry III decided to rebuild an old abbey in the Gothic style. The building was later significantly expanded: the Chapel of Henry VII was added between 1503 and 1512, while the two West Front Towers date from 1745.
9. Palace of Westminster
The Palace of Westminster (more widely known as the Houses of Parliament) is the seat of Parliament in the United Kingdom. The present building largely dates from the 19th century when it was rebuilt following a fire in a splendid example of Victorian neo-Gothic architecture. The House of Commons (elected Members of Parliament) is located to the north of the building and is decorated with green leather upholstery, and the House of Lords is located to the south and decorated with red leather upholstery.
8. St. Paul's Cathedral
Built in the 17th century, St. Paul's Cathedral is one of London's most famous and most recognizable sights. The Cathedral was heroically saved by firefighters when it was bombed during the Second World War. Its impressive dome was inspired by St Peter's Basilica in Rome and rises 118 meters (365 ft) to the cross at its summit. It was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1962, and its dome is also among the highest in the world.
7. Trafalgar Square
photo/Robin Stevens
Trafalgar Square is a large city square commemorating Lord Horatio Nelson's victory against Napoleon's navy at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The central monument within the square is a single tall column on which the figure of Nelson stands gazing over London. His monument is surrounded by four colossal lions and a series of large fountains. Much more than just an open plaza, Trafalgar Square is one of the most famous city squares in the world and has become a social and political location for tourists and Londoners alike.
6. Tower of London
wikipedia/Rafa Esteve
Now home to the British Crown Jewels, the Tower of London was built by William the Conqueror in 1078. It served as a prison from 1100 to the mid twentieth century. This has led to the phrase "sent to the Tower", meaning imprisoned. Famous prisoners include Sir Thomas More, King Henry VI, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard (wives of King Henry VIII) and Rudolph Hess. Today the Tower of London is one of the most popular London tourist attractions.
5. London Eye

Situated on the banks of the River Thames, the London Eye is an enormous, 135 meter (443 ft) high observation wheel carrying 32 exterior glass-walled capsules. It offers fantastic views over central London. The wheel does not usually stop to take on passengers as the rotation rate is slow enough to allow passengers to walk on and off the moving capsules at ground level. It is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom, visited by over 3.5 million people annually.
4. Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is the main residence of Queen Elizabeth II although it is owned by the British state and is not the monarch's personal property. The Forecourt of Buckingham Palace is used for Changing of the Guard, a major ceremony and tourist attraction. Between May and July the guard changes each morning and on alternate days the rest of the year. Since 1993, the palace's state rooms have been open to the public during August and September.
3. British Museum

Established in 1753, the British Museum in London is a museum of human history and culture. Its collections, which number more than seven million objects, are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world and originate from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present. Objects include the Rosetta Stone, the key to the deciphering of hieroglyphs, and the largest collection of mummies outside of Egypt.
2. Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name and has become an iconic symbol of London. Construction started in 1886 and took eight years to build. The bridge consists of two towers which are tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways which are designed to withstand the forces of the suspended sections of the bridge.
1. Big Ben
flickr/anthony kelly
The 150 year old Big Ben Clock Tower is one of the top tourist attractions in London. The name Big Ben actually refers not to the clock tower itself, but to the 13 ton bell housed within the tower and takes its name from the man who first ordered the bell, Sir Benjamin Hall. The present-day Big Ben bell was constructed in 1858 after a first bell of 16 tons cracked irreparably two years prior. The clock has become a popular attraction and has appeared in many films. In the movie Mars Attacks! for example the Big Ben is destroyed by a UFO attack.

How do I report Qualified Education Expenses involving a 1099-Q?
You have two options with how to report your Qualified Education Expenses on Form 1099-Q.
To demonstrate, we will use the following example:
Dave received a 1099-Q for a distribution that he received from his QTP (Qualified Tuition Program). His gross distribution (box 1) was $5000 and his earnings (box 2) were $1500. Throughout the year, he paid qualifying expenses totaling $8000.
Option 1: To exclude his earnings ($1500) from being included in his income, Dave chooses to report his information as follows:
What he enters: When entering his 1099-Q, he enters his distribution and earnings in the appropriate fields. For qualified expenses paid with his 1099-Q distribution, he enters $5000. He is indicating that the full distribution went towards qualifying education expenses. Dave chooses to use the remaining expenses that he paid out-of-pocket ($3000) as a Tuition and Fees Deduction.
The result: On Dave's return, none of his QTP earnings are included as Other Income on line 8 of Schedule 1. He also receives a Tuition and Fees Deduction of $3000 on line 21.
Option 2: Dave would rather use the full amount of his expenses towards an Education Credit, and go ahead and include the earnings from his QTP ($1500) as income.
What he enters: When entering his 1099-Q, he enters his distribution and earnings in the appropriate fields. For qualified expenses paid with his 1099-Q distribution, he enters $0. He doesn't want to use any of his expenses to exclude the 1099-Q earnings from his income. However, because the earnings were used for education expenses, they are not subject to the usual 10% penalty. To exclude these earnings from the penalty, he goes into Federal section > Other Taxes > Tax on Early Distribution and enters the earnings in the field for: "Coverdell ESAs and QTPs that are not subject to the additional tax" (Form 5329). When entering his Education Credit, for Qualified Expenses, he enters the full $8000 to receive a larger education credit.
The result: On Dave's return, his QTP earnings are reported as income on line 8, Schedule1 as Other Income. Because all of his expenses were allocated to his Education Credit, he receives a much larger Education Credit. Because he completed Form 5329, no additional tax penalty is calculated.
For further information, please review Form 1099-Q.

Summerslam: Brock Lesnar vs Triple H Match Preview
January 28, 2015	 All Posts, BrendenPlayz, Channel Updates	No Comments
Two former colleagues have turned into two extreme rivals, as the former member of The Authority Brock Lesnar and the leader of The Authority Triple H will face off one more time at the upcoming Summerslam PPV. At the Payback PPV, these men first met in a No Holds Barred match which saw the demise of Brock Lesnar, as Triple H managed to pin Lesnar to take the victory. But it was the incident that occurred after the match that has sparked revenge for Lesnar. Triple H continued to assault Lesnar post-match, which saw a brutal ending to a rough night for Lesnar. Subsequently, this saw him on the shelf for over two months from the hands of his former boss.
Both Triple H and Brock Lesnar ruled the landscape of the WWE on Monday Night RAW. Lesnar was the Authority's champion and Triple H had the power to ensure that his champion was well managed as Lesnar would cruise to PPV victory after victory, which saw his championship reign extend to 8 months. However, it was the treatment of Brock Lensar by Triple H when he would evidently lose the championship at Wrestlemania 30, that saw Lesnar exiled from The Authority and sent over to Smackdown. But Brock Lesnar would not leave without revenge, he would continue to appear on RAW to try and take down The Game.
Brock Lesnar would return at Money in the Bank and would make an emphatic statement by hitting a F-5 on Triple H after his WWE Championsihp match to send a statement to Triple H that he was back and he was back for vengeance. Triple H and Brock Lesnar would compete a couple of tag team matches on both RAW and Smackdown but it would be Triple H who would continue to have the last laugh with two victories of Lesnar to take his win count to 3 wins and 0 losses against Lesnar.
At Summerslam, the rematch that we have all been waiting for will finally happen. It will be Triple H vs Brock Lesnar in what is sure to be a physical match that could be the end of either of these legends careers.
Will Brock Lesnar have revenge or will Triple H keep his impressive record intact. Find out when Summerslam airs exclusively to the BrendenPlayz youtube channel.

HomeBusinessPay Czar Lets a Big One Slip with GMAC
Pay Czar Lets a Big One Slip with GMAC
March 2, 2010 Ockham Research
The new CEO of thrice-bailed-out lender GMAC pulled down $1.2 million in pay and stock options for the 45 days he worked in 2009. Bloomberg observed that on an annual basis GMAC's Michael Carpenter was paid roughly the equivalent of Goldman Sachs' (GS) Lloyd Blankfein, who runs the most profitable securities firm in US history and adeptly managed through the recession.
GMAC Inc., the auto and home lender that hasn't posted a profit since 2008, gave Chief Executive Officer Michael Carpenter a pay package rivaling that of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who runs the most profitable securities firm in U.S. history.
GMAC paid Carpenter about $1.2 million in salary and restricted stock for the month-and-a-half he was employed by the Detroit-based company last year, equivalent to full-year pay of $9.5 million, according to a regulatory filing yesterday. Goldman Sachs paid Blankfein $9.6 million for 2009. — Bloomberg.com 3/2/2010
A spokeswoman for GMAC defended the compensation saying that Carpenter's pay is justified by his experience with large, complex financial services companies, such as Citigroup (C). However, that explanation does not hold water for other executives at the firm who received multimillion dollar pay packages last year, including $7.7 million for Chief Risk Officer Sam Ramsey who has held his position since late 2007. It is tough to argue that he has been anything but a failure at mitigating risk, and his pay is even more mind-numbing than is Carpenter's.
Say what you want about Goldman Sachs and executive compensation, but it is much easier to understand Blankfein's pay versus Carpenter's. Goldman Sachs Group has been hugely profitable recently and shareholders have seen 85% gain in the last twelve months. They were among the earliest to repay TARP loans with interest, and thus the Obama Administration's Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg has much less say in executive compensation.
In contrast, GMAC has relied on three separate government bailouts totaling more than $17 billion due to the credit crunch and its exposure to mortgage and car loans. They have reported a loss in each quarter since the fourth quarter of 2008, and the largest of those (loss of $3.9 billion) came in the most recent quarter. To be fair, Mr. Carpenter was tapped to lead the turnaround and joined GMAC well into their struggles in mid-November 2009. If he is able to engineer a turnaround at GMAC and repay the taxpayers, he will certainly justify his pay. However, at this point, he must understand that he is under the microscope and to take such a high salary so early in his tenure is not a savvy public relations move.

Police continue to disregard the communities priorities and well-being.
At least 2 cannabis dispensaries in Regina are currently being raided.
This is a continuation of Regina Police Chief Evan Bray's crackdown on cannabis dispensaries in the city, happening in contrast with the expressed wishes of most citizens who have supported legalization for decades. It is also happening despite a rise in overdoses of opiates, particularily Fentenyl, which the police seem to be doing little or nothing about, and also a continuing wave of unsolved violent crimes, leading many to condemn Chief Bray's priorities.
Best Bud's Dispensary, located at 1355 Cornwall St in Regina, Saskatchewan posted on social media that they are currently being raided by the Regina Police Service.
"Our shop is being raided right now by RPS. They picking our cupboards clean of patients meds and starting a public health crisis. Please show up and show your support."
The Cannagreen Regina Dispensary at 2139 Albert St. was also raided at about the same time.
