Signal's protocol gets glowing reviews in first security audit
Signal is widely considered the gold standard of secure encrypted messaging apps but it hasn't been subject to a fine-toothed audit. What did researchers have to say?

Signal is widely considered the gold standard of secure encrypted messaging apps but, until today, it hasn't been subject to a fine-toothed audit. But the technology passed a major test Tuesday after an international team of security researchers gave the messaging platform's security glowing reviews in its first ever formal security audit.
Researchers from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, Queensland University of Technology in Australia and McMaster University in Canada gave the messaging application a fervent thumbs up.
"We have found no major flaws in its design, which is very encouraging," the five researchers wrote. They call on researchers to continue the testing and analysis of Signal.
Launched two years ago, Signal has long been heralded by security experts around the world. Edward Snowden recommends it and Matthew Green, a prominent cryptographer at Johns Hopkins University, says the high quality of the code makes him drool in delight.
The technology behind Signal underlies encryption in products from Facebook, WhatsApp, and Google, reaching over 1 billion individuals, most of whom don't even know it. The Signal app itself has been downloaded 5 million times in the Google Play store (Apple's App Store doesn't publish numbers). It's used widely by journalists, dissidents and government officials around the world. After coming under intense and prolonged phishing attacks, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign is now using Signal for communications.
Signal is developed by Open Whisper Systems, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that, like many prominent internet freedom technologies, largely received its funding from U.S. government grants. Work with Facebook and Google may mean more money for the organization, but the exact terms of those partnerships remain unknown.
In addition to protecting communications, Signal collects vanishingly small amounts of data on its users. That means that when a government requests data from the company, they don't find much. Earlier this month, an FBI subpoena and gag order revealed a Signal user's account creation date and its last connection date.
Signal's no-compromise encryption is at the center of a global debate on privacy and security. The problem, which FBI Director James Comey calls "Going Dark," is that law enforcement and intelligence agencies will be locked out of communications and data that might otherwise aid their investigations. A vast consensus of cybersecurity experts argue that strong encryption which cannot be compromised is essential to the internet's security, increasingly due to the threats from hackers looking to take data on everything from national secrets to personal data.
Strong encryption has taken off after revelations of mass surveillance by the world's governments and news of continued devastating hacks against private individuals, some of the world's biggest companies, and everyone in between. Since Edward Snowden's leaks about the National Security Agency's surveillance programs, the average internet user has become vastly more privacy-aware.
For a long time, consumers had to make a choice: Secure or easy. Early instant messaging or texting programs were easy to use but vastly insecure. Earlier security programs, like those based on PGP email security, were powerful but complex and intimidating. Signal represents a new era in security products where consumers can, to a significant extent, have the best of both worlds.
In just the last few weeks, Signal's developers added GIF searching to the product. Although the decision raised some eyebrows, the motivation is clear: Make the product better, add more fun features, and more "normal" people will want to use it. All of sudden, you have many millions of users happily downloading a veritably secure messaging app. All it took was a few good GIFs.

Elon Musk wants encrypted messaging for Twitter. It might not be that simple.
Experts are skeptical that Musk can execute while addressing the serious safety concerns that a move to encrypted messaging entails.

The transport departments of Odisha and Bihar have renewed the agreement to operate direct bus services passing through Jharkhand on 33 routes covering almost 21867 kilometres.
In the earlier agreement signed between the two eastern states, the public transport services were in operation on 15 routes covering a total distance of 9,276 kilometres, the State Transport Authority (STA) officials said on Saturday.
Services on the new and longer routes will boost connectivity of pilgrim and tourism centres besides the places of educational importance of the two states.
With a new agreement in place, people commuting to Patna, Bihar Sharif, Deoghar, Gaya, Aurangabad, Darbhanga, Rajgir, Bhagalpur, Buxer, Siwan, Aara, Hajipur, Chapara and Nawada from different parts of Odisha including Puri, Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Baripada, Balasore, Rourkela, Sambalpur, Sundergarh and many other places will be immensely benefited, STA said.
"As per the new agreement Odisha buses will cover 17,611 km in Bihar while Bihar buses will cover 8784 km in Odisha. The buses will ply via Jharkhand covering a distance of 8032 km in the state. This is a big step towards facilitating road transport in the state. The agreement between the transport departments of Bihar and Odisha would also help in strengthening the cultural roots." Brajabandhu Bhol, Secretary, State Transport Authority, Odisha said while shedding light on the agreement.
The new inter-state agreement with Bihar will also open the door for new inter-state bus permits. With the opening up of new routes, around 100 permits and trips will be accorded approval in both the states, the official said.
Talks for similar agreements with West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are also in advance stage, he added.

Various writings on experiences of Women's Liberation, Gay Liberation and other political activism
Music, feminism, archiving

The Women's Liberation Music Archive has been running since 2010, thanks to everyone who has worked on, contributed and donated to it – much gratitude to them all. It is an independent, not-for-profit voluntary project documenting and celebrating the wealth and diversity of the feminist music-making of the 1970s and 80s. We hope it is a useful resource, demonstrating the importance of this music in the political and social context of that era, and that it complements the work of other projects such as the Feminist Archive North and South, the Feminist Library, Glasgow Women's Library, Unfinished Histories, etc .
As in other social movements and political struggles, cultural activism was a major part of the Women's Liberation Movement that began in the late 1960s. In a great burgeoning of creativity, feminists fused artistic activities with politics to develop and express feminist ideas. Women's music, film and theatre groups, art and theatre proliferated throughout the 1970s and 80s. Feminist bands, musicians and related projects are archived in a collection of written and oral histories and memorabilia. This includes photographs, videos, recordings, gig lists, lyrics and musical scores, press clippings, flyers, posters, weblinks and manifestos that testify to the creativity of the Women's Liberation Movement.

As a contribution to debates on the archiving of feminist history I wrote the article below, which was published in the radical feminist journal Trouble and Strife:
http://www.troubleandstrife.org/2016/08/whose-story-is-it-anyway/
Whose Story Is It Anyway? Feminism, Archiving and Accountability
'The stewardship of feminism's collective memory raises all kinds of ethical questions. Can our approach be based on trust alone? Frankie Green shares some thoughts on feminism, archiving and accountability.
"No need to hear your voice when I can talk about you better than you can speak about yourself. No need to hear your voice. Only tell me about your pain. I want to know your story. And then I will tell it back to you in a new way. Tell it back to you in such a way that it has become mine, my own. Re-writing you, I write myself anew. I am still author, authority. I am still the colonizer, the speaking subject, and you are now at the center of my talk." (bell hooks, Yearning: Race, Gender and Cultural Politics).
The context in which bell hooks writes is very different from mine. Yet her words resonate strongly with me, illuminating some questions I want to explore here.
Archiving the history of the WLM is well-established, as we who experienced that era believe it crucial to ensure that our movement is not lost to history. The importance of taking this task seriously has been elucidated by Jalna Hanmer, and many have worked tirelessly on collecting and cataloguing information, making it available to new generations of activists, students and historians. Our collections provide insights into the aims, achievements and processes of the movement and show how it was sustained at grassroots level by thousands of women – many of whom did not become well-known, since they never attracted the attention of the mainstream media.
We want these archives to be seen not as reliquaries, but as resources in our ongoing struggles, useful in the continuing quest for the ending of women's oppression. As I said when speaking on behalf of the Women's Liberation Music Archive (WLMA) in the workshop 'Archives and Activism: Knowing our Past – Creating our Future' at 2014's Feminism in London conference, they 'are not about preserving history in aspic, or rosy-tinted nostalgia.' WLMA documents feminist music-making in the 1970s/80s, and is the fruit of discussions among musicians and activists who generously donated time, money and material in the belief that it's important to illustrate the role of culture within political movements. It complements other feminist archives.
But while there's a consensus that such archiving is important, I haven't come across much discussion regarding the subsequent use made of these archives. I have become interested in issues raised by this usage, the value created by it and the process of its production.
Ethics and interpretation
The ethics of archiving appear self-evident: responsibility to those who make the collections possible; respect for the holdings and their provenance, integrity and placement; adherence to written or verbal agreements between parties; good practice regarding a professional standard of behavior (including amongst amateurs/volunteers). Such codes of conduct are affirmed by various professional bodies, including the International Council on Archives, which states:
archivists should not collect original documents or participate in any commerce of documents on their own behalf. They should avoid activities that could create in the public mind the appearance of a conflict of interest
What recourse is available to us if such codes are not adhered to? Are there additional, specific principles that feminists need to incorporate into our practice? These questions point to some wider issues relating to the interpretation of feminist history.
In her 1966 essay Against Interpretation, Susan Sontag said that interpretationpresupposes a discrepancy between the clear meaning of the text and the demands of (later) readers. It seeks to resolve that discrepancy … Interpretation is a radical strategy for conserving an old text, which is thought too precious to repudiate, by revamping it. The interpreter, without actually erasing or rewriting the text, is altering it. But he [sic] can't admit to doing this. He claims to be only making it intelligible, by disclosing its true meaning.
Interpretation creates another layer of temporality and text. Print media acquire legitimacy, being mostly less ephemeral than other forms, bestowing a mantle of authority on writers. Published books acquire credibility, as anyone who's challenged the texts used on Women's Studies courses knows. Myriad implications are involved, meaning that this creation of a secondary layer of theorizing and analysis is worth attention. How is this creation achieved? What does it leave out or invisibilise? What checks can be used for verification of data presented? And the age-old question: cui bono – who benefits?
It is unfortunate that amongst people who have contributed oral or written histories to collections, the experience of having their work or words misrepresented or quoted without permission seems to be quite common. I know of some who feel exploited by researchers who have behaved less than honourably or betrayed the trust placed in them. Donors have cooperated with authors only to find the ensuing publications disappointing or inaccurate. If people have not been consulted or if they feel their own narratives have been taken from them, they are left with a sense of disillusionment.
Disputes frequently arise, and enter public discourse; one recent example concerned a book about the IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands which was produced without consulting his family about the accuracy of the portrayal of his life. The cultural appropriation of people's history on a greater scale is a longstanding unethical practice affecting indigenous people, exemplified by the use of sacred Native American myths in Peter Nabokov's publication ofThe Origin Myth of Acoma Pueblo.The issue of ownership arises, as in the question asked of me by a woman who found herself quoted in a book by an author who had misled her: 'whose story is it anyway?'
Claiming our own histories
Many of us have had to assert a claim to our own histories. It is understood that memory may be fallible, narrators unreliable and, of course, the field of oral history contains many pitfalls. The standpoint of personal experience has been challenged for its claim to epistemological privilege and authenticity. Nevertheless, there is significance in the fact of having been there: of being present at, participating in and causing actual events to which we ascribe meaning and of which we have clear recollections. Having our stories regurgitated in an unrecognisable form is a galling experience. As a mature student in the 1980s, I found myself disagreeing with tutors confident they knew the truth about WLM events of the previous decade – events in which I had taken part. Lived experience lost out in competition with what had become received wisdom. It is disorientatingly unpleasant to feel like a ghost in one's own story; a kind of cognitive dissonance occurs.
Those of us from that era hope to ensure our stories are accurately represented. Which begs the question of whether we need others to tell those stories and republish them into the world. We were there; we are the experts in our own lives. Do we need interpretation to 'disclose … true meaning'? And what do we do if an interpreter fails to consult us or has an outlook with which we disagree?
Perhaps the campaigning maxim of 'nothing about us without us' needs to be borne in mind. Many people now insist on a caveat ensuring that they retain the right of veto, that they see what is written about them prior to publication. To provide that option may seem a matter of common courtesy, but it does not always happen. In such cases, as with an unauthorised biography, readers need to be aware of issues arising from the lack of consent and that the veracity or reliability of the account may be in question. Editors and publishers rely on their authors acting in good faith, but perhaps they also have a pro-active role to play. Do authors have a responsibility to inform people and organisations that they are being written about? How do our moral criteria as feminists differ from general notions of ethics, if at all?
Of course, the meaning of stories cannot be controlled, and it is not necessarily desirable that they be so; we need to be able to let them go, and hope they will be treated ethically. We can disassociate ourselves if an account is found to be inaccurate or misleading, though of course pre-empting such a thing happening in the first place would be preferable. Feminist projects frequently depend on goodwill; it is to be hoped that negative examples are rare.
We can adopt guidelines, codes, standards of behavior, but the question of enforceability remains. How do we resolve moral dilemmas, rather than rigidly policing, if we wish to work non-hierarchically? How can problems be addressed, not to punish, but to prevent unethical behaviour, and in a professional way, taking care to avoid a descent into trolling and trashing?
Academic careers and capital can be built on the work of others, both original creators of material and those who have collected and curated it. There is nothing inherently wrong with this; indeed, the desired outcome of making material publicly available is that users will find it valuable for exploration and exegesis. WLMA has constructive interactions with students who find us useful, as we hoped. There's reciprocity involved and it's positive when they make their writings available to us in turn to be archived. Less responsible researchers can cause disillusionment. Perhaps the need for funding can be corrupting, in the scramble to secure it corners are cut, principles relaxed. We expect exploitation from the capitalist marketplace ripping the world apart as it monetises every last thing, but can only hope it does not prevail in the sphere of feminism.
To see one's writings reprinted or actions written about, when one would not wish them to be so used, is to feel colonised. Under colonisation, a territory's original inhabitants' inherent value is less than that which they produce for those taking it over. This throws into sharp relief the difference between intrinsic worth – dignity, rights, inalienable personhood – and extractable, appropriated value. Attitudinally, it's like the difference between respect and contempt, care and indifference. The momentum that carries colonisers along normalizes their actions, but they make conscious choices for which they are responsible.
A coloniser likes to take over not simply a terrain's resources and the labour of the inhabitants, but control of the narrative, inscribing their own being into the story that is already there. Setting themselves up as expert and writing in an ostensibly authoritative manner allows disregard for the subjectivity of the people of whom they write. The colonised subject struggles then not only to regain material control but for recognition of more nebulous aspects of the problem: attachment to their history and culture, the personal meaning of an era in a lifetime – the emotions which inform their resistance against exploitation.
The coloniser also casts themselves as the discoverer, intrepid explorer opening up unknown realms, an academic maverick boldly going where no researcher has gone before. For the people who are already there of course this knowledge is not new, as they are already know it, indeed created it. Sometimes the person already there is friendly, not sceptical, having no reason for suspicion, only later regretting the openness which facilitated their own exploitation. Then their resistance to being taken over is an obstructive nuisance; they have the temerity to be insufficiently grateful.
Feminists are not a dispossessed ethnic group, our memories or memorabilia are not sacred texts or artefacts, our narratives are not arcane. But it can widen our debate to consider different ways of regarding intellectual property ownership that co-exist in the world. There are models which augment the western legal one regarding protocols, wherein the less technical aspects are valued, elements harder to quantify – intangibles like respect, trust, integrity. Publicly available material can be used under the principle of Fair Use, but that does not grant license to plunder it at will regardless of people's feelings and wishes. Having no compunction about assuming an entitlement within such narrow strictures, leaving out these other factors, would be self-servingly convenient. Challenging the right assumed by Nabokov and other white authors to retell Acoma Pueblo stories, Fred S. Vallo Sr., discussing cultural property rights, concludes that 'we like to tell our own story. Let us do it.'
The contents of archives can be viewed as part of what Bernard Steigler has conceptualized as constituting the 'already-there', using a theoretical framework drawn on, for instance, by Deborah Withers in the book Feminism, Digital Culture and the Politics of Transmission. But however useful such analyses may be, in relation to the documentation of feminist history perhaps what needs to take priority is the 'still-here': us. Real women engaged in active processes of being, women who embody the political consciousness of that time, who inhabited the 'structures of feeling' of its lived experience, to borrow Raymond Williams' phrase. Though sadly some of us are no longer here, many of us are still alive and very much kicking, carrying on doing what we've always done – and archiving our own history.
I'm suggesting that setting up grassroots projects to do this work without incorporating a formal code of conduct–basing the work on trust alone–may not ensure that our history is safeguarded. Stewardship of collective memory needs to continue to be done with care, always bearing in mind the actual women with whose stories we are entrusted, with respect and transparency as guiding principles.
It would be ironic if women whose work is claimed as feminist heritage, who made possible the very context in which today's researchers work, felt the latter were careless of upsetting or alienating them. What price feminist scholarship or academic careers if they rest on the invisible labour of people who feel they have been treated unethically or indifferently? It would be nonsensical to treat people's creations as more valuable than the people themselves. If our histories, ourselves, our politics, are worth taking seriously, then surely so must be the moral parameters deployed in chronicling them.

While migration has always existed, and its consequences have always been important, few people have lived a mobile life in the history of mankind. Population immobility has recurrently been part and parcel of political strategies of social control and domination. Since the second half of the 20th century, however, the extent of geographical movements of individuals has expanded enormously. In particular, the size and scope of international travel has increased at an exponential pace. Favored by globalization and technological progress, transnationalism, initially linked to migration, has emerged as a relatively widespread phenomenon that involves a growing portion of the general population, especially, but not only, in developed countries. Mainly on the basis of research carried out in Europe, there is evidence that transnational practices tend to strengthen cosmopolitanism and the legitimacy of supranational polities (particularly the European Union [EU]), while it is less clear whether they entail denationalization. Further research is needed to improve the quality of independent and dependent variables in this area and assess the effect of international mobility and transnationalism outside the European context.

Greenwood House recently welcomed two new members to its management team: Dahlia Kang, the new director of finance, and Alan Klugman, vice president of development.
The facility in Ewing includes a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, an assisted-living community, hospice and homecare services, and kosher meals-on-wheels.
Klugman, who succeeds Lynne A. Nouvel, has spent most of his career in the Jewish federation world, first as a campaign director and financial development director and then for almost nine years as director of the Jewish Federation of the Desert in Palm Springs, Calif. He also served as national executive director of ORT America for over five years.
Klugman graduated from Connecticut College in 1978, with a BA in European and modern Israeli history, and in 1980 received a master's in social work from Yeshiva University.
In charge of fund-raising, Klugman said, "I am looking forward to expanding our base of donors greatly. I think that too many people, especially those newer to the community, don't really know what Greenwood House does and aren't really aware of the quality of healthcare we provide to seniors.
"We will be upgrading the stories we tell so more people have a deeper understanding of the wonderful work going on here," he said. He will tell the Greenwood stories at synagogues and local Jewish organizations and said he plans to strengthen the campaign structure already in place.

Slalom canoeist Chris Bowers set to compete on world stage
19-year-old will paddle for Great Britain at the World Cup final and World Championships in September
Slalom Canoeist and University of East London (UEL) sports scholar Chris Bowers is set to make waves in his sport as he embarks on the biggest month of his career.
Having qualified for the senior Great Britain team for the first time this year by winning the British Canoe Slalom Selection Series, the 19-year-old will be competing for his country at the World Cup final and World Championships this month.
After enjoying a successful season, Chris is keeping his feet firmly on the ground and making sure he focuses on the simple things ahead of the two big meets.
"For me, I'm managing my expectations," said Chris. "I haven't changed as a paddler and that's the key into maintaining this success. I just need to deliver how I deliver and the results will take care of themselves."
Chris will firstly compete at the World Cup final in La Seu d'Urgell, Spain, on September 8-10 before heading to Pau, France, for the World Championships from 27 September to 1 October.
The Accounting and Finance student explained how he has adapted his training ahead of those events, including getting in some practice runs on the course in Pau.
"I'm doing well on the water, starting to get into more of a feel of racing and getting ready to post some decent speeds," he said.
"I'm ready for racing in Spain and I'll look to carry that momentum through to the Worlds too."
Originally from Stoke on Trent, Chris joined UEL in 2016, allowing him study while training at the nearby Lee Valley White Water Centre, the home of the canoe slalom competition at the London 2012 Olympics.
This has seen Chris quickly develop into an international class paddler at senior level and he is fully appreciative of everything UEL has done for him so far.
"UEL has allowed me to focus on my training and not have to stress about university," he said. "I'll be going into the Worlds not worrying about my timetable and what I'm doing. Things have been made very flexible for me.
"I've always had a quick response with things and anything I've needed has always been delivered. I'd recommend it to anyone."

Top 13+ Best Things to Do in Branford (Connecticut)
Branford is a shoreline town located on Long Island Sound in New Haven County, Connecticut, 8 miles east of New Haven. The population was 28,026 at the 2010 census.
This historic shoreline town on Long Island Sound has more than 20 monuments on the National Register of Historic Places.
You'll see a few along the Route 146 Scenic Drive, which breaks away from the I-95 for a circuitous trip through rural and coastal Connecticut.
Drawing your gaze on the coast are the Thimble Islands, scores of little granite skerries off the atmospheric village of Stony Creek.
All but one of the islands are private but you can take an up-close look and discover their long history on a cruise.
Branford has three flourishing craft breweries, two of which we'll cover on this list, as well as New England signatures like a pick-your-own fruit farm and a historic house museum.
Let's explore the best things to do in Branford:

1. Thimble Islands
Thimble Islands
In and just beyond the natural harbour of Stony Creek there's an archipelago of more than 100 islands, some no more than a few metres across and several that are underwater at high tide.
These islands are the remnants of pink granite hilltops, submerged during the last Ice Age.
As a result, the Thimble Islands are unusually stable compared to other islands in Long Island Sound, but are also separated by remarkably deep water.

The largest island in the archipelago is Horse Island, at 17 acres and kept as an ecological laboratory by Yale University.
In all there are 82 houses across the Thimble Islands, and 14 islands have only one, while only six receive electricity via underwater cables from the shore.
Many of these properties date to the Victorian period, which only adds to the beauty of the seascapes.
2. Sailing Trips
Thimble Islands Cruise
As you'd guess navigating the waters in the Thimble Islands can be treacherous, but luckily there's a choice of companies based in Stony Creek and waiting to take you out on a voyage.
One, Thimble Islands Cruise, has been shuttling round the islands for more than 40 years and offers 45-minute narrated cruises aboard Sea Mist.
On your journey you'll learn about the archipelago's history of quarrying, shellfish farming, bootlegging and agriculture, and get to know historic personalities linked to the area like the pirate William Kidd (1654-1701). Tours depart from May to October, with hourly departures from 10:15 through 16:15 seven days a week in July and August.

3. Shore Line Trolley Museum
Shore Line Trolley Museum
The Branford Electric Railway is the Unite States' oldest trolley line to remain in service, having been laid down in 1900. One reason the line has been preserved is that as soon as it closed to regular passenger services in 1947 it became a museum line, also the oldest in the country, allowing you to ride its fleet of beautiful vintage trolleys through idyllic scenery.
The line is 1.5 miles long, and the museum's superb assemblage of vintage rolling stock can be viewed in a series of sheds.
Some of the exhibits to look out for are Horsecar 76, the oldest horse-drawn tram in the world, Third Avenue Railway System 220 (1892), the oldest functioning streetcar in the United States, and Manhattan Railway "G" (1878), the oldest surviving rapid transit car in the country.
A more recent but moving exhibit is a PATH 745 under the World Trade Center when it collapsed on 9/11. Source: The Shore Line Trolley Museum / facebook
4. Stony Creek Brewery
Stony Creek Brewery
This craft brewery is a real destination, with a stunning, front-row spot on the Branford River.
There's a deck out front, and lots of places to sit by the water at cable spool tables.
Stony Creek Brewery was a small-scale contract brand until a major revamp in 2015, when it moved into this capacious riverside location, making it the second-largest craft brewery and taproom in Connecticut.
Complemented by seasonal and off-the-wall experimental brews, there's a hardcore of lagers, sours and Stony Creek's flagship series of "Cranky" IPAs.
You can see where all the magic happens on a tour on Saturdays and Sundays (14:00 and 16:00), and there's always something going on at the relaxed taproom (open 7 days), be it live music or trivia on Tuesday nights.

5. Route 146 Scenic Drive
Route 146 Scenic Drive
When long-distance drivers want a break from the monotony of the I-95 they take this 13-mile detour through rural Branford and Guildford.
Route 146 Scenic Drive won't give you awesome mountain vistas or soaring cliffs, but instead leads you into the Connecticut countryside, by orchards, dairy farms, marinas, orchards and quaint villages with clapboard houses.
At intervals you'll find yourself by Long Island Sound, looking out on creeks, marshland and the little islands just offshore.
It's no secret that fall is a glorious time drive through New England, and you'll have lots of opportunity to step out to look for raptors circling overhead.

6. Branford Point Beach
Branford Point Beach
Branford Point juts out into the Branford River Estuary, and curled up in its western nook is a well appointed public beach.
Lifeguards are on duty here in summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and you can take lunch from the picnic area, looking across the water to Indian Neck Point.
Facing west, this little bay is also a gorgeous place to be at sunset.
The beach has running water, restrooms, changing rooms and a small playground for littler beach-goers.
7. Branford Trolley Trail
Branford Trolley Trail
The Shoreline Greenway Trail is a project still in the works.
When completed this path will be 25 miles long, through a wide variety of coastal spaces in East Haven, Branford, Guilford and Madison.
For now the route is fragmented into short walks, like the Branford Trolley Trail.
This is on a former trolley track, crossing a striking steel frame bridge over open marshland.
Take your time, and you may catch sight of shorebirds like plovers, whimbrels and sandpipers between March and October.
8. Harrison House Museum
Harrison House Museum
The Branford Historical Society owns this venerable saltbox house at 124 Main Street, and opens it up to the public for free on Saturdays from June to September.
The plot dates from the 1680, and the building's architecture will be 300 years old as of 2024. There's a lot of fine woodwork inside, in the chambered summer beams and exposed joists, and the hand-carved oak corner posts, as well as a massive hall fireplace dating back more than 250 years.
The property was restored in the mid-20th century and was decorated with period specific furniture and decor, like wooden chests crafted in Branford four-poster and rope beds, a beehive oven and historic china. Source: www.branfordhistoricalsociety.org
9. Branford Supply Pond Park
Branford Supply Pond Park
The 350-acre pond just north of the town was dammed more than a century ago to create a reserve water supply for the town.
Once you're out on the trails it can be easy to forget that you're so close to Route 1 as the woods are deep.
The paths twisting through the forest are light, well maintained and often edged with wild blueberry and raspberry bushes.
In places there are boardwalks to help you navigate the wetlands, and you can get down to the water to fish or feed the wildfowl (oats instead of bread!). The park is one of the few in Branford where dogs are allowed off-leash, but it's a good idea to keep an eye out for coyotes.
10. Rose Orchards
Rose Orchards
The Rose family has been farming the Branford area since the 17th century, and can be traced back 11 generations at their current 50-acre location.
On the farm Robert, Al and Dave Rose grow tons of produce, including apples, berries, summer fruits, tomatoes, squash, pumpkins, lettuce and a great deal more.
In spring and summer you can come to meet the ponies and goats, pick your own fruit and vegetables and indulge in homemade frozen custard, sundaes and milkshakes, all using fresh ingredients.
In fall there are hay rides, a corn and hay maze, and of course pumpkins, while the Advent season means Christmas trees, hot cider and wreaths.
The farm stand is open year round, selling all this great produce along with syrups, jellies, jams, cheeses and home-baked pies with 14 different fillings.
Buck's Grill is also open daily for satisfying breakfast grub, burgers, hot dogs, salads and sandwiches, all with farm-fresh ingredients where possible. Source: Rose Orchards / facebook
11. Stony Creek Museum
Stony Creek Museum
Before boarding a boat for the Thimble Islands you could take a moment to get in touch with the riveting history of the little coastal community of Stony Creek.
The village was born around a quarry, exploited for the pink granite that provided the foundations of the Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge, and covers the facades of iconic Manhattan skyscrapers.
On show are samples and black and white photos from the quarry, along with tools used by workers.
Together with historic fire-fighting equipment, a century-old apothecary, a collection of Sicilian puppets and artefacts relating to the Stony Creek Fife & Drum Corps, the museum will also give you context on the history and unique culture of the Thimble Islands.
Opening times are 13:00-16:00, Friday to Sunday. Source: Stony Creek Museum / facebook
12. Foote Memorial Park
Foote Memorial Park
Donated to the town in the early 1970s by the Foote family, this local park is just in from the mouth of the Branford River.
Foote Memorial Park is brimming with amenities for outdoor recreation, including a basketball court, three softball fields, a baseball field, tennis courts and a fitness trail.
If you're here with children there are separate playgrounds for wee ones and bigger kids.
Keep your ear to the ground in summer, as there's often something happening at the park, be it yoga classes, summer programmes for kids or outdoor movie screenings.
13. Thimble Island Brewing Company
Thimble Island Brewing Company
What started as a small family operation on Long Island Sound has burgeoned into the largest self-distributing microbrewery in Connecticut, with an annual output of 10,000 barrels.
Thimble Island Brewing Company has a core of six beers, led by the flagship American Amber Ale, but also featuring Coffee Stout, Thimble IPA, Thimble Lager, Ghost Island IPA and Sea Mist New England IPA.
You can take a peek behind the curtain on a guided tour on Saturdays and Sundays, while the taproom is open seven days a week, pouring pints and flights of those six main beers and all kinds of sours and seasonal brews. Source: Thimble Island Brewing Company / facebook

14. Lake Saltonstall
Lake Saltonstall
Forming a high natural boundary between Branford and East Haven to the west is Mount Saltonstall, a basalt landform rising to just under 100 metres.
This is part of the Metacomet Ridge, a long fault continuing north for 100 miles to the Massachusetts-Vermont Border, and giving rise to iconic Connecticut natural monuments like New Haven's East Rock.
At Mount Saltonstall the ridge traps a lake managed by the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority.
From one of two parking lots at Hoseley Avenue you can venture on one of the trails on the ridge's high wooded banks.
There's a fishing pier if you want to try to land the lake's plentiful bass, and the SCCRWA manages a boat rental station in the spring and summer. Source: Morrowlong / wikipedia
15. Branford Festival
Branford Festival
Across Father's Day weekend in mid-June, the Branford Festival transforms Branford Center with three days of celebrations.
Following the "raising of the flag" ceremony in front of the stately town hall and courthouse, there's a feast of live music, a mouth-watering selection of food vendors, a craft fair, a Father's Day road race, a classic car cruise and activities for kids, like rides, face painting, inflatables and lots more.
A heart-warming event on Father's Day is the selection of Father of the Year, picked on the basis of an essay-writing competition, open to local children. Source: dmbigda

StorylinesEdit
The main feud heading into Unforgiven on the SmackDown brand was between The Undertaker and Mark Henry. Their rivalry started in early 2006 when Henry's interference caused Undertaker to lose a match for the World Heavyweight Championship against Kurt Angle.[4] This culminated in a Casket match at WrestleMania 22 which Undertaker won, extending his WrestleMania winning streak to 14–0.[5] On the May 11, 2007 episode of SmackDown, Henry, who made his return from an injury he sustained in mid-2006, assaulted The Undertaker after Undertaker had retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Batista in a Steel Cage match.[6] Following the assault, Edge cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to defeat Undertaker and win the World Heavyweight Championship.[6][7] As a result, Undertaker was out of action for four months.[6][7] In August, vignettes started airing about Undertaker's return and his match with Henry at Unforgiven.[8][9][10]
John Cena as WWE Champion
The main feud on the Raw brand was between John Cena and Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. Cena had retained the title against Orton at SummerSlam.[11] The following night on Raw, Orton demanded a rematch for the title, but his request was declined by General Manager William Regal.[12] Orton proceeded his demands to Mr. McMahon, who also refused to give him a rematch unless he proved himself.[12] That night, Orton interfered in Cena's match by assaulting Cena and kicking Cena's father, who was at ringside, in the head.[13] The following week, Orton was granted a title rematch against Cena at Unforgiven.[14]
The main feud on the ECW brand was between CM Punk and Elijah Burke over the ECW Championship. The rivalry started on the September 11, 2007 episode of ECW on Sci Fi, when Burke became the number one contender to the title.[15] After the fact was revealed, Punk dropkicked Burke. Later that same night, Punk teamed up with Stevie Richards in the main event against Burke and Kevin Thorn, which saw Punk and Richards win the match.[15]
The secondary feud on the SmackDown brand was between The Great Khali, Batista and Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship. After Batista was unable to win the World Heavyweight Championship from Khali at SummerSlam,[16] he participated in a tournament in which he lost to Mysterio, the eventual winner. As a result, Mysterio got a title shot against Khali at Unforgiven.[17] On the September 7, 2007 episode of SmackDown, after Mysterio defeated Chavo Guerrero in an "I Quit" match, Khali put Mysterio in a Khali Vise Grip. Batista made the save, and as a result, he was made a part of the match, making it a Triple Threat match at Unforgiven.[18]

Before the event began, Kane defeated Kenny Dykstra in a dark match.[20]
Preliminary matchesEdit
The first match was for the ECW Championship between CM Punk and Elijah Burke. Punk won the match after pinning Burke with a rolling cradle to retain the ECW Championship.[2]
In the next match, Matt Hardy and Montel Vontavious Porter faced Deuce 'n Domino for the WWE Tag Team Championship. Deuce 'n Domino dominated early in the match and mocked the champs because of their feud over the United States Championship, which MVP held. Deuce N' Domino took advantage of Hardy and MVP's fight with each other and isolated Hardy. Hardy tossed MVP out of the ring and delivered a Twist of Fate to Deuce and pinned Deuce. In result, MVP and Matt Hardy retained the WWE Tag Team Title.[21]
The third match was between Triple H and Carlito in which Carlito could not be disqualified. Carlito took advantage of the situation as he could use any weapon. He attacked Triple H several times with steel chairs, and threw powder in his eyes. With the referee distracted, a blinded Triple H struck Carlito with a low blow followed by a Pedigree, leading to Triple H pinning Carlito to win the match.[2]
The next match was for the WWE Women's Championship between Candice Michelle and Beth Phoenix. Phoenix was in control early in the match. When Phoenix had Candice on her shoulders, Candice reversed the attack and pinned Phoenix with a crucifix. As a result, Michelle won the match, and retained the WWE Women's Championship.[22]
Main event matchesEdit
In the fifth match, The Great Khali, Batista and Rey Mysterio fought in a Triple Threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Late in the match, Mysterio performed a 619 onto Khali, and tried to score the pinfall, only for Batista to pull Mysterio off of Khali and throw him out of the ring. Batista picked Khali up and delivered a spinebuster. Batista then pinned Khali to win the World Heavyweight Championship.[23]
The next match was Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch against Paul London and Brian Kendrick for the World Tag Team Championship. Cade and Murdoch had the advantage over London and Kendrick early on. At one point, Murdoch pulled Kendrick outside the ring, over the top rope, and threw him into Cade, who performed a sitout spinebuster onto Kendrick. London tried to help his partner until Cade superplexed him over the top rope. Murdoch took the advantage and pinned Kendrick for the win. As a result, Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch retained the World Tag Team Championship.[24]
In the next match, John Cena faced Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. Cena raging entered the ring and started beating on Orton until Orton struck Cena down. Orton covered Cena, but Cena kicked out at two. Cena angrily lost control and began beating Orton. The referee Mike Chioda tried to stop Cena from continuously punching Orton, but Cena continued and was disqualified. Therefore, Orton won the match, but not the title, because titles can't change hands by disqualification. In result, John Cena retained the WWE Championship. Outside the ring, Cena put Orton in the STFU while Cena's father kicked Orton in the head the same way Orton had kicked in his head on a previous episode of Raw.[13] After the match, Jonathan Coachman booked Cena in a Last Man Standing match against Orton for the WWE Title at No Mercy.[2]
The main event was between The Undertaker and Mark Henry. During the match, Henry hit Undertaker with a series of splashes and superplexes, but Undertaker was able to continue fighting in the match. Henry put Undertaker in the bear hug but Undertaker broke the hold. In the end, Undertaker delivered a Last Ride to Henry from the top rope. Undertaker then pinned Henry to win the match.[2]
AftermathEdit
Randy Orton received the vacant WWE Championship at No Mercy
Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch continued to feud with Paul London and Brian Kendrick while Jeff Hardy got involved in a rivalry with Mr. Kennedy. At No Mercy, London and Kendrick teamed up with Hardy to take on the team of Cade, Murdoch and Kennedy in a six-man tag team match. Cade, Murdoch and Kennedy won the match after Kennedy delivered a Green Bay Plunge to London.[25] On the September 17 episode of Raw, Candice Michelle and Mickie James defeated Melina and Jillian in a tag team match. Beth Phoenix was at ringside during the match[26] At No Mercy, Candice and Phoenix had a rematch for the Women's Championship, which Phoenix won to capture the title.[27][28]
On the September 18 episode of ECW on Sci Fi, General Manager Armando Estrada announced an "Elimination Chase" to determine the number one contender for the ECW Championship at No Mercy. The first match involved Elijah Burke, Kevin Thorn, Tommy Dreamer, and Stevie Richards. Burke eliminated Richards from the Elimination Chase after pinning him.[29] In the second round, which was held on the September 25 episode of ECW on Sci Fi, Burke went on to eliminate Kevin Thorn in a Triple Threat match after pinning him.[30] On the October 2 episode of ECW on Sci Fi, Tommy Dreamer and Elijah Burke faced each other in the final match of the tournament. Dreamer won the final match after a DDT and was made the number one contender for the title until Estrada came and said that Elimination Chase was not over. He announced that Big Daddy V would be the final man in the Elimination Chase. Big Daddy V defeated Dreamer and became the number one contender to the ECW Championship.[31] At No Mercy, CM Punk defended the ECW Championship against Big Daddy V and retained the title after Big Daddy V got disqualified.[32]
On the September 21 episode of SmackDown, Michael Cole interviewed Rey Mysterio until John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) said that he would conduct the interview instead. JBL claimed that he was the best wrestler ever and insulted Mysterio. Mysterio attacked JBL and challenged him to a fight until JBL introduced Finlay as Mysterio's opponent. Finlay attacked Mysterio with a shillelagh, which started a feud between the two.[33] Finlay and Mysterio faced each other at No Mercy in a match which was fought to no contest.[34] Also on the September 21 episode of SmackDown, the new World Heavyweight Champion Batista faced Mark Henry in a non-title match which Batista won by disqualification. Henry was disqualified after The Great Khali interfered and attacked Batista. After the match, Khali performed a Khali Vise Grip on Batista and challenged him to a Punjabi Prison match for the World Heavyweight Championship.[35] At No Mercy, the two faced each other in a Punjabi Prison match for the World Heavyweight Championship, which Batista won to retain the title.[36]
John Cena and Randy Orton continued their feud over the WWE Championship, as the two were scheduled to compete in a Last Man Standing match for the title. The match, however, never occurred. On the October 1 episode of Raw, Cena defeated Mr. Kennedy in a non-title match. After the match, Orton attacked Cena and then counted to ten, which Cena was unable to answer to.[37] Cena was legitimately injured in the match, and as a result, the following night on ECW on Sci Fi, Mr. McMahon vacated the WWE Championship because Cena's right pectoral tendon was legitimately torn while executing a hip toss during his match with Kennedy.[31][38] At No Mercy, Mr. McMahon entered the ring and said that a new WWE Champion was to be crowned, and Orton was crowned as champion,[25][39] but he was challenged by Triple H for the title on the spot.[39] Triple H, however, defeated Orton to win the WWE Championship,[40][41] but later that same night, Triple H lost the title to Orton back in a Last Man Standing match after a title defense against Umaga, who he was booked to face in a standard wrestling match.[42][43][44]

Oberwappenöst ist ein Gemeindeteil der Gemeinde Kulmain sowie eine Gemarkung im östlichen Teil der Gemeinde im oberpfälzischen Landkreis Tirschenreuth.

Geografie
Das Dorf Oberwappenöst liegt im Südwesten des Fichtelgebirges, drei Kilometer nordöstlich von Kulmain. Der südliche Teil des Ortes wird von der Bahnstrecke Nürnberg–Cheb in einem Tunnel unterquert.

Geschichte
Das bayerische Urkataster zeigte Oberwappenöst in den 1810er Jahren als ein Haufendorf, das aus einem knappen Dutzend Herdstellen bestand. Mit dem bayerischen Gemeindeedikt von 1818 wurde die Ruralgemeinde Oberwappenöst gebildet, zu der die Dörfer Wernersreuth, Witzlasreuth und Wunschenberg, der Weiler Erdenweis und die Einöde Armesberg gehörten. Am 1. Mai 1978 wurde die Gemeinde im Zuge der bayerischen Gebietsreform aufgelöst: Sie wurde nahezu vollständig in die Gemeinde Kulmain eingegliedert. Die einzige Ausnahme bildete Wernersreuth, das zur Gemeinde Neusorg umgemeindet wurde.

Parker Aerospace Named Highest-Rated Mechanical or Electrical Supplier Providing Customer Service to the Aerospace MRO Market
Parker Aerospace earned high scores in customer satisfaction among aerospace MRO mechanical and electrical suppliers worldwide through an independent survey
CLEVELAND, July 23, 2020 – Parker Aerospace, a business segment of Parker Hannifin Corporation (NYSE: PH), the global leader in motion and control technologies, today announced that it has received the top score in airline customer satisfaction among maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) mechanical and electrical suppliers worldwide. The findings come from the third annual Air Transport Aftermarket Customer Satisfaction Survey conducted by Inside MRO, Air Transport World, and AeroDynamic Advisory.
Of the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) ranked, only seven logged strong satisfaction scores. On a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the highest, those OEMs are:
· CFM (7.5)
· Airbus (7.3)
· Boeing (7.2)
· GE Aviation (engines, 7.1)
· Pratt & Whitney (APUs, 7.1)
· Parker Aerospace (7.0)
· BAE Systems (7.0)
This survey was conducted from mid-February to mid-May, with 185 qualified responses, including 62 unique airlines from around the world. OEMs were ranked in the following categories: ease of doing business, product reliability, technical support, parts cost, parts availability, aircraft-on-ground (AOG) support, OEM repair cost, OEM service center performance, overall satisfaction, and likelihood of recommending them to a peer or colleague.
Parker Aerospace improved year-over-year scores in ease of doing business, technical support, OEM repair cost and OEM service center performance while also receiving the highest overall satisfaction score for mechanical/electrical suppliers in 2020. Most of the industry continues to show low net promoter scores (NPS) scores, like overall satisfaction, and Parker's NPS score has remained high among peers.
Lee Ann Shay, chief editor MRO, Aviation Week Network reports in the July issue of Inside MRO that, "Parker Hannifin has been putting a premium on customer service in the last several years, which seems to resonate with its customer base. It has expanded its in-region support—including inventory pooling centers in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia as well as repair capabilities. It also opened 24/7 customer response centers in Irvine, California, and Singapore."
The survey report also explains that Parker Hannifin Chairman and CEO Tom Williams established a net promoter score index called likelihood to recommend (LTR).
"Customers are asked about their experience after every significant business transaction," says Austin Major, Parker Aerospace group vice president for business development & customer support. "Customers who have good experiences hold a greater appreciation for the overall value offered by Parker and actively promote our brand. They are more likely to have a strong interest in new product offerings and product improvements, and to consider broadening their business with Parker."
Parker's leaders and business units are measured on the LTR scores, which Major says have steadily increased every year since the program's inception. Parker Aerospace has a division dedicated to serving aftermarket customers, called Customer Support Operations (CSO), which represents all of the aerospace technologies across Parker's Aerospace Group. Customers are surveyed with transactions that are manual and digital, plus an overall relationship survey, so that issues can be quickly identified and resolved.
The complete survey results and winners can be found in a recent webinar, Aviation Reset: Flight Path Forward, featuring MRO Top Performers: Strategies for Leading Customer Satisfaction. The panelists will discuss the increasing importance of customer engagement, how that is changing as airlines prioritize cost savings and efficiency, and maintaining excellent customer relations through mergers, acquisitions, and industry consolidation. Register here to view the on-demand webinar.

A superb triple-distilled single malt from the now silent Rosebank distillery, bottled as part of the Flora and Fauna series.
The nose is of medium-body. The cereal notes abound with hints of juicy barley sweetness. Notes of crisp wood smoke cutting the cold air with an herbal freshness. Notes of winter spice and citrus with cut limes and mandarins and potpourri. The palate is full and quite sweet. The citrus notes proliferate gaily with notes of cut limes and tangerines. Sugared peels and winter spice, Parfait Armour and Cointreau with notes of tannic oak. The finish is long and punchy with a good smoke and spicy fruit.
I mentioned having a bottle of AH Hirsch bought as an investment over 10 years ago,I also have this exact bottle.It will be sold in 5 years when I'm 60.
I may not be a connoisseur but this is the nicest whisky i've tasted. Slightly sweet but not too much so.
My choice of the best of the best.


My Imagination . . .
Sharing older work today and pretty deep in prayer and working on my own faith that God has this.
In life there are always storms, and as a parent of adult children, I still often wish I could take on their storms when I watch them struggling. I am constantly reminded of the caterpillar that becomes a beautiful butterfly. I cannot intervene, but I can pray unceasingly.


example…my news director that I dated. he wanted more I didnt..then when I decided that I was willing to settle into a long term relationship with him he got called down to Austin for special news director conference. a week later we were suppose to go out that Saturday to discuss our future. then nothing….he just cuts all contact. when I contacted him he was horribly sick and told me I was a lot of things…..never spoke to him again.
Another a helicopter mechanic. Everytime we tried to make plans something came up. First his company suddenly sent him to El Paso/army for about two weeks…when he returned we made plans again..then suddenly his boss told him he had to go to Arizona for more training. he was confused and pissed about it. rightly so since it took away from his daughters time. we still talked each night…when he was about to head back home he sent me a voice mail crying horribly telling me he couldn't do it, that he was so sorry and just a lot of strange none since. I tried calling back and nothing. tried texting him and just got total jibberish. just letters no words over and over again. never seen, heard or nor never seen him again.
3rd…Meet a normal boring hard working local man. He was so excited to go out. we went out…it was short. he later called me "I don't understand why I didn't ask you out for longer". he wanted to go out again. we made plans..then suddenly day we planned for a week his cousin showed up in town. "don't know why she's back so early" he broke the date to hang out with his cousin which he saw all the time. Needless to say we stopped talking. a month or so later I contacted him just to learn a few things for my blog. He then told me it was just strange that day. he told me he decided to go see his cousin though he did not want to. "I don't know why or how. Even when I went over there it's not what I wanted" he stated. He had wanted to call me but couldn't seem to manage it. he stated he thought I was perfect for him and asked if I would go out with him again. I agreed. he planned to cook for me. when I got there he seemed suddenly awkward and suddenly got very ill. we ended the semi date sooner due to his stomach.. he got really ill..and it ended things.
doctor, pilot…doesn't mater the men it's a short sweet ending always leaving me always alone. the poor guys don't even get a chance to hold my hand.
I could go on and on…..this is my dating life. So is my strange happening affecting the men that's wanting a relationship with me? If so..why?
Other question..is it wrong for me to have a relationship and not tell them what's been going on? I never told my ex…I don't tell anyone. Well except for you all..lol. because none of you know me.
hmm, so here I am. Lots of waking up in the middle of the night. no weird dreams, no more weird beings in my room, but weird markings suddenly on me. first one was on my right thigh. at first it looked like something stung me. I figured it had to be mosquito….except it didn't hurt, didn't itch, forgot about it. Two days later had a huge deep bruise. no pain. as it slowely faded it seemed to have a stamp shape to it.
So I didnt..your lucky you got some of it. so the above picture with quarter shows you what it looked like three weeks later. what the heck makes that type of bruise?
I am happy alone but I need a hero to climb on and curl up with and feel protected. grrrrr on not knowing. Thank you to my hero's whom ever they are.

by Xinhua writer Jin Jing LONDON (Xinhua) -- On March 29, the date on which Britain was originally due to leave the European Union (EU), a picture went viral on the British social media.
In an apparent sarcastic tone, Britain's Royal Mail apologized in its iconic red letter notice: "Sorry, we tried to deliver your Brexit. You were lied to and your Brexit could not be delivered to you."
In the latest turn of events, the British parliament on Friday rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's hard-brokered withdrawal agreement, for a third time since January, prompting speculation that Britain will have to request a lengthy delay of Brexit to avoid a catastrophic no-deal.
The City of London, one of the world's top financial hubs and also a powerhouse of the British economy, stands at the forefront to suffer.
"This shift will reduce Britain's influence in the banking and finance industry both in Europe and in the world," said the report entitled "Brexit & the City — the impact so far" released earlier this month.
"The whole process of Brexit has been frustrating from a business perspective and if there's one thing that business hates, it's uncertainty," Estlin said.
UNA-UK, a pro-UN group said in a recent report that Britain's standing at the UN will be weakened after Brexit because British diplomats "are less able to align their campaigns in the Security Council and the General Assembly with the influence of their colleagues in Brussels."
May's idea of a "Global Britain" is "so limited" and focused much on trade rather than leading global efforts to tackle global challenges like climate change and nuclear disarmament as a major part of multilateral institutions, Albrow said.
With the exit of Britain, EU's second largest economy, a key diplomatic and military power, Europe's global clout and the future of the European integration project have been plunged into doubt.
As the world's political and economic balance of power is shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Europe is facing risks of being further sidelined, he said.
Kristin Archick, author of the book "After Brexit, A Diminished or Enhanced EU," said the departure of Britain will weaken EU's ability to tackle more persistent challenges such as a sluggish economy and high unemployment, immigration and terrorism threat.
Archick argues that Brexit may seriously undermine the EU project.
Even though most EU countries may be too small to contemplate departure, Brexit could prompt others to demand special memberships or policy opt-outs.
Manfred Weber, chairman of the European People's Party (EPP) group, called on the Europeans to "keep the EU together" which he considers among the biggest challenges for the bloc.
The EU must understand that only a united Europe, together with one voice, can have critical mass of power to bring European points of view on the global stage, said Weber, who is also the EPP's candidate for European Commission presidency in the upcoming European Parliament elections this May.
"We have to keep the EU together. We see Brexit happening.
"That's why we strive for the fundamental principle that compromise is good thing for Europe," said Weber.
Observers say Brexit did not come as a surprise.
Britain has remained one of the EU's most skeptical members since it joined the European Economic Community (as it then was) on Jan. 1, 1973.
A referendum was held in 1975 on whether Britain should remain part of the Community with a 67-percent vote in favor of continued membership.
"I think it's fair to say that the British government wants the European Union to be strong.
"It's in no one's interest for the Union to be weak," he said.

Court's decision hits pause on the Clean Water Rule nationwide
As litigation concerning the federal Clean Water Rule continues in multiple courts all over the country, one court's decision to hit pause on the new rule earlier this month has created confusion about the current protections for the nation's waters.
On October 9, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued a nationwide "stay" of the Clean Water Rule, leaving Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers to resume using the previous guidance in all states while the court determines if it has jurisdiction to decide whether the new rule is lawful.
This latest ruling is the second legal decision against implementation of the Clean Water Rule. The day before the new rule took effect in August, a North Dakota district court delayed the rule from being implemented in 13 states. Despite this setback, EPA moved forward in applying the Clean Water Rule to the rest of the country.
Now the Sixth Circuit, which is based in Cincinnati, must decide whether it has jurisdiction to hear the case. If the court finds that it does not have jurisdiction to review the rule, then litigation over the rule will proceed in district courts around the country, with the states likely seeking stays of the rule on a case-by-case basis (like the one issued by the North Dakota court). But if the court does decide it has authority, the stay will likely remain in place until the validity of the Clean Water Rule is decided, which could take months or even years.
Halting the Clean Water Rule nationwide—even temporarily—is problematic given that years of confusion about which waters were protected under the existing guidance was the catalyst for developing the new rule.
Reverting to the previous guidance, the uncertainty of which left 60 percent of the nation's stream miles and 20 million acres of wetlands at risk for pollution, means that the drinking water for one in three Americans is at risk once again.
Many environmental and conservation groups are seeking to support and fortify the rule, while lawsuits challenging the rule have been filed by industry groups and 31 states (including Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee in SELC's region).
Two legislative attacks are also moving through Congress. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) is the sponsor of S. 1140, which would block the rule and set new criteria for waters considered under the Clean Water Rule. Even if Barrasso's bill doesn't pass, the Senate is prepared to take up a resolution under the Congressional Review Act, or CRA. The CRA allows legislators to use an expedited process to block new laws with a simple majority of votes. President Obama is expected to veto either attempt, if passed by Congress.
As these legal and legislative proceedings unfold, SELC will continue working to defend and strengthen the Clean Water Rule in order to better protect our streams and wetlands.
