When you open your computer's Task Manager, chances are you're going to find the csrss.exe process running. If you don't find any "csrss.exe" process, than you will most likely find one (or several) called "Client Server Runtime Process".
Wondering what this process is? In this article we're going to teach you all about it.
What Is csrss.exe (or Client Server Runtime Process)?
The Client Server Runtime Process is an essential part of Windows. It's not harmful and you shouldn't have the need to remove it.
A long time ago, before Windows NT 4.0 (released all the way back in 1996), the Client Server Runtime Process was responsible for the graphical part of your computer. Csrss.exe took care of stuff like managing windows and drawing graphics on your screen, among many other things.
After Windows NT 4.0, these tasks were integrated in the Windows kernel. Still, the Client Server Runtime Process didn't disappear. The csrss.exe process is still essential to Windows because, even though it doesn't handle the graphical part anymore, it is responsible for console windows and the entire shutdown operation.
Before Windows 7, the Client Server Runtime Process still handled the graphical part of the console windows on the command prompt. Microsoft changed that starting with Windows 7, making the Console Host process draw the console windows.
Still, the Console Host process (or conhost.exe), which draws the console windows, is launched by csrss.exe, making it a still essential process for console-related tasks.
As we've seen, csrss.exe is an essential part of Windows, therefor you cannot disable it. Even if you could, why would you want to do it? The process uses a very tiny amount of your system's resources — and only does it to perform critical functions.
As you can see in the image, Windows warns you that ending the process will result in a system shut down or will render your system unusable. Even if you still try to end it, you will get an "Access Denied" message. You cannot terminate this process.
The Client Server Runtime Process is launched as soon as Windows boots up. If, by any reason, Windows can't launch csrss.exe when it boots, then you'll get a Bluescreen error. If you happen to have a 0xC000021A BSOD, know that it is caused by failing to launch csrss.exe.
Can Csrss.exe Be a Virus?
Like any other process, it is possible for a virus to disguise itself as the csrss.exe process. Usually, you can suspect that a process is a virulent one due to the fact that it is constantly running, however that is not the case with csrss.exe — the legitimate process is always running.
If you suspect that the process might be infected, you can try and check its location. The original csrss.exe file is located in your System32 directory. If it is located anywhere else on your drive, then chances are it is an infected process (even then you should still be able to see the legitimate one).
Regardless of what you think about csrss.exe legitimacy, the best thing to do is to keep your computer's security constantly updated and to run your antivirus frequently. The normal csrss.exe file is nothing to worry about, and without it, Windows couldn't run.

Q: How to read file from WSO2 ESB without using poll interval I am able to read the file from specified READFILEURI path if I can specify the poll interval.
My current requirement is to read the file from given path only when we trigger the proxy service.It should not poll the file automatically.When I click on "try this service" and send the request then only the file should read from the read file path and do processing.
TO test this I have removed the "transport.vfs.pollInterval" attribute from my proxy configuration and tested it.But file is not getting read from the path once I trigger the proxy request.
Could some one help me how to achieve this.

A: I guess it should work if you use the file connector.
https://docs.wso2.com/display/ESBCONNECTORS/Working+with+the+File+Connector
You should be able to create a simple proxy that get's triggered via http/https and the uses the above mentioned file connector read operation to read the file.
Unfortunately I cannot give you an exact example because we're still on an older esb version where this connector isn't available.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Martin

Cracking your phone or tablet screen is one of modern life's big frustrations, as well as a potentially costly one.
That awful crunch as your phone hits the footpath or your iPad crashes onto the kitchen tiles is enough to send chills down the spine of every self-respecting technology lover.
But expensive screen repairs could one day be a thing of the past thanks to University of Melbourne researchers who are developing a unique self-healing gel that could potentially be used to prevent screens from cracking, or 'heal' themselves if they do.
It sounds too good to be true, but the chemical engineering experts have already used 3D printing to develop the self-healing gel that regenerates after being cut – just like living tissue.
If successfully developed, the polymer-based substance could have endless applications, from protecting mobile device screens to 'healing' interior and exterior car scratches.
Melbourne School of Engineering researcher Dr Luke Connal says 3D printers can potentially revolutionise manufacturing, but until now suitable printing materials have been limited. To help rectify this, his team has developed a polymer-based 'ink' that can self-heal. It adds the fourth dimension – time – to 3D printing, in that the material can change shape over time.
The gel-like ink starts off similar in texture to toothpaste. When you apply pressure it can flow, becoming stable again when the pressure is removed.
"After printing, these objects can heal a crack or even a cut and regain their original strength," Dr Connal explains.
"This could enable custom printing of coatings that can heal after breakages, potentially as coatings for mobile phones.
Led by PhD student Milena Nadgorny, Dr Connal's team, which included Dr Zeyun Xiao, has had a paper published in The Royal Society of Chemistry's Molecular Systems Design & Engineering journal.
Dr Connal says the gels are made from a polymer known as poly(hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate), which is the base polymer for many types of contact lenses.
"We have instilled chemistry which is dynamic into this polymer. This means it strengthens the gel, but on a stimulus (for example a change in acidity) we can weaken the gel. And we reverse this – enabling healing of cracks in the material," he says.
The goal is to develop selective coatings for high-end products that are subject to stress, such as mobile phones, hand held devices and car surfaces that can self-heal when cut.
These self-healing 'smart' objects could also change their shape upon sensing their chemical environment, enabling the fourth dimension, time, to also influence them.
Ultimately, Dr Connal says a mobile phone screen could be made of the special gel. If it cracked, slight heating or exposure to humidity would activate the self-healing properties.
The next step is investigating how to increase the materials' strength and flexibility and even ability to change colour. That opens up the possibility of developing chameleon-like technology such as for camouflage.
"We are working on this to develop adaptive camouflage materials," Dr Connal says. "We aim to have a 3D printable ink that can be printed by soldiers in remote locations that can change colour so they can blend into their environments.
Another idea is to create materials that will enable submarine officers to use a 3D printer to create spare parts as needed, eliminating the need to store dozens of parts on board. The possibilities are endless.
"There is so much potential to develop new materials for 3D printing. It is a really exciting and rapidly developing area," Dr Connal says.


I just added my daughter Molly (14) as a contributor to this blog, so she can post for me when I'm in the hospital without access. I'll try to write up some thoughts after the surgery for her to post. Hopefully, I'll feel well enough on the 21st to summarize my experience. I imagine it might take some time to record it all.
Yesterday I went to the hospital for pre-op instructions, EKG, blood work, and chest x-ray. All is fine. Well, I'm not sure what blood tests are called for, but barring any issues there, it's all systems go for November 20. They'll call the day before to let me know when the surgery is scheduled. No food or drink within 6 hours of surgery.
Also saw an internist for a general pre-op physical. Again no problems other that I was surprised at my weight - I've never weighed as much. Halloween candy and the end of summer exercise have conspired again. Oh well, I'll have to start the exercise back up in December.
One other thing. I wonder what that "tap the knee with a rubber hammer" reflex test proves anyway? I think doctors just do it so you think you get your money's worth.
There is also a link to buy them, and the standard hammer is only $1.95!
Just waiting for the 20th to come. Not much longer now. I've started to prepare for the recovery period - bought some new sweat pants, started organizing reading material, etc. I'm actually looking forward to the time off, so that balances any apprehension.
I'm going to have Molly take some pre-op pictures today or tomorrow, so I'll get a page up in the next day or two for pre- and post-op pictures. I wish I would have thought to take some before the cyst surgery.
Just one more day to go. Working at home today so I can get ready for tomorrow. Still not really nervous or anything, so I guess that's good. I wanted to get some pictures taken and posted - I guess that will have to happen today.
The hospital just called and I need to be there at 9:45 am CST to be ready for surgery at 11:15am. I get to sleep in a little bit!
I managed to get some pictures taken for the "before" section. The link to the pictures pages is to the left. Not much more to do now but wait. The next posting will likely come from Molly, after I get out of recovery. Talk to you soon!

The joy and promise of Burger King's Impossible Whopper
Matthew Walther
Illustrated | Drew Angerer/Getty Images, Yevhenii Dubinko/iStock
Burger King's new Impossible Whopper is exactly what it claims to be: a vegetable product that looks exactly like a thin, gray, lumpy fast-food beef patty — and tastes like one too. If you ordered it with all the standard Whopper toppings — including, ugh, mayo — and gave it to somebody who asked for the real thing, he probably wouldn't notice. The idea of eating one of these on a Friday fills me with holy dread. But paired with fries and Dr. Pepper on a Tuesday afternoon? It's one of the least-bad things I've felt guilty spending $6 on from a monarchy-themed mass-produced food retailer in some time.
We have certainly come a long way from the soggy corn-flavored lumps that are still called "veggie burgers" on the menus of bars, even in rural southwest Michigan. The Impossible Burger is a miracle of engineering, a triumph of sheer human ingenuity on par with the Jacob's Creek suspension bridge or the invention of the washing machine. It puts to shame the aspirations of medieval alchemists, who I'm sure would agree with me that turning one kind of hard metal into another is far less impressive than transforming soy and potatoes into factory-farmed cow flesh. The idea that it exists at all fills me with joy and a feeling of promise.
Does it matter, though? Yes, because unless we want the entire planet covered in pink radioactive hog excrement in 50 years, we are all going to have start eating a lot less meat. It has nothing to do with lunatic arguments about the "ethics" of killing dumb animals, and everything to do with responsible stewardship of creation — though as it happens the processes inherent in factory farming as we know it are insanely cruel. This has been clear for ages, but unlike so many of the other existential crises we face, I think that solving it will be remarkably easy. We are not destroying our landscapes and creating poop lagoons visible from space in order to sell $50 cuts of steak — we're doing it to make cheap meat products that will be created under industrial conditions, prepared by an assembly line, and eaten out of a bag.
Which is why I am optimistic about the possibility of replacing cheap meat with things like the Impossible Burger. We already see this at places like Taco Bell, where a priest of my acquaintance once argued it was probably borderline acceptable to eat on a Friday given the plant-based composition of what appears inside their bargain menu "beef" tortillas.
All of this will make gourmets blanche, and it probably should. The fact that we are so indifferent to what we shovel into our faces that we probably won't even notice whether it comes from beans or steers says a lot about the nature of modern consumption. Only a society as screwed up as ours could be one in which the poorest people are also the fattest.
In the meantime, there is still a long way to go. Asked how the sandwich was doing at my own local franchise, the drive-through man responded that it was being outsold nearly two-to-one by Burger King's disgusting-sounding new $1 taco. Can we start doing those with Impossible "meat" as well?
Restoring sanity to meat production — and to all the other things that are wasteful and destructive about the globalized capitalist economy — will require a lot more than banning plastic straws and convincing drunk college students to eat potato patties instead of real Whoppers. Fast food as we know it will probably have to disappear, along with the rapid pace of commerce that all but necessitates it. But these are issues for another time.
Today, let's raise up our plastic soda-filled glasses to the King.

Located 15 miles west of historic Georgetown, Liberty Hill is a farming community that has embraced its suburban transformation without losing any character. A mix of established and newer neighborhoods are popping up across Liberty Hill, with styles ranging from 1980s ranch homes to grand estates and country cottages from the 2000s. Popular master planned communities have also been developed in recent years, and they include Santa Rita Ranch and Clearwater Ranch.
Single family homes abound and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes and floor plans, as neighborhoods in parts of Leander have begun to merge seamlessly with Liberty Hill in an effort to keep up with the influx of families wanting to call the Greater Austin Area home. Liberty Hill is an area that represents the charms of suburban and rural living rolled into a single community. And it's little wonder why Liberty Hill has been attractive to home buyers in search of a suburban enclave that is convenient for commuters.
Liberty Hill homes are prime real estate with a very coveted location that combines the best of rural small town life with urban conveniences and recreation. Nearby Lake Travis provides some of the absolute the water sport activities in the region, and the Texas Hill Country provides gorgeous scenery full of endless hiking trails and camping adventures.
Texas State Highway 29 West from Liberty Hill takes residents directly out to U.S. Route 281, which connects to the Texas Wine Trail where vineyards and orchards are a convenient day trip away. With close proximity to both Highway 183 and Highway 29, Liberty Hill residents can easily access major urban areas like Leander, Cedar Park, Georgetown and Round Rock for additional services, or work commutes. Nearby Leander also offers a Metro Rail, making travel from Liberty Hill into Downtown Austin for nightlife, the airport and work a short train ride away.
The residents of Liberty Hill are served by the Liberty Hill Independent School District (ISD). With a district-wide enrollment of approximately 4,000 students, Liberty Hill ISD consists of 4 schools that serve students in grade K through 12. The small nature of Liberty Hill makes for intimate classrooms.
Private, Montessori and religious schools also exist for parents interested in alternate education options for their children. Among the most sought after private education centers in Liberty Hill are Summit Christian Academy of Cedar Park (K-4) and Sterling Classical School (PK-8).

Charb, właśc. Stéphane Charbonnier (ur. 21 sierpnia 1967 w Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, zm. 7 stycznia 2015 w Paryżu) – francuski rysownik i dziennikarz satyryczny.

Pracował dla tygodnika satyrycznego "Charlie Hebdo" od 1992 roku. Jego rysunki pojawiały się w przeróżnych gazetach, wydał także wiele komiksów. W 2009 roku, po odejściu Filipa Vala, został dyrektorem wydawniczym "Charlie Hebdo". Zginął w ataku terrorystycznym na redakcję tygodnika.

Życiorys

Młodość i wykształcenie
Urodził się w Conflans-Sainte-Honorine. Jego ojciec jest pocztowcem, a matka sekretarką. Już będąc dzieckiem, publikował własne rysunki w szkolnej gazetce swojego gimnazjum Louvrais w Pontoise. W 1987 zdał maturę w liceum Camille Pissarro. Zaliczył staż w lokalnej "La Gazette du Val-d'Oise" i rozpoczął współpracę z lokalnym miesięcznikiem "Les Nouvelles du Val-d'Oise". Rozpoczął też naukę w dwuletniej szkole reklamy, ale porzucił ją, by całkowicie poświęcić się rysowaniu. Ilustrował też fanzin "Canicule" oraz dorabiał chwytając się innych prac.

Kariera rysownika

W 1991 roku rozpoczął współpracę z tygodnikiem satyrycznym "La Grosse Bertha", założonym przez Jeana Cyrille'a Godefroy w czasach wojny w Zatoce. W następnym roku odszedł wraz z Valem i Cabu, by założyć "Charlie Hebdo". Stworzył tam własną rubrykę zatytułowaną Charb nie lubi ludzi. Rysunki Charba publikowało również wiele innych gazet, między innymi "L'Écho des savanes", "Télérama", "Mon Quotidien" i "L'Humanité". Prowadził rubrykę Fatwa ajatollaha Charba w miesięczniku "Fluide glacial". Od 2007 roku został rysownikiem karykatur do programu Przeszkadzasz wszystkim spać () Marca Oliviera Fogiela w telewizji M6, aż do zakończenia emisji w czerwcu 2008 roku. Charb był również jednym z karykaturzystów zaproszonych do wykonania humorystycznych ilustracji edycji Le Petit Larousse z 2011 roku, wydanej w 2010.

Wydał wiele albumów przedstawiających jego bohaterów: Marcela Keufa oraz Maurice'a i Patapona.

Dyrektor wydawniczy "Charlie Hebdo"
W 2009 roku Charb został dyrektorem wydawniczym "Charlie Hebdo", na miejsce Philippe'a Vala. Utrzymywał cotygodniowy cykl edycji. Żył pod ochroną policji. Kiedy w 2012 roku, po publikacji karykatury Mahometa, otrzymał śmiertelne pogróżki, zadeklarował: "To na pewno zabrzmi trochę pompatycznie, ale wolę umrzeć stojąc, niż żyć na kolanach". W 2013 roku internetowa gazeta "Inspire", publikowana przez Al-Ka'idę Półwyspu Arabskiego, zamieściła jego nazwisko na liście osób poszukiwanych za "zbrodnie przeciwko islamowi". Charb jest jedną z ofiar zamachu na siedzibę "Charlie Hebdo".

Styl
Jego rysunki charakteryzują się zjadliwą, czasami odbieraną jako niesmaczna, satyrą.

A Tribute to the of
Does anyone remember way, way back in the archives of this feature when we covered the first Bizarro appearance? For those of you who do not recollect, allow me to reveal it was Sueprboy #68, aka Sage #26, written by Otto Binder and illustrated by regular Superboy artist George Papp, making them the co-creators of this new and strange creature. In the end, the Bizarro Superboy ceased to exist, if a lifeless, imperfect duplicate can be said to truly exist in the first place and the year 1958 ended with no Bizarros.
Fast forward now to the next Bizarro appearance, this time as a lifeless, imperfect duplicate of Superman in the pages of Action Comics #254 with a publication date of July of 1959. Otto Binder was again called upon to script "The Battle with Bizarro!" and like the Superboy story from the year prior, the cover was done by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye, but interiors this time were by Al Plastino, still kind of channeling Wayne Boring with the stock Superman flight poses and the barrel-like configuration of Supes' torso. Mort Wesinger is the editor for this, the first meeting of Bizarro and Superman.
How do we get another Bizarro creature? Leave it to Lex Luthor, who we find in his laboratory with some lackey named Vekko. It seems Lex is working on a duplicator ray, inspired by one he read about in the newspaper files of the Smallville News, where Professor Dalton's invention made the front page along with a photo of the original Bizarro Superboy. Luthor stole the plans for Dalton's machine and now it's time for a test run.
Turning the beam on a diamond, there are soon two diamonds, much to Vekko's delight, but then the duplicate diamond melts away like a real piece of ice. Non-plussed, Lex tries again with an apple and this time the duplicate is so heavy he cannot lift it and he deems the experiment a success. Now Vekko is vexed and asks how Luthor can be glad about the results. Lex says he'll soon see and that it will lead to Superman's downfall, but now it's time to make some preparations.
Elsewhere, at the Daily Planet, Perry White is informing Clark Kent that a Professor Clyde phoned in and requested that a message be given to Superman to report to his Oak Square laboratory where he has claimed to have perfected a kryptonite antidote. Soon, Clark is shedding his street clothes in a backroom to become the Man of Steel and is off to the laboratory.
Professor Clyde instructs our hero to stand in front of his ray machine and after the red rays bathe the Man of Tomorrow, a puff of smoke appears and quickly dissipates to reveal an imperfect double and he remembers how the name Bizarro came about. As Superboy, he'd proclaimed the original creature "bizarre," but it had thought that was its name, slightly altered to Bizarro.
Luthor then discards his disguise and orders the Bizarro Superman to fight the real article, but to Lex's great surprise, Bizarro protests: "Uh..no! Me not do it! You not my master!" Luthor reminds the creatures that he should remember once being a boy Bizarro, which the creature acknowledges. Spotting himself in the mirror, Bizarro proclaims himself as still ugly and smashes it and then grabs Luthor and Vekko and soon both blue and red clad figures are taking them to jail. Bizarro remarks that he doesn't belong in this world and has no knowledge of good and evil. Superman thinks to himself that at least Bizarro recognizes this important shortcoming and that he'll have to destroy him later, reasoning that it won't be like death as Bizarro isn't truly alive to begin with.
Just then, the Man of Tomorrow is made aware, courtesy of super senses, that a large vessel is about to be hit by a tidal wave. Instructing Bizarro to finish taking the crooks to jail, Superman goes to save the ship.
Bizarro completes his errand and hopes that, unlike his prior experiences in Smallville, he won't frighten the locals, but the police chief, upon realizing it's not Superman, responds that it's a monster, despite Bizarro's protests that he is like Superman. Trying to prove himself, the lifeless creature spots an aircraft with an engine fire and flies off to save the passengers. Bringing it safely to a landing and using super-breath to extinguish the blaze, he is again greeted with fear by the passengers. Disheartened, he determines to leave the city, but obliviously flies into a smokestack, demolishing it.
The civil defense command is monitoring Bizarro's movements and note that he also smashed a steeple, but is headed out of town where the Air Force can deal with him. Fighter jets deploy rockets at the creature, but he is as invulnerable as his namesake, but is broken-hearted over events, wondering why he is treated with hatred. The forces even try an atomic bomb (great idea, guys, right outside Metropolis…) with no effect. Bizarro approaches a senior officer and tells them he's going to try to destroy himself, so they can stop wasting their weapons.
By this time, Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane have arrived on the scene in the flying newsroom, otherwise known as a helicopter, that Jimmy just happens to know how to fly. Lois tells Jimmy to follow Bizarro and that her new-fangled instant camera (when did the Polaroid Land Camera come out? Ah, 1948) will allow them to get a scoop. Just then, they spot Bizarro flying at a high rate of speed straight for a nearby cliff face, but not being the brightest bulb, the sympathetic monster's invulnerability just makes him fly straight through it without a scratch, nullifying his suicide attempt. Lois gets a great shot and exclaims the instant photo is "wonderful—magnificent!" Overhearing, Bizarro mistakes Lois' accolades for he himself and decides she's in love with him. The happy creature is now off to prepare a gift to his new lady love.
A little later, Superman returns from his mission, but cannot locate Bizarro, so he decides to return to his Clark Kent persona until something presents itself. Meanwhile, Bizarro has completed his task at a remote island and is scooping up Lois Lane, promising to take her somewhere. His cape has gotten tangled up and conceals his face long enough for the overjoyed Lois to be first confused, then cautious, deciding when she does see Bizarro's features that she'll be kind.
Soon they arrive on the island where the creature proudly shows off the "mansion" he's built for her, but to Lois' eyes it's more of a tumbledown shack. She asks what it's for and he proclaims that it is for Mr. and Mrs. Bizarro and asks when they can be married. Lois explains that Superman is the only man she could ever love and a crestfallen Bizarro again laments his ugliness, but then has an idea and as he flies off, promises Lois, "Me fix everything so you marry handsome one!"
Bursting into police HQ, Bizarro lays claim to Luthor's duplicating machine that has been seized as evidence. Returning to a secluded spot on the island, Bizarro carries out his plan and his logic is nearly irrefutable. An imperfect duplicate of himself will be a perfect Superman…almost. The new creature certainly has Superman's visage, but still speaks like a Neanderthal and momentarily throws the lady reporter off when he says, "Lois…darling! Me want to marry you!" Overwhelmed with joy, she accepts his embrace and soon the real Superman arrives, but Bizarro is ready with a green kryptonite meteor he happened to find on the island and that leaves Bizarro unaffected.
The weakened Superman tries to melt it with X-ray vision, but is only partially successful while the triumphant Bizarro declares, "You stay here! Now romance of new Bizarro and Lois Lane go on!" In the final panel, Lois and the new and improved Bizarro Superman are sharing a kiss while the original Bizarro looks on approvingly from concealment. "Ah! My plan work, using new Bizarro in my place!" The closing caption states: "What is Bizarro's plan? For the amazing answer, see the next issue of Action Comics!"
Great. A cliff-hanger. Well, if it was good enough for DC back in the day, it's good enough for me. Next time, please c'mon back and I'll finish this off with the second part of the story in Action Comics #255 on August 15th.
The rest of this anthology issue, just for the record, includes a Congorilla story and a short Supergirl tale. A pretty good investment for your dime.
And, before I go, I thought I'd share just a little information I found online about Bizarro's first artist and co-creator, George Papp, who, as I mentioned before, worked for a number of years on the Superboy title.
"George Edward Papp (January 20, 1916 – August 8, 1989) was an American comics artist best known as one of the principal artists on the long-running Superboy feature for DC Comics. Papp also co-created the Green Arrow character with Mort Weisinger and co-created Congo Bill with writer Whitney Ellsworth.
Robert Bernstein and Papp introduced the Phantom Zone and General Zod into the Superman mythos in Adventure Comics #283 (April 1961.)"
Sadly, Papp was among the hardy group who had the colossal nerve to ask for health and retirement benefits from DC in 1968 and was summarily fired along with the rest of those rabble rousers. It sounds like he landed on his feet, though, going into commercial art and advertising.
While I've been aware of George Papp, I didn't know much about him and as best as I can tell, he was never interviewed, which is a shame. His work wasn't flashy, but obviously he was reliable and competent in a field that cranked out product mercilessly and he gave us a few lasting items to remember him by.
So, a little history this time, even though George wasn't involved in this particular issue and again, we'll conclude our second Bizarro tale in the next edition of the Silver Age Sage.
Don't' forget to write if you have comments, questions or other feedback. My e-mail is available at: professor_the@hotmail.com.
See you in about two weeks and…
Long live the Silver Age!

Can a Christian have a gay friend?
Friendships become very complex when they involve things that are contrary to the Word of God. Many of us are facing the reality of how to relate to those who have chosen the gay lifestyle. People we work with, those who live next-door, and even some in our own families have decided to embrace it.
But is it wrong for us to have gay friends?
Have you ever heard the phrase, "love covers over a multitude of sins"? The actual verse in the Bible says this: "above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins" (1 Peter 4:8; NKJV).
The word fervent, in this passage, means without ceasing, strained, or stretched out. This indicates a love that is steadfast and longstanding, even in difficult circumstances — even toward gay friends. But how can we love them without approving of their choices?
Discernment is key. Praying for wisdom, remaining in the Holy Spirit, loving with God's great love, and having compassion mixed with holy fear, are essential in our relationships.
We do not have to participate in gay-related events. Yes, it will be awkward to decline the invitation, but it will be even more awkward to attend and feel like we are compromising our beliefs.
We can encourage, support and interact with gay friends so long as we remain steadfast in the truth. If we are tempted to be swayed, it would be wise for us to re-evaluate the friendship. We must hold everything to the light of Scripture. The Holy Spirit will guide us.
It's ok to disagree. Our friends may try to convince us that their lifestyle is loving and good. We should gently remind them that they were created in the image of God and for the purpose of bringing Him glory. We should seek opportunities to share the Gospel.
If they walk away from the friendship, we shouldn't take it too personally. We should continue to pray hard for them. Pray that we have planted a seed and that someone else will water it. Most of all, we should pray that they will come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.
This is a tough issue, but it has become more and more a reality for a lot of us. Jesus himself reached across the lines many times, to defend the prostitute, heal the leper, and offer Living Water to the Samaritan woman. Remember, every sin that Jesus died for was just as ungodly as the homosexual's sin — including our own.
We can humbly and fervently love our friends caught up in the gay lifestyle. We may even have a lasting impact on them, ultimately leading them to the Savior. In fact, we may be their only friend who loves them enough to speak the truth.
These words may seem harsh, but God makes it very clear that approval of the gay lifestyle is truth exchanged for a lie. Remember, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" (Proverbs 14:12).
As with any friend bound by sin, we must remain faithful to God and His Word so that we will be able to discern what is right and good and fair.
It isn't wrong for a Christian to have a gay friend. But what kind of friend will we be?

Land trust moves to new office
By Special to Trail Gazette |
The Estes Valley Land Trust is pleased to announce a new office location. A community open house is scheduled for Thursday, March 3, from 4 to 7 p.m. The public and all Estes Valley Land Trust friends and members are invited to join in the celebration at the new location at 1191 Woodstock Dr., Suite 5. The public is invited to stop by and see the new facilities, enjoy a snack and beverage, greet board members and staff and learn about the conservation efforts of the land trust. The new location is just east of S. St. Vrain Avenue (Hwy. 7) on Woodstock Drive.
Founded in May 1987, the Estes Valley Land Trust has been growing — pursuing its mission of preserving and protecting open space, valleys, wetlands, streams, ranch lands and wildlife habitat in the Estes Valley and surrounding area.
For most of its 23-year history, the land trust relied on an active working board of directors for its accomplishments. The successes of the early working board were incredible. Donated conversation easements, created to protect land from development forever, and increased maintenance requirements necessitated the first paid staff member and small, 400-square-foot office space, beginning in the summer of 2007.
Significant growth has continued since 2007, with another 16 easements (an additional 2,000 acres) placed in conservation. In 2008, the land trust also became part of a prestigious group, one of only 39 land trusts nationwide to first be awarded national accreditation by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission.
Today, the Estes Valley Land Trust is responsible for 155 conservation easements, constituting more than 9,200 acres of open space in the Estes Valley. Whether you`ve been out hiking in areas around Estes Park or were just enjoying a cup of coffee in the downtown area, you`ve probably delighted in one or more of the beautiful vistas provided by these open spaces held in conservation.
Fortunately, the board, volunteer committee members and a corps of 80 monitor volunteers have grown with the organization, to assure that all current and future easements are protected in perpetuity from development, as stipulated in the original easement documents.
To guarantee that future responsibilities could be fulfilled, in 2010, the land trust board recognized the need to add another part-time staff member and increase office space. The move to the new office was completed in January, thanks to the efforts of staff, board and volunteers.
The Estes Valley Land Trust would like to invite the community to help celebrate its past success and the opening of its new location. Join the members, beginning at 4 p.m. on March 3. There will be opportunities to learn more about the nature of a conservation easement, pinpoint on the map all the open spaces already protected for the future in the Estes Valley, meet those involved in this effort, sign up for membership and enjoy some treats with friends and neighbors.

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference runs from 8-12 June this year, and registration for the event has officially opened. Not everyone will be able to attend, and the registration is only for a chance to buy tickets to the event.
Apple is expected to announce new versions of OS X and iOS at WWDC, which has become a tradition of sorts as of late. There's no news on what might be coming with the new OS X 10.11, and barely any more is known about iOS 9 (although most expect stability upgrades). That being said, the tag line for WWDC15 happens to be "The epicentre of change", which may indicate that Apple is preparing to drop some radically new ideas on the world.
Tickets to WWDC15 will be sold on random ballot, with interested parties registering through Apple's website. Registration runs until 17 April, which is this Friday, and the selected names will be notified on the following Monday. That being said, Apple will automatically charge the selected people for the entry ticket through their Apple account once they are chosen.
Previous years have seen tickets for WWDC sold out in minutes, which is probably what has lead to this random selection method. Which is probably a better idea for selling these kinds of tickets, although it may annoy some of the Apple faithful.
Anyone who is interested in attending WWDC15 can register for the chance to buy a ticket at the official website. However, note that a single ticket costs US$1599 (about RM5900); and that is just to get through the front door.

Dr. William Hite Announces Last Year; 'Near Certainty' Cops Shot Fanta Bility; Gilbert Newton Trial
started: 09/28/21 5:15 pm | updated: 09/28/21 5:15 pm
Philadelphia School District Superintendent Dr. William Hite unexpectedly announced that he will not seek a contract renewal at the end of his current term. He said in a video message on Monday night, 9/27, that he will be stepping down after the 2021-2022 school year. He term ends in August 2022. "After much reflection, I've decided not to renew my contract when it expires in August 2022," Dr. Hite said. Hite started in Philadelphia in June 2012. He was previously the superintendent of Prince George County Public School District in Maryland. The Board of Education plans to announce a transition and search process.
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer announced on Monday, 9/27, that initial ballistics analysis has concluded with "near certainty" that police officers' gunfire killed a young girl and injured others outside a high school football game last month. The full forensic report is still pending. It happened on August 27 outside Academy Park High School stadium in Sharon Hill. Spectators were leaving the stadium following the game. At that time an argument led to a shooting about a block from the stadium. At the same time, a car pulled in front of the stadium. "We have concluded that the gunfire, combined with the movement of the vehicle, precipitated responsive gunfire from the Sharon Hill police officers," Stollsteimer said in a statement. Investigators believe that officers hit 4 of the 5 gunshot victims including 8-year-old Fanta Bility who was killed. Those officers have been placed on administrative duties. "Sharon Hill Borough has engaged Kelley B. Hodge of Fox, Rothschild LLP to conduct an administrative review of the Sharon Hill Police Department policies and procedures related to police use of deadly force," Stollsteimer wrote. A grand jury will investigate possible criminal charges.
The trial of a Philadelphia teenager who is accused of stabbing his ex-girlfriend to death at an Abington train station is underway. 19-year-old Gilbert Newton III is charged with first-degree murder, third-degree murder, and possessing an instrument of crime in the death of 18-year-old Morgan McCaffery of Abington Township. It happened on July 27, 2020 at the Meadowbrook Train Station on Valley Road in Abington. The pair had recently broken off a yearlong relationship and had agreed to meet at the station to talk. McCaffery was stabbed more than 30 times and was found next to her running car. Police found Newton later that morning at his home still wearing bloody clothes. His lawyer doesn't deny that Newton killed McCaffery, but says that he should be charged with the lesser count of manslaughter and not first-degree murder. Prosecutors have shown evidence that he premeditated the killing, including numerous texts saying he wanted to stab her.

Avengers Assemble?
I don't generally pay much attention to casting rumors and announcements because, after all, why worry prematurely about things that are entirely out of my control? It makes more sense to wait until after having seen the finished product before criticizing the decisions that went into making it. After seeing the post-credits sequence in Iron Man, however, I could not help wondering, as soon as I got out of the theater, who could possibly fill the roles of Thor and Captain America.
The speculation was exceedingly inane, as it always is. Despite how well Robert Downey, Jr. worked as Tony Stark, I thought it would be best to cast unknowns for his fellow Avengers. In the case of Captain America, I was mostly reacting against the notion of a Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio as America's proudest son. It would be a huge role, yet I felt that having a megastar fill it would work against the iconicism of the character itself. As for Thor, I simply could not think of anyone with both the physical presence and majestic dignity of Marvel's version of the god of thunder.
Not long after seeing Iron Man, I had a dream that Sean Bean was cast as Thor. It was a dream only about the announcement of the casting, followed by my incredulity. When I woke up, I still thought it a ridiculous dream. Sean Bean was way old, not nearly buff enough, and too associated with villainous characters. But then, in the months that followed, any time somebody brought up the future Thor movie, I was reminded of my dream. Before long, I started to picture Sean Bean in the role, and I actually kind of liked it. I realized that the movie Thor did not really need a physique anywhere near as exaggerated as in the comics, as that was in fact one of the reasons I always had a hard time picturing the character in live action. What Sean Bean had was the gravity and a proven flair for delivering lofty dialogue, as well as a certain facial resemblance. As for his age, I never thought of Thor as a young man. Like the other senior Avengers, he was an adult, well past the more adolescent concerns of Spider-Man and the X-Men. So if they could have only worked through the fact that he was a mere ten years too old and maybe three inches too short, I think Sean Bean would have made for a fine Thor.
As for who should play Captain America, it dawned on me that I had neglected to consider that whoever got the part would ultimately have to hold his own while sharing the screen with Robert Downey, Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, and maybe even Edward Norton. In that case, maybe an unknown would not have been the best choice. Somewhere along the way, it was suggested that Matthew McConaughey was in consideration for the role. As an actor best known for romantic comedies and other "weepy piffle," he was maybe not the first name that came to mind. But McConaughey is kind of the quintessential American country boy, he's always in good shape, and he is handsome with honest features. As to his suitability for an action movie, his performance in Reign of Fire was not far off from the really hardcore Ultimate version of Captain America.
Well, now we have final word that Captain America and Thor will be played by Chris "Human Torch" Evans and Chris "Kirk's dad from 2009's Star Trek" Hemsworth, respectively. I know I should at least wait for images of them in costume before passing judgment, but I have to admit that I am somewhat disappointed.
These guys are, first of all, both very young. Even if Robert Downey, Jr., who is almost twenty years their senior, could play ten years younger than he is, I still picture Hemsworth and Evans as looking like his kid brothers, and I don't think that's the ideal image of the founding Avengers. While I'm hoping that relative newcomer Hemsworth will surprise me, I'm more concerned about Evans, especially since I expect his role will be more pivotal in the eventual team-up. He was certainly not the problem with those Fantastic Four movies, but I wouldn't say he stood out either. He showed toughness in Sunshine (yes, Danny Boyle's shameless ripoff of Paul W.S. Anderson's Event Horizon), but not so much the charisma to inspire other men. Face it, the Super Soldier Serum isn't worth a damn next to a Norse god and a genius whose Sunday best is a jet-tank hybrid. Captain America contributes to the team with his leadership and experience. If Chris Evans cannot sell those aspects of the character, he will be worth less than the James Marsden Cyclops, who at least could still fire beams from his eyes.
*sigh* Well, it's irresponsible of me to be going on like this, so I shall now return to my original position of waiting and hoping it all turns out well. I loved Iron Man and I liked The Incredible Hulk almost as much, so Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios have earned a degree of faith from me.

But today, I'm super excited! With my newly re-organized craft room, I'm finally getting my inspiration (and motivation) back. YAY!
It's still a work in progress (don't look at the mess under the table), but you can see Handicraft and Whimsy's very first apprentice in the background!
If you follow me on instagram, you've already caught a peek of my TWO new pieces that have been added to the store. (I know, right? It's either feast or famine around here…) I love them both! So much! And for such different reasons.
I'm so in love with how the colors turned out on this and work together.
My apprentice believes strongly in the old school model/presenter method of marketing. I couldn't shatter his dreams by leaving this out.
Inspiration and Whimsy all at the same time? Yes, please! Plus, if I can incorporate a bicycle, I'm pretty much going to. Because they're awesome.
I just really love that it this one can work as an indoor or outdoor sign. It's so versatile!
I feel like I'm just getting started, so hopefully soon I'll have even more good stuff to show you! You can check out the listings on Handicraft and Whimsy's shop page on etsy (there's some other fun stuff over there too!). I'd love to hear your feedback. What would you like to see more of??
Coming up next: Some local traveling adventures!

Q: Detecting disconnection of the client in SQL Server When a client connection with the SQL Server (from client side) is cut,
how can I detecting this disconnection in SQL Server (2008 or 2012)?
Can I solve this problem with Server Triggers?

A: You can create an event notification for the Audit Logout event. The notification can launch an activated procedure. Consider though that event notifications are asynchronous.

A: You could query one of the sys tables (sysprocesses)
SELECT
   DB_NAME(dbid) AS Database,
   loginame AS LoginName
FROM  sys.sysprocesses

You can also run the following stored procedure to see who is active:

Svetozar Vukmanović – Tempo
a leading Montenegrin communist and member of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia. During World War II he served on the Supreme Staff, went on missions to Bulgaria, Greece, and Albania, and became Josip Broz Tito's personal representative in the Socialist Republic of Macedonia.
book: How and Why the People's Liberation Struggle of Greece Met with Defeat
Before his death in 2000, Tempo was very motivated to find out who gave the order to have those 18,000 people executed. He came upon shocking findings – the order was given by some of his closest comrades".
Earlier, in late 2004, Čedomir Vukmanović said Tempo came upon indisputable proof shortly before his death in 2000, that the orders for mass execution without trial came from the very top of Communist Party of Yugoslavia: "Precisely at that time in May 1945, Edvard Kardelj and Aleksandar Ranković were in Ljubljana. They called Tito and Milovan Đilas, and after short deliberation decision was made to kill everyone except for boys under 18."

Did Winston Churchill really praise Benito Mussolini? – Quora
Yes and quite effusively. He said " I could not help being charmed, like so many other people have been, by his gentle and simple bearing and by his calm, detached poise in spite of so many burdens." Churchill went on to say if he had been Italian he would have supported Mussolini.
However like most apparently damning statements, you have to understand the context. The occasion was a joint January 1927 press conference in Rome, given by both Churchill and Mussolini. Churchill at the time was Chancelor of the Exchequer – Britain's Finance Chief. He had just finalised negotiations under which the Italians agreed to pay £592 million (worth $40 billion in today's money) in disputed war debt, with payments to start in 1930 and continue to 1988.

A Friendly Interview.
Rome, Jan. 13.
The Chancellor of the-Exchequer (Mr.
Winston Churchill) has arrived on a pri-
vate visit. He had an hour's interview
with Signor Mussolini, the last half of
which was private. The British Ambas-
sador had previously been present. It
is understood that the conversation was
most friendly. Signor Mussolini accom-
panied Mr. Churchill to the doorway and
warmly shook hands with him.
The newspapers emphasise that while
the interview has no political signifi-

Pope from 1922 to 1939.
In February 1929, Mussolini signed the Lateran Accords on behalf of the king.
The Accords gave the Pope 110 acres (0.44 square km) which became known as Vatican City State.
Italy now had 3 rulers: Pope Pius XI, Victor Emmanuel III, and Mussolini.

From that time onward, Italy was a triumvirate with 3 rulers: the Pope-king, the king of Italy, and Mussolini. Any creature with 2 head is a monster but this new regime was a cyclops. Immediately after signing the Accords, Mussolini was honored with the flattering title: Knight of the Holy Sepulchre:

The OSS and Italian Partisans in World War II Intelligence and Operational Support for the Anti-Nazi Resistance Peter Tompkins
Two of Moscatelli's brigades set off for Milan, but they encountered strongly armored German forces trying to retreat to the border. By the afternoon of 25 April, they had managed to defeat these German forces, but they still were far from Milan just as Mussolini, outraged at being abandoned by the Germans, secretly headed for escape across the Swiss frontier.
Playing his last card, Mussolini attached himself, along with his girlfriend, Claretta Petacci, to a strong German convoy of 30 SS trucks protected by armored cars heading for the Brenner Pass. Trapped by a Moscatelli roadblock near the lakeside town of Dongo, Mussolini was discovered and executed with his girlfriend on unanimous orders from the partisan high command.

Wolfgang Abendroth – 2 – Wikipedia
November 8, 2019 – 2:38 pm
In 2017 approximately 100,000 pages of documents were leaked to the Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) with information related to the activities of Reinhard Gehlen (1902-1979), the post-World War II former head of the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) and the CIA-affiliated anti-Communist Gehlen Organisation (1946–56). According to the leaked documents Reinhard Gehlen, who was also a prominent Nazi before the war, authorized the conduct of physical surveillance of Prof. Wolfgang Abendroth: "[t]he archive material includes a carefully composed dossier on the lawyer and political scientist Wolfgang Abendroth, who was banned from working as a legal trainee in 1933 due to his socialist leanings. A few years later, Abendroth was sent into a punishment battalion of the Wehrmacht active in the war in Greece.

Wolfgang Abendroth 1- German Resistance Memorial Center – Biographie
November 8, 2019 – 10:50 am
Wolfgang Abendroth was born in Elberfeld in 1906 and grew up in a family of Social Democrats. His father was a teacher. He joined the Kommunistische Jugend Deutschland (Communist Youth Germany) at the age of 14. As a result of his agitation for a united front of Social Democrats and Communists, he was expelled from the KPD in 1928. In 1933, he lost his job as a junior lawyer for political reasons, and went on to provide legal advice for many opponents of the regime. Following his first arrest, Abendroth emigrated to Switzerland, where he gained his PhD. After acting as a courier for some time, he decided to return to Berlin in 1935. There, he was an active member of the resistance until he was imprisoned for several years in 1937. Forcibly drafted into one of the 999th Division's "probation units" in February 1943, he soon deserted to the Greek partisan organization "ELAS." He was taken prisoner by the British, and carried out political education for opponents of the regime in prisoner of war camps in Egypt

How former Nazi official Reinhard Gehlen erected a state within a state in post-war Germany – World Socialist Web Site
The archive material includes a carefully composed dossier on the lawyer and political scientist Wolfgang Abendroth, who was banned from working as a legal trainee in 1933 due to his socialist leanings. A few years later, Abendroth was sent into a punishment battalion of the Wehrmacht active in the war in Greece. He deserted from the Army and joined the Greek resistance movement.
After the war, he commenced teaching as a lecturer at the University of Leipzig. This was sufficient to place him in the first ranks of Gehlen's list of "enemies of the state." Abendroth was surrounded by Gehlen's agents, who diligently sent their observations and notes to Gehlen, all of which are found in the 100,000 files of his private archive.
An open question is how many other cases of BND persecution and harassment of Nazi opponents, socialists and Trotskyists are to be found in the mountain of files.
"Uncontrolled co-ruler of the German Republic"
Probably the most spectacular discovery in this initial review of the archive material is the evidence that the BND planted an informant and probably a provocateur in the leadership of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) at a very early stage. Through the work of his agent, Gehlen was able to observe over many years his most prominent target, SPD leader Willy Brandt, who was foreign minister in the grand coalition (SPD and Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union) from 1966 and in 1969 chancellor of the coalition between the SPD and the Free Democratic Party (FDP). As foreign minister, Brandt was spied upon by his own foreign intelligence service

Max Merten | World War II Database
He was captured by the Americans toward the end of the war, and in Nov 1945 he was officially arrested with accusations of war crimes. A year later, however, he was released by the Greek government. Merten insisted that the anti-Semitic policies had already been in effect prior to his arrival in Greece, and he had little power to alter their course after his arrival. In the 1950s, while on travel to Greece, he was arrested. He was tried in a Greek court, and in 1959 he was found guilty and was given a 25-year prison term. On 3 Nov 1959, he was granted an amnesty by the Greek government and was extradited to West Germany. His release sparked some controversity, with Merten accusing Prime Minister Konstantinos Karamanlis of Greece to have had ties to the German occupation authorities during the WW2 era, which was the reason that led to Merten's release; both Greek and German authorities regarded Merten's claims as libelous. He passed away in Germany in 1970.

Nazi influence on Germany's post-war government to be investigated | The Independent
November 8, 2019 – 9:48 am
The German government has announced an investigation into the influence of the Nazis on the country's post-war government.
A four-year inquiry will follow 20 other investigations made over the past 70 years to determine how far networks attached to Hitler's regime reached into the new administration after the fall of the Third Reich.
The probe, which will cost an estimated €4m (£3.4m), will look in particular at how far Nazi influence lingered in the Chancellory – the German equivalent of Downing Street – to see how many staff who worked for the Third Reich remained in the office after 1945, Der Spiegel reported.
In a statement, the cultural ministry said post-war recruitment policies and "the mentality of political culture" will also be looked at, particularly studying the role of Hans Globke, who served as chief of staff to former West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer between 1953 and 1963.

Man whose father saved Jews from Nazis asks Israel to take his name off 'ethnic cleansing' memorial | The Independent
The son of a Dutch couple who hid Jewish people from the Nazis during the Holocaust has asked for his father's name to be removed from a monument built on the site of a destroyed Palestinian village.
Erik Ader, whose parents, Bastiaan Jan and Johanna Ader, are believed to have helped at least 200 Jews escape during World War II, said he considered the monument to be an abuse of his father's memory and that his family name has been exploited to cover up "an act of ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians.
The former Netherlands ambassador to Norway told Dutch public broadcaster NOS that although he cannot ask his father, who was executed by the Nazis in 1944, what he thinks "of how his name is connected to this injustice," it is not difficult to guess, "knowing what he stood for".

Eichmann to Testify on Dr. Globke's Role in Deportation of Greek Jews – Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Dr. Bauer tied the Globke case to Eichmann today as he opened a formal criminal investigation into the accusations being leveled against the Adenauer aide. Dr. Globke, who is State Secretary, and the man who runs Chancellor Adenauer's office, is being accused of having aided Eichmann in 1943 in the deportation of 10, 000 Jews from Salonika, Greece, to Nazi extermination camps.
"Eichmann's testimony about the deportation of those 10, 000 Jewish men, women and children from Salonika would very much affect the Globke investigation, " Dr. Bauer said. Eichmann, chief Nazi director in the murder of 6, 000, 000 European Jews, is expected to go on trial in Israel in March for his war crimes against the Jewish people.
Another witness being called in his probe in the Globke case, Dr. Bauer said, is Prof. Karl Burkhardt, a Swiss citizen. As representative for the International Red Cross, Dr. Burkhardt, negotiated with the Nazi regime for the transfer of the 10, 000 Salonika Jews to Palestine. Those negotiations were unsuccessful and the Jews were deported to death camps instead.
A third witness being sought by Dr. Bauer is a former officer in the SS, the Hitler Elite Guard in which Eichmann was a colonel. That officer, according to the Attorney General, was in charge of the deportation of Jews from northern Greece. Refusing to reveal the man's name, "for tactical reasons," Dr. Bauer said the man had been last known to be living in Syria but had disappeared after the arrest of Eichmann last summer.

European History – Relay of Life
Click here and here to see excerpts from a book written by Walter Hallstein in 1969. Following his career as a prominent law professor under the Nazis, Hallstein became the key architect of the unelected European Commission and, for ten years, its first President. His book, entitled 'Europe in the Making', describes how the European Community's machinery was developed in such a way that "the Commission is entrusted with what virtually amounts to a monopoly in taking the initiative in all matters affecting the Community." Moreover, giving a prophetic hint of what the Lisbon Treaty would effectively be intended to accomplish almost forty years later, he specifically states that the few exceptions to this rule "ought to be removed at the earliest opportunity," and that "the Commission should eventually be empowered to take all measures necessary for the implementation of the Treaty on its own authority, without having to rely on special and specific approval by the Council of Ministers."

From Nuremberg to Brussels – Lecture by Dr. Matthias Rath – Relay of Life
The corporate preparations for World War II started as early as 1925, when Bayer, BASF, Hoechst and other German multinationals formed a cartel called "IG Farben Industry". The declared goal of this cartel was to obtain control of the global markets in the key industrial sectors of chemistry, pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals. Already in 1925, when this cartel was founded, its corporate value surpassed 11 billion Reichsmark and it employed more than 80,000 people.

After Duvalier failed to appear at an appeals hearing regarding human rights charges on February 7, the judge rescheduled the hearing for February 21. "The hearing on February 21 could be a pivotal moment in the prosecution of Jean-Claude Duvalier," the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti's Nicole Phillips told NACLA blogger Kevin Edmonds. "If Duvalier appears as ordered by the appellate court, it will present the first opportunity for the former brutal dictator to speak about his political violence crimes in a courtroom full of his victims and the media. If Duvalier fails to appear, the Haitian government will be under intense pressure to arrest him for violating a court order." While Duvalier has blatantly violated his house arrest related to pending corruption charges, failure to appear again would presumably be a more flagrant disregard for the Haitian judicial system. Duvalier also must appear in his own role as an appellant; he is appealing the standing corruption charges against him.
The U.S. response could signal an unwillingness to see Duvalier pay for his crimes, which might come as no surprise considering the enduring support the U.S. government showed for Duvalier during his rule, with U.S. aid to Haiti – including military training — increasing during the 1970's and 80's. When a popular uprising finally forced Duvalier to flee in 1986, the U.S. flew him out on a military plane.
The U.S. position is also ironic considering that USAID has spent $150 million [PDF] on "governance and rule of law" programs in Haiti just since the earthquake, and helped to create the Superior Judicial Council – which has been dogged by controversy during its brief existence. Nor should Duvalier's return have caught U.S. officials off guard. A Wikileaked cable reveals that Duvalier's possible return was a concern as far back as 2006, when then U.S. charge d'affaires in the Dominican Republic Lisa Kubiske (now assigned to Honduras) "expressed USG [US government] concern over a return to Haiti of either Duvalier or [Jean-Bertrand] Aristide [the former Haitian president]. Both potentially were provocative and could complicate the ability of any new government to establish itself," The Guardian summarized the cable as saying. The cable does not mention any desire by the U.S. government to see Duvalier tried, nor any mention of possible charges whatsoever.

Over 200,000 Quebec students went on strike on Thursday (10th November) against the tuition increases being imposed on them by the Quebec Liberal government. Premier Jean Charest's proposes to increase post-secondary tuition fees by a total of $1,625 over the next five years, the biggest tuition increase in the province's history. Combined with a previous $500 increase by the Liberal government, this amounts to a 125% increase in the amount that Quebec students must pay for post-secondary education. The indignation that has swept throughout society against this is astounding and clearly manifested itself throughout the strike.
Echoing the Wall Street protests in the United States, young people in Toronto are joining together to mobilize against the agenda of the financial oligarchs. In only the last couple of days, over 15,000 have taken to the streets to demonstrate against Wall Street. These thousands include nurses, teachers, transit workers, and other trade unionists. The importance of participation from workers, and more specifically from organized labour, cannot be overemphasized.
Quality post-secondary education is increasingly becoming an unattainable dream for many working-class youth in Canada. Since 2000, tuition fees have doubled, on average, with no end in sight. This is coupled with very high rates of youth unemployment, more than double the average rate for all workers. Free education is the key demand which can unite hundreds of thousands of working-class youth. It is vital that our organizations, especially the Canadian Federation of Students and the NDP, adopt this demand and make it a central part of their platform.
Youth unemployment in Canada: "Last hired, first fired"
Figures from Statistics Canada show how youth in Canada, and around the world, are being unjustly forced to bear the heavy burden of the capitalist crisis. While corporations worldwide continue to maximize profits, youth are suffering record unemployment rates that leave them susceptible to poverty, a lack of housing and education, and an increased risk of violence and conflict with the law.
