Esta especialidad fue creada en el año 1960, un año después de la creación de la escuela industrial.

Sus actuales docentes son Jorge Vargas y Juan de Dios Moreno, que atienden estudiantes de las dos jornadas desde el grado octavo.

Esta especialidad está integrada con el servicio nacional de aprendizaje SENA y este certifica sus competencias laborales especificas al entregarles el certificado de aptitud profesional en el momento de terminar el grado once.

el gran inconveniente de esta modalidad es lo obsoleto de sus equipos y maquinarias.

En el presente se está gestionando con los concesionarios de automóviles de la ciudad para que permitan a los estudiantes de grados 10 y 11 realizar sus prácticas en los talleres.

![HTML](./img/html.png)
=======================

What is HTML
------------
**H**yper**T**ext **M**arkup **L**anguage

large part of what the web is

*you* use your *browser*, which speaks *HTTP* to the *Servers*
on the *Internet* to see webpages

HTML in the wild
----------------
right click > `View Page Source`
or Ctrl+Shift+I

**Inspect element** or
Ctrl+Shift+C to select and jump to an element

you can copy HTML from any website

Simplest html page
------------------
make a super simple html page, `index.html` which looks like a text file
``` html
<!-- index.html -->
Orbital wohoo!
```

HTML is just plain text

this is incomplete and incorrect, but your browser tries to
display it anyway

HTML and tags
-------------
using Sublime Text, just type `html` and press Tab to see a barebones
HTML structure
``` html
<!-- index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>
    </title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>
```

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
```
`<!DOCTYPE htmL>` requierd for legacy reasons to help browser in rendering

```html
<html>
</html>
```

`<html>` tag defines that this is a html page

```html
<head>
  <title>
  </title>
</head>
```
`<head>` not seen by users, mainly for computers, e.g. search engine crawlers

`<title>` title of webpage, shown in [search results](http://google.com/search?q=html) and browser tab

```html
<body>
</body>
```
`<body>` what is seen by us, the user

Our project page
----------------
whatever project you end up doing, you will probably want to build a
a website to showcase it, let's use that as a starting point

### `title` for our page
```html
<title>
  Orbital Project Name - Home
</title>
```

### headers from `h1` to `h6`
``` html
<!-- after <body> -->
<h1>
  Project Name
</h1>
```

### `p` is a paragraph of text
``` html
<!-- after </h1> -->
<p>
  Awesomeeeee subtitle!
</p>
```

### `div` is the generic container
``` html
 <!-- after </p> -->
 <div>
   <h2> Installation </h2>
   <p> download this project and open it in your browser </p>
 </div>
 <div>
   <h2> Creators </h2>
   <p> 2 wonderful students from NUS created this </p>
   <p> Me, You </p>
 </div>
```

### HTML ignores whitespace
```html
<!-- under Creators -->
<p> Me,
You
</p>
```

### we can `br` it, but we usually don't
```html
<!-- under Creators -->
<p> Me,<br>
You
</p>
```

### `em` for emphasis
```html
<!-- under Details -->
<p> It will win <em>best project</em>! <p>
```

### `strong` for stronger emphasis
```html
  <p> 2 <strong>wonderful</strong> students from NUS created this </p>
```

### `nav` for navigation links
nav is essentially like div but it gives more meaning,
saying that "here be links"
```html
<nav>
</nav>
<!-- before Details -->
```

### represent navigation as a list
using `ul` or an unordered list
```html
<!-- after nav -->
<ul>
</ul>
```

### `li` for a list element inside a list
```html
<ul>
  <li> Details </li>
  <li> Installation </li>
  <li> Creators </li>
</ul>
```

### hyperlinks with `a` and `href`
note the difference in styling of links, blue underline
```html
<ul>
  <li> <a href="#details">Details</a> </li>
  <li> <a href="#installation">Installation</a> </li>
  <li> <a href="#creators">Creators</a> </li>
</ul>
```

the `#` essentially means, look for something with an id `details` and
jump there

### sepcify an `id` attribute for `div`
```html
<div id="details">
<!-- cut -->
<div id ="installation">
<!-- cut -->
<div id ="creators">
```

### what's the web without `img`
```html
<!-- before nav -->
<img src="">
```

### a `form` with `input` and `submit`
```html
  <div id="feedback">
    <form>
      <input name="q">
      <input type="submit">
    </form>
  </div>
```

nothing happens when we click submit, so lets change that

### a search query
```html
  <div id="feedback">
    <form action="www.google.com/search">
      <input name="q">
      <input type="submit">
    </form>
  </div>
```

### a feedback form
use `label` to tell the user what the field is for
```html
<form action="shout">
  <label>
    Email:
    <input name="email">
  </label>
  <label>
    Comments:
    <textarea required name="comments" rows="10" cols="50" placeholder="What do you think?">
    </textarea>
  </label>
  <input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
```

try pressing submit and see what happens

### HTML5 ftw!
```html
<form action="shout">
  <p>
    <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email">
  </p>
  <p>
    <textarea required name="comments" rows="10" cols="50" placeholder="What do you think?">
    </textarea>
  </p>
  <p>
    <input type="submit" value="Send">
  </p>
</form>
```
`placeholder` as a *new* supported attribute

Full cast announced for the West End transfer of Mary Stuart.
The full cast has been announced for the West End transfer of Robert Icke's new adaptation of Mary Stuart. Following a critically acclaimed, sold out season at the Almeida Theatre in 2016-17, the production will open at the Duke of York's Theatre from 15 January for a limited run before visiting
Theatre Royal Bath, Salford Lowry and Cambridge Arts Theatre.
As previously announced, Juliet Stevenson and Lia Williams reprise the play's central roles. Also reprising their roles are Rudi Dharmalingam (Mortimer), David Jonsson (Davison), John Light (Leicester), Carmen Munroe (Kennedy), Eileen Nicholas (Melville) and Daniel Rabin (Kent).
Joining the cast are Michael Byrne (Talbot), Christopher Colquhoun (Paulet), Calum Finlay (Aubespine) and Elliot Levey (Burleigh).
Two queens. One in power. One in prison. It's all in the execution.
Schiller's political tragedy takes us behind the scenes of some of British history's most crucial days. Playing both Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart, Juliet Stevenson (Hamlet) and Lia Williams (Oresteia) trade the play's central roles, decided at each performance by the toss of a coin.
Get your tickets here and have a read of my review from the Almeida here.

Too-hot-to-re-review: Hamlet, Harold Pinter
"I shall not look upon his like again"
My lack of willpower when it comes to theatre is infamous, even more so on the rare occasions when I get invited to be someone's plus one, with the responsibility of filing my own review lifted from the shoulders for once. Thus I found myself at the Harold Pinter for the transfer of the Almeida's Hamlet, a production I enjoyed immensely on the two occasions I saw it in North London and whose charms I wasn't entirely sure would translate to the larger theatre here.
Those fears were largely unfounded – the scale of the intimate family drama that Robert Icke has fashioned from Shakespeare's ever-present tragedy amplifies effectively, and Andrew Scott's deeply conversational style still resonates strongly (in the stalls at least) through the familiar verse, finding new readings and meanings. If I'm brutally honest, I don't think I gained too much from this repeat viewing but that's just my rarified position – it is still a thrilling piece of theatre and it's a thrill to see it in the West End.
Running time: 3 hours 35 minutes (with 2 intervals)
Booking until 2nd September, Juliet Stevenson leaves the company on 1st July when she is replaced by Derbhle Crotty

The Almeida's Hamlet transfers to the Harold Pinter
"Most fair return of greetings and desires"
As follows many a sold out run with a high-profile cast, Almeida Associate Director Robert Icke's new production of Hamlet transfers to the West End for a strictly limited season this summer (read my review here) from 9th June to 2nd September.
Starring BAFTA and Olivier Award winner Andrew Scott (Sherlock, Birdland, Cock, Pride) as the Danish Prince, Hamlet is brought to the stage by the critically acclaimed and multi-award winning creative team behind 1984 and Oresteia. And in further excellent news, the entire cast is making the trip to the West End (although Juliet Stevenson only until 1st July, no news yet on who might step into Gertrude's shoes).

Review: Hamlet, Almeida
"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so"
The enduring image of Robert Icke's Hamlet is family – the repeated motif of group of three cleaving together haunts the production as much as Hamlet's father himself. From the instant and intense bond established between Polonius, Ophelia and Laertes, Icke makes striking emotional sense of the respective grief and ferocity of the latter two, powerfully played by Jessica Brown Findlay and Luke Thompson against Peter Wight's twinkling charm as their father.
And Icke also gives the tragic visual of Andrew Scott's Hamlet trying to rebuild his original family unit, joining hands with his mother and the ghost of his father in the midst of the closet scene, willing Juliet Stevenson's Gertrude to see what he sees, to put things back the way they used to be. And in a stunning montage for the final scene, these trios reform, emphasising the innate happiness of one and the deep tragedy of the other. It is deeply, deeply felt.

Review: Tartuffe, Birmingham Rep
"I am a native of Wolverhampton"
Molière in the modern day via the Midlands? Tartuffe is Roxana Silbert's first production as Artistic Director of Birmingham Rep and sees her bring a distinctly local flavour to this classic French comedy. Chris Campbell's new version dispenses with the rhyming couplets and crowbars in a ton of local references and fourth wall breaking to create a highly comic atmosphere, but one which sacrifices any sense of subtlety or depth of character for the quickfire laughs which feel more reminiscent of a panto than anything else.
My main reason for booking, aside from a trip to see the new theatre, was to see Siân Brooke, too long absent from our stages, but the main draw in the case is Mark Williams as Tartuffe, the religious hypocrite who inveigles his way into the household of self-made man Orgon, with designs on both his wife and his daughter. Not everyone falls under his spell though and the situation quickly turns farcical as they try to expose Tartuffe for what he really is, with Aston Villa scarves, jokes about HS2 and funny walks aplenty. Continue reading "Review: Tartuffe, Birmingham Rep"

Review: The Merry Wives of Windsor, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
"Hang the trifle, woman"
I think I only made it Stratford once last year, partly a consequence of so much of the RSC's work playing in London as part of one festival or another, but once the casting was announced for The Merry Wives of Windsor, I knew I would be making the trip to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre once again. This production of Shakespeare's comedy of middle-class trials and tribulations is in modern dress but the reference point is closer to the British sitcoms of the 1970s and 80s and as with many of those television shows, it has its high points and its low points.
Alexandra Gilbreath and Sylvestra Le Touzel were thankfully the production's highlight as Mistresses Ford and Page respectively. I've long been a devotee of Gilbreath and she remains an utter joy to watch on the stage. Superficially she's something of an Essex wife here but we soon see the playful intelligence that lies behind the animal print and there's much to enjoy as she deploys her flirtatious verve and feminine wiles – her final costume nearly converted me I tell you. And the contrast against Le Touzel is well worked: though a doughtier figure born of country life, they make believable firm friends and there's a lovely constancy to the emotiveness with which she speaks, she touches the heart just as effectively as she tickles the ribs. Continue reading "Review: The Merry Wives of Windsor, Royal Shakespeare Theatre"

How often have you received a letter from an existing or potential supplier with a mistake in your name, job title or address? Too often is a common reply. How about letters or emails stating that they know you are interested in something that you're not? Not very impressive, are they?
It needn't be like that ... if only those suppliers took the time to get the detail right.
Having a single central place to store all of the information that you have about your existing and potential customers is vital. And using it religiously is essential. That means that you need to implement business processes that force all customer interactions to be recorded, without exception.
There are many software packages available that will do this for you, and they are not all that expensive either. I use ACT! within Adduce Marketing as it keeps my contact information easily. It automatically records all of my meetings as well as all written communications (emails, letters, invoices, etc.) against each contact record. This means that I have a complete record of all electronic interactions for each contact and that I cannot forget to update the information.
There are drawbacks to this approach, for example the email interface within ACT! isn't as good as Microsoft Outlook, but on balance it's a small price to pay for the value of trapping all information in a single place ... consistently.
Having gathered information on customers and prospects in a central database, it is essential that you make use of it wisely. The most common use for this data is outbound marketing, things like mailshots, email blasts, etc. And this is where the mistakes often creep in.
Most people are not averse to receiving a letter, or even an email, from potential suppliers provided it's relevant to them and their needs, isn't part of a 'mass-attack' by the supplier, and isn't disruptive (e.g. an email that takes a long time to download, or a letter that's hard to open or understand).
So, as you plan a mailshot using your database, be sure to put yourself in the target's shoes and decide which people would be genuinely interested in the offer, how you can present it to them so that it is clearly relevant and in a non-disruptive format. Sending out fewer but better targeted mailshots will generate more customer uptake and improved profits.
Don't end up behaving like the credit card companies ... need I say more?

Dubai Economy sees commercial complaints dropping 35% in 2020
DUBAI, 13th January, 2021 (WAM) -- The Commercial Compliance and Consumer Protection (CCCP) Sector in Dubai Economy received 500 commercial complaints during 2020, a decrease of 35 percent compared to the previous year.
The CCCP also received 609 business enquiries, thus taking the total transactions business protection transactions handled in 2020 to 1,109.
All commercial complaints and business inquiries received in 2020 came through the smart channels of CCCP. The Consumerrights.ae website accounted for 89 percent of the complaints while the remaining came through the Dubai consumer app. Together, the app and website accounted for all business enquiries received.
Mohammed Ali Rashid Lootah, CEO of CCCP, said, "Sustained awareness initiatives by the Commercial Compliance & Consumer Protection Sector have succeeded in enhancing investor confidence in Dubai and subsequently, in bringing down the number of complaints from businesses. The 'Commercial Compliance Manual' that we launched in June last year also contributed to increasing awareness among traders on their rights and responsibilities. The Manual explains the most important points the trader should focus on to avoid interruptions and create a competitive economic environment. The business community can refer to the directory, available in Arabic and English, by visiting the Consumerrights.ae website."
Lootah added, "We will continue to strive to resolve any business complaints amicably and uphold the principles of fairness and transparency to protect the rights of all parties concerned. Business owners in Dubai should stay away from any violation that might invite punitive action, and also abide by and apply best practices and standards that will enhance the work environment in Dubai and ensure sustainability of their business."
A majority (39.6%) of the commercial complaints received in 2020 came from the services sector, followed by the decoration & construction ( 27%), foodstuffs (10.6%), accessories (5.6%), electronics (4.6%), shipping (4.6%), and equipment rental (4%). The remaining were distributed to the automobile, furniture, document clearance, labour supply, and transportation sectors.
Non-compliance with the agreement terms was the cause of 70.6% of the complaints, while 13.8% were about commercial fraud, 4% about unauthorised activity, 3.4% about after sales service, and 3% were about failure to adhere to specifications and standards. The remaining were distributed as store policies incompatible with laws applicable, additional fees on a service/product, non-compliance with warranty terms, mismatches in price list, and VAT.
Merchants can file their complaints relating to services provided by commercial establishments in Dubai, along with the necessary documents and evidence, through the consumerrights.ae website or through the Dubai Consumer app available on Apple, Google, and Huawei stores. If the complainant is from outside the UAE, the documents must be certified by the competent authorities in their respective countries.

Personally I find this to be a bogus claim, as the practice of reusing pieces of text is *extremely* common among authors who write multiple review articles on the same topic. Regardless of whether you believe in "self-plagarism," there are no questions regarding the validity of the article so I wouldn't hesitate to cite it.
Overall I think Marik deserves credit for shining light on a common problem which is generally ignored in the literature. As do you, for drawing more attention to this major problem (albeit one which isn't flashy).
Thanks Josh, interesting addition. I personally didn't find the two pieces to be inappropriately similar; there is obviously shared content, but it's not like he changed the title and sent it to another journal. There's plenty of novel material in each; one is obviously more of a retrospective series and the other a narrative review on the topic.

A few weeks ago, Apple TV+ announced that they acquired the Charlie Brown holiday specials from ABC. That means that the beloved Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes would not be seen on broadcast television anymore. Needless to say, people were crying good grief 2020.

2020 has been a real bitch, but every now and again, she does something nice.

Oprah Winfrey made a name for herself as the most loved talk show host, but then she got her own network. Every now and again, she still does interviews on OWN. However, not enough.
Well, now she is back doing what we love her for, interviewing people on important issues starting this Thursday. Lady O wrote, "It's time to bring humanity back to the conversation. Tune in to my new show #TheOprahConversation, where I'll be joined by fascinating guests to have conversations that unite us—not divide us. Watch 7/30 on @AppleTV."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first episode is available for free. Maybe this is what we need to unify our divided country. If anyone can do it, it is Oprah!
Take a musical stroll through Central Park on Apple TV+
May 31st, 2020 under Apple TV+, Uncategorized. [ Comments: none ]
The people behind Bob's Burger have a new animated show on Apple TV+, and Central Park something to sing about. I mean, sing-along with because it is also a musical. Each episode features songs that will get stuck in your head.
Birdie (Josh Gad) is the narrator of the story, and he is the busker at Central Park. However, the story is not about him. Instead, it is about the Tillerman family. Owen (Leslie Odom Jr.) is the park's manager, and he lives there with his family. His wife, Paige (Kathryn Hahn) is a writer for a newspaper that can be found on the NYC subway because that is where the readers leave it. She wants to write newsier stories, and she will get that chance thanks to her son, Cole (Tituss Burgess).
Bitsy Brandenham (Stanley Tucci) is like Leona Hemsley. She lives in her high-rise across from the park, and she hates that empty lot. She is in real estate, and she sees all the buildings and stores she can build there. Therefore, she is going to do everything in her power to get the most famous park shut down.
Before she can do that, she must find her dog. She is offering a huge reward to get him back. What no one knows is that Cole has found the pup, and he wants to keep it to himself.
Since no one knows that Cole has a dog, people from far and wide are coming to the park to find the rich pooch. All the foot traffic is destroying Owen's flowers, so he wants to find the dog first. What is he going to do when he discovers his son has the puppy all along.
There is a fourth member of the Tillerman family. She is Molly (Kristen Bell), and she is experiencing her first crush. Her first kiss will be something she wants to throw away.
Talking about garbage, we will get a whole episode about that. Yes, it has something to do with the evil Bitsy Brandenham.
If you love Bob's Burgers and musicals, then you will love this show. Even if you don't, you are still going to adore it.
They also capture some of the stuff that makes Central Park different from any other park. And I am not talking about the good things!
Beastie Boys fought for the right to tell their Story
April 24th, 2020 under Apple TV+. [ Comments: none ]
Back in the '80s, Beastie Boys took the rap scene by storm with their hit (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party). The three white teens from NYC were everywhere, but their story is not a fairytale. The surviving members, Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz, are sharing their tale in Beastie Boys Story that is streaming now on Apple TV+.
Before they were the Beastie Boys, Diamond, Horowitz and Adam Yauch were just boys and a girl hanging out making punk rock music. Rap was still in its infancy when they started out. Then as it slowly started to gain popularity in NYC, they added it to their sound.
The three of them had the right timing and kept meeting the right people at the right time. For example, a DJ named Rick Rubin. Rubin introduced them to his friend and soon-to-be-business partner Russell Simmons. The two men were starting a label called DefJam and they wanted to sign the Boys.
Before they knew it, they were on the road with Madonna. They told the crazy story about how that happened. Then they talk about the other bands they toured with before License to Ill even came out. Once that happened, their lives were changed forever.
They created an image for themselves, and it took over their lives. They weren't happy about who they became, so they quit and went their different ways. However, they had a contract that wouldn't let them do that.
They worked on a second album, but it wasn't the same. The hottest guys in rap saw their fame dwindle down to nothing. Their failure gave them the chance to be free of DefJam and find a new label.
The three of them left NY for LA, and spent money like it was water. When you do that, the well goes dry. Now, the band, who played to sold-out stadiums, were playing clubs. You know what, they loved it even more.
They got the feeling back that they had when they first started as a band. Beastie was releasing the music they wanted and not what someone else told them to do.
There were a lot of good times and some sad ones. They lost their friends and family members. However, none of them hurt as much as when they lost Adam Yauch in 2012 to cancer. When he died, so did the Beastie Boys.
Or so they thought. Diamond and Horowitz did one more tour. Instead of playing music, they did a lecture like standup, where they finally got to tell their story.
The last show was filmed by their music video director Spike Jonez. That final show is what you will see on Apple TV+ now.
Beatie Boys Story is not only about their rise to fame and fall, but it is also about everything in between. There are anecdotes like what Beastie stands for. Did you know it is an acronym? The crazy things they did on tour. Most importantly, it is about three best friends living the dream! That is something no one will ever be able to take from them.
When you watch the one-night two-hour documentary, make sure to watch it through the credits. They show a lot of home videos as the names roll down the screen.
This is a special for anyone who wants to know what it is like to be a band and living the life that comes with it. Who doesn't want to know that? Watch it now, because you have already binged everything else.

The following are excerpts on the Winter Peace Retreat Report. For the full report from the Peace and Justice Committee visit efpjc.ppjr.org/pjnews/pjn1803.pdf.
On February 9 to 11, around 50 participants gathered at St Mary of Providence Retreat Center in Elverson, PA to participate in the 2018 Eastern District and Franconia Conference Winter Peace Retreat. This year's theme was "Immigration, Sanctuary, and the Church".
The weekend began with a family activity led by Tammy Alexander, Senior Legislative Associate for Domestic Affairs in the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Washington, Office: "People on the Move: A Migration Exercise". The activity sparked conversation around what people go through when they are uprooted from their homelands, the sacrifices they are forced to make, the struggles they endure and the questions they carry with them about safety and what they may encounter in a new land.
Peter Pedemonti, co-founder and Director of New Sanctuary Movement Philadelphia, shared about his own family's migration journey, his father from Italy and his mother from England. Settling in Hartford, CT, Peter grew up with stories of why his family left Italy and some of the struggles they had when they came to this country. He shared how people often took advantage of his grandmother because she didn't speak English. This is a frequent experience today for immigrants of color in the U.S. when compared to the relatively privileged status of white immigrants.
Peter also shared the origins of New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia, a grassroots organization led by affected immigrants to "win immigrant justice campaigns with our members across nationality, faith, class, and immigration status." When Peter came to the Philadelphia to join the House of Grace Catholic Worker, it was at a time when there were growing rates of workplace raids and immigrant deportations, and proposed legislation in the U.S. Congress was hostile to immigrants. During this time a small group of clergy, immigrants, and allies started coming together about the situation. They discovered that a lot of people in Philadelphia were engaged with immigration issues, but nobody was organizing in the faith community. So, little by little, they began organizing in coffee shops and in living rooms, until one day they had a movement. Peter then left the Catholic Worker and started to do this full time.
According to their website, New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia is "an interfaith, multicultural immigrant justice movement organizing communities to end injustices against immigrants, regardless of status". This is done through partnering and educating faith communities. Currently working with 28 congregations including two Franconia Conference congregations, member congregations assist in trainings, workshops, campaigns, and accompanying families facing deportation.
There is something uplifting about having that visual representation of God's presence in the courtroom. Bringing the power of God's love into that environment does something to bring people hope. There are many times when NSM has seen people win cases that they did not think were possible – when people come out of it saying, "This is a miracle; this is God." For those of us who are immigrant allies not directly affected by immigration law, this is an opportunity to see how the system works and moves us into exploring why so many people are in detention and deportation.
Immigration is a large part of the Franconia Conference and Eastern District story. Our ancestors were immigrants to the Franconia area and we are honored to learn from and walk with our more recent immigrant brothers and sisters. If you are interested in learning more about the immigration stories in Franconia Conference, contact the Conference Office for a copy of a short documentary complete with discussion guide that can be used in Sunday School or other formats.

After only ten minutes, James tightly wrenched the last nut of his drum set and cuffed the headphones over his ears.
I really liked James. At only 20 years old, he was already playing the Louisville club scene drumming for the Buster Brown band. He was tall with groomed blond hair, happy-go-lucky, and wore a likable smile.
"Let me cue the tape," I replied. I had previously laid down the guitar and bass tracks of my newest song called Touch Tomorrow and I needed to add percussion. Of course, every one in the music business knows that drums should be laid down first, but when you have only home-style recording equipment and a limited pool of top-notch musicians, you have to improvise alternative ways to create rock and roll.
I increased the decibels in James's headphones. My makeshift studio sat in the musty basement and was completely enclosed with egg cartons on the ceiling and walls for sound-proofing. The air conditioner was broke. We cracked the only small window to the outside world several times to inhale a quick whiff of the breeze.
After three takes, we called it quits. We learned our lesson that solid beat instruments must always be recorded first. No exceptions.
"Thanks for the recording session, Mike, " James said as he began disconnecting his drums.
In less than five minutes, James unassembled his drums and began carrying his large toms out to his car. Although the recording session did not meet either of our expectations, we were satisfied in knowing that we were accomplishing our life's purpose– to be musicians.
"Gotta go Mike, gotta gig tonight." James spoke with confidence and excitement.
James and I always had dreams of stardom. Although we never played in the same band, we respected each other's talents.
"Have fun tonight, James." I contained my jealously, for I had only played a few one-nighters here and there. After all, they say you have to finish college "to fall back on" in case one does not succeed in becoming a rock star. I mean, what would happen if one failed in the music business and only had a high school degree? Would he or she have to work at McDonalds for eternity?
Three decades later, I do not recall what happened to that horrible recording. I pray that the soundtrack, wherever it lies, will never reach the ears of another human being. It would be fun, however, to privately hear that burst of musical imagination that was created on that hot summer day.
I finished my college degree, became a diamond merchant, and gradually pushed toward California. I founded Gallery of Diamonds, and later established the Why Mom Deserves a Diamond writing contest. Tens of thousands of families have come to my store. On the sidelines, I have authored books and written songs, but the jewelry business has paid the utility bills.
I am thankful for every moment I have experienced, and for every person that has crossed paths with me. I have lived fully, with great love, and have learned from my mistakes. I would never desire to re-write the blueprint of my life.
But what happens when one follows a spark that burns in their soul? How is one's fate altered? Can one really be an astronaut and a famous painter at the same time? What about an airline pilot and a neuroscientist? Doe's one have to give up something to become something else?
And what about poor James? He simply wanted to become a rock star and have fun getting there. He did not possess a Plan B. Buster Brown turned into Mister Charlie, another band that performed in the dark clubs of downtown Louisville. Years later, James headed to California and played for Kingdom Come. At least this time he managed a highly viewed MTV appearance.
What is possible for a person who refuses to take a different path in life? What happens to one who never takes the contrary advice of others? What is the destiny of the human who will not diversify, or compromise their dream? What is possible for a human who constantly practices, rehearses, and becomes the best he or she can be?
To find out these answers, you are invited to type James' name in an internet search. His full name is James Kottak. His band, Scorpions, has sold 75 million copies of their music worldwide, and his superior drumming skills has inspired thousands of musicians.
What is your dream? What are you willing to do to make it real? Are you able to accept rejection while giving up your soft pillow and the approval from others?
I suppose these answers lie in how intensely your spark burns.
NOTE: I attached a YouTube Video below that has a few quick glamor moments of James in some climactic drum rolls.
← Gallery of Diamonds Awards 21st Annual Diamond Winner in Why Mom Deserves a Diamond® contest.
Very cool Diamond Mike! My husband and I grew up listening to the Scorpions. Your site is just so amazing!! Such variety…appeals to all the senses!
Thanks, Liz. Now James Kottak has so many friends on facebook I can't even "friend" him! I hope you keep coming back to visit me.
agree, thought provoking and inspiring.
Good example for parents, too, who may be encouraged by this post to support their children in their dreams. Loved the video — my older brother was a big Scorpion fan and the video and song were very well-done!
It is difficult to get the support of parents for their kids to become rock stars, but maybe we should just simply encourage them to forge their own paths, wherever they lead.

Z (Constantin Costa Gavras 1969)
November 7, 2013 – 9:48 pm
Working through some classics… Costa-Gavras' "Z" I have actually seen before. About 30 years ago, to be "precise", some night on tv. Since then, I keep thinking about it occasionally, and I remember having liked it a lot. Watching it again now, I realise that I remembered a concept rather than an actual film, a concept of intrigue and injustice, but with very few details about the actual film. The one scene I did remember was actually not in the film, it was (as I figured out after some research) from "I Comme Icare", the Yves Montand film of 1979 which ends with a shot – and that shot I associated with "Z". Strange how memory works. But then again, if memory does not fail me again, those two films do have quite a bit in common… Good that I started working my way through some of the films in Roger Ebert's "Awake in the Dark" collection. I was already rewarded with the fabulous "Battle of Algier", and now with the weird (and very good) "Z".
Which is a comedy. That's what surprised me the most: this film has a very light tone most of the time, it has goofy, clumsy characters, it has intentional slapstick moments (highly decorated military officers rattling a locked door, all 5 or 6 of them, after their interrogation), a key witness is a dork who only testifies because he is annoyed that his neighbour got his picture in the paper and he didn't… But at the heart of the film's second half is the incredibly calm, non-acting Jean-Louis Trintignant, who is just doing his job trying to collect information about a politician's death, and is very patient about dealing with all the lunatics around him. Without agenda, without pathos, with an (again) laugh-out-loud ignorance towards drama and politics. I need to see this film in a cinema with an audience – I bet that when he says "nom, prenom, occupation" for the fourth time, the audience is rolling on the floor laughing. He does not laugh, he is the nightmare of the system in that he has no agenda, and wreaks havok among the ranks (key dialogue bit: "What are you hinting at?" – "Nothing Sir, I am only stating facts.").
There's many more great things about the film, but what is truly memorable is the role of the assassinated politician's wife, played by Irene Papas. She does not really have a lot to do, but in these few scenes she gives everything from just being very beautiful, through being outraged, to being wise and sad and without illusion at the end.
The film's final scenes, the epilogue, appear odd and artificial. They can, I suppose, only be appreciated in the light of what actually happened during and after the Greek events on which the script is based. As a piece of fiction the epilogue appears outrageously out of touch with reality. However… sometimes life tells more grueling stories than fiction can swallow.

La Battaglia di Algeri (The Battle of Algiers) (Gillo Pontecorvo 1966)
This film has experienced some form of renaissance when notoriously or famously it was screened at the Pentagon or White House or some other counter-insurgency decision-making place like that to demonstrate the failure of a strategy that is based on escalating violence. And never mind that this film is about a specific case of a specific oppression of a specific group of people in a specific country and city – it is as universal a story as you will ever get. The French occupying forces in Algeria experience the rising of a counter movement, and the leaders of this movement – a bunch of intellectuals, street crooks, housewifes and kids – start actions to get rid of the unbeloved French. A spiral of violence ensues, attacks against policemen, then civilians sipping their café au lait in the posh coffee shops or their Martinis in the fancy bars of Algiers. Both sides are without much scruples when it comes to hurting their perceived enemy, and the city erupts in death and chaos. There are not many main characters (or even "heroes") – we get to see a bit more about the commanding officer of the French paratroopers (apparently the only main character played by a professional and experienced actor, Jean Martin), and of the illiterate street crook in the Algier's casbah.
Apart from being a thriller of sorts (with the permanent tension of bomb plots working out or not, or the peril of moving into a street fight in the twisted casbah alleys), and of course an allegory on how violence breeds violence, and the arrogance of leaders and occupiers, the inhumanity of all war, the questionable logic of torture … apart from all that this is a beautiful piece of film art: shot in black and white, with an eerie score highlighting scenes of danger or preparatory tension, a mix of local instruments, wailing voices and cracking gunshots. It is one of those films that dares to entertain you while it educates you, and that stunned me with its very deliberate absence of position in a conflict that only consisted of extreme positions. Why did it take me so long to see it??

Dark City (Alex Proyas, 1998)
November 6, 2013 – 8:22 am
Update Nov 2013: really strange that after a couple of years of not having seen it, I had lost almost all memory of the film… did somebody inject me with a new memory and forgot to mix in the "Dark City" fluid? But that's great, I love to discover new films, even if I have seen them already. What struck me at second watching is the great composed performance by William Hurt (always a favourite of mine since "Kiss of the Spider Woman" and the dangerous but well-played balance Kiefer Sutherland finds between playing goofy mad scientist and dreamy visionary. And Ms Connelly is even more pretty than she was, or maybe I just appreciate this more these days…
Original notes of 2008:
Whew, and dark it is, this piece by Alex "The Crow" / "I, Robot" Proyas. He can do dark, and he can do stylish. The film is a mixture in production design of Sin City or The Matrix, but also of other comics such as Dick Tracy and his relatives. It was a style-setter for those first two, no doubt, and looks fantastic. Even the cgi is surprisingly smooth when you consider that the film has been done at a time when the T2-Morphing was considered to be state of the art.
The characters are pleasantly creepy, Jack Baur in particular who plays Kiefer Sutherland, er… no: Kiefer S. plays the mad scientist, who is not so mad, but has a bit of a monkey on his back. That monkey is alien, pale and has a BMI of around 12. When cut open, transparent blubber erupts and the hostile creatures from beyond show their true faces.
Time-stopping, memory-imprinting, telekinesis, mass delusion, on and on and on go the motifs of atmospheric dark SciFi, set in the 1930s, I would judge from the hats.
William Hurt and Jennifer Connelly, and … oh yes! Richard "Riff Raff" O'Brien?! Very nice, indeed.
It has to be asked: why would those citizens who did not get a good shot of new memory into their frontal lobes not question the new look and feel with which the city presents itself to them every midnight after they wake up from undetected naps? Why do the cars not crash when everybody falls asleep, why do people not smash their brains on the concrete when they black out at midnight? Ah what the hell … if you are willing not to question the logic of the plot too thoroughly, the film is a thoroughly enjoyable bit of nonsense that helps you forget revising vocabulary or preparing for conferences, if desired.
When everything comes together – or apart, rather – at the end, some stunning bits of correctness reveal themselves, and elements taken easily for granted in similar genre films (why is it always dark? Why does the film's city look like a mixture between an Al Capone movie and a Star Wars settlement?) receive easy and on-the-mark explanations (without explaining, of course, that would be boring, and boring it ain't).
A "glorious marriage of existential dread and slam-bang action.", well said, Mr Ebert, in your rave review.

COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS, AND AUTOMATION
This chapter describes command, control, and communications and the automation of Army ATS units. It also explains command and control functions and facilities, command relationships, and communication requirements.
2-1. COMMAND AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
a. Command and control is vital in the synchronization of Army operations. Command and control and coordination begins with the force commander; he alone is responsible for combat operations on the battlefield. Air traffic service C2 units operate in the same way as other combined arms organizations. However, the battlefield over which ATS routinely operates encompasses the force's entire area of operations. Throughout the range of military operations, ATS units must be able to communicate with local airspace authorities and host-nation airspace infrastructures using telephones and radios.
b. Army ATS units have certain C2 requisites that help support the force with real-time airspace information. These requisites enhance the synchronization of combat power against threat weaknesses. They include--
Effective ATS liaison.
Mobile ATS facilities.
Reliable communications.
The relay of timely intelligence.
Support for airspace coordination.
The relay of accurate weather information.
c. ATS commanders at all levels are responsible for coordinating with the force commander through the chain of command. They also assist the force commander with the employment of air assets.
2-2. COMMAND AND CONTROL FACILITIES
a. ATS commanders and their staffs that operate with liaison elements in tactical operations centers collect, process, display, issue, and coordinate critical C2 information. These TOCs plan combat operations and help the commander with C2 functions during the execution of operations. The ATS group and battalion headquarters are located where they best facilitate command and control of organic assets.
b. Tactical operations centers at all levels must provide C2 for the entire spectrum of the battlefield including deep, close, and rear operations. The TOC should be limited in size and electronic signature and be easily displaced. The flow of the battle and the desires of the commander dictate the movement of the TOC.
2-3. COMMAND AND SUPPORT RELATIONSHIPS
The widespread nature of ATS support creates a need for diverse command and support relationships with the supported units. ATS commanders will task-organize their units to best perform the mission.
a. Command Relationships.
(1) The following paragraphs discuss command relationships used for Army ATS units.
(a) Assigned. An attached ATS unit is placed in an organization permanently. It is controlled and administered by that organization for its primary function or the greater portion of its functions.
(b) Attached. An attached ATS unit is placed in an organization temporarily. The commander to which the unit is attached is subject to the limitations specified in the attachment order. However, he exercises the same degree of command and control responsibility for the attached unit as he does over his organic units. The command to which the unit is assigned normally retains responsibility for transferring and promoting personnel and administering the UCMJ. The attachment order should state clearly the administrative and support responsibility of the gaining unit.
(c) Operational control. An ATS unit is in an OPCON relationship when it is provided to another commander for a specific mission or task that is limited by function, time, or location. The commander may deploy the unit concerned and keep or assign tactical control of the unit. Operational control does not include administrative and logistic responsibility, discipline, internal organization, and unit training. When applied within NATO, OPCON does not include the authority to assign separate employment of unit components.
(2) Command relationships for ATS units are shown below.
(a) Groups are assigned to the theater as directed by the JFC.
(b) Battalions normally are assigned to ATS groups. The ATS battalions are assigned to the corps aviation brigade or as directed by the JFC when the ATS group is not activated.
(c) Corps and division companies are assigned to ATS battalions.
(d) Communications zone and GS and SRA companies are assigned to the ATS group. If they are task-organized, these companies are assigned as directed by the JFC. When the ATS group is not activated, it is assigned to the battalion.
(e) ATS elements are attached to a supported unit during deployment operations.
b. Support Relationships.
(1) Air traffic service units normally are found in direct support or general support organizations.
(a) Direct support. An ATS unit in DS of a specific unit or force gives priority of support to that unit or force. The ATS unit providing support will take support requests directly from the supported unit or force. It normally will establish liaison and communications and advise the supported unit. An ATS unit in DS has no command relationship with the supported force and, therefore, cannot be suballocated, reassigned, or reorganized.
(b) General support. ATS units in GS will support the total force and not any particular subdivision of the supported force. Subdivisions or subordinate units may request support through the supported force headquarters. However, only the supported force headquarters can determine priorities and assign missions to these ATS units.
(2) Support relationships for ATS units are shown below.
(a) ATS groups are in GS to a theater.
(b) ATS battalions are in GS to a corps.
(c) ATS companies are in DS to a division and/or GS to a corps.
2-4. COMMUNICATIONS
a. ATS commanders and staffs need reliable, long-range, redundant communication systems. With these, they can exercise effective C2 throughout the supported force's area of operations. ATS forces must communicate on the move and maintain and sustain the same communications capabilities as other maneuver forces.
b. Radio normally is the primary means of internal and external communications. ATS units use FM, HF (AM) voice, UHF, VHF, common-user systems, and internal wire to expedite command and control. ATS also must be incorporated into the automatic data distribution system to support aviation's position location, reporting, and tactical information distribution requirements. The airspace information center requires UHF-FM demand-assigned multiple access satellite communications intelligence and weather broadcasts. SATCOM serves as the non-line-of-sight (NOE communications HF) backup means of communications. ATS units require dual HF for simultaneous voice and data transmission and reception. The dual HF requirement also supports the air coordination A2C2 net (ground-to-ground) and NLOS requirements for ground-to-air. In addition, the AIC requires an air picture, which may be obtainable only through a joint tactical information distribution system.
c. When ATS units conduct operations over extended battlefields, they must have access to battlefield communication systems to relay and retransmit messages. These systems will ensure uninterrupted battlefield communications, especially when aircraft are operating at terrain flight altitudes.
2-5. AUTOMATION
a. Automation interface with adjacent air traffic facilities ensures fast, reliable, and informed services. This equipment must be compatible with the digitized battlefield automated systems planned for the future. To ensure that airspace users have the airspace control plan, ATS personnel must be able to collect, process, display, and issue A2C2 information.
b. Automation is necessary to provide--
A2C2 services.
Terminal services.
Airspace information services.
Forward-area support services.
c. Automation also is needed for ATS personnel to perform their functions at echelons above corps, corps, division, and brigade. If ATS is to remain viable, requirements developers must identify special automation requirements for ATS functions. Materiel developments then must satisfy these automation requirements.

Top Chef Just Desserts
Macaron vs. Macaroon
November 4, 2010, 2:45 PM ET
Eli Kirshtein explains both confections' origins.
By Eli Kirshtein
Who doesn't love Macarons? With a crispy outer shell and a flavorful soft filling, they are a complete package. The modern version, also known as the Paris Macaron has a lineage tracing back to the 1533 arrival of Catherine De Medici to France. She brought an egg white and almond-based cookie called a Maccherone with her. Around the 1830s these evolved in to being served as miniature sandwiches filled with jams and jellies during tea parties. Then sometime later, around 1930, the confection part of the Macaron was refined to a petite meringue like cookie by pastry chef Pierre Desfontaines from the legendary Ladurée pastry shop in Paris. He then filled it with ganache and the current incarnation of the beloved pastry was born. There alternatively is another form of the pastry, known as a Macaroon. Deriving from Scottish tradition, they were first a mix of leftover mash potatoes and sugar loaf. After some years of refinement it changed to a mix of ingredient to form a crude version of fondant. In 1931, pastry chef John Justice Lees was making a chocolate fondant bar in which he botched the recipe terribly. Out of frustration and disgust, he added coconut to try salvage something. He ended up with the first Macaroon bar. This then evolved in two directions, the first into a cake-like coconut, and often dipped in chocolate, confection. And secondly into more candy-like items, you can even see the similar flavors and textures in modern-day Almond Joy and Mounds candy bars. The variations that are made of almond flour and egg whites also became particularly popular with Italian Jews. With no flour added they could then indulge in them during Passover in replacement of traditional Italian Amaretti.
Dulce de Leche is sweet, thick, unctuous goodness. It literally translates from Spanish to "milk candy." Basically, it is caramelized sweetened milk. In Latin countries it is traditionally made by slowly cooking milk and sugar while stirring constantly till it is reduced and thicken and a dark color is achieved. A simplified version is to take a can of sweetened condensed milk and to boil the whole can for two hours. As a disclaimer, if you decided to try to do this at home, completely chill the can in ice water after cooking to prevent a really painful episode. It is often formed into small caramel candies. It also has a very similar flavor to toffee due to its combination of dairy flavor and caramel. There are also several other versions all over the world including in Poland where a candy called Krówki is made in a similar way. In India a chilled version called Basundi is served with cardamom added for flavor.
Buttercream is essential for cake makers everywhere. With its richness, neutral color, and overall flavor, it's a good blank media for decorating and garnishing. In its simplest form, buttercream is butter is whipped together with powdered sugar to form a smooth paste. Other recipes call for the addition of milk or even eggs, egg whites, or egg yolks. In the French version, sugar syrup is cooked to a thickened stage and then whipped with egg yolks to form a light froth, then soft butter is whipped in. Italian buttercream is fundamentally the same but uses egg whites instead of egg yolks. All of them have their pros and cons but they are all basically used for the same purpose, which is decorating pastries and confections. Many pastry chefs argue that it is too heavy and rich, but it still has an almost ubiquitous presence still in pastry.

Harrisburg – Keeping the upcoming holiday season free of tragic vehicle crashes is the aim of "Operation Safe Holiday," a joint campaign by Pennsylvania State Police, PennDOT and local law enforcement. The holiday enforcement will focus on nighttime seat belt use and impaired driving.
The operation begins with statewide Click It or Ticket seat-belt enforcement that runs from Nov. 21-Dec. 1. Law enforcement agencies also will conduct sobriety checkpoints, roving patrols and regular traffic safety patrols on Thanksgiving Eve, Nov. 26, and from Dec. 1 through the New Year's holiday to crack down on drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol.
According to PennDOT data, the holiday season continues to be the leading time period for traffic crashes. The Thanksgiving holiday period, including the weekends before and after the holiday as well as the day itself, experienced the highest number of crashes and fatalities of any major holiday season last year. A total of 4,683 crashes and 48 fatalities occurred statewide during the Thanksgiving travel period. The Christmas and New Year's travel periods, including the weekend before Christmas, Christmas, New Years and the weekend after, saw 3,222 crashes and 30 fatalities.
Additionally, during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays last year, 1,072 of the statewide crashes involved a driver impaired by drugs or alcohol, with 35 fatalities in those crashes. In that same period, there were 989 crashes with unbuckled occupants, with 43 fatalities in those crashes.
PennDOT urges travelers to never drive impaired and always buckle up. Drivers should also avoid distractions, rotate drivers if possible and take frequent breaks.
Motorists should allow extra time for travel and expect to encounter traffic delays. As weather and road conditions can worsen quickly at this time of year, motorists should always check the forecast for their entire route and make sure their vehicle is equipped with a winter emergency kit and tires with good traction.

PMQs: Boris Johnson denies saying inflation fears were 'unfounded' - but Sky News has it on camera
During a feisty PMQs, the prime minister was accused by Labour's deputy leader of dismissing inflation concerns. He denied he had done so, despite having said it in an interview with Sky News.

Political reporter @alixculbertson
Wednesday 5 January 2022 22:12, UK
PM and Rayner clash over his words
Boris Johnson denied during PMQs that he'd ever described inflation fears as "unfounded" - despite Sky News having him saying just that on camera.
Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner, standing in for Sir Keir Starmer as he has COVID, told the prime minister he claimed in October that public fears about inflation were "unfounded".
Three months on, inflation is now nearing 6%.
Mr Johnson replied: "Of course, I said no such thing because inflation is always something that we have to be careful about."
However, Sky News has a clip of Mr Johnson telling political editor Beth Rigby on 5 October: "People have been worried about inflation for a very long time, I am looking at robust economic growth - and by the way, those fears have been unfounded."
Ms Rayner was later notified of the clip and interrupted PMQs to call a point of order.
She said: "Nobody wants to mislead the House, and I'm sure the prime minister wouldn't want to do that either.

"Earlier I quoted the prime minister when he said fears about inflation were unfounded.
"He said he didn't say that and yet the Sky journalist Beth Rigby has now put up the clip on social media, so I'm just wondering if the prime minister would want to correct the record?"
The Speaker said Mr Johnson could reply if he wanted to, but he was "not going to extend the debate".
"It was a point of clarification and that's been achieved," Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said.
Mr Johnson sat down again and did not reply as the Labour benches shouted: "He's running away."

Horror at the Cecil Hotel spotlights serial killer Richard Ramirez, also known as the Night Stalker
Mon Oct 16, 2017 at 3:57pm ET Sat Jul 04, 2020 at 3:57 pm EDT
The Cecil Hotel has a dark past including guests who turned out to be serial killers
Horror at the Cecil Hotel examines the history of the troubled hotel including the serial killer Richparanard Ramirez who used it as a base when he went on a killing spree.
All hotel have guests dying in rooms or even the occasional suicide or murder, but the Cecil seems to be one of those places that just has more than usual. It could be because the hotel was built in what for a long time became the poorest area in the city. An area of a few blocks that became known as skid row and that attracted those who were desperate for money, work or drugs.
The police even avoided the area if they could and the hotel was for many years a hot spot for drugs and prostitution. So perhaps it is no surprise so many of its guests killed themselves or were even murdered.
Whatever the reason, its reputation is so dark that it often makes it to the list of most haunted hotel in America.
Richard Ramirez was a prolific murderer and rapist
However, the most shocking part of the hotel's history is that two serial killers used it as a base whilst carrying out their murderous killing sprees. Austrian killer XYZ murdered three prostitutes whilst staying at the hotel but the most infamous is Richard Ramirez or the Night Stalker.
Ramirez went on a truly terrifying killing spree where he invaded people's homes and then raped, murdered, mutilated and robbed them. A self-proclaimed satanist, he became known as the Night Stalker and was apt to extreme violence, repeated rape and even torturing his victims.
He managed to kill over a dozen people as he burgled and raped his way across the city. Thankfully he was eventually caught and sentenced to death, though he died of an illness whilst on death row.

De Facto Marijuana Hash Truce In Lebanon's Bekaa Valley
The Lebanese government will not attempt to eradicate marijuana fields blooming across the country's Bekaa Valley, Beirut's Daily Star newspaper reported Friday.
By Phillip Smith
Sources cited by the Star said it was because of the fragile security situation in the area near the border with Syria and because the government had been unable to live up to pledges to provide financial compensation to farmers whose crops were destroyed last year.
They are also up against Bekaa Valley marijuana farmers in no mood to see their livelihood messed with.
"In the absence of alternatives, we will break the hands and legs of anyone who dares destroy our crops," one of the region's biggest growers, Ali Nasri Shamas, told the Daily Star. "We will not be gentle with them [the security forces]like we usually are," added Shamas, who is wanted on several arrest warrants, including on a charge of attacking the Army. "It will be a full-blown war if necessary."
This after last year's eradication effort led to clashes between would-be eradicators and farmers armed with rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, and mortars. Those clashes, which resulted in the destruction of bulldozers hired by the government to plow under pot fields, ended only when the government promised to pay compensation to farmers. That didn't happen. The Finance Ministry said it didn't have the money.
This year, although the Higher Defense Council had fighting drug cultivation on the agenda this week, sources told the Daily Star that a "tacit agreement" last month between government officials and local leaders from the Baalbek-Hermel region in the northern Bekaa meant that eradication efforts weren't going to happen this year.
"The Army is exhausted by the roving security incidents and the farmers are poor and angry," said a political source. "Everyone wants to avoid a major confrontation with the military. No one wants carnage."
The Syrian civil war raging next door has led to repeated clashes inside Lebanon, especially since the open involvement of Hezbollah members in the fighting earlier this year. The Bekaa Valley is also a Hezbollah stronghold.
Lebanese hash provided funding for feuding militias in the Lebanese civil war between 1975 and 1990, and grow into a multi-billion dollar industry before the government cracked down under international pressure in the late 1990s. But its eradication campaigns have often generated violent clashes, and promised alternative development schemes have failed to materialize.
Now, the marijuana fields are back in a big war. The Daily Star described roads in the Bekaa Valley "lined with dark green cannabis fields."
This year's pot crop would be "wonderful," Shamas said. "We moved from 5,000 dunums of cannabis-cultivated land to 45,000 dunums," he said. (A dunum is about a quarter of an acre.) There is no shortage of dealers to buy the resulting hashish, he said, adding that it was destined for markets in Egypt, Turkey, and Europe.
While Shamas reveled in his anti-government outlaw status, other pot farmers said they had few other options. "We have no other choice," said Abu Asaad from Yammouneh. "Our region is highly poor and neglected and I prefer planting cannabis to turning into a bandit or a car thief."
The farmers scoffed at international aid and alternative development programs, saying they had been a bad joke.
"It's high time international donors realize that their money is not spent to devise tangible agricultural policies, but rather goes straight to the pockets of officials," Abu Asaad said. "Eradication campaigns are carried out at our expense and used to secure more funds, which will surely be embezzled."
Meanwhile, to save face, Lebanese authorities may do some Potemkin eradication.
"The police and Army might destroy a small plot of land where cannabis is grown in the next few weeks just to demonstrate that they have not dropped the ball on the matter, but I totally rule out a large-scale campaign," a source told the Daily Star.
