Tesla Model 3: pencil down on design, Tesla confirms still on schedule [Updated]
Fred Lambert
- Jul. 15th 2016 5:32 am PT
@FredericLambert
The success of the Model 3's production plan is highly important not only to Tesla, but to the ~400,000 people who by pre-ordering the vehicle are now planning their next car purchase around the release of the Model 3. If Tesla starts volume production in late 2017 and manages to manufacture 500,000 vehicles (Model 3, S and X) in 2018 as planned, the automaker will work through its backlog fairly quickly and everything should work out fine.
But if god forbid Tesla misses some deadlines, it will create headaches for a lot of people, including the automaker. The next important deadline is pencil down on the design of the Model 3, which should be this week based on Elon Musk's most recent timeline.
At the Code Conference last month (or exactly 6 weeks ago), Elon said that Tesla will stop working on the design of the Model 3 in about 6 weeks:
"Almost all of the Model 3's design is done and we are aiming for pencil down basically in about 6 weeks."
The vehicle's design was very well-received with the prototypes unveiled back in March, but Elon confirmed that Tesla was still working on "some tweaking" on the front-end of the vehicle as well as "edge and contour refinements". The goal is the hit a record-breaking (for a volume production car) drag coefficient of 0.21.
Those refinements are what should be completed by now if Tesla managed to hit the pencil down deadline. Tesla representatives didn't respond to Electrek several requests of an update on the timeline of the design finalization and the general Model 3 schedule yesterday.
Update: A Tesla spokesperson got back to us today confirming that the Model 3 is still "on track".
Tesla was also working on improving the design of the prototype's trunk for a bigger opening in the production. This weekend, Elon confirmed that Tesla already fixed the issue – hinting at progress on the design.

The final design and some additional features of the Model 3 are expected to be unveiled in a "second part" to the unveil event, which Musk said will happen "closer to production" – potentially later this year. He also talked about publishing the second part of his "Secret Master Plan for Tesla" later this week, which could potentially include some more information about the Model 3.
At Code, Musk was directly asked if Tesla was planning an event following the design deadline to reveal any final change and after a little hesitation, he said that Tesla is not expecting an event in 6 weeks, but he did say that we shouldn't expect delays for the Model 3 simply because the S and X were delayed:
"The biggest thing is designing the car for manufacturing. In the case of Model S, it was the first time that we really built a car – a whole car. With the Roadster, Lotus did the chassis and we did the powertrain and final assembly, but the Model S was the first time we made a car.
We were just trying to make a great car, but we had no idea what it meant to design something manufacturable – so Model S is super hard to make and the Model X is built off the Model S' platform,"
He later compared the process to designing the Model 3:
"[With the Model 3] we are making something that is a lot simpler, but still a car that people will love and where every design decision is factoring in manufacturability and making sure that when we design something that we can manufacture at volume, at an affordable price, and on the schedule we are targeting."
Here's the relevant part of the Q&A:
Tesla is currently working on a $1.2 billion expansion of its Fremont factory for the production of the Model 3, which should start in late 2017 for deliveries soon after. The Model 3 will start at $35,000 with a range of over 215 miles for the base version.

Tesla is a transportation and energy company. It sells vehicles under its 'Tesla Motors' division and stationary battery pack for home, commercial and utility-scale projects under its 'Tesla Energy' division.
The Tesla Model 3 is the first vehicle built on Tesla's third-generation platform. It aims to reduce the entry price for electric vehicles while not making any compromise on range and performance. The Model 3 starts at $35,000 in the US and deliveries to employees and company insiders began in mid 2017 - customer deliveries begin in late 2017.

City Hall Developer Open to Including Library
by Voice of San Diego March 12, 2009 March 15, 2022
The idea of including a library in a possible rebuilding of the City Hall complex has been provoking some chatter, as Scott Lewis has written.
The developer who has proposed building a new City Hall complex told me recently that he'd be willing to consider including a library in the plans if that's what the City Council wants.
"If the city decides to change gears at some point and wants to study that, we'd be willing to study that," said Tom Cody of Gerding Edlen said, adding that the company hasn't drawn up any plans for a library because it hasn't been asked to.
Cody said a library is like "a living room to the community, so adding that to the mix adds so much vibrancy to it all."
I asked Cody about including the library because Councilman Carl DeMaio mentioned recently that Centre City Development Corp. had analyzed the issue in August in response to DeMaio's questions. DeMaio has advocated studying the idea, though he opposes both building a downtown library and a new City Hall, at least for another decade.
In a letter to DeMaio, Jeff Graham, CCDC's assistant vice president for redevelopment, estimated that the city could raise from $24 million to $30 million by selling the East Village site slated for a downtown library (or schoobrary).
Such a move would mean less space on the City Hall site for private development, which would reduce by $7.4 million the price Gerding Edlen would pay the city for the land.
However, Graham said those numbers are back-of-the-envelope estimates, and should be taken with a grain of salt. For one thing, he said, the real estate market has changed significantly since August. He also noted that a more formal analysis would have to be completed to examine, for instance, how much the library space would shrink if it was combined with a City Hall complex.
"I made a lot of assumptions that haven't really been vetted with anyone except me," he said.
DeMaio thinks the city could save more by replacing space designated for future city expansion with the library. However, Graham said including expansion space was a critical part of the plans because it would avoid the current problem, in which the city must lease space because it outgrew the buildings it owns.
Unsurprisingly, DeMaio — an advocate of privatization and shrinking government — doesn't believe officials should assume the city will grow and need more space.
Lest you think that all this talk means a library could sway DeMaio into the camp supporting a new City Hall, the councilman said he'll still vote against the idea. "If I can't stop a dumb idea from going forward, I'm going to try to smarten it up," he said.
The whole issue of including the library isn't a part of a review of the City Hall proposal. A draft of that review has been circulating and the final version is due out next week.

Jackson County was established on August 12, 1822, the year after the United States received possession of the Floridas. The Act of the Territorial Legislative Council divided West Florida into two counties, Jackson and Escambia. At that time, Jackson County included all the territory between the Choctawhatchee and Suwannee Rivers, an area that now encompasses land in seventeen North Florida counties. Jackson County is the third county established in Florida and is named in honor of Andrew Jackson, who was the Governor of the Territories of East and West Florida. The county seat is Marianna, incorporated November 5, 1828.
Jackson County hosts an array of historic homes dating back prior to the Civil War. The fifth Governor of Florida, John Milton owned thousands of acres of land at what is now known as Blue Springs, and close to Neal's Landing. He is laid to rest at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Marianna. The antebellum homes that still stand today are a glimpse of the gorgeous homes of what was known as 'silk stocking row' in Marianna. Great Oaks Plantation in Greenwood is thought one of the last antebellum homes built in the south.
Jackson County's early history can be found in the 1600s when Spanish explorers walked through the area from Mission San Luis. The Jackson County Spanish Heritage Trail tells the story in a 150-mile tour throughout the county detailing several mission sites, battles, and revolts.

Madeleine Bunting is to rejoin the Guardian after resigning as director of Demos, the thinktank she joined one month ago.
She will resume her position as associate editor and again take up her regular column in the paper.
"Since it has emerged that her vision for Demos is incompatible with that of the trustees, she has decided to focus on her interests as a writer and a thinker at this point in her career," a statement from the thinktank said.
Ms Bunting has also agreed to write a book about the countryside. "Demos has played an important role in shaping key public debates in the past, and I wish it well in taking that mission forward," she said.
Catherine Fieschi has been made acting director with immediate effect.
Andrew MacKenzie, the chair of the Demos board of trustees said: "I regret, but understand, Madeleine's decision, and wish her the very best for the future."

Anyone else having issues with these? I'm on my 3rd one in a little over a year. Yes I run the darn thing nearly non stop but at $38 a pop getting tired of replacing them. The wheel that keeps the filament pressed against the hobbed drive roller seems to move some how and gets hung up so it stops feeding. Quick press on the red release and boom it works again not sure what or where it is hanging up has to be a very small thing catching it. Am I alone with this issue or are other having the same thing? Is there a better 3rd party replacement?
Re: EZR struder wearing out?
Sounds to me like the hobbed gear isn't properly aligned with the bearing that's on the feed lever.
They absolutely wear out. I've gone through two already.
Anytime you use abrasive filament (CF filled, wood, etc) it'll wear a grove in the plastic and just so slightly misalign the filament.
Got around this issue by upgrading to Bondtech BMG extruders.... haven't looked back since.

Hey there o-m-hochstetler
So far, I have to say I agree with Crazy565k on just about every point they made, so I don't wish to just repeat them. Consider my thoughts to largely be a +1 to those comments.
It is obvious you've put a lot of work in here. I also found the humor didn't jive well with the rest of the tone. Buthead/dogfarts aside, a lot of that was referential humor, and it seems you're in agreement there.
I'd add that using Earthbound as an example, modern references worked better in that game because the settings was very similar to modern-day North America. The examples given don't quite jive here, but references to fantasy settings, other RPGs, etc work well as long you don't beat people over the head with them.
To expand on Crazy565k's example of Kyle's description of Shovel Knight believing in its world and not resorting to 'winks and nods', I played 'The Messenger' recently and found it didn't seem to believe in itself in that same way. The game starts off with some excellent platforming action that wore its Ninja Gaiden inspiration on its sleeve, and there's an interesting story hook. And then you get the ability to wall hang from a mystical shopkeeper, who says the technique was invented by "Joe Gaiden"...and it took me right out of the game. I still enjoyed it, but I found myself gritting my teeth whenever I had to interact with an NPC, because large sections of dialogue just seemed to be "See! See this is what we're referencing! Isn't that clever?!" I'd rather just enjoy the story and world the creator has made.
So, I wouldn't say get rid of all references, but things don't need to be fourth-wall-breaking. As Crazy565k, the dialogue in the tavern is largely good, and I think your writing works well on its own.
Since you mention that you'll be releasing a Prologue 2.0, I think I'm going to hold off on playing the rest of this version, and wait to see what you've changed. All the best with the revision. I'll be looking forward to it.
Hey there. Just downloaded the game an hopeing to give it a shot over the next few days.
Crazy565k, I didn't have any trouble finding it as 'o.m. hawk' without the capitalizations.

Demand for recognition of one's identity is a master concept that unifies much of what is going on in world politics today. The universal recognition on which liberal democracy is based has been increasingly challenged by narrower forms of recognition based on nation, religion, sect, race, ethnicity, or gender, which have resulted in anti-immigrant populism, the upsurge of politicized Islam, the fractious "identity liberalism" of college campuses, and the emergence of white nationalism. The demand for identity cannot be transcended; we must begin to shape identity in a way that supports rather than undermines democracy. The IRC is pleased to be able to offer this opportunity as a benefit for IRC members. To check your membership status or register for the call, please contact contact Matthew ».

Gallipoli: A Short History
By Michael McKernan
A concise and very readable account of the whole Gallipoli campaign.
Jack Fothergill worked on Melbourne's trams before he went to war and was killed on Pine Ridge on 25 April 1915. In Gallipoli, Michael McKernan tells Jack's story and that of his family, who never recovered from their grief. He also tells the stories of journalist Charles Bean, Chaplain Bill McKenzie, John Treloar and General Ian Hamilton, capturing the essence of what it was really like for the men who fought on the Gallipoli peninsula during that long campaign.
While saluting the bravery, determination and resourcefulness of the Anzacs, McKernan also tells of the failed leadership in London and on the Peninsula that caused great loss of life. He makes clear that 'the most dramatic moment in Australian history' was known to be unwinnable within fifteen hours of the first Anzacs going ashore.
There are few, if any, new issues to emerge from the story of Anzac, but Gallipoli puts the facts in a new context and brings to the fore the essential moments in the campaign. This intense account gives clarity to the story and is a reminder that loss of life in war is always personal, always tragic an always has consequences.

The success and strong growth of ISS in Asia Pacific has earned ISS the title as the Facilities Management Company of the Year at the annual Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards in Singapore.
"Started out as a single service provider and transformed into the outstanding company with impressive portfolio today, ISS has come a long way and done remarkably well in expanding its service offerings and outshine others in Asia-Pacific. In 2012, the company has achieved commendable performance at the global, as well as at the Asia-Pacific level, through securing some of the largest contracts in ISS history," said Manoj Menon, Partner & Managing Director, Asia Pacific, in a connection with the Award show in Singapore and continued:
"ISS leverages on its self-delivery capabilities and sales strategy to push its integrated facility services penetration in their acutely selected end-user sectors. The company's understanding and choice of markets to penetrate, has allowed the company to expand its client portfolio successfully. This can be observed through ISS' successful penetration into the infrastructure and energy end-user sectors. The high number of contracts secured in 2012 has put the company in a very competitive position in Asia-Pacific, despite being a relatively young market participant in the energy end-user sector. ISS is likely to grow strongly in the future with its remarkable market revenue in Asia-Pacific."
Thomas Hinnerskov, Regional CEO, ISS Asia Pacific also used the opportunity to thank the many ISS employees in the region & said "Our employees are at the core of ISS. Without their deep engagement and all the purpose and pride they put into their daily efforts to service our customers, we would never have achieved this recognition. A personal thanks goes to each and every one of our 203,337 employees in the region,"

The Work Is Innocent
Richard Goodman, the hero of The Work Is Innocent, takes an extraordinary leap when his novel is published at seventeen and and he's plunged into the deep waters of adult life. What's it like to be a young man introduced to sex at the height of feminism, to achieve your lifelong ambition before you can vote? In a straight-forwardly autobiographical work, Yglesias's unique coming of age story, of managing work pressures and adult relationships while stuck in a teenager's head, is a revelation.
It is a spectacular achievement, while you are still growing up, to write a good novel about growing up—which is what this author did at age 15. Now, at the ripe age of 22, Rafael Yglesias looks over his shoulder and tells what it was like. Another bull's-eye.

THE SLIPPERY SLOPE OF "TERRORISM"
IF A TREE FALLS'S SAM CULLMAN In Conversation with Williams Cole
Given the infamous anniversary that this month of September brings, Marshall Curry and Sam Cullman's documentary If A Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front is a film relevant on many levels. The film is centered around the story of Daniel McGowan, who took part in two arsons committed in the name of the radical environmental group known as the Earth Liberation Front (ELF). Through many years of filming McGowan after he and the ELF cell he was a part of were arrested by federal agents, If A Tree Falls explores complex questions about social change through means that target private property rather than human life and how government prosecution in the post-9/11 era aggressively uses wide definitions of terrorism—a strategy with potentially more destructive consequences than the dark eras of Red-baiting that stain American history. I spoke with Sam Cullman, co-director, producer and cinematographer of If A Tree Falls (who was also Assistant Producer of 2005's Giuliani Time, a film I produced with Kevin Keating).
Williams Cole (Rail): I think it strikes people that Daniel McGowan is not the type of personality that would stereotypically be involved in militant actions like arson and property damage, though his convictions are clear and his rationale is undeniable in many ways. How did this inform the message of the film?
Sam Cullman: Daniel is a native New Yorker—the son of a transit cop and a business major in college who hadn't really known the wilderness or ever even slept outside until after he'd graduated. Without a doubt, he didn't fit the profile of what you might imagine for a radical environmentalist—someone who faced terrorism charges as well as a staggering potential sentence of life in prison for arson. This was something we were sensitive to in making the film—and I think it also helped us get to the intersection of issues that the documentary explores. This is a mainstream-seeming guy anchoring the story, not some Black Bloc Anarchist type. You can see yourself in his shoes or at least probably know someone like him and (for a little while, anyway) I think that creates space for viewers to suspend judgment of Daniel and his choices. One of the first things Daniel says in the film is, "This thing is complex and it's not that simple." From there, the film sets out to tell Daniel's story, to explore why and how he did what he did in all its complexity of cause and effect. We filmed him for a year and a half —5 years after he'd committed these crimes and turned away from the ELF. So there was a lot of time and the circumstances were right for Daniel to reflect on his past and the consequences of his choices—many of which had a devastating impact on both the arson victims and also the movement itself. And so in exploring the progression of Daniel's path as an activist and the development of the movement that he joined, we felt indebted to make a film that mirrored the complexity of issues and perspectives inherent to this history. At its core, the film tells a political story that should test peoples' preconceived beliefs about activism, environmentalism, and the meaning of terrorism in America today.
Rail: One of the most important questions the film asks, from my point of view, is how the term "terrorism" is defined and used. How did this play into the subject of the film?
Cullman: The question of terrorism is a central theme in the film. It's a question that the United Nations has struggled to define—without consensus—for decades. And it's also a question that our own federal government, which pursued and won enhanced sentences for ELF members in this case, appears divided over. Different wording is used by federal agencies from Homeland Security to the State Department to the F.B.I. to define the meaning of terrorism. And it's important to note that the term has been applied by the government and in the media to call out environmental activists who came before the ELF and were much less radical—like those activists at Warner Creek (that first forest protest in the film) or even Judi Bari who all basically engaged in 1960s style civil disobedience. And of course you can look back at social and political movements across the history of our country and find the word applied to "troublemakers" of all stripes. There are many shades of gray in this film and the story we cover, but on this issue, I think the Police Captain in Eugene, Oregon, got it right when, towards the end of the film he evokes the old adage, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," and, referring to the charges that these ELF members were threatened with life in prison for, says, "Arson is arson. But is it terrorism?" The message here is that it's hard not to see terrorism both legally and, certainly rhetorically, as a very subjectively applied term.
Rail: And that subjectively applied term has real effects on an open society.
SC: Yes, as a society we should take pause at this if for no other reason than that the term "terrorism" has become such a central part of our lives and collective mindset since 9/11. And whether it is security checks at airports or enhanced surveillance procedures like warrantless wiretapping, it's clear that anti-terrorism enforcement has gained new powers. When we consider against whom these powers may be applied, we should take pause at what becomes a very slippery slope. It's been said that the word terrorism brings more heat than light—and I think there is wisdom in that. This is not to diminish the fear and destructive violation that the arson victims of the ELF experienced. While the ELF had taken extraordinary precautions not to harm life in these actions—and their track record is impeccable—arson is absolutely unpredictable and dangerous and while the ELF may have seen themselves as pacifists, their victim's trauma was real. The folks we interviewed talked about installing alarms in their homes where they never had before and feared getting into their cars after the arsons, not knowing if it had been rigged with a bomb. But while some people who have seen the film are certain that these ELF actions were surely examples of domestic terrorism, others are not convinced and have wondered, under these terms, if we should also think of victims of domestic violence as having experienced acts of terrorism. And what about victims of theft or violent assault? Their point, I think, is that the term starts to get really broad and that it becomes dangerous as the label expands.
Rail: And if the label is so malleable according to the whims of prosecutors and the media, then that adds more danger?
SC: Democracies rely on people believing in the system of justice. And I think the subjectivity inherent in the terrorism application can only work to separate people from their faith in the fair workings of their government and society. Daniel McGowan, whom the film centers around, would often note that senseless property damage as opposed to the politically motivated kind is treated very differently. He'd point to the fact that kids who burn cars and riot in the streets after a sports match typically don't get much more than criminal mischief charges, while his environmentally and ideologically-motivated arsons were met with terrorism enhancements and the threat of life in prison.
Rail: Everyone that cares about social change—be it to the left or the right—considers the viability of methods beyond peaceful protest and conventional politics. What did the actions of the ELF teach us about this viability in contemporary America?
SC: I think this film can potentially offer lessons to people interested in social movements and political change, be they radical, militant, mainstream, or otherwise. Ultimately, it is not just a film about environmental activism and questions of terrorism, but it's a kind of coming-of-age story that asks audiences to consider their place in the world—to consider where their passions lie and what they're going to do about it. ELF members lost confidence in the operation, integrity, and efficacy of government and society to confront the challenges we face with climate change and environmental degradation. But where one might admire their passion and willingness to take action in a world where real change is so difficult, the story is also full of warnings about the viability of more radical routes to social change. We can't ignore the devastation these ELF actions caused their victims. And as Daniel points out in the film, the primary reaction to the arsons in the media and society at large was not to focus on the issues they'd hoped to raise, but the arsons themselves. And since, as a movement, the ELF was born of frustration and evolved in frustration, I think it was ultimately more of an alienating rather than a galvanizing force for the people they wanted to reach. Unable to harvest a broader movement, they became isolated in their activism and very isolatable by the police and federal authorities. And where mainstream environmentalists have also been quick to distance themselves from this movement, I think there are lessons for them as well in this story as they set out to confront the very real and daunting issues we face with the environment. How had they come to lose these potential allies?
Rail: Yet these kinds of political passions for change are part of viable democracy. So what is the central lesson?
SC: Without a doubt, the heavy charges and terrorism enhancements in this case have likely provoked reconsideration by would-be arsonists, and the ELF has certainly been quieted in recent years, perhaps in the wake of this case. You can't fault the federal government for trying to combat and discourage the use of arson—but as of late, tough sentences and "terror" charges have been brought in cases that did not involve fires at all. And one law in particular, the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, criminalizes acts of "economic disruption" such as aggressive picketing, boycotts, and undercover investigations by activists that result in profit losses to animal enterprise—business like fur farms, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, and the like. While that law has already been used to successfully put members of at least one activist group in prison, one dismissed indictment in 2009 demonstrates the potential chilling effect for activists who we might otherwise think of as engaged in peaceful protest. Four individuals were indicted under the AETA for chanting and distributing flyers claimed to be threatening at home demonstrations outside the houses of professors involved in animal testing research. The charges were eventually dropped but the defendants were placed under house arrest for half a year. Activists look at cases like this ask themselves if their activism is worth the costs. Certainly this is problematic—civil disobedience and the like is, after all, a cornerstone of our democracy. As alluded to in the film, what about the Boston Tea Party? Or what about the legacy of Martin Luther King who called his work a "moral duty"?
We've talked about this film as a cautionary tale that on the one hand encourages activists to think about the ethics and effectiveness of the actions in which they choose to get involved. What is really the best path to effect the change that we so desperately need? On the other hand, we also hope it encourages the rest of society to realize that the way government responds to activism can either radicalize people or bring them into the democratic process. Activist or otherwise, we hope that people walk away from the movie thinking about their own stake in all this.

PDRIVE CLUTCH: A major factor in the quickness of REV sleds is the new pDrive clutch. Fast and friction-free dual rollers transfer torque in place of traditional sliding buttons on this 100% new clutch. The oversize rollers with needle bearings, wide flyweights and shaft-on-shaft design emphasize smooth operation and long life. Ultra-responsive shifting, impressive RPM consistency and 2.8 lb. (1.3 kg) lighter than the TRA VII.
POWDERMAX LIGHT TRACK WITH FLEXEDGE: New 3.5 in. (9 cm) pitch reduces weight, and keeps snow between lugs for added performance. Exclusive 16 in. (41 cm) wide design adds flotation and traction without sacrificing manoeuvrability. Edges flex to reduce the effort to initiate roll-up. Available in either 2.5 or 3.0 in. (6.3 or 7.63 cm) lug heights.
RAS 3 FRONT SUSPENSION: Similar geometry and design to the stable and precise RAS 2, optimized for the Gen4 REV platform with 1 in. (25 mm) added suspension stroke and .7 lb. (0.3 kg) reduced weight vs. RAS 2.


Carrie Slayton, a big-city-society-page columnist, longs to write more serious news stories. Her editor hands her a challenge. She can cover any topic she wants but only if she first scores an interview with Finn Dalton, a notoriously reclusive author.
Living in the remote Alaskan wilderness, Finn has written a mega bestselling memoir about surviving in the wild. But he stubbornly declines to anyone in the press, and no one knows exactly where he lives. Digging deep into Finn's life Carrie flies out to snowy Alaska. When she finally finds Finn, she discovers a man both more charismatic and more stubborn than she expected. Soon she is torn between pursuing her story of a lifetime, or following her heart.
This was a very pleasant and satisfying read, it was a story that was fun and easy to read. A holiday season book - I could easily see this making a very satisfying holiday season movie. I like this kind of plot; a reclusive author and a journalist seeking an interview. Overcoming challenges the journalist finally arrives and then the sparks fly. As it is partly set in Alaska, that gave it an edge and the addition of a somewhat fickle and loveable animal added to the fun.
Carrie and Finn were two characters that I liked and the story at times moved from one point of view to the other - another small point in the favor of this book. It is a shorter book with its 256 pages as holiday season books tend to be. I read it in one day, and as I had had a rather difficult and challenging week, it was just the right read for me. Uplifting but not requiring a lot of brain power.
In romance stories like this one, there is often a coming together of the characters - an attraction and then something that parts them - until they then find their way back together. I found the cause of separation in Starry Nights somewhat unsatisfying to me, a little contrived. It was a part of the book that disappointed me, otherwise I enjoyed it. A very gentle romance story.
Sounds like a sweet holiday story!

Ban Cluster Bombs in Civilian Areas - The Washington Times
By Senator Dianne Feinstein | Dec 04 2006
President Bush, at a news conference last week, admitted that the war in Iraq is ``straining the psyche of the country.'' While this is certainly true, it only scratches the surface of the damage done by our nation's misadventures in Iraq.
In fact, the Bush administration's failed strategy and tactics in Iraq have significantly diminished the United States' standing in the world and made waging the global war on terror more difficult.
That's why I believe the time has come to move in a different direction in Iraq.
The present course is deteriorating. This has been evident for the past year, yet there has been no effort to change the course of the war.
Our nation's policy continues to move down the same failed path, which buttresses the Shiite-dominated government and prevents it from making the political accommodations necessary to end the insurgency and move the country away from the brink of civil war.
In 2005, three young Cambodian boys were playing near their village when they found four small steel objects that they picked up and used to play an impromptu game of marbles. Their new-found toys, however, were actually "bomblets" left from a cluster bomb that had been dropped years before. In the middle of their game, one of the balls was struck by another, triggering an explosion. One boy died from massive abdominal wounds. The other two boys survived with serious injuries.
Similarly, in Kosovo in 1999, a teenage boy went for a swimming in a lake near his home, where he found a small yellow canister. When he showed off his discovery to his family, the bomblet fell to the ground and exploded. It left him permanently wounded and killed his older brother and father. Several months later, his sister stepped on another cluster bomb in the region and was killed.
These terrible stories, unfortunately, are all too common in war-torn areas around the world. Tens of thousands of innocent men, women, and children have been killed or maimed by these indiscriminate and deadly weapons. They were used in Laos in the 1970s and 1980s, Eritrea and Ethiopia in 1998, Serbia and Montenegro 1999, Afghanistan in 2001, Iraq in 2003, and most recently by both sides during the conflict between Israel and Lebanon.
The time has come to ban the use of these weapons in or near civilian areas.
Cluster bombs are intended for attacking large-scale enemy troop formations. They come apart in the air before making contact, dispersing between 200 and 400 small bomblets that can saturate a radius of 250 yards.
The changing nature of warfare, though, has meant cluster bombs have been used against enemies in or near highly populated areas. So, all too often, cluster bombs critically injure or kill innocent victims instead of their intended military targets.
The danger is this: These weapons are unreliable and cannot be used with precision. Up to 40 percent of the bomblets from cluster bombs fail to detonate immediately. This leaves a trail of unexploded munitions in war-torn areas.
These tiny bomblets end up in streets and cities. They land in trees and fields where children play. They have been found in rice fields.
Bomblets are usually no bigger than a size D battery. In some cases, they resemble small metal tennis balls. They are attractive to curious young children who find them and pick them up. And 40 or 50 years after used, these munitions remain extremely volatile.
The simple truth is that the remnants of cluster bombs become de facto land mines. They kill, maim, and wound civilians every day, even long after conflict has ended. In fact, 98 percent of cluster bomb victims are civilians. I believe use of these weapons in or near civilian areas runs counter to our values and counter to the international laws of war.
Today, the arsenal of the U.S. military contains 5.5 million cluster bombs. That's 728 million bomblets. We need to take steps to ensure civilians are protected when these weapons are deployed.
So, when the Senate convenes for the new Congress in January, I will seek to ban the use of federal funds spent on cluster bombs until the Defense Department has articulated a new policy that will minimize civilian death and suffering from these weapons.
This means cluster bombs used or purchased by the U.S. military or sold to another country can only be used against clearly defined military targets and will not be used where civilians are known to be present or in areas normally inhabited by civilians.
The International Committee for the Red Cross and U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan recently called for prohibiting use of cluster bombs in populated areas. Their calls echoed a growing international consensus that the unintended humanitarian cost of these weapons is simply too high.
During the 1990s, a comprehensive pact was forged to protect civilians from land mines worldwide. The United States and the international community have since spent millions to remove mines in post-conflict regions. These efforts have helped to save countless lives. There is no question there should be a similar program for cluster bombs.
In November, a wide-ranging treaty went into effect to protect civilians, peacekeepers and other humanitarian agencies in post-conflict regions from cluster bombs. It will require parties to an armed conflict to clear all unexploded cluster bombs and other munitions once hostilities have ended. It is a good first step.
The United States and the international community should work together to stop use of cluster bombs when the lives of civilians are at risk. We need to ensure we don't needlessly endanger innocent men, women, and children by dropping cluster bombs where they live, work, and play. This is the right and just thing to do.

Located at a distance of 49 kilometers from Chittoor, Tirumala Temple, Talakona Waterfalls is one of the highest waterfalls in the country. With white streams of water falling from a height of 270 feet, Talakona waterfalls present a breathtaking view amid serene natural surroundings. The term Talakona means head-hill. It's derived from Telugu word, Tala means head while Kona means hill, signifying the'head of Seshachalam hills'.

It is thought that Talakona waterfall has curative qualities, its water that flows through a variety of medicinal and herbal plants, has the power of curing many diseases. Its natural beauty allures many photographers who would come to see Talakona waterfalls photos. Originating from Seshachalam Hills, this waterfall is found in the Sri Venkateswara National Park, which will be another area comprising of Talakona tourism. This place also makes for an ideal picnic spot, where tourists can spend several moments of comfort amid the best of settings.

Those who enjoy adventure can also trek to the waterfall as there are many trek routes to the waterfall. Trekkers may also encounter many temples, that are situated in and around mountains. It is believed that saints used to meditate in such caves. The hiking route is in the Lord Siddeswara Swamy Temple, which is situated quite close to the waterfall. Constructed 1811 AD, with a devotee Appa Swamy, it is frequently visited by pilgrims. The trek from the temple into the Talakona waterfall could be covered in 30 minutes throughout the woods; the distance is about 2 kilometers.

impact investing, Social Impact
by socialadvocatemedia February 24, 202010:51 am March 24, 2020
Lord Victor Adebowale sets up Commission on Social Investment
Lord Victor Adebowale CBE, Chair of Social Enterprise UK, has announced the creation of a new Commission on Social Investment which will look at the future of this £3.5bn market and how it and the wider investment market can serve the growth of the UK's 100,000 social enterprises and help build a new economy.
The Commission is being supported by Fusion21 – a national social enterprise, which supports its public sector members to procure smarter and deliver on their social impact and sustainability goals.
The independent Commission will operate over the spring and summer with a report due to be launched in the Autumn.
The Commission will be made up of independent commissioners from a range of organisations and backgrounds who will examine the current state of the social investment market, the wider products and services available in mainstream finance and make practical recommendations for government, social investors and social enterprises on what needs to happen to unlock the future potential of social enterprises.
Alongside Lord Victor Adebowale CBE, confirmed Commissioners include:
Dr. Jessica Daggers – researcher on impact investing and social investment
Jamie Broderick – former CEO of UBS Wealth Management and board member of the Impact Investing Institute
Dr. Susan Aktemel – Executive Director, Homes for Good (Scotland) CIC and Business Fellow of the University of Strathclyde
Chris Murray, Director of Core Cities Group and Chair of Fusion21
Other commissioners will be announced in due course.
The Commission will launch a Call for Evidence shortly, asking social enterprises for their experience of social investment, what they need for the future and how the current market meets their needs. The Commission will then take evidence from the social investment community.
The Commission will also hold a number of witness sessions in the House of Lords to give social enterprises, social investors and experts the chance to give their views on the state of the market and how it needs to adapt for the future. The Commission will also undertake interviews and desk research to better understand social enterprises place within the wider economy and other investment markets. Following this process, the Commission will then issue a report with recommendations.
Commenting on the launch of the Commission, Lord Victor Adebowale said:
"Social enterprises are the future of business and social investment is a critical part of achieving the sector's potential. The aim of this Commission is not to look back on what has gone right or wrong in the past, but to focus on the future and how we unlock the full power of the financial markets to support social enterprises."
"We are launching this Commission with no preconceptions or proposals, but with an open mind and bold aspirations."
"I hope that government, social investors and social enterprises will engage with this Commission and I look forward to seeing what we find out."
Supporter of the Commission Chris Murray, Chair of Fusion21 and the Fusion21 Foundation said:
"The UK's social enterprise sector is a powerful tool for public and economic good. Yet although it is growing and diversifying, the sector as a whole shows signs of very significant untapped potential to do far more.
"Access to finance and the ability to use it through investable propositions is one way of unlocking the resource that social enterprise represents. This could not only benefit communities and individuals throughout the UK, but also diversify our national economic model in a way that will make us more economically, socially and environmentally resilient, at a moment of real change. As a social enterprise ourselves, we're proud to support this Commission which goes to the heart of these issues."

036-0002 Abingdon Glebe House
Photo credit: Mae Tilley/DHR, 2021
This architecturally engaging dwelling belongs to Virginia's collection of colonial glebe houses, structures built to serve their parishes either as a rental property or as rectories. The house originally served Abingdon Parish, the second church of which is a short distance away. Abingdon Glebe House in Gloucester County was standing as early as 1724 when it was mentioned in a report by the rector, Thomas Hughes, to the bishop of London. Built of Flemish bond with glazed headers, the T-shaped house with its original low wings illustrates the transition from the irregular vernacular structures of the 17th century to the symmetrical houses of the Georgian period. The hipped roofs of the wings are among Virginia's earliest uses of that roof form. The house and its glebe lands were confiscated from the parish and sold during the disestablishment. The Abingdon Glebe House property has been in private ownership ever since.

5 of the stupidest things said in the US presidential campaign
The candidates are saying lots of idiotic things where it counts — politically.
Guests wait for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump | Getty
By Glenn Thrush
November 6, 2015 1:05 pm CET
The gaffe-phobic script of modern American politics has been shredded, stomped on and set ablaze in 2016 — especially on the Republican side. The GOP base wants passion in its candidates, and the media has grown accustomed to the Trump treatment — contestants who call their foes nasty, dishonest, short, pathetic, fifth-rate losers with ugly scrunched-up faces.
Yet the race doesn't always (or ever, really) go to the loudest. They aren't paying for it yet, but the free-to-be-me candidates are saying lots of stupid things — stupid not merely in terms of veracity, logic or taste but stupid where it counts — politically.
Take Dr. Ben Carson, who clambered to the top on the strength of companionable reticence: His position as Trump's co-frontrunner is being undermined this week by a series of odd utterances that include an unearthed assertion that his "own personal theory" is Egypt's pyramids were built to hold grain.
The mystery of Rudy Giuliani's spokeswoman
By Daniel Lippman and Tina Nguyen
Waiting for Obama
Who will betray Trump?
By Tim Alberta
Here are five of the politically stupidest things candidates have said so far and what these misfires say about the fates of their campaigns:
1. Bernie Sanders: "The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails."
If Bernie Sanders was a capitalist he would call his dismissal of the Clinton email scandal in the first Democratic debate a "market mover." Setting a civil tone was a noble and a nice thing to do — and there may have been some underlying political rationale — rooted in his desire to draw the contrast between his unkempt authenticity and her managed-to-death plasticity. But as a strategy? Oy. Several people in Sanders' orbit have told me that it came out nicer — and more exculpatory – than he intended – though how he could have done that is unclear. The dynamic of the race has since shifted in Clinton's favor, perhaps inalterably.
It's possible to overstate the importance of Sanders' amnesty offer: Clinton was already on the way back up (in part because the media got tired of the email story and found new chew toys in the raucous, overstocked GOP field); And it's not clear if Sanders possesses the Ben & Jerry's magic — can he become a quirky, beloved New England product that finds a massive national consumer base?
The "damn emails" comment is a gift that keeps on taking from Sanders: As much as all those enthusiastic college kids shout "Feel the Bern!" — it's also about him being a cranky-cool alternative to Clinton. Driving her numbers down — that's a key to his success. And now he's being forced to make an awkward U-Turn — telling reporters that he's foursquare behind the federal investigation.
2. Donald Trump: "They're rapists."
It may be stupid, but here's one stupid quote that really helped the candidate — even if it's likely to ultimately prove destructive. "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," Trump told a crowd of New York supporters at his kick-off rally in June. "They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists."
The statement, as a legion of fact-checkers quickly told the world, was false and muy estupido in the judgment of the increasingly important Spanish-language media. True, it quickly established Trump as the party's bluntest critic of comprehensive immigration reform (placing a one-time Democrat and social liberal well to the right of Jeb Bush at a time when he needed to prove his conservative bona fides) and prefigured his wildly successful assault on prissy political correctness.
But it's a complete disaster (to use Trump's favored coinage) in the long term: Wiser heads in the GOP have long known that Spanish speakers are the fastest growing demographic in battleground states — and the GOP share of the Hispanic vote plummeted to 27 percent four years ago after cresting at nearly 40 percent in 2004. Latino voters are a diverse group (many are receptive to a wider discussion of reducing inflows of immigrants from the south border) but they are acutely sensitive to tone, as Mitt Romney learned when he urged Mexicans to "self-deport" in 2012. Trump's tone, compared with Romney's dispassionate diss, is a two-by-four to the temple — and rest assured Democrats will run a loop of his comments during the general election whether he's the nominee or not.
3. Hillary Clinton: "What? With like a cloth or something?"
Take a candidate whose biggest problem is the perception that she is allergic to the truth, add a smoldering dumpster fire of an email scandal — then have her dismiss it all with an unfunny, disingenuous, too cute-by-half quip. That's pretty much what Clinton did on August 15th when a reporter in Iowa asked her if she had scrubbed her server clean, as news reports had suggested. After she made the "cloth" joke (as her aides winced) Clinton dug the ditch deeper in her response, claiming, "I don't know how it works digitally at all."
Even staffers and donors I talked to at the time didn't buy it: the email server issue, they knew, had occupied much of Clinton's time for months — and despite her self-styled high-tech ignorance, she is a famously fast study who tends to demand granular detail from staff. The storm of the emails has abated, at least for now, but her tendency to make light of questions about her integrity — and provide only as much fact as she wants to — is a problem that will almost certainly bedevil her campaign again.
4. Ben Carson: That whole "Egyptian-pyramids-warehoused-grain-giving-German Jews-handguns-would-have-stopped-the-Holocaust-prison-makes-you-gay-no-Muslim-should-be-president" thing.
In scrubs craned over a blue-draped patient, Ben Carson is an exacting surgical genius, steely of nerve and fastidious beyond the capacity of less gifted mortals. Put him in a suit before an audience of conservative stalwarts? Wow, just, wow.
During the first few months of his candidacy, Carson made a few, ahem, highly questionable assertions; The Pulitzer-winning PolitiFact has rated 17 statements the neurosurgeon has made and deemed none — zero — to be even partially true. But his most frowned-upon quotes delighted the base, including his belief that no Muslim was fit to serve as president — an ironic statement by a man whose own ancestors were barred from voting in many places until the 1960s. Despite other deeply dubious claims (German Jews could have avoided annihilation if laws had allowed them to carry handguns, he argued, again contradicting serious historians) his trustworthiness ratings dwarfed those of any other Republican candidates.
Lately, Carson's words are coming back to haunt — and his opponents are increasingly inclined to ridicule, especially on the pyramid yarn. "I think I'll have to put that into my repertoire when I talk about Ben," Trump said on MSNBC Thursday. "That was a strange … that was a strange deal."
5. Jeb Bush: "I have a lot of really cool things that I can do…"
Characteristically, Bush's dumbest remark was a massacred snippet of a call for political civility that might have been compelling coming from somebody else. The full quote is decidedly un-stupid: "If this election is about how we're going to fight to get nothing done, then I don't want anything, I don't want any part of it," Bush said last month in South Carolina. "I don't want to be elected president to sit around and see gridlock just become so dominant that people are literally in decline in their lives. That is not my motivation. I have a lot of really cool things that I can do other than sit around and be miserable listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them. That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that."
Another candidate (perhaps one whose father and brother chose another line of work) might have gotten away with it. Fairly or not, Bush came across as a whiny patrician suggesting he was too good to run for the nation's highest office — and gaffe might turn into epitaph.
