Thoughts on Debt Repudiation
By Keith Preston on March 1, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )
Article by Greg Johnson.
In Ancient Athens, debtors who were unable to pay their creditors lost their land and were reduced to serfs who had to give their landlords one sixth of their produce in perpetuity. If the debt exceeded the debtor's total assets, he and his family were reduced to slavery. A debtor could also become a slave by pledging his personal freedom for his debts.
By the 6th century BC, serfdom and slavery had become so widespread in Athens that the small landowners and militia men who were the backbone of Athenian society were disappearing. Wealth and power were becoming concentrated in the hands of a few families through the black arts of usury. Athens was thus in danger of losing the freedom guaranteed by its large, landed middle class, which was increasingly unable to resist the power of the rising plutocratic elite.
Thus to preserve republican government, the Athenian lawmaker Solon (c. 638 BCE–558 BCE) instituted the Seisachtheia, from seiein, to shake, and achthos, burden, i.e., to shake off the burden of debt. Solon's debt repudiation cancelled all outstanding debts, emancipated all slaves and serfs, and returned all property seized by creditors. Solon also instituted a legal limit to property size, to prevent the concentration of land into the hands of a few wealthy families.
Similar forces were at work in the Roman Republic. Debtors who defaulted could lose their property, their freedom, and even their lives to usurers. This led to the concentration of power and property in the hands of the few and the decline of the small farmers and legionaries who were the foundation and strength of the Republic.
Rome, unfortunately, lacked a statesman with the vision of Solon. There was no wholesale debt repudiation, but some palliative measures were passed. For example, one of the provisions of the Lex Licinia Sextia of 376 BCE was the distribution of captured lands to establish small farms. The Lex Poetelia Paprina of 326 BCE abolished debt bondage (nexum).
But, as Brooks Adams summarizes so compellingly, the unrelieved march of usury—along with deflation and cheap slave labor—was one of the chief causes of the destruction of Roman freedom. (See Brooks Adams, "The Romans" and my own "Brooks Adams on the Romans.")
Debt repudiation is also described in the book of Leviticus, where it is instituted on a 50 year cycle. In Leviticus 25:10, it is commanded: "Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a Jubilee unto you—and you shall return every man unto his own clan, you shall return every man to his family." This is taken to mean the abolition of debt slavery and indentured servitude.
The Jubilee is also connected with land reform. In Leviticus 25:23 we read: "The land must not be sold permanently, for the land belongs to me. You are only foreigners, my tenant farmers." In Leviticus 27:21 we read: "When the field reverts in the Jubilee year it shall become holy unto the LORD, as a field set apart; and it shall become owned by the priests."
The purpose of the Jubilee seems to be the prevention of the concentration of land (the primary form of wealth in pastoral and agricultural societies) in the hands of a few families through usury, which results in the loss of land and liberty for debtors who cannot pay. Presumably, after the Jubilee, when land reverts to God (under the administration of the priests), it is again divided up among small farmers, including newly freed slaves and indentured servants. The idea that all men are tenant farmers of God means that no men should be tenant farmers of other men, which is a strong affirmation of the idea of a society of small, independent farmers. (It is ironic that the ancient Jews argued against usury and debt slavery and in favor of agrarian populism, given the economic profile they later assumed as urban money-lenders, traders, and professionals. Apparently Jews had become an overwhelmingly urban and non-agrarian people by late antiquity.)
The common assumption of the Solonic Seisachtheia and the Biblical Jubilee is that freedom is a high political value. Freedom, moreover, is best secured by a society in which as many men as possible are free and able to support themselves on their own land. Freedom requires private property that is widely distributed. Over time, however, debt and foreclosure lead to the concentration of wealth and power into the hands of the few, leading to the loss of freedom. Thus the preservation of freedom requires wholesale debt repudiation
The fate of debtors has become easier over the centuries. Debt slavery and serfdom are no more. Debtors' prisons were abolished in the United States beginning in 1833 and in the United Kingdom in 1869. Bankruptcy laws allow people to escape crushing burdens of debt.
The moral premise of bankruptcy laws is that individuals should not have their lives and prospects ruined by financial mistakes. Society as a whole is better off if a man can shake off his debts and focus on the future: pursue an education, start a family, start a business, etc.
But if it is right for individuals to shake off their own debts, then it is certainly right to shake off the debts imposed upon us by others, including people who are long dead, i.e., public debts. Life is lived forward. Ascending life should not be shackled by the dead weight and accumulated mistakes and debts of the past.
Debt may no longer lead to slavery or prison. But debt still corrodes freedom is subtler ways. Those who are self-employed have more liberty of thought and action than employees, who are pressured to conform to the opinions and tastes of their employers. For the same reasons, property owners are freer than renters. And debt and foreclosure are the major factors in turning the self-employed into employees and property owners into renters. Thus if we wish to reestablish a society with a large middle class of self-employed farmers and businessmen, we need to revisit the idea of debt repudiation.
America's national debt is now beyond $15 trillion and counting. The debt now approaches $50,000 per American citizen, $135,000 per taxpayer. Unless we have radical change, it will only get bigger. And in addition to paying those debts, taxpayers will also have to fund Social Security, Medicare, and Prescription Drug liabilities approaching $120 trillion and counting. That means that every white baby born today is saddled with $1.2 million in federal debts and liabilities (provided that he becomes a producer not a parasite). And this does not include state and local government debts.
But ask yourself: when a pregnant Mexican sneaks across the border to drop her "anchor baby," is she bringing America another taxpayer to assume $1.2 million in debts and liabilities run up by Gringo politicians? Or is she here to add to the burdens that must be borne by white children?
Remember this when the eyes of immigration apologists grow moist describing the travails of hard-working people from around the globe who only wish to "contribute" to the great American experiment. Are they here to contribute more than $1.2 million apiece? Obviously not. They are coming to take, not contribute. They are coming to add to our burdens, not share them. Ultimately, they are coming here to replace us and our posterity. And when they are the majority, they are not going to go on laboring to feed and medicate old white people. They are going to pull the plug and take care of their own.
In addition to public debt, Americans also have trillions of dollars in personal debts, primarily in the form of credit cards, home mortgages, and student loans, some of them accruing interest at ruinous rates.
Nobody seriously thinks that all of these debts will be repaid. It is not a question of whether they will be repudiated, but how. The most likely method will be the devaluation (inflation) of the dollar. Someday, you might have the choice of paying $100,000 to pay off your student loans or to buy a cup of coffee. And since we'll always be able to buy a cup of coffee, maybe hyperinflation would not be such a scary prospect, except that it creates economic and social chaos.
Beyond that, inflation is deeply unfair. When the currency is inflated, it is not all devalued at once. Instead, huge amounts of money are handed over to politically connected insiders. When they spend this money, it has the purchasing power of the previous day's non-inflated currency. But with every subsequent transaction, as the value of the money is discounted, its purchasing power drops. So the first man who gets to spend a $100 bill can buy a nice dinner for two, but the last man who spends it can't afford a taco. That can only lead to further concentration of wealth in the hands of parasites.
From a White Nationalist point of view, the most important thing is to accomplish debt repudiation with a minimum of interference in the real economy, particularly the core biological functions of the economy: the preservation and reproduction of our race. We cannot have bursting silos and empty stomachs. We can't have creditors seizing real assets for merely notional debts.
But before we deal with practical questions, we need to deal with the moral question of the rightness of debt repudiation.
Two points of clarification: First, I am not arguing for the wholesale repudiation of debts between individuals or businesses. Sometimes such debts need to be repudiated, but this can be handled with existing bankruptcy laws.
Second, I am not arguing for the wholesale repudiation of Social Security, Medicare, and other such entitlements. I believe that these sorts of programs ought to exist in some form. The existing programs should simply be improved, not abolished.
What I specifically wish to establish is the morality of repudiating government debts and all private debts to banks.
Ultimately, only the ends justify the means, and in this case, debt repudiation is justified as the means to restore and preserve a society with widely distributed, securely held private property, which is the foundation of a large and powerful middle class. Aristotle argued that such a society best equips the majority to resist the tyranny of elites, although Aristotle could not have imagined the ultimate in tyranny: an elite so wicked that it would work for the destruction and replacement of its own people.
But debt repudiation would not merely help preserve our people. It would also simultaneously strike a blow against our enemies, who are deeply invested in the financial sector of the economy.
Let's deal with government debts first. The moral principle behind public debt is that governments, acting in the common good of the people, can create collective obligations, such as laws, treaties, or debts. Although one can question whether many government policies really are in the common good, I accept the underlying principle that there are collective goods that can justify collective obligations.
My question is: Why do governments need to go into debt in the first place? Why do governments have to borrow money at all when they can either (a) print it, or (b) raise it through taxation?
In the past, currency consisted of scarce bits of shiny metal. If the government needed more of these bits than it could raise by taxation, it had to go to people with hoards of coins and borrow them at interest.
But in today's world, in which governments can simply print money, why is there any need to borrow it from banks? Particularly when the banks themselves just make up the money they lend out.
Thus my argument is simply that public debt is wrong because it is not necessary. It is, therefore, fraudulent to justify public debt in the name of the common good. Public debt is actually a way of making the society as a whole—specifically, the taxpayers—subservient to private interests (banks) and even to alien peoples (market dominant minorities, foreign governments).
But a free people should serve its own interests—and, I would argue, the higher interests of life—not foreign interests or private interests. Such debts should, therefore, be repudiated.
As for the foreign governments holding US bonds, we should offer them the following compensation. They can keep all the factories that American businesses have built over there, and they can use them for domestic production. Because debt repudiation should go hand in hand with the restoration of economic nationalism, including tariffs on imported manufactured goods. So businesses that wish to sell products in the United States should have to manufacture them here.
As for the repudiation of debts to banks: this is necessary, because existing debts can never be repaid, and it is moral for the reasons already laid out above. Beyond that, it is morally absurd to hold that banks, which create money out of nothing, have a right to demand the repayment of their principal plus interest. In the end, however, the case for the repudiation of bank debt rests on the existence of a viable alternative financial system, some elements of which I have sketched in my essay "Money for Nothing."
The repudiation of government and individual debts should be a political imperative for White Nationalists. When White Republics emerge, we will of course repudiate the debts of predecessor states. But even within the present system debt repudiation should be stressed by White Nationalists, for it would prove a very popular political plank. Debt repudiation would also be useful to break White Nationalists away from the dead ends of Republican conservatism and "free market" economic orthodoxy.
Of course the primary aim of White Nationalism is to secure the existence of our people and a future for white children. But if that does not get people's attention, then promising to cancel their credit card, student loan, and home mortgage debts definitely will.

3 lessons in handling workplace harassment
Gallagher v. C.H. Robinson Worldwide (6th Cir. 5/22/09) [PDF] offers an excellent example of how businesses get themselves into trouble by failing to actively and effectively police workplace offensive conduct.
Julie Gallagher began working at C.H. Robinson Worldwide, a Cleveland trucking company, in September 2002. She held an office job at CHR, working with two dozen other employees in a relatively small office. She quit CHR after only four months. In the interim, she claims that she was subjected to repeated sex-based harassment and offensive conduct, including:
The prevalent use of foul language by mostly male coworkers who openly and loudly referred to female customers, truck drivers, coworkers and others as bitches, whores, sluts, dykes and cunts.
The frequent display of pornographic websites and magazines.
Co-workers who shared nude pictures of their girlfriends in different sexual poses.
Male co-workers who daily traded sexual jokes and engaged in graphic discussions about their sexual liaisons, fantasies, and preferences.
One co-worker angrily called her a "bitch" on several occasions.
Male co-workers called her fat, a "heifer" with "milking udders," and "moo"ed at her.
Gallagher admitted that she did not avail herself of CHR's formal harassment policy and complaint mechanism, but did sometimes complain to the branch manager, Greg Quast, to no avail.
The trial court granted CHR's summary judgment motion and dismissed Gallagher's case. The 6th Circuit, however, reversed and sent the case back for trial. Why? And what can employers learn from this case?
Offensive conduct can be "based on sex" whether or not it is directed at a woman. In this case, most of the complained of harassment was not directed at Gallagher, but was explicitly sexual and degrading of women in general. Such conduct is actionable whether or not the complaining employee is specifically targeted. The lesson: Employers should not ignore harassment complaints just because the complaining employee was only subjected to general workplace misconduct.
A jury could conclude that the harassment was severe and pervasive: "Considering the totality of the circumstances …, the conclusion is inescapable that a reasonable person could have found the Cleveland office—permeated with vulgar language, demeaning conversations and images, and palpable anti-female animus—objectively hostile." The lesson: Businesses are not fraternity houses, and employers that allow frat-like antics to permeate the workplace will often find themselves on the losing end of a harassment lawsuit.
The branch manager should have taken greater steps to correct or remedy the harassment: "It is true that Gallagher did not report all of her concerns to Quast and did not necessarily characterize all of her complaints as sexual harassment complaints. Still, when the conduct Gallagher did report to Quast is considered alongside the pervasive conduct Quast himself witnessed, it can hardly be denied that there is a genuine fact issue as to what Quast, and therefore C.H. Robinson, knew or should have known." The lesson: Once management knows or should know of inappropriate conduct (whether by a complaint or otherwise), it cannot borough its head in the sand, but must undertake a reasonable investigation and implement prompt remediation if warranted.

Transferred the Relics of the MonkMartyr Makarii, Archimandrite of Kanevsk
Commemorated on May 13, September 7
The MonkMartyr Makarii of Kanevsk lived in the XVII Century. This was a most terrible of times for Orthodox Christians in western Rus'. The vital effort, made by the monkmartyr, was an effort of defence of the Orthodox Faith under conditions of inequitably exhaustive struggle, when it was possible only to defend the future of the Russian Orthodox Church, which was preserved from the brusque passing of the hurricane of the Unia, endured together with Tatar incursions.
The holy MonkMartyr Makarii was born in 1605 in the city of Ovrucha in Volynia – into the illustrious Tokarevsky family, reknown adherents of Orthodoxy. In the years between 1614-1620 the saint studied at the Ovruchsk Dormition (Uspenie) monastery, and upon the death of his parents he became a monk at this monastery, having begun his service in the minor monastic rank of novice. In 1625 the Monk Makarii, with the blessing of the archimandrite, left the Uspensk monastery and was sent to the Pinsk bishop, – Avramii, who assigned him to the Pinsk Kupyatichsk monastery. In 1630 he was ordained to the dignity of monk-deacon, and in 1632 – to the dignity of priest-monk. Fame about the excellence of the monastic life of the priest-monk Makarii spread beyond the bounds of the Kupyatichsk monastery, and in 1637 the brethren of the Bretsk Simonovsk monastery turned with a request to the hegumen of the Kupyatichsk monastery – Ilarion (Denisevich), to send them Saint Makarii to be their head. But the Kupyatichsk hegumen also had need of the priest-monk Makarii. In 1637 the head of the Kupyatichsk monastery sent him to the Kiev metropolitan Peter Moghila to hand over money collected by the brethren for the rebuilding of the Kiev Sophia temple, and for the solicitation of help for the construction and repair of damaged monastery churches. Seeing in the priest-monk Makarii a talented son of God's Church, the metropolitan issued him an universal certificate for the collection of offerings, and in 1638 appointed him head of the Kamenetsk Resurrection (Voskresenie) monastery (in Grodnensk district). Until the pillaging and seizing of the monastery by the Uniates in 1642, the Monk Makarii guided the brethren of the Voskresensk monastery. In these harsh times the brethren of the Kupyatichsk monastery summoned as hegumen the Monk Makarii, who held the monastery until 1656. From 1656 through 1659 the Monk Makarii headed the Pinsk monastery, and from 1660 in the dignity of archimandrite the Monk Makarii guided the brethren of his original Ovruchsk Uspenie monastery. More than ten years passed in incessant struggle with the Latino-Polish in Ovrucha. But neither the tearing-away by the Dominicans of the farm-lands belonging to the monastery, nor the rapacious pillaging of moveable property, nor thrashing, – nothing was able to compel the brethren to quit the monastery. Only in the year 1671, after the devastation of Ovrucha by the Tatars, did the holy archimandrite Makarii leave the monastery, in which there remained not a single monk, and he set off for spiritual deeds to the Kievo-Pechersk Lavra. But the defenders of Orthodoxy, like the Monk Makarii, were needed not only at Kiev, but even moreso outside of Kiev. Metropolitan Joseph (Neliubovich-Tukal'sky) assigned Archimandrite Makarii as head of the Kanevsk monastery. Thus, after thirty years of struggle with the Uniates, the Monk Makarii was again on the front lines of giving battle for the Orthodox Faith.
In 1672 at the Kanevsk monastery the son of Bogdan Khmel'nitsky, – Yuri, sought shelter. The hetman Doroshenko, having petitioned Metropolitan Joseph for the assignment of the Monk Makarii, repeatedly visited Kanevsk monastery and in 1675 switched to Russian allegiance, having renounced allegiance to the Turks, evidently, not without counsel from the Monk Makarii. In response the Turkish powers dispatched an army to Little Russia. On 4 September 1678 the aggressors rushed on the monastery. Saint Makarii met the enemy with cross in hand at the entrance to the church. The Turks demanded from the monk to hand over to them the monastery treasury. Hearing the answer of the monk, that his treasure was in Heaven, the furious robbers hung the saint hand and foot between two posts. After two days they beheaded the monkmartyr (+ 7 September 1678). Witnesses to the martyr's death of Archimandrite Makarii carried his body to the monastery church, in which for safety they were hidden. But the returning Turks placed firewood around the church and burnt everything concealed in the temple. When the citizens of Kanev that survived began removing the bodies of those that perished, then only one body was found whole and as though alive – this was the body of the MonkMartyr Makarii, attired in hairshirt, with a cross on the breast and another cross in the hand. The holy body was buried in this temple beneathe the altar on 8 September 1678.
The holy MonkMartyr Makarii was a man of highly righteous and spiritual life, glorified while still alive by miracles and the gift of perspicacity. At Kanev he healed the blind and the dying.
In 1688, during renovation of the temple, the grave of the monkmartyr was opened and in it was found the undecayed body of the saint. In connection with the danger of invasion for the Kanevsk monastery, on 13 May 1688 the holy relics were solemnly transferred to the Pereyaslavl' regimental Resurrection church. There also they transferred the beloved book of the monkmartyr – "Discourse of John Chrysostom on the 14th Epistle of the holy Apostle Paul" (Kiev edition 1621-1623) with his signature on one of the page-leafs. Under Bishop Zakharii (Kornilovich) the relics were transferred in 1713 to a new-built temple of the Pereyaslavl' Mikhailovsk monastery, and after its closing the relics reposed from 4 August 1786 at the Pereyaslavl' Resurrection monastery.
In 1942 the relics were transferred to the Trinity church in the city of Cherkassa, and from 1965 they are situated in a temple in honour of the Nativity of the MostHoly Mother of God in that same city.
The commemoration of the MonkMartyr Makarii is made twice: 7 September – on the day of repose, and on 13 May – on the day of transfer of the holy relics.

As currently understood Onobrychis is a taxonomically complex genus of ca. 130 species (Mabberley 2008). Recent molecular data indicate that Onobrychis is monophyletic and composed of two main clades (Amirahmadi & al. 2016). About 23 species are native in Europe but most originate in West- and Central-Asia (some also in parts of Africa). Rather few species are slightly weedy and sometimes occur as weeds of arable land beyond their natural distribution range. One species is economically important, Onobrychis viciifolia. It was formerly more or less widely cultivated as a forage plant (sainfoin), more rarely also by beekeepers. In more recent times it is one of the typical species in wild flower seed mixtures.
Additional alien: Onobrychis caput-galli (L.) Lam. (Medit., SW-As., wool alien).

Wellfleet: For a personal touch
Cape Cod Home / Early Summer 2018 / Home, Garden & Design, People & Businesses, Recreation & Activities
Writer: Allyson Plessner
For the full Cape Cod experience, a rental property is the way to go
One of the great benefits of staying in a rental home is the opportunity to step into the shoes of a real Cape Cod family. At 110 Commercial Street in Wellfleet, Matt and Natalie Fabian have lovingly renovated their summer home and are excited to be able to offer eager vacationers a chance to live as locals during the off-season. "Big old houses like this are to be lived in," says Matt.
Matt and Natalie's home makeover started simply with a new dishwasher, and quickly turned into a full remodel. "We got in over our heads," says Natalie, laughing, but the results would suggest otherwise. The characteristically welcoming nature of village life in Wellfleet extends to this couples' home, and visitors can expect a serene vacation enhanced by light-filled rooms, an open floor plan, privacy and, above all, personality.
This Wellfleet home offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a loft, all vibrantly decorated in exciting colors and patterns, from bright pink painted flowers snaking up the walls to abstract blue waves, reminiscent of a roiling Atlantic ocean, splashed across the living room to multicolored carpets and vividly patterned pillows. Interested renters can find striking photos of the space through VACASA, a full-service, tech-enabled vacation rental and property management company providing vacationers with a stress-free way to discover their ideal temporary home. "VACASA does such a wonderful job of keeping the place clean and tidy and making sure everyone's happy," praises Matt.
The goal in renovating was to maintain as much of the original character of the home as possible, while opening it up and giving the entire space a fresh, airy feel. "We wanted living space and then a separate place to watch TV so that our kids wouldn't want to watch all day," jokes Natalie. "We didn't want to do too much to make it look too modern," adds Matt, explaining that it was important to them to preserve the historic character of the space.
One of the features of the home that most appropriately captures Matt and Natalie's carefree nature is the painted blue floors throughout. Matt explains that as a potter, his wife loves color, so it was important to them to incorporate that in the house. "We tried to preserve the history, but it's a summer house for us, so we wanted it to be kind of lighthearted," says Natalie. "We needed a sense of humor," adds Matt.
Renting their home has given this pair a sense of security, both in knowing that it's taken care of during the off-season and in doing their part to support the town of Wellfleet. "Wellfleet and a lot of Lower Cape towns struggle to keep a year-round economy, and we felt that to buy a house and only use it in the summer would make things worse. We wanted to try to keep the lights on," says Matt. Those who rent the home become a part of the Wellfleet community, whether they stay for a week or for months, and have the opportunity to appreciate the type of life that devoted Cape Cod lovers like Matt and Natalie have created for themselves.
110 Commercial Street sits just a short walk from the village and in close proximity to the local beaches. A large front porch offers visitors a place for a cup of coffee or glass of wine to relax and take in the charms of Wellfleet. "It's nice because you can walk to town or to the pier or Mayo Beach," says Natalie. "Even in the winter, it's one of the busiest areas," Matt adds.
So why not pretend to be a local for a bit? This home is ready and waiting to help you do just that. "Wellfleet is such a beautiful town that we hope that the house lets people enjoy that," says Matt. "It's not hard to live in the house, so if you're there for a vacation, you can really focus on your vacation and the people you're with instead of the challenges of renting."

Is This Quirky $6 PlayStation Title Still Worth A Look?
If there's one thing that video game critics have in common, it's that we like to complain. We'll whine about boring missions, repetitive random battles, and a lack of innovation, but when we're faced with a title that's seemingly indescribable, we drop our pens and panic. One of these titles is Um Jammer Lammy for the original PlayStation (also available on PSN).
For individuals who played the hit rhythm game, PaRappa the Rapper, you'd think it'd be easy to describe its quirky, rockin' spinoff, but in reality, Um Jammer Lammy's premise is so strange that it'd probably befuddle Albert Einstein.
It starts out normal enough with a girl named Lammy rushing to a rock concert after missing her alarm, but it soon spirals into an adventure that couldn't have been conjured by the world's greatest clowns (yes, not even Dubya). Before things get too crazy, however, you're treated to a fairly tame introductory stage with Master Onion who was made famous in PaRappa the Rapper.
After imitating Master Onion's favorite "kick, punch" routine, the wannabe rock star, Lammy ,eats forty bowls of chocolate frosted sugar bombs (at least that's my theory for the game's sudden crazy transformation). From that point on, Lammy eats a slice of pizza, gets dragged into a nursery by a caterpillar and bunnies who think she's pregnant, and she's even threatened by a chainsaw wielding redneck. Those are just a couple of the game's quirky scenarios, and things could have been even weirder if the U.S. version hadn't been censored.
Instead of entering Hell on a particular level, the U.S. version has Lammy rockin' out at a resort. I'm sure parents welcomed this change to this already crazy game, but for most of us, the reason we play a title like Um Jammer Lammy in the first place is because of its quirkiness, so it made little sense to remove any of this title's oddities.
So besides the game's unusual, well-animated cut-scenes, what else is there to Um Jammer Lammy? Well, players will find the same rhythm-based gameplay encountered in PaRappa the Rapper, only now, it's as difficult as silencing an obnoxious third grade classmate.
To complete levels, you still press buttons that appear on-screen (i.e. L1, square, circle, etc.), but they now come at you faster than a bullet train. As if this didn't make Um Jammer Lammy difficult enough, there are also timing-based flaws to deal with.
If you press a button when the game indicates that you're supposed to, your score will slip. I'm not sure if this is an issue due to emulation on the PS3, or if the original game was plagued by this problem, but missing notes when your timing is correct is quite annoying for gamers who've played the much more accurate Guitar Hero and Rock Band games.
Often times, you'll have to mess around with rhythm and timing yourself; otherwise, you'll have no hope of beating a level, since you fail after only four or five mistakes. Fortunately, Um Jammer Lammy is quite short, so it's possible to win by luck eventually, but it's a shame that something which should have been skillful is strictly an experience of chance.
After completing the game, there are other options available such as co-op modes, and you can play through the entire adventure again using PaRappa, but with such shoddy gameplay, most players won't want to come back.
Even though Um Jammer Lammy's songs aren't as catchy as those found in PaRappa, it still could have been a decent game if its timing issues were fixed; instead, it's a shoddy mess that's only held together by its quirky cut-scenes. For players who want something that is unusual to the power of ten, I recommend watching Um Jammer Lammy's cut-scenes on Youtube instead of downloading it on PSN. At least that way you won't have to wrestle with buggy gameplay.

Exmap is utility that allow user to get information about real executed program's memory consumption. To obtain this information a special module for Linux kernel is used. Information collected by kernel module may be obtained by user via user-space utilities.
For executable files, containing debug information, module can obtain information with symbol-level details, and for all other files(without debug information), information provided with section-level details.
For analysis of collected data there are several programs. In Exmap's distribution there is gexmap utility, that provide access to information via graphical user interface. Besides this, there is also exmap-console tool, that allow to get information with command-line utilities, and allow to get access to information on remote host.
After execution of these commands, user can start to use user-level utilities to get information about memory consumption.
Exmap's distribution contain also gexmap utility, that used for graphical representation of data, collected by kernel module. Example of work with gexmap you can see on screenshot below.
in second window you can see more detailed information about memory consumption in one of component of selected (in first window) program — memory allocation on heap, library loaded by program, etc.
So, user can get information about memory consumption for all program, or for selected components and objects.
Usage of graphical user interface not always convenient for developer. This was main reason for development of separate utility, called exmap-console, that implements command-line utility for retrieving information from kernel module, and also some programs for access this information on remote servers.
Installation of this package is pretty simple — you need to download source code from project's home page, unpack them and execute standard build sequence (./configure ; make ; make install) to build & install this program.
command-line utility, that accesses to kernel module and prints information in text form. This program can also be used in interactive mode. Besides this, exmap could be used to access to information on remote server, that executes the exmapserver tool.
provide remote access to information collected by kernel module.
is used to run exmap periodically and stores collected information in given directory.
Detailed information about work with these utilities you can find in manual pages, distributed together with source code.

A large German oil and gas producer is expanding its global asset base and activities. The company is looking for a standardized approach to asset management and risk mitigation.

The Federal Communications Commission has been implored to probe what Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders has called the "ridiculous" prices charged by Internet providers to consumers.
The FCC chairman, Tom Wheeler, said his agency lacks the kind of detailed price data that Sanders and three other Democratic senators asked for in a letter they sent to the FCC last week.
In the letter, Sanders — along with Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Ed Markey (Mass.) and Al Franken (Minn.) said low competition and hard-to-understand fees were driving up the cost of Internet access for Americans.
The letter comes as the FCC begins to consider a new merger between Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications, which the senators say would only exacerbate the problem. Recent increases in the price of Time Warner services indicates that the company is already insulated from normal market pressures, the senators say. They cited Time Warner's modem rental charges increasing by 203 percent since they were introduced in 2012.
The letter reads, "To cite just one example, Time Warner Cable began charging a cable modem rental fee in 2012 of $3.95 a month. TWC then raised the price to $5.99 a month in 2013. Today it charges $8 a month, a 203 percent increase in three years' time, in addition to monthly broadband charges.
To address the issue, they asked the FCC to investigate how much cable and Internet services go for in various markets around the country and requested the agency break down the numbers by speed tier, state, provider and urban and rural categories.
The FCC will have a hard time fulfilling the request of the senators. That's because the agency collects some data on cable pricing, but not at the level of detail the senators asked for. And it doesn't collect any information whatsoever on broadband pricing.
The FCC publishes semi-annual reports on the state of Internet access in the United States based on that information, going over things like how many Americans have which speeds down to the census tract and county level. You can find the latest reports here.
Telecom policy analysts say that what the FCC might do is simply send one of these prepared reports to Congress rather than supply the raw data, which would be difficult and expensive to pass along. This will still not adequately respond to the senators' request.
Not only are Internet prices ridiculous, but also ridiculous is the fact that the FCC cannot properly and fully respond to this very reasonable request made by the senators.
…It's part of your g0ddamned job to know these things, FCC.
You copied your third to last paragraph word for word from https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2015/07/17/these-senators-wanted-an-fcc-probe-of-internet-prices-theyre-going-to-be-disappointed/ and forgot to make "here" a link.
It's not just one paragraph, it's outright plagiarism.
I think speedtest.net has more accurate data than the FCC. They should be given dem boys a call yo.
A price increase of $3.95 per month to $8.00 per month is a 103% increase, NOT a 203% increase.

New Three Digit Suicide Prevention Line
by Laura Holland | May 5, 2022 | Firm News |
On July 16, 2022 a new nationwide National Suicide Prevention Line will go into effect. Similar to dialing 911, individuals will be able to dial 988 to instantly connect with the National Suicide Prevention Line.
Veterans who call 988 for the National Suicide Prevention Line will be transferred to VA's Veterans Crisis Line to speak with counselors who have military-specific experience and access to other veteran support resources.
The VA expects calls to the Veterans Crisis Line to increase by as much as 150% due to Veterans having the ability to dial 988. VA Secretary Denis McDonough has stated that the VA has been increasing staff and prepping for increased caseloads in anticipation of the nationwide roll out of the 988 dialing code.
VA officials are hopeful that the 988 number will be easier to remember and provide an even faster response for Veterans in need of mental health intervention.
If you have questions about VA disability benefits, including mental health disabilities, please contact the experienced Veterans' disability attorneys at Gardberg & Kemmerly, P.C. today for a free case evaluation. Gardberg & Kemmerly serves Veterans across the United States from their home office in Mobile, Alabama. Please feel free to call the office at 251-343-1111 or 1-800-332-1529 for a free consultation.

                    }
                }
            }
            //curl_close($ch);
        }
    }

And here is the error I'm getting in my browser when displaying $content,
the variable receiving the Unirest request answer :
object(Unirest\Response) {
    code => (int) 403
    raw_body => '{"message":"Invalid API"}'
    body => object(stdClass) {

}

I couldn't find a specific answer for this anywhere.
What does it mean ? Is there a way to solve this problem ?

A: Found why,
It's only because the site I wanted to get information from removed his API.
No need for more answers :)

The Yurauna Centre at the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) offers a place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to seek support and guidance. In late 2012 Caroline Hughes, Director at the Yurauna Centre, asked ICV to help with a tutoring program for its students. The program aimed to match volunteers with students who had indicated they would like some additional support with their studies.
One such student is Ben Moffatt, who is studying for a Diploma in IT and Website Design. Ben chose ICV volunteer Jono Crane to work alongside him. Their relationship has gone from strength to strength and Ben is achieving strong academic results. Most recently Ben topped his class with an impressive 96% on his term exam.
Ben's mother Lindy said that this is an amazing achievement for both Ben and Jono. The fact that Ben suffers with a 'mental illness' (schizophrenia) which saw him hospitalized for ten-and-a-half years is living proof that with encouragement and the right support in place , anything is achievable.
Jono's passion and expertise in IT has also led him to be chosen by Walgett Aboriginal Medical Service to help them improve and update their IT systems. Ben was able to accompany Jono to Walgett in country NSW and work with him on this project, which gave Ben the opportunity to implement the skills he had learnt in the classroom and gain some invaluable practical knowledge.
The growth in Ben's confidence and his overall wellbeing is very evident from his experiences in Walgett.
Jono and Ben will continue to work together, not only for CIT course requirements but also on the development of the IT systems with the Walgett community. It's a long lasting relationship which is building the capacity of everyone involved.

How can family foundations and community foundations work most effectively together?
Family Giving News Blog
NCFP's webinar, Community Leadership: Families and Community Foundations Working Together, included a lengthy Q and A session with panelists on a variety of topics. In this month's edition of "Ask the Center," we're pleased to share some of the highlights of their answers. For more information on this topic, read our feature blog post on the three community foundations highlighted on the webinar.
Are there good examples of family foundations working closely with the donor community, brought to the table via the community foundation, to strengthen philanthropic initiatives broadly?
Audrey Jacobs, Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta: Our Grants to Green Initiative is an excellent example. It was started and is sustained by support from the Kendeda Fund. Grants to Green provides environmentally focused knowledge and funding to strengthen nonprofits. Through this initiative, metro Atlanta nonprofits have the opportunity to renovate or build healthier work places that are energy and water efficient and environmentally efficient.
Keith Swayne, Keith and Judith Swayne Family Foundation and Shelley Hoss, Orange County Community Foundation: We can offer a few examples that we've been involved with in Orange County. For example, supporting the AVID program and AVID scholarships has been an important project to improve educational outcomes. While it isn't a formal initiative, it is in alignment with an important community need. Several of our donors support this project through their donor advised funds. We also introduced some local family and private foundations and several of them became supporters of the program as well.
One initiative we are active in promoting is providing program related investments (PRIs, loan funds) to nonprofits. We recently provided a line of credit to a local nonprofit to build a new shelter. The funds for the line of credit were contributed by private family foundations and OCCF donors.
A few other examples we can provide include:
We've worked with various local donors on a Veterans Initiative to support the needs of veterans in Orange County. Funding sources for this initiative have included private foundations, a local family foundation and CF donors.
Another initiative we have spearheaded is our Communities Advancing the Arts Initiative. Major funding for this initiative came from private and family foundations.
In addition, there have been several convenings of Orange County funders sponsored jointly by the Community Foundation and a private family foundation for the purpose of exposing the philanthropic community to issues and needs in the county.
How can we partner with the community foundations in our state to know community goals and make more effective grants in those areas?
Audrey Jacobs: Simply reach out to the community foundations within your state. We have several initiatives in which family foundations might connect with us—our Neighborhood Fund, AIDS Fund, Grants to Green, Strategic Restructuring, and Arts Fund.
Convened by The Community Foundation, the Atlanta Place-Based Funders is a learning and action group of funders committed to investing in specific communities in Atlanta. The intent is to capture and leverage the learnings and investments made to improve each of the communities and the city as a whole. Together, the group has explored issues related to public housing for residents, early childhood education, community-based healthcare and prisoner re-entry. Several partnerships have been formed, one of which resulted in a state grant to two funders to keep youth active during the summer.
Participants to date include The Community Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the CF Foundation, the Zeist Foundation, and the Enterprise Foundation.
What have been some of the topics/issues discussed during the Family Foundation Alliance's quarterly meetings at the Orange County Community Foundation? How do you decide on what programming to offer?
Keith Swayne and Shelley Hoss: Our FFA meetings have covered a variety of topics and have followed various program formats. A core group of members who were involved with the formation of the group helped determine the topics and formats for the first few meetings. Shortly after the group formed, members were surveyed and asked to share topics they were interested. We just recently formed a steering committee of group members to help guide future meeting topics and structure. However, we continue to ask members for their suggestions and many of them have provided some great insight!
A few past meeting topics include:
Your Philanthropic Vision & Focus: Richard Atlas, from The Atlas Family Foundation, shared his philanthropic journey with the group. He also shared some valuable tips and insight regarding how families can determine and achieve their philanthropic goals.
Storytelling: One of our first meetings and a very simple concept that involved going around the room so everyone could briefly share the story of their foundation. A great way to get to know each other!
The Joys & Challenges of Running a Nonprofit: This meeting featured a panel of three local nonprofit executive directors and offered a look at philanthropy through the eyes of a nonprofit. The panelists discussed a "typical" day in the life of an ED and FFA members asked various questions of the panelists.
Engaging Your Family in Philanthropy: This event featured a presentation by Valerie Jacobs of the Jacobs Family Foundation followed by smaller roundtable discussions.
Bridging the Generational Divide in Family Philanthropy: a presentation by Lisa Parker of the Lawrence Welk Family Foundation.
Continuing the Conversation on Generational Philanthropy: a group discussion moderated by Judy Belk of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors which examined several common questions that come up in family foundations related to family dynamics and involvement.
Can you clarify the relationship between the Mardag Foundation, Saint Paul Foundation, and Minnesota Philanthropy Partners?
Tim Ober, Mardag Foundation and Ann Mulholland, Minnesota Philanthropy Partners: The Saint Paul Foundation and the Minnesota Community Foundation have shared staffing and governance for many years.
Additionally, The Saint Paul Foundation and the Minnesota Community Foundation each have formal relationships with many funds and community foundations throughout the state, each with its own respective mission and focus, but not a separate legal entity from The Saint Paul Foundation or the Minnesota Community Foundation.
In an effort to better describe this multi-faceted coalition of foundations and philanthropic ventures, The Saint Paul Foundation and the Minnesota Community Foundation created the Minnesota Philanthropy Partners brand to better reflect the breadth and depth of the work being done by all these different organizations both independently and in concert with each other. Minnesota Philanthropy Partners is just a brand, it is not a legal entity. There are four anchor foundations affiliated with Minnesota Philanthropy Parnters, The Saint Paul Foundation (the state's largest community foundation), the Minnesota Community Foundation, the F. R. Bigelow Foundation (a private foundation) and the Mardag Foundation (a family foundation).
About forty years ago, the Mardag Foundation entered into a formal relationship with The Saint Paul Foundation. The Mardag Foundation is a stand-alone, private family foundation. Mardag has its own board of directors, unique grantmaking guidelines and focus and priority areas and its own separate 501(c)3 organization. Mardag has simply entered into an agreement with The Saint Paul Foundation to provide all operational support. Technically, the Mardag Foundation has no employees. The Saint Paul Foundation provides support to do the work of Mardag and bills Mardag for those services. The Saint Paul Foundation provides this service to Mardag and to other family/private foundations, most notably the F. R. Bigelow Foundation.
Is there a legal structure for Minnesota Philanthropy Partners or is that a brand of St. Paul Foundation?
Ann Mulholland: Minnesota Philanthropy Partners is a brand. It is our way to describe our network of more than 1700 foundations and funds that share resources and expertise. There are four anchor foundations that are part of our network, two of them are community foundations – The Saint Paul Foundation and Minnesota Community Foundation. And two are private/family foundations – The Mardag Foundation and the F. R. Bigelow Foundation.
If a family foundation connects itself with a community foundation are there greater opportunities or success in investing and growing assets, rather than just hiring money managers on its own?
Tim Ober: Yes and no. It really isn't about hiring money or investment managers; it's about finding better managers and properly diversifying the portfolio. Mardag for many years maintained our own investment committee and kept our assets separate from The Saint Paul Foundation and their Community Investment Group (CIG). Mardag did make use of the finance people within The Saint Paul Foundation to work with our Investment Committee, but hired our own investment managers. Due to the relationship with The Saint Paul Foundation, Mardag was able to tap into their knowledge and experience and also to make use of their leverage to get access to investment advice we wouldn't have seen on our own.
What is the best approach for community foundations seeking to support smaller family foundations that might be better served by a fund at a CF rather than their current situation?
Keith Swayne and Shelley Hoss: Community foundations should approach these conversations as a knowledgeable and trustworthy philanthropic resource, being respectful of the donor's needs and choices. Openly discuss and examine the various options available to the donor in a way that allows them to choose the option that is the best fit for them. This includes a discussion of how the CF can be used in tandem with their family foundation, instead of only presenting the "either/or" options. They may ultimately decide to utilize the CF only, but that should come from positive experience over time. Regardless of whether or not they choose to utilize the CF, this refreshing approach to philanthropy will gain you supporters in your community and only elevate the CF's position as a local leader in philanthropy.
In Orange County, members of the Family Foundation Alliance, which includes several smaller foundations, are learning about the services of the Community Foundation in an informal way. In some instances these smaller entities are entertaining the idea of a donor advised fund rather than their own foundation. This is occurring not by a "selling effort" on the part of the Community Foundation, but rather general learning that is taking place within the Family Foundation forum.

Have you ever wondered whether you're making the best decisions when you choose seafood? Nestled on the coast of California, there's a group dedicated to helping you find out. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is focused on creating a healthy ocean environment and wants to help you make the best dinner choice before you pick up the menu. To do so, the Aquarium, which has had about 50 million visitors since it opened, created an app called Seafood Watch.
Essentially, the program aims to show seafood lovers that their choices matter quite a bit since they constantly drive the market and can mean the difference between a species survival and extinction. When consumers use this app, they can also make a difference by supporting eco-friendly fishermen and aquaculture operations.
By empowering consumers, Seafood Watch hopes to change the way people think about the oceans and wildlife. While it can be difficult to always know exactly where your seafood originated from, it helps to ask the right questions. The program encourages people to ask the store or restaurant where the fish is from and how it's caught. If the business can't or won't give an answer, then move on to something a bit less fishy.
Not all fishing approaches are created equal and the app helps people learn just how their food traveled from the water to their plate. Most people probably imagine their fish are caught in the wild using traditional methods, but actually half of the seafood eaten in the United States comes from farms. The sustainability level of aquaculture, or fish farming, is determined by where the farm is, what fish they raise, and how they raise it. While there are dozens of different methods used to hunt or farm fish, it's important to chose from the best sources in order to help reduce potential negative effects on the ocean.
Apart from consumers, the program hopes to inform the entire seafood supply chain, which often includes chefs. The organization has even developed an education program to help restaurants and retailers make informed decisions about the seafood they offer to their customers.
So, how does the app actually work? The program has a wide range of strict standards to help determine the level of sustainability for each species. The guidelines are updated every winter and summer to keep up with the ever changing status of each type of seafood and food trends. The free app gives consumers endless up to date reports and seafood recommendations to search from. After each species is thoroughly reviewed, it is color coded to help consumers easily choose the best options.
Avoid anything flagged in red, as it has been determined to be overfished or irresponsibly harvested. Species tagged in yellow are a good alternative, but not perfect. Always try to choose something marked green, which signals that the fish was caught in a manner that created minimal impact on the ocean. Apart from individual species recommendations, the app also helps users find nearby stores and restaurants that offer sustainable seafood.
The Seafood Watch program not only hopes to encourage sustainable choices, but it is actively trying to solve problems with this tool. Essentially, the goal is to advocate for a better fishing industry where the global supply chain is transparent, struggling populations like the bluefin tuna are restored, and illegal or unregulated fishing is ended. The program works towards these goals by creating partnerships with the people on the front lines.
To learn more about sustainable seafood, download the Seafood Watch app on your iPhone or Android. If you have kids, you can also help them explore and learn about sustainable fish on the Seafood Watch website. Or better yet, take them on a trip to the Aquarium to get up close and personal with the wildlife. At the very least, try asking the restaurant or store about their sustainable seafood practices, and choose according to your ethics.

A pineapple [Ananas comosus (L) Merr.] field experiment was established in which planting densities and levels of foliarly applied N and K2O were evaluated. No significant treatment interactions were detected for fruit yield and quality and production of slips and crowns. Increasing plant population from 39,174 to 52,240 and to 67,925 plants/ha resulted in a significant fruit yield increase in the ratoon crop, but had no significant effect on the plant crop. Treatment combinations of N at 336, 560 and 784 kg/ha and K2O at 246, 470 and 694 kg/ha had no significant effect on fruit yield and quality or slip and crown production in the plant crop. A significant reduction in fruit yield was obtained in the ratoon crop at the higher N-K2O levels. The reduction in yield was attributed to salt accumulation on pineapple leaves as a result of foliar spraying, especially from urea. Nitrogen and K2O levels did not significantly affect the production of slips and crowns in the plant crop. The combination of 470 and 417 kg/ha of N and K2O, respectively, produced significantly larger slips and crowns in the ratoon crop. The concentration of N, P, Ca and Mg in the D-leaf was adequate for 4-month-old plants but N and K concentration was below adequate levels in 9-month-old plants, especially at the lower treatment application. In the ratoon crop all plant nutrients were low even at the higher application rates of N and K.

Telstra's vaunted in-house venture capital team plans to sharpen its focus on investment opportunities in Israel, according to chief executive David Thodey.
The applications and ventures group, founded by Mr Thodey in 2011, now has 16 investments. This year, it led a $12 million Series B funding round for Israeli mobile security company Zimperium.
Other backers of the raising included Japan's Toyo Corporation and existing investors Sierra Ventures, Lazarus Israel Opportunities Fund and Samsung.
At the time, Mark Sherman, managing director of Telstra Ventures, said the investment represented "an opportunity for Telstra to acquire a stake in an emerging company with a unique solution to the problem of advanced cybersecurity attacks on mobile devices".
Telstra is a customer of Zimperium and the funding is being used to scale Zimperium's operations and support its rapidly growing customer base.
"Obviously one of the big growth areas is network and cybersecurity. We work with Checkpoint already, which is a big Israeli company, and source a lot of software from Israel," Mr Thodey said.
He said the ventures group, which has offices in Australia and Silicon Valley, was looking at other investments in Israel.

JACK MOZIE
SIN PODER HACER UN RUIDO
Out October 9th 2020
Sin Poder Hacer Un Ruido (which translates into "Unable to Make a Noise") tells the shared story of struggle faced by latinx queer people upon coming out. "This record shares some of my darkest, and most traumatic experiences, in hopes that others can relate and make peace with their own darkness," Jack Mozie says of his newest EP. "This record helped me heal from my past."
Mozie produced and recorded this album during the COVID-19 pandemic entirely from his home studio. "I found myself in isolation after Rock For Pride ended. Music has always been a way for me to connect with people, so I began writing," said Mozie. Despite being unable to collaborate with other artists on this release, Mozie hopes his songs will help others relate to his situation and enjoy the camaraderie in shared challenges. "Coming out is different for everyone, but we all deal with the hardship of being accepted. I hope this music makes other journeys less lonely, and reminds people that loving and accepting yourself is worth it. "


Having just returned from the Bellapais, I found the food excellent, OK so not a lot of Turkish food but they do cater for mainly British tourists and it was nice to have al-carte breakfast and dinner without queing at a buffet! I was impresssed by the friendly and extremely smart and attention to detail staff. May is a good time to visit as the hotel is quieter and you can easily get a sunbed. Its not a hotel for the elderley, infirm and disabled as there are a lot of steps as said before and the stairs to the mezzanine bedrooms could be a problem if you've had too much to drink! I was amazed at my end of holiday bill - you sign for all drinks and lunches and my bill came to just £55, and believe me I signed a lot of receipts!!
If you go to Nicosia, don't bother crossing the border into the South - the Turksish side is much better with a local market and shops. We crossed over into the South and were back in 15 minutes! No character at all and its a pain queing to get your passport visa stamped in the heat.
Make sure you take your own tea bags, they have that awful Liptons tea in the hotel and none in your room although they provide a kettle!
Ensure you take a few Euros, as if you fly into Larnaca they don't accept Turkish Lira and if you pay in stirling they only take notes, not coins. Paid £8 for a coke and a sandwich.

Members passes for both the Dragon and the Rabbitohs (Premium and Plus) will also be accepted on the day thanks to reciprocal rights, with the same agreement in place for the round 12 clash at ANZ Stadium.
In another win for fans, 2500 tickets to sit in the new SCG Members (Noble) stand are also available.
