Q: Render table columns that will fill full width. Imagine window 1000px width.
Four text columns 100px width.
I want to make columns grow to 250px to fill full width.
I am using AutoSizer and MultiGrid.

A: The Column docs should have enough info for you to accomplish this. Basically you want something like this:
<Table width={1000} {...props}>
  <Column
    label='Name'
    dataKey='name'
    flexGrow={1}
    width={100}
  />
  {/* other columns ... */}
</Table>

A: Rather than using plugins, position your items with flexbox. You can learn it here:

UNITY OF FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS AND METAPHYSICS
PHYSICS AND PHILOSOPHICAL ONTOLOGY: FORMS OF INTERNAL UNITY
Zharov S.N.
It is shown that physics and philosophical ontology in the bases are involved in the same general being. However these sources are unevident for the physics, they are covered by construction of theoretical schemes. Ways of ontological interpretation of physics and the problems connected with them are analyzed.
Metaphysics. 2021;(3):9-23
THE INEVITABILITY OF THE UNITY OF FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS AND METAPHYSICS AT THE TRANSITIONAL STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICS
The article shows that at the present time in physics the conditions are ripe for a decisive revision of the prevailing ideas about physical reality. To solve this problem, metaphysical principles must be considered. Their manifestations in modern physics are shown in the presence of three paradigms. It has been demonstrated that this is most fully implemented within the framework of the relational paradigm, which has long been in the shadows. The results already obtained within its framework are shown and it is noted that the development of this direction most closely corresponds to materialist philosophy.
Metaphysics. 2021;(3):24-35
PHYSICS NEEDS PHILOSOPHY. PHILOSOPHY NEEDS PHYSICS
Rovelli C., Rybakova I.A.
Contrary to claims about the irrelevance of philosophy for science, I argue that philosophy has had, and still has, far more influence on physics than is commonly assumed. I maintain that the current anti-philosophical ideology has had damaging effects on the fertility of science. I also suggest that recent important empirical results, such as the detection of the Higgs particle and gravitational waves, and the failure to detect supersymmetry where many expected to find it, question the validity of certain philosophical assumptions common among theoretical physicists, inviting us to engage in a clearer philosophical reflection on scientific method.
METAPHYSICS AND THEORETICAL PHYSICS
TWO TRADITIONS OF THE ACTUAL INFINITY INTERPRETATION
Katasonov V.N.
The article considers two traditions in the interpretation of the actual infinity. One is associated with the name of Nicholas of Cusa, the other with the name of Rene Descartes. It is shown how Nicholas of Cusa within the framework of his idea of the coincidentia oppositorum overcomes the traditional Aristotelian norms of philosophizing, while Descartes puts the finitist ideology at the foundation of both his theology and the theory of knowledge.
ONTOLOGY OF LOOPED QUANTUM GRAVITY. HINGES
Erekaev V.D.
Some ontological aspects of the theory of loop quantum gravity are considered. First of all, its possible nature of one of the fundamental objects of theory - the quantum loop - is discussed. In particular, the possible material, geometric and instrumentalist interpretations of this object are briefly considered.
THE RELATIONAL APPROACH TO THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF MEANING OF INFORMATION
Krugly A.L.
A mathematical model of the meaning of the signal is proposed. The meaning is not the signal itself, but its effect on the recipient. Under the action of the signal, the state of the receiver changes, which is the meaning of the signal. The most general mathematical model is the description of the recipient's state with the help of some mathematical object, and the meaning is modeled by the action of some operator on this object. Various concrete formalisms are considered: abstract automata, matrix representation, algorithms, Markov chains, parameter spaces. The article deals with finite, countable and continuous meanings, reversible and irreversible meanings, ambiguous meanings, decomposition into elementary meanings.
METAPHYSICS AND INTERDISCIPLINARY MODELS
Balakshin O.B.
Metaphysical numerical methods of self-organization of natural systems of Nature, their interdisciplinary connections and models are investigated. They are confirmed by a number of examples and facts, predict informational beginnings and the sequence of formation of material systems of Nature. The facts relate to the chemical elements of the Universe, plants and living systems in health and disease. Their structural periods of self-organization coincide or have common roots. Systems have a "end-to-end" similarity of everything with everything on the basis of the principle of self-similarity and unlimited two-way connection of structural parameters. It is shown that the Abelian Group, the basis of self-organization of systems, allows you to systematize models based on the unity of their origins. The concept of natural self-organization of systems predicts the chemical elements of the Universe and the existence (or appearance) of other civilizations in the world under similar external conditions.

PLACE OF PHILOSOPHY IN WORLD CULTURE
COGNITION AND NATURAL PHILOSOPHY IN THE 21ST CENTURY
Yefremov A.P.
With an emphasis on the trends related to the development of the Earth's civilization in recent decades, the demographic rise and total digitalization, the existing and promising approaches to the formation of the processes of cognition of natural-scientific and social laws are discussed.
Metaphysics. 2021;(3):118-127
ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE UNDERSTANDING OF METAPHYSICS IN THE HISTORY OF CULTURE
Knyazev V.N.
The article examines the evolution of the concept of "metaphysics" in the history of culture. Metaphysics as the "first philosophy" of Aristotle has gone through a historically variable path as a consequence of the pluralistic nature of the very nature of philosophical knowledge. Solidarizing in the main thing - metaphysics is an understanding of the fundamental, fundamental principles of being - each independently thinking philosopher takes as a basis as principles different understandings of substances and its attributes. Questions of the relationship between the concepts of "metaphysics" and "ontology" in various historical and philosophical discourses are discussed. Based on this, metaphysical concepts in specific philosophical teachings and doctrines are quite variable in the history of culture, up to the positivist desire to expel metaphysics from science. The modern understanding of metaphysics in collaboration with the philosophy of science makes it possible to reveal the dialectical connection between metaphysics and science and, in particular, metaphysics and fundamental physics.
THE CONCEPT OF METAHISTORY IN THE WORKS OF L.V. SHAPOSHNIKOVA
Sokolova B.Y.
The article analyzes the conceptual approach of the modern philosopher and historian L.V. Shaposhnikova to the phenomenon of metahistory, interpreted as a spiritual and creative part of the historical process, as a result of the creation of cosmic evolution. Features of metahistory, its origins are shown; the importance of synthesis of historical and metahistorical processes is noted. The main ideas of the messenger ship conceptas an integral part of the metahistory concept are identified and considered; some examples of metahistorical activity of messengers of cosmic evolution are considered, the emphasis is placed on its heroic character, its prophetic character, and its influence on the future of the people among whom this activity takes place.
SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION IN THE COORDINATES OF PHILOSOPHY
Iakovlev V.A.
The inseparable connection and creative interaction between science and philosophy in the course of their historical development is substantiated. Seven binary-additional metaphysical programs of Antiquity, which defined the main areas of scientific and educational activity in the future, stand out.

Tiers: may be specified as single-tier (full height), two-tier, three-tier, etc., meaning that the lockers are stacked on top of each other in layers two high, three high, etc. Tiers are commonly up to eight high; on occasion, even more tiers may be found, in the case of very small lockers for such purposes as storing laptop computers. The most common numbers of tiers found in lockers are, in order, one, two, and four; three-tier lockers are rather less common, and other numbers such as five, six, or eight even less common still - seven almost non-existent. Since locker cabinets are most commonly 6 feet (182.9 cm.) high (although there are exceptions), the height of individual lockers varies according to how many tiers are accommodated within the cabinet. The height of individual lockers is usually approximately 6 feet (182.9 cm.) divided by the number of tiers, so that two-tier lockers are about 3 feet (91.4 cm.) high, three-tier lockers 2 feet (61 cm.) high, four-tier lockers 1.5 feet (45.7 cm.) high, and so on. Standard features often vary according to the number of tiers: single-tier lockers usually include a shelf about a foot (roughly 30 cm.) from the top, and a hanging rail (sometimes with one or two hooks) immediately underneath that, at the top of the large compartment beneath the shelf; two- or three-tier lockers usually lack the shelf, but include the hanging rail; lockers with four or more tiers usually have none of these fittings, but consist of just the bare compartment.
With the same standard features as the Traditional line, the Traditional Plus Collection is intended for more rugged applications. Available in single-, double- or triple-tier configurations, this collection features 14 gauge doors with 16 gauge full-height reinforcement channels, frame-secured 11 gauge frame hooks with protruding padlock hasps, and a maintenance-free, single-point latching system.

Unics Kazan claimed its first victory of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague season by blowing past Dinamo Banco di Sardegna Sassari 85-62 at home on Thursday. The hosts dominated the second half to the tune of 50-25, doing the majority of the damage in a 16-2 third-quarter run before closing the game out with 19 unanswered points in the fourth while holding the visitors scoreless for over eight minutes. D'Or Fischer led a balanced Unics attack that featured six scorers in double figures with 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting and 9 rebounds. Nikos Zisis added 13 points, Kostas Kaimakoglou amassed 11 points and 8 assists, James White also scored 11 and Curtis Jerrells and Keith Langford netted 10 apiece. Rakim Sanders led Sassari with 18 points, Edgar Sosa tallied 13 points and 5 assists and David Logan finished with 10 points, 4 assists and 3 steals. Sassari dropped to 0-3 with the loss.
Both teams went inside early as Jeff Brooks scored the first points for the visitors and Kaimakoglou for the home team. Sanders, inside and from the line, kept Sassari rolling, though Unics tied each time. Fischer free throws pushed the hosts in front 8-6. Jerrells penetrated to make it 10-6 midway through the quarter. Steals by Shane Lawal and Logan resulted in a pair of baskets for the latter to even the score once more. Kaimakoglou twice found Fischer inside as Unics went ahead 16-12. Jermone Dyson got on the scoreboard with a deep three only to see Vadim Panin match him at the other end for a 21-17 Unics advantage through 10 minutes.
Petr Gubanov flipped to Viktor Sanikidze for a slam. Sergey Bykov scored in transition to make it an 8-point game as Sassari was held without points for the first three minutes of the quarter. Sanders ended the visitors' drought with a score in the paint, but Bykov responded immediately with a layup. Dyson fed Shane Lawal for a pretty alley-oop slam to make it 27-21. Brooks then halved the Sassari deficit from downtown. Langford finally got on the scoreboard with a pair of free throws. Sosa connected from behind the arc, but Kaimakoglou battled inside to make it 33-27. For the second time, a Brooks triple brought Sassari within 3. After Jerrells sank free throws, Sosa closed the gap to 35-33 with a three. After Zisis missed a shot and was whistled for a technical foul, Logan trimmed the deficit with the free throw and Sanders nailed a three to give the hosts a 35-37 advantage at the break.
Langford tied the score with the first points of the second half, but Sanders heated up and scored on consecutive possessions to put Sassari back in front, 41-43. After Fischer tied it, Dyson sank a triple, however Langford and Jerrells each scored to put Unics up 47-46. A Kaimakoglou three and Jerrells drive gave the hosts a 6-point cushion. Sosa scored for Sassari, but Langford hit a tough fade-away jumper before Kaimakoglou gave Unics its first double-digit advantage, 59-48, at the end of what was a 16-2 charge. Sosa drained a three after a timeout, but Fischer posterized Manuel Vanuzzo and White netted a triple. Sanders matched him at the other end. Sanikidze's second-chance layup at the buzzer made it 66-54.
Logan gave the visitors hope with the first 5 points of the quarter. Zisis pushed Unics's lead back to 9 from the line. Zisis added a tough layup for a 71-59 advantage. Sanikidze's steal drew an unsportsmanlike foul on Dyson. Zisis scored a layup and made a triple that extended the difference to 20. Sassari failed to score for over eight minutes as Unics reeled off 19 unanswered points to turn the game into a rout and wrap up the victory.
"It was a very important game for us in the Euroleague. The key for our win was our defense in the second half, especially because our shooting was not very good. In the second half we played well defensively. Kaimakoglou played a very important role here, especially taking out the big guys. Sassari is a team which plays aggressive defense to make a lot of steals during the game. We managed not to make turnovers, we coped with the first line of the opponents' defense. Sassari is a team which plays with a lot of pick-and-rolls with good shooting guards in their roster. Their big players are very athletic, after diving and after pick-and-roll on the floor they go to the fast breaks. It was about tactics not to play Sokolov this evening. "
"We played 15 minutes in the second quarter and the first minutes of the third quarter, and our energy was completely out. They played more physical than we did. We missed a couple of easy shots, and they were going in the rhythm. The Kazan defense in the second half got better and better, while we made some bad mistakes in offense. "
"The most difficult thing was in the second quarter when our main small forward James White had 2 fouls and had to sit on the bench. They read that and they put the ball in the low post and created some problems. From the low post they gave the ball from in to out and they scored some three-pointers. They kept scoring three-pointers that's why at halftime we were down [2 points]. But in the second half we came out and played with energy, we played smart, we played very good defense; the opponent scored only 25 points. And that led us to an easy victory. "


The new XR Speed driver from Callaway takes everything the brand knows about driver aerodynamics and face technology and combines it in their best performing longest and most forgiving XR driver line ever.
It's a driver designed to fill a price gap in Callaway's line-up for 2018. Coming in at £339, it offers the brand's loyal fans a cheaper alternative to the premium, Jailbreak-powered Rogue.
Although Callaway is happy to admit that the Rogue will offer you maximum performance, don't expect to feel short changed by the XR Speed just because of the smaller price tag.
The technology packed into this driver helps to deliver both incredible clubhead and ball speed.
The X Face VFT means that you retain this speed even on some major mis-hits, leading to a tighter dispersion and more fairways hit during the round. During my testing it was coming up a little shy of the Rogue's ball speed numbers, but it was still up there with the fastest drivers on the market today.
This great speed is also partly down to the refined Speed Step on the driver. Callaway's R&D team has enhanced the aerodynamics of the its Speed Step Technology on the crown of the head, reducing air resistance and optimising clubhead speed.
It is the inclusion of a Triaxial Carbon crown, however, that helps to set the performance of the XR Speed apart from its XR predecessors. The proprietary composite crown on XR Speed is 45% lighter vs the XR 16 titanium crown. The weight savings results in a lower CG for a higher launch and lower spin, the perfect recipe for increased distance and forgiveness.

MORE - Callaway unveils shoe footwear range - which pair do you like most?
When compared to the standard Rogue, I was seeing a slightly higher flight and higher spin numbers. The XR Speed also offers slight draw bias, so you can expect to see a right to left trajectory.
Down behind the ball this club looks fantastic and is bound to fill you with confidence when standing on the tee. It has a more rounded shape than Rogue, but still leaves a large footprint down behind the ball and the Triaxial Carbon crown only helps to add to the appeal.
If price is no obstacle, then the Rogue is the Callaway driver for you. If it is, however, then you have to check out the XR Speed for yourself. It delivers incredible all round performance for a driver in this lower price bracket.

the toughest song i wrote Feb. 8, 2016
The Toughest Song I Wrote: Jazmine Sullivan on What Happens When a Kendrick Feature Falls Through
By Jazmine Sullivan as told to Dee Lockett
Ahead of the 2016 Grammys, Vulture spoke with a handful of artists whose albums are nominated this year about the toughest songs they wrote for them. Up first is Jazmine Sullivan, Philadelphia's sweetheart with a voice that's decade's beyond her years, who shocked the R&B world when she prematurely announced her retirement in 2011. Hiatus over, she reemerged with 2015's acclaimed Reality Show, now nominated for Best R&B Album. Here, she talks to us about how she nearly walked away from album standout "Brand New" after Kendrick Lamar couldn't contribute the verse she had her heart set on.
When I heard "Brand New," it had this hip-hop vibe to it, and I was excited because I knew I wanted Kendrick Lamar on the song. I thought he'd do it because I think the track sounds like something he would like. So I started writing the song, and I wanted him to do the second verse. I wrote the first verse, loved it and the hook, and I was like, All this song needs is Kendrick Lamar on that second verse. We did the song and we sent it to him a few times, but he just couldn't do it because of scheduling. I had got it in my head so much that it would be him on that second verse that there was just no other way. I didn't even want the song on the album if he wasn't on it.
The song started out in Philly, in the studio with just me and my engineer. I was really feeling the beat [by DJ Dahi], which surprised my A&R. He didn't think I'd pick that beat, and on another album, I probably couldn't have. I don't like when you have to force a song, and the melody and the lyrics don't just come to you. With this particular song, the first verse just kind of flowed out. I had been watching a lot of reality TV — Love & Hip Hop is like my favorite show — so when I heard this song, it made me think of hip-hop and just rappers in general. So I thought I could incorporate that vibe, but from a woman's perspective. It reminds me of my older work, in a way, because I talk about love and heartbreak, I'm just doing it in a more contemporary way. It seems like it'd be a scene from a reality show: the man blowing up [in his rap career] and wanting to leave his woman that he's been with forever. It felt like a story I hadn't heard yet on a song, but it happens a lot.
[When Kendrick's verse fell through,] I went back to the studio to work on it, and I got it pretty much to the second verse that's on the album now, but I just didn't like it. It needed Kendrick. I kept saying, "It's not right, I don't even want it on the album." But my mom actually convinced me — because she loves the song — she was like, "You have to put this on there. It's great. You can try to get Kendrick for the remix, but don't not put the song on the album." That was so hard. I wrote that second verse maybe 50 times over a month trying to get it right. But I know people love this song, so hopefully we can get him on a remix.
"Forever Don't Last" was tough, too, but tougher on an emotional level. That song was really a page from my life, and I was actually going through a breakup. But, as a writer, "Brand New" was so hard because I had to figure out how to be happy with what I wrote [after going back to the drawing board]. Some songs just work. The way I sing on "Brand New" really isn't my natural flow, but it just came out that way. I love when a song just works itself out and you don't even have to try. I didn't even think, Let me do a rap flow. The flow just came out as soon as I heard the track. If I have to think too hard about what I'm writing about or how the melody should be, I usually just move on. Even with this song, I was going crazy trying to tweak little things on the second verse. I overdid it.
I still want to keep growing as a songwriter for as long as I can. This isn't it for me. It doesn't feel like I've arrived just yet.

Q: Vaadin upgrade from 14 to 23, where to put @CssImport I used the Vaadin 14 business starter app which appears to have been discontinued in Vaadin 23. This app put custom CSS under the MainLayout:
@CssImport(value = "./styles/components/charts.css", themeFor = "vaadin-chart", include = "vaadin-chart-default-theme")
@CssImport(value = "./styles/components/floating-action-button.css", themeFor = "vaadin-button")
@CssImport(value = "./styles/components/grid.css", themeFor = "vaadin-grid")
@CssImport("./styles/lumo/border-radius.css")
@CssImport("./styles/lumo/icon-size.css")
@CssImport("./styles/lumo/margin.css")
@CssImport("./styles/lumo/padding.css")
@CssImport("./styles/lumo/shadow.css")
@CssImport("./styles/lumo/spacing.css")
@CssImport("./styles/lumo/typography.css")
@CssImport("./styles/misc/box-shadow-borders.css")
@CssImport(value = "./styles/styles.css", include = "lumo-badge")
@JsModule("@vaadin/vaadin-lumo-styles/badge")

Does this stay here or does it move to AppConfig along with the @PWA and other annotations.
I ask because the CSS styling is broken on the menu and doesn't seem to change wither it is on MainLayout or AppConfig.
Any ideas? Is this a styling incompatibility between 14 and 23, or have the requirements on where to place the @CssImport changed?
Has anyone else successfully ported the discontinued business starter app from 14 to 23?
Some help from the Vaadin folk would be appreciated as this business starter app was a explicitly marketed benefit to getting a Pro subscription and now appears to have been dropped.

A: The currently recommended way is to use the custom theme folder (for example, frontend/themes/mytheme), and place your style sheets there. Then use the @Theme("mytheme") annotation to choose that theme.
The ./styles/styles.css file should likely be the main theme style sheet (frontend/themes/mytheme/styles.css). All other @CssImports without a themeFor attribute can be on the same folder, and imported in the main style sheet with the standard CSS @import.
But, since Vaadin 23 now has the Lumo utility classes built-in, you might not need those additional style sheets (for example, margin.css). Though, the CSS class names they define might not be 1:1 with the newer utility classes.
Any @CssImports with the themeFor attribute should be placed in the "special" components folder, where each file name corresponds to a component tag name (for example, frontend/themes/my-theme/components/vaadin-chart.css).

A: There's a migration manual for @CssImport at https://vaadin.com/docs/latest/upgrading/recommended-changes in chapter "Refactor Styles to a Custom Theme Folder".
But there are two things to consider (despite it is named "Recommended Changes")...:

*

*The "Style Loading Order" may be different than before, have a look at the list in https://vaadin.com/docs/latest/ds/customization/custom-theme/#style-loading-order

*Migrating your CSS to Vaadin 23 is not just exchanging an annotation. You have to do a lot more, have a look at https://vaadin.com/docs/latest/upgrading/essential-steps/#update-your-css

*Wrongly sized icons: have a look here: Vaadin migration 14 to 23: icons have different size (viewbox wrong?)

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal Sunday rallied behind TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, seeking another term for him in Andhra Pradesh while also flaying the Modi government for allegedly destroying democratic institutions.
At an election rally here, which she described as the launch of her Lok Sabha poll campaign, Banerjee urged the BJP's sister organisations not to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party chief Amit Shah during the national polls.
She claimed the BJP won't get a single seat in West Bengal and the party won't cross the 125-mark in the 543-member Lok Sabha.
"The BJP has sister organisations. I would like to request them that if you love the country, please don't support Narendra Modi and Amit Shah," the West Bengal chief minister said.
"This is a special election. There are not many people to fight for the country, please vote for Chandrababu Naidu. Modi and Shah bully everyone," she alleged.
"In UP, he got 73 seats when the Samajwadi Party and the BSP fought alone. Now they have come together. In Odisha too, they won't get any seat," she claimed.
She said Modi is a "chowkidar" for the corrupt. A chowkidar who "lies to people round the clock and steals from them", she said.
Banerjee said the country needs a prime minister who doesn't differentiate between Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh.
"Modi said demonetisation would curb terrorism, but it is maximum under his government," she said.
Supporting Kejriwal's demand for full statehood for Delhi, Banerjee said the issue needs to be resolved.
Kerjwal claimed that Modi and Shah divided India on religious lines in five years, something which Pakistan could not do in seven decades.
The Delhi CM also alleged that an emergency-like situation was prevailing in the country.
Later in a tweet in Hindi, Kejriwal said, Naidu and Banerjee have announced they will ensure full statehood for Delhi.


This month we took a break and headed north to Mae Salong, the Kuomintang town near the Burmese border. Famous for the oolong tea grown there, the town is really a village stretched out along the ridge of a small mountain, and is known for its resemblance to Yunnanese villages in China. The tea plantations fill the steep slopes below the town and the hills around them are peppered with tribal villages, no doubt providing much of the labor for tea-picking. It's quite a bit cooler up here, with the mountains blanketed in mist in the mornings. The main street is lined with teashops and the oolong flows, so keeping warm is no problem.
We stayed at Mae Salong Villa which has grown into a sprawling, hillside-hugging collection of concrete structures - no longer the quaint bungalows described in Lonely Planet. But the room was comfortable and had the added charm of a nice covered veranda with a view of the tea plantations.
In this area the KMT history goes back to 1961, when a group from this anti-Communist army was forced to leave Burma, to which they'd fled after the 1949 Communist victory in China. They crossed into northwestern Thailand and were granted refugee status later in the 1960's, as the Thai government needed a buffer army against any possible Communist incursions into Thailand. Between 1970 and '74 they fought their bloodiest operation against the Communists and lost close to 1000 soldiers. For this the Thai government bestowed citizenship on many of the soldiers and their families. A large Martyr's Temple which gives a very detailed history of the campaign has been erected on the edge of town. More famous probably is their partnership with drug lord Khun Sa and the Shan United Army in the Golden Triangle opium trade.
... which brings us to our next stop: the Hall of Opium down the road from the famed Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Burma, and Laos meet.
Our drive home took us thru Chiang Saen, a very old town on the west bank of the Nam Mae Khong/Mekhong River and site of the 14thc. Chiang Saen Kingdom. Phaya Mang Rai, the founder of Chiang Mai is supposed to have been born around here and inherited the rule of the area from his father in 1259. This he expanded to include the towns in the Kok River Basin (around Chiang Rai), giving the kingdom the name 'Yonok'. (In 1296 he founded Chiang Mai further south.) His nephew Phaya Saen Phu established Chiang Saen as a principality and then moved the capital of Lan Na from Chiang Mai to Chiang Saen. Many ruins abound throughout the small town and there is an interesting branch of the National Museum with some fine cast Buddhas, and a hall of hilltribe artifacts including some weaving tools.

White House blasts Democrats' 'disgraceful and abusive' probe
March 05 2019 12:15:04
"Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler opened up a disgraceful and abusive investigation into tired, false allegations already investigated by the special counsel and committees in both chambers of Congress," spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said in a statement.
"Chairman Nadler and his fellow Democrats have embarked on this fishing expedition because they are terrified that their two-year false narrative of 'Russia collusion' is crumbling."
The House Judiciary Committee is launching a sweeping new probe of President Donald Trump, his White House, his campaign and his businesses, sending document requests to 81 people linked to the president and his associates.
Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said on March 4 the investigation will be focused on possible obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power.
The list of 81 names touches on all parts of Trump's life- his businesses, his campaign, the committee that oversaw the transition from campaign to the White House and the White House. There are also people connected to Russian interference in the 2016 campaign.
The list includes two of the president's children, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and many of his current and former close advisers, including Steve Bannon. It also includes his embattled charitable foundation, which he is shutting down after agreeing to a court-supervised process, and officials at the FBI and Justice Department.

As takeover battle heats up, Elon Musk subpoenas former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey

Elon Musk has subpoenaed his friend and former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey as part of his legal effort to get out of his acquisition of the social media platform.
Elon Musk has subpoenaed his friend Jack Dorsey, Twitter's former CEO, as part of his legal effort to abandon his bid to acquire the social media company.
Twitter is suing Musk in Delaware Chancery Court to make him follow through on an agreement to buy Twitter for $44 billion. Both parties have filed dozens of subpoena requests, asking banks, investment firms, executives and high-profile Silicon Valley figures for information and communications about the deal.
According to legal filings made public Monday, Musk's attorneys are seeking documents and communications from Dorsey regarding how Twitter detects, labels and counts fake accounts, and how it uses daily active users as a key metric in its financial disclosures.
Musk argues that Twitter wasn't forthcoming about the number of bots and spam among daily active users on its platform. He claims the social media company tried to "mislead investors" by providing false numbers in financial filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Twitter says its SEC filings are accurate and Musk's team has "spent months trying to invent a spam disclosure problem," but found nothing. The company also claims Musk's efforts to finance the deal ran out of steam, which contradicts the legal arguments coming from the world's richest man.
Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been friends with Dorsey for years. Both are enamored with crypto currencies.
Dorsey, who stepped down as Twitter's CEO in November 2021, supported the buyout and Musk's move to take the company private.
He tweeted that he "Elon is the singular solution I trust" for Twitter.
In principle, I don't believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.

Twitter's legal team has sought out information about Musk's communications with several Silicon Valley bold names, in an attempt to understand how his thinking about the deal changed.
Twitter is seeking documents and messages from entrepreneurs and venture capitalists Marc Andreessen, Joe Lonsdale, David Sacks, and Steve Jurvetson. Some of them have been involved in financing Musk's purchase.
Meanwhile, Musk's lawyers have filed dozens of subpoena requests asking for information about fake accounts on Twitter.
The judge granted Musk's requests to subpoena communications from Kayvon Beykpour, former head of consumer product, and Bruce Falck, former head of revenue product, who were both dismissed by CEO Parag Agrawal in May.
The case is scheduled for a 5-day trial on October 17.

Manhunt underway for intruder who slashed woman in her Oak Bay home
Jeff Lawrence Senior Digital Producer, CTV Vancouver Island
@CTVNewsJeff Contact
Published Tuesday, April 25, 2017 10:18AM PDT Last Updated Tuesday, April 25, 2017 6:25PM PDT
An Oak Bay woman is in surgery after an intruder broke into her waterfront home and violently attacked her with what was initially described as a machete, according to police.
The attack took place just before 7:30 a.m. in the 2500-block of Esplanade near Willows Beach Tuesday.
Police say officers responded within minutes of a 911 call from the house and found the 45-year-old victim with "significant" injuries to her upper body, while the suspect had fled the scene.
Officers provided first aid and paramedics rushed the victim to hospital, where she went into surgery to have her wounds treated.

"What we know at this time is that a man, unknown to the resident, entered her home. At some point he was confronted by the resident and a struggle ensued," said Oak Bay police spokesman Sgt. Rob Smith.
Smith said the woman was attacked with an edged weapon, which was initially reported to be a machete. The weapon has not yet been found.
After an extensive search of the area the attacker remains at large, but police say they don't believe the public is at risk.
"We have no indication that the community's in danger at all, but the man is still out there and he showed violent tendencies this morning," said Smith. "We don't know where he is, but again, the motive of this attack is unknown…We have no idea whether this was targeted or completely random."
He said investigators had yet to speak with the woman as she underwent surgery at a local hospital.
Police say the woman was alone in the house at the time and believe she called 911 herself to alert police to the intruder.
They're now looking for a man in his 20s described as heavier set, who was reportedly wearing a brown jacket, dark pants and a baseball cap. He was also wearing a light blue and white handkerchief wrapped around his neck.
Officials say it's an unusually violent attack to take place in the relatively quiet suburb of Oak Bay.
"Obviously in Oak Bay or even Greater Victoria this is completely uncommon," said Smith. "I've been here for 20 years and never encountered anything close to this."
Saanich police have taken the lead on the investigation, and police tape and cruisers remained at the scene throughout the day Tuesday.
The attack also placed kids and staff at two Oak Bay schools under a precautionary hold and secure order for hours as the search for the man was underway.
Glenlyon Norfolk School and Willows Elementary were given the order before 8:30 a.m., and it was eventually lifted around 10:30 after it was determined the schools were not in danger.
Because the attack happened along a usually busy stretch of beach, police are hoping witnesses in the area who noticed anything unusual will come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to call Saanich police at 250-475-4321 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Faraday Future's Financial Woes Continue, More Layoffs Expected This Week
The company hopes "to solve the funding issue in two to three months."
By Talon HomerDecember 5, 2018
After running short on funds in late October, electric vehicle startup Faraday Future has announced a series of setbacks and employee layoffs. Faraday has laid the blame of its financial trouble on Chinese investment firm Evergrande Group, who it claims has not been keeping up with its promised payments. A month of relative silence from the company has now been followed with an update published to Faraday's Twitter page, stating that the manufacturer is not out of the woods financially, but is still committed to developing its FF 91 electric SUV.
"FF's recent financial crisis was brought about by investor Evergrande Health refusing to make its scheduled payments. The investor has further breached its contractual obligations to FF and refused to release its liens over FF's assets as it was required to do," the statement reads. "This has resulted in making it more difficult for FF to achieve short-term financing through asset-backed loans resulting in the current temporary cash flow difficulties. This action has unequivocally harmed FF employees worldwide, our suppliers, our partners, and all of our reservation holders."
It goes on to say that Faraday is currently applying for government financial relief, which may take two to three months. In the meantime, the company will have to put "additional employees on furlough beginning this week." Faraday also mentions that it still has hundreds of U.S. employees moving toward FF 91 production, many of them working on minimum wage or a $50,000 capped salary. To soften the blow of losing so much of its funding, the startup is trying to pull in interest from new investors.
Faraday Future has been very careful with its words, claiming that the financial worries are only temporary. These statements are at odds with comments from former executive and company co-founder Nick Sampson, who called Faraday "insolvent" and said that it "at best will limp along for the foreseeable future." The manufacturer was planning for production to begin on its first vehicle by the end of 2018, but these recent events have made the FF 91's fate uncertain.

massages in paradise. No big deal.
April, 2014 - So we may have recapped our recent St. Barths trip in the form of filling you in our new bestie, broken down how to get in a seriously sweat-inducing work-out despite being on vacation (and yes, our idea of vacation typically involves being half-asleep on a beach somewhere, cocktail in hand too). We also gave you the lowdown on how to cook some seriously mean tilapia tacos. All that, and we still somehow have yet to actually wax poetic on the breath-taking, ripped-straight-from-a-brochure-like beauty of St. Barths.
As if the whole inescapable, decidedly French thing that permeates life on the island weren't enough, it's the journey that only adds to the general sense of elusiveness of the island. No, actually, we mean the actual flight you have to take to get there. Did we not mention that the St. Barths airport has been dubbed the third most dangerous in the world? Because that's totally a thing. Lucky for us, we were flown in from San Juan by Tradewind Aviation- on a teeny-tiny eight-person plane, no less.
Upon landing, we were greeted at the (again, impossibly glamorous and impossibly French) airport in St. Barths by our hosts from WIMCO Villas, who rent private villas and apartments everywhere from St. Barths to St. Tropez, Florence and Cabo. We were picked up by our WIMCO concierge, Moe (hi, Moe!) and Cecilia, where Moe helped us retrieve our rental car and took us to our villa, only to be greeted by our very own personal concierge- yes, you're reading that correctly. Here we are, debating between rent payments and half-price Saint Laurent, but we had our very own concierge at our beck and call when needed. Totally normal.
Staying at the next-level elegant Villa WV JEP (each villa on the island has it's own little code...cute, right?), a stunning six bedroom villa practically hanging over the ocean, we instantly began to make ourselves feel at home A.K.A. checking out the fridge. Anticipating a very empty albeit very fancy fridge, you can imagine our surprise when we were instead greeted by a very full (still fancy) one instead. So who can we call our culinary fairy godmothers? The WIMCO team had actually pre-arranged to have our kitchen stocked with groceries and prepared meals from a local grocer, Mayas To Go. Oh, and side note on the whole French colony thing? All of the groceries - yes, even fruits and vegetables - are imported from France. Karl would totally approve. Even better- Virtually every grocery store has an array of the most painstakingly delicious bread and cheese, like, ever- so much so that we could actually shed a tear thinking about it. That good. Oh, and there are more fine wine stores than there are groceries. Honey, we're home!
Oh, but the part that really kind of cemented the fact that we need to find a way to make the island our permanent residence, language barriers and immigration issues be damned, was the part where WIMCO arranged for massage therapists from a local spa, Ligne St. Barth, to come and help us out. We even had our massages on the villa's deck, overlooking the ocean and needless to say, we could really get used to that sort of thing on the regular. The spa is also behind the beauty products (the usual shampoo, conditioner, and body lotions) provided to guests during their stay, and we swear that it actually had us shelving the Kerastase we lugged across the border for the week. That, and the photoshoot we had at Villa WV WIK, designed by Olivier Dain Perspectives. Did we mention there was a personal chef, too?
...Is it bad that we're looking up prices for flights back right now?

News Analysis: Looking for Cover
Tue, 05/15/2007 - 11:20pm — Steven Norton
The recent fuss in the Legislature with budget agreements that weren't and battling press releases has made it fairly clear that the Republican majority in the Senate is looking for cover on increasing taxes, but Democratic lawmakers are reluctant to give it to them.
The Senate majority's initial negotiating position was that adjustments to the current budget, discussions of next year's budget, and a replacement to the Single Business Tax, were all to be kept separate. They said explicitly that they wanted to solve the current-year deficit with cuts, but might consider new revenues for next year. Gov. Granholm and Democratic leaders were equally insistent that resolving this year's deficit and funding next year's budget needed to be handled together. The Democratic line that revenue increases were an essential part of the equation gained force after state economists predicted that the state budget deficit (the general fund and school aid fund) would be significantly larger than originally predicted in January. As State Budget Director Bob Emerson put it, "You can't fix school aid without revenues."
The first indications of trouble came when Senate Republican leaders had to recall a member of their caucus from National Guard maneuvers in Arizona to make sure they had a two-vote margin to pass their original "negative supplemental" for school aid (SB 221), which at that time included a $34 per pupil cut to schools and other cuts to intermediate school districts. (See our earlier coverage.)
More recently, some Senators have changed tack in their communications with constituents. Where early on they insisted that they would never support increased taxes, more recent messages on school aid issues are less clear. In particular, members of the Republican caucus were underlining the fact that they had passed a plan to deal with the "known deficit" (the January figures) without taxes (but with cuts, accounting changes, and a "modest" cut to schools).
This focus on the "known deficit" is also becoming clear in the recent moves by Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop, who announced yesterday that he, House Speaker Andy Dillon, and Gov. Granholm had reached an agreement on closing the budget deficit. The Governor and Speaker Dillon were quick to say that there was no such agreement, and pointed out that the measures Sen. Bishop was referring to only addressed the January deficit numbers.
Today, Sen. Bishop scheduled a meeting of the House-Senate conference committee working on SB 220, the supplemental bill on the general fund for this year, apparently expecting all sides to report out a measure which would address the deficit from January's figures, again without new taxes. The fact that Democratic leaders balked at approving such a measure, just days before the revenue estimating conference was expected to announce much larger deficit figures, prompted a flurry of anger from Sen. Bishop. "I'm absolutely beyond words on how to express with my disappointment with this newest wrinkle in the process where we put a solution on the table and at the last second, there was a complete reneging of the agreement," he said this evening. "This is the worst example of runaway government I have ever seen and I'm embarrassed by it."
The Governor and Rep. Dillon responded in a joint statement: "We are not willing to sign on to a three-day solution that puts us back to square-one on Friday. We encourage Senator Bishop to meet with us in the morning, as scheduled, and to continue meeting until a resolution is reached."
One interpretation of these events would suggest that Sen. Bishop's anger was genuine - not because he expected his proposals to be the final word on the deficit, but because he and his caucus wanted to claim a minor victory by closing the deficit, albeit using January numbers, without taxes. They might feel this would give them more leeway with their presumably anti-tax base to vote for taxes once the deficit grew beyond what was achievable with cuts. In this interpretation, announcing agreements at this point, before this Friday's revenue conference, was crucial to making this whole strategy work.
According to some press reports, the conference committee agreement fell apart after Sen. Bishop refused to pledge to support increased taxes for fiscal 2008. At the same time, House Appropriations Chair George Cushingberry (D-Detroit) told reporters that House Democrats were being asked by Senate Republicans to put forward a proposal to increase the sales tax from 6% to 7%; he argued that there was little point to this step now, since it would require ratification by the public in a referendum (which would delay the measure substantially). Rep. Cushingberry himself has proposed increasing, or in his words "restoring," the income tax rate to 4.6% from the current 3.9% - returning to the rate in place before proposal A passed in 1994. He estimates that such a change, if effective June 1st, would raise nearly $1.2 billion and take the pressure off decisions for the fiscal 2008 budget.
Clearly new revenues, taxes, are on the table. What remains to be seen is what concessions are required to move tax measures through the Senate. One press report suggests that Senate Democrats are offering to link revenue measures to changes in how state and school employee health care coverage is provided. A key feature of any such changes would be linking state benefits to private sector benefits, with employees being asked to pay more of the costs of health care, and perhaps changing the available options. This plays into long-standing efforts by Republican lawmakers to undermine MESSA, the non-profit affiliate of the state teacher's union which currently provides health care coverage to about half of all public school employees. But recent proposals to create new regional and state-wide employee risk pools has attracted support from other public-sector unions, which are worried about the rapidly increasing cost of health care being passed on to their members.


USAID/Central Asia Tajikistan Country Director Katherine Crawford, Deputy Speaker of the Majlisi Namoyandagon (Tajikistan's lower chamber of parliament) Khayriniso Yusufi, and First Deputy Minister of Health and Social Protection of Population Saida Umarzoda on December 21 gathered government officials, donor representatives, and other key stakeholders at a ceremony to celebrate and close the three-year project, Tajikistan Technical Support to Reduce Micronutrient Deficiencies. This project has been funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN).
The U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe says that since it began in 2015, the project has led efforts to reduce micronutrient deficiencies and improve health and nutrition. Tajikistan has very high rates of micronutrient deficiencies, which result in poor general health and can cause birth defects. However, large-scale food fortification – adding important vitamins and minerals to staple foods like wheat flour and salt – is a proven, cost-effective way to address this problem.
Over the last three years, the project has supported local partners in establishing a national program to fortify wheat flour with essential vitamins and minerals, and Tajikistan has accomplished a number of milestones including: building appropriate national systems to coordinate food fortification activities; drafting wheat flour fortification legislation; conducting assessments and studies to create a knowledge base for food fortification; providing training and laboratory equipment for regulatory agencies; and establishing the first national online birth defects registry to track the impact of food fortification on the health of the population. Together these activities have established essential building blocks to improve the health and nutrition of the population. Additionally, the project demonstrated that there is a nine-dollar return on investment for every dollar invested in fortification, along with significant social and economic benefits for Tajikistan.
The project reportedly enabled nearly 20 flour milling companies to fortify wheat flour, trained 50 officers of regulatory agencies to monitor quality assurance and compliance, and trained approximately 150 medical statisticians to report appropriately in the national registry on birth defects. The project also worked with business and education sectors, and media.
The Tajikistan Technical Support Project to Reduce Micronutrient Deficiencies is one of the many assistance projects made possible by the American people through USAID and the collaboration of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of Population. Over the last 25 years, the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe has provided more than $1.8 billion in programs that support Tajikistan's security, democratic institutions, social sector, and economic growth.

Summer games for children consist of more than just throwing water balloons and shooting water guns. Some of them actually take a little strategy, which is great for older kids who feel they're just a bit too old to be playing the same games they played when they were five years old.
Here are some games that involve water or can be played outside when it's hot and the kids don't feel like skateboarding or riding bikes. Feel free to join in, too, as they're ideal for any age.
Outdoor activities for children that are pool-oriented have a tendency to bore them if carried on for too long. That's why any pool game that involves everyone doing something all at once and for short periods of time are often a welcome reprieve from games that involve tossing a ball back and forth aimlessly.
Whirlpool: For this game, you can include as many people as will comfortably fit around the edge of the pool. It also works best if the pool is circular, rather than rectangular. Have everyone line up around the edge, and then run around the edge in a circle in the same direction. Get a strong whirlpool built up, and then tell the group to switch directions immediately. They will struggle against the current – hilariously – until they finally get the current going in the opposite direction.
Underwater Fetch: There are many types of sinkable objects you can have kids fetch while underwater. Water torpedoes, pool balls, diving sticks and so forth can all be used for underwater collections. Make it a game by having kids compete for the sticks under a time limit. You might even award prizes for the child who collects the most objects within the shortest amount of time.
Summer suggestions for children also include games for a summer picnic, reunion or party. Not surprisingly, people of all ages will probably want to join in, so these games will help give you ideas for older kids, more than younger kids who get bored quickly with games.
Water Jump Rope: In this game, one person, the jumper, holds a cup full of water. One person stands on each side of him or her with one end of the jump rope in their hands. As the two people swing the rope, the jumper needs to hold the cup of water as level as possible to prevent sloshing it out of the cup. As players take turns, make sure they save their cup of water at the end. The person who sloshes the least water after the same amount of jumps is declared the winner.
Giant Marbles: This is a game that even little kids can play, if they so choose. Grab a bunch of soft balls, like basketballs, footballs, soccer balls and bouncy balls, and jumble them in a group on the grass. Surround the group of balls with a large rope or a combination of jump ropes connected to each other in a ring. Next, select one bigger ball to be used as the shooter. Kids can kick the shooter ball from 5 to 10 feet away from the group of balls and aim it at the balls in the ring. You want to kick as many balls out of the ring as possible while still keeping the shooter ball inside the ring. It's harder than it sounds!
Before you start playing any of these summer games for children, bear in mind that summertime games can get exhausting faster than spring or fall games. This is mostly due to the fact that it's hot and in many cases quite humid outside. Too much exertion can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke if players aren't careful.
To curtail this possibility, keep water and lemonade around for everyone to drink in between games. Wait several minutes before playing any games, especially pool games, if the kids have just eaten. Try to provide a shady or air conditioned area for players to cool down in, in the event that someone gets too hot and starts getting exhausted.
Also, never force children to play if they don't want to. Not only are party poopers no fun for the rest of the team, they simply might not feel comfortable playing water sports, especially in the pool. Make sure kids know about the water games before showing up to the party so they can have a swimsuit or change of clothes with them for the drive home.

Flusspferd is a simple static site generator based RingoJS. It takes markdown files, processes them and uses
reinhardt templates to generate the final HTML.

## Getting started

You can generate a project stub by running flusspferd's
main script with the init parameter:

`ringo main.js init /path/to/emtpy-project/`

A good way to automatically update the output during development is `fswatch`, a cross-platform file change monitor. If you update one of your sources in the `content`, `templates`, or `static` dir, it will notify you about the changes. Here an example:

`fswatch -o /code/example.com/content/ /code/example.com/templates/ /code/example.com/static/ | xargs -n1 -I{} ringo main.js /code/example.com/`

## Convention over configuration

The easiest way to run flusspferd is to generate a project with the folders `content`, `output`, `static` and `templates`.
The `output` folder itself should be empty, the others contain the project's files.

    project
    ├── content
    │   └── index.md
    ├── output
    │   ├── index.html (generated)
    │   └── static (copied)
    │       └── image.png (copied)
    ├── static
    │   └── image.png
    └── templates
        └── base.html

Start the generator with `ringo main.js /path/to/project`.
Flusspferd will scan the `content` folder for markdown files and puts the result into the output folder.
All static files from the `static` folder will be copied to `output`.
You must provide a template named `base.html` in the `template` folder.
This template ist the master for all generated pages and will be rendered providing two properties: `content` and `title`.
If your markdown file starts with an <h1>, this will be the title for the page, otherwise its emtpy.

Home Israel Foreign Affairs Interview with Prime Minister Ehud Barak on ABC News- This Week-15-Oct-2000
Interview with Prime Minister Ehud Barak on ABC News- This Week-15-Oct-2000
Interview with Prime Minister Ehud Barak on ABC News: This Week
SAM DONALDSON: Seventeen months ago, Ehud Barak became prime minister of Israel, and some would say it's been downhill for him ever since. His coalition is shattered, his forward looking proposals at Camp David went nowhere, and now he must deal with resumed violence. We sat down with him to talk about all this earlier today. Prime Minister, thanks very much for sitting down with us. Well, what do you expect to come out of this summit tomorrow?
PM BARAK: I hope it will end up with end of violence, certain mechanism — maybe American, Israeli, Palestinians — is to make sure that it will not repeat itself. And we as Israelis expect that the terrorists of Hamas and Islamic Jihad that have just been released by Arafat be put back behind bars, to put an end to the shooting of policemen and Tanzim — the street organization people — not shooting at Israelis or Israeli soldiers, and put an end to incitement and proper dealing or treating of holy cites like the Joseph's Tomb or the Shalom Israel synagogue [in Jericho].
DONALDSON: Well, in recent days you've said Arafat has caused this, Arafat perpetuates the violence, Arafat is no longer a possible partner for peace. How can you sit down with him?
PM BARAK: We are sitting down first of all to put an end to the violence. This is a proper objective, and I repeat it also today. Arafat deliberately launched it in order to attract the attention of the world by paying with the blood of his own people. He's mourning them as a human being, but he believes that it serves his cause. We are defending ourselves. And the real risk is that by launching this kind of attack, he sends a wave of destabilization all around the region with the unpredictable consequences, and we think that it's about time to put an end to it.
DONALDSON: Prime Minister, many people were shocked by the brutal murders of Israeli soldiers in Ramallah and elsewhere. But disproportionately about a hundred Palestinians have been killed, and I think the world is shocked by that also. How do you think this is playing in world opinion, a hundred vs. just a few?
PM BARAK: He launched it. He initiated it. All these positions, Israeli positions, are isolated position outside of the city. We are not in Gaza anymore, we are not in Jericho anymore, we are not in Ramallah, and we are not in Nablus. So they — Arafat — are deliberately sending demonstration with a policeman and Tanzim people with rifles on one hand, and they are shooting, as well as 10-years-old kids. This is a crime.
DONALDSON: Prime Minister, of course they say you started it. Saeb Erekat says he and Arafat were in your home two nights before Ariel Sharon visited the Temple Mount and that they pleaded with you not to allow that visit. You went ahead. Why did you go ahead and allow Sharon to go?
PM BARAK: They were at my private residence, we hosted them. The
rest of it is not true. They didn't mention it, and they didn't ask for anything.
DONALDSON: They didn't ask you not to let General Sharon go?
PM BARAK: No, they didn't. And beyond that, our Minister of Public Security, who is also the Minister of Foreign affairs, Professor Shlomo Ben-Ami, he talked with the high ranking Palestinian official dealing with security in Jerusalem, the Palestinian aspect of security. He told him Sharon is going to visit. It's part of the legal right. It's part of freedom of access to holy cites by everyone. But he asked him, 'What are your needs?' And the Palestinians told him, 'We have only one demand, that he will not enter the mosques.' Sharon accepted it under protest, but once he accepted it, there is no way, we are open society, it is in the middle of our capital, and we cannot forbid it.
DONALDSON: Saeb Erekat told us that if General Sharon becomes part of your government, it will be the kiss of death for the peace process.
PM BARAK: They have a kind of tendency to turn everything on its head. When the Palestinian invited the leadership of Hamas 10 days ago to a cabinet meeting of Arafat in Gaza, it was a blessing for the peace process. When they release the terrorists who are responsible directly for the murders attacks against civilians, innocent civilians, it's a blessing. It's kind of a new momentum to the peace process. And when an Israeli politician that had been elected, like some of your politicians, by about one third of the people of Israel, is visiting a place after all arrangements had been made with Palestinian security, this is a kiss of death? It's ridiculous.
We are a democracy. Maybe unlike some of our neighbors, we are democracy. There is a will of the people. They elect our parliament and out of the parliament by very simple arithmetics we establish governments. We cannot hang in the air with our government waiting for a change of mindset in Arafat's head.
DONALDSON: But isn't it clear, Prime Minister, you're bringing in General Sharon because you have too, not because you want to? Your government would fall if you didn't bring him in.
PM BARAK: I'm not sure whether it will fall if I won't bring him in, but it's clear that the emergency that Chairman Arafat created, the relationship between us and the Palestinians with certain implications for the stability of this whole region calls for an emergency government in Israel. I'm not sure whether it will be established but I will do my best to establish in Israel the best government to deal with the challenges created by Mr. Arafat. And I am not ready to apologize for applying the rules of democracy in this country.
DONALDSON: General Sharon and the Likud say that the Camp David proposal that you presented, must be cancelled, not just off the table temporarily, but cancelled, period. Do you agree?
PM BARAK: What happened in Camp David was that we were ready to contemplate far-reaching ideas that were raised by President Clinton in an attempt to put end to this conflict, to make peace, and at the same time to prove whether we have a partner. I did it without making any extra concessions. By doing this, I made it possible, if don't have a peace agreement, for our people at least to be united by the sense of no choice.
We will never lose hope of making peace with our Palestinian neighbors. They are here forever, and we have to make peace with the same people who are demonstrating right now against us. But if the leadership is not right now, leadership can change, leadership can change its mind, open its eyes, or being replaced. We will make peace with the Palestinian people, but until then we'll stand firm on our right to live here as a free sovereign open democratic society and we will not yield to violence. And we expect the rest of the world to stand by us in this kind of endeavor.
DONALDSON: But, sir, it sounds to me like you're saying your proposals are shelved in your mind until the time is right. I'm asking you whether they're going to be cancelled. General Sharon insists they be cancelled. He thinks you were making concessions.
PM BARAK: General Sharon insists somehow on taking the blame upon us for closing the opening for peace, and for obvious reasons, I am not ready to do it. Technically, there are no such commitments. We didn't put them on paper. We agreed in advance that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, and President Clinton as well as myself have said at the end of Camp David that all the ideas — they are not even concessions or commitments — all the ideas that were arrived at are null and void. So formally they are null and void. Practically, no one forgets them, but they are not on the table since Arafat refused to take them as basis for negotiations. So the responsibility is now with Arafat, and I do not accept the suggestion of General Sharon that we will take the responsibility.
DONALDSON: But you may raise those proposals again?
PM BARAK: I cannot predict what shape the peace process will take in the future. It is no secret that the imprint of the last few weeks will leave some scars on the collective psyche of Israelis, as well as Palestinians. It won't be easy to resume it, but I'm confident that somehow, ultimately, it will be resumed. But we will never yield to violence, and we will stand firm and united to the extent possible defending the essence of our rights.

Suspect in Christmas Eve shooting killed in deputy-involved shooting near Hermann Park
HOUSTON – A Harris County Sheriff's Office deputy shot and killed the man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend on Christmas Eve at Hermann Park, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were tracking down multiple leads regarding the whereabouts of the suspect, Albert Benjamin Simon, when they found him sitting on a bench near the teahouse garden, officials said.
When the deputies went to apprehend the suspect, Simon began to yell, "shoot me, shoot me" while reaching for something in a bag, officials said.

The 52-year-old man then ran from the deputies. One deputy opened fire and shot the suspect at least twice, officials said.
The deputy-involved shooting was reported 3:15 p.m. Saturday at 6202 Hermann Park Drive. Simon was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead at 3:38 p.m., officials said.
A semi-automatic pistol was found in Simon's backpack, according to officials. The Jeep he was initially driving after the shooting on Christmas Eve was found in Dallas. Officials believe Simon switched cars in Dallas and returned to Houston in a different car.
The Houston Police Department is in charge of investigating the deputy-involved shooting.
No one else was injured in the shooting. Police ask the public to avoid this area.

Christmas Eve shooting
According to officials, Simon forced his way into a home on Obsidian Drive where his estranged ex-girlfriend, Carolee Dawn Taylor, was celebrating her birthday on Dec. 24. Deputies said Simon pulled the 46-year-old woman from the home at gunpoint before shooting her multiple times on the front porch.
Simon fled the scene leading to a four-day search.
"He came up with pretty much weapon drawn and scared everybody, everybody started to scatter. He was very focused on what he was coming here for and she didn't have a chance," Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
A longtime friend of Taylor, Bridget Moore said she'd never met Simon and had limited information about him.
"I know that (Taylor) tried to break up with him several times and that she broke up with him for good last week," she said.
While she didn't know how Taylor and Simon met, Moore said they dated for a few months.
Taylor leaves behind a daughter. The family has set up a crowdfunding account to help support Taylor's daughter's education.
Here is the full press conference following the deputy-involved shooting:

Yes, and Yes! Willie Watson's Folksinger, Vol. 2 On The Way
Ever since former Old Crow Medicine Show member Willie Watson released his debut solo record 'Folksinger, Vol. 1,' we've been waiting impatiently for Vol.2, if there would even be one. With only himself and a guitar, Willie Watson was able to accomplish what entire bands struggle to do their entire careers.

Saving Country Music's Best Live Performances of 2013
The greatest album, and the greatest recorded song will never be able to trump the truly live musical experience where music is shared in real time with both the artist and listeners. It is in this spirit that each year I assemble a list of the Best Live Performances to reinforce that as technology and the busying of life incrementally encroach upon us, we must remember that the live music show deserves its own attention and reverence.
.357 String Band, 2013, American Aquarium, Andrew Bird, Austin City Limits, Best Live Performances, Bob Wayne, Dirty River Boys, Eric Church, Gruene Hall, Hellbound Glory, James Hunnicutt, Jared McGovern, Jason Eady, Jason Isbell, Jayke Orvis, LeAnn Rimes, Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires, Lincoln Durham, Liz Sloan, Patsy Cline, Pickathon, Punch Brothers, Red 11, The Crooks, The Mavericks, The White Horse, Tift Merritt, Turnpike Troubadours, Valerie June, XSXSW
Jayke Orvis & The Broken Band's "Bless This Mess"
If you're looking for an act that is still virtually unknown, one that is buried deep in the underground and that embodies the raw energy of the roots movement and not just a commercially-viable watered-down derivative, one whose active ingredient still works on even the most hardened of roots addicts, then Jayke Orvis and The Broken Band might be your drug.

Album Review – My Graveyard Jaw "Coming Winds"
File My Graveyard Jaw and their album Coming Winds under "Pleasant Surprises of 2012." Sort of like a poor man's Punch Brothers, this acoustical string band that features guitar, banjo, violin (not fiddle), cello, and upright bass catches you completely off guard with their progressive approach, excellent songs, and ear for composition.

Review – Punch Brothers "Who's Feeling Young Now?"
If your looking for that one bluegrass ensemble that is defining our generation's take on the discipline, it's hard to argue against the Punch Brothers. Though Punch Brothers talk usually trends toward the talent of mandolin maestro Chris Thile, the troupe boasts overarching, rabidly accomplished skill across the front line, and a far superior instrumental adeptness that is undeniable.

Rachel and Lisa, the creators of Littlebugs Lice Products
We are two moms that are both registered nurses, whose daughters acquired lice through a school outbreak. We, like many families who have had to deal with this unwelcome guest, tried the toxic shampoos, things that we "heard" would work like mayonnaise in the hair. We spent hours combing and nit picking in our daughters' hair. We were frustrated with our options, with the hours spent trying to eliminate the lice, and with the lack of correct information we found from various sources. Therefore, in the parking lot of our girls' school, we decided to create a business that would help families, schools, camps, and nursing homes eliminate lice in a safe, natural, process that is proven to be highly effective. Our goal is to educate, to treat and to make the experience as pleasant as it can be.
Littlebugs' mission is to provide families safe and highly effective all natural pesticide-free head lice control that contains the highest quality ingredients in every product.
Head lice can be treated effectively without chemicals! We know how to help people through the process. Our phone line is open 24/7 to help parents through this process. We can be reached at 855.804.8887.
