Is the U.S. Government Evil? You Tell Me
"The greatest evil is not now done … in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern." ― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
Is the U.S. government evil? You tell me.
This is a government that treats its citizens like faceless statistics and economic units to be bought, sold, bartered, traded, tracked, tortured, and eventually eliminated once they've outgrown their usefulness. This is a government that treats human beings like lab rats to be caged, branded, experimented upon, and then discarded and left to suffer from the after-effects. This is a government that repeatedly lies, cheats, steals, spies, kills, maims, enslaves, breaks the laws, overreaches its authority, and abuses its power at almost every turn. This is a government that wages wars for profit, jails its own people for profit, and then turns a blind eye and a deaf ear while its henchmen rape and kill and pillage.
No, this is not a government that can be trusted to do what is right or moral or humane or honorable but instead seems to gravitate towards corruption, malevolence, misconduct, greed, cruelty, brutality and injustice. This is not a government you should trust with your life, your loved ones, your livelihood or your freedoms.
This is the face of evil, disguised as a democracy, sold to the people as an institution that has their best interests at heart. Don't fall for the lie. The government has never had our best interests at heart.
Endless wars. The government didn't have our best interests at heart when it propelled us into endless oil-fueled wars and military occupations in the Middle East that wreaked havoc on our economy, stretched thin our military resources and subjected us to horrific blowback.
A police state. There is no way the government had our best interests at heart when it passed laws subjecting us to all manner of invasive searches and surveillance, censoring our speech and stifling our expression, rendering us anti-government extremists for daring to disagree with its dictates, locking us up for criticizing government policies on social media, encouraging Americans to spy and snitch on their fellow citizens, and allowing government agents to grope, strip, search, taser, shoot and kill us.
Battlefield America. Certainly the government did not have our best interests at heart when it turned America into a battlefield, transforming law enforcement agencies into extensions of the military, conducting military drills on domestic soil, distributing "free" military equipment and weaponry to local police, and desensitizing Americans to the menace of the police state with active shooter drills, color-coded terror alerts, and randomly conducted security checkpoints at "soft" targets such as shopping malls and sports arenas.
School-to-prison pipeline. It would be a reach to suggest that the government had our best interests at heart when it locked down the schools, installing metal detectors and surveillance cameras, adopting zero tolerance policies that punish childish behavior as harshly as criminal actions, and teaching our young people that they have no rights, that being force-fed facts is education rather than indoctrination, that they are not to question governmental authority, that they must meekly accept a life of censorship, round-the-clock surveillance, roadside blood draws, SWAT team raids and other indignities.
Secret human experimentation. One would also be hard-pressed to suggest that the American government had our best interests at heart when it conducted secret experiments on an unsuspecting populace—citizens and noncitizens alike—making healthy people sick by spraying them with chemicals, injecting them with infectious diseases and exposing them to airborne toxins. The government reasoned that it was legitimate (and cheaper) to experiment on people who did not have full rights in society such as prisoners, mental patients, and poor blacks.
As the Associated Press reports, "The late 1940s and 1950s saw huge growth in the U.S. pharmaceutical and health care industries, accompanied by a boom in prisoner experiments funded by both the government and corporations. By the 1960s, at least half the states allowed prisoners to be used as medical guinea pigs … because they were cheaper than chimpanzees."
In Alabama, for example, 600 black men with syphilis were allowed to suffer without proper medical treatment so that the government could study the natural progression of untreated syphilis. In California, older prisoners were implanted with testicles from livestock and executed convicts so the government could test their virility.
In Connecticut, mental patients were injected with hepatitis so the government could study the disease. In Maryland, sleeping prisoners had a pandemic flu virus sprayed up their noses so the government could monitor their symptoms. In Georgia, two dozen "volunteering" prison inmates had gonorrhea bacteria pumped directly into their urinary tracts through the penis so the government could work on a cure.
In Michigan, male patients at an insane asylum were exposed to the flu so the government could experiment with a flu vaccine. In Minnesota, 11 public service employee "volunteers" were injected with malaria, then starved for five days, so the government could study the impact.
In New York, prisoners at a reformatory prison were split into two groups to determine how a deadly stomach virus was spread: the first group was made to swallow an unfiltered stool suspension, while the second group merely breathed in germs sprayed into the air. In Staten Island, children with mental retardation were given hepatitis orally and by injection to see if they could then be cured.
Unfortunately, these incidents are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the atrocities the government has inflicted on an unsuspecting populace in the name of secret experimentation.
For instance, there was the U.S. military's secret race-based testing of mustard gas on more than 60,000 enlisted men (African-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Hispanics, etc.). As NPR reports, "All of the World War II experiments with mustard gas were done in secret and weren't recorded on the subjects' official military records. Most do not have proof of what they went through. They received no follow-up health care or monitoring of any kind. And they were sworn to secrecy about the tests under threat of dishonorable discharge and military prison time, leaving some unable to receive adequate medical treatment for their injuries, because they couldn't tell doctors what happened to them."
And then there was the CIA's Cold War-era program, MKULTRA, in which the government began secretly experimenting on hundreds of unsuspecting American civilians and military personnel by dosing them with LSD, some having the hallucinogenic drug secretly slipped into their drinks, so that the government could explore its uses in brainwashing and controlling targets. The CIA spent nearly $20 million on its MKULTRA program, reportedly as a means of programming people to carry out assassinations and, to a lesser degree, inducing anxieties and erasing memories, before it was supposedly shut down.
Similarly, the top-secret Montauk Project, the inspiration for the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, allegedly was working to develop mind-control techniques that would then be tested out on locals in a nearby village, triggering crime waves or causing teenagers to congregate. Sounds like the stuff of conspiracy theorists, I know, but the government's track record of treating Americans like lab rats has been well-documented, including its attempts to expose whole communities to various toxins as part of its efforts to develop lethal biological weapons and study their impact and delivery methods on unsuspecting populations.
In 1949, for instance, the government sprayed bacteria into the Pentagon's air handling system, then the world's largest office building. In 1950, special ops forces sprayed bacteria from Navy ships off the coast of Norfolk and San Francisco, in the latter case exposing all of the city's 800,000 residents.
In 1953, government operatives staged "mock" anthrax attacks on St. Louis, Minneapolis, and Winnipeg using generators placed on top of cars. Local governments were reportedly told that "'invisible smokescreen[s]' were being deployed to mask the city on enemy radar." Later experiments covered territory as wide-ranging as Ohio to Texas and Michigan to Kansas.
In 1965, the government's experiments in bioterror took aim at Washington's National Airport, followed by a 1966 experiment in which army scientists exposed a million subway NYC passengers to airborne bacteria that causes food poisoning. Now one might argue that this is all ancient history and that the government today is different from the government of yesteryear, but has the U.S. government really changed?
Ask yourself: Has the government become any more humane, any more respectful of the rights of the citizenry? Has it become any more transparent or willing to abide by the rule of law? Has it become any more truthful about its activities? Has it become any more cognizant of its appointed role as a guardian of our rights?
Or, having mastered the Orwellian art of Doublespeak and followed the Huxleyan blueprint for distraction and diversion, has the government simply gotten craftier and more conniving, better able to hide its nefarious acts and dastardly experiments under layers of secrecy, legalism and obfuscations? Consider this: after revelations about the government's experiments spanning the 20th century spawned outrage, the government began looking for human guinea pigs in other countries, where "clinical trials could be done more cheaply and with fewer rules."
In Guatemala, prisoners and patients at a mental hospital were infected with syphilis, "apparently to test whether penicillin could prevent some sexually transmitted disease." More recently, U.S.-funded doctors "failed to give the AIDS drug AZT to all the HIV-infected pregnant women in a study in Uganda even though it would have protected their newborns." Meanwhile, in Nigeria, children with meningitis were used to test an antibiotic named Trovan. Eleven children died and many others were left disabled.
What kind of government perpetrates such horrific acts on human beings, whether or not they are American citizens?
Is there any difference between a government mindset that justifies experimenting on prisoners because they're "cheaper than chimpanzees" and a government that sanctions jailhouse strip searches of individuals charged with minor infractions simply because it's easier on a jail warden's workload?
John Lennon was right: "We're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends."
Unfortunately, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Just recently, for example, a Fusion Center in Washington State (a Dept. of Homeland Security-linked data collection clearinghouse that shares information between state, local and federal agencies) inadvertently released records on remote mind control tactics (the use of "psycho-electronic" weapons to control people from a distance or subject them to varying degrees of pain). Mind you, there is no clear evidence to suggest that these particular documents were created by a government agency. Then again, the government—no stranger to diabolical deeds or shady experiments carried out an unsuspecting populace—has done it before.
After all, this is a government that has become almost indistinguishable from the evil it claims to be fighting, whether that evil takes the form of terrorism, torture, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, murder, violence, theft, pornography, scientific experimentations or some other diabolical means of inflicting pain, suffering and servitude on humanity.
For too long now, the American people have been persuaded to barter their freedoms for phantom promises of security and, in the process, have rationalized turning a blind eye to all manner of government wrongdoing—asset forfeiture schemes, corruption, surveillance, endless wars, SWAT team raids, militarized police, profit-driven private prisons, and so on—because they were the so-called lesser of two evils. No matter how you rationalize it, the lesser of two evils is still evil.
There's a scene in The Third Man, Carol Reed's influential 1949 film starring Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles in which a rogue war profiteer (Harry Lime) views human carnage with a callous indifference, unconcerned that the diluted penicillin he's been trafficking underground has resulted in the tortured deaths of young children. Challenged by his old friend Holly Martins to consider the consequences of his actions, Lime responds, "In these days, old man, nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don't, so why should we?" "Have you ever seen any of your victims?" asks Martins.
"Victims?" responds Lime, as he looks down from the top of a Ferris wheel onto a populace reduced to mere dots on the ground. "Look down there. Tell me. Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every dot that stopped, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money, or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare?"
Lime's callous indifference is no different from the U.S. government's calculating cost-benefit analyses. In the eyes of the government, "we the people" are chump change. So why do Americans keep believing the government has their best interests at heart? Why do Americans keep trusting the government?
Why do Americans pretend not to know what is so obvious to anyone with eyes and ears and a conscience?
As Carl Sagan recognized, "If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
We should never have trusted the government in the first place.
That's why the Founders came up with a Bill of Rights. They recognized that without binding legal protections affirming the rights of the people, the newly instituted American government would be no better than the old British despot.
It was Thomas Jefferson who warned, "In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." Unfortunately, we didn't heed the warning.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the government has ripped the Constitution to shreds and left us powerless in the face of its power grabs, greed and brutality. So how do you fight back? How do you fight injustice? How do you push back against tyranny? How do you vanquish evil?
You don't fight it by hiding your head in the sand. Stop being apathetic. Stop being neutral. Stop being accomplices.
Start recognizing evil and injustice and tyranny for what they are. Demand government transparency. Vote with your feet (i.e., engage in activism, not just politics). Refuse to play politics with your principles. Don't settle for the lesser of two evils.
As British statesman Edmund Burke warned, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men [and women] to do nothing."
It's time for good men and women to do something. And soon.
Hacker Drops Seth Rich Bombshell, Could Blow Case Wide Open
by Martin Walsh
New Zealand-based hacker and political activist Kim Dotcom claims the hacking of the Democratic National Committee in 2016 was an inside job. If that's true, it could blow the case of the mysterious murder of former DNC staffer Seth Rich wide open.
It all began Sunday when President Donald Trump explained on Twitter that he had never denied the possibility of Russia meddling in the 2016 presidential election, saying at one point that "it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer."
I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said "it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer." The Russian "hoax" was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia – it never did!
In response to that tweet, Dotcom tweeted that the DNC was hacked by "an insider with a memory stick," adding, "Special Counsel Mueller is not interested in my evidence. My lawyers wrote to him twice. He never replied." See his response below:
Let me assure you, the DNC hack wasn't even a hack. It was an insider with a memory stick. I know this because I know who did it and why. Special Counsel Mueller is not interested in my evidence. My lawyers wrote to him twice. He never replied. 360 pounds! https://t.co/AGRO0sFx7s https://t.co/epXtv0t1uN
— Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) February 18, 2018
Dotcom asserts that the DNC files were copied at a speed that wouldn't be possible by someone on the other side of the planet — like in Russia or China.
Advertisement - story continues below He also contends that a DNC insider had access to the data and transferred the files to a memory stick at a rate that could only be achieved by someone in close proximity to the DNC office building.
Dotcom's claim was validated by analysis conducted last year by a researcher named Forensicator, who determined the DNC files were copied at a rate of 22.6 megabits per second.
He claims it wouldn't be possible for someone on the other side of globe to copy network files that quickly. As noted by WND, Dotcom's explosive statement coupled with analysis from Forensicator lends credibility to the theory that Rich was involved, to an extent, in the "hack."
Rich was shot and killed in July of 2016 while walking home at night in Washington, D.C. Police ruled it was a failed robbery attempt, but conspiracies have circulated that he was murdered for giving the hacked DNC files to WikiLeaks, which released emails from the DNC during the 2016 presidential election.
Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign chairman John Podesta reported in March 2016 that his email was "hacked," and his emails were released by WikiLeaks, according to The Washington Post.
There's certainly some evidence that lends credibility to the theory that Rich was the individual who leaked the files to WikiLeaks. If Rich was responsible for "hacking" the DNC, that would also expose the Democrats' claim that the Russians hacked their servers and cost them the election.
Share this story online with your thoughts on Kim Dotcom claiming Seth Rich copied DNC files and gave them to WikiLeaks.
Beware - Web Spying Companies Recording all User Keystrokes
by Allen Williams
A few weeks ago, I decided to have a look at one of the web visitor data recording companies out there to see what kind of information they could collect.. Motherboard reports that a Princeton study revealed that over 400 companies (so far) record your every keystroke and them transmit it to a third party website.
Typical companies providing this service are FullStory, SessionCam, SmartLook, UserReplay, etc. I opted to try SmartLook simply because the 'geniuses' at Webnode provided a convenient widget to insert their tracking code.
It just isn't enough today that American Intelligence agencies are spying on everyone with their Prism software, but they are partnering with major business and social media like the CIA's 600 million contract with Amazon .com for cloud access. We already know that Facebook and until recently Twitter provide information to the CIA. The bad news here is that all purchases through Amazon are retained on their cloud servers and the CIA will have access. You can be certain that any cloud service that your application communicates with will be available to the intelligence services as well as a host of unknown third parties because the data is NOT encrypted.
It's far better to get the 'mark' to provide personalized data on him or herself to the tracking recorder thinking that he's browsing anonymously or at least ignored but "…many of these companies have dashboards where clients can playback the recordings they collect. Yandex, Hotjar, and Smartlook's dashboards run non-encrypted HTTP pages, rather than much more secure, encrypted HTTPS pages." The biggest liability is that once the data is removed from your site all control is lost, virtually anyone could have access to this data and you'd never know.
I was curious to find out just what could be collected by SmartLook. However, I was surprised to find that the actual service is quite haphazard. Either SmartLook is developing their recording software 'on the fly' as the saying goes or you really don't get much on the 'free' side. But upgrading the service means you're paying to have your readers spied on.
Fortunately, the SmartLook collected data is not totally accurate or reliable. Primarily because the staff is not well organized, knowledgeable or well versed in English. After adding their code to The Patriot's header and getting nothing, I contacted SmartLook support where a woman named Sofie informed me by email that "In one case Only in webnode premium you can add code directly to the HTML header of the whole website. In webnode free, you need to install the code in all pages you wish to track." Anyone, who is remotely conscious or understands the language, knows that free websites don't have custom registered URLs as we do, ergo, we are a premium user! So this individual is likely responding with canned phrases from the company's data forum without any understanding of what was conveyed because they can't communicate beyond an elementary level in English.
In another case, two different users known to me personally, one residing in Kansas and the other in Ohio accessed our site but showed the same IP address in the data collection set. Upon questioning one of the support staff as to how this could happen, I was told that "The only explanation is that it was the same person and the two different names appeared because you have wrong code settings." The company's help link indicates that if you want to track a particular user, you have to type their email address directly into the tracking code and they give an example case. The SmarLook tracking code is 'paste-in' and Webnode provides the widget access so unless you can't type an address within the two apostrophe markers, you can't have wrong code settings unless either SmartLook or Webnode made them.
Individual email identification is no better as I have seen a whole day of data collection of 6 or more people with the same email but different IP addresses. Guess the user has multiple identities so he or she switches every couple of hours throughout the day. The responses I've received from their support staff are disingenuous and you can't really trust their assessments.
After some dickering back and forth with their support personnel to get things working the way SmartLook advertised, I indeed found that I could watch a visitor enter our site and view virtually everything he or she clicked on. This kind of information can and will be abused down the road and It's already happening as "The CBS report suggests in no uncertain terms that the personal information pertaining to millions of Americans collected by one of the World's largest ad agencies is sold to the CIA."
Smartlook claimed their software only retained three days worth of data but that's because I wasn't paying them to collect it. Data was collected from approximately Nov 3rd to Nov 24th obviously more than 3 days. There was no data collected beyond Nov 24th, 2017 by their system even though I still had their code installed on the site for several more days. At first, I thought it was yet another glitch but when nothing more was recorded, I removed the code. On Nov. 27th, all archived data subsequently disappeared from the SmartLook control panel or at least was interred somewhere where I couldn't access it. You can be reasonably certain that it's still archived there even if I no longer have access to it.
UPDATE 12/12/17 Why Have you Stopped Using SmartLook?
I have noticed you removed our code from your website. Can you tell me why did you stop using Smartlook? Just pick a letter:
A) Smartlook doesn't record my website properly
B) I don't have time to watch the recordings / I find no added value in Smartlook
C) I just removed Smartlook temporarily - plan to use it again
D) I am missing feature X (please fill in)
E) Neither of those, let me tell you why...
I will be glad for any feedback, even if it's negative.
Vladimir Sandera
cofounder, optimist
I received this correspondence from one of the SmartLook co-founders in early December after removing their code from our header. Why was this an issue? Could it be that they wanted me to leave the code installed to keep recording visitor data whether or not I chose to use it?
"We're excited to tell you we're migrating all our data to more powerful cloud service (AWS)! Your account included. The process is time-intensive, but we're working hard to complete the migration by the end of next week.
While the long-term benefits will be great, we wanted to let you know you might experience a few bumps and minor interruptions along the way. (Might.)
The good news:
AWS provides us with more safety, stability, and speed
Your data will be better serviced and stored securely
Smartlook features will run faster
This migration is a lot of work, and we appreciate your patience during the next few days while we finish up"
Your Smartlook Team
Long term benefits for whom? This move simply presents more opportunities for data to be accessed by more persons unknown as it's unlikely that Smarlook's new AWS storage is any more secure than Yahoo who experienced a major hack.
I recommend readers give serious consideration to a good AD blocker: "If you want to block session replay scripts, popular ad-blocking tool AdBlock Plus will now protect you against all of the ones documented in the Princeton study."
EXCLUSIVE Pamela Geller Interviews Parents of Idaho 5-Year-Old Girl Raped by Muslim Migrant Gang
by Atlas Shrugs
In their very first interview, I will be going LIVE to interview the parents of the five-year-old victim who was raped by a Muslim migrant mob. They'll be taking your questions. Don't miss it.
✔ @PamelaGeller
4PM Facebook LIVE: EXCLUSIVE Pamela Geller Interviews Parents of Idaho 5-Year-Old Girl Raped by Muslim Migrant Gang http://dlvr.it/Pd76Q5
Tune in at 4 m Eastern time today on my Facebook page here.
Here's the background — read the whole thing.
A five-year-old girl was raped and urinated upon by three Muslim migrant boys in Twin Falls, Idaho; one of them, a 14-year-old, videotaped the attack. After the attack, instead of getting justice, the victim's family has been abused and targeted by law enforcement and medical authorities as if they were the criminals. The mother cannot get copies of the medical records of her own child, or transcripts of 9-1-1 calls made on the day of the attack.
In examining notes taken of their conversations with the victim's mother, I was taken aback by how contemptuous they are of her. They talk down to her, as if she were the perpetrator, not the mother of the victim of this monstrous attack.
It is outrageous. And it gets worse. The supposedly seven-year-old rapist who put his penis in the girl's mouth, urinated on her and in her mouth, and who reportedly owned the blue pocket knife that he used to threaten her, was never even removed from his home. [Where are child protective services now? - ED} That family still lives next door to the victim. For the longest time, the attacker wasn't even limited in his access to the community's children; now he must be supervised by someone 14 years old or older. When they stipulated this, the court had to have been aware that the boy who videotaped the rape was 14. This a gross insult against this victimized family — and a direct result of a judge's decision.
The Prosecutor Grant Loeb attacked those of us exposing the story — read this. Loeb worked furiously to keep it quiet and sweep it under the carpet. And the US Attorney threatened prosecution for Twin Falls "rumors"
DAHO INJUSTICE Travesty: Migrant attackers of 5-year-old unpunished Exclusive: Pamela Geller says officials sacrificed girl's well-being to protect Muslim boys
Acct by Pamela Geller, WND:
The travesty of justice in Idaho is now complete. In the summer of 2016, a 5-year-old girl was sexually assaulted and urinated upon by three Muslim migrant boys in Twin Falls, Idaho. Since then, instead of getting justice, the victim's family has been abused by law enforcement and governing authorities as if they were the criminals – because what happened to their little girl contradicts the politically correct narrative about Muslim migrants. On Monday, the perpetrators were sentenced, and the final injustice was done to this poor girl.
The injustice began in the proceedings at the Snake River Juvenile Detention Center in Twin Falls when Judge Thomas Borreson of Idaho's 5th Judicial District ordered the little victim's parents to say nothing to anyone – ever – about what was said in the courtroom Monday, or to disclose the sentence he gave to the savage attackers. He did allow them to say that they were unhappy with the sentencing, but threatened to jail them for contempt of court if they disclosed why they were unhappy with it.
But even though the victim's parents were not allowed to talk to me, there were 12 to 15 people in the courtroom who saw and heard the whole sorry business. I was informed of what happened by an anonymous source inside the courtroom – and the more I heard, the more I understood why this judge wanted to keep all the proceedings secret.
Janice Kroeger, the senior deputy prosecuting attorney, who was supposed to be trying these boys for their crimes, defended the boys and repeatedly attacked Lacy, the victim's mother. A therapist for the boys was present, as well as a parole officer and a detective. Everything that was said was designed to portray the perpetrators as victims. Throughout the proceedings, they were repeatedly called victims, and the youngest one was called "the biggest victim of them all."
The court heard all about how the attackers are doing well in school, and about how smart they are. They were praised for the supposed ordeal they had to go through. It was claimed that all three are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from having to go through courtroom proceedings. After this lovefest, which lasted for five hours in the courtroom, all three boys were sentenced, one after the other. All three were given probation. They were not found guilty of rape, but of sexually lewd conduct.
In the midst of this judicial mugging, every time Lacy's lawyer tried to speak up, he was silenced. The little victim, Jayla, was never even mentioned once by Kroeger or the judge – or by the police or anyone else. Only Lacy mentioned her, when she made her statement. Lacy detailed how the poor girl is still suffering the effects of this attack: She is wetting the bed and having bad dreams, and more.
Yet when Lacy completed her statement, Kroeger lashed out not at the perpetrators or their parents, but at Lacy. She viciously tongue-lashed Lacy for a full 15 minutes, until finally Judge Borreson had to stop her.
Understandably, the parents of the victim were and are devastated. Back in April, when the attackers initially pleaded guilty, Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs said: "I am pleased that we were able to resolve this case in a way that was approved and agreed to by the victim's family. This continues to be a serious and sad case, but it was resolved properly."
Nothing could be further from the truth. The resolution of the case was not accepted by the victim's family, and it was not resolved properly.
From the beginning to the end, for Idaho officials this case was about one thing, and one thing only: not justice for this poor little girl who was brutalized and abused, but about making sure that Americans don't start to realize what is happening and oppose the Muslim migrant influx. Idaho officials were willing to sacrifice this girl's well-being for that goal – to their everlasting shame.
If there were any justice, Judge Borreson would be impeached and removed now. Meanwhile, please help the victim and her family meet their considerable expenses: Contribute here.

Rapid development of living standards and organic agriculture have launched a large market of organic food in China. It is anticipated that Chinese demand for organic food will grow substantially in the observable period (Sheng et al., 365). In addition, the food scandals which took place several years ago have raised an important question of the quality of food. The contamination of products with formaldehyde or arsenic and cooking in recycled oil collected from sewer have caused large mistrust to local food retailers among the consumers in China. The food safety became a topical issue among the consumers who appreciate their health and can allow to protect it (Duggan, n.p.). The growing amount of people are perceiving Western products as those being much safer, which raises market opportunities for their export into China, and makes this marketing niche very attractive for the Western companies, including American.
In the United States, California is one of the largest manufacturers of the organic food. The legislation regulating this sector, such as federal Organic Foods Production Act of 1990, and the California Organic Products Act of 2003, are strictly monitored by the Organic Program of California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA, n.p.). It ensures the highest quality of local products and makes them suit all necessary certification.This international marketing entry strategy plan is aimed at evaluating the opportunities of the organic food from California entering Chinese market. The plan will describe a company which is going to enter the market, its orientation and positioning, determine potential marketing opportunities and target audience. The plan will elaborate the features of product positioning and modifications, strategies of pricing, distribution and promotion, and present the analysis of success factors and possible marketing constraints which may arise in the course of action.
A company which is planning the entry is "California Health Green" (or CHG), a producer of organic food specializing on the upper middle class customers. During the last year CHG is actively entering foreign developing markets, targeting the expatriate workers and high-income local citizens. The company positions itself as a producer and retailer of qualitative organic food, where quality equals the price. The modifications of CHG product lines include the products for higher middle class and a line of the exclusive luxury products. Due to the growth of domestic competition in the US, along with the high demand in the organic food sector in developing countries, the overall orientation of company is slowly shifting towards the work on the foreign markets.

It was a year ago today that Relish died, and the tears are already blurring my vision as I type this.
I met Relish one sunny afternoon on a beach on Prince Edward Island, Canada. It was my first visit to the beach in more than a month. As I sat there enjoying the heat and the sound of the surf, this beautiful black dog came over to check me out.
Almost immediately, I wanted to take her home with me. But she had a collar on, which meant that she belonged to someone. I let her wander off. A minute later, as some people entered the beach from between the dunes, we struck up a conversation. I told them that it was a good thing the dog had a collar, because I had considered taking her home. The woman asked me if I was serious. I said that I was.
She told me that the owners were looking for a new home for the dog. A month later, after an "interview" over dinner one night, Relish was mine. It took a while for her to get used to being with me, and me with her.
We spent another two years on Prince Edward Island, taking long walks twice a day. I'll never forget the walk where she decided to take a tree branch about 20 feet long home with her. She dragged it with her teeth for at least a half mile before she finally gave up.
She was known to everyone who drove by our house as the dog who loved to lay in the snow for hours at a time. Her cold belly must have moderated the heat from the sun on her back.
We went to the beach as often as we could, as she so loved the water. I'm sure it was the Labrador in her that made her wade out, even when the water was freezing cold early in spring and late into autumn.
In 2007, we headed west for a year before moving to Ecuador. Inadvertently, she saved me from walking into the path of a couple of grizzly bear youngsters. She stopped in her tracks, tail dead still. I knew something was wrong, and when I looked up ahead, I saw what it was. The bears were less than 100 feet from us. I yanked Relish back in the direction of home, looking over my should the entire way.
We left for Ecuador on October 1, 2008. I don't think she ever got used to it here. She was the gentlest soul I've ever known. She loved people, and enjoyed meeting anyone.
But in Ecuador, they don't treat dogs the way they're treated in North America. Especially large black dogs. People used to cross to the other side of the street when they saw her walking down the sidewalk by my side.
She loved me unconditionally. And she loved her rubber duck just as much. She had her duck from puppyhood, and she has it still. I buried it with her in the park across the street from our house in Cuenca.
Relish died at the vet clinic, less than an hour before I arrived to take her home. The vet said she started coughing up blood and there was nothing that he could do to stop it. So he put her out of her misery. Less than an hour later, mine began.
I'm embarrassed to say that I have almost no photos of Relish. To honour my sweet Relish, I photographed Rubber Duck on the night that my girl died. That's one of the photos of Ducky up at the top of the page.
Relish, thank you for coming to the beach that day in 2005. We had almost 8 years together, and I cherish every day. At least I can laugh now about the day after our first Christmas in Ecuador, when you came home green after rolling in cow manure. And the time when you rolled in the skunk carcass in the backyard on PEI.
You brightened up my life for months and months and months. You were definitely my better half.
I'm so sorry that I wasn't there to hold you and say goodbye. Perhaps one day soon I'll forgive myself for being late to pick you up. If I'd been on time, I would have been there for you when you needed me most.
I loved you at first sight, Relish, and always will love you!

Brendan Fraser says he's broke
PenguinJoe
900K is a lot of money for alimony though, what is this woman buying?
Once upon a time he was one of Hollywood's biggest box office draws, but now Brendan Fraser is "broke" and fighting to reduce the huge alimony and child support payments he was ordered to pay his ex-wife, RadarOnline.com is reporting.
Fraser, 44, who once had a net worth of $45m and is currently starring in animated movie Escape from Planet Earth, has pleaded with a Connecticut court to slash his annual $900,000 payment to Afton Smith because he can no longer afford them.
The Mummy actor had only settled his divorce with Afton in 2009 – but insists that he can't cover the costs he initially agreed to because he's no longer earning the money he once did.
According to a report in the New York Post , Afton claims that Brendan is hiding money from her, despite his protestations that his earnings aren't what they used to be.

Re: Brendan Fraser says he's broke
Brendan Fraser had a nice run there. There was a certain type of role that he excelled in, but that vogue is over. He just missed out on the superhero trend. He would have made a good Green Lantern or Flash or Captain America or something once upon a time, but he's too old now. Somebody should have crafted a TV series for him. It's not too late for that to happen. He could play a detective or a small-town sheriff. He might want to start doing more hard-edged roles, maybe try to do a Buford Pusser-type role. Is he still in shape? I don't think I've seen him in anything since that third MUMMY movie five or so years ago.

This isn't about how much Brendan Fraser had in the past (which was likely split in some way during the divorce), or how much the ex wife has, it's about the amount of alimony and child support he agreed to during the divorce, and whether Fraser's current pay is enough to cover that annual amount.
Atleast he's still popular enough to warrant a whole thread and huge discussion!

There's gossip, and then there's GOSSIP. The latter happened in China recently, when the man slated to become the country's new leader, Xi Jinping, went missing for more than a week. With each passing day, rumors mounted about his status. Was he being purged before the Communist Party Congress, where new leadership would take power? Did he hurt his back while swimming? Did he suffer a heart attack or stroke? Did he get in a car accident? No one knew for sure.

Sticky Knowledge
Barriers to Knowing in the Firm
Gabriel Szulanski - INSEAD, Singapore
February 2003 | 140 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
Why don't best practices spread within firms?
What exactly is sticky knowledge?
Having recognized that knowledge assets are rapidly becoming their most precious source of competitive advantage, a large number of organizations are now attempting to transfer best practices. Yet best practices still remain stubbornly immobile.
Sticky Knowledge reveals that the transfer of practices is a complex phenomenon, and demonstrates the range of barriers to transferring best practices within the firm. Written in a brief and accessible format, Gabriel Szulanski defines the popular concept of stickiness and its operationalization, providing a roadmap for understanding and further researching this topical issue.
Taking a fresh look at accepted wisdom, and presenting research findings that conflict with some established views, the book will be essential reading for academics and students addressing issues related to knowledge and the firm. Practising managers and MBA students will also find it of immense value.

Research and Practical Implications
`The most helpful suggestion I can give potential readers is this: start reading. From the opening paragraphs, most readers will sense that they are safe in the hands of a skilled expositor who has hold of an important problem - and who, it subsequently turns out, has attacked that problem by deploying a substantial battery of research skills with notable theoretical and methodological sophistication. The result is a set of findings that challenge conventional wisdom about the problem of
intrafirm transfer of best practice, and provide important insights into related issues in the theory and practice of strategic management.
This is not only a fine contribution to the literature of strategic management, but also a welcome addition to the empirical literature relevant to evolutionary economics. There, it falls under the rubric of "replication of routines" - a rubric broad enough to encompass not only Szulanski's topic, but also the problem of sustaining an ongoing productive performance at a given site, the problem of creating a productive facility at a new site by copying an existing one, and the problem of moving from prototype levels of production to full production of a new product. Although these problems are far from identical, there is substantial overlap among the issues they raise, both in theoretical and practical terms.
Szulanski's work offers a uniquely valuable perspective; the companies he studies are aware of the potential benefits of intrafirm transfer of superior practices, and generally quite familiar with the use of benchmarking as a management tool. For several reasons, one should expect transfer to be substantially facilitated in Szulanski's setting relative to more typical settings. He finds, nevertheless, clear indications of the difficulty of transfer and provides a fascinating diagnosis of the sources of difficulty. These findings throw some light on the entire range of replication problems, and suggest fruitful lines for further inquiry into these important issues.
Although the author displays appropriate scholarly caution in interpreting his results, there is guidance available here even for the manager who must start planning a major transfer effort tomorrow morning. The rocks and the whirlpools are not convincingly located on the conventional maps; this new map is a better bet.
It has been my privilege to interact with Gabriel Szulanski as his work has progressed. I am now pleased to recommend this work to all scholars and managers who recognize that the creation and transfer of productive knowledge is central to their concerns, and are prepared to confront the subtle challenges that knowledge management presents' - Sidney G Winter, Deloitte and Touche Professor of Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
"This book presents much of the best thinking on the challenges of knowledge transfer...The book manages to explore complex theoretical issues in straightforward language, and provides the details of analysis in appendixes directed at active researchers. Szulanski combines an interesting set of studies on knowledge, and his book represents an excellent summation of what we currently know about the transfer of knowledge in organizations. This book will take its rightful place as a major contribution to research on organizational capabilities."

Wingless, Bloodsucking And Parasitic: Meet The Flea Party!
October 12, 2011 by Ann Coulter
So far, the only major accomplishment of the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters is that they have finally put an end to their previous initiative, "Occupy Our Mothers' Basements."
Oddly enough for such a respectable-looking group — a mixture of adolescents looking for a cause, public sector union members, drug dealers, criminals, teenage runaways, people who have been at every protest since the Berkeley Free Speech Movement, Andrea Dworkin look-alikes, people 95 percent of whose hair is concentrated in their ponytails and other average Democrats — they can't even explain what they're protesting.
The protesters either treat inquiries about their purpose as a trick question, or — worse — instantly rattle off a series of insane causes: "No. 1, abolish capitalism; No. 2, because 9/11 was an inside job; No. 3, because Mumia is innocent …"
Curiously, the only point universally agreed upon by the protesters and their admirers in the Democratic Party and the mainstream media is that "Occupy Wall Street" should be compared to the tea party. Yes, that would be the same tea party that has been denounced and slandered by the Democratic Party and the mainstream media for the last three years.
As a refresher: The Democratic National Committee called the tea partiers "angry mobs" and "rabid right-wing extremists." ABC said they were a "mob." CNN accused them of "rabble rousing." Harry Reid called them "evil mongers." Nancy Pelosi said they were "un-American." CNN's Anderson Cooper and every single host on MSNBC called the tea partiers a name that referred to an obscure gay sex act.
But apparently liberals couldn't even convince themselves that tea partiers were an extremist group unworthy of emulation.
At least they're embarrassed about what the OWS protesters really are: wingless, bloodsucking and parasitic. This is the flea party, not the tea party.
Contrary to all the blather you always hear about how lawless street protests and civil disobedience are part of the American tradition — "what our troops are fighting for!" — they are not. We are an orderly people with democratic channels at our disposal to change our government.
The very reason we have a constitutional republic is because of a mob uprising. Soon after the American Revolution, Shays' Rebellion so terrified and angered Americans that they demanded a federal government capable of crushing such mobs.
For nearly 200 years, Americans understood that they lived in a country capable of producing bad politicians and bad policies, but which was subject to change through peaceful, democratic means. There was no need to riot or storm buildings because we didn't have a king. We had a representative government.
Even when injustice existed, there were constitutional mechanisms to right wrongs.
For nearly a century after the Civil War, congressional Republicans kept introducing bills that implemented the civil rights amendments — only to be blocked by segregationist Democrats. But then, attorney Thurgood Marshall came along and began winning cases before the Supreme Court, redeeming black Americans' constitutional rights through the judiciary.
As long as a Republican sat in the White House, those victories were enforced. In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock, Ark., to walk black children to school in defiance of the segregationist, Democratic governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus — Bill Clinton's friend.
This is what our Constitution was designed for: to use the force of the federal government to uphold the law when the states couldn't (Shays' Rebellion) or wouldn't (segregationist Democrats).
If Richard Nixon had won the 1960 election instead of John F. Kennedy — as some say he did — there never would have been a need for Rosa Parks, the Freedom Rides and the rest of the civil disobedience of the civil rights movement.
But as soon as the Democrats got control of the White House, enforcement of the Supreme Court's civil rights rulings came to a grinding halt. Democrats were free to violate the Court's rulings without interference from Democratic presidents.
The ingenious system given to us by our founding fathers faltered on the morally corrupt obstructionism of Democrats. They simply refused to abide by the rules — with glee at the state level, and with cowardice at the federal level.
Here, finally, was an appropriate case for nonviolent protest. There hasn't been another justification for civil disobedience in this country until the Supreme Court invented a "right" to abortion in Roe v. Wade — another act of lawlessness by liberals.
(All this and more is detailed in the smash best-seller, Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America !)
Now liberals compare their every riot, every traffic blockage, every Starbucks-window-smashing street protest to the civil rights movement –- which was only necessary because of them. These "Occupy Wall Street" ignoramuses seem to imagine they are blacks living in 1963 Alabama under Democratic governor George Wallace.
To the contrary, the Wall Street protesters have no specific objections and no serious policy proposals in a country that is governed, as Abraham Lincoln put it, "by the people." They protest because they enjoy creating mayhem, not because any law is being ignored or their rights violated by government officials.
They are not in the tradition of the tea partiers, much less our founding fathers. They are not in the tradition of the civil rights movement or Operation Rescue. They are in the tradition of Shays' Rebellion, the Weathermen and Charles Manson.

What Is Clogging?
7 days ago Charlotte Miller
Are you curious to know what is clogging? You have come to the right place as I am going to tell you everything about clogging in a very simple explanation. Without further discussion let's begin to know what is clogging?
1 What Is Clogging?
2.1 Why Is It Called Clogging?
2.2 Is Clogging The Same As Irish Dancing?
2.3 Where Does Clogging Come From?
2.4 What Is Clogging In Pumps?
Clogging is a form of folk dance that originated in the Appalachian Mountains in the United States. The dance is characterized by the use of hard-soled shoes, typically clogs, which are worn to create percussive sounds on a wooden stage or floor.
Clogging is often performed in a group setting, with dancers forming lines or circles and performing coordinated steps and movements. The dance is typically accompanied by upbeat, fast-paced music, often played on instruments such as the banjo or fiddle.
One of the unique features of clogging is the use of "syncopation," which is the accentuation of beats that fall between the usual beats in a piece of music. This creates a distinctive, upbeat rhythm that is central to the clogging style.
Clogging has a rich history, with roots in traditional European and African dance styles. In the past, clogging was often performed at community events such as barn dances and square dances. Today, it is still a popular form of dance and is often performed at festivals, competitions, and other events.
Clogging is also a great form of exercise, requiring coordination and strength in the legs and feet. It is a fun, high-energy dance that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels.
Overall, Clogging is a traditional folk dance that uses hard-soled shoes to create percussive sounds on a wooden stage or floor, usually performed in a group setting and accompanied by upbeat, fast-paced music, often played on instruments such as the banjo or fiddle. Clogging has a rich history and is still enjoyed by many people today as a form of exercise, and entertainment.
Why Is It Called Clogging?
Clogging (the name of which derives from the Gaelic word for "time") is the name of a distinctive dance style that originated in the Appalachian mountains.
Is Clogging The Same As Irish Dancing?
However, there are some distinct features of clogging that separate it from both Irish and tap dance. Of the three styles, clogging is more flat-footed — "flat-footed clogging" notwithstanding — and while there are jumps in their routines, they are not as frequent or as stylized as those you'll see in Irish dance.
Where Does Clogging Come From?
Clogging developed from aspects of English, Welsh, German, and Cherokee step dances, as well as African rhythms and movements. It was from clogging that tap dance eventually evolved.
What Is Clogging In Pumps?
When overly large solids or certain types of debris enter the water, some pumps are more prone to clogging. Clogged pumps with a full or partial blockage can quickly pose severe damage to the rest of your equipment, cause backups, and can potentially delay your projects.

So, you've spotted a fine example of calligraphy and now you are thinking that you'll never be able to do anything like this. It's easy to get intimidated by smooth lines and fancy curlicues, true, but you forget that they are a result of years of patient practice.
You might think that if you have a bad handwriting, you are doomed and calligraphy is not your thing. This is wrong. Calligraphic writing is different from your everyday handwriting. I manage to produce nice curves with my dip pen, even though my daily writing is a mess and I cannot decipher a word of what I'm writing daily in my notebook.
If calligraphy has caught your eye and you would like to try your hand at it, you might feel overwhelmed and lost at the beginning. Where to start? How to do it economically?
I have been in the same spot about two years ago when I first saw an amazing piece of penmanship. I got excited about calligraphy straight away, and searched online, trying to locate a good teacher and necessary supplies. I've discovered that calligraphy instructors, as well as supplies are rather pricey. I decided to study economically, just trying my hand in the craft at the start.
I've never been a self-study person, but with my husband's encouragement I decided to give it a try. I searched for tips online, studied on my own with manuals, invested a bit of money into basic supplies, and learned on my own mistakes. After some time, I opened an online custom calligraphy shop Inky Letter, and it started supporting me in my quest. Recently, my shop reached its first 100 sales, and I consider it a good sign of progress.
Here are a few tips for those of you who are curious about calligraphy and want to try it on their own.
Decide which hand would you like to try first. Some of them are done with a pointed nib, while others with a broad nib. There is a difference in technique and with the time you will probably learn both of them, but it is good to have an idea of what you would like to do in the beginning. If you wish to earn with calligraphy, it might be a good idea to start with a pointed nib since it is widely used in wedding calligraphy – a natural field to go professional.
Pointed nib: "Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy" by Eleanor Winters that concentrates on classic Copperplate. If you are into Modern calligraphy, it will come naturally to you after you learn the basics of classic calligraphy, so don't rush and learn step by step.
Once you've ordered your manuals, it is time to get your supplies. If you drop by a calligraphy supply shop, you might get overwhelmed by the amount of inks, nibs, and paints. In the beginning, it is easy to spend hundreds of pounds on all the pretty things, and get disappointed in the half of what you've bought. Some supplies are needed for specific project, which you might not be working on for months yet, while some of them might require a more experienced hand.
Paper. Smooth paper in a pad, like Rhodia, which is a proven choice – it won't bleed and will help your nib to move nicely along the page. The manuals have lined pages that you can copy and then put under the pad sheets to avoid lining up.
Ink. Don't go for colored inks. They will look prettier than black, but will mask your mistakes. You learn through mistakes, so black color is your friend. Take fountain pen ink, like Pelikan or calligraphy ink like Higgins Eternal Black. They are not good for special projects, but a good choice for your exercises. I still use them for practice. Don't go for waterproof ink, it won't be needed any time soon.
– Penholders. There is a great variety of penholders, starting at plastic ones and finishing with custom made ebony holders. Go for a simple wooden straight (used for broad nibs) and oblique (used for pointed nibs) holders. Pointed nibs can be used in straight and oblique holders. You will need to try your hand at both to feel which one you like best. I haven't liked an oblique holder at the beginning, but it grew on me and I can't imagine using a straight one with my pointed nibs anymore.
And now, once you are all geared up for your calligraphic journey, be patient and learn to enjoy the quiet, slow, and meditative way of writing words. Good luck!


C and K playing together the other morning. I can't wait til they are able to play together a lot of the time. It's so sweet to watch.
Not the best pic b/c I was in between the playstand but I knew if I moved they would stop playing. That's our fat cat Midnight in the cozy corner in the background. Last time we weighed him he was at 17lbs!!!
I had a custom order from a wonderful mama in C's due date club. This little lamb is her baby's Christmas present. I feel honored to have the opportunity to make this lamb for him.
I decided C needed a sweater to match the one I made for K (for her birthday) It's a little big on her but that's perfect for her to grow into this winter.
C also outgrew her booties so I knitted her another pair but altered the pattern to make them bigger. This yarn is my favorite I LOVE the pink/orange color combo. It's by Three Irish Girls and the color way is 'Fiona' which also happens to be the name of K's best friend!
I didn't make this autumn fairy but I had to share it. She looks so sweet hanging from an oak tree branch above our nature table.
soooooo adorable, i love that they're playing together already! i think it took jasper much longer to have much interest in actually playing with millie!
You are so talented! I really like seeing what you do.
I've been enjoying my two kiddos playing together, too. It's nice while it lasts!
Oh my, everything in this post is just so beautiful. Love the sweater and booties. Did you make that pilot cap too?
Ooooh lovely, I think the blue sweater is the same pattern I made for my son! I love it...I'm making leg warmies now...I just learned to knit in september...I love it...can't believe I waited so long to learn...now I can't stop! I love the pic of the girls playing...so sweet. Sisters are special...mine is my best friend...she even took off 2 years to watch my daughter when I went back to work the first time...consequently they have an amazing bond.
Oh Nicole, what beautiful, sweet pictures and what adorable things you craft! I love the picture of the girls together, there's something so special when your children are friends.
mk is doing better from what i hear through the grapevine. she is at the swamibarn and can be reached there. rama is coming to visit her soon. she is really doing much better.
Yes, let's definitely hang out and knit. And I wanna know what pattern you used for that cupcake hat- too cute.
Thank you everyone. Sorry I am slow in responding lately!
Aren't siblings the best?! I am so happy we want a big family to let all our crazy kiddos play together... I'm no looking forward to the fighting though!
Kimberley- Isn't knitting addictive?! I only learned about 2 years ago and I'mhooked. I always have to be knitting something now. What an amazing sister you have! Wow! That is so sweet!
Marina- <3 Thank you! Are you in labor yet?!?!?
Thanks :) I really have no clue what I'm doing!
oops! How did I not see the 1st 2 comments? ughh! Sorry!
Jennifer- you're too kind. Thank you!


For the sake of clarity, that's a definite 'no' unless that employer is specifically requesting a hard copy.
There is a real danger someone may misread your love of paper and of being 'different' for an aversion to everyday technology (email, online etc).
Maybe there's still room for an innovative hard copy approach to open up a conversation, but that's the exception that will prove the rule.
Don't buck people's recruitment systems. Instead, use them to your best advantage (read my previous post). Email and online submissions are beautiful.


The evolution of technology offers wide range of innovation and growth to many important things that can sustain the daily needs of all human being. One of the fastest and active techniques that come with the flow of evolution is security cameras. Today, there are Wi-Fi security cameras that can truly help in solving various crimes and heighten the level of safety by many. But do you know the important things that you can get from these? Here are some important things that you must know about Wi-Fi surveillance camera.
One of the common concerns by the customers regarding this Wi-Fi security camera is the level of distance that it can transmits signal. The truth behind this issue depends on the power, type, and usage of the Wi-Fi security camera. There are Wi-Fi security cameras that can send signals for about a hundred feet. The smaller scope of the Wi-Fi surveillance camera is good enough for the small offices and small residential homes, however not that power for the preference of everybody.
There are also some Wi-Fi security cameras that can extend to a very broad scope that can even reach a 1000 feet. This are the ones that are beneficial for the bigger buildings and homes or property that surrounds their homes. Do not forget that the larger range of signal would mean additional cost for Wi-Fi security camera. In order to have the most of your money, see to it that when you purchase the Wi-Fi security cameras is when they are sale, it is an excellent ideal that you can get the long range Wi-Fi security camera in minimal cost.
The signal coming from the Wi-Fi security camera has difficulties in passing through the walls and other obstructions, however does not mean that the signals should. Talking about the Wi-Fi security camera, the material that is worse for it is the metal. Since the metal walls and metal objects can cause trouble to the signals that Wi-Fi security camera transmit and damage its reception making the system useless. There are also other material that can create slight difference on the Wi-Fi security camera signals, but the most essential thing is that the system can properly function and have a clear sight of line.
If you have the plan of installing a Wi-Fi security camera in your office, home, or property you must ensure that the point do not have anything that can cause disturbance to the transmitter and its receiver. The Wi-Fi security camera works better if there is no possible obstacles. In designing the Wi-Fi surveillance camera system set, two things should be keep in your mind. The first one is that, you need to take out your best in reducing the amount of the walls or other possible obstructions. And the second thing is that, the Wi-Fi security cameras are categorized as being Wi-Fi because of its video. And therefore, a good source of internet connection must observed.
Being flexible. Since it has no wires that needs to be drag or tether on it, it can be place almost everywhere. This can also crawl or fly as they are made to be small giving you the opportunity to put them anywhere you prefer.
Versatility. You can retrieve the images that you like. The modern Wi-Fi security camera systems allows you to view the live picture from your personal computer and the most exciting on it is that it can even be tracked using your own smartphone. Like if you are leaving your house, you can still monitor it.
Hidden surveillance. This can be hide almost everywhere provided that the signal is not interfered. This type of advantages can offer you various selection like monitoring the activity of the kids or see if someone entering you property like the thieves. Since the Wi-Fi security camera can work without wires, you can save plenty of money since you will no longer buy for additional wirings.
Hi, my name is Thomas Deloach. I live in Miami and work for a home security company. I install all kinds of security systems, and believe me; there are some pretty weak ones out there. My favorite feature is app compatibility. I love being able to see what's going on in and around my house from anywhere just using an app on my phone. But this may not be important for you, so I made this site use my expertise to explain the different types of security systems. That way, you can find the one that is perfect for you, your home, and your budget.


The Ranger teaser trailer is here with an important PSA: National Parks aren't always relaxing.
The horror film about a group of teens terrorized in Blackwood Point National Park was an official selection for the SXSW 2018 Film Festival. It's set to premiere on Monday, but a teaser trailer is here to plant some early fears in your mind.
Following a group of punk rock teens who flock to the woods while running from the cops, the film tells the story of "an unhinged park ranger with an axe to grind."
In the teaser trailer, a voiceover by novelist Ed Kurtz delivers some helpful and cautionary words of advice for those entering the park.
"Bring a map, you could get lost out there. Watch your step so you don't get caught in the snags and brambles. Use the buddy system, the woods are wild and full of predators. And most importantly keep noise to a minimum. This isn't the place for you kids to party."
The film marks the directorial debut of Jenn Wexler, who's best known in Hollywood for her work as a producer. She's also worked on two other films screening at South By Southwest: Robert Mockler's Like Me and Ana Asensio's Most Beautiful Island, and she produced Mickey Keating's 2015 thriller Darling as well as his 2017 film Psychopaths.
"I was watching tons of '80s PSAs. Smokey the Bear type PSAs and after school special type stuff," Wexler told The Hollywood Reporter.
"Directing is very interesting, because you have to be super extroverted on set and in production, and then you go into a dark room for however many months and then you have to be a total introvert," she said. "And then when you are showing the movie off, you have to go back into extrovert."
Wexler co-wrote the script with Giaco Furino. The Ranger stars Chloë Levine, Granit Lahu, Jeremy Pope, Bubba Weiler, Amanda Grace Benitez, and more.

Harbor Country Day School's Mandarin Students Excel on International Chinese Proficiency Test
Written by Long Island News & PR | 12. June 2018
St. James, NY - June 12, 2018 - Fourteen elementary students from Harbor Country Day School, ranging in age from nine to 14, passed the 2018 Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) Chinese Proficiency Test, the standardized international proficiency test administered by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China. The challenging HSK Test, which consists of listening and reading tests, measures students' ability to apply the Chinese language in their studies and in their personal lives.
It is estimated that the HSK Test has been taken more than 100 million times since it was officially introduced in 1992. When several of Harbor Country Day School's Mandarin students took the test in 2017, Harbor became the first elementary school on Long Island to offer the test to its students.
"I could not be more proud of our Mandarin students," said Harbor Country Day Head of School John Cissel. "They are a strong, intelligent, fearless group of students, and the never shy away from a challenge. I'm impressed that so many of them were brave enough to take the HSK test, and then for fourteen of them to pass the test -- that's an incredible accomplishment. Our Mandarin teacher, Hong Li Snyder, has worked so hard to create the best program possible. We're lucky to have her here at Harbor."

Harbor Country Day's Mandarin program is offered to all students in PreK 4 through eighth grade. During the 2017-2018 academic year, 116 students studied Mandarin at Harbor. The program is focused on immersing students in the Chinese culture, as well as achieving fluency in reading, writing, and speaking the Mandarin language.
Harbor Country Day has forged a relationship with the renowned Confucius Institute at Stony Brook University, providing students with increased access to cultural events and experiences throughout the community. For the past four years, the Confucius Institute has invited Harbor Mandarin students to participate in the institute's Chinese New Year celebration at the Charles B. Wang Center on the Stony Brook campus.
In 2017 and 2018, students also were invited to perform for Stony Brook University students, professors, academic deans, and the university president, as well as consuls from the Chinese Embassy in New York, at the Stony Brook Chinese Students and Scholars Association's (SBCSSA) Spring Festival Gala.

And on May 3, Mr. Yongji Xu, the Education Counselor of the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China, invited Harbor's Mandarin students to perform at the 2018 Chinese Consulate Open Day Experiencing China event at the Chinese Consulate in New York City.
Mr. Cissel continued, "Watching our students perform at the Chinese Consulate was an amazing experience. The children -- one of whom is just five years old -- were poised and confident in front of hundreds of people, in an unfamiliar, elegant setting. Everyone in the audience was blown away by their performance. They represented Harbor Country Day School well."
Mandarin teacher Hong Li Snyder added, "I am so proud of my students. From passing the very difficult HSK test to performing in Mandarin, their non-native language, for hundreds and hundreds of people at various community events, they continue to inspire me every day."
