Michelle Pfeiffer Launches Henry Rose Collection of Fine Fragrances
First Fine Fragrance line to be EWG VERIFIED™
Monica Amarelo
WASHINGTON – Today Michelle Pfeiffer launched Henry Rose, a new collection of five distinct scents that meets the Environmental Working Group's rigorous criteria for health, ingredient disclosure and transparency. This is the first fine fragrance line to earn the EWG VERIFIED™ mark.
Fragrance can be concocted from any number of the almost 4,000 stock chemical ingredients used by the industry, the blend of which is almost always kept hidden from the consumer. The Henry Rose line discloses 100 percent of its ingredients, setting a new industry standard for transparency in fine fragrance.
"Earning the EWG VERIFIED mark isn't easy, as anyone who has read our exacting criteria can attest," said EWG President Ken Cook. "We are thrilled to add a fine fragrance to the growing list of EWG VERIFIED products. These scents prove that fragrance companies are capable of disclosing all of their ingredients."
EWG VERIFIED products must be free of substances EWG has put on its list of unacceptable ingredients – those that have been banned or restricted by the U.S. or international government agencies or other authoritative public health bodies, such as the World Health Organization. Companies must also fully disclose their products' ingredients, including the specific ingredients that make up their fragrance mixtures, and follow good manufacturing practices.
More than a decade ago, Pfeiffer struggled to find a fragrance that didn't feel like a compromise between quality and safety. When she couldn't, she stopped wearing fragrance altogether, but found she missed it. This led Pfeiffer, a member of EWG's board of directors, to develop a fine fragrance line based on the strictest health standards that could compete with other premium products on the market.
"More than one seasoned professional in personal care has told me that an EWG VERIFIED fine fragrance 'is impossible.' Well, Michelle Pfeiffer has done the impossible. And her accomplishment sends a clear signal to the personal care industry. If a fine fragrance can be made to meet EWG's rigorous standards for transparency and health, products in every category of personal care can meet our 'clean beauty' standard, too," said Cook.
For more than a decade, EWG has been at the forefront of chemical ingredient disclosure in personal care products, believing that people have the right to know what is in the products they purchase and use every day. The EWG VERIFIED program was created to fill the void left by our nation's antiquated law regulating the cosmetics and personal care products industry, which allows products to enter the marketplace without any testing to show that they are safe.
"We're making it easy for consumers to find personal care products that meet our rigorous health and transparency standards – keeping shoppers in the know about what's really in their products," said Nneka Leiba, director of EWG's Healthy Living Science program. "Our mark gives consumers peace of mind as they try to avoid toxic and potentially harmful chemicals."
EWG VERIFIED products also include cosmetics such as foundations, blushes, eye shadows, eyeliners, lipsticks and lip glosses; skin care products such as lotions and moisturizers; shampoos and soaps; and many more personal care products.
EWG VERIFIED products must:
be free of EWG's ingredients of concern.
fully disclose all ingredients on the label.
be produced with the best manufacturing practices.

Swedish Energy Agency awards funding to Minesto's innovative energy technology
Swedish marine energy developer Minesto has received additional public support and funding for the development and commercialisation of its marine energy technology called Deep Green. The Swedish Energy Agency has awarded Minesto a SEK 12.5 million grant to the development of the company's marine power plant DG100.
"Climate change and the transition to renewable energy is a global challenge in which Swedish technology like ours can play a significant role. It is therefore crucial that the Swedish innovation system is involved and supports the development of what could be a new Swedish export industry", said Dr Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto.
Minesto develops a patented technology for generating green electricity from tidal and ocean currents. With no suitable tidal resource around Sweden, the Gothenburg-based company has operations and projects also in the UK, the Faroe Islands and Taiwan.
Technology and product development is however taking place in Sweden and the Swedish Energy Agency has now granted Minesto funding of SEK 12.5 million which will support the development of the first marine power plant of Minesto's DG100 model.
The first DG100 systems will be installed in the Faroe Islands, which Minesto recently received funding for from the European Commission.
"We now have two public bodies from the EU and Sweden that independently support the roadmap to bring our product to the market. In the Faroe Islands we are part of one of the world's most ambitious energy transition projects. It is the perfect context to show how tidal energy by Minesto's technology complements solar and wind to create sustainable energy systems", said Martin Edlund.

Have you seen all those clever and funny AWS commercials? For the normal GIS person adding yet another platform to learn and use can be a bit daunting. Don't fret, we are not abandoning you, to put your mind at ease yes, we can handle that for you BUT for those of you who are D.I.Y. Geogeeks; below are some tips.


This resource covers all type of orders for medications for a patient. This includes inpatient medication orders as well as community orders (whether filled by the prescriber or by a pharmacy). It also includes orders for over-the-counter medications (e.g. Aspirin), total parenteral nutrition and diet/ vitamin supplements. It may be used to support the order of medication-related devices. It is not intended for use in prescribing particular diets, or for ordering non-medication-related items (eyeglasses, supplies, etc.). In addition, the MedicationRequest may be used to report orders/request from external systems that have been reported for informational purposes and are not authoritative and are not expected to be acted upon (e.g. dispensed or administered).
The MedicationRequest resource is a "request" resource from a FHIR workflow perspective - see Workflow Request.
The MedicationRequest resource is used to request or order medication for a subject. It may also be used to report a medication request or order from one organization or source to another. When requesting supplies or devices when there is a patient focus or instructions regarding their use, SupplyRequest or DeviceRequest should be used instead. When reporting on the usage of a medication by a patient, the MedicationStatementt resource should be used.
MedicationStatement This is a record of medication being taken by a patient, or that the medication has been given to a patient where the record is the result of a report from the patient, or another clinician. A medication statement is not a part of the prescribe->dispense->administer sequence but is a report that such a sequence (or at least a part of it) did take place resulting in a belief that the patient has received a particular medication.
Free text dosage instructions can be used for cases where the instructions are too complex to code. The content of this attribute does not include the name or description of the medication. When coded instructions are present, the free text instructions may still be present for display to humans taking or administering the medication. It is expected that the text instructions will always be populated. If the dosage.timing attribute is also populated, then the dosage.text should reflect the same information as the timing.

Hello, For those that have chosen Las Caletas as your wedding location...can you actually have a legal ceremony there? I was reading on a website that specializes in weddings there that you can't actually legal get married there since it belongs to a different municipality. They stated that you would have to take care of that before you leave for Las Caletas…usually the morning of your ceremony. And then I read on another website that you can get legally married there. Which one is true? So can only have a ceremony with a minister? I'm confused! Please help me!

Montreal entrepreneurs targeted by 'anti-gentrification' attacks say benefits of new businesses are being ignored
Last month when a group of about 30 masked looters vandalized a high-end grocer and specialty food counter in Montreal's St-Henri neighbourhood, it brought widespread attention to the community in the city's southwest as a symbol of the clash between a blue-collar past and gentrifying present.

MONTREAL — Last month when a group of about 3 0 masked looters vandalized a high-end grocer and specialty food counter in Montreal's St-Henri neighbourhood, it brought widespread attention to the community in the city's southwest as a symbol of the clash between a blue-collar past and gentrifying present.
The area's entrepreneurs say what has been missing from the discussion is how much these small businesses are bringing to the community, instead focusing on rising rents and the influx of shops that offer some luxury products in this traditionally working class area.
Montreal entrepreneurs targeted by 'anti-gentrification' attacks say benefits of new businesses are being ignored Back to video
"I really wanted to be part of a neighbourhood story and be in a true mixed-use neighbourhood that had a lot of history in it, where rents and real estate were reasonable," said Ryan Bloom, who opened Rustique Pie Kitchen in 2013, the Urban Bonfire specialty barbecue store six months later and the Tejano BBQ Burrito the following year.
In recent years, businesses representing this new wave of so-called gentrification have had windows smashed, storefronts spray painted and merchandise stolen by unidentified individuals who left pamphlets saying they oppose the influx of condos and "multitude of expensive businesses … hipster restaurants and bourgeois grocery stores" that followed.
Residents of St-Henri once made a living at the factories that lined the nearby Lachine Canal in the southwest of the city. As with most North American cities, in the past few decades industry has moved to cheaper real estate away from downtown, if not overseas.
What was left was a relatively poor neighbourhood with no real commercial core. The lack of jobs kept rents low and even today about 50 per cent of people in the area live below the poverty line. "Before, it really was, frankly, a lot of dépanneurs (convenience stores) and massage parlours," Bloom said.
"Now, there is a greater mix because there are a lot more working families with children and they need the goods and services that go beyond what there has been over the past several decades."
Bloom, who used to work for real estate development firm Live Work Learn Play in economically depressed downtown districts across the U.S. and Canada, said the term gentrification carries negative connotations. "What somebody calls gentrification, somebody else calls growth and evolution," he said.
Sometimes decked out in gold chains and a velour tracksuit, local business owner Corey Shapiro has been made a poster boy for gentrification in the St-Henri because of his equally ostentatious enterprises. The 33 year old has five businesses including the Notorious barbershop which offers a $1,000 shave with a gold razor that is later dulled and turned into a keepsake necklace, as well as a $30 haircut.
"I've had people stop me on the street and say 'you're bourgeois.' I don't even know what that means," said Shapiro, in an interview in his office behind Vintage Frames, an eyewear store that's clients include Lady Gaga and Diddy, but also sells $100 glasses.
Shapiro started his first business in the area six years ago and said people regularly spit on his storefront windows, he has been attacked with pepper spray, and someone threw a smoke bomb into his Juicyy Lab juice bar on opening day.
Shapiro said although he doesn't feel threatened, he also doesn't feel supported by the municipality. For instance, it offered no assistance when he paid out of pocket for major structural repairs to one of his buildings. "Nobody speaks about how people stepped into an area and put up their money to actually make it safer," he said.
Bloom noted that businesses like his are bringing jobs to the neighbourhood, with 90 per cent of the employees walking to work. "We are employing the people who live in St-Henri, employing them well and giving them full-time, very good paying jobs and no one is talking about that."
Fred Burrill, who works with the housing rights organization POPIR-Comité Logement in St-Henri, has a different point of view. He said the high-end businesses moving into the neighbourhood are not what's best for the community. Instead, he proposes a new type of zoning for businesses or non-profit groups that cater to local needs.
"When there is a significant percentage of the population that is literally starving at the end of the month, to have the place where people could be purchasing healthy food at a reasonable price taken up by luxury products that people come to purchase in their Rolls Royces and BMWs — that is a form of economic violence," he said.
"I would say that (this view) is pro-community more than anti-business. There is place for business in the neighbourhood to be part of that pro-community vision."
Craig Sauvé, city councillor for St-Henri, said while he condemns the attacks on businesses, he believes gentrification is a problem in the neighbourhood. He added that small businesses are being pushed out of St-Henri when landlords have doubled or tripled the rent because not every entrepreneur is savvy enough to negotiate long-term leases.
We live in a free economy and a free society where ultimately what determines the success of a small business or a big box store is the consumer
"We're going to end up with Venice. Venice is a town where you can't find Venetians anymore," he said. "It's beautiful, but you totally destroy your urban fabric and it becomes Disneyland."
Sauvé hopes legislation can help control development across Montreal, such as the "Robin Hood" measures in Quebec City that reduce the tax burden on small businesses while demanding an additional tax contribution from larger companies.
"Of course we want to develop, of course we want our commercial streets to go well, but we can see the rapidity of the transformation and it's going all in one direction, it's not a balanced transformation and that's very problematic," he said.
Bloom contends even big box stores have a right to open shop if it's what people want. "We live in a free economy and a free society where ultimately what determines the success of a small business or a big box store is the consumer," he said.
Bloom and Shapiro said they are unable to debate with the anti-gentrification protestors because they don't even know who is behind it. There have not been any arrests for the attacks to date and no one has claimed responsibility. Both said they will keep running businesses they care about in a neighbourhood they love.
"Poverty isn't a joke, people feeling displaced isn't a joke, but people acting out, it's like a kid having a tantrum," Shapiro said.
"The whole thing is so ridiculous that it doesn't even faze us anymore."

Heaven, London - 13 October 2011
"If you've never seen them live, nothing can prepare you for it"
I'm surprised that Chris Corner's IAMX project are still playing such intimate venues here in their birthplace of England. On the one hand, it is perfect news for fans as we get to see him up close, in places of character and atmosphere rather than soulless corporate arenas. On the other hand, I wonder if Corner isn't a little disappointed he's not playing to larger audiences (in the UK at least). If it is, it doesn't show. He's comfortable enough not to have any support act this evening.
It's a clear sign that there's still a dearth of decent musical taste in the mainstream, as IAMX to me still display plenty of crossover potential yet, in the UK at least, there's no tangible signs that their next release will garner any more mass press attention that its predecessors. (I'm just so out of touch with the 'mainstream' though so even suggesting that might read as nonsense to others.) The audience at an IAMX gig are sharper dressed than your average crowd. Tonight a small contingent of screaming adolescent females who have followed (or dogged depending on your point of view) Corner's every stylish move, are vocal in their appreciation. Though, thankfully, not as many as there used to be. Perhaps they're just growing up.
IAMX live are astonishingly good, with Corner is the lynchpin. Whether he happens to be stomping up and down the front with a guitar, bashing away frantically on drums, or quietly playing keyboards at the back, he owns the stage and the audience. His heart-achingly beautiful voice is actually better live than in the studio recordings. That's because Corner feeds heavily from the energy a frenetic crowd gives back in response to his performances. A mutually beneficial feedback loop effect starts happening. As he memorably said when I first saw them in 2007 "You are the spirit of this fucking music!".
I'd count myself has a big fan even though I only own two studio albums. For me, IAMX, really is a live proposition. Sure, you need the studio recordings in order to make the former worthwhile and profitable. Corner couldn't function purely in the vacuum of a studio and its clear that he is most alive when performing on stage to adoring fans. And, boy, are they adoring. Corner engenders a rare sense of loyalty if not obsession in his followers. His moves are more limited than usual due to the foot injury but (having seen the film again recently) he reminds me of Cesare the somnambulist from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
The set that follows is another evening of near nirvana in the hands of Corner and his live band, which he has changed over time. (I do wonder if he is something of a control freak and perfectionist and that anyone not quite coming up to scratch doesn't get to stay around for long.) Each and every musician is a proper muso but also a distinctive character – which helps with a band as theatrical as IAMX. The guitarist Alberto Álvarez is perhaps the most unassuming. The female drummer Caroline Weber is all flailing arms and big hairdo, and up-front female Janine Gezang synth player is the complete glamrock works: outfit, performance, and exaggerated playing. All this happens in almost complete darkness with the light show restricted largely to strobes and the occasional focused beam for the full hour and fifty minute set. Whilst this makes spotting Corner through the stygian gloom difficult it also heightens the sense of drama and tangible thrill.
The set is a pretty broad spread across the four albums. From the back catalogue, Nightlife's thudding bassline the perfect live stomper, Think Of England emotionally draining both lyrically and musically (hairs literally stand up on the back of my neck at this point) and Tear Garden a beautifully cascading waterfall of a song. From the new album Volatile Times it is the title track that makes the strongest impression, but that may simply be because it is the song I'm most familiar with not yet having bought the fourth long-player.
It is the sheer visceral nature of IAMX live shows that really grabs you by the throat. Corner's voice does tend to polarise opinion, but for those who love it hearing it in all its full glory live is the only way to truly experience its full power, range and impact. It, indeed the whole IAMX live experience, is astonishing. In my view they really are one of the best live acts I have ever seen. They consistently deliver and their live versions of recorded material have a more pronounced, dangerous edge that is produced down in the studio. If you're remotely interested in IAMX or even a fan who has never seen them live then you simply have to so do. Nothing can prepare you for it and listening to their music will never be the same again. 9/10

Jim Hackett, CEO of Ford, has admitted that he has had to manage the company's expectations for self-driving cars, as he divulged that its first autonomous vehicles would be significantly limited in terms of their capabilities.
"We overestimated the arrival of autonomous vehicles," he said, and while Ford still plans to launch a self-driving fleet in 2021 "its applications will be narrow, what we call geo-fenced, because the problem is so complex".
Hackett's admission comes six months after Sherif Marakby, CEO of Ford's autonomous vehicles division, revealed the company's plan for autonomous vehicles in a Medium post and disclosed that the company would invest $4bn in the technology through to 2023. This included a $1bn investment in Argo AI, an AI company developing a virtual driver system.
"Ford has deep experience building durable vehicles that serve large commercial fleets in heavy-duty, high-mileage operations; the kinds of vehicles you'll want to outfit a self-driving vehicle business," wrote Marakby at the time. "The self-driving future requires that and more.
"So we are pulling together all the building blocks: our expertise as a global vehicle manufacturer, Argo AI's work to develop state-of-the-art self-driving technology, our quickly advancing fleet management capabilities, routing systems and cloud services and the partner networks needed to successfully run an autonomous business," he added.
However, Hackett's comments show that the company misjudged the difficulties it would come across when it came to mass-deployment of its fleets.
Ford is not the only company that has run into complications after promising it would soon deliver a fleet of autonomous vehicles. Uber revealed this week that its self-driving cards will require a longer wait than expected, while Google's Waymo has yet to expand beyond a select few, geo-fenced areas in Pheonix, Arizona.

Agricultural land values in Swift County starting to fall
Submitted by admin on July 3, 2019 - 10:23am
By Reed Anfinson
Swift County Monitor-News
"This was the first year in a number of years that we did lower our ag values in the county," retiring Swift County Assessor Wayne Knutson told the Swift County Board of Commissioners at their June 18 meeting.
"It amounted to about 5 percent," he said of the overall lowering of agricultural land values. "I didn't lower every township the same. There were four townships that I didn't make any changes to. There were 12 townships that were lowered about 5 percent on the tillable value. And there were four townships that I lowered about 7 percent on their tillable value."
Seven years of strong commodity prices pushed agricultural land sales recorded levels by 2013 with the sales values reflected in ever-higher market values for local taxes. Despite falling prices, sales of farmland remained strong in some areas for several more years.
In 2013, Dublin Township saw the value of an acre of land jump $1,201 to $8,244 from $7,043 in 2012. By 2015 it was up to $8,652. For 2019, its value has fallen to $7,397, a decrease of $1,225 an acre, or 14.5 percent, since 2015.
Since this peak land value years around 2015, Cashel Township has seen the largest drop in land values going from $7,952 a tillable acre to $6,420 an acre, a drop of $1,532, the most of any of the 21 townships in the county. Hegbert Township saw its tillable acre value drop from $6,578 to $5,310 an acre, a drop of $1,268 an acre, or 19.3 percent.
One township saw an increase in its value between 2015 and 2019, but that increase is only worth noting in that it wasn't a decrease. Its value went up $2, from $4,269 to $4,271.
The average drop in tillable acre value across the 21 county townships was $730 over the past four years with it dropping from $6,138 to $5,408, a decline of 11.9 percent.
The average value of an acre of tillable farmland in the county dropped $221 between 2018 and 2019, a decline of 4.1 percent. The average value of a tillable acre went from $5,629 last year to $5,408 this year...

The Escape Line
The Traitors Part 1
Prosper Dezitter
Evasion lines in Europe during World War 2 were constantly at risk from infiltration by the enemy posing as resistance fighters or Allied airmen. The airman featured in my book was told after his identity had been confirmed by radio transmission from London that he would have been taken outside and shot if details had not been substantiated.
In 1943, Comete evader Sergeant George Duffee 78 Squadron RAF was interrogated by the local Dutch resistance at gunpoint. 'They asked me the sorts of questions that I couldn't answer – like what's the latest show in London…I didn't know, I was based in Yorkshire. ID tags? I left them at home…you can't believe it now, but they did just actually take people outside and shoot them. So they took a vote. I won by one vote' (the vote belonged to a Dutch school teacher he met after 5 days alone on the run) 'He said lets give him a chance.'
The most dangerous and ruthless organisation was the Geheim Staat Polizei or Gestapo. Along with the Abwehr (former German army intelligence organisation) who adopted more humane interrogation practices, they battled constantly to break the escape lines.
As the war developed, both sides learned from their mistakes. The Germans used any means possible to try and infiltrate the lines or obtain intelligence. They also increased controls at border points, established Atlantic zone lines and restrictions in other key areas. An identity card and Ausweiss (work permit) were essential for personnel and specific travel documents were compulsory for certain areas. To counter this, the escape organisations looked for ways and diversions around these difficulties, forging papers and recruiting volunteers 'on the inside' in the gendarme and customs services to help them. It became a separate 'war within a war' with high stakes. One arrest could lead to a domino effect where information was surrendered under interrogation, more arrests were then made revealing further information and a major collapse of the line was under way.
Often the enemy would penetrate evasion lines with agents posing as airmen and using documents taken from captured aircrew. These infiltrators would usually be German, excellent English speakers with a background of living in Britain or America for a sustained period. This tactic resulted in escape organisations tightening their questioning to include more detailed personal information which would often be verified by radio transmission and also slang and specifics that only a genuine Allied airman would know.
More difficult to detect were traitors from the Allied occupied countries, or even Great Britain and USA. It is difficult to step back and view these individual's actions without feeling revulsion and contempt as they were often motivated by money, although some did it under the loose umbrella of politics, others for extra food rations, or to be freed from prison sentences still being served when occupation began. A few were nobodies who craved for fame and attention, and some had been discovered working against the Nazis and were turned by the Gestapo with various levers being applied including threats and actions against family.
The most successful infiltrators all had the same strengths, a good memory, an ability to act a part, to lie with conviction and think on their feet. Arguably the most notorious traitor operating largely in Belgium was Prosper Dezitter. Born in Paschendale, he fled to Canada in May 1913 at age 19 after being convicted for rape and sentenced to three years imprisonment. He married an English girl in Winnipeg but returned to Belgium at the end of 1926. More prison sentences followed for marriage fraud and embezzlement and it is possible that once Belgium was occupied by the Nazis in May 1940 he was released from prison by the Nazis and began working for them.
From the beginning he operated with his mistress Florie Dings and managed to infiltrate groups who were helping Allied soldiers and airmen. Dezitter would pass on information to the enemy leading to evaders and escape line personnel being arrested, only to show up again in another location using another alias or disguise.
Initially he posed as an English or Canadian airman 'Jack Kilanine' or 'Jack the Canadian', William Herbert Call (a Londoner), or 'Williams.' A number of evaders were warned about him by the resistance including the airman in my book. Dezitter may have been a master of aliases and bluff but he had one clear identifying feature, the top part of the little finger on his right hand was missing. He tried to mask this on occasions by wearing gloves.
In July and August 1943 Dezitter was running a "safe" house (an apartment at Avenue Slegers) and fake escape line in Brussels. He had established connections with resistance/escape organizations in Holland and also other parts of Belgium outside of Brussels. Once he learned of an evader in hiding Florie Dings and an accomplice would drive out of Brussels to collect the airmen or they would meet them at Brussels Gare Midi station in a large black car. The evaders would then be driven to the 'safe' house. Dezitter often operated this deception under the name of 'The Captain' or 'Captain Jackson', with Dings introducing herself as 'The Captain's Secretary.'
Evaders were later taken to Gare du Midi and travelled to Paris where they were arrested by the Gestapo as they left the station. Later the operation was moved to another apartment house but the sequence of events remained the same and numerous airmen were led into Gestapo traps in Brussels and Paris. Dezitter also operated in the Ghent area in 1943 as 'Captain Willy.'
He had become such a problem to the Allies, that his description appeared in Belgian underground newspapers and in the summer of 1943 he was one of the top names on an assassination list drawn up by SOE Belgian Section's Hardy Amies (the well known fashion designer.) Codenamed operation Rat Week the plan was to use agents to eliminate selected traitors with Welrod silenced pistols. The exiled Belgian government in London would not agree to it on grounds that any execution without trial was unacceptable and that if Dezitter was that bad, their own resistance would deal with him. The campaign was aborted allowing the deceptions to continue. Either the Belgian government had totally underestimated him or there was a more significant underlying reason.
His time in the English speaking world gave Dezitter a good grasp of the language and as a native of Belgium he was ideally placed. Constantly fooling the escape lines, resistance and evaders, he could disappear then resurface in another area to wreak havoc again. Many of the airmen would be easy prey; they were just young men desperate to get home where the opportunity of an organised journey to freedom was their only chance. Others were suspicious, but still went along with the plan.
Over 70 RAF aircrew along with numerous USAAF flyers were led into Gestapo traps from the safe houses in Brussels. These figures exclude those evading aircrew from other areas of Belgium, British soldiers left in occupied territories after the fall of the Low Countries/France in 1940, plus the Belgian helpers and agents etc he betrayed. The total traced back to Dezitter's handiwork runs into hundreds.
After the war ended, Dezitter and Dings were arrested in Wurzburg Germany whilst being hidden by a German resistance movement and were brought back to Brussels. They were tried and found guilty. Dezitter was executed by firing squad on the 17th September 1948.
More next week on the traitors and the author's views.

That is so interesting. It is amazing what motivates people, even when we think their actions are wrong, it still takes courage.
I love reading your pieces.
Keith 2 June 2012 at 10:32
Thanks Sally. At times it is difficult for me to take a step back and write about this subject with a balanced overview, because I'm so close to it. Writing the book which is almost complete now has taken me through the whole range of human emotions. War is a dirty business and it makes ordinary people do extraordinary things; good and bad. Who would have thought Hardy Amies was involved with SOE Belgian Section. This only came to light recently following the release of documents held in the National Archives. After the war when he was quizzed about his involvement with SOE, he simply replied 'Sorry old man - don't know anything about it.'
Maria 2 June 2012 at 17:58
I often wonder what motivates people, but then I expect it all comes down to whose side you choose to take. Threats against family would be high on anyone's list I imagine.
Has Dezitter's story been made into a film do you know? Or has one been based upon it?
To my knowledge there has been nothing on DeZitter specifically in actual feature films (English or foreign), but there have been 'fictional' dramas and films that are clearly based on the escape lines, especially Comete e.g. Secret Army. The Yesterday Channel's 'Secret War' series devoted a whole 1 hour episode to SOE Belgium Section, Hardy Amies, DeZitter and the aborted 'Operation Ratweek'. Some of my E & E friends were involved with providing information for the making of that programme.

The full range of treachery and collaboration perpetrated by Britons during WW2 was well documented in a book by Sean Murphy called 'Letting The Side Down'. Lord Haw Haw-aka William Joyce who was actually American was executed by hanging by Albert Pierrepoint and afterwards a few men in the crowd outside were seen to do a Hitler salute albeit not as overtly as they would have wished... John Amery the son of H. Leopold Amery a member of Churchill's wartime cabinet, was also hung. A national newspaper said,'Moments before the white hood of a condemned man was placed over his head, John Amery, a Second World War traitor, turned to his besuited executioner holding the noose and said: "I've always wanted to meet you Mr Pierrepoint. But not, of course, under these circumstances."' I'm not sure I believe that a person under such stress would be so calm but that was the story told at the time. PG Wodehouse had made some ill-advised broadcasts for his American fans, but this was regarded as simply naïve rather than malicious. He was denied a Knighthood until his demise in 1975. There were around 200 Britons who collaborated with the Reich in WW2 which excludes the Channel Islands-the only British soil to come under German occupation.
The airman's escape in your book was even more remarkable given the background to treachery you have posted here and that Dezitter our anti-hero was operating at that time.(Negotiating a cobweb of delicate strands which could have been blown away at any time.) A matter of luck or judgement, circumstance and behaviors. Why one saved and another not? The eternal question. In 'Les Miserables' in the famous song about lost comrades Marius sings "My friends, my friends forgive me,that I live and you are gone". Also, "here they talked of revolution, here it was they lit the flame, here they sang about tomorrow, but tomorrow never came…" French revolution but still ringing true in WW2. Our featured traitor here was shot. His reasons for his actions may have gone with him. Jesus was supposed to have said on the cross in translation, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do". However Dezitter knew exactly what he was doing. Another riveting blog, Keith, to be commended and I look forward to Part Two.
Thanks for your comments Helen. The more I research this theatre of war, the more dark and misty the waters become. Dezitter's actions were motivated by money, but he was acting out a part in one great play -deception. I remain convinced that there was a bigger picture to some of this. I wonder what is contained in the SOE files that are still sealed.

Automate This: How Algorithms Came to Rule Our World is a book written by Christopher Steiner  and published by Penguin Group. Steiner begins his study of algorithms on Wall Street in the 1980s  but also provides examples from other industries.  For example, he explains the history of Pandora Radio and the use of algorithms in music identification.  He expresses concern that such use of algorithms may lead to the homogenization of music over time. Steiner also discusses the algorithms that eLoyalty (now owned by Mattersight Corporation following divestiture of the technology) was created by dissecting 2 million speech patterns and can now identify a caller's personality style and direct the caller with a compatible customer support representative.

Steiner's book shares both the warning and the opportunity that algorithms bring to just about every industry in the world, and the pros and cons of the societal impact of automation (e.g. impact on employment).

This week was pretty great. The other team here in Galway had a baptism! They baptised a super cool teenager from Malawi. We got to go see him be baptised down in Limerick. It was a great service and a lot of the branch was able to travel out to see the service. We taught a few new people and they were great. I led the music at the baptism, I think I found my calling in life.
Funny story... Yesterday before church I gave Elder Blosil the phone, and we went to church. We were going to meet some people at the Bus stop by the church and he thought he left the phone in his jacket at the church. After church he checked his jacket and the phone wasn't there. So we went throughout the day thinking we left it back at the apartment.
That night we had the other elders call it and we heard nothing... This morning we went to the church to look for it and we called it again and someone answered it! It was a really nice lady who had found it and picked it up. We went to her house and got it. Haha my miracle of the day.
I was also asked to speak this Sunday on Forgiveness, I am excited to have something specific to study for this week!
I love you all and hope you are great.

Q: Getting URL Variables with a Rewritten Page (Login Page) As part of a larger project, I am attempting all login activity to occur at the following address:
www.url.com/login
So, a link that should lead to a form that would allow a user to reset their password would be found at the following:
www.url.com/login?action=lostpassword
However, the wp-login.php is not reading this correctly, and when I go to the above address, I get the normal log-in form.
This is how I have it set up:
add_action( 'init', 'add_virtual_page_template' );
function add_virtual_page_template()
{
    global $wp, $wp_rewrite;

    $wp->add_query_var( 'template' );

    add_rewrite_endpoint( 'login', EP_PERMALINK | EP_PAGES );
    add_rewrite_rule( 'login/?', 'index.php?template=login', 'top' );

    add_rewrite_rule( 'login/?', 'index.php?template=login', 'top' );

    $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'add_virtual_page_redirect' );
function add_virtual_page_redirect()
{
    global $wp;

    $queryvar = get_query_var('template');

    if ($queryvar && $queryvar == 'login')
    {
        include(site_url('wp-login.php'));
        exit();
    }

    if ($queryvar == 'mylogin')
    {
        include( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/page-login.php' );
        exit();
    }
}

What am I missing?

A: If you want instead of redirect to wp-login the user redirect to login page then use the following code. It will redirect user to login page where login form is present.
add_filter('site_url',  'wplogin_filter', 10, 3);
function wplogin_filter( $url, $path, $orig_scheme ){
    $old = array( "/(wp-login\.php)/");
    $new = array( "login/");
    return preg_replace( $old, $new, $url, 1);
}

add_action('init','possibly_redirect');
function possibly_redirect(){
    global $pagenow;
    if( 'wp-login.php' == $pagenow ){
        wp_redirect(site_url( $path = 'login'));
    exit();
    }
}

In login form ckeck the value of action. For login use wp_signon() function.
if(!isset($_REQUEST['action'])) { ?>

Login with the Email
        <form id="login-form" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?>" method="post">

              User Name

                <input type="text" name="user_name" id="user_name" placeholder="Enter your username">

              Password

                <input type="password" name="password" id="password" placeholder="Enter password">

                <a href="<?php echo site_url('login/?action=lostpassword') ?> "> Forgot Your Password ?

              <input type="submit" name="submit" id="login-submit" value="Login">

        </form>
<?php
}

For lost password. Create form in the same login page
if(isset($_REQUEST['action']) && 'lostpassword'== $_REQUEST['action'])
{
  ?>

Enter your username or email to reset your password.

   <form method="post" action="<?php echo site_url('login/?action=tg_pwd_reset') ?>" class="wp-user-form">

      Username or Email :
      <input type="text" name="user_login" value="" size="20" id="user_login" />
      <?php toolTip('user_login', 'Username');?>

« The Duxford Air Show Celebrates the Spitfire in Style
Charity offers opportunity to win a flight in formation with a Spitfire »
Fokker triplane to invoke memories of infamous Red Baron at airshow
An aircraft identical to that flown by the infamous ace German fighter pilot the Red Baron is set to thrill crowds at the Battle of Britain Airshow.The Baron, real name Manfred von Richtofen, was the scourge of allied forces during the First World War and is credited with 80 combat victories.
The last 20 of those aerial duels were carried out in a Fokker Dr.1 Dreidecker triplane, and a replica of the machine will take to the skies at the airshow, which takes place at Cotswold Airport on September 17 and 18.
It will be joined by an old adversary in the Sopwith triplane, as well as iconic aircraft from the Second World War, such as the Spitfires and Lancaster of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF).
Richthofen was eventually shot down and killed near Amiens, France, on April 21, 1918, but his legend has lived on and his aerial prowess has been the subject of numerous films, books and documentaries.
Event operations manager Glen Moreman said: "Although the event clearly commemorates the Battle of Britain, it will be fantastic to see two amazing aircraft from an even earlier era in the skies above the Cotswolds.
"The Red Baron is undoubtedly one of the most famous pilots in history and we're sure the display of an aircraft identical to the one he flew will really capture the imagination."
In addition to the triplanes and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the Tiger Nine Tiger Moth display team, the RedHawks aerobatic duo, and the South Cerney-based Renegades parachute team will be among the star attractions.
An AN2 and Bucker Jungmeister, will also take to the skies.
Meanwhile, crowds will also be offered the chance to fly in a vintage airliner, courtesy of Classic Flight and its stunning de Havilland Dragon Rapide.
Cotswold Airport-based HH Helicopters will be offering pleasure flights too.
Unlike previous years, when the event was a pure airshow, the 2011 event will also feature a traditional fair, complete with carousel, helter skelter and other rides.
There will also be more than 100 classic vehicles, including around 40 vintage Bentleys, and around 50 military vehicles on display.
Organisers are also inviting local traders to become more involved and use the show to showcase their products and services and create a shopping area featuring the best of local produce.
Event director Suzannah Harvey said: "We're delighted that more local businesses will be involved this year and showing exactly what the Cotswolds has to offer.
"Of course, the more the merrier, and if anyone still wishes to take part, we would be delighted to hear from them."
Tickets for the event are priced at £15, with children 16 and under admitted free.
They are available online through the air show website (www.battleofbritainairshow.com); at The Crown public house, West Market Place, Cirencester; Kemble Village Shop; from the following Tourist Information Centres: Cheltenham, Chippenham, Cirencester, Corsham, Malmesbury, Stroud, Swindon, Tetbury, Warminster, Bath, Bourton-on-the-Water, Melksham, Trowbridge, Gloucester, Tewkesbury; and also by telephoning 08712 301 079.
Local traders are also being offered heavily discounted rates for showground pitches.
For more information on trade stand rates, contact Suzannah Harvey at suzannah@cotswoldairport.com.

Al Jib and the Wall
Contributed by Jerusalem Quarterly on 20.06.2008:
Why Are Those Men in Black Camping Near the Wall?
Penny Johnson
Jerusalem Quarterly
Issue 33 Winter edition, 2007
http://www.jerusalemquarterly.org/details.php?cat=1&id=244
An Israeli 'archeological dig' along the path of the wall in al-Jib in the West Bank. Al-Jib is the site of 7th-8th century wine cellars and has been identified as the Biblical 'Gibeon' through Hebrew inscriptions found by James Pritchard in 1956. The modern village is home to some 5,000 Palestinians who will be encircled by the wall Israel is building through the West Bank.
Two colleagues on an early autumn walknear Bir Nabala, a Jerusalem-area villagenow cut off from Jerusalem by the WallIsrael is constructing through the WestBank, asked themselves this question andwondered whether to investigate. Despitethe looming presence of the Wall, theirwalk had been pleasant. A Palestinian mantending his orchard had provided a bag ofpomegranates; workers at a stone quarryinvited them for tea and told stories of their problems of living in Hebron and workingnear Ramallah–the 'absence of movement' tales that often dominate Palestinian interchange.
Our colleagues, a sociologist and ananthropologist, always have theirinvestigative antenna out, so the Men inBlack had likewise to be interrogated. They were forthcoming but the informationthey gave was disturbing: they announcedthemselves Druze police attached to theIsraeli army and charged with guarding atemporary archaeological 'dig' along the course of the Wall. "It's all ours," they explained, waving their hands over the land andwhat lay beneath it. 1
When the Men in Black declared "It's all ours," they were in violation of international law (particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention) but nonetheless operating within thebounds of a certain kind of Israeli legality. In an important new book, Eyal Weizman points out that "on the same day that Arab Jerusalem and the area around it was annexed to Israel, the Israeli government declared the archaeological and historicalsites in the West Bank, primarily those of Jewish or Israelite cultural relevance, to be the state's 'national and cultural property', amounting to de facto annexation of the ground beneath the Occupied Territories, making it the first zone to be colonized."2
The manner in which Israeli law undergirds illegal activity in this colonized zone–and the destruction of the non-renewable resource of the cultural heritage of Palestine–concerns a number of authors in this special issue of Jerusalem Quarterly. New opportunities for archaeological looting provided by the construction of the Wall are carried out by agents of the Israeli state, and accompany the "matrix of control" (Jeff Halper's phrase) represented by the Wall. Similarly, the construction of Road 6, whose north-south course also produces more annexation of West Bank land, was accompanied by Israeli 'salvage archaeology' that yielded a range of "material objects…sherds and ceramics and an extensive cemetery…variously attributed to periods ranging from the Iron Age, Persian, Hellenistic and Early Roman to late Byzantine." 3
In his article in this volume, Adel Yahya notes that about 1,500 archaeological sites are isolated between the Wall (in its western course) and the Green Line, including over 250 'high potential' sites–a tempting array indeed for Israel's 'salvage' operations. These state operations are joined on the other side of the Wall by what Adel Yahya calls Palestinian 'subsistence looters', driven by poverty and enabled by the lackof Palestinian security and enforcement. Palestinians "looting in their backyard"are integrated into Israel's 'legal' market of antiquities, where Yahya estimates they receive perhaps 1% of the value of the objects they offer.
Like Morag Kersel in this volume, Yahya opposes the legal trade in antiquities–both in Israel and Palestine–as a course that leads both to illegal looting and the destructionof a cultural heritage that belongs to all. Kersel offers a carefully-considered review of "the historical antecedents, the current practice, and the future initiatives" of culturalheritage law and the trade in antiquities, including Ottoman, Mandate and currentIsraeli legislation. While noting the inequities in the interim (Oslo) agreements, where Palestine is obligated to safeguard archaeological sites but there is no Israelireciprocity, Kersel examines the Palestinian Draft Cultural and Natural Heritage Law 2003 and cautions that confirming a legal trade in antiquities may further endanger aheritage already in peril. The Jerusalem Quarterly would welcome interventions on this critical question from its readers.
The looting and loss of Palestinian cultural and other property in 1948 is examinedin several contributions to this volume. In an illuminating piece, Gish Amit relates the 'untold story' of the fate of Palestinian libraries and books 'abandoned' in 1948 (and their depository in Israel's national library), making the important point that "occupation and colonization does not end in taking over physical space. They achieve their fulfillment by occupying cultural space as well, and by turning the culturalartefacts of the victims into ownerless objects with no past." Amit implicitly raises an important question that has not been fully addressed by concerned Palestinians:how to re-claim these objects, not simply physically as property, but also culturally as embodiments of patrimony. In a helpful review of the right of Palestinians to reparations for lost property inside Israel, legal expert Leila Hilal points out that"the fate of Palestinian properties inside Israel has often times been neglected forthe issue of the right of return," but that the right of return and restitution are in fact,independent rights and that therefore, delving into issues of restitution does not forgo the right of return.
Reviews of two books address new scholarship on the 1948 war and its aftermath,as well as the destruction of cultural and other property. Raja Shehadeh reviews Ilan Pappe's crucial new investigation of Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in 1948, while Roger Heacock critiques the uneasy mixture of revelation and justificationin Raz Ketter's Just Past? The Making of Israeli Archaeology. Ketter, a long-time employee of the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA), uses IAA archives to document the Israeli army's vast swath of destruction of archaeological, historical and other cultural sites not only during the 1948 war but for years afterwards, while largely defending the role of the IAA itself. Aside from the historical evidence, the recent approval of the IAA to allow construction of a Museum of Tolerance on the site of an ancient Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem's Mamilla district raises questions about how professionalism and commitment to preservation of cultural heritage operates in thatstate institution.
A scholar who offered an alternative, pioneering and carefully-researched view of the history and role of Israeli archaeology in her 2001 book4–Barnard professor NadiaAbu El-Haj–was subjected last year not to an academic critique, but to a right-wingcampaign to deny her tenure, orchestrated by a Barnard alum who lives on an Israelisettlement. That the crass campaign met with failure is of some comfort amidst the many-pronged assaults on academic freedom (particularly of scholars on the MiddleEast) that has cast a pall on American campus life.
Other forms of silencing in our context are even more direct. On the occasion ofthe 40th anniversary of Jerusalem's occupation (and illegal annexation), the Israeli Ministry of Interior prevented a conference on the subject, affixing a sign to the entrance of the hotel where the conference was scheduled that read: "According to the law applied in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip of 1995, which organizes activities, we order not to hold this conference in this hotel or anywhere else in the borders ofthe state of Israel." Once again, a version of the law (this time the interim accords of1995!) is cited in the banning of expression or, in the idiom of this issue, the looting of cultural expression and historical truth. In addition to their specific interventions,we hope this issue makes a modest contribution to opening subjects that have eenforcibly closed.

Hot summer weather. And cold beer. Goes well together don't you think? I must be mentally trying to keep the summer alive with today's post, reflecting on my July visit to the east coast of the US.
As an escape from the humid heat that was still blanketing the city even in the late afternoon, a group of us ducked into the nearest, air conditioned gastropub for a quick hit before our dinner plans. As we were expecting some vehicles to pick us up, we had plenty of time to kill. And with the drivers taken care of, a license to drink as well. The formula for a good start to the night!
Nope, not the opening line of some tacky joke but what happened on my summertime visit to the Churchkey gastropub in the funky neighborhood of Logan Circle, that I grew to love during my time in America's capital city. In desperate need of some shelter from the sweltering heat, along with some food and liquid sustenance, the four of us ducked into this two floor establishment well before the big rush of customers came not too long after the sun went down.
The burly fellow who was checking ID's at the door gruffly noted they didn't have a happy hour (or at least when we entered). Alas, that didn't stop our crew from going inside, as one member had heard this place had a wicked beer selection. Now if you've been following along lately, you'll probably remember that I've cut back my consumption of this popular adult summer season liquid, but this day was an exception. Why is it that the hotter the weather, the stronger my craving for ice cold beer becomes?
As I am sure many of you are aware, the northeastern States have endured quite a few battles with Mother Nature this summer – including some blistering hot heat waves, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake, and Hurricane Irene. Fortunate for me, I was only around for one of those events and managed to get safely in and out of the nation's capital, and enjoyed some good eating along the way. While this will be a pictureless-post due to my not wanting to whip out my cell phone during this particular meal, I still wanted to put some thoughts down and share my experience at Zaytinya, which offers Turkish, Greek and Lebanese cuisine.
Mediterranean cooking is not something I indulge in a great deal but when I do, I am always pleasantly surprised by the boldness of flavors that can be captured by a talented kitchen. In the case of Zaytinya, their celebrated chef is José Andrés, recently named this past spring as an "Outstanding Chef" by the James Beard Foundation at their annual awards gala in New York City. The restaurant is clearly on the popular destination list by locals and visitors alike. Without a proper reservation, we had to wait a little while at the bar (where you can still get food), before a table opened up for us later in the night.
Fogo de Chão is a well known Brazilian churrascaria restaurant chain that offers the unique experience of Latin steakhouse plus full table-side service all in a high end environment. It has successfully established a beachhead in the United States over the past decade, including this beautiful location in the US capital, situated just several blocks away from the White House grounds. This was perhaps the only pre-planned dinner I had on this trip (actually organized by another person). The rest were all ad-hoc due to lack of time and I might add, interest.
It actually occupies a good chunk of the first floor of an impressive structure, better known as the Evening Star Building, which is listed in the National Register as a Historic Landmark. When you see if during the height of the day, the building is impressive to even the non-architect with its classic French design and clean lines carved through the marble. Doing some background research after the fact, I've learned it was originally constructed in 1898 and was the home to a newspaper (not surprisingly, called the Evening Star).
Some places and food just go together. As a lifelong baseball fan, for me, this sport is all about hot dogs. Its part of the experience of seeing MLB games live. Strangely enough, having been through enough pork processing plants in my lifetime and gaining a full view into what goes into hot dogs, you would think I'd stay away from them. Alas, I can't when it comes to watching America's favorite pastime. This isn't even limited to the outdoor environment, as if there is a game on in the bar, I'll look to see if there are any 'dogs in the house. Yup, I'm predictable that way.
For those fans of the sport, you'll know that Canada lost one of its top professional teams to the Americans. The glorious Montreal Expos franchise that gave birth to so many amazing players has relocated to Washington, DC. The Nats as they are affectionately called are a fairly forgettable bunch, without a winning season in six years of their new existence. I wondered when I came across this sports bar within this massive hotel facility, if it was tied to the franchise (I did see a logo on the front glass), given its name. Its a little mixed, as I did see a lot of football paraphernalia adorning the room, including a pretty cool display case with helmets from all of the NFL clubs. Looking for a quick bite to eat and to catch a glimpse of whatever sports game was on the gigantic screens that covered on side of the room, we were quickly seated by a slightly unenthusiastic hostess at one of the high tables in the middle of the floor. A prompt order of some non-alcoholic beverages – since we were on the clock – and so began our lunch.

Q: How to solve this minimal js code issue? My inputs are: an array of object names and objects. I want to loop through the array for object name and then output something from corresponding object. My code is as follows:
    options=["bold","italic"] ;

    var bold ={
            action: function(){
                alert("just bold");
            },
            b_p: "-40px bold"
     };

    var italic ={
            action: function(){
                alert("an italic");
            },
            b_p: "-20px italic"
     };

     for(i=0;i<options.length;++i)
     {
         document.write(options[i].b_p);
     }

My desired output: "-40px bold -20px italic" but I get an error saying: "undefined undefined".
Please help me to find out my mistake/ignorance here.
Thanks.
/******/
Update: the problem is solved below :-) Thanks communtiy

A: Instead of passing the names, pass an object array:
var bold = {
            action: function(){
                alert("just bold");
            },
            b_p: "-40px bold"
};

var italic = {
            action: function(){
                alert("an italic");
            },
            b_p: "-20px italic"
};

var options = [ bold, italic ]; // symbols, not strings

for(var i=0;i<options.length;++i)
{
         document.write(options[i].b_p);
}

Nothing else would really need to change.

A: A few problems here:
options=["bold","italic"] ;
should be options=[bold,italic];
and should be after the declaration of the bold and italic vars
Also, for(i=0;i<options.length;++i) should be for(i=0;i<options.length;i++) (note the post-increment instead of a pre-increment)
So to sum it up:
var bold ={
        action: function(){
            alert("just bold");
        },
        b_p: "-40px bold"
 };

var italic ={
        action: function(){
            alert("an italic");
        },
        b_p: "-20px italic"
 };

 var options=[bold,italic];

 for(i=0;i<options.length;i++)
 {
     document.write(options[i].b_p);
 }

A: Here is a much more cleaner approach:
var options = {
    "bold": {
        "action": "just bold",
        "b_p": "-40px bold"
    },

    "italic": {
        "action": "an italic",
        "b_p": "-20px italic"
    }
};

for (var i in options) {
    document.write(options[i]["b_p"] + "
")
}

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/sea2d/
If you wanted to alert your action, you could just use:
alert(options["bold"]["action"]);

India is more urban than the official numbers suggest. If thresholds for the categorisation of cities are relaxed, India moves from about a quarter urban to about a half and even more.
Low rental yields and obstacles to eviction mean that 11.1 million urban houses in India are left vacant.

Radio and Television Report to the American People on the NATO Conference in Paris.
[Delivered from the President's office at 8:30 p.m. ]
Good evening, my friends:
For the fifth time within the past five years, the Secretary of State and I have, together, returned to Washington after international conferences on foreign soil. This time we have just come from a Paris meeting with Heads of Government of the 14 other NATO nations.
In addition to the scheduled NATO meetings last week, I had individual conferences with most of the Heads of Government. In these more was involved than mere expressions of mutual good will. In each, the purpose was to discuss frankly our viewpoints about problems of common interest--to remove obstacles to mutual understanding.
In the debates of the full Conference there were thoroughly discussed specific problems of every conceivable nature, so as to eliminate deficiencies in our collective arrangements.
It was an inspiring experience to watch, in these meetings, common policies take shape affecting the great questions of peace, security and unity. Planning for carrying into effect these policies was likewise necessary. In this work, all of us found a special advantage, which came out of the bringing together of Heads of Government. In this way there was placed behind NATO's future programs the authority and influence which these leaders hold.
There was one basic purpose implicit in every discussion and debate of the Conference. That was the pursuit of a just peace.
Not once during the week did I hear any slightest hint of sabre rattling or of aggressive intent. of course, all of us were concerned with developing the necessary spiritual, economic and military strength of our defensive alliance. We are determined that there must be no war. But we never lost sight of our hope that the men in the Kremlin would themselves come to understand their own need for peace--as well as our sincerity in desiring a just composition of differences between West and East.
At the end, the Conference unanimously adopted a declaration of principles to guide future NATO efforts and plans. Measures were adopted for effective scientific and economic cooperation and coordination. We arranged for procedures to insure timely and close political consultation among ourselves, with respect to any problem that might arise.
A large list of other matters engaged our attention.
To discuss a few of these in some detail, I have asked the Secretary of State to make a brief report, as well as to give now some of his reactions and impressions of the Conference.
[At this point Secretary Dulles discussed measures adopted at the NATO Conference and gave some of his impressions of the meetings. The President then resumed speaking.]
On the way back from Paris, Secretary Dulles briefly visited in Spain. He conferred with General Franco and others in the Spanish government. I know you would like him to give you a summary of that visit.
[At this point Secretary Dulles gave an account of his three-hour talk with General Franco. The President then resumed speaking.]
To summarize: The Heads of the NATO governments and their associates labored earnestly during the week, to continue the strengthening of our common security. We all realize that adequate free world strength--moral, economic and military strength--is, under present circumstances, our most effective deterrent to war. Moreover, it provides the basis for our best hope for progressive disarmament and improved understanding between East and West.
Every American shares this hope with our NATO partners. Beyond any doubt we all are prepared to make any necessary sacrifice to sustain and advance that hope.
At the end of the Conference, I expressed once more, as I have so often before, a constant readiness on the part of Secretary Dulles and myself personally to make any conceivable effort that might realistically help to reduce world tensions.
Unfortunately, the attitude of the Soviets toward the free world has, for years, alternated between threat and blandishment. Their words, their pretensions, their actions, have all failed to inspire confidence in free men.
To bring about such an easing of tension, we believe that clear evidence of Communist integrity and sincerity in negotiations and in action is all that is required.
Only with such evidence of integrity and sincerity, and with the spirit of conciliation on both sides, can there be achieved a definite beginning of progress toward universal security and peace, which the world so earnestly seeks.
For no nation, for no individual among us, could there be a finer Christmas present, nor a better New Year.

I am doing a project related to the locksmith industry. It would be great to hear responses on this question.
Usually, at least in the small business world, they charge by the hour, and a higher rate on nights and weekends.

Is it becoming more difficult for Dad to take proper care of his yard or bend over to take the laundry out of the dryer? Does it seem like too much effort some days for him to cook or take care of basic housework? Does he bathe less often because he is worried about slipping and falling in the shower when alone?
Maybe your mom has experienced a small stroke. She is about to be discharged from the hospital and wants to return home. But she needs speech therapy, physical therapy and help with eating and transferring from bed to chair. She shouldn't be alone for the first few weeks.
These are familiar scenarios faced by thousands of American families every day. If you're not familiar with eldercare options and how to help an aging loved one, chances are you will be in the future! Today, 40 percent of Americans are already involved to some degree in the care of an elderly person. And when older adults prefer to stay in their own homes rather than move to a nursing home or other senior living facility, home care can be a real life saver for the older adult and family caregivers alike.
Personal care attendants and home health aides are trained to provide custodial and personal care, such as helping with activities of daily living (e.g., dressing, bathing, getting in and out of bed, and assistance with using the bathroom). They can also provide medication reminders, run errands, prepare meals for the patient, and do light housekeeping tasks.
Certified Home Health Aides/Certified Nursing Aides (HHAs, CNAs or NACs) are health aides who have received more specialized training. The training requirement varies from state to state. In addition to personal care, CNAs can perform simple medical procedures such as taking temperatures, changing dressings, and in some states can administer medications under a nurses oversight.
Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) provide skilled medical services beyond those that home health aides offer. Nurses can conduct an assessment to determine the care needed and monitor the patient's condition. They perform hands-on procedures such as changing wound dressings, inserting catheters and IV lines, and giving injections.
Rehabilitation Services provide care in the home to help maximize the patient's quality of life, independence, and safety, and to restore the patient to the highest level of function possible.
Durable medical equipment companies provide home care equipment that will be used over an extended period of time, such as oxygen delivery systems, wheelchairs, walkers, and hospital beds. They can also furnish wound care dressings, incontinence aids, and other products and supplies like grab bars, shower heads, and shower chairs to ensure safety in the home.
The first step is to assess the person's needs. Make a realistic list of home and personal care tasks the person needs help with. Work with the person's health care provider to get an accurate picture of the person's medical requirements.
The second step is to locate the right home care provider. A reputable home care agency is the safest choice—both for your loved one's well-being and your own peace of mind.
You would be responsible for withholding and reporting income taxes and paying Social Security taxes. This can be very complicated and could also leave you open to having to pay back taxes and penalties.
If the caregiver were to be injured while working, you could end up paying the medical bills. The caregiver could file a workman's compensation claim or even file a lawsuit against you or your family.
It would be up to you to check certificates, licenses, references and criminal background…and to protect against elder abuse and financial exploitation.
You would be responsible for determining whether the care provider knows how to safely care for your loved one. For example, if your family member needs to be transferred from a wheelchair, you would need to be sure that the care provider knows how to do this safely.
You cannot try to hire someone on a seven-day-per-week basis. No employee can be a good employee for long without having time for personal needs and interests. So, you would need to plan for days off, vacation time and other times when the caregiver cannot be available.
If problems arise, you would be on your own in working things out as an employer. This includes discipline and termination.
Given the burden of finding, hiring, training and functioning as an employer, going to an agency instead provides numerous advantages. An experienced caregiver arrives pre-screened, trained and under the supervision of the agency. You don't have to worry about tax withholding, or liability. If the caregiver doesn't arrive, it's the agency's responsibility to provide a backup.
Hiring qualified, reputable home care aides can help meet your family's needs and greatly extend the ability of seniors to live safely and comfortably at home.
