Paul Ryan is leaving because he lost the fight for the Republican soul
There's no place for Ryan's small-government ideology in the identity politics party of Donald Trump.

If you want to understand why Paul Ryan isn't running for reelection and will leave Congress at the end of the year instead, don't think about his Democratic challenger, Randy Bryce (a.k.a. "IronStache"). Think about his erstwhile Republican primary opponent, Paul Nehlen.
Nehlen ran against Ryan for not disliking foreigners enough. He asked Ryan to debate him on a proposal to deport all Muslim Americans from the US. He once showed up at Ryan's house with a group of women whose children had been killed by unauthorized immigrants. After his 2016 defeat, Nehlen got deeper and deeper into white nationalism — these days, he can usually be found posting pro-Trump, anti-Semitic memes on the alt-right social network Gab.
Nehlen was never a threat to beat Ryan. Ryan walloped him in 2016 and was never in serious danger of losing to him in 2018, as far as anyone could tell. But Nehlen's existence was fundamentally a reminder that a large part of the party Ryan was trying to lead didn't trust him and didn't agree with him about what the Republican Party should be. And even if that faction wasn't going to unseat him in his own district, it's won the party.
Paul Ryan is a small-government ideologue in a Republican Party that increasingly sees small-government ideology as a tool of identity politics, rather than the other way around. There's nothing here for him anymore.
Paul Ryan was elected speaker on the promise to avoid immigration. Then came Donald Trump.
Paul Ryan didn't really seek out the speaker position. When John Boehner left in 2015, it became clear that no one else could win the support of run-of-the-mill House Republicans without being torched by the hardline Freedom Caucus. Ryan spent days refusing to take the gig, and then, finally, acquiesced.
But even though Ryan was the only mainstream Republican the Freedom Caucus trusted even a little, they didn't trust him unreservedly. Conservatives were deeply worried about his past support for comprehensive immigration reform, including legalization for unauthorized immigrants currently in the US. To become speaker, Ryan promised the Freedom Caucus that he wouldn't make any sudden moves on immigration by aligning with Democrats over conservatives — that he'd adhere to the Hastert Rule (only bringing bills to the floor if they're supported by a majority of Republicans) on any immigration bills.
The easiest way to keep this promise was to not bring any immigration bills to the House floor at all, and to try to avoid making any policy promises one way or the other. As speaker, Ryan made a couple of reassuring-sounding comments to unauthorized immigrants worried about their fates under Trump. Before Trump's inauguration, he told one immigrant protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that she was safe from deportation; after the Trump administration announced it was ending the DACA program, Ryan told its recipients to "rest easy" because Congress would pass a bill to protect them in the coming months.
But Ryan never made any promises, much less backed any bills to legalize DACA recipients or other immigrants. He never spent any political capital. He did nothing that could possibly be construed as a violation of his promise to the Freedom Caucus.
Increasingly, though, not moving bills that immigration hawks would dislike isn't sufficient. The White House is increasingly frustrated that Congress won't do more to pass immigration bills the White House wants — to end "catch and release" by tightening asylum laws, pass sweeping restrictions on legal immigration, and give Trump billions of dollars for his wall on the US-Mexico border.
None of these are things Paul Ryan is passionate about. If anything, like many Republicans, he supports keeping legal immigration at or near current levels (even if he wants to shift who those immigrants are), and he's skeptical of multibillion-dollar government spending projects.
To pass any bill — especially one on a contentious issue — Ryan would have to spend political capital to advance someone else's agenda. If he refused, he could lose the White House — and White House loyalists within his own conference.
Donald Trump's Republican Party cares less about passing bills than about fighting the culture war
Of course, Ryan managed to survive under Trump for a year, and under a Trump-led GOP for basically his entire speakership. It was possible, if the reward was worth it.
But what's left for Ryan, and for other conservatives who believe the purpose and size of the federal government is the defining question of our time? They have passed a multibillion-dollar tax cut — only to see the president threaten the confidence of business owners with an escalating trade war. They don't appear to have any prospects of overhauling Medicare over the veto of a president who explicitly promised to protect it, or overhauling Social Security on behalf of a base that is increasingly of Social Security-eligible age.
Oversight of government is no longer primarily a way to cut down on waste, fraud, and abuse. It's now a way to protect the president from an untrustworthy "deep state." There's no longer any appeal in protecting "the rule of law" for the purposes of fighting unauthorized immigration; the concern is that foreign countries are sending foreign people, legally and illegally, for nefarious ends.
The answer to the question of "What is the Republican Party?" has changed. It's no longer a political organization dedicated to shrinking government and protecting the free market. It's now one side of an ongoing culture war — for immigration agents and against immigrants, for police officers and against disruptive (black) protesters, for the White House and against the "deep state." It's not exclusively a white identity politics, but without race, it's hard to imagine the bonds that tie Donald Trump to the Republican base.
A decade ago, some pundits like Thomas Frank speculated that Republican voters were being duped: They voted for politicians on cultural issues, but the politicians were more interested in economic policies that would hurt their own base. In the age of Trump, the tables have turned. A Republican president, cheered on by the Republican base, is more interested in waging an ongoing culture war — against everyone from NFL players to FBI agents — than in any particular policy. And even if not every elected Republican is enthusiastically on board, the ones who aren't are now on the defensive.
Why would Ryan want to lead such a party? What's in it for him? What would he get out of it? The only obvious answer to this question would be to fight for his vision of the party. That appears not to be a fight Paul Ryan wants to have.

Abdullah seeks Uzbek Ulema's assistance for Afghan peace
By APW Team 12 November 2020 21
KABUL: Chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation (HCNR) Abdullah Abdullah on Wednesday termed Ulema's role crucial in ensuring peace and security in Afghanistan.
Abdullah made the remarks during a meeting with Mufti Osman Khan Aliyev, Chairman of the Islamic Board, and Abdul Ghafoor Ahmadov, Chairman of the Religious Affairs Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
"Afghanistan and Uzbekistan are neighbors and have deep religious, historical, and cultural ties," Abdullah said, thanking the country for its principled and continued support to Afghan peace.
Abdullah deemed Ulema's role important in ensuring peace and security, as well as guiding the society towards peaceful coexistence and called on Uzbekistan's Ulema to assist Afghanistan in this regard.
On his part, Osman Khan Aliyev reiterated support for the peace process, saying "It is the duty of all Muslims, especially the Ulema, to strive for peace. The people of Afghanistan are our brothers, and peace and tranquility in Afghanistan mean peace and tranquility in Uzbekistan."
"The Republic of Uzbekistan scholars are ready to help Afghanistan in this regard," he added.
Dr. Abdullah praised the relations between the Ulema of the two countries and welcomed joint meetings among the Ulema of the two countries.
The Special Representative of the Republic of Uzbekistan for Afghanistan, who was present at the meeting, said a joint meeting between the Ulema of the Republics of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Afghanistan would be held soon in Samarkand in support of peace in Afghanistan.

Q: Calling a Controller action from an onChange event I need some help with Yii.
How can I call a Controller action from a textbox onChange event?
Update:
I have a form built with CActiveForm. This form has many text-boxes. When I change any value other must be updated computing a formula using the new entered value. So what I am trying to do is the following:

        Average KW Demand:
        <?php echo $form->textField($lfac_model, 'kw_demand', array('size'=>5));?>

        Estimated Load Factor:
        <?php echo $form->textField($lfac_model, 'loadf', array('size'=> 5));?>/td>

When the user changes "Estimated Load Factor", "Average KW Demand" value should be updated with the result of a formula. What I've figured out is to store the formulas in a table, then go to a Controller action, retrieve the specific formula, calculate the new value and send it back to the view. I'm not sure if this is the best idea to implement this.

A: You should be able to use the CJuiAutoComplete Yii widget to do what you want. There is a basic demo here and there are other examples in the Yii docs. The main thing you would need to make sure in your case is that you also specify the "appendTo" option, see the jQuery autocomplete docs, which that widget uses.
So basically, you would set up the widget for your "Estimated Load Factor" field, and point to the "Average KW Demand" field via the appendTo attribute.
And if you don't want the autocomplete stuff and simply want to replace the value, you can use the htmlOptions attribute "ajax" on your "loadf" value like so:
'ajax' => array(
    'type'=>'POST', //request type
    'url'=>$this->createUrl('site/ajaxAction'), //url to call
    'success'=>'function(data) { $(\'#kw_demand\').val(data) }',// function to call onsuccess
             // "data" is returned data and function can be regular js or jQuery
)

see: CHtml#ajax-detail and jQuery.ajax. In this case you would most likely return plain text so your controller function would look like:
public function actionAjaxAction() {
  [your data functions...]
  echo $kw_demand_string;
  Yii::app()->end()
}

A: A Textbox's onChange event is a javascript event. It lives in a different aspect of your application.
To call an action on your controller you're going to have to use some AJAX (Or an asynchronous call). The idea here is to essentially post some data to the route that handles that action.
For instance:

*

*Say you have this route/page: /product/details => ProductController::actionDetails()

*You want to have a search field update with auto-complete options.

*You set up javascript on the onChange event of your search field to call a method that posts the field value (currently entered text) to an action on your controller.

*You set up this route/page /product/ajaxautocomplete => ProductController:actionAjaxAutocomplete()

*This second action takes in the posted value from your javascript Async HTTP Request (AJAX Call) and returns a list of possible results based on the database.

*Your javascript then accepts the return (usually in XML/JSON, sometimes HTML) and applys the values against the dom on the client side.

You can use jQuery to accomplish this easily:
$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: '/product/ajaxautocomplete',
  data: { 'searchPhrase' => searchBox.value },
  success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) { applyValues(data); },
  dataType: 'json'
});

Album: The Devil Don't Sleep (2016)
Charted: 64
This guitar-heavy rocker finds Gilbert kicking off the weekend. He told iHeartRadio:
"Some days are longer than others… and some nights aren't nearly long enough, 'The Weekend' is about making that weekend go on and on, and getting every little bit [of] good time out of it. You're gonna give it up all week long, so make every Friday night, every Saturday, every bit you can, matter."
Gilbert explained the song's impetus: "When we hit the road this winter on the Blackout Tour, we were rolling through the Midwest, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and you see how hard people work – and how much they need to let it go when they get to Friday!
All those people coming out to the shows and rocking hard; they meant business. I wanted to write a song that matched that intensity to kick back even harder than you work. That's where 'The Weekend' comes from: all those people who came out and threw it down with us."
Gilbert penned "The Weekend" over the phone with Nashville songwriter Andrew DeRoberts, without ever meeting him face to face.
The song's music video was directed by Shane Drake and features Gilbert, his band, his wife Amber and a beloved vintage car.
"This isn't that far off [from the truth]," Gilbert admitted of the clip's storyline. "I'm not a great mechanic … and I do love that old [Mercury] Cougar and my wife. To mix it all up like this, and kinda make it about what every guy wants and get frustrated about? Well, that's pretty much here."
Georgia schoolteacher Amber Gilbert is not used to co-starring in music videos. "She was entertained by the idea, I think, at first," Gilbert recalled to Nash Country Daily, "and then when we got closer to the time and the director, Shane Drake, actually had some conversations with her, and she figured out we were serious about it, she kind of [went], 'Are you sure?'
"But she did wonderful," he added. "Shane says she was a natural."

BBC Adds Rewind, Program Restarts to iPlayer
Posted by Doug Dobbins at 9:16 am on June 21, 2012
The BBC has altered its iPlayer on-demand service to include Live Restart. Live streams of BBC channels can be paused, rewound, or even re-commenced within two hours of the original air time, according to the BBC. The feature, which is said to be a first in the UK, follows requests from iPlayer users to further improve the television streaming functionality.
Rewinding has always been an iPlayer feature for content listed in the broadcaster's archives, but the control had been unavailable for live streams. Viewers can now rewind to the beginning of a program if they are late for the scheduled start time. In contrast, most DVR systems require users to preschedule a recording, or watch from the show's start time for full playback control.
The BBC iPlayer was launched in December 2007 as a catch-up service, with apps for mobile devices and other hardware created soon afterwards. The same technology is being used by the BBC in its London Olympics coverage this summer.
Live Restart is now available on the web-based iPlayer portal, before heading to mobile apps sometime in the future.


Making the time and saving the cash for self-care can be a tricky balance. Some say its all about budgeting, but we believe it is more about priorities.
We need to shift our view of self-care and wellness as being a luxurious indulgence to being a necessary and preventative investment in our long-term health. Why shouldn't your quality of life be worth investing our time and money?
So at Heart & Hands we offer a sliding scale of $20-40/session and we encourage our clients to pay what they can afford so they can ensure they receive the necessary course of treatment. We not only want to make it easier on your wallet, we want to make it easier for you to come as often as you choose so you receive as much or a little treatment as you require.
So for as little as $20 every few weeks, an acupuncture tune-up keeps you energized, resistant to illnesses, sleeping well and mentally focused. A small price to pay to get you through day-to-day life smoother and with that extra spring in your step.
Although there is instant gratification with each of the above mentioned items, we are all inclined to indulge and drop an easy $20. But none of them are actually the healthiest or most practical choices. It all adds up pretty quickly and when you think about it, $20 doesn't buy you that much.
At Heart & Hands, $20 gets you top-notch professional care, in a supportive environment where you can bring your loved ones. It gets you 30-60 minutes of pause in a cozy, peaceful space. You get to arise feeling restored, relaxed and more limber. And you contribute to a social movement dedicated to providing both an accessible, preventative health care for the community as well as an honest, living wage for experienced, compassionate practitioners.
And we also don't mind if you choose to pay more than $20 too! But whatever amount your choose to pay, we want you to acknowledge that wellness is a necessity that should be practiced at regular intervals and need not be expensive.
Oh…and did we mention? The nap is complimentary…zzz…..

"Reflections on a Theme" by Paul Holmes
March 31, 2019 March 31, 2019 Paul Holmes Sermons
The Fourth Sunday in Lent
"May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable." My dad began most of his sermons asking God for strength and guidance. In using those words this morning, I'm also asking for God's support, and additionally asking for acceptance, or at least understanding, from you Seekers, my faith community.
Few of you have ever heard me preach because I have not preached since Seekers made the move to Carroll Street. And I speak today with some reluctance and apprehension. What got me out of my chair and up here is the Seekers theme for Lent – Citizens of the Empire of God. As Celebration Circle has said, Seekers Church is not just a group of like-minded Christians. So, we who have expressed concern about this theme appreciate their invitation to bring the word this morning.
For those not familiar with the story, when the Lenten theme was introduced three weeks ago, some in attendance voiced concerns and objections, hearing the theme as insensitive and not reflective of Seekers values. In the following days, correspondence was exchanged and feelings hurt. Then two weeks ago, speaking on behalf of Celebration Circle, Deborah set aside the sermon she had planned in order to describe and explain the process and thinking Celebration Circle had gone through in arriving at the theme.
We were introduced to the work of Stephen Patterson (a respected Jesus Seminar theologian) whose work leads him to believe that the "historical" Jesus may very well have spoken of the "empire of God." Were Jesus to have used this term, he would have been describing an aspirational state that stood in stark contrast to the oppressive Roman empire, the only empire in Jesus' world. In using such a phrase, Jesus would have been speaking of an existence in which all are accepted and loved, or, as we quote Patterson in the litany, where "the means to life are offered to all freely, as a gift, regardless of what has been earned." Deborah's sermon further reassured us that the theme is intended to be "in solidarity with the migrants at our border… those who… fled violence and poverty… (and) dispossessed refugees." The sermon emphasized that "all human beings (have) intrinsic, sacred value and worth in the eyes of God."
We who heard or read Deborah's sermon benefitted from it and from Patterson's work and we have learned more about the historical Jesus. With that background and those reassurances, we now better understand the theme's intent and probably unanimously agree on the desirability of a God-centered existence. Why then can't I simply accept this theme as thought-provoking and let this drop? Why then does the theme – "Citizens of the Empire of God" continue to hurt and gnaw at me?
Partly it's because the theme doesn't conform to my vision of Jesus. Certainly, speaking of the "empire of God" would have challenged Rome's authority and put Jesus life and ministry at risk, but such challenges were not unusual for Jesus. In today's gospel we hear that "all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, 'This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.'" While those introductory sentences are often overlooked, they are central and affirm that Jesus was a subversive. Jesus was never about being part of the establishment. Rather he resisted empire, butted heads with authorities, worked on the Sabbath, offered good news to the poor, overturned tables, associated with the vilified and the outcast, and promoted redistribution of wealth.
The more important reason this theme is so discordant for me is because empire and citizenship are really powerful and loaded words, forever linked to the horrific histories connected to colonialism, slavery, and the movement of people across increasingly deadly borders. While some of us are advantaged enough to have access to Patterson's work, the dark history of the words "citizenship" and "empire" cannot be erased simply because we decide to redefine them.
Religion that is life-giving spreads God's love, offers education and healthcare to the underserved and advocates for those with no voice. In contrast, religion allied with the Powers has been effectively used throughout history to legitimize and administer empire and to justify state-sponsored sins and abuses. As painful as the following reminders are, let me offer some examples:
The crusades launched nearly two centuries of bloody and ruthless conflicts, while invoking the will of God;
Most Christians in 1930s Germany welcomed the rise of Nazism;
When Sallie and I visited Elmina, Cape Coast and other slaving sites in Ghana we were sobered to learn how the Dutch, Danes, Portuguese, Spanish, French and English all drew heavily on the authorities of church and God to dehumanize tribes and rationalize slavery throughout Africa;
Watching the movie "The Mission," we have wept as defenseless women and children and Jesuit priests are gunned down. The movie is even sadder because it's based on a mostly-true story;
And in our own country, numerous ministers and churches in the 18th and 19th centuries argued that slavery was "an institution of God." Indian removal was divinely ordained and Manifest Destiny was supported by a commonly held conviction that God intended North America to be under the control of Americans, meaning male, Anglo-Saxon Americans.
Each of us have our own experiences that inform our biases and beliefs. In my own work life, I have crossed literally hundreds of borders, sometimes as an agent of empire myself carrying a diplomatic passport, always as a recognized citizen and person of privilege. During those hundreds of crossings, I was never turned away and almost always welcomed warmly. But, with that position and privilege, I also witnessed pain that remains impossible for me to totally understand and comprehend:
I have walked makeshift refugee camps in the Sahel and the Caucasus, where children, women and men clung to life, often for years, without sufficient food, shelter, sanitation or medical care. Victims of drought, famine, government repression, and conflict, they had no passports and were not recognized as citizens of any country or empire;
Visiting the townships and settlements of apartheid South Africa, even into the late 1980s, I witnessed the deprivation, disease, desperation and total marginalization of majority black populations, even as Reformed churches overwhelmingly justified and legitimized the system as scripture-based and pleasing-to-God;
Years ago, I shared a Seder with a Jewish family in Moscow. The evening was filled with tears of joy because it was the first time that family had ever celebrated openly, rather than telling neighbors that it was a "birthday party." Even then, there was much anxiety because there still is not complete freedom of religion in Russia;
Our daughter Caren has shared with us some of her recent experiences with refugee solidarity groups in London, working against the legacies of empire and colonialism which remain primary engines driving forced migration, violence, climate change and destitution in much of the Global South. She reports that some of the migrants she works with have shaved off the tips of their fingers to avoid biometric fingerprinting which may further restrict their movement. Many have risked their lives to make it to Europe and it is their citizenship that prevents that journey from being safe.
Other Seekers have had their own experiences with empire – in Ethiopia, Viet Nam, Palestine, India, East Africa and Central America.
While most of the above examples are historical, the pain of empire, citizens and non-citizens and the tangling of God and empire are every-day occurrences today. Today we've got the U.S. Secretary of State saying that President Trump may have been chosen by God, and the Press Secretary claiming that God "wanted Donald Trump to become president." Today we've got the President of the United States autographing bibles. Today we've got Prime Minister Netanyahu claiming that "Israel is not a state of all its citizens… Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish People – and them alone." Today, in several countries, we've got the Catholic Church apparently placing the integrity of its institutions above the welfare of the children in its care.
Besides the tent-cities at entry points from Mexico to the U.S., today we've got Americans being treated as second-class citizens facing ongoing mass incarceration, police brutality and aggressive efforts to deny them their voting rights. These are some of the legacies of empire and citizenship that hurt so many of the world's people in real and tangible ways.
While these lists are long and painful for us to hear, these are only partial lists, mere fragments, and it's imperative that we acknowledge our heritage and acknowledge that even our Christian heritage is mixed. I offer this litany not as a diatribe against institutional religion, but to state that for many people who live in those dire conditions, "empires of God" is not always good news.
For most people in the world, concepts of empire and citizenship are not metaphors which can easily be "flipped on their head." They are material consequences that people who live with them cannot take-on or shed at will.
I join Celebration Circle in welcoming further conversation. For the remainder of Lent, I invite us to consider three practices around this theme.
First, let us feel the challenge in the Lenten theme and pray for God's greater influence and guidance on earth – now.
Second, let us join Jesus in his call to confront unjust powers and authorities, to lift up the poor, oppressed and neglected, and to help assure that peace and justice prevail over violence and force.
And third, because Seekers is a community that stands in solidarity with those most adversely affected by empires and exclusionary citizenship regimes, let us be ever mindful, not only of our own privilege as passport holders, but also of the constant, demeaning and life-threatening challenges faced by the millions and millions in God's world who are deprived of citizenship and victimized by empire.

Bruno Bieler () a fost un general german din Wehrmacht, care a îndeplinit funcții de comandă în timpul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial. A fost decorat cu Crucea de Cavaler al Crucii de Fier.

Biografie
Bieler s-a înrolat în Armata Prusacă pe 14 martie 1907, a fost ofițer cadet (Fähnrich) în Regimentul 33 Grenadieri "Graf Roon" din orașul natal Gumbinnen (azi Gusev) din Prusia Răsăriteană și și-a completat pregătirea de ofițer la Școala Militară de Război din Anklam. După absolvirea școlii a fost înaintat la gradul de Leutnant (locotenent). Începând de la 1 octombrie 1912 lt. Bieler a fost adjutant și ofițer anchetator la curtea marțială a Batalionului 1, apoi la 25 februarie 1913 a fost avansat la gradul de Oberleutnant.

Primul Război Mondial
După izbucnirea Primului Război Mondial, Regimentul 33 Grenadieri din Prusia Răsăriteană a fost trimis pe front, iar Bieler a fost numit acolo pe 21 decembrie 1914 ca adjutant al comandantului regimentului. A păstrat această funcție până la 31 iulie 1916, când a fost transferat în Statul Major la cartierul general al Corpului I Armată. La 5 august 1916 a fost numit ofițer de ordonanță, iar patru luni mai târziu a fost mutat în Statul Major al Corpului XXV Rezervă. În perioada 6 martie - 15 iunie 1917 ofițerul Bieler a lucrat în Statul Major al Diviziei 5 Cavalerie și apoi până la 6 decembrie 1917 în Statul Major al Diviziei 87 Infanterie. În perioada cât a făcut parte din Divizia 87 Infanterie a îndeplinit simultan funcții de comandă ale trupelor de pe front: comandant de companie în Regimentul 345 Infanterie (10-27 iulie 1917) și comandant de baterie în Regimentul 87 Artilerie de Câmp (10-24 august 1917). A fost avansat căpitan la 28 noiembrie 1917 și transferat la 7 decembrie 1917 în Statul Major al Comandamentului Frontului de Est. În perioada 10 ianuarie - 8 februarie 1918 a urmat cursurile Școlii de ofițeri de stat major de la Sedan. În urma absolvirii acestor cursuri a fost transferat la 27 februarie 1918 în Statul Major al Armatei. Apoi, pe 20 aprilie 1918, căpitanul Bieler a fost numit ofițer în Statului Major General al Armatei de Uscat.

Perioada interbelică
După război căpitanul Bieler a fost transferat pe 1 februarie 1919 în Marele Stat Major al Armatei Germane. De acolo a fost detașat la 1 octombrie 1919 în Ministerul Apărării Reich-ului, fiind transferat oficial pe 24 noiembrie 1919. Timp de o jumătate de an Bieler a lucrat în Statul Major al Gruppenkommando 1. La 1 octombrie 1923 a devenit comandant de companie în Regimentul 7 Infanterie Prusacă și a fost transferat la 1 aprilie 1927 în Statul Major al Diviziei 3 Infanterie. Șase luni mai târziu, a fost transferat în Statul Major al Infanterie-Führer III, părăsind funcția sa anterioară. După ce Bieler a devenit maior la 1 aprilie 1928 a revenit în centrala Ministerului Apărării Reich-ului pe 1 octombrie 1929 și a fost detașat în cadrul Comandamentului Marinei (Marineleitung). Simultan cu avansarea la gradul de Oberstleutnant (locotenent-colonel) pe 1 octombrie 1932 a fost transferat în Statul Major al Infanterie-Führer I. Bieler s-a aflat apoi, în perioada 1 octombrie 1933 - 14 octombrie 1935, în Wehrgauleitung Allenstein și a comandat apoi cu gradul de colonel (de la 1 octombrie 1934) Regimentul 55 Infanterie. A părăsit această funcție la 11 octombrie 1937 pentru a deveni șef al Statului Major al Corpului II Armată (12 octombrie 1937 – 30 septembrie 1939). A fost avansat pe 1 martie 1938 la gradul de Generalmajor (general-maior).

Al Doilea Război Mondial
După izbucnirea celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial, Bieler a fost numit pe 29 septembrie 1939 în funcția de comandant al Diviziei 73 Infanterie. A participat cu această divizie la Campania de pe Frontul de Vest (în Bătălia Franței), la Campania din Balcani și la Campania de pe Frontul de Est (în Războiul împotriva Uniunii Sovietice), fiind înaintat pe 29 februarie 1940 la gradul de Generalleutnant (general-locotenent). Divizia 73 Infanterie a obținut succese pe câmpul de luptă în cea de-a două jumătate a anului 1941. Ca urmare, generalul Bieler a fost decorat pe 19 septembrie 1941 cu Ordinul "Coroana României" cu spade în gradul de Mare Ofițer, cu panglica de "Virtutea Militară" "pentru destoinicia și devotamentul de care au dat dovadă pe câmpul de luptă în operațiunile contra bolșevicilor în colaborare cu trupele române". Pentru realizările sale militare de pe Frontul Răsăritean, a fost decorat, de asemenea, la 26 octombrie 1941 cu Crucea de Cavaler al Crucii de Fier.

La 29 octombrie 1941 a preluat temporar, pe perioada concediului de boală al generalului Hans Graf von Sponeck, comanda Corpului XXXXII Armată, care era inclusă în Armata a 11-a și a fost folosită în acea perioadă în operațiunile militare din Crimeea. După avansarea la gradul de General der Infanterie (general de infanterie) la 17 decembrie 1941 (cu vechimea calculată de la 1 octombrie 1941), a preluat la 1 ianuarie 1942 comanda Corpului VI Armată, care făcea parte din Armata a 9-a și se afla dislocat în zona Rjev. Din motiv de boală generalul Bieler a fost eliberat temporar de la comandă pe 9 aprilie 1942 și trimis în concediu medical pentru restabilirea sănătății. În lunile următoare s-a aflat în spitalul de recuperare din stațiunea balneară Bad Nauheim. De la 1 noiembrie 1942 până la numirea sa în funcția de comandant al Corpului LXXXVI Armată, pe 19 noiembrie 1942, s-a aflat în rezerva de comandanți (Führerreserve). Corpul LXXXVI Armată a fost format pe 19 noiembrie 1942 în sud-vestul Franței. La 20 noiembrie 1942 generalul Bieler a fost decorat pentru activitatea sa anterioară cu Crucea Germană de aur. A deținut comanda Corpului LXXXVI Armată până pe 28 august 1943, cu întreruperi cauzate de boală, iar la 21 august 1943 a fost numit comandant al Districtului Militar XI cu sediul la Hanovra. De la 15 august la 4 septembrie 1944 generalul Bieler a fost internat în spitalul militar Bad Pyrmont, iar la 1 noiembrie 1944 a predat comanda Districtului Militar XI generalului Walter Lichel și a fost plasat pentru ultima oară în rezerva de comandanți militari (Führerreserve). La 30 aprilie 1945 a fost scos din serviciul activ și trecut definitiv în rezervă.

Inside the mind of Conrad Shawcross making his mark in London's urban environment
By Poppy Malby 9 December 2019
Presenting everything you need to know about the sculptor linking neural construction with ecological formations...
Conrad Shawcross is a British sculptor who works with the complex philosophy of science and nature. Shawcross says that his sculptures sometimes appear like "childlike stacks of blocks", however, they always continue to create an abstract architectural impression on the environment. Shawcross' most recent piece is titled Bicameral and is part of a London series of commissions including Paradigm at the Francis Crick Institute and the upcoming Manifold (Major Third) 5:4 at the new Liverpool Street station for Crossrail.
Bicameral acts as a catalyst encouraging passersby to pause and look up as they wander underneath the shadows of this tree-like canopy. The structure of this man-made tree is suggestive of both natural tree formations as well as the neural human brain construction. This is a prime example of Shawcross' focus between science and nature, whereby the physics and maths of formation is integral to his artwork. Read on to find out more about his previous work at the Saatchi Gallery and what one piece of art he dreams of owning...
Bicameral by Conrad Shawcross
1. Where were you born?
Royal Free Hospital, London.
2. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
It was always going to be an artist or architect but for a brief time I was training to be a flying trapeze artist. I was known as the "Lead Butterfly" but I was injured trying to perform the notorious "Triple" while on tour in Eastern Europe in the late Nineties.
3. What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? What is the worst?
Best: when in doubt always err on the side of generosity (my father's advice). Worst: on my foundation course a teacher told me not to bother to apply to the Ruskin School Of Art in Oxford as I would never get in. Luckily I ignored their advice.
4. Who is the one person, dead or alive, that you would like to have dinner with and why?
The Swedish artist and mystic Hilma af Klint. She was an extraordinary individual and thinker working in isolation who was never acknowledged in her lifetime. There is often a heavy price to pay for being ahead of one's time – isolation, ridicule. It would just be really nice to say to her, "You're really on to something and your work is amazing."
5. Where is your favourite place on this planet?
The Seven Sisters in East Sussex.
6. What is currently on your playlist?
It is really dominated by my son Hartley right now. We have been listening to the soundtrack of the animated film Sing, particularly "I'm Still Standing" by Elton John.
7. What gives you inspiration?
Talking and reading about ideas with scientists; infectious forms of energy.
8. We all love a movie night, so what is your favourite film of all time?
O Lucky Man! directed by Leslie Anderson and starring Malcolm McDowell. It is the least known but best of their collaborations. The story in the film blew my mind when I was a teenager.
9. What is your favourite art gallery in the world and why?
Mona in Tasmania – incredible architectural spaces dug out of the bedrock, built and run by the dark maverick genius David Walsh and his sinister sidekick, Olivier Varenne. But I do have to say I'm a bit biased because David has been a huge supporter and believer in me over the years.
10. If you could collaborate with anyone, who would it be and why?
The HangerBicocca contemporary art museum in Milan – killer programme and spaces I would give my right arm to respond to.
11. If you could visit any artist's studio, whose would you visit and why?
Sol LeWitt. I'm a sucker for rule-based art and he was the king of rules.
12. What was the last thing you bought?
A 80mm split collar that is going to allow me to rotate a 1981 inverted golden Lotus in a new nightclub I'm designing.

13. What is your favourite piece of clothing you own?
My indigo-blue judo suit by Oliver Spencer.
14. What is hanging on your walls at home?
A lot of my partner's work, Carolina Mazzolari, as she is preparing for a new show. She makes very intricate embroidered tapestries that abstractly represent human emotional states.
15. What is the one work of art you would love to own?
A piece of Mike Nelson's from his recent show at Tate Britain, The Asset Strippers. He is, in my opinion, one of the most exceptional artists of his generation. His work always takes my breath away.
16. What is one staple item all men should own?
A renewable energy contract at work and at home. This is the easiest and most effective way to reduce our carbon footprint quickly and at no particular impact on our lifestyle. Currently 33 per cent of the UK's power comes from green energy. If we all switch to a green energy tariff, that needle is really going to shift fast.
17. Tell us about Bicameral, your new sculptural commission for Chelsea Barracks, London...
The sculpture takes its title from The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown Of The Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes, in which he theorised that consciousness evolved through our use of language, particularly metaphors. He stated that "these concrete metaphors increase enormously our powers of perception of the world about us and our understanding of it, and literally create new objects." The sculpture is a progression of bifurcating and trifurcating elements that fan out from a stem loosely forming two hemispheres or sides. The work is in some ways an Arcadian symbol for reason, humanity, rationalism, progress and above all hope, while the abstract modular structure oscillates between recognisable natural systems such as neutral pathways, a set of lungs or even a schematised tree itself. In the end, it remains elusive to definition. Designed with my studio team and Structure Workshop, the sculpture is comprised of 693 component parts, reaching eight metres in height, the structure of which is created entirely without welding. Instead, it is held together by techniques derived from Japanese wood joinery creating its precise interlocking form, which cascades down in scale as it radiates outwards.
18. What was the last exhibition you visited?
I went to Malta a couple of weekends ago to the opening of a Pierre Huyghe sculpture installed in a forest. It was called "Exomind (Deep Water)" and consisted of a crouching black concrete figure with a real live beehive placed over its head. It was a very powerful thought-provoking work commissioned by Micas, the new contemporary art museum being built in Valletta. Well worth a trip.
19. What is your favourite city in the world and how does it inspire you?
Venice has to be high up there. We would quite like to move there for a year or two and live in the northern quarter that is inhabited by artists and native Venetians.
20. So, what is next for Conrad Shawcross?
We are building a new "Rope Machine", my largest and most ambitious yet, measuring 12 metres across. It will be a permanent installation suspended in Mona, Tasmania, slowly weaving an umbilical-like rope that will never repeat. I also want to open a nightclub (don't tell my studio manager) called The Golden Lotus, in which I will suspend a 1981 inverted golden Lotus from the centre of the room. It was a piece I recently showed at the Saatchi Gallery as part of its exhibition Sweet Harmony, which was all about UK rave culture.

Pope Francis Is on a Roll — Brings Sanity to the GMO Debate By Jill Richardson
Does genetically engineering crops — creating seeds with the DNA of other species inserted in them, like a tomato with DNA that includes genes from a fish — violate religious principles?
People with a vested interest have tried for years to speak on the Vatican's behalf on this question. Now, Pope Francis has weighed in.
Using plain and forceful language, the Catholic leader has made it clear that he's against this kind of agricultural tinkering. In speaking out on what he sees as a question tied to the sanctity of life in his new environmental encyclical, he's also defied U.S. foreign policy.
The State Department dispatched its diplomats to lobby [2] Pope Benedict, Francis's predecessor, on genetic engineering just months after he took office. Diplomats cast embracing the technology as a "moral imperative," WikiLeaks revealed when it published State Department cables.
A year later, the diplomats reported [3] that the Vatican was "cautiously optimistic" about the newfangled foods. Yet in 2010, the Vatican clarified [4] that it hadn't come out in favor of genetic engineering.
Not surprisingly, the Vatican's concern all along — whether defined by Pope Benedict or Pope Francis — has been how the technology will impact the poor, as well as all of God's Creation.
Pope Francis takes a balanced and reasonable approach to the issue.
"It is difficult to make a general judgment about genetic modification (GM), whether vegetable or animal, medical or agricultural, since these vary greatly among themselves and call for specific considerations," he writes. "The risks involved are not always due to the techniques used, but rather to their improper or excessive application."
Instead of delivering a verdict on the science, Francis probes the social issues related to genetically engineered crops that the U.S. government and biotech companies like Monsanto and DuPont often try to sweep under the rug.
He observes that "in many places, following the introduction of these crops, productive land is concentrated in the hands of a few owners," while others lose their farmland. That means "the most vulnerable…become temporary laborers, and many rural workers end up moving to poverty-stricken urban areas."

It's not something you just preach about, it's something people need to walk out and live by. As a father, it means hard work everyday to ensure your family members are looked after.
So says Lemusu Pulepule of Solosolo who believes the best examples of showing love are found in bringing up children.
"Let's just not talk a lot about it but walk the talk," he said.
Fathers, he said, lead the way.
"They hardly go fishing, go to the plantation like we do.
The father caught up with the Village Voice while working on thatches to cover their faleo'o. Disciplining the children is another area where fathers play a key role.

Building your business through blogging is an exciting adventure. It brings with it the freedom to manage your message and offers the visibility many businesses fail to find with any other marketing medium.
The design, content creation and promotion that transpires in order to produce and maintain a superstar blog is exhilarating. The benefits are improved brand awareness, increased reach and significant financial returns. But at the end of the day, no blog becomes a superstar overnight. Building a successful blog requires vision, an unfailing commitment to purpose and a willingness to go that extra mile.
It can be easy to lose focus and find yourself sidetracked in the beginning. This makes it imperative that you understand a few key elements that make up a successful and eventually profitable blog.
When I first started blogging, I struggled to find my purpose. I was a random blogger without consistency. I also lacked content that served any one niche in particular. I was spinning on the Ferris Wheel of trepidation and fear. I worried that if I took a stand, I would somehow miss the massive target audience I was seeking.
My mistake was simple and one that many early bloggers make. I did not identify who I was truly looking to reach. I had forgotten the importance of having an intimate understanding of my audience, an awareness of what motivates them and a deep desire to satisfy their needs.
Who does your product or service serve?
What is their age, location, income level and marital status?
Why would they buy your product or service?
Where is your audience spending their time online?
Finding the meaning behind what you write may not be something you immediately identify with. This is why it is important to stick with topics you are familiar with. Take your knowledge, your years of expertise and your passion for your message and put your heart and soul in to each article. If you are longing for a purpose behind your blog, answer a few important questions.
Do you have a system in place to effectively stay in front of prospects and past clients?
A couple of these are soul searching, gut wrenching "why the heck do I get out of bed" questions. Take your time and answer them. Ignoring your answers is a mistake and a regret you will have down the road.
Are you passionate about your topics? If you only blog for the search engines, you will quickly lose your enthusiasm for the subject matter. Blogging consistently requires you to be on fire for your topic. Consistency will build authority and credibility, but it will take time.
Writing about your topics should come as natural as breathing. If your content feels forced, your readers will sense that.
I encourage you to perform a small test. Write down the first 10 topics that come to your mind. Then ask yourself if these topics excite you and whether or not they are something that you could write about daily. If your answer is yes and they are not a part of your blog now, then you need to consider making a change. If not, begin to eliminate the ones you dislike and focus on the top 3 – 5 that knock your socks off.
Do you work daily to engage your readers, draw on their emotions, and ask them to discuss, debate and contact you? Are you asking open ended questions or using free offers or advice to draw them in? Have you defined a call to action and do you ask them to take action on a consistent basis?
If you do not create a conversation then you will never gain an audience that feels a part of your community. Make it feel like home to them. A community where they belong and enjoy spending their time. You also want to create a feeling of loss if they miss an article.
Take a look at your current content and determine how you can drive readers to your blog and engage them consistently. e.g. blogging about hot topics, local information, answering frequently asked questions. Be specific and then take action by adding this to your blog.
By continuously offering value to your readers, you create a rhythm and a reason behind your blog. As your readers begin to comment, listen intently to their feedback. What worries or concerns them and where can you meet that need? Craft your content around their most pressing wants and desires.
Remember: your articles should be a refuge, an answer to their problems and a reassuring voice throughout their purchase decision. Give them the information they are searching for in an easy to digest format and they will be forever grateful.
You can turn your blog into the superstar catalyst that drives you toward your goals. Identify your purpose and then write with conviction. Open up your creative flood gates and allow your audience to connect and grow your brand and your bottom line.
Wow, Rebekah, I absolutely LOVE your writing style! Makes me want to visit as often as I can not only to read what you have to say but how you say it. I can definitely hear the passion in your voice about the topic at hand.
As a passionate blogger who tends to post on purpose for profit, I have a lot to learn about engaging my audience and creating a conversation on my blog.
This is the first post I have ever read of yours, and I intend to read more.
Thank you so much Juli! I'm thrilled to hear it resonates with you and hope you'll return often!
I found your comments about finding your purpose interesting.
I started my new blog, and it was going to aim at personal development. So i changed the focus to be that of communication and how to use it effectively. Then through that, solve problems, and slip in the personal development.
When I changed the focus, or shifted the focus, i needed to have a topic I still could be passionate about, or, down the road I would run out of steam, struggle to find subjects to write about, and, when tired and busy, not find time to post.
When you have written a blog post, do you try to keep the conversation in hour comments, on your blog, or prefer to move them elsewhere, say Facebook?
Hi Jon! I do try to keep the comments on the blog if possible, but it certainly depends on where the conversation starts. For example, I might have posted it to Twitter or Facebook and the conversation evolves on that social network. For me it's always about meeting people where they spend their time. However, my hub is my blog so everything should center around that and eventually push back to it. I hope that answers your question. If not, just let me know!
Great topics on effective blogging. Knowing your audience is so important. I created an "avatar" of my typical client. I wrote a list of her needs and goals, then even went one step further to create a picture of her.
That's a great help when I sometimes get "stuck" on what to write.
Engaging your audience is so important also. We must visit other bloggers and social media friends to create a conversation.
Most of all "Superstars Create Conversion" by relating to their audience.
Creating an avatar is very similar to what we would do back in my radio days. We would visualize, describe and then physically design our core demographic. It's such a powerful tool when you know exactly what they look like, what they enjoy on a daily basis and where you can find them. Speaking directly to that person makes your message that much more targeted and far more effective. Love it!
Hi Rebecca, I keep wondering how to be able to create a 'share and like' click button, Is this an easy thing to do?
Hi William! If you're using WordPress, there are many plugins that will do this for you and yes, they are very simple to add. I would try the Sharebar or AddToAny. Both offer all popular social sites and are visually appealing. Good luck and I hope that helps!
Amazing, never seen so many share buttons.
Thank you Lee! Yes, I did this all by myself. Gotta love those share buttons right? There's never a better time to ask for a little share love than when they're sitting on your page!


It is traditional for parents to give any inheritances for their children in their estate plans for the children to receive after they pass away. However, some people prefer giving that money to their children before they pass away.
People who have more income than they need for their own expenses, normally do one or more things with their extra money. They invest it, give it to charity or spend it on luxury items they do not really need.
Any money they then have left after they pass away, is typically left to their children in their estate plans. That is what is traditionally done with wealth. It is transferred to the next generation.
However, The New York Times recently had an article by a man who has chosen to do something else with his extra money. The article is titled "Why I Am Giving My Children Their Inheritances Now."
The author and his wife are not wealthy, but they make enough to be comfortable and have money left over. They do not wish to spend their extra money on vacations or luxuries. Instead, they have decided to give their extra money to their adult children now.
This is something that many people would not be interested in doing. On the other hand, anyone interested in doing this should go about it carefully.

Home » Blog » Why is good dental care so important?
Your mouth, like many areas of your body, is teeming with bacteria. In low numbers, these bacteria are generally harmless, but when they start to multiply and spread, it can wreak havoc on your body.
Normally, the body's natural defences paired with a good oral hygiene routine keep these bacteria under control. However, without proper dental care and oral hygiene, these bacteria can reach high levels and lead to oral infections like tooth decay and gum disease.
Here at Elite Dental of Staten Island, we have a commitment to preventive dentistry. We provide comprehensive endodontic treatment with the end goal of preventing gum disease. Bacteria cause inflammation of the gums, known as gingivitis. Gingivitis is the early stage gum disease and if it's not treated quickly, can progress to advanced gum disease, known as periodontitis.
Endocarditis – This infection affects the inner lining of your heart and can occur when bacteria from other parts of your body (like your mouth) spread throughout your bloodstream and attach to the impaired or damaged parts in your heart.
Cardiovascular disease (heart disease) and stroke – These diseases have recently been linked to the inflammation and infections that oral bacteria cause.
Pregnancy and birth – Periodontitis has been scientifically connected to both premature birth and low birth weight.
Maintaining and increasing your oral hygiene routine is one of the greatest things you can do to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Healthy teeth not only enhance the aesthetics of your smile, they also make it possible to eat and speak properly.
It's important to maintain your oral health throughout your adult life. Even with the recent innovative advancements in dental technology, nothing is better than the colour, feel and shape of your natural teeth.
The team in Staten Island believes prevention is far better than a cure and takes all appropriate steps to ensure you keep your natural teeth for life.
If you want more information on preventative dental care or would like to book an appointment, contact the friendly team at Elite Dental of Staten Island today.
