There's more than one way to skin a carrot
Carrots are very popular in Madagascar.
These are locally made from, for lack of alternatives, recycled materials.
Posted by anna tambour at 4:28 pm 2 comments:
Is there anyone who doesn't give authors advice? There is, there is!
I have a 'pet' flatworm—actually, a guest in a coliseum terrarium that I made for it and a leech that it was pursuing with it seemed, hungry intent, though I couldn't, to be honest, read the flatworm's eyes. It might have just been admiring the leech's upwardly mobile stance.
"I like being called the Blue Planarian, and I don't consider myself flat."
The leech is either history or hiding, but the flatworm is quite outgoing, despite me not having introduced any companions since that day about eight months ago. Some say that this type of flatworm can live for a year without a meal. Of one thing I'm certain. It has not written a single line of a guide to writing.
So I will.
Every story that has any power is just a glimpse into something that the author has the taste and reticence not to expose too much of.
Enough of that.
The Blue Planarian is a most fascinating creature, with slime that is both slippery and sticky as glue. It is also one of the most difficult of all photo subjects, its surfaces coated with inscrutable shine. This species, Caenoplana coerulea is getting a bad rap these days, enjoying foreign foods in lands far from the Antipodes. I don't know, however, if it has reached Tuscany.
Save the right to silence
"You have the right to remain silent" has become merely an American cop-show line here in New South Wales, Australia.
Government proposals concerning the Right to Silence
As reported in In Brief earlier this week, the NSW Government has announced proposals to amend the Evidence Act to allow juries and the judiciary to draw an adverse inference against an alleged criminal who refuses to speak to investigating police, but later produces evidence at trial. The Bar Association has publicly expressed its opposition to the proposals and will be making representations to the government on the issue. Members may wish to contact their local member of parliament or the premier to convey their views. Members may also be interested to know that an Online petition – "Save the Right To Silence" - has been established to enable the community to register their protest against the proposed laws.
— In Brief bulletin, published by the NSW Bar Association, 17 August 2012
"Ironically, if the law was enacted, the people least affected would be career criminals, who would know they should stay silent anyway. The people most affected would be those charged for the first time, who are nervous or panicked, or who have a disability, language difficulties or other disadvantages."
—Justin Dowd, "Right to silence change is bad law", The Australian, 17 August 2012
"The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that silence can be used as evidence against defendants only if they had received legal advice before being questioned: how otherwise is a lay person to know what might harm their defence in court if they don't mention it to police?
— David Dixon, "On the right to silence, all the rhetoric is deafening", Brisbane Times, 16 August 2012
"Every parent knows that if you ask an errant child where he was in the afternoon, the child will mumble a deflecting lie or deception. Maturity does not erase human nature; in fact, it makes it more serious and its consequences more disastrous. Any suspect may choose to tell any police freely, after proper advice, after catching his emotional breath. The impact of a video interview played to a jury containing an error, mistake or fumble, mumble or flat-out mistruth on one issue - not the issue of guilt or innocence - is almost impossible to erase."
— Charles Waterstreet, "Shouting out our right to silence", Brisbane Times, 19 August 2012
Sign the petition: Save the right to silence

I do love real bookmarks. And this one, with the Pulver himself, is going to be a collector's item, as will this most unusual anthology.
Other bookmarks in my treasure collection:
A sewn artpiece by Tansy Rayner Roberts, disgustingly overendowed with talent. She has perfect pitch as an often very funny storyteller. And she also wields a needle with a tail of thread.
(the memory of) Many Persephone Books' bookmarks, all of which I've given, nestled between leaves, to special friends. My favourite book from PB is still Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, a delicious satire that PB has turned into a classic and that Hollywood turned into a simplistic simper.
Kaaron Warren's bookmarks. Each one is a small collection of disparates, and each one is as unique as the fiction that's come forth from Warren's very strange mind. You would never think to look at her, what lurks in that wine-bowl skull.
But for originality of thought, I'm afraid that no one in the field of fiction can beat the imagination of some bureaucrat, someone unnamed as a cathedral gargoyle. The bookmark: An Australian Initiative: The National Public Toilet Map, a Project of the National Continence Management Strategy. Now, that is something worth carrying into the writing field. Ten thousand words muddling what ten would say quite clearly? Call in the CMs!

Coming attraction
Je t'aime: typography
Lovers of great letters can go to Paris to have fun,
but there are many other places where romance has surfaced.
This script graces an otherwise disgraceful public toilet.
I'd love to turn it into a font, called Je t'aime, or Joie.
There's something about Je t'aime though.
It can dance with many partners, beautifully.
It doesn't take two to tango

When the climate in the Mediterranean turns mild, boats full of migrants leave from the coasts of Africa and Asia trying to reach Europe, the "promised land". On a summer night, after 3 days of travel in the perilous waters of the Mediterranean, Bochra arrived on a Sicilian beach, along with 130 other migrants. All soon escaped, but Bochra remained alone in the limbo between sea and earth… until the tourists arrived.


Allows for the safe cleaning of sensitive instruments and fixtures, as well as all general surfaces – it will not flake or scratch like lower quality sponge, mesh or paper based products.
Best used at bed side or in SPD during full cleaning to wipe down insertion tube before cycling enzymatic and detergent through scope.
Smaller diameter hole than other tube sponges on the market allows for tighter fit around all types of scopes when cleaning and more surface area in contact with insertion tube.

Norbulingka, Lhasa
Lying at the western rural areas of Lhasa, Norbulingka is 2 km toward the east of the Potala Palace. In 1988, the State Council approved it to end up a national vital social relic security unit. On Dec. 14, 2001, the UNESCO included Norbulingka into the expansion subjects of the Potala Palace which is enrolled as a World Cultural Heritage site. In 2001, the State Tourism Administration evaluated Norbulingka as 4A on the national tourism locale level.
Norbulingka signifies "Treasure Garden" in the Tibetan dialect. It was first implicit the mid-eighteenth century and expected today's scale through numerous extensions. Norbulingka has 3 sections: the patio before the royal residence, the castle and woodland. With more than 400 arrangements of rooms, the greenhouse takes up 3.6 square kilometers, among which 3.4 square km are green knolls or woods.
Location: Lhasa
Highlights: • Temple • Losel Doll Museum • Shop • Hummingbird Café

Do You Feel The Holiday Stress?
For some of us the Christmas season JUST got started.... for others, it's been going on since before Thanksgiving!
Listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving can cause stress for some people.
The University of Utah is helping their students this year prepare for finals with a little something special.

For A Trip Down Memory Lane
A new exhibition titled 'A Trip Down Memory Lane' features previously unseen photos of Salford, Eccles and Manchester from the 1960s and 70s.
The photos, which show local people both at work and during their leisure time, were taken by local resident George Shepherd, who grew up in Lincoln Street in Eccles.
George's daughter, Angie Shepherd, came across a carrier bag of her father's negatives, which hadn't been seen for 55 years, and wanted to get them printed.
The subsequent exhibition, which runs at Eccles Community Gallery until 1st June, captures local people both in their leisure time and at work. Many of the workplaces depicted are no longer there, such as Protector Lamp and Lighting Company and The Metal Box Company.
"It's no exaggeration to say that George's photos are an important social document that has skilfully captured the way we used to live and play, and is a great visual record for all times" says local historian and writer Tony Flynn, who also helped pull the exhibition together.
"I swear if Morrissey had seen the fairground photos taken by George, they would be gracing The Smiths album covers! I strongly advise you to call in at the Gallery and who knows who you may spot in the exhibition!"
Forever Manchester's very own Lisa Brown Lisa connected George and Angie to photographer David Hunter who printed the negatives at his own studio.
Lisa added: "Connecting people around shared interests are the key ingredients to a strong, thriving and vibrant community."
Groups of people have started to come forward recognising people in the pictures. Amanda Johnson recognised her dad, Eddie Johnson, working at the speedway in 1964 (see below).
A Trip Down Memory Lane' runs from Saturday 11th May until Saturday 1st June 2019 at Eccles Community Gallery. The gallery opening times are: Saturday 10am – 4pm, Tuesday and Friday 11am – 2pm.


Lots of really great ice cream made with excellent ingredients is available in your favorite food store - some stunning in their simplicity, others enticing in their unfamiliarity - so you have to be very motivated to make your own. If you are, keep reading.
The following three books will make the home cook who wants to make ice cream happy. First, are two books by Jeni Britton Bauer, Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home and Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream Desserts. Her recipes translate well to the home kitchen, her ice cream is fantastic, and I find it doesn't get icy stored in my freezer, a big plus. Then, should you be interested in getting into more depth about ice cream, you will also enjoy Dana Cree's Hello, My Name is Ice Cream - The Art and Science of the Scoop.
Ever since I got Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home, I have made all my ice cream her way with cream cheese as a stabilizer. However, if I were to make a recipe for ice cream that called for making a custard, which uses egg yolks as the stabilizer, I would adapt the recipe to incorporate the following method.
This "miracle" technique is adapted from Vol. 19, Number 2, of A La Carte, the newsletter from what was, to me, the best cookery shop in the world, LaCuisine in Alexandria, Virginia, and Desserts to Die For by Marcel Desaulniers. Unfortunately for me, but not for Nancy, the owner, the shop has closed so that Nancy can divide her time between cooking and visiting her daughters, one of whom lives in London, the other in Bologna. Way to go, Nancy!
I miss LaCuisine, a place where you did not find trendy implements, cookware, books, or foodstuffs. There were only items chosen, tested, used, and recommended by Nancy herself and her team of "Cuisinettes," they of discriminating taste (not a pun) and high standards. Many of my prized kitchen treasures are from LaCuisine, and I miss having this dependable store to turn to for my cooking wants and needs.
Happily, I can follow Nancy on her official blog, Kitchen Detail. I suggest you do too.
Stephanie, one of the Cusinettes who worked closely with Nancy at LaCuisine, says that when she discovered this technique in Marcel Desaulniers' Desserts to Die For, "hidden" in the recipe on Page 79 for Jonny's Hard Cider Ice Cream, she knew she had found a major breakthrough. No matter what ice cream recipe Stephanie tried, she never had a failure with this method. I also found this to be true.
You can use these directions whenever you are making ice cream with a custard base. However, you MUST have a stand mixer with a paddle attachment for this recipe to work, and you must follow the directions explicitly.
Heat the cream, milk, and half of the sugar in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil.
While the cream mixture is heating, place the egg yolks and the remaining sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer FITTED WITH A PADDLE, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Beat the eggs and sugar on high for 2-3 minutes, then scrape down the sides, and continue beating on high until the mixture is thick and lemon colored.
At this point the cream mixture in the saucepan should be boiling. If not, adjust the mixer speed to low, and continue to mix until the cream mixture boils. The eggs must be well mixed BEFORE the boiling cream is added.
Pour the boiling cream mixture into the beaten egg yolk/sugar mixture, and whisk ON LOW to combine. Return the mixture to the saucepan, and place over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a temperature of 185°F. This will only take about one minute. Chill the mixture in an ice bath until it is between 40 to 45°F before proceeding. (I often refrigerate the mixture overnight.) When you are ready to spin the mixture in your ice cream maker, strain the mixture through a sieve and proceed to freeze following manufacturer's instructions.

Time-course pattern of electrolyte leakage from tuberous roots of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) after short-term high temperature
Toshihiko Eguchi, Satoshi Yoshida
We investigated the time-course pattern of electrolyte leakage from the root flesh of growing tuberous roots of two sweetpotato cultivars, Koganesengan and Narutokintoki, after exposing them to high temperature for short duration. For both cultivars, the electrolyte leakage after 1 h of treatment was significantly higher than that at 24 h after treatment. This pattern was similar to the pattern observed following instantaneous flooding treatment previously reported by us. Electrolyte leakage from plant cells is an indicator of cellular responses to various stress factors. Similar stress, therefore, might be caused in heated and flooded tuberous roots.

This year is 5777 in the Jewish calendar. The Hebrew letters, which are alsonumbers, represent strength (Ohz-Ayin-Zayin) and forward movement (Zuz).
This combination of strength and movement calls us to engage with our deepest values and communal principles. We can step forward together with a fierce commitment to radically transform our lives, our communities and world.
Throughout the Days of Awe, and the year ahead, we will explore and act on our mission and vision as an inclusive Jewish, spiritually activist, caring, and committed community. Immediately as the year begins, we join our 50 fellow member congregations of POWERand commit to register at least 180 voters toward the overall goal of 12,500 new voter registrations. Our congregation, city and larger society will be shaped for years to come beyond this one election. Our Jewish values, and our own Mishkan Shalom statement of principles, compel us to rise above cynicism or apathy and get involved. We will do so in the weeks ahead! As we enter 5777, our new president, Ellen Tichenor, is already making her skill, compassion and energized engagement felt as she helped shepherd us through the shifting terrain of securing our new resident CB Community School.
Barry Dornfeld, Lance Laver and the Building/Aesthetics Committee, adapt our premises for the Bridge Way School, CB School, City Light Church, event rentals and our own needs. Past president David Piver is staying passionately involved in our spiritual life and will partner with our new development chair Jean Brody to direct our fundraising efforts. We recognize and appreciate continuing and new Board members and committee chairs, new and returning members, and an amazing staff.
If we can strengthen our own connections to each other as I begin the first year of my new five-year covenant to serve our community, please let me know better ways to do so or ways you can better support each other in conscious Jewish community.Let us move forward in strength and deeper engagement together. This is going to be a remarkable year.
Elul tov v'Shanah Tovah U'Mitukah--wishing all of us and our precious world rebirth and renewal in the year ahead.
We are poised to move to a new phase in the life of our community. Founding members can join the new generation of members to engage more actively in our mission and vision. Please read Ma Hadash weekly and visit our website often to stay informed. Our Shabbat school pilot project begins in December for three monthly Shabbat immersion experiences. Thanks to Rabbi Erin Hirsh and Gratz College, we are getting some additional support for our Teen programming.
With new member Julie Meyer's leadership we are looking to reboot our Green Team and sustainability efforts as part of the HAZON seal of Sustainability initiative, and on Wednesday, September 14, at 7:00 p.m., our spiritual life team will offer a chance to learn and get behind the scenes of our Shabbat services for all interested. This is the year to raise the bar of involvement and take greater ownership of what the covenant of belonging means as a stakeholder in Mishkan Shalom.
Thank you to those who began to move towards greater strength and commitment in volunteer time and financial contributions beginning with our annual community meeting last June. Thank you all - we now have a new phase of the journey to travel together.
On Shabbat weekend of September 9-10 we can show up with and for each other, to lean into a renewed commitment and connections in a full weekend of dynamic learning, prayer and sustenance as we celebrate Owen Spencer's Bar Mitzvah. Rabbi Yael, Julie and I will all be on hand.
As I take these words in myself, I assess my own leadership of service, my partnering, parenting and friendships. I see my contributions and growth, and more often than not, my falling short of the person I long to be in this precious one life. If I have unintentionally hurt or missed the mark with any of you, please let me know in kindness so we may move into this next year with a more open heart together.
Elul tov v'Shanah Tovah U'Mitukah--wishing all of us and our precious world rebirth and renewal in the new year.

Government attempts to deport illegal immigrants now include Spanish-language newspaper and radio advertisements that encourage the illegal immigrants to self-deport.
The new ads, appearing in Spanish-language newspapers and on radio stations, were produced by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and are part of a pilot program by ICE called the Scheduled Departure Program. The program hopes to accelerate deportations of "non-criminal fugitive aliens," who have received orders of removal and do not have criminal convictions. ICE's James T. Hayes told NPR that this program "provides an alternative" to the way ICE has been conducting deportations, which include much-criticized raids in the home and workplace.
ICE is "one of the strongest, most powerful police organizations within the executive branch. You have no rights" once under supervision or arrest by ICE, according to Jay Marks, an immigration lawyer and Spanish-language radio host who spoke about ICE's new advertisement with NPR. Hayes, the head of ICE's Office of Detention and Removal, says self-deportation will help the qualified group of illegal immigrants, numbering around 457,000, to avoid incarceration.
The ads are being run in Santa Ana, San Diego, Chicago, Phoenix and Charlotte, N.C. until August 22. But they "drew no takers" on August 12, the date of their first appearance. "You would have to be crazy—who would want to turn themselves in?" said Angel Martinez, an illegal immigrant interviewed by the Associated Press August 13.
Aside from the fact that its mission seems implausible, critics of the pilot program may argue that it does not address the "how" of the department's approach, only the "what," as NPR's Michelle Martin puts it. Instead of exercising a different approach to raids and incarceration—some accounts have described them as violent and embarrassing—or streamlining the deportation process so the waiting period is shorter, ICE has decided to create an entirely new program.
ICE has come under fire for incidents unrelated to the pilot program, like the May 16 arrest of nearly 400 illegal immigrants at a meatpacking plant in Iowa, what the New York Times calls the "largest criminal enforcement operation ever carried out by immigration authorities at a workplace." The events following the arrests were described in detail by Erik Camayd-Freixas, a federal interpreter.
The Immigration Reform Act of 1965, sponsored by Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., was an important milestone in U.S. immigration policy, in effect eliminating the "national origins" quota system enacted in 1921 and significantly "liberalizing" U.S. immigration policy, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.
Following this, 1970s immigration levels soared, with arrests of illegal immigrants numbering 766,000 in 1975 alone. The number of illegal immigrants reached a then-record high of 1.2 million in 1985, and in 1986 Congress granted amnesty to some 3.1 million with the Immigration Reform and Control Act.
In the 1990s, an increase in legal immigration and amnesty for relatives of those covered in the 1986 act occurred, and efforts to curb immigration numbers were defeated until 2005, according to the nonpartisan Americans for Immigration Control's chronology of U.S. immigration policy from 1965 to 2006.
In June 2007, the immigration bill intended as the "most dramatic overhaul" to U.S. immigration laws in decades died in the Senate. The bill, the Washington Post wrote, "would have coupled tough border enforcement measures and a crackdown on employers of illegal immigrants with a pathway to citizenship for 12 million illegal immigrants, a new guest-worker system for foreigners seeking entry and dramatic changes to the system of legal migration." It was seen as a large blow to President Bush's immigration policy.
Studies have found that the number of illegal immigrants is now on the decline. The Center for Immigration Studies' July 2008 report finds that the number "hit a peak" in August 2007 and declined 11 percent through to May 2008. The CIS speculates that a 2007 debate in Congress over legalizing illegal immigrants helped the illegal immigration rate to swell, and that the failure to pass the legislation, as well as an impending recession, has caused the numbers to fall.

Libya and Somalia raids — more rendition, more wars in Africa

The twin U.S. raids in Libya and Somalia occurred almost a month ago but they're still worth discussing, especially in light of the movie "Captain Phillips", which stars Tom Hanks and is based on the 2009 hijacking of an American ship by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean. The movie was released October 11. Also, I haven't been able to lay out my thoughts on the raids until now. Overall, they signify a continuation of rendition and the expansion of U.S. militarism into Africa.
While the government was shut down, U.S. special operations forces conducted two simultaneous raids in Libya and Somalia on Saturday, October 5. In Somalia, around two dozen operators from U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6 (the same team that killed Osama bin Laden) landed by boat on Baraawe, a coastal town in southern Somalia, in the dark, early morning hours. Their goal was to capture a member of the Somali Islamic militant group al-Shabaab named Abdulkadir Mohamed Abdulkadir — also known by the nom de guerre Ikrimah. Kenyan intelligence said Ikrimah, who is a Kenyan national of Somali descent, is connected to terrorist plots against "Kenya's Parliament, the United Nations office in Nairobi, Kenyan military installations, an Ethiopian restaurant in the Kenyan capital and an airport", all of which never materialized, reported the New York Times. However, the Times notes that Ikrimah "is seen as a pivotal connection for an array of extremists across vast distances, from Tanzania to Yemen — a veteran militant with intimate knowledge of the ties among Kenyan terrorists, the Shabab and Al Qaeda." This is what made the United States government want to capture him.
But the operation did not go well. Once U.S. Navy SEALs landed on Baraawe and approached Ikrimah's compound, an al-Shabaab fighter spotted and fired at them with his AK-47. Quickly, the SEALs found themselves in a deadly shootout with well-armed and experienced al-Shabaab fighters. The SEALs could see their target but experienced heavy fire as they got closer. Children soon became interspersed with the fighters and Ikrimah was "barricaded and heavily protected by armed men", according to an NBC News investigative report. NBC added, "Soon there would be fewer than two dozen Americans against hundreds of Somalis." Seeing that they couldn't capture their target, the SEALs withdrew from the mission. They escaped with no casualties or injuries. Commenting on the mission's failure, one military official told the Washington Post, "It was a capture mission, and when it became evident that we couldn't capture him alive, the team decided" to withdraw. He added, "If we wanted to kill this guy, we have lots of ways to do that."
The Libya raid turned out differently. Suspected al-Qaeda member Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, also known by the alias Abu Anas al-Libi, was captured by U.S. Army Delta Force operators in Tripoli. His 21-year-old son, Abdullah al-Ruqai, described the scene to the Guardian. After morning prayer, as his father walked to his car, a black Hyundai Tucson, outside their Tripoli home, three masked men with handguns leapt towards him from a white Mercedes van. "Just as my father was parking, these cars came from everywhere," Abdullah told the Guardian. "There were three white cars which blocked the street, then came the van, all of them with tinted windows. The van pulled up and 10 men got out; three of them had masks and handguns fitted with silencers." The men, some of whom shouted "Get out, get out" in Arabic, dragged al-Libi and threw him on the car's hood as he shouted "What's going on?" Al-Libi was drugged and dragged to the van across the street, according to his son, "His body was floppy, he wasn't speaking, they must have drugged him." Within seconds, the cars drove off and no shoots were fired. Abdullah also alleged that Libyan security forces were with the U.S. commandos. He said seven of the men "looked like amateurs" and "shouted with Libyan accents and moved like Libyans." However, the Libyan government claimed it did not know of the operation before it happened.
The U.S. government alleges that al-Libi helped plan the 1998 bombings of American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, which killed over 200 people. But his son swears his father is innocent. He told the Guardian, "He never met Bin Laden, he never worked with him, he was not a terrorist." Abdullah expanded, "As a young man, he went to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. He heard how people were being killed, women raped in Afghanistan and he wanted to help." Al-Libi's brother Nabih al-Ruqai condemned the raid as "a work of piracy" saying the commandos "were supposed to present legal documents to the Libyan government and my brother should be tried here in Libya — like any Libyan."
Both raids underscore the Obama administration's embrace of rendition, the practice of kidnapping people suspected of terrorist ties in sovereign countries so that they can be detained and interrogated by the U.S. without access to a lawyer. The Bush administration infamously snatched and sent people to CIA black sites or third-party countries where they were detained for long periods of time, interrogated, and tortured. Many of those held in black sites were transferred to Guantanamo. Months after Obama stepped into office, his administration announced it would continue rendition but with more oversight. Sometimes referred to as "enforced disappearances", rendition violates international human rights standards.
The Obama administration did close CIA black sites. However, it has found other ways to continue rendition. In the al-Libi case, it merely substituted CIA black sites for a U.S. navy ship — the USS San Antonio — in the Mediterranean. There, al-Libi was interrogated by a "clean team" known as the High Value Detainee Interrogation Group — a special task force of interrogators from the Pentagon, FBI, CIA, and other agencies. He was not read his Miranda rights on the ship. One week later, after complaining of a medical condition that prevented him from being interrogated any longer, al-Libi was sent to the United States to stand trial. Even though al-Libi has been indicted by a U.S. federal court, what he told interrogators on the San Antonio is inadmissible in court. This is very similar to how details of detainees' treatment in U.S. custody, including torture they experienced, are classified with severe restrictions on discussing them in the Guantanamo military commissions. Even to the point where defense lawyers can't talk to their clients or reporters about the torture the detainees experienced.
Along with the bloody terrorist attack in Nairobi's Westgate Mall, the two raids signal how Africa is becoming the latest hotspot in the war on terror as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down. Although, last month, the Defense Department announced that nearly 9,000 troops will be deployed to Afghanistan this winter before the 2014 withdrawal. Already, the United States is funneling weapons to governments like Rwanda and Uganda, training African proxy forces — sometimes through private military contractors — and conducting secret surveillance missions. It also has drone bases in Ethiopia and the Seychelles and runs a secret prison in Somalia. Over the next 25 years, the Pentagon is pumping $1.2 billion to expand its base at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, which is a key hub for U.S. counterterrorism operations, including air and drone strikes, and military power projection throughout the Horn of Africa. Camp Lemonnier is the only permanent U.S. base in Africa. The Pentagon is also expanding bases in Manda Bay, Kenya; Entebbe, Uganda; Burkina Faso, and other military sites in Africa. Additionally, the U.S. Marine Corps is assigning three special operations battalions to the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, and Africa. The battalions will have "new training and missions", according to ArmyTimes.
What these raids ultimately signify is the Obama administration's continuation of rendition and expansion of the global war on terror into Africa.

Neal Francis Gleefully Mired In 70s Style Funk
By Jon Norton • Feb 1, 2019
Neal Francis playing keyboard on his new single "These Are The Days"

Chicago keyboard player Neal Francis said he was knocked out by rootsy New Orleans and Chicago music at a very young age.
"I just really love the rhythm," said Francis via Skype from the studio of Treehouse Records in Chicago, ahead of his Friday performance at Bloomington's Jazz UpFront. "You know … anything I heard off the television … I was just trying to mimic on the piano at the time."
He was four when he began playing.
"Then someone noticed I was gravitating toward blues and they suggested (listening to) Otis Spann and Pinetop Perkins," said Francis of the two pianists who played with Muddy Waters between 1952 and 1980, with Perkins handling the last 11.
That fascination went into overdrive when he fell into the teaching orbit of Erwin Helfer, another legendary Chicago pianist known for his stride and boogie-woogie styles. He first engaged the Chicago side as a touring musician when he hit the road with Mud Morganfield, son of Muddy Waters. Must have been some great conversations.
"Absolutely, he's a wealth of history himself. The guys he had in his band included a guy who had played with Muddy. Omar Coleman was another guy on the Chicago blues scene. They all taught me a lot about other guys to get into. I got way deeper into the music at that point because we were doing the Muddy Waters catalogue mostly. It got me deeper into that Otis Spann and Pinetop stuff," said Francis.
Crazy how life can come full circle. At one point he was also playing with drummer Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, another alum of Waters' band.
"And the first show I ever saw at age 12 was Pinetop Perkins at Rosa's Lounge in Chicago," said Francis.
Francis took that experience and his love of New Orleans, including Dr. John and Allen Toussaint to The Heard when he joined in 2012. The funky instrumental band is part of a resurgence of young bands featuring instrumental music based in jazz, but often with added textures including funk, blues, rock and soul.
"I never went to college, but Mike (Starr) and Taras (Horalewskyj) from the band fell in love with the music of the Meters early on. Independently I was a big fan of the Meters, so we bonded over that instrumental funk from the late 60's an early 70's. Then certainly listening to the bands that came before us, like the New Mastersounds gave us the idea we could do this. I think it's just a love of that sound … that raw combination of jazz and rock elements that became those early funk recordings that everyone is trying to mimic" said Francis of the now defunct band.
Francis was eventually booted out of the group for issues not uncommon among touring musicians. He's open about those addictions, and how he landed rock bottom and eventually found his way out. He said he's learned lessons, and as he readies to release the first album under his own name, he said music is now his drug of choice.
"These are the Days" is the debut single, and only song currently available from the album. The Dr. John influence is loud and clear on the mid-tempo New Orleans R&B track featuring horns and Francis' burning organ. It was recorded in Killion Sound in Los Angeles, a room he said he learned to trust his recording instincts.
"Just trusting the song and where it needed to be … knowing when to put my foot down and knowing when to be open to input from (producer) Sergio (Rios)" said Francis. "Sergio is fantastic. His suggestions were always really useful. I guess what I mean by trusting my instincts is trusting the songs. They were already written going into the studio, but I was still open to production suggestions by Sergio."
Legendary recording engineer/producer Steve Albini is in town the same day Francis plays Jazz UpFront. In a GLT conversation just days prior, Albini outlined his reasons for why he didn't think "producer" was the correct way to refer to his role in the studio. Albini believes it his job to technically bring to life the musical vision the artist brings to the studio. Francis said that style is similar to how he approached this recording.
"I played all the instruments on the demo, and those have their own vibe. Then bringing it to Sergio's studio, I knew what type of sound he was able to achieve and that's why I selected him a partner to work with. I knew it was going to sound like a 1973 vibe." said Francis.
"By the way, it's funny, it's funny you should mention Steve Albini. The worst job I ever worked in my life was right across the street from (Albini's) Electrical Audio, and I used to look through the fence and I'd be like 'damn, I need to be across the street right now'" he laughed.
Francis is feeling much better about himself today. The new album with that 1973 vibe conjures up a time when American musicians were fusing rock, funk, soul, jazz, blues and even folk into their sound and venues like the Fillmore West in San Francisco would book Jefferson Airplane, Muddy Waters, and Charles Mingus on the same bill.
"That's the type of party I want to create," said Francis.
Neal Francis plays Jazz UpFront in downtown Bloomington tomorrow night. Sara Quah will open the show. Music starts at 7 p.m.

Q: How does the this keyword work for an function expression and arrow function? Lately I've been reading 'The Secrets of JavaScript Ninja' by John Resig and I've reached listing 4.10 i.e "Binding a Specific Context to a Function" in which the code is meant to print when the button is clicked.
The author shows the code will run successfully only if an arrow function is used instead of the normal function expression. Why doesn't the code work fine with the function expression? and how does this keyword works?
Here is the code with the function expression:

function Button() {
  this.clicked = false;
  this.click = function() {
    this.clicked = true;
    if (button.clicked) {
      "The button has been clicked"
    };
  };
}
var button = new Button();
var elem = document.getElementById("test");
elem.addEventListener("click", button.click);
<button id="test">Click Me!</button>

and here's the code with the arrow function (which works flawlessly):

function Button() {
  this.clicked = false;
  this.click = () => {
    this.clicked = true;
    if (button.clicked) {
      console.log("The button has been clicked");
    }
  };
}
var button = new Button();
var elem = document.getElementById("test");
elem.addEventListener("click", button.click);
<button id="test">Click Me!</button>

A: You can run the following code.

function Button1() {
  this.clicked = false;
  this.click = function() {
    this.clicked = true;
 console.log('bt1',this);
    if (button1.clicked) {
      console.log("The button has been clicked 1");
    };
  };
}
function Button2() {
  this.clicked = false;
  this.click = () => {
    this.clicked = true;
 console.log('bt2',this);
    if (button2.clicked) {
      console.log("The button has been clicked 2");
    }
  };
}

var button1 = new Button1();
var button2 = new Button2();
var elem = document.getElementById("test");
elem.addEventListener("click", button1.click);
elem.addEventListener("click", button2.click);
<button id="test">Click Me!</button>

'this' is only a HTML in normal function.
if yuo use 'button1.click.bind(button1)', will run successfully.

A well-fitting mask is arguably your most important piece of diving gear, so take time to choose one that is right for you. There are many styles and designs to choose from, but above all you need one that fits correctly, and suits your personal diving requirements.
Human eyes cannot focus in water,which is why you have to wear a mask when diving. The way masks work is to trap a pocket of air in front of the eyes, allowing them to focus normally. A standard mask consists of a single or double panel of tempered glass inside a frame, with a silicone skirt forming an airtight seal against the face. A strap and buckles hold it all in place. If you take care of your mask and keep it in a sturdy case to avoid damage, it should last for many years. The lenses of new masks have a protective coating from the manufacturers that should be removed before use. This can be wiped off using a nonabrasive cloth and non-gel toothpaste (or a fine abrasive cleaner) to clean the coating off without scratching the glass. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure you rinse your mask in fresh water after use and store it away from direct sunlight in a dry place.
There are lots of shapes and sizes of mask, so take time to find one you like that fits. A simple test is to hold it up to your face and inhale gently through your nose. If you then lean forward, it should remain in place.
1. Hold the mask in front of your face with the strap hanging loose.
This is a slightly old-fashioned design, but it is still popular with photographers because it gives a clear view of the diver's face. It offers a good field of view, but its high internal volume of air makes clearing the mask a little harder.
Many new designs of mask are constructed to give the diver an extended field of view, especially downward. This model is a multi-lens design, which also allows corrective lenses of different strengths to be fitted.
Some divers prefer to use a mask with a black silicone skirt to avoid confusing reflections on the inner surface of the glass. This is especially useful to marine photographers. However, this feature does reduce peripheral vision.
Some designs offer improved peripheral vision through glass panels on either side of the main lens, but are still low-volume, so are easy to clear. When choosing, make sure that additional lenses do not distort perspective.
Mostly used in commercial diving, full-face masks are advantageous in very cold or polluted water. Some recreational models have intercom radio units so divers can communicate.
