ARTESIA — Artesia Police said the suspect in a deadly shooting on Tuesday is also suspected of shooting and killing a New Mexico State University student in 2015.
Daniel Aguilera, 22, is being charged with one count of murder, one count of aggravated burglary and one count of aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony in the death of 21-year-old Otis Chavez at a home on the 700 block of North 10th Street.
Aguilera is already facing a murder charge in the 2015 shooting death of New Mexico State University student Andres Rojo.
Rojo was shot and killed over the Fourth of July weekend in what investigators believed began as a physical confrontation at a home on the 1400 block of Yucca Avenue in Artesia.
Rojo's brother, 23-year-old Luis Rojo, was also injured in the shooting. He was treated at a Texas hospital and was reported to be in critical condition following the 2015 incident.
Aguilera, who faces an attempted murder charge in that incident as well, was arrested in September 2015 after evading arrest for two months.
Cmdr. Lindell Smith of the Artesia Police Department said Aguilera, "a violent felon" was out of prison for less than a year before allegedly committing another felony.
"He had a pretty significant bond and ultimately it was reduced. He posted it in March (2016) and he was out in March," Smith said.
According to the criminal complaint, Aguilera knocked on the door of the home where Chavez was staying around 1:30 a.m. Aguilera allegedly shot Chavez as he opened the front door.
Witnesses allegedly told police that Chavez made an attempt to escape to a bedroom inside the home where he managed to locate a gun and shoot Aguilera before collapsing.
Aguilera was reportedly injured in the latest incident. Smith said he is being treated at an El Paso area hospital where is being supervised by the El Paso Police Department.
Smith said Aguilera will be arraigned once he is released from the hospital.
Aguilera faces a maximum penalty of 28 years in prison if convicted of the charges, Smith said.

Two years from now, a deserving family of a United States Military Veteran will be the proud new owner of a beautiful new home that was just built. For the time being, though, that home is on display just outside Gate 4 of EverBank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team.
It's a showcase home for Dream Finders Homes and several trade partners, including USI First Choice Insulation. USI First Choice has been the energy efficiency solution provider to Dream Finders Homes since 2006. This year, Dream Finders Homes is forecast to build over 700 homes, and USI First Choice will provide the insulation solutions in every home.
The home is in the Fan Zone at Everbank Field and will be on display for 24 months, before it ultimately gets donated. During this time period, over 2.8 million people are expected to visit EverBank Field for events such as Jaguar home games, the Gator Bowl, Monster Truck Jam, Country Music Festival, US Soccer Match, and many other exciting events.
Covestro – formerly Bayer MaterialScience – donated the spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation used to help make the Stadium Home energy efficient. Covestro worked with SPF contractor USI First Choice to install Bayseal open-cell (OC) and Bayseal closed-cell (CCX) SPF insulation throughout the home. USI applied Bayseal CCX in the crawlspace to help reduce moisture buildup in hot, humid conditions. Bayseal OC is used in all perimeter walls and the roof deck to help reduce air leakage, which can account for up to 40% of the energy used to heat and cool a typical home.
Dream Finders Homes will keep the home at EverBank Field for 2 years and then have it moved off-site and donate it to a military veteran. Several of DFH's trade partners, including USI, all agreed to donate all labor and materials for this effort. Euneil Perez, Christian Reed, and Juan Perez all volunteered their time for this project. USI is honored to be a partner on this project. For more information about the home and to see more photos and video, visit the Stadium Home website.

This investigation compared language use and social interaction in children with autism receiving two forms of occupational therapy: occupational therapy using standard techniques, and occupational therapy incorporating animals. Twenty-two children between the ages of 7 and 13 received both forms of therapy in a school-based occupational therapy program for children with autism. Results suggest that the children demonstrated significantly greater use of language and significantly greater social interaction in sessions incorporating animals when compared to sessions using exclusively standard occupational therapy techniques. Findings are discussed in the context of recent research that has highlighted the importance of enhancing the motivation of children with autism to engage actively in therapeutic and learning processes.

Well, first of all I would like you to know that we are now living at the height of luxury.
That's right, we had the hole in our kitchen ceiling fixed. You know it's been there too long once you stop noticing it. We had a leak in the kids's bathroom in the fall that we had fixed before Thanksgiving I know because my parents came and used that bathroom. We had originally planned for Joe to patch the hole as he's quite handy. There is not much he and a youtube video can't fix. But no one was looking forward to that project while the kids were around so we decided to have it done professionally in January. And yet here we are in April. We honestly kept forgetting it was there. And then where did we put the number for the guy? And oh, Joe's out of town that week. Did the guy call us back? Anyway, today was the day. It's a beauty.
Secondly, I just have to tell you all that Joshua has continued to be a delight this week. I'm not sure if it's the warm(ish) weather, being back in school, or the processed snacks we have reluctantly given in to (especially Cheez-Its), but that boy has been so sweet and loving and interactive. In fact, this morning he was almost too cute to send to school. Almost.
But what I really want to talk about today is the joy we get from watching other people play with our boy. Of course we love watching all of our kids play with family and friends, but Joshua takes a little more work. Until someone mentioned it, I had no idea that some of our friends felt unsure around Joshua. As in they didn't know what to do. My reply to that is to treat Joshua like any other kid. We talk to him like our other two, even though he doesn't talk back. We tickle him, give high fives, wrestle, push cars around, run and jump, and he loves it all. I can't say every kid on the spectrum desires the interaction Joshua does (though he can't show it), but I am fairly certain that every parent with a special child wants their kid to be noticed and engaged with. It really blesses us to see people go the extra mile. Really, really blesses us. I CANNOT OVERSTATE THIS.
And I will tell you that once you put in the work Joshua will acknowledge it. We are thankful to belong to a small church. Or at least small compared to Texas mega church standards. It's a safe place for Joshua because many people know him and appreciate him for who he is. We have a new associate pastor whom we adore, and the other morning I couldn't find Joe to pass Joshua off when I needed to report for duty with the children's ministry. Seth was standing nearby and I asked him to walk Joshua to Joe. He grabbed his hand and as they were walking off. Seth looked down at Joshua and said,"Hey buddy! Do you know what my name is?" and I just started giggling because I imagined Seth wondering why this 4 year old was giving him the silent treatment. For some reason, this continues to tickle me to no end. Probably because I knew Seth is full of love and grace for Joshua, and has since gotten to know all of us better.
But I digress. The reason I brought up our church to begin with is to tell you about a friend of ours from church that worked on Joshua for months and was sweetly rewarded. We see Ed (or as I like to refer to him, Elder Beach) frequently not only at church but also at small group. Ed picked up on the fact that Joshua was drawn to him and always paid him lots of special attention. He held him, talked to him, and threw him around. One night, in the middle of their play, Joshua stopped and kissed him right on the mouth. We couldn't believe it! For a kid who doesn't make eye contact very often, this is a big deal. Ed hadn't asked for it, and Joshua had only recently started initiating kissing and just with mom and dad. He was showing his affection and thankfulness to Ed. To this day Ed is very proud of this, as he should be. Off the top of my head Matt and Mary are the only other non-family members to have received this honor. Matt months ago because he's Matt, and Mary last week after months of toil.
Because we don't live near them, the grandparents have to work extra hard. They come and go as frequently as possible, but Joshua needs persistence. He is finally starting to show that he remembers them and one day even kissed the phone when he heard Ami D's (Joe's mom) voice on the other end. Also, on Easter Joshua walked over to a photo of my Dad, Poppy, and started saying "Poppy, Poppy!" Again, we couldn't believe it.
We are so, so thankful to those of you that invest in Joshua's life. He (and we) are better for it. And to everyone I encourage you to be intentional with any special child in your life. It will bless them, it will bless their parents, it will bless YOU.

Penn State Trustee: "Running Out Of Sympathy For 35 Yr Old, So-Called Victims"
Kevin Draper

Ex-Penn State president Graham Spanier was found guilty of a misdemeanor charge of child endangerment last week, for his failure to act upon information from graduate assistant Mike McQueary that he'd witnessed Jerry Sandusky engaging in sexual activity with a boy in a campus shower. The conviction followed former Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and former senior VP Gary Schultz pleading guilty to similar charges.
With Joe Paterno dead, Sandusky in prison for the rest of his life, and three high-level former Penn State officials found to have committed crimes, now is probably a good time for Penn State the institution to do what it should've done years ago: Shut up, accept responsibility for having prioritized successful football over the welfare of children, and pledge to do better in the future.
Alas, doing so would go against everything we know about scandal-plagued athletics departments and academic institutions.
"Running out of sympathy for 35 yr old, so-called victims with 7 digit net worth," Penn State trustee Albert Lord wrote in an email to the Chronicle of Higher Education. "Do not understand why they were so prominent in trial. As you learned, Graham Spanier never knew Sandusky abused anyone."
Lord doesn't specify who these "so-called" victims are, but in this instance it's likely that he's referring to McQueary, who is 42, and won $12.27 million in damages from Penn State for wrongful termination, defamation, and improperly handling a whistleblower. After witnessing Sandusky abusing a child, McQueary first told his father, then Joe Paterno, Curley, and Schultz, who reported it to Spanier. McQueary testified at Spanier's trial, and is an object of derision for Penn State truthers.
"I am tired of victims' getting in the way of clearer thinking and a reasoned approach to who knew what and who did what," Lord told the Chronicle in a follow-up interview. "The notion that there can be only one point of view with respect to all this stuff, and trustees at Penn State should toe a line that reflects the politically correct point of view, is symptomatic of what ails us."
Curley and Schultz knew that Sandusky had been investigated by University police in 1998 over similar allegations, and Spanier received emails about it, though he denied having any knowledge of the case at his trial. Prosecutors revealed emails that showed the three discussed telling police that McQueary claimed to have witnessed Sandusky abusing a boy in the a shower—Curley even consulted with then-Penn State counsel Wendell Courtney, who said he should report it—but ultimately chose not to, instead barring Sandusky from bringing children onto campus and informing his charity, Second Mile.
"The only downside for us is if the message isn't 'heard' and acted upon," Spanier wrote in an email at the time. "We then become vulnerable for not having reported it."
Lord is one of Penn State's 38 trustees, and was elected directly by the school's over 650,000 alumni. He's the former CEO of loan giant Sallie Mae who "engaged in corporate rough and tumble" during his career, and was sought out to advise Spanier because "Graham knew that I'd had a bumpy but successful career."
Given a chance to respond to Lord's comments, the chair of Penn State's board refused to condemn them them at all, only distancing the Board from them. "Al Lord's comments are personal and do not represent the opinions of the board or the university," Ira M. Lubert said. "The sentiments of board and university leadership were expressed in the very first line of the statement released by Penn State: First and foremost, our thoughts remain with the victims of Jerry Sandusky."

Paul Nicholls is hoping the ground will be soft enough to enable Cyrname to take on Altior in the bet365 Celebration Chase at Sandown on April 27.
The possible match-up has been eagerly anticipated ever since Cyrname was given an official rating of 178, 3lb superior to the two-time Champion Chase winner Altior, after his 17-length romp in the Betfair Ascot Chase.
However, conditions would have to be suitable for Cyrname to try to end Altior's winning streak.
What a performance from CYRNAME! Absolutely destroys them at @Ascot!
Nicholls said: "Cyrname is fine, I mean obviously he hasn't run since he won at Ascot, but he looks great now. He just was a little bit flat a week or so ago but that's just him and he's back in full cry again now.
"The only option we have got is Sandown and that would be if the ground was right. We would like to see it slow, if its fast there's no way he'll run again.
"We would look after him and look forward to him next season because the King George is his aim and we will work back from that.
On the possible clash with Altior, Nicholls added: "It's a bit of a disadvantage for us going back to two miles because we obviously would like to go a little bit further, hence I'd love to run him if the ground was testing.
"He really is a two-mile-five/two-mile-six furlong horse, who will get three miles."
The Nicky Henderson-trained Altior will be bidding for his 19th successive triumph, edging him clear of legendary staying hurdler Big Buck's, with whom he shares the record for the most consecutive victories.
1⃣8⃣ wins in a row!
Connections had been hoping to run Altior at Aintree but in the end decided to go for the race he has won the last two years.
"I'd hoped to go to Aintree with him to be honest," said Henderson.
"I was pretty keen to up him in trip because I think everyone is saying, all he is doing is beating the same horses the whole time and he is never going to be called a champion until he's done something completely different."
On the showdown with Cyrname, Henderson added: "Paul's horse is obviously very good, he looks very, very smart especially round Ascot the other day.
"I think he's a very big threat, to the point where he's actually rated above us. It should be a cracking great race, it really should, a genuine Grade One. He's won it twice before but Paul seems to want to protect Big Buck's' record, why not, it will be good fun."
Henderson confirmed Altior will step up in trip next season.
"We will definitely try him over further next year just to try and I think he'll cope with it because he's such a relaxed horse, he's very, very professional through his races," said the Seven Barrows handler.

johnstaf
This is a fascinating 1974 NY Times review of Alicia de Larrocha's recording of Iberia.
The reviewer's suggestion that it isn't an "imperishable masterpiece" might seem strange today, but I think Señora de Larrocha's performances played a huge part in cementing the reputation of both Albeniz and Granados for the following generation.

Her 1974 recording of "Iberia" has always been my favorite, and I think it remains unmatched. Her Mozart concertos are also incredible.

I agree with the OP's evaluation of Iberia and think it's probably the greatest piano music by a Spanish composer. I do agree with the reviewer that at least some of the pieces in the suite are a bit too long.
I never really appreciated this piece until I heard selections from the suite played by the terrific pianist Jose Ramos-Santana at the Mannes Keyboard Festival over a period of several years.

Her first version, for Columbia in 1959, disappeared into monophonic oblivion some time ago; the second, on Epic eight years later, vanished along with that label's classical line; the third, a new London recording, has just appeared and may it always be with us (CSA 2235, two disks).
Mr. Davis claims that the Epic recording vanished, but at least one copy can be found in my cabinet. It's one of my most cherished recordings.

Alex Garland already has a sterling reputation as a filmmaker before his directorial debut, but in 2015 he created something truly special with Ex Machina. Now, two years later, he is back with his sophomore effort, Annihilation, and the earliest reactions suggest it will be just as well-regarded.
I was one of lucky individuals who had the opportunity to attend an early screening of Annihilation, and I'll kick things off with my own social media reaction to the film (full reviews are still under embargo). As you'll see, I absolutely loved the film, and you can expect me to be writing and talking about it a lot in the next 11 months.
But I am definitely not alone in my appreciation for the sci-fi film starring Natalie Portman, Oscar Isaac, Jennifer Jason-Leigh, Tessa Thompson and Gina Rodriguez. Erik Davis from Fandango also provided high praise, not only highlighting Annihilation's intelligence, but also its emotional impact.
Throwing in his two cents, Ben Pearson from Slash Film basically called this early social media response, and adds that there is a legitimate argument calling it a "masterpiece."
It's not often that February is seen as a big movie month, but both Annihilation and Black Panther will be arriving in theaters in the coming weeks with some seriously hot buzz supporting them. You will be able to see the former when it hits theaters on February 23rd, and be sure to stay tuned here on CinemaBlend for more of our coverage of the film!

Home / All / Helmut Newton. Legacy
Helmut Newton. Legacy
Virtually unparalleled in scope and spanning more than five decades, the photography of visionary Helmut Newton (1920–2004) reached millions through publication in magazines like Vogue and Elle. His creations transcended genres, bringing elegance, style, and voyeurism to fashion, portrait, and glamour photography through a body of work that remains as inimitable as it is unrivaled.
Having mastered the art of fashion photography early in his career, Newton's shoots invariably went beyond standard practice, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.
Newton's clear aesthetic pervades all areas of his work, particularly fashion, portraiture, and nude photography. Women take center stage – with subjects such as Catherine Deneuve, Liz Taylor, and Charlotte Rampling. Moving beyond traditional narrative approaches, Newton's fashion photography is imbued not only with luxurious elegance and subtle seduction but also with cultural references and a surprising sense of humor.

The design is based upon the world of the Saga of Recluce novels by Leland E. Modesitt Jr. In the tenth book of the series, The Magic Engineer, we meet the black mage and smith Dorrin whose order magic and innate engineering abilities lead to many adventures, even bringing the Isle of Recluce and the land of Candar to the brink of war, and finally to the first truce between the two lands. The obverse of the coin features an image of Dorrin at work, while the reverse depicts his first fighting ship, the Black Hammer, the ship that established the Isle of Recluce as a true world power and allowed the exiled Dorrin to return home in triumph. Many years later the Council of Recluce issued the Dorrin Copper in his honor.
This Dorrin Copper of the Isle of Recluce from the world of L. E. Modesitt, Jr. is struck from solid copper, measures 3.5 cm in diameter, and weighs about 13 grams. Coin artwork by Gary Carlisle.

Władimir Michajłowicz Kurski (ros. Владимир Михайлович Курский; ur. 18 grudnia 1897, zm. 8 lipca 1937) – komisarz bezpieczeństwa państwowego trzeciej rangi, wieloletni funkcjonariusz radzieckich organów bezpieczeństwa (kolejno: WCzK/GPU/OGPU/GUGB/NKWD), bliski współpracownik Nikołaja Jeżowa, na polecenie którego brał udział w tzw. czystce.

Pochodził z żydowskiej rodziny z Charkowa. Do I wojny światowej pracował jako zegarmistrz, a po jej wybuchu służył w armii rosyjskiej jako podoficer. Od 1917 roku był bardzo aktywny w ruchu bolszewickim i został członkiem Socjaldemokratycznej Partii Robotniczej Rosji (bolszewików). W latach 1917–1919 i wówczas trwającej wojny domowej w Rosji przebywał w guberni jarosławskiej, gdzie zajmował różne partyjne stanowiska kierownicze. Od 1919 do czerwca 1921 roku służył w Armii Czerwonej jako oficer polityczny.

Organy bezpieczeństwa – Ukraina, Kaukaz i Syberia
Swoją pracę w Czeka/OGPU/NKWD rozpoczął w czerwcu 1921 roku i kontynuował ją do 8 lipca 1937 roku, w latach 1936-37 był członkiem kręgu Nikołaja Jeżowa m.in. jednym z jego zastępców na którego polecenie organizował sfingowane procesy przeciwników reżimu stalinowskiego i masowych represji w ZSRR.

Stanowiska i funkcje jakie zajmował przez 16 lat służby organach bezpieczeństwa państwa, to m.in.:
od 1921 do 1922 roku asystent (pomocnik) następnie pełnomocnik (komisarz) w wywiadzie wojskowym (OO - Osobyj Otdieł) WCzK i komisarz Wydziału Kontrwywiadowczego (KRO), następnie zastępca szefa Wydziału Kontrwywiadowczego GPU. W 1922 roku został szefem Wydziału kontrwywiadu przy GPU Ukraińskiej SRR.

W latach 1922–1923 asystent szefa KRO Ukraińskiego GPU, następnie asystent szefa Wydziału Kontrwywiadowczego przy Pełnomocnym Przedstawicielstwie (PP) na Prawobrzeżnej Ukrainie. W maju 1923 roku został przeniesiony na północny Kaukaz gdzie przez następne 13 lat czyli do lipca 1936 roku pełnił różne stanowiska, jak: do 28 listopada 1929 roku zastępcy szefa KRO PP OGPU Północnego Kaukazkiego Kraju, w międzyczasie pełnił funkcje tymczasowo pełniącego obowiązki szefa (I/IV.1926) od 04.1926 do 1929 szefa Oddziału Wschodniego (organizacja i koordynacja zwalczania działań antyradzieckich i kontrwywiadowczych głównie we wschodnich rejonach Rosji) przy PP OGPU Północnego Kaukazkiego Kraju. Od 28 listopada 1929 do 31 marca 1931 roku na tym samym terytorium, był szefem Wydziału Kontrwywiadowczego przy PP OGPU a do 5 stycznia 1934 roku szefem Wydziału Specjalnego (kontrwywiad wojskowy) przy PP OGPU. W międzyczasie (31.03.1931 — 05.01.1934) był także szefem Oddziału Specjalnego OGPU przy Północnokaukaskim Okręgu Wojskowym (SKWO).

W maju 1934 roku doszło do reorganizacji organów bezpieczeństwa, czyli utworzenie NKWD ZSRR, w którego składzie znalazł się potężnie rozbudowany Główny Zarząd Bezpieczeństwa Państwowego w którego strukturę włączono większość jednostek byłego OGPU jak np. Wydział Specjalny, Tajny Wydział Polityczny itd.

Po nowych zmianach organizacyjnych które dotyczyły także terenowych organów, pierwszą funkcją Kurskiego w NKWD było stanowisko zastępcy szefa Zarządu NKWD (UNKWD) w Zachodnim Kaukaskim Kraju, którą objął 31 lipca 1934 roku i pozostał do 15 lipca 1936 roku, wówczas został przeniesiony na Syberię do Zachodniego Syberyjskiego kraju na stanowisko szefa tamtejszego Zarządu NKWD.

Moskwa, służba w centrali NKWD
W 1936 roku nowym szefem NKWD został Nikołaj Jeżow, który pozbył się współpracowników swojego poprzednika Gienricha Jagody w centrali i w terenie, aresztując, torturując i mordując ich w więzieniach NKWD w całym ZSRR. Z tego powodu powstały ogromne luki kadrowe w centralnym aparacie NKWD – Jeżow postanowił więc ściągnąć do Moskwy ludzi z terenu, doświadczonych w wieloletniej pracy operacyjnej czekistów, którym udało się przeżyć poprzez udział w czystkach Jeżowa, jednym z nich był Kurski.

Kurski został ściągnięty z Syberii do Moskwy do centrali NKWD w połowie 1936 roku, został mianowany komisarzem bezpieczeństwa państwowego III rangi i wyznaczony na stanowisko szefa Tajnego Oddziału Politycznego.

25 grudnia 1936 roku został mianowany szefem Wydziału IV, a 15 kwietnia 1937 zastępcą ówczesnego szefa GUGB NKWD Michaiła Frinowskiego i szefem Oddziału I GUGB NKWD, którego zadaniami były ochrona kierownictwa partii i rządu oraz korpusu dyplomatycznego. Został także p.o zastępcy Nikołaja Jeżowa ówczesnego szefa NKWD, lecz już 08 lipca 1937 roku został zdjęty z tych stanowisk.

Ostatnim stanowiskiem, jakie zajmował w GUGB był szef Wydziału 3.

8 lipca 1937 najprawdopodobniej popełnił samobójstwo. Niektóre źródła jako powód samobójstwa podają, iż nie chciał przyjąć proponowanego mu przez Stalina stanowiska szefa NKWD. Na pełnionym wówczas stanowisku został zastąpiony przez Aleksandra Minajew-Cikanowskiego jako p.o.

I entered into the planning for this year's backpacking trip with friends with some trepidation. They wanted to do a coastal trip and we have always talked about venturing into the Olympic peninsula so why not put together a 5 day trip along the coast. This area has been referred to as the "Wilderness Trail". Of course in the last year I have had a fabulous experience on the West Coast Trail and a harrowing experience on the Lost Coast Trail, so I was not in need of another coastal trip.
Plus the planning and logistics tend to be my responsibility so I knew dealing with permitting through a National Park and coordinating transportation to this part of the northwest could be a real pain. But the rewards of coastal backpacking are worth the effort.
My other worry related to the unexpected difficulty in hiking on the coast. You will have extreme obstacles, you will navigate low tide passages and you will slip and fall. My greatest worry did relate to the slip and fall and thankfully we did not have a trip altering mishap, however, there may be some surgery required to repair some body damage.
Working with the Olympic National Park permitting process did have me concerned, but I was pleasantly surprised to connect with caring parks service employees who helped me put together a successful itinerary that started at the Makah Shi Shi trailhead with an exit at Rialto Beach. 33 miles in 5 days is not a backpacking challenge anywhere except along a rugged wilderness coastline. Getting past low tide required points did not prove to be a real problem although it does dictate your schedule. Climbing up and over inland passages via the help of ropes was fairly cool. Taking in the breathtaking views justifies everything.
Normally we like to travel to our trailhead the night before and have a serious meal with beverages, wake up to a hearty breakfast and then hit the trail. Of course that is because we would always do a backpacking loop. This trip was a point to point which requires dealing with a shuttle. My buddies borrowed bear canisters at the Quinault Forest Ranger Station which was sort of on the way to the Rialto Beach car drop. Parking at Rialto is all part of the Olympic National Park services, parking at Shi Shi requires a nightly fee paid to one of the local private parking options.
And then there is the 2 hour drive between the trailheads. So on Monday, August 1st, all worked out to get us on the trail in time to knock off about 4 miles and set up camp at the south end of Shi Shi beach.
This week brought us the lowest and highest tides of the season but unfortunately the low tide for Tuesday was at 6:06 and we needed to get past a number of difficult passages beginning with Point of the Arches. Based on the map and information from other trip reports I concluded that Tuesday was going to be our most difficult, and it was.
The combination of rocky low tide only passages, rope climbing to get to inland passages and dangerous boulder hopping, we all agreed that this stretch from Point of the Arches to North of the Ozette River was the most challenging.
Wednesday morning we were again forced to get on the trail early to wade across the Ozette River and pass a number of low tide points as we round Cape Alava.
Wednesday was a sunny day with more easy beach walking then boulder hopping which we utilized to recharge our tired bodies. Our campsite on the Sand Point beach allowed for a serious beach campfire to watch the sun fall into the ocean. We actually had cellular access at the point although very limited.
The next day took us past Yellow Banks and Norwegian Memorial to camp at Cedar Creek. Another beautiful day of hiking with plenty of amazing scenery, but plenty of difficult footing. It was also a day of fog rolling in out of nowhere and then burning off. The Cedar Creek campsite turned out to be very nice with the added uniqueness of a fully exposed Privy with an ocean view.
By now on our trip we had sustained some injuries, one in our party did injure his shoulder on a fall but nothing serious enough to hold us up. But I would like to emphasize that coastal hiking is not all perfect beaches. Here are some photos showing some of the hazards.
The final night's campsite between Chilean Memorial and Hole-In-The-Wall was again awesome sleeping on the sandy beach. We never really had any great sunsets but we had plenty of sun silhouettes. Plus we typically had amazing tidepools (see slide show) to explore every night. The Sea Anemone in the rock was particularly unique.
The final hike out took us past Hole-In-The-Wall and Split Rock.
Overall the trip was another Epic adventure for old guy backpackers. I wish that it was more remote, but it is good that day hikers do have access. If you want a great coastal backpacking experience the Olympic Coast is a great option, but the ultimate coastal trip would still be the West Coast Trail.

Blog 2011 July Casey Anthony Not Guilty
Previous Post | Next Post
Casey Anthony Not Guilty
Posted By Imhoff & Associates || 11-Jul-2011
On July 5, 2011, an Orlando jury at the Orange County Courthouse found defendant Casey Anthony not guilty of first degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child regarding charges filed against her in 2008 regarding the death of her two year old daughter, Caylee Anthony. She was convicted of four lesser misdemeanor crimes of providing false information to law enforcement officers. If Casey had been convicted of first degree murder, should could have faced the death penalty in Florida. Judge Belvin Perry sentenced her to the maximum four year sentence for her misdemeanor convictions of lying to authorities. He denied the defense's request to combine the misdemeanor counts into one which could have meant that she would have been released immediately. She was given time served and good behavior and is expected to be released on July 17, 2011. An unnamed juror who was interviewed after the decision said the reason the jury found Casey not guilty of the more serious crimes of murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter is that the prosecutors failed to show how Caylee was murdered.
The circumstances surrounding the case began when Cindy Anthony reported her granddaughter, Caylee Anthony missing on July 5, 2008. Casey Anthony was arrested on July 16, 2008 on circumstantial evidence and charged in October of 2008 with first degree murder. In December of 2008, almost six months after Caylee was reported missing, police investigators found parts of the decomposed body of Caylee with duct tape in the woods near the Anthony residence. It was established by the prosecution and admitted by the defense team, that Casey Anthony lied to sheriff deputies about working at Universal Studios, about employing a nanny that took care of Caylee and that the nanny, whose name was Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez took the child (it was later determined that no such person existed, about telling two imaginary people Caylee was missing and about receiving a telephone call from Caylee the day prior to when she was reported missing). Photos were presented showing Casey at a Florida nightclub partying with friends prior to the child being reported as missing.
At trial, Casey's lead defense attorney Jose Baez claimed that Casey had lied to cover up the family tragedy that Caylee had accidentally drowned in her grandparents George and Cindy Anthony's pool. He also claimed that Casey did not tell the truth because she was frightened of her father George Anthony, who her attorney Baez claimed started molesting Casey at age eight. Baez also claimed that Casey's brother might be Caylee's father, and that the meter reader who found Caylee's remains may have moved them. None of these allegations were ever proven. Casey's defense team was able to raise enough reasonable doubt about the duct tape that showed no evidence of Casey's DNA on it, which prosecutors argued was allegedly used to suffocate Caylee. They also raised doubt about conflicting testimony regarding the odor inside the Anthony car. It had not been established whether it was a decomposing body or trash left in the car. The prosecutors did not clarify why chloroform was so important to the case.
The case became one of the most watched and talked about cases since the O.J. Simpson murder trial and attracted a crowd of spectators and national and international media coverage. In fact, outside the courthouse the day the verdict was read, people expressed their outrage that justice had not been served for Caylee. Casey Anthony could profit from the case by selling her story to publishers, filmmakers or by signing a television contract.
If you are arrested for murder, aggravated child abuse or aggravated assault of a child, these are serious crimes. Depending on your state laws, you could face the death penalty or life in prison if convicted of first degree murder. You should hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to defend you. The attorney can argue such defenses as circumstantial evidence or lack of evidence, mistaken identity, self defense or defense of others to either create enough reasonable doubt to get you acquitted or have the charges dismissed or reduced to a lesser crime.

Are City of Toronto Vision Zero Funding Efforts Enough to Make Our Roads Safer?
By Matthew J. SuttonAssociate
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Share on Google+ Share By Email
Are City of Toronto Vision Zero funding efforts enough to make our roads safer? That's the question being asked of Toronto council lately as the number of collisions are on the rise.
On November 21, 2019 the Toronto Police Services Board, at the behest of Police Chief Mark Saunders, took its first real step in funding a plan to combat the increasing number of collisions in the City of Toronto causing either death or serious injury.
In 2013 the City of Toronto began to see an increase in traffic fatalities culminating in 2016 with 78 people killed that year. Prior to then, from 2005 – 2012, traffic fatalities averaged 47 people per year.
This increase resulted in the City of Toronto Vision Zero Road Safety Plan, a five-year plan running from 2017 – 2021 developed by Toronto Transport Services in conjunction with partnering agencies. This was followed by a revised version — "Vision Zero 2.0" — which will now receive $1 Million in dedicated annual funding as supported by Mayor John Tory and The Toronto Police Services Board.
The City of Toronto Vision Zero plan is conceived on the principles of the original Vision Zero project developed in Sweden in the 1970s to reduce collisions by targeting collisions causing death and serious injury in city centres. The Vision Zero concept has proved quite successful with major cities around the world adopting its approach.
Vision Zero is a very "aggressive but critical" plan that makes recommendations to increase pre-existing safety mechanisms while continually seeking to add new initiatives. It focuses on accidents causing death or serious injuries and prioritizes safety by creating safe roads, slowing speeds, improving vehicle design, educating people, enforcing laws and keeping safe behaviour on the road.
City of Toronto Vision Zero
The additional funding to the City of Toronto Vision Zero program is a welcomed response by most, but some feel it is insufficient and will fail to make a significant impact on the increased number of collisions in the City.
Based on previous initiatives to reduce collisions in Toronto, it appears that a dedicated traffic and enforcement team should lead to a reduction in collisions.
Between 2003 and 2012, the City implemented a "Strategic Targeted Enforcement Measures" (STEM) program team, and during that time there was a clear increase in provincial offence tickets with a corresponding clear decrease in collisions. In 2012, before the dedicated traffic enforcement STEM program team was disbanded for example, there were approximately 50,000 collisions; by 2018 the number of collisions was up to approximately 80,000.
Toronto Vision Zero Dedicated Funding
A motion carried on November 21, 2019 will see a separate line item in the annual budget of $1 million allocated to funding for the hiring of six to seven additional police officers who will work dedicated shifts dealing specifically with traffic offences. These officers would target intersections that are known to have high collision rates and will collect data for further study.
Those not in support of the program feel that $1 million for six to seven additional officers is simply not enough to combat the increasing number of collisions in the City.
The implementation of this program would arguably result in a substantial decrease in collisions, but the cost to taxpayers for a fully effective program would be in the multiples of millions of dollars.
Those who do not support the program suggest police are better utilized in other more pressing areas, such as safety against increased gun violence, and that our funding should be directed towards those issues.
These concerns were addressed by Mayor Tory and the Toronto Police Services Board at the November 21, 2019 meeting when Mayor Tory specified that funding dedicated to Toronto Vision Zero would not change or reduce funding of police efforts to address other important measures and initiatives, such as combating increased gun violence.
Other important notes from this meeting apparent to me were:
Everyone agreed the increase in collisions is a substantial and serious issue that needs to be addressed.
An understanding that the $1 million in funding must be specifically provided for the purposes of a dedicated traffic enforcement team (and not thrown in with the police budget for other possible uses).
Toronto Vision Zero Takeaways
According to the Vision Zero report, 31% of travellers in the City of Toronto and East York are pedestrians. These pedestrians are at greater risk of personal injury in our modern world of increased distractions both in and out of our vehicles.
It is a serious concern when our police acknowledge they do not have the time to handle traffic matters because they are handling more pressing and serious calls.
Since 2012 less traffic enforcement has led to an unfortunate increase in collisions. Drivers have stopped worrying about the rules of the road.
As personal injury lawyers, we at Thomson Rogers are optimistic that these important conversations and frightening stats will lead to additional funding in the future. Every day we see victims of motor vehicle accidents, and for these victims, their families and friends, if this targeted funding prevents even one serious injury or fatality it would be worthwhile.
Dedicated traffic enforcement at highly dangerous and high-risk intersections will result in more tickets being issued and more drivers being made aware that there are ramifications for being distracted while driving, running a red light or speeding and ignoring the rules of the road.
It was an educational process for me to review the Toronto Vision Zero Road Safety Plan and the process of determining how money should be allocated for important measures within our City. And though any funding is better than no dedicated funding at all, this dedicated $1 million should only be the start for Toronto Vision Zero.

Mane outperforming Ronaldo & Klopp fastest to 400 points – 5 key stats from Chelsea 0-2 Liverpool
Henry Jackson
Liverpool saw off Chelsea with consummate ease at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, with several eye-catching statistics emerging from the 2-0 win.
The Reds were handed a tough test against a Blues side aiming big this season, but their superiority shone through from minute one.
Andreas Christensen was sent-off for a foul on Sadio Mane just before half-time and from that point on Liverpool never looked back.
Mane scored twice early in the second half to put the visitors in control, and while Alisson did have to save a Jorginho penalty, victory always felt guaranteed.
Thiago's eye-catching debut from the substitutes' bench earned plenty of column inches, not least because the Spaniard broke a Premier League record, completing the most passes (75) in a 45-minute spell since records began in 2003.
That wasn't the only intriguing stat on show, however – here are five more that stood out on a successful afternoon for Jurgen Klopp's champions.
Mane Outperforming Ronaldo
Mane has been one of the undoubted superstars of the Klopp era and his impact was enormous again on Sunday afternoon.
The Senegalese bagged his first goals of the campaign and in the process ensured that his record in the Premier League is actually better than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Both players have now made a total of 196 appearances in England's top flight, but Mane has 86 goals to his name, compared to Ronaldo's 84.
It highlights just how special Liverpool's No.10 is, especially when you consider how unplayable Ronaldo was in a Man United shirt for several years.
Jamie Carragher has hinted that Mane could eventually overtake John Barnes on the left wing in an all-time Reds XI – that might be a good prediction.
Klopp Fastest to 400
Klopp has masterminded another strong start to the season, allaying fears that Liverpool would fall away after their title-winning heroics.
Sunday's victory means the German has now reached 400 points in the league, as his legendary spell as manager continues.
To sum up Klopp's brilliance, he is the fastest Liverpool boss to reach that milestone, taking just 184 matches to do it, at an average of 2.17 points per game.
Sir Kenny Dalglish is second, achieving the feat in 197 games, while Bob Paisley (206) sits in third place.
Remember when the naysayers were comparing Klopp's record with Brendan Rodgers, using it as a stick to beat him with? Life comes at you fast!
Reds Enhance Reputation as Fast Starters
There was a time when Liverpool fans feared the opening few games of the season, often dropping points and immediately giving themselves ground to make up in the title race.
A defeat at Tottenham on the opening day of 2009/10 springs to mind, as does a deeply frustrating draw away to Middlesbrough in 2005/06 – a season that saw the Reds draw four of their first five matches.
For the first time in their history, #LFC have won the opening two league games in three consecutive seasons. Previous seasons with back to back wins in opening two games were 1972-1973, 1988-1989 and 1994-1995.
— LFC Match by Match (@LFCMbM) September 20, 2020
Under Klopp, however, Liverpool have become ruthlessly efficient starters, beginning with a bang and putting pressure on their rivals.
Sunday's win means the champions have now won their opening two league games three years running – something that has never happened before at Anfield.
This team just love breaking records.
Alisson's Penalty Woes End
Alisson has been an unbelievable signing for Liverpool, standing out as one of the world's leading goalkeepers.
If there has been one slight weakness, though, it has been the Brazilian's inability to save penalties, as shown during last month's Community Shield defeat to Arsenal.
When Jorginho stepped up on Sunday, there was no great confidence in Alisson keeping it out, especially as the Chelsea midfielder was yet to miss for the Blues.
Liverpool's No.1 got down quickly and saved Jorginho's effort, however, recording the first penalty save of his Reds career, admittedly having only faced three in normal time.
What a 'keeper.
Thiago's Other Passing Record
From the moment Thiago first touched the ball against Chelsea, he was a joy to watch.
It brought back memories of Xabi Alonso's debut at Bolton in 2004, when the Spaniard ran the show from midfield, albeit in defeat.
As mentioned, Thiago broke one record in his first outing, but his performance was about much more than short-range passes and playing it safe.
? More successful passes (75) in 45 minutes than any Chelsea player managed in 90
? The most ever by a Premier League player who played a maximum of 45 mins
? His 10 long balls are now the most by an outfield player this season
Thiago ?? pic.twitter.com/lNZlLK68lw
— The Anfield Wrap (@TheAnfieldWrap) September 21, 2020
The 29-year-old completed 10 long balls overall, which is the most by any outfield player in this season's Premier League so far.
Granted, Chelsea were down to 10 men when he came on – there will be sterner examinations ahead – but the early evidence suggests Liverpool have signed a sensational footballer.

Standard buses, NoCs gain greater attention as complexity of chip design increases.
The world is still full of engineers who can build fast interconnects to things like PCI Express or USB 2.0 who can create complex schematics for determining the connections between a processor core, memory, logic and various IP blocks on a piece of silicon. But over the next several years, many of those engineers will have to figure out new ways to make a living.
The number of companies that are jumping into pre-configured interconnect strategies—either through existing bus structures such as AMBA or the emerging network on chip approach—is growing rapidly. This is the latest trend in the disaggregation of the supply chain for systems on chip, using pre-configured approaches or high-level flexibility to plug in third-part components instead of developing everything in-house.
Complexity is making it harder to keep track of the interconnects, particularly in devices where there are multiple cores and multiple power islands that can be turned on and off.
Smaller staffs with targeted resources, or even the same size staff with more complex demands, are forcing design teams to put their resources where they can make a competitive difference rather than re-inventing something that is good enough and which adds no value.
Market windows are forcing companies to rethink their make vs. buy decisions, which is driving decisions about everything from intellectual property to restrictive layouts.
One of the earliest standardized approaches to solving interconnects was the bus approach, and it remains popular in many chip designs today. ARM rolled out the Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) in 1996. AMBA is now in its third generation, with significantly improved speed over the first iteration. IBM developed its own CoreConnect standard for its Power chip architecture.
For chip developers, the nice thing about both bus architectures is that they're free and well documented. AMBA 3.0 actually includes five different bus interfaces, most notably the Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB), which permits such things as burst transfers and split transactions, and the Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI), which focuses on addressing and data phases. CoreConnect, meanwhile, includes a processor local bus, an on-chip peripheral bus and a device control register bus.
The advantage—and the disadvantage—of buses is that they're hard-wired through a crossbar switch. While that guarantees a connection, there are fairly regimented ways of making those connections. For example, you can't just connect a 32-bit IP core with a 64-bit interface without a converter, and you can't just match up components with different frequency without using a clock converter.
They're also a way of adding re-usability for IP, which is why Xilinx is now adding support for the AMBA bus architecture in its FPGAs—the last of the major FPGA vendors to support AMBA (both Actel and Altera have supported AMBA for years, while Xilinx backed the IBM CoreConnect approach). One of the attractive things about AMBA is its support for IP-XACT, the IP interoperability standard created by the SPIRIT Consortium (now part of Accellera).
Decoupling of all those pieces allows a much more flexible design, and both Sonics and Arteris have been pitching the value of different NoC approaches. Sonics joined forces with Synopsys in June to create a pre-configured IP block that includes a memory scheduler and Synopsys' Designware protocol controller IP. Arteris upped the ante in the NoC world in August, rolling out a peripheral NoC that instantly connects timers, USB, infrared interfaces and audio and touch-screen components.
That's particularly useful from an architectural level when not all the functions or connectivity that ultimately will be required are known. In some cases, new standards or interfaces are completed before a chip reaches tapeout, and having the flexibility to add onto the design at a later stage is invaluable—particularly when the design will be used for a series of derivative chips.
ARM, meanwhile, is hedging its bets on both the bus and NoC. While it continues to update and support AMBA, its QoS now supports both, according to Dimelow.


The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum is gearing up to host its Teen Design Fair during National Design Week. Partner Emanuela Frigerio will participate in the event on Monday, October 19th (4 to 6:30 PM at the TimesCenter, 242 W 41st Street in Manhattan). It will be her third time at the event. Each year, the Museum gives students a chance to talk to prominent designers in small, intimate groups where they can ask questions about career possibilities in design. This year, over 400 high school students will be attending to hear about graphic design, fashion, industrial design, architecture and multimedia. Speakers are frequently drawn from past National Design Award winners and nominees; the partners of the firm were 2007 National Design Award finalists.


The Netherworld (冥界, Meikai, lit. "Realm of the Dead") is supposedly the land where ghosts and souls reside after death. The location was first revealed in the second interview, probably based on the Netherworld from the Touhou Project.
The Netherworld is a part of Mugenri rather than separated from it. Save for a few exceptions, one's soul will get led to the Netherworld to be judged for 49 days, where after receiving its due punishment, shall proceed to its next life via reincarnation.
The Netherworld was referenced in the pre-dated game Emergency Everyday: When Shinkuu turned into a vengeful spirit, he astral-projected himself and latch on to Big Boss. This saved him from going to the Netherworld.

Christoph Blanck (auch: Blank, Plancus; * um 1480 in Ulm; † 19. März 1541 in Wittenberg) war ein deutscher Rechtsgelehrter.

Leben
Blanck immatrikulierte sich am 9. März 1499 an der Universität Tübingen, wechselte 1501 an die Universität Wien, ging am 16. Juni 1502 an die Universität Ingolstadt und im Wintersemester 1504/05 an die Universität Wittenberg. Hier lernte er Christoph von Scheurl kennen, der ihn auch finanziell unterstützte. Er  erwarb sich am 5. November 1515 den Grad eines Lizentiaten der Rechte und übernahm ein Lehramt an der juristischen Fakultät. Am 29. September 1516 wurde er deren Dekan und Prokurator im kleinen Chor der Wittenberger Schlosskirche.

Als in der Folge der Wittenberger Bewegung 1524 die Pfründen der Scholastiker an der Wittenberger Schlosskirche aufgelöst wurden, setzte bei ihm ein Gesinnungswechsel zur lutherischen Interpretation des Glaubens ein. Daher beteiligte er sich auch an den durchzuführenden Reformen der Wittenberger Akademie,  übernahm im Oktober 1525 die Vermögensverwaltung der Schlosskirche und wurde im Sommersemester 1531 Rektor der Universität und 1536 Vermögensverwalter der Wittenberger Akademie. Die Finanzen verwaltete er bis zu seinem am 2. Mai 1540 angetretenen Ruhestand. Er starb an den Folgen einer  fehlerhaften Diät während einer fiebrigen Erkrankung. Blanck war häufig bei den Tafelrunden Martin Luthers zugegen, und selbst nach seinem Tod rühmte ihn Philipp Melanchthon nach als "amicus noster".

Diplomatist > Science & Technology > Home Featured > Artificial Intelligence: A New driving horse in International Relations and Diplomacy
by Preethi Amaresh - 13 May, 2020, 12:00 11450 Views 0 Comment
Significant advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) over the past decade have led to many debates about the potential social, economic, and security impact of AI. However, little sustained attention has been paid to the impact of AI on international relations or how the technology impacts the work of the country's ministries, government leaders and policymakers. McCarthy, a popular American computer scientist coined the word AI in 1956 and defined it as "The science and engineering of making intelligent machines like the intelligent computer programs". The inception of deep learning and neural networks in the late 1990s induced a new wave of interest in AI and growing positivity in the possibility of implementing it to a number of activities, including diplomacy.
In AI, foreign relations and global security are considered to be the present hotbeds. Even as noted physicist Stephen Hawking and technology entrepreneur Elon Musk, predicted the danger of AI and the end of the human race due to the development of AI, advances in AI have put new topics on the international agenda, challenged geostrategic relations, served as a tool for diplomats and negotiators, and created new opportunities and concerns about human rights. Diplomacy is homogenous to a strategic board game. A nation tends to make a move and the other nations respond but in a way, all nations want to triumph. AI is considered a top-notch at board games. AI has in fact defeated world champions in Chess in a go. For instance, in the year 1997, world chess champion, Gary Kasparov was defeated by IBM supercomputer Deep Blue. Recently, an AI program developed by Carnegie Mellon University in association with Facebook AI defeated the leading professionals in Texas hold'em poker that is considered to be the world's most popular form of poker. The development of AI technology is central to the economical aspect, which has the capacity to reshuffle losers and winners.
The AI revolution is considered to be more powerful than the industrial revolution due to the fact that it has inundated the personal lives of the people apart from impacting the industries. However, it is observed that the industrial revolution had a great impact on International relations and trade that increased the economic productivity in western countries such as United States and United Kingdom. The countries during the first industrial revolution competed to control resources like coal and oil. During the 1970s and 1980s, with the IT revolution, electronics and microprocessors brought a big trend of innovation that gave birth to the Internet, GPS etc. The search for AI has travelled through phases of hope and despair since the 1950s. It was only post-2000 that AI has been predicted to bring in more developments for the near future. AI has been a much-debated topic today and is predicted to become one of the major technologies of the 21st century that could influence the way international relations is conducted and offer tools in diplomacy and foreign policy.
The multidimensionality of the present AI and machine learning is already seen to have a fervent impact on how nations manage their international affairs. Though AI is yet to make its way in the Indian foreign policy agenda, China has already introduced an AI foreign policy toolbox and has its "New Generation Plan" to be the world leader in AI by 2030. Countries such as Russia, Canada and the United States are also good examples of how the AI revolution has made its way into its foreign ministry. Russian government stated that AI would determine the future "rule of the world". U.S president, Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish the "American AI initiative".
Toolbox for AI in foreign policy involves policy-making, public diplomacy, bilateral and multilateral engagement, Information gathering and analysis. AI has also become a chief instrument in international diplomacy in areas such as international security, use of autonomous weapon systems, monitoring of concluded agreements, military power like cyber-security, threat monitoring and warfare. With respect to AI and foreign policy of China, politicians, researchers and bureaucrats in China have come up with an idea to think of AI as an assistant in their everyday decision-making that can give inputs, suggestions and recommendations within a matter of seconds. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has built machine-learning algorithms that are being implemented and used in the Ministry of foreign affairs. According to state news agency Xinhua, Chinese President Xi Jinping also has "called for efforts to break a new ground" in diplomacy. China that aspires to be a superpower in the field has moved ahead in AI by placing foreign affairs and diplomacy on its table apart from working on other technologies. The ministries in China are actively adapting to the emerging technology trend by exploring the use of AI for improvement and work reinforcement. The geopolitical environment simulation machine and prediction platform were used to examine nearly all-foreign investment projects in recent years. The machine uses a neural network and deep learning for risk assessment and prediction of events like terrorist attacks, political turmoil and much more with encouraging solutions.
The Chinese government has already been facing various challenges on how other countries view it due to its high ambitions. The 'Belt and Road' initiative needs billions of investment every year that would have an impact on the economic, environmental and political situations in the world. The government believes that AI would help them to make decisions in international affairs and diplomacy that would be free from human emotions. Though the AI in China is far from replacing the human diplomats and government officials, it is certainly an addition to the various technologies the government is constructing to position AI in society. Zhang Lili, a professor at China Foreign Affairs University, states that foreign-policy makers must embrace AI as a powerful tool that might help in taking their work to a new and a different level. China, on the whole, has also been very optimistic about announcing robots for various purposes and AI-powered strategy for international relations including efforts to incorporate it into its military that has continued to alarm the U.S and the rest of the world.
The government of Canada has also laid the foundation for various initiatives such as digital inclusion labs that have been associated with governmental units and civil society. Global Affairs Canada has started to promote 'Canadian AI' abroad. Canada has invested C125$ million in the Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy by setting up a research congregation in Montreal, Toronto and Edmonton to nourish Canada's edge in AI. The Canadian document on the 'Asia Strategy on AI' could be a gateway for the country's greater engagement in the Asia Pacific with regard to people to people diplomacy, geopolitics, investment and trade. Canada is instrumental in the region's development policy as an accountable global player.
As per the U.S department's Strategic Plan of Information Technology for 2017-2019, American diplomats are using powerful AI technology in order to make policy changes, enhance transparency and promote awareness. The U.S as an international leader in the new era of AI has been innovative in bringing changes in the fields of government and industry. The AI policies are aimed to understand the promise for the American people and maintain the U.S leadership in the following field. According to the Centre for a New American Security report, there is a great potential for AI in national security-related areas, which also includes international relations and governance. As per the report, AI could help in bridging the communication gaps between foreign publics and governments by decreasing the barriers in language between countries, assisting international humanitarian operations by monitoring elections, reinforce the security of diplomatic missions and so on.
Europe's coordinated plans aim to ensure that public administrations in Europe are global leaders in the use of AI. Many other nations are still conducting similar research in AI in the policy-making fields, though the details haven't been yet disclosed to the public. India's AI strategy was only rolled out in 2018 to enable growth and greater inclusion but India.
In foreign policy and AI, there has been convergence of areas such as democracy and ethics, economic disruption and security. But, transformational changes are yet to occur in diplomatic institutions that in the due course would meet the challenges further. Foreign policy has been transforming as countries are turning to algorithms to predict events that can shift the world of business and geopolitics. For many years, a team in Japan has been working on a system to predict rate changes by the Bank of Japan where the system observes speeches by the bank's governor to learn about his body language and facial expressions. Based on this observation, AI can predict further the governor's next moves. There is a possibility of using similar AI to analyze world leaders and make predictions. For example, after watching a meeting between the leaders of India and China, AI could predict if tensions could arise with each other in the coming weeks or months or predict if countries like Myanmar, Pakistan, Iran or Yemen could avoid a political turmoil or conflict before it begins. Equipped with predictions, nation-states and non-state actors may have to deal with international affairs in brand-new and unforeseen ways through AI.
Research and implementation on using AI in foreign policy is yet to develop. Government and non-state actors should carefully consider monitoring the developments in AI technologies and markets keeping in mind the humanitarian goals. Great powers like the U.S, Russia and China have already begun to pursue AI strategies by competing against each other and other nations that could possibly disrupt the balance of power in the world. Lack of AI knowledge could endanger the under-developed and developing nations and could lead to a technological gap that can make these nations to further depend on AI dominated countries. AI knowledge and expertise should be spread across the globe and to the whole masses to avoid the imbalance of power and polarization.
Lastly, as countries in the 21st century move further in the AI revolution, it definitely has the potential to reshape the foundation of the global order. But just like the industrial revolution and IT revolution, AI brings with it, various pros and cons along with the challenges and complexities of replacing humans with robots in the field of International relations and diplomacy. Predominantly, AI is already having an extensive influence on the global economy and international relations and could further revamp the way International relations and diplomacy is conducted in the coming decades.
