Ester (Etty) Hillesum, född 15 januari 1914 i Middelburg, Nederländerna, död 30 november 1943 i Auschwitz, var en nederländsk lärare, författare och mystiker. Under den tyska ockupationen började hon skriva dagbok och brev, som beskrev hennes andliga uppvaknande och förföljelsen av judar. Hillesum blev offer för Förintelsen i Auschwitz och mördades 1943. Hennes dagboksanteckningar publicerades postumt i Nederländerna  1981.

Biografi
Etty Hillesum var äldst av tre barn. Fadern Levie (Louis) Hillesum, född 1880, som tillhörde en holländsk judisk familj, var lärare och undervisade i klassiska språk i Middelburg. Modern Rebecka (Riva), född Bernstein 1881 i Potchev, Ryssland, hade flytt till Nederländerna efter en pogrom i Ryssland. Ettys bror Jakob (Jaap), född 1916, blev läkare. Brodern Michael (Mischa), född 1920, var ett musikaliskt geni. År 1924 flyttade familjen till Deventer i östra Nederländerna, där fadern fått en tjänst på gymnasiet. Det finns ett fotografi bevarat från Deventer när Etty är 17 år.

Utbildning
Hillesum gick på gymnasiet i Deventer där fadern var rektor. Hon läste hebreiska och deltog i en sionistgrupp för ungdomar. Efter avslutad skolutbildning flyttade Hillesum till Amsterdam 1932. Etty bodde hos sin bror Jakob och studerade juridik på universitetet. BA-examen tog hon den 6 juni 1935 och fyra år senare tog hon MA-examen. Därefter skrev hon in sig på institutionen för slaviska språk i Leiden och läste ryska. Här blev hon engagerad i en antifascistisk vänsterrörelse.

Amsterdam
I mars 1937 flyttade hon tillbaka till Amsterdam och hyrde ett rum i ett hus som ägdes av Hendrik (Han) Wegeriff, en rik handelsman. Året därpå anställdes hon som hushållerska åt Wegeriff, som blivit änkeman. I huset bodde flera unga människor, Hendrik Wegeriff junior, studenten Bernard Meylink och sjuksköterskan Maria Tuinzing. Hillesum och Tuinzing blev nära vänner. Hon fick också en nära relation till Wegeriff senior och bodde i dennes hus till 1943, då hon slutgiltigt deporterades till ett koncentrationsläger norr om Westerbork.

Julius Spier
År 1941 mötte Etty Hillesum en tysk immigrant från Berlin, Julius Spier, född 1887 i Frankfurt am Main av judiska föräldrar. År 1926 flyttade Spier med sin familj till Zürich och studerade psykoanalys vid Carl Gustaf Jungs institut. Spier var skicklig i psykokiromanti och Jung uppmuntrade honom att öppna en praktik i Berlin, vilket han gjorde 1929. Praktiken blev mycket framgångsrik. Analys- och terapimetoder uppskattades mycket av kvinnor. Julius Spier skilde sig 1935. Judarnas ställning i Berlin blev allt mer ohållbar och efter kristallnatten 1938 flydde han till Amsterdam med sin fästmö Herta Levi. Levi fortsatte till London.

Jakob Hillesum hörde talas om Spier och rekommenderade honom till sin syster. Hon gick för att lyssna på Spiers föreläsningar och bestämde sig snabbt att gå i hans terapi. Hon blev hans assistent, intellektuella partner och älskarinna. Julius Spier introducerade henne till Bibeln och Augustinus och gav henne rådet att börja meditera och skriva dagbok och blev hennes andlige vägledare.

Hillesums andlighet
Hon hade svårt att böja knä och be till Gud. Spier lärde henne att uttala Guds namn och blev en medlare mellan Gud och henne.

Hillesum hade vuxit upp i en sekulär judisk familj. Hon nämner ingenting om judiska högtider och besök i synagogor i sina dagböcker. Hon är öppen för olika religioner, kristendom och buddism, men skriver aldrig om att konvertera. Det är först under den tyska ockupationen, som hon måste definiera sig som judinna. Men därefter känner hon sig förenad med andra judar genom  historien och deras öde.

När judarnas levnadsvillkor försvårades, fördjupades hennes inre liv och hon blir ett med Gud, mer och mer en mystiker.

Julius Spier dog den 15 september 1942, dagen innan Gestapo skulle föra bort honom till uppsamlingslägret i Westerbork.

Westerbork
Den 29 april 1942 beordrades alla judar att bära den gula davidsstjärnan och Hillesum kunde inte längre röra sig fritt och anonymt i Amsterdam. Det började gå rykten att alla judar skulle samlas ihop i ett läger i Westerbork och transporteras till Polen. Engelska radion rapporterade att 700 000  judar hade mist livet Tyskland året innan. Sommaren 1942 föreslog Jakob Hillesum sin syster att söka en anställning vid Judiska rådet. Det skulle ge henne en viss grad av säkerhet. Hillesum blev anställd den 15 juli 1942, men hon fann arbetet ganska meningslöst. Redan efter tre veckor kunde hon sluta som sekreterare genom att erbjuda sig att bli socialarbetare i Westerbork. Hennes plan var att hjälpa förtvivlade människor att försöka nå Gud inom sig. Alla såg vad som pågick, judar från alla hörn av Holland anlände dagligen och varje tisdag avgick ett fullastat tågsätt – till arbetsläger i Tyskland, sades det. Men snart gick det rykten om en annan sorts läger i Polen.

Hillesum fick permission för att besöka Spier på hans dödsbädd, hon skrev om denna tid i sin dagbok. I början av november blev hon sjuk under en permission och blev kvar i Amsterdam. Hon skrev ett sista häfte i sin dagbok där det framgår att hon ville tillbaka till Westerbork för att hjälpa förtvivlade judar. Inte förrän i juni 1943 blev hon frisk nog för att återvända.

Den 21 juni fick hon en chock när hon såg sina föräldrar och Mischa anlända till Westerbork.

Författarskap
Etty Hillesums författarskap har studerats ingående på 2000-talet och hon har en särställning vid sidan av Anne Frank, Simone Weil och Edith Stein. Ofta studerades dagböcker och brev utanför judiska sammanhang, vilket visar på värdet av hennes författarskap.

Hillesum hade alltid drömt om att bli författare. I dagböckerna utlämnade hon sig själv och utvecklade sitt skrivande. När hon anade att förföljelsen av judarna skulle leda mot koncentrationsläger och undergång började hon en sammanhängande berättelse om vad som skedde i Amsterdam och Westerbork. Hon ville vara "Barackens tänkande hjärta". Hon sökte ett adekvat språk för att beskriva de obeskrivbara upplevelserna..

Skrivandet hjälpte henne att utvecklas andligen, hon fann Gud inom sig och kärleken till alla, till och med till tyska soldater. Från och med denna upptäckt kunde hon hjälpa de förföljda att se det vackra i livet, att "Gud finns inom dem". Hon tog som sin plikt att notera, skriva och bevara dessa obeskrivbara händelser för eftervärlden.

Dagböcker
Innan Hillesum reste till Westerbork lämnade hon sina dagböcker till sin väninna Maria Tuinzing. Hon ville att böckerna skulle överlämnas till Klaas Smelik för att publiceras om hon inte kom tillbaka. År 1981 publicerades en förkortad version, som översattes till svenska 1983. En fullständig version  av dagböcker och brev från Westerbork publicerades i Nederländerna 1986.

Dagböckerna avslöjade hur en ung judisk kvinnas inre liv förändrades under den tyska ockupationen. Efter mötet med Spier läste hon existentiella böcker tillsammans med sina vänner och beskrev sin egen livssyn i dagböckerna.

Reflektion en söndag
Kära Gud, Du kan inte hjälpa oss men vi måste hjälpa Dig och in i det sista försvara Din plats inne i oss. Det finns några som även i dessa yttersta dagar vill rädda undan sin dammsugare och sitt silverbestick istället för att försvara Dig, kära Gud. Och det finns de som vill hitta en säker flyktplats, där de kan gömma sina kroppar, men själva är de inget annat än en förvaringsplats för rädsla och bitterhet. Och de säger 'De skall aldrig få mig i sina klor!' Men de glömmer att ingen är i deras klor som är i Din famn.

Jag börjar redan bli lite lugnare genom det här samtalet med Dig, käre Gud. I den närmaste framtiden skall jag ha många samtal med Dig och på det sättet hindra Dig från att överge mig.

Brev från Westerbork
Från juni 1943 skriver Etty Hillesum brev till sina vänner i Amsterdam:.
•	7 juni – 24 august, Han Wegerif och andra.
•	15 juni – 2 september, Maria Tuinzing
•	21 juni – 9 juli, Milli Ortmann
•	26 juni – 7 september, Christine van Noten
•	3 juli, Johanna och Klaas Smelik
•	18 augusti, Henny Tideman

Hennes sista brev/vykort skickar hon till Christine van Noten:

Den 7 september 1943 skriver Jopie Vleeschhouwer till Han Wegerif och beskriver familjen Hillesums avfärd från Westerbork. Allt hände så snabbt och plötsligt, ändå hade de väntat på detta så länge. Sent på måndagkvällen kom besked från Haag och morgonen efter fick hela familjen Hillesum stiga in i godsvagnar tillsammans med många andra i lägret.

Utgivning på svenska
Etty Hillesums Det förstörda livet: dagböcker 1941-43 (Norstedts) utgavs på svenska 1983 i översättning av Brita Dahlman. En utökad nyutgåva av boken utkom 2018 under titeln Dagböcker och brev i urval (Bokförlaget Faethon). I denna utgåva har ytterligare två långa brev inkluderats i översättning av Olov Hyllienmark.

Forskningscenter och museum

År 2006 invigdes Etty Hillesum forskningscenter, EHOC vid Ghent University i Belgien. Publiceringen av Hillesums dagböcker och brev 1983 väckte ett stort internationellt intresse. EHOC syftar till att samordna och arkivera alla dagböcker och brev samt de forskningsrapporter som publiceras vid universitet världen över.

Etty Hillesums center i Deventer ligger i den gamla synagogan på Roggestraat 3. Den hyser två permanenta utställningar: den ena gestaltar Etty Hillesum, hennes liv och dagböcker fram till deportationen från Westerbork i september 1943. Den andra utställningen är en översikt av de judiska familjer som försvann under den tyska ockupationen.

Eftermäle
Etty Hillesums liv gestaltades på Stockholms Stadsteater i april 2007 i föreställningen Flickan som ville rädda världen i regi av Marika Lagercrantz och Anita Goldman.

Påven Benedictus XVI höll en onsdagsaudiens den 13 februari 2014 lyfte fram Etty Hillesum som en människa som kom till tro och citerade ur hennes dagbok.

Vid floden genom Deventer har man byggt ett monument över Etty Hillesum. Det består av en sluttande sten som har brutits på mitten. Med ett citat från hennes dagbok: Man skulle ha plåster så man kunde lindra alla lidande själar.

Steel Curtain Open Again After Being Shut Down Monday

Ford recalls nearly 1.5M Focuses because engines can stall
DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling nearly 1.5 million Focus compact cars in North America because a fuel system problem can cause the engines to stall without warning.
The recall covers cars from the 2012 through 2018 model years with 2-liter four-cylinder engines.
Ford says a valve in the fuel system can stick in the open position, causing too much vacuum, and an engine control computer may not detect the problem. Excessive vacuum can cause the gas tank to deform, as well as other problems.
Related: BMW To Recall 1.6 Million Vehicles Worldwide Over Fire Risk
The recall came after the U.S. government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration presented owner complaints to Ford. About 1.3 million of the recalled vehicles are in the U.S.
Dealers will reprogram the computer with new software that will detect a stuck valve, which the company says will take care of the problem in most cases. They'll also inspect the valve, a carbon canister and gas tank and replace them if needed.
Ford says owners should keep the gas tank at least half full until repairs are made.
The company says it's not aware of any crashes or injuries caused by the problem.
The recall is expected to begin on Dec. 10.

At least 1,000 highly skilled migrant workers are wrongly facing deportation by the Home Office after being accused of lying in their applications for indefinite leave to remain (ILR), according to MPs and immigration experts.
Workers including doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers and IT professionals stand accused of lying in their applications to remain in the UK, either after making minor amendments to their tax records or having discrepancies in their declared income.
The skilled migrant workers could face deportation under the section 322(5) of the Immigration Act, which was intended to allow Government to remove migrants from the UK in light of their conduct, convictions, character, associations, or if they pose a threat to national security.
If deported under section 322(5) of the Act, they immediately become ineligible for any other UK visa and are often given just 14 days to leave the UK. Those who wish to appeal the decision are allowed to stay and fight their case but are not allowed to work.
Support group Highly Skilled Migrants said it was in contact with 1,000 migrant workers who were facing deportation by the Home Office. It claimed 10 members of its group took the Home Office to the first-tier tribunal over its use of section 322(5) in the past six months, nine of whom won their cases.
According to the Guardian, one applicant's tax returns were examined by three different appeal courts that found no evidence of any irregularities, but the same tax returns were used as the basis for the Home Office's refusal to grant ILR. His deportation could lead to the loss of 20 jobs, all held by British citizens.
His lawyer alleged that the Home Office had made two accounting errors – comparing his gross income to his net income and comparing a tax return from an April to April tax year to one from December to December.
SNP MP Alison Thewliss said the way the section 322(5) rules were being applied were "malevolent" and accused the Home Office of ruining lives.
"It is clear that people are being unfairly targeted using this paragraph of the immigration rules.
Mark Symes, a barrister specialising in immigration law, said the Home Office was treating any amendments to tax returns as an admission of guilt.
"The Home Office think this shows deliberate misuse of the immigration system: that these individuals have either downplayed their income for tax reasons or overstated their income for immigration purposes.
"But small businesses may have up and downs on their incomes, and the tax year rarely equates perfectly to the immigration application year," he explained.
The Home Office said it refused applications "only where the evidence shows applicants have deliberately provided false information to the Government".
I like that you included the quote describing the horrible way that law-abiding people are treated. This is a scary truth that requires a skilled migration lawyer to keep their rights safe. My cousin may want to know this as he researches these laws.


Google recently introduced "Voice Calls" into its webmail service Gmail, essentially launching a Skype competitor. In the first 24 hours, over one million calls were placed.
Voice calling was initially launched in the United States, so Google is anticipating an increase in number as it is introduced in different countries.
The key word here, however, is "free": Calls to the U.S. and Canada are completely free (and will stay so for at least the rest of the year), while calls to other countries are billed at modest rates.
Google has already tried to conquer several markets through Gmail — its instant messaging counterpart is very successful, while Buzz, Google's competitor to Twitter, was much less so. Voice calls seem like a natural addition to Gmail, and if this first figure is any indication, Skype will soon have a very formidable competitor.


Even the most jaded of travellers will have their breath taken away at Boulder Bay. And this, in Myanmar of all places, we do not say lightly. If not truly an eco-resort, Boulder Bay is certainly low impact, and is true in its claim to offer access to some of the finest beaches of the Mergui Archipelago. The Resort is new, and it is going through some teething pains. The rooms are simple, amenities patchy, and one should not expect hot water - although the pressure in the showers in remarkably strong. The food is honest and wholesome.
With many of the staff having worked before in Thailand, the service is efficient, but also relaxed. You may well be invited to join the staff horsing around on the hotel kayaks as the sun sets each evening.
For those guests who wish for more than lounging about in hammocks with a good book, jungle treks and day trips to other beaches can easily be arranged; snorkelling at Sisters Bay, for example, and meeting the Moken Sea Nomads at Moken Bay.

Sri Lanka lose Kingsmead hero
Kusal Perera
Published on March 11, 2019 | Leave a response
South Africa's bid for a five-nil whitewash over Sri Lanka has been buoyed by the absence of batsman Kusal Perera for the remainder of this month's ODI series.
Perera has been sidelined by a hamstring injury sustained during the third ODI – and will miss matches four and five at St George's Park in Port Elizabeth and Newlands in Cape Town respectively.
He struck a record-breaking century during first their Test triumph against the South Africans at Kingsmead in Durban earlier this year.
The Proteas sport an unassailable three-nil series lead, after victories at the Wanderers in Johannesburg, SuperSport Park in Centurion and at Kingsmead.
Batsman Aiden Markram, JP Duminy and Hashim Amla have been recalled to the squad for the Port Elizabeth and Cape Town fixtures, while all-rounder Wiaan Mulder and opener Reeza Hendricks have been omitted.
'We know what Hashim has got. Hashim has played a lot of cricket for South Africa. He's got an amazing record. But we needed to make sure Reeza got an opportunity this series. If Hashim gets another opportunity coming back into the side, hopefully he grabs that with both hands,' said captain Faf du Plessis.
'The main concern for me with all the players is that you need make sure you put performances on the board to go to the World Cup. It's about our best and most in-form team that's going. Everyone in the dressing room knows that, and I believe it's making us want to raise the bar on our own performance.'

Making Moves #32019-03-052019-04-01https://charlottestreet.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/csf-header-logo-white2.pngCharlotte Street Foundationhttps://charlottestreet.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/makingmoves3_web.jpg200px200px
Thursday, March 14, 6:30 - 8:00 PM
Making Moves is BACK! For our third installment, we are highlighting the work of Tristrian Griffith/Kelsey Matsch and Jeanine Durning. Griffith/Matsch will present Distant Physicality, and improvised installation performed live. Dunring's work inning will be shown on film with discussion to follow with Jane Gotch, long time Kansas City artist now living in Toronto.
Doors open at 6:30pm, showing begins at 7:00pm! Stay for conversation (and more!) after the performance. The event is FREE and open to the public. All ages are welcome.
A monthly gathering, Making Moves aims to build community through a shared passion for dance and movement. Throughout 2019, Making Moves will host improvisation jams and provide performance opportunities for local and regional dance makers. Produced by Kyle Mullins and made possible by Charlotte Street Foundation.
ABOUT THE WORK:
Distant Physicality is an installation work discovering how it feels to be isolated while with another person versus feeling apart of a community in room full of people. While the dancers are exploring their complex relationship, they will interact with the audience and eventually transition performance roles; viewer to performer and performer to viewer.
inging Part spoken word performance, part reverie, part dance, part oral biography, part meditation and psychotherapy, ingingis a choreography of the mind, moving in the continuous present. It tracks the velocity of thought through a proprioceptive cascade of words. Both performer and audience are in perpetual disequilibrium, confronted with the limits of language as a paradigm for communication, knowledge and understanding. The body and its gesture emerge as the inevitable bridge between thought and language. Moving thought through speech, and speechifying thought through movement, brings the speaker and listener to the edges of intelligibility where the paradoxical body and the eclectic mind are possible. All at once inside and out, past and present, present and future, present. Physical, metaphysical. Fantasy, memory. Body, voice. Each performance simultaneously produces, accumulates and archives itself. inging repeats itself, stutters, and multiplies itself. inging is a doing being and a being doing. inging is becoming.

Jeanine Durning is a choreographer, performer, and teacher from New York, creating solo and group works since 1998. Her research is grounded in choreography as ontological inquiry – exploring questions of who we are, the nature of perception and relation, and the slippery terrain of invented narratives of self and other. Durning's current research deals with a practice she calls nonstopping which she began to develop in 2009 and which has manifested as a solo performance practice of nonstop speaking called inging (2010) and a group performance practice of nonstop moving called To Being (2015). To Being will premiere in NYC September 2015 along with a remount of inging. inging has been presented in Amsterdam, Berlin, Leuven/BE, Zagreb, Toronto, and across the US in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, NYC, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin, with upcoming performances in San Francisco.
Jane Gotch is originally from Omaha, NE, and graduated from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia with honors in 2000. Her choreography has been awarded a Rocket Grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation in collaboration with The Charlotte Street Foundation and The Spencer Museum, three Inspiration Grants from The Metropolitan Arts Council of Kansas City, The Innovation in the Arts Award from UMKC's Small Business and Development Center, and The 2014 Charlotte Street Foundation's Generative Performing Artist Award. She has danced with Myra Bazell, Netta Yerushalmy, and as an apprentice with Tere O'Connor. She has collaborated with artists Johanna Brooks, Brad Cox, Leo Gayden, Helen Gillet, Shawn Hansen, Peregrine Honig, Miles Neidenger, Paul Rudy, Mark Southerland and many others.
Kelsey Matsch, originally from Colorado, began her training at The Arvada Center of Performing Arts. She went on to receive her BFA from the Conservatory of Music and Dance at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. She danced professionally with Wylliams/Henry Contemporary Dance Company before joining the inaugural year of Hubbard Street's Professional Program under the direction of Alexandra Wells. Kelsey had the privilege of working with and performing works by Ohad Naharin, Peter Chu, Alice Klock, Elia Mrak, Kameron N. Saunders, Rena Butler, Gary Abbott, and Kevin Iega Jeff. She most recently was an apprentice with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago for their 2018/2019 Season.
Tristian Griffin is a native of Kansas CIty, MO. In 2014, he graduated from Texas Christian University receiving his BFA in Ballet with an English minor. Following graduation, he joined and danced for Garth Fagan Dance Company for 3 years.

SM 5 BSZ - Linux pc radio, flat frequency response by an extra digital filter.
The first process of the Linux dsp radio is to convert the incoming signal from the time domain to the frequency domain. As a result the signal is obtained as a series of fourier transforms.
By feeding pulses into the system the amplitude and phase response of the entire dsp radio all the way to the fourier transforms can be measured with good accuracy.
By simply taking the inverse of this spectrum, averaged over many pulses to reduce influence of noise, the filter function that will produce an absolutely flat frequency response is obtained.
One extra loop is added in the first fft subroutine make_fft1(). This loop multiplies the fourier transforms by the inverse of the hardware frequency response multiplied by the desired frequency response specified by the operator.
Fig 1. Shows the frequency response of the direct conversion receiver using the IQ mixer and the anti alias filters and a Delta44 audio board. The input is the pulse generator used for calibration. The useful bandwidth is about 75kHz and the passband ripple is in the order of 0.5dB.
Fig 1. Frequency response of uncorrected direct conversion receiver at 7.050MHz. Note that a selective rf amplifier must be used to make pulses strong enough. In this case the rf amplifier is centered at 7.1MHz, causing a small asymmetry of the frequency response.
After running the calibration routine the frequency response is flat with parabolic fall off. The shape is precisely known so the waterfall graph can be calculated using that knowledge. Fig. 2 shows the spectrum and waterfall graph of the calibrated Linux dsp system.
Fig 2. Frequency response of corrected (=calibrated) direct conversion receiver at 7.050MHz.
The first screen of the amplitude and phase calibration is shown in fig. 3. This screen is intended to make it easy to select amplitude and repetition rate of the pulse generator.
Fig 3. First screen of amplitude and phase calibration. Here the amplitude and repetition rate of the calibrate pulses should be set.
Once amplitude and repetition frequency are set the second screen is reached by pressing ENTER. The pulse repetition rate must not be changed after the first screen is left.
The second screen is shown in figure 4. Here the average pulse response is collected.

The second screen shows the complete frequency response including any previous calibration step. When the user decides that many enough pulses are averaged the next step of the calibrate routine is reached by pressing "U".
Fig 5. Third screen of calibration routine. Possibillity to manipulate the measured hardware response in both time and frequency domain. In this case data is valid all over the frequency range so the user should just press "A".
The third screen of the calibration procedure shown in fig. 5 allows the user to remove invalid data outside the frequency response of the hardware. With the 90kHz direct conversion receiver all points are valid so this screen is not used. The next screen is reached by pressing "A".
Figure 6, the fourth screen of the calibration routine allows the user to select the desired frequency response.
Fig 6. Fourth screen of calibration routine. The white curve is the desired response selected by the user. The yellow curve is the amplitude and the green one the phase response of the correction filter that must be used to provide the desired frequency response of the whole system.
Selecting a very wide flat range with rather steep fall off as is done in fig. 6 results in a pulse response that has rather strong oscillations on both sides of the pulse as is shown in fig. 7.
Fig 7. Pulse response of Linux dsp when calibrated as shown in fig. 6.
As a comparision fig.8. shows the pulse response of the uncalibrated system.
Fig 8. Pulse response of Linux dsp when uncalibrated. This is the response of the hardware with no digital correction.
It is possible to reduce/remove the oscillations in the pulse response by selecting a different, less flat, shape of the desired frequency response. In order to allow further processing to use MMX instructions it is nessecary to keep the flat region wide. Otherwise there are dynamic range problems because MMX uses only 16 bit integers for processing. The oscillations in the pulse response make the noise blanker more complicated but the extra computing is well motivated by the large time saving provided by use of MMX instructions.
The averaging of pulses shown in fig. 3. is done in the frequency domain. The amplitudes can be averaged directly but the phases have to be differentiated twice before they can be averaged. When integrating the average twice a discontinuity is obtained at the center because the A/D converters are not DC coupled.
The structure visible in fig. 3 at the discontinuity is not really the hardware response which is a very narrow notch. The notch is widened because the pulse repetition rate was 118Hz for this measurement. Therefore the window function used to pick out individual pulses contributes to the center notch and makes it wider.
The discontinuity causes ugly frequency response at the center frequency corresponding to very low frequencies in the I and Q signals of the pulse response.
Fig 9. Low frequency tails in I and Q caused by the center discontinuity.
The center notch provided by the hardware is very narrow and has a nice phase response. The best strategy is to not make any changes to it in the digital processing. There is a function allowing the user to interpolate across the discontinuity and replace it by smooth curves.
The center notch removal routine has 4 screens on which the user can select by how many terms the curve should be fitted to a polynomial. Figures 10 and 11 show one of these screens with 2 and 7 parameters respectively. The discontinuity is at the right side of the screen. The yellow curve is the current correction function, slightly curved and with the discontinuity at the right side. The white curve is the difference between the fitted polynomial and the correction function. 2 terms as in fig 10 is clearly not enough while 7 parameters are too many as can be seen by the large values and alternating signs of polynomial coefficients 6 and 8 in fig 11 having values 278.0 and -345.9 respectively. The procedure is uncritical, 2 and 7 terms produce nearly identical results although 4 or maybe 5 would be the optimum choice.
Fig 10. Polynomial fit with 2 terms.
Fig 11. Polynomial fit with 7 terms.
It is easy to find out how many terms to use. Just use + or - to select a reasonable y scale. Start with few terms and watch how the while line becomes less curved. With too many terms the curvature belonging to the center discontinuity will change slightly and that is not difficult to see accurately enough.
Fig. 12 is the fifth and last screen of the discontinuity removal routine. It shows the correction filter with the discontinuity removed. Fig. 13 shows the corresponding pulse response in the same scale as fig.9. Note that the low frequency components are absent and that the pulse is surrounded by high frequency oscillations only.

Falsifying the American Civil War: Doris Kearns Goodwin at Gettysburg
By Eric London and Jerry White
Last week, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Gettysburg to commemorate a pivotal battle in the American Civil War. In July 1863, fundamental questions of democratic rights and the socio-economic foundations of society were being fought out on the plains of Pennsylvania. At the anniversary ceremonies 150 years later, those in attendance evinced a deep desire to discuss the significance of the Civil War and the essential questions that underlay it.
These questions were entirely ignored in the keynote address given Sunday night by historian Doris Kearns Goodwin. Her primary goal appeared to be to strip the American Civil War of its lasting revolutionary significance.
Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln and other books, is a leading figure in the American academic-political establishment. A Democratic Party insider since the Johnson administration, she now plays the role of semi-official state historian.
It is first of all notable that her speech paid scant attention to the event itself—the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War of which it was a part. This fact was noted by many in the audience. Not a few of those with whom the World Socialist Web Site spoke in the following days expressed puzzlement and even anger that Goodwin seemed more interested in speaking about her own relations with various political officials than in discussing the momentous battle she was called on to commemorate.
This dismissive attitude was bound up with a broader purpose: to defuse the revolutionary significance of the conflict, suggest that it would have been better if it had never happened, and equate the struggle against slavery with the modern-day politics of race, gender and sexual orientation that is the stock in trade, in particular, of the Democratic Party.
Goodwin's basic attitude toward the Civil War as an event was summed up in remarks she made just prior to the address in an interview with The Gettysburg Times. "Not being able to resolve a political battle between the North and South and the issues of slavery led to the worst war in our history and to hundreds of thousands of people dying and the treasures of the country being devastated," she said. "It should be a warning lesson to the American political system that created democracy in order for people to come together through politics to solve our problems, as opposed to violence when it failed."
In other words, for Goodwin, the Civil War was a misfortune that arose from the unfortunate inability of the North and the South to reach a lasting compromise on the question of slavery. Such a position would not have been out of place among pro-slavery Northern "Copperheads." Through attempts to portray the Union (and Lincoln) as racist on account of the North's discriminatory laws, Goodwin presents the Civil War not as a struggle to abolish slavery as an institution and form of property ownership, but as a step towards the elimination of racial prejudice.
While neglecting to describe the scourge of slavery in the South, Goodwin said that "[i]n the North, a long standing set of black laws denied all manner of fundamental rights to black Americans. In many northern states, blacks could not vote, hold political office, give testimony against whites, sit on juries, or intermarry."
Though discrimination certainly did exist in the North, this account presents slavery as a product of racism instead of the other way around. In fact, racial prejudice arose to justify an already existing economic system based on human bondage.
Goodwin separates the Civil War from the movement and relationship of class forces in order to equate the abolition of slavery with modern identity politics. Since Goodwin is forced to draw a straight line through the 20th century to make her connection, the Civil Rights movement becomes another casualty of her presentation. To Goodwin, "the Lyndon Johnson I was fortunate enough to serve" "took up the challenge" to "bring us closer to Abraham Lincoln's ideal" by passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Declaring that Johnson was "a consummate politician" who had a "magnificent partnership with Congress," and who "had Republicans and Democrats over for breakfast, lunch, cocktails and dinner" in order to bypass the filibuster mounted by his own party, Goodwin called for bipartisan unity today to "come together to solve the nation's problems through politics and not violence."
It is a gross historical falsification to attribute the reforms of the 1960s to the wheelings and dealings of Lyndon Johnson, who Goodwin referred to, somewhat strangely, as an "aging lion of a man." The basis of Goodwin's claim is that the reforms made in the 1960s had nothing to do with the masses of people who demonstrated in the millions against segregation. Instead, it was the enlightened liberals who handed down equality from a pedestal.
In fact, masses of people had to wrench basic civil reforms from the Democratic Party and its southern wing in the 1960s.
Goodwin's potted portrayal of the Civil War and the Civil Rights movement was aimed at masking the profound social tensions that characterize contemporary America. Goodwin's attempt to christen the gay rights movement as the inheritor of the egalitarian legacy of the Civil War reveals even more clearly the class interests behind her historical falsification.
In fact, the adoption of identity politics—the politics of race, gender and sexual orientation—as an official policy was inseparably bound-up with the Democratic Party's abandonment of any commitment to reforms like the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, and Medicare. It began to use identity as a "left" veneer as it turned to waging a vicious assault on the democratic rights and living standards of all sections of the working class.
In her speech, Goodwin remarks:
"That each generation faces its own chapter in the struggle for man's unending search for freedom was dramatically illustrated this past week with several stunning decisions on the Supreme Court.
"On the one hand, a critical section of that same 1965 Voting Rights Act, which had stood for fifty years was struck down. On the other hand, the struggle to end discrimination against gay and lesbian Americans took a giant step forward when the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the Defense of Marriage Act… and also nullified California's ban on same-sex marriages."
With utter complacency—arguing in essence that "you win some and you lose some" in an otherwise healthy American democracy—Goodwin cannot garner from herself anything more than a dry, one-sentence reference to the effective repeal of the Voting Rights Act.
Moreover, Goodwin made no attempt to explain how or why the Supreme Court ruled on consecutive days in favor of gay marriage but against voting rights for the working class. There is no doubt that marriage and equal access to federal benefits are democratic rights. However, the Supreme Court, along with both Republicans and Democrats, gave its stamp of approval to the measure because it does not in any way challenge the foundations of bourgeois rule. To equate the achievements of the Civil War to the court's ruling on gay marriage is an insult to the intelligence of the American people. The Supreme Court decisions in fact illustrate how the political establishment has officially adopted identity politics as part of a right-wing political framework that involves the assault on social programs and core democratic rights carried out by both big business parties. Goodwin's remarks were entirely within this framework. Notably, her speech lacked any reference to poverty, social inequality, war or the assault on democratic rights in America.
Underlying the ruling class' project of historical falsification relating to the Civil War is a nervousness and fear—however consciously understood by figures like Goodwin—that the American and international working class will draw from an understanding of this earlier period far-reaching conclusions about what is required today.
Four months after the Battle of Gettysburg, Lincoln was clear about what was at stake in the war.
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal…
"The great task remaining before us," Lincoln said, was that "we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Yet the American ruling class, represented by both the Democrats and Republicans, is seeking, with deliberation and conscious intent, to defend at all costs not "government of the people, by the people, and for the people," but "government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich." For this reason, it cannot address with any degree of honesty even the bourgeois democratic revolutionary traditions of the United States itself.

"I saw a man clothed with rags … a book in his hand and a great burden upon his back."
Successful English writers were, in John Bunyan's day, nearly synonymous with wealth. Men like Richard Baxter and John Milton could afford to write because they didn't need to earn a living. But Bunyan, a traveling tinker like his father, was nearly penniless before becoming England's most famous author. His wife was also destitute, bringing only two Puritan books as a dowry.

"We came together as poor as poor might be," Bunyan wrote, "not having so much household-stuff as a dish or spoon betwixt us both."
What allowed Bunyan to become the bestselling author of one of the most beloved books in the English language was when things actually got worse: an imprisonment of 12 years.
Early temptations
>Born in Elstow, Bedfordshire, Bunyan married at age 21. Those books his wife brought to the marriage began a process of conversion. Gradually, he gave up recreations like dancing, bell ringing, and sports; he began attending church and fought off temptations. "One morning as I did lie in bed," he wrote in his autobiography, "I was, as at other times, most fiercely assaulted with this temptation, to sell and part with Christ; the wicked suggestion still running in my mind, Sell him, sell him, sell him, sell him, sell him, as fast as a man could speak."
Bunyan was drawn to the Christian fellowship he saw among "three or four poor women sitting at a door ... talking abut the things of God." He was also befriended by John Gifford, minister at a Separatist church in Bedford.
The tinker joined the church and within four years was drawing crowds "from all parts" as a lay minister. "I went myself in chains to preach to them in chains," he said, "and carried that fire in my own conscience that I persuaded them to beware of."
Prison: a mixed blessing
>Bunyan's rise as a popular preacher coincided with the Restoration of Charles II. The freedom of worship Separatists had enjoyed for 20 years was quickly ended; those not conforming with the Church of England would be arrested. By January 1661, Bunyan sat imprisoned in the county jail.
The worst punishment, for Bunyan, was being separated from his second wife (his first had died in 1658) and four children. "The parting ... hath oft been to me in this place as the pulling the flesh from my bones," he wrote. He tried to support his family making "many hundred gross of long tagg'd [shoe] laces" while imprisoned, but he mainly depended on "the charity of good people" for their well-being.
Bunyan could have freed himself by promising not to preach but refused. He told local magistrates he would rather remain in prison until moss grew on his eyelids than fail to do what God commanded.
Still, the imprisonment wasn't as bad as some have imagined. He was permitted visitors, spent some nights at home, and even traveled once to London. The jailer allowed him occasionally to preach to "unlawful assemblies" gathered in secret. More importantly, the imprisonment gave him the incentive and opportunity to write. He penned at least nine books between 1660 and 1672 (he wrote three others—two against Quakers and the other an expository work—before his arrest).
Profitable Mediations, Christian Behavior (a manual on good relationships), and The Holy City (an interpretation of Revelation) were followed by Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, considered the greatest Puritan autobiography. But from 1667 to 1672, Bunyan probably spent most of his time on his greatest legacy, The Pilgrim's Progress.
Pilgrim's success
>Charles II eventually relented in 1672, issuing the Declaration of Indulgence. Bunyan was freed, licensed as a Congregational minister, and called to be pastor of the Bedford church. When persecution was renewed, Bunyan was again imprisoned for six months. After his second release, Pilgrim's Progress was published.
"I saw a man clothed with rags ... a book in his hand and a great burden upon his back." So begins the allegorical tale that describes Bunyan's own conversion process. Pilgrim, like Bunyan, is a tinker. He wanders from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, a pilgrimage made difficult by the burden of sin (an anvil on his back), the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair, and other such allegorical waystations.
The book was instantly popular with every social class. His first editor, Charles Doe, noted that 100,000 copies were already in print by 1692. Samuel Taylor Coleridge called it, "the best Summa Theologicae Evangelicae ever produced by a writer not miraculously inspired." Every English household that owned a Bible also owned the famous allegory. Eventually, it became the bestselling book (apart from the Bible) in publishing history.
The book brought Bunyan great fame, and though he continued to pastor the Bedford church, he also regularly preached in London. He continued to write. The Life and Death of Mr. Badman (1680) has been called the first English novel (since it is less of an allegory than Pilgrim's Progress), and was followed by another allegory, The Holy War. He also published several doctrinal and controversial works, a book of verse, and a children's book.
By age 59 Bunyan was one of England's most famous writers. He carried out his pastoring duties and was nicknamed "Bishop Bunyan." In August 1688, he rode through heavy rain to reconcile a father and son, became ill, and died.

Very interesting, so far even if I'm not quite sure that Alexander is going sincerely appreciate Napoleon's help in this specific war out of fear that in addition to the desired result (Finland) he may get a much less desirable permanent French military presence in Sweden which, in the case of the future unpleasantries, may be more dangerous than Swedes in Finland. Then, of course, it would live Archangelsk as the only "napoleon-free" port and even this with some caveats. So if you want a continued …er… "brotherly love" between these two, moving French troops out of Sweden would be a reasonable even if uncharacteristic action by Napoleon (OTOH, in your TL he already did something unexpectedly intelligent by leaving Spain alone so no hope is lost).
BTW, maybe you find a nice way to get rid of both Alexander and Constantine? IIRC,at this specific time Constantine was in a pacifistic mood but with him nothing could be taken for granted. Something like a nice cholera pandemic (yes, I know that the 1st one in Europe started in 1817 but can you move it ahead of a schedule a little bit? Death in a toilet seems fittingly "unheroic") or typhus (already available). Russia is left with very young Nicholas at the helm and for a while is not active internationally.
As for the Ottoman War, the OTL Russian goals were quite modest with no grandiose plans like capturing the Straits. Just an absence if tensions with Napoleon would provide enough resources to finish it ahead of the schedule.
And how about Sweden's dynastic crisis and their sincere wish to please Napoleon?
alexmilman said:
Constantine is definitely somebody I want to use more of... though how exactly to make that happen best is still an open Q. Your suggestion isn't a bad one! Still need to find Nap a good bride who can bear him a son (unlike poor Josephine) as well.
IIRC, Russia just wanted modern day Romania (in effect - Wallachia and Moldavia) in order to have a presence on the Danube, no?
We'll be exploring Sweden's new dynasty here soon... suffice to say it shall not be Bernadotte on the throne this time around! (I have another name/dynasty in mind for that)
Constantine is definitely somebody I want to use more of... though how exactly to make that happen best is still an open Q.
The fundamental problem with him was that he seemingly inherited (without obvious reason) all his bad qualities (which was formed by the dedicated and continued effort of his "loving" mother to keep him permanently humiliated ) without any of the good ones like sincere wish to establish an order, fight corruption, limit expenses, etc. As a ruler he would be a disaster for everyone.
Your suggestion isn't a bad one! Still need to find Nap a good bride who can bear him a son (unlike poor Josephine) as well.
Well, you can make Alexander to override his mother and give his sister to Nappy before he dies: the mother did not have any real power, anyway. Of course, there would be usual the provisions about her retaining Orthodox faith. What's the problem?
AFAIK, not even that: it wanted to retain the pro-Russian rulers of the principalities and to have a small stretch of a border on the Danube (there were no serious tangible interest in that river).
Now, this seriously upsets me because I really like Bernadotte. And what are you going to do about him?
That's the rub that makes Yekaterina a difficult candidate; her being Orthodox makes her a tough sell in France (though the convention to have boys raised in the faith of the father and girls in the faith of the mother within European royalty is a potential workaround). Napoleon's brothers and nephews still have roles to play too, I imagine.
Oh I like him too! As a Swede it's hard not to be a homer haha. He'll have plenty of value to Napoleon over the years to come.

Taking into the account that, even comparing to the Holstein-Gottorp-Romanovs the Bonaparte family were not even aristocratic and that Nappy did not have a habit over paying excessive attention to the wishes of his relatives, I'd suggest that the arrangement you mentioned would work just fine.
Well, here we have a serious problem. Unlike pretty much all marshals, Bernadotte did not consider himself a servant. He promised loyalty but not servitude and preferred to retain as much of independence as he could and, both in the military and administrative affairs, performed better as a reasonably independent player than as a subordinate. His bad relations with Berthier resulted in him being regularly set up, which did not improve situation and on the top of this there were his "gasconades" (addresses to his troops, which were pissing off Napoleon). Of course, after each specific case he managed to restore the relations because Nappy was a sucker to a primitive flattery coming from the unexpected corner but what Nappy could offer to him in a long run? Pretty much nothing meaningful.
Could work, though it looks like the Russian Dowager Empress was already lining her up for Oldenburg by the point of the POD. Rats. Same goes for my backup option for Nappy, Maximilian of Bavaria's daughter, Caroline.
Still need to find Nap a good bride who can bear him a son (unlike poor Josephine) as well.
@KingSweden24 @alexmilman As for Napoleon's marriage, I had previously mentioned Catherine of Russia, although that doesn't seem the case anymore. Napoleon could still marry Marie Louise or maybe have Maria Augusta of Saxony, but she is definitely too old for Napoleon. He could also marry Maria Beatrice of Savoy (my favourite out of these suggestions) and in exchange give her father the former kingdom of Etruria to make him an ally. Another suggestion would be Amalie of Baden or Caroline of Denmark, although religion might be an issue. Other than that, I'm not sure since every other match would be from an insignificant Duke as most of the great powers in Europe have daughters that are either too young, too old or already married.
Reactions: Gabingston and Carlos I de Quito
The Dowager Empress could operate as long as she was allowed by her son. If he seriously wants something different (not the case in OTL), his will prevails (as was the case with the CS, which she opposed with the, typically, most idiotic arguments): he is an autocrat and if she is unhappy, she can depart to Gatchina or some other place to show her unhappiness but she does not have any real power. Ah yes, she can refuse to give a parental blessing (nice to have but not necessary because the issue of a dowry is not in her hands) but that's pretty much it.
Not that I'm too much into the matchmaking schemas but it seems that in your TL the Russian marriage is important for both sides because (unlike OTL) they do want an alliance with a certain degree of a sincerity. With the possible exception of Austrian marriage none of the rest addresses much more than a purely breeding issue (alliance with some minor German or Italian state is pretty much meaningless geopolitically).
Fair point. Maybe I'll stick to that one, then, to not jumble up too many other royal marriages of this time too badly
And now. when we have that major issue settled, how about you being a loyal Swede and reconsider your evil plans regarding the ruling dynasty? (*)
(*) As the most important consideration, which other couple would provide more anecdotes and national entertainment then the founders of the present dynasty?

I was commenting only about the founders, not the following generations but, anyway, the prince you are talking about just gave himself a trouble to be born and, while he was initially a top candidate, he was not approved by Nappy, did not fit a desired profile (military experience) and let himself to be easily outmaneuvered by a complete outsider. Most of the wiki page on him is about his marriage and children. Sweden at that time was in a very difficult situation and, IMO, needed much more than just a well-bred nothing.
After losing Finland and having its king couped out only to be replaced by an indigent, it certainly did!
Threadmarks Rule of the Seas
Rule of the Seas
"...what I would give instead to have my feet on the Continent, helping drive the Corsican from every conquered capital, than here, to do what?"
- Arthur Wellesley
The successful defeat of Sweden in the Finnish War - which ceded all of Finland to Russia as a grand duchy, left Sweden with an invalid, childless and weak new King inheriting a political crisis, earned France and Denmark substantial indemnities in turn that would bankrupt the poor Scandinavian kingdom for decades and forced it into the Continental System - also included a rare naval defeat for the Royal Navy at the Oresund. Though no Trafalgar or Copenhagen, not even close, the battle and the subsequent exit of Sweden from the war left Britain outside the Baltic and suddenly bereft of formal allies anywhere in Europe, but otherwise in command of both the North Sea and the Mediterranean and thus able to continue to enforce its will regarding a blockade of French ports and defending the expansion of British trade worldwide in the absence of competition. It was a strange stalemate, that France utterly dominated Europe now as 1809 dawned but Britain dominated beyond, each desiring what the other had, with Britain lacking an army or alliance to challenge Paris and France lacking a navy to challenge London.
Though the incomes from Europe had been somewhat augmented by overseas trade (and smuggling), hard power was still the backbone of British naval policy and Britannia took advantage of her dominance at sea to consolidate her position even as Napoleon used the broad peace ushered in with the Treaty of Stockholm to allow Europe to breathe and settle under the Napoleonic Codes and Continental System. Spain was wholly cut off from her New World; in 1808 a British force was dispatched to Tobago under Arthur Wellesley to intervene in Venezuela alongside Francisco de Miranda, a patriot seeking to fight for independence, a sharp departure from their policy in their own Thirteen Colonies thirty years prior but in line with their attempts to seize Buenos Aires a year before. The British shelled Havana and seized St. Augustine later that autumn, and continued to harass formally neutral American vessels, making the outgoing Jefferson administration's Embargo Act even more unpopular in the United States.
Despite their dominance at sea, though, talk in London by early 1809 began to swirl around the long term. The Continental System was ineffective at keeping British commerce fully locked out of Europe, but the blockade was not succeeding in economically starving Napoleon, either. Feelers to the Austrians continued quietly but after the Third Coalition had ended in failure and humiliation for the Habsburgs at Pressburg, Francis I was reluctant to stick his neck out again, at least until he had rebuilt his forces sufficiently. In all, the British position was mixed, despite some positive reports from Wellesley regarding the Venezuelan Expedition, suggesting to Lord Portland's Cabinet that operations in the New World to try to force Spain to exit French hegemony could bear fruit. The question in London for those skeptical of further war was this: how long was Britain willing to go on against Napoleon alone? At what cost, to what end? How would victory be achieved? What was such a victory worth...?
Another interesting update! Perhaps those long-term thinkers will be able to negotiate a peace with Napoleon: the return of Hanover, ending of the continental system and a few other concessions should be enough; after all, Britain has no allies left.
Reactions: Gabingston, Carlos I de Quito and KingSweden24

Hanover is definitely the sticking point, for both sides

Using CAD Geometry in Structural Simulation – Change or Accept?


This project consists of a mediation and conflict transformation process, through the facilitation of a sustainable dialogue, to support reconciliation and promote social cohesion building on the notion of common citizenship.
Following a preliminary phase that consisted of a) practice-oriented and analytical field research, b) an experts' meeting, and c) an in-depth exploratory mission in Iraq, the project's first phase was established at the local level in Samarra. The latter is a Sunni-majority city in the governorate of Salaheddin, where important Shia shrines are located and where sectarianism has prevailed, and political dialogue has been cut off since the shrines were attacked, a factor in the outbreak of the civil war in 2006.
The goal of this project is to alleviate the high tensions among conflict parties, to address the marginalization of influential religious actors in the political process and reconciliation initiatives, to foster mutual trust, and finally to promote a peaceful and inclusive shared civil space. To do so, political, tribal, religious and academic actors from different backgrounds will be engaged in the mediation process, as it has been demonstrated that these actors have a real leverage in the current conflict and benefit from a wide audience among their constituencies.

UMBC president shows support for Dream Act
Students rally to keep law on books
Updated: 9:49 AM EDT Jul 19, 2012
A popular local university president is throwing his support behind efforts to uphold Maryland's controversial Dream Act.UMBC President Dr. Freeman Hrabowki said he sees the benefit of educating all Maryland students.College and high school students, whose educational futures are tied to the success of Maryland's Dream Act, joined forces with faith-based, civil rights and labor organizations on the UMBC campus to lobby voters to help keep the law on the books.One Montgomery County College student, who did not share her last name, said the Dream Act is key to her education."With access to higher education, I will never stop learning and contributing to this country more and more," Karnia said. "I decided to focus on education because of my parents. My mother has always told me that education is the path to my success, and I very much believe that, and that is why I am working so hard."The Dream Act allows students who are undocumented immigrants to pay in-state college tuition rates if they finish high school and enroll in a community college. UMBC's president said voters should consider the long-term benefits."When these young people become educated, they'll get good jobs. They'll pay taxes. They'll help us all out. I believe that.

UMBC President Dr. Freeman Hrabowki said he sees the benefit of educating all Maryland students.
College and high school students, whose educational futures are tied to the success of Maryland's Dream Act, joined forces with faith-based, civil rights and labor organizations on the UMBC campus to lobby voters to help keep the law on the books.

The Dream Act allows students who are undocumented immigrants to pay in-state college tuition rates if they finish high school and enroll in a community college. UMBC's president said voters should consider the long-term benefits.
