Social Media and Surveillance: The New Research Tools for Info-Hungry Landlords
Words by Jan Lee
Big brother may be watching. And if you live in a major city with rent-control laws, renter protection and a dearth of apartments for rent, that big brother could be your landlord.
New technology is on the horizon -- and, in some cases, is already in play -- that allows landlords to maintain surveillance on their tenants. And we don't mean the slink-around-the-corner type, but online systems that give landlords increased information about who you are, what you do and where you go. But more disturbing, reports Dia Kayyali in Quartz magazine, such technologies offer clients an open door to profiling and discriminatory approaches in deciding who should rent their property.
Now let's be honest. Landlords often have vested interests they wish to protect. They want to make sure their property is respected and well cared for. They may be concerned about renting to drug users or people who engage in illegal behavior. Many of us would understand those concerns. But that isn't the only way the software is being used, Kayyali reports. And it isn't just individuals with police records who are being scrutinized or refused.
Kayyali called programs like Tenant Assured "invasive, misleading and potentially discriminatory." It goes beyond your average analysis of a prospective tenant by rating those things that have generally been off-limits when discussing an applicant's qualifications. "The 'new to country' alert, for example, seems tailor-made to facilitate discrimination against immigrants," Kayyali wrote. And while hobbies and personality traits aren't necessarily red flags when it comes to invasive software, the service doesn't stop there.
"Your applicant is invited to connect from one to four of his/her social media accounts through our secure portal. Once we have permission, obtained during the connection process, we are able to search through millions of data points, both public and private" with the objective of providing a comprehensive character assessment, Tenant Assured said. According to Tenant Assured founder Steve Thornhill, the software doesn't just look for poor credit, but also looks to see what kind of life you live: Do you live a "normal" life?
Washington Post reporter Caitlin Dewey spoke with Thornhill, who ran a prospective tenant report for her using her personal details.
"My personal tenant report includes a list of my closest friends and interests, a percentage breakdown of my personality traits, a list of every time I've tweeted the words 'loan' and 'pregnant,' and the algorithm's confidence that I'll pay my rent consistently," Dewey wrote.
But for Kayyali, it is isn't just the weirdness of seeing the most intimate details of your life recounted in a tenant report, but the immense potential for landlords to use that access to discriminate. Startup programs like Tenant Assured, Naborly and Score Assured have the potential to peer into people's sex lives and offer data for generalization. They can potentially go into areas of consideration that landlords are restricted from entering, like whether a tenant is gay or transsexual; the tenant's political views; and what religion they practice.
With this tech, any facts that can be mined from social media is fair game. An applicant who wants to rent that apartment, house or condo has little choice but to surrender access to his or her social media accounts -- with the recognition, of course, that the would-be renter has no rights to see or correct that information. Unlike credit reporting agencies, both writers noted, Tenant Assured, Naborly and other online applicant-rating systems aren't governed by regulations that give tenants the right to see and correct reports before they are sent to the client.
Sophisticated online services aren't the only ones that have caught on to the fact that social media can be a goldmine of hidden, private information. One landlord consultancy site advises landlords that social media can "aid you in keeping out negligent tenants – the key is to be careful and only use it for the right reasons." It cautions landlords that there can be ramifications for the surveillance, however. "You may be accused of violating a tenant's privacy if they found out you conducted a little social media research." But if their social media accounts are public, "that information is fair game."
And landlords aren't the only ones who can request your information from companies like Tenant Assured, Dewey noted. Employers, creditors, even potential first dates can purchase access on the pretense of seeing what kind of person you are -- and forming that first impression. In fact, it's pretty much open territory, Thornhill told the Post. His vision, says Dewey, includes a day when services like Tenant Assured and Score Assured will be the go-to sources before making a financial transaction.
There's no question that social media played a significant role in inspiring startups like these, but it isn't the only driving force. They also grew from the push by landlords in rent-controlled cities and owners of rent-stabilized buildings to regain some control over who or how they rent their property.
"Landlords already have access to many traditional methods of surveillance," Kayyali wrote. The list includes "de-tenant" strategies like motion sensors and camera surveillance to identify tenants who aren't using their rentals as a primary residence (an issue that put Airbnb in the hot seat a few years ago when New York City discovered an increase in illegal sublet apartments by Airbnb customers).
The answer for low-income tenants and others who feel they may be subject to such surveillance, Kayyali wrote, is to "fight back." Learn what can be done to protect your online information. Find out what protections you may have in your state, and speak out if you feel you are being harassed. As Dewey pointed out, there's always a chance that aggressive social media scanning programs like this won't catch on with consumers. But don't count on it.

Israeli airstrikes target Gaza sites, first since cease-fire
Israeli aircraft carried out a series of airstrikes at militant sites in the Gaza Strip early Wednesday, the first such raids since a shaky cease-fire ended the war with Hamas last month.
The airstrikes targeted facilities used by Hamas militants for meetings to plan attacks, the Israeli military said, blaming the group for any act of violence emanating from Gaza. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
On Tuesday, hundreds of Israeli ultranationalists, some chanting "Death to Arabs," paraded in east Jerusalem in a show of force that threatened to spark renewed violence. Palestinians in Gaza responded by launching incendiary balloons that caused at least 10 fires in southern Israel.
The march posed a test for Israel's fragile new government as well as the tenuous truce that ended last month's 11-day war between Israel and Hamas.
Palestinians consider the march, meant to celebrate Israel's capture of east Jerusalem in 1967, to be a provocation. Hamas called on Palestinians to "resist" the parade, a version of which helped ignite last month's 11-day Gaza war. With music blaring, hundreds of Jewish nationalists gathered and moved in front of Damascus Gate. Most appeared to be young men, and many held blue-and-white Israeli flags as they danced and sang religious songs.
At one point, several dozen youths, jumping and waving their hands in their air, chanted: "Death to Arabs!" In another anti-Arab chant, they yelled: "May your village burn."
Mansour Abbas, whose Raam party is the first Arab faction to join an Israeli coalition, said the march was "an attempt to set the region on fire for political aims," with the intention of undermining the new government.

He remembered coming back from the war. He remembered chasing butterflies. He remembered eating the most delicious cheesecake. He did not remember the U.S., though. His partner knew that that would be a bigger war once he would come back. He was right. Ian was sitting apathetically in a folding chair unfolding his thoughts to places only available to him. It's a weird thing not being able to travel at the same time to the exact places with your loved one, thought Gabriel.
Last year they had so much fun in winter. All the snowmen, snow angels, the decorations on the Christmas tree… Mind you, it was not even an evergreen that one sees aligned like unidentified soldiers' bodies on a fucked up battlefield. No, they had to unearth their beloved, dying elm from their garden. They wrapped it in gauze and tin foil: a vibrant tree once, then ailing, now dead. It was placed in their bedroom. That was where Ian requested the tree to be placed. They made a promise that night: once departed for war, they would not write to each other. They would wait. And upon return, they would embrace each other, silently, remove the dead tree from their bedroom, bury it, and then go on with their lives. Not ever looking back.
Ian is silent. Wrapped in awful nightmares, the residues of war… with a bunch of decorations, which he said he would melt into one gigantesque and grotesque piece—a synecdoche for war, he said. Gabriel brought him tea with a touch of cinnamon. They always drank that in October, prepare for Halloween, and let summer slowly slip away off of their bodies.
This year, though, Ian cannot understand Halloween. Gabriel brings a catalogue that was recently dropped in their mailbox. Ian only gestures in disgust. He did not even touch his tea. He said it was the worst combination possible. "Why do people get dressed like freaks?" "It's fun…" "Cretins!" "Oh, come one. Do not get that excited. It's a silly tradition. Year-around we wear the same clothes, or should I say uniforms? That's idiotic!" No one said anything else. Silence broke the walls. They went to bed without eating.
It's November: Ian still does not remember the U.S. Only the day before, he got infuriated inside their local grocery store when he saw all the people putting a huge bird in their cart. "But this is what people eat on Thanksgiving! Stop with this nonsense! People are not going to eat only cranberry sauce and gravy because you… have a phase, or whatever this is." Ian did not say a word. He stormed out of the store.
At wintertime, the scenario repeated. The worst was on Valentine's Day: the hearts, the cheap love messages, and the stuffed teddy bears… "I cannot live like this like a product." Over the span of this unusual exposure to iconic American binging sale moments, Gabriel agreed with Ian's particular amnesia. But he did not have a chance to tell him that.
On Sunday God was smoking pot. He said he had tried his best and failed. Adam could not have a companion. If he felt lonely, he should try to see how hard the process really was. After all, God reasoned, there was never a companion for him either. He had to do all the things by himself. In retrospect, was that the best decision? But who could judge God? Is there a higher entity than Him?
For several months, Adam did not care he was alone in Paradise. He was discovering his surroundings and he was making notes on leaves. There were so many, that at one point, jokingly, he nicknamed it the "tree of knowledge." Everything was full of life and color. But there were no objects. Back then it has just Adam and nature. It looked serene, completely out-of-this-world.
God said Adam was lucky. He just finished a huge art project for the celestial annual festival and he had plenty of tin foil left. He said it would make Adam a companion.
Adams pulled out a rib. He wanted to make God shut up once and for all.
Oh, my… Oh, my. The ugly truth unleashed its odor. Adam discovered that that was not a rib but something made out of clay. He pulled out one after another, as if he was in a frenzy. Clay, clay, more clay! In fact, only clay. Adam the man realized he had always been Adam the pot, Adam the object. When he was ready to pull out his final rib, God got a grip of Adam and yelled: "Stop it! NOW! Leave that rib to me. With this tin foil and that clay rib I will make you the most beautiful companion." Adam wanted to talk. "Do not fight with me. There is no reason to start a fight when you will lose. Wait. Or go to sleep. Yes, do that." When Adam woke up, next to him, there was a tiny creature. He named her Eve. E for everlasting, V for voice, and E for ending. EVERLASTING.VOICE. ENDING.
Without any ribs, Adam woke up so he could die or give birth to Eve. The ultimate sacrifice. Eve was now lonely in Paradise. Of course, she had no idea where she was. She found the notes all scattered on the ground and the tree of knowledge stripped off of everything. She laughed. She finally realized what she was supposed to do there: laugh. She made planes out of those leaves. Leaves-planes. "What's the point of living if one is alone?" I'd rather fly and see everything from a distance. Eve has been circling around since then. Leaves-planes are seen every now and then and elders nod their heads knowingly.
Actually, if I am not mistaken, these special planes are still circling up above. Lift your head to see for yourselves.

Well | Untreated Dental Decay Is Falling Among Children
Untreated Dental Decay Is Falling Among Children
By Catherine Saint Louis

Cavities in preschoolers appear to be declining and fewer young children have untreated dental decay, federal health authorities reported on Thursday.
It is the first drop in dental decay for this age group since 2007, when a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cited an alarming rise in decayed baby teeth.
Dr. Bruce Dye, the lead author of the past two C.D.C. reports on oral health, said that "only 10 percent of preschooler kids have untreated tooth decay.
"This is the lowest percentage we have seen in the past 25 years," he added.
Though the results cover just two years of data and may not be "statistically significant," they suggest some promising broad-stroke trends, Dr. Dye said. The 2007 report, which shocked dentists and led to policy changes, used five years of data. The numbers come from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a robust sample of national trends.
A number of experts were encouraged by the promising downward trend, especially since toddlers with the most decay often get treated under general anesthesia in an operating room.
Still, others warned that the epidemic of preschool cavities is far from over, despite the apparent dip.
The agency found that 23 percent of children ages 2 to 5 had cavities from 2011 to 2012, down from 28 percent from 1999 to 2004.
"It's encouraging to see a five-point reduction among kids 2 to 5," said Patrice Pascual, the executive director of the Children's Dental Health Project, a nonprofit group, though nearly a quarter of young children still had an "infection that puts them at risk for having holes in their teeth."
Any number of factors could play a role in the apparent decline, though the report did not address reasons. There are more pediatric dentists today. By the end of the 2012 fiscal year, nearly half of children ages 1 to 20 were reported to have received dental care under Medicaid, compared with just 29 percent in 2000. Also, more pediatricians have been trained to tell parents to visit a dentist by age 1.
More very young children are getting their cavities filled — the percentage of untreated cavities for 2- to 5-year-olds fell from 20 percent from 1999 to 2004 to 10 percent from 2011 to 2012. That means fewer children are going to school in pain.
However, repairing a cavity does not stop the underlying progressive bacterial infection that caused the hole in the first place. Stopping such preventable disease requires not only regular dental care but also changing behaviors, like limiting sugar-sweetened beverages or limiting snacks to 15-minute periods. All-day grazing on Cheerios leaves teeth in a harmful acidic bath longer.
The new C.D.C. data shows that tooth decay is "marching through teenhood," Ms. Pascual said. From 2011 to 2012, 56 percent of 6- to 8-year-olds had cavities on baby teeth, while half of 12- to 15-year-olds did on permanent ones. An even larger percentage of 16- to 19-years-old — 67 percent — had decay.
For preteens and older children, Dr. Jonathan Shenkin, the vice president of the American Dental Association, said he would have expected to see cavity rates declining since the 2007 report.
Not so. "The thing that's really surprising is the stagnation of the caries experience between the ages of 6 and 19, instead of seeing a decline," said Dr. Shenkin, a pediatric dentist in Augusta, Me., referring to tooth decay.
Also noteworthy is that racial disparities in tooth decay in elementary school disappear by adolescence, when cavities become an equal-opportunity affliction.
For instance, 46 percent of Hispanic children younger than 8 and 44 percent of non-Hispanic black children that age had cavities, compared with 31 percent of white children. But the margin of difference is just 4 percent for 12- to 19-years-olds.
"The million-dollar question is why haven't we seen much change with adolescents with caries experience?" said Dr. Dye, who is now a dental epidemiology officer for the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.
Dr. Man Wai Ng, the chief of the dentistry department at Boston Children's Hospital, noted that teenagers skip brushing at night because "they are falling asleep while texting," and they report "drinking sugary beverages at all hours to stay awake." After assessing risk, Dr. Ng, a spokeswoman for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, works with families to establish a self-care plan to help keep children cavity-free.
Teeth are dynamic. If they demineralize at a quicker rate than they remineralize, you get a cavity, said Dr. Burton Edelstein, a professor of dentistry and health policy at Columbia University. Conversely, it is possible to remineralize a decaying tooth by arresting the disease process, he said.
This month, Dr. Edelstein debuted a federally funded program that will send community health workers to families to assess their children's cavity risk and to try to arrest any forming cavities. Using iPads loaded with a cavity-risk assessment tool called MySmileBuddy, these workers, who are not dental professionals, help create plans with parents to modify behaviors that stoke the preschooler's decay process.
The hope is that such a program will "reduce the likelihood that a child will have to go to the operating room," he said.
Dr. Courtney Chinn, the program director for advanced education in pediatric dentistry at New York University, agreed that dentists need to "collaborate with others to come up with innovative nonsurgical management of disease."
Only then, Dr. Chinn said, will we chip away at the 23 percent of preschoolers with cavities. "It's still a quarter," he said. "What else can we do?"

Date Range Picker for Bootstrap Yii Extension

This date range picker component for Bootstrap creates a dropdown menu from which a user can
select a range of dates. I created it while building the UI for [Improvely](http://www.improvely.com),
which needed a way to select date ranges for reports.

## Example
```php
<?php
$this->widget('ext.JalaliDateRangePicker.JalaliDateRangePicker',array(
	'name'=>'Date',
	'options' => array(
		// 'singleDatePicker' => true,
		'format' => 'jYYYY/jMM/jDD',
		'viewformat' => 'jYYYY/jMM/jDD',
		'minDate' => Rezvan::PersianDate(time(), 'Y/m/d', false, false),
		'placement' => 'right',
		'opens' => 'left',
		// 'showDropdowns'=> true,
		// 'timePicker' => true,
		// 'timePicker24Hour' => true,
		'locale'=>array(
			'format'=> 'jYYYY/jMM/jDD',
			'separator'=> ' - ',
			'applyLabel'=> Yii::t('zii', 'Apply'),
			'cancelLabel' => Yii::t('zii', 'Cancel'),
			'fromLabel' => Yii::t('zii', 'From'),
			'toLabel' => Yii::t('zii', 'To'),
			'customRangeLabel' => 'Custom',
			'daysOfWeek'=>array(
				'یک',
				'دو',
				'سه',
				'چهار',
				'پنج',
				'جمعه',
				'شنبه',
			),
			'monthNames'=>array(
				'فروردین',
				'اردیبهشت',
				'خرداد',
				'تیر',
				'مرداد',
				'شهریور',
				'مهر',
				'آبان',
				'آذر',
				'دی',
				'بهمن',
				'اسفند',
			),
			'firstDay' => 6
		),
	),
	'htmlOptions'=>array(
		'class'=>'form-control'

Q: Tables not showing up and migrations not visible after `python manage.py migrate` I'm following the official tutorial on Django and have run python manage.py migrate in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/intro/tutorial02/ . After this, I'd expect some files to show up in polls/migrations, but there is just an empty __init__.py there, and when I run sqlite3 and type .tables or .schema, nothing is output. Still, the python manage.py migrate command seems successful:
$ python manage.py migrate
Operations to perform:
  Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions
Running migrations:
  Applying contenttypes.0001_initial... OK
  Applying auth.0001_initial... OK
  Applying admin.0001_initial... OK
  Applying admin.0002_logentry_remove_auto_add... OK
  Applying contenttypes.0002_remove_content_type_name... OK
  Applying auth.0002_alter_permission_name_max_length... OK
  Applying auth.0003_alter_user_email_max_length... OK
  Applying auth.0004_alter_user_username_opts... OK
  Applying auth.0005_alter_user_last_login_null... OK

  Applying auth.0007_alter_validators_add_error_messages... OK
  Applying auth.0008_alter_user_username_max_length... OK
  Applying sessions.0001_initial... OK

What's going wrong here?
EDIT:
Added 'polls', to my INSTALLED_APPS. Then:
$ python manage.py makemigrations
Migrations for 'polls':
  polls/migrations/0001_initial.py
    - Create model Choice
    - Create model Question
    - Add field question to choice
(django) Sahands-MacBook-Pro:mysite sahandzarrinkoub$ python manage.py migrate
Operations to perform:
  Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, polls, sessions
Running migrations:
  Applying polls.0001_initial... OK
(django) Sahands-MacBook-Pro:mysite sahandzarrinkoub$ sqlite3
SQLite version 3.16.0 2016-11-04 19:09:39
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database.
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database.
sqlite> .schema
sqlite>

Same problem.
EDIT2: Upon running python manage.py dbshell, .schema and .tables finally produced output.

A: At first, check if your polls app exists in your INSTALLED_APPS list in settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'polls',
]

And then try to run makemigrations before doing migrate:
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python3 manage.py migrate

EDIT:
Now, as your polls table is created in your database, you can access the sqlite3 client by running $ python manage.py dbshell:
$ python manage.py dbshell
sqlite> .schema

The difference between running just sqlite3 and python manage.py dbshell is said in the docs:

django-admin dbshell
Runs the command-line client for the database engine specified in your ENGINE setting, with the connection parameters specified in your USER, PASSWORD, etc., settings.

A: You might have done something wrong or you might not have. It depends

*

*If you have not created any model in models.py file and you have registered you app in settings.py INSTALLED_APPS
In this case, you are not doing anything wrong. Django will create a migration in the migrations folder of your app when you have created at least one model and you have register your app in INSTALLED_APPS

*If you have created models but have forgotten to add your app to INSTALLED_APPS
In this case, you just have to add your app's name to INSTALLED_APPS
Hope this helps

Chilling confession: 'I hate my wife and daughter'
By 9Honey| 2 years ago
A user has posted a confessional thread on Reddit, explaining why he "hates" his wife and daughter.
The explosive admission, by user OffMyChestPlox, was posted on the platform overnight and began by explaining the start of his and his wife's relationship, "We met too young, 21. We got pregnant too young, 22. We got married too young, 26."
"Back then I was so full of love, hope and excitement," the user continued. "But it's gradually been ground down to dust over the last 13 years since our daughter was born.
I was still basically a child when my child was born, thanks to a faulty birth control implant. I was robbed of any chance of making something of myself, but I was happy back then to see her born. How stupid of me."
'I was robbed of any chance of making something of myself' the Reddit user claims. (Reddit)
He writes that while his wife is "sexy, loving, smart, funny", they had a disagreement two years ago and decided to separate for a month. During that time, both of them went on Tinder to try their hand at dating other people.
The poster didn't sleep with anyone, but his wife did, and when they got back together – because she's "literally the only woman who has ever or will ever give me the time of day" – he resented her for that.
"She told me that she hooked up with four guys from Tinder because she was, as she put it 'desperate for attention', she was upfront about it and she was begging me to look past it, I told her that it was OK but that was a lie.
I try my best and get rejected 1,000,000 times and of course she's a female so she gets to pick and f--king choose who, when, where and how she f--ks."
"She's the only woman I've ever slept with and likely the only woman I will ever sleep with… it's not fair," the poster continued.
"To make matters worse even our daughter was digging into me with some bulls--t of her own, guilt-tripping me for not making something she knew I didn't have time for."
'It's not fair.' (Reddit)
"I hate them, so very badly," he writes. "My life is ruined, my self esteem is ruined. I resent my wife for sleeping around while on break and I resent my daughter for being the terrible bully she is. I want nothing more than for them both to just POOF out of existence taking with them all my memories of them.
[My wife] has no idea that I feel this way and she keeps asking why I don't want her love anymore. I'll never tell her, divorce would leave me in a much worse state than I am now, and I would be financially ruined for life."
In a self-pitying summary, the user says he will continue to stay with "two people he doesn't care about anymore" but wishes he could talk to someone about his feelings.
'I hate them so very badly,' the post's writer says. (Reddit)
Commenters on the thread appeared disturbed by the poster's confession.
One user wrote, "You seem to be very selfish. Weren't you also on tinder?? And you get mad at her? I bet if you had hooked up with other people you would be singing a different tune."
Another said, "Your post terrifies me."
Anonymous man calls 13-year-old daughter 'evil'. (iStock)
In comments responding to others, the user also called his 13-year-old daughter "evil", "You don't know this kid, she's vindictive and literally evil," he wrote.
"You hate [your wife] for being able to do something you can't," one commenter said. "You don't hate her, you hate yourself."
But this user summed it up well:

In essence... the whole cosmic world rotates between I and you. When you... God Almighty... the Creator of the Cosmos explodes with a big bang... all individual selves... I's (all souls atmans) start their cosmic journey.
From the first manifestation to the last... the goal of I remains... merging with the greater I! God Almighty himself! In the world of souls' atmans... the physical manifest self is a temporal phase. Other than cleansing of the real self... our soul atman within... there is no other purpose for human life!
In every given circumstance of life and time... the analogy of I and you always holds good!

Lafayette, Colo. -- On this Colorado Gives Day, the city of Lafayette is giving something special back to its community: a mid 20th century Coca-Cola mural.
The mural was discovered many months ago inside the wall of an old building. It had been covered up. But the fate of that building involved it being demolished.
Upon tearing down a piece of the building, the city discovered the mural.
Lafayette's mural committee sprung into action and decided to save the piece of art and clean it up.
"It's really important to maintain the history of any city, in this case, Lafayette," said Sally Martin, Chairperson of the mural committee.
The committee spent months fixing the mural up, while it sat inside Lafayette's Fire Department. Eventually it was moved to old town Lafayette, where it resides at 101 N. Public Road.
Over the weekend, a community-wide celebration was held to thank the folks who helped preserve it.
You can see the full story by watching Kevin Torres' "Unique 2 Colorado" Report on the mural's dedication.

The US should keep its Cancel culturist away from the Indian Armed Forces
Published August 16, 2022 | By admin
SOURCE: SATYAJEET KUMAR/ FOR MY TAKE / IDRW.ORG
While India celebrated 75 years of Independence, Western left Cabral media unleased coordinated attacks on the Indian democracy. Most focused on why the United States Sheriff of the wild wild west should force India to perfect its Democracy by suggesting ways India can come under Good books of the Woke infected cancel culture of America.
Some wanted to talk about the conditions of Indian Muslims and others wanted to get assets that are in Jail or facing serious cases in India to be given clean shot so that they can continue their coordinated attacks on the Indian democracy. While most of the western media's so-called oped concentrated on attacking the present-day Government led by PM Modi, Foreign Policy decides to go after the Indian Armed forces.
Foreign Policy wanted Indian security aid to be linked to Indian Armed forces operations so that Human rights violations can be prevented in areas like Kashmir and the Northeast. The article called for U.S. lawmakers to ensure that the Indian military does not commit further human rights violations suggesting it becomes a Big Brother of the Indian Armed Forces and the Indian military should be held to the same standards to which the United States holds its other security partners.
It is not clear what Security Aid Foreign Policy was talking about, since the sale of weapons to India under direct Government to Government deals were all paid by the Indian Taxpayers, unlike Pakistan where weapons were transferred to fight the war in Afghanistan which was majority funded by the American taxpayers. Indian Armed forces have no obligation to listen to US Lawmakers and if they want to curb the transfer of weapons to India then India has plenty of options and partners who can supply them to India.
One thing foreign Policy got right was that it is indeed the United States that is bending over backward to enhance U.S.-India ties so the Indian Armed Forces have no obligations to act like Lieutenant of the US Armed forces in the region. India can very well manage its own security needs and not fall for carrot and stick methods that are often used by the American deep state to keep countries in line. India already has shown that it has a foreign policy that is independent when it comes to Russia and India will continue to restrict allowing Woke Cancel culture to dictate terms of security alliance with the United States.

Hamas Envisions West Bank Takeover, Destruction of Israel
by Steven Emerson
Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Zahar. Photo: Wiki Commons.
Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahar stated that the terrorist organization intends on establishing an Islamic state in all of Palestine, insinuating the destruction of Israel, according to a Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) translation of Al-Ayyam last week.
"[Some] have said Hamas wants to create an Islamic emirate in Gaza. We won't do that, but we will build an Islamic state in Palestine, all of Palestine," stated Al-Zahar, a senior Hamas political bureau member.
Moreover, Al-Zahar believes that if Hamas established a military position in the West Bank it would be capable of destroying the Jewish State.
According to the PMW report, "Al-Zahar said that if his movement [Hamas] were to 'transfer what it has or just a small part of it to the West Bank, we would be able to settle the battle of the final promise with a speed that no one can imagine.'"
Al-Zahar referenced a segment of the Quran concerning "the final promise" to justify a future war to eliminate Israel:
"Then when the final promise came, [We sent your enemies]… to enter the temple in Jerusalem, as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction.'" [Surah 17:7]
In August, a Hamas spokesman admitted that Hamas' main objective is the "liberation of our Palestinian land" and not simply the lifting of Israel's internationally legal blockade of Gaza.
"The time has come for us to say that our true war is not aimed at opening the border crossings. Our true war is aimed at the liberation of Jerusalem, Allah willing," said Sami Abu Zuhri to a cheering Palestinian crowd.
During the latest war, Israel foiled an extensive Hamas plot to initiate a Third Intifada against Israel andfacilitate the overthrow of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank, akin to the terrorist organization's 2007 coup against Fatah in Gaza.
A recent Palestinian poll confirms that Hamas' popularity remains higher than the Palestinian Authority (PA) in both Gaza and the West Bank. According to the Palestinian Center for Policy Research, if elections took place in the West Bank between Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and PA President Mahmoud Abbas, Haniyeh would emerge victorious with 55 percent support over Abbas' 38 percent.
Despite the signing of a Hamas-Israel ceasefire following the 50-day war this past summer, the terrorist organization continues to produce rockets an"Žd remains committed to waging a future war against Israel.
The Israeli Navy has foiled multiple attempts to smuggle manufacturing items for building weapons to Hamas off the coast of Gaza since the end of the war, according to a senior navy commander speaking with the Jerusalem Post last week. "Ž

Joann Yost still feels the stares of the other military wives five years after her husband was killed in Iraq: It happens at ceremonies honoring fallen soldiers or when she�s grocery shopping with her son.
It is unsettling, but Yost understands. In this North Carolina community a half-hour from Fort Bragg, where homes are draped with American flags and where it�s not uncommon to see men in buzz cuts, the 44-year-old Yost is a reminder of everything that can go wrong in war, how lives can change overnight.
�These women look at me and know how close it could have been their husband,� said Yost, mother of a 6-year-old boy.
It is hard to be a young military widow. Yost and others say they feel out of place in both civilian life and in their military communities. They have lost their husbands, but also their very identities, and their connections to towns that once provided a critical support system.
Increasingly, they are turning to social networks and organizations for help in adjusting to their new lives.
To be sure, it is difficult for anyone who has lost a spouse to move on with life. But military wives feel an even greater weight, said Michelle Hernandez, founder of the Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation, a national support network for the bereaved.
Hernandez said the pain is compounded because military wives immerse themselves in a different world. They learn the acronyms sprinkled in soldier-speak, attend a calendar filled with military-hosted social events, and adopt the schedule of long leaves and weekends between deployments.
They also share a similar world view: They are sacrificing their family life and lives defending freedom.
As a result, their struggle to move on is also harder. They often feel that if they start to date again, they are betraying not just the memory of their deceased husbands but also that of fallen national heroes.
Many surviving spouses try to continue living near bases to maintain a connection to their previous life. Some send care packages to their husbands� units � even if they did not know many of the new troops. They go to military-sponsored balls.
But many find themselves trapped in a state of restless uncertainty. They don�t feel as comfortable as before in military life, but they don�t want to totally leave it, either.
Joann Yost sometimes feels as if she is wearing a giant �W� on her chest.
�It�s not OK for us to laugh. It�s not OK for us to smile. They don�t understand how we�re doing it. I find myself consoling people,� she said.
Yost sees military wives counting the number of drinks she orders at a bar or whispering when she speaks to another man. In some ways, she understands. She remembers doing the same to another military widow before her own husband died.
Master Sgt. Tony Yost was killed in 2005 after an explosion went off in a building where he was searching for insurgents in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul. He was 39.
Three weeks after her husband�s death, Yost buried him in Arlington National Cemetery. The coffin was closed and she never saw his body.
At night, when the house was quiet, she cried.
�They say time heals all wounds, but for a widow I don�t think it does,� Yost said.
Now, she is acutely aware of the peculiar status of widows in the community.
There are more than 54,000 survivors of spouses who served in conflicts from World War II to Afghanistan. Fort Bragg has almost 2,000 surviving spouses, parents and children in its database and formed a group, Fort Bragg Survivor Outreach Services, to help widows find a community where they feel comfortable.

Meet The Adorable Wobbly Cat With Separation Anxiety Who Has A Cute Kitten For His Emotional Support Companion!
by Cat McAuliffe February 1, 2018, 11:12 pm
The first time Joanne Thongpheng of Manitoba, Canada, heard about cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), she had no idea how common the neurological condition was, nor that cats born with CH can live happy and active lives. Joanne first learned about the condition in July 2014 when she and her husband went to their local animal rescue to pick up two cats, brothers Connolly and Nealon, to foster, when they met a little kitten who was going to be put to sleep.

"There was a little kitten that was diagnosed with severe CH and they were bringing her in to have her euthanized due to the lack of quality of life she would have," remembers Joanne, and she asked to cuddle the tiny cat. "As I held her, my heart started to break because she was so small and her life was going to be short-lived," says Joanne. "I told her that I was sorry and gave her a kiss on her little head."
Joanne and her husband left the rescue and returned to their home with their newest pair of foster cats, and shortly after they let the brothers out of their cage, they noticed that Nealon seemed to be a little wobbly. The couple contacted the rescue, and they learned that Nealon had mild CH, the same condition as the tiny kitten who had just been euthanized, and Joanne immediately started researching the neurological condition online.
"I read that a lot of kittens and cats with CH are never really given a fighting chance to live a normal life," explains Joanne. "It made me think back to the little kitten that I held in her final hours. I felt horrible. I could have taken her home and tried giving her second chance."
Cerebellar hypoplasia is a non-progressive neurological condition that usually occurs when a pregnant cat contracts the panleukopenia virus, causing her unborn kittens to have underdeveloped cerebellums. Because the cerebellum is related to balance and coordination, cats with CH tend to have head tremors and wobble when they walk, and those with the more severe form of the condition may have very limited mobility.
While Joanne wasn't able to save the tiny kitten with severe CH, she decided that very day that she was going to find another cat with the condition and give them a loving home. "I got in touch with local rescues, the Humane Society, and veterinary hospitals to see if they had or knew of a kitten or cat with CH," says Joanne, but at the time, no one had a kitty with a more severe form of the condition, and she and her husband ended up adopting Nealon and his brother Connolly, their foster kittens.
Years passed, when in July 2016, Joanne was browsing Kijiji, a classified ad website, when she spotted an ad for Smudge, a kitten with CH. While the special needs cat turned out not to be right for Joanne and her husband, Smudge's owner thought one of her daughter's kittens, a ginger and white cat with severe CH, might be the perfect pet for the couple.

"She sent me pictures," remembers Joanne, "and I instantly teared up. He was the spitting image of my 18-year-old Beemer that we had to help cross the Rainbow Bridge earlier that year." Joanne was smitten with the little kitten, who was named Fredrick at the time, and she agreed to adopt him, sight unseen, and arranged to meet the tiny wobbly cat in his home.
When Joanne saw the kitten for the first time, he was less than two months old, and she was surprised at how small and skinny he was, as well as how severe his CH appeared to be in comparison to Nealon, her cat with the mild form of the condition. "I admit the thought of 'What did I get myself into?' crossed my mind," remembers Joanne, "but when he made his way to my lap, all of my doubt was washed away with one look from [him]."
That day, the little kitten became a part of Joanne's family, and the couple — who already had two cats with Irish names — began searching for the perfect Celtic name for the wobbly kitty, eventually settling on Ronan. "The meaning behind the name Ronan is 'little seal' and since he does flip flop around a lot," says Joanne, "I found it to be perfect and insanely adorable."
Indeed, Ronan proved to move around much like a little seal, and it definitely took Joanne and her husband some time to adjust to caring for a cat with severe CH when they'd only had experience caring for kitties with more mild forms of the neurological condition. "He needed help going to the litter box," says Joanne. "He needed help with eating and drinking."
However, Joanne and her husband were dedicated to keeping Ronan, and over time they developed a routine that works well for everyone, and they've recently started doing exercises to help him improve his strength in his back legs. "Since then, Ronan has been super active and plays a lot more," says Joanne. "With the help of my husband, Ronan makes the effort to 'run' when being called, which is adorable! The joy in his face when he runs is priceless."
In addition to CH, Joanne discovered this adorable ginger and white cat has severe separation anxiety, which made it difficult for her and her husband to be away from Ronan for any length of time. "When left alone, Ronan would get into a lethargic state, refusing to eat, drink or go to the litter box," explains Joanne. "He would also excessively drool all over himself."
Thankfully, the solution to Ronan's separation anxiety came in the form of Aurora, a tiny little kitten Joanne and her husband agreed to foster for their local rescue. "She has been Ronan's saving grace," says Joanne, "and they have been inseparable since the day she came through our doors."
With the love and support of Aurora and his mom and dad, Ronan is now a happy and healthy cat who has an active life filled with lots of fun. When he's not cuddling with parents or his dog and cat siblings, this adorable ginger and white kitty loves jumping into his tunnel, playing with his interactive butterfly toy, and chewing on foam balls.
Ronan also enjoys snoozing in his bed, soaking up the sun, and keeping an eye on the neighborhood from the window. "Another favorite activity of his — and definitely not mine — is going after toes!" says Joanne. "He got me a few times."
While Ronan is like a typical cat in lots of different ways, he does require more care than the average kitty, although Joanne certainly doesn't mind making the extra effort to help this adorable ginger and white feline have a happy life. "I find that the one of the biggest misconceptions that people have about cats with CH is that they cannot have a good quality of life and should not be given that second chance," says Joanne.
However, Joanne — who was inspired to adopt Ronan after meeting a kitten who was going to be put to sleep simply for having severe CH — believes it's important to always give special needs cats the opportunity to prove they're capable of having happy lives. "May it be a few weeks, a few months, a few years, to give them that second chance," says Joanne, "they will only know and remember the love shared between them and their owners."
No one knows exactly how much time Joanne and her husband will have with Ronan — or for that matter, any of their pets — but there's no doubt this adorable wobbly cat will have a life filled with endless love and affection, nor is their any doubt that he'll show his appreciation to his parents by showering them with affection and teaching them some of the most important life lessons anyone can learn.
"Ronan means the world to me. He has taught me what compassion, diligence, commitment, responsibility, patience, and most of all, love, truly means," says Joanne. "He makes my heart smile."

Summary of How the West Can Adapt to a Rising Asia
TED, 2019
Looking for the video?
Eye Opening
China's meteoric rise to become the world's second-largest economy and a major global power stunned the world, including the West, which has dominated the international order for the past 200 years. But if the West had paid close attention, Asia's emergence – or re-emergence – wouldn't have come as a surprise, according to geopolitical analyst Kishore Mahbubani. With pragmatism and faith in the enduring potential of Western civilization, he offers a refreshing take on an issue that has evoked much anxiety and pessimism in the West.
Kishore Mahbubani is a distinguished fellow at the National University of Singapore's Asia Research Institute. As a diplomat, he served twice as president of the United Nations Security Council.
Western civilization's dominance within the international order since the early 1800s is an "aberration."
For almost two millennia, China and India consistently boasted the two largest economies in the world. But in about 1820, Europe and subsequently North America began to command the largest share of global economic output.
As the West began to dominate economically, it exported its "art of reasoning" to the world. Asia thereby began to adopt the core features of the Western system, which led to "three silent revolutions" in Asia. First, Asia adopted Western free market economics, which posits that letting markets make decisions is the most efficient way to increase productivity. Second, Asia borrowed the Western belief in free will and self-determination, which led to the proliferation of entrepreneurship throughout Asia. Third, Asia began to implement Western principles of good governance...

"Accelerates Quotes and Reduces Costs"
Reduced time required for order entry and order review process, allowing sales to sell faster by guiding them to optimal product options and configurations, from simple to complex, for its measuring technology.
The main issue most users have is that the text editors are very archaic. Considering how advanced the software is, you would think that Oracle would invest more in the editors. It would be nice if the text editors were like MS Word, allowing the users to copy/paste quickly, adjust the formatting, and use a tool that most are very familiar with.
If your looking to standardize your quote-to-order process across your operations than CPQ Cloud is the right choice. We selected Oracle Configure, Price, and Quote Cloud (Oracle CPQ Cloud) to streamline and manage our entire quote-to-cash process—from inquiry to order fulfillment—and ultimately provide a superior customer experience.
With Oracle Configure, Price, and Quote Cloud in place across our global operations, we have streamlined the entire quote-to-order process. The flexible and scalable cloud tool enables us to deliver a superior customer experience and supports our rapidly growing business for the long haul.
I work at Stein Mart as a cashier, I started a month ago and after just 3 days I was able to use this system perfectly fine, it's so easy to use and allows me to work fast and efficiently without mistakes.
I don't find anything wrong with it, the only thing I would recommend is to use better resolution for the system and a little brighter colors.
I like that I can go directly into BMI from SF. Once you get the system down, it is fairly easy to enter opportunities, contact information of clients and track progress of the work. Its also easy to go back and see what you entered or someone else entered to review.
i commonly get an error after something is saved that says "Sale Fail" which is extremely frustrating because sometimes entering an intricate opportunity with tons of detail takes an hour plus and we arent able to get anything back and have to re-enter everything when we get this error.
I love how many options the software offers with extensive detail. It really provides a leg up on the competition during the sales process. This product is a must!
The product is a few iterations away from being easy to use out of the box. There are a few improvements that can be made in the UX that would complement the incredible data utilization.
To start with this is an excellent product but is a few iterations away. The benefits far out-weight the downsides of the product. The cloud is the future in technology and reduces costs substantially.
Not sure if this is a BMI issue or a SF issue but i commonly get an error after something is saved that says "Sale Fail" which is extremely frustrating because sometimes entering an intricate opportunity with tons of detail takes an hour plus and we arent able to get anything back and have to re-enter everything when we get this error.
Do not copy and paste anything into the content boxes where you need to type, in doing so, you will get a sale fail. We brought this up to SF and BMI but all they could suggest was not to do it vs fixing the problem.
We are helping solve problems where multiple people and teams can go in and edit opportunities created in BMI which is great because it allows us to work closely as a team. It also provides us with email updates once something is sold through so the entire team is triggered. On top of that, once a sale in BMI is sold, it moves to EPIC (another software system we use) so our producers can see everything and start working more efficiently and quickly.
"Difficult at first but better over time"
Training definitely needed to get going but its better as you get used to it. Great for collaboration with management for quotes/props.
"Effectively efficiant when implemented "
When used as assigned it works great for "guiding" the sales process and aligning all the metrics needed for accurate tracking and reporting. Just need to make sure all sales divisions are onboard and fully understand the proc as and procedure.
Accesible on any device and SO easy to use...this software comes HIGHLY recomended for any business looking to simplify their sells process. Just set to automate and forget it!!
Theres absolutely nothing to dislike pertaining to Oracles merge with Big machines...Product is excellent and customer service is superb.
Easy approvals, conversions, and order exucution. This product eliminates the need for multiple softwares doing different task. It is a all in one masterpiece! Just set your sells process to automate and watch it work like magic.
"This cloud based system is a huge help to our company. "
Sometimes it can be a little confusing for some of the new people here.
I think they're doing a great job and they really make it easy for consumers and businesses to find what they are really looking for in a system like this.
Orcale pulls reports that I cannot do myslef. It provides real time data to the work that I currently do.
Sometimes it lags and freezes. However, a simple restart helps.
Oracle allows me to look at real time adherence as well as time stamps. It pulls up real time chats in case assitance is needed.
Incredibly easy to use, very user-friendly interface.
Sometimes a bit difficult to log in information, but otherwise a very simple program to understand.
High recommendation - very useful product in the work place.
It has helped me organize my information in much easier methods.
What I like best about Oracle is that it's a one stop shop place. You can have more tools for it, but for the most part, everything you need comes out of the box.
What I dislike is that, from what i've heard it's pricey in comparison to the other tools out there.
The business problems we are solving is a CRM based platform. We handle mainly sales out of this platform.
"Very user friendly and easy "
I like the ability to customize the data views and the export to PDF and excel features.
I dislike how at times uploading data to cloud is slow and space is limited.
Look into the cloud solution.
It is used to prioritize; our decision making during the hiring process is based on the data presented.
"Big time help where you need it!"
Having a cloud based system is a huge help for a mobile company! Love that I can use it anywhere I need to.
I have little dislike for it at all. Does what I need. Only thing can be slow if connection is not great.
If you have a need for something like this it is worth the investment.
Able to stay mobile and not be tied to one spot to be productive. Help with meeting the needs of my clients and staying on top of all business aspects.
The user interface is very simple to pick up as soon as someone sits down and walks you through it a few times you'll look like you've been doing it forever.
The constant updates the user in the company has been receiving for like the past 14 months; it has really improved a lot of things a user endures while using the software.
Some moments when there can be random freezing while dealing with software lately.
While using this product on a weekly basis, it has really been as easier process in the last 14 months dealing with the usage of how it's affected while using at work.
Ability to quote products and track all past and current bids for quote.
Reporting was difficult to pull. There could be improvements made to this.
"Simple and easy to use "
How easy it is to use and how it is very iPad friendly.
When submitting an expense report there are a lot of steps when I think it could be simpler.
Submitting expense reports. Benefits are that everything is in one spot.
The layout was user-friendly and allowed me to complete tasks efficiently and document tasks well. Copy and pasting directly from excel is a huge help.
I see more of the opportunities for sales since the software does a lot of the processing for me and in an easy to view format.
BigMachine allowed our purchasing team to quickly input formulas for quoting purposes and helped streamline our processes.
When there was a mistake in the formulas, it was a long process to locate the issue and find the right person to fix it. This may have just been an internal issue, but it caused a lot of delays for our team.
Using rate card pricing for quoting needs on a day to day basis.
Easy access to big data to help me run key analysis reports. Love that I can push to many other teams as well.
Sometimes can pull anomalies that make reporting inaccurate, but can fix with ease after touching base with technical counterpart.
Provides major lift in helping me find success by staying organized, using key analysis reports, and finding new opportunities to work.
It's my 2nd favorite software for sales and it's easy to get the hang of using it.
The benefits to me would be the tabs. The tabs make it easier to navigate from one page to another unlike other programs that make you reopen the program to get another tab up.
The ease of use for finding prospective clients in a well organized way. Using this software.
The applications can be improved with updates otherwise that's the only issue.
"One of the best tools "
Sometimes loading time might take a little longer than expected.
Otherwise, I had only a positive experience so far.
I like that once you get the hang of it, everything is simplified.
The system appears out of date.sometimes it crashes and it takes a while to learn because there are a lot of resources.
It is good for accounting and displays totals easily and visably.
User friendliness and personalization ..
"It's so easy and simple to use.It gives you a lot of options when using it that best fits your needs"
It takes no time time to load and easy to access.
Sometimes it kicks you out and you have to reload.
It's open to where you don't have to use many programs cause it has everything you need.
It useful when your using a softphone and your able to also use it inbound and out bound.

The flexibility, scalablity, usability of the product.

"Product works, but has it's flaws and quirks."
I've used Oracle for almost 6 years now and have gotten it down pretty well, but it's hard to teach/train.

There are a lot of functions. Always available in cloud.
With all the functions, this can create confusion and difficulty.

Q: How to convert string to integer and determine if it's less than Int32.MinValue or greater than Int32.MaxValue? I have the following piece of code which attempts to determine whether a given string is a valid integer. If it's an integer, but not within the valid range of Int32, I need to know specifically whether it's greater than Int32.MaxValue or less than Int32.MinValue.
try
{
     return System.Convert.ToInt32(input);
}
catch (OverflowException)
{
     return null;
}
catch (FormatException)
{
     return null;
}

Convert.ToInt32 will throw the OverflowException if it's not in the range of acceptable values, but it throws the same exception for both greater than and less than. Is there a way to determine which one it is aside from parsing out the text of the exception?

A: As you're using .NET 4, you could use BigInteger - parse to that, and then compare the result with the BigInteger representations of int.MaxValue and int.MinValue.
However, I would urge you to use TryParse instead of catching an exception and using that for flow control.

A: You could convert it to Int64 (i.e. long) instead, and then do the comparison yourself. That will also eliminate an exception as control flow situation.

A: There is a very simple way to know if the input that threw an OverflowException (or gave a false if you used TryParse) is more than Int32.MaxValue or less than Int32.MinValue: a number less than Int32.MinValue will be a negative one, so its string representation will begin with a '-' !

A: The idea is:
bool isWrong = false;
bool isLarge = false;
if (!Int32.TryParse(rawValue, out int32Holder))
{
      if (!Int64.TryParse(rawValue, out int64Holder))
      {
           isWrong = true;
      }
      else
      {
           isLarge = true;
      }
}
