I decorated the hood on our stove and our outside doors with these boxwood wreaths (#1). They are so pretty and go so well with our light gray exterior doors.
The gold beverage cart (#4)and the side table (#6) are two new additions to my wish list. We are throwing some holiday parties in the next few weeks and these will be perfect little accent pieces that match our antique brass hardware. Had to share these great finds! XO!


Sophie Seita will present a version of her experimental performance piece Don Carlos, or, Royal Jelly and Amy Tobin will talk about 'Sibling Rivalry in the Women's Art Movement'.
Click here to reserve your place at this free event.
Don Carlos, or, Royal Jelly is part of Sophie's ongoing queer-feminist project, My Little Enlightenment Plays, which emerges from historical and literary reading or what she's called imaginary tête-a-têtes with Enlightenment thinkers, writers, and (pseudo-scientists) inthe form of three conceptual closet dramas or tableaux vivants for the page that yet demand to be staged. Often in collaboration with other artists and poets, the presentation of these pieces merge poetic dialogue, choreography, music, video, and interaction with sculptural objects, which all form a material conversation with the script. In these 'plays', we see the shell of theatre without the theatre, and rather a joyous theatricality, where 'my little enlightenment' plays like a tune to be danced to, suggesting a playfulness through which Enlightenment sources were mined to make them 'mine'. Previous pieces in the series and earlier versions have been presented at Art Night 2018 (London), Company Gallery (NYC), La MaMa Galleria (NYC), Parasol Unit, Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris), the Arnolfini, and Bold Tendencies.
Amy Tobin is lecturer in the Department of History of Art at the University of Cambridge and Curator at Kettle's Yard, Cambridge.

Job Seekers optimistic about career progression as economy rebounds
By ANUSHRUTI SINGH |
Indian professionals are confident about career progression as businesses slowly reopened last month resulted in better hiring prospects across different sectors.
LinkedIn has announced the findings of the seventh edition of the Workforce Confidence Index, a fortnightly pulse on the confidence of the Indian workforce.
The confidence index showed a modest increase in India's overall workforce confidence, with a composite score of (+) 50, up from (+) 48 in June 1-14.
This uptick in hiring has fuelled the confidence of active job seekers towards career progression as findings show that about 2 in 3 professionals will increase their time spent searching for (66%) and applying to (64%) jobs in the next 2 weeks.
The findings also indicate the active job seekers' clear intent to upskill today for a safer tomorrow as 68% say they will increase their time spent on online learning to harbor long-term job security and career progression.
Commenting on this growing optimism, HR expert Prabir Jha explains why India's rising hope towards job security comes with slight trepidation - "It must be understood that retaining a job in the present times is in itself a strong confidence booster. Many people are also willing to take up to 50% cut in their salaries for an assured job. This means that whoever retains a job today, clearly knows that his/her role matters to the organization even in the new reality."
He also added, "More experienced workers may have savings to support them in the long run," to explain why senior professionals are not as inclined towards increasing their time spent on searching for jobs.

CVMR Corporation to expand metal Additive Manufacturing activities in the US with three new divisions
CVMR Corporation (CVMR), based in Toronto, Canada, has announced its intention to establish three new divisions in the United States covering metal powder manufacturing; metal Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) equipment design and development, and metal powder innovation.
The metal powder manufacturing plant and metal Additive Manufacturing plant will be housed in Kentucky and the metal powder innovation centre will be located in Tennessee. Phase 1 of all three Divisions will be operational by December 2015, and will gradually expand over the following three years.
CVMR manufactures pure metal powders, metal nano powders, and metal alloy powders of various morphologies specifically for the Additive Manufacturing sector. CVMR uses its proprietary carbonyl and other proprietary vapour metallurgical processes in manufacturing these powders.
CVMR stated that it has partnered with a number of prominent equipment manufacturers in the Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing field in order to design and build state of the art equipment, using CVMR's metal powders as feed material.
"This will create a fully integrated operation, from the mineral sources to the end-user products for CVMR. We either own most of the mining concessions that supply the raw material for our operations, or we have long-term off take agreements with prominent mining companies who supply us with various metal ores or concentrates, worldwide. We refine those minerals, using our proprietary processes and technologies, and now our clients can actually use our metal powders using our equipment to manufacture state of the art end user products," Dr Kamran M Khozan, Chairman and CEO of CVMR, announced at a press conference in New York.
Dr Khozan added, "We are currently negotiating with a number of multinational corporations, in the United States and Europe, that have the technical know-how, to partner with us in developing the next generation of Additive Manufacturing equipment such that they can be used in as many industries as possible, almost off the shelf."
CVMR stated that it has also carried out extensive research in new methods of Extrusion molding, using metal powders.
Metal powders and their various alloys are currently being produced by CVMR include nickel, iron, chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, titanium, tantalum and niobium. Dr Khozan stated, "Our technology allows us to refine low grade ores quite efficiently. That has helped us to compete in quality and price, simultaneously, in the Additive Manufacturing market. The development of our fully integrated systems is yet another step in that direction."
Besides metal powders, CVMR produces net shapes, coatings and superalloys for the electronics and other high tech industries.

Biotechnology is defined as the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to produce goods and services. The completion of human genome and Arabidopsis genome projects in the year 2000 were great breakthroughs in the field of biotechnology. In the past twenty years, unprecedented progress in biotechnology has been observed, which has made revolutionary impacts on every aspect of human activity such as agriculture, forestry, horticulture, livestock, health, medicine and environment. In agriculture, it is predicted that the next green revolution or more appropriately "evergreen revolution or more revolution "evergreen revolution" will be due to biotechnological innovations. In livestock, production of new transgenic animals will not only meet the future needs of protein, dairy products etc but these animals could also be used as bioreactor for the production for various pharmaceuticals products. New safe protein drugs, particularly by site-directed mutagenesis, vaccines, diagnostic kits, antibiotics and enzymes can be produced by exploiting the biotechnology in the field of medicine (Medical biotechnology). The genetic based diagnostic assays for some genetic disorders and other diseases have already been developed and their treatment by gene therapy would be possible.

-- john dillinger, is living right behind us in apartment 303 of st. paul's lincoln court apartment. to basically regroup to get his bank robbery gang ready for a times the. he was here, enjoying time with his girlfriend. enjoying the movies just one block away from us here and meanwhile, his gang is getting weapons, getaway cars, and deciding which banks they would rob from their home base here in st. paul. the fbi did not know this was john dillinger, but they begin to get tips that a strange man was living in this apartment building. shades were always drawn to the bottom. john dillinger's girlfriend comment beautiful woman, would come out and hang up john dillinger's laundry, dressed in a halter top and short shorts.
80's, members 70 years ago when dillinger was here, i've talked to them. they said, this girl was so beautiful. they still remember his girlfriend. the fbi sent a crew here to knock on dillinger's door. but they did not know. thought it was someone else, his alias. -- walkingching toward john dillinger's apartment. all you know is that there is something suspicious in apartment 303. dillinger is in bed with his girlfriend, who opens the door, peace out, and you, the fbi, say, ma'am, we are here to speak to carl. the dear woman forgets her own alias. couldys carl, my husband the fbi are not fools.
they said, ma'am, we are staying here. you go and get carl. she runs an says, john, the jig is up here it john dillinger, cool as a cucumber, puts on his pants, gets his machine gun, comes to the store, opens it, leans out, and starts firing machine gun bullets out of the store. the police and the fbi start firing back at him. the door is chewed up by bullets. to give you a sense, john dillinger, not a master criminal, not a single bullet from his gun hits any of the fbi agents in the actual quarter you are in right now. one bullet from the fbi and the police is gone hits john dillinger in the fight. incredibly, john dillinger has escaped from the fbi shoe out -- chewed out. he comes out the store. dillinger is wounded in the leg,
so he races over here, stands here holding a submachine gun in one area -- one hand and a gun in the other, and tells his girlfriend, get the getaway car. literally, the most wanted man in america is standing here bleeding like a stuck take, a this building next door, sees a man who he recognizes as john dillinger, bank robber, reaches under his bed, takes out a shotgun, and aims it at dillinger, who is here. the kit is seconds from becoming the boy who killed john dillinger, when his mother, ,earing the stud -- the shots tackles her son, throws him to the ground, and dillinger is not killed in st. paul. he gets in the getaway car with his girl, and he roars away to wisconsin for a little rest and relaxation at the lodge. the deal between the crooks and the cops, which had stood for
years, meaning the crooks lived here but they do not kill or kidnap anyone here, fell apart. click the history of the building we're in right now, today called landmark center, but in the 1930's, the public enemies era, it was the old federal courts building, the history is incredible. above our heads on the fifth floor is the offices of the prohibition bureau. the man who headed the prohibition bureau was the man who wrote the american prohibition law. andrew, a congressman from granite falls, minnesota, who created prohibition in this building. then, when prohibition was repealed and all of these bootleggers, what were they going to do? liquor was legal. they turned to bank robbing, kidnapping, extortion, and murder, and that is what this building became here the fbi,
the federal bureau of investigation, had the building as their headquarters. as they say, if these walls could talk, what notorious stories they could tell. mid-1930's, john dillinger's girlfriend, evelyn, was tried successfully in this room. before she was found guilty of harboring her boyfriend, john dillinger, she tried to escape. she said she had to go to the ladies room. the federal marshals followed her through the door. then, the man, the marshall, somewhat shy, went back, allowing dillinger's girlfriend to go to the bathroom, at which point, she simply kept on going down the hallway and tried to escape. fortunately, the federal marshals overcame their shyness about a female convict and grabbed her and made sure she to the escape en route
powder room. the fbi was quite concerned the dillinger gang would try to come here with their machine guns and free dillinger's girlfriend. so in the porches you see behind my head, there were federal marshals armed with shotguns and some machine guns, waiting in case any members of the gang would show up to liberate their comrades. it never happened, but you can imagine what it was like in this room in the sweltering heat of the summers when all the gangsters were here and everybody was waiting to see if other gangsters with machine guns would come and try to free them. basement ofin the the landmark center, which is open to the public. right here is the radiator that the director of the f e i j edgar hoover, kept one of the
public enemies handcuffed two, just before hoover dragged him into the court room to have him convicted. he pled guilty to the kidnapping of the 1930's. this is a photo of alvin, a fascinating character who has something of a heart. he promises many kids were around, he would make sure the kids were not he -- were not killed. if he did a shoot out with fbi. he pled guilty of kidnapping and spent decades in prison. all of the out, ill-gotten loot, his ransom and hank robbery loot, was in the bank. accruing full interest while carcass was in prison. purpose gets out of prison, an old man. a wealthy man. he goes to spain, where he is seen eating fried food, cavorting with 19-year-old
girlfriend's pure one night, he takes an overdose of sleeping pills and takes his own life. i think he just knew his time had come. he enjoyed the good life as a gangster and decided to end his life. this building is both the thattion of prohibition led to widespread organized crime all over america. that is how al capone got his start as a bootlegger. 84 and 1935 and 86, this is also the building bank robbers were tried and sent to alcatraz prison and other prisons across america. it is where it began and ended. every gangster in america came here. the 1930's, in would not call it las vegas, but it was a lively city.
had therohibition, you biggest jazz artists of the partially because the gangsters were wealthy. we're only a few yards away from river in downtown st. paul, but we are in the back in the-- 1920's and 1930's, this was called the castle royale, run as a gambling casino. underground caves has a fascinating history. made caves were naturally in soft limestone by water dripping from the mississippi river. when prohibition was passed, it is dark, cold, private, let's fill the room with illegal beer and then prohibition was repealed.
filled bootleggers who said, ok, here is legal. let's do nightclubs. the gangsters of st. paul and the good people who like partying with gangsters, this anda nightclub as well as other cave nearby, filled with sex he does, chandeliers, kitchens, but mind you, it was also where john dillinger and notorious gangsters also like to hang out. the appeal of the underground nightclub was that you were with the most wanted bank robbers in america. today, we look at the mafia with horror. organized, terrible people. but in those days, bank robbers
like john dillinger were seen .lmost like robin hood they were seen as post-depression, when the close -- the bank would foreclose on your house or farm or the banks were not really popular. kind of antiheroes who were evening the score after the .epression totally untrue. they were killers who wanted money. with them, you drank that they would not kill you. because there was a deal between the cost -- the cops and the crooks. bank robber orss kidnapper coming into minnesota coming to chicago.
there were rules. the rules were, you would identify. hello, my name is al capone. you would get a bride to police, here is a jewelry we still in chicago. here you go. if you needed a place to stay, police would arrange for housing for you as a bank robber. machine guns gun, in america were available to you here in st. paul. if you needed a getaway car, there were auto dealers in st. paul who specialized in bank robbery getaway cars, heavily armored on both sides to deflect police alerts. if you needed a girl, female companionship, the police would arrange. in fact, alvin the gangster met the love of his life here in st. paul. storeall was a department
, essentially, for gangsters. if you needed a girl, a gun, launder money, a getaway car, you came to st. paul and the police made sure you as a gangster got whatever you needed. the fbi were trustworthy and not corrupt. crazy thate fbi police in st. paul, minnesota, were in the pockets of gangsters . when ma barker was living on south roberts street in st. paul, only a few miles from where we're standing today, the fbi got a tripwhen ma barker wad her dad boys were there. the barker gang. the fbi raced to the house. by the time they got there, the barker gang was gone, tipped off by the same call police. there was no love lost between
the fbi of j edgar hoover, and the corrupt local police who were taking bribes, on the take from the underworld. to, in a way, live the high life and leave a good-looking corpse. that is what happened. they ate well and slept with you for women, drank wonderful line. i think the gangsters knew their lives were short and they lived that gangster life in st. paul. quests throughout the weekend, american history tv is featuring st. paul, minnesota. our tour staff recently traveled to learn about its rich history. tour more on c-span's city . you're watching american history tv, all weekend, every weekend,

they were brought here and install in fort mchenry. 36 pound iron ball. over a mile. so, no wonder the british never wanted to get very close. if you look down here at the cannonball, you can see a difference between me 18 pound shot the fort fired, and the 36 pound spot. if i was the royal navy, i would not want to get that close to that. one more thing before we go into the fort is how strong these defenses were and why the british chose a long-range bombardment instead of trying to take the fort straight on. if you look behind me, you will see a lighthouse. that was not there at the time. at that neck of the channel, the american strong up the chain-link boon. imagine telephone poles chain together. that's blocked the channel. behind that, americans had a
rowboat with canon. behind that, the americans sunk ships. for the british to win the battle and get their vessels into the port of baltimore to destroy the city, they would have had to have knocked out that chain, saw through it, fight off the american boats, raise the sunken ship, and knock out all of the cannons of fort mchenry. it was tough. so the british decided on a long-range bombardment, hoping they can knock out the guns of the fort, maybe scare the americans. that is why they chose to rely on the five ships that could fire a 200-pound shell two miles. everyone knew that the cannons of the time are only good for a little more than one mile. they anchor halfway to the bridge.
the british had one rocket ship. a british rocket is as big as we are. they look like fiery fingers in the night sky. or during the day they look like a jet plane. they would come in, boom and explode in and around the fort. they were not that accurate, but if you have never seen one before and if you are a defender and it is your first battle, it was like shock of awe of 1814. >> you can watch this and many other american artifacts programs anytime by visiting our

they're trying to prove the same bullet that hit kennedy was the one that hit -- went through him and went through his hand, his bone, into his leg, and everything else. a lot of stuff, we could not get all the evidence. i did redirect it. so i just, i don't know. i was the only fellow there who gets in and changed whatever. we have got a pretty good report difference does it make which bullet got him? >> it don't make much of a difference. the commission believes the same hitet that hit kennedy connally. i don't believe it. >> i don't either. >> i could not find it. i am not going through at that.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! As you're reading this, I'm currently spending time with family and friends. I did start my day with a "long-distance" 5K Turkey Trot race with my sisters! Even though Sarah is half a nation away, we decided to run together on this day. It's true what they say, iron sharpens iron!
For my second annual Turkey Trot, we not only hit not one, but TWO hills on the route. As I was rounding a corner and saw that last hill (I didn't look at the route map, lol!), I groaned (let's be real here) and ran faster. I knew that if I didn't give it a go, I would have a hard time getting up the hill at all. My overall goal was to run without stopping. Once I got to the one mile mark on my Nike Running app, I was so happy! I had ran an entire mile without stopping! So I decided to keep pushing to see how far I could go. And if I'm being honest, I cried as I ran towards the finish line. I was focusing on my reason for running. I cried because I ran for my daddy and friends I've lost cancer to: Joshua Franks and Thomas Smith. Throughout the race, my mind kept telling me to stop or to walk the race. But I just kept asking God to keep the pain away and to give me physical and mental strength to get to the finish line.
The results of my second Turkey Trot race?
At last year's Turkey Trot in Keller, TX, I finished around 43:00. This year? I'm proud of myself for hitting 37:53!!! Hey, I'll take any minutes I can shave off!
However, what I'm MOST proud of is that for the first-time ever, I ran an entire 5K race WITHOUT stopping! So I'll be celebrating with good food later, haha! And on that note, I want to thank Geoff Reese for putting together and organizing the Double Oak Turkey Trot and coat drive! I had so much fun!

Kissinger's Fingerprints Are All Over Trump's Foreign Policy - and That's a Good Thing
"Henry Kissinger has made a come-back and may well be this president's mentor on international affairs"
Gilbert Doctorow Thu, Dec 21 2017 | 3400 words 4,992 Comments
Those who believe that Donald Trump is witless, a "moron" to quote Rex Tillerson, were proven wrong on December 18 when the President released his National Security Strategy (NSS). Those who believe that the Deep State operates entirely on its own, without taking any cues from incoming presidents were also proven wrong.
He's chummy with the worst sort of people
Going through this 68 page document issued in keeping with tradition by each administration at regular intervals, I find very important changes in language from where official America has been operating these past 25 years suggesting that, after all, Henry Kissinger has made a come-back and may well be this president's mentor on international affairs, as seemed to be the case during the electoral campaign and into the first months following his inauguration, before the removal of Flynn and the running aground of Trump's foreign policy initiative in March.
In saying that, I am speaking not about the Henry Kissinger who was the implementer of Nixon's détente with Russia or of Nixon's great rapprochement with China that led to an informal partnership in managing world affairs of mutual interest. Nor am I speaking about Kissinger Unbound: the strident exponent of Realism and critic of Idealism who authored the master work Diplomacy in 1994, when there was still no road map to post-Cold War American foreign policy and he hoped pragmatism would finally prevail over ideology, when he hoped that he would return to a position of influence from the decades in the wilderness that began with the Reagan presidency and Neocon ascendancy.
What we have here is the contrite Kissinger who made his peace with the unavoidable political prejudices of our day and made certain that every appeal to national interest was accompanied by due genuflection before the altar of national values, Kissinger, the author of World Order (2015).
We are told the following at the very first page of the Introduction: "[This] is a strategy of principled realism that is guided by outcomes, not ideology."
Kissinger's concepts as leading exponent of the Realist School of International Relations permeate the document. We find here mention of "balance of powers," a key Realist School term. In the NSS, it is used in matter-of-fact manner, whereas the notion had in the first Obama administration been condemned by Joe Biden, by Hillary Clinton as "passé," as so very 19th century, an antiquarian object that is inadmissible in our modern age. We were told by our Liberal Interventionists that we are now living in the age of "smart power," the latest version of "soft power" invented by Harvard professor and Democratic Party thinker Joseph Nye.
He's everywhere
In the NSS, there is the notion that states have always been in competitive relationships, are so today and will be so far into the future: the challenge is to be position oneself to win in the competition.
By the same token, the given text is devoid of all the Cold War vintage legalistic argumentation against Russia or China that Kissinger found so galling and denounced in his memoirs. The Dulles brothers' thinking was still going strong under Bush and Obama. But lawyer statesmen are well and truly buried in Trump's NSS. There is not a word about our competitors violating international law, only about their going against our interests in pursuit of their own interests.
What we see here is prioritization and true strategic vision as opposed to ideological cant and ad hoc responses to global developments, or, as one might have expected from Trump, given his reputation for a disorganized mind, some grab-bag of issues to be pursued, starting with the hot ones in his tweets, Iran and North Korea. No, the stress in the NSS is on competition with two great powers, China and Russia, both described as revisionist, meaning that they want to re-claim their positions of influence at the world's board of governors at the expense of the sole surviving superpower, the United States.
This is in itself a wholly new appreciation. With respect to Russia, for example, Obama had foolishly told us it was just a "regional power." Putin replied with amused irony: which region? But the point was lost on Washington. Now we find that the United States is engaged in a hot competition with both China and Russia in virtually every corner of the globe.
Fact versus Fake
Over the past 18 months there has been a lot of talk in public space about "fake news" and about lies coming from high places. The former has been the repeated message of Trump in his attacks on CNN, the BBC and other mainstream media. The latter has been the push-back from the media and political opposition to Trump. By way of example, to this day a regular feature item in The Washington Post is a fact check on whatever Trump says, or Pinocchio index.
The refreshing thing about the NSS is that it is fact oriented. This is in keeping with the tenets of the Realist School of International Relations.
Russia is very correctly identified as a military threat, first and foremost.
"Russia is investing in new military capabilities, including nuclear systems that remain the most significant existential threat to the United States…"
To be sure, the NSS also carries the fake news accusations against Russia for political destabilization of democracies through information and cyber war. This is part of a shared authorship issue which I will mention in a moment.
China is identified in the NSS as a growing military power with great potential:
"It is building the most capable and well-funded military in the world, after our own. Its nuclear arsenal is growing and diversifying."
But otherwise China's threat to United States interests is shown primarily in terms of economic aggrandizement and unfair trading practices that do harm to the United States economy. The Chinese economic expansion is noted in all continents.
The competitive pressure from both China and Russia taken together present a formidable challenge, which is described in almost but not quite value neutral terms:
"…after being dismissed as a phenomenon of an earlier century, great power competition returned. China and Russia began to reassert their influence regionally and globally. Today, they are fielding military capabilities designed to deny America access in times of crisis and to contest our ability to operate freely in critical commercial zones during peacetime. In short, they are contesting our geopolitical advantages and trying to change the international order in their favor."
I would qualify that generalization as correct, and I commend its neutral tone. Similarly Kissingerian is the description of what our yellow press likes to call "hybrid warfare." In the NSS that is defined as "operating below the threshold of open military conflict and at the edges of international law." Note: "at the edges" not in violation of international law. Note, too, the follow-on criticism of American policy-makers for having a hard time walking and chewing gum at the same time:
"China, Russia and other state and non-state actors recognize that the United States often views the world in binary terms, with states being either "at peace" or "at war," when it is actually an arena of continuous competition."
This remark comes straight from the Master. So, too, is the call for sophistication in pursuing the overarching strategy in regional contexts:
"The United States must tailor our approaches to difference regions of the world to protect U.S. national interests. We require integrated regional strategies that appreciate the nature and magnitude of threats, the intensity of competitions, and the promise of available opportunities, all in the context of local political, economic, social, and historical realities."
Those realities can be appreciated only if the relevant area studies are sustained, which ceased to be the case in the United States years ago, when universal values hijacked foreign policy and regional differences were dismissed by the political bosses.
As for any contradictions in the text, we must remember that Trump is surrounded by officials who are carriers of the world view and prejudices of the preceding 25 years. Partly they are the holdovers whom he could not fire lest the bureaucracy be totally depopulated. Partly they are his own appointees as he sought to fill posts the easy way, without confronting the Senate on each and every appointee.
We know that one officer in his National Security Council was responsible for the NSS text, and not all that she wrote was red-penciled. However, the dominant lines of the NSS were clearly written by others, who are close to Trump, and presumably close to his mentor Kissinger. So there are unavoidable wrinkles.
The following pearl says in eloquent, Kissingerian terms what Donald Trump has been saying in his more tongue-tied way ever since he entered the presidential race:
"We are…realistic and understand that the American way of life cannot be imposed upon others, nor is it the inevitable culmination of progress."
The NSS tells us that the United States will stand by the values of its Founding Fathers, will seek to be a beacon of light and hope to the world on behalf of democracy, the initiative and enterprise of citizens and rule of law, but it will not impose its ways on others. This is what Trump said on the campaign trail, but here the notion is given more specific form.
The Neoconservative-Liberal Interventionist claptrap that has had a monopoly position in all International Relations literature and US government documents for the past 25 years is stripped away. The theses of our post-Cold War secular religion, and in particular the conviction that only democratic countries can live in peace, are almost entirely absent from the NSS.
The metrics of democracy promotion have been removed. What remains is the feeble statement that authoritarian countries, countries that do not allow women to participate equally for example, deprive themselves of major sources of economic strength and well-being.
This is not a small matter. To be sure, over the past 25 years the Neoconservative-Liberal Interventionist claptrap has been wrapped around a core of Realism that promoted not only U.S. ideological preferences but also U.S. hard power and economic interests. But the claptrap was dangerous because the democratic and free market values, claimed to be universal values, were by definition not amenable to compromise.
They were seen as the "End of History," the ultimate berth of the ship of humankind. This justified the demotion of diplomacy to a weak supportive role for military policy. Put in other words, a foreign policy based on universal values can only lead to war. However, when the driving force of foreign policy is precisely national interest, then diplomacy has a chance to thrive. By definition, national interest is subject to compromise based on unsentimental calculation of power equations.
Words count
Analysis of the NSS requires that we pay attention not only to concepts but to vocabulary. The key words in the NSS is "competitor" or "rival," although we also find in the text the substitute word "adversary." "Competitor" is the word applied repeatedly to China and Russia. It is perfect for the purposes of Realist School foreign policy, precisely because it is descriptive, not judgmental, and not emotional. The text reads: "Competition does not always mean hostility, nor does it inevitably lead to conflict…"
The word "adversary," also found in the text, is more troubling, because it is seen by some as a synonym for "enemy," which in turn has within it the semantic load of "hostile." These terms are emotive, not descriptive and are not far removed from the "axis of evil" thinking brought into public space by Ronald Reagan and picked up and propagated by George W. Bush. Happily, in the National Security Strategy "adversary" is not spelled out, not applied to specific countries.
Unredacted mention of "authoritarian regimes" appears in the NSS here and there. but this donkey tail is also not pinned on specific targets. The term stands in contradiction with the Realist School's indifference to the nature of regimes and sensitivity only to raw power. This betrays the obvious fact that this new Security doctrine is the work of at least two agencies: the National Security Council and unnamed individuals in the circle of the President who had the final say on the text.
Trump could not dispense with staff whom law and custom oblige him to retain but he could overrule them, resulting in the contradictions that appear in many places in this document.
Words and Deeds
As I have indicated in the foregoing, the thinking underpinning policy has changed dramatically in this new Security doctrine compared to the thinking highlighted by the presidential administrations of the past 20 years or so. However, when we look at the recommendations for implementation, at the priorities, it is also clear that there will be no big changes in day to day US policy because, as I noted, the thinking behind US policy has always had both Realist and Idealist components to it. The question is which is on the surface.
For example, with regard to sanctions directed against Russia and the U.S. attempts to isolate and penalize the country especially since the annexation of Crimea in 2014, it is clear from this new doctrine that the sanctions may remain in place in perpetuity. Not because of any violation of international law, as U.S. diplomacy has maintained loudly in every imaginable forum.
But simply because the United States reserves the right to apply these tools against every power which works against its interests, and in particular "to ensure that regions of the world are not dominated by one power." This matter-of-fact declaration violates directly the entire logic of the WTO and free trade. But the notion of preventing the formation of local hegemons, whether Russia in its "near abroad" or China in Southeast Asia, has always been a principle of U.S. policy, though rarely in the past 25 years has it been stated so baldly.
The change in justification from violator of human rights or of the territorial integrity of sovereign states to "acting against US interests" is of very great importance. This removes all justification for other countries to apply sanctions against whomever the United States is punishing except as their own interests are also threatened by the offender. In the case of the European Union and Russia, national interests speak to the opposite policy – namely for full normalization of relations with Russia.
It is also worth noting that the NSS makes clear that the US policy of fighting Russian energy dominance in Europe going back to the second term of Bill Clinton will continue unabated. But whereas until Trump that card was played by seeking to stymie Russia's paths to market via gas pipelines, and to bring in gas from Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and other non-Russian sources via pipelines that do not cross Russian territory, the new game is to promote America's own shale gas to displace Russia in its traditional markets.
"As a growing supplier of energy resources, technologies and services around the world, the United States will help our allies and partners become more resilient against those that use energy to coerce" - sums up this policy neatly.
Without any question, expanding and upgrading U.S. military forces is seen by the authors of the NSS as one of the key tasks to ensure American security, alongside growing the domestic economy so as to support this burden. However, the NSS makes an intelligent, almost impassioned argument in favor of "competitive diplomacy." And even the platitudes set down here have potential value if they will be implemented with any consistency:
"Diplomacy sustains dialogue and fosters areas of cooperation with competitors. It reduces the risk of costly miscommunication."
Indeed, at a time when lines of communication with Russia built over decades have been severed unilaterally as "punishment" for its alleged transgressions, this is a powerful argument for a re-think in Congress and at Foggy Bottom.
How has the NSS been seen by commentators inside and outside the United States
Given the contradictory elements in this National Security Strategy, given the obvious contradictions between the many high-minded declarations of principle it contains and the actual words and deeds of the sitting President over the past year, it should come as no surprise that observers within and outside the United States have interpreted the document variously. I will comment on just three of them here.
The Wall Street Journal was cautiously sympathetic to the key role given to economic and trade policies in the new national security strategy. The paper gave a factual account of highlights in the document, starting with its focus on the challenges presented by China and Russia. It attributes oversight of the project to Trump's national security adviser Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster and one of his deputies, Nadia Schadlow, whose writings are reflective of the Washington Consensus thinking of the Department of Defense and private research institutions in which she served before joining the NSC. Who may have actually written the NSS text is a matter about which they do not speculate.
The anti-Trump liberal journal of commentary The Atlantic takes a less generous direction in "Trump's National Security Strategy is Decidely Non-Trumpian." They conclude that the plan "highlights the wide gulf between what the president says and what he does." However, that view comes from the attention they direct to thevalues passages in the NSS such as "The United States rejects bigotry, ignorance, and oppression…etc."
They insist on Trump's violation of the principles enshrined in the Bill of Rights, cited in the NSS, by his travel ban and "targeting of Muslim-majority countries." This is a fair line of attack, but one which has little relevance to the main contours of the security doctrine as I have delineated them.
The Washington Post calls attention to the hard line on China which, they say, is mentioned 23 times in the doctrine
In Russia, the new NSS immediately became a lively subject for discussion on the political talk shows, where it was generally viewed with ironic bemusement. For its part, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a largely negative commentary, finding that the document's key idea is for the United States to negotiate and deal with others "from a position of strength," an expression which appears twice in the NSS. This, in the view of the ministry, is a policy line that is not conducive to "constructive partnership on equal basis for the joint solution of existing problems, but to confrontation." They go on to say that the United States is "trying to preserve the noticeably weakened American domination in the international arena at any price."
This Russian appraisal chooses to overlook the change from Idealism to Realism that the NSS reflects, which is most peculiar since Russia builds its foreign policy primarily on the principles of the Realist School. For this reason, I would characterize the Kremlin's reaction as mere posturing that will change quickly as opportunities to enter into talks with Washington materialize.
Kissinger for better or worse
Surely some readers of this essay will express dismay that I put a positive value on Kissinger's having influenced Trump's security doctrine. Among many sincere, educated, right-thinking Americans, there is the belief that Henry Kissinger is a war criminal. His role in conducting the Vietnam War, and in particular events like the ferocious Christmas bombing of Hanoi in 1972 and the spread of the war into Laos and Cambodia still earlier are not forgotten or forgiven by his detractors to this day.
It is also true that Henry Kissinger has spent the second half of his long life making amends for the misdeeds of the first half. And in the present day environment, it is reassuring that we have at the side of Donald Trump not only generals known by their sobriquet "Mad Dog" but also a civilian expert with deep experience in statecraft and appreciation of how far you can go in applying pressure to the likes of Russia or China before all hell breaks loose.

Sledgehammer Games confirms the number of maps available out of the gate, as well as details about character customization.
With just one month to go before Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's release, Sledgehammer Games has now confirmed that 13 multiplayer maps will be available for the game right out of the gate for all players. Co-founder Michael Condrey confirmed the news on Twitter.
Gamers who pick up any of the game's collector's editions or buy the DLC season pass will score an extra map at launch, Atlas Gorge. This map is a reimagined version of the Pipeline map from 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Condrey also confirmed that the Emblem Editor--featured in past Call of Duty games--will return for Advanced Warfare. Not only will you be able to create and customize your emblem, but it will actually appear in-game on your soldier's exoskeleton suit.
"One of the biggest goals during the development of this game was to listen to you, the Call of Duty community," the developer wrote on its website. "We wanted to give the fans the opportunity to show off their personality in the virtual lobby and in multiplayer matches."
Advanced Warfare officially launches November 4 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. However, if you preorder the game, you'll be automatically upgraded to the Day Zero edition, which will let you play the game on November 3, a full day early.

Q: Windows file association to open with Eclipse/CDT editor How can I open a file with Eclipse/CDT when I double click it in windows explorer?
I set the file association in windoes to eclipsec.exe and it opened Eclipse/CDT, but not the file.
If Eclipse is open, it says "Workspace in use..."
Ideas?
mcb

A: this Might be what you are looking for
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/OpenFileFeature

A: This article may be somewhat helpful, it talks about associating content types with specific editors:
http://www.developer.com/java/other/article.php/3648736/Eclipse-Tip-Define-Custom-Content-Types-to-Identify-Your-Data-Files.htm
In addition, an [Eclipse book on Google Books gives instructions on associating file types.][2]
Also, see this.

A: Associate the file type with eclipse.exe, not eclipsec.exe.

*

*If the file type is not already associated with an application then you can choose the application by double-clicking the file, otherwise you will need to open the "Set Associations" app from control panel.
a. In Windows 7 this is done via the "Default Programs" item in "Control Panel".
b. Inside that item there's an option labeled "Associate a file type... with a program".
c. Look for the filetype, in my case I looked for .java. Select it and click "Change program..." in the upper right.

*From there click "Browse..." and find eclipse.exe, not eclipsec.exe, in your filesystem, select it and click ok.

*Now when you double-click the file it will be opened in eclipse regardless of whether eclipse is already open.

My grandfather, the late Rev. V.W. Steele, used to say, "Never compromise the truth." "Don't ever sell you soul for a mess of pottage," Grandpa would surmise, with fire in his eyes. He understood the deadly influence of compromise, which plagued the church in his generation. He saw the crippling impact of liberalism, which waged war against the Bible and stifled the people of God. Few people listened to V.W. Steele's counsel. Even fewer are listening today. So, compromise continues to make inroads in the lives of God's people, in the local church, and in mainstream culture.
Compromise is traumatic because it wreaks havoc on our lives. "The human spirit," David Wells writes, "is now being moved not by profound thinking but by the experience of living in a metropolis presided over by bureaucracy, tranquilized by television, awash with the racket of closing cultures."1 The end result of compromise is a suffocated church which is producing spiritual weaklings, unable to discern and powerless to make a difference in our world.
Compromise is a lowering of standards. It is, as the New Oxford American Dictionary defines it, a matter of accepting "standards that are lower than is desirable." Such a move is not in keeping with historic Christianity. Indeed, compromise fails to honor the living God.
Compromise is a gradual erosion of what was once cherished. Typically, this deterioration is slow moving; it does not take place overnight. Rather, it is an imperceptible steady decline, which may not even be recognizable until it is too late. Like ocean waves that slowly chip away at the shores on a beautiful beach, so too, does compromise gradually erode the professing Christian who gives in to its demands.
Compromise is a cowardly pursuit. This mindset places higher regard for comfort and pleasure than the truth of God's Word. This cowardly pursuit may feel right initially, but it eventually leads to a life of misery (Ps. 1:5-6).
Compromise is ungodly. It is man-centered. It placates and caters to the flesh. It is opposed to the things of God. In our generation, compromise is viewed as a strength instead of a vice. John MacArthur observes, "Compromise has become a virtue while devotion to the truth has become offensive."2 Compromise is viewed as a necessary and strategic move in a pluralistic society. Compromise may look right, but if left unchecked, it always leads to disaster. The Scripture warns, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but is end is the way of death" (Prov. 16:25).
Martin Luther understood the paralyzing effects of compromise. He saw how compromise slithered its way into the fabric of the church and began to devour the gospel, verse-by-verse and line-by-line. He witnessed how compromise in the priesthood eroded the integrity of the church from the inside out. Luther's pilgrimage to Rome awakened him to the compromise that plagued the church. Martin Marty notes, "He expressed shock at the chaos, the filth, and the practices of locals who urinated in public and openly patronized prostitutes."3 He watched with horror as the church he loved grew more and more like the world.
Luther never dreamed he would experience such wanton excess and sinfulness as he made his way to the holy city: "When I first saw Rome, I fell to the ground, lifted my hands, and said, 'Hail to thee, O holy Rome.'" That impression quickly dissolved, however. He continued, "No one can imagine the knavery, the horrible sinfulness and debauchery that are rampant in Rome."4 In Luther's mind, the die was cast. And a new context emerged; a context that would set the stage for the Protestant Reformation.
Like Luther, the apostles in the first-century church were swimming against the cultural tide. In Acts 5, their boldness landed them in prison (v. 18). But God performed miracles to advance his sovereign purposes: "But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out" (Acts 5:19).
God instructs these men to preach the gospel: "Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life" (Acts 5:20). Two imperative verbs appear in verse 20. God commands the apostles to "go" (poreúomai). And God commands these men to "speak" (laléō). Both verbs are written in the present tense, which suggests ongoing action, an unceasing ministry of proclamation – despite the persecution they will continue to face.
The response of the apostles is recorded in verse 21: "And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest came, and those who were with him, they called together the council, all the senate of the people of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought" (Acts 5:21). The apostles respond with obedience, decisiveness, and bold resolve. The apostles were bold reformers!
When confronted by the officials, the response of the apostles is consistent with God's command: "The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins" (Acts 5:30–31).
But pay close attention to the guiding principle that precedes the response of these bold reformers: "But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29). The Greek word translated "obey" (peitharchéō) means to trust or obey with confidence. That is to say, the apostles placed supreme faith in the living God, so much that they were willing to obey God from the heart. This brand of bold obedience is prepared to endure the consequences and glorify God, even to the point of death.
What are the defining features of a bold reformer who refuses to compromise the truth? What unshakeable and unbreakable principles will guide bold reformers down a path that stands strong and steadfast before God?
Bold reformers do not read the opinion polls. They do not canvas the neighborhood to see what people are interested in hearing. They do not smooth out the rough edges of the gospel in order to gain a wider hearing. They listen to God's Word; they obey God's Word; they surrender to the lordship of Christ. Bold reformers are committed to the veracity of the gospel.
So, bold reformers cut against the cultural grain. They step out in faith and trust God with the results. They go places where others fear to tread and they leave the results with God. And they may, in the final analysis, pay the ultimate price but will also reap a heavenly reward. A bold reformer is willing to take risks for the sake of the gospel.
May God raise up a new generation of bold reformers who draw clear lines; people who are convinced of the truthfulness of Scripture; leaders who refuse to back down. This world desperately needs to hear from bold reformers who refuse to compromise the truth!

The Messenger has a new format!
From the Rector . . .
Happy New Year! May 2018 bring you each much joy and many occasions for celebration.
We have two important communal events coming up early in our calendar this year.
On January 21th – the third Sunday in the month – Bishop Ian Douglas will be with us for an Episcopal Visitation. As is the custom for such an event, the entire congregation will gather that morning for one celebration of the Eucharist at 10:00am. The Bishop will preside and preach at the service and will also visit with the parish. Later he will meet with the vestry to help us explore more fully our shared life as a community of faith.
Two weeks later, on the first Sunday in February, February 4, we will have our Annual Meeting. Again, we will gather as one congregation. There will be just one service at 10 o'clock that morning. The meeting will occur immediately following, in the sanctuary. The Annual Meeting will allow us to look back over the past year and to look ahead in hope to the year ahead.
Please come join us and participate in these significant occasions in our shared life.
Coming up at St. Andrew's . . .

Church Garage. The vestry has given Senior Warden Gary Naegel and Junior Warden Gary Cimmino the authority to reorganize and, when necessary, clean out the garage located next to the rectory. The garage is used to store Christmas and other decorations, but also contains a large number of sawhorses and plywood sheets that belong to the Friends of Hammonasset.
Security. Vestry member Ray Hencir is exploring what measures might be taken regarding security at St. Andrew's. He has met with the pre-school staff, spoken with officials at two other churches and plans to meet with the church's ushers.
Budget. Treasurer Cathy Golden will present the final draft of the 2018 budget for adoption at the vestry's Jan. 16 meeting. She said that a number of changes will be made to the way St. Andrew's manages its finances in the coming year – a bookkeeper was being hired, expense categories revised, and a written list of standard operating procedures created.
Treasurer's Report. Pledge income for the year is running $21,900 or 11.6 percent under budget. Meanwhile, expenses are running 1.6 percent over what had been budgeted for 2017.
Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee was still working on finding nominees for treasurer, convention delegate and vestry positions that need to be filled. A completed list of nominees will be presented at the vestry's Jan. 16 meeting.

Rave and Reviews
In May 1978 Harold Pinter and Antonia Fraser visited Israel at the time of the 30th Anniversary of Independence. It was three years after they first lived together; neither had set foot in Israel before. Based in Jerusalem, they toured many of the country's historic sites: from Bethlehem to the fortress of Masada, encountering future Prime Minister Shimon Peres, Mayor of Jerusalem Teddy Kollek, Jackie Kennedy and a long-lost cousin of Harold's on a kibbutz. It was a trip during which Pinter's feelings about his heritage emerged for the first time. As he said himself: 'For the first time I feel Jewish'.
This diary was kept daily by Antonia Fraser: the vivid narrative and descriptions (Antonia swimming in the Dead Sea while Harold had a beer) are leavened with humour, occasionally wry where Harold's quirks were concerned, and always tender. Above all, it is a unique picture of a time and place – and a touching insight into fifteen days in the lives of two writers, one Jewish, one Catholic, one a playwright and one a biographer, who were also a devoted couple.
Antonia Fraser
Antonia Fraser is the author of many widely acclaimed, internationally bestselling works of historical non-fiction. She has received many awards for her writing, including the Wolfson History Prize, the Norton Medlicott Medal of the Historical Association and the James Tait Black Prize for Biography. In 2011 she was made a DBE for services to literature. She lives in Kensington, London.

Daimler AG achieved record levels of unit sales and revenue in 2015. During the 2015 financial year, the Group achieved its best ever EBIT of €13.5bn/£10.45bn (2014: €10.8bn/£8.36bn) and its best EBIT from the ongoing business of €13.8bn/£10.68bn (2014: €10.1bn/£7.82bn).
Despite significantly increasing total unit sales over the period, the manufacturer reported bus sales were significantly below the prior-year level despite slight growth having been expected at the beginning of the year. It said this was primarily due to the pronounced weakness of the markets for bus chassis in Latin America. Daimler Buses sold 28,100 buses and bus chassis worldwide in 2015 (2014: 33,200). Nevertheless, the division was able to maintain its leading position in its core markets for buses with a gross vehicle weight of over eight metric tonnes. Its revenue was €4.1bn/£3.17bn (2014: €4.2bn/£3.25bn) with EBIT of €214m/£165.69m, 9% above the prior year level (2014: €197m/£152.52m). Return on sales amounted to 5.2% (2014: 4.7%).
Positive effects on earnings primarily resulted from good business with complete buses, as well as further efficiency improvements. The development of earnings also benefited from positive exchange rate effects. There was an opposing impact from the continued difficult economic situation in Latin America. Earnings include a gain of €16m/£12.39m on the sale of shares in New MCI Holdings Inc. It expects buses revenue in 2016 to be of similar magnitude.
