BN Wins Big in Balingian
Former Dalat district officer Yussibnosh Balo retained the Balingian seat for BN on Saturday with an increased majority of 6,911. Balo garnered 8,194 votes against PKR's Abdul Jalil Bujang 1,283. Balingian in Sarawak has 13,233 registered voters and the voter turnout was only 72.33%.
The Reds returned to the top of the EPL table for the first time since Christmas with an emphatic 4-0 win at Anfield to Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.
It took only two minutes for the first of many defensive errors by the visitors, when Liverpool's Glen Johnson was allowed to cross from the right and force an own goal by Younes Kaboul. Then substitute centreback Michael Dawson inadvertently set Luis Suarez clear in the 25th for the Uruguayan to put away a left foot shot low into the goalmouth's far corner – eclipsing Robbie Fowler's record of 28 goals in a Premier League season for Liverpool in the process. This was followed by Philippe Coutinho finishing off a wonderful team goal in the 55th with a low drive from 25 meters before Jordan Henderson's inswinging free kick missed everyone in the area and landed in the bottom corner (75).

MH370: A Tragicomedy
As a Malaysian, I would have liked my country to be looked upon positively by the world at large. Instead, thanks to a bumbling government, we have turned the MH370 tragedy into a tragicomedy. The world now knows Malaysia but it is for all the wrong reasons.
Anyway, kin of the Chinese nationals on board MH370 are persisting with their protests against the Malaysian authorities. I don't blame them because they have been given the run around from Day One. And their anger was further fueled by Prime Minister Najib Razak's March 24, 2014 announcement that MH370 had ended in the southern Indian Ocean. Supposedly based on some mathematical calculations.
The statement itself was intentionally ambiguous. What did "ended" really mean? That there were no survivors? We know (almost) everybody took it to mean so and as a result, we saw a gushing deluge of condolences. I am saying that he too wasn't sure and that was why he picked the word that suggested something definite but at the same time, it wasn't. I did not believe him and as far as I am concerned, he was lying.
Malaysia Airlines is an accomplice to this lie. Didn't the company send out a text message stating the same thing except that the language was clear and precise, i.e. "...we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived"?
Now the British satellite telecom company Inmarsat has distanced itself from Najib's conclusion. Inmarsat spokesperson Jonathan Sinnatt clarified that his company only played a contributing role in the MH370 investigation, despite the Malaysian government's announcement that a final decision was drawn from Inmarsat data. He added that the Malaysian government may have drawn its own postulation based not just on Inmarsat data but also on other information – "which we wouldn't know about".
I had used the phrase "indecent haste" to describe Malaysia's speedy decision to want to move on. And the public at large who have been hoping and praying and even clinging on to the belief that miracles can happen seemed to have gotten tired of it all!
Mind you, Najib had good reason to do what he did. The more the world is focused on MH370, the more the world will know that his government is incompetent and inept.
Yesterday, MAS group chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya made the lie even bigger when he announced that family members of passengers aboard MH370 will only be flown to Perth by Malaysia Airlines once it has been confirmed the aircraft did indeed crash there (meaning, the southern Indian Ocean). Won't you get furious and upset with this flip flopping?
And moreover, Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein disclosed on Sunday that he was not giving up hope of finding some of the 239 passengers and crew alive – meaning, the "conclusive evidence" wasn't conclusive enough and so he changed his story. In doing so, he is disputing his prime minister's verdict! The end hasn't really ended!
I say, the Prime Minister must take the rap. Instead of being open and honest about MH370, he chose to lie to us.
But it's our fault too for being gullible. We should have seen it coming. After all, it is not as if it was Najib's first time at lying. He lied about Altantuya. He lied about the Scorpene subs. He lied about the "Allah" 10-point plan. I am seeing a pattern of pathological lying here. I suppose he has learned well enough to be a survivor. Like the cockroach.

The Russian Bear Bares its Fangs

I LOL-ed when I read that US President Barack Obama had declared that Russia is acting "not out of strength, but out of weakness" in Ukraine (BBC News, March 25, 2014). I don't think he knew what he was talking about. Against the backdrop of Russia's "absurd" annexation of Crimea, this is rather strange. Even the word 'absurd' is another example of a strange choice of words. Obama had used the 'absurd' word on March 26, 2014 to describe Vladimir Putin's arguments for seizing Crimea. It doesn't matter anyhow since it is clear that Russia is the aggressor.
In fact, I would consider Ukraine weak. Russia certainly is not. Didn't the Russians just walk into Crimea and take over? More ominously, there are more than 80,000 Russian troops (according to Andriy Parubiy, the secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council) on Ukraine's border – how could Obama interpret that as a weakness?
More so, when Pentagon spokesperson Navy Rear Admiral John Kirby on Thursday had said that the Russian force there is "a composition that provides a lot of capability" – indicating that it could conduct a comprehensive assault on Ukraine.
Maybe Obama saw the Russian gambit as military posturing. It is nothing more than just psychological warfare to intimidate Ukraine.
Methinks, the joke is really on Obama (and his European allies). His Crimean response was the introduction of a slew of slap-on-the-wrist sanctions targeted at some Russian individuals. As if that will make Putin (left) desist from undertaking any further aggression.
It is obvious Russia is ready. Ready for what depends on the Russian President's intentions. Certainly, Putin doesn't give a shit about anybody or anything.
The truth of the matter is that the US of A is helpless. Europe is NATO, meaning No Action, Talk Only. And Russia has free rein.
Yesterday, I was hoping for a miracle. I was rooting for Arsenal to beat Manchester City. That did not happen unfortunately but it was still good as the Gunners did manage a 1-1 draw against the latter. That will slow down the EPL juggernaut.
As for Arsenal, their title chase is over.
And it was also heartening to see current table-toppers Chelsea fall to a surprise 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.
The above results provide the perfect setting for Liverpool to win today's game against Tottenham and grab the top spot.
I have no doubt that we are going to witness the three teams racing to a very tight finish in the EPL.
And in the Scottish Premiership match that is purely an academic exercise for Celtic, they were held to a 1-1 draw against Ross County. The Scottish champions have now amassed 85 points.

MH370 and the F1 Malaysian GP
Image credit: http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/03/27/More-states-should-fly-flags-at-halfmast/
The Prime Minister's announcement on MH370 on Monday stank of ambiguity because it had succeeded in throwing the country into confusion. Some Malaysian states such as Johore, Perak and Penang flew their flags at half-mast. Other states did not.
Najib Razak thought he was being clever but in the end, he just muddied the waters further.
Touching gesture: The Caterham F1 team's coordinator Graham Smith placing a MH370 tribute sticker on the nose cone of the Formula One Car at Malaysia's Sepang Circuit. Image credit: http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/03/28/F1-drivers-show-their-respects-Racers-place-tribute-stickers-on-their-cars/
BTW, the F1 Malaysian GP is on this weekend. Against the backdrop of the missing MH370, Formula One drivers have tribute stickers on their helmets and others carry the stickers on their cars. The Caterham F1 team – see photo above – placed the #PRAYFORMH370 sticker on their front nose cones.
But here's my dilemma. I read in the same news report that a minute's silence would be observed ahead of the race. So what's the real situation with regard to MH370? Are we mourning the MH370 dead? Or are we praying that there are still survivors?
I don't know about you but I am bewildered.
On Thursday evening, I was in Damansara Jaya to attend the D'Utama Advanced Toastmasters meeting. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay until the end – I left after the first speech evaluation – but it was an interesting meeting nonetheless. And if I may add, Tham Chee Wah's talk was equally interesting too.

The "Buy-their-loyalties" By-election
The Balingian by-election has been flourishingly described as a "buy-their-loyalties" polls, which is startling considering the seat has been a BN stronghold since 2001 when former chief minister Taib Mahmud won the seat. In the 2011 state election Taib retained the seat by 5,154 votes. In the earlier 2006 polls he locked in a majority of 5,726 votes.
Still that did not stop Sarawak's Infrastructure and Communication Minister Michael Manyin from pledging to build a 11-kilometer missing link road between Kuala Serumpai and Kuala Tatau at a cost of RM230 million! Only in Sarawak, a missing link road can get you votes. Villagers are going to be so indebted.
If you do your sums, this means that on the average one kilometer stretch of road in Sarawak would cost between RM1 to RM1.5 million to build. I must mention that somebody is also going to make reams of money on this deal.
The above-mentioned project and many others in Balingian will all receive generous infusions of funds that can be expected to exceed the total sum spent on the constituency in the last five decades!
After all, Balingian falls in Sarawak's 'industrial' zone. Taib's pet project Sarawak Corridor for Renewable Energy (Score) is sited in the Mukah parliamentary constituency where Balingian sits.
Not only that but local residents have been ceaselessly bombarded with reminders that a big victory will be a show of gratitude to Taib and an endorsement of his successor Adenan Satem's administration.
It is expected that this by-election will be a shoo-in for BN. However, the opposition PR-PKR is hoping to eat into BN's previous majority. BN, on the other hand, is aiming for a landslide victory. And Chief Minister and Sarawak BN chairperson Adenan Satem even expressed his wish to see the PKR candidate lose his deposit.
My hope is that Sarawakians become wiser.
Yesterday, I was at PJ's Jalan Yong Shook Lin to attend the IJM Toastmasters meeting. The meeting started five minutes late and by the time it concluded, we were behind by 37 minutes. The speeches were alright but the evaluations were better. Thankfully, Table Topics met with a much better response. I found the members were eager but their enthusiasm was muted. Maybe, because it was a lunchtime meeting, therefore, it was not easy to get energized at that time of the day.
Anyway, that sums up the meeting. Personally I thought it could be better-organized. I would give this meeting a 2.5 over 10 score.

Ridhuan Tee Promotes Cendol on MAS Flights
Ridhuan Tee Abdullah (left) in his Sinar Harian column on Monday wrote something topical in the wake of the MH370 saga. He drew up a list of lessons to be learnt from this particular incident.
First, female flight attendants should don the hijab. It is not about shielding their aurat (parts of body to be covered according to Islamic teachings) and protecting their modesty. He gave another equally important reason, i.e. it can prevent hair from dropping on the food.
Hmmm, Ridhuan has a point there. But hair shedding is a relatively common phenomenon. Maybe MAS should recruit cabin crew who has an Alopecia condition. Problem solved. And why target the women only? Men too shed their hair, y'know!
Image credit: http://www.papermag.com/2013/06/fab_flight_attendants.php
He mentioned about being annoyed that stewardesses wore short and see-through attire. I had not realized that MAS cabin crew uniforms have been changed. The last time I flew – okay, it has been almost four months! – I only saw them wearing the iconic sarong kebaya uniform (above photo). It is time to have an eye check and perhaps even change my glasses – I didn't see what I was supposed to see although Ridhuan did.
Of course I wish they would show more (as in the photo below) but fat chance!
Image credit: http://elitedaily.com/envision/the-reinvented-mile-high-club-worlds-best-looking-cabin-crews/
Second, Ridhuan suggested that the national carrier stop serving liquor on its flights. Instead, MAS should serve cendol (a sweet coconut milk dessert – see photo below).
Alright! I love cendol, so I am okay with it. And while he's at it, why not get MAS to also serve sirap, sirap bandung, teh tarik, teh-o, teh susu, teh ais, teh halia, 3-layer tea, kopi-o, kopi susu, kopi ais, horlicks, milo and many other local (non-alcoholic) beverages?
Third, he said he has no problems being frisked by airport security before boarding a flight. His words were more like an invitation: "Fondle me to your heart's content for the dignity and security of our beloved land"!
I hope he didn't mean that. Sometimes, what you wish for is what you get!
After you have read the above, some of you may be confused. Confounded. Maybe, even many of you. You are likely to ask how the above is related to MH370. Please don't ask me. I am just as confused and confounded as you are.
Ridhuan Tee Abdullah is good at being himself. He is who he is. What he lacks in intelligence, he more than makes up for in stupidity.

PR is Not Having it Easy in Sarawak
Campaigning for the Balingian by-election is supposedly in full swing but news have been scant. In any case, Pakatan Rakyat is not having it easy in Sarawak.
PKR stalwarts Saifuddin Nasution, Tian Chua, Rafizi Ramli and Zuraida Kamaruddin were all denied entry into the state.
Sure, Sarawak has the power to bar them but that authority must be exercised strictly within the limits of the Federal Constitution as prescribed in Article 9(3) of the Constitution and the Immigration Act. And the trio had wanted to engage in legitimate political activity. What is wrong with that?
It is regrettable that Malaysians cannot move freely within their own country!
Classy Celtic clinched the Scottish Premiership title in stylish fashion yesterday – their third Scottish title in a row with seven games to spare – when they ruthlessly demolished Partick Thistle 5-1. The goal scorers for Celtic were Anthony Stokes (4, 90), Liam Henderson (49), Stefan Johansen (53) and Kris Commons (90). Partick Thistle managed to get on the score sheet once – through Christie Elliot (85).
The victory established an unassailable 26-point lead over second-placed Aberdeen as Celtic became champions for the 45th time. And it is the earliest the Scottish top flight has been secured since Rangers won on March 16 in season 1928-29!
Congratulations, Celtic!
Manchester City's comprehensive victory over Manchester United in Tuesday's derby meant that all eyes were on Anfield and the Reds did not disappoint. They continued their winning streak, this time carving a 2-1 win over Sunderland.
In the thirty-ninth minute, Steven Gerrard produced a stunning free kick from 23 yards that Vito Mannone could not keep out. And in the forty-eighth minute, Daniel Sturridge curled in his twentieth league goal to make it two-zero. The Black Cats refused to surrender and Ki Sung-Yueng headed home fellow substitute Adam Johnson's corner (76).
The Reds now move into second place.

MH370: "Conclusive Evidence" Points to Indian Ocean
My earlier post ("MH370: Where Are You?") on the MH370 search-and-rescue that was dated March 20, 2014 pertains. Now the "assets" are being re-deployed to focus on the southern Indian Ocean in an area covering 460,000 sq nautical miles.
Hishammuddin Hussein, the Acting Transport Minister repeated his Prime Minister's position that "conclusive evidence" (their words!) pointed out that the missing airliner did end in the identified area (The Star, Malaysia, March 26, 2014, p 02).
Malaysians who trust these two individuals may be surprised to know that Australia's deputy defense chief Mark Binskin – whose country is spearheading the search (the 'rescue' has been conveniently dropped because it would seem they are just wanting to find any sign of wreckage of the said plane) – was more upfront when he admitted: "We're not searching for a needle in a haystack – we're still trying to define where the haystack really is" (ibid, p 42).
As I have said, what and who to believe?
Last evening, I was at Level 1, Telekom Malaysia Convention Center in KL's Jalan Pantai Baharu. The purpose of my presence at the Telekom Toastmasters meeting was to deliver my CC speech #6 titled "Hurt". My evaluator was Lachmichand (Lucky) and this was Round 1 of Project 15. I am really thankful that clubs are giving me speaking opportunities and Telekom is one of many.
Overall, the meeting went well and I would give it a score of 6.5 over 10.

MH370: No Closure Yet
Just a day after Najib Razak made the announcement, Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein (left) stated that there will be no closure for MH370 passengers' families unless debris is found to confirm that the aircraft had gone down. He said there was no solid proof of MH370's whereabouts.
And he made the promise that "we will do whatever it takes to locate MH370". He did point out that French authorities had spent two years searching before finally locating the bulk of the wreckage (and the black box) of the ill-fated Air France flight 447 – which disappeared in June 2009 – in the vast Atlantic Ocean.
That may be so but it took search teams only five days before they found debris.
In MH370's case, nothing has been found yet. It is therefore important that we do not abandon the search.
The world may have gone weary with the waiting and therefore, I am seeing an outpouring of grief since Monday. And all of this was because of a simple statement that the Prime Minister made, i.e. "…flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean".
But if you have someone on board MH370, you would want to wait for a little while longer. At least until wreckage or some debris is found to confirm that MH370 did go down to the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
Last evening, I was at the Taman Indrahana Toastmasters meeting at the Cobra Club in Lorong Utara B in Petaling Jaya. I presented my CC#3 speech titled "Second Place" and Lim Thian Seng was my evaluator. This was Round 3 of Project 15. [I have so far already started on nine rounds of the CC manual but I have yet to kickstart another six to make it 15, which is my original goal for this calendar year].
Yesterday's speeches were generally good and so too were the evaluations. A good meeting overall and it deserves a score of an 8 over 10.

AAC CENTER STAGE
Few non-power 5 leagues get such prime-time positioning as the American Athletic Conference will tonight, and the timing couldn't get any better thanks to Hurricane Joaquin making this a stay-in Friday for much of the East Coast and the circuit's top two squads on display. As seen in our regular breakdown piece on Temple, the Owls, top dogs in the circuit's East Division, visit Charlotte for a 7 o'clock kickoff. At the same time, the West Division's best team, Memphis, squares off with AAC rival South Florida at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium. The Tigers are an absolute light show offensively, coming off a scintillating 53-46 victory over preseason conference favorite Cincinnati. QB Paxton Lynch runs the show, and he's a fascinating study in the passing touch and subtle athleticism that someone standing 6-foot-7 should not possess, but does. Anyone who gets a chance to watch him and the Tigers should do so. Especially Temple fans if they'd like to see what should be the Owls' toughest AAC competition this season.
ELIMINATION GAME
Saturday night's nonconference showdown at Clemson, pitting the 12th-ranked Tigers against fellow unbeaten, but badly beaten-up No. 6 Notre Dame, has been pitched as a "must win" for either team to stay alive for the season-ending, four-team playoff for a national championship. For Clemson, yeah, it probably is. Considering its consistent failings in big games, and ranking outside the top 10, it likely won't get much leeway should the Irish escape with a victory.
Notre Dame, on the other hand, would if it lost because of its name, its ranking, and the fact it would have two more opportunities to "prove" its worthiness against recognizable powers, Southern Cal and Stanford, and possibly against another ranked team in Temple, should the Owls enter a Halloween bash between the two undefeated.
Neither ND or Clemson seem the pretender type, regardless of who goes down this weekend. However, we have a few candidates that may get pantsed in Week 5 of the 2015 college football season. Chief among them are:
- No. 23 West Virginia and No. 15 Oklahoma, who face each other.
- No. 13 Alabama and No. 8 Georgia, who face each other.
- No. 25 Florida and No. 3 Ole Miss, who face each other.
Notice a trend? Also, be on the lookout for what goes down with No. 16 Northwestern and No. 19 Wisconsin. They're not entirely on stable ground as "legit" yet, either.
UNI WATCH
Perhaps it was a rush to judgment last night on the commentary regarding Miami's ICE outfits worn in their 34-23 loss at Cincinnati. The unis, an all-white ensemble that somehow morphed silver-touched ice-like lettering and numerals on the jerseys and logo on the helmet with some orange … worked. Well, in fact. Looked much better live than what was posted by the Hurricanes on social media before the game. Of course, 'Canes fans would really like to "ice" the team's head coach, Al Golden, but that's another story.
All-American LB candidate Tyler Matakevich (8) and his Temple Owls teammates have had a lot to raise their hands about this season.
Temple's What 2 Watch vs. Charlotte
JERRY ROBERTSON STADIUM, 7 P.M., CBSSN, 97.5 FM THE FANATIC
1. Focus and attitude
Off to a 3-0 start and receiving the most attention, locally and nationally, a Temple football team has, well, quite possibly ever, and at least since the 1979 squad finished its season ranked 17th in the country in both the AP and Coaches polls, ahead of, ahem, Penn State in each, the 2015 Owls have to be wary of overlooking their opposition these days. It almost cost them two weeks ago against Massachusetts, where divine intervention seemed to play a major factor in getting them out of New England with a two-point win. This time around, Temple takes on an even lighter weight in Charlotte, which only started playing football in 2013 and just started playing it at the FBS level this season. Though 2-2, the 49ers already have an embarrassing 73-14 loss at the hands of Middle Tennessee on the ledger, and they have the anti-dynamic duo offense that struggles to run and pass. Doesn't score much, either. But the 49ers are home, and the Owls proved against UMass that they are vulnerable to a lesser foe.
2. The Owls' passing game
Said it two weeks ago, and it proved prophetic – if the Owls are going to get anywhere, you know, anywhere really worth getting, QB P.J. Walker and his receiving corps had to step it up. They did, big time, vs. UMass. Including at crunch time, when Walker marched the Owls 50 yards (to top off a career-best 393-yard effort by him) in little more than a minute to set up the winning FG by Austin Jones. That trend needs to continue as UMass showed that two-game legend Jahad Thomas can, indeed, be stopped. The junior RB, brilliant in victories against Penn State and Cincinnati, was a workhorse two weeks ago, but not exactly an efficient one, gaining just 66 yards on 25 carries. Balance, ultimately, will make the Owls the best they can be. They can't be as clingy to Thomas as they had become.
3. Pressure on Charlotte QB, whomever he may be
The 49ers have used three guys behind center this season, so it may be pointless for the Owls' defense to zero in on one guy. They just need to focus on getting some pressure. Not for nothing, but they've done next to nothing in that regard since sacking Penn State's Christian Hackenberg 10 times in the opener. The Owls got one apiece against Cincy and UMass. That isn't going to cut it if they're going to continue to give up so much yardage. Eventually, that real estate being chewed up by the opposition is going to yield some serious points … unless Temple can offset the gains by some big plays, such as sacks.
4. Owls LB Tyler Matakevich vs. 49ers RB Kalif Phillips
Matakevich, the NCAA's active tackles leader, closing in on 400 for his career and chasing a record-tying fourth straight 100-tackle campaign, should get plenty of opportunities to add to his ever-impressive numbers because Charlotte has a Thomas-type feature runner of its own in the 5-10, 205-pound Phillips. Though he didn't initially explode on the scene as Temple's standout, he showed flashes from the get-go before unveiling a dominating, 29-carry, 165-yard effort in a losing cause last week. Temple can expect more of the same, especially if Phillips maintains anything close to his season-long 5.4 yards per rushing attempt during the contest.
5. Something more than a "sighting" of Owls TE Colin Thompson
We called for the same with DE Praise Martin-Oguike last time the Owls lined up, and the big fella responded with 2.5 tackles for loss against UMass, not to mention his blocking of the point-after kick that led to Temple's improbable, and crucial, two-point conversion. Thing is, PMO has "NFL future" written all over him if he just decides to get after it, and, frankly, Thompson at one time did, too. Umm, what happened? This kid came out of suburban Philly powerhouse Archbishop Wood as the top TE recruit in the country, signed with Florida, transferred to Temple and … poof. Yeah, injuries, sure. But he's healthy. He's been healthy. It's time he, and Temple, started to benefit from his talent.

The guitarist previously told how Stapp travelled on a separate bus to the rest of the band on the tour, and he now reveals Stapp assumed Tremonti would walk away from his other band Alter Bridge to devote himself full-time to Creed.
Tremonti tells Kerrang: "I think Scott just thought that we'd get back together with Creed and we'd forget about Alter Bridge. He doesn't understand how hard we've worked to build Alter Bridge.
"When you singlehandedly bring a band to its knees like he had done, and we all split up, and then you build something, you're not all of a sudden going to just jump back to the other band and forget what you've built.
"I think he took all his frustrations out on me. We were having lunch in catering. He was like, 'Hey man, what are you doing in January,' and I'm like, 'I'm going to the studio with Alter Bridge, we've talked about this.' He's like, 'Really?' From then on we didn't speak. On tour. On stage. Didn't speak."
Although he says he'll "never say never" to working with Creed again, he doesn't see it as realistic as he has his hands full with Alter Bridge and his solo project.
He adds: People ask, 'Are you gonna do Creed?' I've just got to the point with my life where I've got so much going on that I'm excited about that I don't want to get back into anything that's stressful or brings any kind of negativity into my life. I think I've worked hard enough to have other positive things to work on."
Stapp suffered a public meltdown last year, claiming someone was trying to kill him and that he was living in his truck. He has since been through rehab and says he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Tremonti's second album Cauterize is released on June 8. He plays Download on Sunday, June 14.

The pussy willow is a tree 5 to 10 metres high that produces spectacular blossoms in spring. It forms a branched shrub with quite flexible branches, most often erect and robust.
ThePussy willow (Salix caprea) belongs to the Salicaceae family. Its name comes from a contraction of two Latin words, mas salix, a name that can be translated as "male willow".
Botanical description
With age, the trunk of this species becomes greyish and cracks vertically. Its young greenish branches have alternate deciduous leaves, which are oval-shaped with a pointed end. The leaf's upper, wrinkled face is dark green, while the other face is greyish and downy. The base of the petiole of its leaves often has two relatively large stipules.

This is a dioecious plant species, with flowers of each sex found on different individuals. Its flowers bloom on bare branches in March - April. Its male catkins, ovoid and grey-coloured, are decorated with many yellow stamens. Its female catkins, of a greyish green colour, appear in the form of silky and silvery sheaths in which fruit mature.
This species of willow has grown for a long time in Europe, Asia and North Africa, and can survive at up to 2,000 metres altitude.
The pussy willow especially thrives in wetlands, thickets or hedgerows. It also thrives in well-drained soil, and can even grow in forests.
The wood of the pussy willow is very tender, with a yellowish white sapwood and a reddish brown core, but is not used very often. Its bark, on the other hand, is rich in tanin and is used to cure leather. However, this tree is most of all used for its capacity to attract bees in the first warm days.

Earning an Associate Degree Before Transfer Boosts Students' Likelihood of Earning Four-Year Degree
NEW YORK, NY— Community college students who transfer to four-year colleges with an associate degree are more likely to earn a bachelor's degree than similar students who transfer without one, a new study has found.
Nationally, nearly two-thirds of community college students who transfer to four-year colleges do so without first earning an associate degree. And while over 80 percent of all entering community colleges indicate that they intend to earn a bachelor's degree, only 15 percent end up doing so within six years.
The study, from the Community College Research Center at Teachers College, Columbia University, compared outcomes for first-time-in-college students who enrolled in a state community college system between 2002 and 2005 and earned between 50 and 90 credits before transferring to a four-year college (60 credits are the average required for an associate degree).
After matching individual students with 50+ community college credits and similar background characteristics, the analysis found that students who transferred with an associate degree had a distinct advantage: they were 49 percent more likely to complete a bachelor's degree within four years, and 22 percent more likely to earn one within six years.
The findings also indicate that different kinds of associate degrees have disparate impacts on bachelor's degree completion. Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) degrees, both of which are transfer oriented degrees, significantly increased students' likelihood of earning a bachelor's degree. Students who earned an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees — two-year degrees designed for direct entry into the workforce — were less likely than students with 50+ credits but no degree to complete a bachelor's after transfer.
The students under study attended college in a state with an articulation agreement that guarantees full "credit capture" for students who transfer to public four-years with an associate degree. The authors hypothesize that community college students who transfer without an AA or AS degree may have difficulty transferring all their credits, which can delay — or even completely derail — bachelor's degree completion.
This possibility is supported by findings from a recent CUNY study, which found that 42 percent of transfer students lost at least 10 percent — and sometimes all — of their accumulated community college credits, and that students who were able to transfer 90 percent or more of their credits were two and half times as likely to complete a bachelor's degree as students who transferred less than half their credits.
The apparent disadvantage accruing to students transferring with an AAS degree may also be attributable to credit loss: the state's articulation agreement does not guarantee credit capture for AAS degree holders.
The findings provide tantalizing evidence that encouraging students to earn an associate degree before they transfer, coupled with state policies that guarantee credit transfer for associate degree holders, could significantly increase national rates of bachelor's degree completion.

Dictating Fonts
Add a Comment	by Rebecca Bollwitt	 Monday, November 20th, 2006 — 3:18pm PST
While looking over a new theme that we've been working on for a while, John and I got into a heated debate over fonts. Yes, our household is just THAT geeky.
I flashed a screenshot of the theme-in-progress to my co-worker, Chris who said there's a part of it that reminds him of "that little tank game", he then proceeded to demonstrate with his fingers, the movements of the tank and tag on some sound effects "eeeee oooooo crrhhgggglllhhhhhh!" I totally knew what he was talking about.
Way back when, my brother, sister and I used to have two games on our computer. One was with two gorillas on top of skyscrapers and you had to adjust velocity and angle, then toss a banana at the other person's gorilla. Any banana that missed, left a crater and the cityscape would vanish around you, while battling. They also had a version of it on Intellivision [wiki]. Quality gaming, I know.
Another, was Tank Wars – the game Chris was getting at. All the computer-run tanks were named after dictators and warriors, Atilla, Musollini, Adolf, etc. To play a much-updated version of Tank Wars, visit a site that lives up to its reputation, AddictingGames.com.
Chris also says I should be a "Verdana sales rep" since I can sell anyone on it [previous post about fonts yes, I have a previous post about fonts].
Update: Found a forum post about the gorilla game, "Apes". Someone actually re-created it, sweeeeet.
fonts, games, geeky
JennyMonday, November 20th, 2006 — 6:31pm PST
But in the one we used to play you could use different weapons, like napalm! (sp?)
Miss604Monday, November 20th, 2006 — 6:39pm PST
Yep and there were like 8 opponents, much better than this version but not as "fancy" :p
KevBoMonday, November 20th, 2006 — 6:44pm PST
I miss the banana tossing game, that and the snake game
Mom-In-LawTuesday, November 21st, 2006 — 8:18am PST
Your geeky conversations fit our family profile so well. It amazes me to think that John found someone that would actually debate fonts with him and still be so good looking!
ApayTuesday, November 21st, 2006 — 1:59pm PST
SCORCHED EARTH!!!!!! eeeeeee
Miss604Tuesday, November 21st, 2006 — 2:02pm PST
Apay! We played the Apes game on YOUR Intellivision… along with Frogger. It was sweet.

Mozdok (Russisch: Моздок; Ossetisch: Мæздæг, Mæzdæg) is een stad in de Russische autonome republiek Noord-Ossetië. De stad ligt op de rechteroever van de rivier de Terek, 92 km ten noorden van Vladikavkaz. Mozdok betekent letterlijk "dichtbegroeid woud" in het Kabardijns.

De stad is gesticht in 1759, en verkreeg stadsstatus in 1785. Mozdok is het bestuurlijk centrum van het gelijknamige gemeentelijke district Mozdokski.

De stad is aangesloten op het Russische spoornet.

Zelfmoordaanslagen
In juni 2003 werd een bus vol met Russisch luchtmachtpersoneel vernietigd door een zelfmoordenaar in een bomauto. Op 1 augustus 2003 was een militair hospitaal het doelwit van een bomtruck, ook bestuurd door een zelfmoordterrorist. Het gebouw werd zwaar beschadigd, en er vielen meer dan 50 doden. Dit zijn slechts 2 uit een reeks aanslagen in Mozdok sedert de start van de tweede Tsjetsjeense oorlog.

Tiger flags fly high at Mizzou's annual Homecoming Parade. Photo by Kevin Mathein.
To honor multiple deserving members of the Mizzou family, the alumni association selected three grand marshals this year. They will become the first inducted into a new tradition, the Homecoming hall of fame.
Dignitaries are distinguished people from the Mizzou community. They include award‐winning professors, Homecoming king and queen nominees, Columbia's mayor and many more. Each dignitary sits in a convertible driven by a Mizzou graduate. Alumni from all over the country lend their convertibles and donate their time for the event.
What's a parade without marching bands? This year, groups include Marching Mizzou and bands from Columbia's Rock Bridge, Hickman and Battle high schools.

In addition to Homecoming Steering Committee, the entire Mizzou Alumni Association's professional staff pitches in on the morning of the parade. People walking in the parade arrive at their spots an hour and a half before the parade kicks off, but by then the staff have been at work for almost four hours.
Entries include Mizzou campus organizations, Greek life, government officials and local businesses. This year, all parade participants are tying their float themes to Mizzou to show spectators their Tiger spirit.
Each year sororities and fraternities are paired together to make floats and door decorations for Homecoming. Creating these pieces requires months of preparation and tons (literally) of pomp.
On average, about 30,000 people line the streets of downtown CoMo to watch the parade. The largest crowd occurred in 2012 when ESPN's College GameDay broadcast from the Quad. That year, the crowd was estimated at 50,000.

My Undeveloped Portfolio - Make "Any Offer on Any Domain at Any Time" via PM.


"BPM International notes that 72 % of all companies surveyed spend significant time clearing intercompany differences, and 31 % of survey participants identified the process as significant barriers to their close".
Our client, is a large equipment finance company in the United States offering retail, wholesale and lease financing options to help facilitate the sale of its equipment. The company also offers revolving credit and operating loans to farmers. The financing division manages more than 2 million accounts and a portfolio of over $20 billion.
One of their biggest challenges was that there was no existing standard process to reconcile the data. It was like a treasure hunt to figure out the reason for imbalances. This led to more time consuming, non-value added, boring tasks to be repeated for every month end closing.
The amount of time used to close the monthly statements of course depends on the systems in place and the quality of procedures followed during the entire process of CAPTURING and PROCESSING each and every business process. There were around 10-12 business process transactions which needed to be reconciled.
This was manual spreadsheet work and with the possibility to introduce errors. This is normally 2-3 days of work for 2 users for each business process.
With out client we reviewed SAP's Reconciliation Hub. Designed to reduce the differences in corporate group consolidation, this application in Financial Accounting allows early analysis in the closing process to avoid differences altogether and to reduce the deadline pressure that normally arises during the end of a closing period.
However we found out that this solution is available only as part of the SAP Bank Analyzer System. The limitation of this solution is that it will only reconcile quantitative data and not the qualitative data. For each business process, different data models in BW system would need to be defined. With our client it was found that this solution would not be scalable.
To resolve this situation, TekLink defined and developed a custom solution for Data Reconciliation. The TekLink custom solution reconciles qualitative and quantitative data. This is a scalable solution and will work for any sender and any receiver data, making it a generic solution. And a win for our clients!
The solution was developed on SAP BW on HANA. But it can be extended to SAP BW (non-HANA) and also Enterprise HANA, depending on the client landscape.
Financial and operational visibility across business entities.
Controlled and collaboration across business entities.
Proactive error reporting and recommendations on resolving issues.
Increased employee productivity and accountability.

L'accord germano-soviétique relatif au commerce et aux frontières, signé le , était un accord général réglant des différends frontaliers et intensifiant le commerce de matières premières et de matériel militaire entre l'Union soviétique et l'Allemagne nazie. L'accord s'inscrit dans le cadre des relations qui avaient débuté en 1939 avec le pacte Molotov-Ribbentrop contenant des protocoles secrets prévoyant une répartition de l'Europe de l'Est entre l'Union soviétique et l'Allemagne, et l'invasion ultérieure par l'Allemagne et l'Union soviétique de ces territoires. Il contenait des protocoles secrets supplémentaires réglant un différend concernant des territoires en Lituanie précédemment répartis entre les deux pays. L'accord germano-soviétique complétant les relations économiques qui avaient été développées par les accords commerciaux germano-soviétique de 1939 et de 1940.

L'accord fut de courte durée. Six mois à peine après sa signature, l'Allemagne envahit l'Union soviétique, et les relations économiques entre les deux pays prirent fin. Les matières premières importées par l'Allemagne d'Union soviétique entre 1939 et 1941 jouèrent un rôle majeur dans l'effort de guerre allemand contre l'Union soviétique après 1941.

Contexte

Besoins en ressources

L'Allemagne manquait de ressources naturelles dont plusieurs matières premières essentielles, nécessaires aux opérations militaires et à son économie. Les planificateurs allemands à la mi-1939 estimèrent que l'Allemagne possédait seulement deux à trois mois de stocks de caoutchouc et de trois à six mois de stock de pétrole. Ils estimaient qu'après une attaque allemande contre la Pologne et le blocus naval alliée subconséquent, l'Union soviétique deviendrait le seul fournisseur potentiel pour de nombreuses matières premières essentielles nécessaires pour une guerre.

Accords germano-soviétiques de 1939 et division de l'Europe orientale

Le , l'Union soviétique et l'Allemagne signèrent un accord commercial. Il concernait le commerce de certains équipements militaires et civils allemands en échange de matières premières soviétiques. Le , ils signèrent le pacte Molotov-Ribbentrop, qui contenait des protocoles secrets prévoyant une répartition des États d'Europe du Nord et de l'Est en «sphères d'influence» allemande et soviétique.

Une semaine après la signature du pacte Molotov-Ribbentrop, le partage de la Pologne débuta avec l'invasion allemande de la Pologne occidentale, suivie par l'invasion par l'Union soviétique de la Pologne orientale le , en coordination avec les forces allemandes. Aux trois États baltes décrits par le pacte Molotov-Ribbentrop, l'Estonie, la Lettonie et la Lituanie, ne fut donné d'autre choix que de signer un « pacte de défense et d'assistance mutuelle » qui permit à l'Union soviétique de stationner des troupes sur leurs territoires.

Onze jours après l'invasion soviétique de la Pologne orientale, les deux parties modifièrent le protocole secret du pacte Molotov-Ribbentrop, dans un accord appelé Traité germano-soviétique d'amitié, de coopération et de démarcation qui contenait un "protocole secret additionnel". Entre autres choses, l'accord allouait à l'Allemagne une plus grande partie de la Pologne et transférait la Lituanie aux Soviétiques. Cependant, une petite partie de la Lituanie dénommée la "Bande de Lituanie», la rive gauche de la rivière Scheschupe, devait rester un territoire allemand.

L'insistance d'Hitler pour envahir la Pologne en 1939, mit une énorme pression sur l'armée allemande, qui n'avait planifié une entrée en guerre que pour 1942 ou 1943. En outre, l'Allemagne faisait face à de graves pénuries en matières de pétrole, de caoutchouc et d'autres matières premières nécessaires pour engager même seulement une offensive sur un front occidental. Le seul État restant capable de fournir les matières premières nécessaires à l'Allemagne était l'Union soviétique. Dans le même temps, les demandes soviétiques de produits manufacturés, telles les machines allemandes, étaient en augmentation tandis que sa capacité d'importer ces marchandises diminuait, de nombreux pays ayant cessé leurs relations commerciales après l'entrée en vigueur du pacte Molotov-Ribbentrop. Le , l'Allemagne et l'Union soviétique conclurent un accord commercial, par lequel l'Union soviétique s'engageait à envoyer en Allemagne des matières premières pour 650 millions de reichsmarks, en contrepartie d'un même montant en valeur de machines, de produits manufacturés et de technologie.  Le pacte commercial aida l'Allemagne à surmonter le blocus britannique de l'Allemagne. L'Union soviétique devint un important fournisseur de matières premières essentielles à l'Allemagne, dont le pétrole, cuivre, nickel, chrome, platine, bois et les céréales.

Les pays baltes et la Bessarabie

À la mi-, les troupes soviétiques du NKVD attaquèrent les postes frontières de la Lituanie, l'Estonie et la Lettonie, provoquant leur annexion par l'Union soviétique, y compris la zone Scheschupe, qui devait revenir à l'Allemagne. Le , l'Union soviétique émit un ultimatum exigeant la Bessarabie, la Bucovine et la région de Herța de la Roumanie. Après que les Soviétiques furent convenus avec l'Allemagne qu'ils limiteraient leurs revendications en Bucovine à la Bucovine du Nord, l'Allemagne poussa la Roumanie à accepter l'ultimatum. Comme la France n'était plus en mesure d'être le garant du statu quo en Europe de l'Est, et que le Troisième Reich poussait la Roumanie à faire des concessions à l'Union soviétique, le gouvernement roumain céda, suivant les conseils de l'Italie et l'exemple récent de la France de Vichy. Après l'occupation soviétique de la Bessarabie, environ  Volksdeutsche vivant en Bessarabie commencèrent à immigrer en Allemagne.

Cet été là, l'Allemagne devint encore plus dépendante des importations soviétiques. Les conquêtes allemandes de la France, des Pays-Bas et de la Belgique créèrent une demande supplémentaire tout en réduisant les possibilités d'approvisionnement indirect.

Dernières tentatives soviétiques pour se joindre à l'Axe

Hitler envisageait la guerre avec l'Union soviétique depuis . Cependant, après la conclusion, en , du Pacte tripartite entre l'Allemagne, le Japon et l'Italie, l'Union soviétique étudia l'éventualité de s'y rallier. Après de longues discussions et de multiples propositions, l'Allemagne présenta aux Soviétiques un projet écrit d'accord, définissant les sphères d'influence dans le monde des quatre éventuelles futures puissances de l'Axe (Japon, Allemagne, Union Soviétique et Italie). Onze jours plus tard, les Soviétiques présentèrent une contre-proposition, rédigée par Staline, où ils acceptaient le pacte à quatre, mais cette contre-proposition comprenait des prétentions soviétiques sur la Bulgarie et une sphère d'influence mondiale s'étendant sur la zone autour de l'Irak et l'Iran moderne. L'offre soviétique arriva en même temps que d'énormes efforts économiques vis-à-vis de l'Allemagne. Les Soviétiques promirent le , la livraison de 2,5 millions de tonnes de céréales, soit un million de tonnes de plus que ce à quoi elle s'était engagée. Ils promirent également une indemnisation intégrale des propriétés du Volksdeutsche.

Peu de temps après, Hitler émis une directive secrète sur une éventuelle invasion de l'Union soviétique. La contre-proposition de Staline fut ignorée, ce qui aggrava les tensions entre les deux pays.

Négociations

En , les autorités allemandes estimaient que leurs stocks de matières premières étaient suffisants pour tenir jusqu'à l'été 1941. La situation était beaucoup plus grave pour le caoutchouc ; il était indispensable pour n'importe quelle armée mobile, fournissant bottes ou pneus. Les stocks allemands ne disposaient plus que de  tonnes. Les protocoles secrets avaient également mis Hitler dans la position humiliante d'avoir à évacuer précipitamment des familles de souche allemande, la Volksdeutsche, qui avaient vécu en Finlande et dans les pays baltes depuis des siècles ; tout en fermant officiellement les yeux officiellement sur les invasions. Les annexions soviétiques en Roumanie causèrent de nouvelles tensions. Dans les protocoles secrets, l'Allemagne avait accepté la cession de la Bessarabie, mais pas celle de la Bucovine. L'Allemagne demandait la livraison des  tonnes de céréales pour lesquelles elle avait déjà conclu un contrat de fourniture avec la Bessarabie ; elle demandait aussi la garantie de la sécurité des biens allemands, une garantie pour  Volksdeutsche en Bessarabie et Bucovine, et l'assurance que les convois ferroviaires transportant du pétrole roumain ne seraient pas bloqués.

Tandis que Hitler planifiait la guerre à l'Est, il voulait un nouvel accord économique pour obtenir ce tout ce qu'il était possible de l'Union soviétique avant l'invasion, alors que d'autres responsables allemands souhaitaient un tel accord dans l'espoir qu'il pourrait changer la direction anti-soviétique de la politique allemande. Pendant ce temps, en raison des difficultés de livraison et d'autres problèmes, des doutes commencèrent à apparaitre quant à savoir si l'accord commercial germano-soviétique continuerait à être honoré.

Par ailleurs, les négociations devinrent difficiles autour de la question de la «bande de Lituanie». Lorsque les Soviétiques avaient occupé l'ensemble de la Lituanie le , ils avaient également envahi une partie qui avait été promise à l'Allemagne dans les protocoles additionnels secrets du traité germano-soviétique d'amitié et des frontières, modifiant les protocoles secrets du pacte Molotov-Ribbentrop.

Les négociations débutèrent à Moscou le . Les négociateurs économiques militaires allemands avaient espéré le succès des négociations, en partie, parce qu'ils sentaient que cela permettrait de renforcer leurs arguments contre Hitler et sa politique de plus en plus anti-soviétique. Les parties étaient très proches d'un accord sur la fourniture de tourelles allemandes de  (pour cuirassés), mais les Soviétiques continuaient à résister aux demandes allemandes de remboursement intégral des propriétés des Volksdeutsche. De plus, les Soviétiques imposaient des restrictions sur les biens que les Volksdeutsche pourraient emporter avec eux  du Reich. En novembre, les négociations s'étaient bien déroulées pour l'Allemagne sur les modifications potentielles pour la deuxième année de l'accord germano-soviétique de commerce, les Soviétiques augmentant leur offre initiale de céréales de 1,2 million de tonnes à 1,5 million, puis à 2,5 millions de tonnes à la demande de l'Allemagne. Les négociations concernant la « Bande de Lituanie » nécessitèrent l'intervention directe d'Hitler, en conséquence les négociations avaient été brièvement suspendues le  en attendant ses décisions.

Les parties négocièrent en outre sur le pourcentage de la production de nickel que chacun recevrait de la mine de nickel finlandaise à Petsamo et le montant des compensations que les Soviétiques verseraient à l'Allemagne pour leurs revendications dans les pays baltes, occupés par l'Union soviétique. Des progrès avait été faits sur le sujet des propriétés des Volksdeutsche, avec compensation totale située entre 200 millions et 350 millions de reichsmarks, tandis que les Soviétiques demandaient 50 millions de reichsmarks pour leurs revendications sur leurs propriétés dans les territoires occupés par l'Allemagne. Ils parvinrent à un accord général sur les livraisons allemandes de canons antiaériens de , d'or, de machines et d'autres fournitures.

Hitler souhaitait un accord parce que les planificateurs allemands avait estimé que les stocks de nourriture, de pétrole et de métaux non ferreux seraient épuisées en 1941, et que les stocks de caoutchouc allemands pourraient être épuisées presque immédiatement, surtout si les expéditions via le transsibérien ou les forceurs de blocus n'arrivaient pas. Les alliés de l'Allemagne, comme l'Italie, étaient dans une situation encore pire pour les principales matières premières.

Sachant qu'ils se préparaient à une invasion de l'Union soviétique, les négociateurs allemands poussèrent à retarder la livraison des marchandises allemandes au-delà de l'été 1941. Suspicieux des retards allemands, les Soviétiques exigèrent, en décembre, que toutes les questions en suspens entre les deux pays soient résolues avant qu'un accord puisse être conclu. Des tensions avaient déjà fait jour après que l'Allemagne eut ignoré la lettre de Staline concernant l'adhésion de l'URSS à l'Axe, les négociateurs en venant presque aux mains à un moment donné.

L'accord

Le , l'ambassadeur d'Allemagne à Moscou Friedrich-Werner von der Schulenburg et le commissaire aux Affaires étrangères, Viatcheslav Molotov signèrent les accords à Moscou pour régler l'ensemble des différents que les Soviétiques avaient soulevés.

L'accord comprenait relativement peu de nouveaux points économiques. Il prolongeait l'accord commercial germano-soviétique de 1940 jusqu'au  et prévoyait l'augmentation des livraisons au-dessus des niveaux de la première année pour atteindre 620 à 640 millions de reichsmarks. L'accord réglait également les questions des coûts de transit pour les marchandises expédiées, les délais de livraison pour des produits expédiés dans la deuxième année de l'accord commercial germano-soviétique, des droits commerciaux dans les pays baltes et en Bessarabie et estimait la compensation pour les biens immobiliers allemands dans les États baltes maintenant occupée par les Soviétiques.

En raison de la position de force du négociateur allemand, le membre du ministère allemand des Affaires étrangères Karl Schnurre conclut que, sur le plan économique, l'accord était «le plus grand que l'Allemagne ait jamais conclu, allant bien au-delà de l'accord du mois de février de l'année précédente.». L'accord comprenait des engagements soviétiques de livrer 2,5 millions de tonnes de céréales et 1 million de tonnes de pétrole, ainsi que de grandes quantités de métaux non ferreux et précieux. L'ambassadeur spécial allemand Karl Ritter, dans un état proche de l'euphorie au vu du but atteint par l'Allemagne, écrivit une directive à tous les ambassades d'Allemagne: «Alors que la Grande-Bretagne et les États-Unis ont jusqu'à présent échoué dans leurs efforts pour parvenir à un accord avec l'Union soviétique dans n'importe quel domaine, l'Union soviétique a conclu avec l'Allemagne, le plus grand accord jamais conclu entre deux états.".

Le nouvel accord couvrait le déplacement vers l'Allemagne, sous deux mois et demi, des Volksdeutsche, des populations d'origine germanique et des citoyens allemands se trouvant dans les pays baltes et dans les Balkans alors sous domination soviétique, et le déplacement vers l'Union soviétique des populations d'origine russe, baltes et des russes blancs des territoires tenus par l'Allemagne. Dans de nombreux cas, les transferts des Volksdeutsche devaient avoir pour destination des territoires précédemment occupé par les populations d'origine polonaise ou d'autres territoires dans les territoires occupés par les nazis.

L'accord avait également formellement définit la frontière entre l'Allemagne et l'Union soviétique entre la rivière Igorka et la mer Baltique.

Les protocoles secrets du nouvel accord établissait que l'Allemagne renonçait à ses prétentions sur la bande de Lituanie définit dans les protocoles additionnels secrets du traité germano-soviétique d'amitié, de coopération et de démarcation et que le territoire serait considéré comme relevant de la sphère d'influence soviétique, pour lequel l'Allemagne recevrait un dédommagement de 7,5 millions de dollars (31,5 millions de Reichsmarks). En raison des fluctuations des taux de parité, les parties utilisèrent le dollar américain pour les compensations.

Le , Molotov demanda aux officiels allemands si les parties pourraient alors travailler sur un accord pour admettre  l'URSS dans l'Axe. Molotov exprima son étonnement à l'absence de réponse à la proposition soviétique du   d'adhérer au pacte. Ils ne reçurent jamais de réponse, l'Allemagne planifiait déjà l'invasion de l'Union soviétique. Le , Hitler avait signé la directive de guerre  destinée au haut commandement allemand pour une opération baptisée Opération Barbarossa indiquant : «. La Wehrmacht doit être prête à écraser la Russie soviétique dans une campagne rapide». Hitler indiqua à Raeder que l'Allemagne aurait à prendre Poliarny et Mourmansk à ce moment-là, pour couper l'accès de l'aide que pourrait recevoir l'Union soviétique.

Commerce total

Pendant la première période de l'accord de 1940 ( au ) et du second ( jusqu'à la rupture du pacte), l'Allemagne avait reçu d'énormes quantités de matières premières, dont plus de
  tonnes de céréales
  tonnes de pétrole
  tonnes de coton
  tonnes de manganèse
  tonnes de phosphates
  tonnes de minerai de chrome
  tonnes de caoutchouc
  tonnes de fèves de soja
  tonnes de minerais de fer
  tonnes de ferrailles et fonte brute
  kg de platine

De grandes quantités de pétrole brut furent livrées, des documents allemands en  indiquait que les Soviétiques avaient déjà livré  de pétrole brut par mois pendant cinq mois dans 900 wagons-citernes allemands exclusivement réservés pour cela.

Le pacte commercial aida l'Allemagne à surmonter le blocus britannique de l'Allemagne. En , les importations soviétiques représentaient plus de 50 % du total des importations de l'Allemagne, et dépassaient souvent 70 % du total des importations allemandes avant qu'Hitler ne rompt le pacte en .

Hitler rompt le pacte

Le , l'Allemagne lançait l'opération Barbarossa, l'invasion de l'Union soviétique à travers les territoires que les deux pays s'étaient déjà partagés. Si l'Allemagne fut proche de détruire l'URSS, ceci fut en grande partie dues aux actions soviétiques de 1939 à 1941. Sans les importations soviétiques, les stocks allemands auraient été épuisés pour plusieurs produits-clés en , en trois mois et demi. Les stocks allemands de caoutchouc et de céréales  aurait été vides le premier jour de l'invasion s'il n'y avait eu les importations soviétiques :

Sans les livraisons soviétiques de ces quatre matières premières stratégiques, l'Allemagne ne pouvait qu'à peine attaquer l'Union soviétique, et encore moins espérer la victoire, même avec un rationnement plus strict.

Trois ans plus tard, Friedrich Werner von der Schulenburg fut exécuté comme étant l'un des conspirateurs du complot du 20 juillet 1944 visant à assassiner Adolf Hitler.

Q: How can I make this XMLHttpRequest for Leaflet more simple? Just vanilla JS Can this be better? More simple?
My Steps:
Created a Google Doc Sheet -spread sheet
Exported as json
Build this ajax js script to make available to leaflet. js app.
https://jsfiddle.net/lukedohner/by80bvL7/
There maybe a more succinct way.
  xhr.onload = function() {
    console.log("onload + function");
    if (xhr.status === 200) {
      //sucessfull load of json
      alert("Here is the data in a alert window " + xhr.responseText);

      var respText = xhr.responseText;

      xhrText = JSON.parse(respText); // convert it to an object

      console.log(
        "json data: xhrText.length >>>>>>>> " +
        Object.keys(xhrText.mysheet).length
      );
      console.log(
        "Object.keys(xhrText) >>>>>>>> " + Object.keys(xhrText)
      );

      var i = -1;

      for (var mykey in xhrText.mysheet) {
        //In case you want to check to see it there is a null value -property
        if (xhrText.mysheet.hasOwnProperty(mykey)) {
          i++;
          window["card" + i] = mykey + " -> " + xhrText[mykey];
        }
      }
    } else {
      // not sucessfull load of json
      alert("Request failed.  Returned status of " + xhr.status);
    }
    createhooks();
  };
};
var ch = {}; // create a var namespace
createhooks = function() {
  var mysheetlenght = Object.keys(xhrText.mysheet).length;
  for (var j = 0; j < mysheetlenght; j++) {
    //console.log(" xhrText.title >>>>>>>> " + j + " " + xhrText.mysheet[j].title);
    ch["title" + j] = xhrText.mysheet[j].title;
    ch["subtitle" + j] = xhrText.mysheet[j].subtitle;
    ch["copy" + j] = xhrText.mysheet[j].copy;
    ch["imagename" + j] = xhrText.mysheet[j].imagename;

    console.log("title" + j + " is " + ch["title" + j]);
    console.log("subtitle" + j + " is " + ch["subtitle" + j]);
    console.log("copy" + j + " is " + ch["copy" + j]);
    console.log("imagename" + j + " is " + ch["imagename" + j]);
    console.log("~~~~~ " + "~~~~~ ");
    //create vars for addLElement function - Display it is the DOM
    titleindex = "ch.title" + j;
    addElement("Title " + j, ch["title" + j]);

    subtitleindex = ["ch.subtitle" + j];
    addElement("Subtitle " + j, ch["subtitle" + j]);

    copyindex = ["ch.copy" + j];
    addElement("Copy " + j, ch["copy" + j]);

    imagenameindex = ["ch.imagename" + j];
    addElement("Image Name " + j, ch["imagename" + j]);

    addElement("~~~~~ ", "~~~~~");
  }
  ch_callback();
};

function ch_callback() { // Use ch.title1, ch.title1, ch.title1, ch.title1, ch.title1... in your add addElement function or in the Leaflet.js L.control.window method
  console.log("callback " + ch.copy1);
}

Now I can use the var like this ch.copy1 in the leaflet L.control.window method. Not shown in fiddle example.
