Convict Colony
The Remarkable Story of the Fledgling Settlement That Survived Against the Odds
By: David Hill
Narrated by: Conrad Coleby
The New World of the 18th century was dotted with failed colonies, and New South Wales nearly joined them. The motley crew of unruly marines and bedraggled convicts who arrived at Botany Bay in 1788 in leaky boats nearly starved to death. They could easily have been murdered by hostile locals, been overwhelmed by an attack from French or Spanish expeditions or been brought undone by the Castle Hill uprising of 1804. Yet through fortunate decisions, a few remarkably good leaders and, most of all, good luck, Sydney survived and thrived.

A Captivating Guide to the History of the Continents of North and South America, Starting from the Olmecs Through the Maya and Aztecs to European Colonization and Independence Movements
The one character trait that, sometimes, surpasses the human instinct for survival is curiosity. When humans discovered an entire hemisphere that lay beyond their own Eastern Hemisphere, the race was on. What opportunities would these new lands hold? Surely, a small country in Europe could wield the power of an empire if it could claim these new lands in the Americas.
The Industrial Revolution
A Captivating Guide to a Period of Major Industrialization and the Introduction of the Spinning Jenny, the Cotton Gin, Electricity, and Other Inventions
For most of human existence, people lived in a somewhat similar fashion. Everything that has been produced, from food and raw materials to clothing and other finished products, has been done either solely by hand or with some help of animal power. This was the same across the eras and throughout the world, no matter how advanced or backward the various civilizations were. Yet, our lives today couldn't be more different.
History of China
A Captivating Guide to Chinese History, Including Events Such as the First Emperor of China, the Mongol Conquests of Genghis Khan, the Opium Wars, and the Cultural Revolution
Narrated by: Edwin Andrews
The history of China is complex - perhaps, more complex than that of other nations. The ethnic groups that compose China go back to prehistoric times, and each group lent its own color to the enormous nation. It is not like a diluted mixture of all its cultures; rather, it is a collage. Yet, there are immutable elements still present today. Rice originated in China, and so did stir-frying.
A Captivating Guide to Ancient African Civilizations, Such as the Kingdom of Kush, the Land of Punt, Carthage, the Kingdom of Aksum, and the Mali Empire with Its Timbuktu
Africa is the continent where the first humans were born. They explored the vast land and produced the first tools. And although we migrated from that continent, we never completely abandoned it. From the beginning of time, humans lived and worked in Africa, leaving evidence of their existence in the sands of the Sahara Desert and the valleys of the great rivers, such as the Nile and the Niger. Some of the earliest great civilizations were born there, and they give us an insight into the smaller kingdoms of ancient Africa.
History of Rome
A Captivating Guide to Roman History, Starting from the Legend of Romulus and Remus Through the Roman Republic, Byzantium, Medieval Period, and Renaissance to Modern History
The importance of Rome cannot be argued. Its history is not the history of Italy or its people. Rome is a part of the foundation of Europe, just as Athens is. Without it, the world as we know it today wouldn't exist. In History of Rome: A Captivating Guide to Roman History, Starting from the Legend of Romulus and Remus Through the Roman Republic, Byzantium, Medieval Period, and Renaissance to Modern History, you will discover topics such as the founding of Rome, the Roman Republic, the third and early fourth centuries, the Renaissance, modern history of Rome, and more.
The Quakers
A Captivating Guide to a Historically Christian Group and How William Penn Founded the Colony of Pennsylvania in British North America
Narrated by: Colin Fluxman
Many other mainline Christians viewed the Quakers as a dangerous sect, so much so that they pressured the British Parliament to pass the Quaker Act of 1662. This act set forth in law the "prescribed form" of prayer and worship as designated by the state. It was a formula that specifically left the traditions of the Quakers out. Unable to gain acceptance in England, the Quakers would soon leave the place of their origin altogether and try their luck in a brave new world on another continent.
A Captivating Guide to an Era in American History That Overlaps the Reconstruction Era and Coincides with Parts of the Victorian Era in Britain Along with the Belle Époque in France
From a modern perspective, it may seem that the United States was a major powerhouse since its early days. However, the truth is far from it. This transformation from a weak and relatively poor dominion into a world-class international power was undoubtedly a long process, yet it achieved its peak in the late 19th century. At that time, the US managed to achieve change in many aspects, from economic and social to political and military. This period of growth has become known as the Gilded Age.

The Opium Wars
A Captivating Guide to the First and Second Opium War and Their Impact on the History of the United Kingdom and China
When diplomatic efforts to introduce opium to the Chinese market failed, the British Parliament approved an alternative: war. There were two wars: one from 1839 to 1842, and another from 1856 to 1860. They are collectively known as the Opium Wars. The British, who were joined by French and supported by the Americans and Russians, clashed with Imperial China, which was ruled by the Qing dynasty.
The Romanovs
A Captivating Guide to the Last Imperial Dynasty to Rule Russia and the Impact the Romanov Family Had on Russian History
An undoubtedly interesting, exciting, and dramatic chapter of Russian history was when it was ruled over by the Romanov dynasty. This powerful ruling family came to power shortly after the frightening rule of a legendary figure in Russian history: Ivan the Terrible. After murdering his own son and unborn grandson, Ivan died without an heir, resulting in the formation of a new dynasty. This was the Romanov family.

The Kingdom of Kush
A Captivating Guide to an Ancient African Kingdom in Nubia That Once Ruled Egypt
The kingdom of Kush was completely forgotten once it met its end. The stories of its might didn't survive in the cultures of its successor kingdoms, possibly because Christianization soon followed, which required the people of the Nubian region to turn toward the East and the myths of the Christian messiah.

A Captivating Guide to an Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of England and Its Rulers such as Alfred the Great, Edward the Elder, and Athelstan
The Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Wessex was created through conquest by the Germanic tribe known as the Gewisse. For the following 500 years, this kingdom went through various transformations. Some even argue that those transformations were nothing more than the natural development of a society. However, while the other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms prospered and rose to be a significant power in the region, just to fall from grace and be consumed in the events of the period, Wessex pressed on.
Davy Crockett: A Captivating Guide to the American Folk Hero Who Fought in the War of 1812 and the Texas Revolution
If, as historian Thomas Carlyle said, the history of the world is but the biography of great men, then it is also true that the story of the great men is a parable of their times, places, and generational aspirations. The life of Davy Crockett, one of the most cherished and remembered American frontiersmen, is an accurate representation of the United States as it stretched westward to become one of the largest nations in the world. Yet, David Crockett was not a mythical character but a very real person.

The Mughal Empire
A Captivating Guide to the Mughal Empire in South Asia and the Impact the Mughals Had on the History of India

The Mughal Empire also took the territories of what used to be known as Hindustan in the northern Indian subcontinent.
If you want to discover the captivating history of the British Raj, then pay attention...
The British presence in India lasted for nearly 350 years, but only the last 90 were under the direct rule of the British government. To some, 90 years might seem a short period to write a history book about. However, the time of the British Raj was very influential. It brought change to Indian politics, education, society, infrastructure, industry, and other aspects of Indian life. But while the British Empire brought modernization to its colonies, that modernization came with a price.
The British Raj did not cover just where India is today. In fact, it spanned across the territories of four separate states that exist today: Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Burma. It is estimated that around a quarter of a million British were buried in these territories since the East India Company set its first foothold. The oldest European graves can be found in port cities such as Madras or Bombay, where the first merchants settled trading offices.
In The British Raj: A Captivating Guide to the British in India, Starting from the Indian Rebellion of 1857 to the Indian Independence Act of 1947, you will discover topics such as:
East India Company, the first British presence on the Indian subcontinent
The Crown's rule of India
The famines of India
Nationalism in India
India during World War I
World War II, the "Quit India" Movement, and independence

Alcohol and You: How to Control and Stop Drinking
What listeners say about The British Raj
Lucas W Johnson
Very detailed history of Great Britain in India
A very comprehensive study of the force of Great Britain's authoritative power in India and how it made India the country it is today. What really stands out is the strengths of the Indians to retain control of their control through the 200 hundred years. Many enterprises failed as the British struggled to keep the brightest of the Indians out of the higher positions however they were able to result driven by their service to their country and people.
Lois R Simms
vaunted British Raj in India gets a good audible
It is revisionist in its approach. The view of the Raj (meaning the British imperial rule in India, which included what is now Pakistan and Bangladesh) is that the British were and thoroughly in control. Wilson's view is that the British continually worried about their defense and that much of the history was a consequence of insecurity and policies cobbled together in answer to events.
Kyle N Barela
History of Colonial India with a focus on india
The Chaos of Empire is an account of the British rule of India and how it evolved over the centuries until independence. It discusses the colonial period with a revisionist angle on the lack of immersion by the rulers, the lack of strategic vision, and the constant frictions due to culture clashes. It is informative at times the writing is without it can be a bit tough to get through at times.
Rosalinda R Wood
How the British Adjusted to Living in India
David Gilmour's audible is addition to the literature on the social life of the British in India. His audible provides a rich tapestry of their everyday experiences during their stay in India for over two centuries.
Stephen G Curran
Funny, Brilliant, Enlightening
I have been very interested in the impact on Indian History and Culture due to the Colonial incursion. This audible is brilliant, funny, and insightful. I now must listen to everything he's listening! It's not the audible fault, but I had been promised a signed copy and my copy was not signed.
Jesse L Derosa
The British Raja
Very good listening. I like the fact that it interested in soloing the good the British did and knot just the bad
Lori T Ramirez
A balanced view about the history of British rule
The British Raj: The History and Legacy of Great Britain's Hegemony in India and the Indian Subcontinent gave a reasonably fair/ balance discussion of British rule in India. The British Raj lasted approximately 90 years, between 1857 ( after the mutiny) and 1947. The British East India Company was created in 1600, it was essentially a house enterprise and that acted as its own country. the audible describes in a compact use British beliefs and behavior in India.
Saturnina C Byrd
the British Empire and the stereotypes
I remember listening to visual depictions of India existed under the rule of the British Empire and the conventions within India from coarse Hollywood movies that persist today. There is also the knowledge that India as the world has made great moves to develop itself and to become a significant commercial and administrative player in the Far East.
Robert M Green
A solid primer
For those who have no good idea of what was meant by the British Raj in India, this is a great place to begin. As an audible go, it's not that well organized, though thorough. It feels as if it were written by a committee, and it flows like a rocky stream, but it is listen.
Donna T Phipps
Freedom or The End of Indian Culture
The last Raj is known to as the man above faith could contain. Despite the high indexes of mortality rate increasing at an unbelievable, what gave rise was figures seen as foes. Gandhi stayed to work for the "freedom" of his people, however, what ensued was the remains of the British Parliament and gubernatorial wanton of the supposed monarchy. The Monarch was not going to encounter head-on the straight forward approach of resting assembling to negate Indian legitimacy. This guide shows a brighter uptake on hard happenings were those conditions and confirm authenticity. Great Job!
Jasmine Patterson
Excellent "balcony" view of world history
Excellent perspective on Europe and Britain's attacks on the world that still influenced the events of today. I felt it gives an effective perspective on what was good and bad about imperialism. Some of the old class, prejudice, and bigotry that was so prevalent (and maybe is always) are certainly discussed.
Courtney Evans
A great start to understanding the army of Raj
An entertaining read from Richard Holmes. It was not a heavy history but anecdotes divided along with themes. The edition I have was a paperback and was 572 pages with the listening stopping on page 506. Richard Holmes has not attempted to provide a blow by blow history of the Raj but rather a read about what soldiering was like in British India for both the British East India Company soldiers as well as those from the British Army. He did, however, provide a quick history at the start to give the listen to the context of the anecdotes that come afterward. He has chosen his episodes well, although sometimes it seemed to be a case of cut and paste with minimum thread from him.
Jade Watkins
The British Soldier
audible was full of and useful information, but unfortunately, the years in which I was particularly interested, namely 1800-1825, were almost completely neglected. Also little information about 17th Foot army, and in fact, some discrepancies in the work compared to other published information (Historical record of the 17th or Leicestershire Regiment of Foot; Richard Cannon, Esq.; London, 1848). However, still a jolly good read.
Well listen and most interesting.
Informative, well researched, and the most interesting listen. In view of the fact that our nation is so deeply involved in what was formerly known as the Northwest Frontier during the British Raj, the stories associating with British military experiences in that arena are enlightening and give the listening pause to wonder at how little has grown in that region.
Jony Bairstow
My grandfather served in the British Army in ...
Excellent! My grandfather served in the British Army in India from 1870 to 1881. This audible gives an insight into the conditions they suffered. You will hear endless tails of the ruthlessness visited in the Indian society by the Raj.
Molly S Nelson
Another Gem from the British Soldier's Biographer
It's relatively easy to listen to an account of the life of a prominent general or another wartime leader, especially if one comes late to the composition party after sufficient time has passed to allow the accumulation of encomiums, accounts of battles, maybe even the subject has listening an autobiography or other reminiscence. Not so with the common soldier, you know, the poor devil who served as the collateral to the hero's chess master. But Richard Holmes has found the design, to our delight and education.
Jude H Holden
surprised to listen that India paid for England
This volume explains the overall picture of the association that the British had with the Indians. I was surprised to listen that India paid for England's Industrial Revolution. Both countries benefited from their community financially but I doubt Indians were expressly thankful for the British rule. The British were fairly dismissive of Indian culture and religions.
Finlay M Norton
History of India with the nature of British govern
The Chaos of Empire is an account of the British rule of India and how it evolved over the centuries until independence. It discusses the colonial period with a revisionist angle on the lack of immersion by the governors, the lack of strategic vision, and the constant impedance due to culture clashes the political history of the British in India. It is informative at the writing is without direction it can be a bit tough to get through at times.
Scott S Allan
An unbiased view of British India.
Just finished listening to this insightful and well-documented work. This is the second audible I have to listen to on the subject time period in India's history and was impressed with the objective view the author took in presenting several sides to some of the major questions that archivists have debated in the years following the end of British India rule. Would definitely recommend this to anyone engaged in this time frame of India's history.
Ellis D Gallagher
A thorough recap of India
Matt Clayton's The British Raj: A Captivating Guide to the British in India tells me how it all started and covers the ninety years from the Indian rebellion of 1857 to the Indian Independence Act of 1947. listening through this tells me how the British presence in India influenced the political and economic development in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Burma, and India. The British were attempting to gain a part of the economic riches under the control of the Portuguese and French.

About Soliloquies
Soliloquies is a student-run literary journal published bi-annually out of Concordia University in Montreal. We accept poetry, prose, and creative non-fiction submissions from 'Canadian' writers and artists.
Each year, we publish two issues in print and online. Our mission is two-tiered. We aim to provide the student body with valuable publishing, editing and design experience, while showcasing new voices that you might not otherwise encounter alongside more seasoned writers. Soliloquies places an emphasis on artistic freedom.
In the past, we have published many writers who transcend literary boundaries while maintaining an appreciation for a rich literary tradition. It is our belief that no piece of art is implacable and we try to foster an atmosphere of individual creativity. We are looking for strong, unique voices that come together in a dialogue that represents the talented group of emerging writers in Montreal and elsewhere.
The journal was established in 1997 as part of Concordia's Art Matters Festival. Since then, we have spread our wings by publishing more broadly and more frequently while maintaining an all-Concordia editorial committee.

Q: DispatcherServlet and Controller (Tomcat status 500) I try to create some controllers and I've got some problem with RequestMapping (I think it's that a problem). This is must be an Web App with Spring.
 package Controllers;

 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
 @RestController
 @RequestMapping(value = "/rest")
  public class WelcomeRestController {
 @RequestMapping(value = "/welcome")
  public String welcome(){
    return "{message:welcome}";
   }
}

I also try to write @RequestMapping("/rest"), because if I don't declare the method, I've got the default one that is GET.
 import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
 import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
 import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
 @EnableWebMvc
 @Configuration
 @ComponentScan(basePackages = {"Controllers"})
  public class WebConfig {}

 import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext;
 import org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet;
 import org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet;
 import org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer;

 public class AppInizializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {

protected Class<String>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
    return new Class[0];
}

protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
    return new Class<?>[]{WebConfig.class};
}

protected FrameworkServlet createDispatcherServlet(WebApplicationContext servletAppContext) {
    DispatcherServlet ds= new DispatcherServlet(servletAppContext);
    ds.setThrowExceptionIfNoHandlerFound(true);
    return ds;
}

protected String[] getServletMappings() {
    return new String[]{"/"};
       }
 }

When I start my code, Catalina deploy my project but give me some warning about BeanCreationException at RequestMapping, so in browser I see an HTTP STATUS 500 - INTERNAL SERVER ERROR.

Phnom Penh Post - Pilot training makes a return
Pilot training makes a return
Eddie Morton | Publication date 14 August 2014 | 09:07 ICT
A plane takes off from Phnom Penh International Airport last year. Cambodia Angkor Air will start training commercial pilots after a 25-year hiatus in the Kingdom. Heng Chivoan
Eddie Morton
Cambodia Angkor Air (CAA) on Tuesday signed an agreement with Viet Flight Training Joint Stock Company (VFT) to restart training local pilots, decades after Cambodia ceased schooling locals to fly commercial aircraft.
CAA representative Thai Binh Tran said 50 to 70 budding local pilots are expected to enrol in the course within the first year, with a fee of $80,000 per student. The new generation of Cambodian pilots will be trained in facilities in Vietnam and in the United States before returning to work exclusively for CAA.
VFT has invested some $3 million to launch the 72-week, which leaves graduates qualified to co-pilot commercial airlines, according to Tran.
"Firstly the student must invest himself in the school fees, and after having obtained good records, he is sponsored and reimbursed 50 per cent of the school fees. This is considered the scholarships for students," Tran told the Post.
"There is high demand in recruiting pilots in the region, not only in Cambodia. The training program helps the young Cambodians to pursue good careers as well as affirm the aviation industry in Cambodia."
Chan Oddumkrissna, a 25-year-old flight attendant for CAA, has dreamt of being a pilot since his childhood.
"My father was also a pilot. I have memories as a child when my dad would take me to his office and I would play with the model airplanes, and take photos of myself on my father's lap pretending to fly the airplane," he said.
"It is my dream job."
Oddumkrissna's parents have agreed to pay for his schooling fees. However, the 25-year-old is confident that after graduating, he will be able to earn back the money in a matter of years.
"I heard pilots can earn between $5,000 and $6,000 per month," he said.
CAA, which is 49 per cent owned by Vietnam Airlines, remains Cambodia's sole international flag-carrier with a current fleet of seven aircraft. But the airline is eyeing rapid growth in the coming years, with passenger capacities increasing more than 70 per cent from about 12,500 weekly seats recorded in January 2013 to about 21,500 weekly seats recorded in January this year.
The new agreement is set to help bolster the growing industry, CAA's President Tek Rethsamrach said during the announcement of the flight training program, held at in Phnom Penh on Tuesday.
"This is the first agreement after Cambodia has not sent students to study commercial pilot skills for 25 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union," he said.
Keo Sivorn, director general at the State Secretariat for Civil Aviation (SSCA), is an ex-pilot himself. As was one of the few Cambodian pilots to train in the Soviet Union back in the 1980s, Sivorn welcomed VFT's Tuesday announcement, but said the local aviation industry is short of more than just pilots.
"There are about 20 experienced pilots left, but now they are all aged in their 50s or 60s. There are no young pilots here anymore," Sivorn said, adding that most experienced Cambodian pilots have historically found employment in other Asian countries such as Thailand or Malaysia due to a lack of domestic demand.
"But now we [SSCA] are in the process of evaluating some companies to have Air Operations Certificates. We need pilots, aviation engineers, mechanics and more aviation management officials to fill the industry too."
The new training deal comes ten months after the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) inked a $10 million deal to set up a local Civil Aviation Training Center (CATC).
KOICA, in October announced the construction of the facility, which will provide training for ground staff, flight crews and air traffic controllers. The facility is slated to open at the eastern compound of Phnom Penh International Airport in 2015.

Parents value their children's education very highly and they want qualified teachers in the classroom.
Online PhD in education programs can help teachers learn more about their students and do a better job molding the minds of tomorrow. There are several fields of teaching that an EdD is recommended for, because the fields involve adult learning and advanced topics like psychology.
Earning a Doctorate in education can also allow students to learn techniques to use in the classroom for younger students and leadership skills for being involved in teacher programs and functioning in the school structure.


The French sculptor Jules Dalou was Rodin's contemporary, and his works occupy key sites in Paris, such as the Place de la Nation. Despite Dalou's success in the public realm, he is relatively unknown. This study exhibition aims in part to rectify that, looking at Dalou's British period, when he was sent into exile for his left-wing connections and, ironically, found his niche among the English aristocracy. During Dalou's nine years in exile, the Countess of Carlisle at Castle Howard was a supportive patron. Dalou made an innovative small portrait of the Countess, a bronze version of which is the departure point for this exhibition. The exhibition focuses on four works featuring seated women, drawing on the series of intimate statuettes on the theme of modern womanhood which Dalou made while he was here. Dalou in England reveals how the artist's experience of the Paris Commune, his subsequent exile and move to London encouraged him to concentrate on domestic themes not normally associated with politically progressive art. Arriving with his wife and disabled daughter, the artist remained within a small circle of French-speaking artists and patrons. His experience of exile was one of enclosure within the domestic sphere. The statuettes which Dalou made in the 1870s encompassed women from the working classes, the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy, all rendered in a table-top size that encouraged comparison between the works. These exquisite pieces demonstrate the style of gentle realism that Dalou developed in order to express his ideas about femininity, class and the condition of exile. Dalou's eye for detail — from peasant dress to the latest fashions, as well as accessories such as baskets or chairs — suggests that he is an acute social observer. Dalou in England proposes that these images were meant to be understood as a series; they were created to allow for deliberate comparison. Dalou, through his images of women, revealed and questioned the stratified nature of modern society and its strict demarcations between the classes.

Preview: RMU looks to sprint ahead at Eden Hall Invitational

Editor's Note: Robert Morris ended up not participating in the Eden Hall Invitational due to too many injured and sick athletes.
The Robert Morris women's cross country team will head to Gibsonia, PA, this weekend for the Eden Hall Invitational. This meet will be hosted by Chatham University of the Presidents Athletic Conference (PAC). The Colonials will be looking to make up for their 8th place finish in their last meet, the Tommy Mills Invitational.
For Chatham, runner Rebecca Pennington won the last meet for the Cougars at the Waynesburg Invitational. Robert Morris will be looking to have a good result of their own here at this huge meet. Let's take a look at this upcoming event.
Penalty Kicks: Lone wolf episode
Power rankings of the NEC Mascots
OPINION: Robert Morris football is back
Coach Clark says Colonials showed a lot of resilience, but tackling is still an issue
A look at RMU
The Colonials will enter their 3rd meet of the season looking to improve on the slow start they have had thus far this season. RMU kicked the season off at the Duquesne Duals. Their best finish at this event came from Sami Felton, who placed 35th.
A week later, Robert Morris headed to Akron for the Tommy Evans Invitational. Here, the Colonials came in 8th out of nine teams. Felton led the way for the Colonials once again, and teammate Tara Richardson finished 25 seconds later.
Now the Colonials have had three weeks off prior to the meet this weekend. We will have to wait and see if they improved during this large gap in their schedule. It will be very interesting to see come Saturday.
A look at Chatham
The host of this meet, Chatham University, have had three events thus far on their 2018 campaign. They fell to Allegheny at the Cougar Challenge to begin the season. The Cougars then came in 6th out of seven teams at the Allegheny Classic. Rebecca Pennington would then win the 3rd meet of the season, the Waynesburg Invitational. However, the next highest finishing Cougars would come in 42nd and 43rd place.
Chatham has indeed struggled this year, but through Pennington, they have a chance at success. Add this to the fact that they are the hosts of this meet, and the Cougars could be dangerous this weekend.
Who to watch
Rebecca Pennington (Chatham): Pennington has consistently been the most reliable runner the Cougars have. She commonly finishes far ahead of her teammates and has won an event this year. Her average mile time has been around 6:10 so far this year. Pennington is the key to success for Chatham at their own event. Don't be surprised to see her name towards the top of the finishers list.
Sami Felton (RMU): Felton has led the Colonials through their two meets this season. Due to the Colonials sluggish start to begin their season, they will be turning to her to lead them. Felton has had a mile time that usually falls in the 6:20-6:30 range which is the best on the team. She will definitely have the best finish for the Colonials at this meet.

The morning sun illuminates the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Monday as the government teeters on the brink of a partial shutdown at midnight unless Congress can reach an agreement on funding.
LANSING -- With a shutdown of the federal government appearing imminent, the U.S. Department of Education is warning that a delay of more than a week could "severely curtail" funding to colleges and schools.
A "furlough contingency plan" posted on the department's website details how the agency's programs and more than 4,000 employees would be affected.
College students receiving Pell Grants and federal student loans would go largely unaffected by the shutdown, the agency states in the plan, as those programs are funded through multi-year and ongoing appropriations from Congress. However, most of the staff overseeing those programs would be furloughed except for a skeleton crew necessary to provide oversight.
Those furloughs could make it difficult for grant or loan recipients to get answers to questions, as only 138 employees working on Pell Grants or the Direct Loan program would be allowed to continue work during a shutdown.
Elementary and secondary schools could face more consequences from an extended shutdown. The department's plan would allow for payments to school districts during the first week of October under several grant programs, including Title I funds for schools with low-income populations.
Those grants total more than $22 billion and have already been appropriated, the department states, calling making those payments a "necessary exception" to the shutdown.
However, the department warns that if the shutdown lasts longer than a week, programs across the country would be hurt.
"A protracted delay in Department obligations and payments beyond one week would severely curtail the cash flow to school districts, colleges and universities, and vocational rehabilitation agencies that depend on the Department's funds to support their services," the plan states.
Some school districts receive up to 20 percent of their total funding through federal grants and programs, the department states, and colleges receive funds to support dropout prevention programs for disadvantaged students.

When it opens next week, Las Vegas Ballpark will highlight locally inspired food and drink options, adding a unique element to the new home of the Las Vegas Aviators (Class AAA; Pacific Coast League).
Located in Downtown Summerlin, the brand-new Las Vegas Ballpark will open on April 9, when the Aviators (formerly the 51s) take on the Sacramento River Cats. Ahead of the ballpark's first game, one of the features that is being noted is its concessions lineup, which will contain a slate of food options from local and celebrity chefs as well as unique beverage choices.
Celebrity chef Giada de Laurentiis has the starring position in a lineup that includes Strip veteran Brian Howard, whose Sparrow + Wolf has attracted a Chinatown cult following. Along with local favorites The Goodwich, Ferraro's Italian Restaurant &Wine Bar, Capriotti's Sandwich Shop, Me Gusta Tacos, Tenaya Creek Brewery and Modern Mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim, the team will hit the stadium's culinary program right out of the park when it opens April 9 at Downtown Summerlin.
De Laurentiis will serve signature dishes including orzo meatballs, gourmet pizzettes and Italian salads to suite- and club-level guests. Her Frose, a rose-based ice-blended drink garnished with basil, will be served stadium-wide.
Sarah Camarota, hospitality experience curator for Las Vegas Ballpark, said plans for food service have been in the works for a year and are as tied to the emotions as they are to the palate. People go to the ballpark, she said, for quality time with family and friends, so emotional connections tend to form around baseball.
There has been considerable change in Las Vegas leading up to the 2019 season. Aside from construction of Las Vegas Ballpark, the franchise rebranded from 51s to Aviators and signed a two-year player development contract with the Oakland A's, who will take over from the New York Mets as Las Vegas' parent club. Las Vegas Ballpark is the franchise's successor to Cashman Field, which remains open as home to Division II professional soccer's Las Vegas Lights FC (USL Championship).

What to Expect from the Biden Administration in the World of IP
Maggie Evans
TAKEAWAY: The Biden administration is expected to renew support for federal funding of R&D and take steps to strengthen enforcement of IP rights through diplomatic and legal channels.
According to major media outlets, as of Saturday, November 7, 2020, Joe Biden is the projected winner of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. While certification of the election results is pending, his website buildbackbetter.com sets forth details about the transition in administration, identifying Agency Review Teams (ARTs) preparing for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and their cabinet to "hit the ground running on Day One."
While the incoming administration has a number of more pressing issues to tackle, changes in agency leadership and policy relating to IP rights are expected.
As to leadership, announcements regarding the officials likely to be appointed to lead the USPTO and other agencies implicating IP rights have yet to be made. For the USPTO, members of the Department of Commerce ART presumably would be involved in preliminary discussions on political appointments.
As to policy, the Biden-Harris campaign platform had promised to "mak[e] a national commitment to get off the sidelines as competitors are making aggressive public investments in science and technology to take over global leadership in the most advanced technologies." The campaign also criticized the idea of "invent it here, make it there," stating that new products resulting from taxpayer-funded research "should be made in the U.S. or the company should reimburse the government for its support."
Biden has experience working with the USPTO. As Vice President during the Obama administration, he led the National Cancer Moonshot initiative aimed at expediting research for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. This included implementing a Cancer Immunotherapy Pilot Program at the USPTO, also called Patents 4 Patients, a program that is still in place and has been extended to June 2022. Under this program, cancer immunotherapy-related patent applications are eligible for accelerated examination without an extra fee. The Biden-Harris Transition Team has identified COVID-19 and climate change as priorities for immediate action, both areas in which innovation is plays an important role.
With respect to IP enforcement, the Biden-Harris campaign vowed to confront foreign efforts to steal American IP, including possible sanctions. Vice President-elect Harris, in her current role as U.S. senator, introduced legislation that would expand the legal tools available to redress victims of trade theft, particularly misappropriation of trade secrets, in the Deterring Espionage by Foreign Entities through National Defense (DEFEND) Act. This bill has not yet been considered by congressional committee.
Based on past efforts and the objectives set forth in the Biden-Harris platform, the Biden administration is likely to promote innovation and undertake strengthening of enforcement of IP rights through diplomatic and legal channels.


The NIKW held its annual Kata course on the weekend of the 9th & 10th April 2016.
Saturday was reserved for the younger association members, who were given excellent ideas and inspiration on improving their own Karate training.
In order to ensure training is worthwhile, young members need to start of with the correct training, so that they can develop and be in a position to apply much tougher training regimes when they reach the appropriate age.
The course started off with ensuring a good warm up routine was completed.
Sensei Brunton used the Pinan Kata to demonstrate the importance of doing the movements correctly. Maintaining technically correct movements will mean Karate will improve, otherwise ones Karate can never improve.
Sunday, saw the adult members get the chance to glean some in depth, key knowledge from one of Europe's foremost authority on Wado-Kai Karate, 7th Dan JKF, Sensei Brunton.
The Importance of embusen (line of attack) not only in moving from one point to another, but when punching and blocking were looked at in detail with some practical examples of how this affects the ability to execute effectively.
The course, while using Kata as a basis of discussion, considers the traditional self-defense applications, which can be applied on other areas of Karate training.
Over both days all were left inspired and keen to focus on developing themselves, whether for flexibility, self-confidence, balance or preparing for competition.
On both days, grading examinations were held, with many passing their grade, ranging from beginners & white belts to green belt grades. Congratulations to them.
While some did not meet the high standard required, they were left with valuable experience and a chance to develop further, ready to double their efforts next time round.
The NIKW remains committed to ensuring a high standard of grades, ensuring all those can take pride in their achievement.

Maroon 5 to Sell Guitars and Other Music Gear Used on Tour and in the Studio
By Richard Bienstock 28 August 2018
The band has teamed up with Reverb.com to launch the online shop.
Online musical instrument marketplace Reverb.com has partnered with L.A.'s Techno Empire to sell gear used on stage and in the studio by Maroon 5. Nearly 200 items—including guitars, microphones, keyboards, and more—will be available for purchase on Reverb beginning on Thursday, August 30.
The Techno Empire Reverb Shop will feature several guitars—including a 2003 Fender '72 Reissue Telecaster Thinline, a late 90's Guild Bluesbird, a 2005 Fender Custom Shop Yuriy Shishkov Telecaster (No. 43 of 50 made), and several Floyd Rose guitars—used by Maroon 5 singer and guitarist Adam Levine and guitarist James Valentine.
"We used all of this gear when we were kids, working hard to establish ourselves as a band. Now, we're in a new phase and we need to clear out what we're not using anymore to make room for the equipment that will help us create what comes next," said keyboardist and rhythm guitarist Jesse Carmichael. "This gear was such a huge part of our story and I hope that it goes to an up-and-coming band or musicians who can make it part of their own story."
Other items include dozens of microphones, including a chrome Shure wireless microphone used by Levine throughout the tour supporting It Won't Be Soon Before Long, the band's second studio album.
The sale will also feature:
· A Gibson Les Paul Jim Beam guitar that the band received in the early 2000s while on tour to support Songs About Jane. "Either Adam or James decided to send that guitar up into the air at the end of one of the songs and when it hit the ground we hit the downbeat of the end of the song. I'm not sure if it recovered into a playable state, but it's a cool-looking guitar."
· A custom-built keytar that was a one-off prototype given to the band by a friend. "If anybody is interested in rocking out on a keytar, then this one is one-of-a-kind," Carmichael said of the instrument.
· A Yamaha S90 keyboard that Carmichael used while the band was touring as Kara's Flowers as well as on the Maroon 5 tour to support the band's debut album, Songs About Jane. The keyboard, which was one of the first that Carmichael ever toured with, was also used to record several tracks from Songs About Jane, including "Secret."
· A custom made OD100 guitar head that Carmichael used in the late '90s when the band was touring as Kara's Flowers. "This was the head that I used on our very first tours right after high school," he said.
· An Akai MPC4000 drum machine the band used while writing It Won't Be Soon Before Long in the mid-2000s. According to Carmichael, the band wrote the album while living at "The Mansion"—the Laurel Canyon home and recording studio owned by producer Rick Rubin and used to produce the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik, among other albums.
· An Open Labs MiKo keyboard that the band used live on tour before Sam Farrar joined the band as a touring member in 2012. "It's a pretty cool setup for playing with virtual software instruments," Carmichael said of the keyboard, which he indicated may still be loaded up with the samples and sounds the band used live.
· A Belvedere Model 1000 chord organ that lived in several of the band's early houses.
The band will also be selling several road cases stamped with the band's name. "I like the idea of road cases being passed down through different bands," Carmichael said. "It's nice to know that there's some history there when you put your gear in a case that's been all around the world with a band."

"A Tale Of Two Rebels"
By Mildred Boyd
January 2002 Guadalajara-Lakeside Volume 18, Number 5
At times, it seemed more like a collaboration between Gilbert and Sullivan and Cecil B. De Mille than a serious revolution-except, of course, that the blood and suffering were all too real. Elections became a game of musical chairs played to the tune of gunfire. Presidents and Dictators; idealists, opportunists and incompetents, followed one another with bewildering rapidity. Whoever held the National Palace when the lead stopped flying won, at least temporarily.
Some left office feet first. Others did a moonlight flit with the contents of the National Treasury. Carranza managed both, absconding with a whole trainload of furniture and bullion, but not quite making it. When his bullet-riddled body was discovered, his successor blandly announced that the poor man had committed suicide! The gold? Who knows?
Only two stars remained constant. Both men were in their thirties and had known poverty and oppression from birth. Both were superb horsemen, ruthless fighters and ardent revolutionists. Both died as violently as they had lived, but they had little else in common.
Doroteo Aranga, born a peon on a large hacienda, made an early start on his bloody career. At sixteen, having murdered the son and raped the daughter of his overlord, he found it prudent to join a band of outlaws. Presumably because no one could take a badman called "Dorothy" seriously, he renamed himself Francisco (Pancho) Villa. Physically, despite the macho name, he was hardly anyone's idea of the big, bad bogeyman. Photographs show him short, chubby and bow-legged, with untidy hair and droopy mustachios framing a cherubic face. Psychologically, he was an enigma, capable of both savage cruelty and maudlin sentimentality. He was a hard-riding, sadistic bully-boy, much given to women and song but, surprisingly, he considered both drinking and smoking detestable. In battle, he was a flamboyant, dashing, courageous and, most important, successful.
Villa took to revolution with gusto. He rides the pages of history like a cross between Ghengis Khan and Robin Hood; happily slaughtering landowners, burning their homes, raping their women, then redistributing their land with a lavish hand. Sometimes, he actually did rob the rich solely to benefit the poor.
Still, social and agrarian reform were not his primary concerns. In fact, he seems to have had no goal beyond revolution itself, and that for the pure hell of it. He could, and often did, help put a man in office only to rebel against him. But then, loyalty was not a noticeably strong trait in any of his compatriots either. Arrested for "insubordination" under Madero, he actually faced the firing squad before a last-minute reprieve arrived. During his imprisonment he learned to read, write and type and enjoyed female companionship before escaping to Texas. Mere exile could not dim Villa's revolutionary zeal. He was soon back, leading cavalry charges, sacking haciendas, rattling over the rails singing "La Cucaracha" and winning battles with undiminished vigour. Eventually he even had his day in the National Palace. As "Political Arbiter" he managed to put his own puppet on the Presidential chair. It was during this short reign, the zenith of his career, that his only meeting with Zapata took place.
His long-standing feud with Carranza ended in defeat, and Villa ceased to be a political power. His rampages across the northern deserts had only nuisance value until the famous raid into U.S. territory stirred up hornet's nests on both sides of the border and brought an American army roaring in hot pursuit. Only World War I and a negotiated "retirement" (amnesty plus a 25,000 acre estate in Durango) saved him.
Villa kept his word, developing his land and acquiring a taste for luxuries. He waxed fat and content, an old war-horse in green pastures, until his crimes finally caught up with him. He died, with three of his four bodyguards, under a hail of assassin's bullets in 1923.
Was it political? The only assassin ever arrested bragged, "I rid humanity of a monster." Yet he served only six months of a twenty-year sentence before being freed and made a colonel in the army.
Emiliano Zapata was quite another story. An Indio from a poor southern village whose lands had been stolen, his only aim was, "Take back the land and shoot anyone who tries to stop you."
Unlike Villa, he was slender, handsome and a bit of a dandy. He always wore sombre black charro-style outfits and huge hats trimmed with silver. Even in old photographs one feels the baleful intensity of his gaze.
As a youth, his outspoken resentment against injustice got him arrested. His sentence? Enforced service in the Federal army! This was common practice and may account for the relative ineffectiveness of such troops. It was also great training for future insurgents like Zapata.
Styling himself the "Attila of the South" and sporting a death's-head banner, he specialized in guerilla warfare. He was as cruel and merciless as Villa and his troops were equally given to murder, rapine and general hell raising, but never without purpose. His 'Ayula Plan,' published in 1911 and named for his lost home, demanded land for the masses. Time after time Zapata supported candidates promising land reform and promptly re-rebelled when each promise was broken. Thus, he alternated between fighting for the current incumbent and evading pursuing armies.
The loyalty of his people, the forested mountains of his home territory and his own cunning combined to keep him and his army safe for many years. It took the treachery of an equally cunning and absolutely ruthless man to bring him to bay. Colonel Jesus Guajardo, a half-breed Yaqui posing as a deserter, offered to divert his entire command to the cause. Zapata, wary even of a fellow indio, demanded some guarantee of his intention. Incredibly, Guajardo obliged by attacking a nearby Federal garrison and, as further proof, ordering all prisoners shot.
Zapata, convinced, arrived at the agreed rendezvous to find Guajardo's entire force lined up as if to do him honor. On command, the 'honor guard' became a firing squad. Zapata and his ten companions died instantly. While Zapata's people filed by his coffin in grief and fear, there was jubilation in the Capitol. Guajardo's receipt of both a huge monetary reward and a big promotion for his double treachery is indicative of Zapata's effectiveness. The eventual adoption of his Ayula Plan is his vindication.
Nearly a century later, Emiliano Zapata's heroism is undisputed. To the small farmers of rural Mexico he is a candidate for sainthood. There is no such clear-cut verdict on Pancho Villa. What was he? Hero? Fiend? Martyr? Or a buffoon straight out of comic opera?

A Time to Be Silent . . .
Each day we show the JESUS film at Clinic Life in Burkina Faso. During three scenes there is total silence in the room, and we make sure not to interrupt.
By Peggy Drake, RN
Peggy, an Alliance international worker, is a nurse at a clinic administered by ACCEDES, the relief and development arm of the national Alliance church in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Each day many hear the gospel for the first time as they see the JESUS film in the waiting room of Clinic Life in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso.
During three scenes in the film there is total silence in the room, and we make sure not to interrupt. The first is when Jesus heals the blind man, the second is when Roman soldiers pound those huge nails into His hands on the cross, and the third is when the tomb is found empty.
These scenes lead to many questions and discussions with our patients in the consultation rooms. Two Alliance international workers follow up with these new believers, who come to Bible studies, widows' classes and the many other activities in the churches here.
Cancer Screening in Burkina Faso
Video courtesy of Esther Schaeffer
A Time to Speak
The two female workers are very good at assisting these women and counseling them as they find their way to our churches. Last fall, when the clinic held a special screening for cervical cancer, the pastoral and medical teams worked together to provide holistic care.
Because two thirds of all new cases of cervical cancer are found in developing countries, Dr. Adama Dembele, a Christian physician who works one evening a week at the clinic, felt an urgent need for this screening. In Burkina Faso, the majority of women with this cancer are diagnosed at a late stage but could have been saved if they had been screened early, followed by treatment of the precancerous lesions.
We screened 501 women, and 55 of them tested positive. In only a few were these precancerous lesions destroyed by cryotherapy (freezing). The rest could not be treated. Our two workers, who are well-known in Bobo for their compassion and biblical teaching, contacted many of the women who discovered that their results were not what anyone wants to hear.
"Thank you for thinking of us," one of the patients said. "The women are very glad for this opportunity because they will know right away if there is a problem."
Pray for our two Alliance workers as they comfort the women who received bad news about the testing for cancer. Pray also for those who are seeking Him but are afraid to convert because of family pressure.
Give to the Great Commission Fund (GCF) to support Alliance workers all around the world who are extending the hope of Christ to the lost and discipling new believers.
Read Peggy Drake's article "Is This Where Those Christians Come From?" illustrating how Alliance people are taking the whole gospel to the whole world.
Your gift to The Great Commission Fund enables international workers like Peggy to minister to the thousands of physically and spiritually hungry people all over the world.

Imprisonment in California
From prison to jail
California has embarked on a reform that might keep more people out of prison
MIRED in fiscal crisis and usually deemed dysfunctional, California under Governor Jerry Brown has nonetheless surprised itself this year with one big reform. Starting this month, it has begun to send people newly convicted of crimes that are non-violent, non-sexual and non-serious, or "non3" in the jargon, to jails, which are run by county sheriffs (and are normally used as pre-sentencing holding pens), instead of prisons, run by the state. This is part of what Mr Brown calls "realignment", a devolution from centralised to local power. But it goes further: these reforms amount to a rethinking of California's, and America's, disastrous three-decade run of "tough-on-crime" fallacies.
That legacy of locking up ever more people for more reasons and more time led to a prison-building boom in the 1980s (California now has 33, not counting "camps"), an explosion of inmate numbers in the 1990s and a corresponding increase in cost to taxpayers. Prison spending went from about 4% of the state budget in the mid-1980s to about 10% now; it exceeds university funding. Inside the prisons, this means inhumane overcrowding. A federal ruling, upheld by the Supreme Court in May, has found the conditions "cruel and unusual", and requires California to release roughly 30,000 inmates in the next two years.
The realignment reforms could, at least in part, address all of these problems. That is because they do not merely shift the same number of inmates with the same problems and costs from one level of government to another. Rather, the new system assumes that counties will do differently and better what the state does badly.
This starts with recidivism. About two in three of the people California releases from prison end up right back in it. Usually, this is because they miss an appointment with their parole officer, fail a drug test or do something else that is stupid but trivial. Then they get readmitted to prison—in remote locations and at ruinous cost, with dental, medical and psychological exams each time—for another stay. And so the revolving door keeps spinning.
In future, most inmates who get out of prison will no longer be on "parole" but on "probation", which means they report to their county, not the state. After all, the counties also run drug-rehabilitation, housing and job-placement programmes that the probationers need to build new and cleaner lives. And this is the objective of a system that claims to be for "corrections and rehabilitation".
If a probationer still gets into trouble, the county can now punish him in ways short of returning him to prison. This might mean more drug treatment or parenting classes, or home detention with a GPS monitor strapped around the ankle, or "flash incarceration" in jail for a few days. The idea, based on research and recent experience in states such as Texas and Hawaii, is that people change behaviour in response to swift and certain consequences, not necessarily severe ones.
Proponents believe crime, already relatively low, could decrease, as offenders who are not dangerous are kept out of prison, where they would be brutalised, and remain integrated in their communities. But opponents, mainly prosecutors and police chiefs, worry that the opposite is more likely. If offenders serve less time inside, whether in prison or jail, it must mean they spend more time on the streets. Crime could increase.
Besides, they fret, why assume that county jails will be any better than state prisons? They are hardly islands of harmony. The jail in Los Angeles County, America's largest, is under federal investigation for brutality and venality by deputies and guards. Now jails will get more crowded to boot. And it is unclear whether the state will give counties enough money to do their new job properly.
As Dean Misczynski at the Public Policy Institute of California puts it, California is "on the verge of a vast experiment". Will crime go up or down? What changes human behaviour? The other 49 states will be paying close attention.

DR Congo To Let Uganda Pursue Rebels On Its Territory
By AFP News
The Democratic Republic of Congo will allow armed forces from neighbouring Uganda to enter its territory to chase rebels blamed for massacres in the region, sources told AFP on Sunday.
The deadliest of scores of armed groups operating in the mineral-rich eastern DR Congo, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) has been blamed for dozens of attacks.
"President (Felix) Tshisekedi has already raised the option of allowing Ugandan troops to enter Congolese territory to chase ADF terrorists together with" UN troops, a presidential adviser told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"But Ugandan troops will not cross the border tonight or tomorrow. All procedures must first be respected, especially with respect to parliament and the DR Congo military command," he said.
Antipas Mbusa Nyamuisi, a local spokesman for the Nande ethnic group, told AFP the Uganda People's Defence Force was given the "formal" green light to hunt down ADF fighters on Congolese soil.
A European diplomat confirmed the news, telling AFP: "We have been informed via our regular channels that President Tshisekedi has authorised Ugandan troops to cross the border to fight the ADF."
According to two diplomatic sources in Kampala, Ugandan forces are already preparing to deploy in the eastern DRC to fight the ADF.
"Congolese and Ugandan officers are already working every day under the Joint Operations Centre set up for intelligence exchange," a Congolese government source told AFP.

"We are happy because President Felix Tshisekedi has kept his word, listening to the point of view of more than 80 percent of the population of Beni and its environs, direct victims of the ADF's exactions and massacres," he said, adding that the operation would be only a "temporary" response.
The two eastern provinces of North Kivu and Ituri have been under a "state of siege" since May, in a bid to step up a military offensive against the rebels, with soldiers replacing civil servants in key positions.
The head of human rights group Asadho, Jean-Claude Katende, said the move to allow in Ugandan troops was "an admission of the failure" of the state of siege.
The ADF began in the 1990s as coalition of armed Ugandan groups, the biggest of which comprised Muslims, who opposed Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.
The ADF, which the United States has formally linked to the Islamic State (IS) group, moved into eastern DRC in 1995, establishing itself in the Rwenzori Mountains in North Kivu.
In April 2019, IS began to claim some ADF attacks on social media, presenting the group as its regional branch.
The decision to allow Ugandan troops into the country does not sit well with many Congolese who resent the role played by their Ugandan and Rwandan neighbours over the past nearly 30 years.
"If Ugandan troops enter the DRC, Rwanda will also send its own troops into our territory," said Beni resident Augustin Kambale. "And my fear is seeing the two countries settling scores again on our turf."
Regular Rwandan and Ugandan forces fought with light and heavy weapons in Kisangani, a major mining hub in northeastern DRC in 2000, leaving several dozen dead and hundreds wounded.
UN agencies and humanitarian groups have regularly accused Uganda and Rwanda of backing armed groups operating in eastern DR Congo.
Uganda has blamed the ADF for at least two suicide bombings in November, and in early October Rwanda said it had arrested 13 ADF militants who it said were planning attacks in the DRC.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's president vowed to increase troop numbers to fend off attacks by Russia-backed separatist rebels and warned his countrymen that there is still the threat of a "large-scale invasion," in an impassioned speech to mark Independence Day on Monday.
Speaking during a military parade, President Petro Poroshenko said Ukraine must not be complacent even though hostilities have largely died down. In a show of force, thousands of Ukrainian servicemen marched in downtown Kiev on to mark the country's independence from the Soviet Union on Aug. 24, 1991.
Poroshenko didn't say how many more troops he would send to eastern Ukraine. He claimed that Russia had massed about 50,000 troops on the border with Ukraine and had supplied the rebels with about 500 tanks and 400 pieces of artillery. Poroshenko warned that Russia is wary of an outright invasion and is instead developing another strategy: sow discord across all of Ukraine and thus spoil its relations with its Western allies.
The Ukrainian troops taking part in the Independence Day commemorations carried rifles but, unlike last year, the parade didn't feature any of the more powerful weaponry as Ukraine is mired in a conflict between government forces and Russia-backed separatists.
The presidents of Ukraine, France and Germany are meeting this evening in Berlin to discuss a peaceful solution to the crisis. Moscow is not sending its representative to Berlin, but said it would watch the meeting closely.
Poroshenko told reporters in Kiev that the meeting is crucial for Ukraine, Germany and France to "coordinate their positions" before a possible meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Today... is a happy day for Ukrainians, but it's an ordinary day for us here on the front line," platoon commander Roman Pikulyk said in the town of Avdiivka. "My heart longs to celebrate, but here holiday feels different, because at war every day is a miracle when one has survived."
