Self-Esteem Group Activities
By Kenneth Bailey	 On Nov 29, 2021
When you're experiencing a crisis of confidence or are struggling with your self-esteem, it's a good idea to try and do something about it. While lots of people can work through their self-esteem issues on their own, others require some help and assistance along the way, which is where self-esteem group activities can come in handy. Such activities vary, but they bring people together with a common and shared purpose.
We explain why self-esteem group activities are a helpful way of boosting feelings of self-worth, and also why it's important to work on your feelings of self-esteem.
Why is Self-Esteem Important?
No matter what you do in life, self-esteem is hugely important. After all, self-esteem refers to the way that you feel about yourself and it contributes to everything that you do. If you are someone who struggles with low self-esteem, then you may lack the motivation and the confidence to achieve your potential, and ultimately live life to the fullest.
But that being said, so many people struggle with self-esteem for a range of different reasons. While some of us just struggle to see the positives in our day-to-day situations, others live their realities that have been defined by negative or overly difficult experiences. Regardless of why you might be struggling with self-esteem, it's important to do something about it.
Are Self-Esteem Group Activities Helpful?
Different things work for different people. And while some individuals who struggle with their feelings of self-esteem won't like the idea of participating in a group, others will find that self-esteem group activities are precisely the remedy they've been looking for. After all, there's undoubtedly value in sitting with others who can relate to your experiences.
At the core of self-esteem group activities is the sense of belonging, and the assurance that you're not alone in the way you think about yourself. Often, by hearing from other people who share your difficulties in life and view themselves in a similar way to you, it can be incredibly insightful, and may even motivate you to make some changes that will influence the way you feel about yourself.
Who Should Participate in Self-Esteem Group Activities?
So many different people can potentially benefit from self-esteem group activities. They can help individuals who are looking to connect with like-minded people to try and work through their problems, and they're also beneficial for groups of people who share circumstances. With this in mind, self-esteem activities could benefit students, sports teams, or even work colleagues who are going through a difficult time.
It's vital not to overlook the significance of self-esteem, as struggling with a low sense of self-worth is likely to negatively affect various aspects of your life. By acknowledging that you're struggling with self-esteem and by participating in self-esteem group activities, you have an excellent chance of improving your situation and making yourself feel much better.

Metacritic je ameriška spletna stran, ki zbira ocene kritikov video iger, filmov, TV-serij, knjig in albumov, objavljenih v drugih medijih. Po posebni formuli izračuna povprečje ocen in nato po tem kriteriju razvršča ta dela. Povprečje, ki se izraža v odstotkih, spletna stran zaokroži v eno od barv na barvni lestvici (rdečo, rumeno ali zeleno), ki predstavlja njeno oceno konsenza kritikov o določenem delu. Ta je predvsem v industriji video iger vplivna mera kakovosti, ki neposredno vpliva na prodajo (prve ocene kritikov so na tem področju objavljene še preden je naslov v prodaji). Poleg tega Metacritic zbira tudi glasove prijavljenih uporabnikov in primerja njihovo oceno z oceno kritikov.

Za vsako področje ima spletna stran seznam medijev, iz katerih povzema recenzije. V primerih, ko ocena ni toliko natančna (npr. samo med 1 in 5) ali je samo opisna, jo uredniki pretvorijo v odstotke po lastni presoji in izračunajo obteženo povprečje, s katerim dajo recenzijam v uglednejših medijih večji vpliv na rezultat. Natančna formula ni javna.

Stran so leta 2001 ustanovili Marc Doyle, Julie Doyle Roberts in Jason Dietz kot konkurenco nekoliko starejšemu in filmom posvečenemu spletišču Rotten Tomatoes, ki bi pokrivala širše področje. Čez nekaj let so jo prodali podjetju CNET Networks, ki ga je kasneje prevzel CBS Interactive (podružnica korporacije CBS Corporation). Pod CBS Interactive sodi tudi sorodna spletna stran GameRankings, ki se osredotoča na video igre.

If the culture is sick then no amount of flowers and grapes will heal it. If the culture is healthy then creating the right atmosphere will help it to shine.
Look around you, what do you see? Now look within, do you get the same impression? If you do, that's great – or at least it is if the message is a positive one. But I bet that in far too many instances there is a disconnect; that the style is not reflected by the substance of the culture in action.
Let me explain. With the rise of Silicon Valley came a rash of 'me too' imitations; businesses which jumped on the 'pool table and crazy workspace' phenomenon in the thought that if only they could copy the exterior appearances, they too would instantly transform into groundbreaking innovative organisations. And in a way you can't really blame them. After all, the idea of using our surroundings to deliver a message is hardly a new one. Banks for example may nowadays be trying to look like coffee shops but before their recent transformations the overwhelming message was one of solidity and quiet sobriety, using building design and furniture to imbue a sense of trust.
Admittedly they are by no means the only organisations to do this. Whether a slightly larger desk is a sign of promotion or the foyer is discreetly decked out in dark woods and lush green plants, it's an undeniable fact that businesses have long sought to use buildings and interiors to enhance their message. And it also has to be said that sometimes the building and its decor provides a vital first impression for customers. Walk into a bar with bright lights, bare floors and shiny tables and you instantly know that you're in for a far different experience than one which offers dim lighting, soft chairs and the gentle drift of fish across an indoor pool.
But, and this is a big but, the style which you offer is nothing unless it is supported by the culture and ethos of the organisation. Set up the office to convey discretion is one thing, but not if you then chat about my affairs whilst on your daily commute. And if your choice of furniture is designed to make me trust you with my money whilst at the same time your investment in dodgy loans and mortgages is leading towards a financial crash then to be quite honest you are little more than a con artist.
The same equation is true when it comes to your employees. It really doesn't matter what surroundings you choose if they are at variance with the culture. Yes if you want to promote innovation then some sort of universally accessible recreation area may be beneficial, but only because innovation requires interaction and collaboration. Promote those two behaviours and recreational areas will help; install communal areas but continue to promote a competitive siloed culture and all you are doing is wasting your money and actively disengaging your employees.
Now I have to say that creating an ambiance which attracts customers and enables employees to deliver the organisational strategy can be a vital element in business success. But it will only do so if the culture is right in the first place. If the culture is sick then no amount of flowers and grapes will heal it. If the culture is healthy then creating the right atmosphere will help it to shine.
Look around you; do you see style or substance? Maybe it's time to refurbish your culture.

Ruffled feathers
What does Chinese attack on Canada Goose suggest?
The label has been criticised by Chinese regulators over warmth claims
"The moon isn't rounder in foreign countries, and foreign down jackets aren't any warmer either".
That's what the Beijing-based Economic Times claimed earlier this month in support of a fine of Rmb450,000 ($69,621) for parka maker Canada Goose for false advertising. The advertising that was penalised was the assertion that Canada Goose's jackets "contain the finest and warmest Hutterite down".
Shanghai's market regulators took the view that this claim – made on the brand's Tmall shop – was misleading because the provenance of the down alone is not an indicator of quality.
Hutterites are Anabaptist communities living on the Canadian central prairies. They reside in self-sufficient homesteads which are largely agricultural in nature. One of their most prized products is the finest feathers from the ducks and geese that roam the communities, typically growing to full size and often producing a longer, fluffier feather.
The authorities in Shanghai argue that just because some of the down in the Canada Goose jackets is Hutterite in origin, the company cannot guarantee the highest degree of "fill power" or the claims of the "warmest" fit that is made in the advertisements.
The company's returns policy for faulty goods was also deemed to have violated Chinese law by tipping the balance too much in the company's favour in the final decision on refunds, the Shanghai authorities said.
Despite the release of a detailed regulatory document in conjunction with the decision, international commentators have taken the view that the fine is politically-motivated. The context here is the long-running row over the arrest and subsequent extradition battle over Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou (see WiC435). The US wants to extradite Meng to New York, where she faces fraud charges.
Two Canadian citizens – Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor – were detained in China in December 2018, only a few days after Meng was arrested. Both were later accused of spying and Spavor was sentenced last month to 11 years in prison.
Chinese displeasure at Meng's detention has triggered other responses. A ban on imports of Canadian canola seeds is widely believed to be another act of retaliation, while the case has also triggered calls from consumers to boycott purchases of Canada Goose apparel, forcing the company to delay the opening of its flagship store in Beijing.
Yet the Rmb450,000 fine could be part of another dynamic: a growing faith in domestic brands and a patriotic rejection of foreign labels (see our story on Erke in WiC552).
The movement sometimes known as 'national hip' or guochao, has led domestic shoppers to ditch overseas brands perceived to be critical of the Chinese government. Another target are companies perceived to grant Chinese consumers fewer rights or a lower standard of service than customers in other countries.
It is also true that the quality of Chinese branded goods has improved substantially in recent years – making it easier to swap more expensive foreign products for homegrown alternatives.
The shift away from international smartphone brands to domestic handsets made by the likes of Huawei and Xiaomi are good examples of this trend. Some young Chinese have also taken to calling out peers that still buy foreign brands rather than local ones. Similarly, companies in the entertainment sector have been taking a more patriotic line, responding to cues from state regulators to hire pro-China stars for TV series and films.
Hong Kong-born actor Nicholas Tse said this month that he was in the process of giving up his Canadian passport, although he did not confirm whether he had been asked directly to do so. "Whether it is food or music or action movies, no matter what kind of content or identity, I have always wanted to spread Chinese culture and spirit to the world," he told state television in an effusive message .
In July Chen Feiyu, another actor, announced he too had renounced his US citizenship, saying he wanted to contribute to a "great motherland". Other celebrities affected by the 'second passport' conundrum are thought to include: Jet Li, Zhang Tielin, Crystal Liu, Will Pan, Wang Lee-hom and Mark Chao.

Know how to choose a Panini grill. A good Panini grill should be non-stick and coated for easier clean-ups; hinged so that it could correspond to the size of the sandwich that you are making; and appropriately-sized depending on your needs. It should also have a kind of timer or alarm mechanism that will let you know if the Panini is cooked and ready to eat.
Choose the ingredients you will use. To make a Panini, you should use the following: rustic bread (stiff or crusty bread such as sourdough, wholegrain, Ciabatta, or any other dense bread); melted butter or margarine, or olive oil or canola oil; cheese (the best kinds for a Panini include Havarti cheese, mozzarella, Swiss or cheddar); the meat of your choice (chicken, pork, turkey, among others); the vegetables of your choice (spinach, lettuce, green pepper, mushroom); and any other add-on that you might want (mayonnaise, onions, basil, etc). Do make sure that you don't put too many ingredients in your Panini, though; too many ingredients may result in a Panini that is overcooked on the outside and undercooked in the inside.
If you want to incorporate more fillings, dressings or sauces in your Panini, just make sure that you use denser types of bread – this will help you avoid a soggy sandwich.
Put together your sandwich. Make sure that you cook the meat first before you put it in the sandwich. Some of the recommended Panini ingredients you could put together include the following: Havarti cheese, spinach and chicken; grilled pork sausage, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise; and tuna, tomato, mayonnaise and lettuce. For vegetarian options, you could try out the following: cream cheese and spinach; and tomato, mozzarella and basil.
Brush some olive oil, margarine or melted butter on the outside of the sandwich. This will help make your Panini crispy and crunchy.
Prepare the Panini grill. Preheat the Panini grill for a few minutes (wait until the timer goes off to indicate that it's adequately heated). Once it's heated, place the Panini inside the grill and close the latch. Thin slices of Panini are usually ready after about three to four minutes per side; thicker slices can be ready after 6 minutes per side. Make sure that you know whether your Panini grill requires you to flip the sandwich for both sides to be cooked; if you have bought a model that will grill both sides at the same time, you should adjust the time necessary to cook the Panini.
There you have it! These are some of the guidelines for using a Panini grill. Experiment with different combinations of ingredients that you want; just be sure to include cheese in the sandwich so that the bread slices will stick to each other better.


It would be unfair to refer to Valtra as 'oddball', but being a little different from the rest is one of its many virtues, according to Shane O'Connor of O'Connor's Tractors, Knocknagoshel, Co. Kerry.
Genuine enthusiasm for the product being sold is also a virtue – and O'Connor is hardly short of that as he expands upon his belief in the marque.
Shane now runs the family-owned dealership, which was established by his father in 1964. In those early years, the business revolved solely around importing tractors from the UK. This aspect is still a major part of its operation; he continues to buy tractors from the same dealers in England that O'Connor senior established links with over 50 years ago.
The firm does this with a staff of five in the spares department and workshop, including his wife – Joanne – who is also active in the business.
He is also keen to include Valtra in this chain of confidence – from manufacturer to end-user. It is obvious when talking to Shane that he enjoys a warm relationship with the Finnish company. Its marketing support resulted in two tractor sales to two new customers at the Ploughing, where he was present on the company's stand throughout.
Somewhat surprisingly, he also points out that being able to choose the colour of the tractor is often a big deal for buyers.
He has been caught out before in having exactly the right tractor for a customer, but in the wrong colour!
Thankfully, the customer was prepared to wait the extra few weeks for another to be finished and brought over to Ireland.
Besides the greater scope to customise a Valtra, the Aries (front axle) suspension system and Sisu engines are big selling points. It will not be long before we see the 200hp, four-cylinder Sisu engine used by Massey Ferguson in a Valtra, he believes.
The company's forerunner – Valmet – was the first to offer a 100hp, four-pot engine in a tractor; it also pioneered the concept of 'power boost' – both innovations being used by its sister AGCO company, Massey Ferguson, to claim the latest landmark in power density.
Presently, it is the 150hp N154 which is proving particularly popular in his area. The increase in demand for power is being driven not by any part of the silage operation, as one might expect, but by slurry handling.
Farmers are buying larger tankers to enable quicker application. Agitators are power-hungry beasts that will take whatever a tractor can throw at them, and still want for more.
The desire for bigger tractors is also a reflection of farmers hedging their bets and planning for the future. Shane notes that they are better qualified than ever before and are doing their homework before ringing round the dealers.
It's a development he welcomes with the emphatic observation that "Valtra may not be the cheapest, but it does deliver".
Away from new tractor sales, the firm holds several franchises for machinery. The three big ones are Amazone, Krone and Redrock – with each tending to follow its own trend.
The 'bread and butter' Amazone products are fertiliser spreaders in the 1-1.5t range, supplied in their basic form without the electronics that Amazone insists that every farmer should have.
Such niceties, Shane feels, are the preserve of sophisticated tillage farmers rather than those on more modest acreages found in his locality.
Krone mowers are another strong seller for him, especially mounted units which are enjoying something of a resurgence now that tractors are bigger and can cope with carrying the wider models.
Trailed types are falling out of use – in favour of a front and single side-mounted set-up that can be easily navigated down narrow lanes and into yards. Mowers have undergone something of a design revolution, says Shane; they are "vastly superior to the machines of 10 years ago".
To meet the demand for slurry equipment, Shane carries the Redrock range of tankers and agitators. He says that they have a solidity that farmers appreciate; he gets very few complaints from users.
A small but noticeable increase in construction activity has also bumped up demand for dump trailers; he has been happy to supply several from the northern company to local builders.
Despite Shane's understandable enthusiasm for selling new tractors, a large part of him still relishes dealing in second-hand machines.
Regular forays abroad see him return with a mixed bag of goodies; one half of the yard is devoted to non-Nordic tractors, which may or may not find their way onto local farms. Some are actually exported again.
Used Valtras are also brought in to support his new machine sales. With a grin, he tells me that he has even sold a few back to Finland over the years.
As to what the future holds, he can see farmers wanting modern machinery rather than keeping old equipment – struggling on through the years. He also draws a distinct line between modern – as in up-to-date – and electronic which, he only went as far to admit, might appeal to some of the younger generation.
Indeed, the fact that Valtra had won a 'Tractor of the Year' award for its so-called SmartTouch technology appeared to be of very little consequence to him – out here in the south-west of Ireland.
With the bright lights of Agritechnica not yet a month passed, the gulf between the polished assurances of global digitalisation heard in Hannover and the hard-nosed reality of life on an Irish dairy farm could hardly be wider.
Shane knows where the market is and that is where he operates – no doubt to the dismay of the 'digital' engineers and their laptops.

Q: Compare maximum value when all values are NULL CREATE TABLE NULLTEST(TransactioNo INT, Code VARCHAR(25));

INSERT INTO NULLTEST VALUES (NULL, 'TEST1');
INSERT INTO NULLTEST VALUES (NULL, 'TEST2');
INSERT INTO NULLTEST VALUES (1,    'TEST2');

SELECT * FROM NULLTEST T
WHERE ISNULL(TransactioNo, 1) = (SELECT MAX(ISNULL(TransactioNo, 1)) FROM NULLTEST N)

I have this table structure and sample data along with the query.
I am expecting 2 rows in result set. It should take NULL as maximum if there is no Transaction No present other than NULL for that specific code.
In my case it is either giving all 3 rows on only with max transaction no ignoring the NULL valued rows.
Expected Output:
TransactionNo  Code
NULL           TEST1
1              TEST2

A: Your query is like:
SELECT * FROM NULLTEST T
WHERE 1=1

And This means everything
ISNULL(TransactioNo, 1) is always 1 and
(SELECT MAX(ISNULL(TransactioNo, 1)) FROM NULLTEST N) is always 1 too
Edit after seen your expected output: (still no need the where statement)
SELECT TransactioNo ,max(Code ) as Code
FROM NULLTEST
group by TransactioNo

A: You can simply use MAX() function along with GROUP BY clause
Query after Group by and MAX():
SELECT Code,MAX(TransactioNo) as TransactioNo
FROM NULLTEST
GROUP BY Code

Result:
---------------------
Code    TransactioNo
---------------------
TEST1     NULL
TEST2      1
---------------------

A: Try Below, Use of aggregate function MAX
SELECT Code,MAX(TransactioNo) as TransactioNo
FROM NULLTEST T
GROUP BY Code

A: Just group by Code field and then get maximum value of grouped columns through MAX function by TransactioNo field:
SELECT
  MAX( test.TransactioNo) TransactionNo
, test.Code
FROM NULLTEST test
GROUP BY test.Code

A: if you not satisfied, you can omit the ids whose value is null, you may see the following snippet:
select max(id) from nullest where id is not null;
 -- nullest is the table name..

We can honor veterans by using freedoms carefully
November 06, 2019 at 5:00 am | By CAROL SHIRK KNAPP Contributing writer
Veteran's Day brings images of freedom — and thoughts of the people who in some way have made our freedom possible — in the United States and in support of freedom around the world. I can't fully appreciate what servicemen and women have done — and continue to do — on my behalf. To really know you'd have to be physically where they are, with their families when they are away or return permanently changed, in the hospitals where they battle to recover from injuries, or in the cemeteries where they lie. You'd have to even see inside their memories.
The best way I can respect veterans — and honor their service — is to handle my freedoms carefully.
One freedom protected for me by military service members is freedom to follow the faith of my choice. For me this is Christianity — which teaches one God in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Followers of Christ believe that Jesus, the Son, emptied Himself of His fullness within the Trinity to take on humanity. Why? To explain God in a way humankind could understand. To live a life without sin — a life of love and humility and serving others — and offer on the cross His unblemished life as a covering for my imperfect one.
This came to me in a meaningful way a few years ago during a communion service in a little church in Priest River — as we remembered the broken body and shed blood of Jesus in the bread and juice. I felt adrift in memories of grievous wrongs I'd committed. "What do I do with these memories?" I asked silently. "They are a part of me."
In answer I heard, "When I forgive you, when I make clean, that is all of you. Including your memories." An immense freedom swept through me. Shame and guilt vanished. There was no more hiding from God, myself, or others.
The sacrifice of Jesus is not the end of the story. The Bible proclaims His power to lay His life down, and take it up again. A resurrected Savior able to gift me with life unending.
The freedom to have a Bible, to receive this life-changing story, comes directly from service members who over the years have stood for religious freedom.
I won't meet most of them. But I can surely reach for — and cherish — the unsurpassed freedoms they protect.

Monkey island: A free-ranging colony of hundreds of monkeys offers autism researchers a way to link complex social behaviors to genetics.
On an island off the coast of Puerto Rico, about 1,500 monkeys roam and breed freely, undisturbed by the few scientists observing them at a distance. This natural colony affords researchers a rare opportunity to trace how genetic variation affects complex social behaviors in the wild.
What they have found so far suggests that roughly one-sixth of the monkeys in the colony carry a variant in SHANK3, a top autism gene candidate that is mutated in about 1 percent of people with autism. The monkeys with the variant are more likely than others to mingle with different social groups that don't usually intersect. Researchers presented the preliminary results yesterday at the 2015 Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in Chicago.
"With lab models, you can do great genetic manipulation, but you're working with mice and flies, whose social lives are not like humans," says Seth Madlon-Kay, a graduate student in Michael Platt's lab at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, who presented the findings.
The researchers have sequenced the genomes of some of the monkeys, and are working to sequence the rest. To link genetics to behavior, they are collecting detailed information on each monkey by observing a single animal for 10 minutes at a stretch. The scientists record behaviors from grunts to mating and note which monkeys interact with which other ones.
The researchers are also designing quicker experiments, such as documenting a monkey's reaction when a scientist jumps out of a bush holding a picture of another monkey. This may sound "kooky," says lead investigator Platt, but the goal is to compare the results of experiments that can be done in the laboratory with the wealth of natural data the researchers have for each animal.
SHANK3 codes for a protein that helps bolster synapses, the connections between neurons. Deletion of a larger region that includes SHANK3 leads to Phelan-McDermid syndrome, a severe developmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability and seizures.
For the study, the researchers sequenced one segment of the SHANK3 gene, called exon21, the landing site for many of the mutations seen in people with autism.
Of 240 monkeys for which they have sequence information, 200 carry the sequence most commonly seen in people and in mice. Another 40 have a variant that alters one amino acid in the corresponding protein, which computer algorithms predict would harm the protein's structure. Researchers have not seen this variant in people.
All 40 of the monkeys carry the mutation on only one chromosome. Also, the variant is spread evenly among the groups of monkeys on the island, suggesting that it does not confer any particular survival advantage or disadvantage.
So far the monkeys with the variant have higher 'betweenness' scores than those with normal SHANK3, suggesting that they socialize with monkeys that don't know each other.
"It's in the opposite direction than you might expect intuitively. In humans if this variant was causing autism-like effects, you might expect less sociality," says Madlon-Kay.
The explanation may lie in the monkey variant itself. Unlike mutations seen in people, which mostly destroy the SHANK3 protein's activity, this variant might boost SHANK3's activity, says Martien Kas, associate professor of translational research at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, who was not involved in the study.
Mutations that lead to severe effects like those seen in people would be unlikely to be present in the "highly competitive" monkey social groups, says Madlon-Kay. "Because it's a natural population, the animals live and die on their own merits. Any monkey with a super-high-impact mutation is probably going to die," he says.
But researchers can track the effects of mild variants that may lead to subtle changes in social behavior. They can also investigate the collective effects of more than one variant.

For almost a decade, American Muslims have seen a growing debate among Muslim communities about the radicalization of Muslims in America and how to combat it.
American Islamists groups (CAIR, MPAC, MAS and ISNA, to name a few) hatched from the ideology of the global Muslim Brotherhood and their being given a disproportionate amount of media attention and resources in the U.S. presented their best face of blanket denials and smoothly avoided any acknowledgement of a problem.
For eight years since 9/11 American Islamist groups have refused to acknowledge the fact that salafism, Islamism, and other ideologies directly contributed to that radicalization. This year, actually just last week, after an ever increasing string of homegrown Muslim terrorists, and after CAIR was banned from the FBI, the denial finally gave way to a long overdue admission of a problem. Yet, their admission had no analysis whatsoever of the real root cause of Muslim radicalization – political Islam and salafism.
Since its inception in 2003, the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) has been publicly waging a contest of ideas with many of those Islamist organizations that the ideology of Political Islam is at the root of the cancer that threatens American security and the faith of American Muslims. AIFD has long believed that Islamism is the root cause of Muslim radicalization in the U.S. and around the world.
"The Muslim community has taken the lead in bringing this case to the attention of law enforcement authorities and will offer ongoing cooperation with the FBI as the investigation moves forward."
"We also as a community realize and recognize that there is a problem. This problem we believe it is not wide spread, but we as a community, we acknowledge that there is a problem, and we are going to deal with it effectively. We are going to launch a major campaign of education to refute the misuse of versus in the Koran or the misuse of certain grievances in the Muslim world."
"Any radicalization that exists is a major problem that we must – and are – addressing head on. This case underscores not only the importance of strong relations between the Muslim American community and law enforcement, but also the grave need for educational programs to prevent extremism within our community."
This news follows a number of troubling cases related to Muslim Americans, including the disappearance of five young Somali men from Minnesota who later turned up in Somalia to fight alongside Al-Shabab, the horrific shooting rampage at Ft. Hood, and the arrests of three men in Illinois, Colorado and Texas on unrelated terror plot charges."
This is an important change in the rhetoric of CAIR and MPAC. The optimist in me would like to believe that AIFD's efforts and that of other vocal anti-Islamist Muslims and non-Muslims have forced these organizations to admit that there is an ideological problem in many of our communities. As with alcoholics and drug addicts, admitting that there is a problem is the first step down the path of recovery and reformation.
But the cynic and realist in me sees these announcements for what they are: recognition by these groups that their post 9/11 apologetic messaging is not resonating with the general public. To solve the problem, they adapted their messages to co-opt the rhetoric of curbing radicalization.
Just last month, both of these groups were out front in their efforts to decouple faith from the obvious Islamist radicalization of Maj. Nidal Hasan, the perpetrator of the Fort Hood massacre.
In October they both were also quick to defame the FBI in the shooting death of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah of Detroit, who openly called for an establishment of an Islamic State and opened fire on agents who were coming to arrest him under criminal charges.
While the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Reuters trip over themselves to quote Mr. Awad and CAIR, who made themselves into the news of the case of the radicalization of these five men, none seem to be asking them the question that needs to be asked: What will be the structure and substance of your anti-radicalization education campaign and will you confront, renounce, and reform the ideology of Political Islam?
"The study of violent extremism, however, should decouple religion from terror to safeguard civil liberties on free speech and equal protection grounds as a matter of strong public policy."
If the root cause of Muslim radicalization is Islamism (political Islam), what good is any effort at counterterrorism that decouples the religion from terror?
How can law enforcement effectively counter terrorism in our country without recognition that Political Islam and its narrative is the core ideology when, at its extreme, drives the general mindset of the extremists carrying out the attacks?
When we were fighting communism in the Cold War, we generally understood that, violent or non-violent, those who advocated the communist ideology were part of the problem and not part of the solution whether they were strident Soviets or just idealistic non-violent Marxists.
The distinction mattered little and certainly our counterintelligence experts were not using the non-violent Marxists as experts on how to defeat the Soviets.

Suchoi Su-22 is a fighter-bomber plane, although according to pilots it is a bomber plane. Its task is to support land units, bombardments of objects and destroy strategic ground targets. The Su-22 hunting options are marginal and limited to defense. The Su-22 M 4 K airplane is derived from the Su-17 aircraft structure and is a modified version, both in terms of design and electronic equipment. Su-22 M 4 K transports only up to 4 360 kg of combat assets, but their range is large.
The purchase of Suchoi Su-22 aircraft was the most correct, because this aircraft was a continuation of the development line of Suchoi's Su-7 B, Su-20 aircraft. At that time, CCCP still had MiG-23 MB, MiG-27, Su-24 aircraft on offer, but these planes did not suit the Polish Army.
Suchoi Su-22 M aircraft have been in operation in Poland since 1985. Poland had 90 copies of Su-22 M 4 K and 20 copies of Su-22 UM 3 K. Officially, Poland purchased 110 Su-22 aircraft (90 one-seater and 20 two-seater). Unless there is a problem with the two-seat version, there are some inaccuracies with the one-seat version. Detailed analysis shows that 100 Su-22 M 4 K aircraft were exploited in Poland. This apparent inaccuracy results from the fact that in the first years of operation, aircraft were renovated in CCCP. Because there were serious airframe failures, or systems installed in them, another copy was delivered to Poland.
These airplanes were based at the following airports: Powidz, Piła, Mirosławiec and Świdwin. Since 2010, all airplanes remaining in operation have been placed at the Świdwin airport.
The Su-22 aircraft in relation to other combat aircraft used in Poland were not more emergency and the number of accidents was similar. The list of accidents is in an earlier article. In 2015, Su-22 aircraft should be withdrawn from service.
In 2012, WZL in Bydgoszcz presented a modified version of the Su-22 aircraft intended for the Navy aviation. The presented plane was a copy of Su-22 M 4 K nb 9305. The aircraft received equipment necessary for flights by the sea and counteracting surface targets. In addition, the plane received a new camouflage composed of two shades of gray. The Polish Army did not express interest in the proposal. At that time, Poland had an excess of Su-22 aircraft, which were stored, mainly in Świdwin.
In the years 2015-2018, Su-22 aircraft should be withdrawn from service. However, in February 2014, the head of the Defense Ministry Tomasz Siemoniak decided to keep them on a 40th ELT, 21st Air Base in Świdwin. It was decided to renovate them, which allowed them to remain in service for the next 3-10 years. Modernization covered 6 aircraft in the Su-22 UM 3 K and 12 Su-22 M 4 K. Airplanes were subjected to preliminary verification, and then they were directed to Bydgoszcz. Airplanes received new radio stations, onboard instruments in Anglo-Saxon units, aggregates were repaired or replaced. At the same time, the planes received a new camouflage, the so-called pigeon. The first Su-22 M 4 K nb 8205 aircraft was handed over to the army in May 2015. The restoration of the remaining aircraft lasted until the end of 2016.
List of modernized aircraft:
Su-22 UM 3 K nb 308, 310, 508, 509, 706, 707.
Su-22 M 4 K nb 8205 (modernized first), 3201, 3304, 3612, 3706, 3713, 3715, 3920, 7410, 8101, 8309, 8920.
On 2019-06-07 there was a failure of the RD-21 engine of one of the Su-22 aircraft. During the flight the engine stopped working. The pilot managed to re-launch it and land safely. This event resulted in the suspension of flights of all Su-22 aircraft. This fact was reported by Colonel Maciej Trelki, the commander of the 1st Wing of the Tactical Air Force.
The extinction of the engine in flight on the Sukhoi family aircraft is not an unusual event. Various procedures are provided for such an event. It all depends on the ceiling and the speed of the plane. Because the pilot has started the engine, we can conclude that he has kept all the procedures. After such an incident, the task is interrupted and returns to the airport. If possible, it is your own airport. The pilot showed professionalism and deserved the prize. In mid-July 2019, Su-22 planes returned to service.

Beach Boys, The
The Beach Boys are an American rock band formed in Hawthorne, California in 1961. The group's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and their friend Al Jardine. They emerged at the vanguard of the "California Sound", initially performing original surf songs that gained international popularity for their distinct vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a southern California youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance. Rooted in jazz-based vocal groups, 1950s rock and roll, and doo-wop, Brian led the band in devising novel approaches to music production, arranging his compositions for studio orchestras, and experimenting with several genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic and baroque.

I've been working away the last few weeks on a new web service SOA testing tool. However, today I decided to take a break and see what else is happening in the world. One of the things I played with today is Google Calendar. It's pretty cool and I think I will try it out for the next few weeks.
Google Calendar got me thinking about synchronizing my calendar, which is currently stored in Outlook, with Google Calendar. This lead me to the Google API at http://code.google.com/. The API uses REST principals with Atom and RSS feeds. Now I have even more fun things to play with.


Throughout the UK, Europe and the Near East many St. John's-wort species grow both in the wild and as cultivated plants in gardens. One of the most beautiful of the European species that grows in the wild is Hypericum olympicum which has very large flowers measuring up to 5.5 cm in diameter.
Hypericum calycinum, more commonly known to us as Rose of Sharon, originates in the Near East, and has even larger flowers - around 7 cm in diameter - and this is the species most familiar to us from gardens and parks throughout the UK. It is an agressive shrub which has become widely naturalised in the countryside, and can often be seen on roadside banks and verges, and also along railway lines.
Other species from the UK include Trailing St. John's-wort (Hypericum humifusum), Marsh St. John's-wort (Hypericum elodes), Slender St. John's-wort (Hypericum pulchrum) and Perforate St. John's-wort (Hypericum perforatum). The so-called perforations which give the latter species its name refer to translucent dots on the leaves of the plant which look like holes when held up to the light. These perforations are, in fact, resin glands which exude the somewhat unpleasant smell which is associated with members of the Clusiaceae family.
St John's-wort blooms in summer and early autumn, and in the countryside can generally be found in hedgerows or on rough grassland that is moderately well shaded. The flowers are guaranteed to be at their peak around Midsummer Day and have a long and ancient history associated with various festivals and processions that have taken place (and still do in some European countries) around this time of the year. The Feast of St. John the Baptist takes place around the same time - 24th June - and from this the plant derives the common name used today, and which superseded other names given to the plant in ancient times when it was used in Pagan rituals at mid-summer.

Security Risks in the Supply Chain
While the use of IoT technology enables retailers to better track their products from production through delivery in the supply chain, it also introduces a variety of security and data risks.
Supply Chain Security Risk: Lack of Encryption
Because this is highly sensitive data, it can be a big target. Most companies don't have the time and resources to properly secure it, while making sure their business users have the tools they need to be successful, explains Brady Cale, VP of Engineering at Taulia. "Companies shouldn't feel the need to take on all the responsibility for protecting against this on their own, but rather partner with organizations that are employing the top standards to keep their data safe and secure at all times," he says. "At Taulia, we do this by encrypting all data to the latest standards (AES 256) at rest and in transit. We have user-level authentication/access controls and functionality to ensure the user can only see information that is within their scope."
The use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies enables retailers and manufacturers to better track their products from the beginning of the manufacturing process at their source vendors all the way through delivery to the end customers. It can alert the retailer and manufacturer of discrepancies as they happen, saving them from discovery by the retailer or customer after delivery, says Dan Mitchell, director of the Global Retail Practice at SAS.
There's no doubt that the IoT has had a profound effect on the supply chain, adds David Hood, director, Technology Marketing, with Mimecast, as the ability to harness data points and apply Big Data technologies makes companies far more responsive and adaptable to shifting demand. "Collaboration inter-company has never been easier with platforms that promote sharing information, documents and key data. The challenge is doing so while still being cognizant of the security and data risks that exist."

Platinum prices slipped further last week losing some 5% of its value and dropping to a fresh three-month low below $915 an ounce. Over the past three months, other industrial metals have also struggled with copper off by nearly 6%, aluminum down 12%, lead lower by 8% and palladium by 17%.
The failure of gold to mount a convincing rally back to January highs weighs further on the platinum price, which has declined to a record $425 discount. In contrast, the metal has reached parity once again with palladium, not on the strength of platinum but rather on additional weakness in palladium.

Judy Price: Within this narrow strip of land

Share Exhibition: Judy Price: Within this narrow strip of land in London, United Kingdom
Within this narrow strip of land is a video and sound installation by Judy Price. A number of video works are presented from her lengthy research in Israel and Palestine. The new works explore ways in which communities and individuals are framed and incited by the irreversibility of loss in Israel and Palestine. Price is interested in how power manipulates loss for its own end and decides whose loss is valid, how it is negotiated and from what perspective loss is seen and acted on. The film material has been shot in a number of locations in Israel and the Palestinian territories, including a vestige of the British, St John's Eye Hospital in East Jerusalem. St. John's Eye Hospital, a charitable foundation founded in 1882 by the British is located in East Jerusalem and serves the predominantly Arab populations of the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalemites irrespective of their ability to pay. In The Refrain, a double screen video projection with sound, St John's Eye Hospital is employed as a powerful metaphor for transformation and visibility, the process of healing of damaged sight, sight damaged by the 'other'. The iris is a mirror, barrier or reflection in which images, actions and events are inscribed with or without the subject's will. Filmed through objects, glass or medical tools The Refrain shows partial visibility of this environment. For The Refrain Judy Price has commissioned the Norwegian sound artist Maia Urstad to construct a sound piece incorporating ambient sounds from the eye hospital within an abstract composition. A number of small vignettes from different locations in Israel and the Palestine, like moving stills are placed around the gallery. Caught moments with partial visibility her videos often depict a landscape framed by an elevated and suspended viewpoint, as a way of rearticulating the significance of territory in this disputed land. For example, in Time Line, a film of a cable car over Jericho offers both a privileged view of the town at the same time it alludes to an ambiguous state of suspension and destabilised vision. The diversity of Price's images, which encompass archival material, the observation of unexpected events caught in passing or the focused long term study of a resonant place address a situation overwhelming in its complexity. However, within this we are offered moments of epiphany, tentative celebrations of possible freedom and humanity which again challenge the stereotypes of Israeli and Palestinian with which the West is most familiar. In Saffron of Jerusalem a butterfly dances on a Jerusalem rooftop or a boisterous stag night is observed at the Dead Sea beach, in Light Drinks the Dark. As the viewer moves between the illuminated screens and projections, their passing recalls the crossing of conflicted borders and territories, which have come to define the experience of space and movement between Israel and Palestine. Within the images themselves, further displacements are orchestrated through the slippage between sound and image in the auditory blur between video screens. From the 9 to 29 June, in parallel to this exhibition there will also be a number of screenings at the Imperial War Museum of archival films from the British Mandate in Palestine (1917-1948). As part of this programme Reel will be screened, a video piece by Judy Price using archival material from the British Mandate period, courtesy of the Imperial War Museum. In Reel Price selected the disrupted residues of film — the lead-ins and endings of film stock. The scuffing and scratching from handling film material, black cue dots, overexposing at the end of the reel, numbering or logging marks evoke all that is not seen in the documentation of history. The images have been put to a piece of music called Kaene byr til engli composed by Johann Johannsson. The music brings to the images an intensity and spiritual dimension revealing the sensual and sublime that is found in the spaces disregarded by the more declarative ways of making sense of the world.

Lily The Pink, the Aintree Iron, Scaffold, GRIMMS, The Mersey Sound with Adrian Henri & Brian Patten, Molière adaptations for English Touring Theatre and the long-running Poetry Please.

Plus a host of country-wide dates with The Bootleg Beatles and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in It Was Fifty Years Ago Today which sold out the Royal Albert Hall in hours. Roger's significant birthday year saw the publication of 80 - a selection of poems for children (Puffin). And a new album The Likes of Us with LiTTLe MACHiNe.
Little Machine are the musicians, composers, and writers Walter Wray, Steve Halliwell & Chris Hardy. They have appeared with Carol Ann Duffy, Roger McGough, Gillian Clarke, Liz Lochhead, John Cooper-Clarke, John Hegley and many others. It's poetry - but not as you've heard or seen it before.


Directions: There are three trailheads to access Fehringer Ranch; One is next to D'Eveyln Junior High School at the corner of S. Nelson Street and W. Nassau Ave off of W. Quincy Ave. The second is off of Simms Street just south of Hwy 285. The third (this description) is at the corner of W. Hampden Ave and S. Oak Street.
Fehringer Ranch is a grassland open space in Lakewood, CO. The northern section of the park is a straight-up open space and the southern section has a frisbee golf course. A loop trail follows the perimeter of the park for 2.3 miles. If you want to avoid the frisbee golf course, you can turn on a trail that bisects the park and shaves about .5 mile off of the hike. The trail is pleasant, popular with dog walkers, and has great views of the Front Range foothills.


The former Waterside Railway Station project was one of the initiatives highlighted at the Chamber of Commerce event.
Greater collaboration, skills and innovation will propel the economy to another level, the city's business community has heard.
Speaking at a Londonderry Chamber of Commerce event, deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness told guests he fully supports the work of the organisation and it is only right to celebrate the achievements of the business community in the North West.
He said the Executive is committed to strengthening the links between the public and private sector.
"As an Executive we want to grow the economy and raise prosperity for all. The tireless work of the Chamber and all the members are an important part of this programme of work," said the deputy First Minister.
He pointed to the Executive's commitment to the area through £7million support of the City of Derry Airport, prioritisation of £480million investment in A5 and A6 road schemes and the Old Waterside Station transport hub plan.
The deputy First Minister continued: "Our unemployment rate is now at its lowest level since 2008. We must not be complacent and although we have brought in more jobs than any time in our history, this Executive is committed to creating more and better jobs. As we move further into recovery, focus needs to shift to improving the productivity performance of the local economy by enhancing our skills, innovation and enterprise.
"The availability of skills and the need to ensure a steady supply of labour into key growth sectors will be vital for the local economy which makes the development of the Magee Campus of Ulster University and continued engagement by the North West Regional College with business essential.
