How to Destroy a Country and Get Off Scot-Free
By Linda Heard, sierra12th@yahoo.co.uk
18/03/08 "Arab News" Someone once told me if you're going to tell a lie make it a whopper based on the premise the more outrageous the lie the more likely it is to be believed. At the time, I wrote off his advice as hogwash but as we see from the Iraq debacle, he was right. Five years later, the deceit continues undiminished and nobody has been held to account.
Britain's Gordon Brown yesterday promised to hold an enquiry into the "mistakes" made in Iraq. Sounds good, but don't hold your breath. All previous inquiries have been labeled "whitewashes". They can't afford the truth to come out else they might get a one-way ticket to The Hague.
Ambassador David Satterfield, and adviser to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, is doing the rounds of talk shows lauding America's victories over Al-Qaeda in Iraq.
On one occasion the host interjected to mention the unpalatable fact that Al-Qaeda members only flocked to Iraq once the Americans were in place leaving Satterfield momentarily nonplussed.
It's obvious that Satterfield is so saturated in the party line he forgot the Pentagon's recently published study that found with certainty that Saddam Hussein had absolutely no links to Al-Qaeda. And lest we forget Saddam didn't have WMD either, which means not only was the war immoral the prewar sanctions on that country that contributed to the deaths of over half-a-million Iraqi children were too.
Think about it for a moment. The warmongers invaded, crushed and occupied a country that was no threat to anyone. They stood by as it was looted, exacerbated sectarianism, flattened entire towns, tortured untold numbers of innocents, brought in gum-chewing, tattooed foreign mercenaries and paid crony companies billions of dollars for mythical reconstruction projects.
They then pretended to hand over sovereignty to that country while at the same time constructing permanent bases and the biggest US Embassy in history resembling a small town. They said they had no interest in Iraq's oil, yet they are putting immense pressure on the Iraqi government (sic) to sign into law a bill that permits foreign (read American) oil companies to lock up decades-long deals. Let's be frank. Iraq wasn't a blunder, it was a crime. So how did they manage to get away with implanting their long-conceived plot to do away with Israel's No. 1 foe, ensure their competitors couldn't get their hands on Iraq's resources and entrench their military might in the region? Future historians will no doubt be scratching their heads over this one. You had to live through it to believe it.
First, they cleverly used the politics of fear to sway public opinion. As noted in the Project for the New American Century's document "Rebuilding America's Defenses", the warmonger signatories – who later became senior members of the Bush administration – needed "a new Pearl Harbor". On Sept. 1l 2001 they got it. Americans and their allies were in shock. Almost every country in the world was sympathetic and willing to do anything to help. And, boy, did they capitalize on that empathy even managing to persuade Russia to stay silent as they made deals with Caspian states to allow US bases.
Step one was a country where a giant bogeyman was supposed to be hiding out in a cave presumably equipped with a dialysis machine and a production studio and whose black-turbaned government forced women to wear a burqa and disallowed nail polish. But then Defense Minister Donald Rumsfeld was disappointed because there weren't enough targets for his bombs. It was no fun bombing a country into the Stone Age when it was already there.
Step two was the insidious demonizing of Muslims, thousands of whom were arrested and held for months without charge or access to lawyers. In that climate of fear, it was relatively simple to persuade the American people that Saddam Hussein was conniving with the people who brought down the World Trade Center. US officials warned of mushroom clouds; Prime Minister Tony Blair said British interests could be attacked within 45 minutes of Saddam giving the order. Then Secretary of State Colin Powell allowed himself to be used as their fall guy. He spouted the most unbelievable scripted codswallop the UN had ever heard…yet, bullied and bribed nation after nation pretended to believe him as IAEA chief Mohammed El-Baradei and UN weapons inspector Hans Blix did little to discredit the hoax.
Step three entailed replacing Osama in people's minds with Saddam, who overnight morphed into a hydra-headed monster whose idea of a pleasant weekend was gassing and torturing his own people.
Step four was 'Shock and Awe' which illuminated the Baghdad skyline on March 19, 2003. As their bombs and missiles rained down on crowded market places scattering limbs, they told us those bombs and missiles were Saddam's even though the Independent's Middle East correspondent inconveniently dug up their Made in the USA shards.
As the months went on, we began to wonder what happened to the WMD. They told us it was only a matter of time before it would be unearthed from under the sands or discovered in a tunnel under one of Saddam's palaces. They even suggested it may have been shipped off to a neighboring country for safekeeping!!
Step five was an orchestrated administration campaign to inject us with mass amnesia. Never mind about the weapons, they said. We are here to liberate the poor Iraqi people from their evil dictator and deliver freedom and democracy. Look, look, they said. The Iraqis have purple fingers! With up to one million dead, Iraqis are lucky they have any fingers at all.
To be fair, they couldn't have done it without the aid of a compliant, supine media, which embedded its reporters with US battalions and agreed not to show captured US soldiers, flag-draped coffins, military funerals or scenes of blood-soaked Iraqi civilians. Independent reporters who neglected to abide by the script were discredited, refused access to information and even shelled.
I still recall a live report from David Chater of Sky News, who saw the barrel of a US tank slowly turn toward the Palestine hotel – known to be a journalist's hang-out – before firing its shell killing three reporters. The Baghdad offices of Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya were also hit.
With so much information on tap I'm flabbergasted that so many people still believe the Iraq fairytale. I wish they'd get in touch with me. I've got a few pyramids and a sphinx going cheap. Sad, isn't it!

scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle, they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?" They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger. But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her." Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle. Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?" She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."
John 7 [50.] Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them, "Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"
John 7 [52.] They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."[d]
John 7 [53.] Everyone went to his own house.
John 8 [1.] but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle, they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women.[a] What then do you say about her?"
John 8 [6.] They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger. But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her." Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
John 8 [9.] They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle. Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"
John 8 [11.] She said, "No one, Lord."
Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."
John 8 [12.] Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world.[b] He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

Cheadle Primary PTA try to organise fun activities for the children in the school and at the same time raise funds to buy 'extras' for the school for the benefit of all of the children. The committee is made up of a dedicated bunch of parents and members of staff. All parents at the school are automatically members of the PTA but the level of involvement is entirely up to the individual. Help is always welcome in organising events, no matter how much time you have available to commit, or by turning up or sending your children along to enjoy themselves.
Recent events organised in the current academic year include –a coffee morning for parents, a welcome party for nursery and reception children, a disco for Key Stage 1, a fantastic Christmas Fair, a spring disco for Key Stage 2, an Easter Egg Tombola and most recently the Summer Garden Party.
Funds raised from all of these events go towards buying resources for the school. The PTA has funded interactive white boards, iPads, games to be used in golden time, new notice boards for school, coaches for the year 6 residential trip, the leavers t-shirts. The list goes on and the PTA work very closely with the Headteacher to identify how best the money might be spent.
It's not all about the money though – these events give the kids a chance to let their hair down, for parents to get to know one another and on the whole enrich the school community.
If you would like to get involved with the PTA then either email us pta@cheadleprimaryschool.co.uk or have a word with Mrs Jordan (who is currently the staff rep on the PTA) or speak to Tamsin Morris either in the playground or leave a message in the office. We also have a Cheadle Primary PTA page on facebook (which is a private group only open to Cheadle Primary parents).


Voting begins Monday, September 26, 2011 for a new Club Secretary and President. Any active member in the Garden City Duplicate Bridge Club may vote. Voting continues until the Club Board meeting starts on Friday, October 7, 2011, at which time votes will be counted by current board members.
Pick-up a ballot at the club. Vote once for Secretary and President. Once you have voted, place your ballot in the ballot box located at the club, and then print or sign your name on the sign-up sheet, also located at the club, indicating you have voted. NO PROXIES PLEASE, you must vote in person at the club before or during regular club games.

Intervju med Tuomas Holopainen i Nightwish!
Igår, fredag, hade jag nöjet att få ta ett snack med Tuomas på Warners kontor i Vasastan. Först blev det lyssning av kommande plattan "Imaginaerum", som låter väldigt mycket som ett soundtrack, vilket det också är.
Jag hann även snacka lite kort med Anette Olzon om våra hemtrakter. Anette är ju som bekant från Helsingborg och själv är jag uppväxt i närliggande Ängelholm. Det visade sig att Anette i tidiga år deltagit i samma talangtävlingar som Jill Johnson och My Blomqvist, två välkända och på 80- och 90-talet, konkurrerande sångerskor i Ängelholm och precis som jag och många andra, hade hon då trott att My skulle bli den stora stjärnan, men så blev det ju inte.
Nåväl, Tuomas var återigen mycket trevlig och sade sig inte ha några som helst problem med att under en hel dag sitta och svara på frågor, vilket han gjort denna dag.
Samtalet kom givetvis att handla mest om nya plattan och filmen.
First off! If I´m not mistaken it´s been four years since your last album?
Tuomas Holopainen: Yeah, it was since September in 2007.
Right, so it´s getting close to the style of Def Leppard!
TH: (laughs) Even Guns N´Roses! (laughs)
What´s the reason for it taken so long? Was it that you just took a break or was it a difficult album to make?
TH: Basically for two reasons. The first one is that we had a two year tour after "Dark passion play" and I´m just the kind of personality that cannot do two things at the same time. I guess I´m a typical male, (laughs) when it comes to stuff like that. When I´m on tour I can´t do songs. I can gather ideas here and there, but the actual songwriting doesn´t suit me if I have in the back of my mind that I have to go out on tour in a week, so we had to wait two years and then start the actual songwriting process and at the moment we have this movie project going on and it took a lot of effort to get the financing for that figured out, so this is basically why it took so long.
When it comes to recording an album, the sequence in the way you record the songs, is the first song you record the first one on the album or is it just random?
TH: No, it´s whatever. The way we work is that I always do this rehearsal tape for the whole band. All the songs that I´ve done, as professionally as I can because the music that we do is really, really complex and when you try telling the guys and the girl what the song is gonna sound like in the rehearsal room… you know, "Play this riff and there´s gonna be horns and choirs!", it just doesn´t do the trick. Nobody has that imagination, so that´s why I do it like that when we start rehearsing. Then we rehearse the songs with the band and do a demo and then after the second demo, we start doing it.
The way the songs end up on the album, the order of them, do you have that long before you start recording them?
TH: Oh yeah! Especially for "Imaginaerum". Before we even started rehearsing the songs , I knew the order of the songs for the album, because the movie is so heavily based on the album, that we needed to know the order of the songs and that was quite a challenge actually, to make the drama work even though we didn´t know how they would end up sounding.
What came first? Did the movie idea come first or the album?
TH: The movie idea came first. It was the very first thing that came into my mind. It was the summer of 2007 and we had just finished "dark passion play" and I started to think "What´s gonna be next?". This is so insanely diverse and big that we need to come up with something original for the next album and it just occurred to me that we have always been on the cinematic side with things so why not put it into realization and do an actual movie and make a soundtrack based on the movie? That´s how the original idea was born.
Cool! I´ve only heard it just now, but for me it is a bit more theatrical sound wise and there´s songs that are quite diverse and I wrote down that "Slow love slow" has a bit of a jazzy feeling to it and then "Turn loose the mermaids" has a bit of a Western feel to it…
TH: Yeah, Ennio Morricone!
Exactly! And then you have "Rest calm" with some pretty heavy riffing at the beginning and then it kind of mellows out and the riff came back.
TH: I like to think of it as a free and twisted and warm album. There´s a lot of light at the end of the tunnel on this album, unlike "Dark passion play". But it´s also really weird and twisted. This is because all of the songs were made for the movie and there´s a scene in the movie that takes place in a jazz club, like a 30´s jazz club and some weird stuff is going on there so I just thought, "Ok, this needs to be something like David Lynch and 'Twin peaks'! Ok, we´ve never done a jazz song so let´s try it!". (laughs) And there´s a scene in the movie which happens in a ghost circus where everything is really weird. It´s like a nightmare of this little kid, so… "A circus, ok!". (Tuomas starts singing something similar to circus music and claps on his knees. Editor´s note) That´s why the songs sound what they sound like. They were made for certain scenes.
Did you write the script as well?
TH: I had the original ideas of the scenes, but we actually had to hire a professional screenwriter, because I have no idea of how to write a script, I just had the idea and the story. A guy called Mikko Rautalathi who did the transcript.
Is it different making a movie than an album or is it kind of the same?
TH: It´s kind of like creating emotions and visions out of nothing, so there are a lot of similarities, but it´s even a bigger hassle. We were two weeks in Montreal shooting the movie, just about a month ago, so it´s all filmed now. We just got a glimpse of what making a movie is about. It was an unbelievably interesting experience!
Well, you read about movies that sometimes the shoot the last scenes first…
TH: That´s what they did now! Everything was scheduled to the minute. "This scene requires these actors and they will be picked up at this hotel, by this driver at this hour and get make up by these two hairstylists and these makeup artists.". It´s an unbelievable puzzle and I don´t know who handles it all, but everything worked and everything was on schedule and within budget, but just the whole hassle of everything, so interesting. And just really long days. We had to be there at six o´clock for makeup and then the acting started and they were building sets all the time.
Sounds like a lot of people were involved?
TH: There was like 40 people all the time. One guy just building the props. The director says "We need a compass that spins all the time and we need it in about four hours for the scene. Can you do it?". So the guy just went and made one and came back, "Is this good?". "Yeah, it´s good but just make it a bit more brown!". And there was just one guy working the smoke machine all the time. That´s all he ever did. There were two guys who just drove the band and that´s all they did. People Just had their things that they were doing. They were proud of it and they did it perfectly and that´s why everything worked. I was just standing in the corner, "Four years ago I had an idea! Fuck! I never ever thought it would come to this.".
That´s gotta be pretty cool, to see it come to life, so to speak? To have an idea and then see it come to life in front of you?
TH: It was one of the most emotional moments in my life, because to be honest, getting the finance for this movie and getting it altogether, getting people convinced, was harder than anything I´ve ever done. Especially the finance . At one point everybody almost gave up . I had to go to the band and sell my house, almost. I wanted to do this movie and if it came to selling my house, I would do that. A lot of drama involved. Finally we got the financing and we got the production and we were there doing it and it happened. It was just "Wow!". Then it turned into melancholy. We actually got this done and so, "Now what?".
Well, that figures!
TH: The journey´s always more rewarding than the destination.
Probably! Are you guys doing any acting as well?
TH: Not really and that was something that I emphasized to the director and the screenwriter from the very beginning, "Don´t put us there!". This is supposed to be a credible and believable drama movie with a lot of fantasy, "So don´t put the band there!". He insisted that we were shown because it´s a Nightwish movie, so in two scenes we play as a band and then I have this very little role of an older guy, but none of us have any lines, but you can see us in cameo roles.
The plan for it then? Is the plan to show it in movie theatres or is it going to be on a DVD? Is it going worldwide?
TH: They´re hoping for the best and I think it´s gonna be a theatrical release at least in Finland and Canada since it´s a Finnish – Canadian production, but I have my doubts about the commercial success of this because it´s a bit more on the cult side. The main thing is just that we get it done and I think it´s gonna be a really good movie, but I don´t really see a big commercial success to it, but you never know. When it comes to distribution, all the people just want to see the trailer first, before they make any decisions if they take it to the theatres. We´ll have to wait until January for that.
It´ll be really interesting to see.
TH: It´s a really weird concept.
The title of the album? I read somewhere that there were rumors saying it was gonna be called "Wind embraced". Is that true? Was that ever a title?
TH: No! It´s the first time I hear this. I´ve never heard of it before.
Ok, we blame Wikipedia for that one! Where did the title come from and were there other titles floating around?
TH: No, it was "Imaginarium" from the very beginning. I wanted to make a thematic movie and album about the power of imagination and the roller coaster of life. All the wonders and all the good stuff and all the bad stuff and it just occurred to me. Originally I thought of something like "Imagine", but "No, that´s the John Lennon song and that´s too obvious. Something to do with imagination… imaginarium, that´s it!". Then we had some troubles with that word from a couple of companies and they asked us if there was any way that we could change it, so we just changed a few letters and it was "Imaginaerum". That´s the story.
Later on when the album is released and the movie is out, will the movie in any way be represented in the live show? Actors, theatrical stuff?
TH: We will try to bring the movie alive in some way in the live shows, but nothing concrete because the movie won´t be ready until April or May and we start the tour in January. I would assume that there will be some props from the movie onstage and there might be some screenshots from the movie if we bring screens, but nothing too big.
Are you gonna start in Finland?
TH: The album release show will be in Los Angeles on the 21st of January.
What place?
TH: The Gibson Amphitheater. After that we´re gonna do a tour in Finland and Europe and Russia. Then comes the festival season and then America, South America, Japan. That´s the plan.
So you´ll be busy for another two years?
TH: One year! (laughs) We decided in the band, "Let´s cut it in half!".
Yeah, I guess it takes its toll on you to be on the road for two years?
TH: It was a bit too much. It´s real easy to admitted now that we were all a bit naïve when it came to touring last time, but we had a new singer and the pressure was huge, concerning her and then we decided to do this insane tour and then there was her divorce at the same time. There were a lot of different things within the band and the crew. People started dropping like flies at some point, so we decided it was worth the effort and we had a lot of wonderful times, but at some point it just felt like it was not worth it. I have no idea how Metallica did it after the "Black album".
Well, they later on did "Some kind of monster" and needed therapy. It´s fascinating and I recently talked to Gilby Clarke and the "Use your illusion tour" was one crazy thing that lasted for three years and you read about all the craziness and he said that you kind of live in your own world where there are no rules and no obligations and you pretty much do what you wanna do.
TH: Exactly!
And you take advantage of it and do stuff that you might not have gotten away with in other places.
TH: Yeah, and then the fact that three out of five band members have families with many kids and you call them and they say "Why are you not at home? Don´t you love us anymore? When will you be home?", so all this combined with living in this fantasy world, it really messes with your head.
And then you´re gonna play in Sweden?
TH: yeah, we´re gonna play in Gothenburg and it´s gonna be the first show on the European tour.
No Stockholm?
TH: The schedule is so limited and there´s a whole planet to tour, so we just basically do one show in many countries and this time it´s Gothenburg.
Ok, Tuomas! Nice talking to you!

Nelnet Servicing Data Breach Class Action
Nelnet Servicing, LLC is a student loan servicer. The complaint for this class action alleges that Nelnet failed to take sufficient measures to safeguard the personally identifiable information (PII) of current and former student loan borrowers and others it held in its files, leading to a data breach. The complaint alleges that Nelnet also did not notify the individuals affected in a timely manner.
The Nationwide Class for this action is all persons living in the US whose PII was compromised in the 2022 data breach announced by Nelnet Servicing in August 2022.
The complaint quotes Nelnet's Privacy Policy as saying, "Nelnet takes careful steps to safeguard customer information. … We maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your Nonpublic Personal Information (NPI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and we regularly test those safeguards to maintain the appropriate levels of protection." It also claims to "regularly train our employees on privacy, information security, and their obligation to protect your information."
According to the notices it sent out, Nelnet discovered the data breach on July 21, 2022, when it found that an unauthorized party had gained access to information on its network. At that time, the complaint alleges, the company did not notify the individuals whose information had been stolen but instead chose "to address the incident in-house by implementing other safeguards to some aspects of its computer security. It then simply resumed its normal business operations."
More than a month later, on or around August 26, 2022, the complaint alleges, Nelnet notified state attorneys general and the affected individuals. The notice said that the unauthorized parties had had access to Nelnet's system from sometime in June 2021 to July 21, 2022—more than a year, and, the complaint alleges, "a very long time for an unauthorized actor to be permitted access … without detection."
The complaint claims that more than 2.5 million people were affected and that the PII stolen included full names and Social Security numbers. "Upon information and belief," the complaint alleges, "the PII was not encrypted prior to the Data Breach."
The complaint also alleges, "In response to the Data Breach, Nelnet claims it has further secured [its] systems to protect the private information. Nelnet admits additional security was required, but there is no indication whether these steps are adequate to protect" the information in its systems from here on.
Nelnet had obligations to those who had entrusted it with their information, the complaint says, to keep the data safe. The complaint alleges that "Nelnet failed to uphold its data security obligations" which means that the individual victims will be at risk of identity theft and financial fraud for years to come.

Amid Measles Outbreaks, States Consider Revoking Religious Vaccine Exemptions
By Dirk Vanderhart • May 6, 2019
Hundreds of people rally in March at the Oregon State Capitol in Salem, protesting a proposal to tighten school vaccine requirements Similar rallies were held in April.

On a Tuesday afternoon last month — a work and school day — more than 1,000 parents and children made their way to the state Capitol in Salem, Ore., bearing signs reading, "hands off our rights" and chanting "we do not consent!"
Like activists around the country this year, they had been mobilized by what for many is a noncontroversial fact of life: vaccines.
"We are done with the government's recommendations, done with their guidelines, done with their selling our children to the pharmaceutical companies," said Jaclyn Gallian, an activist who spoke at the event. "Who do we turn to when the corruption and capture are happening at the highest levels? What's left except revolution?"
Oregon is one of more than 10 states considering tightening their vaccine laws this year. It's a reaction to what health officials say is the worst year for measles in 25 years — nearly two decades after the disease was labeled "eliminated" in the U.S.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. has seen more than 700 cases of the highly contagious disease since January. There are ongoing outbreaks in New York and Michigan, among other places.
Earlier this year, the first major outbreak occurred about an hour's drive from the Oregon capital, in southwest Washington. That outbreak has since been declared finished, but it infected more than 70 people before it had run its course.
It also led to the legislation that has caused such a stir in Salem.
Currently, parents in Oregon and most other states can cite religious or philosophical reasons if they don't want to vaccinate their kids. According to the CDC, Oregon kindergartners claim vaccine exemptions at the highest rate in the nation.
But a bill in the state Legislature would do away with those nonmedical exemptions. Parents who didn't secure a doctor's permission would face a choice between vaccination or not sending their kids to school.
This issue has been one of the most emotional issues that I've seen in all my years on the Legislature. - State Sen. Lee Beyer
If passed, Oregon would become the fourth state to eliminate nonmedical exemptions. Opponents are keen on preventing that. In the two months since the bill was filed, it has spurred thousands of letters and phone calls, and hours of passionate testimony.
"This issue has been one of the most emotional issues that I've seen in all my years on the Legislature," said state Sen. Lee Beyer, who has served as a lawmaker for nearly two decades.
Similar debates are being held all over the country.
States such as Colorado, Maine and New York have considered bills this year to tighten vaccine laws, with varying outcomes. Colorado's effort reportedly stalled when it failed to pass the state's Senate, while Maine recently pared back a bill that would have eliminated all nonmedical exemptions.
Washington lawmakers have focused on strengthening requirements for the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella, leaving rules for other shots untouched.
In Oregon, doctors and other health care professionals have come out overwhelmingly in favor of the vaccine bill, which is among the broadest proposed nationwide. They point out that vaccines have been proved safe for the vast majority of the population and effective at stopping the spread of disease.
"Vaccines are one of the few things I recommend without hesitation," said Alanna Braun, a Portland pediatrician, at one of the bill's lengthy hearings. "I am speaking here today on behalf of my patients."
Opponents are far less trusting. Many are parents who worry that their children could be harmed by vaccines. Though rare, some claim their kids have already been injured by the shots.
They also make an overarching argument: that lawmakers are taking away their medical choice.
"I specifically believe that no government should tell me what goes into my child's body," said Nikki Kraus, a mother of five who showed up at the recent rally at the Capitol. "That would be like the president of the United States standing at my dinner table and telling me I have to eat mashed potatoes and gravy and fried chicken."

The strong feelings transcend party. At the rally, proud Democrats stood alongside people wearing Make America Great Again hats.
Evelyn Wakimoto told lawmakers in a hearing she would even consider swapping parties if the Democrats who dominate Oregon's Legislature pass the law. "This bill has seriously made me consider switching my alliance for the first time in my life," Wakimoto said. "The Democratic view has always been about choice — my body, my choice. Choice in medical care for my child is no different."
Still, it's not only Democrats supporting the legislation. The bill has two Republican sponsors, including freshman Rep. Cheri Helt, who says the health of schoolchildren outweighs liberty concerns.
"We don't have many people in the current generation that have experienced polio or the mumps or rubella or the measles and so this is presenting a new conversation," Helt said. "But we can't leave out what the diseases have done to the society and how many people's lives the vaccines have saved."
Helt wasn't around in 2015, the last time Oregon considered stricter vaccine laws. That year, outspoken opposition killed the bill. This year, the question is whether the growing measles outbreak might be enough to drown it out.

Measles was once eliminated from the U.S. Now it is at its highest level in a quarter century, with more than 700 confirmed cases this year. Lawmakers across the country are considering tougher vaccine laws, but they're facing a backlash. Oregon Public Broadcasting's Dirk VanderHart reports on the debate in that state.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTERS: (Chanting) We do not consent. We do not consent.
DIRK VANDERHART, BYLINE: Last month, Oregonians descended on the state's capitol steps in droves. This was on a Tuesday afternoon - a workday, a school day. Yet more than a thousand parents and children made their way to Salem to register their anger. The reason - vaccines.
UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTER: We are done with the government's recommendations, done with their guidelines, done with their selling our children to the pharmaceutical companies.
VANDERHART: Oregon, this year, is 1 of more than 10 states considering tightening its vaccine laws. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. has seen more than 700 cases of measles since January. There are ongoing outbreaks in New York and Michigan, among other places. And earlier this year, this happened about an hour's drive from the Oregon Capitol.
UNIDENTIFIED JOURNALIST: Tonight, at least 30 of the 35 patients sickened with the measles in Clark County, Wash., were never vaccinated.
VANDERHART: That outbreak began in January in southwest Washington and eventually infected more than 70 people, including or Oregonians. It also led to the legislation that's caused such a stir in Salem. Currently, parents in Oregon and most other states can cite religious or philosophical reasons if they don't want to vaccinate their kids.
In Oregon, kindergartners claim vaccine exemptions at the highest rate in the nation. But a bill in the state's legislature would do away with exemptions for nonmedical reasons. The message - vaccinate your kids or they don't go to school. Veteran lawmaker Lee Beyer recently described the ensuing outcry like this.
LEE BEYER: This issue has been one of the most emotional issues that I've seen in all my years in the legislature.
VANDERHART: Doctors and other health care professionals have come out overwhelmingly in favor of the bill. They point out that vaccines have been proven safe for the vast majority of the population and are effective at stopping the spread of disease. Opponents are far less trusting. Many are parents who worry that their children could be harmed by vaccines. They also say that lawmakers are taking away their medical choice.

Q: Access parent context when using this.props.children in React Given the following, is it possible to access the parent context rather than the containers from a child (non-react component) element?
The example logs container, ideally it would log parent. I would like for Parent to be self contained, not to have it's state managed by its container.
var Container = React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function () {
    return {
      context: 'container'
    }
  },
  render: function () {
    return (
      <Parent>
        click me
      </Parent>
    );
  }
});

var Parent= React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function () {
    return {
      context: 'parent'
    }
  },
  render: function () {
    return (

        {this.props.children}

    );
  }
});

If there is another pattern for handling this, please share as well.
Note: To be clear, I understand how the this keyword works and why the above example works as it does. The example is simply meant to illustrate the problem.

A: You can import some React helpers for that:
var React = require('react')

...
var children = React.Children.map(this.props.children, child => {
  return React.cloneElement(child, {
    context: this.state.context
  })
})

render() {
  return
{ children }

}
...

Then your child component will have this.props.context which will be the string 'parent', but this must be a React component, as this needs to refer to the component using the parent prop
var YourComponent = React.createClass({
  render() {
     return (
        console.log(this.props.context)}>
         click me

     )
   }
})

------

var Parent = require('./Parent')
var YourComponent = require('./YourComponent')

...

render() {
  return <Parent><YourComponent /></Parent>
}

A: I do not know about the first part of your question, but since you commented about dynamically creating components, here's how I do it:
You can set a state variable in the constructor of the class and its parent:
if (typeof this.state == 'undefined') {
  this.state = {
    componentsToRender:

  };
}

Then in the parent component, in the componentDidMount() function:
var componentsToRender = [];
if ([conditional]) {
  // some logic so you know which component to render
  componentsToRender.push(<customChildComponentToRender key={} />);
}
else {
  componentsToRender.push(<otherComponentToRender key={} />);
}
this.setState({
  componentsToRender:
{componentsToRender}

});

Make sure to put a key (lines 4 and 7 of the second code block) or React will scream at you.
In response to your initial question, I would watch this video from the ReactJS Conference 2015 to get more of the heart behind a container. After hearing what the guys at Facebook say (who have radical views on containers!), you might want to rethink the design to make your container more of a data layer.

A: I would check out THIS article from the react website. I think it might give you some intuition on solving your problem.
As a general rule of thumb, I try and only use this.state to handle internal UI state of a specific component. Everything else is passed via props. If you're needing the full context of a component, I would either pass it as a prop or checkout something like flux or redux which will help you manage state between components.

"Least ya voice seems ta be ge'in be'ah," Fred offered.
Fred obliged and the two spent the next few hours catching up on the gossip of the slums and the upper crust until Cathy came down the stairs with a kettle of tea and some toast. Then Cathy joined in the gossip while Fred and Cathy ate toast and Jack sipped a tonic that Charles had concocted. Afterward Cathy checked the handiwork of the previous night.
"Besides the obvious?" Jack murmured.
Jack lifted his left hand to show a scar crossing his palm. Cathy gasped and Charles and Fred's eyes widened.
Everyone sat in silence as thick as a mourner's. A blood pact was not something to take lightly, and was usually reserved for engagements or gang initiations.
"Do ya fink…" Fred began, then waved the thought away.
"What is it?" Cathy prodded.
Charles and Cathy's gazes whipped to Jack.
"Uh-huh. See, I can't claim to know how those frilly naga women think, but I know dragonian women usually only pull this move if they want to trap a man." Cathy said with finality.
Cathy held up a palm and pointed to it. Jack replied by pointing to the hole in his mid section.
"So what happened? I never heard of this baby," Cathy said.
"You want answer?" Jack asked in as offended of a voice as he could muster.
Charles stood and collected his book, saying, "Well, I for one need to get upstairs and open the shop. I suggest the rest of you find more productive uses for your time as well, you won't find any answers in the basement." And with that, Charles left up the stairs.
Cathy watched him leave, then said with a new determination. "He's right. We won't find answers down here, but I bet I can get the old rumor mill churning." She then bounded up the stairs herself.


If you are looking to buy a property that is being developed, the best option is to have it inspected at various stages during the construction. When the foundation is being laid, the inspector evaluates the slab, the drains, framework, reinforcement and foundations. This is also the stage when the inspector may check if termite protection is being provided by the builder. The inspector will ensure that the setback and boundaries are in line with the prevailing legal requirements.
Once the framework is up, the inspector makes sure that the room dimensions and ceiling height are being provided as per the plans given to you at the outset. The next stage is the lock-up stage where the inspector verifies that the roof, windows, doors, brickwork, mortar, plumbing and electrical are all in line with established standards.
If you are considering buying a brand new home that has just been completed, a building inspector still has a very critical role to play. Before you take possession, he will inspect the tile laying quality, paint, sealing jobs, door/window installations, woodwork and cupboards, kitchen slabs and so on. Most importantly, the inspector will review whether or not the home has been constructed with first grade materials and in line with Australian Standard and the LEP.
You may be unaware of what exactly these regulations and standards imply, but an experienced and qualified building inspector is fully aware of all the legal as well as safety requirements currently in force. He compares your home against these guidelines so that you do not end up investing your life savings in a home that is unsafe or that has been constructed in violation of the prevailing rules. In effect, whether you are buying a home that is already being lived in or you want to invest in a brand new property, home inspection by an ethical and experienced inspector should be your first step in the purchase process.

Hazrat Fatima az-Zahra (S.A.), Supreme Model of Feminine Virtues
By: Seyyed Ali Shahbaz
"Hom Fatema, wa Abuha, wa Ba'luha, wa Banuha (It is Fatema, her father, her husband and her sons.)"
The above is an immortal phrase regularly recited by followers of the Prophet's Ahl al-Bayt, especially while reading the famous Hadith al-Kisa or the Tradition of the Cloak.
According to this renowned narration, this phrase is the Almighty's reply to the query of the celestial angels, dazzled by the bright beams of light emanating from Planet Earth when Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) assembled his daughter, son-in-law, and two grandsons under a cloak to pray for Divine confirmation of their spotless purity, so as to serve as an eternal barometer differentiating truth from falsehood.
But why did God chose to identity this immaculate group through Fatema (AS), when her father was the most perfect of all human beings and the Last and Greatest of all Messengers to mankind?
The answer is obvious. Although the angels are addressed here, the reply is to all humanity and creation, till the Day of Judgement. It is to make anyone with a grain of commonsense understand the prime position of the greatest ever role model for women, loftier than the Virgin Mary.
It is also to remove any misconception concerning the following verse of the Holy Qur'an that was revealed in the immediate aftermath of this memorable event (on the eve of the historic Mubahela with the Christians of Najran), since in the distant future some faithless elements might try to deceive simple-minded Muslims by claiming that certain fallible women, connected by the not-so-firm bond of marriage with the Prophet, are included in it: "Allah desires to keep away uncleanness from you Ahl al-Bayt and preserve you pure as purity can be." (33:33)
Moreover, Fatema (SA), the only women in the Infallible Group called the Ahl al-Bayt by the All-Wise Creator, is the link cementing all the four males assembled under the cloak - Father: the Prophet. Husband: Imam Ali (AS). Sons: Imam Hasan (AS) and Imam Husain (AS).
No wonder, the following morning when the Prophet, calmly and confidently, entered the field of malediction to the amazement of both the Muslims and the Christians, none of his companions or his wives were with him for the crucial encounter, except for his daughter, son-in-law, and two small grandsons, the Ahl al-Bayt, whom God has decreed as Barometers of Truth. (Holy Qur'an 3:61)
The Christians of Najran, dazzled by the radiance of this select group, especially by the presence of the Pride of the Virgin Mary, Hazrat Fatema az-Zahra (the Radiant), whose veiled figure they saw for the first time of their several-day stay in Medina, acknowledged the truth of Islam and withdrew their challenge to invoke Divine Curse on the liars.
Could there be any other doubt of the pivotal position in Islam of Hazrat Fatema (SA), the Kowthar or the Spring of Perennially Abundant Munificence, mentioned by God in the surah of the same name in the Holy Qur'an?
Certainly not, especially since the last verse of the Surat al-Kowthar after indirectly referring to the perpetuality of the Prophet's progeny through his daughter Fatema (SA), says in explicit words: "Your enemy is without lineal descent."
Today, on the 20th of Jamadi ath-Thani, while celebrating the birth of this blessed personality, whom the Prophet often called Tuffahat al-Firdows (Apple of Paradise), since she was conceived immediately after his Me'raj or Ascension to the highest point in the heavens and back to earth in a small part of the night, and his eating of the fruit of Paradise, we have to admit that mortals cannot enumerate the merits of Seyyedat-nisa al-'alamin min al-awwalin wa'l-akherin (Chief of women of the worlds of all time).
The peerless position of the Baz'at ar-Rasoul (Part of the Prophet), is also clear from her title of Umm Abiha (Mother of her own Father) which she acquired for her care and concern for her widower father after the passing away of her mother, Omm al-Momenin (Mother of all True Believers), Hazrat Khadija (SA).
Yet, despite her lofty merits, Hazrat Fatema (SA) used to personally do all household chores. After marriage and a very simple dowry given by her father consisting of basic amenities, the couple shared the blessings of a blissful life, whose fruits were four immaculate children -two sons and two daughters, all of whom continue to serve as models par excellence for the virtuous till this day.
Imam Ali (AS) was responsible for all outside work while she took care of household affairs. They made an excellent husband and wife pair. As the supreme symbol of feminine virtues, she displayed the highest ethical traits in marital life in view of the hadith: "jihad al-mar'a husn at-tab'al (a woman's jihad [striving in the way of Allah] is to behave excellently with her husband)."
She also enjoyed very cordial relations with her mother-in-law Fatema bint Asad (SA), the lady who had brought up her father, the future Prophet, as a son and to whose care the Prophet had entrusted Hazrat Fatema (SA) after she was orphaned at Hazrat Khadija's (SA) death. She never allowed her mother-in-law to trouble herself with household chores and left to her the social relations for keeping the necessary contact with family members and friends.
In 7 AH when the Prophet granted his daughter with the virtuous Abyssinian maid, Fizza, she divided the work equally, by giving rest to the maid a whole day after a day's work, and discharging the duties that day herself.
These are some of the immortal lessons taught to humanity by Hazrat Fatema (SA), whose birthday is celebrated as Mothers' Day and Women's Week in the Islamic Republic of Iran and by followers of the Prophet's Ahl al-Bayt all over the world.

I spent mine in Charlotte scouting out places to live + celebrating my friend Anna getting married.
It was the perfect occasion to wear this Rag & Bone floral dress I bought on super sale months ago. I cannot get enough of the in-your-face floral print + the cut out mesh detail in the back really gives the dress some kick. We managed to dodge the rain and get a few photos before we headed into town to celebrate the newly married couple.
I'm both proud and shocked that I managed not to spill anything on the dress Saturday night. Let's keep that kind of karma rolling.
Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket?!
The dress is beautiful but I seriously love your shoes! Hope you had a good weekend in Charlotte!
That dress is awesome! I am envious! Wish I had that in my collection :)!
There's a new blogger in the Queen City! Woohoo!!! LOVE that profile picture of you. Welcome to Charlotte, Becky!!!
Oh my gosh... You look amazing! In love with this dress! Worth the investment!
What a gorgeous print! And I LOVE the cut out back!


We are getting so anxious to tell people the good news. We hung out with Abe & E today and just wanted to go ahead and spill the beans. However, we didn't, figuring it was probably bad luck to say anything before an official report from the doc. So, we are waiting until hopefully no later than Sept. 13...which is a family cookout we are arranging for the event. We hope both sides of family can make it so we can reveal in style.

She's about to join forces with The Avengers...
The first photos of Brie Larson's eponymous turn in Captain Marvel have been revealed – and she's looking pretty powerful.
In the photos, the Oscar winner is seen wearing a green and black suit, which is a marked contrast from the red, blue, and gold outfit worn by heroine Carol Danvers.
However, it's since been noted that the photos could be at the start of filming – as the suit is reflective of the character's original look before she adopted her most famous outfit.

The first look at the outfit comes after Larson teased fans with a photo that showed her in a US Air Force flight suit and helmet.
"Learning how to fly", Larson captioned the snap.
Although the plot of Captain Marvel is yet to be revealed, the character will reportedly play a huge role in driving the future direction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"[Captain Marvel is] going to be a big part of heading towards this epic conclusion and epic finale of 22 movies over the course of 10 years," Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige said.
"That is the focus for the next six movies we have to finish and get out. Really, the focus now is on delivering Captain Marvel and then bringing Captain Marvel's story into the finale of everything we've started thus far."

Gina Marissa Mata
August 6, 1968 - January 5, 2022
A loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, Gina Marissa Mata went to be with the Lord on January 5, 2022, at the age of 53, in San Antonio, Texas.

Q: Configure single endpoint for all WCF services offerend in project? In my WCF project, I have two services Products and Customers. Both these services have separate interface and implementation .cs files. In App.Config I could see the below,
      <service name="DemoProj.Services.ProductService">
    <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="DemoProj.Services.Interfaces.IProductService">
      <identity>
        <dns value="localhost" />
      </identity>
    </endpoint>
    <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
    <host>
      <baseAddresses>
        <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/DemoProj/Service/ProductService/" />
      </baseAddresses>
    </host>
  </service>
  <service name="DemoProj.Services.CustomerService">
    <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="DemoProj.Services.Interfaces.ICustomerService">
      <identity>
        <dns value="localhost" />
      </identity>
    </endpoint>
    <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
    <host>
      <baseAddresses>
        <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/DemoProj/Service/CustomerService/" />
      </baseAddresses>
    </host>
  </service>

When the client consumes this WCF service, it will require both Products and Customers service.
My question is, I will have many more services and the App.config is going to be big with lots of endpoints. In my current scenario, I will need only one contract, binding, address for all my services like Products, Customers and so on. I need to only configure one endpoint that is shared by all the services I expose to my client.
I understand, it is by WCF design where it is more flexible to have different configurations for different services offered. But in my case i don't require like that. I want to make my App.config simple with only one endpoint.

Assam: Madrassa demolished, students face uncertain future
The Assam Police on Tuesday claimed that people have demolished the madrassa and a house adjacent to it in protest against the alleged use of its premises for 'jihadi' activities.
Written by PTI
The madrassa which was demolished had around 20 students.
By Trideep Lahkar
A day after the madrassa he was studying in was demolished by villagers of Darogar Alga char (sand bar) in Goalpara district of Assam, 10-year-old Abdul Hamid and his classmates stare at an uncertain future.
After completing his primary education up to Class 5 at the Darogar Alga Majar Char Lower Primary School, Hamid's father got him admitted to the local madrassa for learning theology.
"Our madrassa was demolished yesterday. But our teachers had run away a few days ago after the police came looking for them around 20 days back. Since then, no class has taken place," Hamid told PTI here.

Hamid said all his classmates had left the seminary for their homes after two teachers, allegedly Bangladeshis, disappeared following the arrest of some persons in connection with alleged 'jehadi' links.
Ismail Mohammed, another student of the madrassa, said he will have to help his father in farming if he cannot join another institute somewhere else.
"My father cannot afford to send me to a high school for studies. I have only two options — either join another madrassa or help my father in farming," he added.
Hamid's father, Somesh Ali, said all parents took their children home after the news of terror links were alleged with the two teachers of the madrassa.
"My son was very good at studies. He even had made a small machine boat using batteries and small pieces of tin during his school days. I got him admitted in the madrassa about four months back," Ali said.
Asked why he admitted Hamid to a religious course instead of proper general studies despite his scientific knack, he said that the village does not have a high school and the boy would have to travel a lot for higher studies.
"Moreover, he will earn something and will be able to feed himself if one day he becomes an Imam," the father uttered.
The madrassa which was demolished had around 20 students. They were studying theology by staying in the compound which also houses a mosque. The mosque, however, was not dismantled.
Asked why parents take their children away from general schools and admit them to the madrassa, Habibur Rahman, the only teacher of the Darogar Alga Majar Char Lower Primary School, said there may be more than one reason for this.
"A madrassa offers food and lodging for the students and that helps poor parents. However, I don't think it is the reason here," he told PTI sitting under a peepal tree on the school compound.
The Muslim community considers it to be holy if a person's 'janaja' (funeral prayer) is conducted by a family member, especially a son, Rahman said.
"This is one of the main reasons among the less educated Muslim families for sending their children to madrassa education instead of general studies. Two students from Class 1 and 3 were studying in the madrassa after leaving my school," he added.
The veteran school teacher, who has been serving the institution since 1987, said that he disapproves of the parents' decision to discontinue school education of the kids for religious studies.
"I told the parents that I will not issue any certificate for their children if they study in a madrassa. Strangely, the parents were fine with it," Rahman said.
An almost similar experience was shared by Soburuddin, the single teacher of Darogar Alga Majar Char Lower Primary School No 2, regarding two of his students.
"Their parents were adamant in taking their sons away from the school to get admission in the madrassa. I tried to convince them about the benefits and prospects of general education, but they did not listen," he added.
The two students of his school were studying in Class 3 and 4, Soburuddin said, adding "I did not give any certificate to them".
Uzir Jamal, a 62-year-old resident of the village, said poor infrastructure of government-run schools is also forcing parents to take their children to madrassas.
"All the five LP schools in the char (sand bar) have students from Class 1 to 5, but there is only one teacher in each of them. Is it possible to impart quality education by a single teacher to five classes at the same time?" asked Jamal.
Apart from teaching, the single teacher of all the schools manages mid-day meal arrangements like shopping and looking after cooking though there are two cooks in each school, he added.
Assam DGP Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta had last week said that there are about 3,000 registered and unregistered madrassas across Assam that are run by four main Muslim organisations.

UK News: Prime Minister Boris Johnson's words ahead of the G7 Summit
UK (STL.News) – UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, released the following statement:
"We are meeting in Biarritz at a critical moment for the world and for Britain. We face unprecedented global challenges at the very time when public trust in the institutions designed to address them risks being undermined.
"International tensions and new trade barriers are threatening global growth. Violence and conflict are trapping countries in poverty, depriving children, and particularly girls, of the universal right to education. Climate change is accelerating the devastating and unprecedented loss of habitats and species. My message to G7 leaders this week is this: the Britain I lead will be an international, outward-looking, self-confident nation.
"We will be an energetic partner on the world stage. We will stand alongside our G7 allies to solve the most pressing international issues. As a family of nation-states we must reaffirm our core beliefs. Universal values, underpinned by democracy, serve to deliver global prosperity.
"Britain will never flinch from the special responsibilities that go with being a pillar and an architect of the international system. Some people question the democratic decision this country has made, fearing that we will retreat from the world. Some think Britain's best days are behind us. To those people I say: you are gravely mistaken.
"We will stand up for liberty, democracy, the rule of law, equality and human rights – the ideals that we share with our friends and allies.
"We will remain at the heart of the alliances that span the world. And we will continue to use the breadth of our expertise in diplomacy, defence and development to uphold and safeguard the global order on which peace and prosperity depends."

DHS bulking up civilian agency cybersecurity
Scott Maucione@smaucioneWFED
The Department of Homeland Security is embarking on an "aggressive" timetable to secure civilian networks in response to the cyber attack on the Office of Personnel Management.
"As the OPM breach painfully demonstrated, our cybersecurity efforts are not where they need to be," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Nov. 18.
Johnson did not provide any further details on the timetable during his speech at the Federal Times CyberCon event in Arlington, Virginia, however he did outline a number of initiatives DHS is working on to increase government cybersecurity.
As Federal News Radio reported earlier this month, DHS' automated, near real time information sharing system is up and running as of Oct. 31.
"We recently made the first phase of our continuous diagnostics and mitigation program available to 97 percent of the civilian dot-gov," Johnson said. "This program known as [Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation] helps federal agencies identify and fix problems on their networks in near real-time."
The Office of Management and Budget gave DHS a Sept. 30 deadline to implement phase 2 of the continuous diagnostics and mitigation (CDM) program to civilian agencies, according to a new cybersecurity strategy and implementation plan OMB released Oct. 30.
"Once fully implemented, CDM tools will monitor agency networks internally for vulnerabilities that could be exploited by bad actors that have breached the perimeter," Johnson said.
DHS also has increased the implementation of the EINSTEIN intrusion and detection prevention system, otherwise known as E3A. It now protects 47 percent of the agencies, slightly more than the 45 percent the department said it covered in June.
Johnson's announcement comes as Defense Information Systems Agency Director Lt. Gen. Alan Lynn said there is currently an ongoing "economic cyber Cold War."
"Imagine a country that is working a long war fight that is not interested in a dramatic one-day cyber attack, but a 20-year plan to periodically do a cyber takedown of the Sony, Home Depot, Target, name your company," Lynn said. "It costs pennies to conduct those attacks and millions of dollars to fix them."
Lynn said that will erode confidence in U.S. retail, goods and services. Companies, however, are continually becoming more cyber reliant. Uber for example is a taxi company with no taxis, Lynn said.
"It's cyber, Amazon surpassed Wal-Mart as the largest retailer this summer, it's not brick-and-mortar, it's cyber," Lynn said.

Allegedly, China is one of the biggest hackers of the United States government and U.S. based companies.
President Barack Obama signed an agreement with China in September to halt the theft of intellectual property via cyber.
Government officials have been skeptical of China's ability to live up to the agreement.
Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work, National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper all said they were wary of China's ability to stop stealing intellectual property during the Sept. 29 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
"Hope springs eternal," Clapper said. "We will have to watch what their behavior is."
In response to committee Chairman John McCain's (R-Ariz.) question as to whether or not he was optimistic about the Chinese sticking to the agreement, Clapper said no.
"The extent to which Chinese are purloining our data is pretty pervasive," Clapper said.
Johnson will be part of the ministerial-level dialogues on the agreement between the countries, the first of which are scheduled to take place in Washington on Dec. 1 and 2. Johnson will be joined by the attorney general for the talks.
The deputy DHS secretary also traveled to Beijing last week to prepare for the meetings.
"Time will tell whether the Chinese government's commitments in writing are matched by action," Johnson said. The meetings "will remain an important indicator … they represent a step forward in our efforts to address one of the sharpest areas of disagreement in the U.S.-China bilateral relationship."

← The EDPB clarifications on Privacy Shield-1
The EDPB Clarifications on Privacy Shield..3 →
The EDPB clarifications on Privacy Shield..2
Posted on July 26, 2020 by Vijayashankar Na
(This is a continuation of the earlier article)
In order to provide some clarity to the EU Court of Justice ruling of 16th July 2020 on the rejection of the US Privacy Shield, the EDPB has come up with answers to a list of questions that is being raised by the business community.
A copy of the document is available here
In a bid to soften the business impact of the decision, EDPB has tried to highlight that the judgement has upheld the validity of the Standard Contract Clauses (SCCs) which are available for use by the business entities for personal data transfer. It has specifically highlighted that the validity of SCCs is not questioned
"by the mere fact that the standard data protection clauses in that decision do not, given that they are contractual in nature, bind the authorities of the third country to which data may be transferred."
This observation has to be taken with a pinch of salt since the principle established under the judgement can still be used to invalidate any SCC if it can be established that the destination country's intelligence system has access to the information under a process not acceptable to the EU Court.
This is also reiterated by EDPB itself stating
In general, for third countries, the threshold set by the Court also applies to all appropriate safeguards under Article 46 GDPR used to transfer data from the EEA to any third country.
In other words, the EU Court will stand in judgement of any powers to be exercised by other sovereign Governments in respect of the powers to be given to their intelligence agencies.
While Article 23 does give such powers to the countries of the EU, it appears that the EUCJ wants to deny such powers to other sovereign countries.
EDPB reiterates that
The Court considered that the requirements of U.S. domestic law, and in particular certain programmes enabling access by U.S. public authorities to personal data transferred from the EU to the U.S. for national security purposes, result in limitations on the protection of personal data which are not circumscribed in a way that satisfies requirements that are essentially equivalent to those required under EU law, and that this legislation does not grant data subjects actionable rights before the courts against the U.S. authorities.
This view clearly is an interference in the affairs of another country in its sovereign duties and indicates a myopic view of the Court lacking the humbleness required in tackling international issues. This would be unacceptable to any self respecting foreign Government.
The EDPB cleverly points out that despite a valid contract,
the data importer is required to inform the data exporter of any inability to comply with the standard data protection clauses, and where necessary with any supplementary measures to those offered by those clause, the data exporter then being, in turn, obliged to suspend the transfer of data and/or to terminate the contract with the data importer.
It is to be noted that instead of making the data exporter responsible to validate if the contract is enforceable, it makes the data importer liable for the disclosure.
This will result in the data exporters bringing economic pressure on the data importer to sign on the dotted line to either declare that their respective intelligence agencies donot have the power to demand the information, which will be a false claim or force them into a confrontation with their own intelligence agencies when such a demand is made.
In political terminology this would amount to instigating an entity in a sovereign country to raise against the powers of law enforcement of its own sovereign Government.
It would be interesting to see if the Trump Government would accept this ruling and agree to subordinate it's legitimate national security duties to the protection of the Privacy rights of the EU Citizens as directed by the EUCJ.
This could be an opening of a major international legal conflict where the US courts may be pitched against the EU Courts.
The US courts may however come into reckoning only when the EU data protection authorities or any EU Data controller tries to impose penalties on a US entity under any SCC clause. Until such time there will be a Damocles Sword hanging over the US joint data controllers taking up US business.
Alternatively, it is for the US business to reject against this EUCJ decision and reiterate their own SCC clauses and ensure that the contracts entered into with the EU Data controllers donot expressly agree to reject the authority of the country's law enforcement requirements.
They should also reject the "Data Importer's Responsibility" of due diligence by an express provision in the contract stating some thing similar to the effect
"Not withstanding anything contained above, the Data Exporter recognizes that the Data Importer is subject to the jurisdiction of the laws of the Data Importer's country and is required to abide by the provisions of such law, in particular to the context referred to under Article 23 of GDPR in the context"
