Limmud FSU launches Elie Wiesel Exhibition at Limmud 2016 Conference
Photo by Roman Kogan
Today (28.12), Limmud FSU launched an exhibit dedicated to the life and work of Nobel prize laureate, Elie Wiesel, at Limmud UK 2016 conference that is taking place in Birmingham this week.
Among the participants in the launching event were the founder of Limmud FSU and initiator of the exhibit, Chaim Chesler; Chair of Limmud UK David Hoffman, CEO of Limmud UK Eli Ovits, Limmud FSU Executive Director Roman Kogan, UJIA CEO Michael Wegier, Limmud FSU Europe chairman Semyon Dovzhik, Executive Director of Limmud France Ruth Ouazana, President of Board of Deputies Jonatan Arkush, Israeli historian and Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff, MP Luciana Berger, President and CEO of Energiya Global Capital Yosef Abramowitz and more.
Chaim Chesler said, "This exhibition is in effect, the last will and testament of Elie Wiesel. He wanted to open it in Moscow a year before at the annual Limmud FSU conference in that city, but as he neared his end he told me that he did not have the strength, but that he wanted it to be opened nevertheless and then travel around the world so that people would understand the importance of Holocaust remembrance and the fight for the freedom of the Jews of the USSR – causes to which he had devoted his whole life."
"There is a great deal of symbolism behind the fact that the exhibition is now being shown in the Begin Center," said Dr. Joel Rappel, curator of the exhibition and former director of the Elie Wiesel archives in Boston. "In 1977, when President Jimmy Carter was preparing for a meeting with Prime Minister Menachem Begin, he was told that he needed to read the books of Elie Wiesel because they deal with issues that deeply concern the prime minister. When Carter decided to set up the Presidential Commission on the Holocaust, he asked his advisors who should be appointed to head it, and Arthur Goldberg, America's ambassador to the United Nations, recommended that it be Wiesel. The letter of appointment can be seen here in the exhibition." Rappel added, "Three and a half years later, Begin sent a letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee recommending Elie Wiesel, and he received the award five years later."

Spotlight on Health: A COVID-19 Update from Fry Foundation Health Grantees
The world has changed fundamentally for the health sector over the past several months.
In early April, over 70% of recorded COVID-19 deaths in Chicago were African-American patients (46% statewide). Many factors contribute to this racial inequity. Pre-existing health conditions like high blood pressure, asthma, and diabetes are more prevalent in black and Latinx communities due to a lack of access to healthcare. And these conditions put people at the highest risk for death from the coronavirus. There are also social factors, often called social determinants of health, related to socioeconomic and environmental factors that are driving this disparity. Social distancing is a privileged concept. Out of necessity, low-income people tend to live in more crowded homes; work in public-facing service sector jobs; cannot afford to stay home; rely on public transportation; and are concentrated in disinvested neighborhoods.
Fry Foundation grantees have been nimble and reshaped their care delivery to meet the demands of COVID-19. Frontline medical providers are pushed to the limit, and resources are stretched thin. The confluence of shifting COVID-19 guidance, changing Medicaid policies, and the State's stay-at-home order has required health clinics to adapt protocols and reassess capacities continually.
On April 10, 2020, Governor Pritzker announced plans for four federally qualified health centers on Chicago's South and West sides to expand COVID-19 testing for the underinsured and uninsured to more than 400 tests per day. This is part of a multi-faceted effort to address the lack of services on the west side of Chicago. Three of the four clinics tapped for this initiative are Fry Foundation grantees: Lawndale Christian Health Center, PCC Community Wellness Center, and Chicago Family Health Center.
The pandemic has also stressed the sector financially. The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act will provide some relief as new money comes to the state to increase COVID-19 screening and testing, acquire medical supplies and protective equipment, and boost telehealth capacity. The State has allocated CARES funding to many Fry Foundation grantees:
• Access Community Health Network
• Asian Human Services Family Health
• Chicago Family Health Center, Inc.
• Christian Community Health Center
• Erie Family Health Center
• Esperanza Health Centers
• Hamdard Center
• Heartland Health Centers
• Howard Brown Health Center
• Lawndale Christian Health Center
• Near North Health Services
• PCC Community Wellness Center
• TCA Health, Inc.
Esperanza Health Center is one of the Fry Foundation grantees that has received CARES funding. It is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that offers a range of culturally sensitive primary medical services including pediatrics, family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, podiatry, and allergy/immunology. Esperanza's four sites in Little Village (South Lawndale), Marquette Park (Chicago Lawn), and Brighton Park deliver care to over 20,000 patients each year from communities across the Southwest Side.
In a recent newsletter, Esperanza shared that according to the Chicago Department of Public Health data in early May, the city's Latinx population represented not only the greatest number of known COVID-19 cases, but the highest rate of infection:
Latinx individuals are 29.0% of Chicago's population yet 41.6% of known Covid-19 cases.
Here is how Esperanza is responding:
Esperanza has tested 3627 individuals, identifying 1799 who were positive, to whom its offer ongoing care.
Clinical staffing is the limiting factor to doing more tests, so it is bringing on additional staff. Esperanza has hired a full-time registered nurse to help provide positive Covid-19 test results to its patients.
It has been busy providing care on all fronts: telehealth visits, telecounseling sessions, critical in-clinic appointments, and testing in drive-through tents. The communities Esperanza serves are turning to it in great numbers; in fact, it had more patient encounters in April than in any month since Esperanza began.
Fry Foundation grantees continue to identify new ways to ensure patients receive the care they need, relying on care teams, electronic medical records, and care coordination systems developed with the support of the Fry Foundation. We have been monitoring the spread of COVID-19 with a deep concern for the pressures and risks under which grantees are operating. We are proud of our grantees, and we recognize the enormous value of their work.

Canadian who helped design Ebola vaccine says there isn't enough to stop current outbreak in Congo
As the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo nears the one-year mark, a Canadian scientist who helped design a vaccine for the deadly disease says there isn't enough of the precious preventive tool.
Drugmaker Merck said it will triple stockpile of vaccine
Katie Nicholson · CBC News · Posted: Jul 06, 2019 4:00 AM ET | Last Updated: July 6, 2019
The World Health Organization reports nearly 147,000 people have received the Ebola vaccine since Congo's health ministry first declared the new outbreak in August 2018. (Al-hadji Kudra Maliro/The Associated Press)
As the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo nears the one-year mark, one of the Canadian scientists who helped design a vaccine for the deadly disease says there isn't enough of the precious preventive tool.
In 2016, the drugmaker Merck, which manufactures the vaccine, entered into an agreement with the Vaccine Alliance in Geneva to maintain a stockpile of 300,000 doses in case of an outbreak.
But "300,000 doses is not enough anymore," said microbiologist and researcher Gary Kobinger, who has been tracking the outbreak from the Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases at Laval University in Quebec City.
"You would need to reach a million, if not two million [people].
"You cannot just offer it and say, 'That's it, we're done, we don't have anything anymore.' You need to make sure you have enough to cover 100 per cent of the people if 100 per cent of the people ask for it."
Microbiologist and researcher Gary Kobinger, who has been tracking the outbreak from the Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases at Laval University, said "300,000 doses is not enough anymore." (CBC)
Merck confirmed Friday that it met with the World Health Organization and the Vaccine Alliance in June to discuss supply concerns.
Merck spokesperson Skip Irvine said the company decided to nearly triple the stockpile within the next 18 months.
"We've amplified our commitment now to this greater number of around 850,000 [doses]," said Irvine.
He said they arrived at the figure after consultations with WHO, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and "other interested parties as to what they believe will be needed in the event that the outbreak continues."
Irvine said Merck has another 250,000 doses ready to ship.
Outbreak began in August 2018
Congo's health ministry first declared the new outbreak on Aug. 1, 2018. WHO reports nearly 147,000 people have received the vaccine since then. But demand is high and growing as health workers try to treat those who have come into contact with people who have been infected.
The rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine was partially developed by a team in the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg and showed promising results when it was used in 2015, during the largest Ebola outbreak in history in West Africa. The vaccine is now manufactured by Merck and takes nearly a year to produce.
How the new Ebola vaccine was made in Canada
'Phenomenal news': Large clinical trial confirms Ebola vaccine is highly effective
Ebola is highly infectious. To contain it, health workers use a ring vaccination method. First they vaccinate the immediate circle — those who had direct contact with an infected person. Then they move out, offering the vaccine to everyone in contact with those in the first ring.
Trish Newport, a nurse with Doctors Without Borders who hails from Whitehorse and is currently based in Geneva, said medical professionals "don't see the outbreak diminishing at all."
"We see still these high numbers of cases every week. And so with every new case, you have another ring, you have more people to vaccinate."
Newport witnessed the demand for the vaccine firsthand when she worked in Butembo, the epicentre of the outbreak.
"It's clear that we need to have more vaccine and those 300,000 doses are being used very quickly," she said. "It's such a great, huge tool, and I can't imagine the outbreak if we didn't have it. So it's scary to think about what happens if we run out of it."
Supply not the only problem
According to the World Health Organization, nearly 2,400 people have been infected and more than 1,600 have died from the hemorrhagic fever in Congo. There are new worries it could spread into neighbouring countries, after an infected woman arrived near the Ugandan and South Sudanese border last week.
The woman travelled more than 460 kilometres from her hometown of Beni, Congo, to the busy border hub. Upon falling ill, she disclosed that her children had all recently succumbed to Ebola. She then died herself in what's called the Ariwara Health Zone, which shares a border with Uganda's Arua district.
A supply of the vaccine isn't the only problem health workers face. Lack of trust in the region has been a big issue, Newport said. The area was rocked by ethnic violence in December when the United Nations said at least 890 people were killed over a three-day period.
UN believes hundreds were killed in tribal violence last month in Congo
Newport said that violence has hindered trust between foreign health workers and the local population, and made it difficult to get complete lists of who infected people have come into contact with.
"Can you imagine? You don't trust the government. You have a history of massacres and you don't necessarily know who was responsible," Newport said.
"Then you get sick with Ebola and either someone from the government or someone from a foreign organization comes to you and they say, 'Everyone that is really close to you in your life, I'm going to make a list so I can follow them closely,"' Newport said. "I understand completely why they wouldn't give me that list."
Newport said in the last week, 40 per cent of the new confirmed cases were not listed as having had any contact with known cases of Ebola.

"This is extremely extremely concerning, because it means that there are cases that are not being identified," Newport said. "It's one of my most serious concerns, because it means there can be a spread of the disease. It means it can go across provinces, across health zones, even across country borders."
Vaccine proving to be effective
The good news, Kobinger said, is that the vaccine has proven to be 97.5 per cent effective during this outbreak.
He said about 72 per cent of the population needs to be immunized to block the spread of the infectious disease.
"You can have a vaccine that is 100 per cent effective, but if you only vaccinate 10 per cent of the population that is susceptible to get the disease … you cannot expect the vaccine to have a strong impact."

Tomorrow Never Knows
Written by Cian Hussey
If educator and novelist John Marsden agrees our kids should be free to take risks; why not also adults?, wonders IPA Adjunct Fellow Cian Hussey.
How ironic for a book called Take Risks to come out at the height of the panic-driven response to COVID. As former Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on numerous occasions, we adopted a 'safety only' rather than a 'safety first' approach to risk throughout the pandemic. And as the IPA has highlighted over the past two-and-a-half years, the way we have responded to COVID has revealed a great deal about our political leaders and the bureaucrats who advise (read: dictate to) them, and about who we are as a people more broadly.
Take Risks: Raising Kids Who Love the Adventure of Life
Macmillan Australia, 2021,
Educator and author of the Tomorrow young adult novel series John Marsden published his latest book, Take Risks, late last year. For those who think we have become a far too risk-averse society—where 'safetyism' prevails—the title piques interest. Unfortunately, those who come to his book with this perspective will be let down.
The book covers a range of topics: it is part autobiographic, covering some of Marsden's teaching career and life story in giving writers workshops and starting two schools; part a rant about excessive red tape and faceless bureaucracies that exist to hinder rather than help; part scattered observations about the world, parenting, teaching, and society; and part what appears to be an attempt at political philosophy. Marsden explains the title of the book relatively early on:
If Candlebark and Alice Miller [the schools he founded] have a motto, it is 'take risks'. I throw in the words 'take care' occasionally, as a token gesture… We believe children should be adventurous. If they are not allowed the opportunity to live adventurous lives, they are condemned to a slow spiritual death… The child who is overprotected, kept from danger, is dying the death of a thousand cuts. He or she is likely to become passive, unmotivated, apathetic, alienated or angry, or all of the above.
The hunger for this kind of insight has been demonstrated by the fame of Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, where he delivers almost exactly the same message in his long lectures and podcasts. IPA members and readers of the IPA Review are no doubt familiar with this, so to find this coming from a mainstream and nominally left-wing author was heartening. (I say nominally, for now, but later chapters of Take Risks expose a far more radical and dangerous streak in Marsden).
Marsden is frustrated because bureaucrats have not implemented his view of the world.
Unnecessary bureaucracy is one of Marsden's pet hates. His perspective is interesting here, because he recites stories of his interactions with various bureaucratic people and organisations and relays how he often ignores them completely or bends the truth to tick their boxes and then proceeds how he would have anyway. Perhaps the most insightful is the story of how, on the eve of opening one of his schools, he found they did not have enough students enrolled in a certain year level to satisfy minimum capacity requirements, and the Victorian bureaucracy said he would not be able to open. Marsden phoned the parent of a student in a younger year, said the student was being promoted to the short cohort, phoned the bureaucrat back to tell him there had been a mistake and they satisfied the requirements. After getting the all-clear to go ahead on the Monday morning, Marsden called the parent back to let him know the child was being returned to his intended class.
Stories like this litter the book, but at times Marsden gets stuck in the details. The first page-long quote from a regulation or letter from a public servant might have added something, but after a few more these passages invite glazed eyes and skim reading. This repetitiveness can be forgiven, for some of Marsden's insights about bureaucracy and red tape after decades of first-hand experience are interesting. Marsden's observation that "at some point in the last generation the bureaucrats won their long-running war for control of the country" is poignant, adding that this war "was fought so silently and invisibly that it is impossible to pinpoint the date of the battle in which they achieved their victory, but the cost of that victory has been dreadful". As outlined by the IPA in countless papers and op-eds, that dreadful cost has been technocracy substituting for democracy and a distortion of our free and entrepreneurial way of life.
It becomes clear as the book progresses, however, that Marsden is not frustrated with this silent victory of the bureaucrats because he believes in democracy and our Westminster inheritance, but because the bureaucrats have not implemented his view of the world. Marsden writes that the "defining characteristic of the bureaucratic mind is fear" and that we are "currently suffering, amongst other pandemics and epidemics, a pandemic of fear, which is all the more bizarre given that the Western world has… never been safer." Especially pertinent given the past two years, he writes that those:
… who suffer from fear have at least one unique characteristic. Unlike other illnesses, where sufferers generally try not to infect others, people in the grip of fear do their best to contaminate everyone.
Yet Marsden seems enthralled to this mindset of fear. Chapter 26, 'An Honest Look at Our Future World', begins with the bland claim:
The world is in deep trouble. We now have evidence the size and weight of Jupiter that humanity may not be capable of saving itself and its only known home, Planet Earth, from catastrophe.
The same chapter contains the asinine comment that "for thousands of years now the 'goodies' have been steadily losing ground to the 'baddies', and there is no credible evidence that this trend will be reversed in time to save the planet and its inhabitants."
If your politics are not correct you will be cancelled.
Glossing over these comments is easy as they align with the mainstream narrative. My inclination was to give Marsden the benefit of the doubt; they reflect the fact that, today, everything must be blatantly political, and if your politics are not correct you will be cancelled. Throwaway comments about environmental disaster—and mandatory, pointless, and irrelevant Trump-bashing—are part and parcel of being published in 2022. What comes next, however, reveals the totalitarian streak running through all who think the world is imperfect and only they can uproot the traditions of the past and design a new way of living:
… the number of people in the world whose values are distorted, corrupted, undeveloped, whose behaviour is often motivated by greed, rage, fear or lust and is often destructive, whose mental powers are limited to the extent that they cannot comprehend such abstract ideas as putting the collective good ahead of the individual good or the sacrifice of short-term gain for long-term benefit, whose attitudes are determined largely by faulty thinking, prejudices and perversions, is so significant that the world is moving rapidly and inevitably towards disastrous outcomes…
There are too many of these people for them to be controllable or manageable, and the empathy, sensitivity and respect for others which is well developed in many people [like Marsden] paradoxically prevents the latter from taking strict, authoritative measures to control and manage the former group.
Any illusion Marsden was paying lip service to the "woke communists", in the words of Claremont Institute chairman and writer Tom Klingenstein, was quickly shattered. Despite insisting the "six years of atrocious suffering that preceded the surrender of Nazi Germany should be seen as six years comprising a huge number of spectacular triumphs for the dark and awful forces of fascism", Marsden advocates that "there is an urgent need for governments to be more authoritative, strict and controlling". At this point Marsden finally reveals his true feelings about how democracy has been undermined, asserting we need to:
… urgently find governments which think not of popularity surveys, not of their status in marginal electorates or their prospects of retaining power at the next elections, but which are prepared to urgently pass legislation which will be highly unpopular with some—perhaps even in the short term with many.
But, as he reminds us further down the page:
… one of the bizarre distortions of government in countries which like to call themselves democratic is that those who are elected to represent the people have, for a long time now, come to regard themselves not as representatives but as leaders.
He acknowledges the blatant contradiction, but assures us without any explanation or further clarification that "there is no contradiction". That settles that.
I read Marsden's Tomorrow series in my early teens and thought they were great books. The first, Tomorrow, When The War Began (1993), tracked a group of Australian teenagers fighting back against an invading army. This young adult novel was included in the IPA's Australian Canon for its quality and the place it captured in the imagination of a generation of Australian teenagers. In 2010 this novel was made into a movie, and then in 2016 an ABC TV series.
In adulthood, I reflect on the novels as being far more important than I realised at the time. They tell a story of sacrifice and courage in the face of an invasion of Australia. A group of young Australians come to the realisation that if they want to preserve Australia and what it means to be Australian, then they must risk their lives to fight and defend it.
A lot has changed in Australia since 1993 when the first Tomorrow book was released. So, too, with Marsden's belief that we have inherited a system of government and developed a way of life worth defending.

Ceramic tile without any kind of assisted heating or using radiant heat can be profoundly cold in winter months. While there are many pros and cons of wood flooring versus tile it may actually boil down to what appearance you are actually seeking. While hardwood for many feels more comfortable or cozy underfoot, ceramic or stone can be very hard on the feet and backs (due to the denseness) especially in areas where standing for long periods of time are considered.
Depending on where you live, ceramic tile is generally lower in material costs. Installation costs in recent years have shown proper hardwood installations to be more expensive due to the amount of floor preparation that is vital to any successful long lasting floor. Tile installers generally do not pay attention to minor dips in subfloors, instead allowing more thin set to offset the differences.
Wood floors require more care not only with regular maintenance after the floor has been laid, but it can sometimes become a scheduling problem with builders. During the construction process ceramic can be installed virtually any time. It can withstand most of the everyday pounding caused by other trades that are working, providing it has been given enough time to set. Hardwood on the other hand should be installed very near the end of any work that is going on. Damaged floors prior to move in dates are often problems with builders who have very little experience working with wood flooring.
Tile and wood floors are a tossup here but does depend on what type of repair. Often with tile floors finding matching tiles can become a huge issue whereas wood floors are much easier if they're the sand and finish variety (shown). Prefinished hardwood repairs can create problems much the same as tile due to the changing design trends as products do get discontinued from time to time. Whatever is chosen, it's always wise to order more than needed and keep leftovers in a safe dry place.
Ceramic is the loser on this end when it comes to grout lines. They can become a huge issue unless they are sealed keeping stains from permanently effecting grout colors. Conversely, wood floors only require light sweeping and swiffering on a regular basis. Colors chosen for either floor type will also have an impact on the everyday cleaning needed.
For those that may reside near sandy areas or your household is not the kempt type, ceramic wins hands down on this one. Grit and sand has an adverse scratching effect on hardwood but can be reduced by using area rugs in and outside the main entry areas of the home.
Unlike hardwood when something heavy is dropped, most ceramic can chip or crack; but can vary on product and installation quality. Replacement becomes necessary. Wood floors on the other hand may show dings and dents but some often write it off as adding to the character over time.
Most hardwood floors (engineered has their limitations) can be revitalized to their original new appearance should the floors become worn, dull, scratched, or damaged extensively. As trends and color popularity changes, wood floors can change color too. Ceramic on the other hand has to be removed for the most part, but can be tiled over. Disadvantages of installing new over old can create a difference in height for other focal points of the home such as baseboard and kitchen appliances.

Russia Will Attack and Invade America – Nuclear Missile Attack – W.o.r.l.d War 3 Prediction
Amber William August 14, 2016 0 Comments

Nuclear Missile Attack, Russia Will Attack, United States and Russia, W.o.r.l.d War 3 Prediction
"Russia is getting ready to make a strategic move in the world."
As America sanctions Russia for treaty violations Russian President Vladimir Putin adjusts his country's War Doctrine.
Relations between the United States and Russia continue to falter as the two nations go head-to-head in an attempt to see who will blink first. The US has sought to punish Russia for allegedly commandeering rule in Eastern Ukraine.
In mid-December President Obama signed the Ukraine Freedom and Support Act of 2014 which initiated sanctions on Russia. The Act was only the latest in sanctions that the US and the EU have enforced on President Putin and his people. It also gives President Obama the power to increase defense services, training and equipment to the Ukrainian "rebels".
The US recently imposed a new set of sanctions against Russia in response to what they say are violations of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. The INF was signed by President Ronald Reagan with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987. The treaty removed an entire class of nuclear weapons from legal use by banning the possession, production or test-flying of a ground-launched cruise missile with a range of 300 to 3,400 miles. The US accuses Russia of having banned intermediate and advanced-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs).
In addition, the State Department announced on Monday that they were imposing sanctions on four Russian officials for human rights abuses under the Magnitsky Act. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said the sanctions were endangering " prospects for bilateral cooperation on solving the situation around the Iranian nuclear program, the Syrian crisis and other acute international problems."
One of the most troubling actions from either country came in the last days of 2014. On December 26 President Putin approved an updated war doctrine for Russia. The doctrine makes it clear that Russia will use military force to protect its citizens. The doctrine also stated that the US and NATO allied countries pose a military threat to the existence of Russia as a sovereign free nation.
Putin said Washington is to blame for the changes, with it's own war doctrine of pre-emptive attacks, deployment of anti-ballistic missiles, and buildup of NATO forces on Russia's border. Russia also acknowledged attempts at regime change through "actions aimed at violent change of the Russian constitutional order, destabilization of the political and social environment, and disorganization of the functioning of governmental bodies, crucial civilian and military facilities and informational infrastructure of Russia."
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, outlined his view of how the changes in Russia's war doctrine and unfolding economic conditions will affect the geopolitical chess board.

Russia has emerged out of the depression it was in for many years after the fall of the Soviet Union. New growth in the economy due to Russia's rich natural resources will soon bring Russia back to superpower status again. Nationalism, lawlessness, and anti-Semitism are rising today in Russia. Most of the former Soviet bloc leaders of the old Soviet Union have come back into power. Over fifty percent of the positions of power in Russia including Putin are former KGB officers.
They lament the fall of the old Soviet Union and they wish to form a new union of nations led by Russia. Putin recently announced that there will be a new Eurasian union and the expansion probably stated in 2014 with Crimea.
There is no longer freedom of speech in Russia. TV and other media are once again government controlled and enemies often end up dead. The new steps taken by Putin to regain centralized control is leading to a dictatorship.

Russia continues to modernize its nuclear weapons and to prepare underground facilities in case of war. Russia has successfully developed a new long range missile that can change directions after launch. These missiles can successfully penetrate the antimissile system shield developed by the United States.
The report is a distillation of open source academic research and evaluations and not based on internal CSIS assessments.
It does however use stark language, and warned decision-makers not to treat Putin's rearmament drive lightly.
"Russia is not modernizing its military primarily to extend its capacity to pursue hybrid warfare," the 104 page report said, referring to the Kremlin's use of irregular tactics to take over Crimea. "It is modernizing conventional military capability on a large scale; the state is mobilizing for war."
The West has primarily responded to the annexation and Moscow's support of separatists in eastern Ukraine with economic sanctions.
The prevailing wisdom is that fiscal pain will bring Putin around, but the report dismissed that notion, saying two years after war erupted in Ukraine, the Kremlin "appears to be coherent, durable and united" at the centre.
"Western assessments that Russia is vulnerable to economic collapse and disruptive internal discontent are exaggerated," said the assessment, titled 2018 Security Outlook.
"Russia is adapting to adversity; the economy is deliberately tilted to security rather than economic freedom."
Russia also has strategic ties to regional Islamic countries. Russia is actively aiding Iran in building nuclear power plants that will give Iran nuclear material for nuclear weapons. The Arab/Islamic countries have one common enemy and at some point they will try to rid themselves of the Israeli presence with Russia as their protector. The prophecies in Ezekiel 38 and 39 indicate that God will put a hook in the jaw of Russia and bring her down against the land of Israel in the latter years. The hook could very well be the defense pacts and economic agreements that Russia has established with Syria, Iran, and other Islamic nations. In the battle described in Ezekiel, Russia will be the leader of a regional coalition against Israel.
The United States had been dismantling its nuclear capability as if Russia were no longer a world threat but Russia's nuclear submarine and missile capability has been modernized and is quite capable of destroying the United States or any adversary. Scripture says that this army from the north will be splendidly attired. This could mean that they will be equipped with every conceivable weapon. Russia still has a large population of educated scientists that could develop formidable military weapons very quickly if that becomes their paramount concern and national focus.
World War 3 – 2016 RUSSIA prepares for WAR. When Russia's defense minister announced plans for training exercises near U.S. borders, he linked them specifically to tensions over Ukraine, telling the U.S. in effect: If you meddle in our backyard, we'll meddle in yours. David Martin reports from the Pentagon.

Some think the United States and Russia are no longer a threat to each other, yet Russia almost always takes a position that is contrary to the national security interests of the United States. Russia exports nuclear technology and advanced weapons of war that they know will be used against the United States, Israel, and the West. Russia has a world agenda that willfully arms rogue dictators to carry out warfare against the West. The major world powers enabling Islamic nations confessing hatred toward the United States are Russia and China. Although Russia and Western leaders announced the end of the cold war after the fall of the Soviet Union the recent actions and rhetoric of Russia indicate that the cold war continues.
Steve Quayle – W.o.r.l.d War 3 Prediction. For the past seven years, Quayle has articulated the need for Americans to be aware of bioterrorism and weapons of mass destruction. Upon publication of Breathe No Evil, Quayle upstaged mainstream media by years spelling out detailed effects of bioterrorism. Prior to publication of Breathe No Evil, Quayle went on record predicting a major chemical or biological attack in a large world city. Three weeks later, the Aum Shinrikyo cult released nerve gas in the Tokyo subway.
Steve continues to shout from the rooftops, his concern for the massive loss of life due to lack of civil defense and preparation in the public and private sectors. Breathe No Evil was written as an antidote for fear informing people of the necessary steps to take prior to biological and chemical terrorism.
The following are some of the more dramatic events Quayle identified long before mainstream news even had a clue:
Stated in 1997 that the following year would bring unprecedented temperatures approaching 130o. In June 1998, India hit 129o.
Declared one year prior to the micro burst that touched down in Root National Forest near Steamboat Springs, CO that we would see winds approaching 350 MPH. Scientists said wind speeds of this magnitude were not possible. Two hundred year old trees over a 30 mile stretch snapped like matches. Scientists estimated that the jet stream was forced down for a split second wreaking devastation equaled only to the Tunguska meteor strike.
Quayle was the first to detail for the public "Gabriel's Fist" – an asteroid coming toward earth out of Pegasus and on a near-collision course with earth, and how the world's brightest scientists met monthly to discuss their plans of when to inform the American people. This event has them quaking in their boots.
Quayle was one of the first radio talk show guests to describe the introduction of hoof and mouth disease into Taiwan which resulted in the total destruction of their hog industry.
Quayle continued to sound the alarm concerning China's theft of nuclear secrets from the US by interviewing Sam Cohen, inventor of the neutron bomb.
He was the first to go public with "Red Mercury" – a trans mutated element that makes softball-sized neutron weapons feasible. Quayle also spelled out in great detail prior to Russian General Alexander Lebed's statements confirming that more than 100 suitcase nuclear weapons were missing.
At inception, Quayle warned about the spread of new water borne pathogens and mutations occurring in Earth's oceans due to excreted pharmaceuticals from human waste.
Quayle detailed with remarkable accuracy, the possession of weapons of mass destruction that Libya, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Syria and Cuba possess.
Quayle has stated for several years that the US would eventually have to occupy Saudi Arabia since they joined an anti-US confederation of Arab countries.
In 1999, Quayle stated that a new terrorist crusade would begin and that radical Islam would launch the world into World War III.
Steve is uncannily accurate in his warnings concerning hybrid and genetically engineered viruses and the danger they pose to humans.

The success of USB has been achieved by ensuring a consistent, reliable and enjoyable consumer experience. Translated, this means USB devices "just work." Consumers have come to expect a USB device to become quickly available and usable when attached to the bus. Now, with USB expanding into an ever widening array of applications and industries, it is important to continue to meet the consumer's expectations regarding USB in these new applications.
The USB-IF enforces a "no silent failure" rule. This means that an implementation of USB must not appear broken to the consumer. In configurations where the consumer's expectations are not met, either the peripheral or host must provide appropriate and useful feedback to the consumer regarding the problem.
Embedded hosts are, by definition, limited in capabilities. Should a consumer attach, to an embedded USB host, a USB peripheral that is not supported, nothing will happen. Without appropriate messaging, frustration and negative experience can occur as the consumer attempts to troubleshoot why the peripheral does not work. In this example, the embedded host would be the device to display an appropriate message informing the user that the device is not supported. Thus, embedded hosts are required to communicate a message to the consumer when an attached peripheral is not supported. The message should be specific and helpful for the consumer.
High-speed devices are required to enumerate and operate when attached to a full-speed port. However, there are some devices that require bandwidth far greater than 12Mbps making them useless at full-speed. Examples include high-speed video cameras that stream uncompressed, high resolution content. Without appropriate messaging, the consumer would either see garbled video or no video at all with such a camera attached at full-speed. In this example, the camera would be the device responsible for displaying an appropriate message to the consumer.
Different messages for hubs and non-hubs are required. If the attached peripheral is a hub, the embedded host must be able to display a message indicating that the attached hub is not supported. Care should be taken to distinguish between standalone hubs and compound peripherals. If an unsupported hub is attached, the embedded host should read bit D2 the wHubCharacteristics field of the hub descriptor and display the appropriate message in case the attached hub is part of a compound peripheral.
Please see http://compliance.usb.org/index.asp?UpdateFile=Policies&Format=Standard#15 for information regarding the use of OTG building blocks in embedded hosts.
The USB-IF has been working with various manufacturers who are integrating USB Embedded Host products into automobiles. Some of these embedded hosts may use, as the downstream port, a proprietary derivative of a USB connector in a location that is not customer accessible. In such cases, a cable harness is used to present the downstream port as a USB Standard-A receptacle for customer access.
The automotive USB embedded host cannot be certified without the cable harness because it does not offer the appropriate receptacle. The USB-IF has agreed with the automotive manufacturers to allow certification of the USB embedded host along with the actual cable harness with which it would be installed. Automotive embedded hosts may be submitted for certification along with the cable (harness) that will be used in the final installation and the certification will apply to the device and cable together.
In-dash automotive embedded hosts are still subject to the requirements defined in the "Embedded Host Compliance Plan" with the exceptions outlined in this update.
Since an automotive manufacturer will typically implement the USB embedded host in several different vehicle models, and since it is likely that those different vehicles will each require a different cabling layout, the USB-IF has further agreed to allow manufacturers to submit the USB device with the longest and shortest cable harnesses from the same manufacturer to be used, and that would qualify a passing product to be eligible to use the logo with both of those cables and with any intermediate length cables of a similar style and manufacturer.
Manufacturers are highly encouraged to limit cable lengths to a meter or less in order to obtain the best signal quality. The use of hub electronics at the location where the Standard-A receptacle is presented to the user is encouraged to provide the highest reliability.
The USB-IF started the certification program for embedded hosts in 2006. Since then embedded hosts can be found in most televisions, set-top boxes and many printers.
In 2012, the USB-IF published a new specification for embedded hosts which is part of the OTG specification. The Embedded Host v2.0 Supplement and compliance procedure can be downloaded from the USB-IF OTG webpage at http://www.usb.org/developers/onthego/<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> .
This is a notice that in June, 2013, the USB-IF will begin requiring all embedded hosts to comply with the v2.0 Emedded Host Supplement.


In case you have followed my blog for sometime, you must have come across ways I style different things in. I love it and that basically was why I started the blog in the first place.
Shirts are my favourite when it comes to these styling extravaganzas. I have already done some stories on styling a shirt. In case you missed, here you go MY TRYST WITH A BOYFRIEND SHIRT!, ONE SHIRT FIVE WAYS; REVISITED!!.
But recently I came across a view that people felt that these styling experiments can only be done with basic, plain, and in other words, boring shirts. Today, we are proving that wrong.
I am a strong, independent woman.
Good bags are a luxury!
It took me about 20 years to realise how important bags could be. I always though clothes and shoes matter, but accessories and bags? Not so much. What an idiot! Good bags and accessories can take any look from rags to riches and I understand now.
In the last year I have invested more in bags than anything else. From just two bags that I would carry around everyday, I now have types of bags. Yes 'types'! From totes, to clutches, to bagpacks and all other names I am not even aware of.
Quirky bags have been the talk of the town for quite sometime now. Don't we all just love them? Bags shaped as so many things, from a ball to an icecream cone, from lips to a huge eye! Everything's possible. Sometimes they also come in rad prints that will suddenly make you famous in the next party you attend.
How To: Sympathise with Jumpsuits!
This might be the millionth time I am saying this but clothes have the power to make me feel how I want to feel. Now it may differ from people to people but there are a certain things in life that make us happier. For some it might be the weather, the sight of their partner, for me it definitely is clothes and shoes. (Oh and dogs too!).

Q: EmberJS and REST I have an ember-data model post.
import DS from "ember-data";

var attr = DS.attr,
    belongsTo = DS.belongsTo,
    hasMany = DS.hasMany;

Post = DS.Model.extend({
  title: attr('string'),
  url: attr('string'),
  text: attr('string'),
  userId: attr('number'),
  createdAt: attr('date'),
  updatedAt: attr('date'),
  user: belongsTo('user', async: true),
  comments: hasMany('comment', async: true),
  comments_length: attr('number')
});

export default Post;

It gets data from /api/posts.
Also, I have comments and when comment is added, post is updated.
I can get last updated posts at /api/posts/last_updated.
How to do this properly at EmberJS?

A: I would suggest using query params to do that.
You could do something like
store.find('post',{last_updated: true}).then(function(promiseResult){//...});

Also depending on your ember-data version, you might need to use query instead of find, because the API changed recently
This way your backend would expect a query like /api/posts?last_updated=true

A: I used ember-data-actions for this. It's a good solution, but not perfect.

When Maichao Lor, a licensed family child care provider, moved to Wausau years ago, she saw that as a child care provider whose primary language was Hmong, accessing the same supports, trainings, and information that English speaking providers in her area had, was a challenge. As she met other Hmong speaking child care providers, she saw that they faced similar barriers in navigating the child care field. In 1997 she responded to that shared need by starting a support group for Hmong child care providers called the Story Teller Network Support Group. Eighteen years later her group still exists, and is now nearly 30 members strong.
These providers, all in family child care, meet once a month to discuss things like meeting licensing standards, completing necessary paperwork and business documents, and attaining training requirements. The group also offers a venue for Hmong providers to get to know others in their field who struggle with some of the same obstacles that they do, so that they can give one another feedback and advice.
Childcaring, Inc., the local Child Care Resource & Referral agency in Maichao's area, sees the value in this the support group. In response they have put some of their available resources towards supporting the group's efforts. Childcaring staff member, Kao Xiong, attends the monthly provider meetings, and thanks to a YoungStar Diversity grant, Childcaring is able to supply the group with resources, supplies, provider trainings in Hmong at a free or discounted rate, and other supports.
Childcaring recently had an increase in their YoungStar diversity funding, permitting Kao to add on hours so that she can spend time one on one with Hmong providers, allowing her to provide more individualized technical consultation and answers their questions. This also puts her in a prime position to view their child care environments, so that she can offer any quality improvement tips that may be helpful to the provider's success.
Word of mouth within the Hmong community played a key role in establishing the group, but it is their mutual support and solid relationships that sustain it.
"The group comes together and we brainstorm what we need," said Maichao. That can be anything from a relevant group field trip to practicing a craft or activity for the kids, to sharing some of their holiday meals together, which, added Micki, is a real bonding experience.
Support groups such as Maichao's exist throughout the early childhood field, some focusing on family child care providers, some on non-English speaking providers, and others an open forum for all providers. But there are still many areas throughout Wisconsin that do not currently have a support group of this sort to benefit providers, leaving room for more groups to be established.
"I think that if any one provider were interested and has the passion and energy to start up a group, their CCR&R would be the place to start," stated Micki, citing their connections with different groups throughout the community, including potential funders.
Maichao agrees that retaining funding and community support is a good place to start, but it is also about building the responsibility and engagement of your members to sustain the group.
"Spread out the work," advised Maichao. "Put out three or four positive standards that will help the support group… whatever meets their needs." Such as setting a monthly meeting, planned trainings and activities, and even setting modest member dues, like Maichao's group does. Give members and potential members a sense of commitment to the group by getting them to invest and engage.
