Jeff Halpren Camp 2012 | NOVA Cool Cats Special Hockey, Inc.
Tommy Nystrom, 12, poses for a photo with Jeff Halpern after receiving an autograph from the former Capitals center.
Jeff Halpern may no longer be a member of the Capitals, but from the cheers he received inside Kettler Capitals Iceplex last week you'd never know it.
Halpern spent his mornings last week skating with former teammates at the Capitals' training complex.
After each of those informal workouts, Halpern took time to chat with players from the Cool Cats, a hockey team for kids with special needs that conducted a weeklong camp at Kettler.
"He's such a nice guy," said Lisa Gasparott of Alexandria, whose 16-year-old son, Sami, plays on the Cool Cats. "On Tuesday Jeff got on the ice and did some drills with the kids. Then he asked if he could come in and give out autographs.
Randy Brawley of Sterling started the Cool Cats program in 2004 after refereeing a hockey tournament for special needs players in Laurel, Md. Since then his program has grown to two teams and 50 players, ranging in age from 5 to 28.
Gasparott said several Capitals have visited with the Cool Cats over the years, including Mike Knuble, Eric Fehr and John Erskine.

BFS settles dispute with Justice Department, National Guardsman
WASHINGTON (April 11)—Bridgestone/Firestone has voluntarily settled a lawsuit with the Justice Department and an Army National Guardsman who works for the tire maker at its LaVergne, Tenn., headquarters facility.
The unnamed Guardsman, who was on active duty from December 2002 to March 2004, sought the advance on the company's progressive pay scale he said he deserved, rather than being brought back at the same wage he was paid before he left. The Justice Department took up the Guardsman's cause under claims that the tire maker violated the Uniformed Services Employment and Re-Employment Act of 1994.
BFS is paying the guardsman about $6,000 in back wages and also changing its policy affecting about six other National Guardsmen who work for the company, a BFS spokesman said.


For your visa, permit or registration with the council you may need one or more legalised documents, for example your birth certificate. You need to arrange this before your departure to Holland.
Legalisation is the verification that a document has been issued by the relevant authority and that the signature on the document is that of the signatory. Once a foreign document has been legalised, the Dutch authorities consider it to be legally valid in the Netherlands.
Legalisation has to take place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country where the document was issued as well as at the Dutch embassy or consulate in that same country.
If the country that issued your document has signed the Apostille Convention, your document does not require legalisation by the Dutch embassy or consulate. In these cases an 'apostille' will be sufficient. Contact the designated authority in the relevant country for further information on how to obtain an apostille.
You can find more information on legalising your documents on the website of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Q: Springboot Webclient throws readtimeout errors Spring Webclient throws lot of read timeouts (on load of 1000 requests per second). I am using Springboot version 2.1.1.RELEASE. Please find the code below and if I am missing any configuration, let me know:
@Bean
public WebClient webClient() {
    return WebClient.builder().build();
}

public Mono<String> post(String url, JSONObject body) {

    Mono<String> result = webClient.post().uri(url)
            .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
            .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8)
            .body(BodyInserters.fromObject(body))
            .exchange()
            .flatMap { clientResponse ->
        return handleResponse(clientResponse)
    }
    return result;
}

private Mono<String> handleResponse(ClientResponse clientResponse) {
         if (clientResponse.statusCode().is4xxClientError() || clientResponse.statusCode().is5xxServerError()) {
            return clientResponse.bodyToMono(String.class)
                    .flatMap { errorBody ->
                return Mono.error(new CustomException(errorBody, clientResponse.statusCode().value()))
            }
        } else {
            return clientResponse.bodyToMono(String.class);
        }
    }

A: As said on the Spring Framework issue you've opened (thanks for that!), this doesn't seem to be a bug in Framework.
The confusion comes from the fact that when running multiple web client requests concurrently and adding the log operator on the reactive pipeline to get more information, the logs make you think that the read timeout is triggered even though the request was just made.
If I remember correctly, the suffix number you're seeing in the logs like reactor.Mono.SwitchIfEmpty.48759 is tied to the subscriber.
In your case, this means that
13:55:50.287 [reactor-http-nio-6] INFO reactor.Mono.MapFuseable.49127 - | request(unbounded)

and
13:55:50.312 [reactor-http-nio-6] ERROR reactor.Mono.SwitchIfEmpty.48759 - onError(

are not about the same HTTP requests. Reactor is scheduling tasks on worker threads, so when you're seeing things happening sequentially on the same thread, it doesn't mean those units of work are being done for the same subscriber.
If you follow the subscriber id in the logs, you should see that the amount of time between requesting the data and not getting is about 5 seconds.
Not on that last point, I've created a Reactor HTTP server that sends the response body after 10 seconds:
HttpServer.create().host("localhost").port(8080).handle((req, res) -> {
    return res.sendString(Flux.just("Hello")
        .delayElements(Duration.ofSeconds(10)), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
}).bindNow().onDispose().block();

And a WebClient that fetches this data:
String response = WebClient.create().get().uri("http://localhost:8080/")
    .retrieve().bodyToMono(String.class).log().block();
System.out.println(response);

I'm not getting any read timeout. So something in your application must be configuring such a timeout.

I just wanted to say a BIG 'Thank you' today for all the help and support that you have given to us. I appreciate the quick response that your company provides and the great level of service. Without you supporting our business, we would certainly be in a mess. Thank you.


Mike cleans the inside of his boat out to get ready for the next days work. Next we will need to fair the screw holes in the top deck and other goodies.
Mike is at it again. Here he is sanding more body filler fairing it all in. I got to give him credit. He just keeps going and going despite the high mid 90's temperatures we are having.
With all the screw holes filled and the delaminated veneer sanded out and faired back in with bondo, we went ahead and covered all the below water seams with 3M 5200. The 5200 was not called for in the plans, but the Stevenson's do recommend it in their weekender video. So I figured it could not hurt anything and would definitely make the boat water tight.
Here is another shot of the seams. Getting all the way in the fore peek area was tough. Just a word of caution, 5200 is messy! Now for those wondering, I bought two 10 oz tubes from Jamestown Distributors. I used all of one and a little of the second. Truthfully, if you are neat with the stuff, you probably could get by with just one tube. Once opend, it has a short life (12-24 hours) before it needs to be used. It is kind of expensive so decide for yourself. 1 lump or 2!
With the under water seams covered with the 5200, we started on the inner rub rails next. These bend on and glue quite easily. Now they are supposed to be screwed on, but we attached them with small brads. I am sure the glue will hold them just fine.
Here is another view of the inner rub rails. I think it really does a lot to give the boat a finished look.
Lastly, the top of the transom has been attached. I keep calling it a taft rail but perhaps I am wrong. Now a couple of things to point out. In the plans the sides were supposed to come up above the deck further than what Mike's did. We struggled with the sides for whatever reason. Our solution was to get the outer top rub rail in position trying to give a fair sheer line, then cut the remaining bit to the top of the rail. As a result, the top of the transom had to be adjusted accordingly. We reduced the height so it would not look so odd sitting there.

'Why On Earth Would Any Senator Vote for a Bill That Causes 22 Million People to Lose Their Health Insurance?' Connecticut Senator Murphy asks.
Posted on June 27, 2017 by joecantlupe
As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell counts the dwindling number of GOP votes for the Republican healthcare bill, the Congressional Budget Office tallied the potential losses — of insurance coverage for millions of people. Oh, the entire population of 13 states, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) says, calling the measure a "humanitarian disaster."
Sure, it gets rid of Obamacare and its problems, but the proposed GOP Senate healthcare bill makes everything else worse, Murphy said on the Senate floor last night.
At least 22 more Americans would lose coverage under the Republicans' Senate bill, with an estimated 49 million uninsured by 2026, the CBO report released yesterday says. That compares to 28 million lacking insurance that year under the current Obamacare.
The House bill said one million more in the U.S. would lose coverage.
Premiums would go through the roof, especially for the poor and elderly. Medicaid takes a huge hit under the Senate bill, the report says. Remember President Trump's vow to keep it intact He wanted less meanness, more heart?
"The largest savings would come from reductions in outlays for Medicaid – spending on the program would decline in 2026 by 26 percent in comparison with what CBO projects under current law," the report says.
Are the Republicans courting disaster for themselves and the populace? More GOP Senators say they are against or hedging against the bill. The measure is teetering at best. McConnell is the ringleader of the bill. (Interestingly, the Daily Beast reports that a free government clinic helped save McConnell's life years ago…..oh that government!)
"This CBO score should be the last straw for Republicans," Murphy said in a statement. "Why are on earth would any senator vote for a bill that causes 22 million to lose their health care, drives up healthcare premiums, and reduces the quality of care people receive?"
"This bill is a humanitarian disaster and now CBO has confirmed this fact. Republicans should scrap this monstrosity of a bill and sit down with Democrats to craft a better path forward for our country's health care system," Murphy said.
Next year alone, 15 more people would be uninsured under the proposed Senate bill than under Obamacare, mostly because the penalty for not having insurance would be eliminated, the CBO says. The number of uninsured would increase to 19 million in 2020, and 22 million in 2026. It would then increase in subsequent years.
The Senate plan would reduce the deficit by $320 billion through 2017, at least $220 billion more than the estimated savings of the House bill, the report says.

9-Year-Old Girl Raises $15,000 to Make Video Game
Fidel Martinez for The Daily Dot 2013-03-23 01:07:03 UTC
Follow @dailydot
Finally, some good news concerning females in technology.
In the same week that people lost their minds over the Donglegate and upon learning that a woman is behind the popular Facebook page "I F*cking Love Science," the Internet redeemed itself somewhat after throwing its collective support behind a Kickstarter campaign that'll help a 9-year-old girl build her very own role-playing game.
With the help of her mother Susan, Mackenzie Wilson—she goes by Kenzie— turned to the popular crowdfunding site to raise $829, enough money to cover her entrance fee to RPG STEM Camp, a program where kids learn the necessary skills to build their own video games.
According to her video, the third grader hopes to build an RPG that's free of inappropriate language and violence and that "allows team members to face danger together and get hurt but doesn't kill teammates off and eliminates them from battle."
Kenzie notes in her project page that she wants to get a headstart in technology thanks in large part to her entrepreneur mom.
"My parents are into technology as users but my Mom has to hire programmers and developers sometimes for her work," she notes. "She's really glad I like computers and programming because she says as a business person she feels like she's held hostage by developers.
"She's the one that got me interested in creating my own stuff on my computer instead of just playing with stuff other people create."
Also serving as motivation were her two older brothers, teenage haters who don't think she's capable of raising the money, much less actually make a game.
They're wrong at least in one accord. In the two days since the campaign was launched, 844 backers have pledged $15,499. That's more than enough to send Kenzie to camp all summer long and to purchase a new laptop. On top of that, Adobe has agreed to give the 9-year-old a complimentary subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud to help Kenzie in her noble pursuit.
It's not just Kenzie's older brothers drinking the haterade. Some Kickstarter commenters are cautioning other backers that this might be a scam.
"I think many of you are missing some very suspicious things regarding this Kickstarter," writes backer Corey Brinn. "First the Kickstarter rules themselves say that you can't Kickstart for tuition, a camera, etc and all these things are basically what the Kickstarter is for.
"Also check out the mothers linkedin. She's a Harvard grad amongst many other things that needs to raise money to send her child to camp? The video also has a 9 year old girl saying she will basically have to rely on 'sugar daddy's' multiple times if she is unable to go to camp? These are all very suspicious things in my opinion. I've reported the Kickstarter so they can look into it further. It smells like a scam that is using 'the cute factor' to real people in....'"
The backlash has been loud enough that Susan Wilson responded in an update, noting that she will be posting a video showing off her entire family.
Negativity aside, it's refreshing to see the Internet put its pettiness away long enough to make a little girl's dream a reality.

…Orchard Point Group has been a very valuable partner for UCB. They have assisted in the launch of several different initiatives. Their partnering with me specifically has included: project management, vendor management, product management, and strategic planning. Orchard Point has consistently provided excellent, timely service at an affordable cost.
Orchard Point Group provides consulting and vendor management services to UCB. Specifically, Orchard Point has helped us with our patient services initiatives including co-pay assistance programs.

Our company was expanding into new markets and industry categories, and our growing sales team needed promotional pieces written in a consistent voice across new verticals to help us call on those new prospects. We've developed materials for our clients for over 20 years, but since our internal team was busy supporting our clients' needs (client work comes first!), we lacked bandwidth to develop new materials for ourselves. I knew who to call, because I've worked with them in the past – Orchard Point!
The OPG specialist quickly learned our business, interviewed our sales staff to identify core selling points, wrote persuasive content and got it approved by our C-suite management, then collaborated seamlessly with our in-house designer to create industry-specific '1-page teasers' and multiple in-depth digital presentations. OPG nimbly crafted exactly what we needed in a short period of time, delivering a magical combination of marketing expertise and efficient execution. With OPG, you get pinpoint resources, they get the job done, and wrap up the assignment with a smile!
Orchard Point Group's organizational/project management skills plus consumer/CRM expertise were highly valued. This allowed them to come in "running" and able to become an integral part of the extended brand team. Could not have done it without them. OPG is my dream team! They are lifesavers!

As the installer, you are responsible for submitting the rebate application and required paperwork for your customer or for yourself if you are a self-installer.
Single-family rebates are applied for and paid after system installation and inspection by the appropriate authority having jurisdiction. All systems are required to get a permit from the appropriate city or county. Rebates are calculated based on expected performance for the specific SWH system. Program calculators are publicly available and embedded in the application database. A check will be sent to the payee indicated on the Incentive Claim Form after all documents are approved and a program inspection is completed (if required).
Single-family applications are approved in a one-step process. The contractor submits the necessary documentation to the CSI-Thermal application database after the SWH system has been installed and inspected by the local building department. Program staff will review the application for accuracy, and if all the information is correct, the application will either be approved for payment or sent to inspection.
Multifamily and commercial solar water heating and solar pool systems also receive a one-time payment after the system has been installed and inspected. Rebates are calculated based on expected performance for the specific SWH system. Program calculators are publicly available and embedded into the application database.
Multifamily and commercial systems that involve other end uses (e.g., process heat) will receive a performance-based incentive that is paid based on metered data over two years.
Once the rebate application is complete and submitted online through an automated database, we proceed with the following application processing. For multifamily and commercial properties, applications are approved in a two-step process. Once a contract agreement has been signed, the contractor may submit an application to reserve rebate funding for the project. This application will be reviewed, and if approved, the contractor will have 18 months to complete the project and submit the Incentive Claim Package before the reserved rebate funding is released. Once installation is complete, the contractor will have the opportunity to edit the project information to reflect the "as-built" specs before submitting for final program review. For more information and resources, review our CSI-Thermal Installer Guide.
Once the application is approved and the inspection completed (if necessary), the check will be mailed to the payee indicated on the Incentive Claim Form within 30 days.
Who do I Contact if I'm Having Technical Trouble?
The following guidelines and videos provide guidance on how to complete an application for rebates through the CSI-Thermal Program in SDG&E territory.
Energy audit instructions and where to find information on residential energy use can be found under the SDG&E Energy Survey.
The video "Online Energy Survey for Business" provides additional audit instructions after logging into your SDG&E account.
These San Diego-area properties have taken advantage of CSI-Thermal rebates to install solar water heating.
From program handbook to market profiles, prepare your business for installing solar hot water systems.

AtriCure has announced that the first patient has been treated in the HEAL-IST trial, evaluating the safety and effectiveness of AtriCure's Isolator Synergy Clamp for the treatment of drug-refractory patients diagnosed with inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST). The first patient was treated by Mark LaMeir and Carlo de Asmundis at University Hospital Brussels, Brussels, Belgium.
Sinus tachycardia normally occurs when the body sends out signals to make the heart beat faster, such as when some people experience stress or physical exertion during exercise. When it happens unexpectedly or for no easily identifiable reason, the condition is called inappropriate sinus tachycardia.
The HEAL-IST trial is a prospective, multicentre, single-arm study of 142 patients at up to 40 centres in the USA and Europe. The therapy being studied involves a hybrid epicardial and endocardial procedure, during which a cardiac surgeon and an electrophysiologist work together to create lesions on the right side of the heart.
The primary effectiveness endpoint is freedom from IST, defined as having a mean heart rate of less than 90 beats per minute, or at least a 15% reduction in mean heart rate compared to a pre-operative baseline. The primary safety endpoint is procedure or device related adverse events through 30 days after the surgery is completed.
"Symptomatic IST is a serious arrhythmia that dramatically decreases the quality of life in predominantly younger adults, and more specifically, young women," said LaMeir, co-principal investigator in the HEAL-IST trial. "Further, since current antiarrhythmic drug treatment has limited long-term effect, and societal guidelines do not advise sinus node ablation or modulation, this landmark study of sinus node sparing hybrid ablation has the potential to establish a standard of care for these patients."
"We believe that cardiac surgeons and electrophysiologists working together is a safe and highly effective way to treat complex arrhythmias," said Michael Carrel, president and chief eexecutive Officer of AtriCure. "The HEAL-IST trial is an example of AtriCure's commitment to, and leadership in improving the lives of patients. The therapy has the potential to significantly expand our addressable markets."
"IST is a common disease that is often under or misdiagnosed," said Dr. de Asmundis, Professor and Director of Heart Rhythm Management at University Hospital Brussels, and co-principal investigator in the trial. "There are currently no approved treatments for this disease. The HEAL-IST trial, which is based on years of research from our clinic, has a chance to prove how successful this procedure can be."

Officials have banned swords, poles, mace and other dangerous objects from central Charlottesville, which will be accessible through only two checkpoints.
Charlottesville and parts of Northern Virginia will be under a state of emergency through the weekend because of possible unrest on the one-year anniversary of a white supremacist rally that left one person dead.
The governor cast the declaration as an "administrative tool" to mobilize resources as warranted in case of unrest. The order also allows Virginia National Guard to assist in security efforts.
The August 12, 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville by neo-nazi and white supremacist groups drew strong counter-protesters. The rally, organized to protest plans to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee from downtown park, quickly deteriorated into clashes, prompting officials to declare the event illegal.
One counter protester, 32-year-old Heather Heyer, was killed when a self-proclaimed white supremacist rammed a crowd of activists at high speed. James Alex Fields Jr., of Ohio, faces murder charges in Heyer's death.
Two Virginia state troopers also died in the crash of their helicopter during the events.
Charlottesville's Interim City Manager Mike Murphy said the city had "learned many lessons" from last year's clashes and were taking pre-emptive measures to put controls and resources in place to avoid a repeat.
He told reporters Wednesday that central Charlottesville would be be accessible by only two entry points. One goal, he said, was to separate cars and pedestrians in the central part of the city.
He also announced a ban on a large number of items in the restricted zone, including swords, axes, poles, mace, explosives and fireworks. Masks are also prohibited. Handguns, however, will not be banned, because of state and federal gun rights law, officials said.
The far-right organizer of last year's event, Jason Kessler, dropped a court challenge last month in his attempt to obtain a permit to hold a "Unite the Right 2" rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12.
Instead, he and his organization plan to hold a rally with several hundred people at a park across form the White House. Although Charlottesville is a three-hour drive from the nation's capital, city officials and opponents of any repeat rally in Charlottesville fear that some protesters may still show up in town or in parts of Northern Virginia.

A capital gain may be short term (one year or less) or long term (more than a year). The capital gain must be claimed on income taxes. While capital gains are generally associated with stocks and mutual funds due to their volatility, a capital gain can occur on any security sold for a higher price than the price that was paid for it. Unrealized gains and losses, sometimes referred to as paper gains and losses, reflect an increase or decrease in an investment's value but haven't yet triggered a taxable event.
How about on businesses? What are capital gains and losses for a business? A business may gain or lose money in two ways: It can make a profit on its sales activities or lose money by spending more than it brings in from sales. And, of course, it can gain or lose money based on its investments or sales of assets — items of value that the business owns.
Each type is taxed differently. Profits are taxed as ordinary income and at regular business or personal tax rates. Gains or losses on investments or the sale of assets are taxed as capital gains or losses, but it can depend on the type of business. When expensive equipment is involved, businesses have to consider depreciation, which takes into account the equipment's declining value over its useful lifetime.
Individual shareholders or business owners who sell their capital shares or owner's equity in a business also incur capital gains or losses from those sales. Note the following distinction: Operating profits and losses result from the ongoing operations of the business; sometimes called net operating losses for tax purposes, they result from day-to-day operations.
Whether you're buying or selling as an individual or as a business, be sure to keep track of your sales and discuss them with a qualified financial professional.


When deciding to put your property on sale, there would be few things to consider in order to optimize its value.
First, we would give you a full analysis of the current market. If not in a rush for sale, there are some periods of the year more suitable for sales and some other events may have an important impact on the evolution of a property.
Most of the real estate professionals would ask you to sign an exclusive mandate for sale where it will be stated the designation of your property, the price you would like to sell and its conditions.
Once signed, the agency will be able to properly market your property via several media (magazines, newspapers, videos, social media) by using professional photos made by our photograph.
If the agency finds you a Buyer, the Transaction Procedure will start and as soon as the Buyer Offer is signed there are high chances the deal will go through as we systematically ask a 10% deposit along with the offer. In the case the Buyer wishes to withdraw from the sale, the 10% deposit would be yours.
There is no transaction cost when you sell but the agency fee of 5% (+20% VAT) of the transaction value.

The War Song Series
FOLLOW THE MUSIC
Laci Barry Post
Never Forget. Never Again.
This past week I have been reading first-hand accounts from soldiers who helped liberate concentration camps in Germany. These two accounts below will truly make your heart sick and proud of these American soldiers' part in the war. An estimated six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis during World War II.
"We visited a German political internment camp. The camp had been liberated only two days and the condition of the camp has changed very little. The American Red Cross just arrived.
The inmates consisted of mostly Jews, some Russians, Poles and there were six American pilots that they shot almost immediately.
When we first walked in we saw all these creatures that were supposed to be men. They were dressed in black and white suits, heads shaved and starving to death. Malnutrition was with every one of them.
We met one of them that could speak English so he acted as a guide for us. First we saw a German monument that stated 51,600 died in this camp in three years. They were proud of it. Second we went in the living barracks. Six sq. ft. per six people. Hard wood slats six ft. high. Then we went down through rows of barbed wire to a building where they purposely infected these people with disease. Human guinea pigs for German medics.
In this medical building were exhibits of human heads in jars and tattooed human flesh or skin on the walls.
After that we went up to the torture dept. Here were beating devices that I won't explain. The clubs, by the way, are still lying there with blood on them. In another room in this building were 8 cremator furnaces. The doors were open and in one I noticed one body ½ done. A horrible sight. After I snapped a few pictures I walked out side and noticed a truck with 50 naked bodys piled up six deep. Turning my head away from that I looked over against the wall and here were about 30 more. Their eyes open, their mouths open, blue, purple, cut and some with holes in them.
The guide told us that he lived with some of these men for years. He said most of them died with-in the past 24 hrs. In fact a Red Cross man told us they were dying like flys. Nothing can be done for them. It's too late. They are much too far gone.
There is another place I never told you about. The latrine. I won't tell you about it, because you won't believe me. It's unbelievable."
1st Lt. James Carroll Jordan writing to his wife about the Buchenwald Concentration Camp, War Letters.
"You have heard the stories over the radio – I don't want to add much more – the most striking picture I saw was the 'death train' – I saw picture, no not picture, but carload and carload full of corpses, once upon a time people who were alive, who were happy and people who had convictions or were jews – then slowly but methodically they were killed. Death has an ugly face on these people – they were starved to death – the positions they were lying in show that they succumbed slowly – they made one move, fell, were too weak to make another move, and there are hundreds of such lifeless skeletons covered by some skin."
1st Lt. Fritz Schnaittacher, a German-born Jew serving with the U.S. Army writing to his wife about the Dachau Concentration Camp, War Letters.

Dawn Editorial 5 January 2021
Hazara miners' slaughter
HORROR has revisited the beleaguered Shia Hazara community once again. Early Sunday morning, 11 coal miners, all residents of Quetta's Hazara Town, were barbarically slain in Balochistan's mountainous Bolan district in an attack claimed by the militant Islamic State group. The men were apparently asleep in their mudbrick dwelling close by the mine that they worked when the assailants burst in, held them at gunpoint, and bound and blindfolded them.
Then, in an orgy of bestial violence, they slit the victims' throats. Some bodies also bore gunshot wounds. Prime Minister Imran Khan condemned the massacre as "yet another cowardly inhumane act of terrorism" and ordered the Frontier Corps to apprehend the killers. Further, he assured the victims' families that the government would not abandon them.
No doubt Mr Khan's words are well-intentioned. The bitter reality, however, is that the state has long abandoned the Shia Hazaras. In a cynically calculated move, it decided to turn a blind eye to violent extremists' depredations against the community in the province as long as these murderous groups also served to counter the Baloch insurgency that began during Gen Musharraf's regime. As a result, nowhere in Balochistan are the Hazaras safe, except for their barricaded ghettoes in Quetta. They have been blown up in suicide bombings and gunned down in the streets, their graveyards filling up with victims, many of them heartbreakingly young. On the cusp of life, these innocents paid the ultimate price for the state's monumental folly. As for the survivors, their livelihoods, educational opportunities, etc have been eviscerated. Those who can have sought asylum overseas.
While large-scale attacks like those in the first half of 2013 — that together massacred over 200 Hazaras and left more than 500 wounded — have not recurred, mainly because the community has isolated itself within two secure enclaves, they remain in peril. In April 2019, at least 20 people — including 10 Hazaras — were killed in a Quetta marketplace suicide bombing. The attack, which was aimed at the Shias, was also claimed by the IS. It is well known that the virulently sectarian Lashkar-i-Jhangvi, which has a continued presence in Balochistan, works closely with the transnational terrorist group. Surely, in a province crawling with security and intelligence personnel, violent extremists such as these should not be difficult to track down.
They could also be traced through the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat, which also has an overtly anti-Shia agenda. But when one considers that the head of the ASWJ's Balochistan chapter, Ramzan Mengal, was released from prison — only two days before the marketplace bombing — and allowed to contest the 2018 general election, it becomes clear that there are wheels within wheels here. Certainly, there may be some truth to claims being made that those who slaughtered the coal miners last Sunday are foreign-funded, but the whole truth is far more nuanced.
Afghan bloodshed
AS the Afghan government and the Taliban sit down for parleys in Doha today, deadly violence in the country over the past few months has cast its shadow over the process. Since November, a number of officials, activists and journalists have been killed in targeted hits. This ugly trend is of course part of the overall cycle of violence that plagues Afghanistan, pitting the government against the Taliban and other militant groups such as the local branch of IS. Among the high-profile victims of the latest series of killings has been the deputy governor of Kabul as well as five journalists. Strangely, the Afghan peace process has been marked by the dichotomy of violence coupled with talk — with ceasefires often punctured by fighting. However, considering the complexity of the Afghan situation, particularly the bloodshed that has affected Afghan national life for decades, there is no other option but for the stakeholders to sit at the negotiating table and work out a doable peace plan. However, there must be some red lines, such as the protection of fundamental rights, specifically the safety of those that are critical of the government or armed groups.
Though no groups have claimed responsibility, it appears that the latest string of killings is an attempt by armed outfits to eliminate critical, independent voices, and send a message to others to keep quiet. As the government and the Taliban restart the dialogue process, Kabul should make it clear that such murderous attacks will not be tolerated. Afghan rights activists have expressed fears that there may be a rollback of rights and freedoms, particularly women's rights, if a peace deal is reached with the Taliban. Of course, the era when the armed group ruled over the country was one where women became practically invisible on the national scene. It would be shameful if attempts were made to reimpose such restrictions on women. Indeed, reaching a workable peace deal will not be easy; an Afghan government negotiator has said, with reference to the Doha process, that talks will be "complicated and time-consuming". However, all sides must realise that if this window of opportunity is lost, no one knows when the next chance will arise to end the deadly cycle of violence in Afghanistan. What is more, a final settlement must ensure equal rights for all of the country's tribes and ethnic groups, as well as women and minorities.
Petrol smuggling
THE government wants to put a stop to the widespread smuggling of cheap, low quality Iranian petrol and diesel into the country through Balochistan. But it knows, deep down, that it can't; at least not until it can force oil marketing companies to expand their retail network across the sparsely populated province and completely secure the long border with Iran to block the illegal trade routes. Neither of these two tasks is easy. The OMCs are reluctant to expand their retail networks in most parts of the province because of low demand, high freight cost and poor security conditions. Likewise, the job of securing multiple smuggling routes across the treacherous terrain demands extensive deployment of manpower and the establishment of security check-posts, in addition to close cooperation from Tehran.
The plan recently approved by the prime minister to stop the sale of smuggled oil in parts of the country anticipates these difficulties, as well as the fact that it is smuggled Iranian oil that is keeping the wheels moving in most areas of Balochistan. Hence it has made the decision to focus on a customs-led crackdown against illegal petrol outlets in Punjab, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, besides cutting off supply lines of the smuggled oil from Balochistan in the first phase of the plan. In the second phase, the POL requirement of Balochistan will be mapped, legal retail outlets opened and a strategy to stall smuggling devised. The plan looks good, but only on paper. Its implementation will be fraught with difficulties and roadblocks, which are not limited to the expansion of the networks of OMCs or the blockade of smuggling routes. The illegal flow of Iranian oil worth Rs250bn a year — in tankers and jerry cans mounted on jeeps and motorcycles, in full view of the border security forces, customs authorities and provincial administration — shows the involvement of a powerful mafia in this business. If the plan is to succeed, it must first target this ring.

I'm not a fan of reading other people's daily draws. They present an overly personal and mundane inventory of dirty laundry that usually makes me yawn. I stopped doing simple daily draws for myself a long time ago since they weren't telling me much of value. But recently I find that performing more complex pulls on a daily basis, often bringing together two or more decks, is a fine way to use the cards in a multi-faceted array and learn from their dynamic interplay. These exercises are meant to show the "tone" of a given day from various angles, not as an attempt to predict the occurrence of specific events; I learned early in my practice that seeking this level of specificity from the tarot is putting too fine a point on divination. There is too much fluidity and uncertainty in daily circumstances to be pinned down with any confidence by a single scrap of evidence.
For some time now I've been using an expanded version of my "3-Phase Daily Orientation Spread" for this purpose.
This started as a five-card draw offering a detailed perspective on daily affairs from three discrete viewpoints: a personal focus on action-based, mental/emotional and spiritual factors; a social focus on direct interaction with others; and a trans-personal focus on background influences from the world-at-large. I used the Voyager Tarot in the early stages of this initiative, then added the graphically, chromatically and dimensionally compatible Messenger Oracle to the reading as an "advice" stipulation for each tarot card. Now, as I work my way into an understanding of playing-card divination, I've brought in Caitlin Keegan's Illuminated Tarot enhanced playing-card deck as a kind of nuts-and-bolts intermediary between the psychological emphasis of the Voyager cards and the pragmatic but open-ended flavor of the oracle. Consider it a "how-to" manual for evolving from the abstract to the actionable.
This series forms a "descending set" (4-3-2), suggesting the need for increased stability, creativity and cooperation during the course of the day. The 4 of Worlds (Coins) signifies making a solid start; the 3 of Hearts cautions about avoiding impulsiveness; and the oracle card reinforces the idea of steadiness and perseverance.
The 4 of Cups implies acute dissatisfaction with the growth potential of the status quo, along with the risk of overreaction; the 2 of Spades carries the notion of a removal or separation; and the oracle card suggests taking a conservative, patient and non-confrontational stance. It looks like refraining from irritability could shield me from a source of increased displeasure today.
The 6 of Crystals indicates the ability to see and transcend the duality of life, reconciling conflicts and embracing the whole; the 10 of Diamonds shows fortunate changes, satisfaction, fulfillment and success with money, as well as the possibility of a trip; and the oracle card promotes self-awareness and playing to one's strengths. Perhaps my on-line divination service will take off or my local reading venue (which I travel to) will awaken from its present slow period.
The unwritten sub-title for this position is "How should I greet the world today?" The Hermit here echoes the idea of "maintaining silence" presented in my last post, and keeping my own counsel while conducting external affairs; the King of Hearts (representing good advice and support that is long on action and short on talk) "heartily" seconds that attitude; the oracle card even more emphatically endorses an inward focus. This does not look like a day for enthusiastic but uncritical outreach.
