The new museum course invites you to a discovery of life in Wallonia from the 19th century till the present. A sophisticated scenography depicts objects and archival material and mixes ancient and contemporary elements. The five themes we encounter focus on Walloon society, people, ideas, and know-how... Lots of discoveries, emotions and surprises!
The old Museum of Walloon Life held up a mirror up to the day-to-day activities of the people of Wallonia in days gone, while extolling the rich resources 'under threat' from the standardisation of the modern world. This reality 'from another epoch' was quite unfamiliar to visitors in the year 2000 and the way it was showcased had to be revamped for the benefit of the general public.
The outcome of a state-of-the-art museography and scenographic presentation, the new walkthrough evokes a huge variety of themes and a marvelous range of objects to help visitors discovering life in Wallonia.
From the very outset the presentation of Léopold Harzé's monumental achievement in the form of Liege Market creates the mood decor for the walkthrough. Authentic, shrewdly observant and intricately human.
The eventful moments are then obviously brought into focus, showcasing the stages in this page of the history of Liege's heritage, from the time the monastery was created to the day the museum opened its doors.
1. Three perspectives of Wallonia
The visitor next enters the actual museum walkthrough, to be confronted with three unique perspectives of Wallonia, to awaken the senses, revive its history and invite the visitor to share the region's legendary festive spirit. As contrasted with the Flemish movement, the long march of the Walloon activists led to the creation of the Walloon Region in 1980.
The 'revival' offers another perspective on objects from the past and various dimensions of the region's folklore. A great deal of attention is also paid to economic activities.
2. Technical (R)evolutions
Technical (r)evolutions
Walloon's economic epoch is punctuated by old techniques, (r)evolutions, crises and (re)deployments. From earthen trails to airways, from carrier pigeon to satellites, Wallonia is also involved in the major changes affecting the global transport and communication systems.
3. Live together
When reaching the first floor, visitors come face to face with the last operating guillotine, which keeps alive the still contentious debate about the rights and wrongs of the death penalty.
They are then invited to immerse themselves in the daily activities. Times have changed, as have our homes. Levels of production and consumption have skyrocketed. Clothes, food, homemaking, everything is in a state of flux.
4. Day after day
The nail tree : one of the key popular beliefs...
Advertising urges the buying public to consumer more and more. And yet the spiritual life has not been left by the wayside, as underscored by the various dimensions of this issue evoked in the walkthrough.
The deeply entrenched Walloon Catholicism is also tinged with magic and superstition. Popular beliefs have an impact upon our daily lives. Life is marked by festivals and recreational activities, which also build social bridges.
5. Life of Spirit
Throughout its history, Wallonia has continued to benefit from other ideological and religious trends.
A look is also taken at social issues, from 1830 to the present day… Our society espouses democratic ideals: solidarity, equality and freedom of conscience. The key question of universal education, another driving force behind changes in Wallonia, is much in evidence, as are the skilful gestures of our craftsmen: visitors are shown the extent to which hands are regarded as tools, making the controlled gestures of virtuoso craftsmen.
Conclusion: questions about the future...
The task of rounding off the path of discovery in the museum environment was assigned to the Liege artist Jacques Charlier and the astrophysicist Jaël Nazé from the University of Liege for a universalist and cosmic swerve. We also invite visitors to discover a young, intricate, multidimensional and constantly changing "land". A human environment regarded from a broad anthropological perspective, both in terms of its past and its present. A cultural variety renowned for its amazing hospitality, thereby highlighting the extremely positive outlook of the Walloon character: unity in diversity.

Plans called for Hubble to be serviced in February 2005, but the Columbia disaster in 2003, in which the orbiter disintegrated on re-entry into the atmosphere, had wide-ranging effects on the Hubble program. NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe decided that all future shuttle missions had to be able to reach the safe haven of the International Space Station should in-flight problems develop. As no shuttles were capable of reaching both HST and the ISS during the same mission, future crewed service missions were canceled. This decision was assailed by numerous astronomers, who felt that Hubble was valuable enough to merit the human risk. HST's planned successor, the James Webb Telescope (JWST), was not expected to launch until at least 2018. A gap in space-observing capabilities between a decommissioning of Hubble and the commissioning of a successor was of major concern to many astronomers, given the significant scientific impact of HST. The consideration that JWST will not be located in low Earth orbit, and therefore cannot be easily upgraded or repaired in the event of an early failure, only makes these concerns more acute. On the other hand, many astronomers felt strongly that the servicing of Hubble should not take place if the expense were to come from the JWST budget.

PerkinElmer produces analytical instruments, genetic testing and diagnostic tools, medical imaging components, software and consumables for multiple end markets. PerkinElmer is part of the S&P500 Index and operates in 150 countries, Perkin-Elmer was founded in 1937 by Richard Perkin and Charles Elmer as an optical design and consulting company. In 1944, Perkin-Elmer entered the business, and in the early 1990s. EG&G began in 1931, It was started by two MIT professors, Harold Edgerton and Kenneth Germeshausen in a Boston garage, the company was originally incorporated in 1947 as EG&G. Modern PerkinElmer traces its history back to a merger between divisions of what had been two S&P500 companies, EG&G Inc. of Wellesley and Perkin-Elmer of Norwalk, on May 28,1999, the non-government side of EG&G Inc. At the time, EG&G made products for diverse industries including automotive, aerospace, the old Perkin-Elmer Board of Directors and Officers remained at that reorganized company under its new name, PE Corporation.
It should be noted that Perkin-Elmer purchased the Boston operations of NEN Life Sciences in 2001, in 1992, the company merged with Applied Biosystems. In 1997 they merged with PerSeptive Biosystems, on July 14,1999, the new analytical instruments maker PerkinElmer cut 350 jobs, or 12%, in its cost reduction reorganization. Following on from the selloff, a number of businesses were acquired, including Spectral Genomics, Evotec-Technologies, ViaCell. The brand Evotec-Technologies remains the property of Evotec, the owner company. PerkinElmer had a license to use the brand till the end of year 2007, PerkinElmer has continued to expand its interest in medicine with the acquisitions of clinical laboratories, In July 2006, it acquired NTD Labs located on Long Island, New York. The laboratory specializes in prenatal screening during the first trimester of pregnancy, in 2007, it purchased ViaCell, Inc. for $300 million, which included its offices in Boston and cord blood storage facility in Kentucky near Cincinnati.
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph is a science instrument that was installed on the Hubble Space Telescope during Servicing Mission 4 in May 2009. It is designed for ultraviolet spectroscopy of faint point sources with a power of ≈1. COS was developed and built by the Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy at the University of Colorado at Boulder, while STIS operates across a wider wavelength range, COS is many times more sensitive in the UV. The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph is a spectrograph that is optimized for high sensitivity. COS has two channels, one for Far Ultraviolet spectroscopy covering 115–205 nm and one for Near Ultraviolet spectroscopy spanning 170–320 nm. The FUV channel can work one of three diffraction gratings, the NUV with one of four, providing both low and medium resolution spectra. In addition, COS has a field of view NUV imaging mode intended for target acquisition. One key technique for achieving high sensitivity in the FUV is minimizing the number of optics and this is done because FUV reflection and transmission efficiencies are typically quite low compared to what is common at visible wavelengths.
The 2.5 arc second diameter entrance aperture allows ≈ 95% of the light from sources to enter COS. Post launch performance closely matched expectations, instrument sensitivity is close to pre-launch calibration values, and detector background is exceptionally low. FUV resolution is lower than pre-launch predictions due to mid-frequency polishing errors on the HST primary mirror. Observations are planned of extended objects, Spectroscopy provides a wealth of information about distant astronomical objects that is unobtainable through imaging, Spectroscopy lies at the heart of astrophysical inference. Detailed information on all of these properties can be gleaned from high-quality spectroscopic data, for distant objects, some of these properties can only be measured through spectroscopy. The UV offers access to features that provide key diagnostic information that cannot be obtained at other wavelengths. Obtaining absorption spectra of interstellar and intergalactic gas forms the basis of many of the COS science programs, in general, COS will address questions such as, What is the large-scale structure of matter in the Universe.
A fine guidance sensor is an instrument on board a space telescope that provides high-precision pointing information as input to the observatorys attitude control systems. FGSs have been deployed on the Hubble Space Telescope, and will be deployed with a different technical approach on the James Webb Space Telescope, the system on Hubble uses an interferometric instrument In some specialized cases, such as astrometry, FGSs can be used as scientific instruments. The Hubble Space Telescope has three fine guidance sensors, two are used to point and lock the telescope onto the target, and the third can be used for position measurements - known as astrometry. Because the FGSs are so accurate, they can be used to measure stellar distances, the three FGSs are located at 90-degree intervals around the circumference of the telescopes field of view. To achieve the very high pointing accuracy Hubble needs, the FGSs have been constructed as interferometers to exploit the features of the in-coming starlight.
Due to the sensitivity of the FGS they can not be used whilst the HST is pointed within 50 degrees of the Sun, a guiding system, called FGS, but using different technology, is planned for the James Webb Space Telescope. It provides input for the attitude control system. During on-orbit commissioning of the JWST, the FGS will provide pointing error signals during activities to achieve alignment, the JWST FGS, designed and built by COM DEV International, was supplied by the Canadian Space Agency. To save on mass and volume it was assembled in a unit containing the Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph. The JWST FGS-Guider has three main functions, the first is to obtain images for target acquisition. The second is to acquire pre-selected guide stars, during acquisition, a guide star is first centred in an 8 ×8 pixel window. Finally, the third is to provide the ACS with centroid measurements of the stars at a rate of 16 times per second. These measurements will be used to enable stable pointing at the milli-arc-second level, the FGS will be sensitive enough to reach 58 µJy at 1.25 µm, and has a 2. 4×2.4 arcminute square field of view.
The European Space Agency is an intergovernmental organisation of 22 member states, dedicated to the exploration of space. Established in 1975 and headquartered in Paris, France, ESA has a staff of about 2,000. The main European launch vehicle Ariane 5 is operated through Arianespace with ESA sharing in the costs of launching, after World War II, many European scientists left Western Europe in order to work with the United States. The meeting was attended by representatives from eight countries, including Harrie Massey. The Western European nations decided to have two different agencies, one concerned with developing a system, ELDO, and the precursor of the European Space Agency. The latter was established on 20 March 1964 by an agreement signed on 14 June 1962, from 1968 to 1972, ESRO launched seven research satellites. ESA in its current form was founded with the ESA Convention in 1975, ESA has 10 founding member states, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. These signed the ESA Convention in 1975 and deposited the instruments of ratification by 1980, during this interval the agency functioned in a de facto fashion.
ESA launched its first major scientific mission in 1975, Cos-B, ESA joined NASA in the IUE, the worlds first high-orbit telescope, which was launched in 1978 and operated very successfully for 18 years. A number of successful Earth-orbit projects followed, and in 1986 ESA began Giotto, its first deep-space mission, to study the comets Halley and Grigg–Skjellerup. Hipparcos, a mission, was launched in 1989 and in the 1990s SOHO, Ulysses. Recent scientific missions in co-operation with NASA include the Cassini–Huygens space probe, as the successor of ELDO, ESA has constructed rockets for scientific and commercial payloads. Ariane 1, launched in 1979, brought mostly commercial payloads into orbit from 1984 onward, the successor launch vehicle of Ariane 5, the Ariane 6 is already in the definition stage and is envisioned to enter service in the 2020s. The beginning of the new millennium saw ESA become, along with agencies like NASA, JAXA, ISRO, CSA and Roscosmos, one of the major participants in scientific space research.
A reflecting telescope is an optical telescope which uses a single or combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image. The reflecting telescope was invented in the 17th century as an alternative to the telescope which. Although reflecting telescopes produce other types of aberrations, it is a design that allows for very large diameter objectives. Almost all of the telescopes used in astronomy research are reflectors. Reflecting telescopes come in many variations and may employ extra optical elements to improve image quality or place the image in a mechanically advantageous position. Since reflecting telescopes use mirrors, the design is referred to as a catoptric telescope. The idea that curved mirrors behave like lenses dates back at least to Alhazens 11th century treatise on optics, the potential advantages of using parabolic mirrors, primarily reduction of spherical aberration with no chromatic aberration, led to many proposed designs for reflecting telescopes. The most notable being James Gregory, who published a design for a 'reflecting' telescope in 1663.
It would be ten years, before the experimental scientist Robert Hooke was able to build this type of telescope, Isaac Newton has been generally credited with building the first reflecting telescope in 1668. It used a spherically ground metal primary mirror and a diagonal mirror in an optical configuration that has come to be known as the Newtonian telescope. A curved primary mirror is the reflector telescopes basic optical element that creates an image at the focal plane, the distance from the mirror to the focal plane is called the focal length. The primary mirror in most modern telescopes is composed of a glass cylinder whose front surface has been ground to a spherical or parabolic shape. A thin layer of aluminum is deposited onto the mirror. Some telescopes use primary mirrors which are made differently, molten glass is rotated to make its surface paraboloidal, and is kept rotating while it cools and solidifies. The resulting mirror shape approximates a desired paraboloid shape that requires grinding and polishing to reach the exact figure needed.
Hubbles law is considered the first observational basis for the expansion of the universe and today serves as one of the pieces of evidence most often cited in support of the Big Bang model. The motion of objects due solely to this expansion is known as the Hubble flow. Two years Edwin Hubble confirmed the existence of that law, Hubble inferred the recession velocity of the objects from their redshifts, many of which were earlier measured and related to velocity by Vesto Slipher in 1917. The law is expressed by the equation v = H0D. The SI unit of H0 is s−1 but it is most frequently quoted in /Mpc, the reciprocal of H0 is the Hubble time. Applying the most general principles to the nature of the universe yielded a solution that conflicted with the then-prevailing notion of a static universe. In 1922, Alexander Friedmann derived his Friedmann equations from Einsteins field equations, the parameter used by Friedmann is known today as the scale factor which can be considered as a scale invariant form of the proportionality constant of Hubbles law.
Georges Lemaître independently found a solution in 1927. The Friedmann equations are derived by inserting the metric for a homogeneous and isotropic universe into Einsteins field equations for a fluid with a given density and this idea of an expanding spacetime would eventually lead to the Big Bang and Steady State theories of cosmology. In 1927, two years before Hubble published his own article, the Belgian priest and astronomer Georges Lemaître was the first to publish research deriving what is now known as Hubbles Law. According to the Canadian astronomer Sidney van den Bergh, The 1927 discovery of the expansion of the Universe by Lemaitre was published in French in a low-impact journal. In the 1931 high-impact English translation of this article a critical equation was changed by omitting reference to what is now known as the Hubble constant and it is now known that the alterations in the translated paper were carried out by Lemaitre himself. Before the advent of modern cosmology, there was talk about the size.
The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated by the U. S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, as part of the Space Shuttle program. Its official program name was Space Transportation System, taken from a 1969 plan for a system of reusable spacecraft of which it was the only item funded for development, the first of four orbital test flights occurred in 1981, leading to operational flights beginning in 1982. Five complete Shuttle systems were built and used on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011, the Shuttle fleets total mission time was 1322 days,19 hours,21 minutes and 23 seconds. Shuttle components included the Orbiter Vehicle, a pair of solid rocket boosters. The Shuttle was launched vertically, like a rocket, with the two SRBs operating in parallel with the OVs three main engines, which were fueled from the ET. The SRBs were jettisoned before the vehicle reached orbit, and the ET was jettisoned just before orbit insertion, at the conclusion of the mission, the orbiter fired its OMS to de-orbit and re-enter the atmosphere.
The orbiter glided as a spaceplane to a landing, usually at the Shuttle Landing Facility of KSC or Rogers Dry Lake in Edwards Air Force Base. After landing at Edwards, the orbiter was back to the KSC on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. The first orbiter, was built in 1976 for use in Approach, four fully operational orbiters were initially built, Challenger and Atlantis. Of these, two were lost in accidents, Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003, with a total of fourteen astronauts killed. A fifth operational orbiter, was built in 1991 to replace Challenger, the Space Shuttle was retired from service upon the conclusion of Atlantiss final flight on July 21,2011. Nixons post-Apollo NASA budgeting withdrew support of all components except the Shuttle. The vehicle consisted of a spaceplane for orbit and re-entry, fueled by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen tanks. The first of four orbital test flights occurred in 1981, leading to operational flights beginning in 1982, all launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

Stonewall Jackson's Great-Great-Grandsons Call for Removal of Confederate Monuments |
Stonewall Jackson's Great-Great-Grandsons Call for Removal of Confederate Monuments
As President Trump faces growing outrage over his response to the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, we bring you an exclusive: an interview with the great-great-grandsons of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. At least 1,500 symbols of the Confederacy can be found in public spaces across the country. But now a number of the monuments are coming down. Calls for the removal of the statues are even coming from the descendants of the leaders of the Confederacy. We speak with two of the great-great-grandsons of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. Jack and Warren Christian have just written an open letter to the mayor of Richmond calling for the removal of the Stonewall Jackson statue in Richmond. They write, "Our sense of justice leads us to believe that removing the Stonewall statue and other monuments should be part of a larger project of actively mending the racial disparities that hundreds of years of white supremacy have wrought."
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: Momentum is growing across the country to remove Confederate statues in the wake of Saturday's deadly white supremacist, neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. At least 1,500 symbols of the Confederacy can be found in public spaces across the country. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, most of them were built during the early decades of Jim Crow or in reaction to the civil rights movement—not after the Civil War. But now a number of the monuments are coming down. In Baltimore, the city, under orders from the mayor, has just removed all four of its Confederate statues. In Durham, North Carolina, protesters toppled a Confederate statue after a college student named Takiyah Thompson climbed up a ladder and looped a rope around the top of the Confederate Soldiers Monument. She appeared on Democracy Now! just before going to court on Wednesday.
TAKIYAH THOMPSON: And I did this because the statue is a symbol of nationalism, and it's a symbol of white nationalism. And the type of white nationalism I'm talking about is the type of white nationalism that is sending me death threats on Facebook. I'm talking about the type of white nationalist that, you know, has killed a woman in a protest.
AMY GOODMAN: Meanwhile, on Wednesday, in Brooklyn, New York, the Episcopal Church removed two plaques honoring Robert E. Lee. On Monday, a monument to Confederate soldiers in Gainesville, Florida, was also removed. And several other Confederate monuments are slated to be removed across the country. On Wednesday, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe encouraged all local governments to remove Confederate monuments, saying they've become "flashpoints for hatred, division and violence," unquote.
And the calls for the removal of the statues are even coming from the descendants of the leaders of the Confederacy. Today, an exclusive interview with two of the great-great-grandsons of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. Jack and Warren Christian have just written an open letter to the mayor of Richmond calling for the removal of the Stonewall Jackson statue in Richmond. They write, quote, "[O]ur sense of justice leads us to believe that removing the Stonewall statue and other monuments should be part of a larger project of actively mending the racial disparities that hundreds of years of white supremacy have wrought. We hope other descendants of Confederate generals will stand with us." Jack Christian joins us from western Massachusetts, from Chicopee, Mass. And Warren Christian is in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Jack and Warren, welcome to Democracy Now!
JACK CHRISTIAN: Thanks for having us.
WARREN CHRISTIAN: Thanks, Amy.
AMY GOODMAN: It's great—it's great to have you both with us. Talk about why you've decided to speak out right now. Let's begin with Jack Christian.
JACK CHRISTIAN: Yeah, well, I think that [inaudible] wrote definitely is a product of something that we've been thinking about and feeling for a long while now, but was also very much catalyzed by what we saw in Charlottesville, and particularly in Durham, pulling down their Confederate monument. So that inspired Warren and I to kind of feel like this was the time to write this letter.
AMY GOODMAN: And, Warren Christian, in Baltimore, under cover of night, two nights ago, the mayor had four Confederate monuments pulled down. One of them was a monument of your great-great-grandfather, Stonewall Jackson. Your thoughts today and how you came, together with Jack, to call for the removal of not only monuments to your great-great-grandfather, but all other Confederate monuments?
WARREN CHRISTIAN: Yes. Well, this—like Jack said, this is something that we've felt for a long time. I think it's very clear, if you look at the context in which the monuments were put up, they weren't—they weren't celebrating kind of benign war heroes. They were very clearly meant to be things that would intimidate black people and further white supremacy in the U.S.
Where I work, at UNC, there's a prominent Confederate memorial, monument, statue right in the heart of campus. And since I've been at the University of North Carolina, I have wanted for that statue to be removed, and felt like speaking out about it, and now, finally, kind of got the courage to do so.
I think Jack and I, and along with our parents, it's kind of some mixed feelings, mixed emotions, about being direct descendants of Stonewall Jackson. It's not something that I, you know, widely share, outside of a very close group of friends. So this is really kind of a coming out, in a sort.
And also, the—I think the other thing is, in some ways, I don't feel like it should matter too much, you know, how we feel about the statues, but I do understand that it does—it is important to some folks how we feel about it. And, for example, this statue at the University of North Carolina, when it was put up, the speaker, Julian Carr, who is a prominent local businessman, talked a lot about how the Confederate soldiers were working to save the Anglo-Saxon race. And then, really kind of disgustingly, at the end of his speech, he bragged about having the—his quotes—"pleasant duty of horsewhipping a black woman in front of a hundred federal soldiers and leaving her clothes in tatters." So I think the racist and white supremacist intent of these monuments is clear. And I think it's past time that they're all removed from the public squares of our country.
AMY GOODMAN: You work at the University of North Carolina?
WARREN CHRISTIAN: Yeah, so I work at the University of North Carolina, and I am somewhat disgusted walking past that statue on campus. And I can only imagine how it feels to students of color, and particularly black students, who have to walk by that on their way to class.
AMY GOODMAN: Have you—
WARREN CHRISTIAN: And I know that—yes, sorry, Amy.
AMY GOODMAN: Have you told the president of the university or other students? You said you've kept pretty quiet about this until now, but—
WARREN CHRISTIAN: I have, yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: —about your desires to have that monument to your great-great-grandfather removed?
WARREN CHRISTIAN: Not in a public forum, but I—you know, I'd say this is it. I'd like that statue, of course, removed. I think the University of North Carolina, there's a lot of great people doing great work to try to recruit, retain and support students of color and black students, and having this monument on campus just completely goes against that spirit.
AMY GOODMAN: Jack, can you tell us who Stonewall Jackson was?
JACK CHRISTIAN: Yeah, it's—I'll do my best. It's funny, serendipitous almost, that this summer, earlier in the summer, I had started reading the biography from a few years ago called Rebel Yell by S.C. Gwynne, that humanizes Stonewall in some new ways.
He is—he's famous, he got his nickname, for, you know, standing in battle and not being pushed back by federal forces, if I'm not mistaken, in the first Bull Run, and other Confederate generals observed him standing like that and said he's standing like a stone wall. So that's where his nickname comes from. His fame, after that, is for the Valley Campaign that he waged in the western part of Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley, where he—you know, he, with a much smaller force, was able to hold off Union forces for a long time, which had the effect of greatly extending the Civil War, in all likelihood. So that's who he was as a soldier.
As a person, he was very complicated. He was an orphan who did well academically and graduated high in his class at VMI. He did, in his adult life, own slaves. He also was very religious. And as part of his religious calling, he taught—he taught Sunday school to enslaved peoples where he lived, in Lexington, Virginia, which was, in my understanding of it, at least controversial, if not an illegal thing to do. So, you know, this is sort of the person that we have, kind of all our lives, been thinking about, grappling with. That's my thumbnail sketch of him.
AMY GOODMAN: We're going to go to a break, then come back to this conversation. Then we're going to go to Fargo, North Dakota, to speak with the nephew of one of the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville this past weekend. That white supremacist's father wrote an open letter on Facebook saying the family was disowning his son, was disowning his white supremacist son. And we're going to speak with a recovered white supremacist who is part of an organization called Life After Hate. This is Democracy Now!, our exclusive interview with the great-great-grandsons of Stonewall Jackson. We'll also hear, after break, them reading a part of the letter that they have written calling for monuments to their great-great-grandfather to be taken down around the country. Stay with us.
AMY GOODMAN: Inti-Illimani, here on Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman, as we bring you this exclusive interview with two of the great-great-grandsons of the Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. Let's go back to President Trump speaking at this fiery, unhinged news conference he had on Tuesday in Trump Tower here in New York.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: So, this week it's Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson is coming down. I wonder: Is it George Washington next week? And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you—you really have to ask yourself: Where does it stop?
AMY GOODMAN: So that was President Trump. We're joined by Jack and Warren Christian, two great-great-grandsons of the Confederate General Stonewall Jackson, who have written a letter calling for the removal of the Stonewall Jackson statue in Richmond, Virginia.
Warren and Jack, I was wondering if you could both read a part of this open letter that you have written.
JACK CHRISTIAN: Sure, I'd be glad to. I'm going to read the first couple paragraphs, and Warren's going to read the last couple paragraphs. So we write:
"Dear Mayor Levar Stoney"—that's the mayor of Richmond—"and members of the Monument Avenue Commission,
"We are native Richmonders and also the great-great-grandsons of Stonewall Jackson. As two of the closest living relatives to Stonewall, we are writing today to ask for the removal of his statue, as well as the removal of all Confederate statues from Monument Avenue. They are overt symbols of racism and white supremacy, and the time is long overdue for them to depart from public display. Overnight,"—two nights ago now—"Baltimore has seen fit to take this action. Richmond should, too.
"In making this request, we wish to express our respect and admiration for Mayor Stoney's leadership while also strongly disagreeing with his claim that 'removal of symbols does [nothing] for telling the actual truth [nor] changes the state and culture of racism in this country today.' In our view, the removal of the Jackson statue and others will necessarily further difficult conversations about racial justice. It will begin to tell the truth of all of us coming to our senses."
We go on in the letter to detail some of our rationale and family history. And then Warren is going to read the last few paragraphs.
WARREN CHRISTIAN: "Ongoing racial disparities in incarceration, educational attainment, police brutality, hiring practices, access to health care, and, perhaps most starkly, wealth, make it clear that these monuments do not stand somehow outside of history. Racism and white supremacy, which undoubtedly continue today, are neither natural nor inevitable. Rather, they were created in order to justify the unjustifiable, in particular slavery.
"One thing that bonds our extended family, besides our common ancestor, is that many have worked, often as clergy and as educators, for justice in their communities. While we do not purport to speak for all of Stonewall's kin, our sense of justice leads us to believe that removing the Stonewall statue and other monuments should be part of a larger project of actively mending the racial disparities that hundreds of years of white supremacy have wrought. We hope other descendants of Confederate generals will stand with us.
"As cities all over the South are realizing now, we are not in need of added context. We are in need of a new context—one in which the statues have been taken down."
AMY GOODMAN: Those, the words of Jack and Warren Christian, the great-great-grandsons of the Confederate General Stonewall Jackson, calling for the removal of his monument in Richmond. Are you calling for the removal of his monument around the country, Jack?
JACK CHRISTIAN: We're calling for the removal of his monument in Richmond firstly, but our argument is that all Confederate monuments and symbols should be removed from public display.
AMY GOODMAN: You take a different approach than Bertram Hayes-Davis, the great-great-grandson of the Confederate President Jefferson Davis, who talks about contextualizing monuments. He's not against moving them, perhaps into museums, but really emphasizes this issue of contextualizing. Warren, your response to that?
WARREN CHRISTIAN: I think the context is, is that they were put up in support of this myth of the Lost Cause, that the Confederate soldiers were fighting kind of a noble fight, and that that doesn't give the full weight to the fact that they were fighting to continue the institution of slavery. And the—
AMY GOODMAN: That's an interesting—
WARREN CHRISTIAN: I mean, I think, so that's—
AMY GOODMAN: That's an interesting point you raise, is that these Confederate monuments didn't go up right after the Civil War—
WARREN CHRISTIAN: No.
AMY GOODMAN: —but decades later, with the rise of the Klan and the introduction of Jim Crow laws.
WARREN CHRISTIAN: And that's why I think they shouldn't be—I don't think any American, and especially black Americans, should be forced to pass these symbols of white supremacy on their ways to work, church, school. I don't think that's—I don't think we can—I think, as part of our national healing—we're still, very clearly, in my eyes, dealing with the effects of slavery, of Jim Crow, of segregation, of racist policies like redlining. And I think this, removing the monuments, ultimately, in my eyes, is just a small step that's necessary for racial healing in the country, along with many other much larger steps that are necessary.
AMY GOODMAN: Speaking about a proposed Gettysburg memorial in 1869, Confederate General Robert E. Lee, quote, said, "I think it wiser ... not to keep open the sores of war, but to follow the example of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil strife, [and] to commit to oblivion the feelings [it] engendered." So, even the Confederate general, who has I don't know how many monuments of his likeness, of him, around the country, said there shouldn't be Confederate monuments, Jack. And I wanted to ask if you'd end by talking about whether you have your family's support, and, for example, your parents'.
JACK CHRISTIAN: Yeah, we have not talked directly to our parents, although we sent the letter to them. But we very much believe that we have their support and know that this works in—really in the spirit in which they brought us up, to work and to fight for justice. I've been—you know, this went up—this letter went up about midnight Eastern time last night, and I've been heartened to see others in our extended family have already reached out and said "thank you" and that they—that they appreciate, you know, what we've said. We certainly haven't heard from everyone, but the response from our family—and even I've gotten some response from other people who have Confederates in their ancestry, that have said—they have said that they feel similarly. So, we're very heartened by the response so far—
AMY GOODMAN: As you—
JACK CHRISTIAN: —both from our family—yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: As you watched what happened in Charlottesville, do you feel like there is a kind of new civil war in this country?
JACK CHRISTIAN: I certainly hope not. I was sickened by what we saw. I hadn't thought about it in quite so stark of terms. But I have thought about it that—where we definitely are at a incredibly tense and stratified moment. And I think that we need to—we need to all take steps to have these conversations and to heal ourselves. So, that's my hope.
AMY GOODMAN: I wanted to read—I wanted to read you a quote from Trump's chief strategist, Steve Bannon, who reportedly is under fire in the White House. Who knows if that's true? But he did an interview with Bob Kuttner of The American Prospect, the liberal magazine, and said, quote, "President Trump, by asking, 'Where does this all end'—Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln—connects with the American people about their history, culture and traditions. The race-identity politics of the left wants to say it's all racist. Just give me more. Tear down more statues. Say the revolution is coming. I can't get enough of it," Bannon said. Jack, your response?
JACK CHRISTIAN: I wondered if you were going to ask me about that, and I listened to this on the news on my way into the TV station this morning. I think that—I think that, ironically, part of Trump's statement has to do—I'm choosing my words carefully—part of Trump's statement has to do with a larger conversation that is taking place and that needs to take place, where we recognize that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were also white supremacists and slave owners, and we think about that history. A writer on the online magazine The Root had a funny, but apt, take that I think sums it up, that said—the writer said, "Leave it to Trump to have a woke take on Thomas Jefferson." And I think there is—I think there's some truth or some pithiness there.
AMY GOODMAN: You—
JACK CHRISTIAN: So, I—go ahead.
AMY GOODMAN: Jack and Warren, you're both teachers?
JACK CHRISTIAN: Yes.
WARREN CHRISTIAN: Yeah.
JACK CHRISTIAN: Yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: What will you be telling your students today?
JACK CHRISTIAN: I have until September 6 to think about what I'll tell them.
AMY GOODMAN: Well—
JACK CHRISTIAN: But—
WARREN CHRISTIAN: I'm in the fortunate—yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: Yes, and Warren?
WARREN CHRISTIAN: I'm in the fortunate position of working with international students, so it's really great to—you know, when they come to the U.S., they very quickly, if they haven't before they got here, realize that race is a huge issue in the U.S., but they still haven't fully formed their decisions. So, what I try to do is always, in contextualizing what the situation surrounding race is in the U.S., is starting with slavery and segregation, and making sure they understand that history to see how it's led us where we are today. And then—and because they don't have so much kind of skin in the game, they're often very receptive to those messages, in a way that working with American students and having discussions about race can be much more difficult.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, Warren and Jack, I want to thank you so much for being with us. I think you've taught this whole country a lot today. Jack and Warren Christian, the great-great-grandsons of the Confederate General Stonewall Jackson, written a joint letter calling for the removal of the Stonewall Jackson statue in Richmond, Virginia. We will link to your letter at democracynow.org.
When we come back, we're going to be joined by a nephew of one of the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville, Virginia. And we'll talk about his family's reaction to the extremist activism, disavowing him, disowning him. And we'll speak with the head of an organization that—of white supremacists who have changed their ways. It's called Life After Hate. Stay with us.

What is the Red Lantern Corps?
Posted by comicart | Mar 15, 2012 | Animation, Comic History, Comic News, DC Comics | 0 |
By Jerry Whitworth
In Green Lantern: The Animated Series, Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and Kilowog must face an army of Red Lanterns out to kill every member of the Green Lantern Corps. But, what are Red Lanterns? In the comic books, the Red Lanterns are closely tied to the Green Lantern Corps and Sinestro Corps.
The planet Maltus is one of the earliest worlds to develop intelligent life in the universe. Over the millennia, this race grew and eventually split. One group went on to form the Controllers, a race dedicated to the advancement of science (regardless of the cost). The female of the species formed the Zamarons, representing the passion and love of their people as the remaining males became stoic and sought the very mysteries of the cosmos. This male component moved to Oa, the planet at the center of the universe, and became the Guardians of the Universe. The Guardians saw the universe consumed by chaos because of the actions of Krona, one of their own, and would bring about order. To this end they built powerful androids known as the Manhunters but their creation was flawed in that the Manhunters lacked compassion and took life without hesitation. Further, science came to be observed as an agent of order and magic that of chaos leading the Manhunters to make war on magic, committing genocide in trying to eradicate it. The last bastion of magic the Manhunters found was Sector 666 but before they could wipe out the final five beings therein (the hence called Five Inversions), the Guardians intervened. The survivors, seeking revenge, formed the Empire of Tears across three galaxies and waged war on the Guardians before being stopped and imprisoned on Ysmault. The planet would become off limits, none allowed to enter or leave. The Guardians would go on to discover Ion, the entity of willpower and the representative of green in the emotional spectrum, and employ it to empower the Green Lantern Corps, agents of worlds with power rings to bring about order and battle evil.
Several developments would affect the Guardians' mission. The emergence of Parallax, the entity of fear and the representative of yellow in the emotional spectrum, would endanger life across the universe and the Guardians captured it, imprisoning it in the main power battery on Oa and thus making their agents weak against the color yellow. One of the Corps' greatest agents, Abin Sur, traveled to the surface of Ysmault to try and save those that crashed upon its surface, coming across Qull of the Five Inversions. Qull intrigued Sur into listening to prophecies including the fate and whereabouts of those that crashed, of Sur's demise, and the end of the Green Lantern Corps ("Blackest Night"). For Sur's demise, Qull provided a self-fulfilling prophecy when the actions Sur made to save himself instead doomed him when he relied on a space vessel rather than the power of his ring. Abin Sur would infrequently return to Ysmault trying to seek help in preventing the Blackest Night. Another Inversion, Atrocitus, convinced Sur to break him free from Ysmault in order to lead the Green Lantern to Earth, birthplace to the Blackest Night. Instead, Atrocitus would break free on Earth, mortally wound Sur, and inadvertently lay the groundwork on Earth for the prophesied cataclysm. Sur's replacement, Hal Jordan, would recapture Atrocitus alongside Sinestro, Green Lantern of the neighboring sector and Abin Sur's best friend, and return the Inversion to his prison.
Click for larger image.
Sinestro, considered the greatest of the Green Lantern Corps, felt true order only came from removing freewill and liberty. He conquered his homeworld Korugar and ruled it with impunity. When Hal Jordan discovered this, he brought Sinestro to justice. The former Green Lantern was exiled to Qward in the Anti-Matter Universe, the Guardians' greatest threat at the time. Sinestro convinced the planet's Weaponers to craft him a yellow power ring, in reality tapping into Parallax in the same way his old power ring tapped into Ion. Sinestro would become the Corps' most frequent foe and instrumental in some of the greatest threats to the universe, such as unleashing MadGod Sector 3600, but when he joined forces with the Anti-Monitor, freed Parallax, and formed the Sinestro Corps, he became the gravest threat to the Green Lantern Corps at that point. However, Sinestro chose the worst of the worst for his army, and with one of the greatest weapons in the universe at their command, the blood of the innocent were spread across the universe. This pain laid the groundwork for the Red Lantern Corps.
Atrocitus found strength in the rage of his loss and from blaming Qull for revealing the future to Abin Sur which forced the Guardians to extend the sentence of the Five Inversions. He was able to craft a red lantern power battery and beat Qull to death with it, using his former ally's organs to power the battery and form the Red Lantern Corps. Tapping into the Butcher, the entity of rage and the representative of red in the emotional spectrum, Atrocitus turned his newfound power on the other Inversions in turn making Atrocitus the group's sole survivor. Craving vengeance on the Guardians for losing his family and freedom and revenge on Sinestro and Hal Jordan for again imprisoning him, Atrocitus took advantage of the Sinestro Corps' victims, granting them red power rings but taking away their free will. The Red Lantern Corps joined the ongoing War of Light involving the Green Lantern Corps, Sinestro Corps, and the newly formed Star Sapphire Corps (headed by the aforementioned Zamarons). Unlike the other three corps, the red power ring generally doesn't permit energy constructs but instead is spewed from the mouth with intense power and a corrosive touch. The power of a Blue Lantern (formed by the Guardians Ganthet and Sayd) can neutralize the power and effects of Red Lanterns.

6 Ways to Make Your Business More Efficient
Fixing what's not working gets you further than tinkering pointlessly with what it.
Image credit: gradyreese | Getty Images
Amy Osmond Cook
VP, Marketing & Creative Services, Simplus; Founder, Osmond Marketing
A business is like an airplane: It has to work all the time. Well-oiled or finely tuned, the business must work and keep working for both owners and consumers alike. Unfortunately, inefficiency is a reality. It comes in a variety of flavors that can cost businesses up to 30 percent of their revenue each year.
Few have fought inefficiency as well as Sergey Petrossov, CEO of Jetsmarter. The global, mobile marketplace for private-jet chartering has changed its industry by rooting out efficiency. In just a few years, Petrossov has capitalized on the charter-jet industry's capacity and established what many have hailed as "the Uber of private jets."
Petrossov shared with me six ways you can make your businesses run more smoothly and with less wasted time and effort.
1. Start with what just isn't working.
Before you change anything, you must learn how to accurately identify inefficient processes in your current business model.
As a young entrepreneur, Petrossov came into an industry plagued with inefficiency. Its services were poorly utilized, and the consumer set was very small and highly niche. In 2009, the average private plane was flying only 200 hours a year -- and empty-leg flights with no passengers accounted for one-third of that time. To put that in perspective, planes optimally could fly 1,500 hours a year, with passengers on every flight. Petrossov resolved to change the game.
Having identified what was wrong with the industry, Petrossov sought out what was causing it. He noticed nearly every charter group conducted its business with customers purely via phone, with no digital integration and no real-time pricing. As Petrossov tells it, "I thought there had to be a better way, where more people could take advantage of this service." Having identified the problem, he was in a position to fix it.

Inefficiency can pop up in many places. You might find redundant processes, important but hard-to-find information or out-of-date procedures. Many companies also struggle with needlessly complicated processes. Others, in an effort to run on the cutting edge, try to implement too many new systems and get stuck trying to do it all.
Avoiding these pitfalls requires a keen awareness of your business's capabilities. If your business already suffers from these issues, your ability to improve efficiencies in the future depends largely on how well you can spot what's slowing you down today. A "there-must-be-a-better-way" mindset is invaluable to help open your eyes.
2. Democratize the market.
Even the best aircraft has trouble flying through a storm. You can't do anything about the weather, but you can do something about the market. Before Jetsmarter, patrons had to work through agents to schedule a flight or trip. Petrossov's business plan democratized the market by allowing patrons to schedule flights on their own through a simple phone app. That singular act speeded the process and also freed up Jetsmarter agents to handle other tasks.
Jetsmarter now moves up to 20,000 people per month, and 60 percent of its customers are new to private aviation. Enabling customers to choose and book their own travel created a real movement. It also yielded a billion-dollar business. "That's what we were building in the process," Petrossov says, "a community, people all looking for a new alternative to travel."
This principle applies to almost any business. An Aberdeen Group study revealed organizations using democratized methods had 30 percent higher levels of customer retention and revenue increases as large as 55 percent. The easier it is for customers and employees to access technology and information, the faster and smoother the business runs.

3. Explore digital integration.
According to Gartner, inefficiency in digital integration will cause 25 percent of businesses to lose competitive ranking this year. Petrossov already has ensured Jetsmarter won't be among them. His mobile app streamlined the work that took much longer over phone lines, cutting down on wasted time and unanswered calls.
Doing so had a pleasant side effect: It created connections with people outside of the industry. "I was excited to do this with like-minded people, and what has spawned out of this is a community," Petrossov says. "There's a great social networking aspect of the business, but also in the ability of people to meet. It gives them even more than transportation."
Properly integrating digital solutions can improve efficiency in numerous ways. As Jetsmarter demonstrates, technology can automate time-consuming tasks, allowing employees to focus on things that require human attention. Faster, easier communication is a consistent result of digital integration. Reports are generated and shared more quickly, problems come to light sooner, and employees can collaborate more easily with one another and your customers, too. Thorough digital integration is truly a must-have to boost efficiency.
4. Build an end-to-end solution.
Your plane might fly, but if its landing gear doesn't work, you're much better off taking the bus. Consider the entire machine and how your business and product fit into a larger picture. Jetsmarter began when Petrossov examined jet-charter solutions available at the time and realized they didn't do enough. In some ways, these "solutions" were removed from the travel process.
More fully integrating the whole machine revealed still more ways to increase efficiency. Research supports this. A study commissioned by Google found an 81 percent positive correlation between collaboration and innovation within a business.
At Jetsmarter, this innovation developed what Petrossov calls "the world's greatest travel and lifestyle community." That description covers everything from how you reach your destination to whom you meet along the way and what you do when you get there. Even better, this process developed naturally. As Jetsmarter members arrived in cities, they often reached out to one another to navigate the city. Jetsmarter recognized and quickly filled this need, creating an internal concierge population.
Related: The Future of Productivity: Teamwork and Collaboration
Perhaps not every industry can be so thoroughly involved with its consumers and not every department can integrate with others. Limitations can be perceived or very real. Either way, being aware of the bigger picture is an essential part of providing efficient services. Understanding where the need for your services comes from and how they will be used allows you to anticipate and respond more authentically to consumer needs.
5. Build communities and resources.
One of the best things you can do for your business is to create communities. "You can't put a price on it," Petrossov says. "The people you meet are a reflection of how successful you will be. ...Opportunities open up naturally." In Petrossov's case, it was a simple matter of encouraging communities that were already developing around his product.
You might find it necessary to foster community development. This can be as simple as creating public forums for discussion -- which in turn can generate new concepts, replenishing resources and invaluable feedback. Consumers of businesses with communities spend as much as 19 percent more than other consumers. In short, communities are good for customers and great for you.
Make no mistake: A community can be difficult things to manage, particularly if it encompasses members outside your business structure. But feedback from employees and consumers is a goldmine of data you can use to streamline your business model. A community is well worth the effort you put into it.

6. Explore unexpected opportunities.
Risk is a necessary component of business. Jumping into the jet-charter business was a risk unto itself for Petrossov. What if he was mistaken about which kind of changes were needed? Maybe the industry worked the way it did for a reason. Would his changes make a positive difference? His willingness to explore the possibilities led to his role in shaping a new transportation movement. As Petrossov likes to say, "We are a company made for disruptors by disruptors."
Related: Be Comfortable Taking Risks
Taking risks is an important part of exposing inefficiency. It can be daunting to move away from processes that seem to have stood the test of time. Your reward, though, is discovering which practices no longer are relevant to modern business needs. Every entrepreneur must learn to evaluate unexpected opportunities and have the courage to explore them. Doing so drives industries forward and propels individuals and companies to success.
Every plane needs some fine-tuning now and then -- a little oil to keep it running smoothly. Even a very successful business stands to benefit by proactively searching for new, more efficient methods. Petrossov's tips make for an excellent guide on your journey, whether you're just beginning to investigate or you're always on the lookout for different tools and strategies.

You heard that right: for God's, according to the leader of the leading organization for murdering the innocents God creates before they can draw their first breath.
By Newsbusters. . .On Tuesday, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards' new memoir, Make Trouble, became available to the public. The book comes a month before Richards plans to step down from her position at Planned Parenthood after 12 years. Towards the end of her new work, Richards detailed an "off-the-record" meeting with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner which left her feeling like they were "bribing" and "bartering" with her on abortion.
Following President Donald Trump's transition into office, a "friendly acquaintance in the fashion industry" put Richards in touch with daughter Ivanka.
After she found out Jared Kushner would accompany Ivanka, Richards "begged" her husband, Kirk Adams, to attend as a "witness."

Atlanta Gold Project, Idaho City Ranger District, Boise National Forest, Elmore County, ID
A Notice by the Forest Service on 07/10/2003
The draft environmental impact statement is anticipated to be available for public review and comment in June 2004. The final environmental impact statement is anticipated to be available in October 2004.
41111-41112 (2 pages)
Forest Service, USDA.
Notice of intent to prepare a third-party environmental impact statement.
The Idaho City Ranger District of the Boise National Forest will direct preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), prepared by a third-party contractor, to document the analysis and disclose the potential environmental and human effects of proposed activities to develop and operate a gold-silver open-pit mine and cyanide heap leach facility. Proposed mining activities would be implemented on approximately 350 acres of patented and unpatented lands. The project area is located near Atlanta, Idaho, about 60 miles northeast of Boise, Idaho, in the Joe Daley-James subwatershed which is tributary to the Middle Fork Boise River.
Comments should be addressed to Richard Markley, District Ranger, Idaho City Ranger District, 3833 Highway 21, P.O. Box 129, Idaho City, ID 83631. For further information, contact Terry Hardy, Project Leader, Project Leader, by telephone at 208-373-4235 or send e-mail to thardy@fs.fed.us.
End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
Proposed Action: Atlanta Gold, a wholly owned subsidiary of Twin Mining Corporation, has proposed to develop and operate a gold-silver open-pit mine and cyanide heap leach facility. As delineated by Atlanta Gold's Plan of Operation, the proposed activities encompass approximately 240 acres of unpatented land on the Idaho City Ranger District, Boise National Forest in Sections 10 and 11, T. 5 N., R. 11 E., Boise Meridian.
Conventional open-pit mining methods would occur sequentially at two locations and would involve drilling and blasting, ore haulage, waste haulage, ore crushing and placement on leach pads. The mining rate would average approximately 7,000 tons per day, and while climate may dictate temporary shutdown of mining, waste haulage is expected to occur yearlong. Heap leach and processing facilities would be designed and operated according to rules established by the State of Idaho. The facilities would be constructed to naturally flow process solution to the leach pad and include sumps to transport solution to the processing facility and to circulate solution back to the heap leach facility. Related mining activities would include an electrical power plant with diesel generators, an administration office/assay laboratory, mine maintenance and supply facilities, developing a water supply, transportation planning, waste disposal transfer site, and personnel work camp. To the extent possible, reclamation would occur simultaneously with mining. A monitoring plan would be implemented upon completion of final closure and reclamation activities to ensure site stability and success of revegetation efforts.
Mine operations are planned to occur 12 months during the year and 7 days per week, pending favorable winter season weather. The Atlanta Gold Project would employ a maximum of 100 to 130 people to operate the mine/processing facilities at any given time. Mine operations may be conducted using 2-shifts per day, however economic factors may dictate 3-shifts per day. The projects is predicted to have a 7 to 10 year mining life.
Possible Alternatives: The environmental impact statement will consider the potential effects of: the Proposed Action (as defined by the proponent's Plan of Operation); the No Action Alternative; and other alternatives which may be developed after completion of project scoping.
Lead and Cooperating Agencies: As the agency responsible for management of the unpatented lands, the Forest service will lead the preparation of the EIS. The Atlanta Gold Project will be evaluated under the Idaho Joint Review Process (IJRP). Implementing the IJFP will ensure other state and federal regulatory agencies, such as Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are involved as cooperating and/or participating agencies. The level of involvement by other state or federal entities as cooperating/participating agencies will be identified as a result of the scoping process.
Responsible Official: Richard E. Markley, District Ranger, Idaho City Ranger District, Boise National Forest is the responsible official, 3833 Highway 21, P.O. Box 129, Idaho City, ID 83631.
Nature of Decision To Be Made: Upon completion of the environmental impact statement, the Idaho City District Ranger will decide the following: (1) Approve the project's plan of operations as proposed, or (2) approve the plan of operations that has been modified as necessary to eliminate or minimize adverse effects, or meet the purpose of the regulations (modifications might incorporate additional mitigations and/or monitoring deemed necessary to comply with required permitting).
Scoping Process: The scoping process will consist of a news release announcing the start of the environmental impact statement process, an open invitation to participate in scoping meetings to be scheduled, and a scoping document which will further clarify the proposed action, additional alternatives, and identified issues. The scoping document will be distributed to selected parties and also be available upon request. The agency also hereby gives notice of the environmental analysis and decision-making process that will occur on the proposal so interested and affected Federal, State, tribal, and local agencies, Start Printed Page 41112as well as individuals and organizations are aware of how they may participate and contribute to the final decision. The information received will be used in preparing a final EIS.
Permits or Licenses Required: In order to implement the project, the proponent, Twin Mining Corporation, must obtain approval or conduct consultation with several other federal, state, and local regulatory agencies. These agencies include: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Environmental Protection Agency, Army Corps of Engineers, Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, Idaho Department of Water Resources, Idaho State Historic Preservation Officer and Elmore County, Idaho.
Comments Requested: This notice of intent initiates the scoping process, which guides the development of the environmental impact statement. The Forest Services invites written comments and suggestions on the scope of the analysis. Initial comments should be postmarked within 30 days from the date the Environmental Protection Agency publishes this announcement in the Federal Register.
Early Notice on Importance of Public Participation in Subsequent Environmental Review: A draft environmental impact statement will be prepared. The comment period on the draft environmental impact statement will be 45 days from the date the Environmental Protection Agency publishes the notice of availability in the Federal Register.
The Forest Service believes, at this early stage, it is important to give reviewers notice of court rulings related to public participation in the environmental review process. First, reviewers of draft environmental impact statements must structure their participation in the environmental review of the proposal so that it is meaningful and alerts an agency to the reviewer's position and contentions (Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978)). Also, environmental objections that could be raised at the draft environmental impact statement stage but that are not raised until after completion of the final environmental impact statement may be waived or dismissed by the courts (City of Angoon v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980)). Because of these court rulings, it is very important that those interested in this proposed action participate by the close of the 45 days comment period so that substantive comments and objections are made available to the Forest Service at a time when it can meaningfully consider them and respond to them in the final environmental impact statement.
To assist the Forest Service in identifying and considering issues and concerns on the proposed action, comments on the draft environmental impact statement should be as specific as possible. It is also helpful if comments refer to specific pages or chapters of the draft statement. Comments may also address the adequacy of the draft environmental impact statement or the merits of the alternatives formulated and discussed in the statement. Reviewers may wish to refer to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points.
Comments received, including the names and addresses of those who comment, will be considered part of the public record on this proposal and will be available for public inspection.

Technal supplies building systems for world's tallest student accommodation
Technal, one of Hydro's building systems brands, is supplying aluminium glazing solutions for an £80m project in Leeds, U.K. that is the world's tallest student accommodation building.
The second phase of the Sky Plaza development was designed by Carey Jones Architects and built by Shepherd Construction for UNITE, the UK's leading developer and manager of student accommodation.
It provides contemporary accommodation for more than 500 students, from single studio rooms to spacious flats with panoramic views, in a striking tower which spans 37 stories.
Dramatic impact
The 104-meter-high structure makes a dramatic impact on the city skyline. It features dark zinc cladding with deeply recessed Technal FXi65 casement windows to the north façade. Vertical strips of MX grid curtain walling support aluminium composite panels and large picture windows on the south elevation.
Technal's MX curtain walling was also used to form the horizontal link and the vertical strips of glazing where phase two of the development joins the first phase.
The windows were provided in a tilt/turn configuration for each level up to level 19, with internal beading for fast replacement glazing, and the 'turn' mechanism locked off for safety. Fixed lights were installed to the upper floors where the apartments are comfort cooled.
Iconic building
Commenting on the project, Chris Robson, technical coordinator at Carey Jones Architects, said, "Our design brief was to create an iconic building and a landmark development for student accommodation in the heart of Leeds.
"Our specification for the window and curtain walling systems was for enhanced thermal performance and insulation qualities, a slim and crisp finish to the profiles, and good color consistency for the powder coatings. We also required systems with variable depths to accommodate different glass thicknesses for additional acoustic protection to the lower levels of the building as it is located close to the inner ring road.
"We are pleased with the choice of façade systems used. Technal's products are good, are performing well and have contributed to an excellent building."
Together with the first phase, the Sky Plaza development has created a student village for up to 1,500 students. The second phase provides 349,000 square feet of student living accommodation and 4,400 square feet of retail space. It is UNITE's largest project to date.
Technal's FXi65 casement window features attractive curved profiles and provides superior thermal efficiency, using a 19-millimeter flush polyamide thermal break and innovative gasket detailing to meet or exceed the latest building regulations.
The 65-millimeter module allows more economical glass specifications to be used, whilst still delivering the targeted U-value. The FXi65 system will also accommodate 17-millimeter up to 48-millimeter glazing units for wider choice to deliver additional thermal or acoustic performance. Configuration options include fixed lights, top, side and bottom hung, pivot, tilt/turn and tilt/slide.
Versatile range
MX curtain walling is fully compatible with the FXi window range, and can be used to create a wide variety of architectural compositions from a single grid system – low- to high-rise façades, horizontal or vertical emphasis, and ribbon, structural, faceted, beaded and sloped glazing.
MX Acoustic for additional noise protection and MX62 for larger glass sizes are the latest additions to the extensive range of MX curtain walling options.
Hydro Building Systems is one of Europe's market leaders in the design, manufacture and distribution of high performance aluminium glazing solutions. Its Technal brand of glazing systems comprises a fully integrated range of aluminium curtain walling, door, window and ground floor framing products.

well, even if we choose this former pirate island especially for its nearness and easy access by ship from singapore, we have spent nice time with our eldest daughter and her boyfriend there.
first of all, the ecological sports and adventure resort loola our daughter selected, was really a good choice. we liked the silt chalets, good food and enjoyed a mass of activities: climbing at a coconut palm, sky walking, climbing wall, sailing, kayaking, bonfire, archery, table tennis, massage (is it an activity or rather a passivity?). we also enjoyed the opening of a self-made floating bar and we even have been the one and only guests one evening there. ironically, only swimming was difficult because of the low water mark (even at high tide only up to the hips).
on the other hand, we have visited 7 out of top 10 attractions according one indonesian TripAdvisor website.

Q: Git rm, gives scary "Deletion of directory failed" when I only delete one file ~/repo/samples>git rm subviews.js
rm 'samples/subviews.js'
Deletion of directory 'samples' failed. Should I try again? (y/n) n

Why does it try to delete directory when I clearly told that I want to delete the file?
To make it more clear:
The same directory contains about 10 more files and they are also tracked by git.

A: Likely, the directory samples would be empty after the file removal. Git would normally delete it then, however since your shell's working directory is also in the same directory, removal fails.

A: Upgrade to the latest version of msysgit.
I've had this for a long time with msysgit v1.7.11. After upgrading to v1.8.5 the problem disappeared.

Sean Michael Henderson, 48, Dies of Self-Inflicted Gunshot In His Car Off SR11
Sean Henderson was staying with a friend at a property off of State Road 100 south of Cody's Corner. (Google)
The Flagler County Sheriff's Office investigated the death Monday morning of Sean Michael Henderson, 48, who took his life with a gun while parked in his car at property off State Road 11 in Bunnell, south of Cody's Corner.
Henderson, a resident of Crescent City, had been staying with a friend in Bunnell for the previous two weeks following a break-up.
A friend of Henderson's told deputies that his 47-year-old girlfriend, also of Crescent City, had contacted her and told her she was concerned about Henderson's wellbeing, after the two of them had been in an argument. He had stopped responding to texts or calls at 2:45 Monday morning. The friend went to the property off of SR11 to check on Henderson and saw his vehicle, a Chevy Equinox, in the =yard, its lights on and the engine running, according to the sheriff's report.
The woman then alerted the property owner, at whose home Henderson had been staying. The property owner told deputies that Henderson had been struggling through a series of setbacks–his childhood sweetheart recently dying, the break-up with his girlfriend. He had last seen Henderson the previous day at 4 p.m., when Henderson drove him to a deer-season hunting stand. Henderson didn't intimate anything about self-harm during the drive, nor did his behavior seem worrisome. He had been drinking heavily, but that was not a change in behavior.
According to the sheriff's report, Henderson's friend told deputies that "he wished to note that he believed the gun that Sean was holding belonged to his brother because the safe in his brother's room was found to be opened. He is not sure how Sean would have known the code to unlock the safe."
The sheriff's office followed its normal protocols at the scene, dispatching its Crime Scene Investigation unit and detectives and turning over the body to the medical examiner for an autopsy, which was to be conducted in St. Augustine. The incident took place at 12500 SR11. Henderson was a resident of 495 Clifton Road in Crescent City.

I couldn't even wait to leave the Book Loft before digging in to this book!
Tim Ferriss (Author of NY Times Best Sellers The Four Hour Work Week, Tools of Titans, The Four Hour Body, and The Four Hour Chef) recently released his latest book Tribe of Mentors.
Tim is a fascinating human and honestly one of the most important people in my life (if not the most important) that I have never met and is not a family member, friend, or client.
The reason for that is the impact he has made on me through his writings, teachings, and podcast and ultimately the action I can take on my life from it all.
Kettlebell swings, a drastic reduction in my work hours, my first step towards the removal of processed food in my diet, international travel hacks, daily journaling, language learning post bachelors degree, the rewriting of my last book, the list could go on and on for takeaways I have received from his creations.
Tribe of Mentors was much of the same and I wanted to share a few top takeaways from this book without spoiling it for you! It's definitely two thumbs up and it's the quickest 650 page book you'll ever read.
The format is he asked a few hundred people that he would love to have as mentors a series of the same questions in an interview format. He shares the responses and weaves in his own stories to make it a masterpiece you'll be hard pressed to put down!
Favorite Quote: From Dita Von Teese "You can be a juicy ripe peach and there'll be someone who doesn't like peaches.
Best Surprises to be in the book: Mike D from the Beastie Boys or Ashton Kutcher. Both were outstanding!
Action Item I have immediately implemented: The concept that great lives are made up of great days which are comprised of great moments. Focus on having a few great moments every day and that will lead to a great day and keep doing that and you get yourself a great life.
Things I am thinking about: Henry David Thoreau wrote in Walden "Simplify Simplify Simplify" and I'm strategizing on how to streamline my and my clients processes in work and my own process in my personal life to just simplify everything. It makes all the sense in the world!
Largest Motivator: Amelia Boone is a full-time attorney and the best female CrossFit athlete in the world. At the same. Let's go get after it!
I could go on and on! I took over 10 pages of notes and I'm consuming more and more from the book each day.
Have you read this or any of Tim's books? Comment below with what you think!
I'll be back next week answering each of Tim's questions for my own life.
Thanks for being here in the MFWM crew and for reading/sharing this blog with your community if you see fit, join me at the next Marketing Mastery Club!

Jean-Jacques-Marie Huvé (28 April 1783, Versailles – 23 November 1852, Paris) was a French architect who practiced in Paris, working in a neoclassical manner that he refined working in the atelier of Percier and Fontaine, Napoleon's chief architects.

Biography
He was the son of the architect, Jean-Jacques Huvé, from whom he received his earliest instruction. He was named supervisor of the works at the Église de la Madeleine in 1808, and at the decease of its architect, , in 1828, he was called upon to bring the work to completion. His tenacity finally pressed the government to release the funding that permitted the church to be completed in 1842.

He was appointed architect of the Royal Mails, was admitted a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts (the Institut de France's architecture, music, and fine arts section) and served as president of the Société des Beaux-Arts.

As a teacher, he trained renowned architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in his studio. At the École des Beaux-Arts, his notable students included  and .

His only son, Félix Huvé (1816-1887), was Mayor of Sablé-sur-Sarthe.

Principal works
 Église de la Madeleine, Paris, which he finished 1828-42
 Château de Saint-Ouen, built on behalf of Louis XVIII for Zoé Talon, comtesse du Cayla, 1821-1822.
 Château de Compiègne
 Salle Ventadour, 1826–1829
