I need to revisit this code. I'm thinking UAC may be one issue. The high CPU usage is partly a side effect of the language I used. Any update on the 'Visa issues'? As a Win 7 user I'm curious because there are issues running DecaffeinatID 0.09 under Win7. Most noticeably although the UI continues to respond the program is no longer notifying of alerts and the programs CPU use is very high.
Hi all, I recently did a 3hr class on Anti-Forensics, and I've posted the video of it: http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/anti-forensics-occult-computing Interestingly, I had a lot of Infragard members there.
Thanks. My background check passed, and am now a member.
Thanks guys, you are going to make me blush.
Ah, yes. I get a lot of people asking me that. Truth be told, its a speak impediment that has mellowed with age. By buddy Rob tells me I should tell women I'm from Latveria to pick them up. Let you professors know about it, I'm trying to get more folks to use it as a teaching tool.
Glad you liked it. Glad they gave me the extra time to cove the first 5 points.
Thanks for the feed back. Maybe I need to add a profiles feature to it, that why you can change settings depending on where you are..
Ok, I got the VM running quite a bit faster now off of the internal SSD using these tips: http://blog.loxal.net/2009/04/tuning-ext4-...mance-with.html Figured I'd share.
By the way guys, I've tested out VMWare on my 901, it runs ok when I ran the vm from and external HD, but running the VM from the internal flash is laggy as hell.
This is a presentation I gave for the Kentuckiana ISSA on May 8th, 2009. It covers the basics of protecting yourself when using open WiFi on a potentially hostile networks, most notable Hacker cons, but also coffee shops, libraries, airports and so forth. Topics include: open file shares, unneeded services, sniffing and evil twin attacks. The talk is based on the Hacker Con HiJinx tri-fold I wrote awhile back. http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/...louisville-issa It gave me a chance to test out my new recording rig, but I have to figure out something to do to get better audio sync. Thanks to Larry for letting me use his picture in the presentation.

Herbs are a natural way of helping to provide nutritional support for those that display behavioural problems. One of the best known herbs is Chamomile which has been used for hundreds of years for its calming and soothing properties.
Chamomile is an essential ingredient in our Placid which is blended with Scullcap and a number of other herbs which are revered for their calming properties and support of the nervous system. This combination provides nutritional support for horses and ponies that are prone to excitability or nervousness.

The Pitch 2014- Britain's biggest small business competition
As we're sure you know by this stage, June was our Startup Bristol month…and those of you with a razor sharp intellect will no doubt have spotted that it is now July and are probably wondering why we are still chatting about it. The truth is that we've made a special concession here at Startacus and are declaring that it is still in fact June, just so that we can squeeze in news of one of Bristol's most successful entrepreneurial exports 'The Pitch'.
Now in its seventh year, The Pitch has grown into the country's longest running (and quite possibly most anticipated) competitions for small business owners. From humble beginnings as a local event in Bristol, over the past seven years The Pitch has developed into a UK wide initiative and has provided support to a huge range of small businesses the length and breadth of the country. Whether your business is already on its feet, or is just an idea waiting to hatch, if its an innovative and exciting venture that you are passionate about, The Pitch want to hear from you!
The closing date for applications is July 13th after which the top 100 entrepreneurs will be invited to attend an intensive training boot camp in either London or Manchester which will include extensive advice from a range of experts on all aspects of pitching and growing their business.
The boot camps will culminate in a live pitching event in which each of the shortlisted businesses will present for the chance to make it onto the shortlist of 30 finalists to take part in The Pitch 2014 Grand Final on 23 October at Paintworks in Bristol.
The winner of the final will be the envy of all as they will receive an extensive package of business support including 12 months free access to business lounges around the world, free taxi travel, a Nokia Lumia tablet, web design advice and online business security services from AVG and PR consultancy.
Since we're both intrigued by and looking forward to The Pitch 2014, we decided to have a quick chat with Dan Martin, one of the organisers about the competition, its growth and of course the wonderful city of Bristol:
So Dan, what in particular are the judges of The Pitch hoping to see from the entries this year?
Since 2008, when The Pitch launched, our judges have been looking for the same thing; a great idea and a passionate and committed entrepreneur behind it. They need to see that the business is solving a particular need and that there is a big enough market for it to succeed.
The Pitch has obviously seen a huge level of growth and expansion that so many other similar projects do not see. Can you pinpoint anything about The Pitch that might explain why it has been so popular?
Like the best entrepreneurs, we have had to innovate and adapt to ensure the competition has grown and the audience has stayed engaged. Traditional award schemes can be quite boring in that you enter, turn up for a posh dinner and collect a plastic trophy. What we've done is make the whole process so much more enjoyable and valuable to each and every business owner that takes part, whether in the audience or on stage. We've taken The Pitch around Britain and held it in venues including a nightclub in Liverpool, an opera house in Belfast and on the Royal Mile during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2014, we moved our final back home to Bristol and used it to show just how innovative and entrepreneurial the city is. We'll be doing the same on October 23 this year.
We've also continually listened to feedback and adapted the competition accordingly. Last year, many of our contestants said they would have benefited from pitch training before taking to the stage. So this year, we've introduced two intensive boot camps which 100 shortlisted entrepreneurs will attend and get some fantastic advice and training from a range of experts. In addition, we've also been careful to pick judges and supporters that genuinely care about helping small business owners succeed.
As you know Dan, it's our Bristol startup month and so far we seem to be getting that vibe that Bristol's entrepreneurial scene is quite unique amongst UK regional cities. Would you say that is a fair statement?
Definitely! Bristol has always been a bit of a rebel and that plays out in the massive entrepreneurial vibes that's everywhere. The city is home to Gloucester Road, the longest street of independent shops in the UK and it's no coincidence that Banksy is from Bristol or that in 2012, the residents elected an independent mayor who can be much more flexible and innovative than politicians governed by their party.
Bristol is also a very collaborative city which is not true of many places in Britain. Organisations come together all the time to innovate and promote enterprise.
But if there's one thing that sums up the spirit of Bristol, it has to be the gigantic water slide that was constructed down a major street in the city earlier this year. 100,000 people applied for just 360 places and the artist who created it shunned corporate sponsorship in favour of a crowdfunding campaign among local residents. Now that's Bristolian!
Cheers for the chat Dan and best of luck with this years competition!
If you fancy putting yourself and your business forward for The Pitch 2014 then pop yourself over to the The Pitch Website before the 13th July, when the competition closes forever! (or next year at least).
In celebration of the upcoming events Dan Izzard takes a from Simple Lampoon takes a lighter look at pitching in his article Pitching: Do You Have a Biscuit Strategy?

How to Understand Wicca
What Do Wiccans Believe?
Learn what Wiccans believe from Wiccan High Priestess Phyllis Curott in this Howcast video.
Hi, I'm Phyllis Curott and I'm a Wiccan Priestess and I'm here to talk to you about what Wiccans believe. Wiccans don't believe. Okay, but seriously, Wiccans don't believe. It's not a belief system. I think honestly if it had been I probably would have run for the hills. I'm a lawyer and a skeptic. Wicca is not about believing, it's about experiencing.
It's not about believing in a God or a Goddess, it's not believing that divinity exists, it's about experiencing. You don't believe in water, you don't believe in air; you drink it, you inhale, you know that it exists. It's still mysterious, which is why science is wonderful because it peels off layers and so we get to learn more and more about the world that we're living in. Wicca is about discovery.
It's about knowing. It's about learning. It's a spiritual practice that enables you to experience for yourself the sacredness of the world that you're living in and to learn from that. It's a constant source of engagement. You're expected, unlike most religions, to ask questions because the questions sort of open up the next path for you. You're not asked to believe, you're asked to learn, to challenge yourself, to challenge the world, to challenge teachers and to make use of the techniques so that you learn for yourself.
In the end, what you believe is what you've come to know, what you've come to experience first hand. It's through experiencing first hand that you have confidence in what you know. It's a path of personal revelation and it works. It's a system of practices and it's not rooted in suspending your disbelief, it's about using your disbelief. You challenge yourself, you challenge the world you live in, you challenge your teachers and you challenge the universe. You challenge it to reveal itself to you and it does.

Health Foundation Awards Grants to Three Counties to Develop Age-Friendly Centers of Excellence
November 18, 2019 News, Press Release
Grants support New York State's Age-Friendly NYS/Health Across All Policies Approach
For more information, contact Kerry Jones Waring, Communications and Public Relations Officer
(716) 852-3030 ex. 107
kjwaring@hfwcny.org
The Health Foundation for Western and Central New York today announced it will award grants of $100,000 each to three New York counties to support the development of Age-Friendly Centers of Excellence. Erie, Tompkins and Oneida counties are recipients of the Health Foundation awards, and each county will partner with local community organizations to fulfill the program's goals.
The Health Foundation grants are part of a partnership with the New York State Office for the Aging's Age-Friendly Planning Grant Program, an initiative that recently awarded similar grants to other counties across the state. The program is designed to help communities and local governments incorporate healthy, age-friendly community principles into all relevant policies, plans, ordinances and programs. The Health Foundation is providing additional support for the state's program by underwriting a learning collaborative and technical assistance program, led by the New York Academy of Medicine.
These grant programs support two initiatives launched by Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2017 and 2018—Health Across All Policies and Age-Friendly NYS. The governor's approach employs systems-level changes in pursuit of creating healthier, more integrated communities that allow New Yorkers of all ages to access services, participate in civic activities and travel safely and efficiently in their community. New York State was certified as the first age-friendly state in 2017 by AARP and the World Health Organization. In May 2019, the National Network of Public Health Institutes recognized New York's Health Across All Policies/Age-Friendly NYS Initiative with its Public Health Innovation Award.
These age-friendly programs recognize that community health improvement strategies must address the social determinants of health in order to build healthier communities. Social determinants of health are factors and conditions that have an impact on the health and well-being of residents, including housing, transportation, education, and environment.
"The Health Foundation is proud to support these grantees in their ongoing, comprehensive efforts to build Age-Friendly Centers of Excellence," said Nora OBrien-Suric, PhD, Health Foundation President. "Addressing the social determinants of health is a key part of improving health outcomes for all New Yorkers, and especially older adults. Age-friendly communities are the future of a healthy New York State, and we are pleased and grateful to play a role in this initiative."
"As the first age-friendly state in the nation, we are working in New York to help ensure seniors have a high quality of life that is second to none," said Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul. "The three new Age-Friendly Centers of Excellence further our commitment to incorporating the unique needs of older New Yorkers into all facets of public policy in communities across the state. We are focused on good housing and nutrition programs, access to high-quality health care, and improved well-being for all seniors."
About the Grantees
Erie County will partner with the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access at the University at Buffalo (the IDEA Center) to integrate inclusive design and livable communities strategies across all Erie County departments. Goals for this program include incorporating universal design into public spaces, technology training for older adults, establishing a homeshare program for older adults and improving access to public transportation. These efforts will align with and accelerate the recently launched Live Well Erie initiative, a cross-systems collaborative to improve the health and well-being of Erie County residents.
"Erie County is proud to accept this grant and to be able to accelerate its work of becoming an age-friendly community. Through the Live Well Erie effort, my administration has an ambitious agenda for supporting our older adults. This grant will allow Erie County to partner with UB's Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access to implement initiatives identified in the Live Well Erie process that are crucial to our older population. This is another example of County government helping ensure residents' golden years are truly golden," said County Executive Mark Poloncarz.
"The IDEA Center is thrilled that the leadership in Erie County sees value in weaving universal design into the fabric of Live Well Erie and across their departments. Universal design is a process that can be used to create inclusive buildings and spaces, programs, products, and policies to increase community participation for people of all ages. Our partnership with the County will put universal design research into practice, and our team is looking forward to participating in New York State's Age Friendly learning collaborative to learn and share best practices," said Brittany Perez, Director of Outreach and Engagement for the IDEA Center. Perez is a graduate of the Health Foundation's Health Leadership Fellows program.
The Oneida County Office for the Aging and Continuing Care, the Parkway Center and the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties will collaborate to develop an Age-Friendly Center of Excellence by capitalizing on ongoing livability efforts in the county. This collaborative effort will focus on a number of livability factors in their community, including: improving accessibility to public buildings and spaces for all ages and abilities; analyzing the county's rural transit system; improving communication around community programs and events that serve older adults; and developing county initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion and give older adults the opportunity to interact with other generations.
"Oneida County has led the Livable Community Project locally since 2016. Because we believe that planning for a community that serves all ages in an inclusive manner is essential, several County's departments have had a role on the Age Friendly Steering Committee. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties and the Parkway Center to develop an Age Friendly Community of Excellence. This additional support from the Health Foundation for Central and Western New York and the New York State Office for the Aging will help all of the project partners in Oneida County further our age friendly accomplishments," said Michael Romano, Director of the Oneida County Office for the Aging and Continuing Care.
"As a collaborative partner in Livable Communities Oneida County, the Parkway Center is thrilled that Oneida County has been selected by the Health Foundation for this grant. This initiative helps further the work that has begun on moving toward an Age-Friendly Center of Excellence in Oneida County," said Kelly Walters, Executive Director of the Parkway Center.
The Tompkins County Office for Aging will collaborate with several local organizations to continue implementing age-friendly initiatives in their community. These collaborators include the Finger Lakes Independence Center, Human Services Coalition of Tompkins County, Ithaca College Gerontology Institute, Ithaca College, Wonderful Wheelchairs, and Esther Greenhouse, an expert in universal design and aging in place. The grant from the Health Foundation will allow the Tompkins County Age-Friendly Center of Excellence to become a regional hub of expertise in order to educate and assist other partners and institutions in incorporating age-friendly practices. The Tompkins County Office for the Aging also is participating in the Health Foundation's Aging by Design program to support their age-friendly initiatives.
"Tompkins County Office for the Aging and our collaborating partners are very excited to accept this Age-Friendly Center of Excellence grant. We are looking forward to furthering our efforts in Tompkins County, creating a hub of resources and information to those engaged in the Age-Friendly process as well as being part of a larger learning collaborative. As the older population expands and lives longer than ever before, this work will be critical to support aging well. We know that when Age-Friendly principles are applied to the environment, individuals can benefit through improved health and overall wellbeing, increased independence and greater social interaction. These are benefits people of all ages can take advantage of as they grow older," said Lisa Monroe, Director of the Tompkins County Office for the Aging.
"Governor Cuomo continues to move New York ahead of the rest of the nation on public health policies and age-friendly communities. The State's partnership with the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York on this innovative grant program will take New York State to the next level in becoming the healthiest and most age-friendly state in the nation," said New York Secretary of State Rossana Rosado.
"As the first age-friendly state, New York is committed to creating thriving communities that support and attract people of all ages. Through this innovative public/private partnership between New York State, the Health Foundation of Western and Central New York, the New York Academy of Medicine, and AARP, these Age-Friendly Centers of Excellence will help incorporate age-friendly, smart growth principles into the fabric of our communities, improve the health and quality of life of all New Yorkers, and further our goal of making New York the healthiest state in the country," said Greg Olsen, Acting Director of the New York State Office for the Aging.
"By implementing age-friendly practices and focusing on health across all policies, New York is leading the way at the state and local level to address health for all. We're proud to be a partner in this effort with the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York, by creating a tailored Health and Age Across All Policies technical assistance program for these grantees. Congratulations to all the recipients of the Age-friendly Planning Grant. We look forward to working with you, and together helping to make New York the healthiest state for people of all ages," said New York Academy of Medicine President Dr. Judith Salerno.

The Guardian's "Katine Chronicles" blog examines the global shortage of health workers. According to the U.K.'s Department for International Development (DfID), more than 50 countries have a "critical shortage" of health workers and Africa needs an additional 800,000 health workers by 2015. "Of the 34 countries furthest behind in their quest to meet the [Millennium Development Goals], 22 are classed as 'fragile states,' countries in which the government is unable or unwilling to deliver basic functions to the majority of its people. Health worker shortages are particularly acute in these countries," the blog writes. The world has a shortage of 350,000 midwives, according to Frances Day-Stirk of the Royal College of Midwives.
The blog looks at the reasons behind the "inadequate number of skilled and trained health professionals," which include poor working conditions, as well as weak planning and management. "NGOs also report constant delays in the recruitment of staff due to bureaucracy and funding issues … Poor management information systems to track health workers and monitor levels are also a huge concern; while salaries are a massive disincentive for potential entrants to the healthcare sector and are low enough to provoke industrial action and migration," according to the blog.
It also notes some NGO efforts to deal with the health worker shortage, including programs by Voluntary Service Overseas, which "has 120 volunteers including doctors, nurses, midwives and management advisers in 10 countries and has medical volunteers supporting disability programmes in 13 countries – all of which helps strengthen health systems." According to the blog, the Obama administration's Global Health Initiative "is aiming, among other things, to increase the number of trained health workers and community workers appropriately deployed in 'resource-poor' countries and to improve the functioning of health management information and pharmaceutical management systems" (King, 4/13).


Hello Gersonites! My name is Nicole, and I am the Communications Coordinator at the Gerson Institute. I've had the pleasure of working here for over four years and engaging closely with Gerson patients and supporters all along the way.
In early September 2017, I had the honor of representing the Gerson Institute on an on-site visit to the Gerson Health Centre, Europe's first and only licensed Gerson clinic. Located in the town of Dobogoko just outside of Budapest, Hungary, the Gerson Health Centre opened in 2009 and was founded by two recovered patients; Dr. Melania Nagy and Beata Bishop (Gerson Therapy 30-year malignant melanoma survivor; psychotherapist; author of A Time to Heal and Cancer and After; co-writer of Healing the Gerson Way with Charlotte Gerson; former BBC journalist).
The Gerson Health Centre is a fully equipped in-patient Gerson centre with 10 rooms; a lounge room for light exercise and adjunctive treatments; beautiful, serene surroundings; and a medical team that includes an internist, oncologist, general practitioner and nurses. The Gerson Health Centre also boasts another recovered Gerson patient on it's medical staff, Dr. Telegdi, who is well-known for his family practice in the surrounding area.
The main languages spoken are English and Hungarian, with additional languages spoken including German, Romanian and Italian, and translators for Russian, Polish and French.
Without further ado, let's take a special inside look!
It's 7:00 AM in Budapest, and a cab arrives promptly to pick me up. I arrived just the night before and am trying to study the scenery as it whizzes by. We drive about fifteen minutes before I am dropped off and greeted by Noemi Borsa, Executive Administrator extraordinaire and history buff who has been at the centre since it opened; Noemi arranges patient's transportation to and from the centre, schedules follow-ups, answers email inquiries, runs scheduled day-programs, not to mention her dedication to being of the up-most support to patients and as the right-hand to Dr. Nagy. We carpool with two other staffers, including Administrative Coordinator, Edit, and Grounds Keeper, Istvan, while Noemi tells me about Hungary's rich history during the 30-45 minute drive to the centre.
Along the way, we pull over at an organic orchard, where freshly picked apples, plums and peaches are being sold. Noemi tells me that they routinely stop here to get fresh fruit for the centre as I sink my teeth into the juiciest peach I've ever had – so good! I stuff a couple into my bag for the ride home later and enjoy the rest of the drive, which is absolutely pleasant with lots of trees, beautiful countryside and quaint little villages.
We pull into the centre's driveway where we are still surrounded by trees, and I notice instantly how fresh and pure the air us. It's peaceful and quiet, with only the sound of leaves moving gently (and the occasional car). The centre is buzzing as final touches are made before the patients arrive in about an hour. There is a common room with comfortable seating and lots of reading material, not to mention a beautiful display of certificates and awards. First I meet the main nurse, Ary, who is sporting the centre's crisp new uniform, and the angels of the kitchen, who hand me a juice with a huge smile.
I take a tour of the centre and the rooms – there are eight rooms available for patients with 2 beds, and one room with 3 beds. Each room has its own bathroom equipped with a shower filter and Gerson-approved shampoo/conditioner, bath soap and toothpaste. The rooms are comfortable and bright with beautiful views from the window, a small desk and a cot for coffee enemas. There are additional restrooms located throughout the centre for companions, particularly while restrooms inside the rooms are occupied during "coffee breaks".
The centre also has a gym/lounge room where group activities such as yoga, psychotherapy and relaxation take place, in addition to individual treatments such as reflexology, homeopathy, acupuncture and other supplementary naturopathic treatments.
I join the patients for a welcome video with Beata Bishop and a short presentation from Noemi about the centre. Next, we gather for the first Gerson lunch, and I reassure the patients and their companions that they will get used to the food.
The food presentations each day are beautiful, vibrant and detailed – your eyes can't help but tell your stomach to get excited. At the Gerson Health Centre, the main course of cooked vegetables and potato for lunch and dinner are plated for the patient, to ensure variety, and a log is kept of how much was eaten to gauge appetite.
Tall windows line the perimeter of the dining room, which is also where lectures and demonstrations take place. At the dining room entrance, each patient has their own shelf where they find their daily protocol; prescribed mini-meals in-between main meals; supplement box; and hourly juices. There is a chart always posted in the dining room showing what each supplement looks like. Daily itineraries are posted right outside of the dining room so that patients know exactly when meals are served, when lectures/demonstrations are scheduled, when they have consultations with the doctors, and when group or individual therapies will take place.
Nurse Ary sporting the centre's crisp new uniform!
Later in the evening, just before dinner, I sit-in on Ary's coffee enema preparation lecture, where she and the patients walk through step-by-step how to read their protocol, how to use the pill box for supplements, how to assemble the enema bucket, setting up an enema parlor and how to wash the equipment. Ary does not stay at the centre during the entire two week session because she is also an emergency room nurse. A true pro, Ary explains in a professional, soft demeanor topics that most find uncomfortable.
We leave the centre around 8:00 PM that evening, and although jet-lag was taking its toll, I felt invigorated by my experience on just the first day. My body is entirely confused by the time change, but with great excitement I look forward to my next few days at the centre.

Two weeks ago, Tiba fled the city of Mosul with her family and took refuge in Khazer camp for displaced people, not too far from the front lines. To make her life easier and to help her move around, Handicap International will shortly provide her with mobility aids.

Over half of the people living in Khazer camp are under the age of eighteen. As the sun shines, the roadways fill with children enjoying the good weather before the winter sets in. One group has knotted together scraps of fabric to make a skipping rope. Another has invented a game with water bottles. Not far away, a little girl in a wheelchair sits in front of a tent, watching them. When she sees Handicap International's team, Tiba's face breaks into a smile. The team bends to greet her. "I want to run around and play too," she whispers to them. "I'm tired of sitting down. I want to stand up."
Farez, Tiba's father, invites the team inside the tent he shares with his parents and three children. "Tiba seemed fine when she was born," explains the single father. "She was two months premature but seemed healthy. The doctors didn't tell us that anything was wrong. But by her first birthday, she still couldn't stand up, so I went to see several doctors and they told me that she would never walk because she had most probably suffered of a lack of oxygen at birth. That's when Tiba's mother left. I was devastated. But my parents made sure I never gave up hope and did everything I could to help my daughter."
As Tiba's grandfather sweeps her up in his arms, Farez recalls life in Mosul before the Islamic State group arrived. "Our daily life was fairly normal," he says. "I worked as a taxi driver and did what I could to make ends meet for my children and parents. My only worry was the fact that Tiba couldn't go to school. They all had refused because of her disability. But she's actually very gifted and bright." In 2014, everything changed for Farez and his family. "When Mosul was captured by the Islamic State group, I became so afraid. Everything was forbidden and I was really worried about what might happen to my children, particularly Tiba. When we escaped from Mosul two weeks ago, it was as if a weight had been taken off my shoulders."
Farez and his relatives left on foot and pushed Tiba in her wheelchair for several miles. "We went from village to village. We were really afraid because they fired at people fleeing the city," he adds. "Thank God we made it here. Life isn't easy in the camp: we don't have much to do apart from staying in our tents, and with winter just around the corner conditions, are very harsh. But at least we're safe."
Tiba's father looks at his daughter, then at his other children. "All that matters now is to make sure they have the best possible future. Maybe Tiba can go to school here. We taught her to read and count at home." The organisation's professionals ask the little girl what she'd like to be when she grows up. "I want to be like you and help people in the camp," she replies with a smile.

American Arab leader urges Israeli Arabs to vote
Posted on January 5, 2015 January 5, 2015 By rayhanania No Comments on American Arab leader urges Israeli Arabs to vote
Ziad Asali, the President of the American Task Force on Palestine, the nation's most influential pro-Palestinian lobbying group in the United States, called it imperative that Israel's Arab civilians participate and not boycott the next Israeli elections which are scheduled for March 17.
Asali said that those who urge a boycott are hoping to see the creation of a "one-state solution" but he said that the one-state solution already exists in the form of the current crisis and occupation and subjugation of more than 4 million Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
Many Palestinians are urging that Arab Israeli citizens boycott the Israeli elections, but others argue that the non-Jewish Palestinian population of Israel accounts for about 20 percent of the country's vote and could help undermine the growing extremist political movement led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the growing fanatic ultra-extremist religious groups that back him and oppose Palestinian Statehood.
Ziad Asali, American Task Force on Palestine
"Definitely, 100 percent, they [Palestinian citizens of Israel] have to be enfranchised and they have to generate enough political support to come up with the solution," Asali said during an interview on "Talk of the Town" Radio broadcast Friday Jan. 2, 2015 on 1450 AM and simulcast on www.YahalaVoice.com.
"We have to be working within the system to be empowering all of the forces in the United States … to support the policy of our nation which is support of the two-state solution."
Asali said that Palestinians can continue to see hope despite the failure of Palestinians to win United Nations backing for their declaration of state sovereignty.
"We had the collapse and failure of nine months of negotiations last year, and then we had the war in Gaza right after that which was another disappointment, and now the turn to the UN Security Council was problematic in the first place because there were not enough votes to support it," Asali said.
"The possibilities ranging from war and turning to the international community are diminishing … and it is an uphill fight, and it is discouraging. But at the end of the day, everyone of us has to keep in mind that creating a State of Palestine alongside Israel is the only solution. All other options are not solutions. At sometime, there will be a solution. No conflict goes unresolved forever. And for stability, there has to be a Palestinian State along side of Israel."
Asali said the Palestinian move to apply for membership at the International Criminal Court (ICC) might simply provoke another political fight.
The resolution to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state failed to receive the minimum nine votes in the UN Security Council last week, but Asali said that even if the Palestinians had received nine votes, the United States most likely would have vetoed the resolution, as it has done dozens of times over the past 67 years.
Asali agreed that American President Barack Obama does support Palestinian aspirations for freedom and statehood, but wants to do it through a negotiating process.
"It is safe to say that the policy of the United States is clearly in favor of supporting the establishment of a Palestinian State," Asali said. "Clearly war is not an option any more. We understand there is no military solution for this issue. It has to be a political solution."

Earth 2 #8 Review
ComicsDC ComicsReviews
Sean Lamont
Written by James Robinson
Art by Yildiray Cinar
Reviewed by Sean Lamont
As with a few other titles on the market, I have been a lonely proponent of Earth 2 in my current company. Self-contained, an ever expanding cast, and entertaining banter have kept the book fairly high on my read list each month. I like what I like, and Earth 2 has personally been a fun read for me in the eight issues that have come before this one. Unfortunately, while Robinson continues to take an interesting approach to the world-building of his own little pocket corner of the DCU, focusing on the villains as much as the heroes that comprise his setting; I fear the peg he chose to hang this issue's cap upon was just not intriguing enough to carry the story being told, regardless of its place in servitude to the needs of the greater overarching tale. Sans frills, it just doesn't cut the mustard.
The second issue to focus solely on one of the great villains of Earth 2, this installment starts to fill in the gaps on who Steppenwolf is and what his goals entail. Zooming into the faux-nation of Dherain, the renegade state that sided with the Apokoliptan forces during the great war five years earlier, we see that Steppenwolf has sought refuge in the isolationist nation to rebuild his power base. Suspecting betrayal though, his loyal guard Fury goes on the offensive to protect her master. But are the two of them enough to stand up to the unified might of an entire nation?
I pointed out entertaining banter as one of the facets that make me enjoy this title, and while the dialogue between the King of Dherain and Steppenwolf contains the barbed wit I have grown to like, the rest of the abundant word balloons feel heavy-handed with exposition. Guards explaining who they are, soldiers giving history lessons to one another, and even Steppenwolf diatribing to ridiculous degrees. I completely understand the intended goal of the issue, and even applaud the audacity to give equal time to the less-moral side of the equation in order to build more exciting future tales; but the execution on this particular chapter left me pondering what complexities there are with Steppenwolf to explore. Sure, he is intelligent and has battle prowess, but emotionally there is nothing there other than the cliche 'General who wants to take over the world'. His protege Fury on the other hand, struck me as much more intriguing from the angles of goals and motive. And while I am certain there will be some stamping feet to the character's identity, my tolerance for redesigns may be higher than most, as the reveal personally only added to the interest this character can generate. This may also be in no small part to the distinct lack of focus on her, causing the readers curiosity to pique even higher from the lack of information, rather than sink (ala Steppenwolf) due to curiosity expectations not being met.
While Nicola Scott has been dominating the pages in previous issues, it is always quite nice to see Cinar step up to the plate and deliver an absolutely beautiful rendition in his own right. Attentive to detailing in both the fore and background, his panels are filled with life, yet clean in their delivery. His action sequences are quite animated, with a time-lapse axe throw gracing one page, while dual panels on another show the before and after-effects of one action in the struggle; lending an air of motion to the pages overall. In other aspects, I have highlighted two colorists in my time reviewing, and I was about to make it a third…until I noticed it was Alex Sinclair again on this book. Sneaky. Regardless, his color work here is astounding as well, vibrant and assertive without drawing attention away from the overall experience.
Sadly, a Pass. It's not a horrible issue, but it lacks that je nes sais quoi that have made his earlier entries sing with fun and intrigue in my opinion. I am hopeful that next issue will restore the direction I have been enjoying, but I do not wish to discourage his approach at breathing life into the Earth 2 world in these methods either, as the Terry Sloan issues were quite enjoyable. And while I was entertained by those villain spotlights as well as earlier issues of Earth 2, and absolutely adored Robinson's Shade maxi-series, it is precisely because I know he is capable of so much better that this issue feels a bit off par to myself.
Jump-On Point: Issue #8 would be easy to walk in on cold, but reading Issue #1 would give perspective to the key players at hand.

Under US sanctions, Iran and Venezuela strike oil export deal
Published at 01:46 pm September 25th, 2021
According to the Treasury Department, any transactions with NIOC by a non-US person are generally subject to secondary sanctions.
Venezuela has agreed to a key contract to swap its heavy oil for Iranian condensate that it can use to improve the quality of its tar-like crude, with the first cargoes due this week, five people close to the deal said.
As the South American country seeks to boost its flagging oil exports in the face of US sanctions, according to the sources, the deal between state-run firms Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) and National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) deepens the cooperation between two of Washington's foes.
One of the people said the swap agreement is planned to last for six months in its first phase but could be extended.
Reuters could not immediately determine other details of the impact.
The oil ministries of Venezuela and Iran, and state-run PDVSA and NIOC did not reply to requests for comment. The deal could be a breach of US sanctions on both nations, according to a Treasury Department email to Reuters which cited US government orders that establish the punitive measures.
US sanctions programs not only forbid Americans from doing business with the oil sectors of Iran and Venezuela but also threaten to impose "secondary sanctions" against any non-U.S. person or entity that carries out transactions with either countries' oil companies.
Secondary sanctions can carry a range of penalties against those targeted, including cutting off access to the US financial system, fines or the freezing of US assets.
"Any transactions with NIOC by non-US persons are generally subject to secondary sanctions," the Treasury Department said in response to a question about the deal. It also said it "retains authority to impose sanctions on any person that is determined to operate in the oil sector of the Venezuelan economy," but did not specifically address whether the current deal is a sanctions breach.
The US sanctions are often applied at the discretion of the administration in power.
Former US President Donald Trump's government seized Iranian fuel cargoes at sea bound for Venezuela for alleged sanction busting last year, but his successor Joe Biden has made no similar moves.
In Washington, a source familiar with the matter said the swap arrangement between Venezuela and Iran has been on the radar screens of US government officials as a likely sanctions violation in recent months and they want to see how far it will go in practical terms.
US officials are concerned, the source said, that Iranian diluent shipments could help provide President Nicolas Maduro with more of a financial lifeline as he negotiates with the Venezuelan opposition towards elections.
Sanctions on both nations have crimped their oil sales in recent years, spurring NIOC to support Venezuela - including through shipping services and fuel swaps - in allocating exports to Asia. read more
In a meeting at the UN General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, the foreign ministers of Venezuela and Iran publicly stated their commitment to stronger bilateral trade, despite the US attempts to block it.
Trump's tightening of sanctions contributed last year to a 38% fall in Venezuela's oil exports - the backbone of its economy - to their lowest level in 77 years and curtailed sources of fuel imports, worsening gasoline shortages in the nation of some 30 million people.
A US Treasury spokesperson said the department was "concerned" about reports of oil deals between Venezuela and Iran, but had not verified details.
"We will continue to enforce both our Iran and Venezuela-related sanctions," the spokesperson said. Treasury "has demonstrated its willingness" to blacklist entities who support Iranian attempts to evade U.S. sanctions and who "further enable their destabilizing behaviour around the world," the official added.
The swap contract would provide PDVSA with a steady supply of condensate, which it needs to dilute the output of extra-heavy oil from the Orinoco Belt, its largest producing region, the people said. The bituminous crude requires mixing before it can be transported and exported.
In return, Iran will receive shipments of Venezuelan heavy oil that it can market in Asia, said the people, who declined to be identified as they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Cargoes this week
PDVSA has boosted oil swaps to minimize cash payments since the U.S. Treasury Department in 2019 blocked the company from using U.S. dollars. Washington has also sanctioned foreign companies for receiving or shipping Venezuelan oil.
Since last year, PDVSA has imported two cargoes of Iranian condensate in one-off swap deals to meet specific needs for diluents, and it has also exchanged Venezuelan jet fuel for Iranian gasoline.
The new contract would help PDVSA secure a source of diluents, stabilizing exports of the Orinoco's crude blends while allowing its own lighter oil to be refined in Venezuela to produce badly needed motor fuel, three of the people said.
The first 1.9 million-barrel cargo of Venezuela's Merey heavy crude under the new swap set sail earlier this week from PDVSA's Jose port on the very large crude carrier (VLCC) Felicity, owned and operated by National Iranian Tanker Co (NITC), according to the three people and monitoring service TankerTrackers.com.
NITC, a unit of NIOC, did not reply to a request for comment.
The vessel was not included in PDVSA's monthly port schedules for September, which lists planned imports and exports. However, TankerTrackers.com identified it while at Jose this month.
The Venezuelan crude shipment is a partial payment for a cargo of 2 million barrels of Iranian condensate that arrived in Venezuela on Thursday, according to the three sources and one of PDVSA's port schedules.
Little enforcement
Last year, the previous Trump administration seized over 1 million barrels of Iranian fuel bound for Venezuela and blacklisted five tanker captains, as part of a "maximum pressure" strategy, but the United States has not interdicted recent Iranian supplies to Venezuela.
The US State Department declined to comment on the deal. A Treasury spokesperson did not respond to a Reuters question on how concerned the government might be that Iran-Venezuela deals would allow PDVSA to step up exports.
US government officials have insisted they do not plan to ease sanctions on Venezuela unless Maduro takes definitive steps toward free and fair elections.
Trump's curbs on established companies doing business with PDVSA prompted the socialist-ruled nation to turn to swaps with Iran and other countries while trading with a series of little-known customers.
PDVSA's new customers and swaps have allowed it to keep exports stable around 650,000 barrels per day (BPD) this year after they zigzagged in 2020.
However, a worsening shortage of diluents has recently limited oil exports, placing the Orinoco Belt production in an "emergency", according to PDVSA documents from August and September related to its output status that was reviewed by Reuters.
PDVSA plans to mix the Iranian condensate with extra-heavy oil to produce diluted crude oil, a grade demanded by Asian refiners that it has struggled to export since late 2019 when suppliers halted diluent shipments due to sanctions, the three sources said.

Whom will India support in the election of ICC Chairman? Indications match board sources
Bangla Hunt Desk: Shashank Manohar's term as ICC chairman has already expired. He has submitted his resignation letter. At the moment, the post of ICC chairman is completely vacant. The ICC will get their new chairman next December. Only two people have been nominated for the new ICC chairmanship, Greg Berkel of New Zealand and Imran Khoja of Singapore.
The biggest question at the moment is who will the BCCI support for the post of ICC chairman? According to board sources, BCCI will not support New Zealand's Greg Berkel, but Singapore's Imran Khoja.
Because if New Zealand's Greg Berkel takes over as ICC chairman, it will be good for the Indian Cricket Board because Greg Berkel has already made a number of promises to the Indian Cricket Board. That is why the Indian Cricket Board will benefit if he takes over as chairman, so the Indian Cricket Board will support New Zealand's Greg Berkel for the ICC chairmanship. Greg Berkel has expressed interest in doing a bilateral series which the Indian Cricket Board also wants. That is why the BCCI has expressed interest in making Greg Berkel chairman of the ICC. Although there is still a month to go, it is not possible to say anything right now.

MP and relatives of Oxted crash victims win bid to reduce road speed limit
The speed limit on Titsey Road, near Oxted, will be lowered to 40mph thanks to a campaign following the deaths of Hannah Saunders and Lee Palmer
Natasha Salmon
East Surrey MP Sam Gyimah and Cllr Nick Skellett join Madeline Palmer and David & Patricia Sanders in Titsey Road, Oxted
An Oxted road where a pregnant woman and her fiancé were killed in a collision is to have its speed limit cut to 40mph.
Campaigners have welcomed the change in Titsey Road after Hannah Saunders, 20, and Lee Palmer, 26, were killed when their car slid across the road and collided with another car on April 25.
Relatives of the couple worked with East Surrey MP Sam Gyimah in a bid to get Surrey Highways to lower the speed limit and they visited the site in October.
Mr Gyimah said: "The collision on Titsey Road was an unthinkable tragedy that demonstrated, in the worst way possible, the need for better safety precautions along this stretch of road.
"Having visited the site I welcome the action that is being taken, which is a testament to the efforts of both the families involved and Councillor Nick Skellett.
"I hope that the lower speed limit will be in place as soon as possible."
The lower speed limit can only be introduced through the making of a speed limit order under the relevant legislation.
Having conducted surveys of existing traffic speeds and consulted with the police, Surrey Highways have given notice that the order will be made.
A photo left at the scene of the crash in Oxted.
At an inquest earlier this month, assistant coroner for Surrey Simon Wickens found that the couple had died as a result of multiple injuries sustained in a road traffic collision.
Mr Wickens heard evidence from Rita Heath, who was driving the Toyota Hilux that was in collision with the couple's bllack Renault Clio.
She said it was raining as she was driving towards Oxted, when she approached a right-hand bend and saw the couple's car.
The inquest also heard how Hannah and Lee were in the process of moving into their own home at the time of the collision and had just found out that Hannah was pregnant, while Lee had recently qualified as a butcher at Morrisons in Oxted.
Giving his conclusion, Mr Wickens said: "Hannah was struggling to control her car at the time. It would have been a fast-moving incident. There was very little more Rita Heath could do.
"It's speculation to say that an animal could have run out and she was not paying attention. Road conditions are perhaps the more likely reason for losing control.
"In reality, we shall never know the reason Hannah lost control."

In the lecture, I offered an overview of the epistle of James that focused on two elements: (1) The setup of the content of the entire epistle in Chapter One, and (2) the author's description of justification through the interaction between faith and deeds.
The video is below, and the handout can be downloaded here.
A wonderful lecture and interaction with the students. Now I can go back and read James with a new perspective. Loved to be able to load down the Lecture notes and I could make notes. May we have more of Daniel Eng lectures?

South Africa: Slow Growth and High Inflation Suggest Depreciation Ahead
Global Market 3549 VIEWS
Monday, November 13, 2017 3:55 PM / BMI Research
BMI View: After a sizeable multiquarter rally, challenging political dynamics and falling real yields suggest that the South African rand is poised for depreciation in the months ahead. Over a multiyear time horizon the downtrend is likely to continue given a combination of structurally high inflation and low growth.
Short-Term Outlook (three-to-six months)
We see the rand as set for a gradual sell-off in the months ahead, forecasting the currency will end 2017 at ZAR13.95/USD. This is revised from our prior forecast of ZAR13.10/USD, and reflects our view that the resumption of a gradual downtrend is likely to begin before the end of this year.
Real yields are likely past their peak at this stage. While the country had benefitted from steadily cooling price pressures following severe drought, food prices have already come in substantially on the back of a record harvest and substantial further disinflation will be somewhat limited, especially given less favourable base effects toward the end of this year. At the same time, we are factoring in further modest monetary easing in H217.
While the South African Reserve Bank kept the benchmark interest rate on hold at the September Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, we forecast an additional 25bps worth of cuts before end-2017. From a technical perspective, the currency is testing multi-year support at ZAR13.58/USD at the time of writing (October 3). A break of this level could presage the start of a more sustained downtrend.
Long-Term Outlook (six-to-24 months)
Over a multi-quarter timeframe, we expect the rand will maintain a depreciatory trajectory, with sluggish growth and higher inflation relative to the US weighing on economic competitiveness. We forecast the currency will average ZAR14.00/USD in 2018, implying a 4.6% depreciation in spot terms from our forecasted 2017 average.
Inflation has cooled noticeably in recent months, as a record harvest has helped to temper high food prices. However, over a multiyear time horizon, price growth will remain structurally elevated. Wages remain under upward pressure, even despite limited gains in productivity given strong unions and a limited number of skilled workers. Moreover, market monopolisation in certain key sectors, allowing for de facto cartels, has limited scope for downward adjustment in prices.
At the same time, economic growth will remain structurally subdued. Indeed, we forecast average real GDP growth of just 1.6% over the next five years. On top of a relatively low savings rate (16.3% of GDP in 2016), the country's limited prospects for reform will inhibit scope for a significant injection of foreign savings, weighing on multi-year growth potential.
We have long noted that the ruling African National Congress (ANC)'s December elective conference – when a new party leader will be chosen – has substantially increased uncertainty about the direction of policy and likely kept many investors on the sidelines. However, even after the conference, we believe the regulatory environment will remain challenging, tempering foreign investment.
A victory by a 'traditionalist', candidate (most likely Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma) would likely see a continuation of the status quo, including a heavy reliance on leftist rhetoric and patronage politics. While some of the most left-leaning policies (such as land expropriation without compensation) would be unlikely to move ahead, a traditionalist candidate would likely feel pressure from the party's support base to follow through with some promises ahead of the 2019 general election.
Even a win by the more business-friendly Cyril Ramaphosa would be unlikely to augur a shift toward significant reforms with deep divisions within the ruling party stymieing any substantive attempt at change. This suggests that crucial reforms to improve access to education, cut red tape and improve the efficacy of government spending likely remain off the cards.
Risks to Outlook
The main risks to our view are skewed to the downside. While we believe political risk has been priced in to the rand's trajectory ahead of the ruling ANC's December elective conference to a certain extent, a surprise result could prompt a much sharper than expected sell off.
For example, while not our core view, we cannot rule out the risk that the losing faction of the ANC challenges the legitimacy of the elective conference results. Such an outcome would significantly prolong political uncertainty and put downward pressure on the rand.
Alternatively, greater than anticipated monetary tightening in the US would strengthen the US dollar, exerting downward pressure on emerging market exchange rates, including the rand. At this stage, we are factoring in no further monetary tightening by the US Federal Reserve this year, and only two hikes (of 25bps each) next year. However, efforts to move ahead with the US tax cuts being pushed forward, the risks to this view are skewed to the upside.

As most of the folks who work at Veracode know, I'm brand new to the IT security space. I've been in start-ups most of my career and I've touched many industry verticals, but this is my first foray into security. I'm not sure if it was a complete coincidence, but from the moment my initial discussions began with Veracode I started to hear about breaches almost every day. Our new CEO, Bob Brennan, and I discussed this phenomenon the other day. He's only been at the company for ten weeks, and he too attested to suffering from this "security tunnel vision". But we both questioned whether it was simply tunnel vision or if something really big is happening with IT Security. Let's just look at this past week.
On Monday we all heard the news that Anonymous released details of an FBI call to Scotland Yard and the main topic of that call – Anonymous! And you didn't have to be an IT security practitioner to notice this; it made the Washington Post and was featured on the CBS Evening News! That same day here in the Boston area we got word that the Boston PD had successfully restored their website after it had been hacked the previous week. On Tuesday came the Symantec announcement that hackers posted source code after a failed extortion attempt. This one might have been noticed by mostly security professionals as the news was broken by a security-focused online publication, Dark Reading, but it wasn't too long before it hit the Wall Street Journal, CBS News and the LA Times. So even if I wasn't at a security company right now, chances are I would have heard about this too. Wednesday comes with the headline Syrian President Bashar Assad's Email Hacked. This one barely made the rounds with the security pubs, so I was more likely to notice this if I followed world politics or was doing a search for Barbara Walters as it was an e-mail to Assad to prepare him for an interview with the famed ABC newscaster that garnered much of the coverage. In the Boston-area (where Veracode is located) we all woke up to this on Thursday morning: One of our major daily newspapers, The Boston Herald, was shouting a dire warning of more attacks to come. For any Herald subscriber or commuter who passes at least a half dozen newspaper racks in the morning this one was very hard to miss – so I don't think I noticed this because I'm now "in security". Today might have been the only day this week where I didn't see or hear something new. While many media outlets recycled the security stories above, there didn't appear to be a major story. If I was a Bank of America customer I might have gotten a letter to notifying me that my credit card may have been compromised, but I'm not a customer. However, I do know a few and at least one of them got this letter along with a new credit card and card number – a complete pain if you have it stored on any number of sites to take advantage of the 'quick check-out' option. But who knows, today isn't over yet. As security professionals do we all just suffer from "security tunnel vision" or is something major shifting in our industry? Is it all just related to the significant rise in hactivism or the 24-hour news cycle requiring that every little thing become a news story? Is the new SEC Disclosure Guidance forcing companies to release more breach information than they ever have in the past? What's up with this? We'd love your thoughts.

I've kept perry made this way for over a year and it does taste good! It's ready to drink in about 3 weeks if you can't wait!
Quantity- Every pint of juice makes a pint of perry!
If you've got plenty of pears you can make Perry.
It's superb, dry as a bone and a sort of pear cider.
The french drink it a lot, it's nothing like babycham, it's a real toper's tipple!
Pick nice fresh pears, no bruised or damaged ones.
Crush them, use a hammer, a commercial crusher(we sell them) or a pulpmaster( 15.79 from stock at time of writing). The pulpmaster is a blade that you attach to an electric drill, it's a bit Heath Robinson but works well.
Then press the pears to get the juice out--you'll need a lot of muscle or a press off us(between 60 to 300 pounds depending on size or you'll have to make one. We do hire a small press for £5.00 a week, £50.00 deposit.
You can freeze the pears and when they defrost the juice will run easier.
Then add yeast and ferment out as you would beer.
Ferment it in a bucket or in a fermenter with an airlock is best, if you make just a gallon use a demi john.
Leave about a week and then syphon into bottles or a plastic beer barrel. You can use plastic beer bottles. Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar per pint of perry and leave for about a month and drink carefully.
Enjoy the taste of a real old traditional drink!

The ECHA examines all testing proposals in the registration dossiers to avoid unnecessary animal tests. It verifies whether the proposed tests are necessary in order to enable the assessment of the possible risks of a substance. It also checks whether it can be avoided that a test is carried out several times, if there are several registrants for the same substance.
Every testing proposal with vertebrates is also published on the ECHA website. Third parties have the possibility to provide relevant information concerning this to the ECHA.
The outcome of the evaluation of the test proposal is shared by the ECHA with all member states so as to come to a general agreement concerning this.
The ECHA can examine every registration dossier in order to verify whether the correct information is available and whether it is offered correctly. With this, the ECHA can decide that additional information or testings are necessary.
If the ECHA decides that supplementary information is required, this point of view is shared with all member states in order to come to a general agreement concerning this.
If a substance can pose a risk to the environment or human health, the ECHA and the member states will add this substance to a list for 'substance evaluation'. This is done on the basis of selection criteria, which may change every year. For every substance on the list, a member state is assigned for carrying out the evaluation.
A substance is evaluated by the member state on the basis of the information in the registration file(s) and possibly other relevant information. The evaluating member state has twelve months to decide whether additional information should be requested in order to better identify the possible risk.
If the member state decides that supplementary information is necessary, this point of view will be shared with all member states and with the ECHA in order to come to a general agreement concerning this.
Upon receipt of the possibly requested information, the evaluating member state has once again twelve months to assess the substance.
As soon as the substance evaluation has been concluded, the evaluating member state can verify as to how the information can be further used, for instance for the authorisation or restriction procedures or for the classification and labelling of chemicals.

By most measures Elisabeth Hasselbeck's 15 minutes of fame should have long since expired.
Hasselbeck's first media exposure came when she starred on the CBS series Survivor's second season, and reality show stars rarely stick around for long–a certain Kardashian clan notwithstanding.
A funny thing happened to Andy Warhol's infamous time peg. Audiences got to know her via her plum gig on The View where she stood tall as the lone conservative battling a 9/11 Truther (Rosie O'Donnell) and a future Current TV host (Joy Behar).
Now, Hasselbeck finds herself in friendlier ideological terrain as part of the revamped Fox & Friends morning show. And, only a few days into her latest media gig, the former reality show star reminds us once more of her versatile personality.
This week, the new host smoothly transitioned to the show's "curvy" couch, paid homage to her View peers and showed she belongs in the morning show landscape. She also boosted the show's youthful demographic while topping morning shows seen on both CNN and MSNBC.
Hasselbeck brought a motherly touch to the show, ribbing the aggressive cutting of a massive cake to honor the Air Force's 66th birthday as something she doesn't want her kiddies to emulate. On her first day, the new host thanked The View for allowing her to work alongside, and glean interviewing skills, from legendary broadcaster Barbara Walters.
And she proved her physical prowess by participating in a gladiator style balancing contest as part of the show's "bonding" rituals.
Co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade seemed elated to have Hasselbeck on their team. They know what viewers will soon find out. Hasselbeck is the right choice to fuel Fox & Friends in the weeks and months to come.
Fox & Friends airs at 6 a.m. EST weekdays on Fox News.
