I'd like to formally kick off a series of "book reviews of books I've only just begun to read." Recently I've been finding that the responses and questions I have at first blush are more interesting than those that I have after a book has worn me down a bit. So rather than "review" what has already begun to settle, I propose a new form: the book speculation.
No doubt it would be fitting to begin with How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read, which I–irony be damned–am in the throes of reading. But that will have to wait. There are no rules, yet, for this new form, other than this: strike while the thought is unduly fresh. Hence, the book to speculate on is the one in front of me. And that happens to be The Death and Life of the Great American School System, by Diane Ravitch.
I cracked the cover primarily because I was curious what a popular book on education looks like. It was a question of style. All the more pressing for the ambivalence I felt about the appropriation of—or "nod" to—the title of Jane Jacobs' seminal work. Somehow in Jane Jacobs' hands it seemed less sensationalistic, counterbalancing, as she did, the sheer provocation of it with such close observation of the pedestrian. We shall see. The point being that I was curious how she would go about the undertaking.
I already knew, of course, that I would run into a frustration over her conservatism around "faddish" notions like multiculturalism. Give her a timeless, politically "neutral" curriculum any day. So imagine my surprise when she begins by arguing that she has changed her mind on her backing of recent, initially conservatively driven initiatives, around accountability and school choice.
Surely it could not be this kind of book ahead of us? A confessional? A realignment of fidelity? I immediately began to think that one should be suspicious of such easy confessions. In the public domain the mea culpa may serve to relieve pressure when public determination of guilt is massive and hostile. But one could hardly expect that scenario here. Where was the crime?
Gleefully smug. The best defense against the charge of flip-flopping is not to defend it at all, but to embrace it and mount the counter accusation of provincial, bloody-minded persistence. Take the high ground. The beauty of this is that it also clears one's name: it was not I but the facts that changed.
And this, indeed, appears to be Ravitch's strategy. What we see is that the real leverage of an unforced confession is that one reinforces a more essential truth. In fact Ravitch's beef with the conservative agenda is that it turns out to not be conservative enough, failing to carry through on a commitment to true standards. In other words, she allows herself to reaffirm what she has always stood for, an historic approach free from faddishness. (A catch-all term, apparently, for anything that doesn't submit to the progressive vision of a neutral history.) Good old-fashioned education.
Her mistake, according to her, was to get swept up in what turned out to be a fad itself. Thus the confession allows her to re-articulate her fundamental stance towards education.
Such a person turns out to be more flexible than the hypothetical accuser, unable to change course. But also, interestingly enough, more properly steadfast as well. One can maintain a consistent relation to principle (it is the facts that were truly in error) while the single-note partisan accuser turns out to be unmoored, floating on the tides of the moment.
A perfect style for someone committed to the importance of the transmission of a standard content in the form of curriculum, and to a notion of history that needs to be protected from the faddish political forces that would distort it.
As I read, this serves as a sort of stylistic note, a way to recognize a point of view that otherwise slips quietly to the background, due to a relentlessly unflappable and sensible tone. Even her suggestion that her warnings might be too late barely breaks a sweat.
Which actually makes for something of a refreshing read….

Comparing Afghan Apples With Vietnamese Oranges, or Why There Is No Solution For Afghanistan
Once upon a time, not too long ago, there would have been a solution for Afghanistan, one that had a realistic chance of success. "Success" would have meant a stabilization of the modest gains made during the first three of the post-war years (2002-2004), and the "solution" would have looked roughly as follows: a highly focused international agenda for development that takes local preferences seriously and prioritizes micro-level economic recovery and public health interventions over laudable but utterly unrealistic "all-in-one" notions of human development, ignorant of inherent tensions between traditional and modern constituencies; basic democratization from below (Roland Paris was right yet even more emphasis needs to be put on the local dimension); and a pragmatic regional strategy of political accommodation of all radical stakeholders, not just those in the Northern Alliance, both within the country and around its borders.
But in a tragic parallel to the botched interventions in Iraq and East Timor, a tiny piece of newly independent soil misunderstood and misgoverned by the United Nations following the aftermath of its secession from Indonesia, it came otherwise. Under pressure to show results of hurried efforts, the development industry kept complicitly silent when Afghanistan, too, was declared a success story early on. "Afghan women shed their burqas" was one among thousands of captions epitomizing the hope of international observers for the country. The acute crisis in Iraq overshadowed a looming crisis in Afghanistan and zapped away critical resources, glossing over "increasing frustration and anger from a population which once saw the international intervention in Afghanistan as a source of hope." Today, even those few female members of the Afghan Lower House who had been declared role models and examples of a new Afghanistan advocate for a complete and immediate withdrawal of U.S. military forces.
Too late did international strongmen stationed in Kabul realize that the discussion of whether or not the Taliban should be brought into the realm of a political settlement was a smokescreen behind which the sitting Afghan president was crafting his very own patronage politics. Today, "there is no solution for Afghanistan without a solution for Pakistan," writes Robert Kaplan (hardly the reincarnation of a dove) in The Atlantic. "There is no solution for Afghanistan without Iran," adds an EU think tank. All the while, Afghans keep dying, and with them an increasing number of foreign soldiers.
In the wake of President Obama's much-awaited decision to further increase the presence of U.S. troops in the country, we are being assured that Afghanistan is not the new Vietnam [one is tempted to add that in the long run, this would almost amount to a positive scenario]. "Unlike Vietnam, we are joined by a broad coalition of 43 nations that recognizes the legitimacy of our action," the President points out. "Unlike Vietnam, we are not facing a broad-based popular insurgency. And most importantly, unlike Vietnam, the American people were viciously attacked from Afghanistan, and remain a target for those same extremists who are plotting along its border." Clearly no one envies Obama's position, inherited from an incompetent and unwilling previous administration. But his audacity of hope for Afghanistan is tragically misguided.
What matters much more than similarities or differences between the old and new Vietnam scenarios is the West's overconfidence in the power of policies, which in turn is conditioned on the creation and maintenance of a military 'safe zone' for development. This approach of militarily enforced human progress already failed once, just that the United States in that case happened to support stasis against change. Indeed, to suggest that Afghanistan has followed a historical path distinct from Vietnam's ignores that not even thirty years ago, modernism and socialism in Afghan politics were one and the same. City-based leftist progressive parties were pitted against rural conservative interests which received heavy backing by the Reagan administration, carving out faultlines of conflict that underpin today's radicalized landscape. The failure of the Afghan communist experiment did not mean the triumph of pseudo-democratic capitalism but the victory of revisionism.
The international mission in Afghanistan will not fail because of a lack of a broad coalition. It will fail, and in the course of its failure many more will fall, because external forces and the international development industry's policy machinery are too far removed from the history and reality of Afghan lives. To Afghans in Khost, Kunduz and Kandahar, the fact that "the American people were viciously attacked from Afghanistan" must sound cynical at best. In the short run, it may well serve to justify sending even more troops. But Afghanistan's domestic problems, created and exacerbated by the international "community" prior, during and after the reign of the Taliban, will outlast any officially declared deadline for peace.

New Article in Critical Planning
The key questions that I am posing in this article are: how can we explain city-level politics in two countries located at the very fringes of global capitalism, and how can a resulting reconfigured theoretical framework be integrated into an international comparative urban research agenda.
Contemporary Sierra Leone and Afghanistan present major structural differences compared to highly industrialized settings, as their main cities have not been sites of capitalist production. At the same time, both countries have recently experienced major international interventions in the context of intra-state wars. I show how these two characteristics render the explanatory power of established theories of urban politics deficient.
I then examine key features of recent political restructuring in Freetown and Kabul. I pay specific attention to the incentive structures that have resulted from recent international interventions and how they shape urban politics. I illustrate how these incentives steer resource flows and forge new poles of accumulation and control—both within the respective settings and outside of them—to the detriment of local policy space.
I thus show that while the starting point for theory reformulation remains the urban context, a crucial conceptual challenge is to capture the alliances between national and international institutions and organizations, and to examine how they influence city-level politics. I ultimately argue that multiscalar governance as a theoretical approach is applicable to cities in conflict zones only if it integrates an analysis of international politics as a major determinant of local urban politics.

Afghanistan Commentary on Swedish Radio
For the Swedish speakers among you, check out Marcus Hansson's 20-minute feature on Afghanistan's botched reconstruction, broadcast on September 2, 2009 on Swedish Radio 1.
It includes interviews with several international observers. For instance, Antonio Donini at the Fletcher School comments on the aid industry and the discrepancy between its global mobility and its lack of effectiveness.
In my contribution (16min 52sec – 18min 08sec), I focus on the local dimension, highlighting how supposedly 'bottom up' processes of 'local empowerment' were in reality almost entirely driven by donors.
Racial Discrimination at the World Bank: New GAP Report
Last week, the Government Accountability Project (GAP) released a report that investigates and finds evidence of racial discrimination against black professional grade employees at the World Bank. The report, which documents the treatment of these employees in recruitment, retention and internal judicial decisions, finds that a race ceiling exists at the institution, and that the Bank's legal system fails to address racial discrimination adequately.
Specifically, the report details that of over 3,500 professional grade World Bank staff worldwide (more than 1,000 of whom are US Americans), there are only four black US Americans. In addition, the report details how other black bank staff, such as black Caribbean nationals and black African employees, are also underrepresented.

Afghanistan: A Victory for Women – A Defeat of Democracy?
The Afghan Ministry of Justice has presented a revised version of a new law regulating marital affairs for the country's Shi'ite minority. Many of its previous medieval provisions have been scrapped. No longer does it prescribe the frequency of sexual activity that Shi'ite women in Afghanistan would have had to observe, thus practically legalizing domestic rape; no longer does it allow men to prevent their wives from leaving the compounds where they live.
This is great news for Afghanistan's Shi'ite women and for women living under repression, religious or otherwise, more generally. But the process also provides reason for concern.
US-installed Afghan President Karzai had in fact quietly signed the earlier version of the law, apparently hoping that it would win him the support of Shi'ite voters in the forthcoming presidential election in September. With women formally allowed to vote, Karzai did not seem overly concerned that while some Shi'ite men might have found their extended rights to subdue their wives appealing, most Shi'ite women might have retaliated by voting for other candidates.
In fact, at least in theory one could have expected a zero effect of this political move: male votes in favor canceled out by female votes against. This, of course, presumes that Afghan women vote in accordance with their preferences. More realistically, the President's decision points to the continuing precarity of women in Afghanistan. Most of them illiterate, we must assume that a large percentage follows the political choices of their husbands. The photos depicting Afghan women ridding themselves of their burqas following the US-led invasion may not have been staged; yet they clearly do not represent the dire existence of most women who survived almost three decades of large-scale violence.
Of equal concern is the political dimension of this legislative revision. According to the BBC, Afghan "Justice Minister Sarwar Danesh said the changes had been made following complaints by human-rights groups." The truth is that is was the international 'community' that reacted with outrage to the content of the initial version. US President Obama expressed deep concerns; NATO threatened with serious consequences, and numerous European heads of state intervened personally to prevent the law's ratification and application.
This political pressure was surely justified on human rights-grounds. At the same time, it has added momentum to the widely held perception among Afghans that democracy is a system of government that opens the door for values and rules alien to what local traditions dictate. One might argue that in times of globalization, global norms and values must inform national laws and codes. Yet the Afghan President's initial support of the repressive law as well as the angry demonstrations of conservative Shi'ites following the international protest seem to indicate that friction is unavoidable. In this case, Afghanistan's dependence on international aid clearly overpowered local political deliberation. Put simply, the internationally induced revision of the law is a prime example of external social reengineering against the backdrop of a shallow democracy.
A new law governing family affairs for the Afghanistan's Sunni majority is also in the making. It will be instructive to observe whose political motives and social values will prevail this time: Afghan or foreign.

Becoming a Diplomat: A Choice Unbecoming of a Critical Mind?
I recently gave a keynote speech at a high school in the Bronx, NY for which I had been asked to offer some reflections on the career choice of becoming a diplomat. Note that becoming a diplomat was in fact one of my professional aspirations. Upon joining the UN however, I found the reality of bureaucratic routine rather sobering. I am sketching some of the systemic reasons below. Ultimately [years down the road, that is] these soundbites are supposed to feed into a book-length manuscript on organizational theory in international affairs, using the UN as a rich case study. Therefore, comments are not only welcome (as usual) but strongly encouraged.
One of the most striking inherent contradictions of the profession of diplomacy as I came to see it is that it tends to attract the brightest young people [I exclude myself here] who then volunteer to become muted and streamlined into ideologies and goals they rarely admired in the first place. International diplomacy in general and multilateral diplomacy in colorful conferences in particular tends to attract idealists, even though realists fare much better in the windowless world of meeting rooms, dispatches, and backroom deals.
At the same time, bureaucracies require specialization to manage complexity; this is in fact one of their defining features. Yet most international diplomats are decidedly generalist, and new recruits are screened accordingly. This mismatch lies at the core of what could be called a system of 'meritocratic mediocrity'. Diplomats are chosen for breadth, not depth, and therefore rarely understand local contexts well enough to justify their agenda-setting role in international politics.
Moreover, the context in which conventional diplomacy is taking place renders it highly anachronistic. Global diplomacy is firmly dependent on upward accountability (see also the 'Independent Diplomat' by Carne Ross). Reports, memos, case scenarios are sent 'up' for decision-making, not down, even though most stakeholders are located 'down here'. The core problem is thus the definition of stakeholder. When the UN holds its umpteenth global conference, genuinely poor people are flown in to represent 'the poor' everywhere. The Voices of the Poor are collected in massive primary research exercises. But decision-making power is rarely shared. Participation is, in reality, consultation at best. So how can diplomacy play a positive role for change if it merely listens on occasion?
In sum, becoming a diplomat today is probably best compared to being ordained as a priest: preaching values that are widely shared but regularly broken; defending positions that are strategically compelling but increasingly seldom in tune with ordinary lives; and bathing in public respect and recognition while coping with personal realities of seduction and sin. The key difference is that one profession serves the divine; the other serves the profane. Surely there are alternative ways, and professions, to do more good in this world.

'Let me tell you what to think': Discourse and the Limits of Democracy
The German pollster agency TNS Emnid recently broke the news that the majority (57%) of East German respondents among the total 1,208 Germans in all 16 federal states asked about their views of the bygone German Democratic Republic (GDR) agreed with the statement that the GDR 'had more positive than negative aspects' and that although 'there were some problems, one could live there rather well.'
8% of East Germans even agreed that 'the GDR had predominantly positive aspects' and that 'one lived a happier and better life there than in reunified Germany.' Thus almost two thirds of East Germans polled for this survey indicated mildly or strongly favorable views of what in official political language is commonly termed the 'Unrechtsstaat' (State of Injustice).
The reaction followed promptly. This "misty-eyed view" among East Germans of the GDR had to be countered with more effective public education and awareness campaigns, a member of the German federal cabinet argued, agreeing with a state-level minister who posited that the results demonstrated an "emotional anti-position to the present."
This outrage at yet another indicator of a strong 'Ostalgie' (nostalgia for the East) may not be surprising to those who have been following the persistent social and economic divisions between the 'new' and the 'old Laender'. Yet to me it came as a strange reminder of a series of assertions that another prominent regime change was, in fact, justified.
Think Iraq. Former Foreign Secretary Rice is notorious for defending the second US-led invasion. Former President Bush never moved an inch from this position either. His deputy even bothered to air his unrelenting view of the matter after the administration that he co-led had already imploded amid the weight of botched political decision-making.
Another telling example of a discourse designed to mute alternative views comes straight from the European Union. Here, a machinery of well-heeled bureaucrats in Brussels promotes a vision of an intertwined and de-facto united Europe – never mind persistent public skepticism against a European Constitution in important EU member states such as France or The Netherlands. Fearing similar public rejection, German politicians cowardly opted for a closed parliamentary process rather than a referendum.
Why is it that in democratic systems, which supposedly encourage public participation and rule of a consensual majority, politicians see a need to claim sovereignty over interpretive airspace? Why do we so easily replace the complexities of individual realities and experiences with a monochromatic message of good or bad?
I have three preliminary thoughts to offer on this observation. While not answers to the questions posed above, they help me recognize the relevance of such discursive discrepancies for international politics more broadly.
First, I believe that they are strongly indicative of a class conflict that many have thought to be a thing of the past. Be it the economically excluded in East Germany, the target(ed) population in Iraq or those with a strong sense of national self-defense amid the recent history of European warfare, they are pitted against the more affluent movers and shakers of the global political economy.
We are also witnessing a case of media schizophrenia which is central to the processes of opinion formation in modern societies. The potential to discover and report complex realities clashes with an increasing demand for–and, as a result, supply of–simple 'truths'. And finally, the development of such simple mechanisms as an inherent feature of our so-called 'modern' democracies does not bode well for the agenda of democracy promotion in areas of the world where, as we often choose to portray it, the public is excluded from policy-making. Far from it: the challenge posed by discursive hegemonies is as real right here as it may be 'over there'.

UN: The Tragic Triviality of Dilettantism
In the most recent issue of Foreign Policy, Jacob Heilbrunn writes that Ban Ki-moon is 'the Nowhere Man' since he is nowhere to be seen on the global stage. He even calls Mr. Ban the 'most dangerous Korean', thus elevating him above Kim Jong Il, the little-understood ruler of the northern part of the divided Korean peninsula.
Heilbrunn's frontal attack against the current UN General Secretary is not really surprising for someone who is a senior editor at the right-wing National Interest. His likening of Mr. Ban to a dictator is just plain tasteless. His text is beaming with factual inaccuracies and presumably deliberate distortions of facts.
Yet what left me truly troubled is that despite its acidity and baseness, Heilbrunn's op-ed is a truly refreshing read.
"Even in [the] unimpressive company [of the late former Nazi Kurt Waldheim, Boutros Boutros Ghali and most recently Kofi Annan who led the UN Peacekeeping branch when the Rwanda genocide took place]," Heilbrunn cauterizes,
Ban Ki-moon appears to have set the standard for failure. It's not that Ban has committed any particularly egregious mistakes in his 2½ years on the job. But at a time when global leadership is urgently needed, when climate change and international terrorism and the biggest financial crisis in 60 years might seem to require some—any!—response, the former South Korean foreign minister has instead been trotting the globe collecting honorary degrees, issuing utterly forgettable statements, and generally frittering away any influence he might command. He has become a kind of accidental tourist, a dilettante on the international stage.
What is so remarkable about this assessment is that it was to be expected when Mr. Ban was appointed. Heilbrunn mentions how former Secretary of State Rice championed his candidacy, but he conveniently omits the main reason – namely that the Administration of Bush junior considered Annan's succession a major opportunity to paralyze the UN. Looking at the role of the organization in the most recent global crisis, it seems that this plan is working rather well. Even The Economist agrees that Mr. Ban's performance at mid-point is wanting.
This sobering stocktaking exercise does of course beg the question whether or not a new Secretary General can turn the UN around. Heilbrunn seems to suggest that charismatic and passionate leaders wield the power to steer the blue bureaucracy down the right routes. Republicans have always been sympathetic with the idea of a strong leader, so this argument, too, should not surprise anyone. (That Heilbrunn has retained this faith in spite of recent political developments in the United States may be more astonishing.)
Skepticism is indeed warranted. The UN reform towards 'delivering as one' is stalling (it never got very far in the first place); the organization's recruitment practices remain muddled and its internal decision-making and priority setting highly obscure. The rise of less-than-democratic countries such as China and Russia to the round table of global economic politics is curtailing the UN's influence further.
So, will things improve significantly with a new bureaucrat at the helm of the global diplomatic apparatus? Probably not.
The good news is: it can hardly get worse.

Meow! Sorry for the Spongebob reference but I could hardly help it! Just like Gary, slugs and snails above the sea can get really angry and hungry! Quickly, your leaves and buds will be destroyed, though their movement is so slow! They also only come out during the night when it's cool enough for their mucous covered bodies to not just dry up like a raisin, so they are tricky to catch because you are typically asleep when they are out! Here are a few ways you can fight them back, though!
Encourage frogs, beetles and toads to visit your garden because they eat slugs. Build a toad abode by turning a ceramic put upside down and propping it up to create a small crack. Be sure there are no invasive toads in the area that will eat other toads and slow down the slug eating process, such at the Cuban treefrog often found in Florida. Create a backyard pond or marsh to keep them hanging out for life!
Use physical barriers like , lime, eggshells, diamataceous earth or sawdust. These will hinder the snails and slugs by slicing them open and killing them, or at least make it really hard for them to get to the plants.
They are attracted to orange rinds, milk and beer. Make a trap by mixing beer with flour in a shallow container no higher than 2cm from the ground. You can also use wine, sugar, juice or yeast mixed with water. The snails typically drown in the liquids since they are so slow to move out. Or you can buy slug controllers already made.
Grab them when you see them! This is pretty obvious, but make sure you are grabbing even ones that are not around your plant. Any time you see a slug or snail, chuck it as far away from you as possible! They move slow but they still move , so get them away.


Hello little brother, this is big brother.
Recently I had the opportunity to shoot my two nephews, Julian and Cameron. Cameron was just born last May and Julian is now three. It is such an amazing thing to watch their relationship grow. If Cameron isn't in eye sight, Julian will pick up his toy phone and call as if out to the universe, "Hello little brother, this is big brother". It is the sweetest thing.

Lessons from Russia relevant to U.S.-Iran deal
Michaela Dodge and David R. Shedd
Experience is a hard teacher, they say, because it gives the test first and the lesson afterward. So as we navigate the debate over the Iran deal, we should turn to an easier teacher: history. Specifically, to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia.
What lessons from Russia's violations of the INF Treaty can U.S. policymakers apply to the recent agreement with Iran? There are three.
1. Forget about "snap back."
The Obama administration has been touting the so-called "snap back" provisions of the Iran deal. In reality, the only thing that will snap back in the event of a violation will be Iranian protests when sanctions are reimposed. And when they do, they will have an ally in Russia and other nations dragging their feet and delaying the reapplication of sanctions in the wake of even flagrant violations.
Worse, reimposed sanctions do not apply retroactively. That means Iran will have weeks to wrap up million-dollar deals that will be implemented even in the unlikely event sanctions are restored.
2. Violations are difficult to prove.
Russia reportedly concluded activities that violated the INF Treaty as early as 2008. The United States took six years to collect enough evidence and data to be absolutely sure Russia had, in fact, violated the treaty. During this time, the administration kept everyone, including U.S. Congress, in the dark about its suspicions.
The INF Treaty is much more detailed than President Obama's Iran deal, offering Iran an opportunity to deny any allegations the United States or the United Nation's own watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, makes against it. Both countries have significant disagreements as to what the Iran deal actually means.
3. Verification built on trust does not work.
"This deal is not built on trust; it is built on verification," President Obama has assured Americans. But as we've learned more about the Iran deal, it's become clear that we trust while others verify, and their verification options are rather limited.
No American citizens can be on the inspection teams verifying Iran's nuclear program. Iran can request an exemption for its military and national security sites, a rather absurd provision of the Iran deal. Why would the Iranians demand this exemption if they were planning on conducting exclusively peaceful activities?
For example, in Parchin, the site of Iran's nuclear weapons activities, Iranians will be the ones collecting environmental samples. Here we have the proverbial fox guarding the chicken coop. Iran agreed to a far more intrusive verification regime under the Chemical Weapon Convention. There is no reason why the United States and the world community should give cheaters a pass on such an important issue as a nuclear weapons program.
Additionally, documents guiding verification activities are not available to members of Congress, nor did the secretaries of State or Energy see them. To add insult to injury, the administration's unclassified documents, such as the compliance assessment, are blocked from the public view, significantly hampering congressional and expert discussions on the matter.
Contrary to President Obama's statement, there is a lot more trust that Americans are putting into others with a long record of deception than we should accept.
The INF Treaty teaches us that sorting out compliance issues is extremely complicated, even when a treaty is much more detailed and explicit than the Iran deal, and when the understanding between its parties is much closer than that which we have between Iran and the United States.
The INF Treaty offers another important lesson. Walking away to get a better deal pays off. When the Reagan administration proposed in 1981 that the Soviets and the Americans get rid of all intermediate-range missiles, many thought it was a plot to kill the arms-control process. When the Soviets demanded U.S. missile defense and space activities be restricted, the Americans walked out.
But the Reagan administration was not opposed to arms control or a diplomatic solution to the intermediate-range missile issue; it just wanted a better deal and an ability to protect the American people from ballistic missiles.
President Reagan succeeded. Will President Obama learn the lessons from our own past?

CIA collecting in bulk data on international money transfers, say reports
PCWorld	 Nov 14, 2013 8:05 pm PST
The Central Intelligence Agency secretly collects data in bulk on international money transfers, under a program similar to the government's collection of phone records, according to reports.
The information collected includes financial and sometimes personal data, including Social Security numbers of Americans, as part of the agency's terrorism investigations, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Though the program does not collect data on solely domestic transactions, it is allowed to collect data on Americans for foreign intelligence purposes with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to the newspaper.
Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden disclosed through newspapers that the NSA collects telephony records in bulk of U.S. citizens, while also having access in real-time to content on servers of U.S. Internet companies through a program called Prism.
The Internet companies have denied their participation in the Prism program. The government has admitted that it collects phone metadata in bulk and said it needed the collection and storage of such bulk data for its analysis tools to be effective.
The collection of financial data by the CIA has been authorized by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in Washington, D.C., which also permits the NSA's collection of phone metadata, according to the reports.
Both authorizations are under Section 215 of the Patriot Act which allows the government to force companies to turn over business records for counterterrorism purposes. Companies ordered to turn over records to the spy agencies are usually under a "gag order" that prohibits their disclosing information on the orders.
The CIA could not be immediately reached for comment. "The CIA protects the nation and upholds the privacy rights of Americans by ensuring that its intelligence-collection activities are focused on acquiring foreign intelligence and counterintelligence in accordance with U.S. laws," it said to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
The data collected in bulk from money-transfer companies is placed in a dedicated database. In accordance with rules set by FISC, information about people in the U.S. is masked unless found to be of foreign-intelligence interest, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Sonos Sues Google for Allegedly Stealing Smart Speaker Technology
Sonos says that it warned Google multiple times starting in 2016 that it was infringing on its patents.
Sonos (SONO) - Get Report stepped up its battle with Google (GOOGL) - Get Report on Tuesday, filing a lawsuit alleging that Google infringed on five of its patents for wireless multi-room audio technology.
The lawsuit claims that Google gained knowledge of Sonos' patented technology as early as 2013 after Google integrated Sonos with its own Google Play Music platform via a partnership.
However, by 2015, Sonos claims Google was willfully infringing on Sonos' patents when it launched its Chromecast Audio product. After that, Google allegedly continued to infringe on Sonos intellectual property as it introduced Google Home, Google Home Mini, Google Home Max as well as its Pixel mobile phones, tablets and laptops.
Sonos says that it warned Google that it was infringing on its patents as early as 2016.
"The harm produced by Google's infringement has been profoundly compounded by Google's business strategy to use its multi-room audio products to vacuum up invaluable consumer data from users and thus further entrench the Google platform among its users and ultimately fuel its dominant advertising and search platforms," the lawsuit says.
In a statement, Google said it disputed Sonos' claims and plans to defend itself. "Over the years, we have had numerous ongoing conversations with Sonos about both companies' IP rights and we are disappointed that Sonos brought these lawsuits instead of continuing negotiations in good faith," said a Google spokesperson.
Sonos also filed a separate petition with the U.S. International Trade Commission to block the sale of the allegedly infringing products.
Sonos says that it invented what is currently known as wireless multi-room audio. According to Sonos, before its innovations were introduced to the market, multi-room audio systems were dependent on a centralized receiver hardwired into each individual speaker throughout a residence. Sonos technology, however, allowed for the decentralization that is present in the smart home speakers produced by today's tech giants.
Sonos shares were rising 0.3% to $15.69 Tuesday afternoon while Alphabet shares held on to a slight 0.2% increase to $1,396.65. Sonos shares are up 47% over the last 12 months.

The Definitive Guide to AWS Log Analytics Using ELK
Asaf Yigal
Cloud is driving the way modern software is being built and deployed. At the forefront of this revolution is AWS, holding a whopping 33% of the cloud services market in Q1 2019. Considering AWS had a seven-year head start before its main competitors, Microsoft and Google, this dominance is not surprising. AWS offers, by far, the widest array of fully evolved cloud services, helping engineers to develop, deploy and run applications at cloud scale.
Docker Monitoring with the ELK Stack: A Step-by-Step Guide
The Complete Cloud Operations Security Blueprint
The Complete Guide to the ELK Stack
Applications running on AWS depend on multiple services and components, all comprising what is a highly distributed and complex IT environment. To ensure these applications are up and running at all times, performant and secure, the engineering teams responsible for monitoring these applications rely on the machine data generated by various AWS building blocks they run and depend upon.
Needless to say, this introduces a myriad of challenges — multiple and distributed data sources, various data types and formats, large and ever-growing amounts of data — to name a few.
Enter centralized logging
To effectively monitor their AWS environment, users rely on a centralized logging approach. Centralized logging entails the use of a single platform for data aggregation, processing, storage, and analysis.
Aggregation – the collection of data from multiple sources and outputting them to a defined endpoint for processing, storage, and analysis.
Processing – the transformation or enhancement of messages into data that can be more easily used for analysis.
Storage – the storage of the data in a storage backend that can scale in a cost-efficient way.
Analysis – the ability to monitor and troubleshoot with the help of search and visualization capabilities.
ELK to the rescue
The ELK Stack — or the Elastic Stack as it's being called today — is the world's most popular open source log analytics platform. An acronym for Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana, the different components in the stack have been downloaded over 100M times and used by companies like Netflix, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
Elasticsearch is an open source, full-text search and analysis engine, based on the Apache Lucene search engine. Logstash is a log aggregator that collects data from various input sources, executes different transformations and enhancements and then ships the data to various supported output destinations. Kibana is a visualization layer that works on top of Elasticsearch, providing users with the ability to analyze and visualize the data. And last but not least — Beats are lightweight agents that are installed on edge hosts to collect different types of data for forwarding into the stack.
Together, these different components are used by AWS users for monitoring, troubleshooting and securing their cloud applications and the infrastructure they are deployed on. Often enough, the stack itself is deployed on AWS as well. Beats and Logstash take care of data collection and processing, Elasticsearch indexes and stores the data, and Kibana provides a user interface for querying the data and visualizing it.
Using ELK for analyzing AWS environments
How ELK is used to monitor an AWS environment will vary on how the application is designed and deployed.
For example, if your applications are running on EC2 instances, you might be using Filebeat for tracking and forwarding application logs into ELK. You might be using Mericbeat to track host metrics as well. Or, you might be deploying your applications on EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) and as such can use fluentd to ship Kubernetes logs into ELK. Your application might be completely serverless, meaning you might be shipping Lambda invocation data available in CloudWatch to ELK via Kinesis.
Each AWS service makes different data available via different mediums. Each of these data sources can be tapped into using various methods. Here are some of the most common methods:
S3 – most AWS services allow forwarding data to an S3 bucket. Logstash can then be used to pull the data from the S3 bucket in question.
CloudWatch – CloudWatch is another AWS service that stores a lot of operational data. It allows sending data to S3 (see above) or streaming the data to a Lambda function or AWS Elasticsearch.
Lambda – Lambda functions are being increasingly used as part of ELK pipelines. One usage example is using a Lambda to stream logs from CloudWatch into ELK via Kinesis.
ELK-native shippers – Logstash and beats can be used to ship logs from EC2 machines into Elasticsearch. Fluentd is another common log aggregator used.
Image: Example logging pipelines for monitoring AWS with the ELK Stack.
Application logs
Application logs are fundamental to any troubleshooting process. This has always been true — even for mainframe applications and those that are not cloud-based. With the pace at which instances are spawned and decommissioned, the only way to troubleshoot an issue is to first aggregate all of the application logs from all of the layers of an application. This enables you to follow transactions across all layers within an application's code.
There are dozens of ways to ship application logs. Again, what method you end up using greatly depends on the application itself and how it is deployed on AWS.
For example, Java applications running on Linux-based EC2 instances can use Logstash or Filebeat or ship it directly from the application layer using a log4j appender via HTTPs/HTTP. Containerized applications will use a logging container or a logging driver to collect the stdout and stderrr output of containers and ship it to ELK. Applications orchestrated with Kubernetes will most likely use a fluentd dameonset for collecting logs from each node in the cluster.
Infrastructure logs
Everything that is not the proprietary application code itself can be considered as infrastructure logs. These include system logs, database logs, web server logs, network device logs, security device logs, and countless others.
Infrastructure logs can shed light on problems in the code that is running or supporting your application. Performance issues can be caused by overutilized or broken databases or web servers, so it is crucial to analyze these log files especially when correlated with the application logs.
For example, when troubleshooting performance issues ourselves, we've seen many cases in which the root cause was a Linux kernel issue. Overlooking such low-level logs can make forensics processes long and fruitless.
Shipping infrastructure logs is usually done with open source agents such as rsyslog, Logstash and Filebeat that read the relevant operating system files such as access logs, kern.log, and database events. You can read here about more methods to ship logs here. The same goes for metrics, with Metricbeat being the ELK-native metric collector to use.
AWS Service logs
As mentioned above, many AWS services generate useful data that can be used for monitoring and troubleshooting. Below are some examples, including ELB, CloudTrail, VPC, CloudFront, S3, Lambda, Route53 and GuardDuty.
ELB Logs
Elastic Load Balancers (ELB) allows AWS users to distribute traffic across EC2 instances. ELB access logs are one of the options users have to monitor and troubleshoot this traffic.
ELB access logs are collections of information on all the traffic running through the load balancers. This data includes from where the ELB was accessed, which internal machines were accessed, the identity of the requester (such as the operating system and browser), and additional metrics such as processing time and traffic volume.
ELB logs can be used for a variety of use cases — monitoring access logs, checking the operational health of the ELBs, and measuring their efficient operation, to name a few. In the context of operational health, you might want to determine if your traffic is being equally distributed amongst all internal servers. For operational efficiency, you might want to identify the volumes of access that you are getting from different locations in the world.
AWS allows you to ship ELB logs into an S3 bucket, and from there you can ingest them using any platform you choose. Read more about how to do this here.
CloudTrail logs
CloudTrail records all the activity in your AWS environment, allowing you to monitor who is doing what, when, and where. Every API call to an AWS account is logged by CloudTrail in real time. The information recorded includes the identity of the user, the time of the call, the source, the request parameters, and the returned components.
CloudTrail logs are very useful for a number of use cases. One of the main uses revolves around auditing and security. For example, we monitor access and receive internal alerts on suspicious activity in our environment. Two important things to remember: Keep track of any changes being done to security groups and VPC access levels, and monitor your machines and services to ensure that they are being used properly by the proper people.
By default, CloudTrail logs are aggregated per region and then redirected to an S3 bucket (compressed JSON files). You can then use the recorded logs to analyze calls and take action accordingly. Of course, you can access these logs on S3 directly but even a small AWS environment will generate hundreds of compressed log files every day which makes analyzing this data a real challenge.
You can read more about analyzing CloudTrail logs with the ELK Stack here.
AWS VPC Flow Logs
VPC flow logs provide the ability to log all of the traffic that happens within an AWS VPC (Virtual Private Cloud). The information captured includes information about allowed and denied traffic (based on security group and network ACL rules). It also includes source and destination IP addresses, ports, IANA protocol numbers, packet and byte counts, time intervals during which flows were observed, and actions (ACCEPT or REJECT).
VPC flow logs can be turned on for a specific VPC, VPC subnet, or an Elastic Network Interface (ENI). Most common uses are around the operability of the VPC. You can visualize rejection rates to identify configuration issues or system misuses, correlate flow increases in traffic to load in other parts of systems, and verify that only specific sets of servers are being accessed and belong to the VPC. You can also make sure the right ports are being accessed from the right servers and receive alerts whenever certain ports are being accessed.
Once enabled, VPC flow logs are stored in CloudWatch logs, and you can extract them to a third-party log analytics service via several methods. The two most common methods are to direct them to a Kinesis stream and dump them to S3 using a Lambda function.
You can read more about analyzing VPC flow logs with the ELK Stack here.
CloudFront Logs
CloudFront is AWS's CDN, and CloundFront logs include information in W3C Extended Format and report all access to all objects by the CDN.
CloudFront logs are used mainly for analysis and verification of the operational efficiency of the CDN. You can see error rates through the CDN, from where is the CDN being accessed, and what percentage of traffic is being served by the CDN. These logs, though very verbose, can reveal a lot about the responsiveness of your website as customers navigate it.
Once enabled, CloudFront will write data to your S3 bucket every hour or so. You can then pull the CloudFront logs to ELK by pointing to the relevant S3 Bucket.
You can read more about analyzing CloudFront logs with the ELK Stack here.
S3 access logs
S3 access logs record events for every access of an S3 Bucket. Access data includes the identities of the entities accessing the bucket, the identities of buckets and their owners, and metrics on access time and turnaround time as well as the response codes that are returned.
Monitoring S3 access logs is a key part of securing AWS environments. You can determine from where and how buckets are being accessed and receive alerts on illegal access of your buckets. You can also leverage the information to receive performance metrics and analyses on such access to ensure that overall application response times are being properly monitored.
Once enabled, S3 access logs are written to an S3 bucket of your choice. Similar to the other AWS service logs described above, you can then pull the S3 access logs to the ELK Stack by pointing to the relevant S3 Bucket.
Lambda logs and metrics
Lambda is a serverless computing service provided by AWS that runs code in response to events and automatically manages the computing resources required by that code for the developer.
Lambda functions automatically export a series of metrics to CloudWatch and can be configured to log as well to the same destination. Together, this data can help in gaining insight into the individual invocations of the functions.
Shipping the data from the relevant CloudWatch log group into the ELK Stack can be done with either of the methods already explained here — either via S3 or another Lambda function.
Route 53 logs
Route 53 is Amazon's Domain Name System (DNS) service. Route 53 allows users to not only route traffic to application resources or AWS services, but also register domain names and perform health checks.
Route 53 allows users to log DNS queries routed by Route 53. Once enabled, this feature will forward Route 53 query logs to CloudWatch, where users can search, export or archive the data. This is useful for a number of use cases, primarily troubleshooting but also security and business intelligence.
Once in CloudWatch, Route 53 query logs can be exported to an AWS storage or streaming service such as S3 or Kinesis. Another option is to use a 3rd party platform, and this article will explore the option of exporting the logs into the ELK Stack.
You can read more about analyzing Route 53 logs with the ELK Stack here.
GuardDuty logs
AWS GuardDuty is a security service that monitors your AWS environment and identifies malicious or unauthorized activity. It does this by analyzing the data generated by various AWS data sources, such as VPC Flow Logs or CloudTrail events, and correlating it with thread feeds. The results of this analysis are security findings such as bitcoin mining or unauthorized instance deployments.
Your AWS account is only one component you have to watch in order to secure a modern IT environment and so GuardDuty is only one part of a more complicated security puzzle that we need to decipher. That's where security analytics solutions come into the picture, helping to connect the dots and provide a more holistic view.
GuardDuty ships data automatically into CloudWatch. To ship this data into the ELK Stack, you can use any of the same methods already outlined here — either via S3 and then Logstash, or using a Lambda function via Kinesis or directly into ELK. This article explains how to ship GuardDuty data into Logz.io's ELK Stack using the latter.
ELK is an extremely powerful platform and can provide tremendous value when you invest the effort to generate a holistic view of your environment. When running your applications on AWS, the majority of infrastructure and application logs can be shipped into the ELK Stack using ELK-native shippers such as Filebeat and Logstash whereas AWS service logs can be shipped into the ELK Stack using either S3 or a Lambda shipper.
Of course, collecting the data and shipping it into the ELK Stack is only one piece of the puzzle. Some logs are JSON formatted and require little if no extra processing, but some will require extra parsing with Logstash. You can even handle processing with Lambda. Either way, parsing is a crucial element in centralized logging and one that should not be overlooked.
In addition to parsing, logging AWS with the ELK Stack involves storing a large amount of data. This introduces a whole new set of challenges — scaling Elasticsearch, ensuring pipelines are resilient, providing high availability, and so forth. To understand what it takes to run an ELK Stack at scale, I recommend you take a look at our ELK guide.
Logz.io provides a fully managed ELK service, with full support for AWS monitoring, troubleshooting and security use cases. The service includes built-in integrations for AWS services, canned monitoring dashboards, alerting, and advanced analytics tools based on machine learning.

We deal with a lot of holiday complaints at ProMediate. Thomas Cook was in the news again recently: A military veteran with terminal cancer was forced to cancel his holiday because he had a chemotherapy appointment. Initially Thomas Cook refused to give him a refund. Craig Lyons, from Liverpool, who was a former service personnel had paid £1,385 for ten nights in Tenerife so that he and his girlfriend Joan could enjoy a final holiday together. It is unclear when he booked the holiday.
Initially, Thomas Cook would not issue a refund, offering him £85, but they have now apologised and offered a full refund. In fact, Thomas Cook were probably within their legal rights to decline to refund, but the bad publicity would have eclipsed that cost. Travellers are normally advised to take out travel insurance to cover unexpected illnesses. However, if a traveller has a pre-existing condition then it is unlikely that they would be covered for any losses or cancellation derived from that illness.

Carterville, IL: Luke Bogacki recently took delivery of a new Charlie Stewart Race Cars '63 Corvette bodied roadster. Upon completion, the machine will accompany the team's 2010 American Race Cars dragster along an aggressive schedule of NHRA Full Throttle and Lucas Oil Series events as Bogacki pursues the NHRA Lucas Oil Championship in both Super Comp and Super Gas.
Bogacki is best known for his on-track success away from the national tour; he's made his living competing in big dollar bracket events for nearly a decade. His only season-long pursuit of an NHRA title came in 2010, when he earned the NHRA Division 2 Championship in both Super Comp and Stock Eliminator and led the national Super Comp standings late in the season before being overtaken by Gary Stinnett. Bogacki finished the season ranked 2nd in Super Comp and 6th in Stock eliminator.
Bogacki's Super Comp and Super Gas machines will sport signage for major sponsor ThisIsBracketRacing.com, an instructional website for sportsman competitors designed and run by Bogacki himself. In addition, the team will feature associate marketing partnership from Tinsley Drilling and Company, C.A.R.S. Protection Plus, Advanced Product Design, JEGS, Bill Taylor Enterprises, and Mickey Thompson Tires.
Luke Bogacki Motorsports will depend on several manufacturers exclusively for products used within the racing team. Obviously American Race Cars and Charlie Stewart Race Cars are the team's chassis builders of choice as manufacturers of Bogacki's Super Comp Dragster and Super Gas Corvette Roadster, respectively. All team vehicles are powered by engines built by the professionals at Huntsville Engine & Performance in Huntsville, AL using BRODIX cylinder heads, engine blocks, and intake manifolds exclusively. Luke Bogacki Motorsports machines feature Moser Engineering axles, center sections, and the companies new line of brake kits. Both of the team's NHRA entries are outfitted with Auto Meter's "Stack" Multi-Function Data Logger and accessories. Lucas Oil is the exclusive lubricant of Luke Bogacki Motorsports.
The team looks to complete the new CSRC roadster by late-March and begin testing in hopes of making their NHRA debut at the Texas Motorplex LODRS event April 20-22 before continuing south to Houston Raceway Park for the NHRA O'Reilly Spring Nationals the following weekend. In total, the team will attend 9 NHRA Full Throttle Series National events and 8 Lucas Oil Division Series Events in pursuit of an NHRA Lucas Oil Championship in 2012.
"We've got a lot of work to do, but the ball is rolling in the right direction and I'm extremely excited about the season," said Bogacki.
In addition to the marketing partners listed above, Luke Bogacki Motorsports also depends on products and services from a host of quality manufacturers, including: K&N Engineering, Ohlins Shocks, Wiseco Pistons, Renegade Racing Fuels, Hedman Hedders, K&R Performance Engineering, B&M, Todd's Extreme Paint, J&J Engine Diapers, Frankenstein Cylinder Heads, Nitrous Express, DragRaceResults.com, Nitroplate, Milodon, ISC Racer's Tape, Paintchip Designs, Dedenbear, and Dixie Racing Products.

Man Kept Calling 911 To Report He Was Tired
Judge grants Indianan, 61, opportunity to rest up
"Tired" 911 Caller

SEPTEMBER 17--An Indiana man who repeatedly called 911 to inform police operators that he was "tired" will spend the next two months resting up in a county jail, according to court records.
Daniel Schroeder, 61, was arrested Tuesday night at his Evansville home in connection with a quartet of calls placed that evening to the police emergency line.
"The male caller kept calling in stating that he was tired," according to a police report.
Schroeder's calls about his weariness came a day after he pleaded guilty to a prior misuse of the 911 system. In the earlier case, he copped to calling police to report that he was upset that a female relative "was not following his rules."
A judge ordered Schroeder to serve six months in jail, but suspended imposition of the sentence "on the condition the deft does not call 911 unless it is an emergency."
Schroeder violated that agreement the following day, prompting prosecutors to file a motion seeking the revocation of his suspended sentence.
Schroeder pleaded guilty Wednesday to his most recent unlawful use of 911. He was sentenced to 60 days in the Vanderburgh County jail on the misdemeanor charge. His sentence in the original case was amended to 60 days behind bars (to run concurrently with the latter case).
Schroeder's rap sheet includes four convictions for driving while intoxicated, as well as convictions for narcotics possession and leaving the scene of an accident. (2 pages)

Q: CrossCompiling x86_64 -> ARMv6 with Clang-13 I want to learn more about cross-compiling. That's why I decided to start from scratch. I just wrote a tiny "Hello World" program that I'm going to try to cross-compile for my raspberrypi-zero-W:
main.cpp:
#include <cstdio>
int main()
{
  std::puts("Hello World");
}

Therefor that I wanted to start with llvm/clang/lld/libc++ (because clang promotes in the docs that it already is itself a cross-compiler), I checked out the sources of llvm: git clone --single-branch -b release/13.x https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git llvm/src and build and installed libcxx, libcxxabi and libunwind
cross compiling libc++ and libc++abi
cd ./llvm/src
mkdir build_libcxx_arm
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING=True -DLLVM_DEFAULT_TARGET_TRIPLE=arm-linux-gnueabihf -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../arm -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -B build_libcxx_arm -DLLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES="libcxx;libcxxabi;libunwind" -S runtimes
cmake --build ./build_libcxx_arm -- -j8
cmake --install ./build_libcxx_arm

Now I felt ready to give it a try to compile my "HelloWorld" with my new libs:
cross-compiling HelloWorld
cd ../..
clang++ -std=c++20 -stdlib=libc++ -O3 -v -fuse-ld=lld --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfloat-abi=hard --sysroot=./llvm/arm/ -o ./build_arm1176jzf-s/hello_clang src/main.cpp

I now expected clang to compile my main.cpp for my raspberry-pi-zero and to link it via ld.lld against my self-build libc++. But unfortunately I now get some linker errors:

Now I have two questions: Why do I need /lib/ld-inux-armhf.so.3 at link time? (I understand why I'd need this at runtime on the raspberry-pi, but why at link-time?)
And how can I force clang, not to use the gnu-toolchain installed in my system. It looks like it currently includes and links many things from the gnu-toolchain, which I definitely don't want at the moment.
As I said, I'm trying to learn how it works, that's why I started from scratch here. I (currently) don't want to get gcc/ld/libstdc++ involved. Everything what I tried so far is my plain understanding from what I've read in the documentation. But obviously I'm missing something. I hope someone out there is able to help me get this running.
Thanks in advance

Professional mermaid reveals what it's like to be a real-life Ariel
Bristol is home to four professional mermaids

A professional mermaid is on a mission to rid the ocean of destructive plastic waste.
Living in the landlocked suburb of Hengrove, Hannah Griffiths spends her day job working at Triodos Bank in Bristol.
In her spare time, however, she shimmies into her scales and tail and transforms into her magical mermaid alter-ego Hannah Pearl.
The 38-year-old, who became a part-time mermaid four years ago, said: "It's just magical and so fun.
"There is so much negative news and vibes in the world right now, being a mermaid and escaping to life underwater soothes the soul and creates some blissfulness in these unsettling times."
Her role as a professional mermaid involves appearances at parties, both on land and in pools, and using her platform to teach people about the ocean.
It's not just a case of pulling on a tail and splashing around - Hannah flew out to a special mermaid school in the Philippines to perfect her mermaid moves, which issued her with a 'licence' from the International Mermaid Swimming Instructors Association.
Then she completed a course through UK-based entertainment company Hire a Mermaid, where she learnt more swimming techniques and learnt how to free dive.

She is also a keen scuba diver and has explored tropical waters, including in the Great Barrier Reef, Jamaica and Mexico.
She said: "Mexico was amazing, I went 100 metres [deep] and went inside a shipwreck - it was like being the proper Little Mermaid."
It was only a few years ago that she discovered the mermaid school, but she has always been a keen swimmer and lover of the sea.
'Bristol is a mecca for mermaids'
She said: "I've been a mermaid since I was born.
"I grew up in Brunei [a nation on the island of Borneo] in a tropical climate, and learnt to swim at the age of three.
"I've always had an affinity with the ocean - I was a proper water baby when I was younger."
Despite its decidedly less tropical climate, Hannah said there is a "whole mer-community bubbling under the surface of the UK".
She said: "There's such a big free diving community in Bristol, and we've got four professional mermaids.
"There's me, Miss Mermaid Ireland who is also in Bristol, and two others who do tank shows.
"It's a mecca for mermaids!"
Hannah offers her mermaid services at parties both in pools and on dry land, and is particularly passionate about using her platform to teach children about marine conservation.
Jubilee Pool campaigners deliver 1,300-name petition claiming 'criminal negligence'
She said: "It brings it to life for them to raise awareness with kids that everything ends up in the ocean, and we all need to be doing out bit - there's no magic spell to get rid of it."
With coronavirus closing down pools this year, she instead channelled her aquatic adventures into a children's book called Ruby Rockpool & The Garbage Patch King.

Aimed at children aged between three and six years old, it features a marine warrior mermaid named Ruby Rockpool, on a mission to save the oceans and protect marine life.
Based at Teignmouth in Devon, it teaches children about plastic pollution and the importance of marine conservation.
For every £9.95 book sold on the online shop, £1 will be donated to the Marine Conservation Society and another £1 to Sea Shepherd UK.
Bristol-based Becki Rendell, of Creativsquid graphic art, illustrated the book with colourful imagery throughout.
When she is not diving or swimming, Hannah spends time along the coastline cleaning the beaches of plastic.
She used some of the beach rubbish she has collected to create an outfit last year, which she wore at the Miss Mermaid Scotland 2019 competition - and won.
A spokesperson for the Marine Conservation Society said her book is an "inspiring" read, which will help to encourage the next generation to look after the planet.
