Why We Think it is Fitting to Compare BIDs to Nazis
August 9, 2015 kohlhaas 1 Comment
An essential book for understanding what it felt like to be a Nazi before everyone hated the Nazis. Click on image for detailed information.
This blog has two essential purposes: first, to publish public records obtained from the three Hollywood area BIDs we cover and their collaborators and second, to needle employees and supporters of those BIDs. Neither educating nor convincing anyone of anything are huge priorities of ours, and even the public revelation of our two purposes cuts against the grain somewhat. However, it's recently come to our attention that some of our readers who, so to speak, come upon our work innocently, not involved with the BIDs but just having a general interest in the political life of Los Angeles, may consider our constant comparisons of BIDs with Nazis to be glib, puerile, shallow, offensive, trivializing, and/or so on. Some of the objections expressed have come to seem, after much consideration, to have merit and to deserve a serious response.
The Olympic Games were held in Berlin in 1936, three years after the Nazis came to power (and, coincidentally, four years after they were held in Los Angeles for the first time). Adolf Hitler, still seen by the world as a plausible member of the international community, led the opening ceremony.
To understand our position, it's essential to imagine what it felt like to inhabit the Third Reich as a non-Jew in the early 1930s, before Nazism was a universal symbol of pure and essential evil. Germany wasn't yet an international outcast, and non-Jewish Germans, for the most part, didn't feel like a nation of demons. In many ways they were not. Concentration camps, now considered primarily sites of genocide, were opened by the Nazis in March 1933 immediately after their accession to power. At first they were used for holding political prisoners and criminals and people were actually released from them on occasion. There's also no particular reason to think that the Nazi government had any concrete plans to exterminate Jews from the earth when they took power in 1933.

Between the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and the HPOA: 95 Years of Anti-Japanese, Anti-Black, Anti-Brown White Supremacism. "GET BUSY, JAPS, AND GET OUT OF HOLLYWOOD"
May 1, 2015 kohlhaas 2 Comments
A member of the Hollywood Protective Association and spiritual forebear of the modern BID Board member, with the backing of the 1920s edition of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, announces to the world that she's a moron. Note sign in window stating "Member Hollywood Protective Association."
Long-time readers of this blog will recall that, last month, we broke the story of Hollywood Chamber of Commerce biggity-wig Marty Shelton's bizarre distaste for black, brown, and poor people visiting Hollywood. Inspired by that, we recently wrote on the white supremacist roots of our beloved Hollywood sign and the inwrought caucasians-only policies of the real-estate development it once promoted. This line of inquiry got us interested in the jim crow history of Hollywood, which turns out to be quite rich.
For instance, a brief discussion in Scott Kurashige's interesting book The Shifting Grounds of Race: Black and Japanese Americans in the Making of Multiethnic Los Angeles1 led us to read up in old LA Times articles on anti-Japanese hysteria in Hollywood in the early 1920s. It seems that in April 1923, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce gave some advice to a bunch of angry white people. The article is here, but the short version is that some Japanese people bought eight lots in Hollywood, four near Bronson and Sunset and four on Tamarind and Gordon, and had the nerve to wish to build some apartment buildings and a church.
Jess E. Stephens, City Attorney of Los Angeles in April 1923 when pitchfork-waving torch-bearing howling Hollywood lynch mobs came whining to him about how Japanese people were being meanies and building a church in Hollywood. His response doesn't seem to be available in the historical record.
The white people got all in a tizzy, you can see one in the image above, and went to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce screaming for help. The Chamber, as opposed to the presence of non-white people in Hollywood as they are today, directed the howling mob to the City Attorney to seek a restraining order and they also started circulating petitions "urging the residents to agree to restrict the use of land to those of the Caucasian race."2 They were even inspired to poetry! See after the break for an especially creepy example.
By May of that year things had really gotten out of hand!

Sundown Towns, Japanese Internment, Opposition to "Right to Rest Act," All in a Satanic Century's Work for BID Buddies League of California Cities
April 8, 2015 kohlhaas Leave a comment
Japanese American citizens of Los Angeles boarding a train for the Manzanar Internment Camp at the behest of BID cronies the League of California Cities. The League, not to mention the BIDs, has been on Satan's side in every major political issue it's faced. Why would they be on God's side about the Right to Rest Act?
We've written before about the BIDs' and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce's sinister plot to turn Hollywood into a sundown town by discouraging black and brown people from coming here at night. We've also written about the Hollywood Entertainment District BID's soulless opposition to the saintly Senator Carol Liu's Right to Rest Act, which would prevent the BID Patrol from harassing and arresting homeless people for violating the vile LAMC 41.18(d), which makes it a misdemeanor to sit on the sidewalk for any purpose other than watching a parade. What we discovered recently from a fine article by Renee Lewis which appeared yesterday on Al Jazeera America is that the two issues are linked via the despicable League of California Cities.
Hotel in Los Angeles confiscated by white people after all the Japanese-Americans were shipped off to concentration camps in 1942. The second "most obvious advantage to be gained" by deporting all the Japanese-Americans in Los Angeles is that white people got to confiscate all their property. Racist economic warfare is never the explicit policy of the League and the BIDs, but is often their implicit policy
Lewis quotes various activists to the effect that "[t]he homeless are not the first marginalized group targeted by the League in its over 100-year history" and "[t]he League has supported sundown towns, Jim Crow laws, Chinese exclusion and Japanese internment." And it's true. E.g., look at the LA Times1 on February 16, 1942, where Richard Graves, executive secretary of the League is quoted as saying:
The most obvious advantage to be gained by enactment of such ordinances [including evacuation of Japanese-Americans] is protection of the civilian population…

Rhetoric, Logic, and Dialectic: Advancing Theory-based Argument Quality Assessment in Natural Language Processing
Anne Lauscher, Lily Ng, Courtney Napoles, Joel Tetreault
Though preceding work in computational argument quality (AQ) mostly focuses on assessing overall AQ, researchers agree that writers would benefit from feedback targeting individual dimensions of argumentation theory. However, a large-scale theory-based corpus and corresponding computational models are missing. We fill this gap by conducting an extensive analysis covering three diverse domains of online argumentative writing and presenting GAQCorpus: the first large-scale English multi-domain (community Q&A forums, debate forums, review forums) corpus annotated with theory-based AQ scores. We then propose the first computational approaches to theory-based assessment, which can serve as strong baselines for future work. We demonstrate the feasibility of large-scale AQ annotation, show that exploiting relations between dimensions yields performance improvements, and explore the synergies between theory-based prediction and practical AQ assessment.

'Underground Knowledge' group poll shows most believe Jonestown deaths were mass murder, not suicide
Posted: January 9, 2016 in Underground Knowledge
Tags: cia, conspiracy theories, Goodreads, jim jones, jonestown, Peoples Temple, underground knowledge
Do you believe the deaths at Jonestown were the result of suicides as per the official story or mass murder? That's the question we put to members of the Underground Knowledge discussion group in our latest (continuing) poll on Goodreads.com
Bodies at Jonestown…mass murder or suicide?
Jonestown, of course, is the name synonymous with the mass deaths of the infamous (mainly American) Peoples Temple cult members in the jungles of Guyana. Since that dreadful event, in November, 1978, there has been considerable speculation on whether the deaths were suicide, as per the official story, or mass murder.
If 'Undergrounders' (group members) are correct, most believe it was mass murder. One compelling argument proffered to support this view is that many of the dead were children – and, of course, children don't normally commit suicide, do they?
Interim poll results are:
–63% believe the deaths were mass murder.
–22% believe they were suicides.
–15% are unsure.
A random selection of poll respondents' comments follows:
Mass murder, because children don't "choose" suicide. Men with guns stood around until everyone had drunk the poisoned cool aide. Then they either drank it, or ran away. But those few men, who held the rifles were both murderers and the only few who actually committed suicide.
No way this is a conspiracy. Jones and his followers killed a US Congressman, panicked and drank Kool-Aid. End of story.
I would say…Mass Murder – MK Ultra Mind Control
How do we know that they were shot except for verbal statements?
The Guyanese army, whose soldiers were among the first on the scene, reported only 408 Temple members had died by their own hand. Then the New York Times reported the actual number was around 500. US Military personnel arrived several days later and the body count quickly rose – from 700 to a final tally of 909. No official explanation was ever given for these differing body counts although one US official was quoted as saying, "Guyanese cannot count."
…it's madness! So much death and many things that don't make sense. It's either religious fanatics/cult or a corrupt government to blame and we know which explanation we'd rather go with. I vote unsure on this.
This is a hard one to decide on there are so many sides to what the truth is and everyone has a different story to tell.
Neil Sanders does a pretty good job at listing all the anomalies in the official story, as well as all the CIA involvement in the cult before the deaths, in this video here: https://www.goodreads.com/videos/9605…

23 orphans trained to kill: one wants out
Posted: August 25, 2014 in The Orphan Factory
Tags: assassins, chicago, cia, conspiracy theories, conspiracy-thrillers, fbi, guyana, jonestown, mind control, mind controled assassins, MK-Ulta, orphans, thriller novels
The Orphan Factory (The Orphan Trilogy, #2) is an epic, atmospheric story that begins with 23 genetically superior orphans being groomed to become elite spies in Chicago's Pedemont Orphanage and concludes with a political assassination deep in the Amazon jungle. It's the prequel to The Ninth Orphan.
In the late 1970's, in Chicago, Illinois, the secretive Omega Agency initiates the Pedemont Project – a radical experiment utilizing genetic engineering technologies – to create twenty three orphan babies with the plan to turn them into the world's most effective assassins.
One of the prodigies will rebel: meet Number Nine, an orphan with a mind of his own.
In 1998, when Nine reaches adulthood and graduates with honors from the Pedemont Orphanage, he is already an adept of the deadly espionage arts. Ordered by his Omega masters to assassinate a survivor of the Jonestown tragedy in Guyana's Amazon rainforest, Nine is forced to draw upon all of his advanced training just to stay alive.
Here's what Amazon reviewers are saying about The Orphan Factory:
★★★★★ "Black ice and black ops perhaps have a lot in common. You don't see'em coming until you spin out." -WelcomeHomeSoldier Reviews
★★★★★ "The escapades of Nine as a new teenager, away from the structure of the orphanage, are interesting and completely believable." -C9C Reviews
★★★★★ "Buckle up for another wild ride in the Orphan Trilogy" -My Scribe World
★★★★★ "In Book 2 many questions are answered" -Lynelle Clark (author of 'A Pirate's Wife')
★★★★★ "Never a dull moment in this conspiracy suspense" -Review of Books For You
★★★★★ "Riveting right to the book's last page" -J.B. DiNizo (author of 'Comings and Goings')
★★★★ "Answers a lot of questions while also opening other doors for the final book in the trilogy" -The Kindle Book Review
★★★★★ "I especially enjoyed the quantum physics I encountered" -Greg Kuhn (author & quantum physicist)
★★★★★ "An extremely thought provoking premise" -Phoenix Book Review
★★★★★ "A wonderful story!" -A Bit Of Everything Reviews
★★★★★ "An eerily relevant lesson in our media-saturated world." -Gapers Block Book Club, Chicago, Illinois
★★★★ "Exciting story" -Zoltan Istvan (author of 'The Transhumanist Wager')

Historian's Afterword provides thought-provoking conclusion to controversial book
Posted: July 21, 2014 in The Orphan Conspiracies

Reader response to the Afterword in our book THE ORPHAN CONSPIRACIES: 29 Conspiracy Theories from The Orphan Trilogy has prompted us to run it here, in full, in the hope it will prompt further enlightened thought and debate.
Penned by American author and Professor of History at the University of Idaho, Dr. Richard (Rick) Spence, the Afterword provides a thought-provoking conclusion to our book.
Historian Dr. Richard Spence
Dr. Spence is well qualified to comment on conspiracy theories. At the University of Idaho, where he has taught since 1986, he specializes in Russian, intelligence and military history, and his course offerings include Modern Espionage, Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, History of Secret Societies and the Occult in History.
Here's Dr. Spence's Afterword (unabridged):
Someone, I honestly can't recall who, once told me an apocryphal anecdote which is a kind of epilogue to the biblical tale of the Garden of Eden and the Fall of Man. According to this, upon seeing Adam and Eve driven from paradise, the agent of their ruin, the Serpent, aka the Devil, was moved to pity. Or so he claimed. He asked God if he might bestow upon these pitiful creatures a gift which would make their mortal suffering and that of their descendants a little easier to bear. The Lord consented, and so the Serpent granted humankind the "blessing" of self-delusion: the inability to see themselves, the world or their state as they really were. The trick, of course, is that neither would they be able to see God or the Devil for what they really were either.
The Eden saga is also relevant because, if taken literally, it can be interpreted as the Ur-Conspiracy against the human race. Basically, Adam and Eve got the boot because they dared to acquire forbidden knowledge and, if not stopped, might have achieved the ultimate prize of eternal life. It was that which prompted God—or Gods since the divine conversation is always in terms of "we"—to nip things in the bud lest the upstart creations become "like us." It's enough to make one wonder just whose side the Serpent was on. Or could it be that the Serpent was just God in disguise? Maybe we've been in the dark from the beginning.
Mythology, heresy or whatever, I've often thought the "Devil's Gift" story explained the human condition pretty well. Whether the Serpent is to be blamed or thanked, the simple fact is that we do possess a tremendous capacity for deluding ourselves—and others. A prime example is the multitude of "conspiracy theories" James and Lance Morcan have presented in this book, theories that range, arguably, from the patently absurd to the disturbingly plausible. Notice that I'm not making a distinction as to which are which or who is deluding who. That's up to you.
For some years now I've offered a course at my university titled "Conspiracies and Secret Societies in History." Its basic goal, much like this book, is neither to advocate nor debunk, but to make people aware of what ideas and groups exist (or have existed) and what facts there may be to support or refute them. I've sometimes described it as a course in modern heresy or even in the nature of reality. A key theme is that human history, behavior and reality are governed not by what we know but by what we believe. Here's a simple example: we all have fathers and most of us know who our fathers are. Or we believe we do. Ultimately both we and our fathers are taking our mother's word for it, which doesn't exclude the possibility that even she is mistaken. Ah, you say, but what about DNA tests? That supposes such tests actually prove what they claim which is yet another thing you must take on faith. I'm going to guess that you've not had a DNA test, nor do you see any reason why you should. That's doubtless a sound belief, but nevertheless a belief that in a small number of cases is dead wrong. Paternity is almost always an assumption, not a fact. That's an unsettling thing to consider, so maybe it is best ignored. Just like so many bigger, unsettling possibilities mentioned in The Orphan Conspiracies.
The authors make frequent reference to the "Tinfoil Hat Network," which is a convenient name for those folks who believe in things that presumably more rational minds find, well, nutty. However intrinsically loony an idea may be, when people believe it, and act on that belief, it attains a power that can shape reality around it. A simple case in point is Nazi anti-Semitism. The fringe and utterly bogus notion that Jews represented a kind of biological contamination that had to be eradicated root and branch became the operative philosophy of a political regime and as a result millions of people died. Maybe the most dangerous thing about the "Illuminati" isn't that such a master cabal has ever existed, but that some people believe it should and wreak havoc under the delusion they run the world. Likewise, something discussed extensively in this book, Jim Jones and Jonestown, was, at the very least, a case of people believing so much in a crackpot messiah that they were willing to kill themselves, and often their children, on his command. And, remember, that's the least of the horror stories that can be built around the Jonestown massacre. The alternatives are even more disturbing.
So how can we determine what's real and what's not? We can't. We can just pick and choose what we want to believe and rationalize it as best we can. Reality, after all, is basically a movie projected inside our heads. It's based on the colors our senses permit us to see, the sounds they permit us to hear and whatever else our brains let slip through the gates. But outside our limited senses, surrounding us, there is, unquestionably, a much greater reality, a universe we live in but cannot see. Well, most of us, anyway. Out there, in the dark, All Things Are Possible.
An author in his own right, Dr. Spence's published works include Boris Savinkov: Renegade on the Left (East European Monographs/Columbia Univ. Press, 1991), Trust No One: The Secret World of Sidney Reilly (Feral House, 2002) and Secret Agent 666: Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult (Feral House, 2008).

Jonestown: suicides or mass murder?
Posted: April 8, 2014 in Uncategorized
Tags: cia, Congressman Ryan, fbi, Georgetown, guyana, jim jones, jonestown, Jonestown massacre, Jonestown suicides, mk ultra, Peoples Temple, Waco
The Trojan Horse Sterling had referred to reflected his belief that the truth about Jonestown had never been revealed to the American people. A belief shared by his fellow co-founders. They were certain that while there were undoubtedly suicides at Jonestown, the event could more accurately be described as a mass murder that resulted from an experiment of sorts carried out by various US agencies. –The Orphan Factory
Aerial view of Jonestown, Guyana.
The Peoples Temple Agricultural Project was a predominantly American residential community in Guyana, South America. Branded a cult by the media, it was more commonly known as Jonestown in deference to its leader, Jim Jones, a former communist and drug addict, and son of a Ku Klux Klansman.
Peoples Temple cult leader Jim Jones.
The community made world headlines on November 18, 1978, when it was announced 918 people at Jonestown, including 200 children, had died. All but two Peoples Temple members died from cyanide poisoning in what was labeled "revolutionary suicide" by Jim Jones himself.
Jonestown after the 'event'…ghastly and surreal.
Besides the suicides at Jonestown, several surviving Temple members murdered five others, includingCalifornia Congressman Leo Ryanat the nearby Port Kaituma airstrip.
Jonestown remained the largest loss of American civilian life in a single non-natural disaster until the deaths that occurred in the US on 9/11 in 2001.
Everything covered so far in this chapter is the official version of what occurred at Jonestown. However, there have long been rumors of MK-Ultra experimentation with the commune before the tragic incident occurred, and CIA involvement before and after the incident. Crucial sources, including Jonestown survivors as well as local officials first on the scene, appear to radically contradict the mass suicide story.
Cult members remonstrate with Jones (center) immediately before the 'suicides'. The photographer was Greg Robinson, of the Examiner, who was one of the media reps killed at Georgetown Airport.
If something other than the mass suicide the history books inform us happened in 1978 at Jonestown, then what did occur? A dark social experiment, wholesale murder, CIA assassinations, mind control implementation gone wrong, or what? These, and more, have been touted as fact by independent researchers over the years.
In The Orphan Factory, we explore these theories when Nine and another orphan-operative attempt an assassination, deep in Guyana's Amazon rainforest, of a survivor of the Jonestown tragedy.
What struck him most were the discrepancies in the body count, and Omega's research people had come up with some interesting theories on that. –The Orphan Factory
Jonestown discrepancies
Unusual anomalies within the US Government's official version of Jonestown raise alarm bells as they do seem to point to a conspiracy. In fact, there were so many conflicting reports that it was, and is, difficult to make head or tail of the event.
Senseless deaths surrounded by mystery…then and now.
The Guyanese army, whose soldiers were among the first on the scene, reported only 408 Temple members had died by their own hand. Then the New York Times reported the actual number was around 500.
US Military personnel arrived several days later and the body count quickly rose – from 700 to a final tally of 909. No official explanation was ever given for these differing body counts although one US official was quoted as saying, "Guyanese cannot count."
American Soldiers prepare bodies for shipment in coffins from Georgetown Airport, Guyana (above) while more bodies are unloaded in bodybags (below).
There were also conflicting reports on the causes of death. The New York Times had reported the first medical official to arrive on the scene said he'd witnessed numerous gunshot wounds on victims. That didn't tally with the official story that the majority had committed suicide by drinking cyanide. And no-one seemed to know exactly how many people were in Jonestown at the time. Therefore, reports listing 33 survivors couldn't be verified.
Local newspaper the Guyanese Daily Mirror reported that around 60 to 80 American Green Berets and several hundred members of the UK's SAS Black Watch were performing military exercise drills in the jungles surrounding Jonestown at the exact same time the mass suicides or the massacre – depending on your take – occurred.
Was that a coincidence or does it as some suggest point to a sinister outside party, or parties, being responsible for the deaths?
Another anomaly in the official version as told by the US Government was that the bodies lay neatly arranged in rows and showed no signs of the heavily twisted rigidity known to be induced in cyanide suicides.
In the coroner's court, Guyanese pathologist Dr. Leslie Mootoo stated the bodies looked like they'd been murdered and, in his opinion, were not suicides at all. Dr. Mootoo also said that while he did find gunshot wounds on a small percentage of the victims, he found needle marks on the vast majority.
Needle usage would directly contradict the cyanide story as the official story says the cyanide was taken orally.
The US Army, however, said the cause of death was irrefutably cyanide suicides. Interestingly, it was only after mounting pressure from family members of the deceased back in America that the Army finally agreed to perform some autopsies – seven out of 900 deaths to be precise. Those token autopsies were clearly too few to gain true insight into what caused the deaths.
Assassination of a congressman
Californian Congressman Leo Ryan had flown down to Guyana to investigate strange irregularities at Jonestown shortly before the incident.
Congressman Ryan.
In the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Vault the following description is listed under the code name RYMUR (The Leo Ryan Murder/Jonestown Investigation): "On November 18, 1978, while investigating human rights abuses by a large cult led by James Warren "Jim" Jones (1931-1978), Congressman Leo Ryan (1925-1978) and several companions were murdered by Jones' followers. Ryan had traveled to "Jonestown," the cult's compound in the South American country of Guyana, at the behest of his constituents, some of whom had family members in the cult. Following Ryan's murder, Jones ordered his followers to commit mass suicide; more than 900 bodies were later found, most having died by taking poison. The FBI, charged with investigating violence against public officials, opened a probe into the murder of Ryan (hence the case name RYMUR) and provided other support and investigative assistance in relation to the mass casualties."
The bodies of Congressman Ryan and companions after the murders.
It has been claimed by some Jonestown researchers that Leo Ryan, who had been a vocal critic of the CIA for years, had discovered the community was not being run by Jim Jones, but by the CIA; instead of allowing Ryan to return to the US to inform congress, the CIA killed Ryan then shut down the entire Jonestown program by instigating a massacre.
CIA fingerprints on the crime scene
Jonestown member George Blakey, who was a chief aid to Jim Jones, was later identified as a CIA agent. Blakey purchased the land on which Jonestown was built. That, together with his CIA involvement and the community's tragic end, could reasonably point to it being some kind of bizarre agency experiment.
What Blakey did immediately after the apparent Jonestown massacre lends weight to this theory. Within days, he reportedly moved to the nearby tax haven of Trinidad where he withdrew US$5 million from a Credit Suisse bank account.
In another CIA connection, US Embassy official Richard Dwyer was with Leo Ryan at the time of the airfield shootings and was later confirmed to have been a CIA agent. The first report of the "mass suicide" was made via radio a couple hours after the deaths occurred. Nobody has ever confirmed who made the radio reports, but perhaps tellingly, Richard Dwyer was the only person at Jonestown known to have a working radio.
Intriguingly, on the suicide tape recording of the last few minutes before the deaths occurred within the commune, Jim Jones can clearly be heard saying, "Get Dwyer out of here. Take him out of here now before something bad happens to him." This implies Jones and the CIA were in cahoots as the cult leader would not allow anyone else to leave the commune.
Many independent researchers also believe the suicide tape was heavily edited to disguise the unmistakable sound of gunshots. If true, this also points to murders, not suicides.
"Most of the deaths were undoubtedly the work of MK-Ultra brainwashed moles operating inside the Peoples Temple community." –The Orphan Factory
The MK-Ultra theory
There are numerous theories suggesting Jonestown was a CIA test site for brainwashing and mind control. It has been claimed that Leo Ryan visited Jonestown because he'd uncovered evidence that Jonestown was a large-scale MK-Ultra experiment.
In a potential red flag supporting this theory, the psychoactive drugs found in Jonestown included most of those used in the MK-Ultra program.
Peoples Temple members in happier times.
Many investigators have theorized that Larry Layton, a senior member of Jonestown, was also an undercover CIA agent. In what could be a telling connection, Layton's father was in charge of the US Army's Biological Weapons Research unit. Mere coincidence? Or was Jonestown a "research experiment" conducted by the military?
Larry Layton immediately after the killings at Georgetown Airport.
Another thread that could link Jonestown with an MK-Ultra experiment is that US citizens were taken from mental hospitals and children were taken from orphanages in America and placed in the commune. (You'll recall from the declassified CIA documents mentioned in chapter 2 that it's on the record mental patients and orphans were experimented on against their will under the MK-Ultra program).
Why such a massacre had occurred, the Omegans could only speculate. Some thought it may have been to stop a large-scale emigration out of America to a fabled Utopian society; others wondered if it was intended to create fear in the populace – fear of cults, fear of Communism, fear of anything foreign; and still others believed it was to create a precedence whereby any groups labelled a cult would be vilified without due diligence by the public.–The Orphan Factory
"A Waco beta test"
The 1993 Waco massacre of members of the Christian sect, the so-called Branch Davidians, in Texas, shares much in common with Jonestown: there were conflicting reports regarding cause of death, psychoactive drugs were found on the property and there was confusion surrounding cult leader David Koresh's intentions. In fact, Waco had a whole host of eerily similardiscrepancies, not to mention traces of CIA involvement and possibly mind control operations as well.
Waco Massacre…similarities with Jonestown.
As we wrote in The Orphan Factory; "MK-Ultra victims included the Branch Davidians at the Waco compound in Texas," and "Jonestown was a Waco beta test."
The US Government's own reports emphasize that Koresh had repeatedly insisted suicide was not an option for him or his fellow community members. As with Jonestown, the commonly held belief that the entire religious community at Waco wanted to die doesn't seem to hold true upon closer inspection.
"It suited the authorities that mainstream media reported the Jonestown tragedy as a mass suicide," Naylor continued. "The American public readily accepted that, shocking though it was. But make no mistake. It was primarily mass murder and the Peoples Temple was effectively turned into a slaughter house." –The Orphan Factory
In addition to what's been covered in this chapter, there have been several other prominent conspiracy theories concerning Jonestown, including one which plays on the communist connections with the cult and claims the Soviets were responsible.
Some have even theorized the Jonestown massacre was some kind of sick "racial cleansing" experiment. As most Jonestown victims were black, some have argued it was a eugenics purification test conducted by white racists to prepare for even greater ethnic casualties in years to come. (See chapter 15 for more on eugenics).
Another strange thing about Jonestown was Jim Jones' corpse. The Peoples Temple leader was known to have tattoos all over his chest. Yet the photos of his corpse found after his supposed suicide shows a chest free of tattoos. (See photo at right).
America's House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) concluded the massacre was entirely due to Jones' "extreme paranoia" and there was no outside interference from the CIA or otherwise. Strangely though, 5000 HFAC documents on Jonestown remain classified to this day.
If the old adage Where there's smoke there's fire is true then Jonestown must have been a cover-up of some kind. And it does seem unlikely anyone could convince more than 900 people to willfully commit suicide, especially when so many were young children.
Then again, our assumptions could all be wrong as brainwashing doesn't only belong in the domain of intelligence agencies. Fanatical, brainwashed cult members all over the world have committed mass suicides. (Remember the Heaven's Gate suicides?). And by all accounts Jim Jones was a megalomaniac. So it's possible he killed himself and his devotees followed suit as per the official story. And who's to say Jonestown members didn't believe their leader was guiding them all into heaven?
A book that's for the common people.
Not all is what it seems! –James & Lance

"Why else do you think we are permanently at war?" – A timely quote from 'The Orphan Factory'
Posted: September 4, 2013 in The Orphan Factory
As America – or President Obama at least – seems intent on attacking Syria, I'm reminded of a quote from The Orphan Factory, book two in our conspiracy thriller series, The Orphan Trilogy. In it, Omega Agency Special Agent Tommy Kentbridge asks a young Nine, the ninth-born orphan, "Why else do you think we are permanently at war in various regions all over the world?"
Perhaps the question would be better directed at Obama?
Obama soon to announce a new offensive?
Kentbridge, who is Nine's mentor and the closest thing to a father figure the lad will ever know, also asks, "And why is it the citizens of this country, one of the richest on earth, get poorer each year?"
Good questions – even if we, the writers, say so ourselves!
Here's some more from The Orphan Factory:
Special Agent Kentbridge had long-since realized America was not the unified country most people thought it was. Due to his position, he was aware of the extremely fragmented, corrupt and sick state of the nation. He also knew that sickness was entirely due to the conflicting agendas of the various shadow organizations that had infiltrated most Government departments and agencies. Within each power group – be it Congress or the Military-Industrial Complex – there were huge divisions as each of the secret factions strived to be top dog.

Chicago hides a terrible secret that's revealed in 'The Orphan Factory'
This week's review of our coming-of-age spy thriller The Orphan Factory (The Orphan Trilogy, #2) in Chicago web publication Gapers Block has thrown the spotlight on Chicago.
Chicago, the 'City of the big shoulders' as hometown poet-made-good Carl Sandburg once called it, is home to the twenty-three orphans who are raised in Chicago's Pedemont Orphanage. It's not just any orphanage. It's home to genetically-engineered orphans who are raised to become the deadliest intelligence operatives the world has ever seen. Their purpose? To help the clandestine Omega Agency achieve its dream of establishing a New World Order.
If reader response is anything to go by, Chicago-ites seem to resonate with The Orphan Factory. Not surprising given their hometown figures so prominently in this novel.
The novel's prologue sets the scene. Have a read and enjoy…
An old vagrant hummed tunelessly to himself as he warmed his bony hands over a fire he'd lit minutes earlier in a drum long since blackened by perhaps a hundred such fires. Certainly more fires than he, or any of his street cronies, could remember. He stopped humming when, across a busy thoroughfare, a gravel-voiced busker began reciting poetry.
"Stormy, husky, brawling," the busker rumbled. "City of the big shoulders." He was reciting verse from the works of hometown poet-made-good, Carl Sandburg. The poem was appropriately titled Chicago. "Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning." The busker, a long-haired Vietnam veteran whose only concession to his military past was his VSM service medal which he still wore with pride, looked directly at the old vagrant opposite.
The vagrant imagined the busker smiled at him, though he couldn't be sure in the fading early evening light. Even so, he flashed a toothless grin in the other's direction.
Soon, the old man was joined by half a dozen street pals. All homeless like him, they appeared like disheveled ghosts out of the shadows, attracted partly by the warmth of the fire and partly by the busker. They listened intently to the poet's words that flowed effortlessly from the busker's mouth. Words that painted images so vivid in their minds it was as if the men were watching a kaleidoscope of their own youth.
"Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth," the busker continued. "Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs."
Several passersby paused to listen, but none bothered to drop a donation into the hat that lay at the busker's feet. Finally, as the busker finished his recital, a business executive threw a quarter into the hat without breaking stride. Encouraged, the busker launched into another Sandberg poem.
Listening to the busker delivering further verses about his beloved Windy City, the old vagrant couldn't help but note the irony: there wasn't a breath of wind on this still Chicago evening.
The vagrant's parents had always assured him the city's misleading nickname had nothing to do with the weather. His mother had insisted the Windy City label came from the longwinded speeches given by the city's Nineteenth Century politicians, while his father claimed the moniker had been mischievously bestowed by competitive New Yorkers in their attempt to win the World Trade Fair of 1893.
To add to the contradictions, even though it was February, it was an unusually mild winter's evening. The vagrants gathered around the fire warming their hands did so more out of habit than necessity on this occasion.
Chicago's streets were busy and the mood downtown was fairly upbeat. President Jimmy Carter was due to visit the city and greater Illinois the following day. Word had spread: the President would be here soon, and come hell or high water he was going to receive a right, royal Illinois welcome.
As Chicagoans went about their business, hurrying home after a long day at the office or heading out to sample the city's nightlife, none were remotely aware of the sinister, Nazi-like experiment taking place virtually under their noses.
Despite the experiment's seventy five million dollar price tag, only a select few knew about it. Those in the know did not include the city's Mayor or any state politicians; at Federal level, not even the President knew about it.
The experiment was taking place in a laboratory in the concealed basement of a renovated warehouse just off North Michigan Avenue. Seven pregnant women were in various stages of labor in the lab that served as a makeshift maternity hospital.
Like some Orwellian nightmare, the women were giving birth in clockwork-like fashion, almost in unison.
Small teams comprised of doctors and white-coated geneticists assisted the women. A specialist induced latecomers. In the lab's far corner, two suited men looked on expectantly.
The numerous personnel in attendance were all in the employ of the Omega Agency, a recently formed and highly secretive outfit which would one day become the world's most powerful shadow organization.
Supervising the eerie experiment was Omega's own Doctor Frankenstein – better known as Doctor Pedemont, the brilliant biomedical scientist responsible for the radical science behind it. Over the past few years, with the help of his team of geneticists, Doctor Pedemont had painstakingly selected the fetus' genes from thousands of sperm donations combined with the genes of his female subjects. The donations had come from another medical experiment referred to as the Genius Sperm Bank.
The motivation behind the Genius Sperm Bank, which had been initiated over a decade earlier, was to advance the breeding of super-intelligent people. The bank was stocked full of semen donations solicited from many of the world's most intelligent men.
Benefiting from the efforts of some of Omega's elite operatives, Doctor Pedemont had unlawfully obtained hundreds of samples from the Genius Sperm Bank. Then, taking the best of the sperm donations, he'd artificially inseminated the very women who were now in the process of giving birth. This meant each child that was about to be born effectively had one mother and numerous fathers.
The legalities of the entire operation were of no concern to Omega. Although still in its formative stages, the agency was already above the law.
A tense Doctor Pedemont and three geneticists fussed over the first mother-to-be, a young redheaded woman, as she entered the final stages of labor. The two suits observing from afar waited anxiously as the geneticists used advanced scientific equipment to monitor the birth.
The redhead gave birth to female twins. They arrived six minutes apart. Doctor Pedemont picked up the first twin. After removing the umbilical cord, he placed the newborn baby on a set of scales. "Number Five," he announced. "Born 7.43 pm. Weight seven pounds, thirteen ounces."
One of the geneticists recorded the doctor's findings in a file labeled Number Five. Sadly, this would be the closest the girl would ever have to a real name.
Doctor Pedemont gave the baby to another geneticist then grabbed her newborn sister and weighed her. "Number Six. Born 7.49 pm. Weight seven pounds, one ounce."
The advent of twins was no accident, of course. Their arrival had been planned for, like everything else that occurred within the Omega Agency.
The next baby was born minutes later to an African-American woman. It was a boy who was clearly of African descent. However, he had a much lighter skin tone than his mother, indicating most or all of the sperm donations inseminated into the woman were taken from Caucasian men.
"Number Seven," Doctor Pedemont announced. "Born 7.56 pm. Weighs exactly five pounds. A few weeks prem, but is perfectly healthy."
Because Number Seven was a premature birth, one of the geneticists immediately placed him in an incubator. Number Eight, who was born quarter of an hour later, was a healthy girl of Oriental descent.
When Number Nine was born, the mother, a beautiful dark-haired woman with striking green eyes, reached out to Doctor Pedemont to indicate she wished to hold the boy she had just birthed. The doctor looked around enquiringly at the two mysterious suits who remained in the corner. After discussing it between themselves, the older of the two nodded.
Doctor Pedemont looked back at the newborn's mother cautiously. "You know you'll never see him again, Annette?"
Annette nodded forlornly. She fully understood the ramifications of her agreement with the Omega Agency. Doctor Pedemont reluctantly placed Number Nine in Annette's arms. The baby boy reached out and placed his tiny hand on the ruby that hung from a silver necklace she wore.
"Sebastian," Annette whispered tearfully as she looked into her son's eyes. "I name you Sebastian, after my father."
Anxious to avoid further bonding between mother and son, Doctor Pedemont took Number Nine from Annette and handed him to one of the geneticists who, without ceremony, jabbed a needle into the boy. Predictably, Nine started screaming. His mother looked on resignedly.
Later that night, two more boys and another girl were born. Like Number Nine, all three were Caucasian.
As Number Twelve, the last of the newborns, was weighed, the two suits approached a relieved Doctor Pedemont. They looked more relaxed now. The older of the two, a short, stocky, dapper individual with heavily pock-marked skin, reached for the doctor's hand and shook it firmly. This was Andrew Naylor, the Omega Agency's hard-nosed director who was known for his foul temper as well as for his lazy eye, which never quite managed to focus on whomever he was addressing at the time.
"Congratulations, doctor," Naylor mumbled without even a hint of a smile.
"Thank you," a beaming Doctor Pedemont responded, taking care to avoid eye contact with Naylor as he found the other's lazy eye highly disconcerting.
Naylor's companion, Special Agent Tommy Kentbridge, patted the doctor on the back in congratulatory fashion. "Well done," Kentbridge said. Tall and ruggedly handsome – physically the polar opposite of Naylor – the special agent was one of Omega's young stars. As a field operative, he had the sort of record most agents twice his age would be proud of. Although only in his early twenties, Kentbridge had been assigned to manage the products of this agency experiment. Like it or not, he would be the nearest to a father any of them would have.
It was a long-term experiment and no-one knew exactly what the outcome would be. The experiment was known in Omega circles as The Pedemont Project…

To photograph alone means I'm like a black stray cat on the streets. Can breeze through alleyways and highways and snapshot people without people noticing my dirty work. To be a shadow means to rob with diligence and that diligence is morally clearer today; as possible, I don't want to photograph people who are having the worst day of their life for the sake of art or whatever aesthetic one is pushing or devoted to. Whenever I'm alone wandering the streets is also a meditation, I've become more familiar with my subjects and I'm getting to know myself better.
That's why I'm not keen on adopting TPT or Tara Photowalk Tayo as a collective because I feel that it doesn't fit my personality, especially that I'm really a loner. Yes, it's easier to take portraits or shoot on ghettos when you're with a group but people will be aware of your intention 10 meters away and there won't be jazz moments to capture; people will look onto the lens or will throw a peace or a middle finger pose. I felt that TPT is a friendly group of hobbyists who are just taking fun portrait and street photography walks for the sake of camaraderie and not for the sake of introspection or for wanting to share their perspective of their world.
I really yearn for a badass Albay photography group. I long to be with storytellers who are sincere at their views of their world even if their perspective differs from mine. I always welcome discourses and I know I won't be swayed because of my faith. I'm open-minded so I know how to argue and how to attack. I want to learn from crazy, wild, and sincere people. I'm cozier being the student though there's a genuine to reach out to those who are in need.
But things do change and it's amazement. I've welcomed TPT in my career not just because it's the only one closest to my heart but because the group doesn't have a lot of rules that constrain you. They don't force meetings or there aren't any bylaws where you'll be reprimanded when not followed. The homey environment makes me feel responsible to share what I know to a younger generation of photographers, especially on our camera pasapasa group.
I've recently bought a TPT shirt because I've finally embraced the group and its importance in the Albay photography scene. Now, I'm cozier to invite everyone to take a walk with me whatever camera they have at the moment. But of course, I will still prefer to take long morning walks or beating the sunlight from setting with an exposed roll on each pocket.

Press Release: Taylor & Francis Group Awards Full-Service Production for Global Journal Content to Cenveo
Cenveo's Technological Innovation Aligns With Taylor & Francis' Journal Publishing Vision
Columbia, MD—April 5, 2018—Cenveo announces a major increase in full-service content production for Taylor & Francis' global journal production program. T&F selected Cenveo as a core content service provider to support T&F's continued growth.
As a world-leading academic and professional publisher, T&F cultivates knowledge through its commitment to quality. T&F identified in Cenveo a shared vision to develop production workflows designed to improve the velocity of research dissemination. This planned strategic initiative enhances customer experience for T&F's contributor base, particularly newer generations of researchers and scientists, without alienating its traditional market.
"The critical piece that convinced us Cenveo was the right partner was their technology stack supports our publishing model and provides real-world, expedited publication turnaround times using AI and natural language processing technology," explains Stewart Gardiner, Global Production Director of Journals at Taylor & Francis Group. "The organizational and operational innovations Cenveo proposed to support a rapid scale-up in production volumes were something we haven't seen from other providers and were clearly based on lessons learned in previous ramp-ups."
In February 2018, Cenveo announced a financial restructure and reorganization to strengthen its fiscal health. Mr. Gardiner remarks, "Given the company is currently reorganizing following a Chapter 11 process, our legal and financial people looked at Cenveo closely and came to the view that this is a relatively straightforward debt for equity restructure. Refinancing of this sort is not out of line with what one might expect for a company in Cenveo's market position, scale, and acquisition history."
Cenveo and T&F have shared a long work history prior to this fivefold increase in volume. The transition process has already begun and onboarding the additional T&F work is scheduled to take place in structured phases throughout the remainder of 2018.
"This major win is a result of considerable work and effort that we have put into the next generation of Smart Suite combined with a focus on operational excellence," explains Atul Goel, EVP Global Content Operations and President and COO of India Operations at Cenveo. "We are grateful for the trust placed in Cenveo by T&F and heartened that Cenveo's long-term vision of innovative publishing workflows aligns with a global leader in publishing."
Cenveo is consistently rated as one of the highest performing content service providers by its customers. Cenveo's ongoing commitment to publishers and extensive experience with volume ramp-up is further demonstrated by its significant investments in technology and staff.

Brexit Revealed The Ugly Face Of The Progressive Left
Lee Jenkins August 29, 2016 1
Is it safe to come out yet? Doubtful. Not since the mid-1980s has British politics been so divided and embittered. Debates, such as they are, descend into ad hominem attacks, friendships are ended, and opinions become entrenched to the point of dogma. The catalyst for this was Brexit, but the debate over Britain's membership of the European Union, destructive as it was, had at least one salutary effect – it tore the benign and smiling veil from the left to reveal a snarling and spiteful face.
For those involved or heavily interested in politics this is hardly news. As I've discussed previously, Tory voters get called scum, monsters and evil which such rapidity and frequency it's almost become background noise. But to the casual observer, and to those who only really have their political interest piqued during national elections, one could be forgiven for buying into the message that the board left were the nice ones, all warm and fuzzy and talking about equality and inclusiveness while the other lot are by the (sort of) admission of their own leader, the nasty party. (Because everybody of a centre right persuasion is a Tory apparently. CCHQ will be pleased.)
Brexit, however, and especially its immediate aftermath, unleashed the full and terrible wrath of the progressive left on a scale that couldn't be ignored. Anybody brave enough to venture onto Facebook and Twitter in late June would have borne witness to a vitriolic display of hatred that can only be summoned and wielded by those with complete confidence not just in the rightness of their argument, but also in the moral superiority of their cause.
To understand why, one needs to understand how Remain viewed the average Leave voter. The caricature was quickly formed and gleefully latched onto – Leave voters were poorer, less educated, less well travelled, had a narrower range of interests, a less sophisticated pallet, and lived outside the major metropolitan areas. It was snobbery, but the sort of acceptable prejudice that has always infested the progressive left. Bob Geldof encapsulated it beautifully, with the now-infamous photo of the sneering millionaire giving the v-sign to destitute fisherman becoming one of the lasting images of referendum.
The Leave voter was everything that the Remain voter quietly bristled against. Despite sovereignty consistently being the number one reason people voted Leave, to the Remain campaigner Leavers were assumed to be obsessed with immigration. This mattered for two reasons. Firstly, it demonstrated a fundamental misunderstanding of their opponents and the country as a whole. And secondly it gave Remain the excuse it needed to write off a huge swathe of voters as bigots and crypto-fascists. Why even bother trying to talk to these people, the argument went, they're not only wrong but bad, and who wants to talk to bad people?
The pattern was a repeat of 2010, the AV referendum, and 2015; the mostly younger progressive left ventured outside their comfort zones and started to engage with real people, didn't like what they saw and heard, so scurried back the cosseted coffee shops, Facebook groups and Twitter feeds to swap stories about how ghastly and irredeemably backward everybody outside London is.
All this was reinforced by the democratisation of the news and media. When you can tailor your news and entertainment intake so easily and so deftly it becomes terrifyingly easy to unconsciously filter out views all and opinions you find challenging. A generation of young left wingers have prescribed themselves a diet of Jon Stewart's Daily Show, The Last Leg, Huffington Post, The Guardian, Independent and countless smaller outlets which might on paper look like a wide range but is in reality very narrow and not representative of broader public opinion.
The Daily Show and, to a smaller extent, The Last Leg are particularly significant because of the pseudo-news manner in which they ridicule and dismiss much of what comes from Fox News in the US and the centre right here (often well deserved, to be fair). Concerns about immigration, ideas of national identity and patriotism, are sneered at, ridiculed, and dismissed as the domain of knuckle-dragging provincial hicks, not the sort of people whose opinion is even worth considering. This message, repeated daily across bespoke media platforms and among friends has created an ingrained culture of intellectual superiority. The intellectual left has written off the white (especially northern, working class as a lost cause and disassociated themselves from a country they never really liked to begin with.
When viewed like this it's easy to see why the referendum result came as such a shock to many on the left, just as the general election did last year. When the only articles you read, the only news you watch and the only people you interact with all share your views it's inevitable that you'll conclude that your views are those of the majority.
But rather than examine how they let themselves become so detached from the rest of society, too many on the left opted for the petulance of a toddler. Worse still, there are genuine calls for the referendum to be re-run or even flat out ignored. Again, the anti-democracy strain on the left is not new but seldom has it been so brazen. The masses, it seems, simply cannot be trusted with certain decisions. Far better to leave complex issues to people who've been to university and read the Atlantic, and let the onsie-clad Proles get back to X-Factor and Celebrity Big Brother.
Far from being anti-establishment as they came, the graduates and young professionals on the progressive left have far more in common with the political, governmental, and journalistic class than they do with the overwhelming majority of the voting public.
For what it's worth I voted Remain, but was horrified and frankly embarrassed at what I saw my from fellow Remainers in the days and weeks after the referendum. It's one of the great ironies of contemporary politics that those who claim to be inclusive, open and tolerant don't seem willing to extend these virtues to their neighbours.

I used an article from J.L. Dixon's column last week and thought it would be interesting to review Geal's life history for some of you who did not know him. Mr. Dixon was born in 1900 in Marshall, Missouri. His family moved to Lipscomb county in 1908. He quit school when he was sixteen to work on farms and ranches in the area. He had many occupations from road construction , service station , to burlap bag faculty. He operated the Higgins Bag Company until 1966.
Mr. Dixon was elected as county commissioner of Precinct no. 4 in 1958 and held the office for 10 years. He was an active commissioner when he died in August, 1968.
He began writing his column The Prairie Dog in 1964 keeping his identity secret. Keeping his readers quessing was a true delight and added fun to his earlier essays. Besides relating historical information about early Higgins , Mr. Dixon's viewpoint on early events and citizens provide us with an unique prespective. We will continue to relate some of his tidbits in this column from time to time. Our county is bested with many talented individuals and it is our privilege to share their stories with you.

By the way, what I'd really like to do is to get the output to save to a different directory. Any idea how to make that work?
Glad you could work it out!
Btw, I didn't find the possibility to get your pastebin based on a name. Normally, I receive an id, but not a name. How does that work?
OK, thanks, I think dobackupfull will only go to home directory and is not configurable.
Don't know about pastebin--that was the first time I have used it.

Care about and Contribute to Nongame Wildlife
January 18, 2017 greg wagner
We see them everywhere in Nebraska.
They are readily spotted in our yards, acreages, farms, ranches, parks, wildlife management areas and various other places.

We see a variety of them when we are hunting, fishing, trapping, hiking, biking, camping, picnicking and participating in other outdoor activities.

They are "nongame" wildlife species. They number in the thousands and are not hunted, trapped, fished, harvested or collected. They are birds, mammals, fish, mollusks and crayfish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and plants.

And, they need your help!
Oh sure, I know what you are thinking (or saying) if you're in the hunting, fur harvesting and angling public: "Hey, I already financially support wildlife with all of the required permits and stamps I have to purchase for my outdoor pursuits, so why should I contribute even more money to these critters. Why do they matter, anyway."
Truth is, the law prohibits revenue derived from the sale of hunting, fur harvesting and fishing permits to be spent on nongame species. That's why Nebraska's Wildlife Conservation Fund was created.
The fund allows individuals to make voluntary, tax-deductible contributions to help nongame wildlife through the Nebraska State Income Tax system. The opportunity for taxpayers to contribute to non-game wildlife first appeared on state tax forms in 1984.
This fund is especially appealing to those receiving refunds. Donated dollars have a major impact since Wildlife Conservation Fund monies are matched with other grants, so that a dollar donated becomes four dollars for aiding wildlife!
The Wildlife Conservation Fund makes many types of projects possible, including:
Improving habitat across Nebraska for our at-risk species while keeping common species common by funding projects such as prairie restorations and invasive species removal.
Developing a statewide pollinator conservation plan.
Preventing future endangered species listings by funding reintroduction projects such as the now thriving peregrine falcon, by funding research to ensure efficient conservation such as a river otter population and genetic study, a long-billed curlew habitat study, and by providing funding to monitor and protect endangered whooping cranes on their migrations through Nebraska.
Education Projects such as Project BEAK (Bird Education Awareness for Kids) that targets grade school children about ecological principles such as habitat, Nebraska's birds and adaptation.
Connecting Wildlife and Nebraskans through projects like wildcams for the peregrine falcon, kestrel and least tern.

For some, it can be particularly hard to understand why anyone would want to conserve obscure animals and plants. Surely there are some species we would be better off without, right? Do we really need each and every one of them? Species go extinct all the time, don't they?

It is important to understand that we are all interconnected, and when enough of these connections are broken it puts our own survival at risk.
As an example, consider the downward trend of native bees and certain other pollinating insects like butterflies, moths, beetles and ants. These animals provide pollination services essential to fruit, nut and seed production, and moreover, for nearly three-quarters of the staple crop plants that feed human kind and for more than 75 percent of all flowering plants in the world!
And, if you like to hunt, you need to know the upland game birds that you enjoy pursuing such as the ring-necked pheasant and northern bobwhite quail depend on the food resources provided by both pollinated plants and the adults and larvae of pollinating insects. Game birds also prefer to nest or seek shelter under plants that reproduce using the services offered by animal pollinators.

This concept of being interconnected or what is called "biodiversity" has been famously described with the airplane rivet analogy.
Suppose you are sitting in a plane flying through the air, and you look out the window and see rivets starting to fall out of the wing. Plane wings have massive redundancy, so you can likely lose a fair number of rivets before the wing falls off. Interestingly, engineers would have a hard time telling you exactly how many rivets you could lose before the wing falls off, but they could be certain that if rivets kept falling out at some point the wing would fall out and the plane would crash.
The situation is much the same for wildlife and the benefits we receive from nature: if you keep removing species from an ecosystem, at some point you will lose most, if not all of the natural benefits from that site, of which may prove to be critical. There's a lesson to be learned here: The various and diverse ecosystems, habitats, and plant and animal communities that make up our state are all interdependent upon one another.
Wildlife, its habitats and ecosystems additionally play an integral role in the lives of us Nebraskans. They add beauty and enjoyment to our lives. We benefit from them in aesthetic, recreational, social, educational, ecological, and economical ways. It only makes sense to do our part to ensure biodiversity conservation or the viability of all Nebraska's wildlife species, ecoregions and natural communities.
Please consider supporting the Wildlife Conservation Fund when completing your state income taxes this year or with a direct contribution through our Game and Parks website. On your tax form, look for the peregrine falcon symbol. Whether the amount you are able to give is large or small, it's an investment in the future of Nebraska's natural resources that will pay big dividends for future generations.
With your help, we'll continue our mission of being the principal advocate for and steward of our state's number one asset – your precious natural resources.

International Workers' Day or Labour Day is commemorated on 1 May to promote the rights of workers and to advocate for decent work worldwide. To mark the day in Kenya, SWHAP collaborated with the International Labour Organization, the Central Organization of Trade Unions Kenya (COTU-K), LVCT Health and Wema Kazini reaching 215 people with wellness and HIV testing during Labour Day celebrations at Uhuru Park in Nairobi. High testing uptake was achieved as a result of an awareness campaign that included a march from COTU-K headquarters to the park. Through the service provider, appropriate referrals were made for those testing positive for HIV or for those presenting with any other health issues. Additionally, demonstrations for both male and female condoms were conducted during sensitisation talks – in total 14 200 male condoms and 1 000 lubricants were distributed. Information was also shared on sexual networks and how they accelerate the spread of HIV.
Providing quick convenient access to HIV testing was an important initiative for SWHAP to support as HIV continues to be a major public health concern in Kenya with an estimated 1.6 million people living with the virus and a 5.9% prevalence rate amongst adults. HIV and AIDS are thus affecting many Kenyans in the most economically productive periods of their lives.
In Mozambique, the Steering Committee from Verde Azul Mozambique was on the streets of Maputo talking to the public about HIV transmission and prevention.
Activities were part of a march organised by trade unions, companies and other workers' organisations with over 600 employees from different organisations participating.

sorry i took a little break there.
and, most of all, i enjoyed finally getting our carpet in our newly finished basement! what a relief! we still have some work to do, but it's been so nice to be able to actually go down there and let the kiddos play and not get all dirty.
so, with that of course comes all the moving of boxes and things… so, that has taken up all my time.
but, i can't wait to share with you pictures of my new office/studio/craft room, or whatever they are calling it these days. my husband stained my concrete floors, and i'm in love with the color. oh, and did i tell you i ordered wallpaper too? i'm so excited to put it all together. i hope to share pictures soon. it will definitely be a work in progress as i have to keep myself from wanting to buy everything at once, but little by little i hope to make it a great place for inspiration! and, seriously… you'd laugh at all the random craft supplies i have. my closet is already full and i haven't even put all my stuff in there. maybe one day i'll show you a picture, but it may be embarrassing.
anyhow, sorry to ramble so much. it's been a dream of mine to have my very own room, so, i'm a bit excited.
so, back to what i was originally going to post about.
this tortellini with vegetable soup has been a favorite at our house for years. if you haven't noticed, i like soup.
in a large pot add broth, herbs + bring to a boil. add all vegetables and leave on medium to medium-high heat, covered until carrots are tender, about 20-30 minutes. add tortellini and cook for another 5-7 minutes. add parmesan cheese to the top of each serving.
oh, and have a great weekend! i'm taking off early and heading to so. cal this weekend for my cousins wedding! [hi thi-anh!] should be fun! we'll be partying it up on a yacht in newport beach! wish me luck as i'm taking my 7 month old norah with me. luckily, i'll have lots of help since my parents and sisters are coming! should be fun! mainly, it will be great to see family and eat vietnamese food!
how exciting to have your own room! I'm putting one together for myself too, it's been a few months in the making and I still have a couple boxes to sort through! excited to see what fun things you do with it! and i love soup too, especially in february.
I'm excited to see the unveil on your basement, and hoping to see your craft closet in there too. I need all the inspiration I can get. Love the idea of stained concrete floors. Brave and bold.
I'm from SoCal myself. Still visit family all the time, in Mission Viejo (15 min south of NB). Have you been to the Anti-Mall west of South Coast Plaza? It has an Urban Outfitters, a Buffalo Exchange, and some other great little shops. Then if you head south on the 5 a bit, there's the Irvine Spectrum where the 5 and 405 meet. It's a huge outdoor mall (a la Fashion Island) but with a vibe of its own. Then, not like you want to drive all this way with your little one, but there's a PB outlet by Lake Elsinore, which is over the mountains on scary Ortega Highway. Have fun! I always love heading down there!

Johnny Depp's "Kolchak, the Night Stalker" Will Be Made by…Disney?
Feb 23, 2012 | Forbes
Kolchak, the Night Stalker, the short-lived 1974-5 television show that has been credited as the inspiration for The X-Files, is about to get a third life (the one after its even shorter-lived second life as a 2005 TV series). Johnny Depp's production company, Infinitum Nihil, will be bringing the adventures of reporter Carl Kolchak to the big screen.
Depp has tapped Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) as the director, although currently there is no writer attached. But surprisingly, considering the subject matter—in one episode a stripper struts her stuff before geting offed—Disney will be producing.
Deadline writes, "The subject matter will be tailored to fit Disney's family film mandate and likely a PG-13 rating."
That might be a misstep. Those who saw Kolchak, either during the 70s or re-runs on cable, remember the show solved mysteries that included succubi, murderous Hindu spirits, and eek, eaters of bone marrow.
While Depp could do a bang-up job playing the whistling, porkpie-hat wearing, problem-solver, Kolchak without intense creepiness would be like a de-fanged vampire: not nearly as effective.
Check out a clip of the original show, here:

Q: Linux Kernel MOdule Is possible to use netfilter to hook all ethernet packets?
I can just get packet from ipv4 or ipv6.
EDit:
The above code is my kernel module. I want to get all packets that arrives to one ethernet interface re-direct to another interface.This module just print the name of the device where the packet arrived (just for testing). WIth this hook i just get packets witch type is ipv4, but i want to get all types.
I searched on web but i didn't find how to configure my hook to get all the packet's that bypass the ethernet interface.
Best Regards

static struct nf_hook_ops nfho;
int hook_func(struct sk_buff * skb)
{
  struct ethhdr *eth;
printk("Device: %s\n,skb->dev->name);
}
int init_module() {
  printk("Hook Module online!\n");
nfho.hook =(nf_hookfn *)hook_func;
nfho.hooknum = NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING;
  nfho.pf = PF_INET;
  nfho.priority =NF_IP_PRI_FIRST;
nf_register_hook(&nfho);
return 0; }
/* Cleanup routine */ void cleanup_module() {
printk("Over and Out!\n");
  nf_unregister_hook(&nfho); }

A: sure,
if I am getting it all right, you just willing to accept all Ether validated packets and pass them to another interface.
In the case, just include the kernel file:
#include <linux/if_ether.h>

you get the header by:
struct ethhdr *hdr = eth_hdr(skb);
// *skb is a ptr !!

and make sure that the ether is valid by checking some values
out of the ethhdr struct.
then just sent then by local host or modify the addresses if you want the other interface to accept it like it was his packets.

Validation of the method for hydrochlorothiazide assay in extemporaneous preparations
D. Alfred Ugbenbo, O. A. Zdoryk, N. Yu. Bevz, V. A. Georgiyants
Extemporaneous preparations that contain hydrochlorothiazide are widely prescribed and used in different countries for treating adults and children. The feature of the preparation of such dosage forms is the use of substances and commercial drugs as a source of the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
Aim. To validate the UV-spectroscopic assay method for determining hydrochlorothiazide in extemporaneous syrups and powders.
Results and discussion. For method proposed the conditions of analysis, sample preparation and validation characteristics were determined. The samples of syrups and the powder were dissolved in 0.01 M sodium hydroxide solution and assessed by spectrophotometry in the ultraviolet region of light at the wavelength of 273 nm. The samples comply with the Beer-Lambert Bouguer law within the concentration range of 8 × 10-3-1.2 × 10-2 mg/ml with the the correlation coefficients ≥ 0.9992. The uncertainty of the methods was within the critical value of the error (the powder – 1.14 %, the syrup – 0.72 %) for both samples of the syrup containing the pure substance and commercial tablets. The assay method of hydrochlorothiazide in the extemporaneous preparations meets the acceptance criteria for the assay limits of ± 7.5 % and ± 10 % by such validation parameters as specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy within the range of 80-120 % of the nominal content.
Experimental part. For research the volumetric glassware Class A, an UV-spectrophotometer (Thermoscientific Evolution 60S), analytical balances (AXIS ALN220), reagents and solvents corresponding to the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine were used.
Conclusions. The validation results have proven that the method can be reproduced correctly and is suitable for use in pharmaceutical analysis.
