About El Nido, the Philippine paradise with palm-tree forests and fine sandy beaches, I wrote extensively in some previous articles. I told you, with details, how you can get there, what is the right time to visit, what activities I recommend, and how the locals are, but now is time to reveal a top of the beaches of El Nido, beaches that I was very pleasantly impressed by. Around the archipelago, there are many islands and probably because of this reason, the number of beaches grows exponentially. So in this top, I included only those beaches that you can easily reach, being relatively close to El Nido.
El Nido Bay is the starting point for all the island hopping tours, even for the ferries that go daily to Coron. Here, the beach is generally very busy, being located just outside the city. There are many hotels and restaurants, and the atmosphere is very pleasant overall. The view will not disappoint you, as the lagoon is surrounded by the sharp limestone cliffs and the turquoise waters of the Philippines Sea. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photo of the beach, but I did take a few while I was inside the boat, prepared to venture out in an island hopping tour.
Merimegmeg Beach is located just a few kilometers from the city center and can be reached easily by a tricycle. A race costs about 100 Php ($ 2). Quite narrow but very long, the beach here is perfect for renting a lounge chair and getting a nice tan while admiring, in the distance, some of the islands where you can go with organized tours. Also, on Merimegmeg Beach, you can watch the sunset, you can have fun at a party with good music and nice lights, after dark, and you can enjoy a shake, a cocktail or a delicious lunch, at one of the pubs and restaurants with a water-oriented terrace. In the 5 days spent in El Nido, I could see that Merimegmeg is one of the favorite places for tourists and backpackers.
Corong Corong is the first beach where I went on when I arrived in El Nido and where I was also accommodated for 3 days. Although similar to Merimegmeg, the beach here is a bit more disordered and lower budget, but the panorama is a sensational one. There are many hotels and restaurants, but the atmosphere is a bit quieter. Another plus is the proximity to downtown El Nido.
The number 1 on my bucket list of El Nido was the hill on the top of which you can see the two twin beaches, somewhere in the north of the island. Unfortunately, in the meantime, the place has become inaccessible to the public, being privately owned and well-guarded, so you can no longer enjoy the splendid view unless you have a drone to fly around. However, the two beaches are definitely worth visiting, being kind of secluded and less touristy.
It is the only beach from the island hopping tour that I decided to include in this top mainly because of the fact that although is only accessible by water, 7 Commandos Beach is located on El Nido's continental part, behind the rocks near the city. The controversial name comes from an interesting legend, according to which 7 Japanese soldiers would have retired here after the end of the Second World War. The water here is very blue and rich in marine life, which recommends it for a snorkeling session.
Situated right next to the two twin beaches, about 40 minutes' walk from the downtown, Nacpan Beach is a beautiful, very long, and very wide beach with ideal waves for swimming, and surrounded by a dense palm tree forest. Although lately, it has become famous for its beauty, the beach continues to be less touristy because of its secludedness and the long distance from the city center.
In my opinion, Las Cabanas is the most beautiful beach in El Nido. Hammocks, fine sand, palm trees, wonderful views, the best spot to see the sunset and a very exotic atmosphere are the main reasons for choosing Las Cabanas anytime I will revisit El Nido. I recommend that you get here with the zip line, about which I have written more here. Do not take the round-trip, but rather just go for a one way and then descend on the island in front of the beach for a romantic stroll to Las Cabanas.
Have you been to El Nido before? What is your favorite beach?
I am a designated senior Advocate who is also a passionate fashion and travel photographer.Just returned from Krabi Thailand doing a photo series on the boats of Thailand. As a first-time visitor, I would like to explore Philippine for exciting photo story and video.Kindly advice as I am planning to go on 14th April for ten days and later on I may go again. Which flight I should take and the landing airport in the Philippines and then how to proceed to the location. Hotel I prefer to go and book at the place. Will be highly obliged as I enjoy lot reading your posts.
Wow, El Nido is certainly blessed with beautiful beaches! I would love to stop by Nacpan for the wide, uncrowded sands as well as arriving to Los Commandos by zipline.
Wow! The beaches are stunning and the rocks are so beautiful. All of your lovely photos have made me want to pack a suitcase and go now. Nacpan Beach, I think would be for me as it is less touristy.
So many beaches! Your pictures are fantastic. I was in Boracay in the 90s before it got crazy touristy. I think out of these, Merimegmeg Beach would be my fave.
All seven choices look just gorgeous but really appreciate the information about which ones are harder or easier to get to, which are more secluded or busy, which have higher end or budget accommodation nearby. Really helpful to shape choices for a trip to El Nido. Thank you.
The sunset in Las Cabanas seems to die for! I can totally understand why it is in the top of your list. I would totally love to zip line down to the beach. It sounds fascinating!
What a comprehensive list of Beaches in EL Nido. Would love to visit all of them some day and my favourite would be Merimegmeg Beach to witness sunset and then Corong Beach for its panoramic beauty. Nice photographs. Love the image of Corong beach. Nacpan looks so serene and peaceful. Thanks for compiling this list.
El Nido certainly looks stunning – so many beaches within striking distance! I think I like the look of Merimegmeg Beach best – very peaceful but great views too. I love the name of Seven Commandos beach – what a silly name! Las Cabanas might win though – anywhere you can get a sunset like that is a winner!
Missed visiting El Nido while in the Philippines and from the looks of your pictures, we missed a little paradise. All the beaches are stunning with such clear waters. The sunset shot at Las Cabanas is amazing. I look forward to visiting the Philippines again and this time going to El Nido!!
Good to know the best beaches in EL NIDO, Philippines. I just been only at Twin Beaches & apart Twin Beaches I wasn't know so this post is really help me to know best beaches.
good to know about such beautiful beaches of Philippines.This is very helpful post for planning my travel in future.
thanks for sharing such gem.


With his alluring facial features just within five centimeters from her, Jin Lan could even felt his breathing clearly. Raising her eyes, she could only see the pair of amber color pupils. Amber, was a mysterious color, the bright and dazzling golden color yet there was something veiled within. Just like Yu Yan, underneath his charming face held something dangerous within.
Yu Yan paused, then buried his face on her shoulder and laughed.
"It is because you are the one who had chosen me to be the Travelling Empress, your wife." Jin Lan replied.
Yu Yan's gaze became cold and the next moment, Jin Lan was pushed towards the stone wall by a strong force. The hard solid stone wall almost crushed her bones, however causing her pain currently was the hand on her throat.
Enduring the pain of suffocation, she glared at him.
There was no room for regrets in this world, that was why when Jin Lan climbed out of the well and met face to face with Xin Lin, how she could wish to fall in the well. Her current plight was like what Yu Yan had said, similar to an ant. Even Fei Sheng was able to crush her, let alone Xiu Lan. Obviously, she did not want to die and definitely not like an ant.
This was one of those updates where I must go back and read the previous few chapters to understand what's going on. Hopefully it will be comprehensible at that point.
Good luck and all the best in your exam. Fighting!!!
jin lan is still weak right now…still weak…get stronger!
Thanks for the update. Good luck if you are having exams. I am still confused. Is XL foe or friend?
YY I knew there was something up with you. I have a feeling that besides the girl in that brothel and her servants, everyone else is an enemy.
Thanks for the chapter! That is quite the ruthless male lead, if he really is the one. It's interesting how he does not seem to be in love with her, when he planned on making her his wife. I wonder when she'll get stronger? Unlike DKC's Su Luo, Jin Lan is not a space mage of any kind or has shown amazing cultivating skills yet. I wonder if she has any other cheat abilities except for having assassin skills and Bo Lin.
And just when I started to like YY he finally shows his true colours….
Okay, can someone explained to me what they just talk about? I'm lost because the translation wasnt clear. What did their conversation really mean before he pushed her against a wall, choked her and threatened her?
Don't get it. Princes deep plot is Mariana Trench bottom.. he just seems to have a lithium imbalance.. <_ < Does he know she is the Phoenix star. Has he noticed her Martial Arts are now unblocked? And why is no one speaking of what was originally described peerless appearance?


ONE of House Speaker Tom Foley's complaints about the Republican convention speeches last week concerns what he calls "falsehoods" creeping into campaign rhetoric.
These include the general Republican charges that the Democratic-controlled Congress hikes spending on the President.
"It's the biggest lie anybody tells when Republicans go around talking about a spendthrift Congress," said the Democratic representative from Washington State at a Monitor breakfast Aug. 25. He called it "an example of political prevarication at a very high level."
In fact, says Foley, Congress's total appropriations have come in $12 billion below the spending President Bush requested in his budget for next year.
Republican speakers painted another false picture, according to Foley, in describing how the Democratic leaders of Congress were hidden from view at the Democratic convention in New York. Republicans portrayed the Clinton campaign as seeking to distance its candidate from the Democrats in the ever-unpopular Congress.
"I was on the platform every night in the front row," says Foley, noting that he also addressed the convention during prime time. "It's total nonsense to say that we were hidden."
On matters of substance, he adds, Governor Clinton and the Democratic leadership are very close on nearly every issue except the line-item veto.
Like President Bush, Mr. Clinton would like the president to have the kind of veto over single budget items that many governors hold. Foley and most members of Congress oppose it.
But as journalists have widely noted, the Bush tax count on Clinton is inflated by counting some things twice and adding dubious entries. Using similar accounting standards, Bush's own tax hike record would add up to several dozen.
Foley says he believes Clinton will win in a close election.


Siobhan Fallon tells gripping, straight-up, no-nonsense stories about American soldiers and their families. It's clear from her tender yet tough-minded first book, "You Know When the Men Are Gone," that she knows this world very well. The reader need not look at Ms. Fallon's biography to guess that she, like her book's characters, has spent time living in Fort Hood, Tex., watching the effects of soldiers' leave-takings and homecomings on men and the wives they leave behind. Married to a man who is on at least his third tour of duty, Ms. Fallon now lives where he is stationed, in the Middle East.
Virtually all of the military personnel in this loosely linked eight-story collection are male, with one dangerous exception. "Inside the Break" begins as Bravo Company leaves for Iraq, and a gathering of tear-stained wives bids their buses farewell. "It was fine to look this horrible now that the men were too far away to see their faces, fine to finally grieve, messy and ugly," Ms. Fallon writes.
But the pain of separation becomes quite different when one of the wives looks at the last bus in the lineup, and sees that it holds "a threat that had never occurred to any of them when they thought of faraway insurgents and bombs and helicopters crashing." The threat: 15 women.
Here is a situation that could be played for suspense, soap opera or ambiguity. But Ms. Fallon pulls no punches. When one of the wives, Kailani Rodriguez, hacks into her husband's e-mail, she finds an uncomplicatedly treacherous message ("are u coming over tues?") slugged "So lonely" and sent from michelle.c.rand@us.army.mil. Ms. Fallon does not insult her readers by making Kailani, who was uprooted from Hawaii to follow her husband to Fort Hood and now has nothing but a potted hibiscus to remind her of her real home, waste time wondering what the message means.
In "You Know When the Men Are Gone," what matters most about any military family crisis is its order of magnitude. So yes, Kailani has to deal with a husband whose best response to being accused of infidelity is to claim feebly that there must be some mistake. ("Crazy, huh?") But she lives in a world where life feels tentative every single day, where women must brace for the fact that men come home lovingly, abashedly, unhinged or not at all. She must come to terms with that reality. The Army's boilerplate efforts to provide helpful guidelines for returning soldiers ("Take time to be charming!") are no help at all.
Most of the meltdowns that occur in "You Know When the Men Are Gone" are far more dire than sexual betrayal. "Leave" opens with the image of the suspicious Chief Warrant Officer Nick Cash breaking into his own Fort Hood basement in the middle of the night. Nick's specialty is interrogation, and he doesn't like what he's been hearing from his wife, Trish, when he calls home from a suburb of Baghdad. So he sneaks back to Texas on leave, moves stealthily into the basement and begins covert surveillance of his wife and daughter.
And Nick is haunted by the Grimm fairy tales that his daughter reads because his own life is full of latter-day versions of them. Why is the story of starving Hansel and Gretel any worse than that of a young Army corporal killed three days before he was due to see his wife and newborn baby?
"Such vicious twists dealt to the undeserving," Ms. Fallon writes. And a vicious twist is dealt in "Leave" once Nick actually finds his nightmares justified and he approaches his wife and her sleeping lover with his Gerber knife at the ready.
Other stories in this brief, tight collection — and there's not a loser in the bunch — include "The Last Stand," in which Specialist Kit Murphy comes home to every soldier's nightmare. He is married; he is wounded; his initially chirpy wife ("Helena is so happy you are coming home!") is going to abandon him. He realizes as much when she sleeps on her own side of their twin-bedded motel room on the night of his return.
So Kit goes out to a bar called the Last Stand, a First Cavalry Division favorite, and destroys what is left of his injured leg by getting onto a mechanical bull. Because Ms. Fallon can be blunt without being heavy-handed, she ends the story as Kit tries to stand up one final time as Helena — with a blithe "We'll talk soon. I promise" — walks out of his life.
Now equipped with a permanent limp and a prosthesis, Kit wants to thank Josie Schaeffer, the widow of a sergeant who has been mentioned several times earlier in the book.

Officers Cleared of Any Wrongdoing in Assault
By Staff Report | News
SARATOGA SPRINGS—Two Saratoga Springs police officers involved in an altercation while off duty were cleared of any wrongdoing in the incident. On June 3, William Arpei and another unidentified Saratoga Springs Police Department officer had been at a downtown Caroline Street bar. Arpei and Christopher Raible of Delanson had a brief discussion where Arpei's and the other officer's occupations were discussed. According to police, the conversation ended amicably and Raible walked away.
Approximately 15 minutes later, Raible walked back up to Arpei and said something about him being a police officer. He then proceeded to hit Arpei in the head. Arpei did not retaliate and did not suffer any serious injuries. Arpei and the unidentified officer contacted the police department about the assault and an on-duty supervisor was dispatched to the scene. Raible was charged with third degree attempted assault.
As with all incidents involving off-duty personnel an internal investigation was conducted. As a result of that investigation, both officers have been cleared of any wrongdoing in this matter. Neither Officer Arpei, nor the second off-duty officer, is suspected of any criminal wrongdoing and no criminal charges against the officers are anticipated.
Chief of Police Greg Veitch said the officers were cleared because they had not retaliated and were not the antagonists in the situation.
"While off-duty police officers have a right to socialize wherever they are legally permitted to do so without being subjected to antagonism and physical abuse, they also must realize that they are held to a higher standard than the general public," said Veitch. "Public perception of the police is critical to the success of the mission of the police department and police officers will be held to a high standard of conduct both on and off-duty. Every incident involving off-duty police officers will be investigated to ensure that Saratoga Springs police officers are behaving with integrity and in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations governing their behavior. In this case the officers acted with considerable restraint after an unprovoked assault. They were at the location for less than one hour, were not intoxicated, and took the appropriate actions by calling on duty personnel to deal with the incident. They did nothing wrong and have been cleared of any wrongdoing through both a criminal and internal investigation. "

One of my favorite things about Ralph Breaks the Internet are the way the people look in the film. Last month, I had the honor of talking with the character building team Cory Loftis (production designer), Dave Komorowski (head of characters and technical animation), Renato dos Anjos (head of animation) and Moe El-Ali (crowds supervisor) about the process of creating the inhabitants of the internet: "Netizens" and "Net Users.
They knew early on from looking at the artwork the team was working on which showed the way the environment would look – that they were looking at a 3-dimensional space which posed a few challenges for the team. Not only do they have to populate one street but also the other streets that you can see either up above or down below.
They started by placing the characters around the town and seeing what it meant. How many characters are they going to have to populate? They began by creating 150,000 characters on their first test – bigger than anything they have done in the past.
To put it into perspective, 'Bolt' had 57 characters, 'Wreck-it-Ralph' had 223 characters with 421 variations. What they mean by variations is when they take one character and change either their clothing or hairstyle. In the film "Zootopia' the number of characters was not as high because there are only so many different types of animals they can make and it featured 182 characters with 687 different variants. 'Zootopia' had more variants because for each animal they needed a mom, dad, and child. In 'Ralph Breaks the Internet' there are 434 characters and 6,752 variants! They wanted there to be a very diverse population in this film.
When it came to Ralph and Vanellope coming over from the first world there were some challenges with the technology that was used to create the characters for the first film – there was not a lot of flexibility with moving the characters bodies. They are the same characters from the first film, but they have added things like wrinkle detail in the clothing because they have better simulation technique, there is more hair on the head. With Vanellope in the first film, she had a fake ponytail. In the first film, the ponytail would move, but not the rest of her hair. Now, all of her hair moves together.
When it comes to the citizens, they created two different groups of citizens to populate the world. They created "Netizens" and "Net Users." The Net Users are us or what we would look like when running around the internet.
The Netizens are more of the "ghosts in the machine." If you send an email, one of these people is sending that email. If you put something in a shopping cart, the Netizens are pushing that shopping cart and checking you out. They are running all the actions you would do when clicking on a web page.
They not only had to create different hairstyles, and facial expressions for the characters but also all the different outfits. It was a very daunting process for the team, so they really worked hard to try and simplify the process.
You're going to love watching the Netizens, and New Users in the Internet in Ralph Breaks the Internet. Ralph Breaks the Internet will be in theaters on November 21st.


ILIGAN CITY — Emotions ran high among the Muslim Maranao evacuees as they assembled Thursday (July 27) morning at Mindanao State University in Iligan. They formally announced the formation of their survivors' group called Tindeg Ranao (Rise up Ranao) amid reports that authorities forbade them from joining such groups. In their first assembly, they emphasized their longing to be allowed to come back home to Marawi sooner than later and toward that, for the fighting to end there soon especially the aerial strikes.
"I just want to say to President Duterte, it's not the Mautes who are being bombed. Not all Muslims are terrorists. It is us who are getting abused," Asliah Ampuan, 25, said at the first assembly of Tindeg Ranao (Rise Up Ranao). Ampuan was overcome with emotions before she managed to say this before the gathering of fellow Marawi evacuees.
Over 400,000 residents of Marawi were forced to flee the country's lone Islamic City between May 22 to May 26 after an armed conflict erupted between the government troops and the extremists Maute group. The conflict was the immediate justification used by President Duterte to impose martial law over the entire Mindanao. It made it easier for the government soldiers to make warrantless arrests, enter and search private dwellings without warrants, impose ID requirements and above all deploy greater firepower including daily aerial assault in the area.
Evacuees in at least two large evacuation centers in Iligan told Bulatlat they left their houses and properties in a huff, many with just their clothes on. They left their money and food and clothes believing they'd be returning soon enough. They thought the fighting would take only two or three days, maximum of seven days, the usual to them.
Many said it was the military who told them to leave Marawi. Evacuees who live near where the black-clad armed and masked men first holed up opted to leave rather than be forced to accept arms and fight for the Maute leaders.
Some evacuees, like Noraisa Arumpac, 42, a graduate of midwifery and storekeeper in Marawi, said they were asked to leave by armed masked men in black. She didn't recall them introducing themselves. She just assumed they were with the Maute group or Isis. She said these armed men just told them to leave the area because soldiers were coming soon and there would be armed hostilities.
As they joined the throng of residents leaving Marawi, they heard from an armed man clad in black, aboard a truck with covered up conduction sticker and plate number, that by May 26 they all should have departed from Marawi.
Another family in a different evacuation center said they spotted 17 armed black-clad Maute Group taking positions on May 22. They live higher and from their vantage point, they could see the arrival of the black-clad men below them. But they did not immediately leave thinking any would-be fighting between Maute group and the soldiers would take just a few days. They left on May 26 when a bomb fell near their house and the children got scared.
That the fighting dragged on for over two months, and the government employed aerial strike damaging much of Marawi, have shaken many of the evacuees. They are rido-resistant (rido means clan war). But an evacuation this long, and daily aerial assault that leveled many of the low buildings and houses, these were unprecedented.
"This is not the change we expected when we voted for President Duterte," teary eyed Ampuan told the assembly of Tindeg Ranao.
"Sana ibasura na ang martial law. Ang solution ay pagbabago." (Let's hope martial law will be junked. The solution is to have change), she ended.
Her friend Siittierahma Adjiasim, 32, expressed gratitude to the mayor of Saguiran in Lanao del Sur "for wholeheartedly accepting" the evacuees. Over a thousand Maranao families are in separate evacuation sites in the city.
A day before, the relief convoy of the National Interfaith Humanitarian Mission (NIHM) 2 to Saguiran reported a repressive atmosphere there. Glenn Philip Aquino of Kalinaw Mindanao told Bulatlat they were waylaid for almost an hour by the soldiers at the checkpoint. Each delegate was told to register their name in a logbook. They were searched, their pictures were taken, before they were allowed to proceed. This, even if they were with personnel of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
Aida Ibrahim described their newly formed Tindeg Ranao as an organization of Marawi evacuees. Over the past month, the evacuees gathered together to share experiences and hope and make their voices heard, she said. They broke their two-month long 'silence' when they held a rally in Iligan last July 22, and when they gave a state of the nation address of the bakwits last July 24 at Iligan City Plaza.
It is not true that there are no human rights violations in Marawi as repeatedly claimed in the runup to President Duterte's request to extend Martial Law. According to Karapatan and Ranaw Rescue Team, there are many cases that should be investigated. What is hindering this, they said, is the military's control of Marawi.
"They would say there are no cases but they won't let us in to investigate. They say 'there are no documented cases, no cases, no cases.' We say 'let us in, let us in, let us in," said Samira Gutoc- Tomawis of Ranaw Rescue Team at the survivors' assembly. She condemned the arbitrariness of claims and decisions being taken by the military.
By now talks among the Marawi evacuees center on questions why the military is taking an inordinately long time to "clear" Marawi of its target Maute group.
The military has offered a changeable number of estimated 'enemies.' Tibo Baraamal, 31, a construction worker in Marawi, said that from his house, he and his wife saw the arrival of Maute Group. He said 17 passed by their house to take a position at a checkpoint on May 22. They saw how helicopters dropped bombs on some of the Maute's positions. He said the talk among the Maranao is that the Maute Group has at most only 200 fighters, including some who looked like foreigners. So, their question remains: why is it taking too long to "clear" Marawi?
Baraamal and many other Marawi evacuees couldn't say where the Maute's, if they were still alive, were getting reinforcements. They said the military has surrounded Marawi with checkpoints.
When members of NIHM 2 asked Bedjoria Soraya A. Adiong, ARMM provincial Governor, during NIHM 2's courtesy call on Friday, July 28, the governor's answer was also based on the military report. According to her administrator, Juraira Alonto, the government troops are battling snipers who have been frequently changing locations.
At the Tindeg Ranao assembly, Ibrahim repeatedly emphasized the evacuees' desire to go home soon not only because they feel the conflict should have been mopped up by now or even earlier. She cited the bigger number of forces and superior arms sent in by the government. She said another reason why they urgently wish to go back home soon is their worry over possible threats of dislocation via "rehabilitation" and other plans such as the expansion of plantations and promoting eco-tourism.
Bayan Muna's Satur Ocampo expressed hopes the NHIM2 can help the Marawi survivors to document what happened to them and seek accountability and justice. "In joining the second interfaith mission, I wished to help clarify the proper response of the people of Marawi," Ocampo said. The NIHM 2 observes the prevalent questions on the factual grounds for the declaration of martial law and the type of warfare introduced by the AFP, the artillery and aerial assault which are also being done in the entire area of Mindanao. Whatever rebuilding is in store, Ocampo said the survivors should have a big say in it.

Q: passing parameters to url in android I am developing an android application which involves parsing.I want to pass parameters to url in android. How should I proceed?

A: Please Try This.
HttpPost postMethod = new HttpPost("your url");
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();

nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("your parameter","parameter value"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("your parameter","parameter value"));

postMethod.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
DefaultHttpClient hc = new DefaultHttpClient();

HttpResponse response = hc.execute(postMethod);

nameValuePairs are used to add parameter in url .

                        if(CallBack != null)
                        {
                            CallBack.SetStatus(ClientCallBackHandler.HTTP_DID_ERROR);
                        }

                        return;
                    }
                } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    if(CallBack != null)

                    }

                    e.printStackTrace();
                    return;
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    if(CallBack != null)
                    {
                        CallBack.SetStatus(ClientCallBackHandler.IO_EXCEPTION);
                    }
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    return;
                }
            }

        }

    }).start();

}

the SerializeRequest() methode converts youre Request into a String youre service can understand ... for example mine is looking like this:
    public String SerializeRequest(Request request) {
    Gson gson = gsonb.create();
    String JScript = gson.toJson(request);
    Log.v(request.getClass().getName(),JScript);
    return JScript;
}

the DeserializeResponse() methode does pretty much the opposite of this, so in case of gson:
    public Response DeserializeResponse(String Jscript)
{
    Response response = null;

    try {

        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(Jscript);

        Gson gson = gsonb.create();
        response = gson.fromJson(jsonObject.toString(), Response.class);
               if(response.ClassName.compareTo("ExceptionResponse")==0)
            response = gson.fromJson(jsonObject.toString(), ExceptionResponse.class);
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        response = new ExceptionResponse();
        ((ExceptionResponse) response).Message = Jscript;
    }
    Log.v(response.getClass().getName(),Jscript);
    return response;
}

A: private void postData(final String param, final TextView tv) {

        RequestQueue rq = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);

        StringRequest postReq = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST,
                "https://your URL",
                new Response.Listener<String>() {

                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(String response) {
                        tv.setText(response); // We set the response data in the
                                                // TextView
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Response"+response,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }

De Novo: Who Is An Online Journalist?
Amusing as it as, I haven't had time to do more than quickly read the symposium entries on our topic this week because I have been busy working on a paper and presentation about the Internet's intersection with defamation law at 47 U.S.C. § 230. The statute provides some immunity to Internet "re-publishers." For now, however, I thought I'd move closer to the source: Internet authors and the First Amendment—specifically, the Press Clause, and "journalist" status.
The implications of this status include, in many states and some federal circuits, a qualified privilege against compelled testimony, as well as the protections granted to journalists under federal law and regualtions (as were discussed recently in regards to the Scalia-marshal debacle).
Either Leggett is not considered a reporter by Ashcroft because she works free-lance and has not published a story on the murder—as Leggett's attorney claims—or the Justice Department has changed its standard for jailing reporters. Either way, this is an unacceptable federal intrusion on a free press.
According to an article posted last week at USC's Online Journalism Review, Paul Trummel is "a pugnacious nursing home resident whose online rants landed him in jail." A Washington state judge jailed Trummel, like Leggett before him, for contempt—in this case, however, it was because he wouldn't stop talking. Trummel was, it appears, a kind of nursing-home watchdog. Among other things, he reported his findings on a Web site, which the judge ordered to have any identifying information of nursing-home employees removed. When Trummel kept the information up but simply switched to a server in the Netherlands, the judge had him jailed. The judge has since refocused his ruling as to Trummel's status as a "recalcitrant stalker," but the question remains for my purposes as to whether Trummel is a journalist.
"If someone calls and says they work for a Web site, and it covers a variety of issues, and has good distribution and there is a broad base of people interested in what they have to say, and they take an independent view of the issues, then yes, I would consider that journalism and I probably could provide assistance for you," she said.
"But if you have a Web site that is targeted at a specific group of people and the sole purpose of the Web site is retribution against those people, I don't think that is journalism. It doesn't mean you're not a journalist. It means that that particular product you're working on is not journalism. In other words, I look at what your purpose is."
Distribution? Interest? Daglish is wrong to base journalist status on what is, essentially, a success factor. What she is saying is that because it's so easy to become a reporter on the Web, we're only going to allow in some of the Web reporters—the ones with the most hits and in which people are the most interested.
Independent view? I don't see how this standard could be used—even in traditional media—for determining whether someone is a journalist. Does this mean the Internet journalist has to report something unique to be covered? If so, then only the first newspaper to get a story is worthy of journalist status—and that includes all those local papers reprinting AP and NYTimes' stories. Does it mean the news has to come from an independent source? If so, convergence has all but eliminated independent viewpoints from traditional media.
Finally, Daglish's "sole purpose of the Web site" comment shows her lack of understanding about the low "barriers to entry" on the Web. Let's say your town's water supply is being polluted by the major employer in the town (who, incidentally, is also the top ad revenue generator for the one newspaper in town). You are a chemical engineer who understands water pollution; you test the water and report the findings on a Web site, www.CompanyXPollutesOurWater.com. Under Daglish's "sole purpose" test, you're out of luck.
The Web does decrease barriers to becoming a journalist, and that's a good thing. A part-time or occasional journalist is as much a journalist for purposes of the First Amendment as Linda Greenhouse or Chuck Lane. If Daglish wishes to limit the scope of her organization (for financial or feasibility reasons), that's one thing. But for Daglish—as the representative of all reporters—to announce a restrictive standard for who should be given the status of "journalist" is unacceptable.
Why would Daglish, as a defender of the press, not want an expansive reading of who should fall under its press protections?
When the first amendment was written, and the provisions against abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, this country was a much different place. In fact, I would argue that the Internet has given back to the people the ability to publish like they once did. In the good ol' days, there was a "newspaper" for just about everything. Just take a moment (or two thousand) and read Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America - specifically the bits where he mentions the organizations of the newspapers and how they create a more informed electorate.
If I were making an argument about the persons that I consider journalists, I would point to the rich history of this country's press and not the monopolized, and hence limited, professional publishing firms.
aclu v reno nails it. if mcintrye and talley are journalists, so are livejournal.com users.
you can always find somebody who doesn't get it to use as a strawperson, but the court gets it.
i wish posner would. on the other hand, mcconnell allowed additional legislative protection to the big media. the reporters privilege under state common law could be limited to professional journalists if that's the history.

Muslim "Zionism": Do Muslims have a National Home, like Jews do?
June 12, 2006 / Editor / 13 Comments
By Maurice Picow
Many Palestinian Muslims talk about a 'law of return' to the lands they had to flee during the 'double Naqba' of 1948 and 1967. They feel that just as Jews have a Law of Return, they, the Palestinians should also have a homeland, much of which includes what is now modern Israel. And in respect to these feelings of 'Muslim Zionism' the city of Jerusalem is considered to be no less important to them than it is to the Jewish People.
Muslims have several reasons to be interested in Jerusalem. First of all, since they have control of the Temple Mount, known to them as Kareem al Shariff, they know that their possession of this place, considered sacred to Jews, will prevent the Jewish People from rebuilding the Temple. Their mosques, Al Aqsa and the Mosque of Omar (Dome of the Rock) are considered by Muslims to be the third holiest shrines in Islam (for Sunni Muslims anyway). The Dome of the Rock contains the large boulder on which the Patriarch Abraham was supposed to have almost sacrificed his son Isaac, until God intervened, and gave Abraham a ram to sacrifice instead.
Whether this is the real location is anybody's guess. The Mosque, Masjidal Haram, containing the Qaaba, the black, square building that devout Muslims circle during the annual Hajj, is located in the Arabian city of Mecca, a good 800 km to the south of Jerusalem. For Abraham to be in both locations at approximately the same time, is a bit far fetched, to say the least. Other revered sites in Mecca include the miraculous spring, Zamzam, that God revealed to Hagar, Ishmael's mother, after they were expelled by Abraham into the dessert.
The city is the desired location for the capital of a Palestinian state, at least the eastern or Arab part, that is. There's no denying that the city has religious significance for Muslims; but, since Muhammad later directed his followers to pray towards Mecca, and not Jerusalem, it means that Mecca became the more important place insofar as Islam goes. Muslims are also buried with their heads toward Mecca and feet towards Jerusalem, the direct opposite of Jews.
If the city were not so important to Jews, Muslims would probably not be so keen to possess it so much. As noted in numerous articles, Jerusalem, or Al Quds as the Muslims refer to it, became a holy 'city of convenience' for them. After all, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the city was an impoverished dirty 'backwater' of a place, and definitely not a glorious place to visit. Muslims throughout the centuries, including famous travelers like Ibn Batutta, made numerous pilgrimages to Mecca and Medina. Ibn Battuta went on the Hajj no less than seven times, the same number of times the faithful must circle the Qaaba.
Muslims have their own version of 'Zionism', which changes when they feel the need. The Palestinian's call for a law of return to places they once lived, in both Israel and Palestinian held areas, is designed for one main purpose: and that is the ultimate destruction of Israel – by sheer demographics if nothing else.

Thank you Maurice! This is interesting stuff! I've heard it taught that the Church of The Holy Sepulcher is where Abraham was going to sacrifice Isaac. One day, all will be revealed. It would make more sense for ZamZam to be their most revered, as it was here that God promised to make them a Great Nation of their own. The Temple will be rebuilt in the very near future. Every day is one day closer!

I believe that the Muslim holy sites in Mecca and Medina, including the Kaaba, and of course the spring called Zam Zam are very revered to them.
Due to this and the sensitivities involving the holy places in Jerusalem, building a 3rd Temple is not something that is a very good idea. Muslims should respect holy places of both Jews and Christians in Jerusalem. Unfortunatley, they appear to not do this, as events have shown.
Maybe when they learn to respect one anothers within their own nation, they'll respect ours too. One can only hope (and pray).
Isn't it odd that only Muslims can visit Mecca and Medina, whereas ALL the holy sites in Jerusalem, including those on the Temple Mount, are available to everyone.
So whose fair after all?
Not odd at all, it stems from a superiority complex. I stand in awe at how the Jewish people have preserved the Holy sites, and their willingness and even egarness to share them with the rest of the world. Thank You God, thank you Israel!

Excuse my english, but.
A new temple, nebbich.
What for ? The idea of a new temple is naches !
Judaism is based on thora, and in the thora there is writen
no need for á temple.
Even, there is no law of or right for return.
Where should this law been writen or fixed ?
If there is a law for return, I might argue,
I´m a son of a son of a son … of Adam,
and therefore I´ve got the right of return to paradise.
There is in basics only the right of respect other human beings,
an if Jerushalaim the holy city for three releigions,
why not,share it.
Religion, every, is invented to make life better
and humans happier,
not the other way round.
Ralf, you are right. Our own heart is best temple. Jerusalem is shared. It is the Islamic Holy sites that are not shared. True, they were to be a nation of their own, and their Holy sites may not hold the same meaning for others, but still…they are brothers.
Muslims certainly are 'brothers'. But we should all recall that God asked Cain: "where is Abel they brother (after Cain ,killed him). And also, that Ishmail was Isaac's half-brother.
Since then, tho, not much is happening concerning "brotherly love"!
Maybe because brothers are meant for adversity. But what purpose could that possibly serve?


The Mississippi commercial driver license manual contains material to help those interested in a commercial driving career pass the necessary exams, which are a knowledge exam and a skills exam. Applicants must demonstrate competency of skills and knowledge relative to the type of commercial vehicle they wish to drive. The knowledge test portion of the CDL exam consists of a general knowledge exam, which is primarily an inspection of the vehicle prior to travel. This includes ensuring the vehicle's brakes function properly, that gauges are working normally, inspecting steering mechanisms, suspension and a host of other considerations. The exam itself costs $38, while the cost of the license depends on what type of commercial vehicle one intends to operate.

Three More Coronavirus Cases In Placer County
Posted: Mar. 6, 2020 1:49 PM PST
Three more coronavirus cases are being reported in Placer County. And, once again, they're all linked to the Grand Princess cruise ship that travelled from San Francisco to Mexico, between February 11th and the 21st. The Public Health Department says two had mild symptoms that have already been resolved and the third currently also has mild symptoms. All three are isolated at home and none required hospitalization. The 71-year-old man from Placer County, who is the only person in the state to die so far, was also a passenger on that cruise ship. Quoted in a news release, Health Officer, Doctor Aimee Sisson, says she would not be surprised to see a second wave of cases connected to these passengers, given the amount of time that's passed since they disembarked. She says although the vast majority of cases worldwide are mild, they're concerned for more vulnerable members of the community who are more at risk of severe illness.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle 'Want To Earn Loads More Money' After Registering New Entertainment Businesses, Expert Claims
Jan. 24 2022, Published 1:11 p.m. ET
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sure have their hands full! Recently, the couple set up 11 new companies — Orinoco Publishing, Peca, Riversoul Productions Inc., Cloverdale and more — which "suggests they want to earn loads more money," expert Angela Levin claimed.
"This all seems to be a big turnaround from their philanthropic and non-profit work to just pure entertainment," she continued. "I'm surprised they're not dizzy. Every week they want to do something different. Last week it was politics, this week it's entertainment, the week before last it was making documentaries, before that it was a book. It's just chop-change."
It seems like the pair want to pursue more opportunities in the entertainment industry, which "might be difficult for the royal family" to accept.

"I think the royals have given up on them," she stated. "They do want them to come back for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, but I don't think Meghan or the children will. Harry is very unlikely to get the police protection he wants. He might come back alone, but I don't think he will really. I think there's a good chance he'll miss it."
Harry, 37, threatened to take legal action against the U.K. government, as he wants security when he lands back home.
"Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life," a statement began. "He remains sixth in line to the throne, served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, and in recent years his family has been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats. While his role within the Institution has changed, his profile as a member of the Royal Family has not. Nor has the threat to him and his family."
QUEEN MARGRETHE, PRINCESS MARY & PRINCE FREDERIK ATTEND NEW EXHIBITION — SEE PICS!
The statement continued, "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex personally fund a private security team for their family, yet that security cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed whilst in the U.K. In the absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home. The Duke first offered to pay personally for U.K. police protection for himself and his family in January of 2020 at Sandringham. That offer was dismissed. He remains willing to cover the cost of security, as not to impose on the British taxpayer. As is widely known, others who have left public office and have an inherent threat risk receive police protection at no cost to them."
It's unclear if Meghan and Harry will return to the U.K. for Prince Philip's memorial this spring, but for now, it seems like they are enjoying hanging out on the West Coast.
"Making this move is really scary, like at every possible opportunity the forces that were working against us tried to make it impossible. Did I expect to find ourselves in this situation so quickly? No. I think we've done a really good job," he revealed. "I have no regrets, it's incredibly sad, but I have no regrets at all because now I'm in a place where I feel like I should have been four years ago."

Perhaps even more than other American-Jewish rock stars such as Billy Joel and Bob Dylan, Lou Reed was fiercely proud of being Jewish — and included lyrics on behalf of Israel and against anti-Semitism in some of his songs.
I mention Reed's Jewishness because not a single obituary I have read of him in the mainstream press mentions it, when for Reed it was an important factor.
Reed, who died yesterday of liver failure at the age of 71, was born Lewis Allan Reed to a Jewish family in Brooklyn. He said that while "he had no god apart from rock 'n' roll" his Jewish roots and standing up for Israel meant a lot to him. He was a frequent visitor to the country, last performing in Tel Aviv in 2008, and his aunt and many cousins live in Haifa and other Israeli towns.
Reed even had an Israeli spider named after him to thank him for his support for the country.

Prevention of Collision At Sea – Look Out Below – And Above – and About!
It isn't quite Captain Ahab nailing the gold coin to the mast for the mate that first sights the White Whale – but it does get them thinking. About half the time, some young but worldly traveler points straight up and says, "Up there, 10 miles!" and wins. The point of the exercise is to get them to conceptualize that they are required to think about what is going on all around them – 360-degrees by 360-degrees. Rule 5 is all about that.
What does that all mean? Well, you may recall that, back on May 9th when we started the series on The Regulations to Avoid Collision At Sea (The COLREGs), I noted that everyone in front of an Admiralty Board or Court of Inquiry is guilty just based on the fact that there has been a collision (Rule 2 requires you to break all the Rules if needed to avoid a collision – so you failed in at least one regard!) The Board is there to apportion blame – even if the other skipper drove straight into you. It is never 100-0. Why?


Technology has always been an essential ingredient for the oil and gas industry.

Jeff Share has the first of this three-part series focused on pipeline construction.


"Will you accept my gift, Alannah?"
Eamon watched the slow journey of ice drift in the reflected calm of the lights from the city like a lullaby to the sea. A mirrored moon played among the low wave tops, finding and losing shape, as though taking uncertain measure of the icy water. The Hudson River flowed with a winter's caress around the rocks beneath his feet, pressing slush and broken ice together like a puzzle finding its own form.
His gaze strayed away to the north, where a steady progression of lights were strung like brilliant diamonds and flashing rubies, moving in a timeless cycle across the graceful spans of the George Washington Bridge. A truck rumbled a low murmur along the parkway behind him, a sound that faded and then merged among the muffled noises of other distant vehicles.
He returned his attention to the water. Something gleamed within its hidden depths, an iridescence he sensed rather than saw, yet was no less unknown to him. It shimmered like the moon held captive beneath the restless surface. He shrugged out of his jacket, leaving it draped over a rock whose smooth face was adorned with a whitened beard of frost.
A light snowfall had begun, delicate flakes swirling in the darkness, captured in the lights like fireflies chasing after one another. His black hair rippled in the low wind that circled around him. He pulled off his shirt and stepped out of his shoes and pants, unmindful of the cold. As the first snowflakes settled with a sigh like feathers across his bare skin, he plunged into the darkened water.
With long strokes, he swept beneath the unformed ice to seek what lay within the depths below. A silvery and wavering glimmer grew before him as he drew his body deeper, a luminescence that held the dark at bay. He kicked harder, sensing the gradients in temperature change around his body as he slipped between them. And when he slowed at last, he paused for a moment, transfixed by the form he saw before him, suspended within the ether.
Dark hair flowed like a fan around her pale face, delicate eyelashes drawn shut as if enraptured by a dream. Her face held an expression of peace that had been found after a night grown too long for hope of respite. Her arms and legs hung relaxed around her body, while the hood of her coat moved slowly back and forth in the unseen current, like an oyster protecting the beauty of its craft from discovery.
Eamon reached out to touch her coat. Grasping it firmly, he kicked upward, drawing her up with him.
When he broke the surface, he folded her body against his in an embrace, and lay back in the water to stare up at the night sky. Stars patterned the darkness above like a field of early snowdrops. Her head lolled on his chest, the cold of her cheek pressing against his bare skin. The strands of her hair were already gathering ice where they lay feathered across him. He hugged her close, while his legs drew a steady rhythm in the water, bringing them to shore once more.
He lifted her up in his arms while his feet found their hold among the ice-covered slickness of the rocks. He carried her forward, and then knelt to lay her across an unmarked patch of snow that fit the length of her body like a bier. Her arms and legs settled with low thumps. Her dark hair clung in random swirls against the whiteness of her face and the snow.
His fingers traced her cheek now, the barest of touches as though reluctant to awaken her, following the path of water whose arrested flow against her icy skin lay like tears frozen in mid-fall. He sighed and closed his eyes, and then leaned forward to brush his lips against her forehead. The whitened and cold skin reflected back the warmth of his breath like the unyielding surface of smooth marble. Yet beneath lay the soft ripple of a slow beat, a subtle movement as each stretched out into time.
He drew his face down until his lips found hers, where they were parted as though still releasing her last breath. He paused, and then he kissed her. A light seemed to form between them, bringing translucence to the joined seal of their lips, his a warm and steady glow of coral, hers a pale topaz.
Her body shuddered with a spasm that worked its way from deep inside. He drew his head back. A gurgling sound was accompanied by a rush of cold water from her mouth, a flood whose dank smell retained the hint of salty essence belonging to the sea. She continued to retch, her chest drawing and pushing as water flowed relentlessly out once more, washing away the snow around her face.
Her eyelashes fluttered with the hesitancy of a butterfly before taking flight. And when her eyes opened, they were like brilliant emeralds captured in the moonlight, finding their focus on his face as he stared down at her.
A final brackish rivulet of water dribbled down one cheek as her pinkening lips sought to form words, her eyes never straying away from him.
He regarded her as she shuddered, her hands clenched tightly into the snow, the beat of her heart driving sluggish blood through her veins.
Her head turned slowly to follow as he walked to where his clothes lay. She blinked as snowflakes settled onto her face, resisting an urge to brush them away, feeling them begin to melt as her skin regained some of its warmth. The cold press of stone lay undisguised by the thin pad of snow beneath her, as unyielding as the sky above. She turned her head again to where the river lapped calmly against the rocks, a refuge that would never ask of her any more than to lie within its embrace for as long as she wished.
She sensed Eamon's approach and kept her head turned away. She closed her eyes, listening to the water's lullaby as his arms slipped beneath her to lift her up.
Eamon's voice came to her from the kitchen area of the apartment. She gave a small shake of her head, and began removing her wet clothing. It fell with dank thumps that she barely heard. An inexplicable thirst was building dully inside her, but she acknowledged it little more than she did the light approach of his footsteps.
"I'm going to bed now." She rolled her wet underwear to the floor and left it lying there.
"Not what we believe it to be," he said softly.
She looked unhappily away. Thin tendrils of heat from the radiator across the room tickled over her bare skin, beckoning her. Her wet hair clung against the nape of her neck, still retaining the chill of the river and eliciting a series of shivers that never seemed to end.
"That would be impossible." He slipped his arms around her and drew her into a tender embrace.
She felt his warm breath caress her skin. His fingers worked with slow deliberation, separating the wet strands of her hair where they lay clumped against her back.
He gave a shake of his head, a small movement that was the only answer she would ever receive.
She sighed. She felt his arms slip away as she took a step backwards. She turned and walked to the bed, lifting the covers and crawling beneath with slow movements. As she lay shivering, she felt his warmth slide in behind her. His arms encircled her once more, and she snuggled back against him, seeking to dispel the lingering chill that seemed unwilling to abate.
"I hate you," she whispered. She tested the words on her tongue, tasting them, wondering whether they meant what she thought.
There was no reply at first, and she was uncertain whether he had heard. Then he spoke.

Plagued by scandal, has the United Nations outlived its usefulness?
by JOSHUA MURAVCHIK
Reforming the United Nations is a Sisyphean task. In the wake of the oil-for-food scandal and the blow-up in the U.N. Security Council over the invasion of Iraq, Kofi Annan appointed a High Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change with a mandate to recommend far-reaching adjustments. Much of its report was then incorporated into Mr. Annan's own proposals, In Larger Freedom, released in the run-up to the 2005 U.N. summit. That meeting was intended as a watershed of institutional reform. Although the U.S. administration and the U.N. Secretariat had been at logger heads over Iraq and other issues, the two were largely on the same page regarding U.N. reform.
The goal of U.N. reform was not new. Professor Edward Luck, the former head of the United Nations Association, spoke of the "déjà vu nature of U.N. reform," noting that "before the U.N. could hold its first meeting, a number of states were already calling for its reform." But although reform measures have been adopted over and again, they have made little difference. For example, in 1993, a General Assembly resolution on "Restructuring and Revitalization of the United Nations in the Economic, Social and Related Fields" invoked in its preamble no fewer than fifteen previous resolutions toward the same end. In 1994 the United States exerted what our ambassador to the U.N., Madeleine Albright, called an "enormous diplomatic effort" to secure the creation of something called the Office of Internal Oversight Services. Its mandate was to assure transparency and accountability. And yet the oil-for-food shenanigans began two years later. In other words, when that scandal unfolded, the U.N. had already been thoroughly reformed!
It [the U.N.] has proved helpless to perform the primary function for which it was created, namely to protect mankind from 'the scourge of war"
The litmus test of the latest round of U.N. reform was human rights. Rarely if ever has the U.N. been so self-critical as Secretary General and his High Level Panel in assessing the record of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights, which Mr. Annan said had performed so poorly as to cast "shadow" over the U.N. as a whole. For years the commission had refused to breathe a word of rebuke to most of the world's worst tyrants, while gently chastising a few offenders, usually of the second rank, and then saving most of its fire for Israel. So bad had this gotten that Annan proposed the radical measure of abolishing the commission entirely and replacing it with a Human Rights Council. This was to be designed in a different format in order to assure that it would turn out to be more faithful to its purposes than the commission had been.
Both Annan and the U.S. were disappointed in some of the provisions for structuring the new body, but both hoped for the best. Now, after its first year of operation, the Council's record has turned out to be even worse than that of its forerunner. How many states were criticized for their violations of human rights? Exactly one: Israel, of course. And it was criticized at every session. Meanwhile, not one of the world's tyrants or terrorists was called to account.
In short, the record shows that the U.N. will not improve with reform. And the problem is not only its performance on human rights or its management and bookkeeping. It has proved helpless to perform the primary function for which it was created, namely to protect mankind from "the scourge of war."
So what are we to do? Abolish the U.N.? We are powerless to do that. Few others would go along with such a proposal. To suggest such a move would bring down obloquy on the U.S., something we already have more than we need. The same would be true were we to withdraw from the U.N. or push its headquarters out of New York.
Rather a sound plan for managing the disappointing record of the U.N. would consist of two main parts. First, we should help to strengthen those few functions that the U.N. has shown it can do well. Second, we should nurture other international institutions that may better achieve some of the things that the U.N. does not do well.
Of the things the U.N. does well, one is post-conflict peacekeeping. This is a less demanding mission than wading into a civil war to suppress the fighting or stopping a war between states. Instead, it arises when the parties to a conflict are ready to settle their dispute, but each distrusts the other. A U.N. force that can patrol ceasefire lines, collect weapons, verify to each side that the other is keeping its commitments, launch relief efforts, and the like can be the critical factor that allows a settlement to take hold. The U.N. has done this in Cambodia, East Timor, Namibia, El Salvador, and a number of other places. This is a more modest role than the U.N. founders envisioned, but it is important.
Another area of strength is the work of some of the U.N.'s specialized agencies, for example the World Health Organization. Assistance to the very poor, to refugees, to women and children demands our concern and our generosity, and often U.N. agencies are the best vehicles for this.
For more political functions, that ones at which the U.N. is generally a failure, the alternative is not to go it alone. Rather it is to seek smaller and sometimes less formal international mechanisms.
The main purpose of the U.N. was to prevent a third world war which the founders feared might follow the second just as the second has followed the first, and they imagined its cockpit would be Europe. The Cold War, however, paralyzed the U.N. from the start. What did prevent a third world war from breaking out in Europe was a different organization, NATO. It came into being accidentally, having been conceived simply as a treaty. The strengthening, enlargement and adaptation of NATO holds much promise for he future; and so may other regional organizations. In addition, the embryonic Community of Democracies might be developed into a more purposeful alliance that might play an effective role in the advancement of global human rights.
Finally, ad hoc coalitions of small numbers of states are ordinarily more effective at crisis management than an organization of 193 members. In practice, we look to the Quartet to work on the Israel-Palestinian problem; the Five Plus One to deal with the Iranian nuclear issue; and the Pacific Six to negotiate the North Korean nuclear issue. In the 1980s the Contadora Group took the lead on the Central American crisis and in the 1990s, it was the Contact Group that wrestled with the Yugoslavia crisis.
Experience teaches that the formal structures of the UN are often a straitjacket while informal groups of states with common concerns, interests or values often can work more effectively.
The true alternative to relying heavily on the UN for political functions is not unilateralism. Rather, it is more flexible forms of international cooperation.

"He Is A Liar" Jim Jordan Another Fox In The Chicken Coop Protecting Criminal Politicians (Video)

"He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD." -Probers 17:15
First, there was Daryl Issa, then Trey Gowdy, and then along came Jason Chafetz, who all did nothing but entertain and deceive the American people into believing that they were actually doing something while sitting on the House Oversight Committee (Psalm 12:8).
These all talked the talked but in the end, delivered nothing but appeasement for the people that actually believed that they were somehow legitimate (Amos 5:7).
The American Appeasers: Gowdy, Issa and Chaffetz – The Show Goes On

Ted Cruz even jumped onboard for a minute, but like the others, delivered nothing but talk (James 2:14-26).
As The Show Goes On …Ted Cruz Jumps on Board to Add to The List of American Appeasers "Grilling" Big Tech Companies – What a Joke!
Now, we have Jim Jordan to add to the list of the appeasers (Luke 11:42).
Jim Jordan has been embroiled in a sexual scandal and in his case, the sexual abuse of wrestlers in Ohio (1 Kings 13:33) while he is alleged to have simply looked the other way.

With that all aside, I wanted to show you a video that was pulled as fast as it was put up. It was titled: "Watch Rep. Jim Jordan RIP Apart Nancy Pelosi, Hilary Clinton and the entire Democratic Party"
After watching this pathetic attempt in justifying the unjustifiable, I wanted to make sure that the American people understand that name-calling is not justice. It is, in fact, a lack of justice upon the heads of these criminal politicians (Luke 22:48) that are responsible for destroying our Constitutional Republic as we know it (Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution).
Also, pay attention to the fact that at no time did he make reference to the law nor did he call for justice in condemning those he was calling out.
It is government's job to magnify the law against the crime, not the crime against the law (Deuteronomy 25:1), but if you do not know the difference, they can continuously get away with what they have been getting away with for far too long in this country, lawlessness!
In conclusion: Would there be a better guy to appoint over the house committee in protecting criminal politicians than one that has been covering for criminals in colleges for decades? Only you can answer that!
The writing is on the wall (1 Timothy 6:5).

And it's left Animals Australia fuming.
The NSW Government passed legislation in August but cabinet reversed its decision on Tuesday.
Shatha Hamade, legal counsel for Animals Australia, told Neil Mitchell it was a dark day in Australia's political history.
'Today well and truly marks a low day in Australian politics,' she said on 3AW Mornings.
'This decision had a basis in not being about political point-scoring in the first place.
