How We Can Prevent Nuclear War With North Korea

By Lisa Fuller | Common Dreams
Everyone from Former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and President Vladimir Putin to Steve Bannon and China agree: war with North Korea would be so horrific that it simply can't happen. Up to one million people could die on the first day of such a war. At that rate, it would take two months to match the death toll of the whole of World War II.
According to Paul Edwards, an international security expert at Stanford University, the effect of a major nuclear war would be comparable to the "giant meteor believed to be responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs." Leading researchers Alan Robock and Owen Toon warn that even "a regional conflict has the potential to cause mass starvation worldwide."
If it wasn't for Donald Trump's threatening rhetoric, his continual sabotage of diplomatic efforts, and his personal insults directed at Kim Jong-Un, the U.S. would not be on the verge of war. No other American president has elevated tensions so dramatically, but Trump shows no signs of changing track.
Nevertheless, the U.S. still has alternatives: despite numerous reports to the contrary, North Korea has said they would be willing to negotiate about their nuclear program if the U.S. stops threatening to destroy it. In that case, what can be done to build pressure inside the U.S. to pursue a peaceful solution to the crisis, and how can ordinary people help?
It's here that historical precedent may be useful. When we reflect on the Holocaust, for example, we tend to vilify prominent Nazi leaders like Adolf Eichmann who were "just following orders," while extolling ordinary citizens like Oskar Schindler who used creative strategies to prevent atrocities.
Few of us believe we would have behaved like Eichmann. Many of us would like to think we would have acted like Schindler, and hundreds of others who have developed non-violent resistance when faced by the prospect of war and large-scale killing. The choice we face is the same today—and we have the strategies and tactics to make nonviolence work. But first we have to recognize the seriousness and urgency of the situation.
Several indicators suggest that Trump could be preparing to initiate a pre-emptive strike against North Korea in the second half of November.
First, according to the State Department, he has already said that he would launch a first strike if North Korea developed the capacity to deliver nuclear warheads to the continental United States. Last week, CIA Director Mike Pompeo announced that North Korea is "on the cusp" of achieving that goal and "it's now a matter of thinking about how do [sic] you stop the final step." Pompeo's statement is consistent with earlier predictions that North Korea would develop such capabilities by early 2018.
Second, in early October Japan's Minister of Defense, Itsunori Onodera, implied to reporters in Tokyo that Trump would initiate military action in mid-November unless North Korea complies with US demands.
Third, back in August of 2017, U.S. military officials said that they needed a few months to prepare logistically for war. Then they began preparations. This timeline suggests that they will be ready to carry out a first strike in November.
Fourth, on October 20th 2017, Trump declared a national state of emergency and legalized a limited military draft.
Even GOP members are reportedly "praying Trump doesn't do something really, really stupid," according to a former Republican member of Congress who wants to remain anonymous. His former colleagues have said that they would support Trump's removal—potentially by invoking the 25th amendment to the U.S. Constitution—if the leadership of the Republican Party gave "the signal to everyone they can bail."
It seems that in this process, Republicans are just 'obeying orders'—as with Eichmann's defense of his actions in World War II. Perhaps they need a reminder that the judge in Eichmann's trial ruled that "blind obedience" made him no less culpable when he found him guilty of war crimes.
None of these developments guarantee that nuclear war is imminent, or that a preemptive strike against North Korea would necessarily be judged a war crime, but they do suggest that such a strike is highly plausible, if not probable. The stakes are high enough to make all Americans take the threat of war very seriously, and to organize immediately to prevent it. Yet large-scale activism has failed to materialize thus far. Why?
The first problem is that there is little sense of urgency, largely because government officials never offer a time frame for when they expect hostilities to break out. It's easy to become complacent when you've been hearing that we are "on the brink of war" for months.
A good example of this problem in another area was the failure of activists to mobilize people in response to the May 4, 2017 House of Representatives vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), despite successfully doing so around other votes to repeal the ACA both before and afterwards.
What made the difference? The May 4th vote wasn't scheduled until one day before it took place, so people didn't "realize how close the GOP [was] to repealing," and therefore it "didn't feel like we were in an emergency," according to Moveon.org's Ben Wikler.
Conversely, a clear timeframe was a major factor behind one the biggest success stories in terms of resistance against the Nazis. In Denmark, 95 percent of the local Jewish population survived, in part because a German diplomat leaked the Nazi's plan to remove them to death camps three days before the projected start date of the operation. That information was widely disseminated through the Danish population, who then organized to help the vast majority of Jews escape to Sweden in the span of 72 hours.
The second problem is insufficient awareness about the potential consequences of nuclear war. According to Alan Robock's research, "most people, including high-ranking defense officials, are unaware that a nuclear war occurring halfway around the world…could seriously harm the homeland."
Even Schindler didn't act until he fully understood the magnitude of the Holocaust. In fact he was a member of the Nazi party himself, and only began his efforts to save Jews after he began witnessing atrocities against them.
Third, there is no consensus on the best way to prevent a war. While there is general agreement that Trump is responsible for escalating tensions with North Korea, opinions are divided as to the best solution, and most of the suggestions that have been made are unviable.
Many groups and individuals—including most recently Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi—have advocated for legislation that would prevent Trump from launching a nuclear strike unilaterally. While such laws would (theoretically) pry Trump's finger off the nuclear trigger, they won't stop him from escalating tensions to breaking point.
There have also been increasing efforts to instigate an impeachment process (so far with little sign of the necessary Republican support), but even if proceedings were initiated now, Trump would still have plenty of time to launch a nuclear strike. War could start in as little as four to six weeks, whereas historical precedent suggests that impeachment would take several months: President Clinton's impeachment process took over four months, and Andrew Johnson's more than three.
The only remaining viable option is invoking the 25th amendment, which would remove Trump immediately, but that would still require the support of either a majority of Congress or Trump's cabinet, as well as Vice President Mike Pence. Pence's acquiescence might not be as difficult as some imagine, especially under pressure from both the American public and Congress. Invoking the 25th would satisfy Pence's presidential ambitions, not to mention his suspected deep-seated but carefully concealed resentment of Trump.
Even in this scenario, large-scale public pressure would be vital, so what kinds of actions might help to create it?
The efficacy of activism is not predicated on the size of a protest crowd, but on the leverage that the public exerts on decision-makers' interests. Members of Congress care about their re-election. Organizing locally and holding representatives individually accountable can be effective because they are afraid of losing the support of the people who would be voting for them in the next election.
The grassroots activism that—so far—has prevented Congress from axing Obamacare is a great example of this strategy in action. Even though Republicans had spent eight years swearing to 'repeal and replace' the Affordable Care Act, many of them retracted their support because thousands of their constituents called their offices, turned up at town hall meetings, and publically embarrassed them.
The obedience of Republicans in Congress is always politically motivated, since they fear that moving outside of party lines will cost them their jobs. But if they think that their obedience will actually lose them the next election they will be less likely to follow in Eichmann's footsteps. That's why large-scale public pressure is the key to preventing nuclear war.

Q: GetOpenFileNameW results in FNERR_INVALIDFILENAME, or CDERR_INITIALIZATION if I call GetOpenFileNameA Here's the code using GetOpenFileNameW:
import core.sys.windows.windows;
import std.stdio, std.string, std.utf;

pragma(lib, "comdlg32");

// Fill in some missing holes in core.sys.windows.windows.
extern (Windows) DWORD CommDlgExtendedError();
enum OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST = 0x001000;

void main()
{
    auto buf = new wchar[1024];

    OPENFILENAMEW ofn;
    ofn.lStructSize = ofn.sizeof;
    ofn.lpstrFile = buf.ptr;
    ofn.nMaxFile = buf.length;
    ofn.lpstrInitialDir = null;
    ofn.Flags = OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST;

    BOOL retval = GetOpenFileNameW(&ofn);
    if (retval == 0) {
        // Get 0x3002 for W and 0x0002 for A. ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646916(v=vs.85).aspx )
        throw new Exception(format("GetOpenFileName failure: 0x%04X.", CommDlgExtendedError()));
    }

    writeln(buf);
}

This results in FNERR_INVALIDFILENAME, but I don't see any non-optional strings that I haven't filled in. And here's the code (only differences shown) for GetOpenFileNameA:
auto buf = new char[1024];

OPENFILENAMEA ofn;
// ...
BOOL retval = GetOpenFileNameA(&ofn);

This results in CDERR_INITIALIZATION, and the only elaboration MSDN gives me is
The common dialog box function failed during initialization.
This error often occurs when sufficient memory is not available.

This is on Windows 7 64 bit, DMD v2.059.

A: buf has to be zeroed completely. The problem here is that wchar.init == wchar.max (for error detection reasons), so your array is essentially 1024 instances of wchar.max. A simple buf[] = 0; should fix that.

10 young children die in 10 hours at Bangladesh hospital
London: Tuesday, 10 February 2015, 08:57 AM
Ten children ranging from 1 day to 3 ½ years old have died in over a span of 10 hours at a state-run hospital in Sylhet northeastern Bangladesh, prompting authorities to investigate whether negligence by hospital staff played a part in the deaths.
Abdus Salam, deputy director of M.A.G. Osmani Medical College and Hospital in Sylhet city, said on Tuesday that the children had been suffering from various complications, including malnutrition, infection and pneumonia. The deaths occurred between 8pm on Monday and 6am on Tuesday.
Salam said the deaths were "natural," but relatives said negligence by doctors and nurses was the main factor.
Salam said authorities were still investigating the deaths.

Every year, the pleasures of summer relaxation begin to overlap with the excitement of a new year at school for children and especially for new teachers. They start to craft plans and take up the work stress that often seems to be growing like a weed.
There is no doubt about it, beginning your time as a teacher with new faces, unfamiliar procedures and pitfalls you don't really know of yet can be a scary deal. After all, you are the teacher and you can never let your students see you sweat.
Start off with a clearly laid out plan that offers both rewards and consequences. Explain it to the kids on day 1 and keep reviewing it throughout the first two weeks. You can also make a copy of your discipline plan and send it home for the parents to review. Remember to ask the parents to review the plan along with their children and sign it.
According to most experienced teachers, the best advice they believe they can give to new teachers is to have plenty of exercises ready before the first day. Children are prone to misbehaving when they have nothing to do and you don't want to learn it the hard way. A class full of bored kids will misbehave if they have nothing to do.
Don't make the mistake of not insisting on a peer teacher or a mentor. Be sure that you have someone to go to for advice as you might not know everything about the school or the children in your first few days as a teacher.
Involve children's parents as much as possible. If there is a celebration at school, send a note home asking for donations. If there is another extracurricular event, do remember to invite all parents over with their children. You will surely be surprised how helpful this can turn out to be.
The best way to not fail as a new teacher is to find an organizational system that you can live with and stick with. With more than 50 students looking up to you, it is absolutely crucial that you stay organized at all times.
Don't assume that the students know how to maintain their notebooks, folders and organize themselves. Show them exactly what you want of them on their papers and homework. Create quality standards and make sure that the children follow them.
Once you start off as a teacher, be sure to maintain a professional journal. After the completion of a year, this journal will help you reflect on all your practices and allow you to add to your personal growth. Of course, don't forget to have fun! Once you are relaxed with seeing your students every day teaching will certainly become more enjoyable for you.

Dynamic and visionary, the company has always known how to adapt to new market requirements, while remaining faithful to its customers' needs. Born from a small mechanical fitting shop with two employees, it is now recognized as a Canadian leader in the manufacturing of trailers of all kinds. Certified CSA W47.1 by the Canadian Welding Bureau, Remeq is appreciated for its reliability and for the excellence of its products, as much in the Quebec market as in Ontario, the Maritimes and the United States.
In 1978, Mr. Berrnard Cormier and his wife Lise Lacoursière acquired the company to take it even further. Shortly after the change in management, a new building was erected and allowed Remeq to increase its production volume and experience an interesting diversification. In 1997 and 2007, two major expansions took place and allow the company, still today, to be efficient and to offer a wide range of products.

In business since 1955... and in place for many years to come.


Did you know that jaw pain and headaches can be linked to a chronic dental issue?
Most patients don't know that some of their symptoms can be linked to a bite disorder called TMD. TMD is a disorder that affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which allows the jaw to function properly. When there is stress on the temporomandibular joint, it may cause uncomfortable symptoms like orofacial pain, earaches, jaw pain, and even headaches. At Integrated Dental Arts in Greeley, CO, Dr. Melvin Benson, and Dr. Jacob Dunham offer a range of treatments to help alleviate symptoms associated with TMJ disorder and restore function back to your smile. Dr. Benson and Dr. Dunham have extensive training and knowledge about identifying and treating patients with TMJ disorder. To ensure a healthy, functional smile, we focus on treating any underlying issues that may be the cause of your TMJ disorder. By getting to the root of the problem, we can create a strong, stable foundation for your treatment. If you are experiencing any symptoms associated with TMJ disorder, contact our Greeley, CO dentist office for the care you need.
Understanding the symptoms of TMJ disorder can help patients know when to visit their dentist. Although we encourage our patients to visit our office biannual for routine preventive care exams, we understand that many patients don't visit the dentist until there is a problem present. Routine preventive exams are put in place to allow our dentist to thoroughly examine your mouth, teeth, gums, and joints for any signs of complex dental problems. Catching complex dental problems early gives your dentist the best chance of finding an effective solution to treat your smile. However, if you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we suggest you schedule an appointment at our Greeley, CO dental office to get the treatment you need.
Mouthguard: If your TMJ disorder is a result of teeth grinding, we may suggest a mouthguard to protect your teeth while you sleep. Teeth grinding can result in worn and uneven teeth. A mouthguard can help reposition the teeth to prevent teeth grinding.
Orthodontics: Orthodontic may be a valuable solution for patients with misaligned or crooked teeth. To alleviate stress on the TMJ, orthodontics can be an excellent solution to eliminate uncomfortable and painful symptoms.
Restorative Dentistry: We may suggest dental crowns or dental bonding to correct damaged teeth. The goal is to alleviate stress on the TMJ, which may be causing painful symptoms.

Q: Why would I use history.pushState isntead of location.hash? There are a number of issues with pushState for an SPA:

*

*The web server must be specially configured to respond with the SPA index.html for any of the application routes.

*Assets and routes share the same space, causing confusion. A typo isn't an easily-debuggable 404 response, it's a 200 "OK" with HTML.

*The index.html is cached by browsers separately for every route the user arrives on, rather than once for all routes.

Whereas the URL fragment seems a logical fit for SPA routing, and solves all of these issues.
However, I notice that pushState is increasingly more common; obviously there must be some factors I'm not considering.
When/why should I consider using pushState()?

A: Here are some advantages of using the pushstate:

*

*Urls without hashes just look better (ok, it's a matter of taste maybe);

*You push both a url and (optional) data which enables you to restore the state of your application without doing a new request for data;

*A user can use the standard forward and back buttons of the browser to go back and forth in your app (assuming you handle things well) which you could consider as a consistent experience... ;

*... and you can provide custom forward and back buttons and call history.back() or history.forward() or history.go(-1) or history.go(+1)
When going back and forth, you can use
window.addEventListener('popstate', e => { /* code that uses e.state and location.pathname */ })

to restore things.
Then, indeed, there is the issue of having to return a single html page for each url that is not an actual asset.
One way to resolve this is to put the assets elsewhere (let's say on a CDN or assets.yourdomain.com) so your appdomain only has the return one single html file. Okay, when creating a SPA, you probably also want to be a PWA and have to return the manifest and serviceworker from the same domain where the app html is coming from so you may still end up with two exceptions but they are not very likely to conflict with your routing urls.
Another way is using tools like WebDevServer (https://modern-web.dev/) or Webpack (https://webpack.js.org/) which provide ways (history fallback api) to return a standard html for non-existing assets/resources.
Hope this helped in making some sense of the pushstate.

K-9s – partners in fighting crime
By Troy Wolbersen, Douglas County Sheriff on Feb 6, 2019 at 9:38 a.m.
Sgt. Wade Lerfald is shown with his police dog Vinny, who will be retiring this summer after eight years of service. (Celeste Edenloff / Echo Press)
Most people tend to like dogs, and cops are no different that way. We just happen to like having them at work also. Our police dogs (K-9s) are partners that have abilities a human partner can't provide. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has had a K-9 program since 1979, and we currently have two K-9 partners. Deputy Bob Peper is K-9 Ozzy's handler and Sergeant Wade Lerfald is K-9 Vinny's handler.
Just like people, K-9s hit a point in their lives where it's time to retire and live the good life. The average police K-9 works for 7 to 8 years. At age 10, Vinny has reached his eighth year of service, and will be retiring early this summer. Vinny still has the drive and desire, but the wear and tear of the job has begun to catch up with him. Vinny will enjoy his retirement years with Wade and his family.
We are happy for Vinny and also excited that we will soon have a new K-9 partner. In a few weeks, Deputy Ben Jarvi and Sergeant Lerfald will be travelling to Iowa to meet and bring home K-9 Hunter. Hunter is a two-year-old Belgian Malinois crossed with a German Shepherd. Both breeds are intelligent and have the abilities it takes to be a police K-9. Crossing the breeds has proven to be very effective.
Presently, Hunter is getting some training in preparation for attending the Minneapolis Police Department K-9 Training Facility. Hunter's current trainer has trained K-9s for the military and law enforcement and is very happy with Hunter's progress. Deputy Jarvi (Ben) has been selected to be Hunter's handler and in March will be attending the 13-week training in Minneapolis with Hunter.
Ben will be forming the bond it takes to have an effective partnership while also learning what it takes to handle a police K-9 and maintain Hunter's training. Obedience and socialization will be the first subjects learned and will be reinforced throughout the 13 weeks. It is important that Hunter is extremely obedient to Ben. It is also essential that Hunter is socially acclimated so that he can be trusted around other people, family and pets. The ability to control aggression is a priority with police K-9's for the handler and the dog.
Hunter will also be trained to detect and track the scent of suspects and lost or missing people both indoors and outdoors. Through his training and Ben's handling skills, Hunter will know the difference in the tracks and whether to be aggressive or passive to the person he locates. Hunter will learn to locate objects as well. This is especially important when we are trying to locate weapons or other evidence that may have been hidden or tossed by suspects. It might also come in handy if Ben forgets where he put the remote control for the TV.
Apprehension work will be part of Hunter's upcoming training. Hunter will be trained to apprehend dangerous suspects when necessary and will be trained to bite and hold. This means that he bites once and doesn't let go until he is told to release. One reason for that is to minimize the injuries to the suspect. Hunter and Ben will also receive specialized training in narcotics detection to complete Hunter's multi-purpose training.
The goal is that by the end of May, Hunter will receive his Police Dog One (PD1) certification and become our new partner to protect and serve Douglas County.

Posted by Passerby on May 6, 2017	 May 6, 2017 First Impressions / Seikai Suru Kado
Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata ♭ – 04
Eromanga Sensei – 05
「ナノカ」 (Nanoka)
"Nanoka"
I know we did this last week, and nobody wants to do it again, but Seikai Suru Kado insists, so we've got to talk about it: it's the UN again. Unless things have drastically changed between the present and the day a giant alien cube lands in Japan, there's no such as the 'UN military'. Sure, there's a the peacekeeping force, the guys in blue helmets who get shot at in movies, but that's the purview of the General Assembly, not the Security Council. Indeed, if the Security council wanted to use its teeth, it'd probably just be licensing individual member states to take action. Read: NATO will go bomb Japan, I guess. And even then, in the real world I assure you'd there would be more than just a protest demanding the government submit to the UN. There would certainly be a similarly sized protest with signs saying, 'To hell with the UN'.
But then even if everybody is scared of the Wam, I find it a bit hard to believe that the entire world is so gung-ho about bringing the hammer down on Japan so easily. In a story that makes such a big about negotiators and negotiations, one may have imagined that we would have seen some of that between Japan and the other world powers. Instead, it seems that it's all an unilateral exercise, with the Security Council treating Japan as a rogue state from the get-go. I mean, even North Korea gets a visit from a Clinton once in a while, but Japan? Apparently, nobody wants to talk to them, and if Wam are really more dangerous than nuclear weapons (and I suppose they are, being of infinite potential and all), then perhaps a round of appeasement would not be uncalled for. No, perhaps I nitpick, but the immediate sanctions seem both excessive and unrealistic. I mean, a freeze of assets of all Japanese individuals? That is, frankly, ridiculous, and any negotiator worth their salt knows that's a bluff. Such a freeze would mean a global economic crash then and there. True, Japan is no USA nor China, but they're still nominally the third largest economy in the world as of the time of writing. Almost 6% of the world's GDP. And I'm sure there are many interest groups in politics and business that would rather not see all that shut down. The global economy is interconnected. Such unprecedented sanctions would very much be cutting off one's nose to spite one's face, and then the face will be free to invent a brand new economy for itself on the back of infinite energy, anyway.
In short, I don't completely buy it. It feels, to me, that Kado is being rather heavy handed here, perhaps over eagre to turn Japan into a pariah in its story. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it's just building on the 'humanity is terrible' guilt trip that it's been stringing along. Let me play devil's advocate and be apologist for humanity (since humanity apparently needs an apologist these days). There's a lot of talk in Kado about how Wam is just a tool, and if humanity makes a mess of it then it's all our own damn fault. Is it entirely? Is Za really, entirely blameless? That's a large concession to make to an alien with inscrutable motives. Sure, he talks about possibilities, of differing opinions, and of finding the right answer, but the ball's actually in his court a lot, isn't it? He's the one with the secrets to the Wam. He's the one who insisted an open media conference, and then when then later decides, nah, let's actually have private meetings instead. Za wants, Za gets.
Za wants to spread Wam to the world (by giving it to only Japan? Wah?), and perhaps we should have been given more time to think about whether we want to do that, and the best way to do it. Because, really, technology and society need time to catch up to each other. We're still grappling with the implications of nuclear power today, and now suddenly Wam, named after the appropriate sound effect. Just a tool? Perhaps. But nitroglycerin is a tool as well, and we at least put on a pair of safety goggles before playing around with it. Not for Wam, it seems. Let's just do it and see what happens: said the generals ordering their troops to merrily stroll across the Somme.
Perhaps it is the case that saying Za did something wrong to humanity by spreading Wam is rude and arrogant. Still, let's not say there's no responsibility here. When one drops a pebble into a pond, does one blame the water for rippling? And to say that Za did something right to humanity is rude and arrogant, too.
This makes no sense. If it is so easy to make Wam from paper, why did it take so long to make 196 of them?
May 6, 2017 at 10:19 am	3 years ago
I imagine the paper Wam is more of a concept rather than what is supposed to be a functional piece of hardware. Like setting of a firecracker to show the force of a nuclear bomb.
Since we don't get any thing like plausible material composition or anything more advanced, and just going from my limited understanding of advanced physics and quantum mechanics (-_-)…..I imagine the actual Wam are some kind of metal (maybe carbon>) somehow squeezed down into a 6 dimensional quantum object? Best I can think of.
Smokex365
I guess only cute scientists can make Wam from paper. It's an ability which exceeds the capability of an anisotropic being.

Perhaps it is the case that saying Za did something wrong to humanity by spreading Wam is rude and arrogant. Still, let's not say there's no responsibility here. […] And to say that Za did something right to humanity is rude and arrogant, too.
I think the "rude and arrogant" bit has been misunderstood here. Had Za withheld the wam, he would be assuming the role of a parent to humanity — as if telling a child: "you can't have this because I don't trust you to handle it properly." The PM is saying that it would be Za that is "rude and arrogant" in that case, not the people opining on Za's choices.
The wam is a really interesting concept. Abundant and cheap energy is the main reason that we're not all serfs today. If energy moves from "abundant" to "limitless" and from "cheap" to "free," it would be a radical change for all of us.
So far the series is interesting and I liked the twist at the end of this episode. The whole series reminds me a little more of Arrival than I'd like, though.
Either way, it seems that the Prime Minister was quite set on absolving Za of all responsibility for his actions, which is quite a preemptive and reductionist point of view. Even then, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
"there's no such as the 'UN military'" but then there's the US like how Trump is sending ships to pressure North Korea, also pressuring South Korea to limit economic trade with the North, as sanction for not going along with the UN nuclear policies,
aoyu
Quite so. But Kado seems insistent on framing the story as Japan vs the world in the form of the UN, when in practice that's not quite how anything works.
Japan vs the World is stuck in WW2 time, and a big down turner for me.. like "see the poor Japanese!, all world are against them".. but in WW2 there are and where no Angels either.. But here in the Anime it lacks this critical info
So.. the path is becoming "lifeless" for me, just resurfacing some old trauma (that i think they are over it)
We are so used to the deadlock in the security council from at least one member veto that we think that is how the UN always works. But if your not one of the 5 members with a veto yes the UN could single you out for crushing like it did for North Korea during the Korean war. This was because the Soviets were boycotting the UN and China did not have a seat yet a mistake the Soviets never did again. Although the security council has passed resolutions against several things in the past otherwise these resolutions have lacked enforcement methods and thus not been carried out. Passing a resolution without enforcement methods is a way one or more of the 5 veto members can voice disapproval while still blocking any real action to stop it from UN control. Here it is completely realistic if there is anything the 5 permanent members actually agree on and actually all are willing to enforce it the UN moves from toothless to a tiger.
Yes it is our fault.
zaShunina's only responsibility was giving wam to humanity and that was his right. He is not part of humanity so he was neither obligated to give wam to humanity nor keep it from them. Also, he didn't do this out of malicious intent.
Your analogy implies that it is inevitable that individuals will abuse the wam and it is, but it clears them of any responsibility for their actions. Everyone has a right to the wam and choice to decide what to do with them. That also makes them responsible for their own actions.
I'm sure no one here would claim that the effects of the wam will be only negative or only positive. There will be blood shed over this, but zaShunina sincerely believes that we can overcome whatever obstacles arise and advance to make a better world. As proof of his sincerity, he has effectively handed all the reins over to humanity, revealing the simple production method of wam and losing his monopoly on it. It's a bit sad that an alien that has yet to fully grasp human customs has more faith in humanity than we do.

This is assuming he has no malicious intent. If I was an enemy of humanity – I would give them all weapons they could not handle because I know that humans lack the maturity to use it wisely.
To make a counterpoint, if Za is not part of humanity, and clearly has limited understanding of it, should he really interfere? Do you believe in the Prime Directive? And Za can believe whatever he so desires, but he has no basis for it, since he's clearly still learning about humanity on a step-by-step basis.
It's true that Wam are simply tools, and we are ultimately responsible for how they are used. But there are many dangerous tools that one should really not be swinging around without at least reading the instruction manual and attending a three-day training workshop. I mean, rocket launchers are just tools. If someone goes out and decides to give every person a rocket launcher and let's see what happens, I'm going to reserve the right to call that a bad idea.
He knew about humanity before he came and at this point I find it safe to say he knows enough and more. Plus he's learning. He has faith in humanity. Faith they should have in themselves.
The concept behind wam are simple. They're just all-purpose electrical batteries. It's fool proof. Rocket launchers are solely weapons and cannot serve any other function so that comparison isn't even fair. I don't even see how wam could be weaponized.
May 7, 2017 at 8:41 am	3 years ago
But there are many dangerous tools that one should really not be swinging around without at least reading the instruction manual and attending a three-day training workshop.
You make a good point. Also there are some humans who would intentionally mis-use dangerous tools for the sole purpose of causing harm, e.g., terrorists.
Do you believe in the Prime Directive?
(a) Star Trek was just a TV show 🙂 ;
(b) Starfleet personnel violated the Prime Directive about as often as they mentioned it; and
(c) More-advanced civilizations (such as the Organians, Melkotians, and Metrons) seemed to have no concept of it — they directly interfered with the Federation, who is less advanced than they — so even in the ST universe it doesn't seem like a universal rule.
I think the Prime Directive made sense in TV-show terms, for two reasons:
(1) it gave an excuse for "playing down" to the level of competition (e.g., not bringing phasers to a knife fight) for the sake of building up tension; and
(2) there's a moral message about it being better to "earn" progress than to have it handed to you, that resonates with people.
But I wonder if that moral message is really true. There are some scientists that claim to have invented nearly free energy. (Personally, I think it's a scam, but let's pretend for a second that it's legitimate.) Aside from one guy who made the discovery, what did anyone on Planet Earth do to "earn" this invention? To the other 7-billion-plus of us, how is that discovery by one guy any different than a gift from the anisotropic being?
The Prime Directive concept does have some merit. It is valid to worry about the costs of interventions. But I find this first argument against interventions invalid if we are talking about saving the lives of millions at the cost of billions saved from the result of the intervention. The second more valid Prime Directive point is interventions often are abused and used effectively for oppression instead in example colonization, yes there were some who took the "White Man's Burden" concept seriously and actually only attempted to improve living standards in the colonies but way too many others it was a excuse for exploration of the colonies instead. And this applied outside of colonies in non government actions of various groups. Third reason for a Prime Directive is interventions can result if more negative than positive due to unexpected consequences. The Wham if able to be made into weapon's of mass destruction would be an example of Wham being a bad thing. Last part of Prime Directive is a echo of the concept developed at the end of the Thirty Years War, maybe one of the worst war ever fought on basis of percentage of population killed and how they were killed it way worse than the World Wars. Here countries agreed that what ever a country did to it's citizens it was only that countries business in order to remove the excuse for most of the war over people practicing the wrong religion would go to hell and that evil beliefs must be punished to prevent God from punishing all. The modern world has often rejected this concept most of the time over various abuses. The Prime Directive sort of a anti Vietnam War message already broken because this non intervention in other countries affairs concern was mostly Leftist propaganda as the Leftists had no problem with Communist nations intervening in other countries affairs only concerned if Western powers did the same. Vietnam was wrong because the population voted in a free and fair election for unification and the US ignored the vote. (learned this fact at the US Army Infantry Officer School of all places)
In short, I don't completely buy it. It feels, to me, that Kado is being rather heavy handed here, perhaps over eagre to turn Japan into a pariah in its story. I'm not sure why.
The trope of Japan (or a lookalike country) being the target of unfair foreign aggression is a common one in several Japanese media. Bonus points if it's the United States overstepping their bounds in a patronizing bear hug that violates Japanese self-determination or Communist China (or similar) trying to undermine the country.
Japan, of course, would be blameless or justified during those tensions. In some problematic stories, it can veer into Imperial Nostalgia territory.
Not every series can be like Concrete Revolutio. That show had its good dose of that trope too, but given its politically-charged setting it also made clear that Japanese people weren't precisely innocent bystanders in all that.
I'm willing to give Kado the benefit of the doubt yet. At least it seems to try at understanding geopolitics a bit.
If this can be of some consolation, at least it's not as repulsive and in-your-face as in Code Geass or Guilty Crown!
This is an extremely dangerous move – it can go either way.
What would you do if you can make Wam?
Goodbye electric company bills!
Make a death ray! 😉
As everyone else has one I just power my house like everyone else.
eCars.. the century of "steam engines" or "explosion engines" (Cars) are over, welcome eEngines drivers
Power Plant Company will go instinct. Because every House, Car and so on, have their own Generator in the Basement, So no need of external Power Plant Generators, even these to charge the Batteries now
Even Africa or other countries, can afford now free cheap Energy sources
But, human emotions and instincts are still there, i do not think that this will turn out only peacefully
example from games: You know the Atom driving Cars from Fallout? just exchange the Atom reactor with this Wam and you have a Picture
Make a colony ship and get the fuck out of the planet as soon as possible with as many people as possible. Once terrorist groups use it, and the rest of the world replies, Eaerth will become Hell itself.
Lord Nayrael
The review jumped right to the meat and missed the emotional and dramatic effects of the episode. Wonderful WTF and Oh Crap faces were done. The emotional effect of making the paper Wham was wonderful and watching the girl genus try to eat the hand and then puzzle out the situation was wonderful.
The term UN forces and military is correct. For the Korean War the forces were called the UN Forces in Korea per Wikipedia. The term UN's military personnel was also used for the forces in Korea and in many of the UN's peacekeeping forces until now. US troops have worn the blue helmet that symbolizes UN forces in several peacekeeping operations. It is correct that the UN has no standing army of it's own troops but the troops contributed to official UN actions are considered UN forces.
I find the UN panic believable although I would hope in reality we would panic slower. But this is a visitor with huge ship from another world I'm sure it got passions going high. Release of the Wham would in the short run greatly effect energy producers and reduce the power of the major powers so I can see a panic to get them under control. The only questionable action I can see is the powers at the UN acting this way not considering what the person who gave the Wham thought of his wishes being denied.
It has been a short time I am quite sure the worlds financial markets are frozen from government action maybe even done as soon as the person in charge of locking down each countries markets saw the huge ship land. If not as soon as the markets started to panic they were shut down. A market shut down cannot continue forever without major negative effects but time is still short. The energy sector will take a dive but most other industries prices should actually spike higher as the massive reductions in production costs and travel costs come under consideration. There is no reason for a world wide negative economy as the cheap power effects will be positive immediately, tourism should boom as soon as Wham make hydrogen and other alternative fuels practical. It just the poor saps and countries in the energy business that will suffer.
And that's the tricky thing about sci-fi; they really need to sell you on their vision, or else suspension of disbelief breaks and the drama loses a lot of effectiveness. At the same time, I think the most interesting sci-fi also invites us to question its world-view to provoke thought about the future.
I sure hope they share some paper folding instructions so that we can make wam at home.

At this point this show is reminding me of GATE: enlightened Japan put upon by the rest of the world. The higher profile of the JSDF in this episode only increased that impression. I'm curious where it's going to go, but right now I see a potential to exceed the benign racism of GATE.

Lampard outlines where £70m Bayern Munich target Hudson-Odoi needs to improve for Chelsea
Nizaar Kinsella
The Blues winger could leave the club before deadline day as his manager weighs in on where he needs to improve to get to the next level
Frank Lampard believes the in-demand Callum Hudson-Odoi needs to improve off the ball to reach the next level, particularly when it comes to implementing Chelsea's pressing system.
Hudson-Odoi made his first Premier League start since the UK lockdown due to coronavirus in the 4-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.
That lack of minutes in the league had prompted Bayern Munich to believe that they could convince Hudson-Odoi to move to the Bundesliga champions.
Chelsea have rejected Bayern's attempt to sign the 19-year-old on loan with a view to a £70 million ($89m) deal for the England international in 2021, with talks set to continue ahead of the transfer window closing on Monday.
With his future in doubt, Lampard was asked to compare Hudson-Odoi with Willian, who left to join Arsenal this summer, and assess his game with the spotlight firmly on the young winger.
"I am not sure I want to compare him to Willian, they both have some aspects but they are not as similar as you might think," Lampard said at Stamford Bridge.
"With Callum, his work off the ball is something I am trying to improve because at this level in the Premier League, you see how we worked last year, and Willian was the first trigger in us winning the ball back.
"He covered so much ground in high areas, at speed, off the ball. Wingers have to have that mindset these days. That's something I put on Callum and he has to improve on little bits and he did better, but he can still do more.
"I think Callum's natural ability is on the ball, taking people on the outside and that's what he can do, and those things will come out as Callum keeps developing. As he builds confidence, he needs to know that I am behind him in that sense because he can bring a lot. Then, we will see a lot more from Callum.
"We have to remember he had a very difficult injury to overcome at a very young age. It is not easy to do that when you are a player with pace, trickery and explosiveness of that nature.
"I think this season Callum can offer a lot for us in those terms because of his natural ability."


What network is an iphone 4 from the apple store?
I bought an iphone 4 from the apple store, what network will it be on?
IT IS UNLOCKED - it'll work on any network. Next Q: yes, your old sim won't fit. The iPhone 4 needs a microsim. You get them from your network, or you can buy a sim-cutter in a phone shop.
O_o hahaha that question didn't occur to you b4 you paid a few hundred £££? I am free for adoption, my man ;) IT IS UNLOCKED - it'll work on any network. Next Q: yes, your old sim won't fit. The iPhone 4 needs a microsim. You get them from your network, or you can buy a sim-cutter in a phone shop.
I was so excited when I bought it that it didn't even occur to me what about the network. Got to get a sim cutter I think.


Amazon Aurora Review: "great RDBMS that can scale up and replicate very well"
I use Amazon Aurora as a relational database in the cloud in the aws eco-system mainly as a SQL data-store for transaction analytics. Find it really superior for its sheer faster performance as a relational data base - much faster than a traditional RDBMS data base and is much cheaper than some its competitors. It is offered as 'database as a service' and hence the worries of finding hardware to provision is not there and can get quickly started.
It works very well with mySQL and can supplement it very nicely with much faster performance and its ability to scale up as well as replicate data across multiple clusters. In addition it is very well suited for large workloads of an enterprise that is looking to get up and running quickly on a managed RDBMS service without worrying about licenses/provisioning and the like.
Amazon Aurora is a PaaS database product from AWS that is a drop-in replacement for existing workloads utilizing either a MySQL or PostgreSQL backend that improves upon the database engine performance of those open source projects. We leverage Aurora for its simple scaling without having to take a cluster down, and find its auto-scaling storage to be a better fit for our workloads than having to guess ahead of time and over-provision.
Performance: We utilize Aurora as a PostgreSQL replacement, and Aurora's throughput is up to 3 times higher.
Simple Instance Auto-Scaling: We can scale the underlying database engine up or down with no down time.
Auto-Growing Storage: Rather than having to over-provision, Aurora automatically adds blocks of 10GB to your storage cluster up to multiple terabytes of storage.
Amazon Aurora Review: "Amazon's opensource relational database service"
Amazon Aurora is a relational database as a service which supports MySQL and Postgres DBs on AWS.
My organization uses a lot of serverless features on AWS for developing microservices. In this regard, we use AWS Lambda for microservices and Amazon Aurora for a relational database.
This is a lightweight maintenance-less option of providing microservices without having to maintain the infrastructure including AMI rehydrations on AWS.
Aurora is a relational database as a service on AWS which is MySQL and Postgres compatible. So if you are looking for a serverless option which going through need to host and manage a database then Aurora as a service is great.
It is a simple and cost-effective open source database which is much cheaper than a normal database cost. Hence very efficient for microservices database where you do not need one very large centralized database but many small databases that are available and low latency.
Aurora provides high performance and low latency. Last year they also announced multi-master in the same region and read replicas in multiple regions. This is very convenient if you are trying to design and build a highly reliable application.
Just like AWS DynamoDB which is a not a SQL solution and is truly a global DB, it would be great if AWS Aurora can become a global DB. What that means is that it is multi-region multi-master. That way writes to different regions of AWS would all be in sync and available in replicas on different regions.
If you are trying to build a serverless backend.
Amazon hosted relational database service (RDS). So we do not have to manage the database maintenance.
Backup and archival can be done to AWS S3, which is very convenient.
It provides high performance and scalability.
It's very secure. You could use AWS Key management service (KMS) to encrypt and store data on AWS Aurora.
Amazon Aurora Review: "A Serverless Future for a Database from the Past"
The engineering team uses Amazon Aurora Serverless to rapidly build services that are inexpensive to operate and maintain. Aurora Serverless is an ideal datastore for low-volume or bursty services that can tolerate its cold starts; services consumed by batch jobs are an example. Amazon Aurora Serverless is a fast MySQL 5.6-compatible datastore; it helps our small team because it is managed and very inexpensive.
Amazon Aurora Serverless is great for micro-services and serverless. If DynamoDB's pricing structure and management appeal to you, but you want a RDBMS, consider Amazon Aurora Serverless. If you have a microservices architecture and are apprehensive about the cost of one-RDS-instance-per-service for every test cluster, consider Amazon Aurora Serverless. Aurora MySQL lacks many features you'd expect from PostgreSQL; the absence of these features may be more tolerable for OLTP use-cases than OLAP use-cases.
Amazon Aurora Review: "Great performance and easy transition from MySQL"
We use Amazon Aurora as our primary data store which underlies the bulk of our system operations - primarily via web APIs. Its used beneath a PHP stack as a MySQL compatible cluster in a master-slave configuration. We also have master-only clusters for our development and test environments.
When already using a relational database, either MySQL or PostgreSQL, the change to Amazon Aurora should be very straightforward. The main benefits you get are cost efficiency and ease with regards to the storage, as it scales with you, and managing clusters including failovers are made very straightforward for you.
If you are looking for a database which can scale up and down quickly with demand, Aurora may not be the best fit. However, there is now an Amazon Aurora Serverless service which attempts to address this requirement. I do not have any experience with it, so cannot comment further - but it is possible it will fit your use-case.
Review: "Amazon Aurora - A Boost on Standard MySQL"
Cloud services are the trend. No infrastructure costs and no worries. Cloud databases are also the trend, as they can be easily scalable and upgraded.
As a senior consultant I recently configured an Amazon Aurora database to serve as the back-end of an organization software. This software included a main server providing services for mobile applications and also as a back-office web application to manage transaction information. These services relied on the Amazon Aurora database to collect and save information. Customer needed a database accessible from everywhere, with high availability, fast, always up to date and scalable as it was expected the business to grow as well as its storage needs. The Amazon Aurora turned out to be a stable solution with high performance when compared with in-house solutions like MySQL.
Amazon Aurora has high availability, since the customer started to use it, the database never had to be left out of service.
The cost of Amazon Aurora when compared to a simple MySQL instance is considerably higher, so we really need to look at and run some performance tests to compare if the performance improvements are worth the extra cost.
Although backup restores are a rare feature to use, when we need them it is always painful to restore our data. We are always searching for a database service to provide new and innovating features in terms of data recovery. For instance, being able to search on backup information to see if the needed data is there. It is a very common need to compare the hot data with the backup data, for example to fix some database data that a malfunction application wrongly updated.
Since aurora is an Amazon relational database service there is no way to run a dev database on a local storage for tests and development.
Amazon Aurora should be considered for those who need a fast and reliable cloud database service. It includes the main features of a MySQL database, using the latest trends in architectural principals. It ensures out-of-the-box fault-tolerance and high scalability. It is also very important for those who don't want to worry about features and security updates. As the price is higher than a standard MySQL for instance, it should only be considered for higher applications where performance and scalability is really important.
Review: "Using Amazon Aurora to better your software and development team!"
Amazon Aurora is used by my organization as the backend for our software. Previously, we hosted our own MySQL servers which inevitably due to lack of resources ran behind on updates and thus performed more poorly than it should. Moving to Amazon Aurora has improved performance for a database that was poorly designed at the start and was operating on a slowly outdated MySQL version. Moving to Amazon Aurora not only improved performance, but allows my company to continue with fewer resources but yet have the advantage of a database that is more stable and stays up to date with the latest features. Since moving to Amazon Aurora, we also have fewer replication errors since Aurora does this flawlessly.
I'd like to see Amazon Aurora get ahead of the curve on MySQL and introduce their own improvements to MySQL to make it a superior database so that I don't need to use SQL Server or Oracle to get performance improvements. For example, improve performance of views.
Amazon Aurora needs to improve the ability to restore backups as needed. Currently, the user can only restore an entire instance to a new or existing RDBMS instance. If you need to retrieve data from a single table, this can be tedious after waiting hours for an entire restore to complete. Instead, allow the user to select a database to restore. Better yet, allow the user to restore a database backup to ANOTHER database - which would allow you to restore a database on the same instance.
Again beat MySQL to the punch and introduce REAL server to server communication since they have disabled the "Federated Engine" which was the only way previously to do this. I'd like to be able to setup MySQL instances to talk to other MySQL instances.
Amazon Aurora (as is MySQL) is better suited for light to medium applications considering it still has some performance limitations from MySQL. I would not recommend it for enterprise level use without a carefully constructed backend system (code and database). My company's current backend architecture was not mapped out very well and this leads to performance problems that even Amazon Aurora has not been able to completely sort (although it has been a huge help).
Another area where I am finding it beginning to lack is for use in data warehousing. The more rows added, the less performant I'm finding the data warehouse. Although to be fair, Amazon has another product (Redshift) that we are looking to migrate data warehouses into.
Amazon Aurora is a MySQL compatible relational database system from Amazon Web Services.

Cherry Tree Nursery celebrates 25th anniversary with new building
By Caitlin Marsh
HUNDREDS of people turned out for the opening of a new £250,000 building at a Bournemouth charity supporting people with mental health issues on Thursday.
The celebration at Cherry Tree Nursery, based off New Road Roundabout, was attended by the Mayor of Bournemouth, Cllr John Adams, and his Mayoress, Suzi, and the Lord Lieutenant of Dorset, Mr Angus Campbell.
It marks 25 years of the charity and saw volunteers, members of the public and supporters of the cause come together for the ribbon cutting of the Sylvia Bowditch Building.
It was named after the charity's late patron, who Jess Davies, manager of the nursery, said backed them as senior trustee of the Alice Ellen Cooper Dean Charitable Foundation by ensuring they received a donation each year until she died.
Jess Davies added: "When we set up 25 years ago, Dorset Healthcare Trust gave us their old mobile chiropody unit for us to use.
"Over time, it got damp and cold and we thought that we really had to a permanent provision. At the start we only had a three year release from Bournemouth Council. When we got to our 20 birthday, the council gave us a 21-year lease.
"We really wanted a proper natural sustainable building because it's all we stand for about the restorative powers of nature."
Jess said that the building was designed in three stages to create minimum disruption for the charity's volunteers and said that it was a 'huge' fundraising mission to reach £250,000. She said that luckily this was met with help from many charitable trusts.
Volunteers now have a tea room, disability advice room and quiet room to use, as well as the charity having a permanent office space for their headquarters. "What is fantastic is that the building was finished in our 25 year.
"The response this year has been amazing. You really feel that there's a strong loving support for Cherry Tree Nursery. A lot of people say that the charity represents unconditional love."

Getting to know the opposition – Forest Green Rovers
Woking welcome Forest Green Rovers to Kingfield tonight as they look to extend their winning run.
Goals from Scott Rendell and Joe Jones saw Woking claim their fourth league win in March making it a perfect month for The Cards as they beat Wrexham 2-1.
Tonight's visitors find thmselves five places and four points ahead of Woking when they arrive at Kingfield tonight. However, this will be a tough game for Woking as FGR have invested heavily in their side for this season and will be aiming for the play-offs.
Forest Green Rovers' last six results –
Southport 2-0 Forest Green
Rendell puts Woking ahead at Kingfield on Saturday.
Forest Green 0-0 Welling
Forest Green 2-1 Grimsby
Tamworth 1-2 Forest Green
Forest Green 0-2 Braintree
Forest Green 4-0 Salisbury
We talked to Richard Joyce @RichardDJoyce to find out more about the Gloucestershire side before we were due to play them at Kingfield in Febuary.
Forest Green were among the favourites to get promoted this season but have struggled in the league, where has it gone wrong this season?
Consistency has been a major issue. Going into this weekend's game is the first time Rovers have recorded back-to-back wins since November and it is always hard to predict which way it is going to go while our away form has been poor too. The squad is very strong but was still suffering a hangover of the disappointment of last season in my opinion where we went from being in the top three to drastically dropping to tenth in the final couple of months of the campaign. Subsequently that hangover ultimately cost David Hockaday his job in late October when team morale was pretty low. The players say they were not feeling the pressure of the 'favourites' tag being put on them but given Rovers have been nicknamed 'moneybags' by some it has made life difficult sometimes.
You have appointed Adrian Pennock as your first team manager, what difference has he made?
The changes which Ady has implemented since getting the job a few months ago are just about beginning to show right now. He has added a lot of personality to the role which I know has been welcomed by the squad, so what he has done off the pitch has been fantastic to raise the morale of the team which was pretty low following David Hockaday's departure. On the pitch however he has made the team much more of a threat. We continue to keep possession brilliantly but we are more direct with our use of it unlike previously when we often provided little threat despite dominating the majority of games. He's brought in a number of signings including Lee Hughes who is probably the stand out one but he is eager to cut down on the squad too which isn't the biggest in the league but remains quite large.
Betsy scores the opener against FGR last season.
James Norwood has got 16 goals for you so far this season, will he be a player to look out for on Tuesday?
James is a very explosive player and he finished as our golden boot winner last year with 15 goals so he is well on his way to beating that record. The great thing about James is not only does he find the back of the net but he creates goals for his team mates too. He is one of the fastest players in the league and I would not fancy being a defender if he was running at me and powering towards goal. So yes he'll definitely be a threat on Saturday – Forest Green fans will be just hoping he remembers his shooting boots like he has done in our last two matches.
What other players have you been impressed by this season?
Marcus Kelly has been an absolute gem. Signing a one-year deal in the summer after a fair few years at this level it is remarkable that he is not playing in League Two. From midfield he has averaged a goal every other game pretty much this season and is very lively. Al Bangura adds a lot of class that saw him burst into the Premier League as a youngster while the impact of Lee Hughes of late has been great too. If selected at centre back, because he has recently been suspended, Dale Bennett has been a class act as well.
Finally what is your score prediction?
It's ambitious because our away form this season hasn't been great (only three wins on the road) but I am going to go for a 2-1 win for Forest Green with our goals coming from James Norwood and Danny Wright. I can see Kevin Betsy getting Woking's goal as he did against us once last season.

Dave Mason, FGDC
Dave Mason was born in Baginton, a tiny village outside Coventry, England. His family immigrated to Montreal in 1967 and eventually settled in Vancouver in 1970.
He found his way to a career in design through a combination of genetics – innate abilities to draw, think creatively / analytically, and to pay attention to details likely inherited from his aeronautical engineer father – and accident – a chance meeting with a friend of a friend who shared some of his work as a graphic design student. Dave's formal design education began at Kwantlen College (now Kwantlen Polytechnic University) and continues to this day.
Taking the sage advice of his then future wife, he formed Vancouver-based Dave Mason & Associates Inc. immediately upon college graduation in 1982. Working first as an illustrator / retoucher, Dave ultimately moved into the field of corporate communications design, where his work gained attention in the business and design communities in both Canada and the US.
In 1993 he was invited to sit on the advisory board of a US paper company, an experience that connected him with Greg and Pat Samata, accomplished and respected designers based in West Dundee, Illinois. Following two years of friendly harassment / persuasion, Dave partnered with Greg and Pat to form SamataMason Inc. From its offices in Vancouver and West Dundee, SamataMason became synonymous with excellence in corporate communications design through its work for an international clientele that has included Tupperware, Intrawest, Swiss Army Brands, BC Telecom, Whirlpool, Sesame Workshop, QLT and NCR. Today SamataMason is a multidisciplinary design firm that meets challenges related to identity and brand, corporate communications, human resources, marketing and innovation for clients ranging from start-ups and not-for-profits to some of the world's most admired organizations.
Honored for excellence in numerous design publications and competitions, Dave's work has appeared in Communication Arts, The Mead Annual Report Show, AR100 Annual Report Show, Graphis, Applied Arts, AIGA 365, Graphex, How, Step and Designer's Workshop Japan, and has been exhibited at The Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg, Germany. He has served as a juror for many international competitions including Communication Arts Design Annual, The Mead Annual Report Show, AR 100 Annual Report Show, Taiwan International Poster Competition and Applied Arts, and he has served as a guest speaker at numerous design and business schools, conferences and events throughout Canada, the United States and Asia.
Beyond his accomplishments as a designer, Dave is co-founder of a number of successful businesses including OpinionLab Inc., the leader in web and mobile voice of customer feedback systems, Noisemaker Films LLC, a documentary film company whose films have been recognized at numerous festivals and broadcast on public television, and Cusp Conference LLC, an annual Chicago-based conference about 'the design of everything.'
Dave became a member of the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada in the early nineties, serving first as Events Coordinator and ultimately as President of the BC Chapter. The organization's efforts to present a credible and cohesive message about the value of design to business, government and the broader public helped shape his approach to the business of design, and his experiences with the GDC were invaluable in connecting him to the broader design community within Canada, and eventually to peers in the United States and elsewhere.

Ex-Chelsea Striker, Drogba, Announces Separation From Wife Of 10 Years
Former Chelsea striker, Didier Drogba, has announced separation from his estranged wife, Lalla Diakite.
The pair got married on June 12, 2011, in Monaco, France.
But the Cote d'Ivoire legend said they have separated after 20 years of being together.
Although he did not give reasons for their separation, the two-time Africa Player of the Year Award winner noted that it was a difficult decision.
He stated that their children will get maximum protection, adding that the privacy of the family will remain protected.
"I don't normally discuss my private life, but due to false media speculation today, I will confirm that sadly after 20 years together Lalla and I made the difficult decision to separate last year. We remain very close and our main focus has been our children and protecting them and the family's privacy," he wrote on his Instastory.
The marriage produced three children: Isaac, Iman and Kieran.

The best way to activate and stimulate denervated muscles.
The RISE Stimulator, developed for people with a flaccid paralysis, is a new development in the area of electrical stimulation. Unlike the traditional FES system, the RISE Stimulator can be used in a flaccid (non-spastic) paralysis, better known as a low transverse lesion.
In some cases, the FES system cannot be used. The RISE stimulator makes it possible to stimulate degenerated muscles even when this is the case. It is even possible in rare cases to stimulate the muscles in the legs in such a way that the patient can stand up upright.
The muscles in the legs are being assisted by the electrical impulses. The RISE stimulator works independently and cannot yet be combined with one of our BerkelBike models.
WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE RISE?
Its easy-to-use and compact size make the RISE Stimulator unique and perfect for home use. You only need to wet the sponge covers for the electrodes and place them on the muscles that will be stimulated. Elastic bands keep the electrodes in the right place during stimulation. The stimulation process can be easily controlled with the controls and can be observed on the screen.
WHO BENEFITS FROM THE USE OF THE RISE STIMULATOR?
A flaccid paralysis is caused by a transverse lesion that damages the nerves and is characterised by a complete loss of muscle function. Due to the nerve damage, there are no uncontrolled contractions or spasms. Examples of conditions that may benefit from the use of the RISE are plexus brachialis, transverse lesions with Cauda Equina syndrome and conus medullaris syndrome.
Degenerated muscles can only be stimulated directly; the muscles are not stimulated through their corresponding nerves. Instead, the electrical impulses from the RISE stimulator are applied directly to the muscles. In order to induce muscle contraction by direct stimulation, longer and more powerful electrical impulses are required than can be provided by FES. FES is only suitable for paralysed muscles with intact motor nerves. The RISE Stimulator has an electrical output with impulses up to 300 mA, with durations up to 200 milliseconds.
With regular use, the RISE Stimulator can promote muscle build-up and recovery. The following pictures of an MRI scan show how the muscle mass in patients' legs has increased after regular training with the RISE Stimulator.
The pictures show a cross-section of the leg muscles of two people. The top four photos are from one person, the bottom four of the other. The left-hand pictures were taken before treatment and the right-hand pictures show the condition after four years of regular training with the RISE Stimulator.
Electrical stimulation does not only increase the muscle mass, it also aids the recovery of muscle tissue. Photo A is a picture of a muscle taken lengthwise with an electron microscope. Normally, vertical lines should be visible in the muscle tissue. However, this muscle has been inactive for about ten months and, as you can see, the structure has almost disappeared.
Photo D shows the same muscle after one and a half years of stimulation with the RISE Stimulator. The difference is striking; the structure of the muscle tissue, as shown by the vertical lines, is now clearly visible.
On the right you will see optical microscopic images showing the muscle fibers of the muscle.
Photo A depicts a healthy muscle. The large and healthy muscle fibers are visible.
Photo C depicts a muscle of a person who has had a spastic muscle paralysis (UMN) for twenty years. The muscle fibers have shrunk.
Photos E and G have been taken of two people with a flaccid paralysis (LMN). The muscle fibers have shrunk even further.
In spastic paralysis, the muscles remain partly active in a way due to the spasms. Because of this, the muscle fibers remain better intact than in a flaccid paralysis.
Meer weten over de RISE Stimulator?
Whether the RISE Stimulator is suitable will depend on your medical condition. Because the stimulation is much more powerful than is observed in nerve stimulation, there are more exclusion criteria: stimulation on top of metal implants is prohibited; people with a pacemaker, bladder stimulator or artificial circulation pumps need permission from their attending physician; the RISE Stimulator should not be used during pregnancy.

Greenway Missing Links | NSW
Inner West Council (NSW) required a detailed feature and level survey to be completed over a 3.2km section running from Iron Cove to Earlwood, Sydney, to facilitate the design and construction of a renewed bike path as part of the Council's strategic initiative to complete the Cooks River to Iron Cove GreenWay.
The Cooks River to Iron Cove GreenWay is a 5.8km urban environmental corridor linking the Parramatta River at Iron Cove with the Cooks River at Earlwood. Following the route of the Inner West Light Rail and Hawthorne Canal, The GreenWay features bike paths and foreshore walks, cultural and historical sites, cafes, community bush-care sites and a range of parks, playgrounds and sporting facilities. The Inner West community and local councils have been campaigning for over 10 years for funding to complete the remaining 3.2kms of the GreenWay from Parramatta Road, south through Summer Hill and Dulwich Hill to the Cooks River.
The overarching objective of the GreenWay Missing Links Detail Survey was to provide a detail survey suitable for concept and detailed design of the Greenway Missing Links
Following a competitive tender process, Taylors were awarded this project. The project encountered numerous complexities, including thick vegetation and steep batters and access restraints with land within the GreenWay corridor being owned by several agencies (including Inner West Council, City of Canterbury-Bankstown, Roads and Maritime Services, Sydney Trains and Sydney Water).
Small sections of the proposed GreenWay shared path also passed through privately owned land, but strong negotiations and good design overcame the challenge. Access into the light rail corridor and heavy rail corridor was also required in some locations and Taylors had to ensure all survey works were coordinated to follow the procedures and requirements of relevant agencies.
To overcome these project complexities Taylors used a combination of traditional survey using Total Station, GPS technology, and Mobile Laser Scanning to access road and rail areas. By using remote sensing techniques such as Mobile Laser Scanning Taylors were able to significantly reduce the need for traffic management, reduce costs and reduce the time taken to complete the survey works.

With these funds, you can profit amid economic disasters
Europe's debt crisis, a spate of natural disasters and political uprisings are prompting investors to seek out investments that promise to protect their portfolios in the event of economic Armageddon.
Worried that Greece could go belly up? So-called black swan funds - named for rare and unexpected events - offer a way to profit in the event of a market collapse. Think a slowdown in the United States or China could set off a global economic crisis? New exchange-traded funds are popping up to help pad investor confidence.
"Clients are suddenly realizing the world isn't as rosy as it's been," said Ahmed Fattouh, a hedge-fund executive. "It makes a lot of sense to have these 'tail protections' on."
That is, protections against what Wall Street calls "tail risk" - a disaster that is estimated to have less than half a percent chance of occurring.
These funds and offerings, usually costly and complicated, can be likened to insurance. Investors lose money on them during normal times but stand to gain if catastrophe strikes.
"In the last decade, we saw two stock-market crashes, which wiped out any gains for investors over the decade and meant disaster for those who had to take their money out to meet big expenses at market lows," said Zvi Bodie, a professor of finance at Boston University School of Management. That, he said, "has just made the current generation of investors more aware that it is risky even over a decade or more."
Wall Street lawyers say money-manager clients have approached them in recent months about forming new funds aimed at providing protection.
Banks such as Goldman Sachs are marketing tools engineered to make investors bulletproof. Products linked to an index known as the market's "fear gauge" total nearly $2.5billion. And in the past year, the amount of money managed in dedicated tail-risk accounts by bond giant PIMCO has doubled to $23billion.
But protection isn't cheap and occasionally fails.
Some say such funds are merely the latest Wall Street fad and might be ineffective because they are designed to protect against the last catastrophe, not the crisis to come.
"The best way to reduce risk is to take things out of the portfolio, not add them," said Ken Grant, president and founder of Risk Resources, based in New York.
