Newport Sea Base to host annual Opening Day celebration
John W. Scaffeta April 10, 2014
NEWPORT BEACH— The Newport Sea Base will get in the swing of spring Saturday, April 12 with a celebration of its annual Opening Day. The event, which will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will offer spectators an opportunity to tour Sea Scout vessels and sightsee on sailboats and pontoons as they circuit the harbor.
Admission is free to the public and includes an afternoon barbeque put on by volunteers from the Newport Beach Firefighters Association. The helping hands will be grilling hamburgers and hotdogs donated by Smart and Final.
"Traditional yacht club opening days—we kind of piggy-backed on that idea many, many years ago," said Shana Bannert, executive director of the Sea Base. "Ours is nontraditional in that it's much more youth-oriented. It's a way for us to open our doors to the community."
The base, which serves more than 30,000 people a year, will offer visitors the option to take part in lawn games and face painting, while also perusing a variety of booths by local vendors and stands supporting Newport Harbor, the Back Bay Science Program and other community enterprises.
An 11 a.m. reception will be followed by a short program on the lawn at noon. Orange County Sheriff's Harbor Patrol Harbormaster Lt. Mike Jansen will serve as the keynote speaker and he will be joined by Sea Scout Ben Brough. The celebratory gathering will also include a flag ceremony fashioned by the Sea Scouts, a color guard presentation, the Pledge of Allegiance and an invocation.
"The great thing is that's its completely open to the public," said Bannert, who will emcee the event. "At the Sea Base, anyone can take a class. Perhaps people think you have to be a Boy Scout to join. (The Open House) is a good opportunity to show the community what we offer here."
Boathouse radio will also broadcast on location, and kids can interact with Coastie, the Talking Tugboat.
"We'll also have a Raingutter Regatta, where you build your own boat and race other builders," Bannert said. "We really have a lot of activities for kids and families."
Bannert said she wants to stress to the community that all Newport Sea Base programs are offered to the general public. The Sea Base, which was established in 1937 and sits on 400 feet of waterfront property on Pacific Coast Highway, serves girls and boys of greater Orange County by providing marine-based educational programs. These classes aid in promoting teamwork, leadership development, nautical safety skills and a foundation for civil values.
"This exposes us to those who don't have the opportunity to get down to the base," Bannert said. "It's always a lot of fun. It's a wide- variety of people coming: out of towners, youth scouting family sailing, and members of the community. Hopefully we have good weather."
Onsite parking is not provided. However, a free shuttle service will be provided from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. from the Newport Harbor High 16th Street parking lot.

This weekend I'm going away for the first time with my new boo. Besides the usual packing panic (it's going to be mid 80s in Virginia! I don't even remember what people wear in Summer anymore it's been eternal Spring for so long), I am also feeling stupidly ashamed of my weekend bag. A berry colored American Apparel duffle, it's not BAD. Just makes me feel like…a girly hobo? I'm 32…shouldn't I own semi-respectable luggage that's not from Am Appy or Target?
Thank the lord that PA Kiki is here with her plethora of luggage and cute weekend bags to save me. In the future though, I definitely plan on investing in a pretty and travel friendly weekender, so I can look like the classy world (read: weekend trips to Jersey) traveler that I am!

A reverse mortgage (also known as a home equity conversion mortgage) is a loan that allows you to get money from the equity in your home without having to make monthly payments. As time goes on, your debt will increase and your home's equity will decrease. The amount you receive from a reverse mortgage depends on your age and the value of your home. You must be at least 62 years of age to qualify for a reverse mortgage.

Home > Collections > Sculptures > Monument to Victor Hugo
Auguste Rodin (1840 -1917)
Known as the Palais Royal Monument
H. 185 cm ; W. 285 cm ; D. 162 cm
S.6686
Cast made by Fonderie de Coubertin in 1997 for the museum collections.
After Victor Hugo's death in 1885, it was decided to erect a monument in his honour in the Panthéon as a pendant to Injalbert's statue of Mirabeau. Rodin was awarded the commission in 1889. The sculptor chose to depict Victor Hugo in exile, seated amongst the rocks of Guernsey, his arm outstretched as if to calm the waves. It was an image both of the poet lost in contemplation and of the champion of the Republican cause.This first project, "which lacked clarity and whose silhouette was muddled",was unanimously rejected. In 1891, the Ministry of Fine Arts found another site for it. It would eventually be erected in the gardens of Palais-Royal. From 1890 onwards, Rodin therefore worked simultaneously on two projects: the first, representing a seated Victor Hugo; the second, for the Panthéon, showing the poet standing. It was also a nude portrait of Victor Hugo, with none of the artifice or idealization usually seen in statues of great men.The body Rodin modelled attested to the writer's advancing years, which did not fail to shock his contemporaries. The plaster of Seated Victor Hugo was shown at the Salon in Paris in 1897, alongside two of the inspirational muses, The Tragic Muse and Meditation or The Inner Voice, which had already accompanied the poet in the early sketches, but which were excluded from the final marble version.

We know what we LIKE 2013
Special Features — 16 July 2013
We've never liked "Best Of'' issues here at City & Shore Magazine — but our contributing editors and writers know what they LIKE.
Rebecca Cahilly, Dining Writer
On-the-Water Dining
Ocean2000 at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort, Fort Lauderdale, Pelicanbeach.com/ocean2000
Our family has always loved this charming resort, but the newly decorated Ocean2000 restaurant and new menu under the leadership of Executive Chef Todd Lough mean there is finally a place, directly on the beach, that not only provides an amazing oceanfront ambience but, most importantly, fresh, locally sourced ingredients comprising dishes that are truly superb.
Virginia Philip Wineshop & Academy, West Palm Beach, virginiaphilipwineshopacademy.com
Where I go when I want to learn more about the wine I love — or discover new wines recommended by a renowned master sommelier. The shop offers great classes, from food pairing to exploring regional varietals that make for a fun evening out for the novice and aficionado alike.
Lunch Spot
Cafe Boulud/Boulud Sud, Palm Beach, bouludsud.com
Quintessentially Palm Beach, the idyllic courtyard at the Brazilian Court Hotel will be home to Boulud Sud, a summer pop-up concept offering Mediterranean-inspired dishes in an equally inspired Provençale ambience. This is a very special and beautiful place now serving fabulously light, summertime dishes and heavenly desserts.
Slice of Florida
The Le Tub Saloon, Hollywood, theletub.com
Laying claim to the "best hamburger in America," Le Tub is simply a great Florida spot with its on-the-water tables, eclectic décor and no frills, don't-mess-with-the-menu service. Sit back, crack a beer and enjoy your burger, salad or steamed clams — life is good. (Note: Not the best place to take very young children; no high chairs available.)
Dessert Destination
Jaxson's Ice Cream Parlour, Dania Beach, jaxsonsicecream.com
What can I say, I'm a sucker for old Florida, antique ice cream shoppe charm. Established in 1956, Jaxson's is not only the place to go for ice cream on a warm summer night, it's great for lunch, dinner or late-night summer revelry. The kids love the popcorn and old-fashioned candy and we love the huge banana splits and milk shakes.
Five-Star Summer Treatment
100 S. Ocean Blvd., Manalapan
"From the Eau Spa and the Eau Spa Cuisine, where a summer afternoon can be spent sipping a spritzer while lounging in the sun, the former Ritz Carlton, now named the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, is my definition of quiet luxury. Sommelier Don Derocher never fails to impress with the evening's wine recommendations."
Doreen Christensen, Beauty & Shopping writer
SolScents Sun Care
$14.95 at GBS Beauty stores, gbsbeauty.com; or SolScents.com
Get a whiff of this bright idea: Scented sunscreens from South-Florida based SolScents. Protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun and smell delicious to boot. The broad-spectrum, SPF 15, 30 or 50 formula comes in seven yummy fragrances. The velvety, lotion-like texture and soft scents makes you want to apply sunscreen as part of your morning routine.

Jake Cline, Assistant News Editorfor entertainment
miamicityballet.org
So-called high culture is rarely as relatable or as entertaining as the work done by the MCB, which in the past year has garnered a new artistic director in Lourdes Lopez, cast former New York Mets slugger Mike Piazza in a piece by George Balanchine and turned a certain arrhythmic, lowbrow entertainment writer into a fan.
Art and Culture Center of Hollywood
artandculturecenter.org
The name of this venue may seem like an oxymoron, but given how much attention its staff and curators pay to visual arts, music and community with exhibitions such as this past year's Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares: Love on an Elevator and the forthcoming Charles M. Schulz: Pop Culture in Peanuts, a case can be made that it is the only true art and culture center in Broward County.
Brew Urban Cafe, two locations in Fort Lauderdale
brewcoffeeshop.com
Nothing against Starbucks, whose coffee I may as well drink intravenously, but Brew serves the best cup of American joe in South Florida. Redolent of chocolate and tasting less acidic than its competitors' coffee, Brew's house blend resists being mucked up by milk and sugar. Just drink it as it's served and keep the tongue-twisting requests to yourself.
Island Water Sports, Deerfield Beach
islandwatersports.com
If you're not a surfer, you'll want to be after a visit to this long-standing skate and surf shop, located a short walk from the Deerfield Beach pier, and more important, the peaks located just to the north of it. Of course, waves don't break often enough in South Florida, but when they do, IWS will let you know, via its live web cam and daily surf report. The store, recognizable for the great white shark protruding from its roof, carries an impressive selection of long- and shortboards, skateboards, gear and apparel. Beyond that, IWS is a great hang, offering a friendly staff and a sanctuary in which to daydream about past and future swells.
Flanigan's, 22 locations throughout South Florida
flanigans.net
With restaurants from West Palm Beach to Pinecrest, this locally founded chain wears its Old Florida credentials like a permanent suntan. The food is served fast and fried, with service to match; and the atmosphere ranks somewhere between chaos and pandemonium during major sporting events. Come for the madness, but stay for the beer, ribs and fish dip, which is among South Florida's finest.
The Local, Coral Gables
thelocal150.com
"Cool" and "Coral Gables" are anything but synonymous, but damn if this sliver of a neighborhood bar isn't out to change that. The Local's selection of craft beers is dizzying in every sense of the word, and the kitchen serves the best burger on the block. And when you've had your fill of beer and beef, you can feed your head by waddling over to the iconic Books & Books, located one street away.
Bob Hosmon, Wine & Spirits writer
Seventh Street Wine
seventhstreetwine.com
Ask wine enthusiasts (including other wine merchants) in and out of South Florida, and they'll tell you Fort Lauderdale's Seventh Street Wine is a remarkable concept in retailing, a place where customers can taste hundreds of wines before buying any of the shop's 2,500 labels in stock. It may be called "Seventh Street," but new and long-time visitors call it "seventh heaven."
Wine Watch
winewatch.com
A well-stocked Fort Lauderdale boutique wine shop with unique selections and great prices, this long-time favorite also has a well-informed, helpful staff. Indeed, Andrew is a walking, tasting font of knowledge. Just ask him anything. Could you ask for anything more? Well, Wine Watch also sponsors regular wine dinners at Café Maxx. Yum!
The Best Cellar
beaconmgmt.com
Richard Steller oversees this user-friendly wine spot, and he does it so well, it's worth a drive to Wilton Manors no matter where you live in South Florida. Specializing in small estate selections, the special draw here is the weekly sit-down wine tastings. Go on line, check out the next event, and make arrangements to be there. You'll be glad you did.
Total Wine & More
totalwine.com
The first visit to any Total Wine warehouse-like space can be overwhelming. But don't fret; a sizeable, well-trained staff is ready and more than willing to help you with whatever questions you may have. Every Total Wine carries thousands — yes, thousands — of wines at price points that any wine lover can love. I like to try the wines I've never seen before, especially those that are exclusive to Total Wine.
67 Liquors
67liquor.com
I visited a 67 store in New York before I knew they also had a presence in South Florida. It's a small chain, and perhaps that helps keep the feeling that each shop is your special, dependable neighborhood place. The wine selection isn't huge, but it's well chosen, and the staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. Enjoy yourself; you're at home here.

Surgery without cutting
Gamma Knife and CyberKnife, which use targeted radiation to destroy otherwise inoperable tumors, are saving lives in South Florida. Although both have been around for several years, refinements have been made that provide pinpoint accuracy, protecting healthy tissue while blasting the bad cells. Both perform radiosurgery, but in different ways, with Gamma Knife more often used for brain surgery while CyberKnife can target lesions in other parts of the body.
Breast cancer treatments
holy-cross.com
sylvester.org/locations/sylvester-deerfield
South Florida breast cancer specialists are among the first to offer new treatments when they become available, such as the Intrabeam radiation therapy performed by Dr. Joseph Casey at Holy Cross Hospital. Given just after a lumpectomy while the patient is still in the OR, the treatment can reduce by several weeks the usual radiation follow-up. And the newest drugs are offered by Dr. Charles L. Vogel, director of the Women's Center at Sylvester at Deerfield Beach, a pioneer in expanding clinical trials to oncologists' offices.
Chuckalfieri.com
For women undergoing chemotherapy for breast or other cancers, Chuck Alfieri salons in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Miami and New York City specialize in hair restoration, offering amazingly natural wigs, and once hair starts to grow back, specialists can speed up the process, getting new growth of six inches within nine months instead of the usual year and a half, says owner Chuck Alfieri. "We are a salon/clinic with three doctors on staff, and we work with oncologists all over South Florida," he says. "These women are ready to conquer their disease, and we are here to restore their self-esteem." The salons accept insurance, and for patients who don't have it, "we make it affordable for everybody," Alfieri says.

Flaunt, West Palm Beach
go-flaunt.com
Every Thursday night fashion and music enjoy a honeymoon at Flaunt, one of South Florida's longest-running dance parties. Located on West Palm Beach's Respectable Street, the place features a crowd who wear their trendiest attires and ornaments, while hitting the dance floor and shaking away their cares. Live bands play their music loud, and the party gets hot. Folks also have the option of the patio, a great outdoor-area for networking.
Romeu's Cuban Restaurant
romeuscubanrestaurant.com
South Florida's long-established veneration of Cuban cuisine has a new sanctuary in which to worship: Romeu's Restaurant, at 6800 Dykes Road in Southwest Ranches/Weston. If you are a foodie who likes to taste the authentic old-style Cuban flavors, your senses will be pleased in this place, where the fare is fattening, but tastes amazing. The staff is very courteous and the restaurant has a nice ambience. The palomilla steak and the rest of the menu items are very affordably priced.
Living Room Theaters
fau.livingroomtheaters.com
You no longer need to wait for your annual film festival or surf movie channels to watch foreign and indie films. Most of the winning entries at Sundance and Cannes are running at Living Room Theaters at FAU in Boca Raton. This very intimate and comfortable place serves a tapas menu and a decent wine and beer selection (microbrews, too). Coffees and teas are also available; so sip and munch while you catch a film or attend a Q&A with top-tier filmmakers.
SunFest, West Palm Beach
Sunfest.com
The spirit of Woodstock comes alive for me each year at SunFest, Florida's largest music and art festival. With the waterfront in downtown West Palm Beach as a perfect backdrop, this year's festival was attended by upwards of 200,000 enjoying music by a multitude of front line rock and reggae bands. Over five days each year, in late April, early May this delightful outdoor venue also offers art shows, craft booths and plenty of food.
The Paladium Nightclub
paladiumnightclub.com
Fans of Celia Cruz, the Fania All Stars and the Mambo Kings keep their legacy alive at the Paladium, a venue in Margate for salsa and other Caribbean rhythms all night long. On Saturday night, an endless stream of salseros shows up and leads you to two dance floors where bodies in the good-looking crowd are grinding and gyrating. The party is fueled with live music played by well-known national bands, while bartenders serve an assorted selection of shots.

Built around the fresh waters of the Crystal River, this three-mile long town became a worldwide destination after Elvis Presley filmed his ninth movie, Follow that Dream, inside its Citrus County Courthouse. The limelight hasn't changed its quaint charm. Today, Crystal River and its surrounding area is surrounded by oaks draped with Spanish moss. The rivers are an attraction year around. In winter, you can swim with manatees; and, in summer, snorkel for fresh-water bay scallops.
wynwoodmiami.com
When the Wynwood Art District was founded in 2003, warehouse walls were transformed into makeshift canvases for graffiti artists. The result? Sixteen blocks of wall-to-wall artwork that have brought life and business to a downtown district located between 20th and 36th along I-95 in Miami. Today, the Wynwood Art District has coffee shops, restaurants, bars and more than 70 museums and galleries; and includes acclaimed works such as the Margulies and Rubell Family Collections. Wynwood Art Walk takes place on the Second Saturday each month from 7-11 p.m.

Anastasia Island is quintessential Florida. St. Augustine's 18-mile barrier island has pristine beaches, salt marshland, shops, restaurants and is home to the city's amphitheater, which seats more than 4,000 people. The island is also home to the St. Augustine Lighthouse, which is recognized as the state's first lighthouse. The Spanish originally constructed it as a watchtower in the 1500s. The lighthouse, situated 165 feet about sea level, is one of the best places to observe an unobstructed view of a Florida sunset and moonrise.
turksandcaicostourism.com
Turks and Caicos is a relaxing getaway that sits in the Atlantic 550 miles southeast of Miami. Like the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos is English speaking; and, like the Bahamas, its 40 islands and cays are wrapped in pristine turquoise warm waters, eight of which are inhabited. Even though this island is considered a British Overseas Territory, the U.S. dollar is the official currency, which makes buying coconut rum cocktails while relaxing on the white-sand shores a bit easier.

Classy countertop
pinongrill.com, iddidesign.com, attainc.com
Restaurants are more than just food. Service and design also make the experience special. One of the most intriguing aspects of the design at Pinon Grill at Town Center Mall in Boca Raton is the countertop that is reminiscent of the priceless walls of the Amber Room in St. Petersburg, Russia, which were presented to Peter the Great in 1716 by the King of Prussia and stolen by the Nazis in WW II. Pinon's 3-inch thick countertop of poured resin with indirect lighting was custom made by Atta in New York City for the commercial interior design firm ID & Design International in Fort Lauderdale.
Stately statues
sklarfurnishings.com
Homes with high ceilings require accessories that don't get lost or look like they are in miniature. What we need are pieces that are tall and memorable. Two of my favorite examples are the resin statues of a male and female found at Sklar in Boca Raton that resemble statues in a promotion for Art Basel in Switzerland. The statues, 13 by 16 by 84 inches, would make a grand statement in a great room or an entry foyer.
Going in circles
christopherguy.com
brownsinteriors.com
Mirrors have come a long way from simple circles, rectangles, ovals and squares. One of the most intriguing is a mirror by Christopher Guy that I first saw in a Delray Beach home designed by Patty Gilbert of Brown's Interior Design in Boca Raton. The spyrograph mirror intertwines three single ribbon rings with the complexity of hand-carved twists. It comes in three sizes – 44 by 44 inches, 51 by 51 inches and 57 by 57 inches.
Contemporary cache
arthur-collection.com
I may be a traditionalist at heart, but I still can appreciate good, sleek modern design. Eric Dyer, a Hallandale Beach architect/designer known for his clean contemporary style, has designed a furniture collection that meets his clients' desires for comfort. His made-to-order Arthur Collection was created with a European modern aesthetic combined with Asian proportions. Shown is the 144-inch long Rotterdam sofa that sits on a rift cut oak base, but it can be ordered in various lengths. The Shanghai cocktail table has a brushed oak top and mirror polished stainless steel ends with integrated storage wells. The legs are reminiscent of stilettos.
Italian elegance
armanicasa.com
Giorgio Armani not only designs clothing with elegance, his furniture line also echoes the same aesthetic. Now South Floridians can find his furniture in his Armani/Casa store in the Miami Design District. The D'Alambert armoire is available in brushed oak, brushed brown oak or brown mahogany and is accented with a round handle with the GA logo reminiscent of a Chinese wedding chest. Metal accents are placed on top and bottom of the chest. Three options are available – a small wardrobe with drawers, a home office or a multi-purpose storage unit.

Chiara Troccia's sandwiches start with her fresh bread rounds, which are filled with such made-in-house ingredients as grilled eggplant, roasted red peppers and chicken marinated in the fresh herbs she grows out back. Sandwiches don't get any fresher.

While the oysters shouldn't be missed, Chef Matthew Danaher's shrimp and grits made with green chile and jack cheese along with andouille gravy will revive your appetite for this Southern staple.
Riverside Market, Fort Lauderdale

Owner Julian Siegel calls his beer emporium and cafe a combination of man cave, living room and "a tribute to old Florida." I call it a Fort Lauderdale piece of heaven. With 550 different bottles and 20 on draft, it also has the best beer menu in South Florida.
Marcello's La Sirena, West Palm Beach

The building looks as if it once housed a fast food joint. (It didn't). Once inside the tight dining room, the team of expert servers in white jackets plus the magic from the kitchen will remind you why we go to restaurants in the first place.

My favorite setting on the Intracoastal Waterway is this glass homage to Frank Lloyd Wright, on the water at Commercial Boulevard. A perfect perch to enjoy cocktails and watch the yachts pass.

seatherestaurant.com
First at Sunfish Grill and now at Sea, chef and owner Tony Sindaco is one of the best seafood chefs in the region. His tuna Bolognese features meaty pieces of fish and a tomato-based sauce with just a bit of butter. Incredible.
buccan, Palm Beach

Everyone's serving small plates, but nobody does it better than chef Clay Conley. Or with such a sense of humor. Hot dog panini anyone? Short rib empanadas, lamb meatballs and grilled octopus salad top my best-of list at this bustling island eatery.

LaSpada's Original Hoagies
laspadashoagies.com
At this local sub staple, there's a symphony to be found when one of LaSpada's sandwich makers tosses a fistful of deli meat across the room, which then lands, like a catcher's mitt, into a spread-open hoagie. The generous deli cuts – be they capicola or ham – are then tucked into the sandwich, forming a kind of meat blanket over the toppings. The "Monster" sub – a trifecta of ham, roast beef and turkey – is a personal favorite, as is the meatball marinara, one of LaSpada's rare hot subs. The hoagie joint recently added their fifth outpost on Southeast 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale, with other locations in Coral Springs, Davie and Boca Raton. Their flagship perch, however, is in Lauderdale-By-the-Sea, catering to Broward's loyal legion of starving beachgoers.
Shark Valley
Everglades National Park, 305-221-8776,
SharkValleyTramTours.com
Twenty miles west of the Turnpike along Tamiami Trail, a 15-mile loop road carves through a wedge of the Everglades. That would be the Everglades National Park known as Shark Valley (note: despite the name, there aren't any sharks), which is home to red-shouldered hawks, banded water snakes, green tree frogs, ospreys, the white ibis and other native wildlife. We haven't forgotten alligators, known to crawl up from the drainage pipes lining either side of the loop road to catch the South Florida sun. Shark Valley offers guided tram tours and a gift shop for first-time families, naturally; but the more-adventurous can walk or bike the entire trail. (Bike rentals are $8.50 an hour.) The halfway mark of the loop road is anchored by a 65-foot-tall Observation Tower, standing just above the tree canopy, where a majestic view of the Sawgrass prairie opens up for miles around.
O Cinema
90 NW 29th St., Miami
o-cinema.org
In October 2012, Wynwood's popular arthouse cinema expanded to a second, 330-seat outpost in Miami Shores, ensuring that obscure movies, rare documentaries and grindhouse-horror alternatives continue to have a place among South Florida's glut of multiplexes. Their Wynwood location (you'll know it by the storefront's graffiti- and cartoon-heavy façade) has a semi-regular dinner-and-a-movie event paired with new screenings, weekly showings of underappreciated cult films (ever hear of Blood Feast?) and a monthly film series dubbed I'm Not Gonna Move to L.A., where local directors screen their shorts for audience awards. The local cinema, operated by Kareem Tabsch since 2011, is a regular contributor to the area's well-attended monthly Artwalk.
F.A.T. Village Artwalk

fatvillage.com
At four years old, Fort Lauderdale's warehouse arts district is hardly in its infancy, filled as it is by a sharp fleet of businesses catering to creative types. There's C&I Studios, a music and graphic design firm; Helium Creative, a graphic design studio; and several art galleries. Anchoring all this vibrant activity is the last-Saturday-of-the-month Artwalk, where the warehouses collectively roll up their bay doors to unveil new projects gestating in the minds of local artists. The highlight of a recent Artwalk was a technology-themed exhibit, featuring a helmet-shaped device that renders random computer-generated art using brainwave patterns. Near the dozen galleries is local Irish pub Maguires Hill 16, so art-lovers have another place to, uh, paint the town after strolling the district.

and this image:
<asp:image ID="Image2" runat="server" ImageUrl ="PhoneBook.aspx?ImageID=1"/>

but when I run this code I get "save picture on disk" and not insert to the image control
How to fix it ?
thanks

A: Try to remove:
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename="+dt.Rows[0]["PIC"].ToString());

also set the Response.ContentType to the mime type of the image, not to the filename.
(here is the list of mime types: http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp)
and then tell us if it works
Another option would be to create an asp.net handler (.ashx) instead of an aspx page.
Sample here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms972953.aspx

Operations near CUHK campus aim to protect people: HK police
By Zhao Yu, Bai Yunyi and Cheng Zhong in Hong Kong Source:Global Times Published: 2019/11/13 17:38:40
A senior Hong Kong police officer said police operations at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) on Tuesday are only aimed at stopping rioters from throwing debris onto the street.
Wong Wai-shun, senior superintendent (operations), said at Wednesday's press conference that at about 5 am on Tuesday, some people dropped debris from the bridge to the highway. Because vehicles had to avoid the debris, police officers had no choice but to go to the bridge to disperse and prevent the mobs from throwing debris.
When the police handled the mob, there was a confrontation. The only goal of the police was to protect the drivers on the Tolo Highway. However, during the operations, some rioters attacked us from the side of the university with debris and Molotov cocktails.
Earlier on Tuesday, protesters at CUHK threw objects onto Tolo Highway and an MTR track. To stop such illegal acts, Hong Kong police moved in to disperse the crowd, but faced a fierce standoff with protesters at an entrance of the Sha Tin campus.
Student protesters also stormed a storeroom on campus and stole bows, arrows and javelins. Some mainland students also said groups of rioters besieged their dormitories and spray-painted insults on the wall.
Wong said there was a deal with the school, which was that as long as the mob stopped throwing debris, police officers would back off. However, they did not stop throwing bricks and Molotov cocktails and police had no choice but to arrest them.
The school's president communicated with police on Tuesday afternoon and police repeated their stance. However, after the president talked to the students, police officers still saw some rioters confronting them with saws, Wong claimed.
Although the police left at 11 pm on Tuesday, the highway still suffered from congestion this morning. While some people questioned the reason for the police enforcement near the campus, the police stressed that there is only one purpose, which was to protect people.
Wong also showed reporters the bows and arrows rioters used, saying that it can pierce police officers' uniforms if launched within 50- 80 meters.

Q: How plot multiple ggplots curves on the same Graph i'm trying to plot multiple curves on the same Graph with ggplot2.... Actually i'm using a function "draw.data" with some parameters, so i can have multiple plots. But i got an issue, by the first call, i got a plot, once i call the method the 2nd time, i have an error. But i want the curves to be drew on the same Plot.
Hier are my codes:
# f.probit
f.probit <- function(x,beta1,beta2,minv,maxv){

  return(pnorm(beta1+beta2*x)*(maxv-minv)+minv)
}

# f.logit
f.logit <- function(x,beta1,beta2,minv,maxv){

  return((1/(1+exp(-(beta1+beta2*x))))*(maxv-minv)+minv)
}

# draw.data
draw.data <- function(xy, mod, add = F, FUN = NULL){
  # Bibliothek für ggplot-Funktion
  # Dependencies: > library("ggplot2") must be imported!

  x.lab <- "concentration [M]"
  y.lab <- "normalised luminescence [%]"

  my_labels <- parse(text = paste("1E", seq(-10, -4, 1), sep = ""))

  # Find max, min and difference
  # y.max <- max(my.data$y)
  # y.min <- min(my.data$y)

  #y.max <- 1
  #y.min <- 0

  #diff <- y.max - y.min

  # Find percentage and apply to new column
  my.data <- data.frame(xy, model = mod)

  if(!add){
    quartz() # windows() unter MS Windows
    ggplot(my.data, aes(x, y, group = model, color = model)) +
    stat_function(fun = FUN, args = list(beta1, beta2, minv = 0, maxv = 1), geom = "line", aes(group = model, colour = model)) +
    # Draw 2 lines at 50% and 90% through the y-axis
    geom_hline(yintercept = c(0.5, 0.9), linetype = "dotted") + # draw dotted horizontal lines at 50 and 90
    scale_x_continuous(x.lab, breaks = seq(-10, -4, 1), labels = my_labels) +
    scale_y_continuous(labels = percent) +
    labs(title = "Graph", x = x.lab, y = y.lab)
  } else{
    stat_function(fun = FUN, args = list(beta1, beta2, minv = 0, maxv = 1), geom = "line", aes(group = model, colour = model), data = my.data)
  }
}

My call of the function "draw.data" with arguments 'add = F' the second time give my this error:
mapping: group = model, colour = model
geom_line:
stat_function: fun = function (x, beta1, beta2, minv, maxv)
{
    return((1/(1 + exp(-(beta1 + beta2 * x)))) * (maxv - minv) + minv)
}, n = 101, args = list(-4.827511, -0.8401166, minv = 0, maxv = 1)
position_identity: (width = NULL, height = NULL)

What's wrong with this call? And how am i supposed to implement draw.data, so i can get into the else part and call stat_function to draw the 2nd curve on the same graph?
Update:
Hier ist the result:

The 61st edition of the Newport Jazz Festival, America's first jazz festival, included heroic instrumental performances by emerging artists such as alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa, pianist Aaron Diehl and child prodigy pianist Joey Alexander; and by veterans like trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, multi-reeds player James Carter, pianist Fred Hersch, and guitarists Bill Frisell and Mike Stern. Their virtuosity and charisma were matched by four masterful singers, all on Saturday, the festival's second day: Cecile McLorin Salvant, Lisa Fischer (the former backup singer made famous by the film Twenty Feet From Stardom), José James, and Cassandra Wilson (a separate review of Ms. Salvant's and Ms. Fischer's performances will appear here soon).
A festival as significant and storied as Newport can be a force for good or evil, wielding influence far in excess of its three-day duration. Considering its provenance and the historic albums it has spawned – the new 4-CD set Miles Davis at Newport 1955-1975 is only the latest – it is more than a taste-maker; it's a market-maker.
Fortunately, impresario George Wein has mostly used his influence wisely over the years. The 2015 edition was no exception, presenting a representative cross-section of jazz, at least American jazz. The near-total absence of European and Brazilian artists, however, felt like a missed opportunity.
Even so, the dizzying array of talent on hand, in overlapping performances, made for some impossible decisions – bandleader/composer Maria Schneider or the charismatic chanteuse Salvant? Arturo O'Farrill's Afro-Latin Orchestra with guest soloist Mahanthappa, pianist Billy Childs with a trio and string quartet, or the dazzling Diehl? Many audience members (including this reporter) dashed between the four stages to catch at least a few minutes of each performer.
Unlike last year's rain-soaked event, the hot sun shining on Newport this year caused many to seek refuge under a tent or in "Storyville," a repurposed bunker on the Fort Adams Park grounds named after Wein's first Boston night club. As usual, opening day showcased newcomers, younger and more experimental acts, including the Steve Lehman Octet, the John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble, Kneebody and Snarky Puppy. And, in an interesting example of symbiotic cross-marketing, the festival included four panel discussions about the outsized legacy of Miles Davis at Newport, led by jazz journalist Ashley Kahn, and coordinated with the release of a new Columbia/Legacy box set of his historic festival performances. The interviews, held in the cozy confines of "Storyville," included such Davis colleagues and friends including Wein, drummer Jack DeJohnette and guitarist Stern.
José James had the unenviable task of following a performance by Salvant that thoroughly captivated the large crowd. Backed by his agile, hard-swinging quartet, and in an effective contrast to Salvant's dramatic storytelling style, he used his flexible, sonorous baritone as a solo instrument, often sounding like he was riffing on trombone. James flexed his considerable muscles on Coltrane's "Equinox" and standards like "Good Morning, Heartache" and "Body and Soul," at times heightening the sense of playing an imaginary trombone with his arm movements.
Joey Alexander, who recently turned 12, drew large crowds in two separate appearances. In the second he played two Monk tunes, one solo ("Round Midnight") and the other ("Think of One") with bassist Russell Hall. Both would have been worth hearing by any measure. Beyond Alexander's ridiculous technique, one hears lots of melodic and harmonic imagination at play. In other words, he's not just a piano wunderkind; he's a jazz musician. Bassist Hall, who has developed an excellent rapport with his young colleague, played the entire tune with a bemused smile on his face.
Sunday morning's eye-openers were among the most sublime affairs we heard: Billy Childs' Jazz-Chamber Ensemble, including a string quartet and harpist Carol Robbins, featured the inspired saxophonist/flautist Steve Wilson, the versatile West Coast guitarist Larry Koonse, and the enterprising drumming of Ari Hoenig, alternately hard-driving and delicate; he expertly steered the shifting meters of Childs' intricate compositions – post-bop jazz informed by 20th Century classicists like Ravel and Stravinsky.
Programmed roughly concurrently – life and Newport are unfair – was Arturo O'Farrill's Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, who played a powerful set before a large crowd. O'Farrill introduced guest soloist Mahanthappa to play alto on the bandleader's "Afro Latin Jazz Suite." The suite, featured on O'Farrill's forthcoming album Cuba: The Conversation Continues, was written expressly with Mahanthappa in mind. It proved to be an enthralling combination of Mahanthappa's geyser-like, Asian-influenced melodicism with O'Farrill's nimble Latin rhythmic engine. It seemed at times like a new world-music hybrid that was strange, infectious and weirdly compelling – abstract jazz you can dance to.
Two brilliant piano trios played crowd-pleasing sets as well, both featuring leaders with classical technique and highly developed hand independence. Fred Hersch, finally making his Newport debut, played his compositions "Whirl," "Floating" and "Dream of Monk" with an uncompromising delicacy, combined with a sense of freedom and swing. Sinuous left-hand melodic lines were nearly as common as right-handed ones. He was accompanied by his usual trio partners, John Hebert (bass) and Eric McPherson (drums), both of whom played with a winning combination of abandon and restraint, strict time, taste and sensitivity.

The U.S. prides itself on world-class healthcare. And few of us would argue that Alabama is a traditional state where family values run deep. So why are we losing two to four times as many new moms and babies as families Canada, the UK, Japan, or two dozen other developed countries?
On October 26, 2017, Forward Alabama partnered with Make a Difference (MAD) in Alabama, Greater Birmingham Democrats, Birthwell Partners, Women's March Alabama, and Alabama New South Alliance to host the panel Unnecessary Deaths: Why We Lose Alabama Infants and Mothers.
The panel featured MARK E WILSON, MD, Health Officer, Jefferson County Department of Health; JANET M BRONSTEIN, MA, PhD, Professor in the Department of Health Care Organization and Policy and Senior Scholar, Lister Hill Center for Health Policy, University of Alabama at Birmingham, is the author of 'Preterm Birth in the United States: A Sociocultural Approach; JESANNA COOPER, MD, the Chair of the Women and Infants' Division at Princeton Baptist Medical Center ND
Bottom Line: As many as half of these deaths – infants and moms – are preventable, experts say. Use our Printable Postcards & Solutions Scripts to contact the Governor and your Alabama legislators and become part of the solution to saving these young lives.
We are moving into an action phase with state professionals and legislators to push for solutions in this critical area of women's health. We will be collaborating with other activist and women's organizations throughout the state on this make-Alabama-family-friendly campaign all this year.

Do You Dare Stay At The Shanley Hotel? New York's Most Haunted Hotel
Steve King Updated: August 24, 2021
Facebook/Haunted_Shanley_Hotel
The Shanley Hotel in Napanoch, New York is considered the most haunted hotel in all of New York...and that's sayin' something considering all the hauntings claimed by this state. The hotel's history is riddled with tragic accidents, suspicious fires, hangings, dead prostitutes, and even stays by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt who was interested in the paranormal.
The owners say that the hotel is crawling with spirits. Some ghosts have appeared to guests in their "full form," while others have just "poked" and "touched" the guests to get their attention. Visitors have reported cold spots on the porch and other areas of the house that could be signs of paranormal activity...or a bad insulation job if you're a non-believer. There have even been reports of hearing children's voices laughing and their footsteps running up and down the stairs.
A&E's Ghost Hunters even did an episode on The Shanley Hotel where they claim that the hotel is so haunted that children are banned from staying overnight.
So would you sign the waiver and stay overnight in the Shanley Hotel? It's only about two short hours west of the Capital Region so it might be the perfect Halloween weekend getaway. By the way, leave the kids at home, they aren't allowed to stay overnight in the Shanley Hotel because it's too scary for them. Even adults have to sign a waiver to stay releasing all liability from The Haunted Shanley Hotel.

Well, man, if I dont ever see you again, its been fun, he said to Schooley, trying to be lighthearted. This is so sad. Its sort of beautiful, isnt it? she said. He bought a piece of property next door to the Landa, built a sixty-foot replica of a German castle (to reflect New Braunfelss heritage), and had four blue fiberglass waterslides erected around the castle. If you see a couple of people [go down the slide], you say its survivable, Schooley later told a reporter.
They had no immediate plans to build a ride using the cannon nozzle, and certainly had no plans to build it in Kansas City, until Jeff made his pronouncement to the Travel Channel producers. Over the next several days, more Schlitterbahn employees rode Verrckt without problems, and on July 10, after thirty months of work, the slide opened to the public. He represents and counsels them on a variety of matters. Healthcare Outside Counsel Bob, Billye, and the kidsGary, Jeff, and Janapiled into the familys Ford station wagon and drove to the Landa to give it a look. In subsequent seasons, he built the Cliffhanger Tube Chute, the Tunnel Tube Chute, and the 45-minute-long Raging River Tube Chute.

Schlitterbahn was entering the big leagues of American entertainment. For instance, eleven Schlitterbahn customers said they had been injured on Verrckt between August 31, 2014, and August 5, 2016 (two days before Calebs death). Despite all his success, Jeff remained, at heart, a river rat. Tests were showing that the rafts were going too fast and the g-forces were so powerful that passengers might pass out. I suppose it may have just gotten too much for him to "uphold" the perfect image that everyone seems to have of him.
By 2017, attorneys for Schlitterbahn were meeting with the Schwab familys attorneys. As a boy, he was the classic river rat, a Huck Finn in cutoff shorts who spent almost all his free time on the Comal. He apparently enjoyed smoking pot.
Every year, an estimated two million visitors go to the parks to plunge down slides, zoom through twisting tube chutes, and float and swim in man-made rivers and enormous pools. In a black notebook, he constantly wrote down ideas for new rides he wanted to build. As he walked out of the courthouse, his face ashen, a reporter asked if he had any training in engineering or physics. ), On June 16 of this year, after Id attempted to contact Jeff a half dozen times through his legal team and his family, he called me at 1:26 in the morning.

I think that with a full time job at Ed Tech, a full time job as coach and president of the South Texas Sliders, plus maybe the stress of three teenaged girls at homeand this lawsuit, or taxes or whatever would break many of us.

To get even more ideas, he pored over the history of Roman aqueducts and leafed through Jules Verne novels. And in Kansas City, even those who cared little for water or who couldnt afford Schlitterbahns $45 admission ($35 for children) would drive by the park just to get a look at Verrckt.
For nearly a decade, Jeff and Schooley had been working on what they called a cannon nozzle: a highly pressurized water nozzle, much more advanced than the ones used in the Dragon Blaster and Master Blaster, that would propel riders up higher hills. Thank you for bringing me here, he once said to his dad. alized the time had come to do it, he told me later.

(Under the headline The making of Schlitterbahns Verrckt water slide: Too much, too fast? a Kansas City Star article concluded that the ultimate safety of [Verrckt] mostly began and ended with those inspired to build it.) The reporters quoted former Verrckt riders who said their shoulder straps had busted loose or that their rafts had caught air. Had something gone wrong with the cannon nozzle that shot the raft up the second hill? And as if that wasnt enough, they were going to have to invent a special conveyor system to transport the rafts back up to the top of the platform.

I didn't know his wife but had met her and I saw how shattered she is.
Investigators laterlearned, however, that Schlitterbahn employees were required to submit regular ops reports about the rides they monitored and, according to reports that the investigators read, Verrckt had problems that were never revealed to the public. Gary and Jana agreed that Jeff should proceed with Verrckt. He also teaches counter terrorism law at USC Law School. Scott Mayer drives a gray 2010 Ford Escape.

Jeff surveys his most extreme creation, Verrckt, shortly before it opens in 2014. A lot of details about Mayers death will be revealed after the autopsy reports comes in. He said that if he was demanding and impatient, it was because he was consumed with making Schlitterbahn the best water park in the world. Leafing through a newspaper, Billye spotted an ad for a property called Camp Landa, a modest thirteen-acre campground with some sagging frame cabins that was for sale in the Hill Country town of New Braunfels, thirty miles north of San Antonio and fifty miles south of Austin. He added, Neither did Henry Ford, and he built the car., Jeff returned to Texas and stayed out of public view, splitting his time between a condo he owns in South Padre and a home he owns outside New Braunfels on a remote piece of property a short walk away from the grave sites of his mother and father. Although Jeff and Schooley said they used engineers and architects to help them design Verrckt, they also continued to depend on traditional trial and error. According to reports, a body that matched the description of the missing San Antonio man named Scott Mayer was found by a search group on Saturday morning. This is a carousel. I didnt know his wife but had met her and I saw how shattered she is. It was a Sunday afternoon, August 7, 2016, the temperature a pleasant 78 degrees, as ten-year-old Caleb Schwab began the 264-step climb to the top of Verrckt, the worlds tallest waterslide, which loomed like a colossus over the forty-acre Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City. It was a gloriously sunny afternoon, the kind tailor-made for Jeffs innocent old vision of summer fun. They walked up the stairs to try the ride again. I worked with Scott for many years at NEISD and am also shocked at the happenings. . If the total weight of the three riders was between 400 and 550 pounds, they were sent up the stairs.

The raft tipped forward. A half century earlier, in 1966, a Houston accountant named Bob Henry toldhis wife, Billye, that he was tired of city life. He never got a conventional education beyond high school and never formally studied physics or engineering. Waiting for Caleb at the bottom of Verrckt was one of his brothers, along with numerous spectators. Around this time he noticed that some of the people going down his fathers slides were hitting the water too hard. ), Its a tragedy, Jeff told me. But in the U.S., water park rides are not tightly regulated. What could be better?

EPR Properties, the real estate investment trust in Kansas City that loaned Schlitterbahn $174 million for its Kansas park, has warned its investors that the criminal indictments could hurt Schlitterbahns chances of repaying its loan, which might force EPR to foreclose on the park, along with the parks in New Braunfels and South Padre Island, which had been put up as collateral for the loan. Jeff Henry often said that his goal in life was to make customers of his familys legendary water parks happyto put a smile on their faces, to give them a thrill or two. It was a beautiful vision. He pedaled his bicycle across town to buy busted car-tire inner tubes at gas stations, which he patched up and rented to tourists who wanted to float the river. Although the federal governments Consumer Product Safety Commission has the authority to set safety standards for such products as baby cribs and bicycles, it has no authority to regulate water parks. That responsibility lies entirely with the states. Jeff never made any secret of how he built his rides. We were a Texas tradition, and now its over., When I later asked his brother, Gary, about Jeffs comments, he quietly said, It has been a horrific couple of years. But he added that Schlitterbahn is not going out of business.

Tell us more about your photo: White Rock Lake is my favorite place to photo, run and relax (it's just so close to my home). On this hot summer evening, I went out to the lake side to shoot some moon closeups, as it was a full moon night. I shot two pictures, a moon closeup at 300mm with fast shutter speed and narrow aperture to get details of the moon surface. The second picture was a landscape photo of the lake and part of the sky with long exposure settings. Then I used the Image Overlay menu settings in the camera to blend these. I was very happy with the results.

This Teacher Disappeared From Her Bedroom In The Middle Of The Night
Kristin Westra was captured on a neighbor's security video camera returning home from a jog at around 6 P.M. on Sunday.
By: Catherine Townsend
NORTH YARMOUTH, ME — Authorities in Maine have launched a manhunt for a missing elementary school teacher whose husband claims she disappeared from her bedroom on Sunday night.
Jay Westra said that the last time he saw his 47-year-old wife, Kristin, was at around 8 P.M. on Sunday night in their North Yarmouth home when she went to bed.
Kristin Westra was captured on a neighbor's security video camera returning home from a jog at around 6 P.M. on Sunday, according to WCSH.
Westra said he woke up at 3:30 A.M. Monday and, after checking his phone, remembers noticing that Kristin was not in bed with him. At first, he said, he assumed that she had gone to sleep in another room.
Later, he said he noticed that a back entrance to their home "was slightly open" and told authorities that he believed that a pair of his wife's shoes — either running shoes or flip-flops — was missing.
Westra, a pediatric oncology nurse at Maine Medical Center's Children's Cancer Program, told NBC News that his wife went to see a nurse on Sunday to seek help after dealing with several "sleepless nights." He stated that the nurse she visited made the determination that she was not a risk to herself or anyone else.
Westra said that he drove around to look for his wife, and then called police on Monday. "I told my daughter that sometimes adults have stress or worries or anger and just like she would, sometimes adults need time to think," Westra said.
Friends of the teacher took to social media to make a public plea for information. Captain Scott Stewart of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office said that their officers have joined Maine State Police and the Maine Warden Service in the search for Kristin. He said that police are "still investigating this as a missing person."
Game Warden Corporal John MacDonald said in a statement Wednesday search crews, K9s, ATVs, and drones were used to cover wooded terrain. But so far, investigators say they have no leads.
Speaking to reporters, Jay Westra called Kristin "the love of my life" and urged his wife to "come home."

Check Out "The Bible Project"
The Bible Project is a Portland based non-profit that utilizes short-form, fully animated videos to make the biblical story accessible to everyone, everywhere. We create videos, podcasts, and study guides that explore the Bible's unified story by focusing on its overarching themes and each book's literary design. We are committed to understanding the Bible in its historical context and communicating its wisdom for the modern world.
We want to change how people read and use the Bible. For some, the Bible is used as a devotional grab bag. For others it is a instructional manual that fell out of the sky. And for many, it is an oppressive book of out-dated rules used to control people. We believe that the Bible is a divine-human book that speaks God's word to his people. We think it points people to Jesus, who has power to change individuals and whole communities. When we let the biblical story speak for itself, we believe it has immense wisdom to offer the modern world.
The Bible Project is not part of any specific Christian denomination or tradition. Our mission is to help people see the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus. We hope that people from all backgrounds will find value in this work, regardless of their religious or non-religious convictions.

Always get a little down at this time of the year as it's such a dull time in the garden so I've decided to plant something to give me a much needed inspiration … and what better than Sweet Peas ! I can't think of any flower that is so quintessentially English than the Sweet Pea.
We've been growing them for the last 20 years and they really are easy .. providing you don't plant out to early as they will be hit by even the faintest of frosts and remember they hate drying out so plenty of well rotted compost into the planting holes.
One other thing I'm going to try this year is to soak the seeds in water overnight as the packet suggests, which apparently helps the seeds to germinate . After that I'll plant them in some John Innes seed compost and keep an eye out for how many germinate.

Will The World Continue To Look On At The Ethnic Cleansing? – OpEd
May 17, 2018 Kanbawza Win 0 Comments
By Kanbawza Win
The Frontline Public Broadcasting Services (PBS) has meticulously televised the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingyas by the Tatmadaw (Myanmar Army), followed by the Australian and BBC televisions. Hypothetically or rather hypocritically why it is highlighted only now when the Tatmadaw has been implementing this ethnic cleansing since its inception, when the then Burma Independence Army threw a grenade into a Karen church during the Worship service way back in 1940s?
But this legal ethnic cleansing became known only, when the Tatmadaw launched a military coup in 1962 and since then there was no stopping of the ethnic cleansing over its more numerous non-Myanmar indigenous ethnic nationalities of Burma.
Numerous NGOs have systematically recorded and published this ethnic cleansing policy but the civilized world including the UN were muted. It is only now that the Western Corporate media picked it up and highlighted. Is this because the Burmese proverb "when the Burmese cries no one hears, only when the Ka Lar cried everybody hears" prove to be true or rather because the fifty seven member strong OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation منظمة التعاون الإسلامي;) backed by the petro dollars has its say? Whatever the rai·son d'ê·tre we are residing in the 21st century where business always overrules the conscience and at least the Western media have highlighted only now, a microcosm of the last half a century of ethnic cleansing. How will the world react? Will it indirectly shore up the dictatorial Tatmadaw regime by blaming the pro-democracy group led by Daw Suu Kyi, knowing full well that there are two governments and that the army is calling all the shorts as simplified by Kofi Annan Commission.
Or will the international community able to differentiate the bad Myanmar from the good ones and following the sensational news will tantamount to giving much needed ammunition to the bad Myanmar led by Tatmadaw and making things worse. The more, the international community heap the blame on the civilian government of Burma led by Daw Suu, the more the happier will be the Tatmadaw whose generals are itching to take back power as it had done for more than half a century. If this episode ended in this scenario, Burma will be forced to lean back on the dictatorial countries like Russia and China and obviously democracy and human rights will take a back seat in this this last frontier. If so the Western world will soon witness that not only South China Sea but also the Indian Ocean becoming the Chinese lake which can soon encompass the world with its One Belt One Road initiative. If so let us start greeting each other Ni How Mar (你好吗) instead of our usual salutations of 'how do you do'?
Any average man glimpsing back to Burma may realize that the Tatmadaw has completely ruled and ruined the country since its military coup in 1962 to date, more than half a century taking the country to the least developed status, and is still power hungry and have grudgingly handed some power back to the civilian administration only when its proxy the USDP (Union Solidarity and Democratic Party) lost overwhelming. But, what the world didn't knew was these ex-brass party was the same party that orchestrated the attempted murder of Aung San Suu Kyi herself at Depaeyin way back in May 2003 and when it failed, it mechanized a Muslim incident to initiate the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya. Of course this thuggish party were able to exploit and organized the Buddhist zealot like U Wirathu (Burma's Bin-laden funded and advice by the Tatmadaw had labelled the UN special Rapporteur Yanhee lee as a bitch) organizing the poor and uneducated local Arakanese and exploiting the religious fever. Even now they are organizing the local people not to accept back the Rohingya refugees.
Care must be taken that the international community must not underestimate the Myanmar Tatmadaw think tank who in their vain attempt to rule the country in perpetuity had deliberately targeted the universities and higher institutions, so as the upcoming brains may not get the required education while on the other hand encouraging its military academies for the young vipers to rule the country often sending their offspring to study the latest technology abroad. Hence Burma, became the only country in the world that did not hark back to democracy when all the Afro-Asian countries changed back to democracy after a few decades of military rule. Even now it has able to install the 2008 Nargis Constitution after a fraudulent referendum and manipulated elections in 2011, and the international community had easily acquiesce by recognizing it as the Union of Myanmar instead of the Union of Burma indirectly encouraging that ethnic cleansing of the Myanmar over the Non Myanmar ethnic nationalities (including Rohingya) proving beyond doubt that dictators can change the fair name of the country without the consensus of the people. So the simple logic is why the hue and cry over ethnic cleansing only now?
Lamentably, we discovered that many countries does not have a Burma Desk in their foreign ministry and have little or no knowledge except that it is a good place for exploiting its natural and human resources which is just opening up. Hence, when this problem rose up they did not know how to react except to base its conclusion on the corporate's sensational news and unwittingly making it worst. The world need to study the making of modern Burma to know the psyche and the rationale of the Myanmar Tatmadaw and its long history of ethnic cleansing before finding a solution.
The architect of modern Burma Aung San (father of the lady) had laid down the federal type of administration fore seeing that only the amalgamation of different independent states under the British colonial empire will make modern Burma. But he was assassinated by Tatmadaw proxy who even attempted to delete his name during the Junta days eventually taking the country to the Least Developed Status.
It is also a fact that the Rohingya (original name Mujahid) were pardoned when they attempted to take the northern Arakan to join the then East Pakistan and legal recognized by the Burmese government. But, they not only refused to speak the lingua franca and insisted on practicing polygamy in proselytization, refusing to honour the flag and the national anthem of the country couple with their allegiance to Pakistan, compelling the Myanmar Tatmadaw to embark on this ethnic cleansing by the ever marauding Myanmar Tatmadaw. Not only must the Tatmadaw be ostracized but their economic conglomerate must be targeted, whose crony capitalism in the country have prevented the well-being of the populace and prevented democracy from taking its roots.
One object is very sure as long as Myanmar Tatmadaw is not replaced by the Union army composed of all the ethnic nationalities as in the British had done, this rapist Myanmar Tatmadaw will continue the ethnic cleansing of the more numerous indigenous non Myanmar will go on forever. It is time for the UNSC and the international community should teach how to live in this civilized world and the Trump administration could begin by appointing the Asian Pacific Secretary to tackle it properly.
