The couple behind the San Bernardino attack that killed 14 people were radicalised before they started dating, the director of the FBI has said.
James Comey said Tashfeen Malik and husband Syed Farook spoke of jihad and martyrdom during conversations on an online dating service in late 2013.
The FBI believes the duo were inspired by foreign terrorist organisations, but said the investigation is ongoing.
Last week's massacre was the deadliest terrorist attack in the US since 9/11.
The couple were both killed in a shoot-out with police hours after the attack.
Speaking during a Senate hearing in Washington, Mr Comey characterised the couple as "homegrown violent extremists", and said that precise nature of the foreign influence is still under investigation.
Earlier this week, another FBI official said that there was no evidence uncovered so far to suggest the attack was plotted overseas.
Mr Comey said the investigation "indicates that they were actually radicalised before they started courting or dating each other online, and noted discussions they had about jihad before their engagement last year. Malik moved to the US in July 2014 on a visa designed for fiances, and married Farook - a US national - a month later.
The BBC's Jane O'Brien in Washington says the revelation is significant, as it contradicts earlier suggestions that Malik may have radicalised her husband.
Meanwhile, the investigation has broadened to examine anybody who may have been "involved with assisting them, with supporting them, with equipping them," the director said.
Over the weekend, police raided the home of Enrique Marquez, a long-time friend and distant relative of Farook who purchased the two large weapons used during the rampage.
Mr Marquez is being questioned by federal investigators. Media reports say that authorities had trouble finding him after the attack, but later found that he had checked into a mental health facility.
Mr Comey was also chided for not securing the couple's home, which allowed journalists to enter and produce reports from inside. The ethics of that reporting was widely debated.

What with my recent globetrotting I've fallen behind with my updating on the world of In My Mug, I'm so sorry folks! 3 episode since I last posted and all in the exciting new format! Let me know what you think of the new look of IMM?


Superstar, Wizkid's son, Zion had a lavish birthday party to celebrate his first birthday. Most importantly, he had Daddy and Mummy by his side for the day!
Wizkid's son, Zion turned a year older recently and he was thrown a Mickey mouse themed birthday party which was attended by friends and loved ones.


While some in Washington have rejected the idea of mass deportation, the President has continued to defer his decision for undocumented immigrants until after the border is secured. Should the President continue this trend of fulfilling campaign promises by implementing a mass-deportation styled immigration crackdown, it would surely spell disaster. One issue that should raise concerns across ideological-lines, is the impact that mass deportations would have on the domestic agricultural economy of the United States.


I'm a pretty easy going person and I don't let a lot bother me. But I do have some social media pet peeves. Who doesn't?
The new Facebook changes. Hate them. Now, I know it's a free service and they can do what they want and at least there's a work around if you hate the new news feed but I am getting close to jumping ship. Google+ is looking mighty good right now. If I could just get all of my Facebook contacts over there.
Had to get that off my chest. What I really wanted to talk about were things the people who use social media do that annoy me.
1. InkCanada – ignore this one, it doesn't apply to you. If you're inviting me to an in person Facebook event make sure I'm at least in the same province as the event. You can imagine how ridiculous it is to be invited to something that isn't in my province but I get ones that aren't even in my country.
2. Friends who turn off their wall functionality.
3. A gazillion posts a day, every day, promoting your book. Keep it up and I will unfriend you.
4. Protecting your tweets. If you don't want people reading your tweets send an email. I won't request to follow you.
5. Using a service to verify I'm a person. I won't click on that link either.
6. People who aren't celebrities who have hundreds (or thousands) of followers and only follow a select group. If you have 4000+ followers and you only follow 100+ who do you think you are? I won't follow you.
7. People who aren't celebrities who don't @ reply if you tweet them. I'm lucky that most of the people I tweet to do reply.
8. People who use a service to find people to follow and then auto unfollows them if you haven't followed them back in X number of days. People are busy. They have lives, families, vacations, work. Sometimes it's not possible to follow you back within three days. I don't follow back until at least the fourth or fifth day to weed these ones out.
9. People who follow just to get followers. You know the ones. If you don't follow them back they unfollow you. FYI, not everyone is going to follow you back.
10. People who aren't celebrities who don't follow you back. It's just good Twitter karma to follow back. There are ways to filter tweets, mute people, if you get too many tweets in your stream.

I'm over at FF&P guest blogging today about learning a thing or two from the movies. Stop by and say hi: Link to FF&P.
I'm guest blogging over at Magical Musings today talking loglines. Stop by and say hi.
Don't judge a book by its cover. Clichéd, yes, but so true. Now that my Daphne books are here I finally had a chance to start reading them last weekend. I can't tell you what category I'm judging or what books. But I can tell you that the first one I read I thought was going to be – let's be nice here – not that great. And I thought that because of the cover. I saw the cover and cringed. Yes, actually cringed. I thought about reading it last. Don't you always leave the hardest task until the end? But it was a relatively short book so I decided to try it first. Guess what? Read it in one day! Yep, one day. Not even a full day since I woke up late (some time after noon). What can I say? I needed to catch up on sleep apparently.
So, does this mean we shouldn't judge a movie by its trailer? That would be a big fat yes. How many times have you seen an awesome trailer, gone to see the movie and felt cheated? Too many times to count for me. There are still movies I'm bitter about wasting hours of my life I'll never get back. Insomnia and 30 Days of Night, for example. But I will keep going to movies with amazing trailers because every once in a while the movie is actually better than the trailer. I'm hoping that will be the case for a few movies coming up that I can't wait to see. Star Trek, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
And here's another old saying. Thank God it's Friday. Man did it take forever getting here. No movies for me this weekend though. Have to finish those Daphne books.
I've been a very bad blogger. I haven't been around much lately. I've been pouting. Wallowing. The usual stuff you do when you get a rejection on a complete. On the plus side the editor at Harlequin gave me a very detailed rejection letter about what they liked and didn't like. At least I know I have the right amount of sensuality for a Blaze. So I'll be able to do that in another book. And knowing what was wrong with this book will (hopefully) mean that I don't do those things in the next one.
Right now though I think I'm going stay away from the straight romance novels and work on the mainstream. There's absolutely no romance in Simon Says. But as an author at our March TRW meeting pointed out, that doesn't mean there's no emotion. So I have to go back and put in more of that.
Right now it's late so I'm going to bed.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I've been slacking in the blogging department lately. But in the new year I should be posting more regularly.
I hope everyone got what they wanted and spent the holiday with friends and family.
May the New Year bring joy and publishing contracts.

World Humanitarian Day (WHD) raises awareness on the living conditions of the millions of civilians suffering from violence in conflict areas. It is also an opportunity to pay tribute to humanitarian volunteers and workers who risk their life every day to help people in distress.
Since 2008, the United Nations celebrate World Humanitarian Day on 19 August. This date was chosen in memory of UN personnel who had died in the attack against the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq in 2003.
This year, on Friday 19 August 2017, World Humanitarian Day is dedicated to the protection of civilians in conflict zones. Civilians are always the first victims of war. And the humanitarian and medical workers who assist them are more and more targeted by terrorists or fighters. Unfortunately, attacks against hospitals have become regular. On 3 August for instance, a medical center of the Red Cross has been targeted by an attack, in the Central African Republic. Six volunteers died, among other civilian victims.
The UN and its humanitarian agency OCHA have denounced an alarming situation and call for action. A new website was launched to present a list of the different humanitarian emergencies (sexual violence, displaced population, attacks on volunteers, etc) in regions in conflict. It also suggests relevant actions to be taken by leaders of these areas in order to protect civilians.
On social media, the campaign #NotATarget, launched by OCHA for WHD, recalls that civilians and humanitarians are not targets. On Friday, Facebook will set up a dedicated filter in order to spread the call for solidarity throughout the world. On Twitter, the hashtag #NotATarget is already used to reference the UN key messages for World Humanitarian Day.


Printer Gatherer exists to provide one-of-a-kind, excellently crafted letterpressed goods. We specialize in custom invitations, save the dates, business collateral, stationery, correspondence, and more. Each project is designed from scratch, just for you, and is never recreated for someone else.
Printer Gatherer Founder Emily Striffler grew up experimenting with mixed media. Being the daughter of an artist and an engineer, she was encouraged to test the boundaries of her imagination, and the environment around her. This ultimately led Emily to begin collegiate studies in Architecture at Virginia Tech in 2003. From there, her passion for creating beautiful objects and spaces took off.
Emily first discovered her love for the art of letterpress during her formative years while studying abroad throughout Europe. Once back in the states, she sought out a press of her own and ultimately found an old style Chandler & Price platen press to call her own. In 2008, Emily completed her architectural degree and thesis - by no coincidence her thesis was the design of a letterpress shop - and after graduation, she embarked on her design career in architecture… but letterpress was never far from reach.
Emily attributes her infatuation with large machinery, craftsmanship, and gardening to her maternal grandfather, Andrew, and her continual love of books and the printed word to her paternal grandfather, Charles.
Currently, Emily and her devoted husband, Brett, reside in the Forest Hill neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia with their lovable Newfoundland Dog, Pilot.
Because the shop is currently located at a private residence, Shop Hours are available on an as-needed basis, by appointment only.
+ What press do you use?
Each piece of paper is hand fed into an old style 8x10 Chandler & Price platen. This particular press was modified at some point in its past life and is no longer able to be used with a treadle, so we run it using a small motor and belt.
+ Do you use wood/lead type?
Typically, no. Wood type is becoming increasingly rare, and very expensive to acquire. Almost all of the jobs printed by Printer Gatherer are made possible by the use of polymer plates. This modern technology allows digitally designed artwork to be printed by a letterpress. There is a limited supply of wood and lead type in the shop, so if you're interested in utilizing it for a project you have in mind, get in touch.
+ Can I see a physical proof instead of a digital proof?
The short answer is, no. The long answer is… once your plates are ordered, and the job is set up on the press, it's too late to make changes. Check your digital proofs carefully before signing off.
+ What sizes can you print?
The maximum printed area is approximately 6"x9". Maximum recommended sheet size that can be fed into the press is approximately 11x17".
+ Can you tell me more about the ink you use?
We carry a full line of pantone inks and will hand mix your ink in the shop. If you have a particular color in mind we will match your ink to an uncoated pantone swatch number. Because we are only able to print on uncoated stock, we cannot match coated pantone colors.
Letterpress ink is inherently transparent, which creates that beautiful layering effect you've seen before. For this reason, it is very difficult to print light inks on dark paper. We can do it, sure, but the effect is much more subtle than you might think.
The exception to that statement is metallic ink. We carry silver, gold, and copper ink, and because they are more opaque, they can be successfully printed on dark paper stock. The effect is not shiny, though, and is much more dull than you might expect. If you require metallic sheen on your design, we recommend proceeding with a gold foil process instead of letterpress.
+ What is a blind impression?
It's the same thing as printing a color, except without any ink. The plate is pressed into the paper and crushes the fibers without leaving anything behind. We recommend using blind impression on thicker stock papers, where the impression can be deeper and more defined.
Even though it's printing without ink, yes. A blind impression still requires its own plate, all the same setup and registration, and for each piece to be hand fed into the press.
+ How many colors can you print?
Letterpress printing happens one color at a time. Most jobs we produce are 1 or 2 colors, and occasionally, 3 colors. If a design requires more than 3 colors, it can become very cost prohibitive.
+ What brand/weight/type/color/etc. of paper do you use?
The house stock is 110# Crane Lettra, made from 100% cotton especially for letterpress. We also offer 220# Crane Lettra for jobs that require thicker paper. Both weights are available in Fluorescent White, Pearl White, and Ecru. We also keep a healthy supply of chip board in stock.
We are able to print on a wide variety of uncoated papers, in varying weights, colors, and sizes. It is not possible to print on coated papers or materials.
If you have something custom in mind, let us know and we can help you pick the right stock!
If your design requires printing on both sides, we advise using 220# lettra to prevent impressions from showing through on each side. Duplexing is available for an additional charge, on a custom basis.
+ What is the custom design process like?
Letterpress takes thought and time to develop so we recommend allowing as much time as possible to work through the design and printing process.
A typical wedding suite can take 8-12 weeks from start to finish. We usually only take 6-10 wedding clients per year.
+ Do you do production printing?
Although we typically provide full service design with our letterpress work, We do occasionally provide production printing, as time and scheduling allows. If you already have artwork prepared and need letterpress items, get in touch and let us know your time constraints.

Aurora Castillo Escalona, Persistencia histórico-cultural. San Miguel Tolimán, Querétaro, Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, 2000.
Publicado el julio 30, 2009 por MUNTZEL MARTHA C.septiembre 2, 2011
The content of Persistencia histórico-cultural. San Miguel Tolimán is very useful both for students and for specialists of the Otomi culture and the regional history. Apart from providing a bibliographic review of theoretical and methodological works, documentary sources and other related studies, it takes into consideration oral tradition and symbolic analysis, which together serve to orientate future studies and to widen our knowledge on the Otomi group.
The book is made up by an introduction, six chapters and a conclusion; in the same way, it has a wide bibliography that includes theoretical and descriptive studies and documentary sources from the Archivo General de la Nación (AGN), apart from maps, plans, charts and attractive photographs that make up the 390 pages.
The first chapter, "The central theoretical categories", presents various theoretical views for the study of regional history, relating history and physical geography with human geography; that is, the relationship between time and space from the point of view of social sciences. It mentions the importance of oral history as an element of cultural continuation, providing tangible data of a personal and social value, that allow to bridge the gap between the theoretical and the study community. Oral history relates the everyday social world of the community to the study of history, by giving it, in the words of Aurora Castillo, a more human sense. It also discusses reflections around the concepts of "culture", "ethnic identity" and the religious world, in order to analyze the system of offices and the transformations that have appeared in the Otomi society of Tolimán.
It notes "that even if they have modified the structure and functions of the festivals, the dances and the offices, they have not disturbed the ideology and the weltanschauung of the Otomi, which are kept alive, even if changes are performed through processes of adaptation and adoption." (p. 84)
The weltanschauung of the Otomi people is expressed by means of functions, symbols and objects present in the cycle of festivals, in which all the members of the community intervene with the performance of some office at some stage of their lives. Besides, the rules and the division of functions during religious festivals of San Miguel's system of offices are clearly seen (p. 85).
Aurora Castillo says that "the system of offices is the analysis category that allowed her to organize the information gathered on facts, ideas, objects and sites, in order to interpret the functioning of the religious life of the Otomi people from Tolimán, and to point out its relation towards other sectors of society as a whole". She uses ethnographic description as a base for the interpretation of the culture according to the symbology contained in the system of offices.
In the second chapter, "Historic frame", the history of the Otopame is outlined starting before the Conquest. She talks about the founding of Tolimán, the Colonial institutions such as the encomienda, the tribute, the evangelization, the congregation of the indigenous peoples, the repartimiento (the mandatory recruitment of men and women as workforce), the ownership of the land and the hacienda. This chapter also deals with the economy (agriculture and herdsmen, and manufactures), the political and social organization from a historic view.
The third chapter, "Territory and economic organization", deals with the relationship between geography, society and culture , given that in each culture there is a balance between the general geographic conditions and the group within them. It gives us the geographic characteristics of the region: the orographic frame (the geologic structure and the ecologic areas), physiographic frame (for instance, types of soils), the hydrography (the waters), the territorial conformation of the Municipality of Tolimán, its neighborhoods and roads and how the territorial organization is an identity factor. She also refers to the settlement pattern and the form of residency (p. 185). Here she links the geographic and territorial situation, and the economic organization and commercial activities, because these activities are performed during the patronal festivals in which there is the simultaneous accomplishment of religious, social, political, economical and ludic functions.
The fourth chapter, "The population of San Miguel Tolimán", presents the linguistic profile, the demographic population of Tolimán's Otomi group, its daily life, the family and cultural reproduction, the social structure of the offspring, the life cycle (birth, marriage and death), and the outfits. She explains the link of the family with the economic organization, describing work organization and how migration encourages change processes, whereas the belonging to the ethnic group is an equilibrium factor.
In the fifth chapter, "Cultural continuation", she performs the symbolic and ritual analysis of some components of cultural continuation; she analyzes sacred symbols such as the Chimal which are offered by the Otomies during the festival devoted to the patron Saint Michael the Archangel (symbol of the unification between the faithful and divinity), and the four cardinal points (or four cosmic directions linked with nature: wind, fire, running water and falling water). Through these symbols, they ensure a full circle of material and spiritual protection. The turtle or xaha in Otomi -religious symbol of aquatic origin-, is the provider of water and, therefore, of food: fruits and grains.
She deals with sacred spaces and places such as the Zamorano, Calvario, Cantón and Frontón hills, and the Tolimán and San Pablo rivers with their branches- the natural sacred sites for the Otomis are hills, rivers, springs and pools-. Other sacred sites built by men with religious purposes are the Otomi chapels. In this chapter, the sacred symbols and the rituals related to them are analyzed, in order to place the meaning of the symbols within the analysis of the system of offices.
Finally, in the sixth chapter, "The cargueros of San Miguelito", a detailed analysis is performed of the system of offices; its social structure, the dance groups and the Xitales. They represent the fight between the man and the bull; a group of masked men transform themselves into old men, demons or animals, and they teach the children the dances they will have to represent during the festivals, apart from imposing order and discipline among the dancers.
After analyzing the role and the importance of the various participants -the prayerful people, the musicians and the dancers, and their functions-, she analyzes the context of the festivals and their relation towards the agricultural cycle and the system of offices.
I have yet to describe more than half of the sixth chapter, but I will stop at this point. Through this brief review we can see how interesting and complete Persistencia histórico-cultural. San Miguel Tolimán, from Aurora Castillo Escalona is. It promises to be a reference work of great value due to the huge amount of data and analysis it contains; it is a jewel for those who study the Otopame group and regional history.

Take care of yourself. The life you live is intense. Your peaks and valleys are extreme. At times, it seems like you'll never stop living in the valley. Then suddenly, things ease up. You wonder, Will this last? If I celebrate peace, will I jinx things?
Friend, how stressful it is to go from one extreme to another. Long term stress, or chronic stress, is not a good thing.
That may seem a trite question but the ramifications are far-reaching. Recently, chronic stress has been linked to Alzheimer's Disease.
As a special need parent, this is sobering on many levels. There aren't many things within your control, but there is one: how you react to your situation. Friend, it might make a great difference in the long run.
How you react to the valleys, peaks, constant changes and all the unknowns in your life as a special needs parent will make a critical difference now, but also 20, 30, 40+ years from now.
Think of all the thoughts that float through your mind throughout the day.
Should I be jotting down my observations for the doctor?
How will my child do out in their world today?
Who can I call to check on my child? Or should I be calling?
How will I present my child to the world today via clothes, shoes, cleanliness, etc?
How are my other children?
Do I have too much on my plate?
Have I focused too much on my special needs child?
How is my child's medical condition?
How am I communicating with the schools?
When do I set up guardianship?
What does my child do after high school?
What happens to my child after I am gone?
This just scratches the surface. No wonder you're stressed.
Yet it is in how you cope with these thoughts and decisions and all the many changes in your life, that ultimately makes the difference. Here are some suggestions.
You don't need a gym membership. You don't need special equipment. You don't need a lot of time. But you DO need to start something, now.
Go for a walk. Take your child with you.
Jump around in your den.
Put on a yoga dvd.
Whatever is keeping you up at night, change it.
Go to bed earlier. Eight hours is a good goal, and less is undesirable. Remember, your life is intense.
Make your sleeping environment dark and comfortable.
Cut out sweets, caffeine, and electronic devices a couple hours before you sleep.
Eat your last meal several hours before you go to bed.
Get in a routine to help your body wind down and know it's time for sleep.
Different from rest, but equally important.
Put yourself in another world for at least ten minutes.
Get outside your own world and bless someone else. Your life is a challenge, but others have different challenges. Write a note. Bake a cake. Have coffee with someone who needs to get out. You'll bring them joy, but the joy you will experience will be soul-deep.
A good belly laugh is good for your spirit, and good for you physically. Laugh with people, laugh with books, or find a good television show that consistently makes you laugh.
Gather with friends and family. Challenging sometimes, but the people we love, love our special ones and all their idiosyncrasies. You need these people. You need this time. Don't avoid fellowship.
God loves you. Explore the Bible and find out how deep His love is.
Spend time praying. Prayer is a two-way conversation between you and God. Remember to just be still and listen after you've poured out your heart to Him.
If it seems that you don't have time to sit with God, you are wrong. This is the one thing that will get you through the stress of everyday life, the intensity of special needs parenting, and the crucial decisions you must make for your child. Take heart: God will lead you. Even better, God will love you unconditionally as you make mistakes, as you succeed, as you fumble your way along. No matter what you do, if you put your faith in Jesus, He will never leave you.
Dear friends, embracing stress is not a good way to live. Let's embrace a better way to live within the boundaries of special needs parenting. Let's be happy, loving people who happen to walk a difficult path. We can do this with God.
This is great advice! I'm going to share it with my friends that are special needs parents. Thank you for this post!
Such truth and wisdom here and what I teach my clients as well! Love this and so thrilled to share all over as it comes from one who knows and understands. Well done, my friend!
I sometimes wish the like button had a heart button too.
It's funny, because I was talking to a friend just yesterday, having coffee together – she's a great listener – and our conversation wandered towards "me taking care of me". I love your ideas. I already do most of it, but it's still not enough.


Sometime's family is best left far away.
A, 54-year-old Aunt, sued her then 8 year-old nephew after he leaped into "Auntie Jen's" arm to say hello and knocked her down.
Sean Tarala, excited to see his Aunt at his birthday party, rushed over to Auntie and caused her to allegedly break her wrist.
Jennifer Connell, a resources manager from New York, claimed the now 12-year old, acted unreasonably. She also added that he should be accountable for his behavior and is asking for $127,000 in damages.
Connell also told the judge that the injury has had a massive impact on her daily life.
The boy's mother, Lisa Tarala, died last year. The boy's father was with him Friday for proceedings at Connecticut Superior Court in Bridgeport.
After deliberating for 20 minutes on Tuesday, a Superior Court jury in Bridgeport, Connecticut found that Jennifer Connell is not entitled to any damages in her lawsuit against her 12-year-old nephew, Sean Tarala.

Violence and Gender in Dashiell Hammett's Short Stories
Maysaa Jaber
Psychological Research Center
University of Baghdad
Baghdad – Iraq
This paper is interested in interrogating how Dashiell Hammett's (1894 – 1961) use of the short story is interconnected with the gender scheme in his work on the one hand, and the representation of violence, on the other. It argues that although Hammett is known as the author of The Maltese Falcon (1930) The Glass Key (1931), his short stories show best his themes of gangsterism, the urbanization of the American city, and more importantly his interest in female criminals who work on a par with the male detectives. The paper aims to demonstrate that Hammett consistently relied on the short story to create his hardboiled world where the gender dynamics, encapsulated in detectives threatened by the dangerous sexuality of female characters, is intrinsically tied to the violence that pervades his texts. This paper also argues that Hammett utilized the characteristics of the short story (for example, brevity, and economy of the description) to deconstruct the formula of the classical detective story to create a "hardboiled" formula which establishes an underworld of violence and lawlessness, and proffers a character study of the criminal himself or herself. Hammett's short fiction can thus be considered as a thread that leads to see his writing as a platform that portrays the complex intertwined discourses of criminality, power, and gender roles.

Mid-1996-October 2001: Ariana Airlines Becomes Transport Arm of Al-Qaeda and Taliban
In 1996, al-Qaeda assumes control of Ariana Airlines, Afghanistan's national airline, for use in its illegal trade network. Passenger flights become few and erratic, as planes are used to fly drugs, weapons, gold, and personnel, primarily between Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Pakistan. The Emirate of Sharjah, in the UAE, becomes a hub for al-Qaeda drug and arms smuggling. Typically, "large quantities of drugs" are flown from Kandahar, Afghanistan, to Sharjah, and large quantities of weapons are flown back to Afghanistan. [Los Angeles Times, 11/18/2001] About three to four flights run the route each day. Many weapons come from Victor Bout, a notorious Russian arms dealer based in Sharjah. [Los Angeles Times, 1/20/2002] Afghan taxes on opium production are paid in gold, and then the gold bullion is flown to Dubai, UAE, and laundered into cash. [Washington Post, 2/17/2002] Taliban officials regularly provide militants with false papers identifying them as Ariana Airlines employees so they can move freely around the world. For instance, one flight on a Ariana small plane in 2000 lists 33 crew members. A former National Security Council official later claims the US is well aware at the time that al-Qaeda agents regularly fly on Ariana Airlines. (However, US intelligence will not learn of the widespread use of forged Ariana IDs until after 9/11.) The CIA learns of Bout's connection to Ariana and the Taliban in 1998, but takes no action (see 1998). The US presses the UAE for tighter banking controls, but moves "delicately, not wanting to offend an ally in an already complicated relationship," and little changes by 9/11. [Los Angeles Times, 11/18/2001; Farah and Braun, 2007, pp. 139] Much of the money for the 9/11 hijackers flows though these Sharjah, UAE, channels. There also are reports suggesting that Ariana Airlines might have been used to train Islamic militants as pilots. The illegal use of Ariana Airlines helps convince the United Nations to impose sanctions against Afghanistan in 1999, but the sanctions lack teeth and do not stop the airline. A second round of sanctions finally stops foreign Ariana Airlines flights, but its charter flights and other charter services keep the illegal network running. [Los Angeles Times, 11/18/2001] About nine of the 9/11 hijackers work at the Kandahar airport in 2000, which is Ariana's main hub (see Summer 2000).

August 20, 1998-1999: US Pressure on Persian Gulf Governments Fails to Impact Funding of Al-Qaeda
On August 20, 1998, President Clinton signs an Executive Order imposing sanctions against bin Laden and al-Qaeda. The order gives US officials the power to block accounts and impose sanctions on any government, organization, or person providing "material assistance" to al-Qaeda. Beginning in 1999, mid-level US officials travel to Saudi Arabia and a number of Persian Gulf countries seeking information about charities supporting al-Qaeda and attempting to put pressure of governments allowing such charities to operate (see June 1999). But these governments provide little to no assistance. The New York Times claims that by the end of 1999, "with the [US] embassy bombings receding into memory, the [Clinton] administration largely moved on. 'These visits were not followed up by senior-level intervention by the State Department, or for that matter by Treasury, to those governments,' [says] Stuart Eizenstadt, a Treasury official and a participant in the trips. 'I think that was interpreted by those governments as meaning this was not the highest priority.'" William Wechsler, one US official involved in these efforts, will later claim, "We had only marginal successes." He will cite the United Arab Emirates imposing money laundering laws for the first time in 1999 and efforts to ban flights by Ariana, the Afghan national airline (see November 14, 1999; January 19, 2001), as the main successes. Counterterrorism "tsar" Richard Clarke later notes that the Saudis promised information and support, but in the end gave little of either. He will claim that they "protested our focus on continuing contacts between Osama and his wealthy, influential family, who were supposed to have broken all ties with him years before. 'How can we tell a mother not to call her son?' they asked." The New York Times concludes that by 9/11, "the assault on al-Qaeda's finances had largely fallen by the wayside."

November 14, 1999: Limited UN Sanctions on Afghanistan
United Nations sanctions against Afghanistan take effect. The sanctions freeze Taliban assets and impose an air embargo on Ariana Airlines in an effort to force the Taliban to hand over bin Laden. [BBC, 2/6/2000] It had been widely reported that Ariana had become a transportation arm for al-Qaeda (see Mid-1996-October 2001). However, Ariana will keep its illegal trade network flying, until stricter sanctions will ground it in 2001 (see January 19, 2001).

January 19, 2001: UN Sanctions on Taliban Do Not Stop Illegal Trade Network
New United Nations sanctions against Afghanistan take effect, adding to those from November 1999 (see November 14, 1999). The sanctions limit travel by senior Taliban authorities, freeze bin Laden's and the Taliban's assets, and order the closure of Ariana Airlines offices abroad. The sanctions also impose an arms embargo against the Taliban, but not against Northern Alliance forces battling the Taliban. [Associated Press, 12/19/2000] The arms embargo has no visible effect because the sanctions fail to stop Pakistani military assistance. [9/11 Commission, 3/24/2004] The sanctions also fail to stop the illegal trade network that the Taliban is secretly running through Ariana. Two companies, Air Cess and Flying Dolphin, take over most of Ariana's traffic. Air Cess is owned by the Russian arms dealer Victor Bout (see Mid-1996-October 2001), and Flying Dolphin is owned by the United Arab Emirates' former ambassador to the US, who is also an associate of Bout. In late 2000, despite reports linking Flying Dolphin to arms smuggling, the United Nations will give Flying Dolphin permission to take over Ariana's closed routes, which it does until the new sanctions take effect. Bout's operations are still functioning and he has not been arrested. [Los Angeles Times, 1/20/2002; Gazette (Montreal), 2/5/2002] Ariana will essentially be destroyed in the October 2001 US bombing of Afghanistan. [Los Angeles Times, 11/18/2001]

March 7, 2001: Russia Submits Report on Bin Laden to UN Security Council, US Fails to Act on It
The Russian Permanent Mission at the United Nations secretly submits "an unprecedentedly detailed report" to the UN Security Council about bin Laden, his whereabouts, details of his al-Qaeda network, Afghan drug running, and Taliban connections to Pakistan and the ISI. The report provides "a listing of all bin Laden's bases, his government contacts and foreign advisers," and enough information to potentially locate and kill him. It is said to contain an "astonishing degree of information." The US fails to use the information in any noticable manner. Alex Standish, the editor of the highly respected Jane's Intelligence Review, concludes that the attacks of 9/11 were less of an American intelligence failure than the result of "a political decision not to act against bin Laden." [Jane's Intelligence Review, 10/5/2001; Times of India, 10/8/2001] In May 2002, Jane's will further comment,"it is becoming clear that this was only the most high profile of a number of attempts by the Russians to alert the US and other members of the Security Council to the extent of the inter-dependence between the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and the ISI. According to [our] Russian sources, there was a regular flow of information from Moscow to the US dating back to the last years of the Clinton presidency. It seems apparent, however, that although this intelligence was being received by the CIA and other US agencies, there was a distinct lack of enthusiasm within political - as opposed to military - circles for the launch of pre-emptive strikes against either the Taliban or al-Qaeda. However, given the detailed intelligence being provided by the Russians - and the fact that bin Laden was making very clear threats to launch further strikes against US targets - it seems bizarre, to say the least, that no high-level political decision was taken to focus US intelligence efforts on al-Qaeda and its international network…" [Jane's Intelligence Digest, 5/28/2002]

Summer 2001: Human Rights Report Details ISI's Massive Support to Taliban
According to a July 2001 report from Human Rights Watch, the ISI has been "bankrolling Taliban military operations… arranging training for its fighters, planning and directing offensives, providing and facilitating shipments of ammunition and fuel, and on several occasions apparently directly providing combat support." [Slate, 10/9/2001] The report further states that Pakistan's assistance "include[s] soliciting funding for the Taliban, bankrolling Taliban operations, providing diplomatic support as the Taliban's virtual emissaries abroad, arranging training for Taliban fighters, recruiting skilled and unskilled manpower to serve in Taliban armies… In April and May 2001 Human Rights Watch sources reported that as many as thirty trucks a day were crossing the Pakistan border; sources inside Afghanistan reported that some of these convoys were carrying artillery shells, tank rounds, and rocket-propelled grenades. Such deliveries are in direct violation of UN sanctions.… Pakistan's army and intelligence services, principally the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI), contribute to making the Taliban a highly effective military force. While these Pakistani agencies do not direct the policies of the [Taliban's army], senior Pakistani military and intelligence officers help plan and execute major military operations. A retired senior Pakistani military officer claimed in an interview with Human Rights Watch that up to 30 percent of Taliban fighting strength is made up of Pakistanis serving in units organized by [Pakistani] political parties."

June 13, 2001: Extensive ISI Support for Taliban Continues
Arnaud de Borchgrave. [Source: Publicity photo]United Press International (UPI) reporter Arnaud de Borchgrave interviews top Taliban leader Mullah Omar in Afghanistan on June 13, 2001. The next day, in an article about the interview, de Borchgrave writes, "Saudi Arabia and the [United Arab Emirates] secretly fund the Taliban government by paying Pakistan for its logistical support to Afghanistan. Despite Pakistan's official denials, the Taliban is entirely dependent on Pakistani aid. This was verified on the ground by UPI. Everything from bottled water to oil, gasoline and aviation fuel, and from telephone equipment to military supplies, comes from Pakistan."

August 20, 2001: Pakistani President Musharraf Denounces UN Sanctions against Taliban
Both Russia and France have recently presented intelligence to the United Nations Security Council documenting that Pakistan is continuing to heavily support the Taliban (see March 7, 2001), in direct violation of UN sanctions (see January 19, 2001). Up to 30 ISI trucks a day are crossing into Afghanistan (see June 13, 2001 and Summer 2001). But on August 20, 2001, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf openly condemns the UN sanctions, saying: "The Taliban are the dominant reality in Afghanistan.… The unilateral arms embargo on the Taliban is unjustified, discriminatory, and will further escalate the war [between the Taliban and the Northern Alliance]."

November 2, 2011: Arms Supplier Victor Bout Guilty of Colombian Rebel Group Deal
Victor Bout during his trial. [Source: Agence France-Presse]Victor Bout is found guilty on conspiracy charges to kill US citizens and officials, deliver anti-aircraft missiles, and provide aid to a terrorist organization (see September 1992, 1993-1995, Mid-1996-October 2001, October 1996-Late 2001, 1998, 1998, January 1998-April 2001, 1999, Early 2001-September 11, 2001, January 19, 2001, Shortly After September 11, 2001, Late February 2002, Summer 2002, Late April 2003, Late April 2003-2007, August 17, 2003, July 2006, Late July 2006, March 6, 2008, and November 16, 2010). In the the trial, which began on October 12, Bout was accused of agreeing to deliver 100 surface-to-air missiles, 20,000 high-powered weapons, and 10 million rounds of ammunition to rebels in Colombia sometime in 2008. Bout will be sentenced on February 8, 2012. The BBC's Laura Trevelyan will note: "This was a potentially risky case for the US government. Bout was caught in a sting operation by informants working for the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the so-called Farc rebels were actually former criminals and might have had their evidence discredited."

Summer officially kicked off over the weekend and Minneapolis-based five-piece Bora York's single "Let Loose" couldn't be more appropriate for the occasion. As a fellow Midwesterner, the lines "never say never, when we've been waiting forever, forever to let loose", couldn't ring more true than after surviving an especially a bruising winter. The breezy cut gleams with Rebekah Bartels soaring vocals, paced guitar riffs and laid back percussion. Stream "Let Loose" below and purchase at iTunes.


MK who left Yisrael Beytenu names her party Gesher, the name of the party her father founded when he left the Likud.
MK Orly Levy-Abekasis announced on Tuesday night that the name of the party she is currently establishing will be Gesher (the Hebrew word for bridge -ed.), the same name of the party her father, former minister David Levy, founded in the 1990s after he left the Likud.
Levy, who left the Yisrael Beytenu party after it entered Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's coalition, announced the name of the new party in a post she published on Facebook.
"Now is the time to make sure that any government that will be established here after the elections will no longer neglect the social issues, even if they are bored by them. Now is the time to return Israel to a state that does not abandon the weak. Now is the time to build a bridge here," she wrote.
"A bridge between populations that have known for too long that they should hate each other. A dangerous division that prevents us from fighting the common enemy: cynical interested persons who enjoy the mutual sedimentation and the convenient division into boxes. A bridge between the present, which is stuck in past terms of the left, the right and the center, and a future which is real growth, one that meets everyone and closes unbelievable gaps among all groups in Israeli society," she added.
Levy-Abekasis also mentioned the fact that the party has the same name as her father's former party.
"There is one more important personal meaning to me: Gesher was the name of my father's party. The man who taught me that no one is doing us a favor when we are making our voice heard, that the Israeli establishment is not reserved only for the strong but for all citizens, and that politics is a mission that must be treated with reverence."
"The 2019 elections are a historic opportunity to implement a new social order in Israel, to restore it to a state that is repairing injustices and dealing with years of neglect. It is possible and it depends only on us," she concluded.


Last week, author and illustrator Shane Evans visited our school. It was an amazing day! I had never heard Shane Evans speak before and it was quite a treat. Not only did he speak to our students, but he sang and celebrated life and dreams with us all day. Everyone in the room was clapping and singing and smiling!
Before his visit, we read several of his books. They are each powerful in their own way. I was already familiar with some of his books but didn't know all of them. Discovering the books that were new to me was quite fun! Underground and We March are still two of my favorites but I loved discovering Olu's Dream and Chocolate Me.
A great day with an amazing author/illustrator!
Happy Book Birthday, Amy LV!

Das katholische Münster St. Paul in Esslingen am Neckar ist ein frühgotischer Sakralbau aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Die Kirche des ehemaligen Dominikanerklosters gilt als älteste erhaltene Bettelordenskirche Deutschlands. Sie steht am westlichen Rand des Marktplatzes und gehört zusammen mit der evangelischen Stadtkirche St. Dionys und der am Hang liegenden Frauenkirche zu den prägenden Kirchengebäuden der Innenstadt.

Geschichte
Der Grundstein zur Kirche wurde 1233 gelegt, zugleich mit dem Grundstein des Dominikanerklosters. Der eigentliche Bau begann aber erst 1255. Im April 1268 n. Chr. weihte Albertus Magnus die Kirche. Die dreischiffige Säulenbasilika wurde damit die erste gewölbte Dominikanerkirche in Deutschland. In den ersten Jahrhunderten diente die Kirche auch als Begräbnisstätte. Das älteste erhaltene Ausstattungsstück ist die Grabplatte des Augsburger Weihbischofs Johannes Haiterbach, der 1447 in Esslingen verstarb. Die Platte ist aus rotem Marmor gearbeitet. Die alte Bettelordenskirche wurde während des Bildersturms ihres übrigen Schmucks großenteils beraubt; 1532 gaben die Dominikaner die Kirche auf. Bis 1802 wurde sie dann für evangelische Gottesdienste genutzt, danach diente sie als Futtermagazin, Lagerraum, Kelter und Waaghaus. Von 1827 bis 1832 wurden in dem Gebäude die Esslinger Liederfeste unter Karl Pfaff abgehalten. Im Jahr 1861 kaufte die katholische Kirchengemeinde in Esslingen das Münster für 15 000 Gulden. In der Zeit bis zur neuerlichen Weihe 1864 wurde auch das Pfarrhaus in der Augustinerstraße 5 errichtet. Das neben der Kirche gelegene Klostergebäude hingegen wurde seit den Tagen der Reformation als Waisenhaus und Schule genutzt und beherbergt heute die Waisenhofschule.

Bauwerk

Ursprünglich war die Nordseite der schlicht gehaltenen Kirche als Schaufassade angelegt worden, an der sich auch – im sechsten Joch – das Hauptportal befand. Es war einer wichtigen Straße, die auf das Mettinger Tor zuführte, zugewandt. Durch die Umgestaltung der Umgebung im 20. Jahrhundert hat die Lage der Kirche an Attraktivität verloren. Der Haupteingang befindet sich nun auf der Westseite, die einst nur zehn Meter von der Stadtmauer entfernt war. Statt eines Turmes trägt das Münster St. Paul nur einen Dachreiter. Chor und Langhaus sind nicht voneinander abgesetzt, es gibt kein Querhaus. Mit einer 1664 erfolgten Überarbeitung der Außenfassung der Kirche wurde eine weiße Fugenzeichnung zwischen den Sandsteinquadern angelegt. Diese wurde bei einer Restaurierung im Jahr 1994 wieder hergestellt.

Ausstattung
Die Fenster des östlichen Seitenschiffs aus dem Jahr 1934 stammen von Adolf Saile. Die farbigen Glasfenster im Polygonalchor mit Motiven aus den Paulusbriefen und das Fenster über der Orgelempore wurden 1961 von Wilhelm Geyer gestaltet. Sie zeigen in kleinen Medaillonbildern Szenen des Alten Bundes und auf größeren Flächen die Erfüllung im Neuen Bund. Die fünf Chorfenster wurden am Palmsonntag 1962 der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt, waren jedoch von Anfang an nicht unumstritten. Die gelbgrünen Töne wurden von Walter Supper, dem damaligen Hauptkonservator der Denkmalpflege, gar als "pervers-infernale Farbe" kritisiert und mussten nachträglich durch Übermalung gemildert werden. Weitere Fenster wurden 1995 von Emil Kiess und 2003 von Johannes Schreiter gestaltet.

Ulrich Rückriem schuf 1994 Ambo, Altar und Taufstein sowie eine Stele, auf der eine Pietà von Johannes Retzbach ihren Platz fand.

Seit 1927 wird alljährlich eine Weihnachtskrippe von Sebastian Osterrieder im Münster St. Paul aufgestellt.

Orgel
Die Orgel wurde 1966 von der Orgelbaufirma Rieger (Schwarzach, Vorarlberg) erbaut und 1994 renoviert. Das Instrument hat 41 Register auf drei Manualen und Pedal. Die Spieltrakturen sind mechanisch, die Registertrakturen elektrisch.

 Koppeln: I/II, III/II, I/P, II/P, III/P
 Spielhilfen: sechs mechanische Setzerkombinationen

Seit 1985 ist Felix Muntwiler Kirchenmusiker der St.-Pauls-Gemeinde. Er leitet unter anderem den Münsterchor St. Paul.
