In what format do I share my work background with you?
Should I list out my filmography here, with links to the few amateur films that I have made, and the many ambitious ones that I dream of often, but don't work on, for fear of failure?
Do I tell you what software products I have built, companies and teams I have been a part of, and technologies I have learned over the years?
Or should I upload the pdf copy of my curriculum vitae?
Sorry yaar. I wouldn't be able to do any of that.
I might at other online places, this diary though, is a more reflective, a more thinking aloud kind of place that I have.
So allow me to share a little background of my work background instead.
Mysteries of life are infinite and unfathomable. Not everything in your life will be full of joy. You will experience great loss and hurt in your journey.
There came a time I wanted to end it all, the journey itself, and it wasn't the first time, I remember I once thought about it as a kid, then much later in 2011, then again in 2012.
But this time, in 2014, the want to escape from life was stronger than anything I had ever experienced.
Stronger than first political awakening.
It was as if there was a storm inside me. Not a good storm. I did not know how to contain it. I could not. I tried surrendering. I tried fighting. I tried hiding. Nothing worked. I was screaming inside. Those screams were not made of words or sounds. Something inside me was desperately trying to find a way to be calm again. The more it tried, the more the screaming grew, the more the storm grew. I just could not contain it. Sometimes I abrubtly started crying, and felt better afterwards. But the calm wouldn't last long. The storms always came back.
Then after many months a mysterious voice whispered inside me. I don't know where it came from.
It was very gentle and light.
There was something about that voice. Everything became calm again.
The storms inside me emptied.
It happened in a second, but it did not feel sudden.
I do not know how to describe that calm.
It felt as real as sleep.
And as reassuring and soothing as the Himalayas.
In that moment I knew, that I would not quit on life, not until I am 90, and I told myself that I would try to work for simple and audacious purposes.
The details of what my heart wanted to do took shape later.
Finished shooting in Kenya, editing to be done next.

Cuomo meets with Trump
After a few days of public name-calling, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo actually met with President Trump on Thursday to talk about the Administration's decision to remove New Yorkers from Global Entry and several other Trusted Traveler Programs that let people avoid long lines when returning from abroad.
Cuomo has been railing that it was political retribution and trying to paint it as a personal attack by Trump on New York with nefarious racist intentions. In fact, it was done because the databases to insure travelers are allowed in the US legally and don't have criminal records are based on state drivers' license records – and New York recently started giving licenses to undocumented immigrants and blocking the feds from seeing their state motor vehicle database with the necessary background information.
In short, the state expects federal agencies entrusted with guarding national security to have as little regard for who someone is and whether they're in America legally or not as New York liberal Democrats do.
Not unexpectedly, there were no breakthroughs in the meeting, although Cuomo signaled a willingness to compromise a little by restoring federal access to driving records "on a limited basis." Which is useless, not just because it's limited but because having a New York drivers' licenses will still be no guarantee that someone has the legal right to be in America at all. And he's still vowing that "If they think they're going to extort New York into giving them a database of undocumented people, they're wrong. I will never do that."
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-cuomo-fail-to-reach-agreement-global-entry-suspension-sanctuary-state
It's a welcome development to see Cuomo at least putting aside the overheated rhetoric for an hour and having a White House meeting with Trump "as if he's the President." But if he expects Trump to compromise on national security, I think he's barking up the wrong tree. Gov. Cuomo needs to realize that as chief executive of his state, it's his sworn duty to faithfully execute the laws, not to aid and abet people who violate them. His government's indulgence for lawbreakers is already causing a spike in crime in New York, and President Trump is absolutely correct to hold firm in refusing to allow the contagion to spread to the federal level.
It's too bad all New Yorkers have to pay for the stubbornness and bad policies of their politicians. But if you elect people who refuse to take their jobs seriously and respect federal law, then go stand in the back of the line.
A Cook County, Illinois, grand jury has just indicted actor Jussie Smollett
Stop me if you've heard this one before: a Cook County, Illinois, grand jury has just indicted actor Jussie Smollett on charges related to filing a false police report about a staged hate crime. And yes, it's the same staged hate crime, not a new one. The one where he claimed that two white racists in MAGA caps who just happened to be carrying rope in subzero Chicago temperatures at 2 a.m. recognized him and launched a homophobic attack. Police later determined the "attackers" were two Nigerian brothers associated with Smollett. They believe the motive was to attain publicity and sympathy that would get him a raise from his TV series "Empire," at the expense of tarring Trump voters as racist thugs and risking possible violent retribution and racial animosity.
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/02/11/jussie-smollett-new-charges-special-prosecutor-dan-webb-cook-county-states-attorney-kim-foxx/
Smollett's attorneys called the indictment "political" and an affront to justice, but many Americans thought the real affront to justice was when the Cook County prosecutor simply dropped the 16 charges against Smollett, claiming that was standard procedure for a first time offender. The case was assigned to special prosecutor Dan Webb, a former federal prosecutor, who conducted a six month investigation. He said, "The grand jury's investigation revealed that Jussie Smollett planned and participated in a staged hate crime attack, and thereafter made numerous false statements to Chicago Police Department officers on multiple occasions, reporting a heinous hate crime that he, in fact, knew had not occurred." Webb also said the county prosecutors were unable to provide any evidence that the previous dismissal was in line with similar cases.
In their defense, I would hope it would be impossible to point to any cases similar to the Jussie Smollett case.
What if Adam Schiff held a publicity-grubbing media event and nobody came?
What if Adam Schiff held a publicity-grubbing media event and nobody came? I know, that's too much to hope for. But at least Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee that he allegedly chairs have had enough of Schiff's partisan antics and dereliction of his real duties, and they are refusing to go along with it any more.
https://www.westernjournal.com/house-republicans-strike-back-schiff-boycott-publicity-event-hearing/
Wednesday, Schiff scheduled a hearing on new technologies and national security that was largely a PR event, and all the Republicans on the Committee boycotted it. In a letter to Schiff on behalf of his Republican colleagues, ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes accused Schiff of refusing to address the real responsibility of the Intelligence Committee: overseeing federal intelligence agencies. Nunes noted that months have gone by with hardly any hearings or briefings on oversight (but plenty of time for kangaroo court "impeachment" drama.) He pointed out that IG Horowitz's report detailed 17 examples of shocking failings, including falsifying FISA court warrant applications to spy on American citizens. Yet Schiff's committee has done nothing, other than hoping to bury it until the public forgets about it.
Well, I'm not going to forget about it, nor will many other conservatives in the media. We will continue beating on that drum until we finally see some real justice served and the people who blatantly abused their power held to account. I'm perfectly willing to keep writing about it for the next nine months until the November elections. At that time, let us hope, voters will insure that the Intelligence Committee is taken away from the self-aggrandizing partisan liar Schiff and put back under the chairmanship of Nunes, who has been right in sounding the alarm about intelligence agency political corruption from the very beginning.
The DOJ scandal has NOTHING to do with Bill Barr

News from South Dakota
There seems to be widespread agreement in liberal circles that 18-year-olds are too immature to be trusted with anything dangerous. They want 21 to be the legal age to smoke cigarettes, vape, drunk alcohol or buy a gun.
Yet they will fight to the death to make sure children 16 and younger can decide for themselves whether to have doctors shoot them full of puberty-blocking drugs with unknown potential side-effects on their bodies, if they believe they're transgender. We can't test cosmetics on animals, but we can use our children as guinea pigs for testing unproven puberty blocking chemicals.
In South Dakota, there was an attempt to change the law to stop what would, in previous years, have been immediately recognized as dangerous quackery and child abuse. And despite the fact that the South Dakota government is entirely run by Republicans, with staggering majorities in both Houses, the attempt failed when the House passed it but the Senate did not.
https://www.westernjournal.com/south-dakota-senate-bows-lgbt-outrage-mob-kills-child-sex-change-bill/
And here's an article from last week, before the bill was defeated, that includes more background about how giving dangerous chemicals to children has become a trendy political crusade, and what it can do to their bodies. Also, what the advocates for this don't want you to know. Like how Jazz Jennings has been touted as the public face of a healthy transgender child for years, but we're only now learning that she suffered severe complications and went through four painful surgeries because years of hormone blockers while still growing caused her sexual organs to develop in ways that the surgeons weren't sure how to deal with.

A step "forward"
Several commenters have asked me to help spread the word about the latest radical bill from House Democrats called the "New Way Forward Act."
Voting problems in Michigan
The Washington Free Beacon reports that liberal groups and New York attorneys are rushing to Detroit to help the city fight a lawsuit that seeks to force Detroit to clean up its voter roll irregularities.
https://freebeacon.com/issues/liberal-groups-and-high-powered-lawyers-swarm-detroit-to-keep-dead-voters-on-rolls/
A recent study found that Detroit has 479,267 individuals eligible to vote and 511,786 registered voters. Those include about 500 duplicate registrations and 2500 dead people. The leftist groups are fighting the effort to purge dead, fake and ineligible voter registrations. As the article notes:
"Democrats have built a massive network of nonprofit groups, funded by George Soros and other liberal donors, to oppose Republican-backed voting initiatives such as voter identification laws. Michigan is a significant target for such efforts given its 'swing state' status; Trump won the state by just 10,000 votes in the 2016 election."
Far be it from me to deny dead people representation, but I get tired of hearing the claim that every attempt to stop voter fraud or clean up registration rolls is an attempt to "disenfranchise" Democratic voters. The reason this so angers me is because, in fact, every fraudulent vote cast is a real case of disenfranchising a voter.
The right to vote is one of our most fundamental rights. Whenever anyone who has no legal right to vote does so anyway (or a vote is cast in someone else's name, or someone votes more than once), that vote cancels out a legitimate vote. Some American citizen was deprived of their sacred right to have a say in their own government.
I will start believing the people fighting attempts to clean up voter rolls really care about disenfranchising voters when I see them express equal outrage over citizens' legitimate votes being rendered nil by fraudulent ballots.
Must-Read Essay
Must-Read Essay! Karlyn Borysenko was a longtime Democrat, MSNBC viewer, and believer in all the horrible things she had been told about Donald Trump and his racist, deplorable followers. She even unfriended and blocked people on her social media pages who said anything positive about Trump. But she was also a member of an online knitting community. She noticed how leftwing "social justice warrior" types took over even something that apolitical and started bullying anyone who didn't agree with them 100%.
So she stated listening to people on the "other side." She discovered they actually weren't mean, evil, racist white supremacists. That led her to the Walkaway movement, which the left had told her was just Russian bots (no, they were real people fed up with leftist hate and intolerance.) It culminated in her doing the once unthinkable: she attended a Trump rally in Manchester, and was treated…nicely! And she learned that Trump supporters aren't a mindless cult that think he's a god (in fact, most wish he'd quit Twitter), but they appreciate that he's keeping his promises and has a positive vision for America's future -- unlike the unrelenting gloom-and-doom of the Democrats, who can see nothing good in our horrible, racist, climate-destroying country.
https://medium.com/@karlyn/ive-been-a-democrat-for-20-years-here-s-what-i-experienced-at-trump-s-rally-in-new-hampshire-c69ddaaf6d07
Read the entire article and follow her journey of discovery as her mind and her eyes are slowly opened. She's not entirely there yet (she still backs Pete Buttigieg and believes some negative Trump tropes.) But she's now an Independent, so there's a good first step.
She's also learned something I've been preaching for years: that most people are not radical political caricatures; most people want the best for their families and their country; they might just disagree on what that is or how to get there. That's why it's important to talk civilly to each other and listen to each other. It's why I have an open invitation to all the Democratic Presidential candidates to come on my show, where I guarantee they will get a friendly greeting, a fair hearing and a civil discussion (so far, only Tulsi Gabbard and John Delaney have taken me up on it.)
Reading through the comments, I see that most are very supportive, which is heartening, but there are still a couple from people who have yet to break out of the bubble. They think she's been deluded or tricked by us evil, racist Trump supporters, hiding our white supremacist intentions. One insists that most of the political violence today comes from the right. I have to assume that she lives in a bubble that formed on another planet.
When was the last time you heard of riots, violence and threats on campus from some Young Republican group trying to keep a liberal from speaking? On the other hand, here's an entire documentary about leftist fascist thuggery, on campus and elsewhere:
https://nosafespaces.com/
I also haven't heard about a lot of Democratic headquarters being vandalized, or any Republicans driving a van through a tent full of elderly Bernie Sanders volunteers. And yes, the jerk who did that to the Trump people was politically motivated.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-man-arrested-republican-tent-trump
Nor can I find too many instances of Republicans physically assaulting people for wearing pro-Democratic apparel – or something that sort of looks like it, if your Trump Derangement Syndrome has rendered you functionally illiterate.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/retired-nypd-cop-says-he-was-assaulted-in-nashville-bar-over-make-50-great-again-birthday-hat-report
Finally, as long as I'm pointing out that it's a lot more fruitful to look for the good in people than to blindly assume anyone who disagrees with you is 100% EEEEEEVIL, here's a Throwback Thursday link for you. It' from 2016, and I first wrote about it back then and have referred to it occasionally since. But this is a good time for a refresher reading, in light of the Democratic Presidential candidates once against painting Donald Trump as a mean, selfish, bullying liar who is without a shred of decency and who never did anything for anyone other than himself (yes, those are actual descriptions.)
This is an article by an entertainment reporter whose job was to cover Trump long before he went into politics. She was paid to dig up dirt, but just couldn't find any. But she did uncover a lot of stories of him reaching out to help people in need, some of which she recounted here:
https://townhall.com/columnists/lizcrokin/2016/07/10/trump-does-the-unthinkable-n2190160
The whole article is a great antidote to all the partisan hatred and slander, but this line might be the most telling of all: "…in all my years covering him, I've never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for President."
Gee, I wonder why that is?

A new survey finds most California voters agree the state is experiencing a drought, but they don't agree on why it's happening.
The Field Poll finds 88 percent of California voters believe there is a serious water shortage. However, 27 percent say the problem is a lack of water storage, while 37 percent say existing supplies aren't being used efficiently enough. Another quarter of voters say both are a problem.
Voters are divided about whether California should be allowed to bypass existing regulations that protect fish and the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta during dry years.
And the Field Poll finds Californians prefer voluntary water use cutbacks over mandatory rationing by a two to one margin.

Rapport: afluisterapparatuur in gebouw Europese Commissie in 2003 mogelijk van Israël (en) - Hoofdinhoud
Met dank overgenomen van EUobserver (EUOBSERVER), gepubliceerd op dinsdag 11 januari 2011, 14:45.
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Belgium's Standing Intelligence Agencies Review Committee will in a report due out on Tuesday (11 January) reveal details of a 2003 EU bugging scandal that names Israeli secret services as a potential culprit.
The report, completed in late 2010, is to be published on the committee's website at around 4pm Brussels time in Dutch and French.
Committee member Peter de Smet on Tuesday afternoon told EUobserver the report says that two people suspected of planting listening devices in the EU member states' headquarters, the Justus Lipsius building, when it was constructed back in the mid-1990s had been trained by the Israeli telecommunications company Comverse, which has known links to the Mossad, the Israeli spy agency.
"There is no hard evidence [that the Mossad carried out the operation]," Mr De Smet explained. "But it was really state-of-the-art listening equipment that was placed back in 1993 or 1994 and there were not many countries that had the means at this time. It could be Israel, it could be Russia, it could be England or it could be the US - there you have really the four countries possible, but it will never blow up who did these things. It will remain a game inside the intelligence services."
The report does not name any country other than Israel as the potential guilty party in its findings, however.
In a note of caution for the European External Action Service, which is currently installing security facilities in its new headquarters, the Axa building on the Schuman roundabout in the EU quarter in Brussels, Mr De Smet added: "The main lesson of the report is that you should be careful when choosing your subcontractors."
"Also, if you have secrets - please join up all your efforts within your security services to tackle the problem in a multi-angle way."
The spy devices were first discovered by the Justus Lipsius' own technicians in February and March 2003 in parts of the building used by British, French, German and Spanish diplomats.
The EU's internal security branch - themselves former Belgian security officers - contacted the Belgian secret services to try to set up a sting on the spies involved. But the sting operation fell apart when the French daily, Le Figaro, published an article on the affair a few days later in a leak which Mr De Smet cautiously linked to one of the four countries' own secret services.
"You can imagine that France, Germany, England, Spain, their services were probably also notified [of the sting]," he answered when asked how Le Figaro got the scoop.
The report paints the Belgian security apparatus and the then government of former prime minister Guy Verhofstadt, currently the leader of the Liberal group in the EU parliament, in a negative light.
It says that the officers involved in the failed sting should have immediately contacted Belgian counter-espionage experts; nobody was put in overall charge of the investigation which was carried out by seven separate Belgian security bureaux; documents asked for by investigators were delivered years later; and search warrants for private homes were issued six years after they were first requested. In the end, nobody was caught.
Mr De Smet added that a full sweep of the Justus Lipsius was carried out in 2003 following the discovery of the listening devices and that the report carries no suggestion that the Council of Ministers' headquarters suffered any similar security breaches in the 2003 to 2010 period.
"In a way it [the report] is an old cow," he said.

Moderator, News & Information, BSOD Kernel Dump Analyst, Contributor
Thought your "Moments" were going to be ad free? Think again.
Twitter isn't wasting any time trying to cash in on its latest product, saying Friday that it's bringing advertising to its "Moments" feature this weekend. The first "Promoted Moments" campaign, scheduled to go up Sunday, will be for the upcoming Rocky sequel called "Creed." Other campaigns will begin rolling out starting Monday.
Launched two weeks ago, the much-hyped Moments lets Twitter users get information on major trending events, including breaking news, concerts and sporting events, through curated tweets, videos and images. The San Francisco-based social network is hoping Moments will attract more advertisers and drive its revenue.
Advertisers will be able to weave a series of tweets into a given Moment. Those tweets will be live on Twitter for 24 hours.

The Green Hornet2011
Posted by G2895 - Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

When co-founder of a San Francisco newspaper THE DAILY SENTINEL, JOHN PAUL, is shot in his home, FRANK SCANLON, district attorney, considers John's position as a crime and politics reporter and rules out robbery as a motive. BRITT REID, publisher for the Sentinel, promises his father, DAN, who'd co-founded The Sentinel with John, that he won't rest until he finds out who did this.At the paper, John's former position as executive TV producer is taken over by REX, a shameless opportunist, who exhibits not one trace of remorse for the company's recent loss. In fact, the first meeting he holds in his new office is with a goon named TOMMY, who inquires about what Rex plans to do with his newfound corporate capital. When Rex suggests that he's thinking of bowing out with his cut after an illicit job they've just completed, Tommy won't allow it and tells Rex that the crew needs something of him--the ability to communicate anywhere, in real-time, without being detected via discreet usage of his TV station for two weeks--if anyone can manipulate info, it's newsmen, he says. With the right people in key positions within The Sentinel, he concludes, anything is possible. He promptly gives Rex a short list of people to fire.In the forensics lab, a print is lifted from inside John's condo--its match is Mr. YAO XCHAN, a known Chinese national drug smuggler with gang connections, most recently known for his attempt to smuggle over a quarter ton of dope into San Francisco via commercial shipping. Frank calls Britt with his address, and Britt and Kato promptly change outfits--Kato, into hat and mask, with gloved hands, and Britt into a green suit, clad as the GREEN HORNET. They both hop in his car, the BLACK BEAUTY, type in the address, key in commands, and send a metallic black bee that rises from a small door on the car's hood to fly off under their control and give them closer views of their destination. After it locates Xchan, they break into his apartment and Hornet questions him about his whereabouts during the shooting three days ago, but he doesn't answer--he finally admits that he had pulled the trigger himself. He'd been paid by someone, but just before his eyes glaze over and he passes out, all he can utter of the name is, "Choo... choo..."In Britt's office, the following day, one of the TV news engineers, BILL, complains that Rex is firing all the good guys and bringing in a bunch of new guys he's never even heard of. Britt question Rex about where these new people are from, and he vaguely responds that they're the cream of the crop, from all over the country. Britt says he'll be watching--but in the meantime, no more personnel changes.MIKE, a reporter, tells Britt about the Hornet being out last night, and victimizing a suspect in John's murder--after the cops took the suspect to jail, his million dollar bail had been posted by a woman named SUE ANN LEE. Britt tells him to get the story out as soon as possible.On the evening of the Sentinel's 30th anniversary party, Rex officially introduces Britt to his new TV crew--RAY JORDAN, BRUCE KONIG, TIM SMITH, TOMMY CHEW--and Sue Ann Lee. Not only does Britt recognize that name as that of the woman who'd bailed out Xchan, but he recognizes the name "Chew," from the sounds that Xchan had uttered before passing out. He tells Kato about it and they conclude something must be going on, and they need to find out what as soon as possible. He tells Kato to get a pen...and leave it on the group's table.When they download the pen's data later, they hear two voices engaging in a choppy discussion about all their distributors being in place, about dope inside trucks, about a fake game, a great idea, airwaves, and only one thing to worry about--Bill, the nosy engineer and Britt, if he finds out. They decide they'll take care of Bill tonight. Upon hearing this, Britt and Kato decide to suit up and follow Bill home from the party. Once Bill gets to his garage, three men hop out of an SUV that's been trailing him, drag him out of his car and start beating him, until the Green Hornet appears with a three foot bat and invites himself to "play." He and Kato beat the thugs so badly that they must scramble away with the little that is left of their dignity. The Green Hornet bugs their car before they flee, then calls an ambulance for Bill, before speeding away himself.They track the thugs down and meet them at a cannery, where Tommy scolds his goons for blowing it--Bill's still in the picture.The next morning, Frank calls Britt demanding to know what he/Green Hornet and Kato are doing--now everyone thinks that the Green Hornet beat up Bill. On top of that, they're responsible for a shooting on the freeway and an explosion by the docks--both of which are all over the papers. Frank says they must be getting close to something and he knows it has something to do with Xchan, but they need to bring him in now, or he's going to split the country.Later, at home, Britt pulls up the TV station's new numbers challenge game on his computer and studies it. He asks Rex about it the next day at work, and he tells him it's a new TV game they developed to air during news breaks starting tonight. The winner gets a cash prize, and it'll be good for the sponsors as well as for the station. Rex's responses convince Britt that it all seems legit. He asks why all his new hires have been sporting injuries around the office since the weekend. Rex claims that he heard they'd had a little football game this weekend.Mike comes to see Britt about the piece in the paper on the explosions down by the docks the other night--he thinks there's more to it than just chemicals catching fire in a dumpster. He'd done some snooping around and found out about more activity that night--a truck involved in a chase, and he'd seen it himself, behind a building, completely wrecked and burned out. He heard there was a break in, but most of the guys around the cannery didn't want to talk about it at all, and he doesn't think the police report even scratched the surface. Britt suggests that they just let the cops pursue this one. Still, Mike insists there could be a much bigger story there, but Britt insists he can't put his reporters in danger. When Mike says the Black Beauty was also seen in the area that night, Britt dismisses it as a joke.Later, at home, Britt watches the debut of the Super Secret Numbers Challenge, and compares it with information he'd retrieved from the docks the night he and Kato had gone snooping around. He deciphers that some of the numbers refer to an address, others correspond with the day's date, and the next numbers could represent military time. From that he gathers: Clay St. and Taylor, ten o'clock tonight. He and Kato suit up and drive there, to catch a group of men in a truck full of mysterious boxes containing heroin inside ornate vases. Britt calls Frank and tells him to send someone downtown to Clay and Taylor. Later, Frank congratulates him on a job well done--except for the bodies he'd left him, cuffed and executed. But Britt swears they had all been alive when he left.In the office, CASEY, Britt's secretary, overhears a conversation in the TV editing room between Tommy and Rex--one speaker orders that if anyone sees the Green Hornet, they're to shoot him and his driver on sight. When they spot her near the door, Casey tries to play off any possibility that she's heard them, but they seem to be on to her eavesdropping.Immediately she calls Britt and tells him she wants to discuss something, but not over the phone. On her way to "lunch" however, a large man snatches her from behind and tosses her into the backseat of a black BMW, between Xchan and another man, who smothers her with a cloth to her face until she passes out.LISA, Casey's friend, who's witnessed it all, calls Kato to report this to him.Casey's kidnappers take her to a rental room and lock her inside until they're done with a "project" they're working on.The Green Hornet and Kato track down Rex and take him to a remote park to interrogate him about Casey's whereabouts. He finally admits that Tommy has her at his place, and gives them the address. They find the rental room, beat up the goons that are guarding it, and rescue Casey.Though Casey's supposed to be "missing," she and Britt go out to dinner, and she spots one of the kidnappers while they're out. She demands that Britt kiss her, to protect her cover. They trail the kidnappers in his car and watch behind tinted windows as they and other workers load more boxes into another truck. They both recognize Tommy, as well as Xchan among them and try to figure out what's going on. Britt calls Kato to meet him in thirty minutes.The Green Hornet and Kato invade the operation on the docks and Rex flees and calls CC to tell her he needs to talk to her. They'll go out for a nightcap.He meets her at the Global Marketing office and asks where she'd like to spend the rest of her life--tonight. She names the Bahamas, and he whips out two cases full of money. As she asks where he'd gotten so much money from, someone fires at the door. Rex asks if she'd told anyone he was there, and she names Tommy. He panics and tells her they have to split, but she says she wants nothing to do with this. But he tells her it's too late--Tommy will kill them both. When Tommy and his thugs burst inside, Rex reasons that at least the cops should be there in a minute; but CC tells him she'd turned off the alarm because she thought they were leaving. Just as Tommy turns the gun on Rex and CC, the Green Hornet and Kato burst in and corner him in the office. They leave them all immobilized inside and outside of the building for the cops to retrieve.

A disgrace...
The work of an anti-social vandal
Now, for some unfortunate news...
Although we live in a great part of Cardiff, with a great community, we are visited sometimes by acts of ugly vandalism. The latest incidents happened on the night of 14 November, when the nurse and soldier silhouettes in Windsor Gardens, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One were destroyed, leaving razor sharp edges on the remains.
It is hard to believe that the persons responsible gave any thought to what they were doing. During the war, over 700,000 British soldiers were killed, defending our way of life. Some of those soldiers came from Radyr and Morganstown. Some of their families live here to this day. The level of disrespect was sick and disgraceful.
At the same time, lights and candles displayed to celebrate Diwali were smashed and destroyed - showing huge disrespect to our much-loved Hindu, Jain and Sikh friends. Again, we utterly condemn this moronic act.
We encourage anyone who knows anything about these incidents to contact the police on 101. If you feel nervous about doing so, why not talk to someone else first?
We cannot, and will not, live with ugly acts of vandalism in our community. Although the vandals may live outside Radyr and Morganstown, if anyone involved is reading this article, please know that we hope you are found - and that the sentence for criminal damage includes community orders, which can include up to 300 hours of unpaid work - whilst being supervised by the Probation Service for twelve months. Any subsequent criminal record has to be disclosed to employers, potential employers and in applications for places in University.
Our community should not have to tolerate this kind of behaviour.
Some of the Diwali lights before they were smashed
Our Christmas celebrations...
We can't wait for Christmas!
Radyr and Morganstown Community Council has great pleasure in announcing to its residents our plans for a "Festive and Safe" Christmas festival and celebrations.
For obvious reasons, we have been unable to organise some of our usual activities, but RMCC has been flexible and innovative in our approach to Christmas during these strange times.
Over the next few weeks there will be announcements on this site as we "Countdown to Christmas". These will outline the activities that will be available for the whole Community. Please, therefore, save this site as one of your favourites and drop in regularly to see what will be happening - and when.
In the meantime, here is a flavour of what to expect throughout the month of December. Watch this space for more details. We really hope you enjoy!
Our Christmas trees and Station Road lights will be lit early this year to help generate a festive spirit.
We will be providing three lovely trees!
Santa will tour our community to admire our Christmas lights - and join the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress to launch Christmas and officially switch on the lights in Station Road. Look out for more details.
A tour of the Community by Disney Characters. After being so popular during lockdown, Mickey and Minnie will return as Mr and Mrs Claus, along with their friends, to visit us for Christmas. Watch out for the date and route details.
Mickey will be returning soon!
Who has the best decorations on the outside of their house? Enter our competition for the most festive house decorations and there will be a prize for the winners.
Your chance to win £50!
All this and more!! Keep watching our site for details and we hope you have a safe and festive Christmas!
New Christmas Competition!
You could win £50 if your house looks like Christmas!
Following a difficult year - and with the cancellation of so many Christmas events, Radyr and Morganstown Community Council has decided to bring some festive cheer to our community, by organising a Christmas Competition.
On offer is £100 worth of prizes for the houses which our judges decide are the best decorated houses in Radyr and Morganstown. Obviously, this will involve mainly outdoor decorations only!
If you would like to enter the competition, simply send up to three photographs of your house to clerk@radyr.wales. Entries should reach us by 18 December.
We will draw up a shortlist of homes, which our judging panel will view 'from the road'. They will do so whilst safely socially distanced - and only if Welsh Government rules in place at the time will allow them to do so. If they are unable to view the houses, we will judge the competion on the basis of the photographs.
The winning house will receive a £50 prize; the second best will receive £30 - and the third best will receive £20.
The judges will all be members of the Community Council's Christmas Working Group (which has also been busy arranging improvements to our festive street lighting).
They judges will be looking for:
colourful displays
the 'spirit of Christmas'
display impact
taste and style - or just fun elements
the amount of lighting.
With the house owners' consent, we would like to post a picture of the winning houses on our website.
As with all competitions, the judges decision will be final!
No prizes will be awarded to any of the Council's staff or councillors.
We hope this small, fun event, will help us all get into the Christmas spirt!
New traffic lights
The new lights. Turn right for Radyr and Morganstown
The new traffic lights at the junction of Heol Isaf and Llantrisant Road have been switched on.
This brings to an end (we hope) more than two years of roadworks at this site.
Now we'll have to wait and see how the lights affect traffic flow at this junction. Let us know how they affect your daily journeys.
Hopefully, it will be green for go!
We commemorate Remembrance Sunday
This morning our Chair laid a wreath on behalf of the Community Council to commemorate British service members who have died in wars and other military conflicts since the onset of World War One.
With Wales still being in Lockdown, Remembrance Sunday this year is very different. In past years we have witnessed a large turnout around the War Memorial in Heol Isaf, followed by a service in Christ Church. However, with gatherings forbidden and churches closed, neither is possible today. Even so, online services will be held - details of which can be found here.
For the Fallen
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
Our wreath

Remembrance Sunday services
Remembrance Sunday will be different this year
We are pleased to publish this announcement by the Radyr and Morganstown Association about Remembrance Sunday services:
With Wales still being in Lockdown, Remembrance Sunday this year – on 8th November – will be very different.

However, with gatherings forbidden and churches closed, neither is possible. Instead, there will be a brief service at the War Memorial starting around 10:45am, conducted by local Ministers Rev'd Vicki Burrows and Rev'd Judith Holliman. Please do not attend this service. It will be broadcast live via YouTube and everyone is encouraged to join in that way. Details of the service and the YouTube link can be found on the Community Website.
For those who would like to join in a service on Sunday, Rev'd Vicki will be conducting a Remembrance Sunday Eucharist Service via Zoom starting at 09:30. Details can be found on the Parish website.
In addition, the Rev'd Judith Holliman, of Radyr Methodist Church, will be conducting a Zoom service at 6pm which will be 'Remembering With Poetry'. If you would like to attend this service, please e-maol Rev's Judith. for the for the Zoom link: judith.holliman@methodist.org.uk
Upgrading the Valleys Line
We will be getting new trains, like this one
Residents will know that Transport for Wales is undertaking a major project to upgrade and electrify the Valleys Line.
You can follow a link to the part of their website which discusses the project: click here.
It includes information about overhead line electrification and piling (to instal the foundations for the gantries that will support the electric cables). The website explains that the piling will happen at night, so that TfW can can carry on running their rail services during the day. There is also a frequently asked questions section.
We will let you know if we receive any more details about this work - especially any work that will affect residents in Radyr and Morganstown.

For a true reconciliation Israel must apologize to the Palestinians, says Uri Avnery
Guila Flint
Opera Mundi
Originally published in Portuguese for Brasilian audience, English translation by the writer
http://operamundi.uol.com.br/conteudo/entrevistas/30940/por+reconciliacao+verdadeira+israel+deve+pedir+perdao+aos+palestinos+afirma+uri+avnery.shtml
In an interview with Opera Mundi, held a few days before his 90th birthday, the veteran Israeli peace activist, Uri Avnery, outlines his views on the necessary steps so that there is ultimately a true and lasting reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.
Avnery, who fought for the independence of Israel in the 1948 war and was seriously injured, was the first Israeli who crossed literally lines and met with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, during the war in Lebanon in 1982, in a bunker in Beirut.
The meeting took place during the bombing of the Israeli Air Force to the Lebanese capital.
In addition to his important contribution to peace between the two peoples, Avnery is also considered the principal teacher of the Israeli press, several journalists who are now in key positions in local media learned the profession working in the magazine he edited - Haolam Hazeh.
Since 1946, Avnery has devoted his life to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and despite all the obstacles, maintains optimism.
He recently launched in Brazil, the book Another Israel, published by Civilizacao Brasileira publishing house.
Opera Mundi - In several of your texts you say that Israel should apologize to the Palestinians for the wrongs he has committed, why is this gesture necessary?
Uri Avnery - In my encounters over the years with all sorts of Palestinians I felt that, more than anything else, what hurts them is the feeling of historical injustice done to them. Other people took possession of their country, their homeland.
From the historical point of view there is no doubt that the Zionist idea is based on a historical injustice to the Palestinians. This land was Palestine, an Arab country for 1300 years, and one day outsiders arrive who claim they were here 2000 years ago and, in a systematic way, by peaceful means in the beginning and then by violent means, take 78% land and may even come to take the remaining 22%. Expel half of the people and may even come to expel the remaining half.
What was made is not possible to delete, but it is possible to partly fix through the creation of a Palestinian state and the return of 22% of the land that were occupied during the 1967 war, including East Jerusalem.
However, the deep feeling that they have suffered an injustice will remain, and so we must ask forgiveness.
The Jews had very good reasons to come here, because of a deep existential need. But that does not change the fact that it caused historic injustice to the Palestinians.
Obtaining justice for Jews was made through a profound, historical injustice, to the Palestinians.
This is a matter of psychological character and we know that historical gestures can move mountains.
Remember the historic gesture of Willy Brandt (former German Chancellor), who knelt and asked forgiveness to the Jewish people in the Warsaw ghetto, this gesture had a huge impact.
At some point we also have to make a similar gesture.
OM - Do you think that Israeli society is able to make such a gesture?
UA - Today obviously not. But hopefully, in the context of peace, as a result of the agreement, it will be possible.
The two peoples are already in conflict for 131 years, since 1882, when the Zionist colonization of Palestine started. Everything must be done to finally get a true reconciliation between the two peoples.
What happened here is unprecedented in History and that`s why it is so difficult to solve. Two national movements emerged at the same time, in order to realize their aspirations on the same land.
The Zionist national movement emerged from the desperate need of European Jews, when anti-Semitic nationalist movements were strengthened throughout Europe.
(Theodor) Herzl and his partners had an almost prophetic vision, they understood, since the late 19th century, that the situation of the Jews in Europe would get worse, but I think even they did not imagine the Holocaust. They understood that it was necessary to create a new nation - the Jewish nation - as attempts to assimilate the Jews in Europe had failed.
The result is that the Zionist movement came to a land that did not belong to it, built villages and when it became strong enough, took almost the whole land.
I am part of it, I fought in the War of Independence in 1948, when I was 24. I shot thousands of shots and do not know how many people I hurt or killed - our battalion fought mostly at night.
Anyway, I take responsibility for everything that happened here.
However, before that war I have advocated an alliance with the Arab national movement. In 1946 I wrote a manifesto called War or Peace in the Semitic Region, in which I proposed that the Hebrew national movement and the Arab national movement unite to expel the British Mandate.
OM - To expedite the peace agreement, what the Prime Minister of Israel, Binyamin Netanyahu, should do?
UA - Netanyahu and Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) must appoint joint teams to discuss each of the main themes of the conflict - borders, refugees, settlements, security, Jerusalem etc..
The teams must formulate the points where there is already agreement and points of disagreement, including the arguments of both sides.
After finishing the work of the teams, the leaders themselves must negotiate and decide what concessions they will make.
Is it possible to make peace in a week. All the conditions for peace have been known for many years, we know them by heart, we can quote them while sleeping. What is lacking is the political will.
Netanyahu believes in Greater Israel. He was created by a ultra-radical father and has to overcome his internal barriers.
He also leads a party increasingly radical, and will have to overlap the party itself. Moreover, his partners in the coalition government are even more right-wing than Likud.
But if Netanyahu offers a peace agreement to the Parliament, I`m sure he will get the support of most MPs, since the opposition will approve the agreement. He will also get the agreement of the majority of the population.
OM – And the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas? What should he do to expedite the deal?
UA - For an agreement to be implemented it is important that there is a reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas.
But Hamas is a problematic organization because it suffers from an internal contradiction between its theological vision and political pragmatism. Ideologically Hamas will always be against an agreement because it believes that Palestine is the holy land of Islam, in which there can be no Jewish state.
Another issue is the right moment for reconciliation between the Palestinian factions.
If a national unity happens before the agreement, Hamas may put obstacles to the agreement.
On the other hand, Abbas can not implement the agreement without reconciliation with Hamas.
OM – And the American mediators, what do you think they should do to expedite the deal?
UA - I think the U.S. government should outline parameters for the negotiations, according to the international consensus, should put on the table the basic principles we have known for over 20 years - back to the 1967 borders, the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, East Jerusalem capital of the Palestinian state, an agreed solution to the refugee problem.
Another subject about which there is a consensus, including from the Palestinians and the Arab League, is that some settlement blocs will remain under Israeli sovereignty, and in exchange, Israel will give the Palestinians a portion of its territory, with identical area.
OM - What is the impact of the Arab Spring on the chances of peace between Israelis and Palestinians?
UA - On the one hand the impact is positive, because the Arab countries are not in a position to oppose obstacles to an agreement.
On the other side it is negative, because the turmoil in the Arab world frighten the Israelis and strengthen all the stereotypes and prejudices they have about the Arabs.
OM - What is the role of the Israeli press and media in the peace process between Israelis and Palestinians?
UA - Unfortunately 99% of the role of the press, both written and electronic, is negative. There are some exceptions, but the vast majority of the press contributes to a destructive atmosphere for peace, because it strengthens the prejudices against Arabs.
Many of the journalists act as spokespersons of the government and especially when it comes to issues labeled as security, automatically align with the government`s position.
What`s worse is that many journalists express a profound contempt for the Arab world in general, and you can not make peace with someone who you despise. It`s easier to make peace with someone you hate but you respect.
OM - You`re writing a new book?
UA - Yes, I`m almost done. It is an autobiography that begins with my birth in Germany, and ends with the death of my wife, Rachel, two years ago.
Will be two volumes. The first of 20 chapters, is already completed. And now I also finished 22 chapters of the second volume, three more to go.
OM - You devoted 67 years of your life to peace between Israelis and Palestinians. In view of the results we observe, was it worth it?
UA - Yes, without a doubt. In terms of the struggle for public awareness, local and international, we had a great victory. After the 1948 war, when I talked about the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, no one in Israel recognized the existence of the Palestinian people and no one agreed with anything similar to a Palestinian state.
In 1969 I went to Washington and could not find even one American politician, neither in the White House nor in the State Department, which supported the idea of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
Today this idea is global consensus, and even Netanyahu was forced to say he accepts it.
I consider this change a great victory. But even if it was a total failure, I would do it all again.

Malaysia is looking to utilise blockchain technology and traceability to raise the level of trust in its local palm oil industry, by proving its commitment to transparent, sustainable and responsible supply chains.
The initiative is headed by the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC), an institution dedicated to promote market expansion for Malaysian palm oil and its products, and the technology provider that MPOC has selected is blockchain firm BloomBloc.
"MPOC chose to work with BloomBloc specifically because of its experience in creating real-time traceable, transparent supply chains with respect to sustainable agriculture," MPCO CEO Datuk Dr Kalyana Sundram told FoodNavigator-Asia.
"This fits well with our goal to not just give plantations rich data to help improve their crop management and harvests, but also to track working conditions and plantation management."
BloomBloc will be pioneering a blockchain app and web interface together with MPOC that can provide secure, transparent third-party verification of a 'comprehensive list of variables' in the Malaysian palm oil supply chain.
"The blockchain app and web interface designed specifically for the Malaysian palm oil industry is an efficient method of ensuring the end user that they are receiving responsibly produced palm oil," said Dr Sundram.
"Simultaneously it adds a layer of accountability to every touch point, from the individual oil palm tree through processing and product delivery – [We] strongly recommend that blockchain be considered for any crop for which traceability, trust and accountability are important factors among end-users."
The app has already been tested on a pilot scale, and as a next step it will be made available through a user agreement to all Malaysian oil palm growers and palm oil processors.
Dr Sundram remained coy on revealing whether the pilot was run with large local palm oil producers (such as Sime Darby) or with smallholders, but said that the upcoming user agreement would be 'an opportunity for the plantations and the small stakeholders to implement the technology'.
In response to queries on whether getting smallholders to use this technology would be a difficult endeavour, he added that MPOC 'fully anticipates' these common challenges, and that these are very workable'.
"The biggest challenge to adopting blockchain or any emerging technology that provides measurable benefit, is that education leading to everyday use and acceptance take significant time and resources," he said.
"[The end-goal is for the app to] reinforce the industry's trust in our plant-to-plate processes, and reassure food manufacturers who seek to track land usage and other factors contributing to our sustainable certification processes."
Transparency is key
Traceability is important when it comes to assuring whether a palm oil processing chain is truly sustainable, and Dr Sundram said that this technology would add transparency another benefit for all players in the supply chain as well, especially end-product F&B companies.
"By far, the most important benefit of this new blockchain technology and web interface to the Malaysian palm oil industry is the ultimate level of transparency," he said.
"Once entered, the information entered cannot be edited or altered. Because this is designed specifically for the Malaysian palm oil industry, it logically follows the country's certified sustainable processes and standards.
"The ultimate goal is for everyone producing or using Malaysian certified sustainable palm oil to earn the market's trust with this verifiable information."
He also clarified that this app has been specifically developed for the Malaysian palm oil industry, which is why although the global Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) has its own tracing technology (PalmTrace), this was developed separately just for local use.
"The Malaysian Palm Oil Council has long-standing, good cooperation with the RSPO, which has members representing multiple countries. This particular blockchain app technology was developed on behalf of the Malaysian palm oil stakeholders," said Dr Sundram.
Malaysia's palm oil challenges
Although Malaysia has been one of the world's largest suppliers of palm oil for some time now, recently it has faced multiple challenges including volatile prices and continuing opposition from the European Union (EU) – which could explain the need for the industry to turn to technology to assure the public of the commodity's sustainability.
Dr Sundram declined to respond to any queries regarding Malaysian palm oil's reputation or rejection by the EU, nor speculate on the commodity's future, citing 'many rapid changes taking place in response to COVID-19', but did voice hopes that the blockchain app would help make the 'realities of palm oil' clearer.
"As use of the app becomes more widespread, it will also help us close the gap between the issues of perception, allegations and the realities of palm oil," he said.

There is good, though not unexpected, news from the Federal Communications Commission. PC World and other sites and publications report that the commission is releasing a notice of proposed rulemaking intended to back the concept that carriers -- mostly cable and phone companies -- can't discriminate against the traffic that flows through their networks. The FCC also is expected to demand visibility into network management techniques and mandate provider neutrality into applications and services.
This is a controversial topic that excites great emotion on both sides, as you can see in this post from Mike Vizard here at IT Business Edge.
The news is good for everyone -- including the cable and telephone companies who will now have the demarcation between their programming and network entities clearly delineated and set as law. In the long run, they will benefit.
It is important to remember that cable operators and telcos are not private companies in the truest sense of the word. While they are private in that they are not owned by the government, their businesses are built on certain rights-such as the right to dig up streets and use telephone poles without having half of the local police force show up-that are granted to it by the regulators and government officials that represent the people. It is fair for the government to have a bit more of a say in how they do business then the neighborhood grocery store.
To their credit, cable and phone companies have parlayed these rights into multi-billion dollar industries. The quid pro quo, however, is that they must serve the public good. It is in everybody's best interest to have the rules baked into the law, which is what the FCC is trying to do.
Imagine that XYZ Cable Company won some cable franchise agreements in 1985 and created a series of networks. It aggressively signed subscribers from the homes and businesses those networks pass and eventually grew to 10 million subscribers. The did a great job, and made a lot of money. In a completely open environment, the movie channel it started in 1989 would have significant advantages over a fledgling third party provider's. Also, by bringing 10 million subscribers to the table, it would have far greater leverage with outside content providers than smaller carriers attempting to compete in the same service areas.
The bottom line is that XYZ benefits greatly from what the government has awarded it, and is only serving the due diligence to its owners by doing everything within the law to take advantage of that sweet deal.
But XYZ would not have 10 million customers without the rights initially granted to it by municipalities. Likewise, XYZ will take a portion of the money it gets from those subscribers to create better platforms and expand into new lines of business. The key is that those sleeker networks and fancy applications are the product of funds provided by subscribers who wouldn't be paying XYZ a dime if it didn't have a franchise in the first place.
The details are a bit different in the case of telephone companies, but the inescapable fact is that at the root of everything carriers do is based on the head start given to them by the government. Thus, municipalities have the right (and obligation) to demand fair treatment on behalf of the people they represent and who pay taxes.
That's where the FCC comes in. It is impossible for an entity that is both a common carrier (or quasi-common carrier) and a for-profit business to police itself simply because the legitimate goals of each side of the house are contradictory. The hands-off philosophy of marketplace self-regulation led to staggering problems in the 1930s, and this year and last. The simple reality is that what is good for shareholders and other corporate owners generally isn't good for customers or, in many cases, for the economy as a whole. In an unfettered or lightly regulated environment, decisions always will be made to serve shareholders' needs.
Some critics say that carriers will be less inclined to invest if there is a level playing field, and that this will hurt consumers.
There are two problems with this logic. The first is that there is no guarantee that carriers will stop innovating. It's just as likely that they will continue to do so (or even accelerate their investments) because their survival increasingly will depend on pleasing customers in such a newly energized environment. If XYZ doesn't improve its network, its subscribers will migrate to alternative network-such as the 4G networks that are beginning to take root. Consumers will benefit from competition regardless. It just may come from a different source.
The other fallacy is that net neutrality will end up hurting the carriers. If the FCC creates an environment in which fledgling services are more likely to thrive, perhaps the biggest benefactors (besides those services themselves) will be the network providers who distribute those services. A lot of broadband subscriptions have been sold in the United States because people like YouTube. The main difference is that subscribers' checks will be made out to the network instead of the programming arms of the the business.

It has taken me too long to visit one of the most famous football stadiums in the world considering where we have been living for the last 9 months. The Maracanã is a temple to most cariocas and home to the most popular team in Brazil, Flamengo. I had been pestering my colleagues to come join us for a game at this huge stadium (both in stature and history) for many weeks and when Pablo said he could come with us for a local derby, I was a tad excited. It turned out that Pablo had a friend working for Fluminense (another team in Rio) and he was able to sort us free tickets for the game. Free tickets make everything better.
We parked at Parque Shopping had some lunch, before taking the subway in. The carriage was filled with Flamengo supporters in their black and red stripes and the air was thick with excitement. Cariocas live for these local derbys so they can have bragging rights and create all the memes. The two teams couldn't be in a more different place right now with Flamengo on a hot streak winning their last four while Fluminense have lost their last four. The subway goes over ground and from the carriage we got our "first" look at the stadium – first look this day anyway! It was heaving with fans and a lot of touts. There were also people selling beer and snacks before the entrance.
It still seemed possible to buy tickets from the counter at this point as there was a large queue by the office. It was a real "fila da puta". We entered the stadium and were soon looking over this historic pitch. The amazing games that had taken place here including the recent world cup final gave this grass a presence. We arrived over an hour before kickoff and the stadium was already half full. People had begun their chanting and singing and the atmosphere was very different from a premier league game (especially one in the Emirates).
There wasn't really a pre-match show or anything, the players just warmed up. As the match drew closer the noise grew louder. Both sets of fans were going for it singing many booming songs at full volume and it was highly entertaining as a spectator. I learnt several new Portuguese phrases that are not suitable for work.
The game itself was a sideshow to the real entertainment for a visitor like me and Katie. The crowd were very loud and the singing and cheers were deafening and slightly intimidating when you know none of the words! It's difficult to explain but something about the stadium and experience was just very magical. I guess the history of the ground coupled with the passion of the supporters pushed the experience to a new level. What a great day, thanks a lot Pablo and your friend with the free tickets!

What's Up Beaches?!


The US Ecomony is in somewhat uncharted territory. What about your Personal Economy? How are you doing and what should be doing right now?
Low interest rates create a dilemma. Do you accept a low return because you feel you must protect your principal? Or do you take on greater investment risk in order to try for a higher return? In balancing those two concerns, here are some factors to think about.
You've probably heard the saying, "what you don't know can't hurt you," but when it comes to your finances, ignorance is not necessarily bliss. It's easy to make bad financial decisions when you lack sufficient information or you are misinformed.
If you converted your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA in 2008, before the recent market downturn, you may find that you now owe taxes on a conversion amount that's significantly higher than what your investments are now worth. If that's the case, you may find it advantageous to undo your conversion.

Digital Signal Processing is now present at nearly every area in technology. This workshop provides an introduction into the mathematics, shows practical solutions and gives useful tips and tricks.
Introduction to DSP and its applications, filtering (implementation, FIR, IIR), DFT / FFT and its applications, tips & tricks with examples and applications. How to select the right DSP team. How to organize your development project.
Basic knowledge of mathematics would be helpful, but are not mandatory.
You will need to bring your own Laptop with a Matlab installed (trial version is sufficient).
Today, application software has almost become uniformized. The presentation deals with a non typcial and non uniform method of system design, code generation and secure software development.
for machine to machine communication.
The add-on value of the method is presented by some examples illustrating the stated benefits.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) has passed the tremendous evolution. For the engineers and technology researchers who specialized DSP, as well, as for the ones who get the notion of what DSP could possible be, this workshop is structured to provide the overview of the adaptive and multirate DSP theory and practice.
The workshop will provide the theoretical knowledge, followed by application examples, source code and by demonstrations. Adaptive and multirate signal processing covers huge and large methodology and applications, which is very important to the embedded and DSP practice. Attendees should possess working knowledge of computing, programming and mathematics, and, to the certain extent of the DSP tools and algorithm test-development-implement cycle. The objective is to provide the essentials of adaptive and multirate DSP concepts and algorithms, along with practical information on the design and implementation of DSP systems.
Imaging techniques, blood pressure sensors, pacemakers: When taking measurements at the patient with high data rates, the wanted signal very often is buried fully in noise and interference. To denoise and fully extract such a signal continuously with common techniques based on matrices is a tedious and costly task and needs enormous computing power in the range of several GigaFLOPs - not available in portable applications. Simple "Plug & Play" promoted by vendors of DSP hard- and software does not work here and will not yield the desired results.
The same goal can be reached with the help of new approaches based on adaptive and multirate algorithms - with significantly less computing resources and less cost.
In this workshop the speaker will present these approaches in detail and will also look at other important aspects like hardware/software partitioning on the sytems level as well as creating and protecting intellectual property (IP) in the area of digital signal processing.
Moreover, you may get customized workshops. Please ask.

Have You Made the Turtle Trail Yet?
Chennai is home to many interesting and amazing things. Fortunately or Unfortunately, very few people know what those things are. I am not talking about having one of the longest beaches, but instead about the wild-life that we have managed to preserve, thanks to a solid group of volunteers, who keep this city imbibed with the natural aspect that this geography has been associated with.
If you aren't aware, the Turtle Trail season starts in December and Ends in February. Yep, you have roughly about 15 more days of it, if it hasnt ended already. It's always much more fun, or so I am told, anytime after January, since the turtles that have laid their eggs before start hatching and you also get to spot an occasional turtle hatchling or two while on the trail.
Edit: The turtle walking continues well into March and into April. In March they find some nests and in April its more to release the hatchlings.
Can we see these turtles at Marina/Santhome/Besant Nagar beaches?
They dont come where there is light. I hear that they usually come in the stretch between Neelankarai and Beasant Nagar. So it's quite a bit of walk – which explains why this is still untouched.
my brother has taken part in the campaign last week from his office and he told his experiences ,it was really good to see the coverage on hindu the next day.

Kanrei (管領, Kanrei) era un alt càrrec polític al Japó feudal; aquest es tradueix generalment com a ajudant del shogun o vice shogun. Després del 1337, havia realment dos Kanrei, el Kyoto Kanrei i el Kantō Kanrei.

Originalment, des 1219 i fins al 1333, el càrrec era sinònim amb el de Rokuhara Tandai, i estava instal·lat a Kyoto. El clan Hojo monopolitza aquest càrrec, i durant aquest període van controlar ambdues diputacions, - cap meridional, i cap del nord. De 1336-1367, la diputació fou anomenada Shitsuji. El primer a obtenir aquest títol va ser Ko no Moronao. En 1367, Hosokawa Yoriyuki va ser elegit per un consell a ser diputat (Kyoto Kanrei). Per assegurar la lleialtat dels seus col·legues, els clans Hatakeyama i Shiba, va proposar que tres famílies compartissin el càrrec de Kanrei, alternant a qualsevol problema es presentés. Amb això va néixer el Sant-Kan o Tres Kanrei. De totes maneres, el 1379, Les accions de Yoriyuki van provocar el ressentiment de certs senyors de gran influència, que van pressionar pel seu acomiadament. Després d'això, el Kyoto Kanrei va decidir no portar més les responsabilitats de kanrei, i simplement va realitzar els seus mandats en una posició consultiva i executiva.
