More of the Same: Bernie's Foreign Policy, Just War Theory, and International Humanitarian Law
July 1, 2016 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by clocksandcloudsau
Is Bernie really the dove that some claim?
By William Kakenmaster
The 2016 presidential race has, without a doubt, become one of the most significant electoral phenomena in recent American history. Moreover, the Islamic State (IS) poses a historic problem for candidates, and although foreign policy has not taken center stage, a quiet but vociferous debate goes on about whether the Democrats' left hand—Bernie Sanders—is more of a hawk or a dove. Sanders basically has no chance of winning the Democratic nomination, but has affected the presumptive Democratic nominee's position in significant ways. We know enough about Clinton's foreign policy history given her tenure as Secretary of State, but we know little about Sanders' positions and how they would possibly influence Clinton. Is Sanders' policy towards IS theoretically legal? If it reaches the threshold of legality, does that necessarily mean it fulfills the requirements of jus ad bellum and jus in bello? Two useful yet tragically under-utilized lenses for analyzing candidates' proposed military aggression are those of just war theory and international humanitarian law.
Just War Theory and International Humanitarian Law
International humanitarian law, sometimes called the laws of war, is a set of international legal obligations that applies to states during times of conflict and proscribes them or their agents from certain actions in order to mitigate the harmful consequences of armed conflict. Just war theory provides the legal justification for international humanitarian law, and: jus ad bellum and jus in bello. Jus ad bellum relates to states' preparatory actions for engaging in conflict before actually doing so. Jus in bello states that, whatever states' motivations, their wars must be conducted justly. Without going into too much detail, the international humanitarian legal regime takes jus ad bellum and jus in bello as given requirements of warfare—these are like constitutional principles that cannot be violated. The rights granted to states by jus ad bellum and jus in bello are the rights to (1) declare war with just cause and (2) respond to force proportionally. Jus ad bellum derives legal support from Articles 2 and 51 of the UN Charter. Jus in bello's derives legal support from the Geneva and Hague Conventions, and from customary international law. States have five minimum requirements according to just war theory. First, any just war must be waged by an internationally recognized actor, such as a state or a coalition of states, and must be announced publicly ahead of time. Second, wars must be waged with just intentions, such as the maintenance or restoration of peace. Third, states waging war must only do so if there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the war's objectives are achievable—the laws of war prohibit mass violence if nothing will likely come of it. Fourth, wars must be waged via proportional means. In other words, if one state invades and conquers another's territory, then the latter only has the right to take back what is due, not conquer more than its fair share of the former's territory. Finally, war must only be a last resort after exhausting all other, non-violent means of conflict resolution. As long as states meet these five requirements, their foreign policies are theoretically legal under a just war framework.
It is not useful to list every illegal offense in this essay, which is only concerned with Sanders' response to IS. Matters of international humanitarian law are almost never as clear-cut as deeming something legal or illegal; they depend on innumerable factors and can be justified in myriad ways by a competent lawyer. However, international humanitarian law relates to jus in bello and derives its authority from two principle legal sources. First, international humanitarian law derives support from hard sources of law in treaties like the Geneva and Hague Conventions, and other legal documents. Second, although not every state is signatory to the relevant treaties, and less have ratified the legal statutes in question, but customary law criminalizes the most severe violations of international humanitarian law. For example, drones are not explicitly banned by any international legal statute, nor are they considered inherently indiscriminate according to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). But all states going to war must satisfy the principle of distinction, meaning that they must distinguish between civilians and combatants. Drone strikes against terrorist groups like al Qaeda have a higher threshold for distinction because it is not always clear whether the target is a combatant or not. This means that tactics like signature strikes, for example, are "clearly unlawful," at least according to the UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary, or Arbitrary Executions Christof Heyns.
Sanders' Foreign Policy
During the first Democratic debate, Sanders said, "I am not a pacifist […] I support airstrikes in Syria and what the president is trying to do." Sanders has also shown himself wary of deploying boots on the ground. And he has even called the situation in Syria "a quagmire in a quagmire," claiming to "make sure that the United States does not get involved […] like we did in Iraq, the worst foreign policy blunder in the history of this country." So, if he sticks to his campaign promises, we can expect that Sanders likely will not support boots on the ground, opting instead for airstrikes and a coalition of Middle Eastern nations to combat IS—a policy the Senator first supported in 2014.
So, would Sanders' proposed airstrike-coalition plan comply with the laws of war, and would they adhere to just war theory? On the first question, maybe. On the second, no.
Few would dispute that fighting IS sufficiently constitutes a just cause, especially if the belligerent nations include those most proximate (e.g., the hypothetical members of Sanders' proposed coalition) and those whose citizens were killed by IS members, not just those who would be indirectly threatened (e.g., the U.S., France, and other victims of IS attacks). Barring more cynical theories that the IS was created by the West in order to justify intervention, going to war because your people have been beheaded or blown up in terrorist attacks does not represent a war of aggression, even if they may do harm to the region. Moreover, Obama's announcement that his administration will "degrade and ultimately destroy" IS could reasonably count as a public declaration of war by an internationally recognized actor: the United States. What remains is to provide sufficient evidence that military operations are (1) the last resort and (2) likely to achieve the war's objective. As long as Sanders sticks to his belief that "unilateral military action should be a last resort" and proffers a solution that will likely "degrade and destroy" IS, he has satisfied jus ad bellum.
Sanders' plan does not fulfill jus in bello, however. Considering that drones are not inherently illegal, but must satisfy the principle of distinction, airstrikes comply with the law only to the unlikely extent that military leaders refrain from signature strikes and other, similar indiscriminate tactics. If, however, the military did not refrain from indiscriminate attacks à la Obama administration, the types of attacks Sanders only says are "counter-effective," then the drone policy would violate the principle of distinction. The U.S. has not ratified Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions—the protocol officially codifying distinction—but the ICRC considers distinction distinguishing between civilians and combatants part of customary law, or "general practice accepted as law" and independent of treaties. Furthermore, assembling a coalition of Middle Eastern states might relieve the U.S. of any legal responsibility for wars of aggression—whether or not the coalition's actions would violate the laws of war is beyond this essay. However, if the U.S. knowingly provides funding, weapons, or training to the hypothetical coalition and the latter subsequently violates any international humanitarian law, a case could be made for the U.S.'s complicity. Lastly, if the Senator's plans include indefinitely and illegally detaining prisoners at Guantánamo Bay—or any other military prison for that matter—and employing enhanced interrogation methods with the purpose of discovering information about IS, then the plan's detention strategy would violate international humanitarian law. In the abstract, Sanders' vagueness puts his IS plan in the clear. But as a strategic campaign maneuver, it leaves open the possibility of violating the law when the situation supposedly calls for it. As Sanders described himself, "I am not a pacifist."
Significant evidence suggests that drone strikes—arguably the centerpiece of Obama's and Sanders' plans—engender anti-American sentiment and support for IS. According to a public letter written by four Air Force service members with more than 20 years of experience between then, mistakes that result from the drone program, such as the killing of civilians and U.S. citizens "fueled the feelings of hatred that ignited terrorism and groups like [IS], while also serving as a fundamental recruitment tool similar to Guantánamo Bay." The number of drone strikes sharply increased under Obama, which Sanders considers "constitutional and legal." Therefore, Sanders faces an uphill battle to prove that continuing airstrikes will likely achieve the war's objectives, and that his IS policy will comply with international humanitarian law's jus in bello requirements.
As with any election, foreign policy has taken a back seat to important questions such as what to do with the economy, and this is no more evident than in Sanders' campaign. However, all candidates' policies towards IS represent no less important questions. Sanders can easily justify waging war against IS, thus fulfilling jus ad bellum, however his plan's strong support for drone strikes sends it into questionable legal territory under the best circumstances, and frankly illegal territory under the worst circumstances. Insofar as it might comply with the law and established principles of justice in international relations, we might accept it as a legitimate plan, but the vagueness with which it has thus far been proffered do more for leaving open the possibility of omission of the U.S.'s legal obligations than to assuage any concerns over its illegality.

Review by Vicky A. Clark-
"On Common Ground: Works on Paper" at the Strohl Art Center, curated by the Susan and John Turben Director of VACI Galleries Judy Barie, shows how the medium of drawing has changed.
Traditionally, drawings were used as preliminary sketches for more formal works, but some artists had such a deft hand and rendered the smallest details so perfectly that a drawing looked like a finished work. Someone like Albrecht Dürer could capture the most detailed world in his prints, utilizing hidden symbols to add meaning to his mostly religious subjects. Leonardo da Vinci, in contrast, filled notebooks with ideas for inventions, drawings of human anatomy, and quick studies of nature. Centuries later, artists like Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres continued to produce highly detailed portraits, but some, like Henri Matisse, experimented with new methods, landing on his famous paper cutouts when his physical situation deteriorated so much that he couldn't continue to paint. The definition of drawing continues to expand with artists using new methods and techniques such as fiber or videotape. Tree branches can be used as a drawing tool or as components of the composition. From preliminary study to scientific rendering to abstract composition, works on paper have captivated viewers for centuries.
While many historic drawings were never meant to be framed and shown in a museum, things have shifted substantially in the modern era with some artists only producing drawings. Additionally, artists have increased the size of their work and have been experimenting with new materials. Sometimes the final product is a cross between drawing and photography, painting, sculpture, and even film.
Brenda Stumpf makes mixed-media works by adding a variety of materials to her surface, creating, ironically, a texture that resembles layers found at excavation or archaeological sites. Her most recent work has been influenced by her new house, an old church that she is restoring. In "Revelation" and "Invocation," steel beams replace paper as a surface, adding to the architectural and structural grounding. Stumpf then produces a light-filled, scumbled ground that evokes the mystical and the sacred, in both places and people, with traces of histories, stories and states of being in her combination of real and imagined worlds. Her work could be considered maps that have moved far beyond geography. Her aesthetic and conceptual combinations can also be seen in her sculpture, including "To the Unknown" that is included in the "Small Sculptures: Big Impact" show.
A similar interest in enriching the surface, adding texture and depth, is a characteristic of the work by Bridget Quirk. She, however, uses kitschy materials, most notably fake hair, to animate her colorful portraits. Collage became popular in the early 20th century, as artists began to flatten their picture plane, fracturing objects into intersecting planes to create spatial confusion. Soon, that deconstruction included content as well, with an accumulation of symbols or disparate items that create a personal iconography. Using such a variety of materials — pastel, acrylic, hair, colored pencil and magazine cutouts — Quirk enhances the spatial inconsistencies as her cast of characters seem slightly out of sorts, broken down into parts and then pieced back together. The eyes, clipped from magazines, add a disconcerting touch of realism, and we are left with more questions than answers about her subjects' identities. Although based on photographs of important people in her life, they seem like sketches for idiosyncratic players in the theater of the absurd, anime or video games, or perhaps people featured in Saturday morning cartoons.
An artist whose work relates well to Quirk's is Su Su, who emigrated from Beijing to Pittsburgh, in 2011. Like many transplants, she views the world through a bifurcated lens, and she channels her interests in intersections, juxtapositions and disconnects into her paintings where she experiments with complex, often disjointed, compositions as well as new painting materials. For this show, she contributed three paintings on paper of pop culture icons, Cary Grant, Mr. Rogers and Humphrey Bogart. Restricting her palette to an eerie bluish/gray-like sepia, stretching and distorting her faces like visual effects artists or English artist Francis Bacon, she presents a radically different interpretation of these men. They have been put through a blender and then placed in front of a funhouse mirror, perhaps to star in an episode of "The Twilight Zone" or some sci-fi, shape-shifting adventure.
Working in a very different way is Nathan Heuer, whose extremely precise drawings make viewers question whether he is depicting real or imagined buildings. They have the same double-take effect of Claes Oldenburg's proposed monuments that ranged from a toilet bowl float in River Thames, to a teddy bear in Central Park. Heuer's "Next Year's Remodel" features a series of brick buildings in a state of disrepair. Are we looking at urban decay or the beginning of new dwellings? Creative reuse is a recurring theme here. Heuer gives us a schematic rendering of a semi, but upon closer examination, there is an incongruous air conditioner on the roof. In fact, this piece records a repurposed rig retrofitted as an office/store in order to sell shrimp. The artist also follows in the footsteps of Giovanni Battista Piranesi, whose exquisite, mind-blowing architectural prints record both existing and imaginary structures.
Despite the differences in the work of these artists, they share an interest in an in-between space that exists somewhere between dream and quotidian, imagined and real. They all make the ordinary, extraordinary, in ways that evoke ideas of stranger than fiction, more real than real, and imagined fantasies. Their content, like their technique, has blown open the parameters of drawings with a freshness and excitement.

Coldwell Banker Commercial Alliance opens Fort Worth office
Coldwell Banker Commercial Alliance DFW cut the ribbon in April on a new office in Fort Worth.
"We are looking forward to more day-to-day exposure with an office closer to the Central Business District and the synergies that define Fort Worth in the commercial real estate marketplace," said Theron Bryant, principal of CBCA DFW and the new office's leader, commenting in a news release.
The new office is located on the third floor of University Centre I at 1300 S. University Drive. Joining Bryant in the rollout is Casey Tounget, associate, and Lindsay Davoudian, administrative assistant.
The full-service brokerage's headquarters will remain in Arlington, but managing principal Gary Walker said the firm has considered Fort Worth and Dallas for additional offices.
"With Theron's experience and success in Fort Worth, it only made sense to open in that market first," said Paul VanDevender, executive vice president of operations for CBCA's corporate office in New York.
"We hope to ramp up to add quality agents in the Fort Worth office. At the same time, we will be focused on building a Dallas operation as well," VanDevender said.

Who is Mike Conley to disagree with Kanye West?
Conley, the three-time state champion at Lawrence North High School who is entering his 11th season with the Memphis Grizzlies, recently recalled an odd phone call he received in the middle of the night from West.
"Yeah, this is Ye," Conley recalled the conversation starting.
Conley, who this week celebrated his 30th birthday, said West invited him to hang out in Los Angeles and also showered him with compliments.
"I just wanted you to know I admire you," Conley said West told him. "I really like what you do. I hate to see that you're underrated."
"He actually watches me play. ... He knows a lot about me."
West -- who is known to have an opinion on just about everything -- is right on this one.
Conley is one of the NBA's best players never to make the All-Star team. He averaged a career-best 20.5 points per game last season, is steady as a playmaker and also defends well. He has a Grizzlies franchise record 10,050 points.
Conley was more than willing to agree with Yeezy.
"I'm with you," Conley said with a chuckle. "What can we do? Help me."
Conley mentioned that he makes music and that perhaps he and West could collaborate.

What I think: Stick to your day job :-) Not because you're a bad journalist; it's because of how much time you've invested in your day job as compared to the time you've invested in journalism.
I do enjoy the writing, but I don't like the way people react when they hear it (in an official capacity anyway).
I enjoy my day job far too much to ever let it go.

RAFAH, Egypt -- In its first public criticism of Gaza's Hamas rulers, Egypt complained Saturday of "provocations" during the Gaza-Egypt border crisis and said more than three dozen members of its security forces were hospitalized as a result.
The border, which was initially breached by Hamas militants, remained open for a fourth day, though Egyptian security forces blocked Gazans from driving beyond the border town of Rafah itself.
Egyptian border guards were now authorized to return fire if attacked, said a security official speaking on customary condition of anonymity on the Egyptian side of Rafah. Over the past two days, 38 Egyptian security forces have been wounded -- some seriously -- after Palestinians hurled stones and shot at them at the border, Egypt's foreign minister said.
"These provocations cause us concern and our Palestinian brothers should note that the Egyptian decision to host them and ease their suffering should not result in threats to the lives of our sons in the Egyptian forces," Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit told reporters after an emergency meeting in Cairo.
Israel, meanwhile, has expressed growing concern about the possible influx of Palestinian militants into areas of Egypt that border Israel. The Israeli military announced Saturday that its troops were on heightened alert along the border with Egypt, and that an Israeli road and tourism sites in the area are temporarily closed.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas were to meet in Jerusalem on Sunday, and the border crisis was sure to be discussed.
Aboul Gheit said the decision to keep the border open stands, but Egyptian forces stopped Palestinian cars from proceeding any further into the Sinai Peninsula after Rafah.

Label Text: Azechi was one of the Japanese artists to find success after World War II with a resurgence in the West's appreciation of Japanese woodcuts. It was during this period that his style solidified into his characteristic angular figures printed in bold colors. His subjects are most often drawn from the sights and folk customs of his native mountains—snowmen, mountaineers and birds. There is a haunting but also playful quality to the eyes and the solidity of his figures that always enchants. A mountaineer himself, his love of the outdoors and the simple life shine through.
The new Japanese printmakers came to the fore in the 1950s at the prestigious print exhibitions held in São Paulo, Brazil, where they garnered many of the top prizes, much to the surprise of the international competition. In stark contrast to the traditional ukiyo-e woodcuts, these new prints are simpler but more direct, with each step engineered by the artist himself, without the aid of a block cutter and master printer.

Twitter's India head Rishi Jaitly has called it the "Twitter election." Indeed, according to the social media company's own data, 56 million tweets were sent about India's elections between January 1 and May 12, when the polls closed, with an estimated total reach (including tweets, retweets, and quotes) of 267 billion.
The heat map below shows how India (and the world) tweeted since the beginning of the year—each color refers to the mention of one of the three major candidates: Arvind Kejriwal (green), Rahul Gandhi (blue), and the runaway winner of the race, Narendra Modi (orange).
While there was a certain balance between the occurrence of the three candidates in the earlier stages of the campaign, there is a net increment of tweets mentioning Narendra Modi, reflected in the progressively more orange coloring of the heat spots.
The direct comparison between volumes of tweets mentioning the different parties shows a similar movement: from a somewhat even distribution—particularly in the mid phases of the campaign between January 28 and March 3, before Kejriwal started his road show in Gujarat and his live Facebook talk—but the BJP took over in the final stages of the campaign.
Something more interesting happens when looking specifically for the tweets related to the leader, as opposite to the party. While the overall volume of tweets mentioning Modi is comparable to those mentioning his main opponent, Rahul Gandhi, the Congress candidate's peaks are notable particularly early in the campaign—the main one being on January 27, when "Rahul Gandhi" was mentioned 99,569 times.
Notably, however, Rahul Gandhi doesn't seem able to capitalize on the interest, arguably given his direct absence from Twitter: the leader of the Congress does not have a handle, unlike his adversaries @NarendraModi and @ArvindKejriwal.
Modi's predominance appears more clearly by comparing the occurrence of his name in election-related tweets versus other names and relevant search terms.
This is especially evident looking at the percentage of overall tweets about the election—Modi-related tweets are 20 percent of the total.
The little master's tweet was retweeted 4,891 times, while the infamous "selfie with Modi" was retweeted 3,751 times.
As a comparison, the most retweeted post by Arvind Kejriwal was shared 2,004 times.
This is not to say, however, that Modi won the Internet, or Twitter. In absolute numbers he is certainly the predominant presence, but the performance of the AAP and Kejriwal is nevertheless outstanding: from 310,392 followers on January 1 to 678,934 on May 12, the @AamAadmiParty grew 119 percent, and @ArvindKejriwal grew 79 percent, going from 310,392 followers on January 1 to 678,934 on May 12. Narendra Modi's account, by comparison, only grew 28 percent in the same period of time.
The party that grew the most on Twitter, however, is the Indian National Congress: Its Twitter handle, @INCIndia, went from 37,357 followers on January 1 to 177,637 on May 12, with an increase of 376 percent. This data, while somewhat impressive, shows a party that's far behind its opponents when it comes to social media, and possibly only capitalized by the general interest generated by the election. None of the 10 most-retweeted tweets are INC-related.

If you follow me on Instagram you know that I don't really believe in resolutions. I don't think you need a holiday to change your life. If it's New Years Day or the middle of July, the day your perspective changes, you change.
With that being said I do find something invigorating about a new year. I try to carve out some time in those first few days to reflect on the year past and where my goals will take me in the future. I think goal setting is important for work, for life, and for self growth.
Each year my husband and I carry on a tradition we started many years ago. Before we were married a coworker suggested a new form of goal setting.
We write a letter to ourselves for the year ahead. One that we write on New Years Day to ourselves on New Years Day a year from now. The letter goes into our Christmas decorations box and when I start decorating the next year I keep it in a drawer until we open them on New Years Day. It can be as long or as short as we would like. In our letters we talk about the past year and all that we accomplished, exciting events, and even hard times. We talk about where we are right now. Our thoughts about personal growth, our family, where we would like to be as we sit and write our new letter a year from now.
Its so interesting to read our letters from the year before and to see how much has changed. Not only how our life has changed but also our perspective. Especially in the last few years, since our kids have been born, our letters focus a lot less on us and a lot more on them. As I sat a wrote the letter for myself to open next year I couldn't help but notice that a majority of what I wanted for the year to come was to be a better mother for my girls.
I went out on a search to find any resource to help me become that mother. I don't believe you need to be in a bad place to look for help. Maybe you want to empower yourself to do better and you just need guidance on which way to go or maybe you are struggling and you need someone to rejuvenate you and give you insight on what might help. Either way I think each and every one of us could use some encouragement, to help us become better parents or maybe to let us know we are actually doing better than we thought we were.
I feel so blessed to have met Courtney and Jenny of Confident Parent Coaching. Their name is extremely fitting because they want to do just that, help you become a confident parent. They provide you with the tools to help make your relationship with your kids stronger and your kids happier. We all know that parenting can have beautiful days and then those really dark days can creep in too. How nice would it be to have a support during those really hard times? Sometimes what we need is a fresh perspective, some new ideas and encouragement that we can be the parents we strive to be for our children. Courtney and Jenny can offer just that.
My husband and I scheduled a call with Confident Parent Coaching and we were extremely pleased with how easy it was to schedule and how accommodating they were. We scheduled an hour with them and the time flew by. They were full of practical ideas and easy ways to implement them. There wasn't just generalizations, they gave REAL advice for current situations we were struggling with.
I had opened up to them about how dinner time was a real struggle for us. The girls not eating, just wanting to get up and play and then an hour later saying they were hungry. Jenny and Courtney suggested we use a timer to encourage them to stay seated. When the timer went off they could get up and do what they would like to do, but until then they had to stay seated and continue to eat their dinner. It sounds so simple but it really worked. My oldest really responded to this technique so I started to implement the timer into other parts of our day like getting dressed and picking up toys. I really think this helped her feel empowered as well, she focused less on what task mommy wanted her to do and more on what she could choose when the timer went off.
Our call was filled with so many great tips like this one. I really felt like they listened to our needs and tailored a plan specifically for us. At one point in the call Courtney said something that really struck a cord with me, "it seems like there is a lot of pressure on Diana". This opened my eyes. It wasn't pressure anyone else was putting on me but the pressure I was putting on myself. Since then I have really tried to let go more, to embrace the happy moments and realize that I am not perfect and I don't expect my kids to be perfect as well.
Overall this call helped us realize that we are doing a great job. Yes we want to do better and have stronger relationships with our kids but overall we are doing just fine. During the call they said "Rules without relationship is rebellion" and I hope to repeat this to myself everyday. More than anything I want to build a strong bond with my children with love and respect. That doesn't mean I am going to let them do whatever they want, we will have confident and clear rules, and I am going to focus on connecting with my kids and listening to them a whole lot more while I implement them.
Next New Years Day, when I open up my letter, I hope to see that I achieved all of my parenting goals. Most importantly I want to look back and see how these small changes, and a lot of love, made us all so much happier.

DC Police Threaten And Detain Reporters At CPAC Occupy Protest
By Tommy ChristopherFeb 11th, 2012, 2:27 pm
At Washington DC's Marriott Wardman Park Hotel last night, one of several Occupy DC protests escalated into a clash with Metro Police, as a group of more than a hundred protesters made their way onto the grounds of the hotel, the site of the Conservative Political Action Conference. The police, in part of a disturbing pattern, used force and threats of arrest to keep reporters away, and even detained at least one credentialed CPAC blogger.
The Occupy protesters took several shots at disrupting CPAC yesterday. They tried to advance onto the hotel grounds in the afternoon, but were turned away by a small contingent of police, who, at that time, threatened to arrest Slate reporter Dave Weigel. Shortly thereafter, a group of protesters made it all the way into the hotel, and were promptly escorted off the grounds.
Then, at around 7pm Friday night, a group of well over a hundred Occupy protesters marched on a rear entrance to the Marriott Wardman. I was waiting around at the McDonald's for a friend of mine to meet me for dinner, when I saw police vehicles racing down Connecticut Ave., turning up 24th to that rear entrance, and three or four policemen tore past me on foot, so I grabbed my camera and followed.
There were dozens of police there, lots of screaming, sounds of struggle, and chanting, and as I tried to get a shot of what was happening in that thick cluster of police, I was grabbed on the shoulder and thrown back by a DC policeman, who shouted, "Stay off my officers!"
I circled around to try a different angle (I was one of several reporters on the scene) when the same officer grabbed me again, pushed me away, and threatened to arrest me if I continued. One benefit of years of experience is that I knew better than to ask "For what?" since asking "For what" is one of many "reasons" people get arrested. The truth is, they don't need a reason to arrest you, they only need a reason if they want it to stick. Also, I was too tired and hungry to go to jail, so I complied.
One of the CPAC bloggers (featured in the video below), a middle-aged woman who took exception to the police's treatment of journalists, wasn't so lucky. As I left the scene, I saw her cuffed and being taken into custody, protesting loudly.
Ironically, that appears to have been the only arrest. When asked Saturday morning, a DC Metro Police spokesman said there was one arrest, a female (presumably the same one I saw), for "assault on a police officer."
She had complained earlier about being pushed and shoved around by police, so it is possible that she either unwisely decided to push back at some point, or that she reflexively resisted being manhandled. The police were unable to provide any further detail.
At one point in the video I shot, another police officer pleads with CPAC hecklers to go away, because they were making his job harder. That was a reasonable request, reasonably put, but it illustrates the tension between the press and police at these events. The police are doing their jobs, and so are reporters. We respect the job that the police have to do, but increasingly, they don't seem to respect the job we have to do, or the constitutional protections we're supposed to enjoy while doing it. That this occurred in Washington, DC, where police are normally more attuned to this kind of conflict, is doubly disturbing.
Here's video of the incident, including a shot of the woman who was arrested:

Your sales pitch is a critical component in selling a product. Since you may only get one opportunity to talk to a customer before their purchase, it is imperative that you communicate effectively.... 25/08/2011 · I agree with tapeworm... but I try to list normally at a very fair price and I reply with the "price listed" response. If they want to negotiate they can, but I know what things are selling for similar to my item and try to price in a competitive manner.
On the other hand, let's say you're a site like Match.com. Sure, you can "sell" your site to any single person over 18 that's single, but that's going to get VERY expensive. You'll spend an insane amount of money on under converting demographics. You need to learn to qualify demographically. A more extreme example of this would be a totally new communication service, like Twitter... Therefore, the word "something" is more impactful and engaging than a more specific term like "cell phone service." Conclusion Catchy sale phrases can help to power up your business writing, but be careful not to use them as a crutch.
How do you sell something to someone that just say no?
For example, selling someone on the idea that they will appear more cultural and prestigious when guests walk into their home and see art on their walls, or sell them on the experience they'll feel every time they look at their art… that sort of thing.

Asteridae is een botanische naam in de rang van onderklasse: de naam is gevormd uit de familienaam Asteraceae. In het Cronquist-systeem van 1981 wordt de naam gebruikt voor een van de zes hoofdgroepen van wat Cronquist de Magnoliopsida noemt, de Tweezaadlobbigen, die ook wel Dicotyledones heten. De beschrijving:

Planten in een of meer opzichten meer geavanceerd dan de Magnoliidae; stuifmeelkorrels triaperturtaat (met 3 openingen) of hiervan afgeleid, zaadlobben niet meer dan twee, meeldraden niet bandvormig, gewoonlijk met duidelijke helmknop en -draad, planten produceren zelden benzylisoquinoline of aporfine alkaloïden, wel vaak andere alkaloïden, looistoffen, betalaïnes, mosterdoliën of iridoïde bestanddelen.
Bloemen gewoonlijk goed ontwikkeld en met duidelijk bloemdek, indien dit niet het geval is, gegroepeerd in tweeslachtige pseudanthia of met vele zaden op wandstandige placenta's, zelden met alle kenmerken van de Hamamelidae zoals boven beschreven, pollenkorrels met gevarieerde architectuurtypes, zelden echter met porie of korrelvormige infrastructuur.
Bloemen vergroeidbladig (zelden losse bloembekleedsels of zonder bloembekleedsels), meeldraden gewoonlijk even veel als kroonslippen of minder, nooit tegenover de kroonslippen staande, zaadknoppen unitegmisch (1 integument) en tenuinucellair (enkele laag cellen in de nucellus), vaak met een integumentair tapetum, vruchtbladen gewoonlijk 2, zelden 3-5 of meer, planten zelden met looistoffen, nooit met betalaïnes of mosterdoliën, vaak met iridoïde inhoudstoffen en verscheidene soorten afweerstoffen.

De samenstelling (1981) is de volgende:
 onderklasse Asteridae
 orde Asterales
 orde Callitrichales
 orde Campanulales
 orde Dipsacales
 orde Gentianales
 orde Lamiales
 orde Plantaginales
 orde Rubiales
 orde Scrophulariales
 orde Solanales

De 22e druk van de Heukels' Flora van Nederland, 1996, volgt ook Cronquist (of liever een licht aangepaste versie van dit systeem). Daar zijn de onderklassen een rang terug gezet en superorden geworden: deze groep heet dan de superorde Asteriflorae.

De 23ste druk van de Heukels, 2005, gebruikt echter het APG II-systeem (of liever een licht aangepaste versie van dit systeem) en daarin bestaat deze groep niet. De planten uit deze groep worden daar geplaatst in de Asteriden.

Daarentegen gebruikt Mabberley's Plant-book (2008) deze naam Asteridae juist voor deze Asteriden.

Ook onder de PhyloCode wordt Asteridae (dan wel /Asteridae) de naam voor die groep (te weten de Asteriden), als de PhyloCode ooit in werking treedt, maar dit is dan geen botanische naam, en de naam heeft geen rang: het is dan de clade /Asteridae.

«Беседа любителей русского слова» — литературное общество, образовавшееся в Петербурге в 1811 году.

Во главе этого общества стояли Г. Р. Державин и А. С. Шишков. К нему принадлежали также С. А. Ширинский-Шихматов, Д. И. Хвостов, А. А. Шаховской, И. С. Захаров и другие. Они придерживались консервативных взглядов, являясь эпигонами классицизма, выступая против распространения иностранных слов в русском языке и за сохранение славянской лингвистики. Выступали против реформы литературного языка, проводившейся сторонниками Н. М. Карамзина. «Беседа любителей русского слова» отражала те взгляды на развитие русского литературного языка, которых придерживались «старшие архаисты». Таким образом, главными оппонентами «Беседы…» являлись «карамзинисты», позже оформившиеся в общество «Арзамас», которые осмеивали деятельность «Беседы».

В «Беседу» входили также Н. И. Гнедич и И. А. Крылов, отстаивавшие, в противовес Карамзину и сторонникам сентиментализма, национально-демократические традиции в развитии русского литературного языка, гражданский и демократический пафос в поэзии. Этим определялась ориентация именно на «Беседу» писателей декабристского направления, в том числе А. С. Грибоедова, П. А. Катенина, В. Ф. Раевского и других.

Первое заседание состоялось в доме Державина 14 марта 1811 года.

«Беседа любителей русского слова» распалась после смерти Державина в 1816 году.

The land of Prospect Hill Orchards has been in the Clarke family for nearly 200 years! In fact, the Pick Your Own cherry and apple orchards are part of the original homestead of Nathaniel Clarke. Nathaniel and his bride, moved from Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY to Milton, NY in 1817. The original 55 acre farm began as a general farm including a kitchen garden, fruits, vegetables and animals, and was a self-sustaining homestead.
The hills and soil around Milton were just right for fruit growing. The high hills protected the trees and crops from frost damage in the spring. The rich gravelly loam soil was perfect for fruit trees and berries. In the early years, small fruits like strawberries, raspberries, and currants were grown. By 1830, fruits were picked in the morning and delivered to the Milton dock by mid afternoon to be loaded on the night boats sailing down the Hudson River to New York City. The river was an integral part of the success of the fruit industry in the Hudson Valley. Gradually, the tree fruits: cherries, peaches, pears and apples became the primary crop of the area. By the 1930's the Hudson Valley was famous for its apple orchards. Today things are much the same. We still rely on the river and the hills to moderate the weather patterns, we enrich the good soils to keep the crops growing well, and we send some of our produce to NYC.
Prospect Hill Orchards is still a family farm. The sixth and seventh generations of Clarkes are now farming the land. Today, modern equipment and modern growing methods are used. Steve and his son Brad are the principle growers. They plant dwarf trees to increase orchard efficiency. Old favorites such as Golden Delicious and Macoun as well as newer varieties like Fuji and Gala are grown. Fruits are cared for under a low-spray program called IPM, Integrated Pest Management. When our daughter Pamela decided to return to the farm, she began marketing through the NYC Greenmarket system. She and husband Robert Torres have focused on growing small fruits and creating new products to enhance their market display.
