Justified Violence: Breaking the Gaza Wall
February 11, 2008 Issue
The breaking of the Gaza-Egypt wall is clearly a good thing, and a rare example of the moral--and also wise--use of violence in politics.
By Allan Nairn
Most all political violence consists of clear wrongs, like murder or unjustified war, but sometimes, sadly, disgustingly, some violence is justified as a last resort, and sometimes–as a subcategory of that–some of that justified violence is also wise, tactically.
Once you get far outside the murder and the crimes of war and those against humanity, some of the choices regarding whether or not to use some violence can be legitimately tough and debatable.
But the Gaza wall-breaking was an easy call: no people were killed, some may have been saved, and the spectacle of an exodus into Egypt effectively dramatized a gross injustice.
It's ironic that this was apparently done–its not yet clear from what level–by or with some Hamas people, since that's a movement that has, in its bombings of Israeli civilians, been immoral, criminal and tactically stupid, turning the oppressed into oppressors, in many eyes, and turning some victims into actual murderers.
But this use of violence–against mere bricks in a wall–was right and a stroke of genius. The legend of all-knowing Israeli intelligence notwithstanding, some of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces)/Shin Bet/ Mossad/Cabinet killers must have been stunned, and temporarily shaken.
This was, after all, the first big, smart Palestinian move since the David and Goliath stone intifada, which pitted mere stone-throwing teenagers against Israeli tanks and body-armored soldiers, and exposed the Occupation, twenty years ago, putting Israel's regime on the defensive. (Not that it lasted long enough to produce results. The Peace Laureates Rabin and Arafat killed it; Rabin with knee-breaking–"force, might, and beatings" was his order, which, for a while, made Israel look still worse, but then Arafat shut the teen Davids down since they were winning without his approval).
The poor editorial page of the Washington Post was clearly stunned and shaken by this wall breach in Gaza.
They were reduced to accusing Hamas of "exploit[ing] [Israel's] temporary shutdown of fuel supplies"–i.e., by telling people about it (aren't newspapers supposed to encourage that?), and were cornered into the unfortunate position–if one accepts their logic–of seeming to support the denial of rights to Darfur refugees.
The Post asked rhetorically: "Would Mr. Mubarak allow tens of thousands of Darfur refugees to illegally enter Egypt from Sudan, where a real humanitarian crisis is underway?," the expected answer from the reader being a realistic, shameful (for Mubarak) "No," and then demanded that Mubarak apply exactly that shameful standard by likewise barring uninvited Gazans.
So in order to keep the Palestinians out (or, more precisely, keep them cooped-in), you seem willing to bar the Darfuris too?
When you reach for arguments like that, it's a sign that your side's case is in trouble.
So what would happen if some Palestinians decided to break the West Bank wall, too? Say, tens of thousands of teens one morning, at dawn, turning up with picks and crowbars?
Would the IDF destroy people to save concrete?
Quite possibly.
They feel entitled.
As then-Justice Minister Haim Ramon put it, "We have the right to destroy everything," and though he was talking about Lebanon '06 (final rough tallies: 1,000 Lebanese civilians killed, forty Israeli civilians, and 4 million mainly US cluster bomblets scattered by IDF in southern Lebanon), he could have been articulating the broad moral/criminal law philosophy of today's Israeli/US establishments, and–when it comes to Israel–much of today's Israeli/US society.
But if they did, if they opened fire, Israel-Palestine history would begin anew, and though many Palestinians would die, as usual, this time they might not die in vain, since many in the world–including the United States–would see who's oppressing whom.
Incidentally, Israel's leading newspaper, Ha'aretz, recently carried an airtight critique of the security rationale behind the vast complex of barriers that seal-in West Bank villages–a complex of which the wall is only the final, tallest, manifestation.
The stated reasons for these barriers, that divert and slow Palestinians, making them fade and die in ambulances, is that they keep suicide/homicide bombers from attacking, in and of itself, a good objective.
But Ha'aretz reporters found that, incredibly, 475 of 572 roadblocks were unmanned, and then posed the logically clinching questions: What? Suicide bombers can't get through here? They're not willing to step over the unmanned barriers that stop ordinary people (and ambulances)?
The Ha'aretz analyst reached the reasonable conclusion that the sealing-in has a different function:
Is it seriously contended by anyone that a mound of earth, a ditch or a series of concrete blocks can stop terrorists from moving around? Do these barriers serve any function other than embittering the lives of the Palestinians? The sick and the elderly, pregnant women and people carrying shopping baskets undoubtedly find it more difficult to get in and out of their barricaded towns and villages. Indeed both B'Tselem and the organization Physicians for Human Rights have documented cases of sick people being unable to receive treatment because they couldn't reach their doctors or clinics–while anybody planning a terrorist attack can easily clamber over the mounds, traverse the ditches or circumvent the blocks…
"Nobody I've spoken with," continued the writer, Daniel Gavron,
has a convincing military explanation for the unmanned roadblocks. In fact, people familiar with Israeli military thinking have convinced me that the main object of these barriers is to fragment the territory, effectively preempting the "contiguous Palestinian state" recently touted by U.S. President George Bush. Nothing I have heard has convinced me that the unmanned roadblocks increase the security of Israelis in Israel, or even of the Jewish settlers in the territories.
And as the veteran Israeli correspondent Amira Hass points out, there seem to be other, non-barrier/wall, factors behind the recent decline in bombings–that is, bombings by walking Palestinians; bombings by flying Israelis have increased. (Hass notes that some Palestinians, desperate for work, slip the wall into Israel daily. If they can do it, so could suicide bombers, if they personally or politically wanted to).
And, at any rate, the settlers and the Occupation are illegal, as is the wall, according to the World Court–and not surprisingly, the Palestinians are justly unhappy with them all, so the best security solution is to simply remove them.
But the Israeli regime seems to want perpetual war tension. It now sustains their political culture.
That's fine. They can want whatever they want.
But they don't have the right to impose it.
And neither do the Palestinians, of course. They just have the right to their rights.
And since one of them is to have that illegal wall breached, and Mr. Olmert doesn't want to do it, maybe some Palestinian teens can do it for him.
He can meet them at the wall, at dawn.
Tell him to bring a pick.

Weekend Wrap – 9th November
A tough weekend for the Tigers in the sweltering heat saw just 1 win and 3 losses.
6th Grade did their best to defend their 107 from last week, but a defiant 4 hour knock for 61 from their Captain saw Phoenix post 147 and take the win. Great bowling from Jodat Malik 4/28, Gursewak Singh 2/39 and Vijay Kumar 2/11. Batting a second time the Tigers scored 4/44 from 9 overs with Vijay Kumar making 22. Lets bounce back next week boys!
7th Grade had already won on first innings last week so were looking to pile on the runs again, which they did, making 8/183 before declaring. Dempsey Badorek retired not out on 50 allowing Jack Robb to come in and smash 55 with 2 sixes and 7 fours. Earlier Matt Pedulla continued his form with 22 before being run out. Jandakot batted a second time losing no wickets for 47. A great couple of wins on the trot from the Tigers has them in the four.
ODD were sent into bat and must have suffered from the heat as they were bowled out for just 85 from 27 overs, Buddika 16 and Manu 12 were the only ones to double figures. Riverton passed the score with no loss, finally posting 171. Manu Pathinaike 4/30 and Irosh Ranathunga 3/29 were the best of our bowlers. I'm sure the boys will lift their game next week!
ODG travelled to Thornlie and suffered their first loss of the season. It was probably a kick in the pants we needed. Sending the opposition in we dropped vital catches off their opener who ended up making 63 out of their total of 138 which was the difference in the end. Aaron Dyer was at his brilliant best again with the ball taking his second 5 for in a row, with 5/33 and great back up from Steve Ambler 2/23 and Connor McGinty 2/8. We were looking the goods after 10 overs at 1/50 when we lost the big wicket of Stewie Riseley for 31 and then Della for 30. A steady stream of wickets followed but Azza started smashing the boundaries and at 7/112 and 5 overs still to go were still a chance. But it wasn't to be, all out for 113 and a big loss. We will look to lift our game and our spirits next week vs Forrestdale.
Milestones for the Tigers
Vijay Kumar passed 4000 runs for the Tigers on Saturday, making him just the 11th Tiger to pass that milestone. Vijay is playing in his 9th season after making his debut in 2009/10 and has notched up 163 games with an average of 27.91 with 1 century (103no) and a remarkable 31 fifties. He has also excelled with the ball taking 214 wickets at an average of 15.77 and a best of 5/36. Vijay has also won the Paul Keep cricketer of the year 2 times in 2015/16 and 2017/18, he has played in 4 Grand Finals, winning 1 in 2010/11. Congratulations Vijay on a stunning career so far!
Shamez Rashid will play his 150th game for the Tigers this weekend. Shamez is playing in his 11th season, making his debut in 2009/10. With the bat he has made 1568 runs at an average of 11.70 with 3 fifties and a highest score of 78 vs Piara Waters last year. With the ball he has taken just 7 wickets at an average of 24.43. It is as a captain where Shamez has excelled, captaining in 101 games with 61 wins and 37 losses and a 60% win ratio. Shamez has played in 4 Grand Finals, winning 1 in 2010/11, which of course he was captain. Shamez has also contributed as a committee member for the Tigers over the years. Congratulations Shamez and all the best on the weekend for your 150th!
Upcoming Milestones for the Tigers

When you wish to help a friend or loved one to get out of jail, you should be aware of the obligations of a bail bond co-signor before making an agreement. You have certain rights and responsibilities regarding your part in securing a bond for someone else as a co-signor.
When someone is arrested in Las Vegas, that individual is taken to one of three detention centers in the area. There will be a hearing where the judge will determine a bail amount that must be paid in order for the accused to be released. The entire amount of the bail can be paid. An alternative course of action is to hire a lawyer to try to get the bail amount lowered. If a detainee does not want to spend a lot of time waiting in the detention center, a bail bondsman can be hired for 15% of the set bail amount.
How does a Bail Bond in work?
Your friend or loved one may ask you to contact a bondsman for assistance. You will be required to pay 15% of the bail amount that was set by the court as a fee for service. You may also be required to put up some form of bail bond collateral that is sufficient to cover the full amount of bail. The bail bondsman will then arrange for the full bail with the jail to begin the release process for the detainee.
If you make a bail agreement with a bondsman, your responsibility as a co-signor has just begun. You will need to make sure that the accused appears for all scheduled court dates and that the 15% fee is paid in full to the bondsman. You give power of attorney to the bondsman and run the risk of losing whatever property you put up as bail bond collateral.
You can use cash, money from bank accounts, or a credit card as collateral on the bond. Other items that are good for bail bond collateral include your home or other property, land, vehicles, gold and silver coins, jewelry, firearms, or any item of value that can be pawned.
As long as the accused shows up for all legal proceedings, you will only owe the 15% to the bondsman. Anything you put up as collateral will be released.
If the defendant flees, the bail bondsman has 6 months to located and return the accused to the detention center, or the bondsman will owe the court the full bail amount. This means that as a co-signor, you will be responsible for the full bail amount or lose the property you put up for collateral. If you are concerned that the accused will not return to court, you can call the bondsman to cancel the bond, give the whereabouts of the defendant, and have that individual arrested and returned to jail. This will release from your obligation from the bond agreement.
If you are looking for a professional and reliable bail bondsman in Las Vegas, turn to Marc Gabriel and eBail for excellent service. At eBAIL, we have a strong reputation with the courts and top-rated attorneys. We'll help you with payment arrangements to secure the release of your loved one promptly.


Why is the world in such a sick place economically? I believe the answer can be found in the fact that the world is overweight as a result of extreme economic overconsumption.
Individuals, businesses and even whole countries have been overfed for too long and now that the gravy train has eventually grinded to a halt we are all feeling the repercussions.
We are now all on a forced economic diet. No industry is safe and there is no going back. What we have now is the new normal, so get used to it!
Just like any diet, where there are short-term fixes that don't last long, to be successful requires an acceptance of reality and a fundamental change to long-term thinking.
In Australia, I believe this means moving our mindset from a disposable economy to a savings economy. We all have to start thinking about what is in our best interests long-term.
Just like those committed to saving the environment with a long-term approach, so too must those who want to protect our economic future. It is our economy and is just as important!
The disposable mentality of never ending consumption of new TVs and cars and reckless spending on drinking and cigarettes by those who can't afford it must be left in the past.
People have to change their mentality and think long-term about saving. At the moment, as a country and as individuals and businesses, we are not saving.
We are just spending, selling and taxing and living purely off export. This is not a sound or sustainable long-term strategy.
The economic fundamentals of property, food and costs of labour are always rising. However, the costs of everything else should be going down, except for resources.
Resources you say? Yes, until recently I put resources in that category as going down as well but I truly believe we should be treating our resources as prime long-term assets.
I believe our resources are just like waterfront land in a major city – they are not making any more of it, so it should naturally rise in value over time.
Of course there will be ups and downs along the way. In Brisbane, we had a flood and riverfront property prices halved but they have now gone up higher than they were before.
The prices for our resources will rise again. It may take three to four years, and it will never be like it was, but it will happen because they have an inherent and irreplaceable value. The key is that they have to be managed property with a long-term strategy and not just a short-term approach of force feeding them to the rest of the world at low prices.
As a country, we are far too reliant on export. For example, most of our best cattle are not eaten here in Australia. Is this in our best interests? The same thing is happening with our resources. Rather than just settle for a quick sell-off, we need to change our long-term thinking.
This is the correction we had to have, it will never go back to where it was, but it is an important time for us to have a good think about the way forward and what is in our best long-term economic interests.


I created a table in a page in Confluence and have successfully modified the table by adding new columns using the new column button in the past. Now I cannot add columns anymore. Why can I no longer add columns to my table? Is it somehow locked?
Hello Phil, can you provide additional context into the issue you are seeing? If we can learn the version of Confluence being used, and if you employ any add on to enhance the tables feature, that can help the community to post a response.
I don't believe there's something locked. Where are your cursos set when you try to insert another column? Try placing the cursor on the last column and then click to create another column.
As a test, also please trying create another table and do the same test so we can check if this behavior is hapenning with this table only or any table.
Thanks for your feedback. I'm trying to find out what version of Confluence we are on, it's the version on the internet if that's any help, "on demand"? We don't use any add ons or fancy table features, it's just a plain table created using the confluence create table button. We have seven users here and all of us have the issue. I can create a new table and the add/remove columns works fine. Once the table has been on a page for a few months it becomes un-editable. This isn't the first table that has become un-editable. It doesn't matter where the cursor is, none of the add/remove column buttons have any effect. Thanks for your help.

"It is indeed regrettable that the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. There is no shortage of people to hear the Good news. What is missing are (the right) people to spread it!"….Pope Gregory the Great.
Have you wondered why most companies and government establishments spend a lot of resources advertising for job vacancies? They also expend more resources to set up written tests and oral interviews for the few that are eventually shortlisted. All these are done by the employers in view of getting the right people to do the various jobs. Another instance could be in most families where house-helps and childminders are engaged though there could be people already there. When you have the right people working, efficiency is assured and productivity is increased. This is apropos to mission as we shall see in this reflection.
Last Sunday we heard about the call to the mission of Christ. Today we are going to be looking at the nature and nurture of that mission. Most significantly, our Lord Jesus Christ, on this day, sent out Seventy others after sending out the Twelve Apostle (Luke 9:1-6) to the places he was to go.
The number Seventy would remind us of the seventy Elders who were appointed to help Moses in the work of leading the people of Israel on their long trek to the promised land (Numbers 11:16-17). It is also very significant to note that he sent them out two by two. This is an indication to the fact that nobody does it alone like in the trinitarian union there is a need for community in functionality. Fellowship is therefore very crucial and important for every mission.
There are indeed many elements (missionary accessories) that are involved in this mission. A closer and more focused reflection on them will be very helpful to us for deeper understanding.
The Plentiful Harvest Vs The Few Laborers: When we were in the major seminary there was one of our priest formators who was known for his rare, deep and magnetic thoughts. One day while preaching this gospel he said, in the native Igbo language, "madu no madu ako". That means that there are people yet people are lacking. Today, I can add to that by saying that though there are people, the right ones are lacking or to be more precise, as our Lord mentioned, they are few. In a similar episode in the Gospel of Matthew (10:1-11), we are told that our Lord saw a multitude of people looking like sheep without a shepherd and he said that the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. He went ahead to send the Twelve (the right people) to minister to them.
The simple analysis from the foregoing is that our Lord saw a lot of people who were helpless and rudderless and he went ahead to send the right helpers and leaders to them. Like St. Gregory the Great mentioned many years ago, the challenge is not on the scarcity of those who should hear the word of God but the fewness of the right people who should preach the word to them. It is not about the dearth of consumers but the little number of serious and committed suppliers.
The emphasis on the right laborers is very important here. This is mostly because many people have not only called themselves to the mission, they are also operating it as a business venture. This is not only an aberration, it is at the same time destructive to the spiritual life of the believers who are consequently disoriented.
To make the matter clearer, a lot of people are out there in the harvest but only a few of them are laborers. The word laborer rings a bell. By definition, a laborer is an unskilled worker. In our context here, however, the laborer is one whose strength and skill come from God. The laborer is one whose help comes from God (Psalm 121:1-2) and not from some deceptive antics.
Before anyone is officially engaged in any work at all, the individual is usually given a defined work description. This was actually what our Lord Jesus Christ did today in the Gospel as he took the time to give the Seventy missionaries some detailed missionary description as well the desirable expectations. An insightful look at these will be most fitting.
You will be like lambs in the midst of wolves (But God will be your protection-Psalm 91:1).
Heal the sick and announce the coming of the kingdom. (The world needs both physical and spiritual healing and the kingdom of God is the goal of the mission-Matt.6:10).
After their missionary activity, the seventy came back rejoicing on account of the success they recorded. The true joy of the mission is not on the material returns or the fame that is recorded. The true joy ought to be based on the fact that souls are saved and the devil is defeated. Furthermore, the joy of the mission is also relevant for the salvation of the one carrying out the mission. It will be preposterous, pitiable, and eternally painful to save other souls while leaving one's soul unsaved (Mark 8:36).
It is very evident that the names of the Seventy that were sent after the Twelve were not mentioned. This is a clear indication that those Seventy represent all of us who by virtue of our baptism are called to mission. Wherever you find yourself, be it in or outside your home, you are a missionary. Hence, we are all missionaries because we carry Christ in us and we ought to be conformed to him. Like St. Paul mentioned in the Second Reading today (Gal.6:14-18), the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ ought to be in us. We bear the marks of Christ as missionaries which are not only joyful, luminous, and glorious but also sorrowful.
As we march into the new week, let us be conscious of the fact that our words and actions could add or remove from the essence of the mission of Jesus Christ to which we are called. Furthermore, let us pay particular attention to the missionary work descriptions.
Finally, let us pray, as the Lord challenged us, for more commitment to the mission especially in our world that is increasingly becoming secular with most young people who are supposed to be in mission showing so much disinterest.
Have a great week and a blissful Sunday.
Rightly said, Madu no madu ako.
Thanks very much Padre for enlightening my soul with this homily, may God continues to strengthen you with his abundant wisdom Amen!
Thanks a lot Frank….I am greatly encouraged.

Latest tech-driven era in travel needs a new type of rock star leader
By Alex Bainbridge | May 11, 2017
I have been in online travel (and offline, before that) long enough to experience a number of distinct eras.
The first travel startup that I founded, in 2000, was billed as the first brochure-less tour operator in the UK.
Seriously - at that time, not having brochures as a tour operator was genuinely newsworthy.
Automation era
Then the era of automation really took off.
To become a leading online travel agency you had to master a single process - such as flight search or flight booking.
In the period between 2000 to 2010, most of the leading OTAs as we know them found their feet and became the 10,000-plus employee monsters that they are today.
But what skills were required by the founders to achieve that?
Primarily, they were tech-related - you had to source data where no data sources existed (well, at least not those designed for millisecond response online use).
You also had to make a process efficient. And then you had to scale it (generally, a commercial problem).
You had to be first, or at least very early.
This took talent. It was a commercial talent once the initial tech solution was created.
The discovery and artificial intelligence era
We are moving into a new era, now that automation is largely done.
You can buy the tech that used to give a business a competitive advantage off the shelf - similar to how I can now use Wordpress to manage content on a website, when I used to have to pay $1 million for a Broadvision licence 15 years ago. It's a commodity.
You want flight, hotel, car rental or tour and activity data. It's available.
This is where the OTAs have an Achilles Heel.
The main opportunity to differentiate now is not really tech-driven at all, but product innovation and customer experience. Think Airbnb. Think Uber.
Full control of the experience from shopping to delivery enabling them to innovate or remove friction at every level. That's why they are winning.
The tech and commercial skills that got the OTAs to where they are is not the talent required to thrive in this new era.
Creating differentiation in this era requires you to be able to devise features, interactions, tone of voice (especially important in voice UIs), and know how data insights can be applied.
This is all much more emotional than technical. A different part of the brain. A different type of person. Individuals can flourish rather than teams.
Restructure the companies
The OTAs should copy the music industry. There it is all about finding talent, young and old, and making the talent the story. You only hear about the musicians/singers, not the commercial people (Simon Cowell excepted).
The OTAs need to find it, promote it, enable and empower it and then reward it.
Online travel, it's the commercial people we hear about at conferences. Wrong narrative, sorry!
How would the new structure work?
Put the talent in charge of user experience. Of the product. Of the direction. Make the commercial organisation support the talent rather than the other way around as it is today.
This is what startups do (out of necessity or situation) and big OTAs don't.
Name a famous musician you admire. Right, now tell me who their music label is... I bet you can't.
Yet it doesn't matter. What matters is the TALENT, not the commercial team.
Sure, you would not hear about talent without the commercial team, but the talent is what is at the front and what you, as a fan, care about.
You buy that musician's next album (if you buy albums at all), not the label's next output.
One challenge OTAs have is that this new talent won't take a mid-level job at a business. They may find themselves there due to an acquisition and stick for a few months, but they don't hold them.
The only place talent is comfortable is in startups, where they can show off their talent, even if they are on a secondary stage.
They want to be the guitarist facing 500 ecstatic fans, doing a ten-minute solo, rather than an off-stage roadie in a larger show.
The OTAs have become very commercial and unattractive for true talent to work at.
In the previous commercial era, OTAs could afford to lose the talent they had acquired as part of their acquisition programmes as long as they kept the customers/partnerships/tech/brand from that acquisition.
But in this new talent-led era, this isn't the optimal outcome.
Likely to mean that when customer experience expertise becomes the differentiator, as it will in the new non-tech differentiating era, OTAs may no longer be king of the hill.

The American School for the Deaf – Today in History: April 15
April 15, 2019 • Education, Hartford
Teacher and student, American School for the Deaf, Hartford, mid 20th century - Hartford History Center, Hartford Public Library and Connecticut History Illustrated
On April 15, 1817, the Connecticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons opened with seven pupils in Hartford. The institution, later renamed The American School for the Deaf, was the first American school dedicated exclusively to the education of the deaf. The Connecticut General Assembly granted a charter for the school in 1816 through the persistent efforts of Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell, who had a deaf daughter, and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet.

Our recent Viking River Cruise to Russia "Waterways of the Tsars" coincided with FIFA's highly anticipated World Cup Soccer games, giving our cruise departure city of Moscow an air of contagious anticipation and excitement. The perfect spring weather of warm temperatures, brilliant blue skies and extended daylight hours of mid-June – referred to as White Nights – also enhanced our visit to the Russian capital.
While most theorists agree that the name Moscow derives from the Moskva River, our Viking guide suggested an alternate and more romantic theory. He claimed the original name came from Prince Musco and his reportedly cherished and beautiful wife Via; ergo Muscovia. Although of little historical credence, whichever version is correct, there is no disputing the fact that Moscow has had a storied past of wars, plagues, famines and fires since its recognized official founding in 1147 by Grand Prince of Kiev, Yury Dolgoruky. It was providential happenstance that Dolgoruky stopped on his way home to commemorate a successful campaign at a farmhouse on the Moskva River. Most likely the owner was in no mood to host Dolgoruky and his troops so he infamously killed the owner and took his wife and daughters and had his celebratory feast… thus Moscow was born.
Moscow's prominence really began with Dolgoruky's building of the Kremlin in 1150. The Kremlin, which means fortress, was constructed of wood, an easily obtainable material gathered from the abundant surrounding forests. Wood was used on buildings, bridges, and even roads were laid in timber making the city extremely vulnerable to fire. On many occasions the city was burnt to the ground and rebuilt, which may account for its lack of an "old town" feeling.
Currently, it's a city that presents itself as no-nonsense, where one neighborhood is only distinguished from the others by the way its mid-rise apartment blocks are maintained. Moscow is a city of massive buildings with broad open spaces and a surprising number of landscaped parks and green areas. Monumental buildings, many constructed during the Stalinist era, are the norm and skyscrapers are only recently coming into fashion; our guide proudly pointed out the group of 5 shining new towers lining one side of the river. Due to apparently endless open space, the grey soviet-style blocks of five-story apartment buildings spread out from the center like a spider's web. Further out continuing the circular pattern are new residential areas sprouting up, thankfully with somewhat more stylish architecture. Moscow is considered the largest city in the world with 2,500 square kilometers, housing 12.5 million people… 15 million including the suburbs. It is the capital of the country and the center of culture, industry, politics, education, science and sports. According to our guide Svetlana, everything in Moscow is "the best, the biggest, the greatest" her civic pride punctuated almost every sentence.
Our tour of Moscow began with a ride on the famous metro, a herculean task for Svetlana to navigate a group of ogling tourists into the rapid transit system. Opened in Moscow in 1935 with 13 stations there are currently 214 with many more in the planning stage to reach into the burgeoning suburbs. Having lived in New York City for many years, I considered myself an experienced subway rider and was anxious to visit the highly touted Moscow Metro.
Unless you know where the entrances are it's difficult to find them as the only designation appears to be a modest "M" on the facade of one of the many massive buildings. Once safely inside, thanks to Svetlana counting noses, we began the long, long, long escalator ride down to the subway level. Apparently the Aeroport Station on the Green Line is not only the deepest it is also one of the most decorated. The ride takes close to 5 minutes on a high-speed escalator so steep and deep you can't see the bottom. I thought it was an optical illusion that all riders on the adjourning escalator were leaning backwards, but soon realized that the angle of decent was so great you are forced to balance by leaning back.
No expense was spared to make the Moscow Metro the most beautiful in the world with many stations decorated with marble sculptures, bas-reliefs, and crystal chandeliers. At Aeroport seven different colors of marble and stone from the Ural Mountains line the walls and at every arched entrance to the trains are stunning heroic life-size bronze sculptures. One of the bronzes is of a soldier holding a gun so realistic that the barrel is worn shinny and bright from so many passing Muscovites trying to remove it, another was of a figure with a dog; it is traditional for Muscovites to rub the dog's nose for good luck. The trains run frequently, necessitated by the enormous number of people they move on a daily basis. We successfully navigated as a group the two stops to Mayakovskaya Station, this time decorated with beautiful ceiling mosaics depicting historical events.
Our final stop was Teatrainaya Station, which let us out right in the center of the city within walking distance of Red Square, the Bolshoi Theater, St. Basil Cathedral, the Kremlin and the famous department store Gum, pronounced Goom.
Due to the press of crowds, Red Square was closed to tourists but the iconic St. Basil Cathedral, with it's fantastic onion domes visible in all its glory, eliciting gasps of delight from everyone that turned the corner and found themselves facing this famous church.
Gum department store was reminiscent of a high-end mall on several levels under a massive glass roof featuring international designer shops with colorful, mostly ice cream stalls, on the ground floor.
For me the highlight of visiting the Kremlin was fortuitous as it occurred on a Saturday, the day that the Presidential guard parades at noon. There was a band, cavalry, precision marching and gun drills… all very grand. But the highlight for shopaholics, might be the 3-story underground shopping mall beneath the Kremlin, again all very grand.
Later that night we were treated to a folklore concert by the Moscova Musical Group playing a mix of classical Russian composers and folk tunes on old Russian string instruments like the domra, gusli harp, and balalaika. All the musical performances we attended during our trip were of very high professional quality and extremely enjoyable giving credence to the Russian reputation for artistic preeminence.
There is so much more to see in Moscow; museums and monasteries to visit; bridges to cross; gold-domed churches galore to photograph against an unbelievable clear blue sky; and people to meet… people just like us.

In order for third-party customers to create their own RPM repositories, they must create digest files and GnuPG (GPG) signatures as well as the necessary RPM files.
Most of cPanel's software dependencies ship as RPM archives. These RPMs download from the cPanel, Inc. RPM repository during installations and updates. The RPM repository is a collection of RPMs that exist on an accessible HTTP server. The url_templates field in the rpm.versions file determines the location of the RPMs on this server.
Each RPM directory contains an rpm.md5 or rpm.sha512 digest file, which contains the appropriate digest values for each of the directory's RPMs. The cPanel, Inc. update system uses the digest file to ensure the integrity of downloaded files. In addition, a GPG signature, which the system creates with cPanel, Inc.'s private keys, accompanies each of these digest files to ensure the legitimacy of the files and to prevent the compromise of download mirrors.
In each directory in the repository that contains RPM files, you must create an rpm.sha512 digest file.
After you create the digest file, create a GPG key pair in order to sign it. We recommend that you use the GPG command line utilities to generate the GPG key pair.
We strongly recommend that you generate this key on a non-public system to protect the private key's security.
For more information, read the GnuPG documentation.
Comment: This is demonstrating the creationg of a third party cPanel RPM repository.
"Example RPM Repo (This is demonstrating the creationg of a third party cPanel RPM repository.) <example_rpm_repo@example.net>"
In order to prevent rollback, old version, or file-copy attacks, cPanel, Inc. uses a specific GPG signature notation that specifies the filename on the remote server.
You must set this notation to use the public HTTP path for the file.
For example, for an rpm.sha512 file that exists at http://example.com/rpm_repo/11.54/centos/7/x86_64/rpm.sha512 , set the filename notation to /rpm_repo/11.54/centos/7/x86_64/rpm.sha512.
In order to set up your cPanel & WHM servers to use the RPM repository, you must add a copy of the public key that signed the RPMs to each cPanel & WHM server. This allows each cPanel & WHM server to verify the signed RPM digests.
For the examples in this document, you could store this key as the https://example.com/rpm_repo/example_rpm_repo.pub.asc file.
You must store this key in a publicly web-accessible location.
We strongly recommend that you store the key in a location that uses HTTPS/SSL verification and encryption.
To configure the system to use the RPM repository's public key, update the /var/cpanel/rpm.versions.d/local.versions file.
For more information about this file, read our The rpm.versions File documentation.
For more information about the /scripts/update_local_rpm_versions script, which we strongly recommend for updates to the local.versions file, read our The update_local_rpm_versions Script documentation.
Each RPM entry in the local.versions file includes a corresponding rpm_location entry. Each rpm_location entry includes entries for url_templates and location_keys values.
The url_templates entry contains the location of each RPM, which includes the operating system version, architecture, package name, package version, and package revision.
The location_keys entry contains the vendor and category that you specified when you ran the /scripts/updatesigningkey script.
We strongly discourage the creation of RPM repositories without GPG signatures. You cannot ensure the legitimacy of downloaded files without a signature.

Well, maybe not with Buffett directly, but we still had a good time. I drove the bus out to Toyota Park, in Bridgeview IL, to see a Jimmy Buffett show on 8/15/2009. We met some of Kate's cousins out there to tailgate in the parking lot. This was my first time seeing Jimmy Buffett. It wasn't a Dead show, but we still had a lot of fun wandering around. I didn't see any other VW bus, which kind of surprised me. I expected to to see at least one other Volkswagen somewhere in the lot.
The started off early by packing up Wilson with the gear I intended to use during the trip (chairs, cooler, food, etc). I also filled up the water tank, so we'd be ready in case we wanted to spend the night. Midway airport would be close by and the remote parking lot seemed like a possible destination if it got too late. A quick oil check and I was ready head out.
The plan was to leave a little more than two hours early, so we'd be able to take the back roads. It actually turned out to be a crappy drive. Too hot and too much traffic. We had to divert to the highway so we wouldn't be too late. It ended up taking about two hours and fifteen minutes before we made it.
I didn't plan on going in to see the show, but we picked up a couple tickets right before it started. I got down to the main floor with Cathy and a couple of her cousins. The rest had seats to the side of stage, up in the seats. After a few songs I decided I'd rather go back out to the VW and listen from the parking lot. It actually didn't sound too bad, plus I had a comfortable place to crash.
Unfortunately I missed seeing Joe Perry come onstage to play during Margaritaville. At least I could still hear him play. I laid back in the back, with the top up, just enjoying the cool breeze and music in the background. Eventually everyone found their way back to the bus after the show ended. We were stuck in the parking lot another hour or more until it finally clear out enough to leave. It was late, but we drove home to give one of Kate's cousins a ride.


Back in Dublin today, and an unexpected ticket for Bruce Springsteen meant I left home without my camera. A stunning evening in Dublin, and this was the scene in Herbert Park at seven pm, as rendered on camera phone. A short four hours later and the heavens had opened,; the rain has returned. It was nice while it lasted.

So if you're going to pre-order it, make sure you also get yourself a separate copy of the game or you'll be very disappointed when you get your hands on it. What the Collector's Box does include is a bunch of physical goodies.

University of Georgia faculty want stronger protection against discrimination based on gender identity.
Business management professor Janine Aronson, who describes herself as UGA's first openly transgender faculty member, told the Associated Press that the change would be minor but symbolic and would bring UGA in line with other universities.
"It says we do not discriminate, and we do not put up with discrimination," Aronson said.
UGA President Jere Morehead has not reviewed the Faculty Council's recommendation, according to the AP.

For a brand that didn't even exist five years ago, Calibre Bikes has shot to stardom pretty darn quickly. In its short history, the company has been breaking new ground in the mountain bike market with its mix of low-cost high-performance bikes, with the popular Bossnut full suspension bike leading the charge.
This £999 full suspension bike has been collecting awards from the industry since its first release and even managed to earn the coveted Singletrack Readers award in 2018. The Bossnut's success meant Calibre had the confidence to release the Triple B version of the Bossnut and the Beastnut – bikes with the same award-winning frame, only built with more upmarket components.
The Bossnut and its variants remain popular trail bikes, but what about the customer who has outgrown the speed and performance of the OG Calibre full-suspension bike? What about the customer looking to hit the trails harder, faster and further? Riders who could perhaps benefit from more travel, more progressive geometry and larger 29er wheels?
Snow? Yup, we've had the Sentry on test for quite some time already.
Calibre's answer is this, the all-new Calibre Sentry, a bike that the Calibre team reckons you could buy at the store, build in the carpark and race in the EWS on.
There are two specification options. Our test bike is the entry-level Sentry and costs just £2,000. For customers really serious about racing there's also a Sentry Pro built with go faster red Lyrik RC2 forks, Super Deluxe Coil shock with remote, SRAM GX Eagle and a £2800 price tag. Calibre is so confident that the Sentry Pro is EWS ready that they've sponsored Chloe Taylor who will use an off the peg bike to race the 2019 EWS season!
At £2,000, the Calibre Sentry comes is up against comparable bargain big travel bikes like the Canyon Torque AL 5.0 (£1,999), Commencal Meta AM 29 Ride (£2,128), and the YT Capra 29 AL Base (£2,299). The difference between those three bikes and the Calibre though is that the Sentry is available in store in most major towns where you can physically see it. It also has larger wheels than the Torque, and it's notably cheaper than both the Commencal and YT.
Right, let's take a closer look at the Sentry's key ingredients.
The Sentry is brand spanking new.
Whereas the Triple B and Beastnut used the same frame as the Bossnut, something else was needed when creating the Sentry and Calibre started with a fresh pad of paper, a new drawing board and a handful of box-fresh 2H pencils to come up with this.
The RockShox Deluxe R doesn't get a climb switch, but I never felt the need for one either.
6061 T6 aluminium tubing is used for the mainframe, and rear triangle. The two structures are bolted together with custom CNC machined alloy linkages running on sealed bearings to give the Sentry 150mm of rear wheel travel via a RockShox Deluxe R air-sprung shock.
The Sentry puts the 'PRO' in 'Progressive'.
It's not uncommon these days to come across a modern 29er enduro bike following the on-trend long, low, slack recipe, but Calibre has really gone the whole hog with the Sentry.
Reach figures on this all-new bike range from 445mm on a small (yup a small!) up to 506mm on an XL frame. Long reach is combined with a short seat tube length across the entire size spectrum for ample standover giving customers plenty to think about when choosing the appropriate size but it also means that riders normally stuck between sizes can easily size up.
With long and low sorted, Calibre needed to check the slack tick box, and it's done so with a 64° head tube angle. Also of note is the short 42mm fork offset, which is there to add further stability to the front wheel when riding flat-out down steep trails.
It ain't Pole long but it also isn't Pole price.
A 76° seat tube might not be as steep as a Pole, but it's enough for a comfortable seated climbing position and ensures your saddle is well out of the way once that Kore dropper is activated.
At 178cm I tend to find myself sitting right between a size medium or large bike, and as brands chase that geometry dragon I find that I seem to be forced toward a large. With a reach of 465mm though, a medium Calibre Sentry sits slap bang in my happy place. If I was more interested in jumping and playing around in the woods then I might even consider a Small.
Subtle decals on the Sentry.
Looking at the Calibre Sentry's frame details we find external cable routing throughout, which saved Calibre some money when building the bike and will save you a lot of time if you ever need to change a cable or hose.
Cable and hose routing is neat, with plenty of zip tie locations to keep any excess in check, there are even neat cable mounts on the suspension linkage.
Inboard rear brake mounting keeps the rear calliper out of harm's way.
There's Boost spacing, a bolt thru axle and a really neat inboard rear brake calliper mount. All great features on any bike, but especially impressive on such an affordable complete bike.
Complimenting that 150mm of RockShox controlled rear travel is 160mm of front wheel travel via the RockShox Yari RC fork. RC means we have a Charger damper, rebound control and compression adjustment, but for the serial upgrader, the Yari also means the same chassis as a Lyrik and the possibility of fitting an upgraded damper at a later stage.
A 45mm Calibre stem clamps to an 800mm wide Kore handlebar for max control.
A 45mm Calibre branded stem holds the 800mm Kore Duroc handlebar, which is plenty wide enough and has markings so you can neatly chop them down to your preferred width if required.
Those wide Kore bars are also the perfect place to attach a set of SRAM Guide RE brake levers. I really like the length and feel of the SRAM lever blade, especially when fitted to a set of four-pot callipers. The Guide RE levers don't have the same adjustment as more expensive Guide options, but they still offer great control.
1×12 provided by SRAM's affordable NX Eagle drivetrain.
SRAM gets even more screen time thanks to a SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed shifter cabled up to a matching NX Eagle rear mech to slide an NX chain across the 11-50t NX cassette. That cassette is a monster, in more ways than one. It offers plenty of gear options, but it also weighs in at a whopping 613g, more than a GX Eagle and more than a similar 12-speed SunRace option.
Calibre has matched the rest of the drivetrain to a SRAM chainset, but this is an NX Eagle Power Spline model with old skool internal bearings instead of the external cups we're more used to seeing. It's one of the only obvious cost-cutting measures on the bike but hasn't caused problem or concern during our test period.
A Sentry branded saddle lives on top of a Kore 150mm dropper post.
For those moments you're not smashing the ruts, there's a Calibre Sentry branded saddle to perch on. It's nothing special but it is very comfortable with plenty of padding. Beneath the generic saddle is a Kore Mega Stealth dropper post. This stealth routed dropper offers 150mm of travel but with the shorter seat tube, a longer drop might be necessary for taller riders.
The Kore Mega Stealth is cable operated and has an over bar lever, not my preferred choice and something I'd swap out pretty sharpish.
The Sentry rolls on chunky rubber.
Last but not least are the wheels. Calibre is pretty proud of the fact that they've managed to spec the Sentry with quality WTB tyres with tough casings. We have a 2.6in Vigilante TCS G2 Tough Grip 2.6in in the lead and 2.4in WTB Trail Boss G2 high grip in the rear. Each WTB tyre is mounted to a WTB ST i29 TCS rim that's laced to Boost Formula hubs.
Phew, that's the lot! So how does it ride?

My first Calibre bike was an Astronut (still is) and for the money, it's a really well finished piece of kit.
Apart from the value, its' also a good looking bike! Just a good job I'm not in the market for a new one….
This begs the question; are other bikes just overpriced?
Fair play – that looks spot on!
Have to echo everyone else above – what a great looking and great value bike.
