A road trip with girlfriends sounds AWESOME. That's definitely on my to-do list!
2009 was a year of adventures for me too! Sadly, I didn't take many pictures, because most of my trips were mostly business, or rather, not for pleasure. But I think making a trip to Cleveland was cool because I had never been to Ohio. California would've been nice too, but I kind of went there under unfortunate circumstances.
Wow, you went on a lot of trips. I went on three trips, and that seemed like a lot to me. My favorite trip was our cheapest and shortest: A weekend in the Poconos. It's so quiet and beautiful where we stay (for free, at the family vacation home of one of Majka's college friends).

Yeah, 6+ is excessive, and not even necessarily fun if it's all too close together. I'm exhausted… Hopefully 2010 will be a little calmer. The Poconos sound lovely!

About Professor De Gagne and her course
Dr. Jennie De Gagne from Duke School of Nursing strives to create a student-centered learning environment while facilitating learning through the implementation of innovative learning strategies and evidence-based practices.
Since 2014, she has taught Nursing 582: Population Health in a Global Society which addresses how evidence-driven decision-making serves to improve health outcomes of populations and reduce inequalities between population groups. In this course, students work in groups of four to five, actively participating and engaging in class discussions.
In teaching the course, De Gagne could have employed traditional online discussion forums and written assignments, but she wanted to increase student engagement by creating more personalized discussions. She decided to explore using recorded student presentations and peer evaluation to recreate the experiences of a face-to-face classroom.
Using a new approach to teach an online course
In Fall 2015, De Gagne piloted two new tools in Sakai: (a streaming media solution available to the Duke community) and for student assignments. Primarily, she wanted students to do research on given topics and present their ideas in a two-to-three-minute video or audio for peer review by four other randomly assigned peer students. All reviews were anonymous. Finally, she graded based on the student peer review and her own evaluation.
Below shows the assignment instructions and a "how-to" guideline integrated into the assignment:
The whole peer review process has three phases:
Students record a video in the Sakai assignment tool, which is possible through .
Then, the Peer Evaluation phase kicks in after the Accept Until time passed. The students are able to use a rubric to review peers' work that was assigned randomly.
Finally, the instructor reviews the work and feedback during the grading phase.
What did students say about the new approach?
Upon the completion of the two multimedia projects with peer assessments, students were invited to participate in a brief anonymous survey. Despite a certain degree of apprehension, students recognized the combination of these teaching tools as a feasible and effective online teaching and learning strategy.
Survey question, on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being "hated it" vs. 5 being "loved it"), please tell me how you would rate your experience:
Results: Average score: 4.79 (range 4 -5, SD 0.41) – The response rate was 50% (24 students out of 48 enrolled in the course).
Some quotations from students' feedback:
"I thought it was a good opportunity to further interact with our classmates and offer an array of perspective of population health issues. I like the fact that it was anonymous to reduce any pressures. Also, the brief time requirement was also an added bonus, forces us to condense and concisely present our information. The feedback opportunity was also really welcomed."
"I enjoyed these assignments; they allowed for the incorporation of research into an organized verbal presentation of information. I think it is good practice for real-life applicable skills."
"Thank you for offering such an out of the box approach to tackling this course! It was very interesting. I'd never participated in an activity such as this, but has motivated me to work on my communication skills and delivery of information."
What did Professor De Gagne think of the new approach?
While we do not have objective data to support that students learned more than those in the previous semesters, De Gagne thought the survey results gave her some good insights/evidence that she can use the strategies in her teaching practice effectively. She is willing to share her experience with other faculty members. Her immediate tips are:
"Plan, plan, plan… Find a super-user or expert to work with you from the designing to the evaluation. Expect that adopting a new technology in your class can be very labor-extensive. Thus, solicit all the help you can get to initiate and sustain the innovation. Keep an open mind with using technology… Technology is not perfect, but it can facilitate and empower students' learning when executed correctly and responsibly."

The following investigation looks at the Buderim Area residential real estate market which encompasses the suburbs of Buderim and Mountain Creek. The Buderim Area has continued its improvement into the October 2012 half year period, persisting since its poor showing in the six month period ending April 2011. The house market has outperformed the unit market in the area, with the unit market still correcting itself after the highs seen in late 2009 through to early 2010.
In the half year period ending October 2012, the Buderim Area house market experienced an improvement in median price to $478,000, an increase of three per cent over the previous six month period. Furthermore, it was a two per cent improvement on the corresponding period for the previous year, evidencing the market is experiencing steady, sustainable growth. The housing market in the Buderim Area at present represents solid value for money, with sellers being realistic in their pricing. In the future, it is likely there will be a levelling off in the market, as buyers and sellers reach an equilibrium in the market.
Observing the House Price Points chart, it can be seen that there has been little movement in buyer demand over the past year. The $400,000 to $449,999 price bracket continues to be the most favoured amongst buyers, accounting for 26 per cent of sales, improving three per cent on the previous six month period. Interestingly, the $450,000 to $499,999 price bracket experienced a contraction of nine per cent, suggesting that some sellers in this price bracket have had to revise their price down in order to sell their property. The other price range improvement worth noting is the $550,000 to $649,999 range, which also saw a nine per cent improvement from the previous six month period.
The unit market in the Buderim Area has performed poorly in the six month period ending October 2012. It experienced a drop off in both median price as well as sales volumes. The median price closed the period at $317,000, representing a nine per cent drop from the previous half year period. Sales volumes dropped off a total of 25 per cent, with the Area recording 77 unit sales for the half year period. This drop off in both sales volume and median price is stemming from sellers with unrealistic pricing expectations. Some sellers who have purchased within the previous five years are under pressure to sell, and as such are trying to minimise any loss suffered. This, coupled with an absence of investors in the market, likely means the Buderim Area unit market will continue its contraction.
The Unit Price Points chart further reiterates the statements made above, with properties priced under $299,000 receiving a 15 per cent boost in buyer activity compared to the previous six month period. In the same six month period ending October 2012, properties priced between $350,000 to $449,000 experienced an 18 per cent decline in activity. The other big boost came in properties priced at $550,000 or more, which grew from four per cent to 12 per cent. The shift towards more affordable product is evident, as buyers look to get better value for money in their buying decisions. Buyers today, more than ever, are more informed about the market, and therefore sellers are having to price their property accordingly, or risk longer selling times.
The Buderim Area rental market (represented by the 4556 post code) has seen some slight improvements in the year to September 2012, with most dwelling categories experiencing rental increases over the year. The biggest improver was in the three bedroom units, which increased $25 to $350 per week. Three and four bedroom houses also improved by $10, recording $390 and $430 per week respectively. With investors remaining notably quiet in the market, it is expected rental prices will continue to increase slightly before levelling off, as vacancy rates tighten. There are opportunities within the unit market for investors to purchase a well-priced three bedroom unit, and achieve respectable yields.
The Buderim Area land market has experienced a marked 41 per cent decline in sales activity, having only registered 60 settlements during the October 2012 period, compared to 101 during the April 2012 period. Residential land estates in Mountain Creek account for the majority of land sales in the area, with recent sales data verifying a considerable slowdown in the market for new house and land product. The median land price remains buoyant with a median price of $271,125 recorded for the October 2012 period.

Gaming Laboratories International (GLI®) is First Lab to Receive American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) Approval for 2017 Version of ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation – Zero Deficiencies Found; Approval Applies to GLI Labs in New Jersey, Colorado, Nevada, British Colombia, and Macau
LAKEWOOD, N.J. (June 20, 2019) – Gaming Laboratories International's (GLI®) laboratories in Lakewood, New Jersey, Wheat Ridge, Colorado, Las Vegas, Nevada, Vancouver, British Columbia, and Macau, China have received approval from American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) to transition GLI's Scopes of Accreditation to the 2017 version of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard, which is the latest version available: GLI is the first independent gaming lab to achieve this accreditation.
The approval was given after A2LA performed an assessment of GLI management systems and found zero deficiencies. Last year, these same GLI labs once again earned biennial accreditation for ISO/IEC 17025 technical standards.
"Compliance is at the heart of our customers' businesses, so it is essential to our regulatory, supplier, and operator clients that GLI also maintain the highest levels of accreditation compliance. We are very pleased to have received this latest approval from A2LA," said Chris Gallo, GLI Vice President of Technical Compliance and Quality Assurance.
"We work diligently daily throughout each and every one of our labs to maintain a very mature and effective management system, which is in place to assure consistently high quality and comparable results across all offices," Gallo added.
GLI laboratories have been accredited by the A2LA for 13 years. With 17 accredited labs globally, GLI has established itself as the most highly accredited gaming testing lab in the world by a wide margin. The GLI Group of Companies maintains 27 accreditations from various accreditation bodies worldwide.
The rigorous accreditation process takes several weeks to complete and involves written responses and onsite inspections. GLI invests nearly $120,000 in fees and expenses annually to uphold global accreditation, exclusive of labor costs for the dedicated team that manages GLI's quality system globally, or the nearly 1,000 hours required in support of the accreditation process annually.
About A2LA
A2LA is the only independent, 501(c)3, non-profit, internationally recognized accreditation body in the United States that offers a full range of comprehensive laboratory and laboratory-related accreditation services. Established in 1978 as a non-profit, public service membership society, A2LA is dedicated to the formal recognition of competent testing and calibration laboratories, inspection bodies, proficiency testing providers, and reference material producers.

Q: How disable Downloading Components in Android Studio first running I extract Android Studio IDE 135.1740770,
Also these packages are installed for SDK:
Tools
- Android SDK Tools 24.1.2
- Android SDK platform-tools 22
- Android SDK Build-tools 22.0.1
Extras
- Android Support Repository 13
- Android Support Library 22.1
- Google Play services 23
- Google Repository 16
- Google USB Driver 11
But when I run Android Studio for the first time, although it asks for location of my sdk folder, but it wants to download older sdk build tools again:
- Android SDK Tools 22.1.2
- Android SDK platform-tools 21
- Sources for android 21
and after downloading all of them (about 500 MB) then removes them again!!! and use the newer sdk tools that I installed before :|
How can I run Android Studio for the first time without re-downloading these useless sdk packages?

A: go to the installation directory of Android Studio. There you will find a folder named bin. Inside this folder there is a file named idea.properties. Open this file and add the following line to the end of the file:
disable.android.first.run=true

What this will do is disable the check that Android Studio performs on first run and decides to download all that stuff.

The Hate You Give, not the movie
Hate, an intense or passionate dislike for a thing or person
Hate has always existed since the beginning of civilization began the struggle for group A to dominate group B. Even though group B is stronger in population, however, it is the resources that group A has in their procession that helps them to suppress group B, making them seem like the weaker group and deemed less qualified for basic human needs.
Some people claim that this current atmosphere of HATE is caused by our 45th President. There is no denying that #45 has made his position clear how he feels about immigrants and people of color. His desire to "Make American Great Again" is a vision and mission for the white race, the wealthy, and the elite. Our 45th President boldly verbalize what many people like him believe , but they are crowds and hide behind #45 who has the guts to be honest. Regardless to whether we the people feel #45 ideology is wrong and he is destroying this nation, and he isn't bothered by the HATERS.
HATE was here long before #45 was elected President, and there is no denying since this administration has taken office there has been an increase in racial tension. The swell in anger and protests is due to political leaders who claim to be knee deep in the fight against the corona virus and overseeing the economy. They claim to have no time to commit to working with leaders in the black community to engage in conversation about change and helping to create new policies that can help solve this dividing race line, W. E. B. Dubois referred to this as "… the color line."
Political Leaders' failure to acknowledge that there is a problem based on their viewpoint that it's not that black lives don't matter, it is the issues that challenge the black community that don't matter. Police brutality, racial profiling, stop and frisk, segregated schools and neighborhoods, class status, increased incarceration of black and brown men and women, low wages, housing discrimination, double standards in healthcare and due process. This is a short end of a long list of problems that have manifested this fog of HATE.
I know that it's going to take more than just talking and nothing is going to be solved overnight. It's going to take honest men to stand up and admit that the only way to HEAL the land is for them to admit there is a problem, that they are a part of the problem, and be bold enough to be a big part of the solution to stop the HATE.

The Cries from Mourning Souls
Posted on 31 May 2020 by Dragthepen
I have never been nor will I be a supporter of violence. However, I do stand firm on the old saying " an eye for an eye". In the King James Bible, we are instructed that, " whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other.." ( St. Matthew. 5:38). The reaction of the black community after the murder of another African American man, George Floyd, is proof that African American's have no more cheeks to turn. The news and social media, political leaders, and public opinion are of the belief that African Americans taking to the streets rioting,looting and burning down a precinct should be viewed as acts of vandalism and ignorance. Furthermore, African American's expressing their anger towards a justice system that defends Caucasian citizens and law enforcement officers thus giving them the leeway to belatedly in cold blood hunt down, and subdue men and women of color for the sole purpose of murdering them.
People in black communities live in fear as an endangered population because of an invisible target on their backs. We have to question the demented thinking of a race of people who lay claim to being superior and use this as their solitary justification for to committing genocide on the African Americans.
We have to question living in a modern industrious society, where a black man is forced to consider the consequences of venturing out of his homes, into an atmosphere where he is preyed upon by a white sharp teeth predator looking for its next kill.
We have to question the Blue Wall of silence that encourages and supports police officers to roam and ravage people in black communities. Why? Because 400 years ago, White America arrived at the conclusion that any person of color is fair game, and that the laws that protect the rights of the white race are deemed NON IN VOID when referring to the rights of African Americans.
We have to question a justice system that is broken, soiled,and corrupt, yet vows that every person who is alleged to have committed a crime is innocent until proven guilty, and has a right to due process…yet the concrete streets in the black and brown communities run red with the blood of innocent victims because New York City Finest has decided that its killing season.
We have to question a society that justifies burning crosses on the lawns of African Americans, lyching, the use of attack dogs, and blasting water from fire hose into crowds of black people that have the power and force to kill. The continuous rapping of black women during slavery for the purpose of producing more laborers, or to be sold for profit. The brutal beating of black people to the point they are unrecognizable; and the practice of tying men to the back of trucks dragging them to their death. Deterring slaves from running towards freedom by chopping off an arm or a leg. The bombing of a church in Birmingham Alabama (1963), killing four black girls. The case of the Mississippi burning, three young men were killed in a small Mississippi town because they wanted to educate people of color in the south about their right to vote.
The world has watched the video of George Floyd, down on the ground pleading for his life and crying out for his mother. While a police officer slowly cut off his air, it is reported that the white police officer knelt on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds; and 2 minutes and 53 seconds of that 8 minutes he became unresponsive. It would take a person with a cold, stone heart of Pharaoh not to be affected by watching a person die.
So, the world sits in judgement as to how African Americans should express their anger and outrage. And while political analysts and media doppelgangers sit scrutinizing the video over and over, the anger of the African American community will continue to boil over. Dr. Martin Luther King jr. in his defense of black people pushing back again laws and a justice system that devalues the lives of African Americans. In his Letter From Birmingham Jail ( 1963), he said that people have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws and to take direct action rather than waiting potentially forever for justice to come through the courts. King writes, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

1. Warm up. Do some light exercises and stretches in the house before you head outdoors.
2. Dress for success. Wear warm, slip-resistant boots, and dress in layers, so you can peel one off while you're working, then put it back on during breaks.
3. Work smart. Whenever possible, push the snow out of the way instead of lifting it. When hoisting is necessary, shovel many light loads instead of fewer heavy ones. And never throw the snow over your shoulder or to the side because the twisting motion can wrench your back. Instead, turn, slowly and gently, so you can toss the load forward. Whenever you do have to hoist a shovelful of snow, bend your knees, and lift with your legs — not with your back.
4. Pace yourself. Take frequent breaks, drink plenty of water, and don't try to do the whole job in one stint. Especially if you're not used to exercising or you've had previous back problems, shovel (or snow-blow) for five to 10 minutes, then go back inside for 10 to 20 minutes.
5. Forget perfectionism. Don't try to remove every speck of white from your snow-covered surfaces. Instead, tackle the areas that could pose problems for cars or pedestrians, and let Mother Nature take care of the rest in her own good time.
6. Know when to quit. Head indoors immediately if you feel lightheaded or short of breath, your heart begins to race, your chest starts hurting, or you feel any other alarming physical sensation. And (of course!) if you even suspect that you're having a heart attack, call 911.

Q: WPF WebBrowser Troubles I have a WPF WebBrowser object in my application in which I am trying to view an isolated YouTube video.  Every time the WebBrowser navigates to this YouTube video, I (the user) am presented with a dialog box stating the following:

File Download - Security Warning Do You Want to Open or Save
  this file?

Is there any way to avoid this dialog?  The address I am using for the YouTube video is formatted like this (for example):
http://www.youtube.com/v/EVCkSMwaGGc&hl=en&fs=1&

A: I think this problem is not related to WPF or WebBrowser control. If you sniff traffic from YouTube you find that content-type is application/x-shockwave-flash. It looks like IE reacts on this content type with Save file dialog.
But what you can do is create a standalone html and refer it to the video you are trying to show. Something like this:
<html>
    <head>
        <title>YouTube Video</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <object height="100%" width="100%">
            <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8VQ4f22-SeE&hl=ru&fs=1&">
            </param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
            </param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
            </param>
            <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8VQ4f22-SeE&hl=ru&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="100%" height="100%">
            </embed>
        </object>
    </body>
</html>

Note, original video from your post cannot be embeded, because of permissions.

A: Well. the WPF browser is simply a wrapper around internet explorer. If you try navigating to the same URL in IE, you´ll find that it behaves exactly the same way.
What you probably need to do is generate a string something like the following:

and load that instead.


Before I criticize I would like to compliment. I think Lightning UK ImgBurn is a great product. I even disabled Windows burning through a registry edit, and just use ImgBurn (and I think Windows now wastes less time looking at an inserted disc).
I have noticed with programs like ImgBurn that Canceling doesn't always work, particularly when a defect on a disk has arisen. It's likely that Windows restricts the ability of the program to implement a robust cancel button. That's why I requested to a disc manufacturer that the next version of Windows have "better optical media response." Defects happen and it should be physically possible for the software to tell the drive to just forget it and stop the spinning and allow ejection. If there is anything ImgBurn could do on its own with regard to a better Cancel button, or to communicating with the hard-headeds at Microsoft, I think it should do it.
The program send the command and wait for the drive response. If the response don't come back the program can't do much, hence it stall.

Liberals' fiscal update shows billions more in deficits this year and next
OTTAWA — Canada's federal budget deficit will be billions of dollars deeper than it was supposed to be this year and next, according to the Finance Department.
The figures released this morning show that the Liberals' projected deficit of $19.8 billion for the 12-month period that ends in March is now slated to hit $26.6 billion.
And next year's deficit is expected to be $28.1 billion, before accounting for promises the Liberals will unveil in their 2020 budget.
The Liberals' election platform projected four years of deficits of more than $20 billion, including almost $27.4 billion in the upcoming fiscal year that begins in April 2020.
The Finance Department says the deeper deficit is largely driven by changes to how employee pensions and benefits are calculated, but also accounts for a tax break that takes effect on Jan. 1.
Still, the Liberals say their preferred measure of the state of federal finances — which calculates the deficit relative to the size of the economy — will keep improving, if not as quickly as it was supposed to.
Spending is also expected to go up faster on the Canada Child Benefit than the Liberals projected earlier this year, a reflection of pegging the value of payments to inflation and "an increase in the projected number of children eligible."
The government also says that increased spending announced in the March 2019 budget will be "entirely offset" over the coming years by what the Liberals higher-than-anticipated personal and corporate income-tax revenue.
At the same time, revenues will decline for excise taxes and duties this year — largely from the Liberals' lifting retaliatory tariffs on American steel and aluminum earlier than they planned — and over the coming years from "lower expected growth in taxable consumption."
Federal officials are also promising the first phase of a spending and tax review that the Liberals say will result in $1.5 billion in savings starting next fiscal year, which the government has accounted for.
The update provided today from Finance Minister Bill Morneau comes on the heels of a week where the opposition Conservatives accused the government of creating the conditions for a "made-in-Canada recession."
The government, however, projects that the economy itself will continue to grow over the coming years at roughly the rate calculated in the March budget.
The Finance Department projects growth will be 1.7 per cent this year and 1.6 per cent next year, after weakness late last year and early this year, particularly in the mining and oil-and-gas sectors. The projections would make Canada the second-fastest-growing economy among G7 countries, behind only the United States.

Meanwhile at home, the ante had been upped, as my Nana's card cronies liked to say, when they thought they had a good hand. Arguments had now escalated to pushing and shoving. To get my head together after these fights, I escaped on the bus, over the hill to the Woburn train station, and took a train ride to my Nana at her Wellington flat.
Like in our olden days, as a kid in her South Brighton dairy, Nana made us cuppa's and of course she was still on the wine biscuits, so we dipped and sipped while having big talks. One comment Nana made that stuck in my head was to be, 'very careful about keeping my boys and girls separated', I had no clue what she was getting at, so just agreed and shrugged it off.
Back at the Woburn station, sitting around in the dark waiting for the next bus to arrive, I remembered Dave the taxi driver. Using the nearby phone box to call the Taxi office I asked for him to pick me up. On the drive over the Wainui Hill road we parked up out of sight in a layby, to spend time together talking.
Saturday night visits to Nana, turned into regular date nights also. I enjoyed his company and the attention, and eventually we got around to doing 'it' in the back seat of his taxi.
On an afternoon visit with the children, to Elsie's house, we all went to her friend Jean's house for afternoon tea. Jean worked on the Bata slipper line with Elsie and her husband owned and drove a taxi for a company in Wellington.
My husband thought this might be a good opportunity to get ahead and become his own boss. After passing the test for his taxi licence he was hired to drive night shifts in Wellington town.
I agreed, to us moving back over the hill, into Wellington to be closer to his new job and allow him to come home in his breaks. In my head, I was deciding to give our marriage one last try, and told Dave I wouldn't see him any more.
Little Diana from next door, Mr and Mrs R's little Spina Bifida girl, became very sick and was rushed to Wellington Hospital. Sadly, in the middle of the night Mrs R rang to say she had passed away. It seemed so unfair for such a happy wee thing to be gone.
On the anniversary of my 'breakdown' trip to Napier, I was surprised and pleased, to receive another cheque in the mail from the 'Smith Family Trust', to spend on myself.
Renting out our house to a young family, we said goodbye to 'Nappy Valley' and moved to Wellington town, into a brick bungalow with lots more space, in Lavaud Street, Berhampore. It was behind the flats where we lived as kids and the children were enrolled at my sister's old school. It was a long hike for them to get there and back each day, so whenever their father could, he gave them rides in his taxi.
Our new, next-door neighbours, were a family that all had limps. Both parents and their bunch of little kids all had some sort of hip problems, which seemed a bit odd. Their children and ours got together to play, going to and fro between both of our houses.
For a time, life picked up after our move and we enjoyed the benefits of city living, visits to the zoo and lots of summer days spent on the sand at the Island Bay beach. My husband admiring my new tawny beach tan, was a first for compliments, for years. Whenever he had a good night, getting lots of tips, he would surprise me with supper from a new shop at Courtney Place, that sold yummy waffles covered in jam and whipped cream.
However, our time in the city was cut short, when the family renting our Wainuiomata house stopped paying their rent and ignored all communication. We were unable to keep paying for two houses and went to a lawyer, Mr Gazely, for advice. His solution, not technically legal he said, but the quickest answer, was to repossess our house by breaking in and putting out the tenants stuff, but don't say he told us.
We drove to our house one evening and finding the tenants were away, my husband kicked the back-door open. After shifting all their stuff out into the yard we waited for them to return.
They got very mad when they got home, shouting and swearing, but then arranged for someone to come and move their belongings. I did feel sorry for them, but we had no other option. Because they were six weeks behind with their rent money, and never repaid it, we decided not to risk tenants again and moved back in.


Tender chicken marinated in spiced yoghurt & sauteed in a fragrant tomato curry. Served with roast veg.
Marinated chicken: Mix together the yoghurt, garlic, ginger and Jeera Spice Mix. Coat the chicken with this marinade and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Curry mix: Place a pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes. Then add the grated tomatoes and tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens and the colour darkens slightly. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Season to taste.
Cauliflower & kale: Place a different pan on medium-high heat with a knob of butter. When the butter has melted, add the cauliflower and cook, leaving them for two minutes to brown underneath. Start moving them around for another two minutes until cooked. Add the kale, cook for another 2 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
Serve the chicken topped with the toasted almonds, and serve the cauliflower and kale on the side.

Net-a-Porter continues expansion into new categories with first multibrand luxury kids collection
by Danny Parisi
Today, Net-a-Porter is taking its biggest step into the world of luxury kidswear with its first multibrand collective aimed at children.
Six brands are participating in the effort, each contributing a collection of luxury apparel aimed at young children between the ages of 1 and 12. They include Golden Goose, Lingua Franca, Yeah Right, Alanui, ATM and Chinti & Parker, all of which will contribute exclusive children's pieces to the multibrand collection. The collection will be supported by an in-house-produced campaign featuring the children of fashion influencer Sai De Silva.
"We always pride ourselves for being a fashion authority. This collection is an excellent way to evaluate what our shoppers are interested in and also a good opportunity to feature children in our on-site campaigns for the first time," said Elizabeth von der Goltz, global buying director for Net-a-Porter.
Net-a-Porter's previous forays into childrenswear include launching a kids-focused line with Gucci in July of last year. At the time, Net-a-Porter president Alison Loehnis told Vogue the company had consistently been receiving feedback from customers asking for more children's selection on the site and that in the future Net-a-Porter would be selling more kidswear. The company has also released limited-edition kidswear collections from Dolce & Gabbana and Moncler. The new multibrand effort is the e-commerce platform's follow-up on the initial experiments.
According to Euromonitor, the total childrenswear market was worth $1.4 billion in 2017 and is estimated to grow by 8 percent by 2021. At the same time, the number of childrenswear businesses globally have grown by more than 16,000 over the course of 2018.
This growth has been buoyed, in part, by the increasing prominence of social media and the "mini me" trend of posting a photo of a mother or father and child wearing the same outfit. Brands like Gucci, Balenciaga and Burberry have embraced this trend by creating miniature versions of adult runway pieces made for children.
The past few years have seen brands from the streetwear world getting involved in childrenswear, as well, with new brands popping up like Kanye West's Kids Supply and new lines from established brands like Bape Kids.
The "mini me" trend has had the perk of simplifying how consumers shop. When they can buy outfits for themselves and their children in the same location at the same time, it streamlines the shopping process.
"Parents are dressing their kids more sophisticated than ever before – mini-me style – in full track suits, activewear hook-ups, faux fur bomber jackets and skinny denim," said Rachel Blumenthal, founder and CEO of childrenswear brand and subscription box service Rockets of Awesome. "At the same time, parents are opting for less seasonally specific pieces. They are prioritizing the special pieces that are more season-less and can be worn season after season."
Net-a-Porter is conscious of this thought process and is leaning into it purposely.
"We're testing the market, as we realize the strong potential for growth in this category; there's a convenience we can provide for mothers who now can shop for themselves and their children on the same site at the same time," said Von der Goltz. "Alanui is a great example of a brand that our customer adores, and for the Kids Casuals collective, we asked them to make exclusive children's variations of their beautiful sweaters for a mom-and-me element."
Net-a-Porter's investment into childrenswear is consistent with the company's strategy of trying to break into new categories. Last year, the company said it was looking to explore new categories, with a particular emphasis on eyewear, which saw 60 percent growth in the spring 2018 season compared to the previous season.
For Net-a-Porter, these new categories are fertile ground for growth and a way for the company to expand its areas of interest as it seeks to become a comprehensive location for luxury shoppers.
"There is certainly a lot of market research that is necessary for any category launch on Net-a-Porter," said Von der Goltz. "The kidswear pop-ups feed into that and are a way to explore and seek potential growth into this new category. We've been analyzing our sell-throughs and speaking to brands to fully understand the need for kidswear for our global customer."

The Auditorio de Tenerife "Adán Martín" (commonly referred to as the Auditorio de Tenerife) is an auditorium in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. Designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, it is located on the Avenue of the Constitution in the Canarian capital, and next to the Atlantic Ocean in the southern part of Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Construction began in 1997 and was completed in 2003. The auditorium was inaugurated on 26 September of that year in the presence of Felipe, Prince of Asturias, and was later visited by former U.S. President Bill Clinton. The building is framed within the tenets of late-modern architecture of the late 20th century.

The majestic profile of the auditorium has become an architectural symbol of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the island of Tenerife and the Canary Islands. It is also regarded as the finest contemporary building in the Canary Islands and one of the most emblematic buildings of Spanish architecture. In March 2008, it was included by the post office in a set of six stamps (Correos) depicting the most emblematic works of Spanish architecture. In 2011, the image of the Tenerife Auditorium was included in a series of commemorative coins of 5 euros, which displayed the most emblematic symbols of several Spanish cities. It is one of the major attractions of Tenerife and home to the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife (Tenerife Symphony Orchestra).

History

As early as 1970, there was agreement that the creation of an auditorium for the islands should proceed. The location in the El Ramonal was approved in 1977. In 1978 design proposals were solicited for consideration. The project agreed to appoint the architect Antonio Fernández Alba. Later, in 1985, the location of the auditorium was moved to El Chapatal.

In 1987, the final design of Antonio Fernández Alba, with collaboration of Vicente Saavedra and Javier Díaz Llanos was unveiled. However, soon after there was a conceptual shift about the type of building and the government abandoned the project.

In 1989, the government entered into discussions with the architect Santiago Calatrava Valls, who became the project architect. In 1991, Calatrava publicly presented his design. At that time, the building was to be located at the end of Avenida Tres de Mayo.

In 1992 the government created the Commission for Supervision and Control for the construction of the auditorium. In 1996, the Commission changed to a seaside location, the Castle of St John the Baptist.

Groundbreaking and construction finally began in 1997, twenty years after the initial approval. In 1997, they started the earthmoving at the final location. During 2001, the 17 larger metal panels which form the jacket were installed. In 2002, the concrete and the white exterior trencadís plaster work were completed. The complicated construction required specialized tools. Much of the surface is covered with white trencadís, with colorful trencadís as decorative elements in the retaining walls of the plaza the building stands on.

The original construction budget was 30 million Euros, but 33 years later, the total spend amounted to 72 million Euros.

Inauguration
The Tenerife Auditorium was officially opened by the Prince of Asturias Felipe de Borbón (son of the King of Spain) on September 26, 2003, accompanied by his mother Queen Sofia. The inaugural concert was Fanfarria Real by Krzysztof Penderecki and was covered by media from around the world, including newspapers such as The New York Times, Financial Times, The Independent, the Paris Le Monde, and Italy's Corriere della Sera, as well as international magazines such as Elle Decoration, Architecture Today and Marie Claire Maison.

Bill Clinton's visit
The auditorium was visited by former President of the United States Bill Clinton, who visited Tenerife in July 2005 to attend a conference on the role of the island as part of the Tenerife Atlantic Logistics Platform. This was the first visit by a former U.S. president to the Canary Islands.

Name change
On January 28, 2011 the Cabildo de Tenerife approved the proposal to rename the building "Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín" in memory of President of the Canary Islands, Adán Martín Menis, who was the driving force behind the construction of the auditorium in his stage as President of the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife (1987-1999). However, many citizens and media were against the name change. Despite the name change of the auditorium, most of the population continues to call the building just "Auditorio de Tenerife".

The building

The Auditorio de Tenerife is situated in a central area of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, near The Avenue of the Constitution, the Parque Marítimo César Manrique and the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The auditorium is located near the Tenerife Tram station.

Near the auditorium stand the two Torres de Santa Cruz, which are the tallest buildings in the Canary Islands, and the tallest residential building in Spain until 2010. The auditorium and the towers are the most recognizable and most photographed structures in the city. The building stands on a plot of  of which the auditorium occupies , divided into two chambers. The main hall or Symphony, crowned by a dome, has 1,616 seats in an amphitheater. Its stage is  wide, with a depth of . Organ pipes emerge from both sides of the pit, designed by the world famous virtuoso Jean Guillou and erected by Albert Blancafort (who has also been involved in the construction of organs at the Cathedral of Alcala de Henares and the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus on Gran Canaria). The auditorium differs from traditional designs because it attempts to surround the listener with sound sources.

The chamber hall, with 422 seats, reproduces the symphony hall amphitheater on a smaller scale. In the lobby, accessible from two sides of the building, are the press room, a shop and cafe. The building also has a dozen individual dressing rooms, as well as rooms for hairdressing, makeup, costumes, etc. The exterior has two terraces overlooking the sea.

The building is famous for its great "arc", which marked a first in the history of architecture. The arched roof varies in thickness from 15-20cm. It is the only large arch supported by only two points, while the tip appears to be suspended, defying gravity. The silhouette of the auditorium as seen from the sea evokes the Sydney Opera House in Australia. The term "The Sydney of the Atlantic" has come to refer to the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Lighting

The building is normally lit in bright white at night, but more colorful lighting is used on special occasions. For example, on New Year 2007–2008 the auditorium was lit in white and yellow, and a clock was projected onto one wing of the building to mark the hours. In 2008, it was illuminated in green to celebrate 30 years of Transportes interurbanos de Tenerife, S.A. (TITSA).

On World Diabetes Day, the auditorium is illuminated in blue, and special lighting is also employed during the annual Cadena Dial Awards. The auditorium also participates in "Earth Hour," a campaign against climate change in which large buildings "go dark" for an hour to draw awareness to the cause.

Also when held in the auditorium a national or international convention, are placed on the masts located next to the building, look national flags of the participating countries (e.g. on the occasion of World Port Strategy Forum), also placed banners with logo of the companies sponsoring these forums.

Uses

Cultural programming
The auditorium hosts various musical performances, such as Tenerife Danza, Atlantic Jazz, World Music and Great Performers in addition to hosting the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife, the Tenerife Opera Festival and, together with the Teatro Pérez Galdós in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the sessions for the Canary Islands Music Festival (Festival de Música de Canarias).

Events
Auditorium facilities are designed to accommodate conferences, product launches and conventions. The auditorium building and its environment are also promoted as a location for filming commercials.

The area around the auditorium, are also used in the Armed Forces Day during the month of May, where the best pieces of artillery are exposed at the foot of the building like a "great outdoor military museum" it were. During the celebration of the Canary Islands Day (May 30), the Tenerife Auditorium hosts the Canary Awards and Gold Medals of the region. This act has the presence of President of the Canary Islands and the maximum regional authorities, and local island.

In September 2014, within the Starmus International Festival, the auditorium was visited by Stephen Hawking, who was considered the most famous scientist in the world.

Gala de los Premios de la Cadena Dial
The official Cadena Dial Awards have been held in the Auditorium of Tenerife since 2006 to 2013. The gala event brings together various national and international Latin singers including Laura Pausini, Chayanne, Amaral, Amaia Montero, Eros Ramazzotti, Beatriz Luengo, Camila, Estopa, Luis Fonsi, Tiziano Ferro, Manolo Garcia, Melocos, Melendi, La Oreja de Van Gogh, Pitingo, Rosario and Sergio Dalma. Familiar faces in show business, television and radio have presented the awards: Paz Vega, Santi Millán, Fernando Tejero, Marta Torné, José Mari Manzanares, Elena Rivera, Jose Ramon de la Morena, Pablo Motos and Gemma Nierga. One of the unique events at this gala is the singer's walk, a green carpet installed at the foot of the auditorium.

The awards reach across the Atlantic via the radio network Union Radio Kiss Radio in Colombia, Mexico, Chile and Costa Rica, Continental Radio in Argentina and Top 40 stations of Panama, Argentina, Guatemala and Ecuador. In addition, the gala is broadcast on TV Canaria and Cuatro TV.

The building has been criticized for several reasons, including the location, various structural problems, budget increases, and an alleged breach of safety rules.

Despite this criticism, the building is now considered an emblem of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and a distinctive symbol of the city and the island. It is also a significant tourist attraction.

In popular culture
 In the 2019 film Rambo: Last Blood, the Auditorio de Tenerife is visible in panoramic shots.

 The auditorium was used as the setting for the Doctor Who series 12 episode "Orphan 55", which aired on January 12, 2020. The building was used in the story as a remote holiday spa which by the end of the episode turns out to be built on a ruined, radioactive and oxygen-deprived Earth after a devastating global nuclear war. In the episode, the spa was said to be somewhere near the Russian city of Novosibirsk.

 Part of the video for the Blas Cantó song "Universo", Spain's entry in the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest, was shot in the auditorium.

 The building was featured in the Smithsonian Channel's How Did They Build That? episode "Opera Houses" in 2021.

 The series The One (2021) shot scenes in the auditorium.

 The series Foundation (2021) filmed scenes around the auditorium.

South Africa: Dining Out in Durban and Where to Eat
Durban, South Africa, the seaside gem of KwaZulu-Natal Province, is best known for its golden beaches and relaxed surf culture which is about to heat up in the summer months of November through March.
Beyond the waves, Durban's culinary scene offers a mix of classic dishes that are often a blend of the Zulu, European, and Indian cultures that make up the city's heritage. From flavorful hometown favorites like Bunny Chow, to the regional barbeque known as braai and traditional afternoon tea, visitors can eat like locals with the following culinary experiences that give Durban its unique flavor.
Indulge in braai & Zulu cuisine at Max's Lifestyle
V1328 Mbe Road, Umlazi
Meat is at the heart of Zulu cuisine, so it is no surprise that South Africans love a good barbecue, known as braai throughout the country. The legendary Max's Lifestyle in the heart of Umlazi Township is the best place to enjoy a traditional shisa nyama, Zulu for "hot meat," while listening to local Kwaito music and sipping a cold drink. People from around the world mingle over drinks and traditional food at this hotspot, which also boasts a VIP lounge and Sunday dance parties. The onsite butchery offers a variety of meat prepared braai style and served on a wooden platter in the traditional Zulu way.
Grab pub grub & a craft beer at Robson's Real Beer
72 Mahatma Gandhi Road, Point Waterfront
Maize starches are another staple of Zulu cuisine and are often used in porridges, or in the liquid form as beer. Robson's Real Beer brewery and restaurant, located on the reclaimed Point Waterfront, is home to one of the oldest craft beers in South Africa. A family-owned business, Robson's pioneered bottle conditioned beers, made by a method similar to champagne that produces beer with remarkable complexity and taste. The eatery located inside Robson's brewery pairs natural, locally inspired beers like the Robson's Pale Ale and East Coast Ale with sophisticated pub fare, like panko crusted prawns and grilled peri-peri chicken. Robson's also brews up an immersive experience for visitors by offering beer tasting tours for those wanting an inside look at the craft brewing process.
Catch some rays and fresh eats at a beach shack
Surf Riders Café (17 Erskine Terrace, South Beach)
Afro's Chicken Shop (2 OR Tambo Parade, South Beach)
After working up an appetite with a stroll along Durban's popular Golden Mile promenade, visitors can kick back at one of the beach shack-style eateries where the views and food can't be beat. The laidback beachy vibe at Surf Riders Café captures Durban's quintessential surf culture, offering burgers, pizza, and more, along with breakfast served in biodegradable cartons for visitors to enjoy at a table or on the beach. Afro's Chicken Shop offers up simple and affordable chicken takeaway in an iconic bright yellow refurbished shipping container. Known for its chicken and "tjips" (chips), Afro's Chicken also serves post-surf fare like egg and bacon rolls.
Hop over to CaneCutters for Bunny Chow
53/55 Helen Joseph Road, Glenwood
Durban's top culinary delight is its signature dish of Bunny Chow, Indian curry housed in a hollowed-out loaf of white bread that serves as a portable bread bowl. Not to worry, no rabbits were harmed in the making of this dish. The name "bunny" originates from an Indian term referring to merchants. Highly recommended by locals and known for its award-winning Bunny Chow, CaneCutters is an authentic Indian restaurant that uses recipes handed down from generation to generation. Visitors can enjoy freshly prepared curries, like their popular "bean bunnies," traditionally served with crushed chili pickles, carrot sambals (a simple carrot salad), and coriander.
Kick back with a golf legend at Big Easy Winebar & Grill at Hilton Durban
Echoing champion South African golfer Ernie Els' laidback style, Big Easy Winebar & Grill at Hilton Durban is an unpretentious yet sophisticated spot to enjoy perfectly executed South African cuisine among friends. Dishes like oxtail and marrow fritters; grilled ostrich; and a braai platter for two with lamb chops, boerewors, sirloin steak, and peri peri chicken wings bring a true South African spirit to the table. Diners Club Winelist Awards has recognized the restaurant's stock of Ernie Els' signature and other carefully selected wines with its highest accolade, the coveted Diamond status.
Delight in quality steaks & wine at Butcher Block
140 Florida Road, Windermere
2 Ncondo Place, Umhlanga
Butcher Block prides itself on serving the best steaks in the country with locations on Florida Road, Durban's bustling culinary and entertainment epicenter, and the upscale beach resort area of Umhlanga Rocks. The menu includes meats aged to perfection, like tender fillet stack with herbs and spicy butter, and steak with bacon and biltong, a dried, cured meat that originated in South Africa. Nestled inside of each Butcher Block location is a celebrated wine cellar, featuring some of South Africa's best-known wines.
Experience the decadent high tea or famous curry buffet at The Oyster Box
2 Lighthouse Road, Umhlanga Rocks, 4319
An ode to its colonial past, the tradition of high tea is still celebrated in Durban. Visitors can step into The Oyster Box hotel's charming sunlit Palm Court and enjoy the grandeur of the past surrounded by ceramic chandeliers purchased from the Savoy Hotel in London, natural sunlight, and towering palms. This leisurely affair takes place each afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. and features live piano music and lavish baked scones, pastries, quiches, cakes, and finger sandwiches.
Visitors will also want to take their time savoring the bold flavors of the renowned curry buffet in the hotel's Mediterranean-inspired Ocean Terrace Restaurant (pictured above) with stunning views of the Indian Ocean. Foodies seeking to spice up their life can indulge in more than 10 meat, fish, and vegetarian curries accompanied by homemade chutneys and a selection of Naan.
Located an hour southeast of Johannesburg by air, Durban is located in the beachfront of KwaZulu-Natal Province (KZN). A bustling harbor city and popular surfing spot, Durban lies on the Indian Ocean and is South Africa's third largest urban area. Remnants of British colonialism and a mix of Zulu, Indian, and Afrikaans traditions give the city a rich cultural heritage, while outdoor activities abound on the signature Golden Mile beachfront and in the lush rolling hills that encompass Durban's suburbs.

The Haiti Experiment is Hugh Locke's fascinating and heartwarming account of his efforts to help the people of this impoverished nation. His principal companion on this journey is hip-hop musician Wyclef Jean. Together they endure triumph, heartbreak, and ultimately trial-by-media for their labors as co-founders of the charitable organization Yéle Haiti. Locke traces the roots of Haiti's loss of economic power to key events in its history, and offers a revealing and irreverent portrait of the inner workings of global agribusiness and foreign aid. Locke had been accustomed to working with heads of state and royalty, but in Haiti, he negotiates with gangsters in the slums of Port-au-Prince, works with survivors of the tragic 2010 earthquake, and, ultimately, finds inspiration among the country's farmers for a new approach to humanitarian assistance. Locke concludes with a bold proposal to make Haiti the site of a 10-year experiment aimed at restoring, reforesting and rebuilding the country while pioneering an innovative model for helping the people of the developing world to take charge of their own destiny.

Iran responds to Obama
by Gareth Porter March 24, 2009 September 23, 2020
Investigative historian and journalist, Gareth Porter, speaks to Sharmini Peries about President Obama's Nowruz greeting to Iran. Noting the significance of this unprecedented move by the US government, and the saying that this is the first time the Iranian leader himself has responded directly to the US, Porter said, "Obama was displaying atmospherics here far more than substance," adding that, "there really is nothing in the address that gives you a clue as to what change is going to be made in the US posture when they actually sit down with Iran."
NOTE: THIS IS AN UNEDITED TRANSCRIPT. CHANGES MAY ENSUE. THE REAL NEWS NETWORK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISTAKES WITHIN THIS TEXT.
SHARMINI PERIES, JOURNALIST, TRNN: Welcome to The Real News Network. I'm joined by Gareth Porter. He is an investigative historian and journalist reporting on US national security policy. He writes regularly for Inter Press Service and Asia Times and has authored several books. Today he joins us to discuss President Obama's Nowruz address to Iran. Thank you for joining us, Gareth.
GARETH PORTER: Thank you, Sharmini.
PERIES: In President Obama's address, there was a particular segment that was addressed to the leaders of Iran.
PRES. BARACK OBAMA: So, in this season of new beginnings, I would like to speak clearly to Iran's leaders. We have serious differences that have grown over time. My administration is now committed to diplomacy that addresses the full range of issues before us and to pursuing constructive ties among the United States, Iran, and the international community. This process will not be advanced by threats. We seek instead engagement that is honest and grounded in mutual respect. You too have a choice. The United States wants the Islamic Republic of Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations.
PERIES: So, Gareth, that was President Obama's address, a portion of his address directed to the leaders. And this was Supreme Leader Khamenei's response.
[another language]
PERIES: So what do you think of all this?
PORTER: Well, first of all, Obama was really displaying atmospherics here far more than substance. I mean, if you read the speech, the address, he's complimenting the great Persian civilization. He's really stroking Iranian feelings, the Iranian people's feelings of pride, and I'm sure that's going to go over very well among Iranian people. It went over very well in the United States and in Europe.
PERIES: This is a different step Obama's taking, this kind of an address. A new-year address to the Persian people has never been done before by any president.
PORTER: And, therefore, it's a net positive in that sense. But at the same time, there was really nothing in the address that gives you any clue as to what change is really going to be made in US diplomatic posture when they actually sit down at the table with Iran.
PERIES: And no Iranian leader has, especially Khamenei himself, responded to any statement by a president of the United States in the past as well.
PORTER: I think that's correct. This was the first time that the leader himself has responded to a statement by the US president. And that is very significant. It tells Obama and the US government that the leader himself is directly engaged in decision-making on how to respond to the United States. And that will be the case when they sit down to talk with the United States as well.
PERIES: And so this is really an acknowledgment we've heard in the past that it is the supreme leader who is actually responsible for foreign affairs and foreign policy. So this is all on a new footing now.
PORTER: That's true, but we need to be clear about one thing. The leader does exercise overall supervision of foreign policy and national security policy. That's true. That doesn't mean that he writes the statements that Iran is going to read or positions that they're going to take in negotiating with the United States. He sets an overall strategic framework. There are certainly red lines that he's going to establish, but once he does that, clearly, top-ranking foreign policy officials themselves will determine exactly what they're going to say when they sit down with the United States. So the leader is not micromanaging, I think it's fair to say, based on what we know about the past.
PERIES: So this is a grand and wonderful opening. So what next?
PORTER: Well, I think we still have to wait and see what the Obama administration really intends here. And one of the points that later Khamenei actually makes in his response is that he says twice in his statement, "I don't understand. I don't really know who's making policy toward Iran in the US administration."
PERIES: What did he mean by that?
PORTER: Well, by that I think he means how much influence does the Israeli lobby have over US policy. And this is a question that, quite frankly, you know, people in Washington, DC, analysts, are asking the same question. And very recently, as people know very well, the Israeli lobby scored a huge victory when they basically put enough pressure on the White House to basically cause Chas Freeman, the nominee for the head of the National Intelligence Council, nominated by the director of national intelligence, Dennis Blair, to have to back off and basically withdraw his name from the position. And that was done, obviously, through the high-ranking politicians of the United States being pressed by the Israeli lobby to intervene with the White House, and no White House support for Chas Freeman. So it just shows the degree to which policy in the Middle East relevant to Israel, which, of course, Iran is very much one of those policies, is still very much influenced by the Israeli lobby. And I think clearly Khamenei was referring to that fact, a little bit diplomatically, in his statement.
PERIES: What indications do we have that President Obama could listen to some other voices here?
PORTER: Well, we know that there have been some—you know, at least in the case of Israel-Palestine, George Mitchell has been named the person who's directly responsible. He's somebody who has been reasonably honest and not identified with the Israeli lobby in the past. That's a hopeful sign, certainly, insofar as that could be read as an indicator of, you know, an interest in trying to be more objective, if you will, in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But on Iran, thus far, at least, one cannot identify who in the White House, in the State Department, or in the National Security Council is a voice that will stand up to Dennis Ross, who was named the person to be the senior advisor in the State Department on that part of the world. So the indications so far would seem to suggest that Ross is primus inter pares, the most influential among the voices who are going to be speaking to the president on this issue.
PERIES: So, if President Obama is to listen to voice of reason, what other quarters might he go to?
PORTER: Well, I mean, if he's really understanding of the necessity to go beyond the circle of advisors that he already has and to get advice, then he would need to go to, you know, academics, specialists on Iran, analysts who are independent, who have a record of independence. I'm afraid that a president like Obama who's very, very preoccupied with the domestic economy day to day simply is not going to be doing that. And I think the recent events surrounding Chas Freeman's nomination simply show it's likely that the president didn't even know what was going on. He was not even told by his advisors. And therefore, you know, the president cannot be expected to take that sort of initiative. That's the real problem we face here. That's the way the policy-making situation is shaping up on Iran in the Obama administration.
PERIES: And what news of the nuclear developments in Iran? Is there a current reason for the US government to worry at this moment? What is ElBaradei saying about what's happening in Iran?
PORTER: Well, it all depends on whether you accept the idea that Iran is hell-bent on getting nuclear weapons, or whether you view the situation as one in which the past indications have been, right up to the present, that Iran wants to have the knowledge of how to make a nuclear weapon, at least in the sense of enrichment capability. But really there's no reason for them to go to the next step, to actually manufacturing nuclear weapons. There's a lot of evidence to suggest that that's not the case. And if you accept that, then there's no reason for the United States to be in a panic mode at all, contrary to the view that Israel, of course, takes on this question.
PERIES: Is there any indication from your investigations that President Obama has access to ElBaradei's reports and what he's saying on the consulting with the UN agency [inaudible]?
PORTER: No, I have no reason to believe, I see no indication that Barack Obama has done his own homework on Iran's nuclear program, that he understands some of the nuances that would be necessary for a president to understand if he's going to pursue a policy that comports with reality on this situation. That's why I think that it is really a serious problem that we have here a president who does not have the self-confidence to make policy from his own knowledge. He does not have the time or the energy to devote to this issue. He has to rely on the people surrounding him. And he has done that on other national security issues so far—the secretary of defense, his national security advisor, the secretary of state to some extent, and the advisors who are specifically there to talk about Iran. And that's why I really am not very optimistic that this president's going to be able to overcome what seem to be structural impediments, to taking very, you know, strong change-measures with regard to Iran policy, to make moves that are going to break very clearly with past policy, which is what he needs to do in order to really have a bargain with Iran.
PERIES: So it's clear that if Gareth Porter was advising President Obama, you'd be advising him to take a better grip on the Iran file, and dig a little bit deeper, and try to determine a new approach to dealing with Iran.
PORTER: I would say he needs to go outside the framework of the government structure that surrounds him on Iran policy at this point if he's going to understand the reality.
PERIES: Thank you for joining us, Gareth. And thank you for joining us on The Real News Network.

Today I am making a fantastic gold lustre glaze. I have completely stained my hands with silver nitrate, and my arms are aching from mixing and sieving. Let's hope it's all worth it, the first test piece is about to go in.
Well it's with beautiful and I'm going to add a photo onto the top of one of my pages it's worked so well. Not a cheap glaze to make because of the silver nitrate but absolutely gorgeous.
