Punto final al Climategate
George Monbiot – Filth and Fury – The Guardian -08/07/2010 – http://www.monbiot.com/archives/2010/07/07/filth-and-fury/
""You are a fucking douchebag. You pathetic fucking Phony. I hope there is an earthquake right under your fucking house and swallows you into hell." Does this offend you? If so, you haven't been involved in the climate wars. This message, one of many sent recently to climate scientists and now published by the Guardian(1), is almost sweet by comparison to the gallant emails some of us receive every week. Many of these missives, perhaps revealing more about the senders than they intend, involve promises to insert implausibly large items of military hardware into the recipient's anus. At first, years ago, they alarmed me. After a while, realising that most of the silver-tongued chevaliers who send them live on the other side of the Atlantic, don't possess passports and would struggle to place the United Kingdom on a map, I stopped worrying. But to stay in this game you need, among other anatomical impossibilities, a tungsten skin."
Morano and Lindzen: Mann exoneration a "whitewash" – Deep Climate – 02/07/2010 – – http://deepclimate.org/2010/07/02/morano-and-lindzen-mann-exoneration-a-whitewash/
"At least it's clear that Lindzen thinks it obvious that temperature data sets or reconstructions have been fudged. Shouldn't someone call him on the lack of any actual evidence for this extraordinary assertion? Morano, of course has no such qualms about Lindzen's reliability. Indeed, Morano's covering his bets by pointing to Lindzen's recent comments as well as his own. After reading Morano's screed, many Morano contacts may find Lindzen's comments downright mild and reasonable. Others, especially in the blogosphere, may prefer Morano's own over-the-top rhetoric. Either way, Morano gets his message out. This is not the first time Lindzen has played a key role in propagating, and even crafting, contrarian memes. Lindzen is an indefatigable proponent of the "global warming has paused" meme; for example, in the same WSJ piece referenced above he claimed: 'Consider that the measurement used, the globally averaged temperature anomaly (GATA), is always changing. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes down, and occasionally—such as for the last dozen years or so—it does little that can be discerned'. Less known is the fact that Lindzen actually originated the bogus "no statistically siginificant warming since 1995″ talking point that later tripped up CRU scientist Phil Jones … And we all know what Morano did with that one – eventually. This time, it probably won't take that long. Now that Morano and Lindzen have told them what to say, and even given them a menu of rhetorical options, will the likes of the Wall Street Journal and the National Post keep silent for long? Not likely."
Sir Muir Russell (2010) – The Independent Climate Change E-mails Review – 07/07/2010 – 5 authors – http://www.cce-review.org/pdf/FINAL%20REPORT.pdf – Versión más legible aquí: http://www.scribd.com/doc/34003747/Muir-Russell-Final
"8. The Review examines the honesty, rigour and openness with which the CRU scientists have acted. It is important to note that we offer no opinion on the validity of their scientific work. Such an outcome could only come through the normal processes of scientific debate and not from the examination of e-mails or from a series of interviews about conduct … 13. Climate science is a matter of such global importance, that the highest standards of honesty, rigour and openness are needed in its conduct. On the specific allegations made against the behaviour of CRU scientists, we find that their rigour and honesty as scientists are not in doubt. 14. In addition, we do not find that their behaviour has prejudiced the balance of advice given to policy makers. In particular, we did not find any evidence of behaviour that might undermine the conclusions of the IPCC assessments. 15. But we do find that there has been a consistent pattern of failing to display the proper degree of openness, both on the part of the CRU scientists and on the part of the UEA, who failed to recognise not only the significance of statutory requirements but also the risk to the reputation of the University and, indeed, to the credibility of UK climate science."
The hate emails sent to climate scientists – The Guardian, 06/07/2010 – http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jul/06/hacked-climate-science-emails-sceptics-abuse
"You are a climate change nazi. Fuck you and your armed UN security guards who try to stifle fre speech and investigative journalism. One Big Ass Mistake America"
The Muir-Russell report – Real Climate – 07/07/2010 – http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2010/07/the-muir-russell-report/
"With respect to the continuing barrage of FOI requests (which are predominantly for personal communications rather than for data), we can attest from personal experience how disconcerting these can be at first. Since there are no limits on what can be asked for (though there are many limits on what will be delivered), scientists presented with these requests often find them personally invasive and inappropriate. Institutions that do not have much experience with these kinds of requests, and who are not aware of what their employees do that is, and is not, covered by the legislation, are often not much help in sorting out how to respond. This can certainly be improved, as can the awareness of the community of what is recoverable using these procedures. While it is not relevant to the legislation, nor to what can be released, the obvious bad faith of many of the requesters indicates that actual information about the functioning of public bodies is not the primary goal in making these requests. However, it would be a terrible mistake for scientists to retreat from the public discussion on climate science because of these attempts at intimidation."
"George Monbiot – Climate change email scandal shames the university and requires resignations – George Monbiot's Blog – 02/02/2010 – http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/georgemonbiot/2010/feb/02/climate-change-hacked-emails
"The emails I read gave me the impression that Phil Jones had something to hide. Now we know what it might have been. The Guardian has discovered that Jones appears to have suppressed data that undermines a paper he published in Nature in 1990."
"So was I wrong to have called, soon after this story broke, for Jones's resignation?(14) I think, on balance, that I was. He said some very stupid things. At times he squelched the scientific principles of transparency and openness. He might have broken the law. But he was also provoked beyond endurance. I think, in the light of everything I've now seen and read, that if I were to write that article again I would conclude that Phil Jones should hang on – but only just. I hope the last review gives him some peace."
Joseph Romm – Penn State inquiry finds no evidence for allegations against Michael Mann – Climate Progress – 04/02/2010 – http://climateprogress.org/2010/02/04/penn-state-michael-mann-hockey-stick-science/
"Hockey Stick" scientist vindicated once again. This finding is a big setback for the anti-science crowd, who have been going after Mann full throttle, trying to find imaginary whistleblowers to accuse him and others at Penn State of fraud (see "Anti-science disinformers step up efforts to intimidate and harass climate scientists." The anti-scientists hate Mann, one of the country's leading climatologists, for his role in creating the Hockey Stick graph, which they still maintain is fraudulent, when in fact it was essentially vindicated in a thorough examination by a panel of the National Academy of Sciences (see NAS Report and here)."
Suzanne Goldenberg – Michael Mann cleared of science fraud charges made by climate sceptics – The Guardian – 02/07/2010 – http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jul/02/michael-mann-cleared
"The climate scientist Michael Mann, who has been under relentless attack from sceptics since the exposure of emails at East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, was cleared of research misconduct by a university investigation yesterday. The four-month internal investigation by Pennsylvania State University found no evidence for charges made by climate sceptics that Mann had violated university ethics. The committee cleared Mann of the much more serious charges of falsifying and manipulating data last February."
Henry C. Foley, Alan W. Scaroni, Candice A. Yekel (2010) – RA-10 Inquiry Report: Concerning the Allegations of Research Misconduct Against Dr. Michael E. Mann, Department of Meteorology, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences – The Pennsylvania State University – 03/02/2010 – Vice President for Research and Dean of the Graduate School; Associate Dean for Graduate Education and Research, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences; Director, Office for Research Protections, Research Integrity Officer – http://www.research.psu.edu/orp/Findings_Mann_Inquiry.pdf
"In sum, the overriding sentiment of this committee, which is composed of University administrators, is that allegation #4 revolves around the question of accepted faculty conduct surrounding scientific discourse and thus merits a review by a committee of faculty scientists. Only with such a review will the academic community and other interested parties likely feel that Penn State has discharged it responsibility on this matter."
Eli Kintisch (2010) – Climate Scientist Mann Partially Absolved by Penn State – Science Insider – 03/02/2010 – http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2010/02/climate-scienti-1.html
"But the Penn State inquiry board said the term "trick" is used by scientists and mathematicians to refer to an insight that solves a problem. "The so-called 'trick' was nothing more than a statistical method used to bring two or more different kinds of data sets together in a legitimate fashion by a technique that has been reviewed by a broad array of peers in the field," the panel said. The e-mail messages also contained suggestions that Dr. Mann had purposely hidden or destroyed e-mail messages and other information relating to a United Nations climate change report to prevent other scientists from reviewing them. Dr. Mann produced the material in question, and the Penn State board cleared him of the charge. There were also questions of whether Dr. Mann misused confidential data and engaged in a conspiracy with like-minded scientists to withhold information from competing scholars. The Penn State board found nothing to support the charge."
Sarah M. Assmann, Welford Castleman, Mary Jane Irwin, Nina G. Jablonski, Fred W. Vondracek and Candice Yekel (2010) – RA-1O Final Investigation Report Involving Dr. Michael E, Mann – 04/06/2010 – Waller Professor, Department of Biology; Evan Pugh Professor and Eberly Distinguished Chair in Science, Department of Chemistry and Depmtment of Physics; Evan Pugh Professor, Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering; Department Head and Professor, Department of Anthropology; Professor, Department of Human Development and Family Studies; Director of the Office for Research Protections – http://live.psu.edu/fullimg/userpics/10026/Final_Investigation_Report.pdf
"The Investigatory Committee, after careful review of all available evidence, determined that there is no substance to the allegation against Dr. Michael E. Mann, Professor, Department of Meteorology, The Pennsylvania State University. More specifically, the Investigatory Committee determined that Dr. Michael E. Mann did not engage in, nor did he participate in, directly or indirectly, any actions that seriously deviated from accepted practices within the academic community for proposing, conducting, or reporting research, or other scholarly activities. The decision of the Investigatory Committee was unanimous."
Christopher Horner – Climategate 2.0 — The NASA Files: U.S. Climate Science as Corrupt as CRU (PJM Exclusive — Part Three) – Pajamas Media – 40228 – http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/climategate-2-0-%E2%80%94-the-nasa-files-u-s-climate-science-as-corrupt-as-cru-pjm-exclusive-%E2%80%94-part-three/
"In an August 7, 2007, email from GISS' Dr. Reto Ruedy to GISS director Dr. James Hansen, Ruedy says the correction had "little impact" on the U.S. record. In an email to New York Times environmental reporter Andrew Revkin on August 9, 2007, Hansen characterizes the error as having been "well within the uncertainty bar we give" for the U.S. and "entirely negligible" globally. In an email to Dr. Donald E. Anderson — program manager, Earth Science Enterprise, NASA Headquarters — on August 14, 2007, Hansen used the terms "minor," "negligible," and "less than the uncertainty" to describe the previously touted warming which was now shown to be an error."

I don't watch TV much. Instead, I pick out shows that have some meaning or value. One of the few shows I watch is called Forever, the story of a man who, over 200 years ago was killed trying to do the right thing, yet, instead of dying, he became immortal. The show is his story of trying to find out why and how it happened while he attempts to keep secret that he is over 200 years old.
A fantastic, spiritual show with a wonderful cast. Yet, ABC decided to cancel it even though it had a very large audience, e.g. in the millions. They also never bothered to promote it and put it in a crummy time slot. I found it just by accident as have literally millions of others. But it is a loved show that entire families watch together. How many shows can you say that about today?
Another Petition to Save Forever Please sign all petitions; make a difference.
If you've never seen the show, I urge you to watch the first episode. It's a great story with a warm, loving lead character: Dr. Henry Morgan.
Read about the movement to save this wonder series HERE!
I started looking the Serie in Europe in Mai 2015. Which is unfair, because the Serie has been already canceled in USA. I do believe the Serie is worth of saving. Thank you for your efforts. I hope we can #Save Forever.
Thanks for sharing the article Carolyn!

Illuminating the History of Slave Square
DL Henderson and Sara Van Beck
From 1852, through the late 1860s, African Americans in Atlanta were buried in a segregated section at Oakland. This area was located at the northeast corner of the original six acres of the cemetery. Most, though not all, of the African Americans buried in this section were enslaved, and it came to be known as Slave Square. The list of names on these panels are the names of the men, women, and children who were buried in Slave Square. Their burial records often list the name of the slaveholder followed by the given name of the deceased, such as "Pompy" or "Queen." In some cases, there is no given name, but only a question mark indicating the name is unknown, and sometimes only the term "man," "woman," or "Negro" is used.
Many people are fearful of disturbing the resting places of the dead, but history tells us that's what happened here at Slave Square. The first recorded burial in Slave Square was a 14-year-old named John, in January 1853. By the beginning of the Civil War, nearly 900 men, women, and children had been buried in Slave Square. Burials in Slave Square apparently continued for several years after the Civil War.
By 1877, Oakland Cemetery had expanded to 48 acres, and the burial lots of white Americans had filled up the expensive land surrounding Slave Square. The Atlanta City Council decided that the bodies of John and all the other people who had been buried in Slave Square would be removed to make room for more burials that could be sold for more money. The people buried in Slave Square would be moved to the "colored pauper grounds." After the Sexton prepared (surveyed the land and put in new walkways) the ground for new burials, the lots in Slave Square were sold to white American families for a minimum purchase price of $50. Those families erected the monuments that you see in this area today.
After the Civil War, African Americans could buy burial plots at the rear of the cemetery in a newly opened segregated burial ground that remains open for burials today. More than 12,000 African Americans are listed in Oakland's burial records, including the men, women, and children of Slave Square. Legal segregation at Oakland Cemetery ended in 1963 when the City of Atlanta banned the segregation of public facilities.

Mary Mallory / Hollywood Heights: Hollywood and Poinsettias
A postcard c. 1908 of poinsettias, "California's Christmas flower," listed on EBay.
Euphorba Pulcherrima, better known as the poinsettia plant, has been popular in Los Angeles since the late 1800s. Some call it flor de fuego (fire flower) or flor de la noche buena (flower of the holy night) because of its bright red leaves or bracts. First used as centerpieces or accents during the holiday season, since the leaves turn color quickly during the shorter winter days, the blazing plant gained popularity at the hands of Hollywood residents, now one of the most popular flowers highlighting homes across the United States at Christmas.
Indigenous in Mexico and Central America, these bright red and green plants grow as shrubs and small trees as tall as 13 feet. The Aztecs employed the striking flower for medicinal purposes, such as healing pulmonary infections.
Mary Mallory's "Living With Grace" is now on sale.
A postcard showing a poinsettia field in Hollywood, listed on EBay.
First described as a new species by German scientist Johan Friedrich Klotzch in 1834, it gained its common name poinsettia in 1836 thanks to its American propagator, Joel Roberts Poinsett. The first United States minister to Mexico, Poinsett served as a state representative in South Carolina and later a United States congressman before his nomination to the post. In 1828, he signed the first treaty between the United States and Mexico recognizing the U.S.-Mexican border.
During his time in Mexico, Poinsett fell under the spell of the scarlet plant, bringing some back to his South Carolina plantation. Over the next several years, he grew cuttings from the plants, passing them off to friends who transported them across the country. By 1836, the scarlet flower was named for Poinsett. Plants dotted the Los Angeles and Hollywood areas by the late 1880s, with residents decorating their homes with the gorgeous specimens around Christmas.
In 1902, German immigrant Christoph Heinrich Albert Ecke, his wife, and four children arrived in what is now Eagle Rock to set down roots. Variously called a professor from Heidelberg University or a former operator of a vegetarian sanitarium, Eck established a dairy and plant farm.
The family experienced tragedy in 1904 when oldest son Hans accidentally shot and killed his sister Margaret with what he thought was an unloaded gun. Unable to speak English, father Albert was first accused of the killing before others interpreted his words. Devastated, the family looked to move on.
In February 1906, Ecke purchased land and commissioned an architect to design a six-room bungalow on what is now Hayworth Avenue on the border of Hollywood and West Hollywood. Ecke and his family operated a dairy and plant farm at his new location. Becoming fascinated with the bright red poinsettia, Ecke began growing them on his property.
Hollywood loved the poinsettia too, naming a street Poinsettia Place in the early 1900s, located not far from the Ecke residence. Hollywood High School titled its school year book "The Poinsettia" in honor of the plant, and eye-catching colored linen postcards illustrated the giant fields of red flowers as well. In 1915 and 1916, the city even threw the poinsettia festival at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament over three days at the end of November and beginning of December.
Ecke's poinsettia sales skyrocketed, and in 1910 he rented land at Fountain Avenue and Fairfax Avenue for $150 per the May 21, 1924, Hollywood Evening Citizen News and opened a roadside stand to sell the colorful plants at the holiday season. Popular with residents, the poinsettias sold well, leading Ecke to rent more land.
Poinsettias on a postcard listed on EBay.
After becoming a naturalized citizen in 1917, the older Ecke passed away in San Bernardino in 1919. Youngest son Paul took over operation of the concern, expanding and growing the business. In 1919, he purchased land at 7362 Sunset Blvd. and constructed a small bungalow for his dairy and home before building a store next door at 7366 Sunset to help sell the vivid plants.
By May 1921, he rented an additional 15 acres at Crescent Junction near the current intersection of Fairfax Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard to plant poinsettias. Sales continued to explode.
Leasing and buying almost 25 acres near Sunset Boulevard and Doheny Drive at what would be 9032 Sunset Blvd. a few years later, Ecke grew poinsettias almost in the shadow of the Doheny mansion, employing Mexican laborers to help him cultivate the plants. He experimented with hybrids, developing the very popular poinsettia variety, the Hollywood, which stood 6 feet to 8 feet tall with leaves 12 inches in diameter. Ecke would later create varieties he named after both of his parents, the Albert and Henriette.
He stated that Mrs. Enteman of Jersey City, N.J., began selling the first potted poinsettias in 1923, which he capitalized on. During an interview with the Citizen News in October 1924, Ecke revealed he sold 400 dozen blossoms in one day to the Los Angeles flower market.
Requiring extra land to fulfill his growing orders, the "Poinsettia King" Ecke purchased almost 40 acres of land in Encinitas, near San Diego in 1924. By 1930, he grew 150 acres of poinsettias there, along with the 30 acres in West Hollywood, before eventually selling this land in the 1940s.
A marketing whiz, Ecke publicized his plants in newspaper and magazine stories, later reaching out to broadcast media radio and television. Poinsettias grew in popularity across the United States, becoming ubiquitous as a decoration during the Christmas holiday season. Hollywood and its marketing prowess sold the beauty of poinsettias to the world, making them synonymous with Christmas decorating.

The York County Board of Supervisors is threatening the livelihood of oyster farmers.
Zoning is a popular way for counties to control where and how things are bought and sold. Zoning ordinances can often dictate whether people can work, live and play in the same neighborhood. The details of zoning are excruciatingly complex leaving people unable to respond in a timely manner. The enforcement of zoning regulations involves heavy fines and/or incarceration. In short, zoning has been a terrific way for counties to control people's lives.
Such is the story of oyster farmer Anthony Bavuso and his family. After years of working corporate and office jobs, Bavuso and his wife took a short hiatus from the day-to-day drudgery and returned with a new perspective: they wanted to become contributors to the economy of raw materials by producing something that people needed.
Bavuso moved his family back to their homestate of Virginia with the dream of becoming food producers. Having access to a waterfront property, and a background in oyster gardening, it made sense to start an oyster farm. Like other types of farming, oyster farmers have to manage the growth of their oysters—a labor-intensive process requiring a high level of experience. An added benefit, for Bavuso, was the knowledge that oysters clean the water. As a lifelong Virginian, the health of the Chesapeake Bay is never far from his mind. (Oysters eat algae, which proliferates in the pollution of the bay, and turn the algae into usable protein for humans.) So the Bavuso family started Seaford Oyster Company.
In the zoning ordinances, York County Virginia, where Bavuso lives and farms, has a list of things that are allowed and if an activity is not on the list, they prohibit it. Penalties include steep fines and possible incarceration. Small changes to the zoning ordinances are threatening a family's livelihood.
In 2010, Bavuso followed regulatory procedure within his zoning district for an oyster farm. He established a lease with the commonwealth of VA that gave him the "rights" to the section of the bottomland in the Poquoson River adjacent to his property. (The bottom lease gives farmers access to shellfish only.) Additional regulations and permits involved food safety. Wanting to show his interest in producing the safest food possible, Bavuso complied with the entire permitting process.
After more than a year of farming, refining his expertise and growing his customer base, in 2011, Bavuso read in a local paper that the county was planning on rezoning to remove agriculture activities from Bavuso's "zone." A "zone" is any area that the county designates. Within each zone, the county stipulates what particular activities can take place. Once designated, the county applies regulations and restrictions. For example, one common zoning requirement is that if an area is zoned for residential building, there are restrictions and regulations determining how from the property line a structure can be built.
Bavuso wanted to make sure that he would be grandfathered in and that these changes would not affect his farming operation. He didn't know it at the time, but there was another farmer in the county too and this rezoning was a political vendetta against the other oyster farmer for supporting a challenger to the currently elected county Board of Supervisors (BOS). And so began what would be at least 3 years of limbo for a peaceful man and his family.
Bavuso and his attorney began this process of jumping through all the hoops to maintain the farm. The county told him that he would need a "special use permit" in order to keep farming on his own land. Bavuso did not think this was correct based on the published zoning ordinances, and so, in 2011 Bavuso went to the circuit court and asked the judge about the special use permit. The judge agreed with the Bavuso's that they did not need the special use permit. The county appealed, and the Supreme Court of VA interpreted the zoning ordinance to say that they could not have a farm and a farmhouse on the same lot—essentially requiring the special use permit despite the code in the zoning ordinance.
In the 1980s the Virgina General Assembly passed a statute called the "Right to Farm Act." The right to farm act limits counties' ability to restrict agriculture activities. Specifically, it precludes local governments from requiring special use permits for farming. So when the county told him to get the special use permit, he said he didn't agree with it, but that he would apply for it anyway. He went to the planning commission and they voted unanimously and the county wrote a report saying that he should be able to continue with his oyster farm. Thwarting that, the board of supervisors, on a Tuesday night meeting on April 17, 2012, voted 3-2 that they would not grant the special use permit. Three people on that board decided to shut down his business after two years of his operating successfully and providing something that people need and want.
The special use permit cost the Bavuso's an additional $600 just to get the county's permission to use their own property.
Bavuso filed suit against the county on January 31, 2014. He filed a "complaint for declaratory judgment." asking the judge to interpret the law and tell him what it means. The county filed a motion to dismiss that. In their motion to dismiss it, they argued that this has already been before the court and that the court had decided on this already. As of May 12, 2014, the judge has not ruled on this hearing yet.
On April 4, 2014, York County filed suits against Bavuso personally, his wife and his business for not having the special use permit. This occurred three days after the governor signed a bill saying that counties cannot require a special use permit for aquaculture. The hearing for this was on April 28, 2014 and the judge has not ruled on it yet.
To heighten the irony of this situation, Bavuso's farm is minutes away from where the British surrendered to Washington during the Revolutionary war. The town hall handing down these draconian regulations is on the same ground where men bled and died to win freedom from such oppression.
Meanwhile, as this progresses through the halls of bureaucracy, Bavuso is continuing his oyster farm saying that he is not defying the law by simply producing food on his own land that he has a right to.
Another oyster farmer, Greg Garrett, politically supported the challengers to the currently elected BOS. Bavuso has gotten caught up in that because he does not agree with what the BOS is doing. They have transitioned from being servants of the people to rulers of the people. Bavuso has been vocal about that and now he is convinced they are attacking him, personally.
York County is moving ahead with the proposed zoning revision in response to House Bill 1089 becoming law in March. HB 1089 goes into effect January1, 2015 and would prohibit the county from requiring Anthony to have a special use permit. The county was also worried about the Boneta bill (SB 51) which limits the county's ability to require permitting for activities on agriculturally zoned land. That bill goes into effect on July 1, 2014.
Several of the proposed zoning changes affect thousands of people. While these proposals are still on the table, in a May 6, 2014 hearing, the county Board of Supervisors has decided that they are going to move forward with rezoning Bavuso's neighborhood.
The details of law used by some to control others can be quite dizzying. In a land of invasion of privacy, censorship and extreme police aggression, food control is an obvious next step. The systems in place constrain producers to the point that drives them out of production. Together, we can support our food producers who support us. Join Anthony, his family and his neighbors at a peaceful "pitchfork" protest on May 14, 2014 when the York County Planning Commission meets to discuss the proposed changes. There will be an opportunity for public comment. Numbers are critical.
Farming rights organization, the Farm To Consumer Legal Defense Fund, is supporting Bavuso with legal fees.

Addiction and Recovery, Grief and Loss
A few years ago, I went to a screening of "Brave Miss World," a documentary about the Israeli model and beauty queen Linor Abargil, who was raped just seven weeks before winning the Miss World competition. In response to her trauma, Linor became an advocate against sexual violence, travelling across the globe to offer support and resources for rape survivors, and got her law degree so she could fight for legislation that would protect victims of rape, instead of the perpetrators.
Linor was at the screening that night, looking like a resplendent amazon goddess in white. The woman actually shone. But what drew my eye from the minute I entered the auditorium was a girl, probably college age, sitting in the middle of the second row. She wore a sweatshirt three sizes too big that rendered her body shapeless. Her hair fell greasy and disheveled over her face, as if she was trying to hide behind it. She looked oily and unwashed; it was very possible she smelled. The girl looked up at the stage, at Linor, with a desperation so palpable I felt an imminent sense of danger.
After we watched the film, it was time for a Q & A session with Linor, two rape counselors, and a therapist who were there for extra support. A few brave souls stood and asked mostly innocuous questions, which Linor answered graciously.
Then the girl raised her hand.
As she stood up, something in the room shifted. I felt my body tense.
"I just want to know," she began, her voice surprisingly loud, "how you moved on after what happened to you. You went through this horrible thing…"
Linor explained that what helped her was helping others, and developing her spirituality.
"But it was so horrible," the girl repeated. "Horrible…How can you ever…?"
And just like that, the girl was sobbing – deep, primitive wails that echoed off the walls. The room was profoundly silent, as if everyone in the audience was holding their breath. For what felt like an eternity, we all helplessly watched as this girl fell apart. Then one of the counselors walked up the aisle, put her arm around the girl's shoulders and led her from the room. Her cries grew hauntingly quieter, then faded out.
Though Linor had plenty of other inspiring things to say that night, it was hard to listen with that girl's sobs echoing in our ears.
I think about that girl every so often. I think of what she must have been through, and where she is now. I remember her dirty hair and the hoarse, naked cries that transported me right into the moment she was reliving. And then I think about how brave she was.
"Brave" might not be the first word that came to the mind of the people in the audience that night, but years later, all I can see is what it must have taken for that girl to get herself to that theater and tell the truth about what happened to her. She knew she needed help. She knew she needed someone who could listen to her dreadful secret she and not turn her away. So she brought herself, wounds and all, to a safe place where she could fall apart – even if it meant doing so in front of 200 people.
So many of us have our own secrets, traumas, and grief that we hold inside, letting them rot us from within. We're afraid that people won't believe us, that they won't understand, that they'll reject us. So we keep them to ourselves.
But she didn't.
I thought of that girl again this weekend, while I was at a twelve-step recovery retreat for compulsive eating. Many of the people there had miraculous stories – one man lost 500 pounds – along with deep wells of wisdom from which the other 800 or so of us could draw. But more importantly, there were people who were still in the throes of addiction, who couldn't stop eating or starving or purging or exercising no matter how hard they tried. They had managed to push past their shame, their dark secrets, and their fears, and come to a place where they knew they could ask for help. Walking back to my hotel room, I saw one wild-haired woman look up at the ceiling and beg God, out loud, to help her get abstinent. She was absolutely desperate. She was also brave as hell.
I used to think that being brave meant not being afraid. But now, having seen deeply scared people accomplish the very things they feared, I don't believe that anymore. Bravery is simply action despite fear. Or, in the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear." For many of us who have lived with unimaginable pain, who have wrestled with demons and been trapped by our own secrets, we assessed that escape was more important than the risk. That the truth was more important than hiding. That life was more important than death.
Then there are those of us who live alone with our pain. We put our faces on and tell the world we're fine. But we're not fine. We need help.
We all do.
It's okay to be afraid.
But we can be brave, too.
It might just save our lives.

If you eventually actually choose to retire, preparing for your own future should be part of your plan. You'll want a financial plan in position that will generate income, ideally, that will last you your whole lifetime. To ensure that your own pension resources to endure your whole life, you should be positive you will be dedicated to just the right monetary vehicles to generate such income.
When most people contemplate creating a consistent your retirement income, their particular first thought was buying an IRA, that is centered on paper money. With all the ongoing state of this economic climate and the way the stock exchange changes from everyday, there is always uncertainty and perpetual bubbles that will burst like in 2000 and 2008.
The bursting of these bubbles wipes out most retiree's whole retirement reports. Background has shown that gold and other gold and silver has endured the test period and has weathered these economic dreadful storms.
When you yourself have a pension profile that is dedicated to papers property, you probably could help in a silver IRA Rollover. Gold is actually important as it can't be replicated, also it can't be printed. Gold needs to be found, dug up, and established into bars, coins etc. You will find restricted levels of gold which causes the value to continuously go up. This is why you should have part of your pension profile dedicated to Gold. Silver features constantly complete well and it has dramatically enhanced in benefits over the past many years.
To know even more about ira gold double bass and iran gold news, please visit all of our websites gold ira edward jones (company website).
A significant benefit of specific retirement records is that the account holders don't have to pay fees on normal regular basis in fact within these records there are big taxation pauses that enable the members to keep a rescuing for all of them in the event they experiences fantastic loses. Pension investing was never ever this simple and benefiting. As soon as these training are founded individuals who comprise retiring started amassing significant income from Gold IRAs. It is a secure and straight-forward investment arrange which allows one to rescue as well as secure profits according to your own will likely.
Were we in the midst of a worldwide economic meltdown... an economic apocalypse? May be the U.S. money nevertheless a secure haven for your IRA?
The U.S. government try printing revenue at a record speed as well as the odds your hard-earned savings will maintain the value in 10 to twenty years from now could be lean to none. I might compare it to fortune, but even with luck... often you can get lucky. Ability associated with the dollars devaluing is but inescapable.
Most of us need certainly to shield our very own property, specifically those that we have been relying on for your retirement, with things in-corruptible. Something cannot be tweaked or manipulated by power-blinded frontrunners and government.
Is a beneficial guideline: The more "printed" money that will get distributed, the more diluted its purchasing electricity gets. Ergo, the common money devaluation.
Need this eg, now, an oz of silver expenses around $1420.00. Immediately imagine if an alchemist finds an approach to establish an unlimited method of getting silver at minimum expense.
Exactly what effects do you consider this substantial overproduction of silver might have on its latest price?

This documentary tells the fascinating story of Ben Ferencz, the last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor and lifelong advocate of "law not war." After witnessing Nazi concentration camps shortly after liberation, Ferencz became lead prosecutor in the Einsatzgruppen case at Nuremberg, which has been called the biggest murder trial in history. He was 27 years old and it was his first trial. All 22 Nazi officials tried for murdering over a million people were convicted. Ferencz went on to advocate for restitution for Jewish victims of the Holocaust and later for the establishment of the International Criminal Court. Prosecuting Evil also poses some tough and incisive questions. Most pointedly: What does the film say about our time?
A panel discussion with Profs. Eric L. Muller and James Chappel with follow the screening.
Muller is the Dan K. Moore Distinguished Professor at UNC School of Law and a nationally known and much-published expert on the mass removal and imprisonment of Japanese Americans in World War II. He is also Academic Director at the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics, an educational non-profit that uses the complicity of German professionals in the crimes of the Third Reich as a lens through which to examine our own lives and ethical choices as professionals. He lives in Chapel Hill with his wife Leslie Branden-Muller, a child psychologist.
Chappel is the Hunt Family Assistant Professor of History at Duke University. His main interest is in the intellectual history of modern Europe, focusing on themes of religion, welfare, and the family. In addition to academic venues, he has been published in more popular ones like The Nation, Dissent, and The Washington Post. His first book appeared from Harvard University Press in 2018 under the title Catholic Modern: The Challenge of Totalitarianism and the Remaking of the Church. He is at work on a new project on the history of old age, tentatively entitled End of Life: The History and Future of Old Age for a Graying World.

Major filmmaker Carlos Reygadas to speak at Wexner Center
By Nina Pieri: pieri.7@osu.edu	March 28, 2019	0

A Cannes Film Festival nominated filmmaker and producer is coming to Ohio State's campus this weekend. Following a screening of his newest film, "Our Time," Carlos Reygadas will be answering questions in person at a Q&A held at the Wexner Center for the Arts on Saturday.
The screening of the film, in which he and his wife play the starring roles, follows a career retrospective in which the Wexner Center has shown all of his films throughout the month.
The Q&A portion is a rare opportunity for students to hear his thoughts about the making of this piece.
"He is one of the leading, most well-known Mexican filmmakers of the contemporary moment," said Laura Podalsky, a professor at Ohio State's Department of Spanish and Portuguese and Film Studies. She will be moderating the Q&A with Reygadas after the screening.
Podalsky said Reygadas' films are often visually compelling and offer challenging narratives, and that he is known for "his virtuosity in terms of style" and shows things in his film many viewers might find to be shocking.
Reygadas causes scandal in and outside of the film community, and is perceived as being one of the world's most provocative filmmakers, Podalsky said.
"Some people want filmmakers to represent countries, and I think he doesn't do that quite easily," Podalsky said. "His films discuss Mexico in ways, but it's not direct, and I think that in itself has caused a bit of consternation; I think he likes stirring up that consternation."
He is visiting the Wexner Center after a stop at Indiana University Cinema in Bloomington, Indiana, and has been in contact with the center for a long time.
David Filipi, director of film and video at the Wexner Center, said the center has followed Reygadas since his first film, "Upon," and that they are excited to screen his latest work.
"We've shown all of his films, and [I] hope people get an experience that they can't by going to a normal movie theater and seeing a blockbuster or Hollywood comedy," Filipi said.
Podalsky said Reygadas' style of filmmaking and film production is one that emphasizes the way that humans interact with environments in remarkable, beautiful ways, using slow-moving shots to do so.
"He makes you notice things you might not have noticed were it not for the cinematography and the play of light," Podalsky said. "He's a fantastic filmmaker really challenging to our sensibilities and I think he makes us aware of our surroundings in a way that many films don't."
Admission is $6 for students and $8 for the general public.

Over 800 West Midlands secondary school pupils have been educated on the rules of the road, as part of Blakemore Logistics' annual road safety campaign.
Students from five secondary schools across the region took part in the weeklong event from 19-21 November. Volunteers from Blakemore Logistics gave pupils a demonstration of an A.F.
Blakemore vehicle, flagging up the dangers of playing near large HGVs. The pupils also participated in classroom-based activities to highlight different roles in logistics through team-work facilitated games. Road Safety Week targets Year 7 pupils, as for many students this is the first time they travel to and from school on their own.
A.F. Blakemore Community Affairs Officer Liz Blakemore said: "As a food and drink distributor with more than 300 vehicles on the roads each day, we have a responsibility to educate pupils about the importance of road safety.

Luigi Giussani speaks about Pope Paul
When Paul VI Saved the Church from Disaster: An interview with Fr. Luigi Giussani
Q: Paul VI died in August of 1978, and then came pope Albino Luciani. Then there was the arrival of the "pope who came from far away." Do you remember the hours during which the death of Paul VI was announced?
A: I remember those moments. […] The Church had been plunged into such a condition that the loss of that guide seemed extremely serious to me. It had been Paul VI who, in all good faith, had looked favorably upon a certain evolution of the Church. But his love for the Church was so genuine that, at a certain point, he had to realize the disaster posed by the dynamic of things – even though these things had been approved [by him]. It was then that he opened himself completely to the experience of Communion and Liberation. So the death of Pope Montini was like the disappearance of a possible guide. He had seen and made confirmation; he knew the inner workings of that process of destruction. Now, he intended to go against the tide: and he was the best choice and the one most able to do it.
Q: When did this new intention of Paul VI come about?
A: It dates from his famous 'Credo', June 30, 1968, which began the shift. Humanae Vitae and the outrageous attacks to which he was subjected confirmed him in his judgment. The culmination of his disillusionment came with the referendum on divorce in Italy, in 1974, when the very leaders of Catholic Action and FUCI [Italian Federation of Catholic University Students] whom he had loved and protected turned their backs on him. It is probably in this climate that Paul VI realized the capacity for Christian renewal and human responsiveness implicit in Communion and Liberation. Beginning in 1975, the signs of his new and strong sympathies increased. For Palm Sunday of that year he called to Rome all the young people of all the Catholic groups. […] He called everyone. He found himself with only the 17,000 of CL.
Q: And then how did it go?
A: […] After the mass, it was about noon, and I heard a prelate call me: 'Fr. Giussani, the pope wants to see you.' I was in the portico of Saint Peter's Basilica, I had the ciborium with the consecrated hosts in my hands, and I heard that voice. In the emotion of the moment I tried to hand over the ciborium to a halberdier, who drew back. Finally I was able to hurry toward the pope. I appeared before him right at the door of the church. I knelt down, I was so confused… I remember precisely only these words: 'Have courage, this is the right way: keep going forward.'
Q: Was this something unexpected?
A: Totally unexpected. But these were not improvised words of encouragement. [Years later] I received sure proof of this from Cardinal Benelli, the closest hierarchical collaborator of Paul VI. He told me in person that each time he visited Pope Montini during the last years of his pontificate, the pope asked him about Communion and Liberation. And he told him: 'Your Eminence, that is the way.' Benelli made this comment to me: 'If Paul VI had lived another year, I assure you that all your ecclesiastical problems would already have been resolved.' Paul VI would have had the courage to say so, and to do it. […] One noteworthy confirmation of the change in Paul VI was evident in his dismissal from the supervision of Catholic Action of his close friend Bishop Franco Costa, who had determined the course of Catholic associations over the previous decades.
Q: Did Paul VI's old collaborator also mean by those words to express a specific judgment about the Church?
A: [His words] signified affirmation of the soundness of CL's inspiration, of its validity for the Church. And this was in view of the profile of all Catholic associations during those years, which in their leadership bodies voted and directed voting [in the referendum on divorce] not in accordance with the pope's wishes. The approach of 'religious choice' had led Catholic associations to take refuge in all sorts of leftist politics: and there they pushed for divorce, among other things, without any qualms.
Q: On September 8, 1977, Paul VI spoke to his friend Jean Guitton about 'a non-Catholic type of thought' and the resistance of a 'small flock.' For years you have wanted to have these words repeated so that they could be known to everyone. Why?
A: Because that is what is happening. Please read me those words again.
Q: Here they are: There is a great disturbance at this moment in the world and in the Church, and what is in question is the faith. It happens now that I find myself repeating the obscure saying of Jesus in the Gospel of Saint Luke: 'When the Son of man returns, will he find faith on the earth?' It happens that books are published in which important points of the faith are undermined, that the bishops are silent, that these books are not found to be strange. […] What strikes me, when I consider the Catholic world, is that a non-Catholic type of thought seems to predominate sometimes within Catholicism, and this non-Catholic thought might become the stronger one within Catholicism in the future. But it will never represent the thought of the Church. A small flock must remain, however small it may be.
A: These words are the synthesis of the pope's reflection on the situation and destiny of the Church. This is where his openness to CL comes in.
Q: Is there some strong doctrinal point that you feel to be central to the magisterium of Paul VI?
A: The affirmation, completely against the tide, of the Church as an 'ethnic identity sui generis.' On July 23, 1975, it was the heart of his preaching on the identity of the Church at the Wednesday general audiences. We were almost the only ones to take up this idea. Paul VI sensed the destruction of the Catholic presence in society. This presence was hiding itself. Or rather, instead of a Catholic presence, there was an increasingly tired and abstract closing in upon oneself in the offices of the associations, while the concrete lives of the young people themselves lined up to follow the current ideas. Or, instead of the Catholic presence, there was intellectual interpretation in the manner of the Democratic League, of the university students of the FUCI, of the Catholic Alumni. These theorized a conception of the faith that was absolutely elitist, and suicidal for mission. In the third place, the position of the Church came to be identified with political and diplomatic cunning. In any case, I believe that the news about the situation of the Catholic universities, institutes, and schools of theology was decisive in showing clearly to Paul VI the abyss toward which the Church's leadership was dragging everybody else.
Q: Some observers judge the pontificate of Paul VI as a failure.
A: The papacy of Paul VI was one of the greatest papacies! He had demonstrated during the first part of his life an extreme sensitivity for all the problems of the anguished condition of modern man and society. And he found a response! He gave this response during his last ten years. The papacy of Paul VI is a failure only to someone who has not thoroughly examined it.
Q: He is the pope who concluded Vatican Council II.
A: Of course. A history should be compiled of all the courageous, and unpopular, contributions he made to stop false democracy, the dogmatic equivocation that many Council Fathers tried to pass off under a democratic pretext.
Q: What was the method of Paul VI in the face of the dissolution of the Catholic people, the disappearance of the multitudes?
A: It was that of the 'Credo.' This is as much as to say the authentic proclamation of dogma, sine glossa, with clarity, and of the presence of the Church in the world, as in his speech on the Christian people on Wednesday, July 23, 1975.
Q: Paul VI was targeted for his rediscovery of the devil as an actor in human affairs. He was even left alone by the bishops.
A: Pope Montini began to realize the disaster into which the Church was sliding when he noticed the formalism with which the supernatural was considered and represented. For this reason, his speech on the presence of the devil in the world was a challenge – and such a courageous one that it could not have been foreseen in light of his temperament – to the world and to all theology, including Catholic theology, that was coming to agreement with the world.
A: During that month of August, 1978, with one pope dead and another dying, what were you hoping for the Church?
A: A man who would continue an intuitive understanding of the tragedy in which the
Church was submerged. And of the only remedy, which is that of returning to faith in the supernatural as the determining factor in the Church's life, to the authenticity of tradition. In short, I was hoping for a pope who would continue on the way that Paul VI, during his last years, had vigorously pointed out. […] In the end, John Paul II emerged: a pope who is the incarnation of what the last ten years of Paul VI had intuited and expressed.

President Cleveland issues a proclamation declaring the neutrality of the United States in the Cuban revolution against Spanish rule. American sympathy lies with the rebels. However, under the Cleveland administration, the United States adopts a policy of neutrality. This changes, however, during the administration of President William McKinley.


The various computers that made up the first computer generation were interesting both in their architecture and working and this article looks at some interesting facts from back then.
A majority of computer historians consider the first generation to have been built from the year 1946 to 1959 while there are other historians that define the first generation to be from the time when the first computer was offered for sale which would change the date to 1949 to 1959.
· The first computers used vacuum tubes as a key construction of their electronics. These vacuum tubes were primarily used for circuitry.
· Magnetic drums were used for memory purposes in these early computers.
· The computers were huge in size (weighing in up to 30 tonnes) due to their many components and were able to occupy an entire room!
· They were expensive to operate and used up massive quantities of electricity making them only available to the big corporations of that time.
· Instructions given to the computers were done in machine code and electric wired board computer language, which is the lowest language that can be understood by computers.
· They produced a lot of heat which necessitated frequent fusing of the installations and was the cause of many malfunctions.
· Input was based on paper tape, magnetic tape and punched card, while output was displayed on print outs.
· They were slow input and output devices and took a long time to solve problems as well as setting up new problems.
· The first computer to be built in 1946 with vacuum tubes was the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer or simply ENIAC. This computer was huge and occupied around 15,000 square feet of floor space and weighed in at an astonishing 30 tonnes!
· The second computer in this line was the EDSAC or Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator which had the added capacity to store programs than its predecessor.
· The third machine to come along was the UNIVAC or Universal Automatic Computer which was created by scientists John Mauchly and John Presper Eckert and is mostly regarded as the first modern computer.
· In 1953 IBM announced their first commercially mass-produced produced computer in the IBM 650. Support for the IBM 650 and its components units was discontinued in 1969.
· The IBM 701 was the last in the line of the first generation computers and was IBMs first scientific computer. The 701 was succeeded by the more advanced IBM 704 in 1956.
1. They were the fastest calculating computers of their generation.
2. They could perform operations in milliseconds.
1. Machine language used was difficult to learn.
2. The rooms they were stored in needed air conditioning due to allot of heat produced.
3. They were not portable due to their weight and large sizes.
4. Their costs were on the higher sides.
5. They could not handle multiple problems and could only solve one at a time.


Mohammad Ahsanul Kabir, a physician there, says the Rohingya evidently had little exposure to the virus—or vaccines—before they fled.
They weren't getting any WHO-recommended childhood immunizations—not just for chickenpox, but for diseases like diphtheria, measles, and polio. The Myanmar government are "not at all bothered" with providing health care for these people, says Kabir.
And while chickenpox isn't usually life threatening, the outbreak shows how quickly disease can spread in the camps.

The new Animal Crossing Birthday Calendar on My Nintendo reveals no new characters, but don't fret just yet
By A Kay Purcell
A new reward has appeared on My Nintendo: the Printable Animal Crossing 2020 Birthday Calendar, which is available for 80 platinum points. Some fans have been expressing dismay, as the calendar seems to hint that there will not be any new villagers (islanders?) in New Horizons, but there may not be a reason to fret just yet.
It's not like the Animal Crossing franchise really needs new villagers; it boasts a roster of more than 470 villagers across 35 different species. Even so, fans have been hoping for an even bigger roster, with bats, snakes, llamas, and even aliens topping the fandoms most-wanted list, as well as new personalities for villagers–and the ever-popular desire for grumpy villagers to be mean again. The last major title, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, introduced 100 new villagers, and featured a grand total of 333 potential neighbors, including characters who were missing from previous games. The notable exception to Animal Crossing: New Leaf's complete roster was Champ, a jock monkey featured in the Doubutsu no Mori film.
The 2020 Animal Crossing Birthday Calendar denotes March 20th as the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and features the birthdays of the complete current cast of villagers and NPCs, including recent NPCs such as Harvey, who was added to New Leaf in the Welcome Amiibo update. That said, it is missing Champ, as well as new NPCs which have been teased in New Horizons, such as the Dodo running Dodo airlines, and the new beaver character teased on the cover.
It looks like the calendar is intended as a resource for New Leaf, and it is unclear if My Nintendo will be releasing a companion calendar featuring the Animal Crossing: New Horizons once we learn more about the new villagers and NPCs to be found on the deserted island. Animal Crossing: New Horizons releases exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2020.
