IDF soldiers join battle for Holocaust memory, dignity
Posted on May 31, 2019 in: Times of Israel|Jump To Comments
For the first time tech soldiers take part in hackathon, joining entrepreneurs to help preserve memory and raise the quality of life of survivors; 'It is our duty,' says Major E
By SHOSHANNA SOLOMON
IDF soldiers from the C4I and Cyber Defense Directorate took part in the Spark Hackathon, held in May 23-24, 2019, to preserve the memory of the Holocaust and increase the quality of life of the survivors (IDF spokesperson's unit)
For 36 hours last week Israeli high-tech entrepreneurs turned their focus to the plight of Holocaust survivors, striving to find tech solutions to their needs and ways to preserve the memory of events and educate future generations. This year, they were joined, for the first time, by IDF soldiers.
It all started when a group of IDF officers went on a study trip to the concentration camps in Poland, as part of an army program to increase awareness of the Holocaust among its soldiers. There, said Major E, who was part of the delegation, they met with a Holocaust survivor who recounted the horrors of the camps in a first-person narrative.
"Sometimes there are no witnesses present during these kind of trips," Major E, a female soldier whose identity cannot be revealed for security purposes, said in an interview with The Times of Israel. But their group had the chance to speak to one, and that got Major E thinking.
"I said to myself, in a few years there won't be Holocaust survivors alive to bear firsthand witness," she said. So she turned to her commanding officer and he challenged her to come up with a solution that would enable IDF soldiers to do their part in helping commemorate the tragedy and assist the survivors.
The best solution, she thought, would be to join the existing Spark Hackathon.

The Spark Hackathon, held for the second year running, saw some 200 participants, entrepreneurs, developers, and mentors from the tech world team up with Holocaust survivors and representatives of nonprofit organizations for two days last week to set up projects and find feasible solutions that will help commemoration and education.
The hackathon is the first of its kind the IDF has participated in, Major E said.
The 30 IDF soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, who took part in the initiative were from the C4I and Cyber Defense Directorate of the army. "It is our duty," said Major E. "Our country should not be taken for granted and it should not be taken for granted that there is an army that protects this nation."
The Holocaust victims and the survivors "didn't have a country" to protect them, she said. "We are a technological unit. We want to do what we do best, for the good of those who have gone through so much. "
An IDF team that set up an diary app — for users to write about their feelings and emotions and pictures while visiting the camps — won third place in the hackathon, she said, while the team she led, which reached the finalist stage, came up with a GPS-based emergency button that older people can take with them when they leave the house. Users can wear the button on a chain around their necks or wrists or even on a keychain, she explained. Once pressed, the button would call up either an emergency contact person or emergency services, providing them with the accurate location of the person in distress.
Now, said Major E, the IDF has given the go-ahead to proceed with the development of both ideas. The diary app, once created, will be made available to soldiers who go to Poland, she explained, while the emergency button will be developed within the army and hopefully launched as a pilot program together with Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality.
The Spark 2019 hackathon was held on May 23-24 with the goal of creating "workable solutions for challenges in education, remembrance and quality of life of Holocaust survivors," the website says. A second goal is to create a "powerful and meaningful event" to inspire participants.
The winner of the competition was AloTok, which has developed a phone-based app that uses advanced technology to create optimal connections between users, based on their availability and shared fields of interests. The app aims to become the first social network of its kind to provide a warm, secure and accessible community atmosphere where senior citizens and Holocaust survivors can "form meaningful high-quality relationships."

Producer Director
William whitefield
was the Executive Director at Algonquin Arts Theatre in Manasquan, NJ for six years. As Executive Director, he was responsible for overseeing the Production, Education, Development, Marketing & Box Office staff, and making all programming and artistic decisions. As Executive Director, he produced over 30 main stage Broadway style shows such as the New Jersey premiere of Spamalot starring Robert Johanson, Joseph….., Tuesdays with Morrie, The 1940s Radio Hour, The Music Man, Always, Patsy Cline starring Sally Stuthers and Carter Calvert, Kids Say the Darndest Things starring Patrick Cassidy, My Fair Lady starring Glory Crampton and Robert Johanson, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Shrek, The King & I, Annie Get Your Gun and South Pacific. The once struggling Main Stage Series took on a life of its own and has since moved the theatre from a large deficit to a comfortable surplus in just a few short years.
For two years prior to his tenure as Executive Director, William was the Director of Arts Education at AAT where he turned the fledgling Theatre School into what is now an award-winning, first-class Performing Arts Academy that continues to serve over 400 students each year. During that time he also started the Asbury Park High School Acting Studio, which was an after school program that gave students the chance to appear over the course of three years in several main stage school productions such as You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, Grease, Little Shop of Horrors, Voices from the High School and Teen Scene. The program, which had been non-existent for fifteen years, was so successful that the Asbury Park school district elected to hire a full time drama and dance teacher.
For three years prior to Algonquin Arts Theatre, he was the Associate Director alongside Producing Artistic Director Bill Castellino at Western Michigan's Cherry County Playhouse as well as the first Director of Musical Development and a member of the Founding Board of Directors for The Genesius Guild in New York.
As the Co-Founder & Producing Artistic Director of Asbury Park Theater Company, he is currently working with the newly formed theater's Co- Founder & Managing Director Bob Angelini and their Board of Directors to launch their first professional season in Spring of 2022.

Many Jewish composers have chosen to set Pitchu Li to music, including Robbie Solomon, Julie Silver, Josh Nelson and Dan Nichols. Today however, I would like to draw your attention to a new melody by Deborah Sacks Mintz. Sacks Mintz is a composer, singer, guitarist, and rabbinical student at the Jewish Theological Seminary. She collaborates with many rising stars of new Jewish music such as Joey Weisberg, Josh Warshawsky, Elana Arian, Chava Mirel and Shani Ben Or. Her setting of Pitchu Li, which can be heard here: https://youtu.be/DAyYjCtOmzw, is a haunting, lyrical and joyous melody. The two contrasting A and B sections highlight the text and the harmony created between the two vocal parts is stunning. To learn more about Deborah Sacks Mintz, and listen to her music, visit her website, https://www.deborahsacksmintz.com/. To hear her setting of Pitchu Li live, join us for Shabbat Pesach Services on Saturday, April 20 and 7th Day Pesach Services on Friday, April 26th.

Normally this pumpkin spiced time of year you'd find me (a) cursing the hashtag #30daysofthanks (who has the time for that crap, seriously?!) and (b) inserting the hashtag #goodtimes with a hearty helping of sarcasm. I'm happy to report I've felt a shift, and by that I don't mean I've had to loosen my belt by a notch or two.
What 'sup? A seasoned autism mom I respect immensely served up this comment, in response to my post about the pitfalls of autism helicopter parenting: give in or embrace the [autism] journey; there is no in-between. Now let's talk turkey: those words forever changed me, and it's not just because my twelve-year-old son is twice my size and currently can't finish a sentence without referencing Santa Claus (see photo evidence to your left). It is because time flies (see photo evidence to your left, taken 3 full weeks before Thanksgiving).
I have chosen the embrace, without a single reservation. Maybe it's what I've hungered for all along? Consider the publishing of J.R.'s photo with Santa my "coming out." Oh and F.Y.I., he was ECSTATIC in that moment. Think Will Farrell as Buddy Elf.
Here's the meat and potatoes: combine wit, hilarity, caring (except in the case of his little brother), and fold in a smidgen of soul– that's my kid. Also on the menu? For starters, he often wins at arguments against me. That is hard to swallow! Last month he proclaimed his love for the parts of speech, even the adverb. This month he's obsessed over the Spanish language and has asked me to teach him nearly every word in it. I have, and el placer has been all mine. My just deserts? Te quiero, mi hijo are now my parting words to him as he heads to bed each night.
My life with J.R. so far has been a feast for the senses. And although it's been a struggle to not want to pepper his successes with asterisks, I feel star reviewed every single time he looks my way. And in all honestly, fighting the battle of the bulge has been exhausting. I can't restrict my son from the head table of life anymore, even if I wanted to. I am a small bite to his smorgasbord.
Hold onto your forks, people: I don't mean to turn up the heat and suggest I embrace autism itself. I have little taste for that mindset. Rather, I grasp and cling to the fantastic person my son has become in spite of everything he's been through. From soup to nuts, my potluck life with J.R. has been anything but bland. In fact, we're gearing to spice things up around here.
It's about that time again we welcome some elfin magic into our home. To sweeten the pot J.R. has deduced our Elf on the Shelf, who we named Chippie, must have a birthday. And we must therefore throw him a birthday party (and pizza feast) upon his arrival. Of course we do. And like a boss short-order cook, you guessed it, I am all in. I truly cannot wait. If you've met me, you know Chippie's gift is already wrapped (he'll be receiving a denim jacket and a pair of Converse). This outfit should not be confused with his actual birthday outfit, which I think may require a quick iron. Is this embracing or embarrassing, I wonder?
As I take the time to skim through the links included in this blog entry (past the cornball buffet of clichés), it's as easy as pie to see a pattern. I rant about autism, and eventually rave review the young man who has it. Skipping the first course, maybe, will remind me just how bountiful a plate I have.
How great the course of my life has been compliments of my ambrosia, my J.R.. Great and full. Sweet!


This past weekend's TV premiere of The Invisible Red Thread was a success! And that is all thanks to viewers like you who helped spread the news.
My husband and I watched it last night, very moving. Brought back many memories of our time in Jiangxi.
I found it very interesting to see the contrasting lives between the two families. Really, really enjoyed this film. Hope the girls are able to keep in contact over the years.
Congratulations! It was a great. Thought provoking. I really like the interview with Shumin's birth parents. We rarely if never hear from BP and it was very interesting to hear their prospective.

Aadhaar Database Wasn't Hacked To Fetch Details Of Trai Chairman RS Sharma: UIDAI
30 Jul'18 5 min read
•	RS Sharma tweeted his Aadhaar number, throwing an open challenge to people to do him harm based on the number
•	Twitterati, including ethical hacker Elliot Alderson published Sharma's personal information on Twitter
•	The UIDAI said Sharma's personal details were available online and had not been fetched from Aadhaar database
While Facebook, faced with a $5.7 Bn US tax bill, was just hit by a 'Thanos Snap' that wiped out over $120 Bn of its market value within 24 hrs, with its shares plunging over 20%, Twitter continues to be a Kurukshetra (battleground) for Orwellian discourses.
Trump apart, Aadhaar data security — which has been continuously challenged by hackers and security analysts — is the centre point of many such discourses on Twitter, with Twitterati trolling policymakers and the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
However, this time for a change, an Aadhaar challenge was thrown by none other than the chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Ram Sewak Sharma. An IAS, IIT-Kanpur and University of California alumnus, Sharma has also served as the director general of the UIDAI and secretary of the department of electronics and information technology (under the ministry of communications and information technology of the Centre) in the past.
Sharma, reacting to a Tweet challenging him to walk his talk by publishing his own Aadhaar number on Twitter if he had trust in the system, actually shared his Aadhaar number and threw a counter challenge asking anyone to harm him in any manner on the basis of this information.
While Twitterati reacted instantly by making Sharma's mobile number and WhatsApp profile image public, the UIDAI, in a press statement, asserted that even if Sharma had made his Aadhaar public, nobody could actually fetch or mobilise any information that could be directly linked or cooked with his Aadhaar number.
The UIDAI also clarified that any information published on Twitter about the Sharma was not "fetched from the Aadhaar database or UIDAI's servers." In fact, it added that this "so-called hacked information" — Sharma's personal details such as his address, date of birth, photograph, mobile number, email, etc — was already available in the public domain as Sharma has been a public servant for decades. It added that this information was easily available on Google and various other sites through a simple search without Aadhaar number.
Sharma's personal details were earlier published by the French security researcher Robert Batiste aka Elliot Alderson and others on Twitter.
Elliot Alderson has often rebuked Aadhaar security by publishing website links containing Aadhaar data on Twitter. The hacker also posted a video explaining, "How to bypass the password protection of the official #Aadhaar #android #app in 1 minute."

Why Did RS Sharma Share His Aadhaar Number On Twitter?
An anonymous Twitter user tweeting from the handle @kingslyj challenged Sharma to share his Aadhaar number if he had "so much trust in this 13ft wall secured system". @kingslyj tweet was a reaction to a recent article on ThePrint entitled 'What harm can you do to me if you have my Aadhaar details, asks Trai chairman RS Sharma'.
In response to @kingslyj's tweet, RS Sharma, on July 28, published his Aadhaar number challenging people to do him any harm with the information.
Sharma tweeted, "My Aadhaar number is 7621 XXXX XXXX. Now I give this challenge to you, show me one concrete example where you can do any harm to me."
Following this, Aadhaar detractor and ethical hacker Elliot Alderson, in a series of tweets, posted Sharma's publicly available information including his mobile numbers, email ID, and his WhatsApp profile images. However, Anderson erroneously claimed that no bank accounts were associated with the Aadhaar ID, to which Sharma responded, "I have linked all my bank accounts with Aadhaar, for your kind information."
Very soon, some others posted his bank account details too.
Aadhaar Database Is Fully Safe And Secure: UIDAI Statement
The next day, on July 29, the UIDAI, in a thread of 17 tweets, dismissed any possible hacks of Aadhaar data, maintaining that any information published on Twitter about Sharma had not been fetched from the Aadhaar database or the UIDAI's servers.
The Aadhaar database authority stated, "Certain so-called hackers while responding to a challenge thrown by Sharma to attempt to really 'harm him by using his Aadhaar', have claimed to have found his mob no., PAN & other details such as alt. mob no., DoB, email, photo, frequent flight details, etc, through Aadhaar. They boasted that they had got Sharma's aforesaid personal details by hacking Aadhaar database. This so-called claim is a farce and people should not believe such fraudulent elements active on social and other media."
"Aadhaar database is fully safe and secure and no such information about Sharma has been fetched from UIDAI's severs or Aadhaar database. This is merely cheap publicity by these unscrupulous elements who try to attract attention by creating such fake news. Factually anyone can google or visit other sources and find out Sh. Sharma's personal details without Aadhaar. For example, Sh. Sharma's mobile number is available on NIC website as he was once Secretary IT, Government of India."
This is not the first time, or the last, that the world's largest biometric programme, Aadhaar, has been attacked on Twitter over a series of data leaks and security loopholes. In fact, such attacks on Aadhaar and its supporters are a frequent thing on Twitter. In fact, thanks to the Aadhaar controversy that the Indian government had finally accepted the Right to Privacy as people's fundamental right after a Supreme Court's verdict.
It, therefore, had a role to play in the formulation of a draft Personal Data Protection Bill, which was submitted to the government by the Justice Srikrishna committee on Friday, July 27.
However, the point of concern here is not that RS Sharma's personal details could or could not be hacked out the Aadhaar database. It's no secret, how Aadhaar data has been fetched right from the application phase to from buying access to its admin login IDs, the fundamental point, therefore, is why to hack Aadhaar if there are multiple leaks in the Aadhaar system! And, the UIDAI can't shy away from the leaks that have already led to the UIDAI blacklisting and blocking of 49K Aadhaar operators.

If you get into a tailspin deciding what to wear to a party or become paralyzed trying to figure out whether or not to take that new job, you, like many of us are indecisive. And that feels like being stuck in the mud. "There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision," said famous psychologist and philosopher William James. But, this shouldn't worry you because with a little skill, you can get better at it.
Indecisiveness mostly sprouts out of fear. Ask yourself what you are afraid of and write it down. Imagine what you'll do if what you fear comes to pass. For example, you're considering a job change, but you fear lack of money. The new job pays less than your current job, but it involves something you're passionate about. Decide how you would deal with reduced income, then set the fear aside and make the decision that seems best to you. As they say, everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear.
Most people who have trouble making decisions tend to over-analyze. Often, applying highest logic or having ample information doesn't make the decision any easier to make. Set a time limit for your research and list the pros and cons of each option. Then, quickly rate each option on a scale of one to ten. The option with the highest number is the option you must go with.
As they say, practice makes man perfect, start making small decisions every day. You could decide what you're going to have for lunch or what route you should take to work. As little things come up throughout the day, make faster decisions. Don't put it off unless it's a big one. Set a time limit for yourself and decide.
List your strengths down. Try to incorporate your strengths into your decision-making. So, if you're creative, make a collage of the choices you've to decide between. Finally, accept the good enough option.
Will it matter 10 years from now?
You might be struggling with a new car purchase. Will it matter 10 years from now which car you chose? If your answer is yes, make the decision carefully. But, don't let decisions loom large on your mind. Remember that nearly all decisions are reversible. You could always sell the car if it doesn't work out. Move back if you don't like the new city. Quit the horrible job. Try not to take decisions too seriously. You learn by erring.
Eminent psychologist/philosopher William James had said, "When you have to make a choice and don't make it, that is in itself a choice". If you find yourself in a deadlock even after taking many opinions and advices, use a coin to break the psychic logjam. Indecision is all about avoiding 1) the choice between two options, one of which has to be adopted, or 2) the choice between two fairly equal alternatives. In both cases, the decision may well be heads or tails.
Winston Churchill believed that the only guide to man is his conscience. According to experts, people generally know what the "right" choice is, yet they allow themselves to think about the lesser, lower path. This is where indecisiveness takes birth and makes the slope slick and steep. Trust your gut, always.

Good Bye America, It Was Good to Know You
Dr. Robert Owens May 17, 2015 3 Views
It used to be that as one grew older their experience developed wisdom that could help guide succeeding generations. Today the world moves too fast. In some ways my 10-year-old granddaughter knows more intuitively about computers than I do after working online since there was an online.
My father grew up plowing with mules as had his father and his grandfather and so on back to houses with no floors, no running water and no electricity. While they had passed wisdom down for uncounted generations, what they had to say to the flower children of America's prosperity seemed hopelessly out of date just as what we have to say to the children of the Millennials seems like gibberish from the Dark Ages.
One thing however remained a constant. We were all Americans. We all believed in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. We not only expected our freedoms we came to take our heritage for granted. Today most people can tell you more about their local sports teams than they can about their government or the History of America. None of us get the luxury of living in the country we grew up in yet in the past we could at least look forward to living in one that shared the same values and generally the same goals.
Trending: The IRS continues to pillage the populace with little-known 'inheritance' scheme
Today, as our values swirl the drain and our goals have morphed from freedom to free access to government largess, we are staring into the maw of an existential crisis that threatens to leave our children with the proverbial bowl of pottage for which we traded their future.
Completing this poll grants you access to Freedom Outpost updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to this site's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
What is this issue that dramatically portends the ultimate doom of the America in which most of us grew up? As a British politician once said, "Demographics is destiny."
It used to be if the politicians were out of step with the voters the voters threw them out at the next election. Now our politicians have decided to import new voters who will support them and submerge us.
Just when you thought we were safe from the latest version of the Children's Crusade there is another surge of unaccompanied minors breaking on our borders like a tsunami. The second wave of unaccompanied illegal immigrant children has begun, with more than 3,000 of them surging across the Mexican border into the U.S. last month — the highest rate since the peak of last summer's crisis and a warning that another rough season could be ahead.
Immigration officials warned that they expected another surge as the weather improved. Although the numbers are down some 40 percent compared with last year's frenetic pace that sparked a political crisis for the Obama administration, fiscal year 2015 is shaping up to mark the second-biggest surge on record.
If this sounds ominous for us, never fear our ever vigilant Big Brother has a solution. Why don't we just spring for a free flight, education, health care and food stamps ad infinitum?
To facilitate the often treacherous process of entering the United States illegally through the southern border, the Obama administration is offering free transportation from three Central American countries and a special refugee/parole program with "resettlement assistance" and permanent residency.
Under the new initiative the administration has re-branded the official name it originally assigned to the droves of illegal immigrant minors who continue sneaking into the U.S. They're no longer known as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC), a term that evidently was offensive and not politically correct enough for the powerful open borders movement. The new arrivals will be officially known as Central American Minors (CAM) and they will be eligible for a special refugee/parole that offers a free one-way flight to the U.S. from El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras. The project is a joint venture between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the State Department.
Specifically, the "program provides certain children in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras with a safe, legal, and orderly alternative to the dangerous journey that some children are undertaking to the United States," according to a DHS memo obtained by JW this week. The document goes on to say that the CAM program has started accepting applications from "qualifying parents" to bring their offspring under the age of 21 from El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras. The candidates will then be granted a special refugee parole, which includes many taxpayer-funded perks and benefits. Among them is a free education, food stamps, medical care and living expenses.
I often wonder since we cannot know who or where the illegals are off in the shadows how do conveniently locate them to apply for programs, give interviews, attend inaugurations, or do anything else. Then again they do gather in large numbers to demonstrate for more rights. You would think the TV lights would at least brighten up the shadows a little bit.
Since it wouldn't be sporting to have so many people living, eating and breeding in America and not allow them to vote our visionary masters have that one figured out as well.
New York City is routinely described as a "global hub", a place so thoroughly penetrated by international capital and migration that it seems at once within and without the United States. It is the center of American commerce and media, but its politics, demographics and worldly outlook make the Big Apple an outlier.
New York may be about to become even more distinct. The left-leaning New York City Council is currently drafting legislation that would allow all legal residents, regardless of citizenship, the right to vote in city elections. If the measure passes into law, it will mark a major victory for a voting rights campaign that seeks to enfranchise non-citizen voters in local elections across the country. A few towns already permit non-citizen residents to vote locally, but New York City would be by far the largest jurisdiction to do so.
Under the likely terms of the legislation, legally documented residents who have lived in New York City for at least six months will be able to vote in municipal elections. Reports suggest that the city council is discussing the legislation with Mayor Bill de Blasio's office, and that a bill might be introduced as soon as this spring.
While the legislation stands a good chance of sailing through the council and even winning the approval of the mayor, the prospect of New York City enfranchising its residents has stoked controversy. Many Americans find the idea of non-citizen voting entirely unpalatable and fear that it undermines the sanctity and privilege of citizenship.
Advocates for non-citizen voting in New York City argue that it would right a glaring wrong. Invoking the ancient American battle cry of "no taxation without representation", they point to the enormous numbers of non-citizen residents who pay taxes, send their children to public schools, are active members of their communities, but have no say in local elections. This could add up to as many as one million voters.
Let's see no voter ID allowed. No purging of dead people from the voter lists allowed. Non-citizens voting is allowed can illegal alien voting be far behind? Of course they would never be allowed to vote in a presidential election, no how no way…..;--)
And how are they supposed to get to the welfare office, the emergency room or the post office to pick up their check from the IRS for not paying taxes (Earned Income Tax Credit) without a driver's license? Oh wait the America Last crowd has a fix for that too.
A surge of undocumented immigrants seeking driver's licenses has surprised the California Department of Motor Vehicles, pouring in at twice the rate officials expected and underscoring the massive interest in the new program.
Just three months after driver's licenses became available to immigrants living in California illegally, the product of legislation advocates had pursued fruitlessly for years before prevailing and passing Assembly Bill 60 in 2013, 493,998 have sought licenses. The number has surprised officials who spent months bracing for an influx of new customers by hiring staff, opening new DMV offices and extending hours.
"The interest in this program is far greater than anyone anticipated," DMV Director Jean Shiomoto said in a statement.
In preparing to offer the new licenses, the DMV estimated that about 1.4 million immigrants would apply over the course of three years. The new figures show they have handled one-third of that expected total in three months, a rate double what the DMV expected, although the official estimate of the total number of eligible applicants remains the same. About 203,000 people have received licenses.
Following the trail to the Fundamentally Transformed Amerika of course brings us proudly to motor-voter, that legacy from the Clinton administration, another gift that just keeps on giving.
Local and state government officials are registering non-U.S. citizens as valid voters — even when the non-citizens say they are not Americans on their voter registration forms, a former Justice Department attorney tells The Daily Caller.
J. Christian Adams, a former United States Department of Justice official in the Civil Rights Division will show the Supreme Court in a brief later this month that non-citizens are registering to vote through the government's motor voter program. The motor voter act became law during the Clinton administration as an easier way to register voters through their local Department of Motor Vehicles offices, but Adams says the program is failing to weed out those who are not American citizens.
At least our educational system will teach our children what America is all about? They will instill in them a decent appreciation for our system, our History and our values.
Oh wait a minute the Denver Public School system is allowing immigrants who have resided illegally in the United States since they were children to teach in its classrooms under a relaxed employment policy advanced by the Obama administration, district officials said this week.
Denver has hired teachers in the program as part of its participation with Teach for America, which places teachers in low-income schools, many of whom are recent college graduates without a background in education.
Fred Elbel, director of the Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform, an organization that opposes granting any type of legal status to such immigrants, criticized the program.
"There are at least 20 million Americans who either do not have a full-time job or are underemployed. This includes teachers," he said. "It is unlikely that most of the illegal aliens with (DACA) status are trained, qualified and certified as educators."
So if the illegals are teaching our children what do you think they learn about illegal immigration? Oh excuse me I mean Undocumented Voters.
Now that I think about it the status for some of our visitors is changing. These aren't illegal aliens they are refugees. This gives them a special status according to our blue helmeted world government over at the U.N.
Take New Hampshire as an example. The number of refugees arriving annually in New Hampshire has waned in recent years, down from a peak of 559 in 2009 to 345 in 2014. However, those numbers represent a small fraction of the total number of refugees resettled nationally. During the last fiscal year, for example, 7,214 refugees arrived in Texas, 6,108 in California, 4,082 in New York, 4,006 in Michigan and 1,941 in Massachusetts. Connecticut and Maine resettled slightly more than New Hampshire; Vermont and Rhode Island resettled slightly fewer.
What rights are we obligated by the U.N. to provide our reclassified visitors? It cannot be many, right? Here is the official list:
Articles 12 - 30 of the Refugee Convention set out the rights that individuals are entitled to once they have been recognized as Convention refugees:
All refugees must be granted identity papers and travel documents that allow them to travel outside the country
Refugees must receive the same treatment as nationals of the receiving country concerning the following rights:
Free exercise of religion and religious education
Free access to the courts, including legal assistance
Access to elementary education
Access to public relief and assistance
Protection provided by social security
Protection of intellectual property, such as inventions and trade names
Protection of literary, artistic and scientific work
Equal treatment by taxing authorities
Refugees must receive the most favorable treatment provided to nationals of a foreign country concerning the following rights:
The right to belong to trade unions
The right to belong to other non-political non-profit organizations
The right to engage in wage-earning employment
Refugees must receive the most favorable treatment possible, which must be at least as favorable to that accorded aliens generally in the same circumstances, concerning the following rights:
The right to own property
The right to practice a profession
The right to self-employment
Access to housing
Refugees must receive the same treatment as that accorded to aliens generally concerning the following rights:
The right to choose their place of residence
The right to move freely within the country
Protection of intellectual property,
such as inventions and trade names
Being a nation of immigrants I am sure the average American is totally on board with these policies. Maybe not, despite President Obama's efforts to cool the nation's views on illegal immigrants storming over the U.S.-Mexico border, Americans have reached a new level of anger over the issue, with most demanding a more aggressive deportation policy and reversal of an interpretation of the 14th Amendment that currently grants citizenship to kids of illegals born in the U.S.
A new Rasmussen Reports survey released Monday also finds Americans questioning spending tax dollars on government aid provided to illegal immigrants. A huge 83 percent said that anybody should be required to prove that they are "legally allowed" to be in the country before receiving local, state or federal government services.
Overall, the poll is bad news for the White House because it shows sustained, and in some cases, elevated anger and frustration over the surge in undocumented immigrants in the United States. For example, 62 percent told the pollster that the U.S. is "not aggressive enough" in deporting those illegally in the United States. Just 15 percent believed the administration's current policy was "about right" and 16 percent said it was "too aggressive."
That 62 percent number was a jump from a year ago when it was 52 percent.
When asked if the baby of an illegal born in the United States should automatically become a U.S. citizen, as is now the law, 54 percent said no versus 38 percent who said yes.
In another area that seems to test American patience with the administration, 51 percent said that illegal immigrants who have American-born children should not be exempt from deportation.
No matter how the haters try to stop it at least this tidal wave drowning America in the third world is all being done legally, or is it?
Take the celebrated case of a Federal Judge trying to staunch the flow down in Texas. President Obama's new deportation amnesty will remain halted, a federal judge in Texas ruled Tuesday night in an order that also delivered a judicial spanking to the President's lawyers for misleading the court.
Judge Andrew S. Hanen, who first halted the amnesty in February, just two days before it was to take effect, said he's even more convinced of his decision now, particularly after Mr. Obama earlier this year said he intends for his policies to supersede federal laws.
Judge Hanen pointed to Mr. Obama's comments at a February town hall when the President warned immigration agents to adhere to his policies or else face "consequences."
"In summary, the chief executive has ordered that the laws requiring removal of illegal immigrants that conflict with the 2014 DHS directive are not to be enforced, and that anyone who attempts to do so will be punished," Judge Hanen wrote.
"This is not merely ineffective enforcement. This is total non-enforcement," the judge continued, saying that Mr. Obama's descriptions of how he is carrying out his policies have hurt his case.
Mr. Obama in November announced a new amnesty for illegal immigrant parents whose children are either U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. The amnesty could apply to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants.
Texas and 25 other states sued to stop Mr. Obama, and Judge Hanen sided with them, finding that they suffered an economic harm from the policy, granting them standing in court, and then finding that the President broke the law in bypassing Congress to announce his policy.
The administration has appealed Judge Hanen's ruling, but also asked the judge to reconsider.
On Tuesday, the judge not only refused to reconsider, but also said the administration misled him when it said no part of the amnesty had been implemented, and the lawyers bungled their attempt to try to repair the damage by filing an "advisory" with the judge early last month.
Since November, the administration had been granting a three-year amnesty to illegal immigrant Dreamers under the new policy. That's a year longer than the two-year program Mr. Obama announced for the Dreamers in 2012.
More than 100,000 applications were approved for the three-year amnesty between Nov. 21 and the February date when Judge Hanen halted the program.
"Whether by ignorance, omission, purposeful misdirection, or because they were misled by their clients, the attorneys for the government misrepresented the facts," the judge said, adding that he was stunned the government waited for two more weeks after his ruling to inform him that the applications had already been processed. In addition, the DHS broke the judge's order moving forward in approving amnesty applications despite injunction
Texas argues that had it known applications were being processed, it would have taken extra legal steps to try to halt the program earlier.
Judge Hanen said he might still issue sanctions against the government for misleading him though he declined to strike the government's pleadings, which would have essentially closed the case and granted victory to Texas.
The judge said that while that may be warranted, it would do a disservice to the weighty issues at stake in the case, including fundamental issues of presidential power.
What about that passport to everything else a legal Social Security number? That has to be well regulated to make sure none of our uninvited guests can gain unfettered access to the entire social network we have built and paid for, doesn't it?
The Obama administration has issued more than half a million new Social Security Numbers (SSN) to illegal immigrants granted amnesty under President Obama's Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals program.
In a letter to Sens. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Ben Sasse (R-NE), exclusively obtained by Breitbart News, the Social Security Administration (SSA) reveals that, by the end of Fiscal Year 2014, the Obama administration "had issued approximately 541,000 original SSNs to individuals authorized to work under the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy since its inception" in 2012.
What do we face in America today?
A government dedicated to importing enough voters to achieve unassailable dominance.
A government that is out of control, ignoring laws and trampling on the rights of its own citizens in favor of those who have crashed the gate.
If the Constitution was established to guarantee Americans a limited government what can we say except that, at this moment in American History, the Constitution Failed.
Looking at the sad state of our Republic about all I have left to say is, "Goodbye, America, it was good to know you."

This mug says it best! Drink your cup of #45 Blend Coffee and imagine it's melted fragile snowflakes. Liberals love to whine and cry about other people.

"Parler" Official T-Shirt
Parler was founded in 2018 and is based in Henderson, Nevada.

Trump "Mr. Clean" T-Shirt (Parody)
No collusion with Russia. Lowest unemployment rate in decades. Bringing Kim Jong-un to his knees. Yeah, President Trump is doing a good job. He isn't just getting things done – he's EXCELLING. Even Never-Trumpers have to be surprised, at this point. The office sought out Trump during a time when America needed him most. It...
I'm Your Huckleberry
If he lived in the Old West, President Trump would be Doc Holliday – a sharpshooting marksman who gets the job done! Numbers don't lie. The economy is up and unemployment is down. It's really that simple. As of today, POTUS stands an excellent chance at being re-elected to a second term in 2020. America...
Grab It Again 2020
Because of President Trump's conservative policies, America is WINNING AGAIN! Long gone are the days of Obama and the country is FAR better off because of it. Trump's economy is thriving and unemployment for all is at record low numbers. That's not a fluke. Trump has shown the nation that he has what it takes...
Crumbling News Network
CNN's ratings are in the garbage and for good reason. The extremely far-left, anti-Trump propaganda network acts as the mouthpiece of the Democrat Party, constantly doing all they can to tear down a president who has done so much good for the nation. Hosts like Don Lemon, Jake Tapper, and Alyson Camerota can't see straight...
Every single 2020 Democrat candidate wants to strip Americans of their right to the Second Amendment. Some have said it openly, while others try to be a little deceiving. And yet, they are fooling nobody. Liberals don't understand the point of gun ownership, despite seeing what's going on in places like Venezuela and North Korea...
SCREW SOCIALISM!
SCREW SOCIALISM! What has it done for any country besides cast its people into abject poverty!? Once implemented, you have to fight your way out – and it's not easy. Who in their right mind would want the government to be given more control? With socialism in place, every citizen fails together and nobody is...
In their never-ending attempt to eradicate the Constitution, Democrats are continuing to win small battles across the country. The Founding Fathers must've turned in their graves 100s of times over. Just the other day an elementary school decided to drop "God Bless America" after the "Pledge of Allegiance," all because it hurt the feelings of...
Socialism: Fight Your Way Out T-Shirt
Democrats like Bernie Sanders love pointing to European countries as examples of how socialism works for the people. The reality is that Bernie and his ilk are full of it! With socialism, everyone fails together and nobody is allowed to get ahead. Under capitalism, citizens can thrive and take advantage of opportunities. This is what...
Dangerous Liberty Over Peaceful Slavery T-Shirt
Every proud American patriot would agree that it is better to die on your feet than live on your knees. Democrats might not agree but that's because they don't know anything of which they speak! The party of slavery continues to forcibly control their subjects by promising more and more free stuff in exchange for...
Last Ride T-Shirt
God, guns, and America. Could there be a more perfect trio? The Second Amendment was put in place by the Founding Fathers for a reason and it must be defended at all costs. Take Venezuela, for example. The socialist nation is in complete disarray as civilians scrounge for food and water thanks to an overreaching...
"Game Over" — Trump T-Shirt (Parody)
Make 'Merica Great Again Red Cap
Begins shipping May 1st! It has been roughly four years since the debut of the "Make America Great Again" hat and liberals are still triggered to the max. If a radical liberal sees anyone, of any ethnicity, wearing a MAGA cap, they are likely to lash out verbally and/or physically. Men, women, children – doesn't...
In a field of extremely weak Democrats, undeclared 2020 candidate Joe Biden is king. For some reason, he continues to lead in the polls. "Creepy" Joe has made waves recently for being so touchy-feely over the years, even JOKING about sexual misconduct after being accused by multiple women of inappropriate touching. This guy, huh? What better way to stick it to Biden and ALL Dems than by wearing a shirt that shows Obama's VP groping you?

AL not in favour of banning student politics: Quader
Published: October 13, 2019 20:15:23 | Updated: October 14, 2019 10:39:07
Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Sunday said Awami League (AL) does not back the idea of banning student politics but legal action will be taken if anyone commits any misdeed in the name of politics.
He came up with the remarks while talking to reporters at the Circuit House in the town before attending the conference of divisional AL representatives, reports UNB.
Asked about the ongoing drives against casino business and corruption, Quader said all those involved in such activities are under the surveillance of law enforcers.
Replying to a query about the absence of Jubo League Chairman Omar Faruk at its presidium meeting and about his bank account enquiry, Quader said it will be known later whether he is under surveillance or not.
Quader said, "We want a smart, modern Awami League. We don't want any polluted blood in the party."
The AL general secretary asked the grassroots-level leaders to form new committees (of those which have expired) before the AL national council and negligence of anyone in this regard will not be tolerated, he warned.


New York – September 25, 2014 – The Mobile Marketing Association (MMA), the leading global trade association for the mobile industry, today announced the launch of the Internet of Things (IoT) Incubation Council. The IoT Incubation Council, which will bring together various experts in IoT, marketing and technology fields, will focus on examining and understanding the impact that IoT technologies, like wearables and the connected car, will have on marketing and how they'll change the way brands create products and services to interact with consumers.
Mobile has clearly transformed business and has changed what's possible for marketers as they engage their consumers. Now we are seeing how the Internet of Things is further disrupting the way in which brand marketers connect with their consumers. In essence, the product has become the medium," said Sheryl Daija, chief strategy officer at the MMA. "The Council will help marketers prepare for this next mobile phenomenon and create a culture of education, experimentation and innovation.
As the IoT industry continues to pick up steam, it's becoming clear that the next tech phenomenon will not be browser-based, but rather a mobile-driven Internet created by objects and apps that are able to intelligently communicate with each other. Through a network of interconnected devices, the IoT will help us complete everyday tasks – from exercising and sleeping to powering cars and living in connected homes – in a more efficient and streamlined way. With the recent introduction of devices like the Apple Watch and large acquisitions of device manufacturers, like Google's $3.2 billion acquisition of Nest, this revolution is closer than many think. In fact, Gartner predicts that the wearable market will reach $12 billion by 2018, up from zero in 2009.
The MMA has already appointed two industry experts to co-chair the Council, including Richard Ting, EVP, global executive creative director, mobile & social platforms, at R/GA, and Gregory Kennedy, VP of marketing at Tapsense. The MMA will select and invite a number of other industry influencers and leaders to join the IoT Incubation Council in the coming weeks.
The IoT is still in its infancy but we're already seeing many different vertical industries, from health care to energy monitoring, embrace this movement to create new disruptive products and services," said Ting. "Before brand marketers jump on this trend, they need to take a step back and think about what value-added products and services they can create for consumers – before leveraging it as a marketing or advertising channel.
Key goals of the IoT Incubation Council will be to ensure brands are educated on industry advancements and prepared for its inevitable adoption. It will also serve as a think tank and will work to foster innovation in the way that brands approach IoT and wearable device marketing.
The launch of the IOT Incubation Council coincides with the MMA's upcoming SM2 Innovation Summit at Highline Stages during NYC Advertising Week on September 30-October 1. Focused on how mobile is driving the innovation of marketing, SM2 will feature an "experience room" focused on the IoT, where attendees can touch, feel and interact with a variety of wearable technologies and even check out a Lincoln MKZ Connected Car. Richard Ting will also kick-off two days of sessions, which will include presentations from Facebook, Unilever, Hasbro, BNY Mellon, Ford and others. If you're interested in attending SM2, please visit: http://www.mmaglobal.com/sm2/register.
The Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) is the premier global non-profit trade association established to lead the growth of mobile marketing and its associated technologies. The MMA is an action-oriented organisation designed to clear obstacles to market development, establish mobile media guidelines and best practices for sustainable growth, and evangelise the use of the mobile channel. The more than 700 member companies, representing nearly 50 countries around the globe, include all members of the mobile media ecosystem. The Mobile Marketing Association's global headquarters are located in the United States and it has regional chapters including North America (NA), Europe (EUR), Latin American (LATAM) and Asia Pacific (APAC) branches.

would provide funding to build it and would allow public use of the shelter when they were not

the pavilion match the Depot. Board members discussed the proposed pavilion and concurred that
it would be a nice addition to the property.
