I'm guessing that most anthropologists don't read the Disclaimer and Waiver to which you must consent when you register for conferences through the American Anthropological Association. It is a decidedly legalistic document, full of odd stipulations about liability, privacy, copyright, and responsibility. In principle it is an "agreement" between the user and the association, but as an exchange, it is decidedly one-sided: you the user are asked to give various things away, in return for which you get nothing in particular. And in form, it is identical to the End User License Agreements that, as we know, the vast majority of users accept without reading. It does not really seem to be written to be read; it seems to be written to be invoked in extremis in some moment of unexpected (yet planned-for) crisis.
In any event, it is a curious document. Here it is as of March 2016; I'll highlight a few important passages.
As a condition of my participation in this meeting or event, I hereby waive any claim I may have against the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and its officers, directors, employees, or agents, or against the presenters or speakers, for reliance on any information presented and release AAA from and against any and all liability for damage or injury that may arise from my participation or attendance at the program. I further understand and agree that all property rights in the material presented, including common law copyright, are expressly reserved to the presenter or speaker or to AAA.
I acknowledge that participation in AAA events and activities brings some risk and I do hereby assume responsibility for my own well-being. If another individual participates in my place per AAA transfer policy, the new registrant agrees to this disclaimer and waiver by default of transfer.
AAA intends to take photographs and video of this event for use in AAA news and promotional material, in print, electronic and other media, including the AAA website. By participating in this event, I grant AAA the right to use any image, photograph, voice or likeness, without limitation, in its promotional materials and publicity efforts without compensation. All media become the property of AAA. Media may be displayed, distributed or used by AAA for any purpose.
By registering for this event, I agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of contact and demographic information. This information includes any information that identifies me personally (e.g. name, address, email address, phone number, etc.). AAA will use this information to: (a) enable your event registration; (b) review, evaluate and administer scholarships or other AAA initiatives; (c) market AAA opportunities you may potentially be interested in; and to (d) share limited information (e.g. title, company, address and demographic information) with third parties that perform services on behalf of AAA. AAA does not distribute email address or phone numbers to third parties or partners performing services on behalf of AAA. AAA may use this information for so long as AAA remains active in conducting any of the above purposes.
I met an interesting professor in Aix earlier this spring, Joëlle Zask, who has worked on Dewey and early 20th century culture theory (she suggested the Sapir article I mentioned earlier this spring). Here I want to translate a short interview she did in 2007 with a monthly culture magazine in Marseille called Zibeline. Philosophy, as foreign readers may or may not know, is taught to all French high school (lycée) seniors, has a long political history in French education, and periodically causes controversy. Some of these stakes are apparent here.
1) The 2003 "official instructions" for the philosophy teaching program in senior year say: "Philosophy teaching in senior year… contributes to forming autonomous minds, warned of reality's complexities and capable of putting to work a critical consciousness of the contemporary world." What do you think of this?
These formulations pose two major problems.
First, it strikes me as shocking that a philosophy textbook should begin with a series of "official instructions." An instruction, in the sense of a directive, is entirely contrary to the "autonomous minds" that we are told to "form." Are we told to "force our students to be free"? Moreover, in the context of schools, "instruction" has a second dimension: we still talk about "public, obligatory, civic instruction" [in connection with public education]. But instructing is not educating. Instructing basically means shaping someone's mind to fit the competences that the institution judges socially useful. Educating on the other hand means communicating a potential to a mind which, one day, will allow it to help define what is or isn't valuable for its society. Yet according to the "official" declarations, we're still on the model of instructing, in both senses of the term.
Second, the goal proclaimed for high school philosophy teaching is completely exorbitant. I know that many people subscribe to it. But we should be astonished by the excessive disproportion between the end and the means: they have groups of thirty pupils, a very limited range of practical exercises, lecture courses, etc. And above all, it's impossible for philosophy teachers to "form autonomous and critical minds" if the pupils haven't been invited to be autonomous or critical since the day they arrived in the schoolhouse. Not to mention that the art of thinking isn't reserved for philosophy. Would one be exempted from "thinking for oneself" in history, literature or physics? It must be said that the goal [of our philosophy teaching] is, in our present circumstances, pretty disconnected from these realities; and we might therefore give up on grading students' homework against an ideal that very few people can claim to have attained. We could, at least for starters, propose simpler exercises that would be better adapted to our students' competences (the ones "formed" by our instruction) and to our own. At the university we do all this readily enough.
2) What should be at stake in philosophy teaching? What should be its goals?
Well, I don't want to say that there's nothing special to expect from philosophy teaching. To my eyes, philosophy is in essence a critique of our values and an effort to demonstrate, by one method or another, the legitimacy or pertinence of the values we hold. The philosophers who we've read and reread over the centuries have all undertaken an examination of the values of their times. That said, these philosophers don't play the moral purity card [la carte de bonne conscience]. They direct their critical examination at themselves, working with their own keen perceptions of the possibilities and blockages of their epoch. Today, as in the past, many people, including our official instructors, defend some values without examination and try to impose them on others. Wondering where our values come from, going over them with a fine-toothed comb and sorting them out, creating new ones, scrutinizing the motives for our adherence to them and the mechanisms that inculcate them — that's what a reading of the philosophers can invite us to do. And that's a truly priceless service.
Like Zask, I've been struck by the official rhetoric in France about teaching people to have free and critical minds, which always seems to entail, as Zask points out, the contradictory project of "making" people free, and to presuppose the unlikely premise that educational institutions know what freedom or criticality are. But I'm most interested, here, in the part of the interview that proposes a definition of what's essential about philosophy: a critique of values.

Q: Call c++ function in Widget blueprint I create widget, inherited from C++ class below.
#pragma once

#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "Blueprint/UserWidget.h"
#include "Widget_Manager.generated.h"

UCLASS()
class CRY_API UWidget_Manager : public UUserWidget
{
    GENERATED_BODY()
public:
    UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, Category ="test")
    int32 x;
    UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "test")
    int32 increase_x(int32 i);
};

I want to output the value of x in value1, then increase it, and output it to value2.
My problem is that the blueprints do not see the function increase_x().
Not in elements list, not in function search.

Also i tried property CallInEditor.
How I can call this function in widget?

A: Please make sure that your not using Hot Reload (the Compile C++ button in the Editor).
If you make changes to your C++ code, especially Headers, always close the Editor and recompile it from Visual Studio. Hot Reload cannot resolve changes to Header files, which means things like Functions and new Properties will not be available in Blueprint if your using Hot Reload until you do a recompile from Visual Studio.
Also its best to leave Context Sensitivity on.

20 Songs to Listen to During Mental Health Awareness Month
Ashley Nestler MSW
If you experience suicidal thoughts, the following post could be potentially triggering. You can contact the Crisis Text Line by texting "START" to 741741.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and what better way to celebrate than to recognize musicians and songs that address mental health and illness?
Music has always been a therapeutic tool for me, and I have found that connecting with songs and artists that are open about mental health and illness makes me feel seen and comforted. With that being said, I have created a playlist for you of some of my favorite songs that are by musicians who are open about their mental illnesses, or those close to them who struggle with their mental health. Some of these songs are explicit and can be triggering, so please listen with caution.
The first featured artist on my playlist is Yungblud, also known as Dominic Richard Harrison. Yungblud has frequently been open about his struggle with depression and anxiety, as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and numerous of his songs have been featured in the "13 Reasons Why" series. I have to admit that I only discovered Yungblud recently, but I was immediately intrigued by his explicit songs that address such things as using psychiatric medication and abusing substances, while also providing support for those who are struggling with their mental health. Yungblud's unique voice and lyrics made me feel close to him, and I have been listening to him on repeat lately because of how comforting I have found his music to be.
I am also including a song by Machine Gun Kelly and Yungblud called "I think I'm OKAY" which was the first song that introduced me to Yungblud.
As a side note, Machine Gun Kelly's most recent album "Tickets to My Downfall" and his related YouTube movie "Downfalls High" are excellent and highly emotional. Machine Gun Kelly, also known as Colson Baker, has recently been open about his own mental health struggles and has described this album as his "diary" ("Celebretainment," 2021). This is probably why I like it so much because it is raw and honest in the most conceivable way.
1. "I think I'm OKAY" by Machine Gun Kelly and Yungblud (explicit)
TRIGGER WARNING: substance abuse, depression, paranoia
This song is very important to me because I relate to the themes of substance abuse, depression, and paranoia so well. It is brutally honest, and I truly admire Machine Gun Kelly and Yungblud for being so vulnerable.
2. "Medication" by Yungblud
TW: anxiety, substance abuse
This song is incredibly insightful into Yungblud's struggle with anxiety and his search for relief through medication, substances and technology. The music video depicts what Yungblud experiences in his mind, and I found it to be very relatable.
3. "God Save Me, But Don't Drown Me Out" by Yungblud (explicit)
TW: depression, substance abuse
While this song, and its music video, depict what depression feels like to Yungblud, it is also an anthem of hope for anyone struggling with their mental health. I feel like this song is a healing hug and I can't get enough of it. I hope it brings you as much comfort as it has me.
4. "Kill Somebody" by Yungblud
TW: depression, anxiety, suicidal themes
This song is particularly triggering, but equally important. In the lyrics and the music video Yungblud depicted his darkest moments with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. While the song may seem scary and homicidal, it is actually a raw look inside of Yungblud's struggle with his mental health and suicidal thoughts— and how the truth behind mental illness is not often pleasant and can be scary for those struggling.
5. "Weird!" by Yungblud (explicit)
TW: anxiety
While this song addresses anxiety, it also discusses general mental health concerns and serves as a comforting reassurance that everything is going to be alright. I hold this song close to my heart because of how comforting and sensitive it is.
6. "Dancing with the Devil" by Demi Lovato
TW: addiction
Demi Lovato is another artist I highlighted, due to her authentic struggle with bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and substance abuse. I admire how Demi has become an activist for mental health and frequently addresses her struggle in her music.
Demi reveals a beautiful, honest portrait of what it is like to struggle with addiction and maintain recovery in this gorgeous song. Her storytelling skills are excellent, and I found that this song really resonated with me.
7. "Anyone" by Demi Lovato
TW: addiction, depression
Demi has revealed that she wrote this song a few days before her overdose in 2018, which makes it even more vital. It is a cry for help from debilitating mental illness symptoms and incredibly relatable for anyone struggling with their mental health.
8. "Sober" by Demi Lovato
Like the two songs I highlighted by Demi Lovato above, this song addresses her struggle with addiction and sobriety. However, it is also an apology to those she loves, which I found to be heartbreaking but so important.
9. "Total Revenge" by Say Anything
TW: therapy, heartbreak, bipolar disorder
The last primary artist I featured is Max Bemis of the band Say Anything.
Max has been open about his struggle with substance abuse and bipolar disorder, and the songs I included are deeply emotional and address mental health in unique ways.
I found this song to be relatable to me as someone with borderline personality disorder. I struggle with feeling suicidal after a relationship ends, and this song pretty much sums up what I experience when I am in a relationship, longing for a relationship or losing a relationship. However, it also explores Max Bemis's struggle with bipolar disorder and his mental instability when it comes to relationships.
10. "Cemetery" by Say Anything
TW: suicide
While this song addresses Max Bemis's struggle with suicidal ideation, it also is a song about someone who has given him hope. I find this song to be a beacon of optimism that there is so much worth living for in this life, and connection is so important for mental health.
Other notable artists and bands featured are Paramore, Rise Against, Good Charlotte, Florence + The Machine, and Tickle Me Pink. The songs I highlighted address such sensitive topics as substance and abuse and overdose as well as living with depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.
11. "Madeline" by Tickle Me Pink
TW: overdose, suicide, depression
Out of all of the songs I've featured in this playlist, this song is by far the most difficult to listen to. The song is about a girl named Madeline who committed suicide, and the singer's regret about not being there for her when he knew she was depressed. It is incredibly heartbreaking, but a beautiful portrait of the aftereffects of suicide.
12. "Otherside" by Red Hot Chili Peppers
TW: overdose, addiction
In 1988, Hillel Slovak– the founder and guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers– died of a drug overdose. This song addresses drug addiction and the afterlife in a haunting, yet beautiful, way.
13. "Hold On" by Good Charlotte
TW: depression, suicidal ideation
This song is a song of hope for anyone struggling with their mental health and contemplating suicide. I found this song to be very empathetic and comforting.
14. "Make It Stop" by Rise Against
TW: suicide, homophobia
As another sensitive song, Rise Against addressed the suicide epidemic amongst youth in the LGBTQIA+ community. It is heart wrenching, but its message about homophobia is so important.
15. "Fake Happy" by Paramore
TW: depression, anxiety, general mental health concerns
"Fake Happy" is generally about how we have to pretend like we are okay when we are struggling with our mental health, because that is what the world expects of us. However, it also acknowledges how exhausting this becomes.
16. "Hunger" by Florence + The Machine
TW: eating disorders, substance abuse
This poetic song addresses searching for love in several ways, such as struggling with an eating disorder, while also abusing substances. It addresses how sometimes we feel an emptiness inside that we try to fill in diverse ways, but how that can often become harmful.
The last artists I included in my playlist are fairly newcomers Jxdn, Nessa Barrett and Lil Huddy. These three artists rose to fame through TikTok but have gone on to work with stars such as Travis Barker and Machine Gun Kelly. All three of these young artists have been open about their struggles with mental health, and I have frequently been appreciative of their vulnerability– especially at such young ages.
17. "Better Off" Dead by Jxdn
TW: depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation
This song addresses heartbreak as well as struggling with depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. It is raw and real in really sensitive ways. Please listen with caution.
18. "La Di Die" by Nessa Barrett and Jxdn
TW: substance abuse, depression, general mental health struggles
Nessa Barrett has been open about her struggles with mental health for quite some time, and I found that this song is very revealing into how she is dealing with newfound fame while managing her mental illnesses. Jxdn's portion of the song also addresses his depression, which compliments Nessa's haunting lyrics well.
19. "Pray" by Jxdn
TW: substance abuse, suicidal ideation
While this song is particularly startling as it addresses suicidal ideation openly, it also addresses substance abuse and trying to find hope and meaning in life while living with mental illness. I love how the song comes full circle with Jxdn asking god to not let him die in his sleep, which reveals a moment of faith and perseverance amidst his struggle.
20. "America's Sweetheart" by LilHuddy (explicit)
TW: depression, heartbreak
On the surface, this song is about heartbreak, but when analyzed deeper it is open and honest about struggling with depression and loneliness. LilHuddy, also known as Chase Hudson, has addressed his history with suicidal ideation and that is also a theme I found to be present in this song.
I hope that my playlist resonates with you and that you feel connected, heard and understood. Music is such a powerful way to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month, and I am so thankful to these artists for being vulnerable about their own mental health struggles, or the mental health struggles of those close to them. The more awareness we have, the more we can support each other and improve the care available. Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! I see you.

Ron Costa makes his debut on Dubfire's SCI+TEC with this huge E.P.
We have featured many of Rons tracks here at NOYZ and have written about how highly we regard his production. It seems the majority of the techno community agree with us and he is starting to receive the support and recognition that he deserves.
We are really pleased to see him release on SCI+TEC. His raw and atmospheric grooves suit the label perfectly. We are in awe of the low end thump that he manages to create in every track and he definitely has a signature swing that is present throughout all of his tracks.
Both tracks on the E.P are absolute bombs so it seems rude to post only one. After all more techno is good right? Especially when its Ron Costa techno!

Home equity loan negotiation tactics will affect both the size and expense of your new loan. The size of the loan depends mostly on the equity you place as collateral and your income. Your rates and terms will depend on your credit score. You can use these factors in order to negotiate the largest possible loan, at the smallest possible price to you.
Home equity loans are given through a definitive "loan to value" ratio on your current equity. This means the limit will be directly set based on the portion of your home eligible to be placed as collateral. However, there a few things you can do to increase the loan to value ratio.
Show additional assets you own. Your lender uses your assets to determine how likely they would be to recover funds if you declared bankruptcy. If you can show a large asset base outside the home itself, the lender will receive greater assurance against a loss.
Report a higher income. You cannot misreport your income, but you can use the combined income of yourself and your partner or spouse to gain a higher limit. Since the lender is actually most concerned with your debt to income ratio and not just your debt alone, reporting a higher income for a joint loan can increase the limits.
Pay down your debt so that your debt-to-income ratio is lowered. If you pay off your debt, you allow more room for other expenses and a higher loan limit.
The most important part of negotiation will take place with the terms of the loan. Reducing the cost of your loan is possible if you can provide a strong assurance to your lender you will not default.
Show additional owned assets. Just as this helps raise your limits, it can help decrease your credit score. Borrowers with a large asset base are less risky.
Accept higher monthly payments with a shorter loan term. For example, take on a 15 year loan, instead of a 30 year loan. If you can afford to pay a large amount each month on the loan, you will be doing two things: reducing the length of the loan and giving the lender confidence in you. Your interest rate will drop as a result because rates for 15 year loans are lower than rates for 30 year loans.
Improve your credit score before seeking the loan. A higher credit score will lead to a lower interest rate. If you can pay down debt, assure you make all payments and otherwise improve your credit leading up to the time you apply, you will get a better deal.
Work with a lender known to you. Your mortgage lender or bank may offer you the best loans if you have an established relationship. You can also ask them to waive your annual maintenance fees if you have an established relationship with them.

'Transformers 5' Movie Release Date and Cast News: Hasbro Confirms 2017 Release, Michael Bay Still to Say Yes
By Komfie Manalo ( [email protected] ) May 19, 2015 01:47 AM EDT Comment
The fifth installment of one of most successful movie franchises in terms of earnings, Transformers 5, will be released in 2017. This was confirmed by no less than Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner in his 2015 Q1 Earnings Conference Call.
Goldner said, "Our plan with the studio and filmakers you may have heard some writers being hired and we have in fact brought in Akiva Goldsman to lead a group of writers to really create a strategic plan around Transformers. We think there are any number of stories to be told from the brand that has been around for 30 years with amazing canon and mythology. We would expect the sequel to the Transformers movie [TF4] to happen in 2017."
But while shooting has not yet started, Paramount Pictures is still waiting for the elusive "yes" of renowned director Michael Bay to return to the director's chair for the Transformer 5, according to Day Herald. Bay reportedly submitted his release papers to Paramount after the Transformers: Age of Extinction.
His protege, Jonathan Liebesman, who directed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was initially rumored to be the likely replacement of Bay to direct the fifth installment of the Transformers movie franchise.
However, reports have emerged that Paramount Pictures is not ready to let go of Bay, after all he was responsible for making Transformers into one of the highest-grossing franchises in Hollywood history. Transformers 4, and to some extent Bay, drew heavy flak from critics, and described the movie as the worst despite being a huge blockbuster.
Transformers 4 earned more than $1 billion across the globe and was the highest-grossing movie in China. All the four Transformers movies directed by Bay made more than $3.8 billion worldwide.
To entice Bay, Paramount has created a writer's pool to include the director to help out in creating new ideas for the Transformers franchise and its possible spinoff.
According to Inquisitr.com, the new Transformers 5 movie will features a new cast of robots, including Ultra Magnus, Blitzwing, Scourge, Cyclonus, Override, and Red Alert. In the animation series, Optimus Prime appointed Ultra Magnus to take command on Earth after he went to space to confront the Decepticons that were drifting through space where he met the ultimate evil, Unicron.
The reports said that the introduction of of Cyclonus and Scourge could indicate that Unicron has sent some new Decepticons that he recycled using parts from other dead robots, and to prepare for his plan to consume Earth.
The appearance of the Dinobots in the Transformers: Age of Extinction could also indicate that the producers of the franchise are planning a Beast Wars spinoff.

Colombia works closely with the US, through Bernard Aronson, a very intrusive neo-conservative 'overseer', who is Washington's coordinator in the Colombian counter-insurgency war. The US maintains seven military bases and has stationed over one thousand US 'advisers' in the field and within the Colombian Defense Ministry. The military offensive was launched by the Santos regime precisely when it was officially engaged in two and a half year-long 'peace negotiations', during which three of five items on the 'peace agenda' had been agreed to and the FARC had ordered a unilateral cease fire.
President Santos and Aronson have used the cover of "peace negotiations" as a propaganda ploy to launch a full scale military offensive. Concessions and agreements served to lower the FARC's guard, identify its officials and secure intelligence on FARC base camps. US adviser Aronson's role is to ensure that the Colombian government destroys the popular armed resistance, and forces the FARC to accept a 'peace accord' that does not change the status of US bases, lucrative contracts with international mining companies and promotes 'free trade'. The Santos regime announced that the 'peace negotiations' would continue in Havana . . . even as it intensifies the war in Colombia, killing FARC members and supporters. Aronson and Santos pursue a 'peace of the cemetery'.
The Colombia and Washington regimes are conducting a two-pronged 'peace negotiations and brutal war policy' against the FARC as part of a general world-wide politico-military campaign against mass popular movements that oppose neo-liberal economic policies, US-initiated wars and military bases and onerous 'free trade' agreements.
In each region the US has developed a very 'special relation' with key governments that serve as 'strategic allies'. These include Israel in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia in the Persian Gulf and southwest Asia, Japan in the Far East and Colombia in Latin America.
For the past two decades Colombia has served as the key US operational base for US naval and air surveillance in the Caribbean, Central America and the Andean countries and the launching pad for destabilization campaigns and intervention against the governments of Venezuela, Ecuador and Honduras. Washington's use of 'peace negotiations' as a prelude to a military offensive in Colombia is the prototype of US strategic policy in several other contentious regions of the world.
In the essay, we will identify the countries where the US is engaged in 'peace negotiations' as a prelude to military aggression and political subversion and we will describe in detail the strategy and implementation of this policy in the most 'advanced case' of Colombia. We will focus on how erstwhile leftist governments, eager to improve relations with the US, contribute to furthering Washington's strategic goals of subversion and 'regime change'.
Throughout the world, Washington is engaged in some sort of direct or indirect 'peace negotiations' even as it expands and intensifies its military operations.
The mass media and official Washington spokespersons would have us believe that the US and Iran are within reach of a 'peace accord', contingent on Teheran surrendering its nuclear capability (repeatedly proven to be non-military in nature) and the US lifting its 'economic sanctions'. The media's 'narrow focus approach' to the Persian Gulf conveniently ignores contradictory regional developments.
First, the US has embarked on devastating wars against key Iranian regional allies: The US funds and supplies arms to terrorists who have invaded and bombed Syria and Yemen. Washington is expanding military bases surrounding Iran while increasing its naval presence in the Persian Gulf. President Obama has expanded military agreements with the Gulf monarchies. Congress is increasing the flow of offensive arms to Israel as it openly threatens to attack Iran. In reality, while engaged in 'peace negotiations' with Teheran, Washington is waging war with Iran's allies and threatens its security.
Equally important, the US has vetoed numerous attempts to finally rid the Middle East of nuclear arms. This veto safeguards the far-right, militarist Israeli regime's enormous offensive nuclear stockpile, while outlawing any possibility of an Iranian deterrent.
The so-called 'peace negotiations' allows the US to engage in pervasive and frequent espionage of Iranian military installations (so-called 'inspections' by the US controlled International Atomic Energy Commission (IAEA) with no reciprocal inspection of US or Israeli military bases or that of any of its Gulf client states. Furthermore, and crucial to a sudden military assault, Washington assumes in its ongoing 'peace negotiations', the unilateral 'right' to suspend the talks at a moment's notice under any pretext and launch a military attack.
In sum, the US 'negotiates peace' with Iran in Lausanne, Switzerland, while it supplies Saudi Arabia with bombs and intelligence in its war against Yemen and finances armed Jihadi terrorists seizing half of Syria and large contiguous parts of Iraq.
How will the US conclude a 'peace settlement' with Iran while it engages in wars against Iran's neighbors and allies and when Iranian negotiations are framed in military terms?
Are the 'peace negotiations' merely a ploy designed to destroy Iran's regional allies, isolate and weaken its military defenses and set it up for attack 'down the road'? How does this fit into Obama's global strategy?
The White House has proposed the Trans Pacific Trade Agreement, which specifically excludes China. It has signed off on nuclear weapons agreements with India, hoping to secure an Indo-American military pact on China's southwestern flank.
Obama's so-called 'pivot to Asia' is best understood as a rapid escalation of military threats and exclusionary trade pacts designed to provoke, isolate, weaken and degrade China and push back its rise to economic supremacy in Asia.
So far the US strategy has failed. Washington's diplomatic gestures have lacked the necessary economic substance and incentives to its 'allies'; its much-ballyhooed trade agreements have floundered in the face of far superior and inclusive Chinese initiatives, including its new $100 billion-dollar Infrastructure Investment Bank and its more than $40 billion dollar economic agreements with the government of India.
In the face of its economic failures the Pentagon has opted for flagrant military encroachments on Chinese airspace. Specifically, US warplanes are directed to overfly China's ongoing construction of military installations on atolls in the South China Sea. The Chinese Foreign Office and Defense Ministry have vigorously protested these violations of its sovereignty. The Obama regime has brashly rejected China's diplomatic protests and affirmed Washington's 'right' to encroach on Chinese territorial waters.
After a quarter of a century of failing to dominate China via economic penetration by US multi-nationals and through the liberalization of its financial system, Washington has discarded its 'softer' diplomatic approach and adopted a 'proto-war' stand. This policy uses economic boycotts, military encirclement and encroachment on Chinese maritime, aerial and land sovereignty in the hope of provoking a military response and then evoking a second 'Pearl Harbor' as a pretext for a full scale war engulfing its Asian allies (and Australia) in a major war in the Asia-Pacific region.
China's market successes have replaced the US as the dominant economic power in Asia, Latin America and Africa. In the face of this 'usurpation' the US has dropped the velvet glove of diplomacy in favor of the iron fist of military provocation and escalation. The US military budget is five times greater than China's, whereas China's investments and financing of economic projects throughout Asia, Latin America and the BRIC countries are ten times greater than those of the US.
China's 'economic pivot' will clearly enhance Beijing's global position over the medium and long-run, if the US's reckless and short-term military superiority and territorial aggression does not lead to a devastating world war!
In the meantime, China is developing its military capacity to confront the 'US pivot to war'. China's leaders have devised a new defensive strategy, boosting its naval capacity and shifting from strictly territorial defense to both defense and offense on land, air and sea. Off shore defense is combined with open sea protection to enhance China's capability for a strategic deterrent and counter-attack. China's annual military spending had increased on average ten percent per annum in anticipation of the Pentagon shifting 60% of its fleet to the Pacific over the next five years.
On the surface, the apparent shift from military confrontation and economic sanctions to diplomatic negotiations would register as a move toward peaceful co-existence between opposing social systems. However, a closer reading of Washington's tactical concessions and strategic goals argues for a mere 'change of methods' for reversing advances of the socialist revolution rather than a diplomatic accommodation.
Under the cover of a diplomatic agreement, the US will directly or indirectly channel millions of dollars into Cuba's private sector, strengthening its weight in the economy, and forming partnerships with Cuban public and private sector counter-parts. The US Embassy's economic policy will be directed toward expanding the business sectors open to US capital. In other words, Washington will pursue a strategy of incremental privatization to create economic and political allies.
Secondly, the US embassy will greatly expand its role as financial backer, recruiter and protector of counter-revolutionary, self-styled Cuban 'dissidents' in its 'civil society.
Thirdly, the vast influx of US-controlled telecommunications, cultural programs and exchanges, and commercial sales will have the effect of de-radicalizing the Cuban public (from socialism and egalitarianism to gross consumerism) and reducing Cuba's fraternal ties to Latin America. Anti-imperialist solidarity with popular Latin American movements and governments will diminish as the Cubans adopt the 'Miami mentality'.
Fourthly, Cuba's economic and political ties with Venezuela will remain but the US efforts to subvert or 'moderate' the Bolivarian government may face less opposition from Havana.
Fifth, Washington will foster cheap mass tourism in order to promote a one-sided dependent economy, which over time will replace socialist consciousness with a 'comprador consciousness' - a decadent mentality, which encourages the emergence of a class of intermediaries or 'brokers' engaged in economic exchanges between the 'sender'(the US) and 'receiver'(Cuba) country. Cuban 'intermediaries' between the imperial US and dependent Cuba could become strategic political actors in Havana.
In other words, the concessions Washington have secured via diplomatic politics will form the 'Trojan Horse' to facilitate a 'subversion from within approach' designed to subvert the social economy and to secure Cuban co-operation in de-radicalizing Latin America.
Fidel Castro has rightly expressed his distrust of the new US approach. Castro's pointed criticisms of Washington's highly militarized interventions in the Middle East, the Ukraine and the South China Sea is designed to influence Cuban policymakers, who are overzealous in conceding political concessions to the US.
Negotiations between Libyan President Gadhafi and Washington led to a dismantling of the country's advanced military defense programs. Once essentially defenseless from NATO attack, the US and its European and Gulf allies embarked on a full-scale bombing campaign for 'regime change' in support of tribal and sectarian warlords destroying the country's infrastructure, ending the life of its leader and tens of thousands of Libyans and driving hundreds of thousands of immigrant workers from sub-Sahara Africa into exile as refugees.
Negotiations between the democratically-elected leader of the Ukraine and the US-NATO based opposition led to political concessions that were quickly exploited by US funded foreign NGOs and domestic neo-Nazis. Street mobs took over government buildings in Kiev leading to a putsch and 'regime change', as well as detonating a brutal ethnic war against eastern Russian speaking Ukrainians, opposed to NATO and favoring continued traditional ties with Russia. Despite 'negotiations' between the NATO-backed regime and Donbass federalists leading to a European-brokered cease fire, the government in Kiev continues to bomb the self-governing regions.
The US, EU, Saudi Arabia and Turkey (the "Quartet") back armed Islamist mercenaries and jihadist terrorists seeking to overthrow the Bashar Assad government in Damascus and rebel Houthi government coalition in Yemen. Under the guise of seeking a 'negotiated political solution', the 'Quartet' has consistently pursued a military solution.
Negotiations and diplomacy have become chosen tactical ploys in Washington's repertory for pursing war.
Diplomatic overtures to China are accompanied by a 'military pivot', aggressive military encirclement, and provocative acts such as the recent arrest of visiting Chinese scholars and repeated violations of Chinese airspace.
The diplomatic overtures to Cuba are accompanied by demands for greater "access" to proselytize and subvert Cuban officials,and its people .
US negotiators demand the unilateral demilitarization and pervasive oversight of Iran's strategic military defenses even as the US expands its proxy wars against Teheran's allies in Yemen, Syria and Iraq. Meanwhile Washington rejects the comprehensive ending of economic sanctions against the Iranians.
Negotiations, under the Obama regime, are simply tactics to intensify and expand the strategy of war. The "peace negotiations" between the US-backed Santos regime and the FARC follows the global script outlined above.
Through phony 'partial agreements', which are never seriously intended to be implemented, the US-backed Colombian military and their paramilitary allies continue to ravage the countryside. Displaced peasants and farmers attempting to return and reclaim farmland continue to be assassinated. Human rights lawyers and workers are still murdered.
The Santos regime escalates its military offensive against the FARC, taking full advantage of the "unilateral ceasefire" declared by FARC leaders in Havana.
Very little of what is agreed in Havana will be implemented. FARC leaders will be confined to playing the electoral game, providing that they are not assassinated by 'sicarios on motorcycles'. Guerrilla militants without land, employment or security may join the drug traffickers - in a re-play of the so-called "Peace Accords" in El Salvador.
Under these circumstances why does the FARC's current leadership proceed toward a suicidal agreement and its own extinction? In past conversations with leading Cuban foreign policy officials, including former Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque, I was told that the Cuban government was deeply hostile to FARC and was eager to end hostilities in order to improve Cuban relations with the US. Likewise members of the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry told me that they co-operated with the Colombian government in arresting and deporting FARC officials and sympathizers in order "to secure their borders from Colombian military and paramilitary incursions".
In other words, there are valid grounds for viewing the FARC negotiators as operating under intense pressure from its supposed allies to continue 'talks' and reach a 'peace agreement', even if the results will be neither peace or justice!
The US strategy of "war through peace negotiations" is an ongoing process. So far the US military build-up against China has failed to intimidate China. Beijing has responded by launching its own strategic military response and by financing a huge number of Asian economic projects which, in the long-run, will isolate the US and undermine its offensive capacity.
The 'war through negotiation' strategy succeeded in destroying a nationalist adversary in Libya, while also devastating a profitable oil and gas producer, creating a 'failed state' on the Mediterranean and unleashing jihadist groups throughout North Africa. The NATO-Obama campaign for 'regime change' in Libya led to the mass exodus of millions of sub-Saharan workers formerly employed in Libya with untold thousands drowning in the Mediterranean in their desperate flight.
The US 'war and negotiations policy' toward Iran remains inconclusive: Washington has encircled Iran with proxy wars against Yemen and Syria but Iran continues to gain influence in Iraq. The US has spent $40 billion on arms and training on an Iraqi army whose soldiers refuse to fight and die for US interests, allowing the neo-Baathist- 'ISIS' coalition of Sunni insurgents to seize one-third of the country. The more serious and motivated militia defending Baghdad is composed of the Shia volunteers, influenced by Teheran. The horrific break-up of what was once sovereign secular republic continues.
Washington's dual strategy of negotiating with the Rohani regime while encircling the country is intended to degrade Teheran's defense capability while minimizing any relief from the economic sanctions. Whether this one-sided process will lead to a 'final agreement' remains to be seen. In the final analysis, the US relations with Iran are subject to the power and influence of the Zionist power configuration in the US, acting on behalf of Israel, over and against the European Union's interest to develop trade with the 80 million strong Iranian market.
The US "subversion via negotiations" approach to Cuba has moved forward slowly. The Cuban security apparatus, military, and, especially, important contingents of Fidelista officials, militants and intellectuals serve as an important counter-weight to the zealous liberal "modernizers" who envision "market solutions". Washington does not expect a rapid transition to capitalism. It is banking on a 'war of positions', securing joint ventures with state officials; a massive infusion of consumerist propaganda to counter socialist values; funding private capitalists as potential strategic political allies; encouraging Cuban foreign policy officials to cut off support for leftist movements and governments. Cuba's leaders, at all costs, must not return to an economically dependent relation with the US - which is the strategic goal of the US. Washington is seeking through diplomacy to secure what 50 years of warfare failed to achieve: a regime change and a reversal of the gains of the Cuban Revolution.
The US strategy of war through negotiations has mixed results. Where it confronts a burgeoning world power, such as China, it has failed. With a weak, disarmed state like Libya, it succeeded beyond its wildest dreams (or nightmares). With "middle level powers" like Cuba and Iran, it has secured political concessions but has not yet eroded the security and defense capabilities of the governments. In the case of Colombia, Washington is deeply embedded in the regime and has openly embraced a naked military solution.
The FARC's 'inner leadership' cannot continue with the unilateral 'cease fire' unless it wishes for suicide; the 'outside leadership' appears committed to negotiations even as the war escalates. The results are uncertain, but what is obvious is that the Aronson - Santos regime have no tolerance for a 'peace with social justice'. Their goal for the long struggling Colombian people is the 'peace of the cemetery', as the historic FARC leader Manual Marulanda declared in the aftermath of the broken peace negotiations of 1999-2002.

People are always asking Green Bay blues musician Jimmy Crimmins when he'll be playing around town.
He frequently finds himself answering with two questions: Where is there to play? Who is there to play with?
The local blues scene doesn't have a dedicated venue like it once did when Heroes Club was home to both local and regional blues acts. Crimmins hasn't had a regular band since CakeFace.
But he'll be the first to tell you he still believes the blues is alive and well in Green Bay, so he's hooked up with The Velveetatones, a group of about 65 blues journeymen his longtime friend Tony Menzer founded in Madison in 2002 to support touring blues artists who come through the Midwest and are in need of experienced players who know how to improvise and can hit the ground running.
It's one-stop shopping for artists, who are able to handpick players to fit their needs. Chris Aaron, Billy Flynn, Bryan Lee and W.C. Clark all dipped into The Velveetatones talent pool.
Crimmins did a word-of-mouth gig in May at The Blue Opus in Bellevue with Menzer on bass, Fred Senn on guitar (who dates back to Rockin' Jimmy & The Blues Weasels of the Heroes Club days in the '90s), John Stelzer on drums (a founding member of The Groove Hogs) and Dennis Vandenberg on keyboards (of CakeFace).
It was so much fun that Jimmy Crimmins & The Velveetatones are doing it again from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Opus.
The Velveetatones play some 150 shows a year. Crimmins hopes to join them for occasional gigs as the venues best fit.
He's anticipating another full house on Wednesday at the Opus, 1390 Bellvue St., which runs live music from diverse genres on a nearly nightly basis. Crimmins think it's the fastest-growing club in town.
» Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals will play Green Bay Distillery Sept. 25 for a stop on the Choosing Mental Illness Tour. Anselmo, the heavy metal singer of Pantera, Down and Superjoint fame, released his sophomore album with The Illegals, "Choosing Mental Illness as a Virtue," in January.
National opener King Parrot will be joined by Profane and Lead for the Distillery show. Advance tickets are on sale for $26.25 at eventbrite.com.
» Add FireHouse to the bill July 7 in Greenville for the Catfish Concert, which lost headliner Huey Lewis when he canceled all shows this year due to hearing issues. FireHouse joins Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas as additions to a lineup that includes the originally scheduled Bret Michaels and Night Ranger. The Glam Band will play the after-party.
» When Eddie Biebel and Vickie Basar aren't playing as part of the four-piece bluegrass band The Green Bay Pickers, as they will from 8-11 p.m. Saturday at The Blue Opus, they perform as a duo.
They'll be featured guests for the Green Bay City Band's "Wild West" concert from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at St. James Park.
During his free 75-minute set Saturday at Metro Jam in Manitowoc, John Waite managed to squeeze in all The Babys, Bad English and solo hits you could want, including "Everytime I Think of You," "When I See You Smile," "Change," "Back on My Feet Again" and "Missing You"; a stripped-down, slowed-down cover of Vince Gill's "Whenever You Come Around"; "If You Ever Get Lonely," a song he co-wrote with Matchbox Twenty guitarist Kyle Cook, who happened to be playing with him; and a smokin' cover of Led Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love" for the encore.
Not a bad way to celebrate 40 years of Metro Jam.

We self-reliant types spend a significant portion of our lives prepping for a long-term disaster. We grow our own groceries, cultivate backyard apothecaries, hone our shooting skills, preserve the garden harvest, hunt, fish, and harden our bug in or bug out locations. But how many of us have really thought about what daily life would be like during a long-term disaster?
Sure, we all know grocery store shelves will be empty within hours (not days, like FEMA claims), calling 911 for help won't be an option, and the unprepared will panic, leading to the development of marauding hordes.
All of that will happen within hours to a few days after the end of the world as we know it – TEOTWAKI. Have you thought long and hard about what life will be like in the weeks, months, and possibly years that unfold after the incident that sparks the long-term disaster?
It doesn't really matter what type of SHTF event you are prepping for at the moment. The impact on our daily lives during any long-term disaster will be incredibly similar. Any TEOTWAWKI-level event will cause a societal breakdown of epic proportions.
A Nuclear War or an EMP will grind life as we know it to a halt more quickly than any other scenario, and eventually, a return to an 1800s-like existence will come about.
Tending to livestock, protecting them from marauders around the clock, slaughtering and butchering the animals, and putting up the meat.
Being part of a 24/7 perimeter defense team to protect the prepper retreat.
If you leave the home or have to use transportation around the property, it will most likely be either on foot or horseback.
Cooking will be done on top of a wood stove, in a fireplace, or outdoors over an open flame – without modern appliances to aid you.
Long hours with lots of hard work will be in your future when it is time to harvest the crops and preserve them so you don't starve over the winter.
Clothing will be sewn and mended to preserve it as long as possible and to make garments for growing children and babies born during the disaster.
Teaching the children will be your responsibility. From a young age, the children will have to balance their time between educational and vocational activities so they can learn the self-reliance skills they will need to work the land and stay alive after you are gone.
Hunting, fishing, and trapping will no longer be a seasonal activity but a daily or weekly necessity – and not a safe one at that. Going into the woods, even if you own them, could easily place you in harm's way. Finding game will be only half the battle, you must get the meat back home without someone stealing it from you.
You will be getting up at dawn, much like our pioneer ancestors were. The workday and family activity (except perimeter patrols) will end at dusk because you must conserve flashlight batteries and lamp oil for only essential uses. Do not expect to garner power by flipping on a light switch.
If you think this daily schedule is too extreme and full of stereotypical doom and gloom, please read on to find out why you must adapt both physically and mentally, to prepare for exactly this type of post-apocalyptic future.
If the end of the world as we know it scenario involves an EMP, any vehicle newer than 1950 to maybe 1970, will cease to run. As will any sensitive electronic equipment you own, hospitals own, or first responders use – unless they were stored in a Faraday Cage durable enough to withstand the electromagnetic pulse.
The powerful and dedicated men and women of the United States Military would not be able to do their duty if their ships, planes, and other military vehicles could not move, and their radios did not work.
Whatever amount of gasoline, kerosene, propane, and diesel fuel you had stockpiled would be the last you would be able to pump.
An EMP attack would also realistically take down the 7,000 or so airplanes flying in the sky above America at any given moment. All planes that crashed over land would spark massive flames that firefighters would not be able to put out because their fire trucks wouldn't be working.
If you think the United States government or the power companies that jointly control the grid have stockpiled extra transformers and stored them in a Faraday Cage, you thought wrong. By and large, we do not even make the components necessary to repair such a power grid problem in our own country anymore.
If the long-term disaster only impacted the United States, perhaps a shipment of the needed parts could make it here from overseas in a few months. A TEOTWAWKI global disaster of this type means we would likely be living without electricity for years… or forever.
Even if the end of the world as we know it scenario did not involve an EMP or nuclear war, the power grid would eventually cease to function. A pandemic, economic collapse, or other long-term disaster you are concerned about, would not make it unsafe or worthwhile for power plant employees (those that survived) to go to work.
Solar panels and generators are an excellent SHTF alternative power source. But the panels and the generator must also be protected from an EMP, nuclear fallout, and natural disasters in order to remain functional during a long-term disaster.
During a long-term disaster, you must have an off-grid way to heat your home. The two-year-old furnace in our home was turned on just once, to test it. We heat using wood stoves. Putting up wood is a year-round chore to make sure there is always enough in the shed to get us through even a rough long winter.
Once the power grid goes down during TEOTWAWKI, the gasoline needed to fuel chainsaws will be in decidedly short supply. We have the manual tools and livestock needed to go into our woods to cut and haul wood even after the SHTF, but not everyone is so lucky.
If you don't have acres of woods and enough preppers in your tribe to get wood cutting safely done without pulling bodies off property perimeter detail, the family could be placed in grave danger.
Winter will be an incredibly dangerous time during a long-term disaster. Hungry and cold survivors will be willing to do just about anything to fill their bellies and prevent hypothermia.
I have no desire to have air conditioning, but preppers who live in the South might feel differently about the loss of this luxury item. Preppers with elderly, infant, or sick loved ones will need to find a way to keep cool during summer to prevent heat stroke. Daily life will involve copious amounts of manual labor, increasing the potential for outdoor workers to suffer heat stroke or heart attack, as well.
Water will not flow from your faucet without employees going to their jobs or power to make pumps work. About seven years ago, we had a regional natural disaster in my part of Appalachia that left portions of three states without power for over a week.
The water plant in our county had only enough in the lagoons to serve basic needs for three days without processing and pumping more. Once law enforcement officers drove around using loudspeakers urging everyone to conserve water, the panicked folks did the exact opposite and the lines ran dry in about 24 hours.
FEMA arrived with enough bottled water to serve a quarter of the population four days into the disaster. The water was warm and an equally small portion of ice rapidly melted on pallets in the 102-degree heat we were experiencing that July.
Without power, flushing commodes and the weekly pickup of trash also won't continue. When raw sewage and trash begins to flow into the streets, a second coming of the plague might not be far behind. Dumping raw sewage in the yard could cause it to infiltrate your growing areas and natural waterways – again causing sickness.
Folks who use wells instead of being connected to a municipal water line will have to use a manual dipper to get water or have devised an alternative power source to make a well pump run.
In addition to water storage, be sure sure you are also able to purify water.
Sickness will spread rapidly during a long-term disaster. Even something as simple as a scratch on a piece of rusty fencing or the common cold could become lethal. You must grow your own home remedies and learn as much advanced first aid as possible to enhance your family's chances of survival.
Seemingly moderate injuries, like a broken ankle that is not reset properly or requires surgery to repair, can maim a survivor or life. Contact without people outside of your immediate family or prepping group could expose you to deadly diseases that were once treatable or vaccinated against like diphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping cough, tuberculosis, cholera, malaria, mumps, measles, and even polio.
It is not only human disease running rampant during a long-term disaster that you should be worrying about and prepping to prevent, but illnesses that can cause your crops to fail and make livestock unfit to eat as well.
Running out to the store or an auction to get more seeds, plants, or livestock will not be an option during an end of life as we know it event. Smart preppers will have stored plenty of extra seeds for both future year use and barter – but those seeds will not grow quickly enough to prevent the starvation of your family if disease or weather wipes out our garden or barn.
If you are not growing natural remedy ingredients to keep your livestock healthy and learning how to use them, get started right now. You will not only have to be your family's chief medical officer during a long-term disaster, but a vet as well. The survival of your family is dependent upon the health of your animals.
Depending upon the type of TEOTWAWKI disaster that strikes our great country (or the world), up to 80 percent of the population could be dead within hours to weeks. Survivors must possess the skills, stockpiled goods, and physical ability to accomplish the tasks that are vital to keeping the prepper retreat going each and every single day.
Thanks for reading! Next week I'll talk about the best prepper jobs to rebuild society after the SHTF.
"…[A]ny vehicle newer than 1950 to maybe 1970, will cease to run." I have read a blue billion articles on EMP effects. I believe that you are dead wrong. The argument has always been over whether vehicles manufactured after 1975, the year the change to electronic ignitions took place, will work after an EMP. With the passage of time, more and more microprocessors were added to vehicles, with 90 to 120 microprocessors now being used in current vehicles, and many say that this dependence on microprocessors also increases the vehicles' vulnerabilities.
"Solar panels and generators are an excellent SHTF alternative power source. But the panels and the generator must also be protected from an EMP, nuclear fallout, and natural disasters in order to remain functional during a long-term disaster." Please explain how solar panels will be affected. I have read numerous accounts that only the diodes will be affected. I have read numerous articles that say that the problem is a relatively easy fix, and there are "workarounds" in any event.
Please explain how fallout will affect a solar panel.
Yes, I suppose that you can say that a natural disaster such as a flood, tornado, or Yellowstone Caldera eruption can affect the functioning of solar panels, but you paint with a brush that is much too broad.
Replacement transformers would be installed by the replacement government, likely the Chinese.


DataRescue at MIT is a hackathon focused on identifying, downloading, processing, and mirroring federal research data at risk of being taken down or obscured by the current administration. The event is being hosted by MIT ACSES<https://www.facebook.com/MITACSES/>, MIT Libraries<https://www.facebook.com/mitlib/>, and The Environmental Data & Governance Initiative -EDGI<https://www.facebook.com/EnviroDGI/>, with support from MIT Graduate Student Council - GSC<https://www.facebook.com/MITgsc/> and MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering<https://www.facebook.com/MITCEE/>.
This event is part of a larger DataRescue Boston movement http://datarescue-boston.github.io/<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdatarescue-boston.github.io%2F&h=ATNTVLbMJnQO3O6HRh8eCP_r5c5XULpiGI7_rQlP-p7jmzGdc5idaeWZt1KSoRAiG52UuZ9LcjzGmTKO8zoKWg7mdnKDlGlOKrPNBQMOP5DGNdaTfl8niBU8gMnT7InEPaU&enc=AZMUiLC1TdAt4Hr8SlZy9BECmxOm6onjEBIOkMrRLzUKooQeR0yKt6dCb6XgYTyZlto&s=1>, which includes events and collaborators at Harvard, Tufts, and Northeastern, which is in turn part of a larger national DataRescue movement organized by the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative and Penn Program in the Environmental Humanities<https://www.facebook.com/ppehlab/>.
We will also need volunteers to help run the event! In particular, we need people who have experience in scraping data, working with and ensuring the integrity of large data sets, and/or are comfortable leading groups.
"Many people have asked about joining remotely or DataRescue events outside of Boston. We are planning on publishing resources after the event on how to continue contributing to the effort remotely.
Finally, join our facebook grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/datarescueboston/ to connect with other Boston DataRescuers and learn about more ways to contribute to the efforts beyond the events."
