Q: Issue with root certificates in Boxfuse Our service communicates with several AWS services such as KMS. Deploying our Boxfuse AMI results in this error in the logs whenever our service tries to call out to one of these AWS services:
Unable to execute HTTP request: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty
! java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty

Which I believe I've been able to trace back to being an SSL issue (we appear to be missing the appropriate root TLS certs)
We're using the Oracle JRE as described in the documentation by copying the JRE into the /src/main/resources directory. The JRE contains a cacerts file that should cover this, so I tried copying the cacerts file to /src/main/resources as described in the Boxfuse documentation:
You can, however, ship your own set of root certificates, by placing them in a KeyStore inside the Jar file as /cacerts. If you use Maven, this means your cacerts KeyStore file should be put into the src/main/resources directory.

However, I'm still getting the same error. Any ideas?

A: The latest released Boxfuse version fixed my issue. Thanks all!

Arthur ran a cafe in Rotherham. One day in January 2004, whilst in his cafe, he sold half a kilogramme of cocaine to Peter - not realising that Peter was an undercover police officer. Arthur was subsequently convicted of an offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. In the confiscation proceedings that followed the Regional Asset Recovery Team calculated Arthur's benefit of his 'criminal lifestyle' as nearly £400,000. We were instructed by the defence to critically examine the RART report.
We undertook an extremely detailed examination of Arthur's income and expenditure covering the period from a date 6 years prior to his arrest up to the date of our report, and his assets held since conviction.
Our examination confirmed some of the allegations in the RART report (particularly in relation to previous mortgage applications having been made on the basis of false income details), but enabled other previously unexplained items to be satisfactorily resolved.
Immediately prior to the scheduled court hearing the RART and Arthur agreed a benefit figure of just over £100,000 based on our report.

Q. What are the criteria for inclusion in the Catalogue?
The project is constantly evolving as users request more features and development on the app moves forward. At the moment we don't accept ebooks, any form of commercial digital books or transcriptions made available via Wikisource, but projects whose authorship can be traced back to one or multiple individuals with, if possible, an institutional affiliation (university and/or GLAM institution). We primarily look for digital editions and digital scholarly editions (by which we mean editions with a strong critical component) but people are also beginning to submit digital archives, textual collections where some texts are treated in more detail, etc. It's worth noting that people define their projects in various ways (e.g. a project may define itself as a database when it fact it might be more of a digital archive) using different terms synonymously. This makes it difficult to pick what should be included in our list or not. The line of inclusion in our catalogue is a little blurry but it reflects the fuzziness that comes with these projects.
If you have a project to submit but are unsure about its eligibility for inclusion, feel free to add it to the project's GitHub repository as an issue with the POTENTIAL label and we'll take a look. Our GitHub Wiki lists projects we considered but decided not to include.
Q. Why are there no Asian and/or African digital editions in the Catalogue?
Because the team cannot read those languages and we hesitate to rely on browser translation plugins as any machine translation errors would go unnoticed and possibly lead to incorrect cataloguing. We're eager to fill this gap but need help from users to do so.
Q. Would it be possible to add a text size feature?
Calculating the text size (tokens/types) of every project would require major efforts on our part as this information is almost never published on project websites. If this information were available, we would definitely consider adding the feature to the Catalogue.

UMKC Soars Past Skyhawks, 65-55
UMKC Athletics 11-26-2017
MARTIN, Tenn. – The UMKC men's basketball team (3-5) closed its busy week and captured its first victory on the road Sunday evening, taking down the UT Martin Skyhawks (1-5), 65-55.
The Roos opened the game on a 16-5 run led by a trio of 3-pointers and a jumper by sophomore Isaiah Ross (Davenport, Iowa). UT Martin hit one of its next nine field goals, as UMKC capitalized on its opportunities to take a 12-point lead at the 13:22 mark in the game.
Newcomer Tony Jackson (Montgomery, Ala.) hit a 3-pointer coming out of the media break at the midway point. A pair of free throws by Jordan Giles (Tuscaloosa, Ala.) ended a two-minute scoring drought by UMKC, as the Roos were shooting 56.3 percent from the field, 60.0 percent from three-point range and 50 percent from the free throw line with just under seven minutes left in the half.
Coming out of the final media timeout, Xavier Bishop (Springfield, Ill.) connected with Marvin Nesbitt Jr. (Chicago, Ill.), who drilled a 3-pointer to pull UMKC back out to a double-digit lead over the Skyhawks.
UMKC's defense forced six UT Martin turnovers in six and a half minutes that included a scoring drought for nearly four minutes during that timeframe. A pair of free throws by Brandon McKissic (Ferguson, Mo.) helped UMKC equal its largest lead of the game before Ross banged home his fourth trey of the game to put the Roos up by 15 points.
Ross hit a jumper with less than a minute left in the half to tie his season high 16 points in just 14 minutes of action on the court to lead all scorers. Senior Broderick Robinson (Grand Junction, Colo.) had seven first-half points, while Bishop and Giles each had six for UMKC.
On UMKC's first possession of the second half, Ross knocked down his fifth 3-pointer of the game to tally his career-high 19th point of the game. UT Martin went on a 7-0 run, while the Roos fell into a scoring drought for nearly four minutes until Aleer Leek (Juba, South Sudan) made his way to the free throw line to put a free shot away.
Both teams found themselves in a scoring drought at the midway point of the half before Jackson knocked down a 3-pointer to help UMKC extend its lead to its largest at 21 points.
Ross' sixth trey of the game broke scoring back open for UMKC with 5:45 remaining in the game before the Skyhawks responded on the other end. The sophomore wasn't done yet, as the guard knocked down his seventh 3-pointer with nearly three minutes remaining. Ross became the first UMKC student-athlete to connect seven shots from long range since former Roo LaVell Boyd hit seven 3-pointers against UT Martin last season.
UT Martin closed on a 10-0 run, while UMKC entered another scoring drought, but the Roos were able to capture their first road victory of the season with the 65-55 win over the Skyhawks.
Ross went 10-for-15 from the field – including 7-for-11 from behind the arc – for a career high 27 points. Bishop finished the game with a season-high six assists and five rebounds, while Leek also grabbed five rebounds to lead UMKC. As a team, the Roos shot 43.1 percent from the field, 50.0 percent from behind the arc and 70.0 percent from the free throw line.
The Roos will return to Kansas City to host South Dakota at Swinney Recreation Center on UMKC's campus on Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. CT. Tickets for the Roos game against the Coyotes are still available by visiting the UMKC website or calling 844-UMKC-FAN.

Why FDR Didn't Support Eleanor Roosevelt's Anti-Lynching Campaign
January 31, 2019 in History
By Becky Little
In December 2018, the U.S. Senate passed a federal anti-lynching bill for the first time. The significant milestone is preceded by at least 240 failed attempts since 1901 to pass any bill or resolution mentioning lynching in Congress. These attempts to outlaw lynching peaked during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was a strong supporter of anti-lynching legislation, but FDR never supported it for fear of alienating white Democratic voters in the south.
Eleanor joined the NAACP during FDR's first term in 1934 and began working with leader Walter White to outlaw lynching. This work earned her a lot of enemies, as well as some death threats. Critics of her husband like J. Edgar Hoover spread racist rumors that she was mixed race; and in the 1950s, the Ku Klux Klan put a $25,000 bounty on her head. Her work also caused a rift between her and her husband, whom she could never convince to support her cause.
First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt with Mary McLeod Bethune, National Youth Administration Director of Negro Activities, at the opening session of the National Conference on Problems of the Negro and Negro Youth.
In the mid-30s, the NAACP persuaded Democratic Senators Robert Wagner and Edward Costigan to sponsor an anti-lynching bill. The legislation couldn't survive without the president's support, so Eleanor arranged a meeting with White and FDR to try to convince the president to endorse it. The meeting didn't go well.
"Somebody's been priming you. Was it my wife?" FDR asked in annoyance after White presented his case. "If I come out for the anti-lynching bill now, [southern Democrats] will block every bill I ask Congress to pass to keep America from collapsing. I just can't take the risk."
Those bills he wanted to pass to keep America from collapsing were part of the New Deal. At the time, "the southern Democrats in the Senate are holding the New Deal hostage and refusing to move on New Deal issues unless the rest of the Democratic party backs off the anti-lynching bills," says Eric Rauchway, a history professor at the University of California, Davis.
The demographics of Republican and Democratic voters back then were much different than they are today. From the mid-19th century through the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Democratic party's base was made …read more

How Colonization's Death Toll May Have Affected Earth's Climate
By Sarah Pruitt
As the 15th century drew to a close, some 60 million people lived across the Americas, sustaining themselves with the bounty of the vast lands they inhabited.
But with the arrival of the first European settlers, waves of new diseases, along with warfare, slavery and other brutality would kill off around 56 million people, or around 90 percent of the indigenous population.
Now, scientists from the University College London (United Kingdom) argue in a new study that this "Great Dying" that followed European colonization of the Americas may have actually affected Earth's climate.
Their version of events, . The new study suggests that human impact on the planet stretches back centuries before the Industrial Revolution began, with the collapse of farming in the Americans hundreds of years ago.
Venezuela Presents an Opportunity for Peace with Russia
January 31, 2019 in Economics
For a moment, at least, the latest crisis is in Latin America,
not the Middle East. The Trump administration is hoping to
overthrow the disastrous Maduro government, which is busily
destroying Venezuela. Although the issue would appear to be of
little concern to Russia, its government is actively opposing U.S.
efforts.
Washington should insist that Moscow stay out—remember the
long ago Monroe Doctrine? But how could anyone, and especially
Russian President Vladimir Putin, take such a claim seriously?
America incessantly meddles along Russia's border, up to which it
wants to expand NATO, just a couple hundred miles from the Russian
capital. Washington's intentions don't matter; it's effectively
invited Moscow to return the favor. Thus is Russian involvement
also growing in Cuba, another revolutionary failure.
U.S. policy towards Russia has become a hopeless muddle.
Historically, America and Russia were friends. Unlike other leading
European countries, it did not lean toward the Confederacy during
the Civil War. In what should be a lesson for today, Washington
similarly stayed out of European battles with Russia, including the
Crimean War and later struggles in the Balkans that ultimately
triggered World War I.
It's time for Trump to
ignore the critics, sit down with Putin, and talk
turkey.
The latter conflict spawned the Bolshevik Revolution, along with
the Red Terror, Stalinist madness, and the simmering Cold War,
during which Moscow and Washington were estranged. But Christmas
1991 presented an opportunity as the Soviet flag was lowered for
the last time over the Kremlin. Friendship with Russia seemed
possible again. Alas, the West underestimated the difficulty of the
transition from totalitarian communism to democratic capitalism.
And the U.S. and Europe appeared determined to constantly deepen
Moscow's humiliation, incorporating its former allies and even
former Soviet republics into NATO, pushing the alliance ever
eastward.
Putin initially appeared to harbor little animus towards the
West. However, he and his people—Putin is far more
representative of the Russian public than Americans want to
believe—saw Western behavior in the Balkans, Georgia, and
Ukraine as hostile. Moscow's response to the anti-Russian
street putsch in Kiev, ostentatiously backed by American and
European officials, was brutal but effective. Russia reincorporated
Crimea under its control after a six-decade hiatus and enmeshed
Ukraine in an ongoing internal conflict, making it ineligible for
NATO membership. Sanctimonious complaints about Russian behavior
notwithstanding, no U.S. government would have stood idly by had
the old Soviet regime staged a coup against a democratically
elected, pro-American government in Mexico, and then invited the
new regime to join the Warsaw Pact.
The result has been a renewed rivalry highlighted by steadily
worsening bilateral relations. Western sanctions have caused pain
but had no apparent impact on Moscow's behavior. …read more
Make the Moral Case for Capitalism
By John A. Allison
Progressives want to accelerate the country's century-long
shift toward socialism with a long list of policies:
Medicare-for-all, "free" college, government-run energy
production and prescription-drug manufacturing, federal job and
housing guarantees, dramatically higher tax rates and new wealth
taxes, and a $15 minimum wage.
Conservatives have opposed these socialist proposals by pointing
out how much they will cost. For instance, they've trumpeted
a Mercatus Center study estimating that
Medicare-for-all would roughly double the federal budget. They have
explained how high tax rates would hurt economic growth. And
they've demonstrated how a $15 wage floor would hurt small
businesses and reduce job opportunities.
These arguments are all correct. But they do not address the
root of why these policy proposals are wrong. By merely citing the
financial or economic challenges of implementing them,
conservatives cede the moral high ground and tacitly accept the
Left's premises.
Collectivism is backed by
compulsion, where one side wins and the other loses, rather than
voluntary trade for mutual benefit.
To win the battle of ideas, conservatives must fight on
philosophical grounds, explaining why these policies are immoral.
They must make the case based on ethics rather than economics
because the latter is downstream from the former. It is only a
matter of time before a purely economic or logical argument loses
to a moral or emotional one.
In practice this means explaining why the fundamental principle
of collectivism underlying these socialist proposals is immoral: It
violates the individual rights upon which societal progress and
happiness are based. Collectivism is backed by compulsion, where
one side wins and the other loses, rather than voluntary trade for
mutual benefit.
One of the most compelling moral arguments in favor of the free
market is that it is the system most conducive to allowing people
to pursue their dreams and creativity, which — for the
overwhelming majority of people — manifest themselves through
professional work.
In work, this creative pursuit is known as entrepreneurship. It
is responsible for raising human society and living standards. Yet
it is possible only to the degree that markets are free. Why?
Because in order to innovate — by definition — you must
be free to disagree.
Consider Medicare-for-all. The Medicare for All Act, which was supported by
two-thirds of Democrats in the House of Representatives last
Congress, states, "No institution may be a participating
provider unless it is a public or not-for-profit
institution." This would mean that doctors and medical
entrepreneurs would be required to follow the government's
medical policies and procedures. There would be no room in such a
system for entrepreneurs who disagree with the status quo, meaning
an end to the medical …read more
There's Cold—and Then There Was February 1899
By Christopher Klein
Snow weighed down the fronds of palm trees of Fort Myers, .
Nearly three feet of snow fell in Cape May, New Jersey, while 19 inches fell in Philadelphia and 16 in New York City and Boston. In Brooklyn, the bitter temperatures and 36 consecutive hours of snow left mail carriers so frostbitten that the postal service restricted delivery to just one round a day.
No amount of snow, though, could keep the Mardi Gras revelers in New Orleans from making their appointed rounds. The day after temperatures hit an all-time low of 7 degrees and as ice flowed down the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico, the traditional carnival and Rex parade went on as scheduled through the streets of New Orleans.
Valentine's Day saw the last of the bitter cold, and hearts began to warm along with the temperatures. Days after experiencing record cold, Washington, D.C., saw temperatures hit 61 degrees—a 77-degree swing. By February 22, the three-foot snow pack in the nation's capital had melted to mere traces.
A surface temperature map from February 1899 outlining the maximum (solid black lines), minimum (dashed black lines), and average (solid red lines) temperatures across the contiguous United States.
Even with the warmer temperatures that came in the latter half of the month, February 1899 remains the second-coldest February ever recorded in the United States—behind only 1936. The geographic range of the icy temperatures, however, remains historic.
The Great Arctic Outbreak caused millions of dollars of damage to crops and cooled the economy as barge traffic stalled on the Mississippi River and Great Lakes. Fish and game birds died in large numbers as did livestock that froze to death. There was a human toll as well. The U.S. Weather Bureau reported that between January 29 and February 13, 105 Americans died from avalanches and the freezing temperatures brought on by the Great Arctic Outbreak.
1969 Moon Landing
By History.com Editors
On July 20, 1969, two American astronauts landed on the moon and became the first humans to walk on the lunar surface. The event marked the culmination of a nearly decade-long intense push to meet a challenge posed by President John F. Kennedy.
On July 20, 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin (1930-) became the first humans ever to land on the moon. About six-and-a-half hours later, Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. As he set took his first step, Armstrong famously said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." The Apollo 11 mission occurred eight years after President John F. Kennedy (1917-63) announced a national goal of landing a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s. Apollo 17, the final manned moon mission, took place in 1972.
The Apollo Program
The American effort to send astronauts to the moon had its origins in an appeal President John F. Kennedy made to a special joint session of Congress on May 25, 1961: "I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth."
At the time, the United States was still trailing the Soviet Union in space developments, and Cold War-era America welcomed Kennedy's bold proposal.In 1966, after five years of work by an international team of scientists and engineers, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) conducted the first unmanned Apollo mission, testing the structural integrity of the proposed launch vehicle and spacecraft combination.
Then, on January 27, 1967, tragedy struck at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, when a fire broke out during a manned launch-pad test of the Apollo spacecraft and Saturn rocket. Three astronauts were killed in the fire.
President Richard Nixon spoke with Armstrong and Aldrin via a telephone radio transmission shortly after they planted the American flag on the lunar surface. Nixon considered it the "most historic phone call ever made from the White House."
Despite the setback, NASA and its thousands of employees forged ahead, and in October 1968 Apollo 7, the first manned Apollo mission, orbited Earth and successfully tested many of the sophisticated systems needed to conduct a moon journey and landing.
In December of the same year, Apollo 8 took three astronauts …read more
The Founding Fathers
These military leaders, rebels, politicians and writers varied in personality, status and background, but all played a part in forming a new nation and hammering out the framework for the young democracy.
Without them, there would have been no United States of America. The Founding Fathers, a group of predominantly wealthy plantation owners and businessmen, united 13 disparate colonies, fought for independence from Britain and penned a series of influential governing documents that steer the country to this day.
All the Founding Fathers, including the first four U.S. presidents, at one point considered themselves British subjects. But they revolted against the restrictive rule of King George III—outlining their grievances in the Declaration of Independence, a powerful (albeit incomplete) call for freedom and equality—and won a stunning military victory over what was then the world's preeminent superpower.
The Founders proved equally adept later on in peacetime. When the federal government tottered under the Articles of Confederation, prominent citizens met anew to hammer out the U.S. Constitution, overcoming major areas of disagreement between large and small states and Southern and Northern ones to form a stable political system. Showing foresight, they included a Bill of Rights, which enshrined many civil liberties into law and provided a blueprint for other emerging democracies.
There's no official consensus on who should be considered a Founding Father, and some historians object to the term altogether. On the whole, though, it's applied to those leaders who initiated the Revolutionary War and framed the Constitution. Here are eight of the most influential characters in America's origin story:
Advice from the Founding Fathers: George Washington (TV-PG; 1:18)
Before he fought against the British, George Washington fought for the British, serving as a commander in the French and Indian War. A prosperous Virginia farmer who owned hundreds of slaves, he came to resent the various taxes and restrictions being imposed on the colonies by the British crown.
Once the Revolutionary War broke out in 1775, he was placed in charge of the Continental Army and quickly suffered a near-disastrous defeat at the Battle of Brooklyn. More defeats followed—all in all, Washington lost more battles than he won. Nonetheless, he kept his ragtag troops together even through a freezing winter at Valley Forge and, with the help of his French allies, was able to expel the British by …read more
See Stunning Photos of King Tut's Tomb After a Major Restoration
After almost a decade of painstaking work, conservators in Egypt have revealed the newly revamped tomb of Tutankhamen, better known as King Tut.
In addition to cleaning and restoring the paintings that adorn the walls of the tomb, the combined efforts of the Getty Conservation Institute and the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities focused on combating the wear and tear sustained through decades of tourist activity, and protecting it from further decay and deterioration.
The 12th pharaoh of the 18th Egyptian dynasty, Tutankhamen (or Tutankhamun) became king of Egypt when he was only nine years old. He ruled for less than a decade, from approximately 1332 to 1323 B.C., before dying mysteriously at the age of 19. Experts now believe he contracted gangrene from an infected leg wound.
Despite his short reign, King Tut has become the most famous of all Egypt's pharaohs thanks to the splendour of his tomb, which was first discovered in 1922 by the British archaeologist Howard Carter. The entrance to the tomb, located in the famous Valley of the Kings, had been concealed by debris, and remained hidden for 3,000 years after the pharaoh's death.
Conservation work being conducted on the wall paintings of King Tut's burial chamber in spring 2016.

When Carter and his fellow archaeologist, George Herbert, Lord Carnarvon, entered, they found the tomb and its contents largely intact, including marvelous paintings, grave goods such as jewelry, statues, oils and perfumes and three coffins nestled inside each other, with the innermost gold coffin containing King Tut's mummy.
King Tut's tomb quickly became one of Egypt's top tourist attractions, welcoming as many as 4,000 tourists a day by the late 1980s. By that time, experts had grown concerned about the effects of such heavy tourism on the burial chamber. In addition to carrying in dust from their clothing and shoes, some visitors even scratched graffiti on the tomb's surfaces. Meanwhile, the flood of humid air and carbon dioxide into what had been a closed space for thousands of years had caused a large amount of what looked like microbiological or fungal growth, in the form of mysterious brown spots spreading across the walls.
Beginning in 2009, in cooperation with the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, the Getty Conservation Institute undertook the multi-year conservation effort of King Tut's tomb. The team of conservators cleaned and …read more
U.S. Foreign Policy Should Not Be a Religious Crusade
Christians and other religious minorities continue to be at risk
in the Middle East, now, it is said, because the Trump
administration intends to withdraw from Syria. Their fate long has

campaign, Sen. Marco Rubio complained that "due to the
scourge of radical Islam, some churches that have existed since the
Book of Acts are on the brink of ruin."
However, it was promiscuous military intervention backed by
Rubio and many Christian leaders that loosed this scourge upon
Middle Eastern Christians. Indeed, absent the Iraq invasion, there
would be no Islamic State. In practice, Mideast Christians may have
no more dangerous enemy than Uncle Sam. U.S. policy, often backed
by influential (if misguided) American evangelical leaders, has
consistently painted a target on their coreligionists in the
birthplace of Christianity.
Now, to redress the ill consequences of their earlier policy
prescriptions, some evangelicals want to conscript their fellow
countrymen to intervene militarily on behalf of the Christians
behalf in the same region. Washington should continue, presumably
forever, to illegally occupy Syria's north, and confront
Turks, Iranians, Russians, Syrians, and ISIS fighters in a region
of no serious security interest to America.
Military involvement in
the Middle East should reflect the interests of the United
States—all of its people—not just
evangelicals.
Assuaging one's guilt for past mistakes is not a valid
reason to go to war, however.
Washington has attacked Mideast Christians for years and on
multiple fronts. The most enduring problem has been the uncritical
embrace by many evangelicals of Israel, to the exclusion of
Palestinian Christians. In 2016 Republican presidential candidates
were particularly shameless in competing to give the most absolute
and fulsome endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu's radical
government and occupation policies.
Yet Christians living in the West Bank suffer under military
rule and de facto colonization by sometimes violent settlers, who
often make "price tag" attacks on local Christians. In
contrast, noted the State Department, "Relations between
Palestinian Christians and Muslims were generally good, with both
groups focusing more on ethnic and political similarities than
religious differences." On one trip to Israel I had dinner
with several Arab Christians in Bethlehem, in the occupied West
Bank, and they talked of inconvenience, hardship, harassment, fear,
and discrimination.
Even in Israel proper, vandalism and harassment of Christian
property and clergy, respectively, by ultra-Orthodox activists is
common. The extremist group Lehava explicitly targets Christians;
its head, Benzion Goptstein, called them "vampires and blood
suckers" who should be expelled. Official Israeli policy is
overtly hostile to Christians who visit to promote their faith. But
evangelical leaders usually say nothing. I met Melkite Catholic
Archbishop Abuna Elias Chacour a few years ago, …read more
Washington's Incoherent Policy Towards Dictators
By Ted Galen Carpenter
Throughout both the Cold War and the post-Cold War eras, U.S.
policy regarding dictatorships has been one of unprincipled
extremes.
Behavior toward "friendly dictators" has often been
embarrassingly cozy. Indeed, Washington often seems to prefer cooperative tyrants to the unpredictability of
democratic governments in Third World countries and the policies
they might adopt. Thus, during the Cold War, the United States
avidly supported ruthless dictatorial regimes in such places as
South Korea, Taiwan, Zaire, Egypt, and Nicaragua. On several
occasions, U.S. administrations even used the CIA to overthrow
obstreperous democratic governments and help install vicious
successors deemed to be pro-American. Such operations took place in
Iran, Guatemala, Chile, and elsewhere.
Washington's preference for autocratic allies has not
entirely disappeared. U.S. officials have shown few signs of displeasure with Egypt's
government, even though the Egyptian military ousted Mohamed Morsi
after he was democratically elected. Likewise, the Trump
administration's relationship with Saudi Arabia's
murderous totalitarian theocracy remains exceedingly close, despite Riyadh's
genocidal war in Yemen and other outrages.
It's been either
self-serving fawning collaboration or hostile meddling. Will
Venezuela be any different?
Conversely, U.S. hostility towards autocratic governments deemed
unfriendly to American economic or strategic interests appears to
know no bounds. Both the Obama and Trump administrations have
backed an active policy of regime change against Syrian leader
Bashar al-Assad. Washington was even more proactive in the cases of
Iraq and Libya, leading regime change wars that ousted Saddam
Hussein and Moammar Gaddafi. U.S. policy toward Iran's
clerical government clearly aims to achieve the same result.
America's leaders thus appear incapable of adopting a balanced,
nuanced policy toward dictatorships. Washington's stance is one of
either fawning collaboration or blatantly hostile meddling. But the
Trump administration now has an opportunity to correct that problem
and adopt a reasonable middle course with regard to developments in
Venezuela.
Nicolás Maduro's regime deserves no sympathy, much less support,
from anyone. Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, adopted
socialist economic policies that transformed Venezuela from one of
Latin America's most prosperous countries into an utterly dysfunctional nightmare. In an effort
to preserve their political rule, Chavez and Maduro also pursued
ever-tightening authoritarian measures. They defenestrated the
business community, eradicated a free press, and jailed political
opponents. Even though Maduro supposedly won re-election in the May
2018 presidential contest, the balloting was a textbook example of wide-scale fraud. Venezuela
has gradually transformed from a socialist, illiberal democracy to
a thinly disguised dictatorship.
Serious political turmoil has escalated now that opposition
leader Juan Guaido, the head of the National Assembly, declared
himself acting president, challenging …read more

Hayley Atwell has been hounding Marvel for an Agent Carter movie
Sam Barsanti
As much as Robert Downey Jr. clearly enjoys playing Tony Stark, there probably isn't anybody in the Marvel Cinematic Universe who really loves their character as much as Hayley Atwell, who played Peggy Carter in Captain America: The First Avenger, starred in her own Agent Carter series on ABC, and has popped up in little cameos elsewhere in the MCU. Unfortunately, with Agent Carter getting canceled and Peggy herself dying off-screen in Captain America: Civil War, we may have seen the last of Atwell's character—unless she gets any say in it. In a recent interview with Comic Book Resources, Atwell talked about what it was like when Agent Carter got canceled, and she revealed that she's still holding on to the hope that Peggy Carter will come back in some way.
In fact, Atwell says she's been known to "hound" Marvel Studios co-president Louis D'Esposito about giving her a movie, noting that the later Captain America movies have confirmed her character lived a long, adventure-filled life outside of what we saw in Agent Carter. She says she's "banking on" waiting until she's "in [her] fifties" and then coming back to "see what Peggy's up to in this decade." As for Agent Carter itself, Atwell says it's "still a much-loved show for the people involved in the making of it," and she'd be "very happy" to go back to it if she gets the chance.
That being said, it doesn't seem especially likely that ABC—or some other network/streaming service—actually would resurrect Agent Carter. Atwell is already on a new show at the network (Conviction), and Netflix also passed on an Arrested Development-style rescue. But who knows, maybe the Avengers will fight Kang after they battle Thanos in the Infinity War movies, and then they'll get to do some time travel-based movies in a decade or so.

Travel Prep: 10 Financial To-Dos Before Going on a Trip
Plan a trip without worrying about your finances. Here's how.
By Charlene Oldham September 18, 2019 Compare Travel Credit Cards
4 People Whose Identities Were Stolen — and How They Got Through It

From searching for the best flight deals to finding the perfect Airbnb rental, travelers often spend hours planning the perfect vacation. Unfortunately, many jet-setters neglect to take the same care with their financial planning.
"Before leaving for a vacation, it's important to create a 'financial to-do list' to ensure your finances are kept in order while you're away," said Natasha Rachel Smith, a consumer affairs expert with TopCashback.com.
Making a few small monetary moves before leaving for your trip can ensure your re-entry into the real world is as smooth as possible. Here are 10 tips to avoid financial ruin and overspending on your next trip.

Set Up Automatic Payments for Bills
"It is easy to forget about finances while on a trip," said David McCormick-Goodhart, a Virginia-based financial advisor with the wealth management firm Savant Capital Management. "Prior to leaving, do a quick accounting of the direct deposits and automatic withdrawals that will occur while you are away to make sure that your account balance does not go negative."
For most accounts — including credit cards, car loans, utilities and mortgages — setting up automatic payments is as easy as making a phone call or sharing banking information through a creditor's website. Taking this step will help you avoid late fees or suspended services if a bill comes due while you're out of town.
And if you continue using automatic payment services, you can save time, paper and postage even after your vacation is over. Some companies even offer auto-enrollment discounts and perks as incentives for customers. For the odd expense that can't be paid automatically, be sure to send funds in advance of your departure date.

Know What's in Your Wallet -- and Let Your Bank Know, Too
When you plan a trip, decide which credit and debit cards you'll be using while on the road. Then let your bank and credit card companies know where you are going and how long you'll be gone, so the charges and withdrawals you make while you're out of town won't be flagged as suspicious. Some banks also let users set up text alerts that notify them of charges to help make spotting fraudulent activity easier in case your card is stolen while you're traveling.
Additionally, travelers can protect themselves by taking note of the contents of their wallets prior to departure.
"Have an inventory of your wallet or purse in case it is lost or stolen," said Grainne Kelly, a family travel expert and CEO of inflatable car seat company BubbleBum. "This will be a lifesaver when and if you need to contact banks and credit card companies or replace identification. Copies of important credit cards, your driver's license, passports and insurance cards are easy to make and keep in an envelope that can be stored in a room safe while you are traveling."
You might also want to consider keeping some cash and a backup credit card in your room safe or another secure location in case your belongings are lost or stolen. And always leave a credit card back home, since replacement cards can take a while to arrive in the mail.

Choose Travel-Friendly Debit and Credit Cards
When it comes to foreign exchange fees, not all credit cards are created equal, said Eric Espino, co-founder of the travel-centric search engine TourMega.
"Most people don't realize this, but the vast majority of credit cards charge 2 percent to 4 percent for purchases made outside of the U.S.," he said. "When paying for hotels, tours, dinners, etc., on your trip, that adds up to real money that could easily have been saved if you planned ahead of time."
Some debit cards also charge fees when bank customers use out-of-network ATMs in the U.S., said Patti Reddi, founder of the travel site The Savvy Globetrotter.
"If you do not already have one, consider getting a debit card that does not charge foreign transaction fees or fees for using ATMs from other banks," she said.

Use Travel Budgeting Tools or Prepaid Cards
Nothing kills a post-vacation buzz quite like spender's remorse. Fortunately, you can take steps to stick to your budget while you're away.
"To be able to keep your financial life in order on your trip, the best thing to do is create a budget," said Anton Brandberg, an online marketer and freelance writer whose travel-related credentials include a stint as a currency exchange officer. "It is even possible to download apps to your phone from an app store to help you do this."
Use travel apps on your trip like Trail Wallet, a free travel expense tracker available for the iPhone and iPad. It lets you set daily and trip-long budgets and track spending in categories such as food, transportation, accommodations and even bribes. And for kids and less tech-savvy travelers, there are other techniques for sticking to a spending plan.
"Give the kids a prepaid card with a set amount for them to spend on things that they want," said LaKesha Womack, who travels frequently for her brand management and business planning firm Womack Consulting Group. "Kids are less likely to spend their own money on wasteful items, and [it] will teach them how to manage their funds."

Set Up Account Monitoring Tools
Account monitoring can help protect you from identity theft and ensure your vacation is truly the VIP travel experience you deserve.
A financial counselor, author and CEO of H.E. Freeman Enterprises, Harrine Freeman recommends implementing several banking tools, including automatic text or email alerts when your account balances dip to a certain level, automated access that allows you to easily check transactions and alerts that notify you if a transaction is flagged or declined.
"This reduces your chances of identity theft or fraud, helps to prevent overdrawn accounts and bank fees and helps you detect errors or suspicious charges quickly," said Freeman.
This financial hack can also help you track travel spending and everyday expenses once you return home. Consumers can sign up for online banking access and other tracking features through most major banks' websites in just a few minutes.
Examine Exchange Rates
"Research your destination's currency at least four weeks before your departure date," said Daisy Cropper, a former digital content specialist with APA Publications, which produces Insight Guides and other travel publications. "This one sounds blatantly obvious. If you're traveling in Europe, however, it's all too easy to assume countries take the euro. Not all do. Others insist on travelers buying currency on their arrival or have very specific rules on what they'll accept — only pristine U.S. dollars are taken in Myanmar, for example."
You should also research how to snag the best exchange rate, which is rarely found at the airport, according to Espino. He recommends looking up real-time data from reliable sources, such as The Wall Street Journal or Bloomberg.
"With the market exchange rate in hand, you can now shop around and see what the various banks or kiosks are offering and look for the best rates," he said. "In some countries, it makes sense to wait until [you're] outside of the airport and in a popular financial or commercial area to shop around for the best rates."

Travel insurance can save the day when it comes to vacation-specific expenses.
"Ensure you're insured," said Smith. "Travel insurance can cover anything from medical expenses and theft of belongings to cancelled trips and travel inconvenience. Consider what kind of coverage you might want or need and arrange it before you leave."
Vacationers should also review their existing insurance policies before hitting the road or taking to the air. If you plan on renting a car, review your auto insurance policy to see what's covered in case of an accident. And touch base with your health insurer, particularly if you're traveling internationally, said April Masini, an author, relationship expert and seasoned traveler.
"Make a call or shoot an email to your health insurance company and ask them about healthcare and emergency healthcare coverage while you're away from home. Some insurance companies have restrictions and/or exclusions for coverage," she said. "This research before you go might save you big bucks if you need medical care while on a trip."

Update Important Documents
Vacationers should make sure all life insurance policies, beneficiary designations and wills are up to date. They should also consider giving someone they trust power of attorney over financial affairs, particularly if they are planning a sabbatical or epic trip.
"Hopefully this doesn't ever come into play, but having these things in order is always the most responsible thing to do. There should also be someone that you trust designated to act on your behalf, with knowledge of the location of these documents," said Rich Thompson Jr., a financial strategist and founder of Advanced Legacy Concepts.
A highly encrypted cloud storage account offers an online alternative for scanning and storing important information and has the added advantage of being accessible from anywhere with the proper passwords, Thompson said. He went on to recommend purchasing an electronic vault or getting one free from a financial advisor.

Study Cell Service Options
"If you plan on taking your phone abroad, make sure you know your international roaming rates," said Benjamin Glaser, former editor with the online deal site DealNews.
Glaser said that travelers with unlocked GSM phones (Global System for Mobile Communication) can often get local SIM cards overseas, since most phone networks outside the U.S. and Russia rely on GSM technology. And for locales with easy access to WiFi, downloading apps like Skype and WhatsApp can provide the most economical option for communicating with friends and family back home.
Just make sure to turn off your cellular data when using your smartphone or tablet.

Put a Hold on Mail and Other Services
Even if most of your mail comes electronically these days, it's still important to put a hold on your physical mail delivery. There are scammers out there who make money from stealing mail that could include identity-related information, such as Social Security numbers or account passwords.
"Snail mail needs to be secure," said Diane Nissen, owner and financial advisor at the Alexandrite Group.
Travelers can request a hold for up to 30 days by phone, on the U.S. Postal Service website or by filling out a form in person at the post office, which also offers a domestic forwarding service if you'll be vacationing at the same temporary address for a while.
Likewise, vacationers can often request holds for newspapers, magazines and other subscription-based services, such as meal-delivery plans, gym memberships and streaming services. The savings add up, particularly if you'll be out of town for an extended getaway.

Tesla does away with regular maintenance and inspection for its cars
2 min read 2 min 8 Shares 8 No comments 0
Authored by: Steffen Herget 10 months ago
Cars have to be regularly serviced in the garage if you want to keep the warranty and be safe on the road. Not so with Tesla, however, because they are now cancelling the maintenance cycle completely. Repairs and controls should only be carried out when necessary.
According to a report in CNet, Tesla evaluated the data from previous years and found that Elon Musk's electric cars wear out much less than expected. This is why Tesla is now abandoning the obligation to provide service and is only bringing Tesla customers into the workshop as required. Only the brake fluid should still be checked for contamination every two years. The loss of the annual inspection at Tesla has no influence on the warranty.

EVs do not wear so quickly
In fact, electric cars like Tesla's suffer less from wear and tear than those with internal combustion engines. This is also logical, since there are significantly fewer moving parts in the drive. Also the brakes are not often needed, the recuperation, i.e. the energy recovery in the electric motor, can also slow down. Things like shock absorbers or steering do not show any different behavior.
Tesla can now look back on several years of experience. The company presented its first car, the Roadster, back in 2006. The Model S luxury sedan has been available since 2012 and has been sold over 60,000 times in the USA since then and the Tesla Model 3 mid-range vehicle is reaching a new mass audience.
In the past, Tesla was comparatively often confronted with quality problems, for example when processing the bodywork. Recently, however, things have become calmer in this area. Tesla is currently struggling with the problem of not finding enough suppliers to deliver the cars to the customer. The number of units produced has been rising steadily for some time now.
Have you tried a Tesla electric car? What do you think of them?

As China starts landing jets on its first aircraft carrier, the U.S. Navy is preparing to test take offs and landings of carrier-based unmanned aircraft, a first for the Navy.
Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) loaded a Northrop Grummen X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System demonstrator that arrived by barge Nov. 26 from Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md. Truman will be the first aircraft carrier to host test operations for an unmanned aircraft.
The X-47B, which boasts a wingspan of more than 62 feet (wider than that of an F/A-18 Super Hornet), is hoping to demonstrate seamless integration into carrier flight deck operations through various tests. During each demonstration, the X-47B will be controlled remotely via a hand-held control display.
The U.S. Navy says the tests will be conducted over a three week period which will include in-port and underway demonstrations aboard Truman.

tv President Obama Joint News Conference with French President Francois... CSPAN November 24, 2015 8:00pm-9:03pm EST
example, world war ii, when we announcer: tonight, president obama and president hollande had a briefing in the white house. and chris christie discusses foreign policy and national security. announcer: french president hollande was in washington 10 today for a meeting -- washington today for a meeting with president obama at the white house. an hour.
president obama: president hollande, it has been an honor to welcome you to the white house before in happier times than this but, as americans, we stand by our friends in good times and in bad no matter what. on behalf of the american people, i want to once again express our deepest condolences to you and all of the people of france for the heinous attacks that took place in paris. we are here today to declare that the united states and france stand united in total solidarity to deliver justice to these terrorists and those who sent them and to defend our nation's. in that spirit, with heavy but strong hearts, i welcome you here today. francois, with your understanding, my statement will be longer than usual. i have been traveling and this is an important moment for our nations and for the world. this barbaric terrorist group, isl or daesh, and his murderous ideology poses a serious threat to all of us.
it cannot be tolerated. it must be destroyed. and we must do it together. this is the unity of purpose that brings us here today. on your visit here last year, you said the french love america. we love the french. sometimes, we americans are two -- too shy to say so but we don't feel shy today. we americans love france because we dedicate ourselves to the same ideals, that all people deserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. france is our oldest ally. you helped us win our independence. we helped liberate france from fascism. we owe our freedom to each other. we love france for your spirit and your culture j and youroie
de vivre.ie since the attacks, americans have recalled their own visits to paris at the eiffel tower walking along the sein and we know these placese, these are part of our memories woven into the fabric of our lives and our culture. i am very grateful to the french people for the hospitality they have always shown me. when they walked with michelle welcomedenthe they michelle and my daughters to the first visit of the city of lights. from my bed in the residence is a picture of me and michelle in luxembourg gardens kissing. [laughter] those are the memories we have a of paris as early on i had no gray hair. when tragedy struck that evening, our hearts broke, too. in that stadium, in the concert hall, in those restaurants and cafes we see our own.
in the face of the french people, we see ourselves that's why so many americans have embraced the blue, white, and red and that's why americans held candlelight vigils and have come together to sing la marseillaise how the french we remember how the french after 9/11 and today we stand with you. [speaking french] it's been noted that the terrorists did not direct their attacks against the french government or military, rather they focused their violence on the very spirit of france. by extension, and all liberal democracies. this was an attack on our free and open societies. where people come together to celebrate and sing and compete
and targeting venues where people come together from around the world, killing citizens of nearly 20 countries including america, this was an attack on the very idea that people of different races and religions and backgrounds can live together in peace. in short, this was not only a strike against one of the world's greatest cities. it was an attack against the world itself, the same madness that has slaughtered the innocent from nigeria to the sinai, from lebanon to iraq. it is a scourge that threatens all of us and that's why, for more than a year, united states, france, and our coalition of some 65 nations have been united in one mission -- to destroy these terrorists and defeat their vile ideology. today, president hollandee and i i president hollande and
reviewed our progress. we have airstrikes combined with local partners on the ground have pushed isl back from territory in iraq and syria. today, president hollande and i agree we must do more together. u.s. assistance has supported recent french strikes in syria and we will keep stepping up that coordination. as we saw with the attack in mali, the terrorist threat goes beyond isl i. will sign isil.ond we will sign legislation this week to sustain our support including airlift and intelligence to allies like france as we work together to root out terrorists networks in africa.
we will do even more to prevent attacks at home. we will build in a recent intelligence agreement come of the unite states will quickly share threat information with france and in the wake of harris and with the threats in belgium, there is a growing recognition among european nations that they need to ramp up additional efforts to prevent the flow of foreign terrorist fighters. as part of that, i am calling on the european union to finally implement the agreement that has been long in the works that would require airlines to share passenger information so we can do more to stop foreign terrorist fires -- fighters from entering our countries undetected. i'm prepared to send teams of our experts to work on this with our european partners to make sure we redouble our efforts together. regarding the broader crisis in syria -- president holland and i agree that the russian strikes against the moderate opposition only bolsters the brutality that has fueled the rise of isis we agree that russia could play more constructive role. if it were to shift the focus of
its strikes to defeating isil. likewise, president hollande and i agree the best way to bring peace to syria's through the principles reaffirmed in vienna which require active russian support for a cease-fire and a political transition away from assad to a democratically elected government that can unite the syrian people against terrorists. finally, fran and i understand himancoi -- and i understand one of our greatest weapons in the fight againstois isl is the strength and resilience of our people.
i want to speak directly to the american people. what happened in paris is truly horrific. i understand that people worry that something similar could happen here. i want you to know that we will continue to do everything in our power to defend our nation. since 9/11, we have taken extraordinary measures to strengthen our homeland security. our counterterrorism, homeland security, and law enforcement professionals, federal, state, and local our tireless. they have prevented attacks and they have saved lives. they are working every hour, every day for our security. they did so before paris. they do so now and they will not stop. they are the best in the world. it's not just our security professionals who will defeat isl and other terrorist groups. as americans, we all have a role to play in how we respond to threats. groups like isl cannot defeat us on the battlefield, they try to terrorize us at home against soft targets come against civilians, innocent people. even as we are vigilant, we cannot and we will not succumb to fear. nor can we allow fear to divide us. that's how terrorists win.
we cannot give them the victory of changing how we go about living our lives. the good news is americans are resilient. we mourned the lives lost in fort hood, the boston marathon, in chattanooga but we did not waver. in our communities have come together and we have gone to ball games and going to concerts and gone shopping and men and women who want to serve our country continue to go to military recruiting offices. we are vigilant, we take precautions, but we go about our business. for those who want to harm us, or actions have shown that we have too much resolve and too much character.
americans will not be terrorized. i say all this because another part of being vigilant, another part of defeating terrorists is upholding the rights and freedoms that define our two great republics. that includes freedom of religion. that includes equality before the law. there have been times in our history, in moments of fear, when we have failed to uphold our highest ideals. and it has been to our lasting regret. we must uphold our ideals now. each of us, all of us, must show that america is strengthened by people of every faith and every background. related to this, i want to note that oz debts that under
president hollande, france intends to welcome 30,000 more syrian refugees over the next two years. in the united states, refugees coming to america go through up to two years of intense security checks including biometric screening. nobody who sets foot in america goes for more screening than refugees. we are prepared to share these tools with france and our european partners. as francois said, our humanitarian duty to help refugees in her duty to -- and our duty to our security, those duties go hand-in-hand. on the statue of liberty, a gift from the people of france, there are words we know so well. "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to be free." that's the spirit that makes us americans. that's the spirit that binds us
to france. that's the spirit we need today. in closing, i want to salute the people of paris for showing the world how to stay strong in the face of terrorism. even as they grieve, people have begun returning to their cafes and riding the metro and going to stadiums to cheer for their teams. crowds have tattered -- have gathered including a mother who brought her children. she said, to let them see we should not be afraid. as one parisian said, paris will always be paris. next week, i will be joining president hollande and world leaders in paris for the global climate conference. what a powerful rebuke to the terrorists it will be when the
world stands as one and shows that we will not be deterred from building a better future for our children. a so, president hollande, my for fellow americans, let's remember we face greater threats to where we have like before. -- to our way of life before. fascism, communism, a first world war, a second, a long cold war. each and every time, we prevailed. we have prevailed because our way of life is stronger. because we stay united. because even as we are relentless in the face of evil, we draw on what's best in ourselves and in the character of our countries. it will be no different this time. make no mistake -- we will win and groups like isl will lose. standing with allies like
france, we will continue to show the world the best of american leadership. viva la france and god bless the united states of america. mr. president -- pres. hollande: ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to thank the president of the united states, barack obama, for the solidarity he has shown immediately as we found out about the terror attacks. he was the first one to call me. it was very late in france, 2:00 a.m., when he called. the president of the united states. he expresses solidarity toward france and his emotions and his compassion.
him on that night, he meant to tell me that united states stood by france. that the help that could be provided to france would have no limit on that we had a duty, a joint duty, to pull our forces together and fight terrorism. him i do not forget either all of the american people -- who sent messages over the last couple of days. the french colors, the french flags, all of them in many gatherings, they let candles and places that represent france here in the united states. our national anthem was sung in official ceremonies. it is true that 9/11, we all
felt american. but after the 13th of november, americans felt french. our two peoples together emerged as one, sharing the same emotions and also the same willingness to fight for freedom and defend their values. we are not too similar peoples, we have our own culture, our own background. we share the same trust, the same faith and freedom. -- faith in freedom. it is france that came under attack on the 13th of november. friends, for what it is, -- france, for what it is the , country which we consider unique in the world because
france [indiscernible] [inaudible] the world. france came under attack for what it represents, for what it stands for, its culture, our way of living as well as our values, our principles but by targeting france, the terrorists, the murderers are targeting the world. in these cafes and restaurants as well as the concert venue, there were men and women, most of them young who came from 20 countries at least. and they shared the same passion for life and is the reason why they were murdered. my thoughts are with the friends and family of the un-american -- of the young american student who came as well to share a
moment of culture. my thoughts also go to the american band that was playing at the concert that night. all culture on that occasion were together to bring the same enthusiasm and they were hit i terrorists. -- by terrorists. the terror group organized itself on the territory and they have substantial resources. they are thriving on smuggling, drugs, oil, human beings. since the beginning of the year, they hit many countries, denmark
, tunisia, lebanon, kuwait, turkey, egypt as well as russia. by taking down the russian plane. together with president obama, today, we want on the occasion of that meeting first of all to share, share our determination and present our determination to fight terrorism everywhere and anywhere. we want to tell the world that we will not allow those who want to destroy what we have built, we will not allow them to do it, to destroy what generation after generation, we will not bow to them in the world. we need a joint response, and implacable response. france and the united states spend together that joint response. militarily, it is about not where they are, it is about
-- militarily, it is about esh wherever they are. it is about taking out their finances, hunting down their leaders, dismantling their network. and taking back the land they currently control. we therefore decided, president obama and myself, to scale up our efforts in syria and iraq to broaden the scope, to strengthen our intelligence sharing regarding the targets we might aim at. the priority is to take back key locations in the hands of those in syria and it's a matter of urgency to close the borders between turkey and syria and prevent terrorists from crossing the border and coming to europe or other places and to commit terrible attacks. we will work together with our partners in iraq and support all of those who are fighting on the ground.
the aim is to make sure these forces can be supported, helped, by countries that are willing to act militarily to destroy daesh. the meeting of the security council met unanimously friday. after being introduced by france and supported by the united states, they provided a clear basis to act. this is what france is currently doing. our our crap carrier is -- our aircraft carrier is truly an east of the mediterranean. yesterday was the sixth time after the terror attacks [indiscernible] in addition, we have been provided assistance into iraq he fighters in the region of ramadi.
president obama and myself have strengthened our cooperation as early as the night after the attacks. i would like to commend everything that is being done so that intelligence and information available can be used to tackle terrorists and follow their movements so that we prevent from them from doing what they want to do. beyond syria and iraq, what they want is somehow to spread fear everywhere so that we doubt, so that we make decisions which are exactly contrary to what we want in terms of freedom and rights. but we will not give in. that being said, we have to
defend ourselves and use intelligence. diplomatically, we are working on political transition in syria. we are in the process and i commend the work done by the ministers to agree to a timeline that will enable a cease-fire as quickly as possible and to open up the process that will lead to assad's departure. we cannot imagine the syrians gathering around the leader who is responsible for 300,000 deaths in a few years. a complement of unity is required but that must lead to assad's departure. the syrian crisis is directly relevant to europe. also because there are millions of refugees fleeing the regime's bombs and atrocities.
if we were to bomb them, we would betray what we are. the reason why i reject identifying migration and terror. the same time, we must enforce the borders. today, people are risking their lives to flee when they travel between turkey and greece. turkey, therefore, plays an important role and it is together with turkey that we must find solidarity with refugees so they can stay close to their country of origin and we need to make sure that the
required controls and checks are implemented at the borders. i will be traveling to moscow to meet with vladimir putin and i will tell him that france can work together with russia if russia concentrates its military action ondaesh. action onlitary daesh. if russia fully commits to the political position in syria, this is what we want to do. we want to gather all countries, all those who are willing to find a political solution in syria. we don't want to exclude anyone but we want to make sure that the political solution can eradicate terrorism. lastly, next week, on monday, we will be hosting in paris the
climate conference. i certainly could not imagine that the conference would be taking place against such a background. at the same time, it cannot be a better symbol for response but to hold a conference in paris where the attacks took place, where we took the right measures in terms of security, protections and defending our values. there is no greater symbol than holding this conference on climate in paris with some 150 heads of state and government. never before did france host so many leaders of the international community. they are coming to sort out the climate challenge and to work and find the right agreements so we can limit greenhouse gas
emissions and make sure our children and our grandchildren live better or simply can live. but they are also coming to express their support to freedom, to the fight against extremism. radical islam is becoming dangerous. yes, all of them are coming no matter their background, no matter their religion, their convictions to express the same values and principles with the same words, life. yes, simply life. and the reason why -- and that's the reason why president obama will allow us to succeed.
i commend his recent statements for the past few weeks and moments but i also commend the commitment he has made in the name of the united states and in the name of the world. it was very important that one of the most powerful countries in the world if not the most powerful and therefore with the highest level of emissions. could also be there to face the future like we have been facing history. what we will be doing early next week in paris means that we can continue to live as well as protect our lives and that of all children. france and the united states, given their history, and their
founding values of both our nations, we both have that duty to act as a matter of urgency. urgency against terrorism and at the same time, to prepare for the future. against that background, even though it is a very dire one, i am pleased to be with barack obama to send that message to the entire world, thank you. president obama: we have time for a few questions. >> this is a question for both of you. what is your reaction to turkey shooting down a russian plane today? and as the strong nato into a -- and does this to draw nato into a confrontation with russia? how do you keep this from spiraling out of control? president obama, what does this
mean for the prospect of more military coordination with russia? and president hollande, what are the prospects for closer military coordination with russia, given what happened today? president obama: first of all, we are still getting the details of what happened. i expect to be in communications, potentially directly, with the president in the next several days. turkey, like every country, has a right to defend is territory and its airspace. i think it is very important right now for us to make sure both the russians and the turks are talking to each other. find out exactly what happened, and take measures to discourage any type of escalation. i do think that this points to an ongoing problem with the russian operations.
in the sense that they are operating very closely to a turkish border and they are going after moderate opposition that are supported by not only turkey but a wide range of countries. if russia is directing his energies toward isil, some of those conflicts or potentials for mistakes and escalation are less likely to occur. and because underscores the point of us making sure that we move this political track forward as quickly as possible. like president francois hollande, our view from the start has been that russia is welcome to be part of this broad-based coalition that we have set up. there has never been a point in time in which we sat that we do not want russia or other
countries that may have differences with us on a host of other things to avoid working with us against isil. the challenge has been russia's focus on propping up for cheryl assad rather than focusing on isil. a upssadng up a rather than focusing on isil. i had a conversation with president putin in turkey as i indicated to him at the time, that to the extent they make that strategic shift, focus on the vienna process where they had been instructed to bring the parties together, to try to execute a political transition, that all parties would agree to, and retirement this -- and refocus attention on going after isil, then there is enormous capacity for us to cooperate. until that happens, it is very difficult.
it is difficult because it is their priority to attack the moderate opposition that might be future members of an inclusive syrian government. russia is not going to get the support from us or a range of other members of the coalition. i do think that there is the possibility for operations. the sooner we agree to this political process, the less likely you have the kinds of events that took place, apparently, today. president hollande: the event that took place is a serious one and we can only regretted. turkey is currently providing all of the information to nato
so that we can find out what truly happened, and whether turkey's airspace indeed was entered into. we must prevent an escalation in that would be extremely damaging. the only purpose is to fight against terrorism. this is what we must do, all of us. we, turkey, russia, and what took place like that, means that we must find solutions to the syrian conflict because we can see what the risks are other way. otherwise, we can see what the risks are, the risks of escalation. i therefore will be traveling to russia this week because we have this resolution of the security
council. it does show that we must take action against terrorism. that has been voted unanimously. and the broadest possible coalition. then i will ask president putin, what i have told them a number of times already. to stand strong against isis, against terrorism. those who are threatening us, they are threatening the russians. like france that was targeted over the last few days, we must coordinate ourselves, cooperate. we're all acting against isis and we are part of the political process, one that must lead to this.
and we all know what the outcomes of the solution art moore or not. -- what the parameters of the solution are or are not. the charles de gaulle aircraft carrier is in the southern mediterranean. there are also some russian forces, and are agreed that we must share our intelligence, so we can act in coordination. we must not keep it to ourselves. it is already the case and we will continue to do so. >> mr. president, the americans have some special forces in syria, beyond the words of what is happening. are you going to send some special forces to syria? you going to do some ground intervention there? beyond the emotion that we can
feel here, beyond these beautiful statements, for more than a year we have heard all of you saying that this is necessary in syria. can you in here, in front of us, tell us a specific date for a time to go? president hollande: i will not provide you with a date. because it may be as soon as possible. that is one of the requirements.
but at the same time let me to underline something. there is a new mindset now. the crisis in syria has been ongoing for four years. four years. there are probably more than 300,000 deaths. and this is not just relevant to the countries of the region who are hosting the refugees, it is relevant to the rest of the world now. and those who believe that we could wait some more, and that in any case it is far away, these are lies. we have an influx of refugees that the terrorists, the risk is everywhere. we must therefore act. you also asked me what we were going to do, what more we were going to do.
we will intensify the strikes. we will have more specific targets to make sure that the resources and supplies are cut off. including command centers, the trucks carrying oil, their trading centers where they plan terror attacks. we will continue and we will put our strikes at the heart of the cities where they are. france will not intervene militarily on the ground. it is for the local forces to do so. we have been supporting them for a number of months. we will continue to do so.
we will do the job on the ground after our strikes that will enable to do so. we will take our responsibilities regarding that support absolutely necessary. president obama: i have a couple of broader comments against isil. as was are the indicated, we have taken thousands of strikes, thousands of high school writers, including top commanders and leaders off the battlefield. we have squeezed their supply lines. we have empowered and armed local groups that are pushing against them including most recently providing training and assistance to the iraqi government. as they prepare to retake places like ramadi that have been overrun.
we have seen some success, but the question now is how can we accelerate it? even before the tragedy in paris i had gathered together my national security forces raided had been a year, to review what had worked, what had not. and had put together a plan to accelerate and advance the pressure that we can place on isil. we intend to execute on those plans but we also think as francois said that there may be new openness on the part of other coalition members to help resource and provide additional assistance both to the coalition as a whole and to local forces on the ground. with respect to mr. assad, we have to let the process play itself out. it is our best opportunity. the notion that there would be an immediate date in advance of
us getting a broad agreement on the political process and the details, i think does not make sense. as soon as we have a framework for political transition, potentially a new constitution, elections, i think it is in the context that we can start looking at mr. assad choosing not to run and potentially seeing a new syria emerge. but it will be hard. we should not be under any illusions. syria has broken down. it began to break down the moment that mr. assad started killing indiscriminately his own people.
isil was able to move in in part because of a thorough rejection on the part of many syrians of the assad regime. a power vacuum emerged. it is going to be a difficult, long, methodical process to bring back together various factions within syria to maintain a syrian state and institutions, and to create the kind of stability that allows people to start coming together and rebuilding their lives. but it is possible. and the urgency that we have seen, even before paris out of countries like russia shows that they recognize they cannot be there too long and ultimately win a military battle successfully. olivia knox.
>> thank you. mr. president, can you tell us if the russian plane did reach turkish airspace? and how concerned are you that there would be expanded coalition interest action? when it comes to threatening the corporation, having taken months or weeks ago that they would have prevented the attacks? president obama: we do not have all the information yet. i do not want to comment on the specifics and we will be governed all that information. we expect the turks to provide information. i'm sure the russians will have some information. we will be able to confirm what happened in part through our own intelligence and our own tracking of that area.
as francois indicated, my top priority is going to be to ensure that this does not escalate. and hopefully this is a moment in which all parties can step back and make a determination as to how their interests are best served. the russians had several hundred people of their own killed by isil. of the flow of foreign fighters out of russian areas into syria poses an enormous long-term threat to russian territory. there is a potential convergence of interests between the various parties. it requires us working with him
to make the kind of strategic shift that is necessary, at franklin that i talked about for five years now. it requires recognition that the existing structure cannot gain legitimacy to stop the war. and until you stop the war you will have a vacuum in which these kinds of terrorist organizations can operate more frequently. -- more effectively. let me say one last name, because i tracked the question you posed to president ollanta about what could or could not have been prevented. all of our intelligence personnel, across the united states, across the atlantic worked tirelessly to disrupt plots and prevent terrorist attacks.
the vast majority of their successes in disrupting plots are not advertised. you never hear about them. if it were not for the dedication of those intelligence and law enforcement professionals this would be a much more dangerous world. you have to be careful about speculating what if could have and would have in a situation like this. it is hard. you have eight individuals with light weapons. - that is a hard thing to track. what is true is that we can do a better job coordinating between countries. i have been talking to our european partners for quite some time now about the need for better intelligence sharing, passenger name records, working to ensure when people enter into europe, particularly now, that
the information across various borders is shared on a timely basis and you have biometric information and other technologies. you can make it more accurate. it does not mean it will be 100% full print -- foolproof but will be better on the fronts. one of the challenges has been, frankly, in the past several years that legal concerns about privacy and civil liberties, which are entirely legitimate, i do not think that those can be ignored. that is part of the values that make us who we are, and that we have to adhere to. but i think that this is a reminder that this is a dangerous world. and rooting out small bands of terrorist groups who maintain
good operational security and are using modern technologies in ways that are hard to track about that is a tough job. we are all going to the pool our resources more effectively together than we have in the past. i think when the president goes back to europe his leadership and the leadership of other presidents and prime ministers around this issue is going to be as important as anything we do. president hollande: allowing to go back to what the issue truly is. -- to what daesh
truly is. it is an organization, a terrorist group and a territory in iraq in syria, killing, and they want to enforce rules that dishonor humanity. this is what they are doing there. this is what they are trying to do in other countries everywhere. and then we have to deal with the individuals who are being used in terror attacks. we know the dreadful plan was prepared in syria, and then organized in another country. and there were some a couple's list -- some accomplices in france.
those who committed the act of war. if we want to tackle terrorism, we must act not on this not only to destroy where they are in syria and iraq, but we must also dismantle and destroyed the networks. how can we proceed? first of all, militarily come up our strikes, by taking back to these territories, supporting the troops on the ground. making sure that the to territorial integrity is approved. this is what we can do. and then when it comes to
protective measures to protect our territory and our people, this is what i announced in france, and this is what we have to do to and eradicate these networks and all of these accomplices. some of them just arrived. others have been there for a long time. they are not necessarily identified at this time. it is therefore necessary that we strengthen cooperation in terms of intelligence. the paris attacks generated a lot of emotion, but that is not enough. compassion, solidarity, i take note of it. but we must act, and for a number of days now i have been trying to events all the countries who can act to do so.
i met with david cameron yesterday. he announced that he would take a number of measures to his parliament. that is important. today i am here with barack obama so that we can act with greater intensity and coherence as well. tomorrow i will be meeting german chancellor angela merkel that european countries including germany can face up to the responsibility, in terms of military intelligence and political cooperation and maybe more. i will also travel to moscow, so that russia can take action against isil. and then, i will receive the head of the italian government. i will also have the ability to talk to all the european
leaders, as it will be held on sunday. it is all of that, getting together, and enabling us to coordination, cooperation, and action so that we can act on isil, and the network. it is my strength which will enable us to succeed. data that strength which will enable us to succeed. >> wealth of you have talked about coordination cooperation. does it mean that a single coalition which you mentioned last week is gone? is it conceivable to help the russians and the americans to work together under a single command?
and then you said you could not put a date on his departure. -- and then on bashar assad, you said you could not put a date on his departure. this funding that mean that his departure is not a preamble or prerequisite for the future of syria? president hollande: would regarding the coalition of the international community, i believe that was approved by all of the security council. it enabled us to say that now the entire world is committed to fighting against that. -- fighting against daesh. and then, and this is what i will check when i travel to moscow, we need one single goal, that is, to tackle terrorism and fight against isis militarily. i believe we can have some critical operation and coordination militarily. at the same time we have to be clear what it comes to the
-- clear when it comes to the political solution. brush al-assad cannot be the future of syria. we are already working with all of the countries, even though they do not have the same sense that turkey -- the united states, france, all of those who managed to find this. we must work on this. the transition where the sheer all aside plays no role, he has been the problem, so he cannot be the solution. president obama: we have a coalition. 65 countries who have been active in pushing back against isil for quite some time.
france has been a central part of the coalition. as have european countries, arab countries, countries as far-flung as australia and countries in southeast asia are part of that coalition. russia right now is a coalition of 2. iran and russia supporting bashir al-assad. given russia's military capabilities, and given the influence they have on the assad regime, them cooperating would be enormously helpful in bringing about resolution of the civil war in syria, and allow us all to refocus our attention on isil.
but i think it is important to remember that you have a global coalition organized. russia is the outlier. we hope that they refocus their attention on what is the most substantial threat, and that they serve as a constructive or. -- constructive partner. and if and when they do, it will make it easier for us to go after isil. i think it is important to recognize the kind of airstrikes they are carrying out, just like the reference we are carrying out in the the cells are not sufficient to the work that we do to bolster local fighting forces. cutting off supply lines, financing, oil, reducing the flow of foreign partiers -- fighters, the intelligent
workman is to be done, all of that is something that we are doing now. they can supplement. but that is going to be a process that involves hard, methodical work. it is not going to be something that happens just because suddenly we take a few more airstrikes. and that is the kind of hard work that i know france is prepared to do. united states prepared to do. and perhaps russia will be as well. thank you very much.

When a breakpoint is triggered and there are hibernate entities on stack Intellij Idea seems to be trying to load them completely which result in loading huge amounts of data which effectivly make debugging impossibl.
Is there any way to tell Intellij not to load only members visible in debugger?
Do you see a hang, or may be "Collecting data..." state for the variables? Do you have "heavy" entity classes? What fields do they have?
Seeing a screenshot or better a screencast, showing this problem would help to better understand the issue. Thanks.
Yes, that's was it! Thank you!
