"We saw him at SEATAC, he broke into tears when he saw his mother.
It was heartbreaking, she cradled his face and wiped his tears.
When he was by the baggage claim, he kept saying how sorry he was to his parents. It was just heart wrenching.
"dear everyone. jay came home safely.
he's actually napping behind me. i've received countless emails concerning this situation.
the honest truth is, even though you all support and love him, the situation doesn't allow it. please respect both his and jyp's decision.
let him have a good rest while he's in the states. and if the circumstances allow for him to return, be supportive then.
again, thank you for the emails but he needs time and so does everyone else. thank you everyone!
I don't know who posted these, but as for the second poster, I'm just the messenger. I don't know how close or what type of relationship that person has with Jay, but at least it's a nice message.
While I can say I have seen first hand yarakashi and okiri fans, I do say I stand with the Japanese fans on this one. As much as yarakashi and okiri fans scare the living daylights out of me, none of the Johnny's boys have ever resigned from status. They may have been on suspension, but for good reason.
I mean we all remember the incident with Yamapi a couple of years ago, when he went to visit Korea with some friends? The yarakashi over there did way more damage to him than any other yarakashi in Japan. So much Yamapi's bag was stolen, his clothes were torn, I mean really, Korean fans are probably the scariest things on earth.
I'm seeing DBSK not breaking up because of the reaction their yarakashi might have. They may not even go back to Korea if they could help it.
I really hope that netizen's will learn from this, and this is the price these people pay. They pretty much ruined him, in short, and there was no reason for it.
The first poster also included a video she took at SEATAC when she saw Jay leave with his family. Kudos to deedeethao.

Beijing 2022 Olympic logos are a calligraphic delight
By Dom Carter 2017-12-18T17:15:27.351Z
The Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games emblems are packed with subtle symbols.
While most of us are winding down for the year and looking forward to what 2018 has in store, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics organising committee is planning even further ahead with the launch of the official logo designs for the games.
As the name suggests, Beijing 2022 is due to take place in five year's time. The official emblems for the Winter Olympic Games and Winter Paralympic Games were announced on Friday in a special ceremony at the Chinese capital's National Aquatics Centre.
The pair of logos were designed by artist Lin Cunzhen, and blend together aesthetic elements from both traditional and contemporary Chinese culture. Each emblem aims to embody the "passion and vitality of winter sports" according to the official Olympics site.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics logo as seen on the Olympics website
Western readers might not be able to immediately understand all the elements of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games emblem (above) seeing as it's based on the Chinese character for winter: 冬. But once you know the shape of the character, it's clear to see the stylistic similarities.
On top of this, the Winter Olympics emblem is designed to resemble a skater at the top and a skier at the bottom, with the host country's mountains running between them.
Colour in branding is of course a powerful tool, and here colour also plays an important part in the logo, with blue representing dreams and the wintery weather, while red and yellow mirrors the colours of China's national flag as well as standing for youth, passion and vitality.

Meanwhile, the Winter Paralympics logo, named Flying High, takes its inspiration from the Chinese 'fly' character, which looks like this: 飞. The design is said to conjure up "the image of a wheelchair athlete surging towards the finish line and victory."
Cunzhen, whose Beijing 2022 logo designs were chosen from a batch of 4,506 submissions from around the world, previously co-designed the emblem for the Summer Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing in 2014.
"The two Beijing 2022 emblems vividly illustrate the vitality and passion of winter sports, the resilience of the participating athletes and the spirit and beauty of contemporary China," says the president of the Beijing 2022 organising committee, Cai Qi. "They also express the wishes and hopes of 1.3 billion Chinese people that Beijing 2022 is a success."

Keeping India secure
mediabest 04/01/2019	Indiakeepingsecure
Ahead of the Indian election, which gets under way on 11 April, the main political parties are arguing over who has tackled national security more effectively.
The opposition Congress party – which held power from 2004 until 2014 – says that terror incidents have risen by 260% and infiltration by militants across the border has doubled under the current BJP government.
The Congress also says that almost four times more militants were killed under its rule than during the current administration.
There has been an armed insurgency by militants against Indian forces in Kashmir since the late 1980s.
Both India and Pakistan claim all of Muslim-majority Kashmir but control only parts of it.
Tensions between the two nations escalated in February after India carried out air strikes against what it said was a militant camp based in Pakistan and the latter retaliated with air raids.
Indian government data shows terror-related incidents in Indian-administered Kashmir were in decline from the early 2000s until 2013 but have been on the rise in recent years.
The Indian government's current legal definition of terrorism is: acts with the intent or likelihood to threaten the unity, integrity, security or sovereignty of India or with the intent or likelihood of striking terror in people.
According to the Indian Home Ministry, there were 170 such incidents in 2013 in Indian-administered Kashmir, compared with 614 in 2018 – an increase of 260%.
This matches the figure tweeted by the opposition Congress party.
Number of terror incidents in Indian-administered Kashmir
However, if you take a broader look across both the current BJP administration and the previous Congress-led government, you find a different story.
The levels of militant activity over the two periods are very similar.
Between 2009 and 2013, under the Congress-led government, there were a total of 1,717 incidents.
From 2014 to 2018, under the BJP, there were 1,708.
Data for the year 2018-19 has not yet been released.
What about the Congress claim that 4,239 militants had been killed by India's security forces under its rule compared with 876 under the current BJP government?
It looks like Congress may be comparing its two terms (2004-14) with just the current BJP administration (2014 onwards).
Fatalities in Indian-administered Kashmir
The data it used matches figures from the South Asian Terrorism Portal (SATP), an independent non-governmental group that compiles figures both from government sources and media reports.
The Congress claim does not make it clear that it has added up fatalities over two Congress terms.
And if you compare official government data for militant deaths during the current BJP administration with that of the previous Congress government (2009-13), 128 more militants actually died during the BJP years.
The Congress opposition also says that infiltration attempts have doubled under the BJP government.
But, as with its other claims, the party does not specify whether this refers just to the Kashmir region, which is seen as the biggest national security issue.
Border infiltration reported in Indian-administered Kashmir
India accuses individuals belonging to militant groups of trying to enter Indian-administered Kashmir.
Official records show 1,762 such attempts were made between 2009 and 2013, when the Congress was in power.
And the period from 2014 to 2018, under the current BJP government, saw 1,456 attempts made.
Since 2016, infiltrations have been on the rise, although many more attempts have also been foiled.
What about elsewhere in India?
The north-eastern region has seen ethnic and separatist conflicts for decades, involving a variety of groups fighting for local autonomy or complete independence.
But, except for a spike in 2012, there has been a decline in reports of violent incidents – and a sharp fall in civilian and security personnel deaths since 2015, according to official data.
"The year 2017 witnessed the lowest number of insurgency incidents since 1997" in this region, according to the Home Ministry.
Elsewhere, Maoist rebels, who have been active in several eastern and central states, say they have been fighting for communist rule and greater rights for tribal people and the rural poor.
The BJP says this left-wing insurgency has also declined in recent years, claiming that 3,380 Maoists surrendered between 2014 and 2017 – a figure also mentioned by Mr Modi in an interview last year.
And the South Asian Terrorism Portal gives this figure as more than 4,000 – based on both official data and local media reports.
But there have been concerns voiced about whether these figures include people who are not really combatants.
Incidents related to left-wing violence have also been declining since 2014 – but the Home Ministry itself says this trend began in 2011, when the Congress was in power.

Michael Carrel - Nationwide Insurance
CIO for Enterprise Applications at Nationwide Insurance Michael Carrel covers rolling out agile enterprise-wide at scale, becoming comfortable with failure, and the ins and outs of building a culture of visual management, accountability, and innovation at this financial services giant.
Bob Payne: [00:00:21] I'm here with Michael Carrel from Nationwide. So Michael we've worked together years ago. What are you what are you doing now at Nationwide?
Michael Carrel: [00:00:31] Thanks. Yeah I'm the CIO for enterprise applications at Nationwide. So what I have a responsibility for is all plan build and run for technology solutions supporting our staff functions within Nationwide's marketing, legal, human resources, investments, finance and actually I.T. itself.
Bob Payne: [00:00:48] Wow, so that's that's great. So that that is has expanded since we had worked together.
Michael Carrel: [00:00:53] Lots of stuff.
Bob Payne: [00:00:55] Yeah absolutely. So what trends are you seeing in the Insurance sector right now. What are the drivers that that are driving innovation, driving your use of agile, driving the business, you know.
Michael Carrel: [00:01:11] Yeah. So a couple of things on the short term basis a lot of the trends that we're dealing with aren't different at Nationwide compared to other insurers, specifically you know on our property and casualty side we have lost trends and a rise in the industry due to distracted driving. We have, you know, there's lot of technology in cars these days and so when cars are in accidents our last costs go up as those accidents you know cost more to repair vehicles within our financial services industry. We have a lot of the Department of Labor is creating lots of changes within the financial services industry, especially the products that we sell: new life products. We have annuities and retirement plans.
Michael Carrell: [00:01:53] So the deal well into the regulatory environment is changing a lot. And in some cases you can look at that as an obstacle or as an opportunity. And so related to innovation there's certainly an opportunity there, as with the other things that I mentioned in terms of ways to help prevent distracted driving in particular, technology that we could use to help make our make it safe for our customers. Longer term trends are there as well. Especially in terms of in the in the auto insurance industry with autonomous vehicles, there's a lot there will be a lot of change in revenue within our industry over time as you look at driverless cars are driving increased you know, lower claims frequency which is going to drive down revenue within the industry. So, where are we going to look at revenue sources of the future? You know so innovation plays a huge role in not only how do we create competitive advantage out of the short term challenges we have but longer term than Nationwide how do we continue to fulfill additional revenue sources for Nationwide given the you know the contraction of some of our expectations that industry especially the auto industry going forward.
Bob Payne: [00:03:03] Yes so certainly those are a lot of the some challenges but also opportunities that are presenting themselves. How do you strike that balance between you know this trend is really challenging our bottom line or this presents a new opportunity because there's only so much time you have to sell new products.
Michael Carrel: [00:03:28] That's a great question. And you know what we focus on are really our customer journeys and where we want to differentiate ourselves.
[00:03:34] And that really helps us focus on the innovations that are that are important to Nationwide and specifically in areas such as such as strategic partnerships and ventures. Those are types of things that we're looking at to realize that innovation that we have with the Nationwide doesn't have to only just come from you with them. How can we partner with others inside and outside of Nationwide to be able to drive innovation learn from others with strategic partnerships and ventures opportunities. A lot of companies are. Nationwide is also one of them. In fact recently announced 100 billion dollar or 100 million dollar investment in that area. So we're taking it very seriously and to make sure that we deliver a great experience for our customers. And so we prioritize our investments based upon customer experiences that we want to differentiate ourselves within Nationwide and what we can bring to bear for our customers you go through that you know a lot of it too is that the technology capabilities that we have internally and growing from what we have today and then adding and the new capabilities that we're developing to make sure that we can deliver on those those experiences. And we're looking at it heavily all customer research and focus right. Because a lot of times the customer speaks in terms of the value of innovation. So there's a lot of great ideas and so you have to understand though which of those resonate most with our customers. Which of those are kind of on point with our brand and our value proposition to our customers. So making sure that we know what our customers value for for the cost is something that we're always continually looking at.
Bob Payne: [00:05:13] Yeah I mean what are the challenges with an organization that is as diverse as yours. How do you get those different lines of business to understand that the customer only knows one Nationwide sort of the apple model right.
Michael Carrel: [00:05:27] Yeah.
Bob Payne: [00:05:28] It's not just one you know not just this product that they're potentially buying. There are a lot of things
Michael Carrel: [00:05:35] Especially in our industry you're buying experience so it's not just you know we're not creating microwaves we're not creating cars right now we're creating promises to help our customers get back on their feet in difficult times.
Bob Payne: [00:05:46] Yeah and customer service is an important factor. How does how do lean and agile methods play into delivery of those customer experiences for you guys?
Michael Carrel: [00:05:57] Great question. You know a lot of times it's really important that you deliver value to our customers quickly and so agile for us is is key for us. You know DevOps has a lot of a lot of consomme practices around agile that we're adopting but it really is moving with speed and agility in our development lifecycle. But also in our planning as well you know there is a test to learn concepts that we work with a Nationwide to make sure that we explore what that concept could look like, test it with customers we have great user experience team that helps us with research with our customers. We test those concepts in a very iterative fashion and then actually have an agile at scale across nation with combined with dev ops to make sure that we can deliver those capabilities quickly to our customers.
[00:06:47] So it's certainly agile it even an issue I started more as more of an I.T. effort that focused on developing software in a better way. And we have rolled out agile enterprise wide at scale putting that earlier in the pipeline of delivery of capability and working with business partners is an area that we're still growing into a habit a lot in our direct to consumer experiences specially in our and the web in mobile space and then growing that beyond that is a priority for us and things like DevOps and deploying those things out across Nationwide are helping delivery teams at the same time agile planning practices is something that we're we're adopting to be able to kind of do more tests and experimentation and drive value to the consumer more quickly.
Bob Payne: [00:07:37] Yeah I think it's sort of interesting that agile sort of picks up quite often when you know what you're going to build how you used innovation experimentation to sort of drive that funnel to get because ideation is sort of a divergent process right what are all the possible possible things agile works well as a convergent how do we deliver this thing that we've decided to deliver so How are you using experimentation innovation to feed into that delivery funnel?
Michael Carrel: [00:08:12] A great example is this a test and learn concept that we house that we have a team set up that are focused on taking our high value ideas that are based on customer research and data that we've collected on what consumers want and where they may have problems today and then where we defined those customer journeys in points of differentiation as I mentioned earlier with that then a test and learn concept to be able to quickly learn to experiment around ways on delivering on that value proposition for that user experience because it can be delivered in various ways. And so we're just learning through that test and learn concept and then quickly getting that into a build team to get that deployed. Is our model so it's that concept of experimentation with applications even of funding and time and resources around test and learn kind of separate from defined build projects to give you the freedom to not treat to learn experiment without being the confinements of a project with some pre-determined kind of outcome and set of requirements. Because you know the user experiences, customer experiences you learn as you go and you experiment and you test..
Bob Payne: [00:09:21] And fundamentally change the direction you're taking.
Michael Carrel: [00:09:24] Absolutely yeah.
Bob Payne: [00:09:25] Yeah. Yeah. Has it been challenging to sort of inject that level of experimentation in certain areas looking for more of a plan going in than..
Michael Carrel: [00:09:38] I think teams that are typically have we've moved agile wide scale the build processes
Bob Payne: [00:09:46] And have a very mature process
Michael Carrel: [00:09:49] Yeah, And I think the biggest thing is being willing to fail and have ideas fail I think with anything that you're driving innovation you have to be comfortable with with failure and ideas not working and iterating perfecting an idea and so you do sometimes have to get past perspectives around wanting to get it right the first time and get everything perfect before you take a step forward versus intuitively kind of figuring out the kind of what's the best way to deliver on the value that you're looking to create whether that be a product you in the eyes of a consumer or a service experience and really exploring versus using more of a waterfall mindset around requirements and design like getting the perfect design and then implementing it. So getting people comfortable with that learning and and quite frankly some of it. It's how we what we've done to ourselves in terms of how we fund projects so really when you take some of those constraints away and then you eyes open your eyes wide open then and people can see the fact that hey constraints that perhaps drove us towards a certain mindset are now released and it gives you the freedom to work in IT or a fashion to make sure that you can really harness the value with the right the capability to kind of deliver the value that you're looking to deliver.
Bob Payne: [00:11:04] Yeah I think sometimes you have to sort of flip the mindset because insurance is essentially risk management. But the thing that I think a lot of people think when they think about experimentation is it's risky but I actually like to flip that around and say your biggest risk is that you're going all in on a single bet like real risk management is about.
Michael Carrel: [00:11:32] Yeah
Bob Payne: [00:11:33] Iterating ideating validating those ideas with your with your customers is right and you know the people that need to deliver those services.
Michael Carrel: [00:11:43] And at Nationwide are right we talk about being "on your side" and "on your side" as a is a commitment that we made to our customers and it's a lot. And it comes with expectations. So for us you know that you know while you were in the business of managing risk there. There also is a large accountability we have for delivering an on your site experience to our customers.
Michael Carrel: [00:12:05] That is important to us and that gives you get you know to be a little bit more creative with how do you kind of drive that and learn about what does it mean for a customer to be on your side. And when there are a vast amount of products and services and channels where we provide service it is hard and it's difficult requires experimentation. But I think our commitment to our customers is often gives us enough of that energy to kind of overcome the inertia sometimes of the risk element that is kind of the nature of what we do at Nationwide.
Bob Payne: [00:12:42] Yeah. Yeah so that's great because you know you've had a lot of lean agile methods throughout the whole organization. Now it's starting to move into ideation and I know you're also working a lot of dev ops initiatives too. Once you have that idea you can build it iterate on it quickly then how do you how do you get things out to out to those consumers to really close the loop because the million dollar idea is not it has no value if it doesn't actually start to solve customers problems or deliver on that value proposition. How are you guys using DevOps at Nationwide has that been a big initiative.
Michael Carrel: [00:13:28] Yeah it's a huge initiative for us. We're starting a very carefully to make sure that we are getting the model right before we have larger scale adoption. Know we have elements of dev ops across all of Nationwide but what we might consider more of like a gold standard of dev ops kind of fully embracing it. You know it's mindset. It's also automation.
Michael Carrel: [00:13:55] It's even some tooling that we put in place so we have some some model teams that have demonstrated kind of our recommended kind of full integration into dev ops that we have. We've worked through and now we're working on ruling that out across all our teams and many of them are which will have elements of dev ops both the full package which most importantly is the mindset right. It's not it's not just about the tooling. We have lots of tools lots of automation even amongst those tools to make it to make it easier to be able to you know to manage code migrate code build drive builds and do all that through automation. But it really is a mindset a mindset of teams to continue to even evolve our dev ops and perfect it you know with new learnings that come out of foods team so we're right now in the process of rolling that out more broadly across Nationwide through some model teams that have kind of perfected our model.
Bob Payne: [00:14:56] Yeah. And then ultimately how do you the loop with measuring customer behavior those ideas that you had that you narrowed down you built them. Now automated you push the deploy out. But getting that full loop measurement to really really achieve business agility and to your goal of DevOps.
Michael Carrel: [00:15:18] Yeah. And to your point we actually have a lean vision management system that's in place across all of I.T. and Nationwide starting out with local teams all the way up to the A level so I have my visual management system and so tracking key metrics of value there. So how long is it take from a requirement to get to production.
Michael Carrel: [00:15:38] You know how long you know how much of a backlog there are key metrics around velocity and speed that is in our visual management systems that we are you know we track and we are expecting certain lift from as we continue to get even more mature and dev ops as we roll out kind of our model structure across all of our lines and Nationwide development lines. So that's that's something we're very keen on is measuring the Emperor fighting. So where we have it's a learning opportunity to use metrics as you see pockets of matter X that in certain areas where ... in favor ability perhaps even over a norm let's learn from that we are what are they doing so we can continue to kind of learn from each other across the organization. But metrics on speed and agility are working in own management system. So we're also being held accountable for the value that we're looking to create. And quite frankly understanding where we're not meeting those velocity targets those speed targets of a driving value directly out you know getting into production as quickly as we can through through new lean practices and DevOps.
Bob Payne: [00:16:46] Yeah and you know I'm particularly passionate about visual systems so I'm always very very encouraged when I when I came out to visit to see the implementation you guys have. The thing that I think is most interesting and probably most important about the visual management systems that are some examples that I've seen is you have them at all layers.
Bob Payne: [00:17:12] And there are linkages and if something is measured the people that are supposed to change their behavior or maybe not change their behavior but whose work is being driven by those metrics are responsible for the metrics and that that is an area where I think lean organizations and I consider you as one I think are much better than most organizations. Just look at agile as just a delivery model or visual management. That's just for the team. You really have created an umbrella that spans the whole organization.
Michael Carrel: [00:17:57] It's really a mindset that has from all the way from the top down into our local teams and my own visual measurement system as a CIO is visible so people can come in and see my accountability section on my board. Our planning initiatives are our key project to build build metrics and that all of our metrics that through sequenced review cross all the dimensions of our key performance indicators are all in plain sight. People can associates can see those and see what we're talking about as a CEO candidate. So it's not. There's also that transparency their risk associates it's not just what they're they're not just working with the leaders or management system but my team is as well conducting other stand ups. Yeah how often do you do your standup. So we do our standups weekly with within our team and then we do an extra section even once a month on some deep diving into metrics that whose update frequency or more monthly versus versus weekly type checks that we do but we go through quick run checks our build projects our planning initiatives every week and then our accountability sections always looking at Voice of Customer problems sections. You know there are problems that we need to be doing a 3s on across our organization.
Michael Carrel: [00:19:13] And then also kind of keeping track of our releases coming up and the capability maturity within our teams as well.
Bob Payne: [00:19:20] Great. Yeah that's exciting. I know that you quite often do. You're doing a more formal A3 Lean continuous improvement process. Has that really are you getting a lot of things bubbling up from teams in the way that say a Toyota would have a continuous improvement bubbling up from the folks doing the work or is it that innovation.
Michael Carrel: [00:19:51] Theories are happening at all levels. No we don't. I wouldn't say I have a lot of escalated to me where they are blockers. You know we try to empower local seems to be able to drive improvement in their areas but items do that are more you know a systemic type things they do get bubbled up actually through the official management system so through blockers that we have and I actually do Gemba walks of the lean management systems of my direct reports and they do it levels down as well and and sometimes actually to be quite frank I will have a team that will want me to attend one of their gambles to be able to learn about a block or something where they might need my help as a CIO even if it's one of our delivery lines. I've done that on occasion. One of them team going through some agile transformation and really wanted me to kind of see some something that they were working on to be able to help drive that forward. So also a ton of gemba of a line to be able to also have firsthand experience with what they're dealing with perhaps an innovation that they need some support for.
Michael Carrel: [00:20:57] Or it could be a process change or a blocker that they need my help with.
Bob Payne: [00:21:02] And that establishes a lot of trust throughout the organization to really have that level of transparency. What's what do you see coming down the road that's exciting for you for the next five years? I know that's an awfully long ways to look out.
Michael Carrel: [00:21:17] I think with a lot of organizations you know we're focusing on legacy platform modernization so you know Nationwide we'll be celebrating 100 years as a as a company coming up here soon and so we are we have several transformation initiatives going on to really modernize some of our core platforms across our business so there are nimble going into into the future. And so that's a key focus for us. Clearly data analytics expressed in our business. We have done a lot of work there continue to do more extending that into even greater cognitive solutions with AI. So we're definite have a definite focus there is so much opportunity in that space and building that into the fabric of our solutions our mindsets is going to be important as we move forward as well as well as us continue to digitize organization. Their key priority for us. And then you with with all the innovation that we talked about before you know I think I'm excited about you know the businesses that Nationwide will will be in even 10 years from now.
[00:22:25] You know we've been a company who's innovated especially in areas of financial services kind of being a traditional PNC Insure and innovation that got us kind of really defining you know the annuity market a leader you know a company wide or country wide leaders and Pat and in 457 retirement plans we have a company who is a fabric of innovation has spurred new products new businesses for Nationwide.

How could we live all together after events happened? Press release of "Building Bridges, not Walls"
How could we live all together after events happened? Internally displaced children and their peers tried to find their own answers to this question in the camp "Building Bridges, not Walls".
In October 27 - November 3, 2014 in the complex "Sun Valley" vil. Bojani, Chernivtsi region, the camp "Building Bridges, not Walls" was successfully held. It was an intensive course for children, directed for building dialogue and reconciliation.
The project involved 80 teenagers, most of them — internally displaced children from Lugansk, Donetsk region and Crimea, as well as their peers from other regions.
The main aims of the course were: to promote the integration of immigrant adolescents, psychological rehabilitation, creating opportunities for dialogue and joint learning, action in resolving conflicts. The course was organized by the Congress of National Communities of Ukraine in partnership with Kyiv Educational Center "Toler Space".
To participate in the course adolescents had to write an essay or to illustrate statements of Marlene Dietrich, Frederic Nansen, Vladimir Korolenko or Augusto Boal.
The camp participants learned more about successful communication and mediation of conflicts. The unique authorial program allowed children to find their inner resources to overcome problems and to develop the ability of recovering from stressful situations. Every day children had two workshops to choose from: theater, mediation of conflicts, philosophy, art discussions, dance, cuisine, music, art, psychology, sports, blogging, movie club, creating stencils and posters Loesje.
Children with different backgrounds were united into groups according to age, and every day played and socialized together. Due to the Theatre of the Oppressed techniques that have been tested previously in the initiative Theatre for Dialogue, teenagers could understand for themselves the theme of equality, majority and minority in society, discrimination and human rights.
The days of democracy were unique, because the participants on their own experience felt a possibility to choose, they understood that their interests in the camp can be represented by their peer, teenagers realized that they can really influence the camp program, particularly, planning the celebration of Halloween and organizing their free time in Chernivtsi. Each group of children chose the candidate to the Council of Camp.
"The programs of candidates were expectedly serious. Who else today but the young people understand the importance and responsibility of democratic procedures and elections. For example, Ivan Kushpel from Kiyv in the main statement of his program was based on the slogans of French Revolution: "Liberty, equality, brotherhood, sisterhood" and promised to take into account the opinion of everybody. Julia Lagutkina from Lugansk promised an exciting Halloween, Yasya Scholna from Kiyv offered a flashmob in Chernivtsi. Children have organized themselves, making decisions and meeting with their consequences". The pilot program of the course was created by the best experts on civic education for children – Anna Lenchovskaya, Alexander Voitenko, Kira Kreyderman. Psychological training of educators and rehabilitation of children were provided by leading children's therapists Lyudmila Batalina and Irina Ivakina.
Olga Fougelson from St. Petersburg-Toronto developed the Democracy day and elections to the the Council of Camp, Manana Tsintsadze from Tbilisi was a teacher of choreographic art, Hjalmar Jorge Einhorn (La Paz-Hamburg) trained team camp according to the methods of the Theatre of the Oppressed, Daria Strayster from Chisinau was a photographer.
"Many thanks to everybody who helped to organize the camp "Building Bridges, not Walls". I really liked it ... I've got amazing new impressions, bright 7 days passed extremely quickly, but during these days I managed to meet a lot of good people"
"Camp – is a great way to take a break from school and learn something new"
"Camp teaches you to overcome scene fright"
"Camp taught me to help other people" - wrote on her page on the social network 12-year-old Anya Paly.
The course was organized by the Congress of National Communities of Ukraine in partnership with Kyiv Educational Center "Toler Space" and initiative "Theatre for Dialogue".
This pilot project was realized with the support of U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, the Netherlands Embassy in Ukraine and the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress.
This project can be used as a model of complex target program for the integration of children - internally displaced people in the new places of residence.

The Conservatives have an influx of new members – they should be encouraged to become council candidates

The EU referendum saw a high turnout of 72.2 per cent. Many who hadn't voted for years were inspired to do so. But there was also a boost to democratic participation in terms of those who campaigned. A huge number were out canvassing and leafletting who had never been involved in politics before. Many of these people – both Leave and Remain campaigners – have since joined the Conservatives or the Labour Party. Of course the Party leadership elections also spurred people to join – even if this didn't actually result in them getting a vote.
The media has given plenty of coverage to new members in the Labour Party. But there has also been a quiet influx for the Conservatives.
This provides an opportunity for the Conservatives to boost local campaigning. Many of these new members have campaigned hard during the referendum – they will have already overcome those initial inhibitions over manning a street stall or knocking on doors. Naturally their might be some tension between those who were doing so on opposing sides in the referendum but in the Conservative Party there is an overwhelming mood to accept the referendum result and move forward with Brexit.
However, this will not happen automatically. There needs to be a proper effort to make these new recruits welcome and encourage them to get involved. One obvious example is to encourage them to consider standing for election to become a councillor. Some might be willing to stand even if they had little chance of electoral success in their specific area.
But it is also important that capable individuals have a chance in winnable seats. They should not be blocked by idle sitting councillors. One difficulty is that the payment of allowances encourages councillors to cling on. I have argued these should be abolished in order to allow a higher calibre of councillors to come forward with the right motivation. Yet even with this hurdle, councillors who are performing poorly could and should be eased out.
Of course new members who might not wish to be councillors should be advised of other ways they can become involved. For example, they might be willing to put themselves forward as a school governor or to join the board of a housing association.
I would hope that Patrick McLoughlin, the Party Chairman, will write to all the new members urging them to become actively involved. There needs to be a back-up mechanism that enables them to do so even if they live in a constituency where the local association is moribund.
In some areas the increase in Conservative membership has been dramatic. This is fantastic.
Tens of thousands of people are waiting for the call. They must be given every opportunity to champion the Conservative cause in their local communities.

How to Make the Flapped T Sound like an American Native English Speaker
Have you figured out yet that American English is a language full of unusual sounds and spelling? Well, in this English tip, Gabby talks about the Flapped "T", also known as the Flap T. Simply put, this occurs in American English when a "T" falls in a word between two vowels.
A flapped "T" sounds like a "d" in American English. This is why the words "Metal" and "Medal" in English sound the same. You would distinguish the exact word and meaning by the context in which it is used. Gabby uses "pretty", "city", "better", and "thought of" as good examples of the American flapped "T."
If you are serious about learning to speak and understand American English, then this tip is for you. By using the Flapped "T" sound you will demonstrate an understanding of American English that escapes some people. For more tips like this one, visit gonaturalenglish.com and start learning to speak American English the natural way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en0CBn8UQRM
Episode transcript below:
How are you doing today?
Welcome to a Go Natural English episode where we're going to talk about a question from a Go Natural English audience member, Abdelkrim.
Abdelkrim asked, "Can you talk a little bit about the flapped "T"?
Well, this is an excellent question.
Abdelkrim, it sounds like you're studying linguistics.
Maybe you're really interested in pronunciation in the English language and this is a really important point for understanding American English.
So, if you want to talk to Americans, or if you want to sound more like an American English speaker, then this answer is really important.
Now, Abdelkrim asked for a lot of examples and exercises, and I'm going to do my best but remember these English tip videos are really short.
I try to keep them between two and five minutes.
The shorter, the sweeter.
But if you want more examples, more practice, and more support, then you should join the Go Natural English premium course at gonaturalenglish.com.
Now, here are some examples:
We have words that I mentioned before in another video such as "water,"
Another example would be "pretty."
"Isn't it a pretty city"?
Now that's another example – "city."
So, we have the flapped "T" when you have a "T" between two vowels.
So, "Pretty – P-R-E-T-T-Y."
"Y" would be considered a vowel in this case, makes the "T" sound like a "D" – this is what we call the flapped "T" in linguistics or pronunciation.
So, what it means is that the "T" in American English sounds like a "D."
Now, in British English, it's a bit different but as you know, I'm an American English teacher so I can help you out with this flapped "T" sound.
So, it's "pretty."
Now, you may want to say "pretty" and that's OK.
It's not incorrect but that's more of a British accent.
So, if you want to understand and sound more like an American, you should say, "pretty" and you should expect people to say "pretty" and know that that word is spelled with a "T" even though it sounds like a "D."
Same thing for "city."
You might be tempted to say "city" and that's OK but what sounds more natural in American English is "city."
It's not "city."
It's "city."
So, a "D" sound is softer than a "T" sound.
The flapped "T" is soft like a "D."
So, I'm currently in Tokyo and I would say that Tokyo is a pretty city.
Oh, but I have an even better example – ooh "better" – B-E-T-T-E-R.
Not "better"" but "better."
A better example – I just thought of a better example which is actually "thought of."
Now this will blow your mind because when we say words, we have to consider the linking between two words.
We don't just say individual words like "pretty" – "city."

For the first time in their careers, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj joined forces on the house-inspired song, "Swish Swish." Perry co-wrote Minaj's Pinkprint track "Get On Your Knees," which featured Ariana Grande singing the track's chorus.
Over sparse piano, Perry compares herself to a tiger, declaring that one "don't lose no sleep/ don't need opinions/ from a shellfish or a sheep." After claiming herself as a "courtside killer queen," she proceeds to play more into basketball metaphors on the song's chorus. "Swish, swish, bish/ Another one in the basket." Later, Minaj references both her "silly rap beefs" and Perry's "Bon Appetit" collaborators Migos.
Perry and Minaj have yet to confirm if the song is attacking Taylor Swift, who allegedly wrote her single "Bad Blood" about Perry and had a harsh Twitter exchange with Minaj ahead of the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. Prior to the release of "Swish Swish," Perry talked around the feud rumors in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, though she did directly quote a line from "Swish Swish" by saying "don't come for me." Fueling the rumors further, Swift's friend Ruby Rose accused Perry of going "low" with new song.
Perry's new album Witness will be released on June 9th and she will launch a tour in support of the LP in September.

Q: Conditional on Function Evaluation Preempts Promise I have a question similar to this: How do I wait for a promise to finish before returning the variable of a function?
I have a function pass() that does some form validation. As part of this, it will sometimes open a modal that the user has to close before it returns a value, like so:
if ($scope.model.validation == "No") {
  $scope.modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
    animation: true,
    templateUrl: 'pleaseval.html',
    controller: 'PleaseValCtrl',
    size: 'lg'
  }).closed.then(function() {
    return true;
  });
}

Note that it doesn't return true until the modal closes.
However, I have a conditional based on the function's evaluation
if(pass(form))
{
//some code here
}
else{
alert("Please fill out all the required information before hitting 'Next'");
}

Because it waits for a promise (the modal to close) it returns false and fires the alert, without waiting for the modal to close and actually firing true.
How do I structure this code so as to not fire the alert while waiting for the modal to close?
Thank you!
Edit: I should note that I can do this:
pass(form).then(function(result){
if(result)
{

The problem with this is that if arguments are passed to pass() that don't necessitate waiting for the modal, I get an undefined promise.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'then' of undefined

A: Since your edit, it sounds like pass sometimes returns a promise.  FYI, in the future, the full code of pass would be helpful, particularly around what it returns - your posted code actually shows nothing about what pass returns, since the "return true" isn't actually what pass itself is returning.
You need to ensure pass always returns a promise in every code path.  If the modal isn't necessary, and you have a synchronous return value, make pass return Promise.resolve(true); - that is, the value of true, but wrapped as a promise so the return value of pass is always thenable.  That way, the caller of pass doesn't need to know or care whether the operation completed sychronously or asynchronously.

Improving food security for families
February 25, 2015 News, Projects, Uganda newsNatalie Moore
Family sufficiency kits are a key part of the Community Outreach programme. These kits include seeds and other farming materials. In our latest blog post, Hillary gives an account of the impact of this in life in Uganda.
It's break time at Jolly Mercy Learning Centre and a group of pupils has converged on the wire fence, all throwing grass and leaves at a rabbit in the fence. The small animal chews on some compound grass while keeping an eye on the playful kids. Soon the bell to end the break rings and as the kids run back to class, the rabbit too makes a hop and jump into its wooden cabin.
"We strongly believe that a good environment is a right for every child," asserts Dr. James Kimera Ssekiwanuka, Director of CALM Africa. CALM Africa adopted the strategy of using food crops as a means of protecting the environment. This policy was generated out of the need to supply food to disadvantaged families and vulnerable members of community, while protecting the environment.
"We do give emergency food to these families. But in the long run, emergency food is not sustainable and therefore we needed to develop a food security mechanism," explains James. Most of the families that CALM Africa cares for are poverty stricken families, which need constant assistance. "We decided to distribute planting materials for food crops like cassava, yams, sweet potatoes, maize, beans and banana stems. We also encourage backyard farming, where soil is put in sacks or buckets to grow fast maturing foods like vegetables," explains James.
In order to get value from the gardens, CALM Africa works together with government agencies like National Agriculture Advisory Services (NAADS) to provide improved seed varieties that mature faster, resistant to prolonged drought and produce more harvests. With most farming seasons reliant on nature, the farmers need update information on weather patterns to be able to plan on the farming phases.
"Field officers are in constant touch with the people, informing them of weather updates as announced by the government's metrological centre," James adds. In addition they are encouraged to farming programmes on the different radio stations so as to keep aware of better farming techniques.
With all these strategies, community members are still skeptical of using agriculture as a means to fight poverty and create a food security mechanism. "This is because returns from farming, and agriculture in general are realized in long term and not short term gains that most of our people are interested in," James explains. "We therefore had to modify our policy and introduce fruit trees that mature fast".
Fruit trees include mangoes, jack fruit, papaws and oranges. Hybrid varieties of these fruit trees mature fast, meaning in less than 2 years members are selling these fruits, while the crops provide food for the families. The modification phase also introduced mixed farming.
Apart from crops, animal and bird rearing was also introduced. "In animal keeping, we introduced rabbit rearing because rabbits are easy to look after and give birth quickly," he explains. These rabbits produce between 4 to 8 kittens every month. "Each rabbit costs an average of thirty thousand Uganda shillings, so if you sell a hundred rabbits a year, you can easily raise three million; that's fighting poverty," beams James. "We have so far given out over 200 rabbits to the community and others to our pupils to rear at home," he discloses.
In order to set an example, CALM Africa had to get involved in farming as well. "We have about 6 acres of land on which we do agriculture. We plant all these fruit trees, crops and rear the rabbits in the JMLC compound." Even teachers are involved in farming. Most teachers are privileged to be allocated plots of land on which to do their individual farming. They sale the extra harvest to the school and to fellow teachers, earning an extra income. And pupils of JMLC, as part of the co-curricular activities do participate in the farming as well.
Most of the farming as of now is done using manual labor, but James is optimistic that "if we could get a small tractor to help in cultivating and have a permanent farmer manager to look after the farm especially during the holidays, our farm would be a model farming in providing food security to CALM Africa, emergence food to the vulnerable families and planting materials to the community".

Lucy Ellmore (18) from Harrogate joins the Pro-Noctis cycling team and will compete in the National Road Race and Circuit Series in 2022
ŠKODA Driver's Seat Initiative (DSI) Cycling Academy rider developed her cycling skills under the tutelage of Britain's greatest ever Paralympian, Dame Sarah Storey, and received money cannot buy ride experiences
Lucy Ellmore from Harrogate has graduated from the prestigious ŠKODA DSI Cycling Academy and will race for the Pro-Noctis cycling team in 2022.
Under Dame Sarah Storey, Academy Principal and Great Britain's most successful Paralympian, Lucy Ellmore experienced the life of a professional rider that included ride experience at the Women's Tour, Tour of Britain and Tour Series.
Lucy was also educated in the performance, nutrition and media profiles required to be a modern-day pro-cyclist.
Dame Sarah Storey commented on Lucy's success:
I'm proud to see how Lucy has developed during her time with the ŠKODA Cycling Academy. For Lucy to graduate to a new team so quickly is a reflection of the work she has put in and the resource of the programme in supporting her progression. I wish her all the very best of luck for the future and will be monitoring her progress with great interest.
My advice to Lucy has remained consistent throughout the time I have worked with her. Focus on a process driven approach and the things that are within your control. Logical decision making is key and maximising new opportunities will always be important. By creating a plan that is both challenging but achievable she will be able to continue the progress she has made during her time with the ŠKODA Cycling Academy.
Ellmore, who has been riding competitively at Otley Cycling Club since she was 13 years old comments:
I loved every minute of my year with the ŠKODA Cycling Academy and thankful for what I've learnt from Dame Sarah. I'm excited to be working with the Pro-Noctis team who have a major focus on rider well-being and will ultimately help me continue my upward progression.
After completing her A Levels at Rossett School earlier this year Lucy will be taking a year out from her studies to see how far she can progress her cycling dreams. Ellmore continues:
For the next year I'll be juggling work at the local police treatment centre with riding for the Pro-Noctis team. I'm looking at completing an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering or accountancy in the future but want to focus on my cycling first. I particularly enjoy the criterium races in city centres, the big crowds create an amazing atmosphere and a real buzz. Roll on 2022!

Lucy's parents, Linda and Andrew Ellmore, commented:
We're so proud of what Lucy has achieved during her year with the ŠKODA Cycling Academy. We were surprised when she received offers from three different cycling teams but ultimately it is testimony to her hard work and dedication to the sport that she loves. We wish her all the very best of luck and will be supporting her all the way.
The ŠKODA DSI Cycling Academy offers ambitious female cyclists, aged between 17-22, with a route to the elite level of the sport and includes money cannot buy ride experiences. Earlier this year Academy Lucy took part in a ride out with Dame Sarah Storey across stage 5 of the Tour of Britain and completed a recce of the Women's Tour time trial stage in advance of the professionals.
ŠKODA is committed to furthering the opportunities for female riders and will be announcing details in January of how young, female riders can apply to become part of the 2022 Academy intake.
ŠKODA started life as a bicycle company in 1895 and the brand continues to honour its heritage. In tandem with its headline sponsorship of key events in the cycling calendar, ŠKODA is championing gender equality in the professional tour series.

Atonement: A Novel (Paperback)
National Bestseller
Ian McEwan's symphonic novel of love and war, childhood and class, guilt and forgiveness provides all the satisfaction of a brilliant narrative and the provocation we have come to expect from this master of English prose.
On a hot summer day in 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses a moment's flirtation between her older sister, Cecilia, and Robbie Turner, the son of a servant and Cecilia's childhood friend. But Briony' s incomplete grasp of adult motives–together with her precocious literary gifts–brings about a crime that will change all their lives. As it follows that crime's repercussions through the chaos and carnage of World War II and into the close of the twentieth century, Atonement engages the reader on every conceivable level, with an ease and authority that mark it as a genuine masterpiece.
Ian McEwan is the bestselling author of more than ten books, including the novels The Comfort of Strangers and Black Dogs, both shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Amsterdam, winner of the Booker Prize, and The Child in Time, winner of the Whitbread Award, as well as the story collections First Love, Last Rites, winner of the Somerset Maugham Award, and In Between the Sheets. He has also written screenplays, plays, television scripts, a children's book, and the libretto for an oratorio. He lives in London.

Woolpert, J.D. Goodrum Collaborate on $13.5M Design-Build for Lake Wylie Recreation Park
The 32-acre athletic complex, known as Field Day Park at Lake Wylie, held its grand opening recently in Clover, S.C.
CLOVER, S.C. (Nov. 24, 2020) — Just two years after breaking ground, the Lake Wylie recreation park is ready to play ball. York County, S.C., signed Woolpert and J.D. Goodrum to a progressive design-build contract for the 32-acre athletic complex on Crowders Creek in the Paddlers Cove subdivision. The $13.5 million Field Day Park at Lake Wylie celebrated its grand opening Oct. 31.
The park offers a wide range of sports and recreation amenities, including three multipurpose turf fields, three baseball/softball fields, pickleball courts, a building for concessions and restrooms, a community building, walking trails, shelters and a playground.
Woolpert provided park programming and comprehensive design services for the project that included architecture, MEP and civil engineering, and landscape architecture. J.D. Goodrum, which previously collaborated with Woolpert on the Sportsplex at Matthews, N.C., was the general contractor.
Woolpert Project Manager Katie Thayer said the traditional design-bid-build process would have added about a year to the project, due to the extended architecture and engineering selection and design process.
"Both J.D. Goodrum and Woolpert specialize in parks and recreation facilities, and the design-build process is not often applied to athletic complex projects such as this," Thayer said. "But if you have a good partner, this process saves time and money and yields the same exceptional result. It is great to work with a county that trusted our experience and expertise and is willing to invest the time and effort to be part of the process. York County got everything they wanted, saved money and can more quickly begin generating income for the region with leagues and tournaments."
York County Park Superintendent Jason Ratterree said the park will fill a needed niche in the region, offering desired amenities and catering to all age groups.
"The park has the unique distinction of having the first public, free and dedicated pickleball courts in the county. We have six right now with room for expansion," Ratterree said. "Many people have been enjoying the courts, with at least four being used every day."
Ratterree added that the community center is the focal point of the park. It can be rented out for events or meetings, can provide a place to hang out or can host programs like music events, once it is safe to do so.
"As we went through the design process with Woolpert and J.D. Goodrum, we were able to determine how we could achieve the goals we set out for the park—from the physical materials to the specific facilities that would address our community's needs," he said. "This collaborative process provided us with a recreation destination that will benefit people in the region for years to come."
