Which Way Greece?
February 12, 2012 9:36 pm / Leave a Comment / Victor Davis Hanson
NRO's The Corner
One question that rarely arises about Greece is "where did all those hundreds of billions of Euros really go?" I think most visitors could easily answer that they were not all squandered on pensions and inflated government staffs and salaries. The Greece of 1975 was changed into a simulacrum of northern Europe by all sorts of vast public-works projects — new bridges, port facilities, freeways, museums, light rail, the Athens subway and airport, new agricultural projects, as well as hundreds of luxury hotels well outside Athens and thousands of upscale vacation homes dotting the Greek coastline for 1,000 miles. Suddenly, by around 2002, a Mercedes seemed far more common in Athens than in most cities in California, and yachts in the harbors looked about like those in Newport Beach.
Whether due to Hellenic accounting fraud that masked an enormous rip-off, or a cynical German mercantilism that wanted to sell its cars, trucks, and machines to the indigent whose borrowing was to be backed up by EU guarantees — or to both — a tiny country not particularly known for labor productivity, tax compliance, transparency, or a robust private sector for a moment obtained a glimpse of life as it is lived in Northern Europe.
Germany had done something similar with East Germany, but that pull-up was far more honest and not shrouded in EU double-speak. It was also made easier by the commonalities between East and West Germany and the ability of the West to insist the old East would copy its benefactor — something impossible to replicate in Greece given its hallowed and idiosyncratic culture and troubled history with Germany.
There are only three scenarios likely for Greece: (1) In exchange for debt relief, a liberated Greece changes its ways, opens up its economy, redefines labor and capital markets and becomes a sort of Spain (unlikely). (2) It defaults and its drachma-based country reverts to what one remembered in the old days and what one would expect from a top-heavy, unproductive socialist state (somewhat likely). Or (3) it gets some half-relief, but soon reneges on its promised reforms and austerity, and thus like Greek cities in the 2nd Century AD, life goes on as weeds grow among the impressive, but crumblinginfrastructure of the past (very likely).

2014 Economic Development Day at the Capitol
OKLAHOMA CITY (February 12, 2014) – The Oklahoma Professional Economic Development Council (OEDC), a statewide organization of economic developers, met at the state Capitol today to highlight its top legislative issues this year. Those include investment and job creation, education and workforce development training and creating a quality workforce.
The OEDC has a pro-business, pro-jobs agenda to improve Oklahoma's overall business climate, attracting more jobs and investment to the state. OEDC's Economic Development Day at the Capitol featured remarks from Governor Mary Fallin, Sec. of Transportation Gary Ridley, and President Pro-Tempore Brian Bingman. Newly elected Speaker of the House Jeff Hickman has also been invited to participate.
The program also included discussion led by OEDC's lobbyists Jami Longacre and Margaret Erling on the importance of being engaged and actively involved in the promotion of economic development legislation. OEDC members are advocates for a prosperous economy in Oklahoma and strive to be active economic development resources for state elected officials and leaders.
During the program, Oklahoma Senator Rick Brinkley, (R-Owasso) was named 2013 Legislative Advocate of the Year by OEDC. This award, selected annually by the OEDC membership, recognizes one legislator for outstanding support of economic development legislation. Brinkley joins a list going back to 1996 of distinguished past recipients including Senate President Pro-Tem Bingman, Senator Clark Jolley, Representative Skye McNiel, former Speaker of the House Chris Benge, former Senate President Pro-Tempore Glenn Coffee and former Representative Daniel Sullivan.
"Over the course of my career in economic development, I've had the pleasure of working with many state leaders to enhance Oklahoma's economy, including Senator Rick Brinkley, OEDC's 2013 Legislative Advocate of the Year," said Brien Thorstenberg, OEDC Chair and vice president of economic development at the Tulsa Regional Chamber.
"Senator Brinkley has championed reforms that have dramatically changed Oklahoma's business climate, including improvements to the Quality Jobs program. His leadership has contributed to recent success in his district and across Oklahoma." said Brent Kisling, Executive Regional Development Alliance and Legislative Chairman for OEDC.
Following the program, members of OEDC took their 2014 agenda to legislators to discuss the importance of the key economic development bills and the impact those bills have on job growth and business in Oklahoma.
"OEDC is an integral part of the State Chamber's unified voice of business in Oklahoma," said Gwendolyn Caldwell, senior vice president of government affairs at the State Chamber. "Local economic developers are able to educate lawmakers on how policy affects businesses in tangible ways. We have had successful, pro-growth legislation in recent years, but we must keep the momentum going."

Polestar 5 prototype caught for the first time at a secret facility
Stefan Ogbac
Last Updated: Jun 8, 2022, Published On: Jun 8, 2022

We've gotten a glimpse of the Polestar 5 straight from the source but those were merely computer-generated renderings. Spy photographers have caught a prototype of the brand's next flagship undergoing testing at a secret test track in Europe for the first time. Although the background is blurred, we suspect this car was being evaluated in the Hällered Proving Ground, 80 km or 50 miles east of Gothenburg, Sweden, the hometown of Volvo and Polestar.
Like the renderings from earlier this year, this prototype proves the Polestar 5 is essentially the production version of the Precept show car. From the front, you can immediately see the split Thor's Hammer LED headlights peeking out while the lack of a grille means it has the same thin bar filled with equipment for its driver assistance feature. Like the recently revealed Polestar 3 SUV, the door handles are flush with the body and pop up only when the car is unlocked. Like the Precept, the production Polestar 5 ditches the rear window in favor of a rear camera. There's also what appears to be a piece of plastic on the rear end of the car, which could be testing equipment or a retractable rear spoiler
The rest of the car looks just like the Precept. It has a low-slung side profile to give it that coupe-like look while optimizing its aerodynamic performance. In the rear, the Polestar 5 retains the upside-down C-shaped LED taillights that span the width of the vehicle. Other key changes versus the Precept include traditional instead of suicide doors, traditional side mirrors, and a cluster on the windshield housing sensors and cameras for the driver assistance systems. Eventually, the car will gain LiDAR sensors to enable some degree of autonomous driving depending on the regions in which the vehicle is sold.
When it arrives in 2024, the Polestar 5 will be the final vehicle in Polestar's product blitz. It will follow the Polestar 3, which we saw for the first time this week, and the Polestar 4, a compact SUV aimed at the upcoming Porsche Macan EV, Lexus RZ 450e, Genesis Electrified GV70, and Tesla Model Y.
The Polestar 5 will be underpinned by a brand-specific version of Volvo Car Group's second-generation Scalable Product Architecture (SPA2), which will make extensive use of aluminum to cut weight and improve the car's overall rigidity. Polestar will use in-house-developed bonded aluminum, that cuts mass and makes the car more rigid without sacrificing crash safety performance. This means the body and platform will be built together, resulting in less overall weight thanks to a lighter body-in-white.
Powertrain information hasn't been released yet but expect a large battery to be standard on the Polestar 5. It's likely getting the same 800-volt charging architecture coming to the Polestar 3 to enable shorter charging times at public stations. The new P10 electric motor, which uses a two-speed gearbox, could also make its way into the Polestar 5. On its own, the unit can make over 600 hp. When combined with a second electric motor mounted on the front axle, the car could generate upward of 800 hp.
Unlike the Polestar 2, Polestar's upcoming models including the Polestar 5 will be rear-biased thanks to a more powerful rear electric motor. Expect a driving range of at least 300 miles depending on the battery size and power output.

Daney, Arthur Lee
Arthur Lee Daney
Submitted by: Dru Paine
My dad, Arthur Lee Daney, was an original enrollee. He was born in Talihina, Indian Territory in 1904 and died in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1988. His sister, Amy Smith, still lives in Talihina. He left three children: Wanda Doty, Dru Paine, and don Daney. The following story tells much about his life from a small boy on through his later life. Chief Whitehorn threw a fastball Chief Whitehorn, or Arthur Lee Daney, a Choctaw Indian, was a pitcher for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1928.
My dad was a full-blooded Choctaw Indian and didn't speak English very well. My mother was only half-Indian and she didn't want Dad to speak Choctaw to us because she said it would make it hard for us to learn English. She was right. But Dad was a Methodist minister and would preach in his own language. That made him happy. So did the big farm he owned in Oklahoma. The farming he leased out and received crops or cash in payment. But he kept and maintained a great deal of livestock—horses, cattle, turkeys and hogs mainly. There were nine of us children—five boys and four girls. I am now 74. If we boys wanted fun or recreation, we would go fishing or hunting, or maybe we would play the monkey game—swinging from tree to tree to see how far we could go before we touched ground.
In the summer we would go swimming. Saturday and Sunday were always big days. Saturdays we went to town and watched the baseball game—let me tell you old Talihina had one great ball team. Watching those fellows play ball, I would say to myself, "One of these days I'm going to be a ball player." And I started early. One day I was fooling around the house and I came across a brand new pair of Dad's socks. I unraveled one of the socks and had enough string to wind a good tight ball. When Dad found the sock put to this use it wasn't any fun—but I still had the ball. My brother and I wet to Jones Academy in Hartshorne, Oklahoma, and we played baseball there. I was the pitcher and he was the catcher. During the summer, I worked up to the point where I would get $10 to pitch for town teams and Joe would get $5. This worked out fine until one day we played against a team that had a pitcher who had been playing professional ball long enough to know a good many tricks. He used something on the ball. I tried it and it worked for me. The ball got to acting up and Joe finally said, "Lee, you've got to much for me today." We had another catcher on the team and he was put in, but he couldn't catch me either—and the other team couldn't hit my hopping pitches. So, it worked out all right for me.
From Jones Academy I went to Haskell Indian School in Lawrence, Kansas. I wanted to play football because that was when the Haskell Indians were a famous college team. But the coach, Dick Handley, told me, "You're just a bit too small for football and besides, you have a good right arm and we don't want to hurt it. Unless I miss my guess, you are going to be quite a pitcher some day." So I pitched for Haskell and did pretty well and when school was out I would pitch for any team that would let me. I started making money that way. After the 1927 school year, I went to Kansas City-where I had previously done some pitching – and very quickly I was invited to play for a local black team. I got $25 for that game, which was against a Concordia, Kansas team. I won the game and the manager of the team I beat asked me to join his club. I thought it over for a week and accepted.
We had a good season but the team wound up broke. There was one good fan in Concordia, and elderly lady. She said she would pay all our expenses if we would play in the Denver Post Tournament. This tournament drew teams from all over the country and was important not only from a prestige standpoint but also because it paid good prize money. Our sponsor said we could keep any winnings. Naturally, we decided to go. Just then I made another important decision. The year before I met a schoolteacher in Quinton, Oklahoma. Before we left for Denver, I wrote her and told her I now had good prospects and if she would say yes, I was willing to say yes, too.
She came to Concordia and we were married and in the summer of 1978 we celebrated our 50th anniversary in Scottsdale. Anyway, we won this national baseball tournament in Denver and I must admit my pitching had something to do with it. Once evening, while we were in Denver, someone knocked on the door of my hotel room. It was a scout from the Philadelphia Athletics, who was making some strides in the American League that summer. The scout's name was Ira Thomas. He said he had been following me that summer and would I like to come to spring raining with Athletics. I got real smart and asked him how much I would get to sign up. He said, "I thought you would be glad just to get to go." Then he told me that Connie Mack, the Philadelphia manager, had been looking for an Indian pitcher since Chief Bender returned three years before. Of course I knew of Chief Bender—15 years in baseball's big leagues, 208 games won, 112 lost for one of the best percentages ever. He's now in baseball's Hall of Fame. Sure I knew him. Connie Mack was asking me to try and fill his shoes. I said I might not be as good as the Chief, but I would give it a try.
I signed a contract for 1928 and went to Fort Myers, Florida for spring training with the Athletics under Connie Mack. The first day of practice I met Ty Cobb, who was winding up his great career with the Athletics. He was the greatest base stealer of his day and held season and career records until Lou Brock of the St. Louis Cardinals broke both in recent years. He led the American League in batting nine straight years. He was a super player, and I shall never forget him and will always remember that I was a teammate of his in 1928. He called me Chief Coolem Off and continually asked me to tell stories about Indians. That was the year that Connie Mack had the team that he built into World Series contenders the following three years. The Athletics beat the Chicago Cubs 4 games to 1, in 1929; beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4 games to 2, in 1930; and lost to the Cardinals in 1931, 4 games to 3. That year, 1928, Mack had Joe Houser on first base, Mac Bishop on second, Joe Bailey at short Sammy Hale at third, Mule Haas in right filed, Tris Speaker (winding up his career) in center, Bing Miller in left, and Mickey Cochrane catching. On his pitching staff were Lefty Glove, Jack Quinn (one of the greatest spitball pictures), Eddie Rommell, Howard Emke and Ernie Shore.
And then he had that great Indian pitcher who had just come up from college and the bushes to carry on for Chief Bender-Chief Whitehorn, or Arthur Lee Daney. There was another rookie on the squad with me. His name was Jimmy Foxx and before the season was over he had beaten House out at first base. That year, too, Al Simmons replaced Speaker in the outfield and Foxx and Simmons set all kinds of records and near-records the next few years. I did not succeed Chief Bender. It was too big and too fast a jump. Eventually I went to Indianapolis and, for a couple of years, made big headlines in the minors. But the Great Depression set in the following year and baseball, especially in the smaller leagues, was hard hit. was a lot of joy and glory in baseball, and you didn't learn only how to be a good player, I learned a great deal about life from the game.
For instance, when I started out, I was known as a hot head. Whenever something happened that didn't seem just right, I would blow my stack. But it didn't take the umpires long to catch on and after a while, every time I opened my mouth, I was either fined or run out of the ball park. So I toned down. The one thing I will never forget was when I had to quit playing baseball—my only life and occupation up to that time—and to work to earn a living. I had been playing in Carolina League in 1931 and was promised a job in the textile industry in that area after the season. My first paycheck was $11 and the world seemed to stand still. But my wife and I worked things out; I gave it the old baseball try, and we stared to get ahead in the field of business. And through it all I have that great memory of playing with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics in the days of their great glory. And of playing with that teams as Chief Whitehorn.

Whether you want to move your services to the cloud, deploy a new phone system, enable your team to work smarter through software or take on a bigger infrastructure project, we are well placed to help as we have usually done something similar many times before, for businesses like yours.
We talked with many companies during a six month selection process . . . ultimately we liked the flexibility and friendliness of the Blue Saffron approach; they took the time to understand our business and were willing to take on the roll-out and subsequent support.
Businesses start IT projects to increase productivity or to gain a commercial advantage. Your goals are therefore front of mind in the way we design and plan. We first consider in detail how the service will work in your organisation, making sure that the technology will deliver the business goals you had at the start of the project. Then we really focus on delivery.

Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz gave the UFC its most successful show to date at UFC 66.
Their clash for Liddell's light heavyweight title drew more than 1 million pay-per-view buys and over $5 million at the box office.
Liddell controlled the fight most of the way and retained his title with a TKO in Round 3.
In the co-main event, "The Dean of Mean" Keith Jardine beat Forrest Griffin by TKO at the 4:41 mark. Jardine floored Griffin with a combination before pounding his way to victory.
Jason "The Athlete" MacDonald scored the Submission of the Night, defeating Chris Leben with a guillotine choke in Round 1.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski knocked out Marcio Cruz at the 3:15 mark.
TUF 3 winner Michael Bisping kicked off his UFC career with a TKO win over Eric Schafer in 4:24.
Thiago Alves knocked out Tony DeSouza with a knee strike in a preliminary bout.
In other pre-show fights, Christian Wellisch beat Anthony "The Hippo" Perosh by unanimous decision; Yushin Okami made Rory Singer tap out to strikes in Round 3; and Gabriel Gonzaga submitted Carmelo Marrero with an armbar at the 3:22 mark.


The MPQ3410 is a highly efficient, synchronous, fixed frequency, current-mode step-up converter with output to input disconnect, inrush current limiting and internal soft-start. It includes an error amplifier, ramp generator, comparator, NChannel switch and P-Channel synchronous rectified switch (which greatly improves efficiency). The output disconnect feature allows the output to be completely isolated from the input in shutdown mode.
The 550kHz switching frequency allows for smaller external components producing a compact solution for a wide range of load currents. The internal compensation and soft-start minimizes the external component count and limits the inrush current during startup. The MPQ3410 has integrated power MOSFET which can support up to 6V output and typical 1.3A switch current.
The MPQ3410 is offered in a thin SOT23-5 package.


How EANS2018 put ideas, like 'science slams,' and easy-to-navigate event space into action to ensure knowledge was top priority at annual congress.
Those ideas were put into action at last month's EANS2018 conference in Brussels —a key event for the medical community. More than 1,500 neurosurgeons gathered at The European Association of Neurosurgical Societies' "Neurosurgery — Facts, Fiction and Future" event held Oct. 21-25.
AIM Group wanted to ensure participant engagement at EANS2018 and planned 99 scientific sessions (based on 1,100 selected abstracts) over the course of the event. Twenty-three intimate, interactive master classes were held with prominent surgeons, giving small groups the opportunity to interact one-on-one with these experts. A new featured format was "science slams." Young physicians were given short time slots to present their research, which was then evaluated and voted on by attendees.
Because networking is a highlight at medical congresses, EANS2018 proposed programmes for attendees that mixed modern and traditional attractions in Brussels. For example, networking dinners were held at Autoworld Museum Brussels and at Egmont Palace, and the international closing dinner was at Brussels Town Hall.
On the tech front, user-friendly touch screens were just one example of the way technology was woven into EANS2018. These touch screens helped attendees navigate the event space, while scanning stations allowed for evaluation for continuing medical education (CME) credits. Exhibitors could also track the number of visitors and length of visit with beacons and Bluetooth technology, creating a heat map of where attendees gathered (and where they didn't).
Another conference objective was to increase sponsorship, creating partnerships by attracting new — and more — sponsors. Building on work from previous congresses, EANS2018 increased sponsorship and exhibition revenue by 26 percent — and increased the sold exhibit area by 30 percent.
"You build relationships over time, but eventually your contacts change; a new generation is moving in and what excited your previous contact may not speak to your new contact — find out what they are thinking," AIM Group advises planners.


The 8 gauge monofilament wire is used to strengthen our deer fence and to keep the fences from sagging between posts. We recommend installing a run of monofilament wire at the top and bottom of your deer fencing for best results. The monofilament wire should be crimped using our connection sleeves at each corner, end or gate system. Use our round monofilament tighteners and monofilament tightening tool to achieve your desired tension. The monofilament wire is ultra violet (UV) stabilized to prevent breakdown caused by the sun and weather.

John Warden
Born in Niagara Falls, 1939 - Died in Montreal, 2007
DesignerBrand

Born in Niagara Falls, Ontario, John Warden began sewing at the age of 10. His exceptional talent earned him two scholarships, which, along with earnings from a part-time job, enabled him to study at the Parsons School of Design in New York. Journalist and fashion coordinator Iona Monahan, who often travelled to New York, met Warden and encouraged the young designer to return to Canada. He was hired by Montreal manufacturer Auckie Sanft in 1964.
In spring 1965, he launched his first branded collection. The press universally praised his style, easily recognizable by his trademark combination of white and cream and modern, refined lines.
His golden brown double-breasted corduroy coat was selected as the most outstanding garment at the 1965 Canadian Cotton Council fashion awards ceremony.
John Warden's second collection, entitled "Franglais," combined British woollens and bowler hats with French patterned textiles, confirming the designer's status as a rising star.
John Warden was not only talented in fashion design and sketching, he also had strong communication skills and a flair for presentation. His 1965 wedding with his muse, model Lise Gibeau, demonstrated his tremendous event planning talents. He organized the whole thing, ensuring that every detail bore the Warden signature. As a couple, Gibeau and Warden became an inspiration for the yé-yé generation, who was always looking for new role models.
In 1966, John Warden opened his first boutique, located on Crescent Street. Dominique Michel, Denise Filiatrault, Margaret Trudeau, Mariette Lévesque, Andrée Lachapelle, Louise Marleau and other celebrities from the arts and politics wore the designer's creations. His bold young style quickly earned him recognition from both the public and his peers, along with the nickname the "Enfant terrible de la mode."
John Warden was commissioned to design several hostess uniforms for Expo 67, including those for the Canadian Pulp and Paper Pavilion, the Canadian National Railway Pavilion and the Chatelaine House.

Between 1967 and 1968, he hired seventeen seamstresses, two cutters and produced a dozen or so collections. He created branded collections for Le Château and for Madeleine Quevillon's Boutique Elle. His clothes were featured in the front windows of major department stores, in Toronto as well as Montreal. He opened a Bishop Street boutique devoted to menswear in 1968, which closed just a year later. Nonetheless, his successes were the talk of the fashion press, his clientele expanded, and so did his collections for Canadian manufacturers, which covered an increasingly broad range of products, including coats for Hudson Cloak as of 1969 and lounge and sleepwear for Molyclaire as of 1973. In 1976, he designed uniforms for the Montreal Olympic Games with Marielle Fleury, Michel Robichaud and Leo Chevalier. When his former model Ivana Winklmayr married Donald Trump in 1977, he designed the dress she wore at the reception.

In 1980, he opened a store on Crescent Street again. In 1984, John Warden International unveiled its licensing program, which grew to include multiple collections for women, men and children for companies like Algo, Bagatelle, Baron Leather, Beverini, Bozart, Dupont, Croydon, Hanna, Pedigree, and Cordovan; Imperial Optical even sold John Warden frames.
Warden received numerous prestigious awards over the course of his career in Canada. In 1973, he was given the inaugural Melcher Award for best Canadian fashion designer of the year for his contributions to "the tremendous growth and excitement of the Canadian fashion industry." At a 1978 Australian fashion show featuring designers from 18 countries, he tied with Yves Saint Laurent for the elevated title of "Designer of the World." He was named "Canadian Designer of the Year" in 1983 by the American fashion press.
After closing his boutique in 1991, John Warden moved to the island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean. There he launched a new brand, Island to Island, entirely designed and produced in St. Kitts. Doing business in the Caribbean required some adjustments. Workers were unskilled and not used to focusing on competition and speed. At the same time, his Caribbean customers were fashion conscious and ready to pay top dollar to be up to date. John Warden therefore opted to create a contemporary, rather than trendy look.
He was inspired by his new environment, creating patterns that evoked animal shapes and maintaining his passion for shades of white, his signature palette.
He designed only one collection a year, created especially for warmer climates: airy cotton and linen fabrics, clean lines, as always, and affordably priced.
John Warden's clientele came from all around to meet with him in St. Kitts, on Pelican Drive. He enjoyed this unique atmosphere and knew his clients personally. He sold his collections privately, but primarily in luxury stores in Caribbean hotels. He also maintained a loyal clientele in Quebec, where he would often visit family and friends.
In August 2006, several hundred people paid tribute to John Warden at a benefit held at Ogilvy in Montreal. When his health deteriorated, he moved back to Montreal in March 2007, barely a month after presenting his last Island to Island collection. John Warden died June 29, 2007. His archives and numerous articles of clothing are preserved in the McCord Museum.

In tough economic times about the only way I could think of to show my appreciation for vets is to post discounts for vets so they can have a great day.
Links to discounts for veterans.
President Obama speaks from the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego during Veterans Day and calls on all Americans to rededicate themselves to serving our brave men and women in uniform as well as they have served us.
Cheers folks for all the great links. I was truly hoping that you would add what you could to help Vets. My chest swells with pride to think their are such great folks on this site who really care.
Have you ever gone to a Veteran's Day Parade?
Where we live is sort of rural -- but Apache Junction is our mailing address -- and it's pretty much small town -- there's not a lot here -- no malls, no shopping centers and really, there's not even a downtown.
But they do a fine Veteran's Day Parade, and we went years ago with our collapsible chairs, but we never stayed seated for long.
We stood and applauded every unit, every color guard, and the tanks and all those in uniform.
On our walk this morning, my husband mentioned that there were going to be jets doing a fly-by, and we heard them and stopped to watch them, and I cried.
There's something about Veteran's Day, The National Anthem, and seeing our military that makes me cry, and I'm a pacifist anti-war person.
But it's a feeling of pride or something and gratitude.
Sure all the time in my home town.
My favorite picture of all time is two of my uncles by happenstance meeting up in France after the Normandy invasion. I tear up every time I see it thinking of the sacrifices they made to literally save the world from tyranny.
I'm a bit late but my sentiments are the same as they have always been. I thank all the veterans and those who gave their lives, for their help in liberating Europe. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for everything. My father told me that he met some great Americans on the beaches of Normandy during the D-Day invasion, he remembers them fondly.
I don't know how to post pictures, and I clicked the thing to do it, but they don't post.
The pics are on FLIKR and I copied the URL, but they don't post.
I'm really proud of my father and it's too bad.
But he was awarded a Silver Heart and Purple Heart and I wish that you could see his photos in uniform, because I love him and he was my father.
j'avaz, FLIKR photos are troublesome. They have to be either public or converted to a publicly used format such as a .jpg or .ping before they can be shared.
Javaz, there are many on here that do and will help you. I don't either. But, I am proud of your Dad, too. Thank you for trying to share with us.
Happy Veteran's Day to all our servicemen and women retired, on duty, or in our memories.
Thank you, sincerely, for everything you have done and will accomplish. The country is proud of you.
Damn, I'm glad we went with the Eagle as our symbol and not the turkey as Ben Franklin suggested. The eagle looks great in front of the flag and the turkey, cooked and stuffed looks wonderful on the table.
Thank you, KQ, for the post. My Dad was 4F because they wanted the farmers to stay home and produce. He also was a heavy equipment operator and helped build barricades and camps here. All my mother's brothers (5) served and game home. Dad told me he always felt bad that he hadn't gone. But we all service the best we can and he did do his part. In times of war and in peace, it takes a nation with the best in all areas to make it great. The middle class sustains the rich. The rich forget. The poor serve in war. Balance is needed. The poor need help, the middle class need jobs, the rich need to think beyond their gates. Great we were and great we can be. And, Veterans we all are.
Another thing folks can do is support them year round by supporting the kids. I was buying school supplies for kids at Beale AFB when I lived in Rocklin. This is the organization I give to year round.
Thanks for remembering us KQ!
KT, you served, you're here, you're dear! Thank you and all those others here, there, and beyond. A day of thanks for all the years you gave us, my friend.
No thank you Marine. Semper Fi.

The funky logo of a slogan on a yellow background is the first thing that catches one's eyes. But this Instagram page is more than just about giving people a striking visual experience. 'Adivasi Lives Matter' ensures that the experiences of indigenous communities in modern-day India are given the attention and consideration that are not usually afforded by mainstream media.
Scheduled Tribes account for 8.6% of India's population, which is around 104 million people. To put that in perspective, that's the population of Egypt, or the populations of Sri Lanka, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia put together.
The page constantly shares news from these communities stretched across the map, from Andhra Pradesh to Gujarat, the Andaman and Nicobar islands to states in the North-East.There are troubling stories of discrimination – but also those of the individuals who brought an end to it.
#TuesdayThoughts are brought tous by the passionate land rights Adivasi activist Rajkumari Bhuiya from Uttar Pradesh. Read about her struggle and perseverance in this brilliant article by PARI. https://ruralindiaonline.org/articles/i-knew-i-was-going-to-jail-that-day . "I was in jail because I fought for my land, not because I committed a crime. I wasn't afraid of jail then and I'm not afraid now," says Rajkumari Bhuiya. Rajkumari, around 55 years old, is from the Bhuiya Adivasi community in Dhuma village of Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh. In 2015, she spent over four months in jail after participating in protests against the Kanhar irrigation project. Activists and local communities are against the construction of the dam on the Kanhar river in Dudhi block, fearing displacement and pollution of their source of water. . When Mulchand Bhuiya, Rajkumari's husband, who is also a member of the union, heard his wife was in jail, he says he was upset. "I didn't know what to do. My first thought was about my kids – how will we manage? I sold my wheat crop to raise enough money to cover her bail. Otherwise I keep my wheat for our family. My oldest son quit his job to focus on getting her out of jail, another son went to Delhi to work to send money back. We suffered such a loss with her gone." . . . . . #AdivasilivesMatter #AdivasiWomen #AdivasiRights #Landrights #IndigenousWomen #IndigenousRights #ForestRights #AdivasiActivists #WomenRise #HumanRightsDefenders #TuesdayThoughts

" People don't allow Tribal girls to move forward, they think they can't do anything and we can never think beyond reaching a government job. But I want to change this perception and show that a Tribal girl can do whatever she wants to do. " . @badgalrene , 33, a model from Chhattisgarh belongs to the Oraon community of Adivasis. She leaves heads turned whenever she walks past people-whether at a parking lot or a shopping mall. She is taking the internet by storm because of her uncanny resemblance to pop star Rihanna. But Renee, born Renu, to parents from Chhattisgarh, an eastern state with high percentage of Adivasis, wasn't always treated with love and affection. . Once the resemblance to one of the most famous women in the world was noticed, however, things changed. The obsession with the fair or white skin has been going on generations, breaking away from this was a challenge for Renee Kujur. "With such a deep-rooted prejudice in people's mind, it would've been very tough to get work. The Rihanna factor turned out to be a blessing," explained Renee. Renee is an inspiration to millions of girls out there. If you too feel that Renee inspires you, then give us a thumbs up and share this. #AdivasiLivesMatter #RenneKujur #Indigenousrising #AdivasiWomen #Modelling #Fashion #Chattisgarh #Rihanna #BadGalRiRi #FollowFriday

And there are many other uplifting ones celebrating the history, culture, achievements and contributions of indigenous people, not just from India but around the world. With illustrations of traditional tribal attire, photographs of their art, and videos of their music and dance forms, 'Adivasi Lives Matter' goes to great lengths to ensure that every fight, victory, custom and every tradition gets the recognition it deserves.
500 Adivasis gathered in Aarey Colony today to protest against their wrongful proposed eviction and lack of electricity and water supply in Navsacha Pada.   "Will the officials be able to live comfortably with no electricity or water? Can anyone else? Why are we treated differently? Does the Government think of the Adivasis as humans?"  Chanting slogans, playing music and dancing, the Adivasis walked from Aarey Dairy to the Mumbai Veterinary College (wherein Navsacha Pada lies), stating that they are not ready to move from their rightful land and homes.   The march, organised by Adivasi Hakk Sanvardhan Samiti will see it's results in 2 days, which is the time allotted to the Veterinary College officials to provide electricity or water to the padas. If this doesn't happen, there will be a lawsuit filed against them under the SC/ST Atrocities Act.  #AareyUlgulan #AdivasiLivesMatter       #indigenous #adivasiart #india_everyday #adivasi #adivasis #adivasirights #adivasiculture #adivasisamaj #indigenousrights #landrights #forestrights #development #battigul #india

Santhali (Santali), a tribal language primarily spoken in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, received global recognition when it got a Wikipedia edition in its own script last year in August! It's spoken by over 6.4 million people in the states of Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha and Assam.

October is breast cancer awareness month. Tiffany Sisson tells you the stories of local survivors and how you can catch breast cancer before it's too late. Here's a look at Tiffany's special reports from Heartland News at 5 p.m.
It's difficult for some of us to imagine getting sick, and not getting treatment because of no health insurance. That's an obstacle facing a lot of women.
The race to find a cure for breast cancer is at a full sprint. Everyday, researchers are trying new drugs, and new treatments to make the disease a distant memory.
Breast cancer is something women think they know all about: Look for lumps, have mammograms, see our doctors. But, none of that will save you from one silent breast cancer killer.
If you've been through a difficult situation, then you know having someone to fall back on can be a real lifesaver, not just physically, but emotionally as well. That includes surviving a diagnosis of breast cancer.
Early detection saves lives! That's the message being spread by the American Cancer Society. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
In the United States, breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women.
Each year, a small number of men also are diagnosed with or die from breast cancer.
Although the breast cancer diagnosis rate has increased, there has been a steady drop in the overall breast cancer death rate since the early 1990s.
While the incidence rate is lower for African Americans than Whites, the mortality rate is higher. Women of other racial and ethnic groups have lower incidence and mortality rates.
It is estimated that approximately $8.1 billion is spent in the United States each year on treatment of breast cancer.
The National Cancer Institute estimates that, based on current rates, 13.2 percent of women born today will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some time in their lives.

The Lion King is a 1994 American animated epic musical film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation for Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 32nd Disney animated feature film, and the fourth animated film produced during a period known as the Disney Renaissance. The Lion King was directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, produced by Don Hahn, and has a screenplay credited to Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and Linda Woolverton. Its original songs were written by composer Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice, and original scores were written by Hans Zimmer. The film features an ensemble voice cast that includes Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Moira Kelly, Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Rowan Atkinson, Robert Guillaume, Madge Sinclair, Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, and Jim Cummings. The story takes place in a kingdom of lions in Africa and was influenced by William Shakespeare's Hamlet. The Lion King tells the story of Simba, a young lion who is to succeed his father, Mufasa, as King of the Pride Lands; however, after Simba's uncle Scar murders Mufasa, Simba is manipulated into thinking he was responsible and flees into exile. Upon maturation living with two wastrels, Simba is given some valuable perspective from his childhood friend, Nala, and his shaman, Rafiki, before returning to challenge Scar to end his tyranny and take his place in the Circle of Life as the rightful King.
Development of The Lion King began in 1988 during a meeting between Jeffrey Katzenberg, Roy E. Disney, and Peter Schneider while promoting Oliver & Company in Europe. Thomas Disch wrote a film treatment, and Woolverton developed the first scripts while George Scribner was signed on as director, being later joined by Allers. Production began in 1991 concurrently with Pocahontas, which wound up attracting most of Disney's top animators. Some time after the staff traveled to Hell's Gate National Park in Kenya to research on the film's setting and animals, Scribner left production disagreeing with the decision to turn the film into a musical and was replaced by Minkoff. When Hahn joined the project, he was dissatisfied with the script and the story was promptly rewritten. Nearly 20 minutes of animation sequences were produced at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida. Computer animation was also used in several scenes, most notably in the wildebeest stampede sequence.
The Lion King was released on June 15, 1994, to a positive reaction from critics, who praised the film for its music, story, and animation; it finished its theatrical run as the highest-grossing release of 1994 and the second highest-grossing film of all time. The Lion King garnered two Academy Awards for its achievement in music and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. The film has led to many derived works, such as a Broadway adaptation; two direct-to-video follow-ups—the sequel, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998), and the prequel/parallel, The Lion King 1? (2004)—; two television series, Timon and Pumbaa and The Lion Guard; and a 3D re-release, in 2011.
In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". A CGI/live-action remake of the film is scheduled for a July 19, 2019 release in the United States.

Pat Metheny - The Unity Sessions

The Unity Sessions features Grammy Award-winning Unity Group—Metheny with saxophonist Chris Potter, drummer Antonio Sanchez, bassist Ben Williams, and multi-instrumentalist Giulio Carmassi.
In 2013, for the first time since 1980, Metheny recorded with a band that highlighted tenor saxophone. The resulting Unity Band, which went on to win him his 20th Grammy Award, featured Chris Potter on sax and bass clarinet, longtime collaborator Antonio Sanchez on drums, and Ben Williams on bass. Pat then took that same ensemble into new territory with the addition of his Orchestrion and a focus on more through—composed material and christened the ensemble Pat Metheny Unity Group. The Group's first record, Kin (<-- -->), was released by Nonesuch in 2014 and was named the best jazz album of the year in the DownBeat Readers Poll Awards. The Group went on a world tour of more than 150 cities; at the end, they hunkered down in a small Manhattan theater to film new performances of music from the original Unity Band, the expansive Kin (<-- -->), and touchstones from the entirety of Metheny's music catalog. The results were released on DVD last year as The Unity Sessions, and now Nonesuch releases the album of the same name.

Buddhism teaches a rational approach to life
By Arun Ranjit, Gorkhapatra, Oct 28, 2007
Kathmandu, Nepal -- A Zen master once reprimanded a novice for sitting before him statue-like, saying that he had enough stone Buddhas around him in the monastery.
What is important, this parable reminds us, is not a blind imitation of the Buddha?s posture but a conscious following of his path. Buddhist thought is marked by a rich diversity: the core tradition underwent considerable diversification with its spread across the Himalayas.
It entered into dialogue with foreign belief systems and traditions like Confucianism, Taoism and Shintoism; simultaneously, it maintained communication with the parent faith.
While this provides Buddhism with a continuing vitality, it also presents a unique problem: is there a single Buddhist outlook that is held in common by all the different sects or schools of Buddhism?
The essence of Buddhism lies in the Four Noble truths and the Eightfold Path., without the knowledge of which one can hardly claim to be a Buddhist. the Buddha had this to say on life: first, that life is full of suffering ? dukha, second, that the cause of this suffering is craving or attachment; third, that suffering ceases by ending this craving or attachment; and fourth, that the way to this goal lies in the eightfold path.
The steps of this Path can be classified under three divisions: wisdom, ethics and mind training. Right understanding and right aims form into wisdom, right speech, right action and right livelihood are the ethical steps. Right efforts, right mindfulness and right concentration constitute mind training. From mundane wisdom at the beginning of the Path, one reaches transcendental wisdom at the end of it; and so the seeker attains enlightenment, nirvana, the end of suffering.
The conflicting claims of reason and religion can, perhaps, best be reconciled in the Buddhist outlook. Indeed, the Buddha expected his followers to "probe the truth of his teaching".
This non-theistic approach to religion- with its rational approach to life- marked a revolution in Indian thought. The Buddhists approach is an intensely practical one. The Eightfold path lays hard work and austere living. It is not obligatory for everyone to wander in the jungles as an exile form society; the Buddha?s disciples were divided into two classes, the upasakas or lay disciples who practiced his teaching in daily life as householders and the bhikchhus or monks who had renounced the world.
The monks were organized into sangha, or community, and discourses were worded in the language understood by all.
It is interesting to recall in this context that in Europe, at a much later stage in history, the transition form traditional to modern industrialized societies was largely expedited by a process of secularization and acquired a definite shape during the Protestant Reformation, from which emerged the capitalist spirit.
The outlook of people was transformed under the secular spell, providing a new pattern of motivation and a new sense of morality conducive to saving and investment, productivity and utilitarian pursuits. The psychological factors brought forth religious sanction for enterprise. Similarly, the Buddhist approach bears its own socio-economic relevance, particularly for the developing countries.
The under developed regions are underdeveloped in an economic sense; but the shackles of backwardness are perpetuated by the malaise of social inhibitions and regressive attitudes.
Low income, little savings, less investment and inadequate capital formation constitute a vicious circle; with its marked propensity for luxurious living, the rich minority ensures that a large portion of the income generated is dissipated in conspicuous consumption instead of contributions to economic growth.
The eightfold Path is an admirable exercise in self-discipline and austere living. It eschews extravagance, lays stress on one?s own efforts and initiative and seeks to achieve a high standard of morality.
"Monks, work out your own salvation," said the Buddha. Buddhism should not be thought of merely in terms of an institutionalized mode of private salvation.
It has a social dimension: emphasizing cooperation, it utterly rejects domination and exploitation.
There is no reason why the curse of extravagance should not be curbed.
Long-drawn, expensive rituals are a national waste in a society where a majority of the population lives below the poverty line.
Scarce resources must be diverted to the production of basic needs, instead of being frittered away to meet the demands of ostentatious living. A rational outlook and self-discipline are two of the greatest gifts the Buddhist faith has offered to mankind struggling for socio-economic advancement.

The only thing worse than a pandering politician or pundit is an entire pandering network and Fox News fits the bill. Two recent studies prove Panderbear's point.
A recent poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University found that Fox News viewers are less informed than people who do not watch any news. "Because of the controls for partisanship, we know these results are not just driven by Republicans or other groups being more likely to watch Fox News," said Dan Cassino, a professor of political science at Fairleigh Dickinson and an analyst for the PublicMind Poll. "Rather, the results show us that there is something about watching Fox News that leads people to do worse on these questions than those who don't watch any news at all."
Panderbear long ago stopped watching TV news. Studies like these reinforce that decision. One of Panderbear's all time favorite bumper stickers read, "Friends don't let friends watch Fox News."
