Checkout.com expands to Israel, launches a research and development hub in Tel Aviv
LONDON, UK and TEL AVIV, ISRAEL—NOVEMBER 15, 2022— Checkout.com, the cloud-based payments service provider, today unveils its expansion into Israel and a strengthening of its commitment to the region with the launch of a research and development hub in Tel Aviv, Israel.
The launch of a new office in Israel is a continuation of Checkout.com's international growth, allowing the business to work with new highly-skilled and technical talent pools. Israel boasts a highly educated workforce – with one of the highest number of engineers, scientists and PhD per capita (135 per 10,000)[1]. It also has a thriving startup ecosystem, with 97 tech unicorns founded by Israelis[2], making it an excellent location for Checkout.com's research and development hub.
The move will see Checkout.com hire in the double digits across its product and engineering functions. This is part of its sustained investment in its high-performance culture, to attract and retain the best talent in the market.
"I'm delighted to announce the expansion of Checkout.com to Israel. The talent in the Israeli market represents some of the brightest minds in technology and will allow us at Checkout.com to continue attracting world-class developers and engineers to our business" said Meron Colbeci, Chief Product Officer at Checkout.com. "Our mission, to enable businesses and their communities to thrive in the digital economy, has never been more in focus."
As part of Checkout.com's commitment to the region, Chief Product Officer Meron Colbeci has relocated to Tel Aviv, to establish the hub. The business also announces the appointment of a suite of senior leaders to its Israeli operations, who will work closely with Meron to build Checkout.com's offices in Israel. Ido Lustig joins in a dual role as Vice President of Product for Risk & Identity and General Manager of Israel. Avi Golan joins as Vice President of Engineering and Jonathan Junowicz appointed as Vice President of Digital Marketing.
As part of its multi-product strategy to develop a range of solutions for enterprises designed to enable merchants to thrive in the digital economy, the new office will serve as a hub for the development of several product lines – including its recently announced Fraud Solution 'Fraud Detection Pro'.
"As eCommerce spending is projected to reach $5.5 trillion by the end of 2022, we've seen a sharp increase in online Fraud. Our Israeli operations will serve as a hub for the continued research and development into pioneering new applications of technology to serve our merchants with a robust toolkit to fight online fraud." said Ido Lustig, VP of Product and General Manager of Israel at Checkout.com.
Checkout.com is the global leader in enterprise-class payment processing, with its platform offering a versatile solution for global merchants to manage complex operations. Popular brands such as Sony, Siemens, Pizza Hut and Klarna depend on Checkout.com to power their global payments. This move also underscores Checkout.com's ability to serve Israeli enterprises wishing to conduct cross-border operations and support global expansion.

Love what Deland has done with the downtown wall art. It really put the brakes on the unsightly graffiti in the area. My favorite is the WW II aviation theme.
Not the best photo, but my first photo from an Apalachicola Oyster Tour last year.
A little Calvin and Hobbs on a local bank.
Ori: Hi, and great pic! My sister lived in Deland for a while, now in New Port Richey.
Asbury Park has been fairly rich in street art for some years - there's been a lot to discover since moving here a little over three years ago from NYC.
Not under the Boardwalk, but right next to it.
That looks like a LOT of Hobbes! One of my favorite cartoons.
Not my scooter, but a friend's at Amerivespa.....mural across from our AirBnB.
My husband in front of our new Alamo Drafthouse.
In front of a yoga studio/behind the bookstore in town tonight.
This one is in Lutherstadt-Wittenberg, Germany. I really wished I had 3-D glasses.
It is from a very famous photo of an East German soldier's quick decision to scale the Wall in the first days of construction.
Notice the guy's right hand. That is cool.
This one is deep in Berlin's tourist area. Catching it with no people milling about and favorable sunlight is almost impossible.
Some friends and I here in Phoenix!
Now I'm racking my brain for a suitable mural in San Antonio. Thanks a lot people.
Took two photos today, in the neighboring southern Oregon city of Medford, where a beautiful nature-themed mural was painted some years ago on a freeway underpass. The first in color, the second in black-and-white, for a different look.
The photo doesn't quite do justice to the scope of this mural, or rather, series of linked murals beneath a freeway overpass.
At the moment I took this, a family of geese came waddling by. And if you look closely you'll see that they are walking beneath the section of mural which features a flock of geese flying by!
Great pictures everyone, keep posting for everyone to see and enjoy. I found another wing mural, a glass house art structure, and colorful block wall. Wonder if I can find another local wing mural next weekend.
Here's one from my old stomping ground, back in California... Apologies if the resolution is crap - it's a screen grab from my Instagram feed.
Lovely photos, OrlTee - especially the ones with Wings! I've never seen 'wings murals' in Oregon - does Florida have a monopoly on them?
I've never seen 'wings murals' in Oregon - does Florida have a monopoly on them?
How about Autzen Stadium (home of the Ducks)? All it needs is YOUR scooter.
Not Vespa but still . . . Asbury Park NJ.
The lower shot - of the Vespa beneath the immense Witch - is seriously cool!
Thanks! I feel a bit OCD when I look at it and wish I'd spent time straightening my scooter!
Two more, different shots of the same small mural which was painted, some years ago, in the small southern Oregon town that is my adopted home.
And a view in monochrome/black-and-white, just for fun.
Lots of murals in Lake Placid, FL. This is on the side of Winn-Dixie (the Beef People) grocery store. It used to have cattle noises but not so this year.
Very cool, okcgravity....especially the Tuktuks, they add a certain je-ne-sais-quoi to the whole thing!
With no disrespect to my Harley friends...I've never been to either, but would guess the difference between Amerivespa and the Sturgis Rally to be about 20 IQ points.

It is widely recognized that times of national emergency put legality to its greatest test. In such times we rely on sovereign power to rescue us, to hold the danger at bay. Yet that power can and often does threaten the values of legality itself. Sovereignty, Emergency, Legality examines law's complex relationship to sovereign power and emergency conditions. It puts today's responses to emergency in historical and institutional context, reminding readers of the continuities and discontinuities in the ways emergencies are framed and understood at different times and in different situations.

Chickasaw Civic Theatre presents Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" beginning February 27, 2015
For the first time in more than a decade, Chickasaw Civic Theatre, 801 Iroquois Street, has scheduled the production of one of William Shakespeare's plays.
"Twelfth Night," directed by Bill Watts, will run February 27-28, March 1 and March 6-8; curtain time on Fridays and Saturdays is 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m. Tickets for adults are $15; seniors (60+), students and active military personnel admission is $12. Only cash and local checks are accepted at the box office. Call 457-8887 or go to http://www.cctshows.com for reservations and to pay by credit card.
Twelfth Night, one of the Bard's most beloved comedies, tells of twins Viola and Sebastian who are shipwrecked and washed ashore on the island of Illyria. With mistaken identities, criss-crossed romances and farcical servants, the story is a charming romp, according to the theatre's description. It features Renaissance music by the Phoenix Quartet and costumes, song and dance from the glorious Elizabethan Age.
The unforgettable characters and the performers who bring them to life on the CCT stage include the drunken merrymaker Sir Toby Belch (Rick Miller), the sober killjoy Malvolio (John Campbell), the foppishly fatuous Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Timothy Guy), the wise fool Feste (Christopher Spencer), the foolishly lovesick Duke Orsino (Joe Fuselli), the impetuously infatuated Countess Olivia (Lesley Roberts), the patiently loving Viola (Emily Ericson) and the scheming Maria (E.A. Keeble.)
Others in the cast are Michael Green as Antonio; Joe Tramula, who has a dual role as the sea captain and the priest; and the female dancers and attendants on Lady Olivia, Abigail Baker, Candace Byrd and Cheryl Raley. All are carried along in a frenzied plot of disguise, deception and mistaken identity to a final fantastical resolution. See the above website for more details.

Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act Signed Into Law
WASHINGTON, DC – Energy and Commerce Committee Republican Leader Greg Walden (R-OR) made the following statement on the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act (PAHPA) becoming law today.
"I applaud President Trump for signing this common sense, sorely needed legislation into law, and my colleagues Reps. Susan Brooks and Anna Eshoo for spearheading this issue through the Energy and Commerce Committee and through the House. The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act (PAHPA) represents a longstanding bipartisan commitment to strengthening our national security. While this is long overdue, I am glad that our nation's public health preparedness and response programs are now reauthorized and extended to give our federal, state, and local officials the tools they need to respond quickly and effectively to ongoing threats of all kinds. " said Walden.
In January, the House passed H.R. 269, the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act of 2019, authored by Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN), by a vote of 401-17. In May, the Senate passed its own version, S. 1379, by voice vote and the House sent this legislation to the President's desk earlier this month.
In September 2018, the House passed H.R. 6378, the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act of 2018, also authored by Reps. Brooks and Eshoo, which was not considered by the Senate before the end of the 115th Congress.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT IF I ATTEND A WEEKEND SERVICE?
When you arrive, you will be greeted with a smile. MWC is a welcoming community. After the first worship song, people are invited to greet each other. During worship people may raise their hands, close their eyes or stand. Others choose to sit quietly. The goal of our worship is to provide an opportunity for you to connect with God. After worship, the Pastor shares a biblically based message with practical tips for growing in relationship with others and God.
MWC is involved in our community. We teach that each member should be good citizens, vote, and make a difference in their neighborhood and city. We love Wichita and want to see our city thrive. Throughout the year, we provide opportunities for the people of MWC to serve Wichita in a variety of ways.
IS MWC AFFILIATED WITH ANY DENOMINATION?
Yes, MWC is a church in good standing with the Assemblies of God, Springfield, Missouri. The lead pastor is ordained by the Assemblies of God. The church also participates in activities and supports the Kansas District of the Assemblies of God.

West Plains, Ozark lose Pink & White title games
For the News-Leader
Two out-of-state girls basketball programs proved their top seedings and prevailed in championship games on Monday in the annual Pink & White Classic.
First, Fort Smith Northside (Ark.) held off West Plains 55-53 for the Lady Bears' second-consecutive title and fifth in the tournament since 2013. Then, Classen SAS (Okla.) broke out to a 30-9 lead early in the second quarter and cruised past Ozark 70-47 for the title in the White Division.
Classen led 39-17 at halftime and maintained a big advantage through the second half thanks to a potent inside-outside mix of fast-breaks, putbacks and 3-point shots. Darianna Littlepage-Buggs led the fast and physical Classen attack with 21 points. Senior guard Maddie Braden led second-seeded Ozark with 16 points.
In their final, the second-seeded Zizzers fell behind and then reeled Northside back in several times before falling for the first time in 11 games this season.
"I think we put our whole hearts into it. They are very good," said junior guard MacKenzie Brunson, who led West Plains with 20 points. "Their height really helped. They are physical and they can make shots."
West Plains hung around to trail only 26-22 at halftime, despite a flurry of turnovers and easy inside baskets at the O'Reilly Family Event Center.
The Zizzers trailed by 14 points midway through the third quarter and stormed back to cut it to one at 44-43 with 6:40 left in the game on a twisting shot and free throw by Brunson.
But, 6-foot-3 guard Jersey Wolfenbarger swished a 14-foot jumper and made a pair of free throws for a 48-43 lead as Northside patiently passed the ball and worked the clock in the final minutes.
In the end, Wolfenbarger proved too much. She scored 26 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as Northside boosted its record to 10-3.
She made two foul shots with 6.2 seconds left for an insurmountable 55-50 lead moments after Ashton Judd had driven for a layup and West Plains then had quickly fouled.
The Zizzers scored on a 3-point shot at the final buzzer.
"I said to her, 'go get the ball,'" Northside coach Rickey Smith about Wolfenbarger. "We ran the offense to get her touches on every possession."
That was necessary because Northside was surprised when its second-best player, 6-2 forward Tracey Bershers, was unable to play after experiencing back spasms in warmups.
Yani Releford stepped up for Northside and scored six quick points with twisting moves under the basket in the first quarter, but she picked up her third foul and sat out the entire second quarter.
"It was a struggle," Smith admitted. "We just had to find a way to win. They are a really good ball club (West Plains)."
Brunson scored 10 of her points in the fourth quarter, including a pair of free throws, a steal and a layup to trim Northside's lead to 51-48 with 2 minutes left.
Judd, a sophomore forward, scored 19 for the Zizzers and Cass Cunningham had eight.
Haitianna Releford finished with eight, including a critical steal and drive for a layup with a minute left in the game.
Second-seeded Ozark (9-3) was seeking its third Pink & White title and first since the 45-year-old girls basketball tournament split into two divisions in 2013.
But, Classen grabbed a 12-5 lead midway through the first quarter and boosted it to 30-9 in the second quarter. "They had great intensity and physicality and we weren't ready for it," said senior guard Madi Braden, who led Ozark with 16 points.
She said the Lady Tigers are proud of winning three games and making the tournament final and will learn a lot from the loss. "The tournament will help us later when games are on the line," Braden said. "It will help us make a run in state, get used to playing physical. This will help us get better."
Anna Hitt scored 11 points and Olivia Hanks eight for Ozark.
Third-place games
Indya Green led five players in double figures with 23 as Kickapoo claimed third place in the White Division with an 81-40 victory over Clever.
Kaylee Corbin added 18, Leah Frederick 17, Rachel Senn 12 and Maddie Barrett 11 for Kickapoo, which rose to 9-3.
Allie Clevenger led Clever with 24 points.
Melbourne, Ark., defeated Republic 45-34 for third place in the Pink Division.
The Lady Tigers cut the lead to 30-22 with two consecutive treys in the second half, but Melbourne then went on a decisive 9-0 run.
Lawrence led Melbourne with 15 points and Jade Kirby led Republic with 10.

Space Committee
For Contractors & Service Providers
FM Staff Blackboard
The Facilities Information Systems (FIS) team creates, collects, analyzes, and maintains data related to UMass Lowell's physical environment, assets, and activities.
The core elements of the FIS include the Space Inventory database, Campus Viewer app, document management, photosphere collection, eBuilder project management information system, and general technology support for the Facilities Management Department.
Space Inventory
The Space Inventory is the university's official database of buildings and interior spaces. Through regular field checks and coordination with project managers, the FIS group maintains floor plans of all UMass Lowell buildings, with room numbers, square footage, space use, and current assigned department. The floor plans feed the database and the two are displayed in the Campus Viewer. From the database, the FIS team also creates reports and analysis for accreditation, National Science Foundation reports, campus planning, indirect costs for research space, utilization, as well as many others.
FIS is the authoritative source for building IDs and room numbers, which are key fields for the space database and are used by other systems and groups across campus, including R25 for the Registrar and Event Services, Information Technology, Security, and Environmental and Emergency Management.
Campus Viewer
The Campus Viewer is a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) that contains UMass Lowell's buildings and grounds, including interior space for each floor of each building. The Campus Viewer is available to faculty and staff on the campus network.
The core layers for the Campus Viewer are interior spaces, color coded by space use (classroom, office, lab, etc.) or school and department. Other layers include current capital projects and life safety equipment. Existing layers are updated, and new layers are added, regularly. All questions or requests should be sent by email to: fis-help@uml.edu.
Photospheres
With the help of Web Services, FIS uses a custom app to collect, manage, and serve 360-degree photospheres of spaces on campus. Access to the photospheres is managed by FIS and can be requested via: fis-help@uml.edu.
The FIS team manages documents for the Facilities Management Department through a Microsoft Sharepoint site. The FIS Records Manager develops, maintains, and assists in the implementation of document management standards; project team coordination; document tagging and organization; and the refinement of contract language and procedures to improve the quality and utility of Facilities records.
A core component of the Facilities document library is the project archives, a searchable database of all project drawings, specifications, manuals, and other closeout material. The Records Manager is actively involved in ongoing projects, meeting with teams to explain the expectations and guidelines for closeout material.
eBuilder
eBuilder is UMass Lowell's Project Management Information System, scheduled for go-live in early November, 2019. eBuilder is used by the Facilities Management Department for communication, coordination, and tracking of project finances, schedules, decision making, and documents. The FIS team includes the eBuilder Admin, who manages eBuilder accounts, develops and maintains processes and forms, leads training, and troubleshoots issues for Facilities eBuilder users. The FIS team assists in eBuilder project set up to ensure project location, square footage, and other key reporting metrics are identified correctly and consistently.
The FIS team handles a variety of smaller technology related items for the Facilities Management Department, including Autodesk licenses, routine plotter maintenance, hiring and supervising interns for data collection, and strategic advice on the use of technology for projects. If you have questions, please contact: fis-help@uml.edu.

A vast majority—90%—of data loss prevention (DLP) violations occur in cloud storage apps, mostly affecting enterprise confidential intellectual property or customer and regulated data.
According to the Summer 2015 Netskope Cloud Report, 17.9% of all files in enterprise-sanctioned cloud apps violate at least one DLP policy, which are internal rules set to govern the usage of personally identifiable information (PII), payment card information (PCI), personal health information (PHI), source code, profanity and confidential or top-secret information.
Of those DLP-violating files, one in five (22.2%) were shared with one or more people outside of the company.
Among the different types of mishandled sensitive content across aggregate Netskope Active Platform customers, more than half are either PII or PCI. The highest incidence of DLP policy violations occurred with PII at 26.8%, while PCI represented the second highest, at 24.3%.
The firm pointed out that the rate of mishandled information is probably actually much higher.
At the same time, the report found that enterprises are beginning to consolidate apps, especially those in the marketing, collaboration and productivity categories. Overall, the average number of cloud apps used by enterprises has declined for the first time, from 511 in the last quarterly report to 483 now.
Unfortunately, those apps are no more secure than they ever have been—there was no corresponding increase in apps being enterprise-ready.
A whopping 89.6% of the apps lack the security, audit and certification, service-level agreement (SLA), legal, and vulnerability capabilities required for safe cloud enablement.

Terrace glazing helps to turn terraces into weatherproof useful surfaces, while maintaining the cleanliness of the terraces and reducing heating costs. It is suitable for expanding private houses, summerhouses and also commercial properties, such as restaurants. Glazed terrace is a great place for relaxing and it enables to start spring earlier and prolong summer until late fall.
The glass selection includes tempered and laminated clear glass or tinted glass. The surface of the aluminium profiles is powder coated according to RAL catalogue. In addition, locking can be added to the systems.
System that is easy to install and each glass pane moves smoothly behind the other. Framed terrace glazing system is resistant to difficult weather conditions, easy to maintain and suitable for almost any type of terrace. Lower steering profile is approximately same size as one terrace board and therefore it can be easily "sank" into the floor.
Product is identical to the balcony glazing system and gives a very beautiful airy result because there are no vertical profiles. The glass panels can be opened against the wall like the pages of a book, and the entire terrace is opened. The lower guide profile can be sunk into the floor so that it will not be above the floor surface.

We've already established that Antique jewellery has to be over 100 years old to be truly considered an antique for evaluation purposes- but where do the terms vintage and retro come into play?
It is quite tricky for the average or inexpert buyer to understand or properly identify these questions. Why? This is because as time inexorably marches on, the dates and allocations of retro, vintage and antique shift. So in 50 years time what was once retro will now be an antique piece. But currently, there is an a fairly standard definition of what constitutes vintage.
Vintage, much like a fine wine is best left to the experts. Trying to self-date and evaluate your vintage, retro or antique pieces can prove to be a very tricky business. So why not leave it to an expert like Gerard McCabe? Here we explain the meaning and definition of vintage, separate to antique and retro jewellery.
If Antique is defined as being over 100 years old and retro roughly dates around 1945-1960, where does that leave vintage in the equation?
Vintage does not fetch as much money as an antique piece could, but that does not make it any less desirable or collectable. It can be such an interesting period, as from the 1940s onward there was a worldwide surge in mass manufacturing and this can be seen to have a direct effect on the types and quality of the jewellery produced at the time.
There are two rough definitions of vintage, and they are used interchangeably upon occasion (somewhat incorrectly). The first being that of anything that is second hand, or used before is regarded as vintage. This is not necessarily accurate.
We prefer to stick to the strictest sense of definition, which is anything that is aged, but not necessarily of antique age. Therefore, vintage can be defined as anything created after 1920, which technically includes Retro jewellery under this aegis.
It's important to note here, the differences between fine jewellery and costume jewellery. Regardless of age or vintage, fine jewellery will generally attract a larger price due to the nature of its makeup. That is, of course, materials such as gold, silver, diamond, real pearls and other precious gemstones. However, even vintage costume jewellery has its own charm and attraction.
Gerard is always on the hunt for beautiful antique, vintage and retro period jewellery. Not only is it highly collectable, it is also valuable for sentimental reasons. It has a wide appeal because of its uniqueness, and is special because no two pieces are alike. We endeavour to ensure that all our antique, retro and vintage and period jewellery that we sell has been maintained to a high standard.
At Gerard McCabe Jewellers, our Adelaide and Melbourne boutiques feature an amazing and carefully curated selection of antique, vintage and retro jewellery.
Gerard himself personally inspects each piece and runs an appraisal on it, to ensure that you are getting the real deal. Gerard has a real passion for antique jewellery and has cultivated a keen eye, meaning that you can find some of the best antique jewellery in Adelaide.

GRAND BLANC (WJRT) (4/15/2019) - He's got a new career, but the same positive attitude.
"I did not plan on retiring; but you know, life throws you pitches and I guess you hit 'em or you miss," Neville laughed. "And so, it's all worked out okay."
Jeff Neville got his realtor's license last summer and joined the Tremaine Real Estate team in Grand Blanc.
On his desk, there are several reminders of his longtime career as a police officer, especially as a lieutenant at Flint's Bishop International Airport.
"I always figured that I had a strength working with people; and if I could work with people, it doesn't matter what field I'm in," he explained.
And he was right. Neville is already having success selling houses.
"When he cut my neck, he didn't neuter me, so what I mean by that is if I see somebody that they need help, I'm gonna help em, okay? I'm just not gonna walk around with a target on my back anymore. That's all," he said.
He said, "It's definitely a target. That's why he chose me that day."
Neville returned to work part time for a few weeks in April 2018. But, he said panic attacks, high blood pressure and PTSD kept him from joining them again full time.
He retired from the airport and law enforcement in February.
"There are times when you have like an accelerated or an intense startle reflex; and so maybe, a loud noise or something off to the side, you know I see a flash and I just you know," he explained.
Plus, Neville has a constant reminder permanently with him -- the scar on his neck from where Amor Ftouhi stabbed him.
"It's something that I never forget because you think about it all the time because it's numb," he said.
The criminal case against his attacker is expected to end this Thursday. A jury convicted Ftouhi last Fall on multiple charges.
In court, Neville will speak to him one last time before Ftouhi learns how long he'll go to prison.
"I don't think anyone has ever thought that we would go through something like this," Neville said. "Thank God it couldn't have turned out any better than it did. You know, all things considered it's as positive as it could be."


Obama issues executive order on Ukraine.
Please note that I will be adding to this post later in the day. I just wanted to get at least this much up right now.
Last night, President Obama issued an executive order barring the entry into the US of any person who is "undermining the democratic process" in Ukraine. He calls the Ukrainian situation a national emergency and writes in the EO that threatening the peace or security of Ukraine is "an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States". The order further seizes any property currently held in the US belonging to these persons.
As is pointed out in the following article, the executive order is worded loosely enough that it may include any critics of the Ukraine coup, including journalists.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine was spurred by U.S. behind-the-scenes actions, says former Ohio congressman and Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Tuesday accused Kucinich of being a pacifist because of his opposition to the Iraq war, and Kucinich countered that war is wrong but not all U.S. military action is so.
O'Reilly then asked how Kucinich would have handled the Ukraine crisis had he been president.
"Bill O'Reilly, if you don't believe in cause and effect, I don't know what I can do for you," Kucinich responded.
He didn't specify what the groups had done, but said the democracy endowment had sponsored 65 programs. He said the United States should stay out of Ukraine's affairs and let its people decide their future without outside interference.
As a result, "you've got neo-Nazis that are in control," Kucinich said. He was referring to a statement by Russia's U.N. ambassador in which he called pro-European Ukrainians "anti-Semites and fascists," a claim disputed by many, including CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
O'Reilly was having none of it.
"From what I'm hearing, you're blaming the USA for subverting Ukraine in the first place, thereby giving Putin a pass to go in and invade," he told Kucinich.
Kucinich wrote an op-ed in December for The Huffington Post as the protests began in Kiev after then-President Viktor Yanukovych failed to sign a trade deal with the European Union. In the piece, Kucinich called the deal a "NATO Trojan horse" that would have forced Ukraine to spend more money on its military and less on social welfare programs.
Crimean parliament and Sevastopol's city council have voted in favor of joining Russia. The decision will only come in force if it is approved by the Crimeans at a referendum which will be held in 10 days.
I think what we are seeing may well be a gladio-type operation that takes us to WW3; at the least, it ushers in a new cold war era. Based on comments I see attached to various articles about Ukraine and Russia in the past several days, I do believe the American public will be just dumb and propagandized enough to actually go along with it. While our leaders haughtily talk about "international law" and the "wrongness" of Russia's actions, as though the US had never done any such things herself, the public appears eager, if the comments are any measure, to wipe any memories of how we became involved in Iraq or Afghanistan from their minds and seem to forget that we are still in those countries. Gone is worry over budget deficits or the amount of money spent on bank bailouts. They don't remember how we recently invaded and ruined Libya and that we still threaten to intervene in Syria. No thought is wasted on the drone bombings in numerous countries that we are not at war with. And although most Americans couldn't have located Ukraine on a map until about a week ago, the public is bellicose about "getting Russia", even if it means giving up their social security and unemployment benefits forever, foregoing any repairs to the infrastructure in this country, and risking our financial collapse; all to support the war machine and fight another war of choice, mislead by false information from the media and the US government. Yes, we are just that stupid. It has been reported the U.S. spent $5 billion to support the protesters who succeeded in removing the pro-Russian president of Ukraine from office. Where do you suppose that money came from? Your tax dollars at work.
On Tuesday, the new government in Ukraine signed a 50-year shale oil deal with Chevron. Another country fucked up for its energy supplies – that didn't take long, did it?
This new Cold War thing may also have some relationship to the Magnitsky Act instituted under Obama a few years ago. I have more to say on this subject and will update this article later in the day.
The executive order issued by Obama a day ago seems to be an extension of the 2012 Magnitsky Act, which was aimed at a few of Russia's oligarchy. It is a peculiar Congressional Act in that it targets only a few wealthy Russians, rather than sanctions on an entire country. This was thought to hinder Russia's trade and banking influence in the US economy without imposing a diplomatic crisis. The Russians responded by creating their own list of Americans who are now refused entry into Russia for human rights violations; notables on the list include John Yoo and David Addington, as well as several assistant US attorneys and some military personnel involved in running Guantanamo Bay. Now why we particularly find Russia's oligarchs a threat, but not our own, is good question. Our oligarchic class is very busy imposing itself globally, interfering in the agriculture, business, and social mores of countries everywhere, Ukraine being but the latest example.
The man behind the Magnitsky Act explains why now is the time to go after the Russian elite's assets.
As much as everyone is very mad at Russia right now for its actions against Ukraine, it still isn't exactly clear what will happen next. Might the United States and Western Europe send troops into battle against Russia? Even if Russia weren't a nuclear power, that seems incredibly dangerous.
Instead, the discussion is moving to economic measures, with the Obama administration saying it is "highly likely" they will use sanctions against Russia.
However, at least one person is arguing that there may be another option, one that could zero in on the interests of the Russian elite more accurately without hurting the Russian public in general: a 2012 human rights law known as the Magnitsky Act.
"This is exactly what the Magnitsky Act was created for," Bill Browder, founder of the investment fund Hermitage Capital Management explained in a phone call from his London base Monday morning. For Browder, his link to the act isn't just political — it's also personal. The man for whom "the Magnitsky Act" is named worked for him.
The story of the Magnitsky Act began in 2008, when Sergei Magnitsky, a Moscow-based lawyer working for the Hermitage Fund, testified in a Russian court that he had uncovered a huge scam by top police officials. According to Magnitsky, the officials had embezzled $230 million in taxes from money that Hermitage Fund companies had paid in 2006, with corrupt police officers using stolen corporate seals and documents seized in a 2007 raid on Hermitage's Moscow offices to set up fake companies under the same names, and then used these fake companies to get a tax rebate.
Instead of a more thorough investigation he apparently hoped for, Magnitsky was himself charged with tax evasion. He was taken to prison for pretrial detention, where he died unexpectedly in 2009. The circumstances of his death remain murky, though officially it was said to be a heart attack.
Browder never accepted that version of events: In his phone call with The Washington Post, he referred to Magnitsky's death as a "murder," perhaps alluding to one report from Russia's Presidential human rights council that said torture contributed to the lawyer's death. Browder, who had been barred from entering Russia himself, began to lobby back in Washington for the introduction of a "black list" of Russian officials involved in the crime. Those on the list would have bank accounts frozen and assets seized.
One must note that all this awful mess in Ukraine is part and parcel of neoliberal privatization and IMF rule, as well as the obvious raison d'etre: getting Ukraine included in the NATO territories.
"The government of Ukraine has the idea of privatization of the energy sector in the country, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has said.
'I'll tell you about the idea of privatization of the energy sector at transparent auctions: Chornomornaftogaz and other companies, which are part of Naftogaz Ukrainy,' he said at a meeting with the business community in Kyiv on Monday.
The old guy,Yanukovych, famously did NOT want the austerity measures and privatization reforms insisted on by the IMF for his country. And we see where it got him.
Paul Craig Roberts has a series of articles on the situation in Ukraine. I will give excerpts from them below; they offer a good summation of recent events, a scathing diatribe against various members of the Obama administration who orchestrated the whole thing, explanations of Russia's moves in Crimea, and the real-life results of this US interference on the Ukrainian people, who now have to accept IMF austerity. I know the excerpts are long, but I think you will find that they bring you up to speed on the events.
Washington's Arrogance, Hubris, and Evil Have Set the Stage for War.
Under Washington's pressure, Ukraine became a separate country retaining the Russian provinces, but Russia retained its Black Sea naval base in Crimea.
The end could be nearer than you think.
[…] Eastern and southern Ukraine are Russian-speaking former Russian territories added to Ukraine in the 1950s by the Communist Party leadership of the Soviet Union. These provinces are agitating to be returned to Mother Russia where they certainly belong. They are determined not to be part of a neo-nazi regime that will be looted by Western bankers and corporations and be forced to host US missile bases that will make western Ukraine a target for nuclear annihilation, like Poland and Czech Republic.
Even Abby Martin and Greenwald, both of whom bring us much light, cannot fully escape Western propaganda.
According to a report in Kommersant-Ukraine, the finance ministry of Washington's stooges in Kiev who are pretending to be a government has prepared an economic austerity plan that will cut Ukrainian pensions from $160 to $80 so that Western bankers who lent money to Ukraine can be repaid at the expense of Ukraine's poor. http://www.kommersant.ua/doc/2424454  It is Greece all over again.
Be aware of propaganda. Inform yourself. Don't be bamboozled by the paranoia offered by our media. Let's not get involved in another rich man's war of choice. Perhaps the PNAC people have decided to take out Russia, China and Iran sooner rather than later; we do not need to be their fodder. What if they gave a war and nobody came?

Is there a point where you decide with your LLC what your goal weight is?
Also what if your goal weight doesn't put you in a helathy BMI will they accept that?
Will my LLC let me progress to management if my BMI is still unhealthy?
My counsellor would, not sure if that is the same for all.
I am not quite there yet but I was told to reassess each week.
My LLC has said to me that I need to think in terms of clothes size rather than goal weight and BMI. Hopefully yours will think like that too.
I think the idea of regular re-assessing is worthwhile though. It maybe that you get down to a 14-16 and then decide that you can go a bit further. After all, it's all about where you can say that you will be happy to be that size forever going forward. You have to be happy at the end.
Hi I know everyone is different but I didn't get to a size 14 until I was 11 and a half stone and I am 5:3. Althogh I think your LLC will let you determine your goal weight.
I know that BMI's are sometimes unrealistic but is it worth going through all of this if you don't get to a healthy BMI ?
Hope you don't think I am being pushy - I just felt that after all of this investment - I might as well get to a bmi of 24 !
I think we have to try and think of ourselves in a holistic way ... BMI is just ONE indicator in the bigger picture.
If ultimately, we are healthier, FEEL good and like how we look, then if our BMI isn't text book, is it such a huge deal?
My LLc says BMI is not a "blunt instrument" ans should not be used as such. It is a subjective guidline, and def not cast in stone!
Hi Chinchilla, I mentioned something about frame size the other day, basically it means the size and structure of your bones in certain terms e.g wrist measurements etc. I was saying there is half and inch difference between me and my sister, I am 5"4. When I weighed 7st9 last year and she weighed a healthy 9-9st3 I always looked bigger as my frame is wider, the width of my ribcage, wrists etc are bigger.
I have inserted a link as I can't really explain what I mean.
BMI does not account for muscle, so a really well toned muscly women of 5"4 who weighs 10.11 could be seen as obese because the bmi does not take into account the weight of the muscle on her body where as a women of 5"4 weighing 10.7 may be seen in the overweight catorgory and not obese. Im not really making sense here sorry.
You're making perfect sense Betty!
my LLC said it was a personal decision when to stop, and the whole point of LL was it didn't give you a goal, you stopped when it felt right. We are in control of this journey.
According to that website I have a large frame. But what does that mean for my weight?
I just tried the website too. I pulled the tape quite tight over my wrist as they are still pretty podgy! I am apparently a large frame, but I have no idea what this means in terms of final weight???
I am going to listen to Betty Boo and carry on till I feel I am "right".
