Leaving the fold
By Rachelle Unreich
June 24, 2008 — 12.00am
WHEN he was 18, Menachem "Manny" Waks flew to Israel, to enrol in the Israeli army. For some Jewish men his age, this is a rite of passage; for Waks, it was even more poignant, as it marked the moment he left behind his Hasidic Jewish roots to start living his life as a secular Jew.
As soon as the plane took off, Waks locked himself inside its tiny bathroom and began to shave off his long beard. "It was the first time I had ever used a razor, and I didn't know how," he says. "I did it without shaving cream, so I was bleeding everywhere. All I knew was that I wanted to be normal.
Menachem Waks, now a secular Jew: "I'm not saying there is no God; if he's there, I don't want to upset him too much. In difficult times, I kind of say, 'God, if you're out there, help me out a little'." Credit:Simon Schluter
"On the way, we stopped off in Thailand, where I got my first proper haircut. I felt a sense of freedom. It was like, 'Wow, I'm all on my own'."
At Monash University tonight, Waks will introduce Leaving the Fold, a documentary about ultra-Orthodox Jews in Canada, the US and Israel who try to free themselves from their sheltered communities — and often have to go it alone in the process.
Waks does not feature in the film, made by Canadian Eric Scott, but he understands the experience all too well. Until that moment on the plane, he had been largely indistinguishable from his Hasidic peers — on the outside at least. He sported sidelocks and dressed in a traditional wardrobe of dark suits, white shirts, black hats and tzitzit (a ritual vest with fringes). But from the age of 13 — when a Jewish boy has his barmitzvah and is considered a man under traditional law — he had been rebelling against the religious mores of his family.
"Around that time, I broke shabbat for the first time," he says. (On the sabbath, observant Jews are not permitted to drive, work, write, cook or use electricity, among other things.) "Perhaps ordinary teenage rebellion had a lot to do with it, but the most important element was my desire to shake this heavy load off my back."
More transgressions followed, including eating non-kosher food. Waks is still not entirely sure what compelled him to discard all the rules and regulations he'd been raised with, but he says he was a "non-conformist" from an early age.
Although the Chabad community in which he was raised is relatively tolerant in its beliefs, he felt many of the edicts in his house — such as the ban on television and any music that wasn't religious — were too strict.
"I think the first CD I listened to was my Richard Marx," he recalls. "I have fond memories of listening to Roxette in my room, too."
At 18, he made a complete break from his community. He was rejected by his family, and soon he was floundering: since his education at Yeshivah College focused on biblical and religious studies after year 7, he was lacking in some basics.
"As an adult, I realised my English wasn't very good and my maths was non-existent, so I did my VCE at Swinburne, evening sessions. I wrote my first essay at the age of 25 … It was a struggle, and it's still a struggle now.
"Sometimes people from my generation talk about things they grew up on, and I have no idea what they're on about if it's related to television or pop culture. I have a lot of catching up to do. Even my English is self-taught, and since I grew up reading biblical texts, it's not natural for me to pick up a novel. But I love reading news."
Strict laws govern how Orthodox males and females interact — touching is strictly forbidden, and social interaction is restricted — but this was another area in which Waks went his own way. "When I was 15 or 16, I picked up a girl in a club. I was partying a lot, and went to a lot of pubs and nightclubs, getting drunk a lot."
In Israel, Waks met a woman, they married, and now they are expecting their third child. She wasn't born Jewish, but converted — "even though at no stage did I tell her that that was a prerequisite. It was a complete and utter choice on her part, irrespective of our relationship."
These days, she insists on keeping a strictly kosher home, and observes the sabbath, and other religious commandments: "She's religious — certainly more religious than I am," he says.
Although his family showed him the door at various times in his youth, they have since come around. "When I was young, they would say, 'Go find somewhere else to sleep,' and I'd have to go to a friend's place. My parents acknowledged that perhaps wasn't the best way for them to deal with the situation. But I was the oldest male, and I had 15 younger brothers and sisters who looked up to me … I don't hold any grudges against my parents. They thought they were educating and raising me in the best way."
Now, he'll visit his parents on weekends and for the Sabbath, and he's not the only one of his siblings to have turned his back on religion — half a dozen or so have done the same.
When all is said and done, does he believe in God? "I'm probably agnostic. I'm not saying there is no God; if he's there, I don't want to upset him too much. In difficult times, I kind of say, 'God, if you're out there, help me out a little'. But generally, I don't feel that God is a major part of my life."
WAKS MAKES AN IMPRESSION
■Observant readers may recall the name Menachem Waks. Although he is not in Leaving the Fold, he has appeared in a documentary film, Barbara Chobocky's Welcome to the Waks Family. This film, released in 2003, followed the fortunes of Melbourne's Waks clan over five years.
■The project reportedly began when Chobocky bumped into an old school friend, Sheree Waks, and asked: "How's your brother?" The brother in question was Stephen, whom Chobocky recalled as a hippy-surfer law student. But since she'd last seen him, Stephen had become a Lubavitcher Jew, changed his name to Zephaniah, married Haya and had 17 children. Oy vay!
■The Menachem who appears in the film is an Israeli soldier.
Leaving the Fold screens at Monash University, Caulfield campus, at 7.30pm. Discussion session moderated by Jan Epstein. Details:

La compra social, també coneguda com a Social shopping o Shopping 2.0 (en anglès), és una combinació de xarxes socials i compres electròniques (e-commerce). Aquestes webs tracten d'agafar aspectes clau de les xarxes socials (grups, amics, votacions, debats, etc.) per encaminar-los a les compres.

Objectiu
La compra social és utilitzada per les marques i empreses per donar-se a conèixer i fer publicitat segmentada a grups socials amb perfils determinats. D'aquesta forma, augmenta l'efectivitat del boca a boca i les vendes, milloren les relacions amb els clients i és molt més senzill mesurar els resultats i segmentar al públic.

En aquestes webs les comunitats d'usuaris són els que promouen les compres. Per exemple, quan un amic fa una compra, aquesta es notifica a tots els seus contactes. Al provenir d'una font fiable, la notificació es converteix en una recomanació i potser impulsa a la resta d'usuaris a fer una compra similar.

Característiques
L'ús d'Internet per comprar en línia ha crescut en aquests últims anys.

Abans només consistia a penjar imatges i vídeos dels productes amb les seves descripcions. En canvi, hi ha una manca de comentaris o opinions en temps real amb amics, familiars o altres consumidors.

Actualment, les webs han evolucionat a un model on els consumidors són els que participen activament i influeixen en la compra d'un producte.

En les webs de compra social els usuaris recomanen, puntuen, consulten dubtes, llegeixen i escriuen opinions, coneixen gent amb els mateixos gustos i compren productes en xarxes socials. A més, també permeten conversacions en línia.
Tots aquests factors fan que es reflecteixin els gustos personals dels usuaris i de grups d'usuaris amb aficions similars. D'aquesta forma, els visitants descobreixen nous productes, que no haurien trobat per si mateixos, a través d'altres usuaris amb les mateixes aficions.

Model de negoci
Hi ha diverses maneres d'utilitzar les característiques de la compra social.

Creant xarxes socials pròpies
El model de negoci de les empreses no és el mateix. Així mateix, moltes hi poden combinar diverses maneres d'interaccionar amb els clients.

Alguns models són:

Creació de llistes de productes segons la seva temàtica: els usuaris recomanen, opinen o puntuen els productes. Els productes amb més recomanacions, opinions o vots es posicionen a la part superior de la llista mentre que els que no són tan populars descendeixen per la llista.
Creació de llistes per part dels usuaris amb els productes que pensen adquirir o els que els agradaria tenir algun dia.
Model de compra col·lectiva: es basa en l'atractiu de l'oferta. Els consumidors recomanen l'oferta als seus amics a través de les xarxes socials, amb l'objectiu d'aconseguir un gran volum de consumidors i, per tant, més descomptes. Les ofertes només es porten a terme quan s'aconsegueix el volum mínim de clients.
Valoracions de les tendes físiques.
Els usuaris agreguen a altres usuaris amb aficions semblants i gustos similars com amics per recomanar-se i recolzar-se en les compres que volen fer.
Els usuaris es converteixen en persones que marquen tendències. És a dir, cada usuari és valorat pels altres per crear una reputació o credibilitat determinada.

Basant-se en les xarxes socials ja establertes
Algunes tendes en línia utilitzen les xarxes socials ja establertes mitjançant la implementació d'aplicacions com Facebook Connect, que permet als usuaris d'aquella xarxa demanar opinions dels seus amics sobre les compres que volen fer. O a través de l'API de Twitter, que permet als seus usuaris compartir continguts a través de tweets.

Compra social en el futur
Degut a les innovacions tecnològiques la compra social també podrà existir en les tendes físiques. Per exemple, a través dels emprovadors intel·ligents, els quals escanegen les mesures de la persona i ofereixen en una pantalla l'aspecte que tindria la persona vestint aquesta peça, a més de veure una llista d'imatges de celebritats que duguin aquesta mateixa peça. Darrere d'aquest sistema s'utilitza RFID. Una càmera web també projecta la imatge a les xarxes socials de l'usuari perquè els seus contactes puguin opinar en temps real.

L'èxit del model de negoci social encara està per demostrar. Mentre, ja es preparen noves aplicacions de realitat augmentada per a aplicar-les a les compres. Aquest és el cas de Zugara que ha desenvolupat una aplicació que permet als clients emprovar-se roba o altres complements en una botiga virtual i connectar amb Facebook para pujar imatges vestint les peces i comentar-les amb els seus amics.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Bush and his top aides publicly made 935 false statements about the security risk posed by Iraq in the two years following September 11, 2001, according to a study released Tuesday by two nonprofit journalism groups.
But dumb Americans think they told the truth about the September 11th attacks? Which are covered up to this day?
The public is quite pathetic in the face of actual evidence…

US BACKED NEW SYRIAN ARMY SUFFERS CRIPPLING DEFEAT
"Prior to the offensive, the NSyA received new weapons and vehicles, including modern XM2010 sniper rifles from the US. As well, Coalition jets conducted an intensive leaflet-dropping propaganda campaign against the target region, while the NSyA publically stated its intention to attack."
So, let's recap how illegal this US imperial game actually is:
UN Charter, Article 2:
All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
Arming terrorist armies inside another country is a war crime. Barack Obama and George Bush are war criminals. This is the real problem in the world today: unaccountable emperors who dump weapons and money onto their pet terrorists without threat of being arrested and punished. Their "allies" do most of the dirty work, and that leads to entities like ISIS. This is the greatest source of conflict in the world today. And it has purpose, strategy, although most people simply don't understand what's happening and are unqualified to form opinions about it–including a number of so-called "intellectuals" in academia.
Wake up.

The right to freedom of speech only protects people against adverse actions by the government: It does not insulate them from retaliation in the private economic sector. Therefore, freedom of speech is usually the purview of the rich, whose resources allow them to survive such retaliation.
The right to freedom of the press doesn't necessarily give writers access to the press, and, even when it does, these writers incessantly have to run through a gauntlet of "editors," who ultimately decide if certain works are "worthy" of publication, and, if so, in what form.

L.E.A.P. writes:
We have some very exciting news: California's Adult Use of Marijuana Act is officially on the ballot this November!
Now, as the campaign kicks into high gear, the real work begins. Legalizing and regulating adult use of marijuana in one of the nation's most influential states will be a huge victory for drug policy reform, but to make sure it happens, we need to reach California voters and tell them why it's so imperative to legalize and regulate marijuana.
Legalization and regulation of marijuana will create revenue estimated at more than $1 billion in California, in addition to the hundreds of millions of dollars the state will save in criminal justice costs currently being wasted on arresting, prosecuting, and imprisoning people for nonviolent marijuana offenses.
Californians need to hear from pro-reform law enforcers, one of the most influential groups in past successful legalization initiatives, on why legalization, regulation, and control is a more practical and ethical approach to marijuana policy. LEAP is ready to help bring legalization to California: our speakers are out in force, making presentations, talking to the media, writing opinion-editorial pieces, doing everything they can to support legalization efforts and connect with California voters. But we need your help to ensure a shift toward more responsible marijuana policy.
Please donate now to support LEAP's work in California and other states on the verge of marijuana reform.

Bernie's "Political Revolution" = Vote for Clinton and the Neocons
"Hillary is the neocon's neocon," said MSNBC's Joe Scarborough. "She will be more of a saber-rattler, more of a neocon, than probably the Republican nominee. I mean, there's hardly been a military engagement that Hillary hasn't been for in the past twenty years."
That's right, Hillary Clinton is the choice of many of the same neocons who were at one time Public Enemy #1 of Democrats during the George W. Bush presidency. Is it possible to be any more hypocritical than that?
Here are some of the people endorsing Clinton:

* Eliot Cohen – Founding Signatory for the Project for the New American Century
* Robert Kagan – A former Bush administration official who has been called "the most influential neocon in academe"

Just today, in Newsweek, a pretty good summation:
When the Shawal Valley strike occurred, D'Andrea was already was a controversial figure in intelligence circles. He was one of the agency's officials who failed to keep track of Nawaf Al-Hamzi, one of the 9/11 hijackers, after he entered the United States. As The New Yorker's Jane Mayer wrote in her book The Dark Side, the CIA knew Al-Hamzi was in the United States. An FBI officer named Doug Miller who wasattached to the agency's Osama bin Laden–tracking unit typed up a memo about Hamzi, hoping to share the tip with the FBI so they could locate the suspected terrorist. "But his boss, a CIA desk officer in the Bin Laden unit of the Counterterrorist Center who is identified by the 9/11 commission only as 'Mike' told Miller to hold off on sending the memo," Mayer wrote. "After the second try, Miller dropped the matter." Three hours after "Mike" gave that order, he inexplicably told his CIA superiors that the tip had, in fact, been passed to the FBI. "The CIA assumed from then on that it was," adds Mayer. "But it wasn't."

Dani Lemberger, Dror Center, Haifa, Israel 11 July 2012
Timecops » 06 июн 2014, 13:49
Dear friends, fellow Scientologists,
The History of the Attached Letter
The writing of the attached letter, "Assignment of Treason
Condition - David Miscavige," was completed by Dani Lemberger and the execs of Dror Center on 10 June 2012. The planned date of release was 4 July 2012, upon the return of Tami and Dani from the U.S.
Tami and Dani went to New York on 15 June. On 20 June we flew to Corpus Christi, Texas, where we spent 8 days with Marty and Monique Rathbun. We enjoyed fabulous hospitality and continued there our research of "independent Scientology". We flew to Tampa on 28 June, planning to spend a few days with close friends in Clearwater and to go in for scheduled interviews at Flag on 30 June.
When we landed at Tampa airport, on 28 June at 8pm, we were handed a letter by Flag HCO, informing us that we had been declared SP's. We have never seen the SP Declare itself. Our friends in CW were notified of the 'declare' earlier that afternoon, so they could not let us stay at their home. At midnight we checked into a hotel in CW.
We could not meet any of our "old" friends in CW, but made new friends with Mike Rinder, Christie Collbran and mighty Jack King Rinder. The Rinder's made us feel at home and introduced us to many more "indies", loyal Scientologists who had to flee the church so as to practice Scientology peacefully and honestly.
Obviously, many of the planned recipients of this letter will not read it now, since those cowed by the church are not allowed to receive any communications from us. We are proud and relieved to be part of the
rapidly expanding "indie" movement. It is painful to lose friends of many years but our many new friends are courageous and of high integrity and we share the goal of making Scientology available to all.
The days of monopolies and tyrants are over. Now, even in the Middle East. Bashar al-Assad is butchering his people so as to hold on to power over the ruins of Syria. Miscavige is 'declaring' half of
Scientologists so as to maintain his stranglehold on the other half - dazed, confused and ignorant. Zinedine Ben Ali, Hosni Mubarak, Muammar Gaddafi are gone. Assad and Miscavige will soon follow.
My dear friend, please allow me your time and read the attached letter. Pass it on to all your friends. We are the friends of L. Ron
Hubbard, the greatest friend of Mankind.
Love, Dani Lemberger
An Open Letter to All Scientologists
Assignment of Treason Condition – David Miscavige
Please find attached our letter to the International Justice Chief and
to Mr. David Miscavige, COB RTC.
Several letters sent previously have remained unanswered.
Miscavige refuses to be in comm, refuses to be accountable, refuses to tell us truthfully what is going on. Those writing previous letters were subjected to stiff 'Ethics' and accused of spreading 'entheta' and creating ARC breaks within the group. We were told by OSA and Ethics Officers that Miscavige is 'our leader,' cannot be questioned and that we must not read the internet. Also, that the IAS is, "COB's financial arm for financing Scientology" and thus must be supported.
This totalitarian 'logic' is unacceptable to us, hence our action in putting ethics in on Miscavige. We ask that you read the attached letter and decide for yourself what is true.
If you, fellow Scientologist, agree with what we say, please put it in writing. If we all unite in putting ethics in, we will win. We will save Scientology and we will see renewed expansion and rapid progress
towards a Cleared Planet.
We, the undersigned, may promptly be subjected to an "SP declare" by Miscavige and his underlings. Rather, we request an open and unbiased investigation be held which will look into Miscavige's actions and stats. Such investigation should also be free to investigate the undersigned, our motives and statistics.
We regret any hardship brought upon those reading this or upon our friends who now have to contend with a mighty Doubt Condition. If we are declared, our love and compassion is extended to friends who will
be forced into severing ties with us. This is the doing of a paranoid. It is not as intended by Ron, the greatest friend of mankind, our only leader.
Our comfort lies in continuing to serve Ron, clearing the planet, helping our fellows and knowing that "truth always in the end prevails."
This write-up is presented humbly to all Scientologists with a prayer for a better Scientology and a better world.
Written and signed by the staff of Dror Center:
Eitan Beitner, Aviv Bershadsky, Dima Dubinin, Dani Lemberger, Tami Lemberger, Shahar Soref, Moti Weizman, Carmela Weizman
Supported by the public and friends of Dror Center.
Dror Center - Who are we?
Dror Center (Dror = 'Freedom' in Hebrew) was founded in 1992 by Tami and Dani Lemberger as a field group which later became a Mission.
They opened Dror after spending 2 years at Flag, training and doing their OT Levels, both getting onto OT 7. Tami trained as an auditor and C/S, while Dani trained as an Exec, Ethics Officer and Course Supervisor.
The establishing of Dror was greatly assisted by Tami's father, Yuval Wilbush, who became an enthusiastic Scientologist in 1988. Yuval donated the premises where the Mission operates to this day.
Dror Center has expanded steadily and now has 8 full-time staff and over 50 public. Dror is a partnership of its five execs, each holding 20% of it. Our goal has always been to get people up the Bridge – both
sides. We deliver auditing to Clear, including FPRD and NED, and operate a Purif Center. We have an Academy where public train on Life Improvement Courses, the Basics, Student Hat, PTS/SP Course and more.
We have always pushed our public to move on to higher orgs, working closely with Tel Aviv Org, AOSH EU and Flag. We have won many awards for being Top FSM's and for our contribution to the expansion of Scientology. Many of our public have joined staff at TAV Org and the Sea Org.
Our auditors have won numerous awards as Top International Auditors and as Top Auditors for Europe and Israel. We are proud of our achievements and intend to continue working to achieve Ron's vision of a
New Civilization and a Cleared Planet.
We believe that Dror comes close to a Scientology activity as described by Ron in "The Ideal Org" and in many other policies. Our public enjoys coming here for totally Standard Tech, friendly service and
a distraction-free environment. We have never demanded they pay 'memberships' or join staff. Our staff is professional, well-paid and we do not allow moon-lighting. Our premises are well-kept and just the size
necessary for the volume of public and delivery. In the HGC, we have installed an advanced look-in system that guarantees Standard Tech.
Our observation, over the past few years, is that the Church has now become an obstacle to achieving the goals of Ron rather than a safe route to travel up the Bridge. This is clearly the doing of one man, David
Miscavige. Thus we demand his immediate resignation. We have communicated our concerns many times, yet never got a response.
Worse, those writing were sent to "Ethics" on wild charges.
Some may say we are crazy, others applaud us as courageous. We are acting under the weight of responsibility for the future of Scientology.

To: International Justice Chief
Mr. David Miscavige, COB RTC
We, the undersigned, staff of Dror Center, Scientology Mission of Haifa, Israel, have convened and after thorough review, have determined that David Miscavige, who currently holds the post of COB RTC, is in
the Condition of Treason.
We have been staff and active Scientologists for many years. Our goal is a cleared planet and broad dissemination of Standard Tech. This has not been happening over the past years. In fact, management actions under Miscavige have caused the Church to stray away from its goals.
Our action of assigning such condition is based on numerous LRH references, including the following:
1. HCOPL 7 Feb 1965, KSW 1, Keeping Scientology Working "IT IS THE BUSINESS OF EVERY STAFF MEMBER to enforce it." … "NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN SCIENTOLOGY, ON STAFF OR NOT, THIS POLICY LETTER HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOU." … "So the ogre which might eat us up is not the government or the High Priests. It's our possible failure to retain and practice our technology."
2. HCOPL 20 October 1967, Conditions, How to Assign. Section: "RECIPROCITY" "It is more than policy that one gets the condition he fails to correctly and promptly assign and enforce.
"It's a sort of natural law. If you let your executives goof off and stay in, let us say, a Danger condition, yet you don't assign and enforce one, they will surely put YOU in Danger condition whether it gets assigned or not.
"Remember that when your finger falters 'on the trigger.'
"That natural law stems from this appalling fact.
"We didn't, a long, long time ago, get in ethics. We goofed. And the
whole race went into the soup where it remains to this day."
3. The Way to Happiness, Precept 10
"Support a Government Designed and Run For All the People. …
Government organized and conducted solely for self-interested individuals and groups gives the society a short life span. ... But one can raise his voice in caution when such abuses are abroad. … The way to
happiness is hard to travel when shadowed with the oppression of tyranny."
In the attached document we list numerous LRH references which are grossly violated by Miscavige's management. We have also summarized our findings and observations which are the basis of our determination that Miscavige is in Treason on his post, though probably in Confusion on the First Dynamic.
Based on the assignment of Treason Condition to Miscavige, we demand that Miscavige immediately resign the post of COB and leave any managerial position. We expect that all Church property that may be on his name, be turned over to the Church.
A new ED Int, competent and loyal to the group, should be allowed to run the Church. RTC should retain its original mission, as given on its web-site, "RTC thus became the church responsible for the protection of
the religion and its public by ensuring the standard application of Mr.Hubbard's technologies." RTC must pull out of running orgs and bypassing org Tech and Admin senior execs.
All SP Declares of the past 30 years should be cancelled as most of them were politically motivated by Miscavige. Disconnection must be rescinded, as LRH himself directed, so the cruelty of destroying families
and friendships no longer darkens our face.
Following this, senior and active Scientologists must work together to formulate an organizational structure and required institutions that will guarantee the ever-lasting, stable and rapid expansion of Scientology, the only 'Applied Spiritual Philosophy' ever available to Mankind.
Dror Center - Scientology Mission of Haifa, Israel 4 July 2012 Assignment of Treason Condition – David Miscavige Some LRH references which are grossly violated by Miscavige, and our findings and observations which are the basis of the assignment of Treason Condition are detailed below. This is partial and there is much more damage committed by Miscavige.
1. The IAS:
To the best of our knowledge, the IAS was created by management in 1984, not based on any LRH instructions. This would be fine if its activities were aligned with other LRH policies and if it operated in a way that is transparent and to the benefit of Scn, as agreed by Scientologists and not at the whims of one man.
The major policies that cover memberships are:
1.1 HCOPL 22 March 1965, Current Promotion … Membership Rundown
"There are two memberships – The International annual Membership…The Lifetime Membership…The lifetime Membership costs $75 …." We know of no LRH reference that covers IAS "statuses" or a
rate of $5,000 for a Lifetime Membership.
1.2 HCOPL 1 Sept 1965 Memberships.
"It all goes into the HCO Book Account in the area the membership is bought … Membership monies go to dissemination."
Very simple, very clear.
Miscavige has turned the IAS into his personal fund that collects for him millions of dollars. No one knows how much is taken in and what it is spent on. No accountability, no participation of the membership who have donated the money and work hard to keep Scn working. Complete violation of K-R-C and teamwork.
We have proposed that the IAS be organized as local chapters, each connected to a central org. Half of the money collected would remain at the local IAS office to support local activities. The other half goes to IAS Int to fund global projects. Local chapters would be run by a council elected by local members and Org execs. IAS Int monies would be spent by a council that will report data openly to all members.
IAS Statuses are just trickery to get money for nothing. There should only be annual memberships at a low rate, $200 per year. Thus we know how many members we actually have and this figure should be published for each chapter and for IAS Int. People will be encouraged to donate more to fund projects and will be thanked for their help.
1.3 HCOPL 24 February 1964, Org Programming. Section:
SOLVE IT WITH SCIENTOLOGY
"If the org slumps during this transition period, don't engage in "fund raising" or "selling postcards" or borrowing money.
"Just make more income with Scientology.
"It's a sign of very poor management to seek extraordinary solutions for finance outside Scientology. It has always failed."
To make things worse, staffs at Orgs, Missions and even the Sea Org are now made to donate their meager salaries to the IAS and spend much of their time regg'ing for the IAS and off their posts.
2. "Ideal Org" Project:
Over the past years, the Church of Scientology, under Miscavige's management, has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the purchase of huge buildings and their lavish renovation under a program called the "ideal org" project. These buildings have been purchased in tens of cities around the planet.
This project is starkly contrary to LRH policy. Based on data available to us, we have concluded that this project has caused Scientology huge damage. Violations and damages are:
2.1 HCOPL 23 Sept 1970, Quarters, Policy Regarding, Historical This policy is grossly disregarded in the "ideal org" project.
Section A. says: "THE FIRST CONSIDERATION IN PROCURING QUARTERS IS THE VIABILITY OF THE ORG." Huge, expensive buildings, which cannot be paid for by the org, push it into non-viability.
Even when the org pays no rent or mortgage it must still pay real estate taxes, maintenance and bills.
Section B. states: "Quarters must be close to ample and cheap student and pc housing, restaurants and transport." We know this is not the fact for many "ideal orgs." London Org is a good example as is the
"Alhambra" building in Jaffa, Tel Aviv.
Section C.: "Image is a secondary consideration." And, "Staff pay and food and cheap student housing do more for an org than a posh building." It seems to us that most buildings were purchased with image
being the dominant consideration.
Section E.: "Expensive office equipment is not a first priority."
"Furniture quality does not influence production."
Section G.: "Scientology supports Scientology orgs and we learn this over and over." Our orgs have become obsessed with fund-raising and purchasing of new buildings with little attention and resources dedicated to moving the public up the Bridge.
2.2 HCOPL 12 March 1975, The Ideal Org This policy, by its name, should have been the basis for the "ideal
org" project run by Miscavige. But only its name has been taken, with disregard to the content and spirit of this policy. All of this policy is grossly violated. Comparing it to the current scene makes one sad.
One point is, "The staff would be well paid because they were productive." Org staffs are paid dismal salaries. In most countries this is illegal since current staff salaries are well below legal minimum wages.
The orgs are burdened by too many staff relative to public on lines.
Untrained public are recruited to staff and are then a strain on the few org staff that are producing. The few upstat staff are over-worked and underexchanged and ultimately leave staff. Those who stay are forced to "moonlight" or live off of spouses and relatives. This makes us all look bad, parasitical, criminal.
Orgs have spent much time and money to train competent staff members, but then they are sent off to hold wog jobs because the orgs cannot pay decent salaries.
2.3 HCOPL 27 December 1963, The "Magic" of Good Management
This policy too is a dream that never came true. Section E., for example, talks of "The atmosphere of an Organization." It says, "The spirit of Scientology is one of help…, a hope of getting onward, the one
possible escape from the condemnation of this place. … It's an offer to be born again." Very moving words from Ron, currently unfulfilled in most orgs. And Ron concludes this section with, "The atmosphere of
Scientology is a lot more important than new buildings and modern furniture."
2.4 Who owns the buildings?
The total value of real estate owned by the Church of Scientology world-wide is in the billions of dollars. Who does all this belong to?
The Alhambra building in Tel Aviv is still registered on the name of Attorney Gur Finkelstein (who is in jail for attempted murder and for setting the building on fire) on behalf of SIRT (Scn Int Reserve Trust).
Who is SIRT? Who does it belong to? Other buildings are also registered on lawyers' names who represent various corporations.
Our guess is, it all goes back to Miscavige. He probably owns our property and can take it away from us whenever he so wishes. We may be wrong, so we who donated the money to buy the buildings, demand
transparency and an honest accounting of the finances and the ownership of our assets.
3. Destruction of our Orgs
Our Class 5 Orgs, around the world, are in a miserable condition.
Mostly empty with staffs overworked and unpaid, staffs not moving up the Bridge, org execs powerless to do anything about it, they are made to look bad by a management that makes nothing of them.
Miscavige lies to us blatantly at events, talking of "Central Orgs" and displaying flashy graphics of "orgs" with arrows going out around them, supposedly field activities they open or control. In fact, the orgs are central to nothing since they are constantly bypassed.
There are just too many references about allowing local management to manage, about not bypassing habitually, about promoting leadership at all levels. Some of the most obviously violated policies are:
3.1. HCOPL 28 Feb 1966, Danger Condition Data – Why Organizations Stay Small
Ron says, "A LARGE ORGANIZATION IS COMPOSED OF GROUPS." And, "A GROUP IS A PROPER SIZE WHEN THE INDIVIDUAL IN IT CAN EASILY APPROACH THE MANAGER OF THAT GROUP ON A FAMILIAR, FRIENDLY BASIS…." Anybody try to
approach Miscavige lately?
Ron explains, "… Russia currently starving … Russia seeks to run the individual. … they won't leave a manager alone – to manage – they govern his workers." Russia has since ditched "central planning". We are
still stuck with it. Our org ED's are powerless, docile, on post only if they have no initiative and no demand for authority. No wonder they and their staffs are starving or go outside on "moonlighting."
Not clear yet? Ron makes it even simpler, "Thus bypass by the heads of a big organization of the heads of its internal small organizations works toward Non-Existence. It is really quite simple."
"To make an org get smaller all one has to do is bypass the subgroups and run the individuals only and the org will collapse …; NO MATTER HOW BRIGHT ITS MANAGER ... OR HOW HARD HE WORKS …." And history has plenty examples of brilliant rulers who brought ruin upon their nations or organizations.
3.2 HCOPL 19 January 1966, Danger Condition, Responsibilities of Declaring
"If you start doing the work of a post on a by-pass, … you unmock the people who should be doing the work." And, "If an executive habitually bypasses, he or she will then become overworked. Also the
condition of Non-Existence will occur."
Our org execs are totally by-passed and are not granted any decision-making authority. As a result they are in Non-E, and worse, the orgs are rapidly vanishing.
3.3 HCOPL 27 December 1963, The "Magic" of Good Management The current scene with our orgs fully contradicts this policy. Some points are:
"A. Established Patterns – Follow established patterns of the org.
Don't keep breaking them up (or distracting personnel on post) with new projects and wild ideas. And don't follow them so Simple Simon that there's no initiative ever displayed in handling org problems." One rarely sees org execs who are allowed any initiative. And currently orgs are mainly busy with reg'ing for the IAS or madly recruiting to fill some wild quotas for the "ideal org." What does all this have to do with stable expansion of their orgs?
"B. Upgrade Staff Status – See that people want to work for the org and make it a pleasant and happy thing to work for the org. … Make it worthwhile to be on staff. Permanent staff membership should be a coveted status and an enduring career. … And treat them with courtesy and respect." We don't know of any org where this is the scene.
"C. Service – Be sure service gets rendered. … Give good service.
Give the people what they came for." Many public we know refuse to go into the org for fear of being chased by reg'es and recruiters.
"D. Malcontents – See that the place stays clean of entheta and natter. … If they have a real complaint they'd talk to the management, not everybody else." We've tried many times to talk or write to management.
Yet we've never been given a response, especially not by Miscavige who just refuses to be in comm. The substitute has been tough ethics, intended to intimidate so you don't even dare think of communicating again.
3.4 HCOPL 2 June 1965, Org Ethics and Tech "7. GET RID OF DISTRACTIONS FROM SCIENTOLOGY in your
org." Raising money for the IAS has become a real nuisance. Recruiting to staff of people obviously not qualified, results in Dev-T, wasted efforts and no service to public but just a pretended productivity. We were even told the orgs now have a new stat – donations raised for the IAS.
3.5 HCOPL 31 Jan 1983, The Reason for Orgs "The only reason orgs exist is TO SELL AND DELIVER MATERIALS AND SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC … THE OBJECT IS TOTALLY FREED BEINGS!"
3.6 LRH ED 131 INT of 8 Dec 1970
"Orgs have only 2 major final valuable products. One is welltrained auditors. The other is satisfied pcs." And, "Tech and Admin policy exist only to assist making these two products IN VOLUME."
Since 2006 Tel Aviv Org has not completed the training of a single Field or Mission auditor. This situation is probably true the world over.
3.7 Flag and AO's With the release of the Golden Age of Tech in 1996, we were promised fast and totally on-source training that will now open the way to planetary clearing. With this, RTC inspectors were posted in the AO's and at Flag, supposedly to ensure "pure" application of Standard Tech.
In fact, the inspectors now run the AO's and Flag, by-passing the senior tech terminals of the AO's. All major actions, such as signing a checksheet for the Metering Course or a Class 4 internship are done by
RTC inspectors. Also, Clear attest at the end of CCRD, Eligibility for OT levels, completion of OT levels are now signed off by the RTC Inspector even though there is no LRH reference for this and the checksheets
themselves state "Senior C/S" signature.
Thus, the Senior C/S's of AO's and Flag are bypassed, knocked aside, humiliated, and their authority stripped away.
This also creates a hidden data line. One never knows who made a decision, who actually gave you a "pass" or rejected your application for OT levels. The purpose of the inspectors is clearly there to maintain total loyalty to Miscavige and his control over our Bridge progress, both sides.
3.8 KSW No. 9, "Closing the door on any possibility of incorrect technology"
It's been about 8 years now that the Academy Levels and the Grades as delivered at Flag are different from those delivered at the other AO's and Class 5 Orgs. This is excused as "Pilot" and is "confidential",
but keeps us in mystery as to what is going on and debases the validity of training and auditing in the orgs, since "soon" it will all change.
Even the Metering Course at the orgs requires for its completion a video pass on TR 4/8-Q1, while at Flag a much lower gradient is demanded, a pass on e-meter drill 26. Also, Academy Levels have been shortened at Flag and Grades checklists are shorter at Flag.
The Class 4 Internship at Flag requires a pass on TR 4/8-Q1, whereas in most orgs the requirement is a pass on a session video, a much tougher gradient. No wonder training and Grades auditing at Flag are "magically" faster. But how comes we have had for many years TWO "Standard Techs"? We thought LRH meant ONE standard Tech!
We are now waiting in suspense for the imminent release of Golden-Age-of-Tech 2.
3.9 The Drying up of Our Fields Dror Center has been paying for the past 20 years 10% of its income to Management. We have received nothing in return – no advertising, no promotion, no support. Same goes for all field auditors, Missions, WISE consultants, Applied Scholastics activities.
Field auditors and missions are viewed as "competition" to the orgs and are not encouraged or assisted in any way. Very few young auditors are joining our ranks. Our academies are empty and there are very few
new auditors being trained or opening new practices.
Levy Eshkol was prime minister of Israel in the 1960's. When he ran for office, he made many promises to voters about future projects.
After he was elected it was business-as-usual. When asked about it, he said, "yes, I made promises, but I never promised to keep my promises."
Miscavige has made us countless promises, most unkept. A sampling:
4.1 Superpower – The groundbreaking ceremony took place at Flag over 20 years ago with a promise this incredible tech will bring about planetary clearing. Superpower was soon-to-be-released 20 years ago.
4.2 Release of OT 9, 10 – These advanced levels were soon-to-bereleased many times, many years ago. Where are they?
4.3 Saint Hill Size Orgs and Universe Corps – We were told years ago that new SH Size Orgs will be announced at every event and soon all orgs will be SH size. All SH size orgs will have Universe Corps that will take all staff to OT. Where is it?
This promise was dumped and now we have "Ideal Orgs" whose only stat is "Sq. Ft." Yet SH Size Orgs were quantified by LRH in stats of real production – public on lines, WDAH, etc. Rather than production stats we now have buildings stats. Sorry, not what was promised.
4.4 Fighting Psychiatry – How many times has Miscavige promised us the imminent demise/eradication/annihilation/evaporation of psychiatry? But now we are still threatened they are about to shut us down unless we donate zillions to the IAS. So what happened to our fight against psychiatry? How come there are still more psychs and shrinks than auditors?
4.5 New Scientology Dictionary – It's been maybe ten years already, that on a Maiden Voyage, we were shown the full production line-up and work done to prepare the new Scn Dictionary. Printing of the old Tech Dictionary was suspended. What happened? The old dictionary is being reprinted, with BTB's even, and no word of the new one.
4.6 Clearing the Planet – Imminent clearing of the planet was prophesized countless times – at the release of the KTL/LOC courses, at the release of the GAT, at the release of the Basics. And yet we are no closer than we were 30 or 50 years ago. What's gone wrong? Why aren't we making it? See HCOPL 8 Feb 1968, Statistic Rationalization, "The only reason stats are down, ever, is because somebody didn't push them
up. All other reasons are false."
5. Statistics and Secrets
How comes our stats and activities are so secretive? Why can't we, active, upstat Scientologists be given the true figures of number of people actively on-lines at orgs world-wide, number of IAS members, GI of orgs and Internationally, Clears made annually, etc…
5.1 RJ38 of 1984
This is possibly LRH's last recorded talk, given in 1984. In this talk LRH gives statistics of our new management. Some are: Clears made in '84 - 1,800; total Clears made up to 1984 - 32,311; International WDAH weekly - 21,000; number of staff - 7,576; GI per staff - $470 weekly (so one can calculate weekly GI of approx $3.6 million internationally); number of orgs - 144, of which 6 were opened in 1983; Missions opened in 1983 - 53; new public started at FSO in 1983 – 8,273; and more. That was 28 years ago. What are today's stats?
5.2 Scientology.org: unparalleled growth since 2004 We are told on the official site of the Church of "unparalleled growth", yet how comes it's all in sq. ft. of buildings. Since when are we a real estate corporation? Stuff like "total assets and property … more than doubled since 2004"; "The combined size of Church premises increased from 5.6 million sq. ft. in 2004 to 12.1 million sq. ft. in 2012."
Impressive, but what good does it do us? We've never seen this stat in LRH policy. And who does it belong to? Who inherits it after Miscavige?
At the end it says – "Over 10,000 Scientology Churches, Missions, groups exist across 167 nations ..." We'd love to see a list of the 10,000 activities or else we might think this is somebody's fantasy.
And finally, "The number of people newly introduced … per week exceeds 26 times any previous week in history." Anybody figure this out?
Why not give us actual numbers?
5.3 Tech dictionary "Security Checking", Def 2.
"Withholds don't add up to withholds. They add up to overts, they add up to secrecies, they add up to individuation, they add up to games conditions…"
Miscavige refuses to tell us the truth of what's going on, he refuses to be in comm, he refuses to take questions at events because he might then have to answer them, he refuses to meet Scientologists or talk to us.
5.4 HCOPL 15 March 1977, DS 41, Evaluation: The Situation A few relevant excerpts from this policy:
a) - "Back of wrong data you will normally find an impure intent."
b) - "Now any time you find thirty people on staff being removed because they were suppressive, you know they had the wrong Why, because the percentages are wrong. … I can assure you they've left the suppressive on the staff and I can also assure you the guy that did it was suppressive."
c) - "CLOUDING UP A SITUATION – Occasionally you'll find a scene wherein a person's or area's PR is greater to him than production – PR, personal PR, means more than production. And that is a characteristic of a suppressive. He'll fog the situation up with big PR about how good it is so it can't be handled."
6. Miscavige's Personal Conduct Tech Dictionary, Control Case, Def. 2
"The person who feels he must be cold blooded in order to be rational is what is called in Dianetics a 'control case,' and on examination will be found to be very far from as rational as he might be."
It is a wonder to us how Miscavige succeeded in amassing absolute powers to himself, while ousting most other top execs or stripping them of any authority.
Miscavige's main tool has been liberal use of SP Declares and the vicious enforcement of disconnection, inflicting suffering on families and friends while tarnishing the repute of LRH and Scientology.
6.1 High Crimes, as listed in the Scientology Ethics Book A. "Organizing Splinter Groups ..." and "Organizing a splinter group …" - YES! Sounds strange but when so many are forced out of the Church and into the "independent" field, Miscavige is in fact pushing power to the splinter groups and systematically dismembering the Scientology organization. If and when the undersigned get declared, and
thus splintered away, it will be more destruction to the Church and a joyous celebration for the "independents."
B. "Mutiny" - In 1986, at the event notifying us of Ron's departure, Miscavige himself introduced Pat Broeker as Ron's closest friend, his confidante, research assistant for the past 6 years, Ron's appointed "Loyal Officer" and the man entrusted by Ron with the Upper Level materials.
This was even put in writing, Flag Order 3879 of 19 January 1986, The Sea Org & the Future, promoting Pat Broeker, "to the first LOYAL OFFICER rank." and Annie Broeker, "as the second LOYAL OFFICER." Both ranked above Miscavige. Soon afterwards The Broekers were gone. Since then, many senior execs have been ousted or sidelined. See also section 5.4 b) above.
C. "Refusal to allow staff or public to progress up the Bridge …" -
Two of the undersigned have spent 14 years on OT 7 but were taken off arbitrarily in 2005. Dani Lemberger was removed because of his thoughts and concerns about the managing of Scientology. Tami was taken off
because of her husband.
Most S.O. staff and Org staff make very little progress on the Bridge.
D. "Failure to strenuously act to clean up an 'ARC broken field' shall be deemed a high crime …" – Those ARC broken are simply expelled or declared. Easier and faster than getting them handled.
6.2 The "No children policy" in the S.O.
LRH, while establishing and running the Sea Org, researching and writing materials, still found time for the Second Dynamic. LRH was happily married to Mary Sue and we believe they had four kids - Diana,
Arthur, Quentin and Suzette. LRH wrote much tech for raising kids, educating them and maintaining a flourishing family.
It seems like Miscavige has a serious problem with children.
Possibly, having kids will make staff more difficult to control and kids, as we know, are just a waste of time and money. Miscavige created the "no kids policy", not based on any known LRH policy or datum.
6.3 SP Declares and Disconnection Miscavige's primary tool in keeping us under control and cowed is
liberal use of SP Declares. This tool is effective only when a person is in fear of losing family and friends.
In RJ68 of 1968 Ron says, "You have probably read something about the reform code … of Scientology. This resulted in … and disconnection is cancelled as a relief to those suffering family oppression.
It is no longer required on SP orders and a person has to handle."
Similarly, this was also written as policy in HCOPL 15 November 1968, Cancellation of Disconnection. Disconnection was later reinstituted by Miscavige, against LRH policy.
This is fully explained in lecture 48 of the 4th London ACC, given on 3 November 1955, Attitude and Conduct of Scientology. Ron says, "…disconnect them from the organization but not from Scientology. Got
that?"
In many cases, this has been made worse by declaring SP's without a Comm Ev, without publishing the declare and without even sending it to those declared. Thus, those declared hear of it on a rumor line and have no chance of responding.
6.4 Miscavige refuses to be in comm with Scientologists or the public. His only contact with us is standing distant and aloof, on a towering stage reading off rapidly a prepared speech. Never a question
and answer session, never a meeting with a small group, refusing to even answer letters addressed to him.
If you are lucky, and have donated generously to the IAS, maybe a handshake and a photograph, all smiles, to go into Impact Magazine.
6.5 HCOPL 2 November 1970, The Theory of Scientology Organizations "If you ever have occasion to elect a leader for your group, … Compare record as follows: Take a person who is a good auditor, not just says he is. … Take the person who can grant beingness to others. And look at the relative serenity and efficiency of any past command he may have had. So always elect temporarily and reserve the right of recall.
If his first action is to fire people, recall him at once and find another leader. If the organization prospers, keep him and confirm the election by a second one. If the abundance of the organization sags in a month or so, recall and find another."
7. My Philosophy, by L. Ron Hubbard
"The first principle of my own philosophy is that wisdom is meant for anyone who wishes to reach for it. It is the servant of the commoner and king alike and should never be regarded with awe.
"Therefore, in Scientology, we are not concerned with individual actions and differences. We are only concerned with how to show man how he can set himself free.
"This, of course, is not very popular with those who depend upon the slavery of others for their living or power.
"So my own philosophy is that one should share what wisdom he has, one should help others to help themselves, and one should keep going despite heavy weather for there is always a calm ahead.
"For I know no man who has any monopoly upon the wisdom of this universe. It belongs to those who can use it to help themselves and others.
"If things were a little better known and understood, we would all lead happier lives.
"And there is a way to know them and there is a way to freedom.
"The old must give way to the new, falsehood must become exposed by truth, and truth, though fought, always in the end prevails."
"AND TRUTH ALWAYS IN THE END PREVAILS."


At the moment, it's not possible to validate a group of radio buttons refering to one same form variable. In order to display a validatin message when none of the radio buttons is selected, I have to manually check if at least one of the radio buttons is selected in order to display a 'custom' validation message that applies to the whole group of the radio buttons.
not sure if I understand?
that is a simple check, which you would probably do for some integers as well, if they need to be positive for example.
default value = -1, none selected.
all the buttons will have a value of 0 or higher.
But Marin is correct, this seems to be the odd-one-out when it comes to validations, including the fact that Radio Button(s) can't be marked invalid or show a validation message like the rest of the inputs. Any custom validation we come up with, will also need to include a custom way of showing the error.


PARMA HEIGHTS, Ohio - A Parma Heights police officer was shot in the knee during a traffic stop Wednesday afternoon and the suspect in the shooting, a 29-year-old Berea man, has died from return fire from officers.
It happened in the area of Stumph and Huffman around 5:30 p.m.
The traffic stop was initiated by a Parma policeman for fake license plates. A Parma Heights detective stopped to help. When the suspect was asked to get out of his car, he had a gun in his waistband. The detective alerted the officer, who tried to restrain the suspect. That was when the suspect went for the officer's gun. In the following struggle, the suspect shot the detective in the lower left knee.
The suspect was taken to a hospital where he passed away.
The Parma Heights officer was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center.
Police and state BCI agents are investigating the incident.

Q: ¿Como concatenar correctamente? He estado aprendiendo Javascript por mi cuenta, con la ayuda de Videos, Libros, Tutoriales y de mas informacion que he encontrado por internet; me he fijado que en varios lugares usan + y , para concatenar elementos, asi que me surgio la duda de saber ¿Cual es la manera correcta de concatenar en JS? ¿Que diferencia hay entre usar ,(coma) y +(mas)? ¿Es lo mismo? ¿En que ocaciones deberia usar uno o otro?
Adjunto mi ejemplo:

var numero = "numero";
var palabra = 55;

document.write(numero + palabra + "
");
document.write(numero, palabra);

A: La sintaxis para write es la siguiente:
document.write(exp1, exp2, exp3, ...)
Acepta una o más expresiones.
En realidad solo estás concatenando en la primera opción. Al usar "+" estás concatenando la expresión 1 con la expresión dos, es decir estás concatenando las variables palabras con número, generando una nueva expresión.
En la segunda opción le estás pasando dos expresiones, lo cual es completamente válido según la sintaxis de write, sin embargo, estrictamente no estás concatenando.
La primera opción la puedes usar cuando son valores pequeños o fáciles de visualizar.
Para casos donde tus variables son bloques enteros de html yo usaria la opción dos.

A: Primero, hay que hacer algunas aclaraciones para poder comprenderlo de mejor manera:

write() es una función y recibe uno o varios parámetros, la finalidad de esta función es imprimir los parametros que recibe como una cadena concatenada

tomando en cuenta esto, a dicha función la puedes sobrecargar con muchos parametros, cada parámetro separado por comas, ejemplo:
 document.write("a");
 document.write("a", "b", "c");
 document.write("a", "b", "c");

Por otro lado, las variables que recibe esta función pueden ser de diferentes tipos: enteros, cadenas, flotantes y hasta booleanos:
 document.write("a", 2, true);

Ahora hablemos de la concatenación de cadenas: Una cadena se concatena por medio del signo +(y tambien permite que concatenes diferentes tipos de variables):
 var cadena = numero + palabra + "
"

Si te fijas, en el ultimo ejemplo toda esa concatenación cuenta como una sola variable, cuando la ponemos en una funcion, la llamamos parámetro.
Entonces, la función write() tiene como proposito recibir parámetros y todos esos parametros los imprime concatenados
document.write(numero + palabra + "
");
document.write(numero, palabra);

En la primera solo recibe un parametro pero este parametro ya está concatenado, en la segunda recibe 2 pero aqui se encarga de concatenarlos la función.
Es probable que esto sea confuso con la funcion write está concatena, pero si tomamos como ejemplo otra función esto sería más claro aún.

A: La mejor manera para concatenar en JS es el (+) debido que la (,) es utilizada en muchos casos como inclusión en parámetro en funciones o en otras implemenaciones del js esto quiere decir que al especificar la coma (,) ciertos elementos son valorados por separados  "esto es en ciertos casos" mientras que si se incluye el (+) se establece como una sola cadena o concatencion volviendo 2 elementos como un solo valor,
si buscas concatenar recomiendo usar:
var cadena1 = "Hola ";
var cadena2 = "Mundo";
cadena1.concat(cadena2);

A: Utilizar una , dentro de un console.write o console.log no significa que concatenes, si no que estas imprimiendo dos variables distintas en un solo output.

let myNum  = 10,
    myBool = false,
    myStr  = 'Foo';

document.write( myNum, myBool, myStr );

Esto no es concatenación, es unicamente una salida de 3 valores son escribir 3 veces document.write esto se demuestra así

let myNum  = 10,
    myBool = false,
    myStr  = 'Foo';

document.write( typeof myNum, typeof myBool, typeof myStr );

Estamos viendo que cada variable tiene un tipo de dato, si estuviera concatenado, sería un string todo.

Hay dos sencillas formas de concatenar, con el operador de + o con interpolación de variables

let myNum  = 10,
    myBool = false,
    myStr  = 'Foo';

//Concatenar por +
document.write( myNum + myBool + myStr + '
' );

//Esto si tiene un tipo de dato
document.write( typeof(myNum + myBool + myStr) + '
' );

//Concatenar por interpolación utilizando backtick **`**
document.write( `${ myNum } ${ myBool } ${ myStr }` )

Quiero que veas como se comportan todas las impresiones ya sea al DOM o a consola
La concatenación por operador, si te das cuenta está sumando el número con el booleano, esto lo interpreta Javascript como 10 + 0 (Javascript interviene en la conversión del Bool a entero y false significa 0 / true es 1) y luego está concatenando la cadena, en el momento que concatenas la cadena, todo se vuelve un String y por eso la suma de las 3 variables en el en segundo document.write
el retorno del tipo de dato es una cadena.
El tercer ejemplo estamos usando interpolación de variables con literal template  eso supone una mejora al momento de renderizar la información, puesto que con una simple sintaxis puedes convertir todo a cadena y concatenar a tu gusto y forma.
Es cuestión de formas de trabajo, y puedes usar cualquiera dependiendo de lo que quieras lograr

A: Utilizando "," para concatenar, se genera un espacio entre el texto y la variable, cosa que con **"+"** no.
Es el único diferencial.

Q: Selenium not finding LiveValidation text I am using the Selenium IDE to test some of my web development. I am using the JQuery LiveValidation in my code. I have an input box with some javascript behind it that will do a regular expresson and either ouput "OK" or "Error" next to the input text box based on what the user has entered.
For some reason when testing with selenium the LiveValidation will not get triggered no matter what I do and therefore I can not test it. When I do it manually it works great. Has anyone run into this problem before? Any help would be appreciated.

A: This sounds like you are using the Type. The type command dumps text into an input box. Try using the KeyPress instead as that tries to synthesize a user doing keypresses.


Why Paint? In an age of digital technology the question is relevant. As an artist I am constantly considering how to synthesize the relentless bombardment of information and the wonder of new technology into a medium as old as the first cave paintings.
The ability to access images is a marvel; from Leonardo da Vinci's elusive portraits to Bill Viola's shifting tableaux, information is at our fingertips. My role as an artist is to sift through the accumulation, rearrange it and make it both coherent and beautiful.
Observation of the natural world is now superimposed with imagery and information coming in through the windows of various devices. It is no longer enough to record mere representations of one vision. My paintings are hieroglyphs. I use marks to record information that can be read in any spoken or visual language.
The paintings evolve over a few months with layers of marks or information bits being added, obscured, reemphasized as the narrative takes shape. The landscape is of both the visual and the informational world.
Each mark on the painting can be read as a keystroke as I edit the overload of 21st century technology into a moment caught, recorded and transformed. I am after the moment of awe; the moment of standing back and knowing that the laden image is taking flight.
The paintings should not be read as static images. In the stroke of a key or the slight turn of a lens the entire image could shift, morph and transform into something entirely different. Superimposed on this idea is the hand applied paint linking us with all of humanity and through the use of pigment with the very earth itself.

In Top n mode, after I add some objects from a action, the application crack when I click the grid.
My apologies for the delay and thanks for the additional information!
You can solve this problem if you use the this.ObjectSpace property instead of the new oSpace.
Alternatively, you can add the line ObjectSpace.CommitChanges (); after oSpace.CommitChanges ();.
I add the line ObjectSpace.CommitChanges (); after oSpace.CommitChanges ();.
But it does not work. the problem also exisits !
I'am sorry, I did not notice all the nuances in your sample and and made false conclusions!
I see the problem and I am now working on it.
Please, inform us if this solution does not suit you.

Billy Vera – Rip It Up: The Specialty Records Story | Book Review
Billy Vera – Rip It Up: The Specialty Records Story
BMG Books
The Specialty Records label will forever be remembered as the label that provided the launching pad for Little Richard's ascent into rock & roll history. But the label created by Art Rupe was so much more, as multi-talented Billy Vera reminds us in his loving tribute. A noted musical historian and veteran performer, Vera adeptly mixes in his own recollections and comments to the chronicle of the label, spicing up the narrative throughout. Part of the RPM Series, done by BMG Books, Rip It Up is the second edition highlighting a label of keen interest for blues fans. The first, Shake Your Hips by Randy Fox, scrutinize the Excello Records legacy.
Rupe (Arthur Newton Goldberg) had a normal childhood, getting his love of music from his mother. He grew up in the Pittsburgh area, eventually working his way west to Los Angeles, where he earned a bachelor's degree at UCLA. Interested in the entertainment industry, he tried to get a foot ion the door of the movie industry, but that door was slammed shut. Lacking funds to start a big venture of his own, he took a job at Atlas Records, where Vera notes "he learned how not to run a record company". With his new name, he delved deep into the business, learning as many details as possible, including how a record pressing plant operated. He also broke down hit records in detail, striving to learn how to be commercially successful. His first label, Juke Box Records, had a strong seller out of the gate with "Boogie #1" by the Sepia Tones, but lack of distribution limited the success to a few regions of the country.
After several partnerships fell apart, Rupe started the Specialty label in 1946. His early hits came from Roy Milton and the Solid Senders. Vera devotes one chapter to the key contributions that Milton made to making the label viable. In another chapter, he covers the Liggins brothers. Joe had several hits, including "The Honeydripper". Jimmy, a former boxer, did not fair as well but still made some fine platters, including 'Drunk" and "Cadillac Boogie," that in Vera's estimation was the first real rock & roll record.
Several chapters deal with the stellar line-up of gospel artists on the label including Brother Joe May, Wynona Carr, the Pilgrim Travelers, Professor Alex Bradford, and the Soul Stirrers, featuring Sam Cooke. Rupe always wanted to make records that moved him, and he had the magic touch, especially on tracks like "Touch The Hem Of His Garment". In the studio, Robert "Bumps" Blackwell was often the guiding light to the sound that Rupe craved. One of the label owner's few mistakes was the inability to hear Cooke's potential when he wanted to move beyond the gospel realm, releasing the singer from his contract to smooth the way to stardom.
One of blues finest songwriters, Percy Mayfield, had a two year run of hits before multiple injuries from a car accident sidelined his career for an extended period. Vera is an expert on the singer, having put together two discs of material for a Specialty CD reissue series, gaining a nod of appreciation from none other than Bob Dylan.
As you would expect, the longest chapter deals with the phenomenon known as Little Richard. Vera traces his early years, eventually arriving at the fateful day in New Orleans at the famed Cosimo Matassa's recording studio, where Blackwell coached one last performance out of an exhausted singer. That song, the wild "Tutti Frutti," took off, igniting Richard's career that combined some of rock & roll's best records with a flashy persona that captivated record buyers as well as movie goers for films like The Girl Can't Help It. At the end of the chapter, the author explores a number of competing , and very interesting, theories as to what lead to the break-up between the two parties.
There were many other hit makers on the label – Lloyd Price, Camille Howard, Don & Dewey, Floyd Dixon, Larry Williams, Guitar Slim, and Jesse Belvin, on his own and teamed with Marvin Phillips as Marvin & Johnny. Vera offers highlights of their stories, always adding a personal touch that keeps the book from settling into a simple recitation of facts at hand. The connections that Rupe and Blackwell cultivated in New Orleans lead to important records with now legendary names like Art Neville, Clifton Chenier, and Earl King.
Over the years, the label made attempts to make in-roads in the blues, country, jazz, and doo wop markets. While many of these ventures failed to generate a hit record, Rupe never stopped searching for music that moved his soul. Still with us at the age of one hundred & two, Rupe proudly notes in his foreward that three of the Specialty artists – Little Richard, Lloyd Price, and Sam Cooke – have spots along with Rupe in the Rock Roll Hall Of Fame. While the hit records are an essential part of the story, Vera also enlightens readers as to the challenges that Rupe faced dealing with a variety of business associates, an ever-changing market place, and a myriad of details that must be mastered to have an hope of success in a business of razor-thin profit margins. It adds up to deftly rendered tribute to a record label that changed the course of 20th century music. Not to be missed!

Meet artist Elizabeth Speaker, who creates art out of cut paper.
Elizabeth Speaker is an artist at the ArtBomb Studios, where she works alongside her husband Tim and dog Roma. She grew up in Florida and has lived in Greenville for six years.
"Through cut paper and printmaking, I create images that abstract the natural world and reflect on human roles in ecology. By depicting graphic silhouettes with delicate, ephemeral cut paper, I hope to create a tension between the delicacy of ecology and my building anxiety for how we manipulate our environments. Cutting paper has led to exploring collagraphy — a printmaking process in which cut paper is collaged together, inked and printed through a press. I find inspiration in poetry, shimmering silhouettes, unfettered growth and the boundless wilderness."


A PROMINENT Allerdale councillor and Reds' shareholder is calling for any decisions on the shared stadium for Workington to be postponed until after the local elections in May.
The borough council has lodged plans to bulldoze Borough Park to make way for a £25m venue to host the town's football and rugby league teams.
But Joe Sandwith, a UKIP councillor for Seaton, believes that those who are "pushing" for the stadium plans may take a hit at the ballot box, with the borough council elections serving as a litmus test of public opinion.
"I believe Borough Park shouldn't be demolished until the people of Allerdale have had their say on May 2," Mr Sandwith added.
This year will also see a major change in the political landscape of Allerdale, with the number of councillors slashed from 56 to 49 following a ward boundary shake-up.
Mr Sandwith was one of four Reds' shareholders who called for an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Club's board at the end of last week to address concerns over the stadium.
But he will now have to re-submit his demands after being asked by Mike Rollo, the Financial and Commercial Director Workington AFC Ltd to include additional information in accordance with the "required process".
Shareholders want assurances that they will be consulted before any decisions are taken or any documents signed about Reds moving from their ground.
The council learned at the end of last month that they will host games for the Rugby League World Cup 2021, with the creation of the stadium a cornerstone of their bid.
But proposals for an 8,000-capacity community stadium for Workington Reds and Workington Town have divided opinion across Allerdale since the scale of the project was revealed.
Some have praised the district authority for its ambition amid claims an overhaul of the town's rundown sports grounds is long overdue.
It has been claimed the project will raise the town's profile, bring revenue into the area and encourage the next generation of sporting stars.
But opposition councillors have branded it a "white elephant" and a "vanity project", accusing council chiefs of "railroading" the plans through and "jumping the gun".
They have also described the venture as "risky".
Allerdale council has been approached for comment.

GMB ReachOut to support more workplace learners
The GMB's ReachOut project lives up to its name by supporting learners in workplaces and local communities across the north-west.
The GMB's ReachOut project, which supports learners across the union's North West and Irish region, has expanded significantly since Senior Project Worker Dave Flanagan joined the team 11 years ago.
Initially focussed on delivering English, maths and IT courses to workplace learners, these days ReachOut has significantly expanded its offer by creating a network of seven Adult Community Training (ACT) centres in the region, as well as working closely with employers and providers to develop quality apprenticeships and support young people on traineeships.
Dave explains:
Over the years, we have widened the scope of the delivery to include employers, community groups, faith groups and charities that work within the communities where we have GMB membership and wherever we identify a need the Union Learning Fund (ULF) can assist us with."
The expansion into community settings began with the first ACT centre in Accrington in 2009, a partnership with Eaves Brook housing association, which provided the original high street premises, from where ReachOut could engage local residents.
The GMB Union Learning Fund supplied the IT equipment while voluntary sector adult learning provider St Antony's Centre provided the tutors.
Initially offering English, maths and IT courses, the Accrington centre later secured funding to provide pathways into employment programmes and also worked with Eaves Brook to help its residents develop their own budgeting skills and improve their financial planning.
Five years after it opened, demand for learning at the centre had so far outstripped supply that it moved into its current premises in a former primary school in the town, which incorporate two larger dedicated learning suites.
Now in its ninth year, the project continues to thrive, supporting both GMB members and local people, many of them on benefits and/or long-term unemployed.
The most recent ACT centre is based In Blackpool, where ReachOut has teamed up with local homeless charity His Provision, which offers cooked meals on a regular basis to those who are economically inactive or experiencing poverty, and partners with Blackpool Centre for the Unemployed to offer welfare rights advice and help in accessing online services like Universal Credit.
The centre is already offering courses in ICT, English, maths, stress management and informal maths and regular enrolment sessions for distance learning opportunities. It's also running a series of workshops covering mental health awareness and domestic violence and work club activities.
ReachOut has also teamed up with provider TDB Training and St Antony's Centre to offer traineeships to young people not in education, employment or training (NEET).
Some youngsters were not being granted the opportunity to get onto apprenticeships because they didn't have the necessary qualifications, they didn't succeed or they weren't selected to attend."
As well as boosting their functional skills, the trainees can learn the basics of warehousing, distribution and other business functions in the live working environment of the Manchester warehouse that services the local food bank network.
ReachOut continues to serve the union membership through learning agreements, strong partnerships with providers, open access to training centres, development of the ULR network and liaison with employers to advise and guide on training and skills for the benefit of members and workers.
The project regularly attends regional and national conferences within the union to promote the value of lifelong learning and link up with campaigns and initiatives to raise awareness and better educate members in relevant areas.
Dave himself has led by personal example. He explained:
Over the years, I've built up my own portfolio of skills and accreditation where I've missed out previously, so I've done my maths, English and IT up to Level 3, completed an apprenticeship in management and am now studying towards a law degree."
This is all about gaining the knowledge and skills to promote opportunities available through ReachOut, he says. "All activity is geared to supporting those we set out to serve, to try and improve the life chances of our members, community learners, the long-term unemployed and those on benefits."
The project also enjoys the full support of the GMB regional team, led by Paul McCarthy, Dave says.
They wholeheartedly support not only the direct work with GMB members, branches and officers but also the engagement of new members in the communities where we operate."
As the scope of the project has expanded, so has the team. Dave explained
Originally we had a very small project team who covered all activities across the region but now we have specialisms within the team in the key areas of work required by the ULF and the priorities set by the Department for Education (DfE)."
This means we now have experts in specific areas, such as Michelle Graham developing support programmes for apprentices, Joanne Phillips developing community engagement opportunities, Bipin Mistry on workforce and CPD development, Bev Taylor on functional skills and Margaret Seger on ICT development – all effectively supported by an experienced, enthusiastic and dedicated administration team in Lisa, Bernadette and Harpreet."
Being able to maintain an established team is a key ingredient in ReachOut's continuing success, Dave says, thanks to its access to funding streams that complement ULF activity.
Whether ReachOut is working with young unemployed people, workplace learners or community learners, the aim is the same.
The core value of the project is all about giving people opportunity where it may have been missed before: in the case of adults, they may have had to leave school at 14 or 15 and never had chance to achieve qualifications."
ReachOut has always been innovative and forward-thinking in responding to people's ever-changing needs, evolving and adapting in times of uncertainty but with our sights very firmly set on supporting those in most need."

"99 Luftballons" is an anti-war protest song by the German band Nena. It was a number one hit in West Germany in 1983. Its English version "99 Red Balloons" became an international success the following year.


Only a few years ago if you had asked your average teenager (who wasn't into classical music) about whether they knew of any harpists they wouldn't have been able to name one.
Ask a teenager now, and they will mention Tom Moth (under a new name!) the harpist in Florence and the Machine.
It's really great that the harp is becoming "hip" and is slipping into mainstream music and losing it's reputation of being "a girly classical instrument."
Just came across this remix done by Tom of an indie track by missdavinalee - with lots of lovely harp!


To avoid the spread of misinformation and to help avoid embarrassment by those passing on misinformation, let�s clarify a frequent misunderstanding in terms.
Platinum is a colour. It looks like a light, dull, washed-out natural agouti. Platinum may come with a dilute gene. The dilute platinum has a lighter undercoat than the pure platinum and has a blotchy appearance . The extreme dilute platinum resembles a black-eyed white but usually has colour on the ears and a few side hairs with colour.
Pearl is a marking (pattern) not a colour. Pearl means the even ticking and tipping of hairs with a colour (any colour) on a lighter background. There can be natural pearls, argente pearls, opal pearls, dove pearls, black pearls and yes, there can be platinum pearls.
A state of confusion exists because some people don�t know the difference between a true platinum, a dilute platinum, a platinum pearl or an extreme dilute platinum. Oh, and yes, there can be a dilute platinum pearl.
The dilute platinum pearl resembles the dilute platinum except that it has an even-looking tipping to the coat of the colour platinum and is not blotchy-looking.
Having seen these animals in Holland and England and in the USA, and having bred and judged them, it is upsetting to know that people breeding them are spreading misinformation. Please try first to know the difference between a colour and a marking (pattern) and then teach others.
