It's rare that I ever get deeply affected when celebrities die. By definition, celebrities aren't familiar, they're totally foreign and unattainable, so their passing, while sad, doesn't stop me in my tracks. Of course, Lady Di was an exception, and I imagine one day my great heroes will be an exception, too (I won't name them here, it feels too morbid). Annette Funicello is an exception to the rule for me, too, even though I've only ever seen one movie she was in. The 1961 technicolor masterpiece "Babes in Toyland." Did you ever see it? My mom had it on Betamax (!!) and I watched it until the tape wore down. To a young girl, Annette Funicello as Mary Contrary was magical. She was beautiful, sweet, smart, and had great hair. She passed away yesterday, and while her death doesn't radiate as deeply to me as other people would, and more to other people than to me, she was a big part of my childhood in a delightful and happy way. And seeing as I'm already on a trip down childhood memory lane after yesterday, I'm grateful for the chance to reminisce about "Babes in Toyland" and more than a little proud that I still know all the words to the songs.
PS. Because my mom and I can still belt out "THIS IS THE FOREST OF NO RETURN!" at random and crack up, I'm including this clip. And before she outs me, I'll admit it, this scene used to scare the bejesus out of me.
Annette was my dad's first crush! :) He was so sad yesterday. He said that seeing her was when 12 year old him discovered that girls had curves. How could he not? What an odd series of deaths in the last day. We always do a celebrity death watch at the end of the year (the deaths always come in threes and the Pope – whoever he is – is always on the list), which, while morbid can be highly entertaining. But. I digress. I have an interesting story about Margaret Thatcher that I'll share on Friday. Strange days indeed.
ps (for lauren) what is a celebrity death watch?
…..somewhere around " Still you can't get out. This it the Forest of No Return. This it the Forest of No Return. You have stumbled in, you have fumbled in, now you can't get out." MOM!!!!!!!!!!!
I have not heard about Anette and the movie before she passed away. Before I give birth to the first generation of Americans in my family I definitely need to catch up on children's culture in this country ;) Is the movie Babes in Toyland with Drew Barrymore a remake of the Disney movie?
I did catch the news of Funicello's death, along with Roger Ebert. I remember Funicello more for her role as a Mouseketeer. She was my favorite one and I thought she was so beautiful! Oh my, that clip would scare the bejesus out of my kids. ;) Lauren points out the rule of three and it has me wondering who is next. Or was there already a next and I missed it?
Sadly, I haven't heard of this one either, I blame it on being South African. I'm adding it to my list, along with the children's books you posted about yesterday. I think it's going to make for a very relaxing (and interesting) weekend!
Never heard of it! i'm not doing very well this week.
Everyone over here is arguing over whether the witch is dead or whether our saviour has passed on.
I haven't ever watched this movie but have had more than my share of Babes in Toyland high school musicals. Isn't it sad when we can actually see pieces of our childhood passing us by?

"A person immersed in Reconnective Energy is experiencing more than a 'fix-it' job. They're permeated with light; exchanging information in a high-level conference with the universe".
There are many healing techniques that are used in today's world.
But I have never experienced anything like Reconnective Healing. It is beyond imagination.
First of all it is not a technique. It is neither a therapy nor a treatment, as it does not focus on symptoms. It is more than that. It is the healing itself. It is bringing your body back to balance.
Healings can take place on physical, emotional or spiritual level. The intelligent energy of Reconnective Healing knows where to swim with this Energy. It is like you throw a bucket of water and that water knows which holes to fill in.
Many times I am being guided to areas which need the healing most. Surprisingly when I chat with my clients after a session, they confirm the areas I touched (or the Reconnective Healing Energy touched) are the areas which needed the healing most due to an operation or health issues.
Reconnective Healing is light and information all at once. We are all part of the Universe and RH is covering the complete Universe not a part of it like other systems. We, as practitioners simply interact with the Reconnective Healing Frequencies, bringing about healings that are often instantaneous and tend to be life long. In Reconnective Healing we do not diagnose or treat..
We let Reconnective Healing do the job in the best way which is good for our clients.
Each individual's experience is unique therefore I can not say everybody will see the light, or the Angels, or guides. One thing is for sure, their lives will be touched, changed in the way which is right for them. In some cases they might go deeper in themselves to find the truth; what is really good for them. Sometimes they might need to make life changing choices, all for the better.
If you are ready to make a change in your life, you can contact me via my website for a healing session in person or via distant healing. Distant healings are as strong as in person sessions so do not worry, you will still get the best results to make a change in your life!

The Chinese lunar New Year celebration culminates
with the first full moon of the new year (14th Feb
2014). Traditionally the first full moon of the year is
celebrated as the Lantern Festival (元宵灯节 Yuan
Xiao Deng Jie) but in SE Asia, this name is rarely
used, instead it's simply known as Chap Go Mei,
the Chinese Hokkien dialect meaning the 15th night
(full moon). In SE Asia, fireworks have replaced the
lighted lanterns, and more importantly, this night is
popularly celebrated by the young at heart. Many
will stand on a bridge with a lighted candle and
make a wish by throwing fruits into a river. Some
recorded wishes (in Hokkien) are fun (the last one
being the most creative);
Tim Ping Ko (投苹果) Apples I throw,
Tan Ho Bo (得好妻) Good wife to follow.
Tim Ho Kam (投好柑) Good oranges I throw,
Chua Ho Ang (得好婿) Good husband to follow.

The dragon eventually swallows the ball and its
body transformed, internally glowing with golden
light. At this time, children are ushered to walk
under the dragon for blessings and intelligence.
Tim Ang Cho (投红枣) Red dates cast away,
Ban So Ho (万事 好) Good tidings come our way.
Tim Chio Tau
(投石头)
Rocks I throw,
Khi Ang-mo Lau (起红毛楼) Will build bungalow!
Well, this is the fun and popular aspect of this
festival. The esoteric connections of this special
night are actually quite intriguing. I've mentioned
in the August issue (no 5) that the annual year can
be partitioned in various ways, and one way is as
shown in the table above (top right). From the
above, we see that the traditional Lantern Festival
is also called the Shang Yuan Jie ( 上 元 节 ).
Important components for this festival are the
Dragon Dance during the day and the lighted
lanterns at night. Unfortunately, in modern times,
these 2 meaningful events are rarely seen. The
Dragon Dance, enacted by at least 6 physically fit
and well-coordinated boys, depicts a dragon
spiraling energetically chasing after a fiery ball.
Actually, the dragon depicted in Shang Yuan Jie
alludes to the spiral energy that rises upwards on
the spine during proper and serious meditation
practice. The fiery ball represents the pineal gland
in the centre of the head. The small 1-cm pineal
gland produces melatonin, a rejuvenating calming
hormone secreted only in the dark (or during night
sleeps). As one ages, this hormone is produced
much lesser since the pineal gland becomes
calcified and start to atrophy. Proper and serious
meditation can jump-start the pineal gland to
produce more of the restful melatonin, along with
other unique transformative secretions that can
rejuvenate the system. This is symbolized by the
dragon's glowing body after swallowing the ball.
The first full moon of
the New Year is also
called 'Releasing the
Dark' (放夜, Fang Ye),
commonly
understood as the
Night of Freedom. In
popular culture, this is
seen as a night that one can be free, and in the
past, this is such a liberating and joyous day for
girls, as finally they get to come out, stand on a
well-lid bridge with beautiful lanterns, and throw
oranges into the river. Incidentally, to also glimpse
at boys throwing apples! But in spiritual cultivation
tradition, the Night of Freedom (or Releasing the
Dark) has nothing to do with apples and oranges. It
is a night where one is free, either being 'released'
finally from the dark cave, to emerge after...
education Essay
...Brianon Gammone Student number: 20134571 Science 1 in the Early Years Assessment: Item 1- Views of teaching and promoting science of young learners Introduction The pedagogy of play can be hard to understand and part of the reason for this is it's so difficult to explain how children learn by play because play isn't simply; it is complex. Each child begins their early childhood education with a set of skills and prior knowledge that is influenced by their family, culture and past experiences (Fellows &Oakley, 2010). The past knowledge should become the foundation for developing an understanding of scientific concepts (Duschl, Schweingruber & Shouse, 2007). Children are naturally inquisitive, creative and aware of the world around them (Campbell & Jobling, 2012). Play is an important development tool and an effective way to teach children scientific concepts while using their prior knowledge (Preston, Mules, Baker & Frost, 2007). Learning science through play shows children that science is useful and enjoyable and is a significant aspect of the real world (Bulunuz, 2013). This essay will review teaching science through play, theorists who support play and the way in which the Australian curriculum and EYLF support play pedagogy. Science and Play Play pedagogy is a context for learning through which children organise and make sense of their social worlds, as they engage actively with people, objects and representations.

...INDIA'S GROWTH THROUGH ADVANCEMENT IN EDUCATION SECTOR Anjana dhingra* Dr.Abha mittal** *Research scholar,sri Venkateshwara university,gajraula **Supervisor, Maharaja agarsen college,Delhi university. ABSTRACT Education in India today is nothing like it was in Pre-Independence and Post-Independence Era. Education System in India today went through a lot of changes before it emerged in its present form. Present education system in India is also guided by different objectives and goals as compared to earlier time. Present system of education in India, however is based around the policies of yesteryears. After independence, it was on 29th August 1947, that a Department of Education under the Ministry of Human Resource Development was set up. At that time the mission was the quantitative spread of education facilities. After, 1960's the efforts were more focussed to provide qualitative education facilities. The present research focus on steps through which our indian education system had gone through. The basic moto of this research is to show that india has done serious efforts in education nd has shotremendous development but it is still lacking in comparison with developed nations. This study is an effort to suggest some measures for its improvement. INTRODUCTION Education in every sense is one of...

Schools function through a hierarchical structure of authority whereby every aspect of the school needs to function accordingly. Schools are also, a dynamic and ever- changing system continually responding to influences both externally and internally. In order for schools to render an effective service of education certain structures need to be in place, and effective undertakings of various management functions need to be prioritised (Naidu, 2008:74). 'Educational organisations, are human endeavours' (Owens and Valensky, 2011: 84), and to deal with them effectively is to deal with human social systems. Management effectiveness in schools relates to competencies, skills and approaches. However, school management teams interventions which are aimed at improving their current...
... 1. What is the purpose of education? To transmit culture? To provide social and economic skills? To develop critical thinking skills? To reform society? I think that the purpose of education is to get the children ready for real life, and provide them the learning skills, and abilities that they will need. 2. What are schools for? To teach skills and subjects? To encourage personal self-definition? To develop human intelligence? To create patriotic, economically productive citizens?
Schools' purposes are major in every culture all around the world. In my eyes, schools are to educate the general public, young or old for survival in the next chapter in their life, a degree. They are taught the basic skills and subjects to maneuver on to college, or to start life. After the basics, they are taught more in depth skills and subjects. Schools aren't good just for that. In schools children also gain life long friends, experiences and learn the social skills they need in life. 3. What should the curriculum contain? Basic skills and subjects? Experiences and projects? Inquiry processes? Critical dialogues? The curriculum should contain all basic skills and subjects, math, reading, language, writing, science, and geography. Then on a second level, to test the knowledge, and for student's to learn from other students, projects should come in. As for experiences, I think that students that can relate, should share their...

Gale Encyclopedia of Education: History of Special Education Top Home > Library > History, Politics & Society > Education Encyclopedia Special education, as its name suggests, is a specialized branch of education. Claiming lineage to such persons as Jean-Marc-Gaspard Itard (1775 - 1838), the physician who "tamed" the "wild boy of Aveyron," and Anne Sullivan Macy (1866 - 1936), the teacher who "worked miracles" with Helen Keller, special educators teach those students who have physical, cognitive, language, learning, sensory, and/or emotional abilities that deviate from those of the general population. Special educators provide instruction specifically tailored to meet individualized needs, making education available to students who otherwise would have limited access to education.

...the students are motivated to learn, develop better, think creatively and have originality in thought. Foundation areas are core areas in the growth and development of a school librarian, which allows the new role of the teacher librarian to develop a learning community to motivate students to learn. The main goal of the foundation areas are to develop creative, critical and original thinkers who will be able to better understand the school curriculum thereby achieving academic excellence which is the main philosophy of the education system. The library is often seen as the storehouse of knowledge in the school. Foundations in Education touch on four key areas each of which provides insightful information into the society, the individuals and their interactions with each other. The four main areas in Foundations in Education are psychology, sociology, philosophy and language. We will look at each in turn to see the benefits of Foundations in Education to create a learning community. The librarian has a difficult role in the school community as they are the ones to ensure that the current, relevant and insightful information is available on a wide range of topics that will assist students in the completion of the school curriculum ensuring that they acquire information to develop each individual full potential.

Q: imageview does not move on touch event android MY imageview does not move when ontouch event is called...Though I can see ACTION_UP and ACTION_MOVE happening from the log traces.
Here is my code:-
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent motion) {

     float dy ;
     float dx;
     double r = 0;
     float angle = 0;

     switch(v.getId())
     {
        case R.id.arrow:
            switch(motion.getActionMasked())
            {
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                    Log.w(this.getClass().getName(),"In MOTION MOVE");
                    mX1 = motion.getX();
                    mY1 = motion.getY();
                    break;

               case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:

                  Log.w(this.getClass().getName(),"In MOTION UP");
                  mX2 = motion.getX();
                  mY2 = motion.getY();
                dy = -( mY2-mY1);
                dx = -(mX2-mX1);
                r = Math.atan2(dy, dx);
                   angle = (int)Math.toDegrees(r);
                   updateRotation(angle);
                   break;

               default:
                   break;
            }

            Log.d(this.getClass().getName(), "Value of angle in ontouch: " + Double.toString(angle));

            break;

        default:
            break;
     }
    return true;
}

Basically I am trying to calculate the angular displacement when user touches the imageview and changes its position.
======================================
Edit:- Below is my update rotation function:-
public void updateRotation(double angle)

{

    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.arrow);
    int w = bitmap.getWidth();
    int h = bitmap.getHeight();
    String filePath = null;
    Matrix mtx = new Matrix();

    Log.d(this.getClass().getName(), "Value: " + Double.toString(angle));

    if(angle > 90)
        angle = 90;
    mtx.postRotate((float) angle);

    bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, w, h, mtx, true);
    Drawable draw =new BitmapDrawable(bitmap);

    mImageView.setBackgroundDrawable(draw);
    }

=========================================================
Edit 2: Modified function
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent motion) {

     float dy ;
     float dx;
     double r = 0;

     switch(v.getId())
     {
        case R.id.arrow:
            switch(motion.getActionMasked())
            {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                mX1 = motion.getX();
                mY1 = motion.getY();
                break;

                case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                    Log.w(this.getClass().getName(),"In MOTION MOVE");
                    mX1 = motion.getX();
                    mY1 = motion.getY();
                    break;

               case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:

                  Log.w(this.getClass().getName(),"In MOTION UP");
                  mX2 = motion.getX();
                  mY2 = motion.getY();
                dy = -( mY2-mY1);
                dx = -(mX2-mX1);
                r = Math.atan2(dy, dx);
                   mAngle = (int)Math.toDegrees(r);
                   updateRotation();
                   break;

               default:
                   break;
            }

            Log.d(this.getClass().getName(), "Value of angle in ontouch: " + Float.toString(mAngle));

            break;

        default:
            break;
     }
    return true;
}

Edit 3:- Strange thing is that if i modify my onTouch event and perform all the calculations in ACTION_MOVE the imageview responds for each touch event, but this is not what I want as I cannot do the proper angluar rotation in ACTION_MOVE event

A: Ruchira,
From looking at your code and working with many onTouch innovations myself, I can tell you that the problem is definitely in your onTouchEvent(). You record the mX1 and mY1 in your ACTION_MOVE without recording the original ACTION_DOWN event. This means that every time you move your finger, the onTouchEvent() method thinks that this is the original position. Try this instead:
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent motion) {
     float dy ;
     float dx;
     double r = 0;
     float angle = 0;

     switch(v.getId())
     {
        case R.id.arrow:
            switch(motion.getActionMasked())
            {
               case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                    mX1 = motion.getX();
                    mY1 = motion.getY();
                    break;
               case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                    Log.w(this.getClass().getName(),"In MOTION MOVE");
               //Just to support real time rotation, you could:
                    mX2 = motion.getX();
                    mY2 = motion.getY();
                    //... some rotation code.
                    break;

               case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                   Log.w(this.getClass().getName(),"In MOTION UP");
              // All of this should be fine.
                   mX2 = motion.getX();
                   mY2 = motion.getY();
                   dy = -( mY2-mY1);
                   dx = -(mX2-mX1);
                   r = Math.atan2(dy, dx);
                   angle = (int)Math.toDegrees(r);
                   updateRotation(angle);
                   break;

               default:

            Log.d(this.getClass().getName(), "Value of angle in ontouch: " + Double.toString(angle));

            break;

        default:
            break;
    }
    return true;
}

That should at least track your numbers correctly, so that they may actually be used.
Additional Considerations
The most common mistake is to make sure that you have not set any of your tracking variables to final. If this is the case, the code will set it once, but not again...
When dealing with Drawables, it is important to get rid of the original Drawable and its callback. The reason for this is a well known issue that was never resolved in Android because a decision couldn't be made as to when exactly it was necessary and when it wasn't. Essentially, Android will eventually run out of memory, but will not necessarily tell you and just fail to update the image. This is how you do this (when replacing an image).
Drawable trash = mImageView.getBackgroundDrawable();
if (trash != null)
{   trash.setCallback(null);
    trash.recycle();
    trash = null;
}
mImageView.setBackgroundDrawable(draw);

Finally, you have to let the image know that it has to redraw itself. This isn't always the case, but is true more often than not. mImageView.invalidate(); will often resolve the issue, and should be placed on the last line in your updateRotation() method.

... the compulsion to repeat must be ascribed to the unconscious repressed.
Repression goes hand in hand with the advent of capitalism and the bourgeois [...] we affirm repression.
Issues addressed in Subrin's recent projects can be viewed in embryonic form in early works such as Is a Lie (1988, her first video), Interference (1989), and Evidence Acquired Without Consent (1990), that assemble disparate histories, intimate and political, in an effort "to make culture at least partly accountable for female disorder." (2) Footage of Civil Rights demonstrations, home movies, Muybridge motion studies and soundtrack recitations of Simone de Beauvoir articulate a self-conscious generational problem, cyclic in nature, for the feminist artist: art or activism?
No matter how many levels of consciousness one reaches, the problem always goes deeper.
We see the Chicago skyline, real Mies van Der Rohe, fake Mies van der Rohe, and Shulie (1997) begins. A shot-by-shot, line-by-line recreation of a suppressed 1967 documentary about a member of the Now generation, the film uses conventions of 60s direct cinema to explore the residual impact of social movements and the boundaries between fiction and nonfiction form. That this particular documentary featured a young art student who would later become a significant author of a groundbreaking radical feminist manifesto is rendered minor detail. However, the scarcity of such a document, in its original form, is highlighted by its reenactment. The film's embrace of the premature - just before becoming an identifiable subject - is part of its objective. Often the most radical conceptual maneuvers are comprised of artists' willful attempts to do impossible things, to inhabit spaces they cannot go. To place a camera, thirty years later, in the exact location where someone else's has been, is an excruciating exercise in failure - an accomplishment time does not allow. Why this rigorous attempt seems so poignant, so sad, remains unclear to me.
Mirroring Woodman's preoccupation with collecting and reordering cultural debris, Subrin, however, chooses to emulate forensic evidence and crime scene photography to depict Woodman's festishistic Victorian registry of props, locations, equipment. An index that shifts from 19th century object (pearl necklace, garter belt, stuffed fox) to present day abject (Maybelline blue eyeshadow, Vaseline, rubber glove) levels time through it's packaging of evidence in hermetically sealed and labeled plastic bags. A structural document that habitually breaks its own conventions, the intrusion of disturbing factual and theoretical commentary belies inherent formal limitations. Innuendo operates in retrospective, burdened replicas of Woodman's words and images.

Exalead SA
www.exalead.com
Founded in 2000, Exalead is all about optimizing access to the masses of information people are confronted with on a daily basis. As François Bourdoncle, president and CEO of Exalead, explained, "We live in an important time where the focus is moving from general computer science to information access. We see search engines as the key to access." The search industry must constantly adapt its approaches to help users navigate the ever-expanding information maze.
Exalead offers solutions to both the general public and businesses, and Bourdoncle sees the market as evenly split between the two. The company's overall goal is to make accessing pertinent information easier. With its business solutions, Exalead is shifting the focus from application-centered computing to search-centered computing by combining elements of knowledge management, content management, and databases. What really sets Exalead apart, for Bourdoncle, is its wide range of products. "We offer everything from simple plug-and-play solutions to high-end, customizable products," he says.
The Exalead web-based search engine takes an original approach. Instead of offering exhaustive lists of responses to a given query, it organizes information thematically. Bourdoncle describes the search engine as being like a remote control for the internet. Exalead recently launched a beta version of its search engine with a brand new "ergonomic" design. The company used focus groups and user feedback to revamp the interface. This new and improved Exalead engine offers a list of responses to a query with thumbnail screenshots on the left. On the right, the search engine also generates an expandable list of themes, as well as content-rich and language options to allow users to refine their searches with ease.
Soon, Exalead will introduce a new logo, "Exa," a little figure designed to serve as your search guide. Bourdoncle concedes that Exalead's search engine approach may not be familiar to some users, but he sees this as an opportunity to show information seekers a promising new path.
www.factiva.com
Factiva provides powerful tools for searching and monitoring global news and business information, enabling professionals to make better decisions faster. Factiva products provide rich content collection and access to more than 10,000 sources such as influential newspapers, academic and trade journals, magazines, news and radio network transcripts, websites, and images from 152 countries in 22 languages, including more than 120 regularly updated newswires.
Founded in 1999 as a joint venture of Reuters and Dow Jones, which took sole ownership in October, Factiva is a web-based information service that has developed software and applications with clients such as Microsoft, Oracle, Google, Yahoo!, and IBM. It has also partnered with EuroSpider, Comintell, Peoplesoft, MediaMap, Biz360, ChoicePoint, BT Radianz, AtHoc, and Reuters.
In the words of Claude Green, Factiva's interim CEO, "It takes a tech-savvy company that also understands the importance of presenting business news and facts in context to be able to successfully turn data into decision-ready information." Well, it takes one to help others.
"Today, smart organizations save time and money by placing critical news and information directly into applications that employees use everyday. Information professionals who create corporate intranets and portals, as well as the CIOs and technology professionals who manage infrastructure recognize that electronic content must be efficiently inserted into the existing organizational infrastructure to be effective," says Factiva VP Dennis Cahill.
Green points out that, "Today, businesspeople are spending more time searching—a disturbing trend! Yet, there's no reason why technology can't help to make the whole searching experience more efficient." Offering its own solution this year, the company introduced Factiva Search 2.0, powered by Factiva Discovery Technologies, a suite that supports text mining technologies, advanced content visualizations, and taxonomy.
The company also offers a number of enterprise integration options, including fully comprehensive web services API, the Factiva Developers Kit, which allows organizations to insert Factiva content and services within enterprise workflow applications.
Factiva continues to work with companies to increase customer options for accessing Factiva content. Partnerships with Microsoft and Google have embedded Factiva content into the work processes of business people globally. "At Factiva," says Green "we are constantly investigating the rise of new technologies and the expanding definitions of business-relevant content, in an effort to predict what's next, what might be Web 3.0, which we believe is going to be about efficiency of search."

Fast Search & Transfer (FAST)
www.fastsearch.com
Enterprise search has come a long way from its roots in simple search technology, and FAST has been at the forefront of that evolution. By continually pushing the boundaries of technical innovation and designing customer-centric vertical market solutions, FAST stands out in the crowded enterprise search market.
This is a good time to be in enterprise search, the business of providing tools for corporations not only to search for disparate data in multiple locations, but also to classify, categorize, and present results in an actionable format. As the volume of data residing in companies continues to explode, data is also being dispersed from traditional central repositories to desktops, hand-held devices, and laptops. According to IDC analyst Sue Feldman, "Sales of enterprise search software licenses and maintenance is expected to grow from $942 million in 2005 to $2.5 billion in 2010."
FAST was founded in Oslo, Norway in 1997 by Hans Gude Gudeson, Espen Brodin, and John Lervik, who recognized the growing importance of search technology as the volume of content on the web exploded. Since selling off its web search platform to Overture in 2003 for $70 million, the company's sole focus has been enterprise search, and it now serves 3,600 customers on six continents. FAST's 2006 revenues are projected at $150 million, up from $103 million a year earlier. The company has no debt and, according to Feldman, leads the market in revenue growth.
FAST's enterprise data search technology combines three key factors: a proprietary compressed search algorithm, allowing high performance with relatively low data costs; linear scalability, to ensure that search performance will be maintained even as corporate data assets grow; and an integrated real-time filter to ensure fast content delivery.
FAST has an "extended platform" philosophy; it understands that mission critical data can now be found on platforms from desktop to laptop to PDA. In addition to its flagship product, FAST Enterprise Search Program, the company offers FAST Personal Search Platform for desktop searching and FAST Search for mobile devices. FAST InStream is designed specifically for application within an OEM environment. Launched in 2004, InStream's customer base of over 40 OEMs includes Symantec and Documentum.
Despite its success, FAST doesn't rest on its technical laurels. "We believe we have the best enterprise search product in the world, but we are not good enough," says Ali Riaz, president of FAST. The company regularly reinvests 25% of its income into R&D projects, and one in three of FAST's 680 employees is an engineer. Technical priorities in the coming year include upgrading search technology to better handle files beyond text, like voice, video, and images.
Alongside its technology, Riaz sees FAST's strong commitment to customer satisfaction as a critical component to the company's success. "Providing the technology is really only half the answer. It is the service around the technology that helps us build customer loyalty." An independent evaluation of FAST's support organization conducted earlier this year found that customers gave FAST a 99% satisfaction rating. And FAST says they have never failed to renew a customer contract.
FAST's goal is to become a strategic partner to its customers, rather than simply a software provider. Riaz says, "We 'incentivize' our entire organization when our technology goes live for a customer, not just when the contract is signed." This gives everyone from sales to engineering a reason to understand the customer's needs and streamline implementation. Their familiarity with vertical market requirements has allowed the company to expand from its original base of ecommerce clients to add publishing, media, pharmaceutical, and financial services companies to its customer list. The manufacturing market is one that Riaz sees as a growth opportunity for FAST in the coming year.
As for the enterprise search industry as a whole in 2007, Riaz says, "The biggest challenge is that everyone seems to want to have a play in it," referring to the number of companies now touting enterprise search capabilities. But he questions whether these new entrants know what they are getting into. "Enterprise search is serious, and it's very hard to do well." With a solid track record of financial success and a commitment to customer needs, FAST can afford to invest in both technology and infrastructure to continue to outpace the competition.
www.feedburner.com
Websites have been firing up RSS feeds with the help of FeedBurner's syndication systems since 2004, but even CEO and cofounder Dick Costolo couldn't foresee just how willing online businesses were in 2006 to incorporate his company's easy-to-use feeds. "It has surprised us how quickly publishers have embraced feeds…they are aggressively taking advantage of this new medium," says Costolo. This year, the company became the go-to guys for some of the nation's biggest commercial news services, like Reuters, Newsweek, and USA Today; for digital publishers of all stripes; and for thousands of independent bloggers and podcasters—245,000 total publishers, serving 22 million subscriptions worldwide.
FeedBurner calls its feeds "burned," which means more than just going live. Perks of burned feeds include easy set-up and management, and tracking features that allow users to view and monitor subscribers. Recently launched features reflect the growing functionality that subscribers and publishers expect from their content. While anyone can tap into the company's free software, paid subscribers saw a number of new features in 2006—feed-driven dynamic site ads, FeedFlare (which allows subscribers to tag, manage, and email content from within publishers' feeds), and an advertising network for customers' mutual benefit.
But according to Costolo, it's not some sort of feed technology revolution that's to thank for rising RSS popularity. He says, "What has happened is that we are seeing more and more companies providing mechanisms that make it easier to subscribe to feeds without having to worry about the technologies or protocols underneath the proverbial covers." In other words: What you don't see with a FeedBurner feed is almost as important as what you do see. The staff, besides being in touch with their inner children (they love playing with toys and the office has an impressive sticker collection), are also in touch with the kind of seamless integration that mainstream users demand from web applications. "We simply adore our customers," enthuses Costolo.
In July, FeedBurner announced that it had acquired Blogbeat, a company that does for blogs what FeedBurner's statistical and analytical technology does for feeds. While the Blogbeat integration is just getting underway, expect to see FeedBurner's services lighting up even more digital content all over the internet.
Groxis, Inc.
www.groxis.com
At a time when enterprise users need search tools that extract the most meaningful results across an ever-growing collection of internal and external sources, Groxis goes beyond basic results lists by returning not only what users have come to expect from searches, but also a visual map that illustrates connections between different types of information.
"Part of the problem with conventional search tools is that you generate a static list of results," explains Brian Chadbourne, CEO of Groxis. The innovative mapping feature in Groxis' Grokker EMS product gives users a way to visualize the results, providing a way to see relationship among different information types that just isn't possible with traditional search tools.
Chadbourne sees this as a key differentiator for his company. He says, "Grokker's concise visual presentation enables knowledge workers to discover connections among data sources, explore previously underutilized resources, easily share results with others for collaborative learning, and come to a deeper understanding of the research topic, leading to more actionable results."
When a user enters a search query in Grokker, he is presented with a list of results in outline view organized by subject in one tab and a visualization map in another. The map is organized by outline topic, allowing him to see the documents in each outline category in one high-level view.
Groxis opened its doors in 2001 with the goal of developing visual web-based search tools for the enterprise. The company wants to do more then merely help users find facts. They work towards "facilitating access to essential enterprise knowledge sources and enabling researchers to leverage key digital content for deeper discovery," according to Chadbourne.
It's been a busy year for Groxis. The company secured $4 million in Series B financing, began offering hosted and deployed version of Grokker EMS, and announced it had opened up its connector development program by providing a way for clients to write custom connectors based on the OpenSearch standard. What's more, enterprise search powerhouse Fast Search and Transfer (FAST) integrated Groxis's visual search tools into FAST's enterprise search solution.
As Chadbourne says, "Despite its marketplace ubiquity, the 'search' function is still in a primitive development phase. To answer unmet market, needs constant innovation will be vital to this industry's future." As such, it is going to require more creative approaches like visualization to help workers see the entire knowledge forest, not jus the information trees.

The story behind Cuba's deal to send doctors to Brazil
REUTERS/Ueslei Marcelino
An economic ambassador, as well as a medical one?
By Daniel A. Medina
Published July 16, 2014 This article is more than 2 years old.
Last summer, long before before Brazil was demolished 7-1 by Germany in the World Cup, the country faced a crisis of another sort. Millions of citizens marched in cities across the country to demand wholesale reforms to the country's crippled public health care system, which faced huge shortages of doctors and a failing infrastructure.
That's when the tiny island nation of Cuba stepped in to this neglected area of the world's seventh-largest economy.
Under Brazil's Mais Médicos ("More Doctors") program, which pays foreign physicians to work in underserved areas of the country, Cuba sent 4,500 doctors to rural areas in the Amazon and to the underserved slums known as favelas in its booming cities. The move angered Brazil's doctors' unions, who protested outside hospitals, and the Brazilian Medical Association filed a lawsuit in the country's Supreme Court questioning its existence. Protestors denounced the program as only a temporary solution to a systemic problem, saying the changes should come internally, not by importing doctors.
Brazil currently has 1.9 physicians per thousand people, according to the World Bank, one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios in the world. In the country of roughly 200 million, the disparity is so pronounced that some remote areas have virtually no doctors to serve patients. Cuba, on the other hand, has 6.7 physicians per thousand people, the highest number of doctors in proportion to population in the world, and some of the lowest annual costs for medical care.
Financial rewards for both countries
Despite the lack of popular support, the Mais Médicos program was a win-win for both countries. Cuba received $270 million dollars a year from the Brazilian government, hard currency that Havana desperately needs to ease inflation. The deal further enhanced the prestige of Cuba's long-heralded international medical program, which exports doctors every year to developing countries. And as well as easing its medical crunch, Brazil increased its already privileged access to one of the world's last untapped markets. Cuban president Raúl Castro has in recent years implemented gradual reforms to the state-controlled economy, and Brazil has positioned itself as a major player in the country's redevelopment.
Brazilian exports to Cuba have quadrupled over the past decade to $450 million a year, mostly in agriculture, as the country has become a top food supplier to Havana. But Brazil's most lucrative project in Cuba is a $900-million two-phase modernization of the Port of Mariel by the construction behemoth Odebrecht. Cuba's only deep-water port is located 30 miles north of Havana, and it is there that Cuba will establish a special economic zone that will be open to non-state owned companies. When that happens, Brazilian companies appear to be first in line.
"The project has depended on important financing from the Brazilian government at advantageous terms," said president Castro at a ribbon-cutting ceremony this past January to open the port's first phase. "And it has not only been a great help in building the container terminal, but also in other public works such as highways, networks, rail lines and dredging the bay."
REUTERS/Miraflores Palace Handout
Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff and Cuba's Raúl Castro were all smiles at the port renovation's ribbon-cutting.
An increase in doctors means political rewards for Rousseff
Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff this year faces reelection in what looks likely to be the fight of her life. Corruption, government mismanagement of the economy, and soaring inflation are just some of the problems saddling her administration. Brazilians are also still angry about how much the government spent to host the FIFA World Cup, estimated at $11.3 billion dollars in public spending alone—the most expensive in tournament history. With her eroding popularity, Rousseff's best hope is to reach the poorest Brazilians that have long been the backbone of her Workers Party.
By sending these long-neglected citizens doctors and essential medical care through the Mais Médicos program, she may well reap the benefits at the ballot box. Rousseff has pointed to the program as evidence that she responded to last summer's nationwide protests. And although it has faced some problems, most Brazilians appreciate its results.
Will the program last?
A March nationwide poll showed national approval of the program at 67%. Support is highest in the country's poor northeast, at 72%, where the most doctors are concentrated. In fact, the program has been so popular there that other states are copying it. In the state of Sao Paolo, the leading opposition PSDB (Partido da Democracia Social Brasileira) party has sent doctors into the state's interior to reach its poorest residents.
President Rousseff remains unpopular amongst the country's middle class. That won't matter, however, if she can win the hearts and minds of the poorest Brazilians, who still make up a majority of the electorate.
Dilma, as she is affectionately known amongst her supporters, can only hope that these voters will come out in droves and give her the victory that the Seleção couldn't give the nation on the football pitch. Cuba will be watching, too.

Born into a showbiz family...I was bitten by the "bug" early and started dancing with my big sister, Marrillyn, in our Long Beach garage around age 7. From there...more classes, LBCLO shows ("Music Man", "West Side Story", etc.), and on to Hollywood and pro (tv, film, stage) including the La Rockette Christmas Spectacular and "42nd Street", eventually performing as a motion picture foley artist from 1978-2005 ("The English Patient" winning academy award for best sound). Dance was the base that enabled me to make a living doing what I love. Now in my older years I'm back home at MMSdance tapping and helping to keep my sister's dream alive.


The following story was on Radio Kerry on the 27th January, 2011.
Plans to develop the old Tralee Fenit railway line into a path and cycleway are advancing well.
The project, which is estimated to cost half-a-million-euro, has already received funding from the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.
Funding has also been promised by the Department of Transport, Leader, as well as the local community.
The council is awaiting a proposal from CIE regarding the removal of the track, and following that work will begin on the path.

Odbiór
Recenzent Magazynu "Gitarzysta" docenił, że zespół "idzie (...) ścieżką, którą jest ciągłe poszukiwanie" i że udało mu się połączyć "oldschoolowe elektroniczne brzmienie z motywami żywych gitar i klawiszy, przy zachowaniu jednolitości materiału".

Lesław Dutkowski chwali "wprawę i wyczucie" zespołu w poruszaniu się między gatunkami: "Stylistycznie jest kolorowo niczym na pawim ogonie". Podkreśla rolę Spiętego – autora tekstów: zabawę słowami i "genialnie pokręcone historie"

Na te same cechy zwraca uwagę Jarosław Szubrycht (serwis T-Mobile Music). Akcentuje nieprzewidywalność zespołu, opisując jego najnowsze piosenki stosowną analogią ze świata filmu: "Mniej przypominają komedie Olafa Lubaszenki, na których nie wiedzieć czemu rechotały tłumy, a bardziej skomplikowane formalnie, wydumane światy Terry'ego Gilliama, które cieszą nielicznych. I niekoniecznie kogokolwiek śmieszą. Sam nie wiem, czy to komplement". Jednocześnie stawia tezę, że zespół "ma na Soundtracku sporo do zaoferowania. Kto wie, czy nie najwięcej w swojej dotychczasowej karierze".

Jacek Świąder za pozytywy płyty uznaje piosenki ustawione na "transowych, niemal hiphopowych rytmach": Jestem psem, Już jutro czy 4 piosenki, które pozwalają wyobrazić sobie Lao Che jako "polskie The Roots". Natomiast "próby gitarowe" recenzent uznaje za "dość męczące". Docenia świeżość albumu i "kopnięte" teksty Spiętego, który "zderza słowa, zdania i buduje z nich niepokojące, pulsujące gorączką światy". Podsumowując, zestawia Soundtrack z poprzednimi albumami: "To płyta lepsza od poprzedniej, ale kolejna w cyklu «jesteśmy na rozdrożu». Na prawdziwe «łał» muszę jeszcze poczekać. Na skreślenie Lao Che też jeszcze za wcześnie".

Stewart wins first Cup points race as team owner
Dan Gelston
Tony Stewart won his first Cup points race as a team owner, coming from the rear of the field and taking a late gamble on fuel to win at Pocono Raceway.
The Sprint Cup points leader had to start at the back of Sunday's race because a practice accident forced him into his backup car. Then Stewart figured he could drive the final 41 laps without a pit stop and it paid off, helping snap a 19-race winless streak dating to last season.
Stewart won the All-Star race last month for Stewart-Haas Racing, and this victory again stamped himself as a true threat to win his third Cup title.
"It's just a little different when you're the one that's got to be accountable," Stewart said.
Stewart is the first owner/driver to win a points race since Ricky Rudd at Martinsville in 1998. Carl Edwards was second, followed by David Reutimann, Jeff Gordon and Ryan Newman.
"I didn't think he was going to be a factor," Edwards said of Stewart. "I was sure he was going to run out."
The first Cup points race with double-file restarts finished without a problem. The drivers meeting lasted nearly 30 minutes as last-minute questions were answered on the new restart rules that line up the 43-car field following a yellow.
"I'm sure they'll refine it and make it better, but I think it worked out pretty good," Reutimann said.
After a caution, Stewart led the field to the green flag with 45 laps to go in the 500-mile race. His 6-second lead over Edwards with 10 laps left kept getting whittled away as Stewart eased off the gas and didn't push his car to save fuel.
With a lead in the points standings and a spot in the Chase for the championship all but assured, Stewart could afford to take a risk.
The two-time Cup champion sure knows about taking risks – and having them work out.
Stewart's secret to his fuel strategy?
"I'm not telling," he said, laughing.
Stewart won the race on fumes, but his own operation seems to have plenty of fuel.
He's destroyed all expectations in his first season as owner and driver for SHR. It was the first points victory since he left Joe Gibbs Racing at the end of last year after 10 successful seasons to become co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing.
This was the first points victory for the team since their 2002 debut as Haas CNC Racing.
His second-place finish last week at Dover allowed him to become the first driver/owner to lead the points since Alan Kulwicki won the 1992 Cup championship, a span of 556 races.
Stewart stretched his lead over Gordon in the standings to 71 points.
"The things that he set out to accomplish this year were huge. I personally didn't believe he could get it done," Edwards said. "I'm extremely impressed with that. I can only imagine how good that feels to get that done."
When rain washed out qualifying on Friday, Stewart automatically sat on the pole as the points leader. He called this season one big dream and hoped he didn't wake up and realize it was time to get ready to go to Daytona.
Stewart wrecked his car in practice Saturday, then took some of the fastest laps of the day in his backup. He joked that if he knew the backup was that strong, he would have crashed the first one right away.
Edwards is still looking for his first victory of the season.
"I'll probably be happy later today, but man, to be that close to victory and not win, that was frustrating," he said. "The points are great though. I'll definitely take something good out of this."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. had a tough second week with crew chief Lance McGrew and was 27th. Jimmie Johnson ran out of fuel at the end and finished seventh.
"At the end, we were just playing the fuel game and I didn't play it hard enough," Johnson said.
Reutimann, long a journeyman driver, jumped into 11th place in the Chase standings. Mark Martin fell out of the top 12 with a 19th-place finish.

Paris Day 9: Chanel's New Beginning and Vuitton's Beauty of Controversy
By Gianluca Cantaro
They had to ask Karl Lagerfeld twice before he accepted to take the helm of Chanel in 1983. "Everybody was saying to me to not accept the appointment because it was the impossible mission of reviving a maison. Today, we try to reanimate even the most absurd brands, but at the time there was a need for new names," his voice spoke in an audio clip sent through the speakers before the most awaited show of the season started. This followed one minute of silence. It was a delicate memorial to the iconic Kaiser Karl who transformed something like an irrelevant (at the time) Fashion House into a worldwide empire.

The show represented the end and the beginning of a chapter. The last collection made by him and the first one where he wasn't there. There was Virginie Viard instead, Director of Chanel's Fashion Creation Studio and, mostly, Lagerfeld's closest collaborator for more than 30 years. She has been appointed by Alain Wertheimer, the co-owner, with his brother Gérard, of the maison, to keep on the legacy of Gabrielle Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld.
In light of these emotions, the show and, as with every season, la grandeur of the setting inside the Grand Palais was surprising. This time was a somewhere-in-the-Alps village with Chalet Gardenia (where the models came from), other wooden houses, snow, and a mountain landscape for a 360-degree view.
The collection was delicate and balanced, not overdecorated as it has sometimes been in the past. It seemed the story of a lady going to the mountains for skiing and, after a day on the slopes, she got ready for some aprés ski strolling in the coolest locations. Chanel classics were all there, with bouclé and pied-de-poule in every shape and size, a strong section of knitwear, as well as some sportswear pieces with puffy colourful dawn jackets. The four beautiful evening cloaks were definitely the princess-like must-have items.
Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2019 show in Paris. Photo by Gio Staiano for NOWFASHION.
The cape was one of the key pieces also at Miu Miu. All the classic outerwear for women has been turned into long cloaks: the classic blue redingote, the checks, the British country waxed cotton, the military parka, and the camouflage. This latter was another important theme of the collection and Miuccia Prada gave a precise meaning to it: the symbol of a silent rebellion, a nonviolent protest that is against the world that people are messing up, but also used to protect ourselves and as a motivation to be more wise and politically active. Also, the hiking inspired items and accessories are symbolic of the harmony with nature that society is restlessly destroying. The setting was by Rem Koolhaas' AMO (a comeback after seasons with French creative duo M/M Paris) and has been made in collaboration with New Zealand born Sharna Osborne with the usage of different media that was a kind of a private diary of the artist about an intimate femininity echoed in the collection with girly flowery dresses and prints. The over-conceptualisation of the collection risks being a distraction from the main focus, which is the clothes. The cloaks worn with shorts and thigh highs were very sophisticated yet very girly, but adding layers of concept and styling pushed the result in an unclear direction.
Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2019 show in Paris. Photo by Alessandro Garofalo for NOWFASHION.
Louis Vuitton thought big, as usual, playing the expected game of the power house. This time, they created somewhat of a paradox: building the Centre Pompidou inside the Louvre's Cour Carré where the show took place. Nicolas Ghesquière discusses the concept after the show: "I love the beauty of controversy. The Beaubourg was so disputed and even hated when it was built because of the highly innovative and unforeseen architecture by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers (also Gianfranco Franchini took part in the initial project); it was considered disturbing at the time of the opening in 1977. Now it is an iconic place in Paris and to the rest of the world."
The collection was a clear reference to the 80s when the controversial museum was becoming a reference point. The Patrick Nagel look was unmistakable, as the remix of the leading fashion creators' aesthetic of those years, when fashion was blooming and it was a real territory of experimentation. The constructions on shoulders were the most eye catching tricks, for the frilly dresses and blouses or the rigorous coats and jackets, and the silhouette was often in an hourglass shape. The show was captivating, but the collection showed a lot of good accessories rather than clothes that can display feedback from real life.
Lacoste Fall/Winter 2019 show in Paris. Photo by Gio Staiano for NOWFASHION.
Louise Trotter made her debut as Creative Director at Lacoste presenting a collection that moved away the usual chic sportswear cliché everyone would expect from this brand. Her effortless but sophisticated personal sign was in the flow presented. The beginning of the process was an homage to René Lacoste as champion, inventor (maybe only few know that counted among his inventions is the tennis ball machine), and stylish person. Sequences of color block looks radiated from the collection – from the more natural urban hues to the classic tennis whites, greens, and lemon yellow. The end was a Sacai-ish mix and match of patterns, fabrics, and colours. The overall result was undoubtedly pleasant, and the hope is that we could find those clothes in the stores as it didn't happen with their predecessors. It would be a pity to see such a creative effort for cool clothes starting and ending just on the catwalk.

HomeIran Nuclear Deal : a Geopolitical Earthquake.
Iran Nuclear Deal : a Geopolitical Earthquake.
April 3, 2015 January 18, 2016 James Robertson Iran, Nuclear deal, USAIran, Israel, Nuclear deal, USA
Residents of North Tehran celebrate nuclear deal last night.
April 3rd, 2015. (in Washington D.C April the 2nd)
A Deal to Sign a Deal
As I write these words the US President is announcing that a deal has been made, at least a framework deal has been made with Iran and the West. Sanctions relief will be phased. The deal guarantees no Iran nuke, not that they were actually trying to build a bomb. A framework agreement has been reached, the actual deal has not been signed. The final agreement is scheduled to be signed at the end of June. This is a Geopolitical earthquake event and the aftershocks of this will be felt for decades no matter what happens.
Who is P5+1?
The P5 plus one refers to the permanent five members of the UN Security Council, being the USA, Russia, France, China and the UK, along with Germany.
Images such as these may soon be quaint remnants of history following apparent Nuclear deal.
A Big Day in the History of the Middle East.
It seems very dangerous to announce a framework before signing and gives opponents of the deal to go to work in the controlled media or a third party to attack Iran. They have made a deal but it has not been signed. This day may well prove to be an epoch changing day in the history of the Middle East,. This is one of those moments that appear to crystallise the fact that the geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting in the Middle East.
Yet on another level in another place the actions are more of the same. as it appears the US has undertaken attacks on the Houthis in Yemen, meaning they are simultaneously fighting on at least two sides in the Middle East. A ridiculous position.
This probably marks the end of the period of confrontation, albeit mostly rhetorical, between Iran and the West . The US National Threat Assessment almost entirely removed both Iran and Hezbollah from their lists of groups directly threatening the US.
The Framework deal is a devastating blow to the World War 3 plot.
Out in the Cold.
This is a devastating blow to both Israel and Saudi Arabia, intent as both seem to have been on causing the US to attack Iran. The positions of traditional allies Israel, Saudi Arabia and to a lesser extent Turkey appear to now be almost completely at odds with the US position in the region, at least the public version.
They appear to have been left behind almost. It is becoming clear, although only on an intuitive level, that the Saudi Government is going to be under severe attack from their own jihadist Frankenstein in the near future. It may not happen. Israel has now almost seemingly failed in it's "dark goal" as World War 3 device. Decades of hard work have come to nothing.
Israel is not going to be violently destroyed. The hordes are never coming. They never were. That was why Israel almost always (1973 October war aside) had to play the aggressor role.
It was very interesting to watch the Israeli PM's speech in response to this event. Netanyahu described the deal itself as a threat to Israel's existence.He also claimed that Iran was currently engaged in attempt to destroy Israel with military force, a fanciful claim even by the Netanyahu standard.
The funny thing is that on a parallel level Netanyahu spoke at least part of the truth. The impending Nuclear deal between Iran and the West (plus Russia and China) threatens to put Israel out of business. Not out of the building a state business but out of the starting World War 3 business.
It genuinely seems to me that Israel was always to be the World War 3 device. My understanding having looked into it is that the contents of the Albert Pike-Guiseppe Mazzini "Three World Wars" letter were fabricated in the 1950s. Regardless. it seems to fit the known current facts. It looks like they wanted to use Israel to destroy the Muslim world Really destroy it and at the same time they wanted Israel to be violently destroyed in the same exchange. in whole or in part.
Then the real Third Temple will emerge from the Ashes of the Jewish State at a time that monotheism in general will be discredited by the engineered middle east apocalypse that will be depicted as a religious war but will actually be more like a decades in the making Bankers plot. The World War Three letter is a little bit like the Protocols, they may have been a fabrication at the time, but it seems someone found the program that is actually being implemented in there amongst the clearly doctored and directed document.
The fact of a document's authenticity becomes academic when it is actually being implemented.
In order to achieve the apparent goal, Israel required an enemy capable of destroying it and Iran is the only state in the Middle East that remotely fits the bill. Without Iran as the enemy it will be very hard for them and they may have to try and look for Pakistan or another party as a new protagonist for their big final war.
Other than at least having Nuclear weapons and domestic militants, Pakistan is not close enough to Israel, is too pragmatic, has too many friends and it doesn't make sense. If Iran leaves the game, makes peace with the West diplomatically speaking, the whole project will be facing failure. A failure so profound that even false flags may not be enough to save it.
North Tehranis celebrate the nuclear deal.
Eyes on the Energy Prize.
This is about money as well as avoiding war. The Iran Oil infrastructure is decades old. The men from the Corporations want to build them new ones and boost production. Their billions appear temporarily at least to have trumped the other billions pouring in from the Israel lobby who will clearly immediately set about trying to destroy any deal.
A Bad Day for the World War Three Plotters.
This could be one of the decisive days that sees that World War Three does not take place, at least not in the Middle East. Unless it starts within the next three months, which seems unlikely but not impossible by any means.
This deal may have averted a war that would cost millions of lives. It's still tentative, unconfirmed, but this is a geopolitical earthquake.
Despite the US's bizarre support for the Saudi/Gulf rampage in Yemen, and a lot of strange events in Iraq, the US in Iraq and Syria of far greater importance than Yemen, the US is on the same side as Iran, Iraq, Syria and Hezbollah. This deal is a devastating blow to the Neoconservatives, the Israel lobby and the war party who have had maniacs aplenty in the controlled media calling for Iran to be bombed in recent weeks. Champion war monger and all round buffoon John Bolton called for bombs on Iran in the New York Times, he may get his way, but it seems almost impossible now that the bombs will come from American jets.
Switzerland: All nuclear-related sanctions on Iran to be dropped – Mogherini
'Israel will try everything possible to undermine Iran nuclear deal'
Preempting the inevitable, even Netanyahu seemed somewhat deflated as quoted here by the Guardian.
ohn Kerry on Iran nuclear talks: agreement is a 'solid foundation' – live updates | World news | The Guardian
http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/apr/02/iran-talks-framework-deal-announcement-eu-live
"Demanding that the international community "significantly" roll back Iran's nuclear program, he vowed to fight the agreement in the coming months."
"Any deal must significantly roll back Iran's nuclear capabilities and stop its terrorism and aggression," Netanyahu said on Twitter, minutes before the announcement from Lausanne."
"Netanyahu has said he believes that the deal will leave Iran just months away from the point where it could make a nuclear bomb. He has also pointed to Iran's support for Islamic militants across the region and its development of long-range missiles as cause for concern."
Israel's Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz, who oversees the monitoring of the nuclear program, said the deal was "disconnected from the sad reality" of the region. Earlier Steinitz had hinted strongly that Israel was still considering a military option as a last resort – although most analysts in Israel regard that as unlikely and opposed by many in Israel's security establishment.Following Thursday's announcement, Iran and the world powers are expected to work out the details of a final deal by the end of June. Since the declaration is far from being a real agreement, we will continue in our efforts to explain and persuade the world in the hope of preventing a bad agreement, or at least to insert corrections and improvements," Steinitz said."
They were all sounding terribly deflated. Perhaps it's jackal time for them? Probably not.
Israel: Deal must include Iranian commitment to Israel's right to exist – PM Netanyahu
This is the long press conference.
LIVE: Zarif, Mogherini speak to press following Iran nuclear talks
Explanation of P5.
There are fifteen members of the Security council, the permanent five all have veto power, the non permanent other ten members do not have veto power, and are voted in for limited terms that are largely ceremonial. The P5 by contrast, are always members no vote required. The veto is a big deal, because only the states with veto power can single handedly carry the fate of Security Council resolutions. Which can technically make war legal. Membership was allocated in the late 1940s it was carved up at the end of World War Two between the victors, and for some reason, France.

Thanks Dan and you make several good points there. The specific form of bizarre I was thinking of was for example fighting al Qaeda and IS in Syria and Iraq while supporting that side in Yemen, at least al Qaeda who are fighting the Houthis in Southern Yemen, At one level though i am sure you are right, the military men and military industrial complex do not care what the target really is, so long as they can use the weapons up and need to constantly buy more. Thanks for commenting Dan.

Van Riemsdyk scores first goal as Blackhawks stave off Sharks
Share All sharing options for: Van Riemsdyk scores first goal as Blackhawks stave off Sharks
Corey Crawford was insulted by the question. He was insulted by the very idea that the Blackhawks were in such a fragile mental state that when a three-goal lead dwindled to one in the second period Sunday night against San Jose, they briefly might have thought to themselves, "Here we go again."
"No," he said following a 5-2 victory over the Sharks, shooting a glare at the reporter before repeating himself a little louder. "No."
The Hawks are feeling just fine, thank you. The confidence is not shot, the panic has not set in. It helps that this time, they held on. This time, they righted the ship. And this time, maybe they allayed the fears of a fretful fan base just a bit.
"It was a good win in the fact that we grabbed the momentum in the first, then we lost it in the second," defenseman Duncan Keith said. "The best thing about it is we were able to fight through that and gain the momentum back. We can use that as we go forward."
The victory, and the style in which they earned it, helped the Hawks put behind them the ugly manner in which they squandered a 2-0 lead in a 3-2 loss to Washington at home on Friday night. It was a good game, not a complete game. But maybe it was more valuable that way.
"Discount the five minutes in the second period against Washington and a stretch in the second period tonight," Joel Quenneville said. "And in our last five or six games, for the most part, we're almost there. Nailing it is a work in progress. We're close to getting there, and the complete game is within our grasp."
The Hawks built their lead from the back end, getting goals from Trevor van Riemsdyk, Brent Seabrook and Niklas Hjalmarsson in a span of just 2:34. It was the first time three Hawks defensemen scored in a period since Nov. 27, 1992.
For van Riemsdyk, it was his first NHL goal. At least, for now. Quenneville thought Kris Versteeg got a piece of it, and a scoring change could be coming in the morning. But van Riemsdyk savored the milestone all the same.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cFWN25cl14&w=560&h=315]
"Yeah, it was a pretty cool moment," he said. "I shot it and actually didn't even know if it was mine or not. I heard it hit something kind of halfway through and I saw a bunch of our guys in front. I thought it might have gone off one of them. Found out it was mine, and it was pretty special."
Seabrook's goal was a welcome one, too, coming off the heels of his ill-timed pinch on Friday that triggered Washington's comeback. Seabrook found himself dropped to the third pairing alongside David Rundblad, while van Riemsdyk played with Keith on the top pairing.
But less than a minute after Hjalmarsson made it 3-0, Joe Pavelski redirected a Justin Braun shot to cut the deficit to 3-1 — the third goal in an 82-second span — to stem the Hawks' momentum and keep the game within reach. Pavelski cut it to 3-2 early in the second period with a power-play goal, and the Sharks, who were outshot 20-9 in the first period alone and who played a night earlier in Dallas, controlled play for the rest of the period.
A Crawford (32 saves) stop on a Barclay Goodrow breakaway allowed the Hawks to get to the third period still up, and another Crawford stop on Patrick Marleau preserved the lead until Bryan Bickell scored at 15:18 of the third and Jonathan Toews added an empty-netter.
"It was good to hold on there," van Riemsdyk said. "It was nice to hold on and pull out a victory here at home."
