The roots of radicalization of Islam
Reply to ThreadDisplaying 1 - 15 of 31 1 2 3 Next
With the massacre at Charlie Hebdo and the subsequent hostage situations of yesterday there has been no shortage of opinions by politicians and journalists as to causes of the radicalization of young people to commit such horrific acts. I have listened to opinions on MSNBC by a host of so called experts and have scrolled through Media Matters to see what Fox New pundits as well are saying. Most all of them are very short term in their thinking. Then I found this article by Mark LeVine in AlJazeera this morning that made more sense, at least to me.
Mark LeVine, AlJazeera, January 10, 2014: Why Charlie Hebdo attack is not about Islam
LeVine goes back 130 years to where it all begin...with colonialism. "It's no mere coincidence that at least two of the Charlie Hebdo attackers are reportedly of Algerian descent and the third from Senegal. France's 1830 invasion of Algeria began a 130-year odyssey of murder, expropriation, racism, exploitation and misrule that only ended after a vicious anti-colonial struggle costing well over one million Algerian lives."
The story of the modern Muslim world, with a few exceptions, is one of generations of European rule and the "collective wound of colonialism" in which the western world's thirst for oil resulted in coddling of local despots who were only too happy to cycle trillions of dollars back and forth between them through oil and arms sales, finance and heavy industry...a cycle that has concentrated wealth and power to a very few.
LeVine concludes, "If Charlie Hebdo reminds us of anything it is that the arc of blowback can stretch for decades, growing more uncontrollable as the political, economic, social and technological chaos of the contemporary world increases."
I have excerpted just a few lines from LeVine's article above, but I recommend reading the entire article. It's the only one that I have found that more accurately describes the deep roots of the radicalization of many in the Muslim world. Blowback is the right word.

Schmidt; yes. However the worst kind of "colonialism" is done right now by the US; like bombing/droning countries where we never had a "colony" like Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan, Mali, Syria, Pakistan border etc etc. Don't you think that this will give an enormous boost to combine the effects of "colonialism with "hatred" and "revenge" because of our "rule the world" actions?
Dutch -- Yes, whether it's European colonialism or American "imperialism" it's basically the same thing...exerting our military might ostensibly to "make the world safe for democracy" but in reality to ensure that our corporations can extract their wealth. Many of the young unemployed youth, not only in these countries but also in their western colonial countries, are looking to radicalized Islam as western capitalism and it's implicit racism have failed them.

Schmidt, I'm so surprised about our world politics; the 9/11 event should have opened our eyes; that "revenge" mostly has an escalating effect, like it did cost us "double" the military's life's than the 9/11 thing and are still loosing lives and lots of resources right now, which we could have spent on better things. Our politicians never think ahead. Naive and "self" centered. This will affect this country for years to come.

Thanks for sharing the article. It is a breath of fresh air to actually see some in-depth reporting on something as complex as this tragedy.
The sentence about the blowback stretching on for decades is telling and something we need to prepare ourselves for. The radicalization of Islam is something that will take a very long time to work itself out. I've read more than a few pieces drawing parallels between what is going in the Muslim world right now and the Thirty Years War the Christians fought in the 1600's. Hopefully they will be able to sort things out before 8,000,000 people are killed...

Schmidt,
Thanks for sharing this article. I have found myself watching Aljazeera America quite a bit recently. I kind of gave up on MSNBC.........I'm not sure why but I just don't go there any more. Aljazeera and CNN are what I mostly watch.
Tony Johnson Wrote: Schmidt,
Tony, CNN is also very "controlled" they have the habbit to repeat and repeat; a kind of indoctrination. I noticed already a long time ago that the European news is much more "real" news without all the "fringes" and hype. They give it as it comes don't repeat over and over and show the "whole" tape; no cutting and pasting.
Jared -- Thanks for the Wiki article on the Thirty Years War. What I found interesting is that although it started out as a religious war between Protestants and Catholics, it eventually became less about religion and more about the continuation of the France - Habsburg rivalry for European political pre-eminence. In other words religious ideology gave way to tribalism.
Extrapolating that to current day youth of different ethnicities and religions in Europe (or America for that matter), I really don't see them identifying so much with the strict ideology of the religion, in this case some branch of Islam, but rather the social acceptance that the religion offers. Those youth that feel marginalized by French society (or any other country) will seek out venues for like minded people and that often is a religious institution, but in the case of the USA could also be gangs. I say this because from what I have read, those youth joining up with ISIS, for example, are often totally ignorant of much of the underlying religious basis for their doctrine, which in the case of ISIS is an extreme radical form of Wahhabism that most Muslims abhor.
So while we like to point the finger at radical Islam, their ability to recruit actors for their crusade is less about the radical religious beliefs they are selling and more about the recruits themselves not being accepted into the society in which they were born.

This is why I have stated that it is not about religion but about politics. Religion is used both by those who engage in political violence and for internal agitprop consumption to stir up the surveillance state and hatred/fear of "the other."
There was "On real time with Bill Maher" a few great pieces. First of all "If you have "bad" apples; then there is something wrong with the orchard.
Also he said: There are no "great" religions, all are stupid and dangerous ! Wow. That is why freedom of speech is a fantastic tool.
I could not agree more. "Je suis Charly"
lonely bird -- Yes it is hard to separate the religion from the politics. Iran and Saudi Arabia are examples of where the state and the religion are the same. They both use fear to keep the masses in check and hold onto their power. Punishment is ruthlessly applied, and that punishment in the form of 1,000 lashes or beheadings is meant to keep their people in a continual state of fear. Are the "morality police" of Iran and Saudi Arabia really any different than the SAVAK secret police under the Shah of Iran? They have different targets (morality police target women more generally) but both use fear and punishment to hold onto power...or as you put it a "surveillance state based on the hatred/fear of the other".
In the USA, the Christian evangelicals (Fundamentalists), while certainly not engaging in the type of repulsive overt actions displayed by Islamic states, none the less would establish by laws their own brand of morality on the populace if they were given the power by the voters.

This is a very interesting point. I also would point out the terrible economic situation for countless young people throughout Europe right now. The unemployment rate for Muslims in France is hovering around twenty percent, which is twice the national average. A poor and angry youth who thinks the world is against them is a dangerous individual.
Jared -- Yes, and it's not only Europe, but the lack of employment and opportunities for young people throughout the Middle East. The Arab Spring had more than one catalyst, but disenchanted youth was perhaps the principle driver as this AlJazeera study suggests. There are differences between countries, however, and Muslim identity (except Egypt) could perhaps be considered a form of tribalism that united the youth to come together to protest. The study did not differentiate between Islam in general and radical Islam.

Mahindra PH previews Enforcer pickup, Xylo AUV
Meet PNP's upcoming police fleet
by Martin Aguilar
Columbian Autocar Corporation, the official distributor of Mahindra vehicles in the country, has previewed the Enforcer pickup and the Xylo AUV to the League of Municipalities of the Philippines at the Manila Hotel.
The highlight of the event was Mahindra's police fleet composed of the customized Enforcer pickups that would be turned over to the Philippine National Police (PNP) starting next month.
Mahindra President Felix Mabilog Jr. said that a total of 1,470 Enforcers amounting to PhP 1.3 billion are set to be delivered to the PNP from May to September 2015.
The company added that they will also be bringing a commercial version of the Enforcer which would be available in 4x4 or 4x2 along with a double or single cab configuration. The Enforcer is powered by a 2.5-liter turbodiesel engine that delivers 101 PS at 3800 rpm and 240 Nm of torque at 1800 rpm. The engine is mated to five-speed manual. However, Mahindra has yet to disclose the Enforcer's retail price.
On the other hand, Mahindra has also showed the Xylo AUV which is set to rival the Toyota Innova. It comes with three different seat configurations which allow the Xylo to have a maximum of 9 occupants.
In terms of power, the Xylo is motivated by a 2.2-liter mHawk turbodiesel engine that produces 121 PS at 4000 rpm and 280 Nm of torque between 1800 to 2800 rpm. Mabilog said that the Xylo would be priced around PhP 800,000.

A colleague of ICICI Bank CEO Chanda Kochhar says she is so capable that she could even command an army.
Dressed in a deep pink bandhni sari, her hair impeccable as usual, she walks in for the meeting tall and straight, with an easy air of confidence. Her colleagues say that every minute of her day is accounted for, from the time it takes her to walk to the lift, to the time she spends with investors, clients, colleagues, and even the occasional journalist.
Chanda Kochhar, Managing Director and CEO of ICICI Bank, India's largest private sector bank, could even "command an army", according to its Chief Human Resources Officer, N. Ramkumar, who has worked with her for 10 years.
ICICI Bank head Chanda Kochhar says the award pushes her to work harder.
Kochhar joined ICICI in 1984 as a management trainee. She was 22, and ICICI was still the Industrial Credit & Investment Corporation of India (ICICI Bank was formed in 1994). The man who hired her, Managing Director and CEO K.V. Kamath, remembers being impressed by her focus.
For Kochhar, making inroads in a maledominated field was a challenge. ICICI was then a development finance institution that lent to companies. "It was not easy to visit a factory," she says. "There was a lot of social pressure - people didn't expect a young girl could check machines."
Sitting in her functional yet elegant office in Mumbai's Bandra-Kurla Complex, the hub of the financial services industry, she talks about the values she grew up with: integrity and perfection. These are just two of the attributes that have made her one of the country's most capable business leaders. Kochhar's achievement is all the more remarkable, considering her father died when she was 13. Three years later, the family moved from Jaipur to Mumbai. Years later, as a hard-nosed banker, she would buy one of the largest banks in her home state - the Bank of Rajasthan. Despite 30 years in Mumbai, she cherishes her Rajasthani heritage, as her bandhni sari suggests.
What drives her steely determination to get what she wants? She says: "My passion lies in the pursuit of excellence - can I do it very well, better than others?" Kamath recalls the time when Kochhar was given charge of corporate banking, in 1993. "This was the first time ICICI had to meet clients. She set up, for the first time, client relationships. And the annual target I had set, she achieved in the first quarter."
For the seemingly conservative Kochhar, the climb to the CEO's office was arduous. Not only did she fight one of the toughest succession battles in corporate India, she also steered the bank through one of the biggest downturns in recent history, taking the helm in May 2009.
Chief Financial Officer N.S. Kannan, an old-timer at the bank, points out that the 2008 global financial crisis led to a Rs1,050-crore decline in ICICI Bank's profit after tax for 2008/09. In December 2008, Kochhar, then Joint Managing Director and group CFO, was named Kamath's successor. "She did not lose her composure for even a day," says Kannan.
Kochhar, who says she believes in "recognising challenge in its entirety, and taking it head on", led a quick turnaround. She consulted her core team and worked out a new strategy. The 4C strategy - cost, credit, CASA (current account and saving account) ratio, and capital - marked a significant shift from ICICI Bank's strategy of powering its growth with retail loans.
Within a few months of taking up the top job, she managed to get the board's approval for the strategy without much trouble. The decision-making process was democratic, and after the strategy was finalised, it was explained to every employee. Kochhar's first big step as CEO worked.
The bank reported a 30 per cent jump in profit for the first quarter of 2011/12, and expects to maintain its net interest margin - a key measure of profitability - at 2.6 per cent for the year. At a time when most lenders have reported a drop in interest margins, Kochhar's script has played out on cue.
Her colleagues say she wastes no time in taking crucial decisions - she decides and gets on with the job. In 2000, Kochhar, who was only 36 then, was asked to move out of corporate banking - which she had built into a big revenue earner - to head the fledgling retail division. Kamath, who recommended her for the job, says she was concerned about her own lack of retail banking experience, and needed some convincing. And although it was a tough decision, she took only a day to make it.
Soon after she took charge of the retail business, it became a leader in its segment. She says matter-of-factly: "New tasks will be unknown. You learn, grow and evolve." Kochhar has balanced family and work for three decades. "You often feel as if you are walking a tightrope," she says. "Demands do not go up or down - they are constantly there. Often, you feel you are doing too much."
An intensely private person, she has just one family memento in her office - a framed painting by her daughter Aarti Kochhar. Her eyes light up, and her businesslike demeanour vanishes briefly, as she says: "My daughter is extremely proud of me."

In the year 2031, a robot probe detects traces of biological activity on Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons. This sensational discovery shows that there is indeed evidence of extraterrestrial life. Fifteen years later, a hurriedly built spacecraft sets out on the long journey to the ringed planet and its moon. The international crew is not just facing a difficult twenty-seven months: if the spacecraft manages to make it to Enceladus without incident it must use a drillship to penetrate the kilometer-thick sheet of ice that entombs the moon. If life does indeed exist on Enceladus, it could only be at the bottom of the salty, ice covered ocean, which formed billions of years ago.
However, shortly after takeoff disaster strikes the mission, and the chances of the crew making it to Enceladus, let alone back home, look grim. From internationally best-selling hard science fiction author Brandon Q. Morris comes a new novel for hard science fiction enthusiasts. As a physicist and space specialist, Morris describes the journey of the international expedition through the hostile vacuum of space, using the latest scientific findings and technology trends as his inspiration. This isn't a 'What If' story, this is a 'When Will' story.

Bayley to the middle rope. Bayley cuts her off and hits a super Belly to Bayley, but then gets rolled up and eliminated by Alexa! We're down to Bliss and Banks.
Bliss quickly covers Sasha but only gets two.
Alexa goes for Twisted Bliss but the knees are up. It used to be called the Sparkle Splash when she was a fairy in NXT.
Sasha with some knees on a seated Bliss like she's Jeremy Stephens. Bliss manages to avoid one though and Sasha gets caught up on the cage and laid out.
Alexa climbing again. Gets on the pod. Hits Twisted Bliss on a standing Sasha, but she rolls through and gets the Banks Statement! Sasha rolls her into the ring but Alexa fights her way out. Well worked spot.
Sasha decides she's climbing now. Before she gets there though Alexa cuts her off and hits Randy Orton's DDT from the top rope this time for the pin and the win!
Match went almost half an hour. Nicely put together.
Alexa Bliss is crying she's so happy. What a babyface. Renee interviews her. The fans chant "you deserve it." What a touching moment. She says "thank you, and then cuts the best babyface promo of all time saying it's for all the little girls who've dreamed about it. And then says "none of you will ever accomplish your dreams." She is the best. What an outstanding promo.
Arguably the best promo in the history of women's wrestling and I'm being serious. That was phenomenal.

What a Feeling! Catch Flashdance the Musical this April in Nice
Break out the leg warmers and get ready to relive the 80's! Yes, Flashdance the Musical is coming to Nice this April!
Back in 1983, a little film about Alex Owens, a working class girl who works as a steel mill welder by day and a bar dancer at night, while dreaming of becoming a ballerina, became a surprise hit and a pop phenomenon that helped launch Jennifer Beals' acting career.
Now more than 30 years later, the leg warmers, off-the-shoulder sweatshirts and big hairdos are back as Flashdance the Musical is coming to the Nikaia in Nice for one night only at 5pm on Sunday, 10th of April.
This version actually premiered in England in 2008 and has enjoyed much success as a touring show since 2013.
Based on the book by Robert Cary and Tom Hedley, who produced the story and co-wrote the movie screenplay, it includes the much beloved hits such as Michael Sembello's "Maniac," Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'n Roll," Karen Karmon's "Manhunt" and Irene Cara's "What a Feeling", as well as 16 additional songs written specifically for the show… And of course, the unforgettable water-splash dance and the iconic final audition scene whose moves have been imitated in videos by the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Gerri Halliwell.
Just like the screen version, Flashdance the Musical is full of energy with an athletic cast, electrifying dance numbers and a set design inspired by the gritty urban glory of 1980s-era Pittsburgh streets to tell a familiar story of creativity, perseverance and friendship.
Musicals based on popular, hit movies have been the trend lately from Dirty Dancing to Bodyguard and while some are mediocre at best, Flashdance thrives at being a wonderful tribute to an era where everything still seemed possible, with a message that speaks to all: No matter what, never give up on your dreams!
Tickets range in price from 30€ to 56€ and can be purchased through all the usual outlets or reserved online.

Attending to Inmates' Basic Public Health Needs
Sage Kim, PhD, Timothy Jostrand, Ali Mirza and Robin Fretwell Wilson, JD | Posted on July 06, 2020
The Cermak Health Service provides healthcare to the detainees at the Cook County Department of Corrections.
Commentary text
Inmates are in the state's special custody while they are incarcerated; they do not have the ability to seek care on their own.41 A landmark 1976 case,Estelle v. Gamble, established that inmates have the right to adequate medical care while incarcer- ated, and failure to provide medical care may be the basis for federal constitutional violations, such as the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.42
Medical malpractice claims brought by Illinois inmates against the vendor that provides their care for not promptly diagnosing or treating them have resulted in settlements and jury awards of millions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages. In 2019, a unanimous jury found that not referring an inmate for a CT scan for nearly four months after blood appeared in his urine allowed his "kidney cancer to metastasize to his liver" and constituted deliberate indifference, violating the man's Eighth Amendment rights, in addition to constituting medical malpractice.43 In that case, defendants have asked for a new trial or that the jury award be reduced, so the outcome is not yet clear.44 However, settled cases also reveal inmates who have had conditions that would have been treatable, if properly diagnosed.45
Court cases can take years to litigate to completion, as shown by both the Eighth Amendment case discussed above and the Consent Decree we discuss next. Moreover, the standard for prevailing is a diffi- cult one, requiring that a need be serious and that prison officials had personal knowledge of a risk and yet consciously disregarded it.46
Importantly, nearly a decade of private litigation about poor health care in Illinois correctional facilities yielded a Consent Decree in January 2019. It can serve a valuable role with COVID-19. As we noted above, inmates and staff today are at risk of inadequate testing, prevention, and treatment of COVID-19 infection.47 In the Consent Decree, IDOC agreed to the naming of a court-appointed monitor to oversee IDOC's system for meeting the health care needs of its inmate population.48 Court-appointed experts in that litigation had concluded that deaths of inmates in state custody were sometimes preventable.49
The Consent Decree requires IDOC to "implement sufficient measures, consistent with the needs of Class Members, to provide adequate medical and dental care to those incarcerated in [IDOC] with serious medical or dental needs. Defendants shall ensure the availability of necessary services, sup- ports and other resources to meet those needs."50
Here, a survey conducted by the prison watchdog John Howard Association in early May found that more than 13 percent of inmates surveyed indicated they had tried to get medical care because of COVID-19 in the prior week but received "no response."51 Only 2.7 percent indicated they asked and staff responded.52
One of the issues with IDOC's healthcare provi- sion leading up to the Consent Decree was that a non-clinical correctional administrator served as a health authority for the IDOC healthcare program.53 The Consent Decree mandates that IDOC recognize the Office of Health Services' Chief of Health Service, a board-certified physician, as the health authority with ultimate "control and over- sight over health care delivery."54 The Consent Decree also contemplates a set of health screening and immunization protocols; for obvious reasons, coronavirus is not mentioned but precautions against the virus are surely within the Consent Decree's spirit.55 The steps contemplated by these reforms are critical given that the proportion of IDOC inmates over age 50 "has increased as the population has quadrupled during the last three decades."56 The aging inmate population is at risk for poor COVID-19 outcomes.57
The Consent Decree also directs IDOC to perform mortality reviews to "identify any deficiencies in the delivery of care and initiate corrective actions for those aspects that require improvement."58 The monitor's first report after the Consent Decree noted the importance of mortality reviews:
"Performing detailed mortality reviews is a resource intensive but vital component of a Quality Improvement Program."59 It is crucial to "critique the timeliness and quality of the care provided by the IDOC; … to identify any elements of the health care that could be improved and … note any action plans."60
Reviewing "selected categories of deaths for the purpose of identifying opportunities to improve the access and quality of care provided to the deceased patient-inmates" is the gravamen of mortality reviews.61 This crucial step is urgently needed to understand how best to contain this pandemic behind bars. In November 2019, however, the monitor identified a "backlog" of mortality reviews.62
Social distancing and frequent handwashing are difficult to implement in the sometimes over- crowded and unsanitary conditions of correctional facilities,63 yet these are critical interventions to reduce transmission. Availability of soap and hand sanitizer is an important mitigation strategy.
In mid-March, the week before IDOC's first confirmed case, news outlets reported that inmates at the Stateville Correctional Center had not received hand sanitizer and "that prison authorities are not passing out cleaning supplies."64
The John Howard Association suggests these basic needs for mitigating the risk of COVID-19 remained largely unmet months into the pandemic. Its survey of inmates at all but two IDOC facilities during the weeks of April 24 and May 3 found that more than a third (35 percent) said they did not have "enough soap to regularly wash [their] hands in the last week," and nearly half (46 percent) reported getting no "cleaning chemicals from IDOC to clean [their] cell/sleeping area."65
Foundational public health measures to mitigate risk, such as supplies for adequate handwashing, should be a given for all persons. The Consent Decree has charged IDOC with "implement[ing] sufficient measures, consistent with the needs of Class Members, to provide adequate medical care," which should encompass basic measures of cleanliness when needed to avoid contagion.66
Many non-profit organizations are partnering with IDOC to deliver hand sanitizer and soap to Illinois correctional facilities.67 For instance, the Illinois Coalition of Higher Education in Prisons worked with a Peoria-based distillery to "solicit donations that will fund an effort to bring hand sanitizer into the state's prisons and into the hands of a population uniquely at-risk of contracting COVID-19 because of an inability to socially distance." Ensuring adequate access to soap and hand sanitizer is an achievable action that can reduce COVID-19 trans- mission within correctional facilities. A public-private collaborative resiliency network could help coordinate mitigation efforts.68
Some urge Illinois to test all inmates for antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19, as Ohio does, arguing that it would give inmates and their families peace of mind to know if they have weathered a past infection.69 As noted earlier, antibody tests don't confirm whether an individ- ual could continue to spread the virus, and the presence of antibodies may not be insurance against contracting the virus again. These factors may give a false sense of security, leading to less self-protection in practice.

Though EA is all about engineering the enterprise, which is primarily the business side of the architecture, it emerged and evolved with IT in the last decade or may be since little earlier than that. The EA role is like a swiss army knife, to craft the enterprise IT needs including infrastructure, hardware and software.
In the Software Development perspective, it will be Solution Architect or Technical Architect and the parameters will vary by project. Solution Architect's role is confined within the project's / product's constraints and SA is expected to determine the most appropriate technical solution for the given business problem / requirement confined within the customer's enterprise IT infrastructure / needs.
This will require the Architect to have high degree of understanding of the business domain of the enterprise and in addition should be highly knowledgeable in diversified Technologies, so as to choose the best solution. The SA / EA should also be a continuous learner and shall keep abreast of the technology happenings and keep an eye on the future. This will also require the Architect to be good enough in adopting the technology to suit the business needs.
This blog post has been created couple of years ago. I recently happened to participate in the Enteprise & IT Architecture Global excellence Awards 2012 and was amazed with the participation from various industries and from all over the world. The list of participants are listed in their website and the winners would also be published there soon. It was interesting to note that government and public sector organizations also are practicing EA within their organization and are reaping the benefits.
"Unfortunately, while EA has been successful in some target markets in the Early Majority (like Telecom and Federal), the lack of consistency in the approach, terminology, and even value proposition of EA across industries poses an obstacle for increasing EA adoption. In other words, the success of EA in one or two areas is failing to help EA gain a foothold among other industries. Could it be because they don't use the same words to describe success?"
Enterprise Architecture is poorly defined by a wide array of discordant opinions, overlapping and industry-specific frameworks.
Enterprise Architecture is hobbled by an inability to build momentum among Early Majority companies on the adoption curve.
Enterprise Architecture has responded by focusing on the wrong set of problems: describing short-term-quick-win initiatives using methods and tools designed to produce long-term value.


Abstract Lighthouses are an endearing symbol of our nation's nautical past. However, these structures are quickly disappearing from the landscape and with them often go their history and the important part that they played in the development of the United States. The stories of the men and women who cared for these structures during their times of use are also lost. This thesis examines the often overlooked role of the female lighthouse keeper. Female keepers were women who took on a traditionally masculine position. They held a government job and performed intense physical labor at a time when women were considered incapable of such jobs. This study examines the history of individual female lighthouse keepers and the contributions they made within the context of maritime history and public policy, as these issues related to American and British society over the last 200 years. It also considers the effects that governmental changes had on these women and what role they have played in popular culture both in the past and today.

Twitter lawyers up to force through Musk deal. Will it work?
Social media platform Twitter is reportedly looking to file a lawsuit as early as this week against Telsa CEO Elon Musk after he announced his intention to pull out of the $44 billion deal to acquire the social media giant on July 8.
Bloomberg reported on July 10 that the company has hired corporate law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and will bring the case to the Delaware Court of Chancery, a non-jury trial court that deals with corporate law in the state of Delaware.
However, it's unclear whether the potential lawsuit will eventually end up with Musk purchasing the platform, either at the previously agreed price, at a re-negotiated price, or not at all.
Last week, Twitter chairman Bret Taylor pledged to pursue legal action against Musk for trying to pull out of the deal, stating the board is "committed to closing the transaction" as previously agreed and planned to pursue legal action "to enforce the merger agreement."
However, some believe that Musk's move to terminate the deal could just be another tactic to renegotiate the terms of the pricey agreement.
Accelerate Financial founder and CEO Julian Klymochko told his 24,200 Twitter followers on July 8 that a negotiated settlement will be the "most likely outcome."
It may take a while to play out, and will likely be quite entertaining, but I believe a negotiated settlement will be the most likely outcome
If not a reduced price of >$45.00, then a negotiated break fee that is >$3 billion out of Elon's pocket
12/https://t.co/59b4uLTOpH
— Julian Klymochko.eth (@JulianKlymochko) July 9, 2022
Angelo Zino, an analyst at CFRA Research made a similar prediction to non-profit media organization NPR on July 10 that there would be "no chance" for the deal to be put through at $54.20 per share as previously agreed.
"You're either going to see a 15 to 20% drop in the offer price to get Elon Musk engaged again, or he continues to play the bot card," he said.
The billionaire struck the deal to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share on April 25, but the platform's share price has fallen 32.1% since then, down to $36.81 per share at the time of writing.
Musk also has an avenue to pull out of the deal but will be slapped with a $1 billion "termination fee" payable to Twitter, according to the initial Securities and Exchange Commission filing submitted on April 25.
Crypto Twitter weighs in
Musk's decision to step away from owning Twitter has mainly been seen as a negative by the platform's crypto community, who supported his plans to remove all spam and scam bot accounts from the micro-blogging platform.
I'm glad Musk isn't going to run Twitter but that means we have to face an even uglier problem: the people who currently run Twitter.
— Matthew Green (@matthew_d_green) July 9, 2022
A poll from crypto trading platform OKX on July 8 found that 38.8% of respondents said Musk terminating his bid would be bad for Crypto Twitter due to the proliferation of spam bots. However, the majority, 40.4%, said they didn't care.
BREAKING: @elonmusk is terminating his bid for @Twitter. Is this good or bad for our beloved #crypto Twitter?
— OKX (@okx) July 8, 2022
Others have pledged their hopes that Musk could use the funds to instead "bail out the crypto industry instead" amid the long-running crypto winter.
Since @elonmusk has terminated the $44 Billion Dollar Twitter deal maybe he can bail out the crypto industry instead
— WendyO.eth✨ (@CryptoWendyO) July 8, 2022
Elon Musk's intention to end the $44 billion Twitter deal was sent as a letter to the Twitter board on Friday.
Related: BREAKING: Elon Musk wants to terminate the $44B Twitter takeover
The letter said Musk is terminating the merger because Twitter "appears to have made false and misleading representations," arguing that Twitter was not clear about its process for auditing spam and fake accounts and identifying and suspending such accounts.
Reacting to the news, Musk expressed his amusement on July 11, sharing a meme image of himself suggesting that the lawsuit will force Twitter to share the data surrounding bot activity.

Review - Sam | A Savings WOW!
With four children at home and what seems like a million things on our to-do list, both of us decided to try out the Member's Mark 4X Probiotics. We've been using it for about two weeks now and it has helped our digestive system greatly. Between sometimes not getting enough sleep and the weather changes, we started to feel like it was taking a toll on our bodies and even started feeling like we may be coming down with colds. However, after taking the Member's Mark 4X Probiotic for only a few days, we felt our bodies bouncing back. It definitely has made a difference for us in helping us feel less rundown and more ready to accomplish what we need to in a given day. With the Sam's Club pack, we definitely will continue to take them because we don't need to run out every time to get more since the Sam's Club twin pack lasts for 3 months. We definitely would recommend it to those who want to have more of a balance in their digestive health.
You can find Member's Mark 4X Probiotic at your local Sam's Club location. We found ours for $28.88 for the twin pack, which includes a supply for 3 months.
Find your nearest Sam's Club location and purchase your Member's Mark 4X Probiotic today!

Penn State banking on defensive depth this season
Penn State's defense has plenty of depth, giving younger players the opportunity to showcase their talent.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A week ago, Shareef Miller hobbled to the far end of a cold, wet bench to sit down, rest a sore leg and watch Penn State's defensive line work without him.
Linebacker Jason Cabinda has an idea what Miller might've been thinking, sitting there alone in the rain, shaken up only a handful of plays into the season opener.
"Guys are playing better, guys are pushing themselves more knowing that there are guys behind them that want to play and can play," Cabinda said. "We've got a lot of guys who aren't starters that could start for us and play well."
Miller returned to his starting spot on Saturday and chipped in two sacks to help No. 4 Penn State's defense hold Pittsburgh to a touchdown and two field goals. But Cabinda's point still applies - coordinator Brent Pry's defense is hungry, sturdy and capable of patching its own wounds.

The Nittany Lions (2-0) are using a revolving cadre of defenders to backstop one of the country's most explosive offenses. Through two games, Pry has deployed 38 players and Penn State has allowed just one touchdown on 27 possessions. The depth's come in handy as Penn State's had to defend for 1:08:50, nearly 39 minutes of it on Saturday.
"We had some drives and we'd obviously like to create a little bit more 3-and-outs," Penn State coach James Franklin said. "That was our issue and getting a little bit more off the field on defense. Overall, I thought we played really well and the early interception was huge."
Grant Haley's first quarter pick and return set up Penn State's first touchdown and was a product of Miller and fellow end Torrence Brown blowing up the pocket. Quarterback Max Browne couldn't step up and floated the pass over his receiver's head.

Haley's play didn't buy him much rest.
Trace McSorley flipped a touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki on the next play and the defense reconvened. The Nittany Lions are used to that with McSorley, Gesicki and big-play machine Saquon Barkley on offense. Considering their stars' quick-strike abilities, Penn State defenders are embracing the many opportunities to sub out.

Miller and Brown, expected to handle primary pass-rushing duties this season, lead a defensive line rotation of more than a dozen players.
"Torrence is a real slippery, elusive kind of guy," Penn State offensive tackle Andrew Nelson said. "Shareef, he plays angry. He plays mean. You know every play, Shareef is coming off the ball, is going to hit you in the chest, hit you with a hard swipe. He has a motor."

Miller wants to see the rest of his teammates succeed, especially if he can draw blocks away from them with his speed rush.
"What would make me happy is seeing (Ryan) Buchholz get a sack or Torrence get a sack or Shane (Simmons) get a sack more than me getting a sack," Miller said.
It's a desire passed down from the team's veterans. Six of Penn State's defensive starters - five of them seniors -- started games as freshmen.

Cabinda remembers looking around the weight room in the offseason, wondering which players could possibly be ready to endure a grueling Big Ten season. Now, he wonders which one will make the next big play.
"When you bring in guys that are better, you don't allow the starters to feel comfortable," Cabinda said. "Everybody's always striving to do better and be better. If you start screwing up and you're production isn't where it needs to be, the guy behind you is itching at your spot and he's going to take it."

The "Domestication Syndrome" In Mammals
Home > Pets Needs > Domestic Animals >
The Domesticated-to-wild Elephant
Modern cattle come from the domestication of one of the three subspecies, Bos primigenius primigenius. The last auroch, a female, died on a royal sport preserve in 1627 in Poland.
Disposal Of Dead Farm Animals And Disposal Of Offal From Slaughter Facilities
The theory is that a species is not extinct if its genes nonetheless exist in it descendants. Today there are Heck cattle, named for Lutz and Heinz Heck, the same German brothers who who tried to breed again to get the "unique" horse. They began crossbreeding numerous breeds of modern cattle in an attempt to recapture or restore aurochs. Aurochs are thought to have first developed in India some two million years in the past. As they migrated off the Indian subcontinent, they shaped three species, all of which are actually extinct.
Along with Guernseys, Jerseys produce quite a lot of milk for his or her measurement, and their milk has a really excessive butterfat content. In the twentieth century there was an effort to breed back cattle to bring back the aurochs.
There's a question as as to whether the Przewalski is a separate species from the trendy horse or a subspecies. They have a unique number of chromosomes, sixty six for the Przewalski and sixty four for the modern horse. However, one of many typically accepted determinants for whether or not two animals are the identical species is whether or not they can breed and produce fertile offspring.
Finally, their hides are sometimes used to make the softest leather items including gloves, boots, and jackets. Sometimes called "the poor man's cow," goats offered historical men with meat, milk, hides, and wool, and so they do the same for us right now. These attributes, coupled with their capability to survive in poor and even harsh situations, with meager forage—and the added bonus that they're easier to maintain than cattle—make them an ideal animal for many homesteads. There are twin breeds that are each good milkers and first rate beef cattle and are likely to enchantment to the self-adequate homesteader. These are extraordinarily docile but additionally extremely hardy animals that aren't as susceptible to cattle problems as other breeds.
But the milk can be used to make cheese, yogurt, butter, and ghee(a kind of clarified butter that's glorious for top-temperature cooking), cottage cheese, and ice cream. On the small homestead, extra milk may also be used to feed pigs, chickens, and other animals. Among the better dairy cows for these functions are Holsteins, probably the most broadly used dairy cow in the world; Guernseys, which are prolific milkers and produce a top quality milk; and Jerseys, which are smaller and are docile.

The New York Times published an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Wednesday headlined "Send In the Troops," advocating invocation of the Insurrection Act and deployment of active-duty military personnel against lawbreaking associated with the protests in U.S. cities over the death of George Floyd. The backlash was immediate: Critics deplored a fascistic posture that threatened the safety of African Americans, against whom our country's military assets would be trained.
"Running this puts Black @NYTimes staff in danger," tweeted staffers at the newspaper.
Within hours, Editorial Page Editor James Bennet took a defensive stance on Twitter, writing, "I want to explain why we published the piece today by Senator Tom Cotton." His defense begat more outrage. On Thursday morning, Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger sent a memo to colleagues defending the decision. Bennet also wrote a more formal defense expanding on his tweets.
Yet, by late afternoon Thursday, the Times had bailed on the entire affair: "We've examined the piece and the process leading up to its publication," the paper said in a statement. "This review made clear that a rushed editorial process led to the publication of an Op-Ed that did not meet our standards. As a result, we're planning to examine both short term and long term changes, to include expanding our fact checking operation and reducing the number of Op-Eds we publish."
One moment, Cotton's op-ed upheld the "principle of openness to a range of opinions," according to Sulzberger's memo to staffers. The next moment, its publication fell beneath the newspaper's lofty requirements.
What happened here?
A reading problem, for one. A staff meeting on Thursday afternoon produced the revelation that Bennet himself hadn't read the op-ed before its publication, according to a report in the New York Times itself. The boss's failure to inspect every piece of copy churning through the Opinion section is in itself no scandal, considering its voluminous output. The culprit in this case, however, was a collective, shared sense that Cotton's proposal to invade urban America with U.S. troops was fit to proceed along the usual editorial glide path.
That, it was not.
The final word from the Times placed the Cotton episode in the realm of management breakdown. In this regard, it bore a resemblance to a high-profile mess at CNN in 2017. A trio of veteran CNN journalists resigned from the network after publishing a story about Trump associate Anthony Scaramucci's alleged ties to Russia. CNN retracted the story because of a "breach in the process," though it failed to specify what aspects of the story were false or misguided.
The Times management's about-face has launched a backlash on the right, one that's being led by Cotton himself:
Several additional days of news will no doubt follow this blowup. An all-hands staff meeting on Friday has already kicked up coverage. An editor's note from the standards department is in the works, according to the Times, and the Sunday public-affairs shows will certainly nosh on the story.
As time wears on, the controversy will add another hate entry to the left's love-hate relationship with the newspaper. With its scoop-happy Washington team — including top White House reporter Maggie Haberman — the New York Times generates an outsize proportion of exclusives on President Trump and the obscene mismanagement of the federal government over the past three-plus years. Along the way, it has angered liberals — especially those who hover on Twitter — with a tone-deaf headline here, a bizarre photo of Hope Hicks there, a "normalizing" profile of a neo-Nazi here, a dumb piece on Trump's nicknaming habit there.
Such is the left's scrutiny of the New York Times that the public knows about seemingly every imperfection that has surfaced in its pages since Jan. 20, 2017.
Full coverage of the George Floyd protests
And much of the attention has fallen on Bennet's opinion pages. He recruited former Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens in April 2017 and watched as his new hire's first column — about climate change — got mauled on social media. The column itself still bears a scar from that set-to, a consequential correction about how Stephens characterized the impact of climate change.
Other gaffes stemmed from management and process flubs. A year ago, the Opinion section published an anti-Semitic cartoon, prompting the newspaper to acknowledge that the responsible editor was "working without adequate oversight" in a "faulty process." The section hired journalist Quinn Norton in 2018 to write about technology, only to then realize that she had written about neo-Nazi friendships and other troublesome material. She was fired hours after her hiring was announced. Another 2018 hire, Sarah Jeong, had written derisive remarks about white people; she lasted about a year.
In June 2017, the New York Times published an editorial suggesting that Sarah Palin's political action committee had incited the murderous 2011 rampage of Jared Lee Loughner in Arizona. Palin sued for defamation, a step that opened the editorial process to a blast of sunlight. As it turned out, Bennet had inserted problematic language in the editorial without having taken basic, essential steps to confirm the details.
Missteps notwithstanding, Bennet has long been regarded as a possible successor to Executive Editor Dean Baquet. As recently as last fall, Sulzberger said this about Bennet to The Post: "Under his leadership, Opinion has been vital, creative and unafraid to tackle big issues, from privacy to domestic abuse to the legacy of slavery. He's not only a great editor, but a deeply honorable one. As much as any journalist I've worked with, he's constantly pushing himself to make the right journalistic decision."
In the coming weeks, we'll learn whether that confidence has survived l'affaire Cotton. In between lapses, Bennet and his crew have indeed pushed out a great deal of outstanding work, with a recent example being an examination of American cities during the pandemic. Two days before the Cotton op-ed was published, the paper's editorial board wrote this:
What the protesters want is a country where bad cops are fired rather than coddled. They want a country where cops who beat demonstrators aren't protected by their unions, but instead lose their jobs. They want a country where the police protect the right of their fellow Americans to gather in public and seek redress for their grievances, rather than one where they are rammed with SUVs. They want a country where federal troops aren't used against a peaceful protest to facilitate a photo-op.
That passage raises one of those in-spite-of/because-of riddles: Did readers and New York Times staffers unload on Bennet in spite of these writings about police brutality and protests? Or because of them?
Whatever the answer, the backlash fed off the belief that Cotton's suggestion to deploy military muscle on U.S. city streets was unworthy of the platform that the New York Times has built. Nikole Hannah-Jones, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer at the paper, made this point on Wednesday:
How the masthead of the New York Times looks back on all this is difficult to discern. In Friday's staff meeting, Sulzberger said that the op-ed never should have been published and didn't meet the newspaper's standards — this, after writing on Thursday that it embodied the paper's spirit. In explaining that contradiction to colleagues at the meeting, Sulzberger downplayed the memo as a "placeholder" while the newspaper looked into the matter, according to sources logged into the meeting.
This particular placeholder isn't holding anything.
The New York Times is experiencing a crisis of leadership and conviction. In just two days, it has alienated staffers, readers, liberals, conservatives, free-expression absolutists of all political persuasions and Tom Cotton. There's a saying in Washington that if you're angering both sides, you must be doing something right. The Times's recent actions prove that such "wisdom" is a crock.

We really need to take the words Main Stream out of MSM. There's nothing main stream about them anymore. They are nothing more than a propaganda arm of the radical left.
Remember all the times someone says "When does the revolution, or CWII, start?" I honestly think the revolution is actually coming for us. The radical left has no time for different views and, as we've been watching, they have no problems burning the place to the ground to get their way.

The first amendment has been gone for a while now...you only have the freedom to speak as long as your speech is inline with what the liberal masses agree is civil. Otherwise, it's immediately considered hate speech, and SJW"s will attack in full force.

It's sad, really. I've heard about people on my wife's FB are unwilling to listen to or tolerate alternate views and it is driving wedges between people who have known each other for 30+ years. Unfriending like it is the Night of the Long Knives. It is one of the reasons I don't participate.
Tolerance is supposed to be a two way street. Not all progressing towards leftist liberal correctness under pain of doxing. People should be able to talk out their differences but they would prefer to create safe space echo chambers of group think.

WD West Studios
Wally West was fortunate as a young photographer in Victoria to be exposed to a wide range of experiences and technical expertise. He moved to Prince George in 1946 to open his own photographic studio in the Ritts-Kifer Hall on George Street. Business was slow at first, but the quality of Mr. West's work and his charming ability to make customers feel special brought him success. W.D. West Studio celebrated its tenth anniversary shortly after moving into its final location on Third Avenue.
Mr. West's career highlights included using his darkroom skills to reveal a forged cheque in a court case, as well as being one of the official photographers for the Royal visit to Victoria in 1939. During his life in Prince George, Wally West took more than 500,000 photographs documenting everything from highway construction to family portraits. In 1998, he received an Honorary Master of Photography from the Professional Photographers Association of Canada.
Visit www.wallywest.ca to view a collection of Wally West's photography.
The following additional information is from the Wally West Collection website:
W.D. (Wally) West opened his photograhpic studio in Prince George, British Columbia in 1946. Upon his retirement in 1991, the City of Prince George purchased much of his collection. The City donated the collection to the Fraser-Fort George Museum Society for archiving and preservation in 1993 and now resides at The Exploration Place (Fraser-Fort George Regional Museum).
The collection consists of 4 main parts:
General: The images here depict regional and social events, community organizations, businesses, trade fairs, conventions, agriculture, construction, natural disasters, street scenes, aerial views and portraits.
Simonson: Wally West purchased the Jacob Simonson studio in 1946. Simonson opened the first photograhpic studio in South Fort George in 1910. Jacob Simonson passed away in 1946.
Pulp Mills: The construction of Northwood, Intercontinental, and P.G. Pulp mills.
Schools: These are mostly class photos from schools in the Prince George region. They were taken between 1947 and 1960 and include 25 individual schools.
Wally has recieved numerous awards and accolades in Canada and internationally including an Honorary Master of Photographic Arts. Other recipients of this honorary award include: Sherman Hines, Yousuf Karsh, Oma Marler, Rt. Hon. Roland Michener, and Bruce Poldon.

The spider family Pisauridae includes 336 described species (Platnick 2014), just 14 of which occur in North America north of Mexico. Several of the North American species are common east of the 100th meridian. Pisaurids somewhat resemble lycosids (wolf spiders), but the eyes of pisaurids are typically arranged in a pattern that is distinct from that seen in lycosids. Many pisaurids are quite large.
Pisaurids often hunt on vegetation, on tree trunks, or even on water, but (in contrast to lycosids) they are rarely found on bare ground. Some Dolomedes are known to capture small fish, tadpoles, aquatic insects, and large invertebrate larvae from ponds and slow-moving streams (a habit that accounts for the one of the common names for the family, "fishing spiders"). These spiders can skate over the water surface or plunge into the water to capture prey. When disturbed, they may climb down emergent aquatic vegetation and hide underwater.
Some or all pisaurids exhibit extended parental care. The female carries her egg case under her body, holding it in her chelicerae, while it is also attached to the spinnerets by a thread. When the young are ready to emerge from the egg sac, the female builds a nursery web for the young. She typically uses a folded leaf or similar structure as a roof and fills the space below with a sturdy tangle of threads, suspending the egg sac near the center and guarding the nursery from a nearby perch. When the young emerge, they remain in the nursery for a week or more, molt, then disperse.
In North America north of Mexico, there are just three pisaurid genera: Dolomedes (including the classic "fishing spiders"), Pisaurina, and Tinus.Pisaurina are found in herbaceous vegetation and small shrubs, typically in the ecotone between grasslands and woods or at stream and pond margins. Bruce and Carico (1988) studied mating behavior in Pisaurina mira and found that copulation occurs while the spiders are suspended from a dragline after the female is bound by a veil of the male's silk. Carico (1985) found that juveniles of Pisaurina mira construct silken retreats. Tinus peregrinus is found along the margins of streams in habitat similar to that of Dolomedes.
A phylogenetic analysis of the family was undertaken by Santos (2007). All the North American pisaurid genera were revised by Carico (1972, 1973, 1976), who also revised a number of Neotropical genera. Genitalic structure in the family was analyzed by Sierwald (1989, 1990). Trechalea, formerly considered a pisaurid, is now placed in the related family Trechaleidae (Carico 2005).
Some European Dolomedes are known to be of conservation concern (Iorio and Villepoux 2012).

Nursery web spider
provided by wikipedia EN
Nursery web spiders (Pisauridae) is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1890.[1] They resemble wolf spiders (Lycosidae) except for several key differences. Wolf spiders have two very prominent eyes in addition to the other six, while a nursery web spider's eyes are all about the same size.[2] Additionally, female nursery web spiders carry their egg sacs with their jaws and pedipalps instead of attaching them to their spinnerets as wolf spiders do. When the eggs are about to hatch, a female spider builds a nursery "tent", places her egg sac inside, and stands guard outside, hence the family's common name. Like the wolf spiders, however, the nursery web spiders are roaming hunters that don't use webs for catching prey.
Species occur throughout the world except for extremely dry or cold environments, and are common just about everywhere. Many can walk on the surface of still bodies of water and may even dive beneath the surface temporarily to escape enemies. They can jump a distance of 5 to 6 inches (130 to 150 mm), but they have trouble climbing extremely smooth surfaces such as glass.
The name "nursery web spider" is especially given to the European species Pisaura mirabilis, but this family also includes fishing spiders and raft spiders. Adult specimens may reach up to 15mm in length, including legs. The legs of the male are longer in relation to body size than those of the female.[3]
The female spider sometimes attempts to eat the male after mating. The male, to reduce the risk of this, often presents the female with a gift such as a fly when approaching in the hope that this will satisfy her hunger. Sometimes, this gift is a fake present intended to fool the female.[4] Males may wrap the fake gift in silk, to deceive the female to mate. Females can detect the fake gift and terminate mating, negating the male's deception in not giving a real gift.[5]
