Race and Fraud: The Races of Mankind – Part 4
Published on February 26, 2013	by Tanstaafl in Age of Treason Radio
Concluding commentary on Ruth Benedict and Gene Weltfish's The Races of Mankind:
Race prejudice isn't an old universal "instinct." It is hardly a hundred years old. Before that, people persecuted Jews because of their religion-not their "blood"
Jews have been treated differently because they are different, they demand to be treated differently. Their ancient cover story, which is a lie, is that the difference is just religion. Jewishness is a racial identity in the sense it is inherited, that there are distinct jewish blood lines. Jews as a group are are biologically distinct from other groups.
They will think we were crazy. "Why should race prejudice have swept the western worid," they will say, "where no nation was anything but a mixture of all kinds of racial groups? Why did nations just at that moment begin talking about 'the racial purity' of their blood? Why did they talk of their wars as racial wars? Why did they make people suffer, not because they were criminals or double-crossers, but because they were Jews or Negroes or non-Nordic?"
The same reason any group of people does anything. They think it's the RIGHT thing to do, they have different ideas WHY it is RIGHT. Some think in universal terms, others more particularist. The example here is that a variety of deceitful arguments – based on "science", religion, etc – have been used to convince people that the RIGHT way was the way that was best for those who were afraid of being excluded.
The Russian nation has for a generation shown what can be done to outlaw race prejudice in a country with many kinds of people. They did not wait for people's minds to change. They made racial discrimination and persecution illegal.
Reply to an Inquiry of the Jewish News Agency in the United States:
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.
J. Stalin
No part of the Russian program has had greater success than their racial program.
Yet when the USSR collapsed in 1991 it divided along racial/ethnic lines.
What Is Being Done?
In the United States a considerable number of organizations are working for democratic race equality.
Benedict and Weltfish dedicate 4-5 pages to describing the organized efforts to impose their anti-"racist" ideology on others.
The Rosenwald Foundation has sponsored southern Negro schools, elementary, high school, and college, in order to make up for the deficiencies of southern Negro education.
THE CHURCHES
. . . race superiority or inferiority are un-Christian
COMMISSION ON INTERRACIAL COOPERATION
Some information about the CIC. Commission on Interracial Cooperation, Wikipedia:
Will W. Alexander, pastor of a local white Methodist church, was head of the organization
was formed in the aftermath of violent race riots that occurred [in 1917]
In spite of its official "interracial" title, the commission was formed primarily by liberal white Southerners.
African Americans and whites had meetings to confer the African American's problems
Commission on Interracial Cooperation, NCpedia:
with support from the Julius Rosenwald Fund
Julius Rosenwald, Wikipedia, born in 1862 to a jewish immigrant couple:
He established his Rosenwald Fund in 1917 for "the well-being of mankind."
his fund donated over 70 million dollars to public schools, colleges and universities, museums, Jewish charities and black institutions
Back to The Races of Mankind:
BY UNIONS
when Negroes were first placed on machines previously manned by white operators, a work stoppage shut down a whole section of the Packard plant. R. J. Thomas the president of the [United Auto Workers] union, ordered the white strikers to return to work or suffer loss of union membership and employment. Within a few hours the strikers were back, with the recently promoted Negroes still at their machines.
Where "science" and argument failed the anti-Whites used threats and sanctions.
The justification here was to loosen racial restrictions to maximize the workforce for the war effort, in effect not letting a good crisis go to waste.
Beaumont, Texas, similar effective action was not undertaken and a serious riot occurred.
In the most disastrous of recent riots in Detroit, a number of obscure bystanders performed heroic actions.
From a History Channel program, Stories from the Road to Freedom, 2013:
In 1943, there were 68 racial confrontations at U.S. military bases.
Naturally. The consequences of compulsory integration were and still are disastrous and destructive for Whites. The anti-"racist" thrust in 1943 was to champion integration. The thrust today has shifted to demonizing any Whites who ever opposed or now advocate ending it.
The conclusion of The Races of Mankind sums up its purpose:
With America's great tradition of democracy, the United States should clean its own house and get ready for a better twenty-first century. Then it could stand unashamed before the Nazis and condemn, without confusion, their doctrines of a Master Race. Then it could put its hand to the building of the United Nations Organization, sure of support from all the yellow and black races where the war was fought, sure that victory in this war is to be in the name, not of one race or another, but of the universal Human Race.
This was a lecture about what "we" should do, based on lies and wishful thinking. This characteristically jewish shaming and guilt-tripping has only gotten worse as Whites have ceded power in the name of equality. The equalization of non-Whites, non-Europeans, has produced ever more explicit efforts to boost non-Whites. It has all come at the expense of Whites.
As mentioned in Race and Fraud: Ruth Benedict and Gene Weltfish, United Productions of America (UPA) produced an animated cartoon based on the pamplet 1945/1946. Two versions are available on YouTube. The Brotherhood of Man – Post-WWII Animated Cartoon Against Prejudice and Racism (1946) is in color. The Brotherhood of Man (1946) is in black and white. A credit screen announces:
SPONSORED AS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY THE UAW-CIO
There are 4 characters:
narrator – calm, confident, all-knowing "scientist" (jewish/communist anthropologist)
White guy – naive optimistic rube, target of the propaganda
green devil – paranoid, nervous, the scapegoat
non-Whites – non-entity stereotypes, inert except to cheer on White naivete
Narrator: Everyone has his own special dream about what the world's going to be like in the future, but we all know it's steadily shrinking. One of these days we're going to wake up and find the people and places we used to just read about are practically in our own back yard.
White rube: It's happened!
Green devil: Uh unh, I don't like the looks of this.
White rube: Why not? It's going to be wonderful!
Green devil: Ahh, it'll never work. We can't get along with those people. They're too different.
White rube: We'll get along. We've got to. The future of civilization depends on brotherhood!
Non-Whites: YAYYYYYYY!
The cartoon boils the jewish anti-"racist" fraud down to its essence: Disingenuous propaganda, aimed directly at Whites, intended to convince us, even with outright lies, that we must share our societies with everyone else, and to oppose this is stupid, crazy, or evil.
Like the pamphlet, the cartoon concludes with an appeal to utopian fantasy – if "we" give "everyone" an "equal chance", "then we can all go forward together". The burden is placed on "we" Whites to subordinate our own best interests for benefit of everyone else.
Seventy years on, we know how this vision turns out. There is little pretense any more that "everyone" is or even should be trying to move forward together. There is no equality. The negative consequences which inevitably arise when this false ideological belief meet biological reality are constantly and consistently blamed on Whites.
Margaret Mead's obituary for Ruth Benedict in American Ethnography Quasimonthly, 1948:
The small pamphlet, Races of Mankind, which she wrote with Gene Weltfish, went into millions of copies, was translated into film, and film script and cartoon forms, and has proved perhaps the most important single translation into genuine popular education of the many years of careful research on race differences to which anthropologists have made a major contribution.
I couldn't fit this into the podcast, but I think it's worth considering this epitome of jewish/communist fraud concerning race that we've examined in detail for these past four installments, and contrasting it with White anthropolgy, before it was derailed, as typified by this article, also titled The Races of Mankind, written by Edward Tylor and published in the July 1881 issue of Popular Science Monthly.
These excerpts illustrate a clear and objective understanding of race, sixty years before the WWII-era propaganda calculated to sow doubt and confusion about it:
ANTHROPOLOGY finds race-differences most clearly in stature and proportions of limbs, conformation of the skull and the brain within, characters of features, skin, eyes, and hair, peculiarities of constitution, and mental and moral temperament.
In comparing races as to their stature, we concern ourselves not with the tallest or shortest men of each tribe, but with the ordinary or average-sized men who may be taken as fair representatives of their whole tribe.
It thus appears that a race is a body of people comprising a regular set of variations, which center round one representative type. In the same way a race or nation is estimated as to other characters.
The people whom it is easiest to represent by single portraits are uncivilized tribes, in whose food and way of life there is little to cause difference between one man and another, and who have lived together and intermarried for many generations.
It is not enough to look at a race of men as a mere body of people happening to have a common type or likeness. For the reason of their likeness is plain, and indeed our calling them a race means that we consider them a breed whose common nature is inherited from common ancestors. Now, experience of the animal world shows that a race or breed, while capable of carrying on its likeness from generation to generation, is also capable of varying.
As the influence and power of jews increased, jewish views on race came to prevail. False uncertainty transformed gradually into outright condemnation. Social Evolutionism, Anthropological Theories – Department of Anthropology – The University of Alabama:
[Marvin] Harris called Morgan and Tylor racists (1968:137,140), but they were some of the great thinkers of their time. Today, students continue to learn Tylor's definition of culture and all cultural anthropology classes discuss Morgan's stages of development. These men got the ball rolling in terms of anthropological theory.
Marvin Harris is on the Jews in Anthropology short list.
The podcast will be broadcast and available for download on Tuesday at 9PM ET.

How Jews Capitalized a Protest Against Jews – Episode 35
Comments Off on How Jews Capitalized a Protest Against Jews – Episode 35
More on Ruth Benedict and Gene Weltfish's The Races of Mankind:
After World War I the Germans and the Czechs along the border between the two countries intermarried so often that the Germans of this section got to look like Czechs and the Czechs began to speak German. But this did not make the two countries love each other.
People of every European nation have racial brothers in other countries, often ones with which they are at war. If at any one moment you could sort into one camp all the people in the world who were most Mediterranean, no mystic sense of brotherhood would unite them. Neither camp would have language or nationality or mode of life to unite them.
The same applies to mankind as a whole – yet anti-"racists" argue in favor of a mystic sense of brotherhood uniting all of mankind.
Pretending race doesn't exist doesn't make race go away.
The movements of peoples over the face of the earth inevitably produce race mixture and have produced it since before history began. No one has been able to show that this is necessarily bad.
They know race mixing is not inevitable, which is why they take the trouble to argue and propagandize in favor of it. They wish to thwart the natural human tendency to discriminate and separate.
But, as far as we know, there are no immutable laws of nature that make racial intermixture harmful.
Harmful for who?
No immutable laws of nature make extinction harmful. Group identity, self-awareness, morality – group judgment of good and bad – is what gives words like "harmful" meaning.
The thesis of Arthur Gobineau's The Inequality of Human Races is that each society throughout history has been an expression of a racial/national core, and that their success leads to conquest, then mixing, then collapse.
Racial Superiorities and Inferiorities
to prove superiority … you have to test abilities
Science therefore treats human racial differences as facts to be studied and mapped. It treats racial superiorities as a separate field of investigation; it looks for evidence. When a Nazi says "I am a blue-eyed Aryan and you are non-Aryan," he means "I am superior and you are infenor." The scientist says: "Of course. You are a fair-haired, long-headed, tall North European (the Anthropological term is Nordics, not Aryans), and I am a dark-haired, round-headed, less tall South European. But on what evidence do you base your claim to be superior? That is quite different."
Race prejudice turns on this point of inferiority and superiority. The man with race prejudice says of a man of another race, "No matter who he is, I don't have to compare myself with him. I'm superior anyway. I was born that way."
Anti-"racism" turns on this point of inferiority and superiority, playing on insecurity, fear of exclusion. A "racist" who says "born different" is saying superior/inferior is beside the point, though having a sense of pride in one's own group is perfectly normal and natural.
Pages 16 and 17 of the pamplet are missing. This portion of the pamphlet discusses IQ. The tail end of it is on page 18 (italics in original):
The white race did badly where economic conditions were bad and schooling was not provided, and Negroes living under better conditions surpassed them. The differences did not arise because people were from the North or the South, or because they were white or black, but because of differences in income, education, cultural -advantages, and other opportunities.
From the page on Gene Weltfish at Wikipedia:
The most controversial statement was the mention of a set of IQ tests administered to the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) in World War I, in which "Southern Whites" scored below "Northern Negroes". Weltfish and Benedict argued that "The difference….[arose] because of differences of income, education, cultural advantages, and other opportunities," since southern schools spent only a fraction of the amount spent on education in the North. This was the statement that led to a general outcry in the military. The bulk of the pamphlet was dedicated to explaining that perceived differences in group mental abilities vary in accordance with social and cultural factors, not biological ones.
The heritability of IQ and racial differences in IQ are well established. The controversy over this comes entirely from anti-"racists" who simply want to deny and suppress these facts. See, for example, The Bell Curve and the "debate" it spawned.
A large portion of the anti-"racist" fraud, from 1943 through to this day, having to do with IQ and other racial differences, is conflating overlap with equality. It is a kind of hand-waving – a deliberate attempt to induce confusion and minimize differences in norms and averages by pointing to overall variance. A specific example has come to be known as the Lewontin fallacy, which I'll discuss in more detail in a future installment.
Character Not Inborn
The second superiority which a man claims when he says, "I was born a member of a superior race/' is that his race has better character. The Nazis boasted of their racial soul. But when they wanted to make a whole new generation into Nazis they didn't trust to "racial soul"; they made certain kinds of teaching compulsory in the schools, they broke up homes where the parents were anti-Nazi, they required boys to join certain Nazi youth organizations. By these means they got the kind of national character they wanted. But it was a planned and deliberately trained character, not an inborn "racial soul."
Race prejudice is, after all, a determination to keep a people down, and it misuses the label '"inferior" to justify unfairness and injustice. Race prejudice makes people ruthless; it invites violence. It is the opposite of "good character" as it is defined in the Christian religion— or in the Confucian religion, or in the Buddhist religion, or the Hindu religion, for that matter.
Civilization Not Caused by Race
History proves that progress in civilization is not the monopoly of one race or subrace. When our white forebears in Europe were rude stone-age primitives, the civilizations of the Babylonians and the Egyptians had already flourished and been eclipsed. There were great Negro states in Africa when Europe was a sparsely settled forest. Negroes made iron tools and wove fine cloth for their clothing when fair-skinned Europeans wore skins and knew nothing of iron.
When Europe was just emerging from the Middle Ages, Marco Polo visited China and found there a great civilization, the like of which he had never imagined. Europe was a frontier country in those days compared with China.
The United States is the greatest crossroads of the world in all history. People have come here from every race and nation, and almost every race in the world is represented among our citizens. They have brought with them their own ways of cooking food, so ihat our "American" diet is iudebted to a dozen peoples. Our turkey, com, and cranberries come from the Indians. Our salads we borrowed from the French and Italians. Increasingly in recent years we have enriched our tables with soups from Russia, vegetables from Italy, appetizers from the Scandinavian countries, seafoods from the Mediterranean lands, chile and tortillas from Mexico, and so on almost endlessly.
THE FUTURE OF RACE PREJUDICE
NEVERTHELESS there is race prejudice in America and in the world. Race prejudice isn't an old universal "instinct." It is hardly a hundred years old. Before that, people persecuted Jews because of their religion-not their "blood"; they enslaved Negroes because they were pagans-not for being black.
Looking back now, modems are horrified at all the blood that was shed for centuries in religious conflicts. It is not our custom any more to torture and kill a man because he has a different religion. The twenty-first century may well look back on our generation and be just as horrified. If that century builds its way of life on the Atlantic Charter-for the whole worid-our era will seem a nightmare from which they have awakened. They will think we were crazy. "Why should race prejudice have swept the western worid," they will say, "where no nation was anything but a mixture of all kinds of racial groups? Why did nations just at that moment begin talking about 'the racial purity' of their blood? Why did they talk of their wars as racial wars? Why did they make people suffer, not because they were criminals or double-crossers, but because they were Jews or Negroes or non-Nordic?"
We who are living in these troubled times can tell them why. Today weak nations are afraid of the strong nations; the poor are afraid of the rich; the rich are afraid they will lose their riches. People are afraid of one another's poHtical or economic power, they are afraid of revenge for past injuries, they are afraid of social rejection. Conflict grows fat on fear. And the slogans against "inferior races" lead us to pick on them as scapegoats. We pin on them the reason for all our fears.
Race Prejudice Not Inevitable
Freedom from fear is the way to cure race prejudice.
Hello from the 21st century. There are still weak and strong, rich and poor. Today the anti-"racists" are in charge and they scapegoat "racists".
Atlantic Charter, Wikipedia:
The Atlantic Charter was a pivotal policy statement first issued in August 1941 that early in World War II defined the Allied goals for the post-war world. It was drafted by Britain and the United States, and later agreed to by all the Allies. The Charter stated the ideal goals of the war: no territorial aggrandizement; no territorial changes made against the wishes of the people; restoration of self-government to those deprived of it; free access to raw materials; reduction of trade restrictions; global cooperation to secure better economic and social conditions for all; freedom from fear and want; freedom of the seas; and abandonment of the use of force, as well as disarmament of aggressor nations.

BLOOD THE SAME
For ages men have spoken of 'blood relations" as if different peoples had different blood. Some people have shouted that if we got into our veins the blood of someone with a different head shape, eye color, hair texture, or skin color, we should get some of that person's physical and mental characteristics.
Modern science has revealed this to be pure superstition. All human blood is the same, whether it is the blood of an Eskimo or a Frenchman, of the "purest" German "Aryan" or an African pygmy— except for one medically important difference. This medical difference was discovered when doctors first began to use blood transfusion in order to save life. In early attempts at transfusion it was discovered that "agglutination" or clumping together of the red cells sometimes occurred and caused death. Gradually investigators learned that there are four types of blood, called O, A, B, and AB, and that although blood typed O can be mixed successfully with the other three, none of these can be mixed with one another without clumping.
These four types of blood are inherited by each child from its forebears. But whites, Negroes, Mongols, and all races of man have all these blood types. The color of their skin does not tell at all which blood type they have. You and an Australian bush-man may have the same blood type.
For ages the use of blood as a metaphor for inheritance was a reasonable, intuitive understanding of the mechanics.
Rather than mocking this as "pure superstition", and falsely insisting that "all human blood is the same", someone interested in making an honest argument concerning blood and heritability based on science could have cited August Weismann's germ plasm theory ("inheritance only takes place by means of the egg and sperm cells") and the Weismann barrier ("other cells of the body—somatic cells—do not function as agents of heredity"), which had been known since c1900.
Ongoing scientific inquiry, known as genetics, had by 1943 further refined the understanding of the mechanism of heritability. Among the more prominent geneticists were the "purest" German "Aryans", scientists like Alfred Ploetz and Fritz Lenz.
The blood intuition was valid in the sense that head shape and other heritable traits are encoded within our bodies. If the "blood" (which we now understand is DNA) could be changed then the expression of those traits would change. A more realistic example is what happens when one person "mixes their blood" with another to produce children.
Benedict and Weltfish minimize blood differences, ignoring what was understood about the relation to race even in 1943: that the distribution of blood types among races is distinctive.
As the American Red Cross puts it, even in today's extreme anti-"racist" zeitgeist:
Different ethnic and racial groups … have different frequency of the main blood types in their populations.
There are other significant facts about blood type and race, some understood in 1943 and others which have come to light since. RH- is entirely a White trait, highest in the Basque at 20-35%, 15% among Europeans in general, near 0% in everyone else. Amerindians and Australoids are nearly 100% O+. In addition to A, B, AB, and O, there are many less common, lesser known blood subtypes which are unique to certain ethnic groups.
If you're European there's a good chance you have some combination of A, B, or RH- blood, and in this case the blood of an Australian bushman is almost certainly incompatible.
The best donor for blood or organs are those most biochemically compatibile with the recipient. This is more likely to be a close relative. The more different genetically, the less likely they are compatible.
Having more people like yourself around you increases the likelyhood of blood/organ compatibility. Diversity and race mixing reduces that likelyhood. When it comes to blood, diversity is plainly not a strength.
Returning to The Races of Mankind:
Finally, let us take skin color, the most noticeable of the differences between peoples. Few traits have been used as widely to classify people. We all talk about black, white, and yellow races of man.
Recently scientists found that skin color is determined by two special chemicals. One of these, carotene, gives a yellow tinge; the other, melanin, contributes the brown.
People of browner complexions simply have more melanin in their skin, people of yellowish color more carotene. It is not an all-or-nothing difference; it is a difference in proportion. Your skin color is due to the amount of these chemicals present in the skin.
So the visible difference in skin color is caused by an underlying chemical difference, which ultimately reflects a biological, genetic heritable difference. The key, here again, is that races exhibit different distributions, different proportions.
In other words it is evidence in favor of the reality and significance of race, not against it.
HOW ARE RACES CLASSIFIED?
THE three primary races of the world have their strongest developments in areas A, B, and C on the map on page 9. In these parts of the world most of the inhabitants not only have the same skin color but the same hair texture and noses. A is the area of the Caucasian Race, B of the Mongoloid Race, C of the Negroid Race.
The Caucasian Race inhabits Europe and a great part of the Near East and India. It is subdivided in broad bands that run east and west: Nordics (fair-skinned, blue-eyed, tall, and long- headed) are most common in the north; Alpines (in-between skin color, often stocky, broad-headed) in the middle; Mediterraneans (slenderer, often darker than Alpines, long-headed) in the south. The distribution of racial subtypes is just about the same in Germany and in France; both are mostly Alpine and both have Nordics in their northern districts. Racially, France and Germany are made up of the same stocks in just about equal proportions.
American Indians are Mongoloid, though they differ physically both among themselves and from the Mongols of China.
The natives of Australia are sometimes called a fourth primary race.
In the map A is centered on Sweden, B on China, and C on Congo. Benedict and Weltfish continue to minimize the differences, both by literally minimizing their geographic extent, and by glossing over the many different shades, eg. the very black skin in India and Australia.
It is a willful blindness, interesting in contrast to illustrator Ad Reinhardt's later Black paintings, the "art" of which was in the appreciation of the significance of subtle, near imperceptible shades of black.
This portion of the pamphlet presents a general understanding of race that could just as well have been written by any contemporary proponent of race, eugenics or racial hygiene. Benedict and Weltfish acknowledge the existence of "racial subtypes" (Nordic, Alpine, Med) amongst Europeans, and the difference of opinion over the number of major races – without using these points as arguments against race. Instead they cite it to steal for themselves a measure of sciency credibility in support their ulterior anti-"racist" agenda, specifically to prepare the ground for the next issue, which is at the very heart of that agenda:
THERE IS NO JEWISH "RACE".
Aryans, Jews, Italians are not races. Aryans are people who speak Indo-European, "Aryan" languages. Hitler used the term in many ways— sometimes for blond Europeans, including the Scandinavian; sometimes for Germans, whether blond or brunet; sometimes for all who agreed with him politically, including the Japanese. As Hitler used it, the term "Aryan" had no meaning, racial, linguistic, or otherwise.
Jews are people who acknowledge the Jewish religion. They are of all races, even Negro and Mongolian, European Jews are of many different biological types; physically they resemble the populations among whom they live. The so-called "Jewish type" is a Mediterranean type, and no more "Jewish" than the South Italian. Wherever Jews are persecuted or discriminated against they cling to their old ways and keep apart from the rest of the population and develop so-called "Jewish" traits. But these are not racial or "Jewish"; they disappear under conditions where assimilation is easy.
I don't know about Hitler's use of the term Aryan. Perhaps someone who does can leave a comment about it. The arguments this pamphlet makes where Hitler is concerned are a kind of fallacy, increasingly common since WWII, known as Reductio ad Hitlerum.
Beyond Hitler, they're deliberately obfuscating reality which is not difficult to explain. Aryan is not simply linguistic, no more than jew is simply a religion. Aryans were a people who left traces of their language, artifacts, and genetics among those they conquered. Jewish traits are racial in the sense that they are heritable, genetically based.
Benedict and Weltfish misrepresent the cause and effect of jewish distinctiveness and "persecution", which is more objectively (scientifically) understood in terms of mutual alienation, not the one-sided narrative favorable to jews that they present.
Jewish genetic differences arose and were maintained by jews discriminating and separating themselves from their host populations, on the whole refusing to intermarry. Jews don't assimilate, otherwise they would long ago have ceased to exist. The core of jewry is utterly hostile to assimilation of jews to their hosts. Instead they organize and demand and generally get special rights and privileges for themselves, causing the host to assimilate to their desires and way of seeing things. Even supposedly assimilated jews lend their hands to this effort.
Religion is one component, but the key component of jewish identity is biological, not ideological. It is an identity passed from parents to children, whether their children want it or not.
Harlan Schulke and Carolyn Yeager had an insightful discussion of jewish identity in the first half of How the translator affects meanings in the Protocols of Zion.
Benedict and Weltfish continue:
Italians are a nationality, Italians are of many different racial strains; the "typical" South Italian is a Mediterranean, more like the Spaniard or the Greek or the Levantine Jew than the blond North Italian. The Germans, the Russians, and all other nations of Europe are nations, not races.
This is argument by conflation and confusion. The classic meaning of "nation" is roughly equivalent to "racial strain". The use of "nation" as a synonym for country or state causes misunderstanding. The existence of several "racial strains" within the borders of a single country doesn't mean that "racial strain" isn't racial in nature.
This disingenous argument leads directly into the next:
Racial Mixture
As far back in time as the scientist can go he finds proof that animals and men moved about in the world. There were different kinds of animals, and many of them went great distances. But wherever they went, the different kinds could not breed together. A tiger cannot mate with an elephant. Even a fox and a woif cannot mate with each other. But whenever groups of people have traveled from one place to another and met other people, some of them have married and had children.
Lions and tigers are capable of breeding. Likewise wolves and dogs. Left to themselves, in nature, they generally don't. Primates and even humans, left to ourselves, demonstrate a similar, general aversion to mixing. The Aryan conquerers in India codified the aversion as caste. In the US there were laws against miscegenation. An objective scientist, who could set his "race"/anti-"racist" agenda aside, would recognize both the capability of mixing and tendency to discriminate and compete as a perfectly natural step toward speciation.
Racial strains which set their "race" agenda aside will be outcompeted by those who don't. The key understanding here is that among man, argument and communication are part of the fitness equation of the competition. Lying and fraud and propaganda and psychological warfare are all part of the fitness equation.
We are used to thinking of Americans as mixed. All of us have ancestors who came from regions far apart. But we think that the English are English and the French are French. This is true for their nationality, just as we are all Americans. But it is not true for their race. The Germans have claimed to be a pure German race, but no European is a pure anything. A country has a population. It does not have a race. If you go far enough back In the populations of Europe you are apt to find all kinds of ancestors: Cro-Magnons, Slavs, Mongols, Africans, Celts, Saxons, and Teutons.
Yes, Whites are diverse in the true sense of the word.
The crime commited by the Germans, from a jewish point of view, was to recognize jews as aliens, not Germans.
There is nothing inherently wrong with purity as an ideal, nor with the notion that a dilution of purity is something to be avoided. These are normal, traditional values. Anti-"racists" succeeded in flipping these values and today promote degenerate, destructive mixing as the ideal, while pathologizing purity.

Human Resources Management Association of Greensboro (HRMAG) provides resources and monthly education meetings to all Human Resources Professionals throughout the Triad. HRMAG is the largest Human Resources chapter and Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) affiliate chapter in the area.
Human Resource Management Association of Greensboro Awarded For Elevating Human Resources, Improving Workplaces
Thursday, May 05, 2022 8:19 AM | Olivia Jolly (Administrator)
Greensboro, NC, May 5, 2022 — SHRM (the Society for Human Resource Management) recently awarded Human Resource Management Association of Greensboro (HRMAG) its prestigious EXCEL Platinum Award for the HRMAG's accomplishments in 2021.
The EXCEL award is given to state councils and chapters to recognize major accomplishments, strategic activities, and tactical initiatives that elevate the profession of human resources.
"SHRM's impact on the world of work is due to the dedication and efforts of our chapters and state councils like HRMAG. "The Platinum EXCEL Award is not only a celebration of the great work done by HRMAG —it's also recognition of their focus and determination to cause the effect to make great workplaces", said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, president, and chief executive officer of SHRM. "Their HR leadership is exemplary."
The EXCEL Award can be earned at four levels: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Each level has a prescribed set of requirements and accomplishments that must be met. HRMAG will receive recognition in SHRM publications and at conferences, a logo to display on its website, and information to share with its members about the significance of this award.
With hopefully coming out of COVID-19 in 2021, we wanted to strengthen our chapter by increasing the over whelming need of technology. We transitioned to a new website that helps us attract new members and the current members have more communication from HRMAG. We also transition from online only meetings to hybrid meetings with offering virtual and in-person. We have started working on strong initiatives for 2022 and we are on track to hopefully win the Platinum EXCEL Award again.

Jesuits have a long tradition in science and there's a good reason for that, says Jesuit lichenologist and ecologist Fr. John McCarthy.
Perhaps the notion of the common good will soon have its day in the sun.
VATICAN – Pope Francis has chosen the theme and appointed members of the preparatory council for the Synod of Bishops for the Amazon region, which will take place in Rome in October 2019.
VATICAN CITY - During Holy Week and in the Easter season, the Vatican will take part in several initiatives highlighting the importance of ecology and the care for creation.
MISSISSAUGA, Ont. - John Kostoff sees Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si': on Care for Our Common Home as a calling for Catholic educators to foster a sense of environmental responsibility rooted in religion.
"This is really a challenge that Pope Francis is presenting," said Kostoff, director of education for the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board.
VATICAN CITY - Anti-capitalism activist Naomi Klein on July 1 praised Pope Francis for standing up to Republicans who are warring against environmentalists, as the Vatican continues its battle against climate change with a high-level conference at the Holy See.


Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) field-tested a homegrown drone – Hamasseh (Epic) during a three-day military drill in southeast Iran on Tuesday.
The drone is capable of carrying out surveillance, reconnaissance, and strike missions simultaneously and can do long flights at high altitude. It was being deployed as part of military maneuvers for the first time since being unveiled two years ago.
It was being flown together with the IRGC's Mohajer (Migrant), Ababil, Shahed (Observer) drones during Payambar-e Azam (The Great Prophet) military exercise, Tasnim reported on Tuesday.
According to IRGC Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour, the drill keeps IRGC units on their toes, displays how well-prepared the forces are and assures security in the region.
In addition to ordinary IRGC units, Airborne and Special Forces units took part in the drill.
Tasnim reported that IRGC units also conducted hostage rescue operations on Tuesday morning, with ground troops using T-72 tanks and BMP-2 personnel carriers to raid mock enemy.

Luke Perry, most noted and beloved for Beverly Hills, 90210 and, recently, Riverdale , died Monday morning after suffering a massive stroke last Wednesday, reports TMZ .
The 52-year-old actor was surrounded by family at the time, at St. Joseph's Hospital in Burbank, including his children, Jack, 21, and Sophie, 18, fiancé Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife Minnie Sharp, his mother, step-father and siblings.

According to TMZ, Perry's reps had sedated him after his stroke, "hoping to give his brain a fighting chance to recover from the trauma of the stroke," but "the damage was too extensive."
In a statement, his rep said, "The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world, and respectfully request privacy in this time of great mourning. No further details will be released at this time."
Riverdale's executive producers released the following statement, and temporarily shut down filming on the series: "We are deeply saddened to learn today about the passing of Luke Perry. A beloved member of the Riverdale , Warner Bros. and CW family, Luke was everything you would hope he would be: an incredibly caring, consummate professional with a giant heart, and a true friend to all. A father figure and mentor to the show's young cast, Luke was incredibly generous, and he infused the set with love and kindness. Our thoughts are with Luke's family during this most difficult time."
Perry, who was born and raised in Ohio, was previously married to Sharp – with whom he had both children – from 1993 to 2003.

He was most recently co-starring on the CW network's Riverdale as Archie's father, a role he enjoyed, he said, because "I don't need to be the frontman of the show." Indeed, Perry became an iconic face and household name in the 1990s as much for his portrayal of 90210 's Dylan McKay as his high school locker-worthy Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair covers. He starred on the popular teen show for five years before taking a three-year hiatus in 1995 to explore other, more serious roles. He returned to the series for its final two seasons, wrapping in 2000.
Perry also made notable appearances in the original film version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Oz, Wll & Grace, Spin City, Windfall, John from Cincinnati, and Body of Proof. He wrapped his final role earlier this year, in Quentin Tarantino's upcoming Charles Manson movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Plans to revive 90210 were, incidentally, announced last Wednesday, with much of the cast having signed on to return. Perry and Shannen Doherty were the only exceptions, as the series conflicted with his Riverdale shooting schedule.

But he never shied away from his love for Dylan. While speaking to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet in 2008, Perry said, "I'm going to be linked with him until I die, but that's actually just fine. I created Dylan McKay. He's mine."
Well wishes from Perry's co-stars poured in for the actor last week. Doherty (who played Dylan's love interest, Brenda Walsh, making them one of the most beloved couples in television history), told Entertainment Tonight while at a charity event over the weekend, "I can't talk about it here 'cause I will literally start crying but I love him and he knows I love him."
She added, "It's Luke, and he's my Dylan."
Dylan forever.

Married At First Sight star Susie Bradley has had to be escorted by security out of a rugby league game after clashing with other spectators.
The single mum, 25, was watching her boyfriend Todd Carney play in Byron Bay when she reportedly threw herself at another woman.
Susie Bradley was known for her fiery temper on the show.Source:Channel 9
In footage published by the Daily Mail, Bradley, can also be seen screaming at people in the crowd, pointing her finger, and throwing something.
In the footage, Bradley appears to be grabbed by security officers, who then led her away from the crowd.
The Daily Mail reports that the issue was sparked after "someone finally spoke back to" Bradley, who it's claimed was acting rudely toward some women in attendance.
"The girl just sat laughing at how ridiculous Susie was carrying on and then Susie just rushed towards her," a source told the publication.
Earlier in the day, Bradley posted a selfie from the car on her way to the game.
The exiled NRL bad boy and MAFS alum confirmed their romance in March, around the same time Bradley's appearance on the show was being aired on Nine.
They first set tongues wagging after being pictured with their arms around each other outside a Brisbane hotel the morning after Valentine's Day.

Wikipedia is blacked out across Europe in protest against laws that could change the internet forever
Isobel Asher Hamilton
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales.
Stephane Mahe/Reuters
Wikipedia's Spanish, Italian, and Polish language versions was blacked out in protest against new EU copyright reforms being voted upon on Thursday.
The new laws could force websites like Reddit to filter user content for copyright breaches and impose a "link tax" on companies including Google for linking to publishers.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales urged people to oppose the reforms. He believes they will benefit tech giants like Facebook and Google that can afford to implement the filtering software.
Wikipedia temporarily shut down in Spain, Italy and Poland in protest against new EU copyright reforms due to be voted upon on Thursday, designed to enforce copyright law online more stringently.
The European Parliament's legal affairs committee backed the changes last month, including article 13 which would force websites like Reddit to build "content recognition technologies" to scan for copyrighted images, videos, and posts.
Equally contested is article 11, which could impose a "link tax" on companies including Google for linking to publishers.
Wikipedia users in Spain, Italy and Poland were taken to a page protesting the changes. In other EU countries, including the UK, Wikipedia erected a banner at the top of the site urging people to oppose the reforms.
This message is at the top of Wikipedia in the UK.
Clicking on "contact your MEP" takes you through to a website telling you about the new laws and giving you details of how to contact your MEP. In Britain, the website is entitled changecopyright.org, although Spanish readers are taken to saveyourinternet.eu.
Some were confused as to why only certain European countries had their Wikipedia sites blacked out. Founder Jimmy Wales explained on Twitter that each individual language version decided for itself whether to shut down.
The European Commission tweeted at Wales, saying that Wikipedia and other online encyclopedias wouldn't be affected by copyright proposals.
Wales said he found this unconvincing and accused the Commission of "misleading" the public.
On BBC Radio 4 on Thursday morning, Wales said it is important that artists get paid for their work, but warned of the knock-on effects of the proposed regulations.
"One of my biggest concerns with the mandated upload filters is it would just be entrenching the power of Google and Facebook who already have the technical capacity to do this sort of thing, and smaller players, start-ups, all the other platforms people are using, are gonna be a bit shut out," he said.
The EU Parliament will vote at noon on Wednesday.

Goblin Slayer (Manga) add (All reviews)

18 people found this review helpful
Overall 5
Story 4
Enjoyment 6
I said in my previous MAL review of this series (which will have been deleted by yours truly by now) that Goblin Slayer had a strong idea for a premise, but that same premise would lead it into a repetitive and boring slog. Well, six volumes into the series, and it's already hit that point!
Story- What Story?!/10
In case you haven't heard of the anime that set the anime community ablaze last fall, let me tell you about the light novel that inspired it. Goblin Slayer takes a unique approach to fantasy in not being about chosen ones who go on grand quests, saving elf maidens, and throwing fine jewelry into volcanoes while fighting dragons and giant eyeballs, but by being about some everyday villagers- such as the titular Goblin Slayer himself- and focusing on the ongoing threat of the weakest monsters in the fantasy world, goblins.
However, goblins aren't quite that weak. They are ferocious little critters who have organized clans and hideouts filled with traps. When they find a helpless victim, well, you know the rest. Unlike the anime adaptation which turns a situation that's meant to be terrifying into a B-movie grade torture hentai, the light novels at have the right prose to get the intended point across (if only the author actually succeeded at that in the other areas of the story). But if you are as hyper-sensitive as the community was during the anime's broadcast, then I advise you leave this light novel now.
So, this is a cool premise. But it's its own worst enemy. With goblins as the sole antagonists, the characters will be fighting the same foe over and over again. Sure, there are plenty of methods and scenarios to use, but once they are all exhausted, the series will become quite repetitive. Even the actual writing feels the need to remind you at least twelve times per volume that Goblin Slayer is so great for being the only adventurerer who isn't braindead or that Elf Archer has a flat chest. Even the legitimately disturbing portrayal of the goblins gets old. But at least with the tenacity of the goblins and the constant sense of death and murder, it at least has that nice Game of Thrones-style dark fantasy realism (realistic fantasy, what an oxymoron)! Except the problem is that it somehow fails miserably at BEING a dark fantasy!
Characters- 2/10
Let me preface by saying that all the characters don't have names. Their names are as uninspired as the characters themselves. The titular character, Goblin Slayer, is the only remotely enjoyable character. He's a man who has gotten over his very generic traumatic past and dedicates his life to fighting goblins. He's smart, resourceful, and prepared. Too bad everyone else bogs him down.
You'd think that giving the spotlight to those village NPCs that the "chosen hero" always ignores would showcase how all of those NPCs are people too. People with families, hopes, dreams... just as much so as the hero. However, in execution, we instead have insufferably boring character interactions and dialogue that showcase the reason WHY the village NPCs were always ignored in other fantasies. Octopath Traveler must've taken notes from this light novel!
The author of Goblin Slayer seemed to think "eh, just throw them into a tavern" and they'd automatically have compelling character development with little to no effort. Something like that WOULD work in, say- Konosuba, but here it's just substanceless banter and harem tropes. Yes, there are harem tropes in a CYNICAL fantasy series.
That's what ultimately ruins Goblin Slayer for me; the fact that I don't even know what the heck it wants to do with itself! The dark fantasy aspects and the harem aspects clash terribly with each other. Although it tries to be "cynical" and be all like "Oh, nobody has plot armor IRL hurp derp derp!", the fantasy harem tropes and the general way the character arcs are presented end up trying to make these unremarkable characters special. And when they're special, they don the plot armor. Also, these characters never seem to have PTSD, even after watching their friends get brtually murdered in front of them. So much for realism and cynicism! Are the clashing tropes meant to illustrate how our cozy everyday lives can come to a screeching halt? Well, maybe for the boring side characters and designated goblin punching bags, but the fact that Goblin Slayer and his circle of friends very clearly wear plot armor makes this point pretty much moot in their case.
And with that, Goblin Slayer BECOMES what it was trying NOT to be, except it's an inferior form of that because those "lighter" fantasies at least had the appeal of grand quests and fighting big bads. But in Goblin Slayer, we just have living in the same village and fighting the same enemies and having the same conversations FOREVER. It's not fun.
Maybe if it employed a "parts-based" structure like Jojo, then maybe it would've been better. We could have the main characters legit die, and then it goes over to another village with a new cast of characters who have their own goblin issues. The series sort of tries to do that by having filler arcs that focus on side characters, but the fact that there are "main characters" and "side characters" in a story that's "supposed" to be entirely side characters only proves my point on how the series' themes clash with each other. In the end, it's still about Badass Mr. Perfect and which girl he'll end up with!
Art- 7/10
It's better than the rock bottom budget anime, at least.
Overall- 5/10
Goblin Slayer is a light novel that's at odds with itself. Is it cynical? No, because there's too many fantasy harem tropes. Is it a harem? No, because it's too cynical. What is Goblin Slayer trying to be? There's even some implications that the world itself is a living Dungeons and Dragons campaign, but if it weren't for the constant intermission chapters to remind me, I would've forgotten (plus this "campaign" has the most creatively brain-dead DM ever). The symbolism doesn't really change anything about the story itself, and feels like the most shallow pandering since Ready Player One. Maybe that's what Goblin Slayer is trying to be: pandering. Who knows?
Anyways, the only grounds that I can recommend this light novel in any capacity on is if you just unconditionally like dark fantasies and fantasy in general with no other stipulations attached. I, however, will be dropping this series here. I hope that if you pick this up, you will find something enjoyable about it that I didn't.

Complete the survey below and find out which of these three approaches you tend to favor and discover the skills you need to improve upon to help you achieve better results in the classroom.
THIS SURVEY REQUIRES YOU TO MAKE FORCED CHOICES.
Instructions: For each item below select either the first or the second response. If you are uncertain, choose the response that is closer to your belief about how you teach, by clicking on the button next to that response.


The decision to resurrect an old bike shouldn't be taken lightly as it often comes with more headaches, time and expense than you'd ever expect. But if you bought that bike new in 1982 and had great enjoyment on it the above mentioned issues are not given a second thought, right?
…well perhaps not if someone else is dealing with the dramas.
Ben use to love the eagerness of his Suzuki PE250 and entered a few race events with it in the 1980's. As it was mainly used as an off-road machine, lights weren't of great interest and as such removed so a tree etc didn't have to.
As the years rolled on the PE required engine refreshers but after a less-than-ideal job done somewhere the PE's mill failed. In disgust it was pushed to the back of the shed, which is where it stayed for the next 20 or so years.
We've known Ben for a long time and over the years he's mentioned looking at the motor again to get the old thing rolling again.
With his 50th birthday a year or so away we thought it was time to stop the talking and start the walking… or as it turned out, 'searching'. Parts for these old 2 strokers are not that common, especially his being the very last of the 250's, the 'Z' model. The Z didn't exist in some countries (most finishing with the 'X'), but it did in Australia.
Anyway, Ben thought his old beloved was coming in to get the engine and basic requirements sorted to get it back in the dirt… but we had other ideas and a (secret) full restoration (with the blessing of other family members) was undertaken and a finish deadline set.
As you can imagine (see pics) it had all the hallmarks of an almost 40 yer-old bike that had been used in the dirt and then stored in a shed for much of that time.
The usual cleaning, straightening, polishing, painting and coating went on in bringing this old Enduro-King back to life but the real drama was in finding original or replacement parts.
Ben did have some parts in a box but several moves had seen many of the original removed items disappear.
Thankfully the plastics are still available as a kit but unlike the availability of parts for its more popular stablemate the RM250, things like the gauge, indicators, unique grill headlight cover and graphics were not.
Whilst many parts were common to the X model (1980 - 81), the graphics weren't so we used a combination of Z PE175 and custom made graphics to suit the original Z 250 livery.
A very similar looking 140 km/h DR200 speedo serves where the seemingly unobtainable original 160km/h one use to be. An original headlight grill was found in Finland and delivered in the quickest time we've ever experienced from overseas… we had it in our hands the next day… bizarre!
A few sets of original indicators were found, the best of which were cleaned up and used.
Several original tanks were found to replace the existing one but unfortunately all plastic PE tanks suffer the same fate unless they've continuously had fuel in them and have been kept out of the sun. Even if a tank looks great but hasn't had fuel in it for a while, when you do it will split not too far into the future. UK delivered PE's had aluminium tanks but these are indeed a rare item.
Ben has an original looking tank for display purposes but uses a modern replacement when riding. If any one knows of an aluminium British one to suit a '80 - '82 PE, Oh and one of the special tools that lives on the front plate, we're all ears.
Back to the story… the bike was rewired, the carb overhauled, exhaust cleaned out, repaired and hi-temp coated, the seat was re-foamed and covered.
New rims and spokes laced to refurbished hubs with new brakes now wear Dunlop D606 rubber. New Ikon rear shocks adorn the rear whilst the front suspension was rebuilt. All consumable items were replaced and others refurbished or replaced also.
Whilst this is not a completely accurate restoration it turned out pretty damn well and when it was ridden into Ben's 50th birthday celebration it was met with surprise and much appreciation.

Stotra Paata
Categories: For Men
To attain the path of path of Moksha, the chanting of daily Stotras, Vedas, Upanishads which are part of Vaidika Principles are to be followed. But how to concentrate on the Supreme Lord and remember him as he is everywhere but cannot be put into one form or shape, a difficult task. The people/sages who have seen the Supreme Lord are not with us and hence cannot seek their guidance. The very same sages/people who have seen the supreme Lord have composed many intense meditating hymns/lyrics which are with us to follow. If we follow and adapt this in our daily life, let there not be any doubt of our life fulfilment.

I am a consultant in the Private Sector Development theme. I also do some work in the Impact Investing theme and work on women's economic empowerment for the Gender theme.
My job involves a massive variation of things! The bulk of my work is providing monitoring, research and learning support to DFID programmes. For example, I support the M&E sections of the BEAM Exchange and am currently co-writing a BEAM paper on measuring attribution, which has involved loads of interviews with experts on the subject. It has been great fun and very interesting.
I got into the development field through the community work my family did when I was a kid. We lived in Malawi and my uncle ran a community centre in a rural village that offered clean water, mosquito nets, and childcare.
My first 'real job' was doing research on sanitation in the informal settlements in Cape Town. This meant spending all day taking surveys of the levels of human waste overflowing into people's homes. I ruined many pairs of shoes! This job got me excited about the power of numbers and good evidence, which is why I got into M&E.
I enjoy the fact that economic development is really one big puzzle! Thinking about big problems, like how to help women enter into the retail sector in Kenya, or what jobs could be available to young women who cannot leave their house in Nigeria, is always challenging and keeps the brain churning!
I also enjoy how versatile my work is. One day I could be reading piles of articles on how to measure unpaid work and on another listening to a talk on how technology changes work for women in developing countries.
What innovations have you noticed in your sector?
There is a real move towards more participative monitoring and reporting, which I think is very important in terms of giving beneficiaries a voice and a platform to tell their own stories.
"Why aren't development programmes accountable to the beneficiaries they are meant to serve?" It got me thinking what indicators beneficiaries would want us to report to them on and how different this would be to the things donors want to know.
I have not travelled with Itad yet, but I lived in Mombasa for work last year and I loved it there. Mainly because the food is so delicious and spicy!

This is how the ignorati define success!
The Institute for Policy Integrity tracks the outcomes of litigation over the Trump administration's deregulatory efforts in this Roundup. The Roundup includes litigation over federal agency rule suspensions; repeals; rescissions; efforts to weaken regulations through guidance, memoranda, amendments, or replacements; and other agency actions.
The Trump Administration has lost 34 of 36 cases regarding deregulation attempts that ended up in the courts.
As has been pointed out before, Trump has actually cut the number of regulations he claims. Trump doesn't accomplish most of the stuff he claims! The regulations he "cut" upon entering office weren't regulations...they were proposed or hadn't been finalized.
His record on cutting actual in force regulations, like his record on everything else, is abysmal. Why does Trump keep losing???Easy.
He doesn't know what he's doing. He has no experience. He has no expertise in any subject. He doesn't know the law. He doesn't know the constitution. He doesn't listen to anyone when they tell them what he can/can't do.
In other words, he is inept, incompetent and completely unfit for the job.


Time for my quarterly catch up. Summer absolutely flew by so I figured we could recap the top events by category: trips, books, and food & wine.
In June Daniel and I made a trip to Iowa for my cousin's wedding which I actually did manage to cover in this post. Following the wedding, I tacked on a week in the Midwest visiting friends from college and old colleagues. What a blast!
Unfortunately, I was having so much fun catching up with everyone, I took very few photos. A huge THANK YOU to Clarisa, Katelyn and Dave, Will and Melissa, John and Ellen, and Stacey and Lindsey, for being such gracious hosts on my house-hopping tour.
Nobody likes good-byes so let's just fast forward to the next fun trip – my niece's first birthday party in August! She is such a doll, and growing wayyy too fast.
The trip was sweetened even more by a much needed reunion with my Grandma. I just love that picture of her wearing Eva's decorations during the post-party clean up.
Next, I racked up some more airline miles two weeks later joining the class of 2006 for our ten year reunion. I'm sure I wasn't alone in feeling a little uneasy heading into that night full of expectation and anticipation. Should've known it would be like old times only better because we weren't picking food out of our braces :). Truly, everyone looked amazing – this must be our prime. Wonder what we'll be saying in ten more years! Sadly, this was my only photo of the entire night. What was I thinking????
I also got to spend some more quality time at home with my family. Dad sure does know how to pick that wine.
The last noteworthy trip of the summer was one Daniel took the lead planning over Labor Day. He managed to find us a perfect spot in Fort Bragg, a historical coastal town about 3.5 hours north of San Francisco which was first established prior to the American Civil War as a military garrison. Later, it became a popular lumber mill town due to the abundance of Redwood trees.
We though we avoided our "romantic" hotel tub we still had a very relaxing long weekend full of beach bumming (Charlie was in heaven) and beer tasting. We also met a super nice couple one evening who was grilling up a storm next to our table as Daniel and I were settling in to watch the sunset. (They probably thought we looked pretty pathetic with our screw top wine and Ziploc of grapes.) All of a sudden, they were serving us steak, baked beans, and homegrown squash. Yes, please! As if the trip could get any better, the next morning Daniel slipped out to bring me Starbucks in bed. I am one lucky girl.
My job gives me the opportunity to network with really smart people over pretty incredible meals. Top lunches this summer go to Sauce, serving up a beautiful baked salmon atop a kale & quinoa salad with a balsamic drizzle and mustard dipping sauce. I can't think of a better flavor combo. I can't, but the executive Chef at Mourad can. Check out that presentation. The smoked salmon was mind blowing, paired with pickled peppers, a dijon mousse and flower petals. That's what a Michelin star looks like folks.
As for wine, Daniel and I tried two new wine bars in the city. Nectar in the Marina serves up a really broad list of flights and wines by the glass in a lounge-y atmosphere with great service from the owners themselves. Tofino is off the beaten path on Geary and Masonic and was equally charming. We were served by April who opened the wine store & bar with her husband about 15 months ago. I found my new favorite wine there too – 2015 Poivre et Sel from France which retails for $19-$24. It's on the lighter side, pretty close to a Pinot Noir.
We did this hike again. The lake was even more beautiful this time!
And what's summer without baseball? Go Giants!
And there you have it. As the summer wraps up, we're already looking forward to the holidays! What have you been doing, reading, and eating this summer?

Competition is an integral element of the market. If you are an electronics manufacturer and you want to thrive, you can't settle for just anything that brings you some income. You have to move forward and try to be better than the others. Otherwise, the cruel world will chew you up and spit you out at the far end of the food chain. With this thought in mind, Dell has just announced the Venue 11 Pro which challenges Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 in terms of size, speed and options.
At first glance, the new Dell Venue 11 Pro is very similar to Microsoft's offering. It's not the appearance that counts most, though, but what is inside and there is quite a lot to boast about. The tablet will be available in several versions, each with a different processor, RAM and storage configuration.
The most basic model is powered by a fast 2GHz Intel Core i3 chip and packs 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory. If you need more storage, you can opt for a 128GB model. Dell will also sell the Venue 11 Pro with even snappier Core i5 chip paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
All variants have 10.8-inch 1920 x 1080 displays, 8-megapixel rear cameras, 2-megapixel sensors on the front, microSD card slots, integrated dual-microphone arrays and speakers. There is also full-sized USB 3.0, micro HDMI ports, NFC and sensor hubs including a gyroscope, G-sensor, and proximity sensor. As for connectivity, the slate offers Wi-Fi 802.11ac 2×2, Bluetooth 4.0, and the option of an LTE/HSPA+ modem.
The Venue 11 Pro is compatible with a selection of accessories to make work easier and more productive. For example, the Mobile Keyboard has full-sized keys and rechargeable battery that can double the tablet's battery life, and the Dock can hook up two monitors via HDMI and DisplayPort. The tablet also comes with an active stylus pen and slim keyboard.
The device will be available for pre-order on November 11th and prices will start at $699 for the most basic model with the stylus pen and slim keyboard included.

André-Claude Sylvain Louis Lacoste, dit André-Claude Lacoste, né le  à Neuilly-sur-Seine, est un haut fonctionnaire français qui a dirigé les instances de sûreté nucléaire entre 1993 et 2012, et notamment présidé l'Autorité de sûreté nucléaire (ASN) entre 2006 et 2012.

Il est, depuis septembre 2013, président de l'Institut pour une culture de sécurité industrielle (Icsi) et de la Fondation pour une culture de sécurité industrielle (Foncsi).

Biographie
Son père était officier du génie militaire et ingénieur géographe et sa mère femme au foyer.
Avec ses parents, il passe trois années de son enfance à Madagascar et en Afrique-Equatoriale française. L'un de ses grands-pères était commissaire de la marine et l'autre officier,  mort durant la Première Guerre mondiale.

Il entre à l'École polytechnique en 1960 et sort classé  en 1962, puis il entre en 1963 à l'École des mines de Paris et sort en 1966, classé . En 1965, il fait son stage d'ingénieur dans les mines lorsque s'est produit un accident dans la mine d'Avion. Il conduit alors l'équipe chargée d'aller récupérer les corps de 21 ouvriers décédés.

Il est marié, sans enfant.

Carrière
Il fait partie du Corps des mines, il commence sa carrière de haut fonctionnaire au ministère de l'Industrie, exclusivement dans les services régionaux ou parisiens de l'Administration française, ce qui est exceptionnel parmi les membres du Corps des mines. Il est nommé au grade d'ingénieur général en 1987.

Premiers postes dans le Nord-pas-de-Calais
Il est successivement :
 Ingénieur des mines, chargé du sous-arrondissement minéralogique de Valenciennes (1966-1969)
 Ingénieur des mines, chargé du sous-arrondissement minéralogique de Lille et chargé de mission auprès du préfet de région Nord-Pas-de-Calais pour l'industrie, la recherche et la reconversion du bassin minier (1969-1971)
 Chef de l'arrondissement minéralogique de Douai et en même temps directeur de l'École des mines de Douai (1971-1978) ;  En 1974, il se trouve en première ligne lors de la catastrophe minière de Liévin, qui fit 42 morts. Jean-Michel Yolin qui est alors un de ses adjoints lui succédera dans ces deux fonctions en 1978.

Postes au ministère de l'Industrie
 En 1978, il rejoint l'administration centrale du ministère chargé de l'Industrie à Paris. De 1978 à 1979, il occupe ainsi le poste de Chef des services de la Sécurité industrielle.
 De 1979 à 1982, il est adjoint du directeur de la Qualité et de la Sécurité industrielles au ministère de l'Industrie. En même temps, il est chef des services de sécurité industrielle de cette direction. À cette époque, le contrôle de la Sûreté nucléaire dans les installations d'EDF ou de Framatome était principalement réalisé par un service du CEA, compétent certes, mais non placé sous contrôle de l'Administration française. A.C. Lacoste fait valoir que le sujet est trop important pour être entièrement délégué à un établissement public à caractère industriel et commercial, et obtient la création de moyens centraux de l'État pour le contrôle et la nomination de fonctionnaires techniquement compétents comme inspecteurs des installations nucléaires.
 De 1982 à 1993, il continue à occuper des postes importants d'Administration centrale au ministère chargé de l'industrie, s'occupant notamment de l'Action régionale pour la Sécurité et la Compétitivité Industrielles et occupant à deux reprises, de 1990 à 1993, la fonction d'adjoint à un directeur général du ministère.

Postes pour la sûreté nucléaire
 En 1993, il est nommé directeur de la Sûreté des installations nucléaires (DSIN).
 En 2002, son poste est renommé directeur général de la sûreté nucléaire et de la radioprotection (DGSNR) et étendu à la radioprotection. Toutefois, A-C Lacoste milite pour que la Sûreté nucléaire soit confiée à une Autorité indépendante. Il s'agit en effet d'affirmer l'indépendance de la Sûreté nucléaire par rapport à EDF et à sa tutelle, et d'autoriser la nouvelle Autorité à s'exprimer librement sans contrôle préalable par un cabinet ministériel.
 En 2006, le président Jacques Chirac le nomme président de la nouvelle Autorité de sûreté nucléaire (ASN).
 Depuis , il est membre du Haut Comité pour la transparence et l'information sur la sécurité nucléaire (HCTISN) au titre de représentant de l'Autorité de sûreté nucléaire.
 A-C Lacoste est membre fondateur (1997) de l'Association internationale des autorités de sûreté nucléaire (INRA), une association qui regroupe les dirigeants des Autorités de sûreté nucléaire de l'Allemagne (GRS), du Canada (CCSN), de la Corée (KINS), de l'Espagne (CSN), des États-Unis (NRC), de la France (ASN), du Japon (NISA), du Royaume-Uni (ONR) et de la Suède (SSM).
 Il est aussi membre fondateur (1999) de WENRA (Western European Nuclear Regulators Association), association européenne regroupant les dirigeants des autorités de sûreté nucléaire.
 Il est membre de droit du conseil d'administration de l'Institut de radioprotection et de sûreté nucléaire (IRSN).
 Les 28 et , il est vice-président de la première conférence européenne de l'ENSREG sur la sûreté nucléaire à Bruxelles
 Son mandat à l'ASN - de six ans non renouvelable - est arrivé à échéance le . Le président de la République François Hollande a nommé Pierre-Franck Chevet pour le remplacer, tandis qu'A-C Lacoste continuerait à assumer des responsabilités au niveau international.

Accident nucléaire de Fukushima

En , lors de l'annonce de l'accident nucléaire de Fukushima, André-Claude Lacoste s'est très rapidement exprimé sur l'importance du sinistre et ses conséquences. Il a déclaré que sur l'échelle INES de 1 à 7, l'accident n'était pas au niveau 4 comme les Japonais le prétendaient, mais au niveau 5 ou 6. Mardi , il a situé le niveau à 6, contredisant là encore les Japonais. Les jours suivants, il suit de très près les événements et communique abondamment sur les différents points techniques et organisationnels de l'accident. Il affirme notamment que .

Mardi , auditionné à l'Assemblée nationale, André-Claude Lacoste déclare .

Dans les mois qui ont suivi l'accident de Fukushima, André-Claude Lacoste a piloté une évaluation complémentaire de sûreté, un réexamen de sûreté ciblé sur les problématiques soulevées par l'accident nucléaire de Fukushima, à savoir la résistance des installations nucléaires françaises à des phénomènes naturels extrêmes conduisant à un accident grave. Cette démarche s'inscrit dans le cadre de la réalisation de tests de résistance de sûreté ou "stress tests" demandée par le Conseil européen. Il a d'ailleurs présenté de nombreux résultats à un an de la catastrophe, afin de tirer des conclusions du mode de gestion des crises nucléaires qui avait été utilisé, et de définir de nouvelles règles de sûreté pour les installations françaises.

Eagle Ford gives region a shot in the wallet
The Eagle Ford Shale is turning out to be more than an oil boom. It's also a shot in the wallet, pulling up personal income in counties across the region — some of the poorest in the state.
With a sudden abundance of well-paying oil field jobs, counties with Eagle Ford Shale wells permitted or in production saw an average increase in per capita income of 13.62 percent between 2008 and 2011, according to data from the U.S. Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Texas as a whole saw an increase in per capita income of 1.34 percent during that time period, which included the last recession. Average pay reached $40,147.
The average Eagle Ford county's per capita income increased from $28,148.92 in 2008, when the boom started, to $31,893.92 in 2011, the latest year for which data is available.
In some counties, income growth outpaced Texas as a whole even more dramatically.
"There's full employment, literally," said Larry Dovalina, city administrator in Cotulla in La Salle County, where personal income rose 31 percent in the wake of the oil boom. "Everybody who wants a job has one."
Dovalina said all employers have had to raise wages to try to retain workers, even for service jobs. The local McDonald's has a "help wanted" sign with pay at $10 an hour, and Dovalina said that each time a new hotel opens to cater to energy companies, maids are able to jump to new jobs at higher pay.

Kansas man charged in 1980 fatal shooting of nursing student
KS suspect jailed on $500,000 bond with no attorney
Fox News Flash top headlines for December 12
A Kansas man has been charged in the 1980 shooting death of a 23-year-old neighbor after investigators who reexamined her death turned up new evidence, authorities said.
Kansas Bureau of Investigation officers arrested 68-year-old Steven Hanks, of Burden, on Thursday on a charge of second-degree murder in the death of Mary Robin Walter, who was a wife, mother and nursing school student when she was killed, Barton County Sheriff Brian Bellendir said at a news conference Friday. He is jailed on $500,000 bond and doesn't have an attorney, according to court records.
Bellendir said Detective Sgt. Adam Hales decided in April to reopen the investigation into the Jan. 24, 1980, killing, which happened at a trailer park near the airport in Great Bend, a city of about 15,000 residents in central Kansas.
"After taking a fresh look at the case, it became evident that some of the information had been initially overlooked and some had been added at a later date," the sheriff said. "This was unknown to the original investigators."
FORMER KANSAS DETECTIVE, THREE OTHERS INDICTED FOR FORCING WOMEN TO PERFORM SEX ACTS
Bellendir directed two additional officers to join the investigation. In October, new evidence was discovered, though authorities declined to disclose it.
A Kansas man has been charged in the 1980 fatal shooting of a nursing student. Steven Hanks was charged of second-degree murder and jailed on a $500,000 bond with no attorney.
Bellendir said Hanks was investigated as a suspect immediately after the shooting, "but the case went cold." He didn't disclose a possible motive for the killing.
Hanks spent time in prison for another crime. He was arrested in 1981 and charged with rape, battery, robbery and burglary. He was sentenced in 1983 and discharged in 1993, according to online records from the Kansas Department of Corrections.

Indiana K-9 officer killed in the line of duty
Two people are in custody and a K-9 officer is dead after a manhunt in Fishers early Wednesday morning.
By: WRTV Staff
Posted at 6:28 AM, Nov 13, 2019
FISHERS, Ind. — The Fishers Police Department said Wednesday that one of its K-9 officers was killed during a manhunt for two suspects.
Harlej (pronounced Harley), a 5-year-old Belgian Malinois, was killed early Wednesday morning. The department says the line-of-duty death is the first in department history.
The incident began when officers attempted to stop a possible drunk driver just after midnight on I-69. After a brief chase, the suspects stopped the car and fled from their vehicle.
Officers sent Harlej to find the suspects. While he was searching in a wooded area, officers heard what they believed were gunshots.
Harlej was later found dead in the woods. Two suspects, a man and a woman, were taken into custody. Their identities have not yet been released.
The male suspect was treated for dog bite injuries and released back into police custody.
"It is my belief that he saved lives last night and we're thankful for his sacrifice," Fishers Police Department Chief Ed Gebhart said during a press conference early Wednesday morning.
Police are still searching for a weapon in the area where the suspects were taken into custody.
Harlej joined the Fishers Police Department in 2015 and has had a "very successful career," according to Gebhart.
"We would ask for the community to be patient with us," Gebhart said.
Harlej's death is the first line-of-duty death for the department since it opened in 1994.
