Kailash Satyarthi stresses on need for child-friendly policing
HYM Staff October 27, 2017	News
Hyderabad: Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi has exhorted for an urgent need for child-friendly policing in India.
Delivering the 32nd Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Memorial Lecture on the topic "Role of Police in Safe Childhoods – Safe India" at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy here on Friday, Satyarthi suggested seven steps for making a safe India for safety of children through sensitizing the police.
The measures include Policy initiatives; Institutional mechanism in place; Education; Capacity building to eradicate this social evil; Accountability of the authorities in particular and citizens in general; Technological interventions and societal engagement.
Satyarthi addressed a combined session of 122 IPS Probationers of 69 RR and 14 foreign Probationers currently undergoing basic training at the Academy. His message was filled with sensitization and inspiration to the budding young Probationers.
He honestly expressed that a child feel safest when surrounded by police and he also revealed that he is the proud son of a policeman.
He explained, on the one hand how civilization and slavery cannot go hand-in-hand and on the other hand, he explained the organic linkages between child labour and exploitation; poverty; unemployment and illiteracy. He exhorted for an urgent need for child-friendly policing and also gave the following
Finally, he gave a clarion call to the young aspiring police probationers "to save India by doing a bit by everybody which can make children safe in the world". Later, Satyarthi also interacted with the IPS Probationers in the Central IPS Mess of the Academy.
Earlier, he paid respects at the Martyrs' Memorial by laying a wreath and then proceeded to deliver the lecture at the Academy Auditorium along with D.R. Doley Barman, Director of the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy. (INN)

If you're not a software developer but need to make quick measurements using real instruments – this requires little programming experience. However, to be clear, coding with LabVIEW requires you to follow good programming practices just like any other programming language. Like with any other programming language, garbage in equals garbage out.
If you need tight integration between software and measurement/control hardware. LabVIEW has two targets that allow synchronization between measured inputs and calculated outputs. The first has on the order of 1 ms jitter and uses LabVIEW RT. The second has jitter on the order of 1 ns jitter and uses LabVIEW FPGA.
Because your company is already heavily invested in the ecosystem – I know this sounds sort of like a "if Billy jumped off a bridge" analogy, but it's not. While this isn't my favorite reason to use LabVIEW, pragmatically, LabVIEW is a tool, and if your company is already heavily using this toolset, then you may be doing more harm than good by creating a separate parallel toolset to have to work with. Now you need to maintain multiple environments and maintain the expertise in two toolsets.
It's well-supported within the test & measurement community – from toolkits, to instrument drivers, to consultants that can step in if your main LabVIEW guy unexpectedly decides to leave your company.
The development environment is user friendly.
National Instruments works hard to make the LabVIEW development environment consistent across hardware platforms, from PCs running Windows to embedded controllers running a real-time Linux OS with connections to FPGAs for tight synchronization I/O. Most differences are included to take advantage of the resources of the specific platform so that the learning curve between platforms is about as small as it can get.
The data flow paradigm inherent in LabVIEW makes coding parallel operations trivial.
Each VI, which would be called a function in most other languages, comes with a user interface and a code block. Since you create a user interface for each function, debugging is much more visual than using user-defined breakpoints and probes.
LabVIEW's brings together all the code, hardware, and build definitions into one location under the Project Window.
Another closely related question that you might want an answer to is "What is LabVIEW used for?". This article explains the main applications that LabVIEW is used for, with case studies, how LabVIEW interacts with the real world, and what hardware LabVIEW runs on. If you need LabVIEW help and want to know what your options are, check out this article on LabVIEW Help – What are my options?.

About Kiwanis
Kiwanis International
Brief History of Kiwanis
The first Kiwanis club was organized in Detroit, Michigan. The group received a charter from the state of Michigan on January 21, 1915, and this is regarded as the birth date of Kiwanis.
The first clubs were organized to promote the exchange of business among the members. However, even before the Detroit club received its state charter, the members were distributing Christmas baskets to the poor. A lively debate ensued between those who supported community service as the Kiwanis mission and those who supported the exchange of business. By 1919, the service advocates won the debate.
Kiwanis became international with the organization of the Kiwanis club of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, in 1916. Kiwanis limited its membership to the United States and Canada until 1962, when worldwide expansion was approved. Since then, Kiwanis has spread to all inhabited continents of the globe.
Kiwanis was defined as "an organization for men" in the constitution adopted in 1924. In 1987, after several years of debate and growing support, women's membership received overwhelming approval.
Six Canadians have served as Kiwanis International President.
Objects of Kiwanis
To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.
To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationship.
To promote the adoption and application of high social, business, and professional standards.
To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive and serviceable citizenship.
To provide, through Kiwanis Clubs, a practical means to from enduring friendship, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.
To co-operate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism, which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism and good will.

Selling online: How Do I Choose a Niche?
When a seller first decides to start a e-commerce business, one of the first things they need to do is find a niche. That is not always easy as it sounds, but fotunately, there are some ideas you can use to help you decide.
First,consider the old adage "do what you love and the money will follow." Choosing a niche that you are passionate about is usually a great place to start because you already have some knowledge and experience that can help you decide what to sell. As an example, if you like to go cycling then you generally already have a lot (or at least some) knowledge about helmets, bikes, clothing and riding gear. You know what you like and you probably have a fairly good idea of what the "hot" items are for cycling right now. This is a GREAT place to start building your niche on the Internet.
What do you do though if the things you like and are passionate about aren't really the types of things that sell very well? Say, that maybe you still love collecting Beanie Babies even though they really don't generate the kind of money that they use to. Well, instead of trying to sell something that won't return much of a profit, think about something else that you are interested in — maybe a new hobby or lifestyle that you would like to get into. You can then research those types of items right on the Internet and see how they rank and how well those types of items are selling. Take it one step further, however, and do some additional research by reading books or magazines on the subject. Think "outside the box." Do you see an upcoming trend that no one on the Internet is aware of yet? Well, there's your niche.
It is possible, of course, that even though you have a hobby or an interest it still doesn't translate into something that you can make money on. If so — don't despair. You can always fall back on the tried and true "keyword search" and good old "market research." Many people make a good living on eBay and Amazon by selling the discontinued grocery items and clearance items that they find at stores like Kohl's, Target, other "big box" stores, and local grocery stores. Some people even find their niche in items that are popular in their region or state, but hard to find anywhere else.
Once you choose your niche, I think you will be surprised at how the opportunities start presenting themselves. As you gain experience, you will begin seeing the trends before they happen and know what items are worth listing and what items aren't.
So — what will your niche be?

Shakeup Atop the Pebble Limited Partnership
KDLG 670AM
Published February 3, 2014 at 6:33 PM AKST
There has been a major change in leadership at the Pebble Limited Partnership. John Shively has been the Partnership's CEO since 2008 but he's stepping aside to take over as the Chairman of the Partnership's Board of Directors. In a prepared statement the Pebble Limited Partnership says this move will allow Shively to be part of the strategic leadership team working on advancing the Pebble Mine project. Shively will be replaced as CEO by attorney Tom Collier with the international law firm of Steptoe and Johnson. Collier is a former Chief of Staff for former Department of the Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt. He is touted as an expert in guiding companies successfully through the federal environmental permitting process with a specific emphasis on 404-wetlands permits. His past clients include the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company and Conoco Phillips. In a prepared statement, John Shively noted that the goal in the year ahead is to focus on advancing the Pebble project and to initiate permitting. New CEO Tom Collier is quoted as saying that he's confident that the Pebble Mine can succeed in getting permitted.

I bought this to use for my son when he started weaning. It is large enough to hold his lunch, water, and a variety of snacks. It is insulated, which keeps everything cool and lasts the whole day if out. The mesh pocket inside is great for keeping wipes, spoons or a bib in. The design is very stylish and looks funky. Would certainly recommend to a friend!
My 4 year old little girl has been using the zoo lunchie bag for her sandwiches at school. Very good product holds all she needs for her lunch, easy to wipe clean on the inside, looks great on the outside has a mesh pocket on the inside which is very handy i would recommend the zoo lunchie bag its fab.

Egypt's top court orders temporary suspension of YouTube
APMay 26, 2018
An Egyptian court has ordered the suspension for one month of video-sharing website, YouTube, and others sharing a video found to be insulting the Muslim Prophet Mohammed.
The Supreme Administrative Court's ruling on Saturday dismisses appeals against a similar 2013 ruling, including one by the National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority which said the ruling's application is not feasible.
Saturday's verdict is final and cannot be appealed.
In 2012, the 14-minute trailer video titled "The Innocence of Muslims," which appeared on YouTube, triggered protests across the Muslim world, including in Egypt.
The video can still be found on YouTube with a disclaimer saying it has been found "inappropriate or offensive to some audiences."
It remains unclear whether the ruling will be enforced. YouTube has remained accessible as of yet.

Landlords: moving season is almost here.
Summer is a time of school breaks, work vacations, and beautiful weather. It's also a popular time for people to graduate from college or get married — all major life changes that often result in a move. These factors combine to make summer the highest season for apartment turnovers.
Scheduling these turnovers is a time-intensive task for most landlords because it involves finding and scheduling painters, carpet cleaners, and any other service providers they need to restore the apartment. It can also be an expensive process. Multifamily Insiders estimates the average cost of an apartment turnover to be $4,047. The truth is that the more people you have to hire, the more time, money, and coordination is required.
• Carpet cleaning: Carpets take the brunt of wear and tear. We'll thoroughly clean the carpet, removing stains, odors, and general filth.
• Apartment painting: A fresh coat of paint is one of the best ways to spruce up an apartment. Our professionals will leave the walls looking brand-new.
• Bathtub refinishing: If the bathtub is yellowed, cracked, or shabby, we'll refinish it for a fraction of the cost of buying a new one. Our refinishing process leaves it in pristine condition.
• Countertop resurfacing: We can also resurface the countertops. This process effectively erases any blemishes, returning the countertops to their original sparkling state.
With Tri-Star Refinishing apartment turnovers aren't stressful or complicated. We're the one-stop shop to a perfectly restored apartment. We also specialize in residential tub refinishing. If your tub at home needs a makeover, contact www.tri-star-bathtub-refinishing.com at 877-610-8827 to make an appointment. We look forward to serving you.

Ysaÿe M. Barnwell: The Meaning of Life and The 4 Aphorisms
By Excellence Reporter on February 24, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )
Excellence Reporter: Dr. Barnwell, what is the meaning of life?
Ysaÿe M. Barnwell: At some point, each human being will probably try to figure out the meaning of life.
Perhaps meaning can be inferred from purpose. I really feel the purpose of life, with all of its complexities, is the opportunity we are each given "to figure it out":
to figure out who or what is in control of our individual lives;
if we are not in control of our individual lives, shoud we try to establish a relationship with who or what is in control of life, or of our lives;
to determine what is shaping who we are;
to determine the kind of person we are, and the rules and circumstances that allow or force us as individuals to be who we are;
to determine what is of value and why;
to make a positive contribution to the annals of the history of humankind;
to know love in all forms: hopefully, given and received.
I have 4 aphorisms that have guided my adult life:
to whom much is given, much is required
everything matters!
say 'yes'!
~Ysaÿe M. Barnwell Ph.D. MSPH, is a commissioned composer, arranger, author, actress and former member of the African American female a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey In The Rock.

Swansea University's appeal deadline 'inconsiderate and unthinking'
2013 Mehefin 26 4:11 PM
The Welsh Liberal Democrat Assembly Member for South Wales West, Peter Black has criticised Swansea University for the seven-day deadline it imposes on students wishing to appeal against their degree results.
Mr. Black was speaking after the recent publication of Which? research that has found large differences between UK universities over the timeframe within which students can appeal a degree grade. Swansea University has the shortest deadline in the country.
Mr. Black said: "Quite obviously there have to be deadlines for students who want to appeal against their final examination grades; but seven days is both inconsiderate and unthinking.
"Appealing against a final degree result is a big step for any student. They need to take time to think carefully, and listen to advice from lecturers, administrators, and tutors some of whom may not be available to suit the University's seven-day window of opportunity. Students will also need to get advice on how to frame an appeal before writing it.
"Seven days is simply not long enough. Which? has suggested that the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) in England should set a common deadline for all universities. That seems to me to be eminently sensible
"In the meantime, Swansea University must think again about its responsibility to treat students compassionately at a stressful time in their lives, and extend its seven-day deadline to something more reasonable."

Jury awards plaintiffs $31M in lawsuit over Kobe Bryant crash photos – CNN
Bryant was awarded $16 million in damages and Chris Chester was awarded $15 million.
Immediately after the verdict was read, Bryant hugged her lawyers. As she continued to cry, Bryant then tearfully hugged her daughter Natalia in the front row. She left the courthouse without making a statement.
"While we disagree with the jury's findings regarding the County's liability, we believe the monetary award shows that jurors did not believe the evidence supported the plaintiffs' claim of $75 million for emotional distress," said county attorney Mira Hashmall, who led the way out. councilor for LA County. "We will discuss next steps with our client. In the meantime, we hope the Bryant and Chester families continue to heal from their tragic loss."
The federal jury found both the sheriff and Fire Departments lacked proper policies and training that caused the violation of rights. The only plaintiff claim not supported by jurors was in a finding that the county fire department was not responsible for any longstanding widespread practice or custom of taking illegal photographs. The sheriff's department was found responsible for the same issue.
At issue in the trial were photographs taken by LA County deputies and firefighters that included not only wreckage from the helicopter, but the mangled bodies of those killed including. NBA star Kobe Bryanthis daughter Gianna, Chester's wife Sarah, his daughter Payton and five others.
The National Transportation Safety Board determined the helicopter pilot pushed the limits of bad weather flight rules before he crashed into a mountainside in Calabasas, California.
Bryant and Chester argued that the photos of their loved ones caused emotional distress and violated their privacy. Everyone testified to living in fear that the photos might surface, despite LA County's claim, every image was destroyed.
Jurors listened to 11 days of graphic testimony. Witnesses during the trial included a deputy who said he showed graphic images of the scene while at a bar, another deputy who said he shared photos while playing a video game, a deputy who sent dozens of photos to someone he did not know, and a fire official who showed the images to other staff during award ceremony cocktail hour.
In September 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an invasion of privacy bill called the "Kobe Bryant Act" which makes it illegal for first responders to share photos of a deceased person at a crime scene "for any purpose other than an official law enforcement purpose." The felony is punishable by up to $1,000 per violation.
Coincidentally, Los Angeles named Wednesday, August 24, as "Kobe Bryant Day" to honor the Los Angeles Lakers star's two jersey numbers, 8 and 24, that he wore during his NBA career. The Lakers retired both numbers.
Defense wanted to separate emotions from legality
Deliberations began Wednesday shortly after a Los Angeles County attorney argued the trial was a "picture case without pictures," noting that the gruesome photos of human remains were never actually seen by the public — or even by the plaintiffs.
"No pictures is good. No pictures means no public dissemination … no risk of other people making mistakes," county attorney Mira Hashmall said in closing arguments of the trial.
In an emotional rebuttal, Bryant's attorney Luis Li argued Wednesday that the county's actions in taking such photos were reckless and inhumane and caused emotional distress.
"They poured salt into an incurable wound and that is why we are all here today," he said.
During closing arguments Wednesday, attorneys for Los Angeles County sought to separate Vanessa Bryant's emotional testimony from the legal issues the jury must consider.
Hashmall argued that the district's actions to remove the photos resulted in them never being distributed publicly, and she argued further that first responders taking photos did not violate Bryant's rights.
She urged the jury to consider the law, which only allows a verdict against the district if it can be proven district policies were flawed enough to prevent the spread of the photos or if there is a long-standing habit of such behavior within the sheriff and fire department. departments
"If the county didn't take (the photo sharing) seriously, why is this whole case based on the county's investigation?" she said.
Jurors also struggled with what constitutes "the public" in that case. The plaintiffs argued that any deputy without investigative reason to have the photos should be considered public. One of the deputies shared photos containing human remains with another deputy while they were playing the video game "Call of Duty," and another showed them to a bartender he considered a friend.
Hashmall agreed that was wrong, but asked the jury to consider whether it "shocked the conscience," a legal threshold the jury must consider in reaching its verdict.
"Does it shock the conscience that he needed to speak?" Hashmall asked. She also noted that the deputy was disciplined for his actions. "That's not a constitutional issue, that's a county issue," she said.
In their rebuttal, Bryant's attorneys argued that the photos could still exist because one of the deputies AirDropped them to a firefighter who was not identified. They also argued that the district inadequately investigated the incident, which allowed photos of human remains to potentially surface.
The rejection evoked tears from Vanessa Bryant and Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka in the courtroom. He, Bryant's attorney, said the jury's decision is "important for families all over the United States who may suffer a tragedy at some point."
Referring to testimony given by veteran police officers including Sheriff Alex Villanueva, Li reminded the jury of a practice of first responders to keep "death records" because the Polaroid was around. He told the jury: "This has been going on for decades. Make it stop."
Bryant sobbed audibly and grabbed tissues as Li stated that photos of the bodies of family members being torn apart are private and should not be shared with deputies just "because they're wearing a badge the next morning, to offer. [the photos] to their wife."
Describing how deputies had to go to find Gianna Bryant's remains in a ravine to photograph her, Li asked, "Does that shock the conscience?"
He said that while there is no jury form to check a box for better training, better policies or more discipline, there is only a box that jurors can check for damages: "Whatever you put in that box will serve to illuminate the legacy . by Kobe and Gianna Bryant."
He ended by applauding the two whistleblowers, one of whom was sitting in the courtroom. He was emotional as he said, "But for those people, we might never have heard of this."
CNN's Cheri Mossburg contributed to this report.

Any headline you've read about Cindy Wu probably contains these stats: three minutes, $1.2 million. The student-turned-innovator made people sit up and take lots of notice after her short pitch at Y Combinator's 2013 "Demo Day" brought in--yes--$1.2 million for her start-up. Experiment, a crowdfunding platform for research that was developed by Wu and her colleague Denny Luan, is one of those brilliant yet simple, leap-forward ideas for the future of science. So maybe it's not too surprising that the project has garnered so much interest. But we think Wu's short pitch had a wealth of ideas that can enrich all kinds of speakers as well.
Got three minutes to spare? Watch the video, and read more about what we thought made this speech a gold mine from the start.
Talking faster won't help your audience learn more. Ack! Three minutes! I need to speak faster so that I can cram it all in! Happily, that's not the path Wu chose. Her three minute pitch actually clocked in at two minutes and 53 seconds, and there's not a point in it where she sounds rushed or vague. She speaks slowly, she takes significant pauses, and she breathes. Applicants to Y Combinator go through an extensive boot camp that helps the start-ups refine their pitches, and that practice really shows here. Wu is able to speak slowly because she has whittled down her presentation to the specifics that an investor needs to know: this is what the project does, this is how it has succeeded to this point, and this is how you can help. No doubt Wu also practiced her measured delivery as well. Speaking too fast is a common speaker problem, especially among those who give TED-style talks and feel the pressure of strict time limits. Luckily, there are lots of ways to curb your speedy speaking.
Sometimes the best place to start a story is in the middle. I expected Wu's pitch to begin with how she and her partners came up with such a great idea in the first place (it is a cool story, after all). But the "origin story" is instead buried in the middle of the talk, and I think that was a smart decision. Her audience needed to know right away the value of what they might invest in, so she started with the what and how of the project. We're used to hearing stories in chronological order, but it's fine to mix that up if it seems like a different approach would better suit the occasion or the audience.
Big ideas don't need big words. With continued thanks to Eloquent Woman colleague and speaker coach Peter Botting, this speech is a perfect example of that wise phrase. Wu's a scientist, and her project funds some intensely complex research, but she keeps her descriptions short and her words simple. It also didn't hurt that the three types of research she chose to highlight--cancer, gun violence, and dinosaurs--are accessible topics with wide public interest. And then, there's this killer closing line: "What we've created turns everyone with a credit card into a modern-day patron of science."
You can watch the video of Wu's pitch below.
I've got two small-group workshops coming up on Creating a TED-quality talk in Washington, DC, in January. Choose the January 14 workshop or the January 28 workshop. All you need to do is bring your one big idea for a talk in the style of TED. You'll learn how to plan, write, time, practice, and deliver it in a group limited to 5 people per workshop. Join us!

He served as a talk show host with Woody Woodbury. Ridgely appeared in commercials, including a classic McDonald's commercial, staged as a Broadway production number, where he sings "there is nothin' so clean – as my burger machine". He guest starred on TV series such as Sea Hunt and the Warner Bros. Television series Maverick, Lawman, and Surfside 6.

Salon.com: Glenn Greenwald: The true definition of "Terrorist"
Salon 23 June 2011 Salon No Comment Email This Post
In late May, two Iraqi nationals, who were in the U.S. legally, were arrested in Kentucky and indicted on a variety of Terrorism crimes. In The Washington Post today, GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell — writing under the headline: "Guantanamo is the place to try terrorists" –castigates Attorney General Eric Holder for planning to try the two defendants in a civilian court on U.S. soil rather than shipping them to Guantanamo.
To make his case, the war-loving-but-never-fighting McConnell waves the flag of cowardly manufactured fear that is both his hallmark and the hallmark of uniquely American political rhetoric on Terrorism ("my constituents do not think that civilian judges and jurors in their community should be subjected to the risk of reprisal for participating in a terrorist trial"); relies on the ignoble example of Chuck Schumer and other New York Democrats who demanded that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed not be tried in Manhattan; and, as usual, issues vacant cries of war-uber-alles to justify abandonment of basic legal safeguards ("our top priority in battling terrorism should be to find, capture and detain or kill those who would do us harm"). Along the way, McConnell — as most right-wing politicians are now forced to do given the continuity with Bush 43 — praises Obama's overall national security approach:
The administration has shown admirable flexibility in making decisions concerning national security and has shown that it is willing, on occasion, to put safety over ideology. President Obama launched a counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan, ignored calls to hastily withdraw from Iraq and recently agreed to extend the Patriot Act without weakening its provisions or making them harder to use.
Indeed, the Kentucky Republican ends his Op-Ed with an appeal to Obama's "flexibility"; the President, he urges, should "let Holder know that our civilian courts are off-limits to foreign fighters captured in the war on terrorism."
McConnell's criticism of Holder is patently absurd; the very idea that we should start rounding up people who are legally on U.S. soil and shipping them to Guantanamo — rather than trying them in a real court — is menacing, and the fear he invokes (they'll kill us if we put them on trial) is as fictitious as it is cowardly. But far more interesting than McConnell's trite fear-mongering is the notion that these two individuals are "Terrorists." Just as McConnell's Op-Ed did, in all the reporting thus far on this case, the fact that their alleged acts constitutes Terrorism has been tacitly assumed (AP: "2 Iraqis charged in Ky. with terrorism plotting"; ABC News: "Kentucky Terror Case"; Politico: "McConnell: Get Terror Case out of Kentucky").
But look at what they're actually accused of doing. Those above-linked news reports as well as the unsealed indictment make clear that there are two separate categories of acts forming the basis for these allegations. The first is that one of the men, Waad Ramadan Alwan, admitted to working with the "Iraqi insurgency" to attack American troops during the first three years of the war. From the indictment:
It was that activity which the FBI trumpeted when announcing the indictments:
WASHINGTON—An Iraqi citizen who allegedly carried out numerous improvised explosive device (IED) attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq and another Iraqi national alleged to have participated in the insurgency in Iraq have been arrested and indicted on federal terrorism charges in the Western District of Kentucky. . . .
According to the charging documents, the FBI has been able to identify two latent fingerprints belonging to Alwan on acomponent of an unexploded IED that was recovered by U.S. forces near Bayji, Iraq. . . . Alwan had also allegedly told the CHS how he had used a particular brand of cordless telephone base station in IEDs. Alwan's fingerprints were allegedly found on this particular brand of cordless base station in the IED that was recovered in Iraq.
The second set of acts involves a plot apparently concocted by the FBI, and then presented to Alwan through the use of an informant, to ship weapons and money to "Al Qaeda in Iraq." I realize that the very mention of the phrase "Al Qaeda" is supposed to stop the brain of all Decent People, but as even AP acknowledges, that group is little more than an insurgency group specific to Iraq, devoted to attacking foreign troops in their country:
Neither is charged with plotting attacks within the United States . . . . Their arrests come after FBI Director Robert Mueller said in February that his agency was taking a fresh look at Iraqi nationals in the U.S. who had ties to al-Qaida's offshoot in Iraq. The group had not previously been considered a threat in the U.S.
Indeed, the FBI — in touting the plot they created and induced Alwan to become part of — acknowledged that the plot was devoted exclusively to attacking U.S. troops in Iraq, not civilians:
Over the course of roughly eight years, Waad Ramadan Alwan allegedly supported efforts to kill U.S. troops in Iraq, first by participating in the construction and placement of improvised explosive devices in Iraq and, more recently, by attempting to ship money and weapons from the United States to insurgents in Iraq. His co-defendant, Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, is accused of many of the same activities, said Todd Hinnen, Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security.
According to the charging documents, beginning in September 2010, Alwan expressed interest in helping the [confidential human source] CHS provide support to terrorists in Iraq. The CHS explained that he shipped money and weapons to the mujahidin in Iraq by secreting them in vehicles sent from the United States. Thereafter, Alwan allegedly participated in operations with the CHS to provide money, weapons — including machine guns, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, Stinger missiles, and C4 plastic explosives — as well as IED diagrams and advice on the construction of IEDs to what he believed were the mujahidin attacking U.S. troops in Iraq.
There is no suggestion in any of these reports or documents, not even a hint, that either of the accused ever tried to stage any attacks in the U.S. or target civilians either in the U.S. or Iraq. Leaving aside the fact that this seems to be yet another case where the FBI manufacturers its own plotswhich they entrap people into joining, and then praises itself for stopping them, the alleged crimes here are confined entirely to past attacks on U.S. invading forces in their country and current efforts to aid those waging such attacks now.
One can have a range of views about the morality and justifiability of Iraqi nationals attacking U.S. troops in their country. One could say that it is the right of Iraqis to attack a foreign army brutally invading and occupying their nation, just as Americans would presumably do against a foreign army invading their country (at least those who don't share Mitch McConnell's paralyzing fears and cowardice). Or one could say that it is inherently wrong and evil to attack U.S. troops no matter what they're doing or where they are in the world, even when waging war in a foreign country that is killing large numbers of innocent civilians. Or one could say that the American war in Iraq in particular was such a noble effort to spread Freedom and Democracy that only an evil person would fight against it. Or one could say that it's always wrong for a non-state actor to engage in violence (a very convenient standard for the U.S., given that very few nations around the world could resist U.S. force without reliance on such unconventional means). And one can recognize that most nations, not only the U.S., would apprehend those engaged in attacks against their troops.
But whatever one's views are on those moral questions, in what conceivable sense can it be called "Terrorism" for a citizen of a country to fight against foreign invading troops by attacking purely military targets? This is hardly the first case where we have condemned as Terrorists citizens of countries we invaded for fighting back against invading American troops. The U.S. shipped numerous people to Guantanamo, branded them Terrorists, and put them in cages for years without charges for doing exactly that (indeed, the Obama administration prosecuted at Guantanamo the first child soldier tried for war crimes, Omar Khadr, for throwing a grenade at U.S. troops in Afghanistan).
I've often written that Terrorism is the most meaningless, and thus most manipulated, term in American political discourse. But while it lacks any objective meaning, it does have a functional one. It means: anyone — especially of the Muslim religion and/or Arab nationality — who fights against the United States and its allies or tries to impede their will. That's what "Terrorism" is; that's all it means. And it's just extraordinary how we've created what we call "law" that is intended to do nothing other than justify all acts of American violence while delegitimizing, criminalizing, and converting into Terrorism any acts of resistance to that violence.
Just consider: in American political discourse, it's not remotely criminal that the U.S. attacked Iraq, spent 7 years destroying the country, and left at least 100,000 people dead. To even suggest that American officials responsible for that attack should be held criminally liable is to marginalize oneself as a fringe and unSerious radical. It's not an idea that's even heard, let alone accepted. After all, all Good Patriotic Americans were horrified that an Iraqi citizen would so much as throw a shoe at George Bush; what did he do to deserve such treatment? The U.S. is endowed with the inalienable right to commit violence against anyone it wants without any consequences of any kind.
By contrast, any Iraqi who fights back in any way against the U.S. invasion — even by fighting against exclusively military targets — is not only a criminal, but a Terrorist: one who should be shipped to Guantanamo. And this notion is so engrained that no media account discussing this case would dare question the application of the "Terrorism" label to what they've done, even though it applies in no conceivable way.
One sees the same manipulative dynamic at play in how the U.S. freely tries to kill foreign leaders of countries it attacks. The U.S. repeatedly tried to kill Saddam at the start of the Iraq War, and — contrary to Obama's early pledges — has done the same to Gadaffi in Libya. NATO has explicitly declared Gadaffi to be a "legitimate target." But just imagine if an Iraqi had come to the U.S. and attempted to bomb the White House or kill George Bush, or if a Libyan (or Afghan, Pakistani, or Yemeni) did the same to Obama. Would anyone in American political circles be allowed to suggest that this was a legitimate act of war? Of course not: screaming "Terrorism!" would be the only acceptable reaction.
It's hardly unusual that an empire declares that its violence and aggression are inherently legitimate, and that any resistance to it — or the very same acts aimed at it — are inherently illegitimate. That double-standard decree, more or less, is a defining feature of an empire. But the nationalistic conceit that all of that is justified by coherent, consistent principles of "law" — or can be resolved by meaningful application of terms such as "Terrorism" – is really too ludicrous to endure.
UPDATE: Bolstering the definition of Terrorism I provided above, Jonathan Schwarz several years ago documented how establishment political and media circles in the U.S. routinely referred to the 1983 bombing of a Marine barracks in Lebanon as "Terrorism." As Schwarz wrote:
Whatever else you might say about those bombings, they weren't terrorism, at least if words have any meaning. They were attacks on military targets.
But this goes really, really deep in U.S. political culture. The basic idea is: we are allowed to send our military anywhere on earth to do anything to anyone. And if someone tries to fight back—even by targeting our military when it's stationed in their country and killing them—that is fundamentally AGAINST THE RULES.
Propping up that warped mindset is the central purpose of the term Terrorism.

The changing face of the UK office
April 10th, 2013 Category: Office Cleaning
A new study has revealed the extent of which the UK office environment has changed over the past 60 years, with technology irreparably altering the way we do business.
Research produced by Warwick Business School to support the 'Remember How We Used To Work' online archive from npower has revealed that office gadgets are becoming a focal part of the office environment, and their use is likely to increase. From typewriters to telex, computers to smartphones, people have become extremely reliant on technology, and many can't imagine doing business without it.
One in five British office workers don't ever put pen to paper at work, and a quarter don't remember life without email. The research found that the average UK worker sends and receives 10,000 emails a year and one in ten spend the whole working day on a computer or mobile phone. What's more, 57 per cent of those questioned admit to logging into their inbox outside of work hours and 85 per cent of those who do think it makes them more productive.
What is particularly interesting is that the perception that the computer-powered electronic office has made us more productive might not be completely true. We may have advanced from the days when a calculator cost three weeks wages and photocopies were made by hand, but statistics from the ONS have shown that productivity has risen by just two per cent since 1973, suggesting that technology is not the cure to all ills.
Will Skillman from Warwick Business School, who produced the report for npower, explained: "Our study shows that British workers are now hugely reliant on electrical appliances throughout the working day and while on the move and feel this has improved their productivity.
"Yet what isn't clear is whether this technology-powered workplace is directly helping to improve how we work or if we are just replacing old technologies with new. Certainly the rise of the mobile office means that workers can stay plugged in on the move and for longer periods of time, but whether this has resulted in a more productive workforce remains to be seen."

Good pod life

Weak flavors
Weak draw & throat hit
2 of 11 didn't work out of the box
Not satisfying to vape on
Posh Plus disposables are a smaller and more compact version of the Posh Plus XL. Each Posh Plus is filled with 2ml of 6% (60mg) strength nicotine salt eliquid and houses a 450mAh battery. They come in 13 different flavors, most of which contain some level of menthol or cooling agent.
Like other disposables, these come ready to vape out of the box. Just remove the silicone caps and draw on one to vape. This simplicity and ease of use makes disposables an attractive option for new vapers and those looking to start vaping alike.
For this review I was sent 11 Posh Plus disposables to test out. I'll go over their general design, the flavors, and how they perform which should hopefully give you an idea of if they're worth the purchase.
Prefilled with 2ml of Ejuice
6% (50mg) Nicotine Salt Strength
LED Puff Indicator
Design & Build Quality
Each Posh Plus disposable is about the same size as other disposables at around 90mm in height. But instead of your standard flat rectangle body, these have a cylindrical aluminum body that is 14mm in diameter. This round shape means that they take up more room in a pocket or bag but they're still easily portable. I have had no trouble carrying a few of these in my pocket at the same time. I also found that the round shape is more comfortable to hold and the round mouthpiece is also more comfortable to vape on.
These don't weigh a lot and are in fact so light that they feel a little bit cheap to me. These are disposables though, not pod vapes meant to last more than a few hundred puffs. Still, other disposables that I've used feel more solid and balanced.
Despite their feel, they're actually quite well made. The aluminum shell has a nice finish and the color matches the flavor for easier identification. I still had a tough time telling which one I was picking up though because other than the color of the shell, there's no flavor indication. Some of the colors are also very similar to each other which makes it even more difficult. It would have been nice if there was some small text with the flavor on each one. If you have a lot of them it can turn into a guessing game.
Unlike the Posh Plus XL, these don't come with a cap for the drip tip. That's a shame because it worked great for stopping lint and dirt from getting into the mouthpiece. On the other end of the disposable, the bottom is designed to look like the end of a cigar. It also lights up red when you take a draw. If you're vaping these somewhere dark, other people might think that you're just having a cigar.
Posh Plus disposables come in 13 flavors which are available only in 6% (60mg) nicotine strength. The majority of these flavors have an 'ice' component to them so if you're not a fan of 'cooling' vapes, no need to read any further — these are likely not for you.
I was sent 11 flavors for this review. Unfortunately, 2 of these didn't work out of the box; Frosted Apple and Minty Lychee (the two that I was most looking forward to trying!). Two out of eleven is nearly 20%, or 1 in 5. That's way too high of a percentage for disposables to be DOA. In any case, I'll go over the remaining 9 flavors that worked.
I'm starting with my favorite first, Pina Colada. I was expecting this to be super sweet but it's not. It's more of a mellow vape that you can vape on all day, with enough sweetness to still taste good and be enjoyable. There's a touch of menthol but not a lot. Definitely tastes like a pina colada but again, it's not very strong.
Mixed Cocktail
This is another one that I really liked, but it's a bit weak. I can't put my finger on any one flavor but it's a tasty, fruity mix. I think I taste guava but other than that I'm not sure. It's a nice tropical fruit mix that tastes natural and not candied. This is one of the few flavors that has no menthol.
O.M.G Tropical
This Orange Mango Guava (O.M.G) and it tastes similar to the mixed cocktail but I can taste the individual fruits a bit better. The flavor isn't very strong though. Guava comes through on the inhale and orange and mango follow it on the exhale. No menthol in this flavor. Pretty good overall.
Minty Melon
Watermelon paired with menthol, a tried and true combo. It's a good combination of sweetness and mintiness with a slightly candied watermelon taste. This flavor is consistent from inhale to exhale with the watermelon and mint coming through equally for both.
Yes, you read that right. Not creme brulee, but cream brulee. Either way, I don't like it at all. I seem to be in the minority too, because the reviews seem to be overwhelmingly positive. I find it too rich and it makes me feel sick if I vape on it for more than a few pulls. Super creamy and buttery; too much for my taste.
Frozen Mango
Sweet mango mixed with a strong menthol. The mango isn't super strong, but it does have an authentic 'ripe' taste to it. It's sweet and tropical and the menthol pairs well with it. Overall it's an okay mango flavor.
This flavor has some of the strongest menthol of the bunch. It's really cold! The banana flavor is really weak though. I can still taste it, but it's not as upfront as I would expect it to be for a banana smoothie. If you want menthol with a hint of banana, this is the one!
Every disposable needs a strawberry and menthol flavor and for Posh, this is it. Like the other flavors, the flavor isn't very strong but it has a nice strawberry taste that is more natural than candied but there's a bit of candying here. The menthol is mild but noticeable. Not the best strawberry menthol flavor out there but it's decent.
Minty Berry is the strongest flavor of the lot. Blue raspberry and blueberries come through quite strongly with menthol in here as well. This is one of the better flavors as the taste isn't weak and you can actually taste the strong fruity notes. It's slightly candied and sweet, but it makes a good all day vape. Very good flavor.
How Do They Vape?
As I mentioned in the previous section, two of the eleven flavors that I received didn't work so that's a bummer. Not something I like to see and I'm sure that you wouldn't appreciate having 1 out of 5 of your disposables show up and not work. The Posh Plus is going to lose points here for that.
When they work, they're okay. The draw isn't very strong so I found myself having to take longer draws in order to get a good throat hit. If you puff on these like that too frequently they can't wick fast enough and you'll end up prematurely burning out the coil, resulting in a burnt taste. I ended up doing this to a few of these so I didn't even get to use them out. It's surprising that the draw is so weak, especially since these are 60mg (6%) strength.
The tightness of the draw is something that these have going for them. It's a tight mouth to lung that is actually right how I like it, but the weak draw makes it hard to enjoy vaping on these without a backup vape. The draw activation also works well and doesn't require pulling too hard to get it to activate.
With all of that being said, these perform much differently from the Posh Plus XL's. Those had a strong draw and a nice throat hit without having to pull too hard. It's crazy how different these two are, seeing as they are made by the same company.
Posh Plus disposables are small and portable but they miss the mark on a lot of other things that make a disposable great. The flavors are good, but most of them could be much stronger and more pronounced. The draw is also weak, and as a result the throat hit and satisfaction of using them takes a huge blow.
The only positive I can see here is if you find other disposables too strong, these could be perfect. But if you're looking for a new disposable with a strong throat hit and strong draw, pass on the Posh Plus.
I started vaping in 2013, determined to quit smoking because I knew it was a terrible habit. Many hard years later, I'm smoke-free and feeling better than ever! I love trying as many different tanks, mods, and ejuices as I can get my hands on, but I love sharing my experiences and honest opinions even more! When I'm not reviewing, researching, or writing, you can find me watching tennis, tinkering with coils, or playing with my two mischievous cats.

RYAN Storch says:
My gf usually gets almost 3 weeks per posh plus. Now 3 in a row that all were dead in under a week. We can no longer use this product as I've messaged them 3 times with no response. We're done with posh unless they remedy our loss we're so done with them.
I went from them lasting at least a week (heavy smoker) to lasting less than 24hrs. They have very clearly stopped trying to make a good product and just want to sell trash for cash. It's a real shame, and trying to contact the company is a joke. They clearly just want to squeeze out as much money as they can before they shut down. Anyone who reads this please find a better brand that won't steal your money.
Amanda Wade says:
I've had 4 or 5 of my poshs in the last 2 weeks not work at all or stopped working the day after they were purchased. In very upset and I've tried to email posh. I've not yet received a response. 100s of dollars down the drain!
Rochelle says:
I have three poshmarks rechargeables they start sizzling the liquid is leaking out and it start making popping noise. The other ones that is not chargeable stop working after one week for the 5200 puffs. I know they're not empty because I don't puff all day. But I can't seem to get replacements and there's no one to talk to about it besides this site
The posh Max 5200 is a joke not only do you not get 52 puffs on the ones that are not rechargeable. I brought the chargeable ones they leak after so long they start popping in a blue light will flicker. In the flavor nicotine mix leaks from the bottom

There have been studies conducted which shows that only 25% of bank loans or credit card options have been sanctioned to small business owners. Current liabilities of a company include its accounts payable, short-term loans, dividends payable, interest payable, income tax payable, accrued expenses, and a small part of the long-term liabilities as well.

8 Revelations From Walmart's Mexican Bribery Scandal
A massive New York Times investigation exposes how Walmart allegedly ignored evidence of bribery south of the border. Read 8 revelations from the report.
Matthew DeLuca
Updated Jul. 13, 2017 2:49PM ET / Published Apr. 22, 2012 11:15PM ET

1. A Former Walmart Exec Blows the Whistle via Email
According to The New York Times, in 2005, a former exec at Walmart de Mexico named Sergio Cicero Zapata alleged in an email to a senior Walmart lawyer that the retail giant's Mexican arm routinely greased the skids, dishing out generous payouts to aid its mammoth growth. (Currently, one in five Walmart stores is located in Mexico.) An investigator's dream, Cicero named names, as well as provided details on when the bribes were given and how much they totaled. Cicero had resigned from the company in 2004 because, he told the Times, he felt underappreciated after participating in years of corruption.
2. Walmart Launches an Investigation
With Cicero's email in hand, Walmart sprang into action—for a time. A set of company sleuths were sent south, traveling to Mexico City to see if there was truth to the bombshell revelations. According to the Times: there was. After unearthing evidence of bribes in excess of $24 million, the chief investigator, a former FBI special agent, sent an email to company headquarters saying, "There is reasonable suspicion to believe that Mexican and USA laws have been violated."
3. Walmart Shuts Down Investigation
After top Walmart execs were presented with evidence of misconduct, top management struggled for a while with how to respond, reports the Times. At stake was the company's much-touted support for high ethical standards, which in this case was at odds with its allegedly shady formula for market dominance. Facing a potential PR nightmare, execs appear to have been more concerned with spin than solutions. They never contacted legal authorities about the findings, and ultimately appointed the general counsel of Walmart de Mexico—who himself faced allegations of bribery—to handle the case. He exonerated his colleagues and shut down the investigation, according to the Times.
4. Bribes Led to Building Permits
In their investigation, reporters from the Times, who scoured thousands of government documents relating to building permit requests in Mexico, found that the alleged bribes were incredibly effective, making permit obstacles vanish in days or weeks. All layers of bureaucratic and political life were allegedly receptive to this liberal outlay of cash, as zoning concerns and environmental fines disappeared and Walmart expanded across the country.
5. Eduardo Castro-Wright's Dubious Rise
Eduardo Castro-Wright was chief operating officer of Walmart de Mexico until 2005, and was promoted to Walmart's vice chairman in 2008. Although the Times reports that there had been a few bribes before Castro-Wright's arrival in 2002, the frequency of bribes increased dramatically while he was in charge, and Cicero identified him as the force behind much of the corruption. His goal was to rapidly obtain building permits, so Walmart could build stores faster and remain ahead of the competition. When he was promoted to his post in the U.S. (three years after the bribery investigation began), the company cited his "outstanding results" in Mexico. He is scheduled to retire in July.
6. How the Alleged Bribes Were Delivered
The alleged bribes were paid through "gestores," professional fixers that many companies (and individuals) in Mexico hire to ensure that things get done quickly and effortlessly—sometimes legally, sometimes not. They are often involved in Mexico's corruption scandals. The gestores, who charge a fee of 6 percent of the bribe, worked closely with company officials to determine whom to pay off, the Times reports. They provided the company with coded invoices that described the "irregular act" they had carried out. In accounting records, the bribes were allegedly disguised as legal fees.
7. Former FBI Special Agent Led Internal Investigation
Ronald Halter, who spent more than two decades with FBI, was one of Walmart's special investigators who led the preliminary probe into the bribery allegations in 2005. The investigation confirmed many of Cicero's allegations, according to the Times; in one day, Halter's team had uncovered more than 441 instances of potentially illegal payments to gestores. They also discovered that two gestores alone had received $8.5 million in payments. Perhaps most significantly, he found that massive payments ceased in 2005, the same year that Castro-Wright moved to the U.S. Although Walmart had initially planned to launch a full investigation if the probe found any evidence supporting Cicero's allegations, Halter's report and the rest of the case was turned over to Walmart de Mexico's general counsel, who closed the investigation.
8. Walmart Admits to Bribery Probe
Shortly after the Times published its investigation on April 21, 2012, Walmart confirmed that it had launched an investigation into the allegations of bribery at Walmart de Mexico. A spokesman for the company said, "This work is ongoing and continues today," adding that the company does not "have a full explanation of what happened."
