The Paco de Lucia Project, Reigniting the Master's Legacy
Back to Press Room
Flamenco Legends by Javier Limón brings together de Lucia's second — and arguably best — ensemble
Folsom, CA — Created by 10-time Latin Grammy ® winner Javier Limón, The Paco de Lucía Project reassembles the band that toured with the legendary guitarist for the last 10 years of his career, together with the sensational flamenco dancer Farruco, grandson of El Farruco. A longtime collaborator of de Lucía, Javier Limón honors de Lucía's legacy while paving a new path into flamenco's future. Paco was widely considered the world's premier flamenco guitarist, and The Project is a unique homage to him. "It seemed then that Paco de Lucía was reborn in our midst; that the second of his two lives had come to pass" ( Latin Jazz Network).
The Paco de Lucia Project takes to the stage on Tuesday, October 22 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $22-$48; Premium $52; Students with ID $11-$21. Tickets are available online at www.harriscenter.net or from the Harris Center Ticket Office at 916-608-6888 from 12 noon to 6 pm, Monday through Saturday, and two hours before show time. Parking is included in the price of the ticket. The Harris Center is located on the west side of Folsom Lake College campus in Folsom, CA, facing East Bidwell Street.
The legacies of great artists go well beyond particular masterpieces. In the case of guitarist and composer Paco de Lucía, his playing, his composing, the sound of his ensembles, his entire approach, marked a "before" and "after" in flamenco.
No group has taken up the challenges of that legacy with greater authority than The Paco de Lucía Project. In the 1980s, the guitarist, who had long-established his place in flamenco history, put together a sextet that incorporated jazz and global music elements and exploded flamenco conventions. About 20 years later, he assembled a second, younger group. Brimming with energy and technical brilliance, this second sextet both pushed and freed the master, suggesting tantalizing possibilities for the future. But Paco de Lucía died unexpectedly of a heart attack while on holiday in February 2014. He was 66.
That last ensemble, reconvened as The Paco de Lucía Project, is now on its second tour of North America, celebrating the release of The Paco de Lucía Project (Casalimón Records), a live CD documenting the sound of their inaugural tour. As good as that snapshot is, the sextet has continued to evolve while taking on the challenges of de Lucia´s legacy.
"That first experience of touring America, taking this music and Paco's name everywhere, thinking of him every day — it was magnificent," says guitarist Antonio Sánchez, the son of Paco's late older brother. "As we toured with this group, each concert was better than the one before. Luckily, we recorded the one in Miami and it's now a tribute to Paco."
The sextet features Sánchez on guitar; Alain Pérez on bass; Israel Suárez "Piraña," percussion; Antonio Serrano, harmonica; David de Jacoba, vocals, and flamenco dancer Antonio Fernández "Farruco" (a/k/a Farru). Except for de Jacoba, who joined later, this is the band captured on de Lucía's historic double CD Live in Spain 2010.
Grammy-winning producer and composer Javier Limón, a collaborator and personal friend of de Lucía, masterminded the reunion of the group and produced the CD as a celebration of the legendary guitarist.
"Paco created a new sound with his first group. But then, with this band, he arrived at a different sonority," says Limón. "And I kept thinking: why are we throwing away a sound that took so many years and so much work to create?"
"By the time he assembled the second sextet, Paco was at his peak. He was the wise old man, the master, and the players were all so young. It was a different dynamic," reflects Limón. "Alain Pérez is arguably the best Latin bass player of his generation. Antonio Serrano is the best jazz musician in Spain; and you have Piraña, whom Paco loved, the best percussionist in flamenco's history. And then you have Antonio, and David, and Farruco … Each one of them is a soloist, a leader. This band is the best flamenco group in the world."
"I take carrying on Paco's music with great humility. It's a real challenge," said guitarist Sánchez, who joined his uncle's group as a second guitar in 2010. "The name is a burden only if you don´t study, if you don´t apply yourself and work. Working with this group is a huge responsibility, very demanding, but it also brings out a lot of love on my part — and no fear. On the contrary, I was eager to do this. It has been great to remember him every day in his music, but also it has been great to see how this group has evolved, matured."
"Every day we seem to be doing something different, and it's great fun, very enjoyable, and it brings us together," said Sánchez. "And we also started to realize that we can pay tribute to Paco with our own music. There will always be classics by Paco in the program, songs like "Zyryab" or a rumba like "El Cafetal," but now also some of our compositions, things we used to do with him in rehearsals but were never recorded. It's a chance to capture and bring back some of those little things we had with Paco, and it's beautiful."

It's called "The Leadership Principal" The will of the Fuehrer/Leader is above all law.
Contradictions within the same sentence is a Trump specialty.
Hey. Don't leave out Arizona! They were in our backyard this week, armed with lawn mowers and pruning shears.
This is mid-evening last night - no troops, no border guards, and no "invading masses of armed, uneducated brown people bent on murdering US citizens"
Well, where are they all? The only people there are a reporter and his camera crew, and they ain't gonna stop anything; not because they're the only ones there, but because there is no-one to stop; NO invaders, NO illegal migrant emergency at the US/Mexico border. Border crossings are at their lowest levels since the 1950s! This emergency is a fiction, created by Der Trumpenführer, supported by Faux News.
There is a real emergency at the border though; a humanitarian crisis created by Trump himself - the separation of families and the appalling conditions under which people are being imprisoned that have lead directly to the deaths of children. No wall is ever going to fix this.

This is increasingly looking like becoming the most viable solution.
Well, where are they all?
This was staged by the Liberal Media!!! They cleared the crowd out of that 200 foot area just to show a seemingly empty field just to fool the public into thinking that there are not millions of brown people coming into the USA every day.
This is what an un-staged image of the border looks like at one of the few walled areas.
I don't think it's viable at all, considering it would require his cabinet members to turn on him en mass. He's hired spineless idiots for a reason.
2nd amendment being discussed, not 25th.
ETA: Which I disagree with BTW. I don't think it's ever appropriate to call for assassinations. I was a little kid in the 60s and thought it was just routine for public figures to be blown away.

Well given Trump's propensity for believing that what he see in movies is actually happening in reality, it would not surprise me in the least if that screenshot (from "World War Z" ?) is what he really thinks is happening at the US Mexico border.
You're thinking of the 25th amendment, not the second amendment.
"2A solution" is a euphemism for assassination.
Last edited by smartcooky; 15th February 2019 at 12:07 PM.
He said 2nd amendment, not 25th.
Second amendment requires only one guy. Doesn't even have to be part of the cabinet.
Wonder if we could convince John Hinckley that Trump had an affair with Jodie Foster?
Sorry, I am with Trump on this one. There is a humanitarian crisis on the southern border. If that is not a national emergency I don't know what is. It is only right that the President diverts otherwise allocated funds to send food, aid, shelter, clothing etc to these poor desperate people.
I don't know why I saw 25th, where it says 2nd amendment, but I agree with others that an assassination would be a disaster. Trumpanzees would immediately have a violent revolt, I'm sure. Heck, if Trump died of natural causes, such as a mac-heart attack, they would probably have a violent revolt.
If only that was what he did. It is sad that he's simply going to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis on the border that he created.
I'm glad someone else noticed that.
Again, his advisors should have just had him tell the cultists at hit hate-athons that the wall was being built. they'd trust him. But, since Dolt 45 is obviously stupid, he just goes and snitches on himself yet again.
Boy .are you ignorant if that is what you think Trump want to do with the money he wants.
And you are totally ignorant of why the National Emergency declaration is so damn dangerous to Democracy.
Unless you are being sarcastic, in which case I apologizes.
I don't know why I saw 25th, where it says 2nd amendment, but I agree with others that an assassination would be a disaster. Trumpanzees would immediately have a violent revolt, I'm sure.
The only reason I didn't mention Arizona is my tentative grasp on US geography.
The French are going to send a bucktoad of gunpowder?
Trump is far, far worse than Pence, and impeaching him is a necessary exorcism if we want to prevent similar demagogues in the future.
Well, if you want gun control, that would probably be the fastest way to get it implemented.
When the democrats want gun control, right wingers often jump up and down and say "we need it to prevent tyranny". If the left-wing starts saying "great, lets use it to stop tyranny from the republicans", you will probably see gun control rushed through the senate faster than Trump can eat a cheeseburger.
Much like the way the NRA and the republicans were all for more people having guns, until the Black Panthers started to actually make use of the laws to protect themselves, after which Republicans in califorinia started to enact gun control.
Or a "whiff of grapeshot?"
As anyone who is at all familiar with the "dark" operations of the CIA in years past will tell you... "this can be arranged"
they would probably have a violent revolt.
Hmm. The majority of his base are just barking dogs, they are all talk but would run a mile if they were faced with real, personal confrontation. If the small number remaining, they would be smacked down very quickly if things looked like getting out of hand.
No self-respecting assassin will want to have Trump on his CV.
I now know which local news to track the advance of the Mexicans.
Wait a sec. Has he actually signed the spending bill? The one that has been agonised over the last few weeks?
Because if one of his "reasons" for declaring a national emergency is that there was "no wall money" in the bucket, then technically he has just shot that "reason" out of the water. There would be over a billion dollars if he simply signs that bill. Enough for 50-odd miles of his wall, which would probably take a number of years to build anyway.
Complaining that he has no cheeseberders when there is a couple dozen of them in a box right in front of him he refuses to open is what most parents would call being a truculent brat. In the old days like when McConnell was growing up, they would get a clip under the ear and be told in no uncertain terms to smarten themselves up.
The surest sign that there is not a crisis at the border is the fact that Trump visited the border.
Trump is such a coward that he will not do anything if he expects even the slightest danger that he could be personally hurt, therefore it is quite obvious that there is not a crisis at the border.
The GOvernor of California made it short and sweet this moringing in Sacramento; he told Trump "See You In Court"...in those exact words.
It's called the Trump Presidency.
Not a euphemism, a joke, like when Trump brought it up regarding Clinton, remember? The 2nd Amendment is a joke amendment, everybody knows that. "Here comes Biggus Dickus with his 2nd Amendment", like that. Sheesh, lighten up, people.


It was announced yesterday that we have won the 5 Star Tradestand Award at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for the fourth year in a row!
With a week and three days to go before this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show begins, our fitting team has departed this afternoon to go to Chelsea with our display building in tow.
We like keeping our visitors up to date on the goings on at our National Show Centres, and this week we thought we'd share a couple of interesting events at our Sunningdale Show Centre in Surrey.
Easter Weekend 2017 is almost upon us, so we thought we'd let you know our show centre openings times, if you're thinking about coming to visit us over the course of the four days.
This is a busy time of year for our Show Centres and the buildings we display there, with ex display buildings going to their new homes, and shiny new buildings being put up in their place, and Burford is no exception.

| YCC places finishing touches on Spring Fling
Louise Story
YCC places finishing touches on Spring Fling
Louise Story 12:00 am, Apr 16, 2001
After months of preparation, Spring Fling is now only days away.
The event, organized by the Yale College Council, will be held this Sunday at the conclusion of the University's second tercentennial weekend. Students, alumni and New Haveners will be allowed on Old Campus to enjoy student bands, inflatable rides and the day's main act, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals. Even though YCC and University administrators have touted this year's Spring Fling as exceptional because of an unusually large budget and the novelty of the tercentennial weekend, several YCC presidential candidates are already calling for improvements for next year's event.
Yale's tercentennial committee will be providing 2,000 T-shirts free of charge in celebration of the event, YCC Treasurer Vidhya Prabhakaran '03 said. The shirts, which the committee agreed to supply only recently, depict students dancing around Harkness Tower.
Spring Fling Chair Joey Lee '03 said the YCC will pass some shirts out around 11:30 a.m., when the inflatable rides are set up, and around 4 p.m., when students will likely begin pouring in for Harper's 5 p.m. concert.
Harper's band will play an hour-and-a-half set, longer than past Spring Fling performers have played, because an opening band is not accompanying the group. The band will likely play a number of songs from its latest CD, "Live from Mars," which was released March 27.
The YCC devoted the bulk of its just over $90,000 in Spring Fling funds to Harper's band and to renting a covered stage, in case there is rain. Because it rained at last year's Spring Fling, marquee act Wyclef Jean played earlier than was expected.
Four student bands will play in the afternoon on a separate stage, which will not be covered, and rides and Yale Dining Services food will be available early in the day.
Attendees will be checked for alcohol at Old Campus gates but will not have to show Yale IDs so that alumni visiting for the Tercentennial can stay on for the concert. New Haven residents are also welcome to attend, though the YCC is not advertising the concert to the community, Prabhakaran said.
This year's event is being funded by the YCC, Yale President Richard Levin's office, local merchants and student groups. The total — just over $90,000 — is more than the YCC usually spends on the event because the President's office gave more money than usual in celebration of the tercentennial. Next year, the Spring Fling budget will likely be less, Prabhakaran said. In past years the event has cost about $45,000.
One of the major costs is the covered stage, for which Prabhakaran said he hopes the administration will continue to pay in future years.
With YCC officer elections underway Monday, nearly every candidate for YCC president is listing an improved Spring Fling as a main priority.
Prabhakaran said he wants to pursue full-scale corporate sponsorship, while Robbie Wilkins '03 said he wants to enlarge the event to span an entire weekend. Andrew Allison '04 said the event should be planned earlier, and Jack Snyder '03 said the event should be planned by a section of the YCC devoted specifically to planning social events.
But for now, Lee said the focus is on Sunday's event.
"I'm just praying for good weather," she said.

Don't tell Luigi, but Nintendo video game hero Mario may have joined Bowser on the dark side.
Don't tell Luigi, but Nintendo video game hero Mario may have joined Bowser on the dark side.
A malspam sample targeting Italy was recently observed using a steganographic image of Mario (of Super Mario fame) to hide malicious code designed to infect victims with the Ursnif banking trojan.
In an 8 February company blog post, Bromium researcher Matthew Rowen reports that the campaign involved spam emails containing Excel spreadsheet documents with embedded macros.
Upon execution, these macros download malicious code, but only after confirming that the victim is located in Italy. In such cases, the document delivers an obfuscated PowerShell script and downloads an image of Mario whose pixels contain additional script that ultimately enable the downloading of the final payload.
The Italy-based cyber-firm Yoroi identified this payload as Ursnif, aka Gozi.
Steganography is a technique used by malware developers to conceal malicious code inside images in order for it to go undetected. "Steganographic techniques such as using the low-bits from pixel values are clearly not new, but it's rare that we see this kind of thing in malspam," says Rowen in his blog post. "It's also pretty hard to defend against this kind of traffic at the firewall."


John Edward Keiser, resident of Oxford, OH, passed away on Saturday, February 3, 2018. He was foremost known as a devoted husband, married for 62 years to Elizabeth (Mercer) Keiser, a loving father to his four daughters and son-in-laws, and a proud grandfather to nine grandchildren. He was also known for his kindness, intelligence, humor, and big-hearted laugh. He was born on September 17, 1918 in Youngstown, OH to John Henry and Minnie Autie (Schraum) Keiser. He received a B.S. in Chemistry from Youngstown State University, and started work at Youngstown Sheet and Tube. He served in the United States Army before and during World War II with the 65th Medical Regiment and as a chemical munitions officer. After the war, he used his chemistry knowledge in the appliance industry, developing patented technology in the field of porcelain engineering. He worked for Seeger Refrigerator in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, which later became the Whirlpool Corporation. While in Minnesota, he met his wife, Elizabeth Mercer, and was married on September 17, 1955 in Youngstown, OH. They had four daughters in Minnesota before moving to Findlay, OH with the Whirlpool Corporation. He continued working with Whirlpool as a porcelain engineer in Findlay, OH until his retirement in 1983. John was a devoted Lutheran. He was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Findlay, where he spent 40 years teaching adult Sunday school, serving on church council, and leading adult small groups. Most recently, he was a faithful member of Faith Lutheran of Oxford, OH.
He believed strongly in serving one's community and over the years volunteered for many organizations including Salvation Army, Exchange Club, and the American Red Cross. When he moved to Oxford, OH at age 88, he helped to deliver Meals on Wheels. A lifelong learner, he and his wife traveled the world during his retirement and held special memories of being in China, Germany, and the United Kingdom. He particularly enjoyed educational tours that combined courses of history and natural sciences with his travels. John was an avid outdoorsman and spent many family vacations camping, hiking, canoeing, and fishing the state and national parks of the United States. He especially loved seeing the northern lights and hearing the call of the loon in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area of Minnesota and Canada.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Minnie Keiser, and his brother, Robert Keiser. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Elizabeth Keiser, his four daughters and sons-in-law, Carol (Bryan) Bishop, Linda (Todd) Shipman, Jane (Norm) Krumpe, and Suzanne (Taylor) Surface, and grandchildren David and Kristen Bishop, Caleb and Katherine Shipman, Sarah (Shipman) Kwidzinsky, John Krumpe, and Spencer, Evan, and Andrew Surface. A visitation will be held at the Ogle & Paul R. Young Funeral Home, 5086 College Corner Pike, Oxford, OH on Wednesday, February 7, 2018 from 6-8 PM. A visitation at 10 AM, followed by a Celebration of Life service at 11 AM will be held at the Faith Lutheran Church, 420 S. Campus Ave, Oxford, OH 45056 on Thursday, February 8, 2018. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Faith Lutheran Church Youth Program, 420 S. Campus Ave, Oxford, OH 45056.

+July 31st 2011 we headed back to Eastern OR to launch our rocket again with the same roll control as the previous launch, but this time with much of the full flight computer we have been planning for years in in place and running.
+Unfortunately the rocket motor failed on ignition ejecting the fuel (unburnt) from the rear of the rocket. The force of the depressurization lifted the rocket several feet into the air and it came down again fairly hard. There was minor damage to the rocket.

There wont be any cool training montage for me. No cheesy 80's music with slow pans over me panting on the side of the mat between rounds, or close ups of the sweat on my brow and concentration on my face with a bar across my back.
The montage for me, for most of us, for the non-professional athlete living in the real world of course would look much different anyways. It would have to include some dramatic shots of being stuck in traffic trying to get to class after a 10 plus hour workday, waking up 2 hours early to lift sluggish and standing like a zombie next to the coffee pot, there would have to be all kinds of panoramic views of the range while I plod away trying to fit 50 rounds of bulls eye shooting into the only hour I have free that week and my phone going off behind me. Reality isn't so glamorous.
And there we are at competition day. I've managed to get the day off. We have freeze frames of getting choked out, of running right past a target I forgot on my walk through, of checking for my name on the bracket, the score sheet, of going home and auditing the experience and setting goals over and over.
This isn't easy. Living a real life and attacking with every ounce we have a multi-disciplinary approach to interpersonal violence. Grappling, striking, strength, conditioning, pistol, rifle, shotgun, and don't forget the knives and emergency medical training! The reading list alone would kill most people!
Whats the driver? Why do we do it? Why do we love it?
I can tell you for me. It makes me a better person. I'm more capable every day, more secure, stronger, healthier, smarter, faster, more aggressive and more peaceful. Its problem solving on another level, and outside the experience of most people. And it's the people. There are few closer friends than my training partners. There are guys who's names I cannot recall but who I respect for their demanding top game or whom I only ever see by name at the top of the score sheet after a match. The people who do this kind of work are some of the best people in the world. Its better living through violence. Its experiencing intimacy and empathy and doing the hard long work and improving while getting to be a part of that process in another's life.
Who are my heroes? My inspiration? Its the guy who brings his newborn to the gym so he can get some rounds in. The single mother sneaking away to swing a kettlebell in the living room. Are you working and going to school and finding the time to do what drives you? The 40 year old dude who never played a sport in his life showing up for his first class? That dude has my respect!

From rock bands at the Piece Hall to a world renowned star headlining the Brighouse Arts Festival, there's something for everyone across the borough this year. From singers to actors and chefs to ski jumpers, here are eleven famous faces who will be coming to Calderdale in 2019.
1. Elbow
Mercury Prize Winning rock band Elbow will be performing at the Piece Hall, Halifax on June 30. With hits including One Day Like This and Scattered Black And Whites, this is a show not to be missed.
Embrace are a well known indie-rock band formed Bailiff Bridge so it seems fitting that they will be performing a highly anticipated show in Calderdale at the Piece Hall, Halifax on June 28.
3. Kiki Dee and Carmelo Luggeri
World renowned star Kiki Dee is to headline Brighouse Arts Festival later this year. She will be joined by Carmelo Luggeri at the show on October 10 at St Martins Church, Brighouse.
4. The Script
The Victoria Theatre, Halifax will welcome Irish trio The Script on March 25. The band boast four number 1 albums in the UK and four platinum selling singles in the US and it promises to be a great show.


Top chef Joe Macbeth has worked hard to make Duncan Docherty's restaurant a success. So, when he's told it'll all be his one day, what's to stop him taking it now?
James McAvoy, Keeley Hawes, Joseph Millson and Toby Kebbell star in Peter Moffat's updating of Shakespeare's darkest tragedy - Macbeth.
Keeley Hawes : She filmed Macbeth in the kitchen of a celebrity chef, with an all-male cast. "They're such boys," she says indulgently. "At one point, I'd been a bit naughty, having a giggle at James McAvoy, who played my husband, and Joseph Millson. Then it was my turn to do Lady Macbeth's slipping into madness speech. So they got me back by standing up behind the camera and mooning and bending over. I love having a laugh like that."

Now Reading: A Different Kind of War
A Different Kind of War
How do journalists convey just how seriously upside down things have become?

Lately, I've been attending a lot of journalism conferences on the "drug war" in Mexico. Border reporting is becoming war reporting (at least on the Mexican side of the border), which requires a whole other set of reporting skills, nerve synapses and courage that I scarcely possess.
How do journalists convey the deep irreparable damage this violence and corruption is creating not only in Mexico, but also here and in many other parts of Latin America? First, we should retire the term "spillover violence" when it comes to characterizing Mexico's drug war violence lapping over onto our supposedly virgin U.S. soil. The grenade assaults and narcofosas are in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and other countries further south, but the multi-billion dollar market for drugs is in the United States. And much of the weaponry comes from here. The violence is here too, albeit largely tucked away in the barrios and ghettos of America. We've got drive-bys, gang assaults and kids dying in the streets just like in the streets of Mexico. And we've got hundreds of thousands of our citizens warehoused in the world's largest prison system.
We should jettison the term "drug war," although admittedly, I haven't come up with a better shorthand way of describing this catastrophic wave of violence. We're talking about global markets for drugs, and greed with no political objective other than to "get rich or die trying" (yes, I just ripped off the rapper 50 Cent). It's not a war. It's a cancer that destroys countries, like Mexico, with weak political institutions, rampant poverty and a high level of impunity. The U.S.' gluttony for drugs is metastasizing all over Latin America. Sure, drug smuggling has been going on for decades. But the levels of violence and barbarity – the killing for the sake of killing — are altogether something unprecedented and deeply disturbing.
When I attend these journalism conferences on the "drug war" (I know I used it again), I am always awed by the bravery of journalists working in the trenches in Juarez, Nuevo Laredo and other regions in Mexico. At these conferences, there is talk of the body counts, the latest gruesome narco findings and how simply to stay alive while reporting on this disaster. But I still feel something is missing. Something larger is at work, especially in Mexico: a massive social upheaval. As my friend the anthropologist and writer Cecilia Balli said during one of these recent drug war panels "This is a historical moment that is transforming Mexico permanently." Who would have ever thought that Mexico City would be considered the safest place to live in Mexico? How can El Paso – the safest city in the United States — be right next door to Juarez, known as one of the most dangerous cities in the world? What strange new world are we living in?
So back to my original question, how do journalists convey just how seriously upside down things have become? Some of the answers might be in El Salvador. Recently, I had the fortune to hear Carlos Dada, the editor of El Faro, an online news organization based in San Salvador, speak about the impact this violence is having on his own country. Dada spoke at UT Austin as part of the "Central America: Broken Democracies?" speakers series sponsored by UT's Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies. He and his fellow journalists at El Faro have done a lot of thinking about how to convey the gravity of this wave of violence coming their way. Dada likens it to "la casa fumigada" the fumigated house. As the Mexican and U.S. governments battle the drug cartels, the cartels move south, corrupting and killing as they go. "Guatemala is already gone," says Dada. "If you want to report on how organized crime is swallowing a country in real time come to El Salvador." In his country, the economy is in U.S. dollars – a haven for drug lords looking for a place to launder their billions. The drugs, guns and violence move in and the people pour out of El Salvador looking for safety somewhere else, often in the United States. "In El Salvador when a child turns 15 there are three choices: become a victim, become a victimizer or go to the United States."
El Salvador is well acquainted with violence, especially during the brutal civil war in the 80s. But this violence is different, he said. "The death squads (of the 80s) pale in comparison to the level of cruelty we see now," he said. "It's violence for the sake of violence.
In my country the criminals don't need to hide, the victims do. We are living in a world that is upside down," he said.
For the United States not to include Central America as part of Plan Merida was a huge mistake, Dada said. Plan Merida is the $1.3 billion in aid the United States pledged to Mexico to help fight drug trafficking organizations.
"Central America can't stop what's coming. Look what's happening to Mexico? We don't have the money, the political institutions or the experience to fight these criminal organizations," Dada said. "The government's not ready, and the journalists aren't ready. And it's going to get really ugly."
Dada drew a pretty terrifying and pessimistic picture of El Salvador's future. But he also spoke about the valiant effort that El Faro is making to provide their readers context and a more in depth understanding of this new brutal enemy: organized crime. He had some hard and fast rules for reporters. "We don't do body count stories. He also emphasized that long form journalism and narrative chronicles were the best way to put a human face on the tragedy. In their year-long series "En El Camino" El Faro did a masterful job of chronicling the nightmare that Central Americans experience migrating through Mexico into the United States. I think they've come closest to conveying what it's like for millions of people living daily with impunity and fear as organized crime takes over their lives. El Faro, which is only online, also collaborated on a virtual memorial created by Mexican author Alma Guillermoprieto for the 72 migrants who were murdered by the Zetas last August in the state of Tamaulipas in Mexico. This is another way of remembering and humanizing a tragedy.
Some news organizations are thinking about this seriously in Mexico too. Marcela Turati, a writer for Proceso magazine in Mexico City, has done some very brave work. She's written about children orphaned by the drug cartel violence in Juarez and she's visited the ghost towns in Chihuahua and Tamaulipas to describe how entire cities could be ravaged and lost to drug gangs. She is just one example. The staff of El Diario de Juarez are also working hard to explain what's happening to their city. In the United States, the media hasn't done enough to put all the pieces together (I include myself in this J'Accuse). As Carlos Dada said during his talk "the drugs don't just arrive at the U.S. border and then magically disappear like a David Copperfield trick."
We have more in common with Mexico and Central America than we might think. Now if we could only just put those pieces together.

OSHKOSH - After weeks of work, a group petitioning to reduce cannabis fines in Oshkosh delivered enough signatures on Friday to force city officials to weigh the issue.
Organizers of the effort say more than 4,500 signed a petition to reduce the City of Oshkosh's fine for marijuana possession from $500 to $25 for up to 25 grams of pot. Now, the Oshkosh City Clerk's Office must inspect the petition, to confirm that the group has collected the 3,600 signatures needed to bring the issue to a vote.
"We're very happy with (the signatures)," said Mark Kelderman, an organizer of the effort. "We have no advertising budget, but we built a network of volunteers who helped us get here. We feel that we have received a great response."
State law considers marijuana possession a misdemeanor offense that carries jail time and a permanent criminal record. But Wisconsin cities vary greatly in how they enforce the drug, and some, such as Stevens Point, have cut fines for simple possession, as polls show more Wisconsinites favor relaxed marijuana laws.
The group's petition could lower fines for cannabis possession in Oshkosh to among the lowest in the state. If the city clerk certifies that the group has collected enough valid signatures, the Oshkosh Common Council must approve the measure as an ordinance, or send it for an up-or-down referendum on an election ballot.
The Oshkosh City Clerk's Office now has 15 days to confirm that the group has collected enough proper signatures. Supporters of the measure must live in Oshkosh, and can only sign once.
If enough signatures are valid, the Oshkosh City Attorney's Office will determine if the petition conflicts with state or federal law. After that, the Oshkosh Common Council will have a chance to approve the petition as a new ordinance, or send it to a voter referendum. If that passes, the ordinance will stay in effect for two years before it can be amended or repealed.

Q: "Existing subscription to channel" while only subscribing once I have a small snippet that throws an "Existing subscription to channel" exception even though I only call the subscribe method once.
This can be avoided by moving the subscribe request outside of the "state_change" handler, but I'm wondering what might cause this? Maybe a bug in the Pusher library?
<!doctype html>

Pusher subscribe testcase

Tip: check your console

This results in:
connected
subscribed
Pusher : Error : {"type":"WebSocketError","error":{"type":"PusherError","data":{"code":null,"message":"Existing subscription to channel test-channel"}}}

A: While it does look like a bug in the library (do report it!), you don't need to bind to the state_change event in order to subscribe to channels.
If you look at the code for the subscribe event in pusher.js:
prototype.subscribe = function(channel_name) {
  var self = this;
  var channel = this.channels.add(channel_name, this);

  if (this.connection.state === 'connected') {
    channel.authorize(this.connection.socket_id, function(err, data) {
      if (err) {
        channel.handleEvent('pusher:subscription_error', data);
      } else {
        self.send_event('pusher:subscribe', {
          channel: channel_name,
          auth: data.auth,
          channel_data: data.channel_data
        });
      }
    });
  }
  return channel;
};

you'll see that it will first add your channel to an internal list of channels via the channels.add method, which looks like this:
prototype.add = function(name, pusher) {
  if (!this.channels[name]) {
    this.channels[name] = createChannel(name, pusher);
  }
  return this.channels[name];
};

It will only add the channel in case you haven't previously subscribed.
So, if you were to subscribe to a channel before the connection is established, the Pusher client will only add the channel to the list. Once the client has established a connection, it will call the subscribe method again for every channel in its list via the subscribeAll method:
this.connection.bind('connected', function() {
  self.subscribeAll();
});

And seeing that at this point this.connection.state is connected, it will connect.
So, recapping, don't bother binding to the state_change event to subscribe, just subscribe, like so:
<!doctype html>

Pusher subscribe testcase

Tip: check your console

A: It looks like a bug. If you open up the Network tab in dev tools and look at the WebSocket connection "Frames" information you can see the pusher:subscribe protocol event being sent twice. However, the code is definitely only calling pusher.subscribe once.
You should raise this bug with Pusher support or by submitting an issue to the github repo.

After news broke earlier this week that Philip Anschutz, CEO of Anschutz Entertainment Group (the company that owns Coachella), has a history of donating to anti-LGBTQ groups, Anschutz released a statement to Rolling Stone, where he spoke out against the allegations, referring to them as "fake news."
"Recent claims published in the media that I am anti-LGBTQ are nothing more than fake news — it is all garbage," Anschutz said.
On Jan. 4, Afropunk reported that between the years of 2010-2013, the Anschutz Foundation donated $110,000 to the Alliance Defending Freedom, $50,000 to the National Christian Foundation, and $30,000 to the Family Research Council. In 2016, the LGBTQ advocacy group Freedom for All Americans created a list of organizations that were notorious for supporting anti-LGBTQ causes and each of these groups made the list.
Despite this questionable history, Anschutz made clear that AEG — and by extension Coachella — are not on board with anti-LGBTQ causes.
"I unequivocally support the rights of all people without regard to sexual orientation. We are fortunate to employ a wealth of diverse individuals throughout our family of companies, all of whom are important to us — the only criteria on which they are judged is the quality of their job performance; we do not tolerate discrimination in any form."
Anschutz also asserted that he has supported several LGBTQ advocacy groups and stopped supporting any organization that has a track record of endorsing anti-LGBTQ causes.
A representative from his foundation affirmed, when asked about specific groups, that "we have immediately ceased all contributions to such groups."
This year's Coachella festival will take place over two weekends. The first begins on Apr. 14 and runs until the 16 and the second starts on Apr. 21 and ends the 23. Headlining the festival are Radiohead, Beyoncé, and Kendrick Lamar.

Q: TV series or Movie with tall torus-shaped spaceship? Trying to remember a TV series or Movie that had a ship shaped like a tall torus (donut) which had windows on outside and inside that were small and think the ship was coloured red, it might be from the 1970s/1980s but can't be sure, been something I've been trying to remember for a while - hopefully someone can remember, the ship could land on a planet and wasn't too big, the hole of the torus faces up and down so the hole is tall and narrow.

A: I remember a childrens TV series that had a spacecraft that was that shape. It was a remake of Treasure Island - it was called 'Treasure Island in Outer Space'. Some episodes of this are on youtube.

 - there is a shot of the spacecraft in a hangar at 1:21 on this video.

Announcement on the MIT Libraries web site.
I blogged this news on February 6, 2004, when it seemed to be fairly new. But the web site says it was last updated on December 16, 2003. I haven't yet been able to find other web pages showing which date is more accurate. My guess is that it's February news and the revision date on the page is in error.
Summary: "The MIT Libraries have recently taken steps to reduce the impact of two large commercial publishers on our ability to make responsible decisions in selecting information resources for use at MIT. Specifically, we declined three-year renewal contracts that would have required us to guarantee on-going spending levels with Wiley InterScience and Elsevier Science. These actions ensure that if the Libraries need to reduce spending in the next year or two, we can make those decisions based solely on the specific needs of the MIT user community, without giving unfair advantage to certain publishers....The decision to decline the three-year renewals was difficult because the terms for one-year renewals were considerably less attractive. However, the one-year renewals put us in a position of being able to cancel titles next year if we need to."
The announcement links to an MIT web page with more background information.

TH Real Estate invests in UK retail property for TIAA
By IPE staff2016-06-20T12:31:00+01:00
TH Real Estate has invested £93m (€120.1m) for TIAA in a UK retail property asset.
UK REIT Hammerson sold the Thurrock Shopping Park in Essex at a net 5.3% yield.
TH Real Estate said it bought the property for TIAA's general account.
David Turner, head of TIAA European Investment, said: "With its strong south-east location, excellent tenant mix and economic fundamentals, Thurrock Shopping Park met the investment criteria of TIAA."
The park, he said, offers potential to add value through short and long-term asset management initiatives.
"TIAA continues to expand its European and UK portfolio and is focused on assets, sectors and geographies identified for long-term growth and the potential to provide strong risk-adjusted returns," he said.
Hammerson bought the 274,770 sq ft centre in 2012 for £64m (€81.4m).
Ownership of a 26-acre site is being held by Hammerson for development, with planning consent for 320 residential units and 7,600sqm of retail and leisure.
David Atkins, Hammerson chief executive, said: "Thurrock has shown excellent returns during our ownership, and this transaction provides a good opportunity to crystallise a £26m profit on cost, with further upside expected from the retained development opportunity."

5 Common GI/Endoscopy Coding and Billing Mistakes | Colonoscopy and Endoscopy billing procedure.
1. Control of bleeding not separately billable. The control of bleeding is included in biopsy (and most other) endoscopic procedures, and is not separately billable unless the patient comes into the facility with a GI bleed, which is the reason the procedure is being performed – which rarely occurs in the ASC setting.
Control of bleeding can be obtained through means of injections, as well as cauterizations. Injections of epinephrine through an upper endoscopy are coded as 43255. This injection would be included in the ASC facility fee and would not be reimbursed separately from an esophagogastroduodenoscopy or colonoscopy procedure unless the endoscopy case is completed and the patient is in the PACU/recovery area when the bleed occurs, necessitating a return to the OR to treat the hemorrhage.
The control of bleeding by colonoscopy is coded 45382. Append the -78 modifier to the CPT code for the return to the OR for control of bleeding procedures.
2. Only bill for successful surgery. If the physician performing a colonoscopy attempts — but fails — to remove a polyp by snare technique, but he/she is successful at removing the polyp via another technique (such as hot biopsy forceps), only bill the CPT code for the technique/procedure which was successful (use code 45374 for a hot biopsy forceps polypectomy in this case).
For either a colonoscopy or EGD procedure, if a lesion is biopsied and then subsequently the same lesion is removed during the same operative session, code the removal of the lesion only — the biopsy would be considered incidental and not separately billable.
For either a colonoscopy or EGD procedure, if one lesion is biopsied and a separate lesion is removed during the same operative session, code both the biopsy of the lesion and the removal of the separate lesion. Append a -59 modifier to the biopsy procedure if it is unbundled in the CCI unbundling edits.
The physician takes a single biopsy or multiple biopsies of lesions.
For the removal of portions of a polyp by cold biopsy forceps.
For the removal of an entire polyp by cold biopsy forceps technique.
The cold biopsy forceps method is referred to as "cold" since electric current is running to the instrument and no cauterization of bleeding takes place during the removal of tissue.
If the physician performs a snare polypectomy and refers to the technique as "cold snare" or "hot snare," the mention of temperature does not change the coding — the 45385 snare polypectomy code would still be used in either case.
4. Use proper modifiers for incomplete colonoscopies. For both EGD and colonoscopy procedures, a "separate site," for definition purposes, can be a separation between lesions as small as one centimeter. To qualify for billing a colonoscopy code, the scope must move beyond the splenic flexure of the colon. If the scope is not able to move that far, and is only used to examine as far as the sigmoid colon and a portion of the descending colon, it should be coded as 45378 with a -52 or -74 Modifier — depending upon the payor's modifier requirements.
In a colonoscopy, if the patient has a particularly long GI tract and the physician runs out of scope before viewing the entire colon (for example, the scope goes past the splenic flexure but does not extend all the way to the cecum), these procedures should be coded with a -52 Modifier appended for billing purposes.
Failed colonoscopies may also be referred to as "incomplete." Sometimes the physician states the procedure is not completed due to a "poor prep." This occurs when the scope is not able to be advanced past the splenic flexure. Causes of this problem include incomplete preps, unusual patient anatomy, the patient has an obstructing lesion or the provider performing the procedure is inexperienced. These procedures are coded as 45378, with the -52 or -74 modifier indicating a discontinued procedure – the choice of modifier depends on the payor's requirements.
5. Follow proper, current rules for screening procedures. The latest Medicare guidance for the situation where a colonoscopy is scheduled as a screening procedure but a polyp is removed and/or a biopsy is taken, is to not bill the G-code for a screening study but bill the appropriate CPT codes for the procedure(s) performed (45385, 45380-59, etc.). On the claim form, list the diagnoses in field 21 with the screening V-code (V76.51) first followed by the 211.3 polyp or other applicable diagnosis code(s). When linking the diagnosis to the procedure in field 24E of the CMS-1500 claim form, only link the 211.3 polyp code with the 45385 or other colonoscopy code and do not link the screening V-code in field 24E to any procedure code billed. If your Medicare carrier specifically directs billing these procedures in another manner, follow its guidance.

EPC is considered an Essential Service under the current State of Emergency and as such, EPC will endeavour to keep all services running as normal to the best of our ability.
EPC is always concerned about your safety – we do not want to infect you or others with COVID-19, so please be aware that some services may be impacted more than others, including clients who are using non-invasive ventilation, nebulizers or CPAP machines. These procedures are termed "aerosol generating procedures" and when there is community transmission these procedures may increase the risk of COVID-19 infections to EPC staff, and therefore other clients.
Volunteer services are also impacted during community transmission and where possible, transitioned to phone calls or video calls is enabled.
Clients who are stable may be offered a telehealth or phone assessment rather than a face to face assessment. Clients who are nearing death will be visited unless there is a reason this cannot happen.
Where you have visitors from overseas or from a Red Zone, there may be some restriction of services in order to keep other clients safe. This may include staff attending in full PPE and only telephone support available out of business hours. We will discuss the details of this with you at the appropriate time.

"The best partner": Sauber team to be sold to Audi
Perhaps Formula 1's worst kept secret is no longer a secret: Swiss racing team Sauber will become an Audi works team from 2026
Audi officially announced on Wednesday that the Swiss Sauber team (currently Alfa Romeo) will become an Audi works team in Formula 1 from 2026. "Audi has selected Sauber as a strategic partner for the project and plans to acquire a stake in the Sauber Group," the accompanying press release reads.
This has been an open secret in industry circles for some time. The first indications of this were already given at the announcement of Audi's entry into Formula 1 in Spa in August 2022, when Audi CEO Markus Duesman gave his first interviews in the paddock in front of the Sauber hospitality, of all places.
As is customary in such cases, the two parties have agreed not to disclose details of the financial transaction. In the run-up, there was talk of Audi wanting to take over 75 per cent of the shares; 25 per cent could remain under Rausing's control. A purchase price of an estimated 500 million euros is to be paid. These figures have not been confirmed.
Hofmann: Sauber not a new partner for Audi
"We are delighted to have gained such an experienced and competent partner for our ambitious Formula 1 project," said Oliver Hoffmann, Audi's Board Member for Technical Development. "We already know the Sauber Group with its state-of-the-art facility and experienced team from previous collaborations and are convinced that together we will form a strong team."
After all, this is not the first time Audi and Sauber have worked together on the joint Formula 1 team. Audi has already used the wind tunnel in Hinwil, which is just over four hours' drive from Neuburg, in the past for the successful Le Mans project (13 overall victories between 2000 and 2014) and for the Class 1 prototype for the DTM.
Rausing: Why he likes to sell to Audi
In Rausing's view, Audi is "the best partner" for Sauber. That this is not hot air, but quite seriously meant, is proven by his actions in recent years. For as early as 2021, Rausing had an offer from Michael Andretti for a rumoured 350 million US dollars for 80 per cent of the team shares, which he rejected at the time.
With Audi and Sauber it is "clear that both companies have the same values and the same vision. We look forward to achieving our common goals with a strong and successful partnership. "
Neuburg: Powerunit site to be ready in 2023
In the meantime, the development of the powerunit for 2026 continues at full speed in Neuburg. More than 120 employees are already working on the project, and Audi's timetable is ambitious: the expansion of the Neuburg site is to be completed as early as 2023, and an Audi Formula 1 engine is then to run in a Sauber chassis for the first time in 2025.
By the way: Audi again emphasises in the press release that the 2026 reform regulations were an "important prerequisite" for the brand's entry into Formula 1. Although there were long negotiations with the FIA and Formula One, it was only when the new power unit regulations had been cast into shape that the official green light was given for the programme.
In the press release, Audi emphasises: "The electric drive will then have almost as much power as the combustion engine, which comes to 400 kW (544 hp). The highly efficient 1.6-litre turbo engines will be powered by sustainable synthetic fuel that is CO2-neutral (according to EU standards). In addition, Formula 1 has set itself the goal of being CO2-neutral as a racing series by 2030. "

Are you looking for the Suzuki Hayate 125 Parts catalogue? It was like 2 years before I have this manual downloaded over the net. I think this Manual is also available in Suzuki plant. If you want to have a hardcopy of this parts catalogue. I recommend to bought it at Suzuki Plant in Pasig. Or better if you want to have it check in your laptop then Here is the download link.


Looking for a scarf that will keep your neck warm and show off your geeky side at the same time? Then this Doctor Who TARDIS scarf might just be what you are looking for! I'm not sure it is quite as awesome as the Super Mario Bros Piranha Flower scarf but for those that love Doctor Who more than Mario, this is probably the scarf to get. This was available from Geekiana's Etsy store although it seems to be currently sold out. The creator appears to be on vacation right now but hopefully these will come back in stock upon their return. As a side note, the creator calls this a pashmina which as best as I can gather is just a fancy word for scarf although any clothing lovers are welcome to set me straight on the difference in the comments.


AS much as I do like the Sound of Music and all, I chose not to do the 'official' tour this time. Kevin had persuaded Tom to do the tour so off they went in the early morning. I soon left the hotel to do my own touring using foot power.
I immediately headed across to the winding streets of the old town. There was Mozart's birthplace amongst the throngs of tourists. There were solo wanderers, small groups as well as numerous children in what must have been school-organized trips. Some of the teen touring kids had very obvious eye-rolling boredom looks. Some day they will appreciate where they have been.
I was curious about Hohensalzburg so I made my way to what seemed to be paths upward. Not far from this I came upon a large wooden water wheel. Many years ago someone had harnessed the power of a stream from up on the mountain to grind grain into flour. A few years back, wanting to replicate this, an engineer-baker built a new wheel to generate 10kW of power. It turns a generator, which in turn, provides power for an electric mill. Then he bakes this flour into bread available to the public. Smells heavenly.
I came upon the concert hall featured in the SoM where the family does their final concert before fleeing Germany. Unfortunately, it is all hidden behind walls. Thus, up I climbed on the stone steps and pathways as I ascended towards the fortress with ever-improving views of the city. Everyone in Europe was at the top of the climb enjoying these same views. Well worth the climb.
Over the other side, I descended to the far side of the city, stopping in a pastry shop for a sandwich and goodies. I figured that K & T would be back to the hotel, but when I arrived back at 2:30, they had come and left again. Out I returned to find an Austrian beer - which I did, but they seem only to produce light beer, and no dunkel, so had to be happy with one.
A short while later I met up with the guys and we headed back to the Augustiner brauhof where we enjoyed a beer and supper in the tree-covered courtyard. On our way over huge purple clouds came rolling in, a few drops fell... and that was all. Moral of the story - unlike at home where clouds and more clouds mean rain, oftentimes in the mountains, once the clouds move away from the peaks, possibly due to the changing dewpoint the rain does not fall.
We were pretty tired so were not too keen on any city wanderings. I had to pack up my things as I will be taking the train to Munich in the morning.
Out for an early morning walk - recognize this from Sound of Music?
An artsy photo for my computer backdrop at home.
Mozart candies are on sale everywhere.
And here he is himself, and he looks pretty solid.
What a great day of wandering and discovering Salzburg.
Some of the back streets of old Salzburg.
I have always liked the look of European stones and how they arrange them in blended arcs. Something I would like to try at home.
A Christmas store - it was so colourful and sparkly. I'm such a crow!
The oldest church in Salzburg.
The cemetery used for some of the shots in Sound of Music. Remember Rolph blowing the whistle? The studio was used for most though since this cemetery is tiny compared to the movie scenes.
Butterfly or trekking bars are on so many European bicycles and yet so rare in North America. What is wrong with us? Don't we know a good thing when we see it? Apparently not! I think I can get them from Nashbar, but I much prefer dealing with Chain Reaction!
A Sound of Music marketing cow.
We peeked into one of the halls at the Augustiner where a live band was playing hits from the 50s and 60s. They were really good and the crowd was having a great time with a lot of them up dancing.


Branden Faulkner is no stranger to sword fighting. The 11-year-old has plenty of practice.
But on Wednesday, he got a chance to perfect the art like never before.
"I practice at home all the time, using trees as targets and their branches as enemy weapons," he said after learning about stage sword fighting at a workshop hosted by the Centennial Park Library, 2227 23rd Ave., on Wednesday afternoon.
"I loved it," Faulkner said.
While the teens spent most of the hour learning how to stage falls and punches, the group really came alive near the end when Kim brought out the swords. They gathered around excitedly as he passed around his collection of custom-made rapiers and daggers.
The boys particularly enjoyed the Styrofoam noodles that Kim used to teach basic sword moves.
In the workshop, Kim also provided tricks to help the participants maneuver through falling moves. For certain falls, he had them hold an imaginary bowl of soup to prevent wrist injuries as students tried to catch themselves. As they were learning to stage John Wayne-style punches, Kim told the actors to imagine a 2-inch pane of glass that their fists would slide along.
The smiles and giggles throughout the acting lesson made it apparent that the workshop achieved its goal to engage and entertain teens in the community.
"That's what it really all boils down to – fun," Kim said.

Women In International Security (WIIS) is the premier organization in the world dedicated to advancing the leadership and professional development of women in the field of international peace and security. WIIS (pronounced "wise") sponsors leadership training, mentoring, and networking programs as well as substantive events focused on current policy problems. WIIS also supports research projects and policy engagement initiatives on critical international security issues, including the nexus between gender and security.
Core Values and Characteristics
WIIS defines international security broadly, inclusive of a range of disciplines such as conflict resolution and human rights, but focuses on the intersection or nexus of these issues with security.
WIIS bridges the divides among: issues (traditional security and human security); generations of women; and sectors (academic, practitioner, and policymaker).
WIIS educates and inspires women at all stages of their careers – the multigenerational aspect of its network is one of WIIS' greatest strengths.
WIIS builds local, national and global communities that empower women in many different countries.
WIIS encourages the active civic engagement of women and men who understand the importance of inclusive and diverse participation in peace and security.
WIIS is non-profit and non-partisan. WIIS advocates for women's inclusion and leadership in the peace and security fields but does not lobby on specific pieces of legislation.
WIIS provides valuable services and resources to build a global network of women in these fields and increases the number and visibility of women across sectors and around the world.
The Importance of WIIS
Since the founding of WIIS in 1987, women have advanced to increasingly important roles in the field of international security. There are new and expanding opportunities for women's participation globally, as women are present in greater numbers in foreign and defense affairs and now occupy important positions in governments around the world. In recent years, the international community has recognized the important contributions of women to peace and security and has made commitments to include women in peace and security decision-making at all levels. But equal representation of women is not yet a reality, especially at senior levels of policymaking.
Women comprise less than 30 percent of senior leadership positions. Entry into the profession is not necessarily translating into advancement into leadership positions in key peace and security institutions.
The lack of female representation in decision-making positions means that the international community is missing the diversity of expertise and perspectives that are desperately needed in this field. WIIS recognizes that all women do not share the same opinions about how to address the world's security problems. But women often share common experiences and challenges as women, and they often share common, valuable approaches to leadership roles. WIIS' research demonstrates that women in these positions of authority often share consultative, inclusive, and collaborative leadership styles. The contributions that women have made and could potentially make to international peace and security are just beginning to be recognized. WIIS is working to ensure that recognition translates into leadership opportunities for women around the world.
The Global WIIS Network
WIIS has members–women and men—in 47 countries on 6 continents WIIS members work in international organizations, government, NGOs, think tanks, universities, corporations, and media outlets around the world.
US Chapters
Colorado, Florida, New England, New York, Washington DC, WIIS West
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Israel, Italy, Malta, New Zealand, Philippines, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom
"Our mission is profoundly important: Advancing the role of women in the field of international peace and security will be one of the keys to advancing peace and security in our world in the 21st century."
Dr. Chantal de Jonge Oudraat
President, WIIS

Talib Kweli Threatened To Be Arrested After Flight Attendant Lied On Him
It looks like Talib Kweli had a horrible experience while flying on American Airlines. After a dispute over checking a bag, Talib Kweli claims the flight attendant was hostile, rude and unwilling to hear what he was saying. Talib claims the flight attendant then stated he could no longer fly on the flight and the decision was made by their supervisor. Even after the supervisor verified there was nothing wrong with the bag Talib was flying with, the flight attendant refused to fly with him claiming they did not feel safe with him on board. The crew then called the police to remove him from the plane.
On Instagram Talib wrote:
Yesterday afternoon @americanair threatened to have me arrested for no reason at all.
-After clearing my bag with the gate agent, flight attendant Sky Seaglass tells me my bag is too big and I must check it. I asked why, so he got annoyed and called his supervisor.
- The supervisor tells me it's her decision whether I fly or not. That's an important detail.
- The supervisor sees that the attendant Seaglass was wrong about my bag and walks me to my seat and says l'm good to fly.
- Moments later the supervisor comes back and tells me that if I do not obey the flight attendant while in the air, I will go to jail. The whole time, Seaglass, who l'm not talking to at all, is telling people he feels "unsafe."
- Moments later the supervisor comes back and tells me I must leave the plane. I tell her I feel like that's a violation of my human rights and my rights as a customer. She then tells me I must stop recording, even though earlier she said I could record, and was made to sit and wait as everyone exits the plane. I tried to go live 3 times but @instagram kept cutting my audio.
- They then send 3 police officers in.
- Police expressed surprise that @americanair crew threatened me with arrest and said only the police can make that call. Cops then say "we got called out for nothing" and "you didn't do anything wrong." It's right there on video.
My actual luggage is the last screenshot. Clearly, my bag wasn't the issue.
American Airlines has not publicly responded to the incident.


The narratives in this volume constitute immense challenges and small but profoundly significant triumphs. Located within a personal journey of emergence from a space fraught with silences and half-truths, the book documents the life-stories of ten working-class queer women living in north India. In doing so, it dispels the myth that lesbians in India are all urban, westernized and come from upper and middle classes. These real-life narratives create a space for voices with little or no privilege, providing these women with an opportunity to share their lived realities with one another and with others. The stories effectively challenge the notion of women as sexual beings without agency, and it is hoped, will influence the women's movement towards an inclusion of lesbian women in the movement.

Social Capital – the difference that makes the difference?
Social capital is a measure of the quality and quantity of relationships in a community. The better these relationships, the greater the social capital, the easier it is for all sorts of resources to flow through the community to where they are most needed – knowledge and skills, under-used tools and even cash. In communities with low social capital, often characterised by mistrust, greed and fear, people tend to hold what they have instead of making it available for others to use.
The deliberate development of social capital, connecting people, building trust, helping and being helped is perhaps the single most powerful, cost-effective and worthwhile thing that can be done to encourage economic, social and cultural development. Simply put, social capital reduces the effort and cost of getting things done. The more social capital, the better.
Elsie is an investment in social capital.
It provides a process and structure where people can come together and get the help flowing to where people can really use it to do good work.
If you would like to get involved and help the help to flow then here is how.
Leeds Community Enterprise (Elsie for short) is an enterprise accelerator. It is run by a group of trained volunteers drawn from all walks of Leeds life that meet for 2 hours every month to brainstorm advice, guidance and support for anyone in Leeds who is looking to advance a particular project but needs help.
Elsie not only offers practical and technical advice, but will also act as point of contact into other Leeds support networks. She provides a source of wisdom, advice and practical support that can be used by anyone in Leeds who is undertaking any kind of enterprise. It may be a business, a campaign, community group or any other project. Elsie helps anyone who is looking to make progress, but needs a bit of a boost.
All that is required is that you attend a 2 hour training session. After this you will be invited to attend our monthly panels. You are under no obligation to attend, but we intend to make them events that you will not choose to miss. If you think you may wish to use Elsie to help people that you are working with then you should attend advocate training. Otherwise member training is the thing for you.
What will you get from helping Elsie?
The first rounds of training take place in Leeds City Centre on July 6th and 7th. There is no charge to attend, so please do sign up, come along and find out more.
Also please invite anyone who you think may find the project interesting to have a look and get involved.
Been an interesting couple of weeks working on Elsie. Lots of very positive reaction and people coming forward to help which is great.
Please try to think of others who could usefully contribute to the project and invite them to have a look or get in touch.
Have been fielding some questions about Elsie as we go , and have put the answers on the FAQ page. If you have further questions please do get in touch!

Can Britain lead the world in fintech?
Digital innovation: the fintech sector is growing and evolving at a rapid pace Credit: Getty
22 September 2017 • 10:30am
Rosie Murray-West
Barclays UK chief executive Ashok Vaswani discusses the challenge to make Britain a world-leader in fintech
The UK needs to work hard to retain its place at the heart of the world's growing fintech sector, according to Barclays UK chief executive Ashok Vaswani.
He says that Britain "has a lot going for it: a supportive regulatory environment, VC [venture capital] funding, and a supportive legal system. All these things allow fintech to flourish. But we are not alone.
"We've all got to put our shoulders to the wheel. We need to work hard to maintain our position, investing in digital infrastructure, digital identities and rules and regulations around digital etiquette. These are the building blocks we need to put in place, because we need to bring the nation with us."
It is this belief in the importance of digital innovation that has led Barclays to sponsor The Telegraph Future of Fintech conference for the second year running.
The conference, on 28 September, is a chance for C-suite stakeholders to discuss the real economic impact of fintech alongside what it will take to ensure that London holds its dominance as a flagship global capital for investment, talent and growth in this industry.
Mr Vaswani says: "We have traditional competitors like the US but there is also lot of fintech activity happening in India, Estonia, Singapore and South Korea. They are all realising that they can't afford to lag behind.
"Whatever happens after Brexit, the UK has to be sure it can still attract the best talent. Fintech experts need to be able to call the UK home and to feel welcome here."
The age of opportunity
For Barclays, a 327-year-old bank, the pace of change driven by a disruptive fintech industry is a challenge as well as an opportunity.
"Everything is moving so, so fast that it is impossible for anyone to know everything that is going on," Mr Vaswani says. "But we are well positioned to see new ideas emerging from around the world, and we both partner with and compete with other fintech companies to give our customers the best possible experience."
In the UK, Barclays' Eagle Labs programme gives the bank access to new businesses in the early stage, while its new Rise HQ in London is Europe's biggest fintech co-working space.
"While we help smaller businesses, we can leverage this technology with our customer base on our platforms," Mr Vaswani says.
It is collaborations such as this that led to Barclays carrying out the first blockchain trade finance transaction on the new platform from Wave, part of the Barclays accelerator programme.
The fintech conference comes as the finance industry is facing two huge challenges, posed by the introduction of the EU Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) open-banking regulations and new Europe-wide data protection regulators that will change the relationships banks have with their consumers.
"This is all new. There is no proven path we can go down. We must work together to ensure we get this right," says Mr Vaswani.
"For our fintech strategy to work we have to be entirely committed to making our customers' lives easier and identifying opportunities to help the customer to manage their finances in the easiest way," he adds.
"When it comes to fintech, it's important to remember it is all about the customers. They do not care about something called PSD2 – they just want us to make their experience better."
