China Pledges More Action on Economy if Warranted
CHINA - ECONOMY: Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao says his country is prepared to introduce additional stimulus measures if the economy continues to struggle. Speaking Friday in Beijing at the end of the annual session of the National People's Congress, Mr. Wen said the government has "adequate ammunition" if conditions become more difficult. China unveiled a $585 billion stimulus plan in November, much of it devoted to infrastructure projects. But Mr. Wen acknowledged China's annual goal of a minimum eight percent economic growth would be difficult to achieve this year.
US - CHINA: Chinese naval officials are calling a U.S. decision to dispatch destroyers to protect a surveillance vessel in the South China Sea inappropriate. The surveillance vessel, the USNS Impeccable, was involved in a standoff Sunday with Chinese ships. A report Friday in the official China Daily newspaper quotes Chinese naval sources who say the military is was watching developments closely. Chinese sources say the decision to send the world's most advanced destroyers to the area reflects the Pentagon's intention to keep on pressing China in the South China Sea.
NOKOR - SATELLITE: Japan and South Korea have warned North Korea that it will face international sanctions if it follows through with a planned rocket launch in early April. A statement issued Friday by South Korea's Foreign Ministry warned Pyongyang that the launch would violate a 2006 United Nations Security Council resolution barring it from developing ballistic missile technology. The ministry says the test would lead to "consultation and countermeasures." North Korea informed international agencies earlier this week that it will launch a communications satellite between April 4th and April 8th.
PAKISTAN - POLITICS: Pakistani police blocked anti-government marchers for a second straight day Friday, as demonstrators vowed to defy a government ban on rallies. Pakistani lawyers and opposition activists are staging a so-called "long march", which runs from several cities to the capital of Islamabad. Police blocked one convoy Friday that included rally organizer, Ali Ahmed Kurd, (president of the Supreme Court bar association) as it was trying to enter Sindh province. On Thursday, authorites arrested dozens of protesters trying to join the march in Karachi.
US - AFGHANISTAN: A U.S. newspaper reports that President Barack Obama's new strategy on Afghanistan will work to lure militants away from Taliban and al-Qaida organizations. "The New York Times" (newspaper) reports Friday the proposal is part of President Barack Obama's new plan after an intense review of U.S. policy in the region. The newspaper reports the Obama administration also plans to increase military and financial aid to Pakistan, although according to administration officials, there is still debate about how much.
JAPAN - SOMALIA - PIRACY: Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada has ordered two warships to join international anti-piracy efforts in the Gulf of Aden. The two destroyers are expected to leave Japan Saturday to join warships from 17 countries' navies patrolling off the coast of Somalia. The order Friday follows a decision by Japan's cabinet to approve the use of the country's self-defense forces to protect Japanese-flagged ships and Japanese citizens. Japan is also discussing a bill that would allow its warships to protect foreign vessels. Japan's post-World War Two pacifist constitution limits its military to defensive operations.
BURMA - UN: The United Nations refugee agency says it plans to expand operations in a Burmese border area that is home to a Muslim group that has been fleeing Burma by boat. The office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said Thursday that the Burmese government has agreed to allow the agency to expand the assistance it provides in northern Rakhine state. The agency said it will focus on health, education, sanitation, agriculture and infrastructure. The High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, discussed relief activities with Burmese leaders during his six-day visit that ended Thursday.
US - MADOFF: The disgraced U.S. financier charged with one of the worst fraudulent investment schemes in the nation's history is headed directly to jail. Bernard Madoff was escorted from a New York City courtroom in handcuffs after formally pleading guilty Thursday to all 11 charges against him. About 50 seats were set aside for Madoff's victims and applause broke out after presiding Judge Denny Chin told Madoff he will be confined to jail until a formal sentencing hearing in June. Until now, Madoff had been living under house arrest at his $7 million New York apartment.

Puerto Vallarta, also known as PV or just Vallarta, is one of my favorite towns in Mexico to visit with kids. It located on Mexico's Pacific Coast, in Jalisco state and is well known for it's authentic Mexican vibe, good food, warm beach waters and overall safety. There are lots of things to do with kids in Puerto Vallarta, which makes PV a very family friendly destination.
Before I knew it, it was the first week of July, and I hadn't booked any travel for the month yet. My goal is to take the kids someplace new every month; even if just a to a new city in our very own beautiful state of California. I want to make sure that they are exposed to as much as possible, and as well rounded as they can possibly be.
A few days before I booked our trip to Puerto Vallarta, I overhead Aiden talking to his cousins about his trip to Puerto Vallarta a few years back. During their conversation, Aiden's youngest cousin who is 3-years-old chimed in and said "I've never been to Mexico, and I really want to go to Mexico because it is so awesome." That was all I needed to hear, and I immediately started planning a surprise budget trip for all 4 cousins to Puerto Vallarta Mexico. In order for me to take all 4 kids to Mexico, I would really have to budget and plan hard to make it happen, and I am so glad I was able to do it thanks to miles and points accumulated from our travel credit cards.
Puerto Vallarta has desirable weather all year round. This means that it doesn't matter when you travel to Puerto Vallarta, you are guarantee to have warm / hot humid weather with some showers here from July to September. We visited Puerto Vallarta in July and the weather was in the 90's the whole trip. Hot and humid, but still perfect for pool and beach time. It rained for a few minutes on one day of our vacation and that was about it.
Puerto Vallarta is a short 3-hour flight from Los Angeles, which is ideal when travelling with kids. The airport code for Puerto Vallarta is PVR. I traveled to Puerto Vallarta with my son Aiden (5.5 yrs old), my nephew Ethan (5.5 yrs old) and nieces Milania (4.5 yrs old) and Avery (3.5 yrs old). We flew to Puerto Vallarta from Los Angeles on Southwest Airlines and returned on United Airlines.
We flew from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta on Southwest Airlines direct flight for a total of 29,250 points and $159.20.
We love flying Southwest because they allow two free checked bags (we checked 1 bag). There is no prior seat selection allowed, however families with young children are given priority boarding after the A group. If you are traveling with young children, make sure you get to the gate on time, for a better shot at seating with your family.
I checked into my flight as soon as it was the 24hr mark and was able to secure boarding with the A group. This is one of the things I don't fancy about Southwest because I don't always remember to check in on time and end up boarding at the end. This time I set an alarm because I wanted to make sure we could board early and get seats by each other.
The kids were excited to wear their Melissa & Doug Pilot Costume, carry their backpacks and ride their scooters around the airport, even all the way to the gate. They folded their scooters prior boarding the plane, carried them on the plane and I placed them in overhead compartment.
We flew from Puerto Vallarta to Los Angeles on a United Airlines flight with a short layover in San Francisco. I purchased 5 one way basic economy tickets for $716 with a United credit voucher I got last year, so I spent $0 out of pocket.
Basic economy is a very restrictive fare (like flying Frontier Airlines), however, it was the cheapest fare they had and because I was on a budget, it was my first choice. Please note that basic economy fares do not include advance seat selection, group / family seating, a carry-on luggage, flight changes and also does not count towards United lifetime miles or premiere qualification. I took a gamble by purchasing this basic fare, especially traveling with four kids by myself knowing we may not have been assigned seats together. Thankfully, we were assigned seats on the same row. If you purchase basic economy tickets, make sure to get to the airport early so that you can request seats by each other, but that isn't always guarantee, even when flying with young children.
Scooters are not allowed on the plane when flying from Mexico, so I had to check in our luggage and the kids scooters as well. We had a short layover in San Francisco, so the kids were able to grab their scooters, ride it around the San Francisco airport and then take it on the plane for our San Francisco to Los Angeles flight.
With 4 kids in tow, I decided not to rent a car on this trip. Also because I didn't plan to leave the resort much so it would haVe been a waste of money. We took a 7 seater Taxi from the airport to the Hotel and it cost $20. As soon as you get out of the airport, you will see the taxi line (It's impossible to miss). If you prefer, you can always reserve transportation ahead of time.
PS: Uber does not pick up at the Airport.
We took Uber when we went out to breakfast and to the Malecon. I much prefer Uber to Taxi because it's cheaper and I don't have t haggle prices or carry cash. We also took Uber from our Hotel to the airport when we were leaving.
Car seats are not required in Mexico, however prior to our trip I purchased Mifold's and a BubbleBum for the kids. Those are currently the two most portable travel backless booster seats on the market at this time.
We stayed at Hilton Puerto Vallarta Resort for 5 nights. I booked this hotel using 208,000 Hilton points and $0; which included a free night (each night was 52,000 points). Most Hilton's offer the 5th night free deal when you book using point, which I think is awesome. The Hilton Puerto Vallarta Resort is located right on the beach which makes going between the hotel, the pool and the beach very convenient. IT is an all inclusive resort so all meals and drinks are free. They have a buffet which is open all day, 24 hour room service and specialty restaurants as well such as French, Brazilian, Spanish and Asian. To dine in the specialty restaurants, a reservation is needed, so make sure to wake up early and reserve a spot before it fill up. Specialty restaurants also only accept reservations when dining with children at a specific time.
I did not have a rental car and needed to stay at a place where everything was accessible like the pool and beach.
I wanted to take advantage of the kids club so I could take a break if I needed to.
Just like on our first trip to Puerto Vallarta a few years back, we spent a lot of time between the beach and the pool. The kids loved both, so we basically spent hours swimming in the pool, and chasing waves at the beach.
One of the main reasons I booked the Hilton Puerto Vallarta Resort is due to it's location. Because I was the only adult with 4 kids, it was important that everything be in close proximity so I wouldn't need to drive or walk far to take them anywhere.
We approached by a guy at the beach who asked if we wanted to go parasailing for $120 or jet skiing for $60. I politely declined as it definitely wasn't in my budget.
The Hilton Puerto Vallarta Resort has two pools, both directly by each other, and also less than a minute walk to the beach. I love having the pool and beach so together, it makes going back and forth between both so easy. When we got to Puerto Vallarta, I blew up the inflatable arm floaters I had packed for the kids just to be safe. After a few hours in the water, all the kids were swimming unassisted like little fishes. It was so amazing to see!! They did love wearing their Speedo Swim Caps & Goggles.
I packed matching outfits for the kids because I wanted to capture some photos of them by the beach. I love taking photos, you ask why, because memories!! When the kids look back at their photos and videos from every trip, they gleam with joy. The look on their faces is why I'm constantly snapping away. Plus, a photoshoot with your besties at the beach in matching outfits, uhhmm why not?
The look on their faces when they woke up and saw all that food was priceless. They didn't know how it got to the room, so it was a surprise for them and they really appreciated it.
The kids had been talking about ziplining and asking to try it out, so I decided to surprise them and book a ziplining excursion. I booked this tour the day before we left to Puerto Vallarta. I booked it through Estigo Tours. They were very prompt in getting back to me and answering all my questions. The zipline excursion was on sale, yay! I paid $175 total for all 5 of us which I think was a steal. Our experience was great and the guides were amazing. The kids did a few lines on their own, and the rest with the guides, 2 kids per guide.
The kids loved ziplining and have asked to do it again! Thanks to Estigo Tours for the great experience.
The Malecon is the happening street in Puerto Vallarta. It is a boardwalk and it is located right on the beach. It filled with day life and night life. The kids chatted with locals, chased bubbles around a street vendor, rode their scooters, took photos with the sculptures and more. There are also restaurants and shops here. There is so much to do and see at the Malecon.
During my quest for good street food, I was directed to El Pitillal by several locals. El Pitillal is located in Puerto Vallarta, about 20 minutes from the Malecon. I loved the friendly little town vibe we got there and especially the fact that my kids were quick to play with the local kids with no hesitation. One of the reasons I love visiting parts of Mexico that are not touristy. I love getting with the locals and just chatting up with them in the little Spanish I know. It gives me a chance to practice, the kids as well.
We ate most of our meals at the hotel. After hours un-end of swimming and playing, poolside tacos, pizzas and more fueled us every afternoon. Some of the kids are a bit picky, but I did make sure that they tried new things before turning it down.
Exchange money before you get to Mexico because you'll get a much better exchange rate that whatever they are offering you at the airport.
Avoid withdrawing money from the ATM because the ATM and bank fees are ridiculous as well.
Make sure you change at least $30 to $1's so that you can tip. I much prefer to tip in dollars because I know exactly how much I am tipping. I don't fancy always having to convert money.
Take your pool toys with you such as this collapsible beach bucket, or buy them at Walmart or Costco, it is much cheaper.
Bug and mosquito spray is a must. We still got bit even after spraying our entire bodies. 2 of the kids didn't react to it, however myself and 2 of the other kids were covered in welts and bites and so itchy.
Make sure to pack Benadryl, Children's Benadryl, Benadryl Itch Gel, Triple antibiotic ointment and Hydrocrotizone cream also, just in case you / your kids react to bug bites. I forgot mine at home at had to buy it at the hotel for triple the price. Yes, they really got me there.
When offered a CD or flash drive of the photos from any excursion, make sure you try to get a lower price. I was initially told the CD with photos was $75, however I ended up paying $10 for it. No way I was paying $75 for mediocre photos.
For the first time, I decided to include an expense recap in this blog post especially because I've been asked often how much we spend on trips or how we are able to travel so often. People think we are rich, but that is hardly the truth.
We make a lot of sacrifices to be able to travel. For example, my husband and I wanted to take all 4 kids to Mexico, however that was going to put us way over our $500 budget. So one of the sacrifices we made was me taking the kids without my husband. If my husband had joined us, it would have put us over budget because 1) we would have needed and extra room and we didn't have an extra 208,000 points 2) I didn't have enough on my voucher to cover his return ticket. Traveling with all 4 kids by myself was exhausting, yes, but absolutely worth it for all the things they get to experience and everything they are exposed to.
A month or two ago I sold all of Aiden's old clothes and made over $500. That money covered ALL the expenses on this trip, as well as using points and miles. Travel is a priority for me, so I make sure to do lots of research, travel where is cheap and spend as little money as possible so that we can travel again soon.
Expert Tip: You can find the cheapest place to travel to from any city at any time of year by using Skyscanner. Don't forget to make sure that you download the Skyscanner App also to track flight prices so that you know when is best to purchase your ticket.
Not listed below is our flight on United because it was paid for by an airline voucher that I was given for free due to an issue with a flight I had sometime last year.
Looks like you all had an awesome time and did an amazing job of budgetting for it. Not often you see people come in so close under their budget! I also don't like hotel food that much, but it looks like it was the right decision…. and those pizzas!
If had 4 cute kids like yours – i would definitely pick Hilton Puerto Vallarta Resort as well! The pool looks great and it looks very kid friendly. Will definitely recommend this hotel to my other friends who have little shorties running around on their next trip to Puerto Vallarta!
Glad your kids are having an enjoyable summer!
First of all your kids are extremely cute!! I cant stop looking at those amazing photos especially that photoshoot at the beach! so wonderful! it amazing you were able to use your point and have such a fabulous time with your family! You guys looks so happy! Ive never heard about Puerto Vallarta but it seems like a perfect place for holidays! That pool in Hilton looks great!
Puerto Vallarta looks like a great destination for young families. I love the suggestion of being a model on the beach too. Thanks for the tips about exchanging before arriving in Mexico; I always do it when I'm in the country. What a lovely family break you had!
You rock mama. My daughter and I..my 2.5 year old.. will be moving to PV in 30 days. For at least 4 months. Happy to hear it's super child friendly.

Are 15 Minute Mortgage Approvals the Future?
By Clarence S. Petty	 On Sep 27, 2021
United Wholesale Mortgage says the new automated document recognition and processing capabilities the company has developed in-house will allow mortgage brokers to get initial approvals from qualified borrowers in 15 minutes.
The new self-service platform, BOLT, is available as an option when brokers upload loan applications with required documentation into UWM's loan origination system, EASE.
BOLT categorizes and extracts information from documents such as driver's licenses, tax returns, and county records, and provides brokers with access to the same income calculator used by UWM underwriters. To maintain accuracy, the company said, automated tools and artificial intelligence notify users of potential deviations.
Mat Ishbia
"UWM has built this technology, which uses things like document recognition and indexing," said Mat Ishbia, CEO of UWM, in a declaration. "This will allow the initial approval of the case to be completed in minutes rather than hours, while ensuring that guardrails and quality standards are in place, as they always are with UWM, to conclude. own loans. "
Intelligent document processing is fast becoming a 'must have' for mortgage lenders looking for ways to cut costs, speed up approvals, and scale up or down to meet changing demand. . Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure offer proprietary AI and machine learning capabilities that can be customized for lenders.
UWM, based in Pontiac, Mich., Which called the new tool "revolutionary" in its statement, was the nation's second-largest mortgage lender in 2020, behind Rocket Mortgage. Rocket touts the simplicity and speed of its application process, which has been particularly popular with homeowners refinancing their existing mortgages.
UWM works with mortgage brokers, but has invested in improvements to its process that also benefit borrowers. This month, the company announced that it will launch a new internal rating capability on October 1 that will give brokers the ability to bypass rating management companies. UWM Appraisal Direct will employ a team of 100 employees to work directly with appraisers to deliver appraisals within 5 to 7 days, the company said.
Ishbia supports mortgage brokers as the key to UWM's future growth, and said UWM uses social media and other marketing channels to "let realtors and consumers know that the best way to to get a mortgage is to go through a broker ".
Origins of UWM mortgages by type
Source: Data from UWM regulatory files compiled by Inman
UWM issued a record $ 59.2 billion in mortgages in the second quarter, with purchase loan creations up 97% from the first quarter and 288% from a year ago. a year ago, when the pandemic crippled home sales.
"As we said before, UWM is designed to be successful not only when there is a boom in refi and margins hit record highs, but also when margins are squeezed and buying drives volume," Ishbia said last month when the company released its second quarter results.

Lawler noted that he hasn't had any negative aftereffects from the heart attack and said the worst things about it are not being able to eat fried chicken as much as he used to and that he hasn't been cleared to return to the ring. He added that he never worked out or exercised before the attack but is doing so now and says he wants to return to the ring.

One of the biggest Hollywood releases this Christmas is Ben Stiller's remake The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a family-friendly tale of a lonely man whose day dreams inspire him to go on a globe trotting adventure. In the end, he'll try to become the best possible version of himself.
There have been no shortage of teasers, trailers, and clips for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Ben Stiller's latest directorial effort, but for the most part the footage has been revealed in brief one- or two-minute increments. Today, we have a brand-new trailer for the romantic adventure that clocks in at six minutes long.
Based on the 1939 short story by James Thurber and the 1947 movie inspired by same, Stiller's Walter Mitty follows a timid Life Magazine photo editor who constantly daydreams to escape his dull life. When his job is threatened, however, he sets out on an epic journey every bit as incredible as the elaborate fantasy sequences he's concocted in his head. Watch the latest promo after the jump.
Most of us lead fantasy lives more "noteworthy and mentionable," as one might put it, than our real lives, but the protagonist (Ben Stiller) of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty faces a bigger divide than most. In his daydreams, he's a handsome hero who sweeps his crush (Kristen Wiig) off her feet, whereas in reality he can barely look her in the eye.
But that all starts to change for him when real-life circumstances threaten to put him out of a job. In order to save himself and the woman he loves, he must embark on the kind of wild, colorful adventure he'd previously only imagined. Hit the jump to watch the newest trailer.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty isn't a fantasy movie per se. There are no hobbits or house elves, and when Walter needs to get from New York to Greenland he hitches a ride on an airplane, not a friendly dragon. But the world inside Walter's head is a different story, as demonstrated in the latest clip from Ben Stiller's fanciful drama. Check it out after the jump.
We've seen two trailers for Ben Stiller's new film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, in which Stiller plays a Life Magazine employee who pines away for a co-worker. Mitty daydreams himself into wild encounters with the object of his affections, but eventually starts living some real-life adventures. Those two trailers showed the pining and some of the adventure, both real and imagined.
Along with dropping temperatures and changing leaves, one hallmark of the summer-to-fall transition is the gradual replacement of action-movie tentpoles with awards season hopefuls at the multiplex. With Labor Day weekend just around the corner, the first posters have dropped for two Oscar contenders coming to theaters in the cooler months.
The first poster, for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, features director/star Ben Stiller literally walking on air, while the one for J.C. Chandor's survival drama All Is Lost drags Robert Redford down into the water. Check them out after the jump.

Paul Tanqueray (14 January 1905 – September 1991) was an English photographer.

Biography
Tanqueray was born in Littlehampton, Sussex. Tanqueray first became interested in the theatre and photography when he was at Tonbridge School (1920-1923) and won the school's Photographic prize. Through his contact with an ex-pupil of the Tonbridge School Hugh Cecil, Tanqueray began his photographic career as one of his pupils.

Paul Tanqueray opened his first studio at 139, High Street, Kensington in 1925. As London's then youngest photographer, he was in a perfect position to document an era that had become obsessed with youth and modernism. During this time he employed an ex-Cambridge graduate as his assistant, Cecil Beaton, until Beaton was taken on by Vogue.

Five years of success in Kensington led to a move the more fashionable West End of London at 8, Dover Street, near the Ritz Hotel. Tanqueray's photographs appeared regularly in the weekly  Sketch and Tatler and most frequently inside and on the cover of Theatre World. His work, including    Ethel Mannin and his 1929 and 1933 a portraits of Anna May Wong, was also selected and hung at the annual London Salon of Photography.

During the Second World War Tanqueray worked mainly with Chelsea Home Guard. After the war he re-opened his studio at 30, Thurloe Place in South Kensington, where his 1950s  famous images included Elizabeth Seal, Dame Joan Plowright, Vanessa Redgrave and actress Claire Bloom.

Tanqueray retired in 1965, and in two tranches donated his prints in 1975, and his negatives in 1983 to the National Portrait Gallery. Tanqueray died in September 1991.

Why we love Ben & Jerry's 'Say I DOugh' campaign
There's a lot of respect – and lessons to be learnt - from businesses that proudly back causes close to their social values.
In the case of Ben & Jerry's, this has been an ongoing association with supporting marriage equality for gays and lesbians.
In 2009 they renamed their 'Chubby Hubby' flavor to 'Hubby Hubby' to show their support of Vermont passing a same-sex marriage law, and in the UK in 2012, they created a special edition flavour, called 'Apple-y Ever After' to encourage the government to also legalise same-sex marriage.
Now it's Australia's turn with Ben & Jerry's launching the "Say I Dough" campaign and working alongside Australian Marriage Equality on a sub-campaign called #EqualityCalling. Equality calling encourages Australians to call a voicemail-service where they can leave their message of support for same-sex marriage; which will also be passed on to local politicians and shared on social media. The epicentre of the campaign was a phone box that people could use to leave these messages of support directly and in a very visually impactful way.
[embedyt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu2VBQBpn7U&t=22;width=900&height=300[/embedyt]
In a move of further support, Ben & Jerry's has changed its 'Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough' flavour's name to 'I Dough, I Dough'.
The ice-cream company says of its position:
"Very simply, Ben & Jerry's supports marriage equality for gays and lesbians everywhere. We will continue to work in partnership with relevant non-profit organisations to: build public support for marriage equality, add our voice to the public discourse around marriage equality [and] celebrate the expansion of marriage equality to new states and countries."
Ben & Jerry's are a great example of a company in touch with their social values, and they know how to align themselves to related, worthwhile causes through creative campaigns.

'Westworld' Season 3 Trailer Pays Homage to a Famous NYC Photo

Shortly after melting the Iron Throne in the series finale of Game of Thrones, HBO prepared its audience to re-enter the complicated world of Westworld. The first trailer for Season 3, premiering in 2020, takes viewers out of the parks and into the "real" world. One moment in the trailer cements this fact by paying homage to a now iconic photograph, "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper".
Also read: There's a Westworld Season 3 spoiler hiding in the new trailer.
Roughly 20 seconds into the new trailer for Westworld Season 3, released on Sunday, Aaron Paul (best known for his role in the AMC series Breaking Bad) sits beside a Chappie-esque worker robot atop a floating beam in a metropolitan city. It looks like New York, but a handful of other shots reveal a less dense cityscape with mountains off into the distance. Production of Season 3 took place in Hermosa Beach Pier in California and its usual home in Moab, Utah.
The image of Aaron Paul's unnamed character, a blue-collar construction worker and low-level criminal, eating lunch next to a drone (because he's lonely, see) is highly suggestive of the 1932 photograph Lunch Atop a Skyscraper, a famous image of 20th century America that shares some surprising similarities to the themes of the HBO series.
Taken on September 20, 1932 by Charles C. Ebbets, 11 construction workers are seen sitting on a grinder that hung 820 feet above New York City. The picture was taken during the final stages of construction on the RCA Building, now 30 Rockefeller Plaza (or "30 Rock").
While the people in the photo were real workers, the photo was staged as a publicity stunt to promote the debut of the skyscraper. This was confirmed in a 2012 interview with Ken Johnston, historian and archivist for Corbis Images, who told The Independent: "The image was a publicity effort by the Rockefeller Center. It seems pretty clear they were real workers, but the event was organized with a number of photographers."

In an abstract way, the origins and nature of the photograph — a carefully arranged tableaux to promote an enterprise — shares a lot in common with Westworld, an interactive theme park franchise that allows guests to live out their dreams. Like the construction workers, the lifelike "hosts" of Westworld are conscious artificial beings. But the environment in which the hosts find themselves is a facsimile that only serves as a playground for imagination.
Or something. It's also just a cute homage that helps familiarize us, the audience, to Aaron Paul's character, who is pathetically lonely in a world where loneliness can be cured with a trip to Westworld. (If you're rich enough.) But because he meets Evan Rachel Wood's Dolores in the closing moments of the trailer, maybe he too will learn that violent delights have violent ends.
Westworld will premiere in 2020 on HBO.

What's Green, White and Blue? American Jobs
Posted on August 10, 2010 by Leo Gerard
Red, as in furiously red, defined the day last fall when a consortium of companies announced it wanted $450 million in U.S. stimulus money to build a wind farm in Texas, creating 2,000 jobs in China and 300 in America.
Now, nine months later, things have cooled down and turned around. In a deal with the United Steelworkers (USW), two Chinese companies have agreed to build as much of the wind turbines as possible in America, using American-made steel, and creating perhaps 1,000 American jobs.
The deal is a result of white collar Chinese executives negotiating with blue collar union officers to create green collar jobs in the U.S. The agreement defies stereotypes about unions as constantly combative, excessively expensive and environmentally challenged. The USW has a track record of engaging with enlightened CEOs for mutual benefit. It has a long green history. And it has worked to return off-shored jobs to the U.S.
The USW, like the Democrats in the House and Senate with their Make It in America program, is devoted to preserving and creating family-supporting, prosperity-generating manufacturing jobs in America. And if they're green, all the better.
Billionaire investor Wilbur Ross has first-hand experience negotiating with unions, including the USW, to sustain U.S. manufacturing. He describes it positively. Here he is on PBS' Charlie Rose on Aug. 2:
"I have found the leaders of big industrial unions, the steelworkers, the auto workers, they understand dynamics of industry at least as well as the senior management of the companies."
Ross talked to Rose about dealing with the USW during the time when he was buying LTV Steel:
"We worked out a contract that took 32 job classifications down to five, changed work rules to make it more flexible and most important of all, we put in a blue collar bonus system. . .We became the most efficient steel company in America. We were making steel with less than one man hour per ton. The Chinese at the time were using six man hours per ton. We were actually exporting some steel to China."
Ross accomplished that while paying among the highest wages for manufacturing workers in America.
The USW approached the Chinese companies that planned the $1.5 billion Texas wind farm, A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd. and Shenyang Power Group, the same way it did Ross. The meetings occurred with the help of U.S. Renewable Energy Group, a private equity firm that facilitates international financing and investment in renewable energy projects. Jinxiang Lu, chairman and chief executive of Shenyang Power, said talking to the union enabled him to see its "vision for win-win relationships between manufacturers and workers."
For the USW, this deal means the Chinese firms will initially buy approximately 50,000 tons of steel manufactured in unionized American mills to fabricate towers and rebar for the 615 megawatt wind farm in Texas, will employ Americans at a wind turbine assembly plant to be built in Nevada, and will employ more American workers in green jobs at plants constructing the blades, towers and thousands of other wind turbine parts.
For the Chinese companies, the USW, the largest manufacturing union in America, will use its long list of industry contacts to help construct an American supply chain essential to amass the approximately 8,000 components in a wind turbine. The idea is to collaboratively create a solid manufacturing, assembly, component sourcing, and distribution system so that this team – the Chinese companies, U.S. Renewable Energy Group and the USW — will build many more wind farms after the first in Texas.
Additional wind farms mean more renewable energy freeing the U.S. from reliance on foreign oil. As U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, says, there's no point in replacing imported foreign oil with imported wind turbines. For energy and economic independence, green manufacturing capacity and green jobs must be in the U.S.
This deal does that. And there's nothing unusual about foreign companies employing Americans. Many Americans, including USW members, already work in factories owned by many different foreign national companies, including German, Russian, Japanese, Mexican, and Brazilian, with names like Bridgestone-Firestone, Arcelor-Mittal, Rio Tinto, Grupo Mexico, Svenska Cellulosa AB (SCA) and Severstal.
In at least one other case, action by the USW forced the hand of a Chinese company to move jobs to the U.S. Tianjin Pipe, the world's largest manufacturer of steel pipe, said it could not export profitably to the United States if tariffs rose above 20 percent. This was after the USW and seven steel manufacturers filed a petition with U.S. trade agencies in April of 2009 accusing China of illegally dumping and subsidizing the type of pipe used in the oil and gas industry. The union won that case this past April, and the U.S. Commerce Department imposed import duties ranging from 30 to 100 percent to give the domestic industry relief from the unfair trade practices. To continue selling in the U.S., Tianjin Pipe had no choice but to build an American pipe mill. Construction is expected to begin in Texas this fall on the $1 billion plant to employ 600 by 2010.
Although the USW is cooperating with A-Power and Shenyang Power, it will not back off its trade cases involving exported Chinese steel, pipe, tires, paper and other manufactured products. The stakes for U.S. jobs are just too high.
Back in 1990, when green was not as trendy, the USW recognized that the environment would be among the most important issues of the era and issued the report, "Our Children's World." Since then, it has steadily promoted green — became a founding member of the BlueGreen Alliance and Apollo Alliance, which promote renewable energy and renewable energy jobs.
Good, green American manufacturing jobs. Establishing American energy independence. It is win-win. And it's getting a green light now.
About The Author: Leo Gerard is the United Steelworkers International President. Under his leadership, the USW joined with Unite -the biggest union in the UK and Republic of Ireland – to create Workers Uniting, the first global union. He has also helped pass legislation, including the landmark Canadian Westray Bill, making corporations criminally liable when they kill or seriously injure their employees or members of the public.

Whooping Cough (Pertussis): Symptoms & Treatment
Symptom Guides > Cold & Flu > Whooping Cough (Pertussis): Symptoms & Treatment
Dr. Jenell Decker
Dr. Decker is a family medicine physician who completed her residency at East Carolina University School of Medicine. She graduated medical school from Marshall University School of Medicine.
Want relief from your coughing?
Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is a highly contagious bacterial infection in the lungs. The most common symptom is an uncontrollable, hacking cough. After coughing, a person with pertussis usually needs to take deep inhales, resulting in a "whooping" sound, which gives the condition its name.
In this article, we'll explore:
• What Is Whooping Cough (Pertussis)?
• Stages of Whooping Cough
• What Causes Whooping Cough?
• Whooping Cough Symptoms
• Whooping Cough Treatment Options
• The Whooping Cough Vaccine
• Whooping Cough in Children
• Related Conditions and Risk Factors
What Is Whooping Cough (Pertussis)?
Whooping cough (pertussis) is a respiratory tract infection that can affect all age groups, but occurs most commonly in infants and children. Adults who contract pertussis usually experience symptoms that are more mild. In fact, doctors may misdiagnose pertussis symptoms in adults as asthma or bronchitis.
The pertussis vaccine can help prevent you from getting whooping cough, though it isn't 100% effective.
Stages of Whooping Cough
Whooping cough symptoms appear in three stages:
Stage one: Stage one lasts approximately 1-2 weeks. It is characterized by a low fever, sneezing, and a sporadic, mild cough.
Stage two: Stage two lasts 1-2 months. The cough becomes more serious, and a whooping noise may follow coughing fits. Occasionally someone with whooping cough could vomit and/or turn blue during this stage.
Stage three: Stage three can last anywhere from weeks to months. In this recovery stage, the cough lessens. However, it could return if the person infected contracts a different respiratory infection.
Someone infected with whooping cough can be contagious for up to three weeks after they begin coughing.
What Causes Whooping Cough?
The bacteria Bordetella pertussis causes whooping cough. Whooping cough spreads when an infected individual coughs or sneezes. As a result, pertussis often moves quickly through households. Before vaccines, approximately 157 per 10,000 people contracted whooping cough in the U.S.
It can take seven to ten days for the first signs of whooping cough to appear, though symptoms can take even longer to appear. At first, the symptoms of whooping cough can resemble a common cold, and include:
Mild fever
Congested nose
While pertussis symptoms can initially resemble a cold or even the flu, symptoms begin to worsen after a week or two. Severe coughing fits, some of which can last a couple minutes, begin. The fits are interrupted and/or followed by gasps for air. The whooping sound is less common in babies and children, who might gag or, in some cases, temporarily stop breathing.
Whooping Cough Treatment Options
While adults and children can usually treat whooping cough at home, infants are more likely to require hospital treatment because of the severity of symptoms and potential for complications in that age group.
Antibiotics are used early in diagnosis to kill the bacteria responsible for pertussis and prevent someone from becoming contagious. However, if the disease is diagnosed too late, antibiotics may or may not be prescribed. If they are prescribed it is to prevent the spread of the bacteria or becoming someone who is a carrier of the bacteria, not to treat the illness.
Treatment options for whooping cough are:
Oxygen: A face mask might be administered if breathing assistance is needed.
Corticosteroids: Corticosteroids are hormones that can reduce inflammation to help with breathing. They can be used in conjunction with antibiotics.
At-home treatment for whooping cough can include:
Plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen to help with a fever or sore throat
A vaporizer to loosen mucus
Do not use over-the-counter cough suppressants or medicines as these will not be effective for whooping cough.
The Whooping Cough Vaccine
The whooping cough vaccine can help prevent all age groups from contracting the disease. Infants receive the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) vaccine on a schedule starting at two months old. Once the vaccine series is complete a booster must be readministered every six to ten years to continue protection. Even adults who are around young children should have a booster regularly. Side effects of the vaccine are notably mild, and can include redness, tenderness, and in some instances, a fever.
School requirements for whooping cough vaccines:
Pre-K: Four doses of the DTaP vaccine.
Kindergarten to 5th grade: Five doses of the DTaP vaccine. Can also be four doses if they start at age four or older, or three doses if they start at age seven or older.
6th grade to 12th grade: Three doses of the DTaP vaccine/one dose of the Tdap booster if they haven't received it at age seven or older.
Whooping Cough in Children
Whooping cough is most common in infants and young children. While adults can contract whooping cough, the symptoms are often less severe, but they can spread it to infants and young children.
Infants: Whooping cough can be very serious in infants, especially those six months or younger. Children under 18 months of age should be monitored closely, as there is the possibility that the coughing fits could prevent them from breathing.
Young children: Young children are also at risk for developing whooping cough. Whooping cough is so contagious that eight out of ten people who haven't received the vaccine will get it after being exposed to someone who's infected. Antibiotics will typically be prescribed to children who have whooping cough, and may also be administered to family members or others who have been in close contact.
You should seek immediate medical attention if you're experiencing symptoms and non-stop coughing fits are causing:
Skin turning blue or red
You should also see a doctor immediately if your child:
Has sunken eyes and is urinating less frequently
Is not drinking fluids or eating
Is sleeping too much or seems restless/is sleeping too little
Is three months or younger with a rectal temperature of 101° F or higher
Related Conditions and Risk Factors
Related conditions to whooping cough include:
Infants/young adults:
Encephalophy (brain damage or disease)
Dehydration/weight loss
About 50% of infants under the age of one will need hospital care. In extreme cases, whooping cough can be fatal to infants.
Teens/adults:
Loss of bladder control
Broken blood vessels in the eyes or skin
Risk factors for whooping cough vary. Because the effectiveness of the whooping cough vaccine declines with time, teenagers and adults can be susceptible to getting whooping cough due as the vaccine gradually wears off.
Infants who are under one year and are either unvaccinated or haven't received all their vaccines are also very vulnerable.

I posted this on Thai Visa and wanted to share on this forum also.
The wife and I just returned to the US from a house hunting trip in Chiang Mai. Prior to our trip we searched many real estate websites trying to get a short list of houses we wanted to visit on our arrival. I sent numerous request for information but unfortunately we only got about two responses. Although discouraged as to the lack of responses, I kept a positive attitude thinking my Thai wife could call the contact phone numbers we got from the respective websites. Again frustration was the rule of the day as most of the numbers we called went unanswered (and we did leave voice mails) or the listing agent was busy and couldn't assist us.
However, we were fortunate to get a return call from a gentleman who told us he was out of town but gave us a name of another real estate agent. My wife called the number and this lady, named "Oh", turned out to be a godsend. Not only did she pick us up at our hotel, she spent most of the day showing us the houses we wanted to see to include numerous other properties. Actually, we spent the next 10 days with her and her husband as they went out of their way to help us find the house fitting our budget and style. Her husband, Matt who relocated to Chiang Mai from Singapore, was a wealth of knowledge about the local area that assisting us greatly in deciding where to buy. He even gave me a lot of great advice on what I need to do prior to relocating on a retirement visa. With their outstanding assistance, we were able to find our future retirement home. Matt was very meticulous in preparing the paperwork and explained to the wife and I the details of the contract to ensure we were protected in making our purchase.

Deadpool's creator has admitted that there "may not be another" movie in the franchise, though is "fine" if that is the case.
The future of the franchise is up in the air at the moment following Disney's acquisition of Fox, with the last movie in the series, Deadpool 2, released back in 2018.
Speaking to Collider about the possibility of Deadpool 3, Rob Liefeld said: "You know what? There may not be another Deadpool, and I'm fine. Because I have to live with the fact that I had two amazing experiences, two movies I'm extremely proud of, I love knowing everybody on those movies.
"I love Ryan [Reynolds], Josh [Brolin], Zazie [Beets], David [Leitch], Tim Miller. All of them. The work they did was fantabulous, those movies are here to stand the test of time. You know, but in the world we live in, nothing is guaranteed. And it takes a lot to make movies. And post-quarantine, it's weird."
Liefeld also addressed the possibility of a spin-off for Brolin's character Cable, noting: "Cable should have his own movie series. He can exist independent of Deadpool in a heartbeat. He has for years.
"If Deadpool's been in like 330 comics, Cable's been in about 520. Yes, I've counted…. In between Deadpool 2 wrapping and opening, I got really close with Josh. And he was very excited about exploring Cable in the subsequent sequels. The X-Force standalone movie that was, in his own words, Cable-centric."
Last year, Deadpool 2 director David Leitch revealed that he had some "crazy ideas" for a potential third film.
"In everybody's world, everybody wants to make it," he said. "So, if I was ever approached to make Deadpool 3, my answer would be, 'Hell yes,' but I think there's a lot of things going on in the shake-up with Fox and Disney and where that whole Marvel world after Endgame is gonna be."
"I have a lot of ideas but I'm keeping them close to my vest so, if they ever come and I'm grateful enough for them to call, I can share all my crazy ideas."

This is something I really wanted to make last year, but didn't have the skills to figure it out. Then knotcurser http://lumberjocks.com/projects/96709 posted one a little while ago with links to Steve Garrisons video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtgbNyHRFGA. I watched the video, read his books, and was finally able to figure it out. I burned the first three attempts, was only slightly OK with the next three (the ones in the last pic) and thrilled with the last two. The three are walnut, the first two are red cedar. the first stand is silver maple, and the second is curly maple, turned in the square bowl style. Finished with wipe on poly and waxed and buffed.
Outstanding work!Wood looks great.Shells ofcourse too!
Those, my friend, are totally cool!
Beautiful and complex job. Aside from just carving them I can't see how they are done. Guess I'll have to watch the videos too. Thanks for sharing.
I've seen these and marvelled at them as well but your personal creative touches make these ones really special.
I love your work, nice.
Outstanding work. The shells are beautifully done. Thanks for sharing the video link with us.
We should know that there is nothing short of Perfection from your shop. Excellent job.
Those are great and on my bucket list to learn. My wife would love some. I watch the video and it looks doable with some practice. Thanks for the link!
Beautifully designed and carried out impressive and beautiful Great Work !
-- The pig caught under the fence is always the one doing all the squealing !
They all look really great, but I think the red cedar ones have a bit more character with the contrasting sapwood.
Those are beautiful. I don't think I could ever make one!!

AIWTRO Chapter Forty-Six
"Ah, my lady?!"
"W-where did you come from?'
Did you hear what we just said?
If she hadn't, her expression wouldn't have been so cold.
They haven't seen Her Ladyship sport such a frosty look in a long time.
She must have misunderstood that the Knights of Parvis were scheming behind her back.
Just as Arthur was about to make up excuses, the knights heard a voice above their head.
Marquis: "Keira, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Looking up, they saw an old man with a familiar face.
It was none other than Marquis of Edinburgh, Her Ladyship's maternal grandfather.
He was pale with worry.
'Did she come down from there?'
No wonder she suddenly appeared.
It was the second floor of the banquet hall, so it was higher than the second floor of a general building, but it was no problem for Keira, an experienced and exceptional knight.
'The question is, why did you jump?'
The three clenched their fists in tension.
She must have accidentally overheard their conversation and jumped down in anger.
"M-my lady. Please listen to us."
"We're here because– My lady?"
Keira strode past them without uttering a single word.
Her feet, visible under the hem of her dress, were bare. She seemed to have thrown off her shoes before jumping off the balcony.
Gulp. Someone swallowed loudly. Keira's voice then rang out.
Keira: "Why… Why are you here?"
Keira's gaze was directed into the pavilion where a man and a woman were passionately entangled.
"Ah, wait– Honey, I think someone's here…"
"Tell them to go."
"No, hold on. Hold on. I think they know you…"
Before the woman could finish speaking, Keira grabbed the man by the back of his neck.
Keira: "Didn't you say you have a reading club meeting to attend…?"
Aiden: "M-Miss Kira, what are you doing here–Ack!"
Although Keira recently learned to let loose a little, she was still one of the greatest nobles on the continent. She couldn't be generous in a situation where someone lied to her.
More so if the liar was the man she gave her heart to.
Keira: "Hmm? Answer my question."
"H-how can he answer when you're holding him like that?"
The woman beside Aiden made a desperate excuse. Aiden's face was turning blue from lack of oxygen.
However, when she met Keira's cold eyes, she had no choice but to immediately shut up.
"I-ignore me. Keep going…"
Aiden: "Ack!"
The woman quickly stepped back. Even when Aiden stared at her with a resentful glance, she couldn't help it.
'I only have one life, too.'
Just before Aiden's eyes rolled back into the back of his head, Keira let go of the back of his neck.
He collapsed to the floor and breathed rapidly.
"Huk, heuk! W-what kind of woman is this strong–!"
"That's not important right now."
The knights, who were watching the scene from behind, whispered.
'Hey, what's going on here?'
'Well. Fortunately, it worked out well.'
'We just have to stay put, right?'
Unfortunately for them, however, they were not allowed to stay put.
It was all because Keira, who was fumbling around her waist as if looking for a sword, realized she was wearing a dress and instead raised her fist.
Reina rushed in and held her back.
Reina: "No, you can't beat him up, Your Ladyship! Untrained men are weaker than you think!"
"I-if Your Ladyship hits him hard, he might die!"
And it wasn't an exaggeration. If a trained knight hits a civilian with all their might, the civilian might really die.
Even if she came from the Parvis family, people would still talk if she killed someone from a noble house.
Keira: "Huu…"
Let's hear his explanation first.
Staring at Aiden, who was still on the dirt floor, Keira said.
Keira: "Give me a plausible excuse, Aiden Castro."
Truthfully, not a shred of hope had been extinguished.
Maybe the meeting with his friends was cancelled, or that he had nothing to do with that woman.
Was there a complicated situation she wasn't aware of?
Unfortunately, Aiden made the worst choice.
'L-ladyship? Did they just call her Your Ladyship?'
There were about four women in this country who could be addressed as 'Your Ladyship.'
But there was only one woman Aiden had never met before.
Plus, only one woman had the strength to manhandle adult men like that.
The only Lady who fit the bill was the elusive Lady of the Parvis family, a skilled knight.
'Damn it, damn it, damn it!'
He prayed that Kira wasn't an extended member of the Imperial family. While his wish come true, the problem now was that she was more terrifying than an extended member of the Imperial family.
But it's not like there's no way out.
Thinking hard, Aiden replied.
Aiden: "I-I don't know why you're asking me to explain myself, Lady."
Keira: "What?"
Aiden: "The meeting was canceled, so I accepted the Marquis' invitation. Because of that, I ended up unintentionally deceiving Lady, but is that enough of a reason to push people like this?"
He acted as if he was treated unjustly.
That attitude made Keira recall terrible memories.
The memory of a certain someone whose specialty was pretending to be good and just.
She ground her teeth in frustration.
Keira: "Who's the woman you're with, then?"
Aiden: "My partner, of course!"
Keira: "She doesn't look like a simple partner."
If she hadn't shown up, they'd be on the verge of doing something that mere friends wouldn't do.
Keira knew he would make excuses.
That it was a misunderstanding, that it wasn't what she imagined, things like that.
But the absurd remarks that came out of his mouth were beyond her wildest dreams.
Aiden: "Y-your Ladyship, you sound like we're dating."
Aiden: "Someone might misunderstand."
No matter how new to dating she was, she knew that her meeting with Aiden wasn't having a meal together.
She couldn't fathom why he was playing dumb.
But it was one thing to realize the truth and another to be ashamed of it.
Reina, who was holding onto Keira's arms to stop killing the snake, moved away from Keira.
Reina: "On second thought, I think you can hit him a few times, Your Ladyship."
Arthur: "I agree."
It would be annoying if he died, so hit until he's only close to dying. Arthur whispered something that.
Keira also agreed with them.
Violence was the only way to deal with a son of a bitch.
With her fists clenched, she took a step toward Aiden. His face turned noticeably blue.
Aiden: "No, wait a minute?! Wait a minute, Lady! Is there anyone here? Save me! Fire! Fire! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
If she killed him, they'd have a hard time cleaning up.
It would only further hurt her pride if a piece of garbage ruined her life.
So, I'll let you live.
Keira pulled his weight from the ground and threw him with all her might.
Aiden: "Keuk!"
There was a sound of a heavy object falling, and a scream soon followed. After that, it was silent. The snake most likely fainted, and hopefully he had a few broken bones.
Keira stared for a moment at the place she had thrown him, then turned around.
Arthur followed her and said.
Arthur: "He won't die if we leave him like that, right?"
Keira: "The woman who ran away, she was hiding behind a rock over there. I'm sure she'll take care of it."
Arthur: "That's a relief. Um… are you okay with that?"
Keira: "Why wouldn't I be?"
Her eyes were red.
Fortunately, Arthur and Reina knew how to read the situation. The two pretended not to see anything and followed Keira back to the banquet hall.
Then they ran into Joseph, who was in a rush to go outside.
When he spotted them, he froze.
Joseph: "Y…your Ladyship? D-did something happen?"
As he spoke, Arthur and Reina tried to desperately send him a signal.
'No! Shut up!'
'Don't ask! Don't ask! Don't ask!'
Joseph immediately shut up.
Keira then murmured in a small voice.
Keira: "I… I left my shoes on the terrace."

Interview with "Smarter Bombs" Author Anat Berko
by Abigail R. Esman
Special to IPT News
https://www.investigativeproject.org/7595/anat-berko-interview
Anat Berko began her career researching the phenomenon of suicide terrorism while still fulfilling her military career in Israel – a career that saw her rise to the rank of lieutenant colonel. The daughter of Iraqi Jews who escaped to Israel as refugees, she since has become one of the foremost experts on the subject, advising NATO, the U.S. State Department, the FBI, Israel's National Security Council, and others. As a result of her remarkable work, including courageous interviews with would-be terrorists and women who have aided suicide bombers, President Benjamin Netanyahu invited her to run on Likkud's ticket. She was elected to the Knesset in 2015.
The Smarter Bomb: Women and Children as Suicide Bombers is her second book, first published in 2012. She continues to share her knowledge and research through articles, consulting, and her work with various organizations worldwide.
Note: To read Abigail R. Esman's review of The Smarter Bomb, click here.
Abigail R. Esman: What inspired you to write this book?
Anat Berko: I started before the book, more than 20 years ago, with research for my dissertation, which was about the moral judgment of suicide bombers. If you remember in the 1990s there were a lot of suicide bombing attacks in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem – everywhere. It was like a hurricane of terror. So soon after that, I wrote Path to Paradise, which also included an interview with the founder of the Hamas organization. They called him the "spiritual leader," but I am sure that you know he was not just a spiritual leader – there is nothing like that, because this "spiritual leader" caused death and gave justification for murder and death. That's not spiritual. It's very, very physical.
And so after that I decided to deal with women and children because I felt that the next wave would be women. It had started already, but it was not yet a deep phenomenon. But I felt that the smarter bomb – the woman is the smarter bomb, she is more useful as a bomb, as a killer. And as you see right now, the she-bomber is very useful and very effective.
ARE: You dealt with these women as women, though, not as terrorists. When you read the book, there's a sense of you having real compassion for them.
AB: I felt that I must do that, to isolate my feelings and to be emotionally detached, socially – to use empathy as a tool. I even put that as a chapter, because to be able to empathize is a tool, to investigate in such a deep way, and I think because of that I got all that insight that could be so effective – also to be able to see forward to the future. And it helped to make the book something useful not just on the academic level but also for the practitioners. I am both in my work, so I see how it can be useful with, say, psychological warfare, or how men and women and youth can blow themselves up and kill in such a way and have the moral justification from Islamists, how they picture what is waiting for them in Paradise. For us that is something we cannot understand. Do they really, really believe they will meet with the virgins, and what the women are getting there?
To me, the women are victims of their own society, of Palestinian society, victims and victimizers. The punishment in their own society pushes them to terrorism. You can see right now the European women who convert to Islam like Muriel Degauque, with her blond hair and green eyes. She was the first to do it. And that is much more dangerous because you cannot have profiling here – so she is much more effective.
Also there is an attitude in crime and security: if I go out with my husband, everyone will ask at the mall or movie, do you have a weapon? But no one will ask me. But actually I could have a pistol in my purse. So this is a way that women are not suspected like men. They don't think of a pregnant woman who could have a bomb on her stomach, or a weapon and a baby, like car bombs with babies inside a car –we've seen that in Iraq.
ARE: Was it a problem to go into the prisons?
AB: I got a special permission – that everything is according to the ethics of conducting research. It was long before I was a Knesset member. So I applied for permission and there was no politics in this issue – it was pure research.
But what is interesting is some practical implications from this, not just the book, but if you read the articles I've written about jihad tourism, the research you get from the inside world, is so important to understand. We are in the West – even Israel, we are not in the West but we can say as people we do not understand the way of thinking and the rationale for conducting terrorism. As Jews, Christians, with Judeo-Christian values, they can use women and children, you see it on Gaza Strip and elsewhere, like Lebanon. Everything that started with Israel never stopped in Israel. So you can learn a lot from what is going on inside Israel.
ARE: Do you feel that Palestinian women are motivated to commit terrorist acts for reasons that have nothing specifically to do with Israel?
AB: Sure. Even one told me to be a shaheed, a suicide killer, it is a good solution to problems. And for women, everything related to so-called moral problems, things related to wedlock relations, even just suspicion of having an affair, instead of being killed – I don't like this term but they call it "honor killings" – they have the idea not to humiliate the family but to give respect and honor, to be a shaheed and give respect in this way. One journalist I spoke with said they call them in Arabic "shamuta" – whore. It is better to be a shaheed than a shamuta.
ARE: That's the sense I had from the book. Palestinian men want to kill Israelis; but from reading the book I have the feeling that it's not true for the women.
AB: Yes. For men it is ideology. For the women it is to solve a problem. Or for the men they think their sexual experience will be in Paradise. This is also solving a problem. For a society when they suppress sexuality, everything is shame, and it's shame and guilt and especially around sexuality, so they cannot behave in a free way, and when we're thinking about the youth in terrorism, the description is that everything that is forbidden in this world is allowed in Paradise. They want to have beer. Sex. For women the virginity that is necessary in the real world is not in Paradise.
On the one hand, they hate the West, but the dream is to live like the West in Paradise.
ARE: On a wider scale: do you feel like we are making progress?
AB: (sighs loudly): Progress in counterterrorism?
I think that the world understands much more right now, but I feel like – not really. Because you cannot appease those terrorists or the people who support those terrorists. I think we need to put this PC aside, and look at reality as we used to look without PC. Some people use propaganda against you, just say that. You don't need to hide that. It's very important to know and to put everything on the table. Without recognizing it, you cannot defend against it. And you also have cyber terrorism, like social media, which helps them to operate and coordinate and it's very difficult to combat it but we need to do it, and we need to demand that the giants of social media prevent it, to protect innocent people and civilians, who want to live.
ARE: Specifically for women and children, what can we do?
AB: Not allow polygamy and women trafficking, cheap dowry, isolating women, because even in the West and in Israel, you find polygamy – it's forbidden but they use sharia law. And abusing women – let's say someone has four women and 60 children – nobody understands that this causes damage to the women and children.
Also to end child marriage. People cover their eyes and say "this is the culture. Let them do that." No, you cannot let them do that. A 14-year-old girl is a girl; she cannot be a bride. It is not allowed by your law [in the West] – so please, impose it. To understand what are women in the family, what are males in the family – how it is different to have a brother and sister, what are their relations. One thing women told me, in Paradise she can choose her husband. Can you believe that? Or that if her husband is an abuser, he will go to hell and she will go to Paradise. These are what they think.
And this is another distinction: not to look at women as birth-machines but as women, humans, with dignity, with life, with an ideal to fulfill themselves.

Fresh fruits and vegetables – speciality items – who doesn't love the sight of Farmers Markets.
Today – May 29th – the Lexington Farmers Market opened for its 8th season to the sounds of music and tap dancing.
The market will be open on Tuesdays through October from 2pm to 5:30pm at the corner of Mass Ave and Woburn Street.
Lexington's Farmers' Market will open for its 8th season this afternoon with music (Lexington Fife & Drum……) and tap dancing.
And this is only the beginning. It is only a few short weeks before Billerica's Farmers Market opens for its 2nd straight year on Monday, June 25th, from 3pm to 7pm on the grounds of the Senior Center right in Billerica Center (www.billericafarmersmarket.org). Can taste the fresh fish and more that will be available.

I recently held a meeting with a number of the officers of the Supporters' Trust prior to the Swindon game on January 14, which generally speaking was constructive, but I did question the wisdom of their questions and comments to the EFL and what benefits they would bring to the club.
That said, I do respect their independence but have to question the logic of their approach at this particular time in the middle of a transfer window.
We agreed to have further regular meetings, which hopefully will bring benefits to everyone in the medium to long term. In the short term, I hope they will find ways to work with us on the Academy, which brings benefits to the club and community.
I also met with Alan Houghton from the Supporters' Association, who gave me a great deal of information about the past and how he thinks we can work together and I very much look forward to our future meetings.
With just over a week to go before the transfer window closes, a great deal of work has been going on behind the scenes and the manager and our recruitment team have been actively talking to a number of players/agents and other clubs.
We have also had interest from other clubs/agents about several of our players, but these have all been rebuked.
I hope to be able to update you later this week and in my programme notes for the Charlton match this coming Saturday, where hopefully there will be another large turn out as we enter the second part of the season.
You may have read the comments from Middlesbrough's and Liverpool's managers this weekend about the benefits of the home supporters singing and cheering. I cannot thank you often enough to emphasise just how much this lifts and encourages the team, and long may this continue.
The Super 7 season ticket meanwhile goes on sale next Monday and I hope as many supporters as possible take advantage of this great deal to bolster our support at Macron Stadium for the remainder of the campaign.
Elsewhere, Sammy Ameobi came off the bench for Newcastle United on Saturday for the last 15 minutes.
We haven't given up hope of him coming back if Newcastle do manage to bring in the players they are targeting or their African Cup of Nations players return early. We are watching matters there carefully.
One good thing from our point of view is that Sammy cannot play anywhere else this season now as he has figured for two clubs.
It was disappointing that Saturday's game at Southend United was called off, more so for all our excellent travelling supporters who had made their way down to Roots Hall. Our backing on the road has been nothing short of phenomenal.
I also noted an article in The Sun on Sunday which speculated about an imminent sale of the stadium and hotel. Well, much like their claim about a Saudi takeover a while back, this article is also completely false.
I would like to reassure you that any official news about the club will be released to our fans first via our own channels.
There was a slight delay in staff receiving their salaries this month due to some restructuring. Going forward, everybody will be paid at the end of each month which is standard practice.
I look forward to seeing you all at Macron Stadium this Saturday.


There are an estimated 75 million dogs in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 4.7 million Americans are bitten by dogs each year. Of those dog bites, about 800,000 cause serious injuries that require medical attention. Approximately, 1000 people visit hospital emergency rooms each day due to dog bites. Unfortunately, the majority of dog bite victims are children, half of which are bitten in the face. Dog bites account for the fifth most common reason for children visiting hospital emergency rooms.

Over 40 percent of dog owners acquired their pets mainly for protection. Dogs from breeds like German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers and Mastiffs—some of the most dangerous dog breeds.
Children are more likely to be attacked by dogs because of their size. Most dog breeds are instinctually inhibited from attacking someone larger than the dog itself. There is a noticeable exception to this general rule. That is the Pit Bull. Pit Bulls are one breed that statistically attack adults as often as children.
Note: This doesn't mean other breeds are by definition less dangerous. Many other breeds have much more propensity for biting, however, simply due to their size, they are not likely to be involved in a lethal attack. Many bites by smaller breeds are not even reported.

Florida law has developed from one of general negligence, i.e. a dog bite victim used to have to show that the owner was somehow negligent in their control of the dog, to a more strict theory of liability for owners of dogs. Florida dog owners are now automatically liable for harms or damages caused by their dogs.
767.04- Dog owner's liability for damages to persons bitten.—The owner of any dog that bites any person while such person is on or in a public place, or lawfully on or in a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog, is liable for damages suffered by persons bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owners' knowledge of such viciousness. However, any negligence on the part of the person bitten that is a proximate cause of the biting incident reduces the liability of the owner of the dog by the percentage that the bitten person's negligence contributed to the biting incident. A person is lawfully upon private property of such owner within the meaning of this act when the person is on such property in the performance of any duty imposed upon him or her by the laws of this state or by the laws or postal regulations of the United States, or when the person is on such property upon invitation, expressed or implied, of the owner. However, the owner is not liable, except as to a person under the age of 6, or unless the damages are proximately caused by a negligent act or omission of the owner, if at the time of any such injury the owner had displayed in a prominent place on his or her premises a sign easily readable including the words "Bad dog." The remedy provided by this section is in addition to and cumulative with any other remedy provided by statute or common law.
Most experts agree that the majority of dog bites can be avoided, especially dog bites to children. According to the Centers for Disease Control, most dog bites are preventable. There are certain things that potential dog bite victims should not do in order to lessen the likelihood of being bit by a dog. Also, there certain things that owners should do, in order to prevent dog bites.
Do not run from a dog and scream. You want to be boring and not engage the dog.
Do not pet a dog that appears sick or injured.
If knocked over by a dog, roll into a ball and lie still (e.g., "like the drill for a tornado with your arms protecting your head").
Use caution when bringing a dog into the home of an infant or toddler.
Do not play aggressive games with your dog (e.g., wrestling) as such teaches bad habits and bad behavior.
Teach the dog submissive behaviors (e.g., rolling over to expose abdomen and relinquishing food without growling).
For more information about prevention of dog bites and model polices for the control of dangerous dogs, see the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Task Force on Canine Aggression and Human-Canine Interactions: A community approach to dog bite prevention.
Take it seriously, no matter what the degree of injury. Keep all of the medical records regarding the treatment for the injury.
Take photographs of the injuries, including for days or weeks after the attack.
Do all that you can to safely identify both the dog and its owner.
Write down all relevant information about the attack: the date/time, location, circumstances, witnesses' information.

Ancient Village of Akori – Where Noah Planted a Willow
August 8, 2018Antiquities, HistoryComments: 2
The Akori settlement is situated on the northeastern slope of Masis, otherwise known as Greater Ararat. Now, this area is occupied by Iğdır Province of Turkey. An ancient legend recounts that after the Great Flood, Noah planted a willow tree ("uri" or "ureni" in Armenian) on the site of the village. The historic name of the settlement is believed to have been "Akhuri", which derived from the Armenian word for "willow."
This village was first mentioned in the 5th century by Armenian chronicler and historian Ghazar Parpetsi.
4.5 kilometers from the village stood the famous monastery of Saint James (also Saint Hakob), which is believed to have held a wood fragment of Noah's Ark. The monastery was also known for its sacred springs generating waters with healing powers.
According to a tradition, the monastic complex was built on the site where an angel had handed a fragment of Noah's Ark to Saint James of Nisibis. Saint James of Nisibis was a 4th-century Syriac bishop and a Christian missionary in Armenia. The Armenian Apostolic Church venerates Saint James as a saint. Interestingly, James of Nisibis is the first person known to have attempted to climb up Mount Ararat to find the wreckage of Noah's Ark.
The village of Akori and the Saint James Monastery both were ruined in a devastating earthquake on July 2, 1840. Nothing managed to survive, except for cemetery khachkars (cross-stones) in the monastery. Those khachkars stand even today. Prior to the disaster, Akori was quite a big village, housing about 2,200 people, most of them Armenians.
In 1829, Baltic German explorer, mountaineer, and naturalist Friedrich Parrot along with Armenian writer Khachatur Abovyan lead an expedition towards the peak of Mount Ararat. In his memoirs, Parrot describes Akori as a prosperous, cozy, and hospitable place. In fact, Parrot's group made its first stop near the Saint James Monastery.
At the site of the village of Akori now stands the Kurdish-populated Yenidoğan village. Shortly after the destruction of the original Akori, a village named New Akori would be built on its spot. In 1965, New Ahori was renamed Yenidoğan.
