Alqaeda Terrorist from Falls Church, Virginia sentenced to life in prison
Washington Examiner ^ | July 28, 2009 | Maria Schmitt
Posted on 07/27/2009 7:54:21 PM PDT by HokieMom
Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, a Falls Church man and a member of al Qaeda who admitted he was planning to assassinate then-President George W. Bush, was sentenced to life in prison Monday at federal court in Alexandria.
Abu Ali was originally sentenced in 2005 to 30 years in prison.
U.S. Judge Gerald Bruce Lee of the U.S. District Court for eastern Virginia ruled Monday that Abu Ali should spend life in prison partially because he never renounced his al Qaeda ties.
After the initial sentencing, both sides filed appeals. Abu Ali completed some of his sentence in solitary confinement at a Supermax prison in Colorado, where, his lawyers said, he suffered from physical and mental trauma.
Abu Ali's lawyers, Ashraf Nubani of McLean and Joshua L. Dratel of New York, argued the original sentence was too harsh.
U.S. attorneys argued that Abu Ali's sentence was not long enough, given he "knowingly and willfully committed extremely serious offenses jeopardizing the national security of the United States," a government statement says. "Given the nature of the defendant's offense and the intended consequences, the government submits that few cases present a more compelling argument for a life sentence."
The 28-year-old was born in Houston, lived most of his life in Alexandria, graduated valedictorian from the Islamic Saudi Academy in Fairfax County and planned on joining al Qaeda for years, court documents show.
He finally joined the group while in Saudi Arabia in 2002.
" 'It was decided that I would go [to the United States] and live a normal life [overtly] to keep attention away from me, marry a Christian woman, and at the same time I would prepare as best I could for operations,' " Abu Ali said in his written confession.
He emulated Mohammed Atta and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, key players in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the documents show. While in prison, Abu Ali requested "The Audacity of Hope" and "Dreams of My Father," both books by then-Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, but was refused them.
A Bureau of Prisons notification states " ... the referenced pages contain information which have been determined to be potentially detrimental to national security," according to court documents.

in 2002 and 2003 Abu Ali and an unidentified coconspirator [ZUBAYR AL-RIMI aka SULTAN JUBRAN SULTAN AL-QAHTANI] discussed plans for Abu Ali to assassinate Bush. They discussed two scenarios, the indictment said, one in which Abu Ali "would get close enough to the president to shoot him on the street" and, alternatively, "an operation in which Abu Ali would detonate a car bomb."

Jared Kushner's family real estate empire is sued for the THIRD time by tenants who say his company inflated rent prices illegally
Tenants of a second building owned by the company of Jared Kushner's family filed a lawsuit Tuesday over rent that they say is inflated illegally
Lawsuit was filed in state Supreme Court in Brooklyn by six residents at 18 Sidney Place in Brooklyn
Current and former tenants allege that Kushner Cos. is charging much higher free-market rent, rather than the rent-stabilized rate required by law
The case follows a lawsuit filed in August by nine residents of another Kushner building in Brooklyn
The Kushner Cos. was sued in September by two tenants of Maryland properties alleging that it had charged them illegal fees

Tenants of a second building owned by the company of Jared Kushner's (seen above in Washington, DC on Monday) family filed a lawsuit over rent that is 'inflated illegally'
Tenants of a second building owned by the company of Jared Kushner's family filed a lawsuit Tuesday over rent that they say is inflated illegally.
The lawsuit in state Supreme Court in Brooklyn was filed by six residents at 18 Sidney Place in Brooklyn and alleges that Kushner Cos. is charging much higher free-market rent, rather than the rent-stabilized rate required by law.
The Kushner Cos. said it has done nothing wrong.
'We've reviewed the lawsuit and believe it is without merit and that we have complied with all rent regulations applicable to the apartments,' said spokeswoman Christine Taylor.
The case follows a lawsuit filed in August by nine residents of another Kushner building in Brooklyn.
Both cases were filed the law firm Newman Ferrara. The firm is seeking class action status for both cases.
Jared Kushner stepped down as CEO of the Kushner Cos. earlier this year before he became a senior adviser to his father-in-law, President Donald Trump.
He has divested from many properties in his portfolio, but still owns both the buildings at the center of the two lawsuits, according to his latest financial disclosure reports filed with federal ethics officials.
EXCLUSIVE: 'I'm willing to pay....a lot.' Bombshell text... He's no sugar daddy! Sean Penn, 57, takes Leila George, 25,...
The lawsuit on Tuesday alleges that tenants at all the units at 18 Sidney Place should have been charged rent-stabilized rates.
It alleges that there are probably more than 75 former and current residents who were charged too much in the nearly four years since Kushner Cos. bought the building.
The lawsuit in state Supreme Court in Brooklyn filed by six residents at 18 Sidney Place (second from left) in Brooklyn alleges that Kushner Cos. is charging much higher free-market rent, rather than the rent-stabilized rate required by law
Housing Rights Initiative, the nonprofit tenant advocacy group that is behind both Tuesday's lawsuit and the earlier one, put out a press release saying the Kushner Cos. has 'brazenly and systematically' exploited tenants, and called for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to open an investigation into dozens of its buildings.
Apartments at 18 Sidney Place had been temporarily exempt from rent stabilization laws under its previous owner, the Brooklyn Law School, according to the lawsuit.
Under state rules, certain landlords who don't rent to the public but use units to house employees or students can apply for exemptions.
Several residents of 89 Hicks Street in Brooklyn (above), a building owned by the Kushner Cos., filed a lawsuit alleging the business once run by Kushner is charging too much rent in violation of state regulations
The Kushners bought the building in February 2014 and listed units to rent by the public, but they failed to inform tenants that they were entitled to lower rent-stabilization rents, the lawsuit alleges.
The company has also drawn scrutiny for its management of multifamily apartments.
In October, it confirmed that it is cooperating with a request from the Maryland attorney general for information about its operations in the state following media reports critical of its treatment of tenants at apartments it owns there.
The Kushner Cos. was sued in September by two tenants of Maryland properties alleging that it had charged them illegal fees.
The company had denied the charges and said it will fight the lawsuit.
The Kushner Cos. has been on a buying spree in recent years, including several buildings in Brooklyn.
The company says it has struck more than $2billion in deals in two years.

Episcopal bishops appeal to President Trump on DACA in New York Times ad
Updated Sep 28, 2017 ; Posted Sep 28, 2017
Supporters of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program (DACA) demonstrate on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House in Washington, Saturday, Sept. 9, 2017. President Donald Trump ordered and end of protections for young immigrants who were brought into the country illegally as children, but gave Congress six months to act on it. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
By Anne-Gerard Flynn | Special to The Republican
The Right Rev. Douglas J. Fisher, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts, is among the more than 135 Episcopal bishops in this country and abroad to sign a full-page ad in the form of a letter to President Donald Trump and Congress that ran in the Sept. 21 issue of the New York Times saying as Episcopal bishops we "implore you not to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA."
Trump has moved to rescind the program, instituted by executive order under President Barack Obama in 2012, that allows some 800,000 young people brought to the United States illegally as children to remain here without fear of deportation and be able to work and pursue an education. Trump announced Sept. 5 he will end the program unless Congress agrees to enact it into law within six months.
"We urge you to enact permanent, meaningful legislation that will protect 'Dreamers' and enable these young people to remain a part of our country--which is also theirs," the ad reads.
It calls ending the program "unfair," saying to do so "would endanger the lives of thousands of young people and their families and run contrary to the faith and moral
traditions of our country."
"It is unfair to threaten the well-being of young people who arrived in our country as children through no choice of their own," the letter reads.
"Ending DACA without a similar replacement program will force these young people to face the future in this country with little access to education and employment, and ultimately, could very well lead to sending them to countries where they did not grow up, have few support structures, may not even speak the language and may be vulnerable to violence and persecution."
It adds, "Any of these scenarios, we believe, is cruel."
"The alternative for us as a country," the letter states, "is to move forward, to celebrate and benefit from the presence of these 'Dreamers' and to provide a pathway to citizenship that enables them to remain and strengthen our country."
Other commonwealth bishops among the signatories are Massachusetts Bishop Alan M. Gates, and Massachusetts Bishop Suffragan Gayle E. Harris, as well as retired Massachusetts Bishop Suffragan Bud Cederholm, and retired Western Massachusetts Bishop Gordon P. Scruton.
Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop and Primate Michael B. Curry, who is scheduled to visit Springfield to celebrate morning liturgy and evensong Oct. 15 at Christ Church Cathedral as part of the church's 200th anniversary, and who recently presided over the bishops' fall meeting in Alaska, leads the list of signatories.
The DACA program gives protection from deportation to unauthorized immigrants who entered the country before the age of 16 and are age 30 or under, resided here continuously since June of 2007, and committed no serious offenses and pose no threat to public safety.
Efforts to pass legislation to give permanent status to these immigrants dates back to the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act introduced in 2001.
A bill came closest to passage in 2010 when the House of Representatives passed the bill and the Senate came five votes short of the 60 Senators needed to proceed to vote on the bill.
Current DACA beneficiaries whose status is due to expire before March 5, 2018 are permitted to renew their status for an additional two years if they apply by Oct. 5. Any person for whom DACA expires as of March 6, 2018, will no longer have deferred action or employment authorization.
Recent polls have shown Americans to support a right to residency for these undocumented immigrants.

Maine is struggling getting their recreational marijuana program started, mostly because their governor is biased against cannabis. However, recreational marijuana was approved by voters and so there is little he can do to stop it. Actually, one deadline has come and gone as part of the new legislation which impacts any employer that wants to avoid hiring marijuana users.
In other states that have legalized marijuana, discrimination towards cannabis users applying for jobs is still permissible. In Florida, where there is generally thought to be a popular medical marijuana program, one of its major faults is that even medical marijuana patients can still lose their jobs or net get hired if they test positive for marijuana.
Rules that do not allow people to get high while at work make sense, but employers keeping medical marijuana patients from ever finding relief even during after hours is questionable. Governor Paul LePage of Maine has no choice but to follow the law, so the legal marijuana market in Maine is far from perfect. This law makes a lot of sense though, doesn't it?

Body-worn cameras associated with increased assaults against police, and increase in use-of-force if officers choose when to activate cameras
Preliminary results from eight UK and US police forces reveal rates of assault against officers are 15% higher when they use body-worn cameras. The latest findings, from one of the largest randomised-controlled trials in criminal justice research, highlight the need for cameras to be kept on and recording at all stages of police-public interaction – not just when an individual officer deems it necessary – if police use-of-force and assaults against police are to be reduced.
It may be that in some places it's a bad idea to use body-worn cameras, and the only way you can find that out is to keep doing these tests in different kinds of places
Barak Ariel
New evidence from the largest-yet series of experiments on use of body-worn cameras by police has revealed that rates of assault against police by members of the public actually increased when officers wore the cameras.
The research also found that on average across all officer-hours studied, and contrary to current thinking, the rate of use-of-force by police on citizens was unchanged by the presence of body-worn cameras, but a deeper analysis of the data showed that this finding varied depending on whether or not officers chose when to turn cameras on.
If officers turned cameras on and off during their shift then use-of-force increased, whereas if they kept the cameras rolling for their whole shift, use-of-force decreased.
The findings are released today across two articles published in the European Journal of Criminology and the Journal of Experimental Criminology.
While researchers describe these findings as unexpected, they also urge caution as the work is ongoing, and say these early results demand further scrutiny. However, gathering evidence for what works in policing is vital, they say.
"At present, there is a worldwide uncontrolled social experiment taking place – underpinned by feverish public debate and billions of dollars of government expenditure. Robust evidence is only just keeping pace with the adoption of new technology," write criminologists from the University of Cambridge and RAND Europe, who conducted the study.
For the latest findings, researchers worked with eight police forces across the UK and US – including West Midlands, Cambridgeshire and Northern Ireland's PSNI, as well as Ventura, California and Rialto, California PDs in the United States – to conduct ten randomised-controlled trials.
Over the ten trials, the research team found that rates of assault against officers wearing cameras on their shift were an average of 15% higher, compared to shifts without cameras.
The researchers say this could be due to officers feeling more able to report assaults once they are captured on camera – providing them the impetus and/or confidence to do so.
The monitoring by camera also may make officers less assertive and more vulnerable to assault. However, they point out these are just possible explanations, and much more work is needed to unpick the reasons behind these surprising findings.
In the experimental design, the shift patterns of 2,122 participating officers across the forces were split at random between those allocated a camera and those without a camera. A total of 2.2 million officer-hours policing a total population of more than 2 million citizens were covered in the study.
The researchers set out a protocol for officers allocated cameras during the trials: record all stages of every police-public interaction, and issue a warning of filming at the outset. However, many officers preferred to use their discretion, activating cameras depending on the situation.
Researchers found that during shifts with cameras in which officers stuck closer to the protocol, police use-of-force fell by 37% over camera-free shifts. During shifts in which officers tended to use their discretion, police use-of-force actually rose 71% over camera-free shifts.
"The combination of the camera plus the early warning creates awareness that the encounter is being filmed, modifying the behaviour of all involved," said principal investigator Barak Ariel from the University of Cambridge's Institute of Criminology.
"If an officer decides to announce mid-interaction they are beginning to film, for example, that could provoke a reaction that results in use-of-force," Ariel said. "Our data suggests this could be what is driving the results."
The new results are the latest to come from the research team since their ground-breaking work reporting the first experimental evidence on body-worn cameras with Rialto PD in California – a study widely-cited as part of the rationale for huge investment in this policing technology.
"With so much at stake, these findings must continue to be scrutinised through further research and more studies. In the meantime, it's clear that more training and engagement with police officers are required to ensure they are confident in the decisions they make while wearing cameras, and are safe in their job," said co-author and RAND Europe researcher Alex Sutherland.
Ariel added, "It may be that in some places it's a bad idea to use body-worn cameras, and the only way you can find that out is to keep doing these tests in different kinds of places. After all, what might work for a sheriff's department in Iowa may not necessarily apply to the Tokyo PD."

Danedesta, 28 Aug 2010Ihave it too. It is very good phoneWhat about the battery life? B/cos I used one in d past but it's battery life was very short.
Danedesta, 28 Aug 2010Ihave it too. It is very good phoneWhat about the battery life? B/cos I used one in d past but it's battery life was very low.
Yes, it's very good and strong, I've use it for 7 years, can you believe?
But the battery power leaks too quickly, I have to recharge it nearly everyday.
that phone rules!!!. i use that for 4 years... and a day... it's die T_T. but, is a really good phone.
Very good phone,i had one for about 2-3 years, the bad part is the battery. 600 mAh is too low and it wears off very quick. it should have 800 mah at least.
My Mother Frank, 03 Jul 2009I had had this phone as my first phone! Hmm but the battery got old by the years, so my parent... moreyour right, Ive been using my cv65 for nearly 5 years and i still love it. battery does go flat quite quickly though. Its the only mobilr ive ever owned and still no plans to replace it.
I am using this phone right now and it is not actually that bad except the battery life is kind of short.
bought this for $20, with the DCA510 cable. after some Vklay-ing, now the phone has 14MB memory, run Opera Mini 5 beta flawlessly, and play full song track after converting it to IMA ADPCM 8Khz. The keypad is good for fast texters like me, except the small "2" that gets too close to the Wap key. Cons including the battery life, but overall, I recommend this phone.
this is all the person who think they are professionist in gsm. this phone has came out in 2004. in that year the goodest phone was sony ericsson k300i, wich isn't so different. the only difference is becaue k330i has mp3. but for that year this was a good phone, trust me..
I had had this phone as my first phone! Hmm but the battery got old by the years, so my parents gave me one of these new touch phones, in birthday present, with all kinds of stuff inside..
But it is not the same, I'm still so in love with my old blue siemens!!! And I think everyone, there had had this mobil for a while will agree with me..!
to compare with the latest phones right now, this phone is a good one!
Nice shots, with a good memory..
It is one of the earliest phones that allowed many to buy a phone featuring GPRS at an affordable price. The menu system is very friendly. Unfortunately, it is plagued with horrible bugs that most users were dissatisfied and moved onto some other set.
i) Hangs when searching names in sub category of address book.
ii) Poor rendering of web pages on screen.
iii) Very low battery life.
iv) Auto shutdown, as battery easily gets displaced.
Although, its production is discontinued but it did provide some sweet times for those first generation buyers.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University men's basketball coach Tom Crean has suspended indefinitely junior guard Devan Dumes for his actions during Saturday's game at Michigan State.
Dumes will not play when IU visits Minnesota on Tuesday night.
Dumes will continue to practice and travel with the team.
I don't have much to add beyond what I wrote after the game last night, but this is a situation that Crean had to squash immediately. I like the proactive approach instead of waiting for the Big Ten to review the game and then impose a penalty. Crean's reaction to the footage was apparently in line with the sentiments echoed by many of you last night: the elbows were not inadvertent. As far as Dumes goes, let's hope the apology is sincere and he learns to play under control and keeps his emotions in check going forward.
Great response from Crean, and a good statement from Dumes as well. As Alex says, let's hope the apology is sincere, and maybe a game or two will be sufficient to rein Dumes in. To me, there are two things to remember: first (as some have pointed out), Dumes is still a kid, and though he's a transfer, he still doesn't have the experience to deal with the pressure, the higher level of play, or the losing. OTOH, IU and its fans have very different expectations for this team than any team in any season in any sport I've supported. We don't expect great play, we don't expect winning (thank God); we expect character, hard work, commitment, and doing all of it the right way. Hopefully Dumes can get back to the things we expect from him; if he can't, we can certainly continue this unique season without his points.
Let's hope Dumes (& the team) learn by this and move forward.
p.s.There will be no dessert at the training table until behavior improves.
Silky…interesting question…….Not sure what the hell is the source of anger, frustration for Dumes with these elbows? It makes no sense, given the kid had been playing lightsout basketball…..why not build on the momentum.
Nice to see good judgement prevail.
Alot of folks wanted 5 games or scholarship revoked etc. I see no reason to suspend him more than McClinton or Harris were for brutal contact they made. I saw S CUrry throw an elbow Saturday w a no call but he is not suspended.
Nice statement from Dumes. The only way to see if he means it is to………PLAY HIM.
Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Coach Crean needs to set a tone of discipline right now, and he passed his first test with flying colors. This isn't Memphis or Kentucky and I think Coach Crean just pased his first test with flying colors. This is Indiana, and it sure looks like he wants to make it Indiana again.
More good news, heard Hummel may be out for the year for PU. His back is not doing well………oh to beat PU this year would be historically awesome…..
I would guess he was frustrated with getting 3 early fouls- including the pitiful first offensive call for the phantom elbow. That doesn't excuse him giving a cheap-shot in the crotch, but that is why I be he was PO'd.
I would argue that the actions are part of the characteristic that he has shown (see Craig Moore and others). I truly hopes he can grow from this….
I'd like to beat PU this year too, but I wouldn't call the severity of his injury "good news".
Good point, Kelin, why would he resort to such methods when he is playing so well?
I hope it doesn't knock the train off the track in our team's progress.
However, personally, I would like to beat Purdue at full strength so they don't have any excuses to whine about.
ChitownHoosier, Crean get a A+ in my book on his first pop quiz on tone & execution to set a foundation of integrity for the program. Speaks volumes for IU's future!
Can someone post the video of the elbows on youtube? I missed the entire game and obviously, a whole lot more! If you know it is already posted could you list the link in one of your comments. Thanks.
a great move by crean suspending dumes. i thought during the game he should have sat him on the bench, however, Crean did the right thing by reviewing the tapes and withholding judgement until he could review the evidence. it just shows that Crean takes a hard look at things instead of making a snappy decision.

Trump's pick to head FBI is former DOJ official and Christie lawyer
Assistant Attorney General, Christopher Wray, right, and Director of the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, Mary Beth Buchanan, hold a press conference, Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2005. (AP Photo/Lawrence Jackson)
WASHINGTON (WPVI) -- President Donald Trump says he'll nominate for FBI director a former Justice Department official who also worked as a lawyer for N.J. Gov. Chris Christie.
Trump tweeted that his choice, lawyer Christopher Wray, is "a man of impeccable credentials."
I will be nominating Christopher A. Wray, a man of impeccable credentials, to be the new Director of the FBI. Details to follow.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 7, 2017
Wray emerged from a list of former prosecutors, politicians and law enforcement officials interviewed by Trump since the president fired FBI Director James Comey last month.
Wray works at the King & Spalding law firm.
He represented New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie during the investigation into the George Washington Bridge lane-closing case.
Two former Christie aides were convicted of plotting to close bridge lanes to punish a Democratic mayor who wouldn't endorse the Republican governor.
Wray worked for the Justice Department under President George W. Bush.

Q: Field list in combobox in pyqgis I'm new to pyqgis and I'm tryig to make a combobox with list of fields (from layer also selected in combobox).
    layers = self.iface.legendInterface().layers()
    layer_list = []
    for layer in layers:
        layer_list.append(layer.name())
    self.dlg.comboBox.addItems(layer_list)

    selectedLayerIndex = self.dlg.comboBox.currentIndex()
    selectedLayer = layers[selectedLayerIndex]
    fields = selectedLayer.pendingFields()
    fieldnames = [field.name() for field in fields]
    self.dlg.comboBox_2.addItems(fieldnames)

The problem is, that in second combobox there are fields from first on layerlist layer, not the selected one.

A: Basically, you have to use signals to detect the "change layer" event and update your field combobox accordingly. Here is a simplified example (assuming you already have the run and initGui methods defined):
In run(self):
layers = QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayers().values() # Create list with all layers
# layers = self.iface.legendInterface().layers() might also work
for layer in layers:
    self.dlg.layerComboBox.addItem( layer.name(), layer )

Then, connect the "layer changed" event to a new onLayerChange method, in initGui(self):
self.dlg.layerComboBox.activated.connect( self.onLayerChange )

Then you have to define the onLayerChange(self) method:
def onLayerChange(self, index):

    self.dlg.attributeComboBox.clear() # clears the combobox
    layer = self.dlg.layerComboBox.itemData( index ) # gets selected layer
    for field in layer.pendingFields():
        self.dlg.attributeComboBox.addItem( field.name(), field ) # lists layer fields

Government is boosting funding to the BC Arts Council by $15 million over three years to create new programs that encourage more inclusivity and accessibility in the creative sector, including those that support emerging Indigenous artists.
"B.C. is so fortunate to have an incredibly talented arts and culture community. This new funding will open doors for artists, writers and creators across the province, so they can continue to inspire and engage us all," said Lisa Beare, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture. "Investing in a dynamic creative economy is another way we are helping to build strong, connected communities and make life better in B.C."
With Budget 2019, the Government of B.C. announced an additional $15 million over the next three years to BC Arts Council, bringing its annual budget to $34 million in 2019-20. In addition to new programs, this investment will also enable the council to further build on the funding increase provided in 2018 to enhance the capacity of arts and culture organizations in more than 200 communities.
"Support for artists and arts and cultural organizations is so important," said Susan Jackson, chair, BC Arts Council. "We are pleased to provide arts funding on behalf of the Province to support the sector and to contribute to the vibrancy of communities and regions throughout British Columbia."
The BC Arts Council is the government's lead agency for advancing artistic development as part of a prosperous creative economy. The council awards grants through a peer assessment process that draws upon the expertise of British Columbia's arts and culture community.
Budget 2019 makes the second substantial investment in the BC Arts Council by the B.C. government.
Budget 2018 invested an additional $5 million annually into the council, bringing its total budget from $24 million to $29 million in 2018-19.
The council had previously not had an increase in its budget since 2013.
This new funding supported professional arts organizations, community festivals and programs that promote experimentation and innovation in arts organizations.
The fall round of BC Arts Council grants (September to December 2018) totalled nearly $10.9 million. A total of 397 grants were awarded to artists, museums, book publishers and other arts and culture organizations in more than 200 communities throughout the province.

One of the first words I ever spoke was "ocean." I pronounced it oonda then, and I'd often ask my parents to take me to see the big oonda. As an adult, the first thing I do when I travel to another country is search for water – a coastline, if possible. Standing on quiet Brazilian sands years ago, I realized that even though I was thousands of miles away from my home in Florida, I was home.
The world of language barriers fell away, and I was left with the primal pull of a force so deeply ingrained in me, I knew it before my own name. Sometimes, the quiet is louder than any sound. The sea spoke softly that night, allowing the moon to weave silver in her midnight skin. I knelt down, listening to her gentle murmurs – to the faint music she played across the shore. She whispered of secrets long forgotten…of dreams hidden inside her depths.
The salt water ran cool and gentle over my hand till there was no longer a distinction between the two – till the sea became my own skin. Without a single word, she reminded me that before I ever took my first steps on land, I lived for nine months in the water – that all life on earth descended from her. In the dark calm of a foreign land, I was called back home.
If we listen closely, she calls to us all.
Force of life and death.

Edmonton's public spaces need to be made safer for women and girls, according to a panel discussion about sexual violence held Monday evening.
The panel at Lister Hall preceded the kick off of the United Nations Women's Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces forum in Edmonton Tuesday, where global leaders and experts will explore methods for making public spaces safer for women.
According to the 2018 Vital Signs report by the Edmonton Community Foundation, Edmonton had the second highest rate of sexual assault among major Canadian cities in 2016, second only to Winnipeg. The sexual assault rate in Canada was 58 for every 100,000 people. In Edmonton, it was 72 out of 100,000.
Young, Indigenous and homeless women, along with women with disabilities and women from sexual and gender minorities are most at risk of sexual violence, said Lise Gotell, panellist and professor of women's and gender studies at the University of Alberta.
"Sexual harassment and street harassment specifically as problems have an effect on women … by in effect making a kind of statement that the public sphere is really for men," Gotell said.
"Sexual harassment and street harassment affect women's mobility, create fear, and therefore have an impact on women's equality in relation to men."
In 2016, Edmonton joined the UN's Safe Cities initiative in collaboration with Alberta Status of Women, committing to preventing and responding to sexual violence in public spaces.
Bars and commercial establishments are the most likely setting for a sexual assault, Gotell said. Edmonton's Safe City project will focus on increasing women's safety in those establishments, along with shopping centres, transit stations, college campuses, and parks and streets.
"The street is a kind of ungoverned space," Gotell said.
"If you're subject to sexual harassment that does not involve touching in the street or in a park or in the river valley, there's no recourse."
A study for the project determined another problem area is transportation, including public transit, said Coun. Bev Esslinger.
"Women are making choices not to go out, not to attend events depending on the hour because they don't feel safe after certain times or at certain places. So that's a quality of life issue for women," said Esslinger, who was also a panellist for Monday's discussion.
The Safe Cities forum will explore how to prevent the root problem — men sexually assaulting and harassing women — along with various means for responding to that problem.
Edmonton will focus on transportation safety, violence against Indigenous women and girls, and problems with reporting sexual violence.
Possible initiatives the city could take on to tackle those priorities have yet to be determined, but Esslinger said she'd like to see the implementation of an app that allows people to report spaces where they don't feel safe.
"And then you could actually track what are the issues in various parts of the city so you could target investment to improve them," she said.
Gotell said another initiative could involve training for bystanders to intervene when they see someone being harassed.
"Especially if male bystanders step in and say 'stop this, it's not acceptable,' then things could really change," she said.
The Safe Cities forum wraps up Friday.

I have been fighting all day with an ESP32 module. It has 38 pins. Yesterday I got it to be able to get out of deep_sleep using a touch pin using MicroPython. Prior to that I was toggling the onboard LED with a touch pin. Copy the code and use it as you wish.
I put in that time.sleep(10) so I could catch it while it was awake and be able to make changes to the code if needed.
I've decided to add some to the code.
The above code does not indicate when the ESP32 is awake unless you are reading the serial output. I decided to include an LED indicator for when the module is awake. The LED goes out when the module goes into sleep mode.


Yesterday Admiral Mike Mullen put up a post about Iraq on his Facebook page. I replied with a few comments about the situation, and as expected he did not respond. The catering and covering for Islam by top US Military officials continues….
the Christians there have it worse than ever. Why does the Pentagon continue to cover for Islam, when Islam itself is the problem?
Christopher Logan: Nation building has not made us safer, as Islam is spreading across the West. In the end it makes little sense to fight them over there, and allow them to takeover here.
If he ever responds I will let you guys know.
All these useful idiots are doing a disservice to the USA. They should be court marshaled and sent to Guantanamo Camp.
I am not sure if you saw this.
Thanks admin for the link and keep up the good work man!
He also does not even begin to understand that appeasement does not work, and that Pakistan is playing a two-faced game with us.
From his latest FB post.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Sept. 2, 2010 – Though relief efforts may help people in flood-ravaged Pakistan and the rest of the world sees the United States in a more favorable light than they had before, the U.S. objective here simply is to help, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
For all of you who cannot attend to the 911 protest about the GZM, I have a suggestion. There is a very realistic simulation of NYC on Second Life which includes the memorial site. So maybe we will meet there about a week.

You don't need an account to read the article. There are a few other interesting links there too.
Our traitorous govt helping them with lawsuit jihad! What will they do when they destroy all that we have built and turn the US into a muslim hellhole? Who will pay their welfare? Who will they sue? Who will create jobs for the few who want to work?
Its time to turn back the tide in November. Get rid of the idiot liberals and then the arselifters.
Since it appears the Republicans will win in a landslide, things will improve. O'Bummer still needs to go but he'll become a lame duck.
But the party needs to be influenced to do the right thing. From what I can see, there are too few people like LTC Allen West.
I would like to make a suggestion. If all of us do 1 little thing every week, such as a flyer or a poster and stick it on a place where you see people putting up lost cats and dogs, then we may start waking people up. I did something real simple and then posted it up. I don't know how well it will go over but. That my little ACTION for the week. I have my blog, but that is just talk and people have to look for it. So, I thought I would do something more.
It's kinda like draw MO day.
I agree Txlady. We have to build up our numbers, and I am going to start handing out flyers next week. I hope others will follow your advice.
Maybe Gen. James Mattis will be appointed to GJCOC, to replace Mullen… Then attitudes would change.
The so called military leaders are committing treason against America. We need to send them all packing, from obummer on down.

Answer a few questions and we'll help you.
[X] Many testing and vaccination options are available, but can differ based upon your age, gender, and sexual orientation. Women who are pregnant have additional testing and vaccination options.
In order to provide you with tailored testing and vaccination options, questions about age, gender, and sexual orientation help to provide appropriate suggestions for your care. You should always consult with your healthcare provider with any questions or concerns about your health and these tests and vaccinations.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination is recommended for all infants, older children and adolescents who were not vaccinated previously, and adults at risk for HBV infection.
Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for all children starting at age 1 year, travelers to certain countries, and others at risk.
CDC recommends that health care providers test everyone for HIV between the ages of 13 and 64 at least once as part of routine health care. Talk to a healthcare provider about getting tested.
HIV is spread through unprotected sex and drug-injecting behaviors, so people who engage in these behaviors should get tested more often.
You can arm yourself with basic information about STDs: How are these diseases spread? How can you protect yourself? What are the treatment options? Read these STD Fact Sheets to find out.
People born from 1945 through 1965 are 5x more likely to have Hepatitis C. While anyone can get Hepatitis C, more than 75% of people with Hepatitis C were born during these years. That's why CDC recommends that anyone born from 1945 through 1965 get tested for Hepatitis C.
Knowing you have Hepatitis C can help you make important decisions about your health. Successful treatments can eliminate the virus from the body and prevent liver damage, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer.
Getting tested is the only way to know your HIV status. If you are HIV-positive, you can start getting treated, which can improve your health, prolong your life, and greatly lower your chance of spreading HIV to others.
Getting HIV tested can give you some important lifesaving information and can help keep you—and others—safe.

I'm a classically trained actor and author of a self-help book The Super Human Effect. After nine years off the stage, I am starting to feel the bug to get back into the Theatre- either onstage, backstage or in the classroom. I look forward to connecting with fellow artist. Interested in hearing about stage auditions in the Denver area.

Puerto Morelos Blog: Can you help the Elementary School in Central Vallarta?
Can you help the Elementary School in Central Vallarta?
Hello to all of my fellow Puerto Morelians!
We are wrapping our arms around a big project, and we need your help! We have been contacted by the "Simon Bolivar" Elementary School that is located in Puerto Morelos's Central Vallarta community. They have some needs that they really need help with, and we are hoping to get them what they need by the start of school next year!
We have met with Willian, the Director of the school and a really lovely man. We asked him to put together his need list and to put priority to the items so that we can direct the funds received to higher priority items first.
In reviewing the list, we also wanted to be sure that they actually get the items that they need. The Director and Teachers know which books they could really use, they have access to the school supply stores for the desks/chairs, etc. So, we are thinking that it is best if they use funds that we raise to purchase the items so that we can be sure they get what items they need/use. Also, I know that many of you aren't currently in town but would love to help. So, William has went through his list and sourced each item and priced it, so that we could start raising funds.
It's a Big List, It's a Big Project, but we are going to do our best to try and cover everything! We need your help! And we need your help recruiting help!
The fabulous Puerto Morelos Charity, El Mundo Para Puerto Morelos, has been a huge help in connecting the school with us and is going to help us out with collecting funds for the project! We are going to ensure that each and every cent is used for the items on their list, starting with the high priority items and work our way down the list.
1) If you are in Puerto Morelos: Please bring your donation to Mayan Riviera Properties Office. We have some fun new coozies that say "Puerto Morelian", so we are going to toss one of those your way for being awesome!
2) If you aren't in Puerto Morelos: You can donate from home through the El Mundo Para Puerto Morelos Website.
When you click on the webpage above you will see a link to donate.
Then, you'll be taken to an option where you can donate via Paypal or using a credit card. Whichever payment option you choose, you'll see a space that says, "Add Special Instructions to the Seller". Please enter "Simon Bolivar Elementary School" so that we earmark your donation for the school project.
How Can You Track the Project?
We are going to be keeping everyone posted about the project as it progresses through this Blog! Any new fundraising opportunities, updates on funds received, project implementation updates -- We'll be posting it here. We've also set up a fixed page on the blog up on the menu bar where you can see the progress we've all made in raising funds.

The happiness workout
31 Oct The happiness workout
If you're feeling miserable, medication might not be the answer for you. Rebecca Hardy discovers the power of positive thinking
Misery: it's everywhere these days. We are all popping happy pills like Smarties, checking ourselves into the Priory and stocking up on happiness books. But for every report telling us it is all down to our ever-longer working hours, additive-laden food and endless commutes, there is a growing body of scientific research suggesting that happiness is, quite literally, a state of mind.
"You have to decide to be happy," says Paul Jenner, author of Teach Yourself Happiness. "Most people think happiness is something that arrives by itself, like rain. But it isn't. Barring seriously depressed people, most westerners have plenty to be happy about, but they choose to focus on things they haven't got. It really is that simple."
Scientific research is starting to back this idea up. Rather than happiness being something we earn through circumstances, it seems we can work at it in the same way we work our bodies at the gym, reaching beyond our "genetic set point", the predisposition to happiness (or unhappiness) we were born with.
According to Sonja Lyubomirsky, psychology professor at the University of California, Riverside, who has been researching happiness, there is converging evidence that some people are born happier than others, but that all of us can learn from their habits to raise our own happiness levels.
How do we do this? By adopting certain exercises – or "happiness strategies"- that Lyubomirsky, in her tests, found very effective in perking people up.
"People born with a high set point will do these 'happiness strategies' automatically, and we all know people like that – they naturally look on the bright side and are good at maintaining relationships – but if it doesn't come naturally, we have to work at it, in the same way someone who is genetically determined to be overweight has to watch their diet and exercise."
This issue of "working at it" is crucial to Lyubomirsky's approach. She has discovered that timing and persistence are crucial. Do the exercises too often, and you may get bored; don't do them often enough, and they may not make a difference.
So can a negative person really become happier through adopting these strategies? Lyubomirsky thinks so. "If you work at it, it becomes a habit. Something I want to explore in the future is whether the exercises can become so habitual that we automatically begin to think in more positive ways."
The first thing to do is step off the "hedonic treadmill": that constant hunger for new acquisitions and experiences, which is seductive but which leaves people ultimately dissatisfied and hankering for more. "The hedonic treadmill is one of the major barriers to happiness," says Lyubomirsky. One way to counter it, she says, is to invest meaning in goals that we adapt to less easily, "things that challenge and surprise us", rather than static things such as money and possessions. "Because if you adapt to everything positive that happens to you, how can you raise and maintain your happiness levels?"
Lyubomirsky calls goals "dynamic happiness strategies": they are things such as learning a language, taking up exercise, trying to be more forgiving, or focusing more on spiritual or philosophical beliefs (well-known happiness-boosters).
No-nos include comparing ourselves to other people and negative rumination ("in a way that doesn't problem-solve"). "Research shows that constant rumination on negative events is linked to depression. If you are mildly depressed, it will depress you even more," she explains.
Can moaning ever be useful? Perhaps, says Nicky Page, from the UK Centre for Applied Positive Psychology, citing research that in order to be a "high-performing team" you need three positive interactions (approvals) to one negative interaction (disagreement). "The point is that you need that negativity, otherwise you become a back-slapping loop that can't look at itself objectively."
What most psychologists agree is that putting our thoughts into writing is useful. "Writing about your goals gives you an opportunity to learn about who you really are," says Lyubomirsky. "It helps you see the 'big picture' of your life" ê_Ôš
Five ways to lift your mood
1 Make a note of three things that went well today, and why
This exercise, devised by former president of the American Psychological Association, Martin Seligman, proved so powerful that it helped to launch the Positive Psychology Movement. What Seligman found was that this exercise, above all others, had a significant effect on treating depression, comparing favourably to anti-depressants and psychotherapy.
Psychologist Robert Emmons, from the University of California at Davis, found it improves physical health, energy levels and, for patients with neuromuscular disease, relieves pain and fatigue. One study found it worked better if it was done weekly instead.
2 Identify your strengths and every week, aim to use them in new, creative ways.
"This exercise gives a huge boost," says Page. "It significantly increases people's wellbeing and makes them feel more engaged at work … One study showed that the average person uses their strengths only 37% of the time, while 'highly engaged individuals' use them for more than 70% of any given week." Identify your strengths by taking a free test (try viastrengths.org) or asking friends.
3 Imagine and write about your best possible self in 10 years' time.
"This is an optimism exercise," says Lyubomirsky. "It leads the person to consider their life dreams, boosts positive thinking and enhances self-regulation." Psychologists have long known that optimism is a good buffer against unhappiness, as well as being associated with longer life and good physical health.
4 Write someone a thank-you letter.
If there is someone you are grateful to – a friend, a mentor or a parent – once a month write a 300-word thank-you letter and, here comes the yucky part, deliver it personally. Better still, read it aloud. Seligman found people who do this just once are less depressed and happier a month later. Three months later, the effect was gone – so you have to repeat the exercise.
5 Commit five acts of kindness a week.
It can be anything from helping an elderly neighbour with her shopping to babysitting. Interestingly, people told to vary their good deeds ended up happier than those who felt pressured into being kind all the time. Why does altruism give you a lift? Psychologists say it makes you feel generous and capable, allowing a greater sense of connection – all of which make life a more pleasurable place.


….Eye spy with my little eye something beginning with 'T'….
T for TV of course:) I'm always looking for inspiration and new products and trust me I'm never looking at TV's. Then this happened and caught my eye…Samsung TV 'The Frame'. Interior designers all grind their teeth when it comes to the magic box. How to avoid it in photographs and how to style it in to the design. This big mass of black is getting bigger and it is a must have piece of kit for most homes. So how do we disguise it, well Samsung has produced a winner in my eyes and its called 'The Frame' this Samsung TV with it slim looks will convince anybody that it is a picture frame. Check out the image above, I mean can you tell art print from TV. No more black void rectangles in your living rooms…just leave 'The Frame' in art mode and it displays art that fits seamlessly into the environment. Giving you a masterpiece of art work to enjoy. No more black voids, No more avoiding the TV in your interior photos.
Pantone announced the colour of the year 2017 is GREEN, it should have come with a sub heading saying 'house plants'. Plants are everywhere and very on trend. They soften edges and corners, bring interest and life to a room. Don't be fussy and have one…NO…go wild and have a jungle. Plants on the floor, hang them from the ceiling, tall plants to small cactus's, the more the merrier. To compliment the plant craze I have noticed more and more vertical gardens with different ways to display plants in the home. Wall mounted vessels, poles with hanging plant pots, mesh and boxes that look like art…all to display greenery. This might be the next feature wall your looking for!
The Samsung TV The frame has been released in the USA and will hopefully be coming to the UK soon.

Press Release (ePRNews.com) - FALL RIVER, Mass. - Mar 09, 2018 - Bolger & O'Hearn (B&O), the leading developer of specialty chemicals for textiles, has launched OmniBloq, a revolutionary Stormproof/Breathable performance finish.
OmniBloq provides laminate-like resistance to the harshest storms without inhibiting comfort or breathability. It recently had its debut in Boulder in late January, at the Meteorite Winter Adventure Camp, where media and outdoor apparel brands received a sneak peek at the capabilities of this new textile finish.
"The reception was overwhelmingly positive," said Shaun O'Hearn, President at B&O. "We sparked some big excitement for outdoor garment and sportswear media and manufacturers because everyone is looking for innovation while minimizing risk to brand equity. B&O is proving to be the bridge between innovation and risk management that brands need.
The most well-known water proof/breathable constructions on the market today are made from a maze of at least 6 layers including fabrics, films, glues, and tapes. This is an incredible amount of resources for such a small return. Yes, complex laminate-constructed garments can keep the water out effectively but let's face it, even with minimal activity you will get "sweat wet". Once you step back from the magical world of marketing claims you realize that you are still getting wet and you paid for and used an incredible amount of resources to do so. OmniBloq is different; it is specially designed to deliver greater performance than traditional DWRs while only using one layer, making it a uniquely stormproof- breathable option.
OmniBloq Stormproof/Breathable finish is applied to fabrics at textile mills. To date, major brands and the US Military have adopted OmniBloq for their next generation product launches. OmniBloq is proving to be the most advanced resource-conscious and effective protective finish available. In addition, other industries such as workwear and upholstery are also starting to look to OmniBloq for its comfort, breathability, and stormproof protection.
Since its founding in 1969, Bolger & O'Hearn has been selling uniquely efficient and consistently high-quality chemicals. Its personalized service approach has been the pillar of its success. From its traditional beginnings in the textile industry, B&O has expanded into paper coatings, non-wovens, and other non-textile manufactured products, all of which find applications in a wide range of industries. Today, its diverse and comprehensive product line—totaling over 2,500 products—is sold and distributed globally. Committed to a zero-carbon future, B&O currently produces its products using renewable energy. The solar voltaic array on its facilities allow it to displace more than 100,000 pounds of carbon each year. To learn more, go to bolgerohearn.com.


Take part in one of our Practical Courses and learn more about individual cell-based assays. These 2 day courses will give a profound technical background in selected lectures. The practical part includes hands-on sessions to practice the handling of the ibidi slides and instruments for chemotaxis, flow applications, oxygen measurement, or impedance studies. All courses are intended for scientists with a profound experience in cell culture and sterile working techniques.
The objective of the course is to give scientists a profound background in cell culture biology and physical basics of perfusion based assays. In the practical part endothelial cells (HUVEC) are cultured under physiological flow conditions.
The aim of the course is to learn the experimental setup and analysis of chemotactical assays, by means of video microscopy. The focus is on analysis of chemotaxis of adherent cells in 2D and non-adherent cells in 3D gel matrices.
Users will learn to run cellular assays using the ECIS System. This includes setting up the instrument, preparation of the electrodes, seeding cells, and data analysis. The practical part will be accompanied by theoretical sessions on ECIS basics, applications, and software.
Impedance measurements reveal the impact of flow conditioning on an intact cell layer over short and long time periods. The course provides background information, useful handling tips, and a profound insight into impedance measurements with the ECIS System.
"Thanks for providing such a great practical course on chemotaxis assays. I have subsequently been successful in optimizing a chemotaxis protocol for THP-1 immune cells! I am sure I never would have managed to set up this experiment at all without your help."
"Thank you very much for organizing the training course. It was very helpful. We all enjoyed the course very much and I felt I was energized after attending this training. A big special thank you for letting me rediscover the great value of the ibidi website."


As for sound, the so-called Twin Centre technology does a fine job of projecting dialogue in between the two front channels, though Dolby Virtual Speaker mode fails to generate anything approaching surround sound – but at least it lends the soundstage a greater sense of space and width than regular stereo playback.
As a result, "Sith's" opening space scrap doesn't immerse you in the action like it does on a 5.1-channel system, with no real sense that the action is taking place all around you. But the system makes up for it in other ways – the sub delivers well-controlled bass that injects drama into the proceedings, and the front speakers' output is sharp, direct and undistorted at loud volumes.
And as a music player the SC-PTX7 excels. Songs ripped in LPCM sound every bit as detailed as they do when played from CD, and compressed AAC files are equally enjoyable. It does its best with DVD-Audio too, reproducing the extra sonic detail with ease – but once again our enjoyment of 5.1-channel discs is curtailed by the lack of rear speakers.
Under normal circumstances, a 2.1-channel system for over £450 would be considered expensive (some sites are even selling it for as much as £800, and don't confuse the SC-PTX7 with the lower-specced SC-PTX5), but with so many unusual value-adding features on board that amount of cash feels strangely justified, especially if you don't have the space (or permission) to install a full 5.1 setup.
We're particularly keen on the jukebox feature, which is a godsend for those who use their home cinema system to play music as much as movies. Having network capability and Gracenote access on board makes ripping and organising music a hassle-free experience too.
Performance is also pleasing, with top-notch 1080p picture quality and a pseudo centre channel that sounds convincing. Only Dolby Virtual Speaker lets the side down, failing to generate the promised '5.1-channel effect' – but then again, we've yet to hear a virtual surround mode that does.
